Hello guys,
First off, I have a rooted Panasonic P81 with a MTK-6592 Chip-set maybe, and its rooted(obviously),
So Can someone tell me how do i port a Rom for my device, like i want miui v6 for my Panasonic P81(which is not available currently).
Help would be highly appreciated,
Thanks a ton!
First off all you should search for a porting guide... which can be easily found with the search forum function.
Then you gotta make sure you can get a hold on the RAMDISK for your device.... The rest of the porting will be explained in the forums.

So i got a Jellybean base and i want to upgrade to Lolipop, and the porting guide says that the Port rom should be of the same version as then STOCK what do i do?
Well your base ROM has to be an official ROM made for your phone, meaning if you want lollipop, but they haven't got lollipop for your device yet, that you can't port a rom for your phone...
Porting actually only means, that when someone makes a ROM (which is a customised version of the base firmware) for like the galaxy S4 , and calls it galaxyfosho, and you got a for example HTC M9 , that you can get the galaxyfosho (customised base) on your HTC.
Do you get what I mean?

So your question was: you got JB and want to go to lollipop?
Answer:
You gotta get a Lollipop stock Base First. On which you can port a custom Lollipop ROM

Well, I had a Galaxy S i9003 before, as far as i know, Samsung had just released the gingerbread for that handset, but i had flashed Cyanogenmod, and many custom roms based on Kitkat and jellybean, then did that happnen?
Yeah it is possible, if it is availble for your handset, but since you said no-one did it before, you gotta try working it out yourself, but it ain't easy

Hello All,
Back in April I flashed my phone with the only (at the time) SMB? for bell, . I used a guide to get my phone to build number OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 - GreyBlurred.
I find updating Android so confusing - iPhone was a lot easier :\ but Android rox so here i am.
I've been all over trying different methods to update my phone with no avail. At this point, I don't even care if i lose my app data.
What is the best OS i should run on my Bell Atrix, and how can I do it? Any forum links would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There you are, everything you need from start to finish.
Make sure you read and understand every line.
After you flash your first rom with those instructions, and feel comfortable with flashing, I suggest you try out both cm7 and miui. Cm7 is original looking android with tons of new features and settings. Miui is a sexy slick looking rom with tons of new features. It's kind of like IOS. But still holds true to android customizability. The procedure is the same with all roms in the first thread i linked, but once you've done all of those things once, you can skip down to "Installing a Custom Rom". No need to re-unlock your bootloader and re-install custom recovery.

Feel free to ask any questions/pm, but this should technically be in the Q&A forum.
Cheers!

Remember. Always backup!
Well first off make sure you have Clockwork Recovery installed on your phone.
(you have to be bootloader unlocked for the full recovery to be installed) If you haven't unlocked the bootloader, make sure you go to the development forum and read up on how to do that using the "international pudding"
Once you have clockwork recovery installed, head on over to this thread and download the gobstopper that you'd like... I would go for the 2.3.6 updated one.
This is a bone stock bell rom, and its the EASIEST way to get back to stock bell.
Thanks guys! CM was a waste of time since I'm on an Atrix... I dont know if that rom is made for the Atrix - it doesn't say so on the site. Now running GB 2.3.6 Thanks a bunch!
Olympus is atrix's codename in cm. It is made for the atrix.
But glad to hear you're running gb!
Wow Bell_GB_2.3.6 has amazing battery life. 3x better than before! Yippeee

A custom rom is a rom that is developed and compiled from a team of community developers. They are not official roms from Samsung or any manufacture however are quite often very good and bring us an updated Android version that our manufacture will not provide.
I have been running ICS Passion since V 10 and currently running 10.6 with plans to flash to V 11 as soon as it comes out. The following thread is about the development of ICS Passion and the work of their great developers.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
I am in no way part of their work or great team but greatly enjoy the fruits of their labor and praise their efforts.
Their thread has links and information on how to flash their custom rom. Hope this helps explain things.
bro after flashing this rom will my phone start working normal?/ will the issues go away??
You can read this first to get a feeling (foreplay lolz)
If you have difficulty understanding it, then we'll see what we can do lolz

you should try the AIO Vibrant Toolbox help me alot.
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
Oop wrong post
Vouch for the toolbox, it really simplifies everything. It walks you through every step of what is usually a fairly complex procedure without. Bear in mind that even with that, however, you need to download a rom first.
When/If you get the toolbox, I'd suggest heading back to stock first, as that basically wipes your slate completely clean before starting out, then root your phone, then get a custom rom.
Hi, i don't know if iam correct at all
But i need an official stock Android 4.4.4.(not custom rom, based on it)
Can you help me ?

thanks
Good luck if you are talking about GT-i9300!

There will be no 4.4 official stock for galaxy s3, never, ever.
If you need 4.4.4 like CM go to cyanogenmod site and follow the steps (easy peasy installation).
It's true, that iam a newbie in Android's world.
I own samsung s3 since 2 months & it's my first android experience.
That's why i need a little explanation
why official stock rom for version 4.4.4. isn't available for our phones.
When Win XP has arrived , it was for all PCs, isn't it ?

