Which ROM?
R there any ICS ones?
WOuld love to hear ur thoughts
Thank you
Seriously, if you don't know whether or not there's even an ICS ROM available yet, maybe you shouldn't be flashing a $600+ phone, yeah? Or, you know... use the search tool?

you should try with stock rom for a while, start reading about flashing roms and you will be ready to flash
I know it's annoying to have to wait, but it's better to do it, than wind up with a potentially ruined device.
@benyben123
I suggest trying out Checkrom 4.0. It is very stable
Stock ROM but ROOTED and your' good to go..................friendly recommendation
Dude, if You just got Your phone and don't know what rom to choose at first learn the device. You don't need neither custom rom nor root. These are just addons for great device. It's common that people don't use their device but play with it and it ends badly. You assumed that any rom is good apart from stock but stock rom is very good. Also You don't need to root it instantly. Some say that "phone is unusable in non rooted state" - it's bull s**t. Apps that require root are designed to meet very specific needs, not for regular users. It's because android is veery advanced and allow many things without administrator privileges (this is not an iphone !). Remember - people think that root is "something everyone should do at once" - no it's not, and it's very dangerous in hands of unexperienced user. One false move with root privileges and You will start learning many things about flashing at once just to recover your device. Also remember that this is not another "application privilege". App with root privs is capable of wiping entire system in a seconds including IMEI data etc.
It's really friendly advice - leave Your phone as it is for now, learn how it works, install some apps and read as much as You can. Then You will know what your device is capable of and what can be achieved by rooting / flashing kernels or roms. Flashing without a reason, just for fun is stupid and ends with full pants.

Thank you all for all your responses!!! Much appreciated!!!
Official MIUI without a doubt. The best ROM I've used on any device.

But is MIUI even supported? Isn't it ported (which means its not so good, but only kinda?)

...another thing worth to read about. What do You mean by supported ? It's supported by it's designers.
For SGS2 we have custom ROMs like CheckROM - modified Samsung officials, added some tweaks, apps, removed less usable apps. And ROMs like MIUI or CyanogenMod - they are AOSP (android open source project) and have little in common with Samsung official firmware, ex. no TouchWiz so some Samsung specific apps will not work on them. According to Wikipedia - MIUI is based on CM7.1 sources.
MIUI is not "ported", it's prepared for many devices including SGS2.
Don't do *anything* until you've done a *lot* of reading. Enjoy the phone. It's a fantastic device simply running stock firmware.
Once you're comfortable enough to be able to do it in your sleep (And not before. If you have to ask questions about this, you're not ready. It is an absolutely simple process), root your phone using a CFRoot kernel.
This will enable you to remove/freeze all the crap telcos/Samsung put on the phone and all the other joyful things that come with having a rooted phone. And do a lot more reading. Only this time read the threads devoted to the various roms/kernels. Read other users experiences with these. The features. Pluses. Downsides. Ask specific questions about them in these threads.
From there, you can make an informed decision about a rom/kernel combo to try. Believe me, if you do a couple of weeks of reading/research before you do anything, you'll reap the rewards.
If you jump in the deep end without understanding what you're doing, you could end up with a soft brick that might take you a few days to fix at best. Or returning the phone to Samsung /potentially having to pay to have it repaired out of your own pocket at worst.
Just a few things to consider
I've been running CyanogenMod 11 for about a month now. I like it a lot, however there are instabilities. Youtube cannot play videos at all, for example; Snapchat totally fails to work; and one or two apps I've tried to install wouldn't even open. Occasionally a program will crash with a "Such-and such service has stopped" error notice.
Can anyone suggest a more stable ROM? I'm a newbie to flashing, I'm not experienced or interested in trying out different ROMs. I'm not a power user, I just want a stable, reliable ROM. Is cm11 known to have the issues I'm experiencing? Can anyone suggest an alternative?
Thanks.

Since cm-11.0 for this device is not in nightlies major bugs should be expected. Sorry, I don't have a suggestion, but I have a question. Does the headphone jack work on cm11?

Nightly is the first "Official" status of a device from CM. If the device is very stable, with all system working properly and with minimal buggy behaviors CM begins building the ROM officially as a "Nightly" assuming the dev is following best practices etc.

I don't think that anyone has the stock rom for the Mega(s) yet, waiting patiently for the guys upstairs to crack the bootloader.
however you might try to restore with Kies.

You are not right, I for instance have stock ROM on my Mega and I am quite satisfied... Ohhh, maybe I'm a little lying... :silly: it is MegaFireMj2V5 from megalomanic14 which is based upon a stock ROM but is greatly improved - if you are looking for alternative to stock or CM11 rom's it's worth a shot.
As for return to stock ROM - be careful to choose right version: all new firmware (beginning from CNA1) are 'enhanced' with new bootloader and Samsung KIES which is new security system. If you upgrade your Mega by Kies or by Odin with newest firmware you will be lacked possibility to downgrade AND every attempt to root or flash custom recovery will result in tipping flashing counter without any possibility to clear it. So be extremely cautious if you want to mod your Mega with no problems.
You can choose older firmware on Sammobile an flash it thru Odin - then you will have fresh stock ROM on your unit. There are many tutorials how to do it.

Many thanks, guys.
I've been on Sammobile and selected "I9205XXUCNA2_I9205BTUCNA1_BTU.zip", which I intend to install in the next couple of hours unless anyone on here screams at me that I shouldn't! I'm in the UK with a GT-i9250, so I believe that's the right version for me.
To be honest, I'm not worried about tipping the flashing counter (if I even understand properly what that means). I rooted my phone some time ago, and liked that. Two weeks ago I decided to try Cyanogenmod since I've never used a different ROM. I wasn't impressed, and have decided I want to go back to Samsung original. If, in the process, I prevent myself from ever being able to flash another alternative ROM, or I void the phone's warrenty in any way, I can live with that.

OK, it's your choice... in fact newest firmware do not offer nothing new but bootloder without return and KNOX. CNA2 it's firmware with KNOX embedded. For mundane user this means nothing special, but for somebody who plan to root and mod it could be pain in... Try to read a little about rooting firmware with KNOX... but as I said, you are warned... tipping counter means setting flag which shows to e.g. service so there was installed unofficial software and it means