That is samsungs decision, after some time they stop the development for the phone, and it's been 2 years now with s3, from ics to jelly bean, and the time has come and development is stopped.
But, you have samsung kitkat ports here on xda under android development, but, since they are unofficial there might be some bugs if you don't pair them with a good kernel.
Since you are new, i suggest you to take a break and read, read all the FAQ, read every info, read about EFS backup (very important) and then, when you have all the information you need, go with rom flashing etc.
And listen to me, if you won't read and inform yourself you will mess something up and come back here to ask for help, and first response you will get is read before doing anything.
Happy readin, flashing, cheers
In this case here is my next question
On the horizon appears the next version - Android 5.0
If i understand correctly, that means once again Android x.x will not be made available for our phones and we will need to get again some custom roms, aren't we ?
Hello all ,
Here is the question is it posbile to root LG g3 D855 when you instal stock 5.0 Lolipop ? Or is there any nice ROM with rooted 5.0
Thank you all.
no you can't root lollipop, you have to downgrade.
yes, there are plenty of lollipop roms, from aosp to stock. look in the development forums..

Yes but what is the best one ? That is 5.0 and its rooted ?
Try to get more information from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772658 it lists all the information you may need.
For the best ROM. Everyone may have different comment. I am using Resurrection which is smooth and it got enough function that I want. Someone may stick on stock based rom. You can try yourself. Most of them are rooted. So you can flash them and test with your own experience. :highfive:
Nice spam thread here is a development thread, so if u want to ask something better open a thread in Q&A
Hello Guys,
I am new To XDA and recently registered. So I am not sure that I am writing this thread in right place or not. So, please tell me the right place if i am wrong.
Ok, I have Samsung Galaxy A5 (2014)/(2015) (SM-A500G). It came with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
As most of you know that few months earlier samsung rolled out the marshmallow upgrade (6.0.1).
I upgraded but my device performance considerably reduces. Even some daily used to tasks start giving too much load to the device. In small words, Device started to hang too many times than earlier.
And some of you may suggest the reasons like:- Nearly complete storage, Power Saving, Too much apps, Virus and malware etc.
(Samsung Help Center Suggested it). But i can assure you this is not the reason. My storage is almost 70% free. etc etc.
The real reason is MARSHMALLOW UPGRADE.
So, I think the best way to solve it is Rooting.
But I am an newbie to the world of rooting. I don't know what is custom recovery, TWRP, Odin, CF-Autoroot etc.
I only heard there names but nothing else.
This doesn't mean that I know nothing about how android works and what is custom ROMs. I can manage these things; but not the above mentioned.
So please anyone of you can tell a detailed guide how to root galaxy A5 (2014) on marshmallow 6.0.1 with all the steps mentioned
and what each steps do. It will be very helpful.
And few things more, 1] I am thinking that after rooting I reinstall the official Marshmallow ROM; as earlier I updated my phone by OTA update and so might it cannot get to it's full potential. I am not sure that this method will work or not, so please clarify this point also.
2] My only source of Internet Connection is the device itself by making hotspot. So please please guys, give me a fully tested crash proof way to do rooting. I don't want to brick my device ( No one wants but in this case if it happens I can't find some way on the internet to reverse it). And you can also suggest any before hand precautions like full Backup of current system image etc etc. that will help if something goes wrong.
3] I already read a few threads on XDA about this issue but I cannot understand properly, so please don't provide links to these threads.
4] Also please provide a list of official and unofficial ROMs for A5
Thanks in advance
I have to read some pages to find a good tutorial but I'll find one. I root Samsung phones all the time. Its not going to brick your device. Asking here was smart, don't trust any website you find off google without fully understanding. Also, you can not install stock ROMs from custom recovery, only from a computer. That process is easy. Download the firmware and flash it. The other choice is custom ROM and recovery. Let me know what option you want to go with and I'll explain more. There are good custom ROMs, ressurection remix. Lineage os. Ice, tipsy is a good one. I use RR on my S5 and s7

Thanks for reply. I really appreciate it.
I read your reply but can't understand it fully. The reason is simple- I currently don't know what is Custom recovery and Flashing. Please explain these terms first and then I will tell what way I want.
Thanks.
A custom recovery allows you to flash zip files and operating systems from your phone directly, but only custom operating systems, not the official Samsung firmware. It is safe to use. Flashing stock firmware is the operating system as Samsung released it with nothing changed. You can gain root access to your device on stock or custom. Usually custom removes the carrier and Samsung stuff that takes up phone memory. It depends on what you want to use your phone for.
OK I go for samsung stock (official) ROM
Flashing is installing the contents of the package to your phone with a special tool like Odin or a custom recovery. And recovery is the menu on your phone from which you can restore backups or flash files.

Create an account on this site, it is free. Locate firmware 5.1.1 for your device, and make sure it is the same as your cellular service provider. So if you are on AT&T download a5 5.1.1 AT&T firmware file. It will be a large file. Once you have the file you will need a computer application named Odin. I will post a link for it shortly.
Hey wait a second. there's 6.0.1 or 5.0.2 files present. no 5.1.1.
Sorry, I replied too late. Actually caught in busy work.
Ok, I googled to know more about rooting etc. etc.
And I got a few uderstanding.
Then I re-read your replies and fully understood them.
Then something came to my mind:-
I am currently on 6.0.1 and Want to re-install it. So I currently downloaded 6.0.1 firmware from sammobile.
So, I don't know Odin can reinstall firmwares or not.
Just for your knowledge. See If we are going right or not.
Thanks
Hey, Anyone out there, please help me.
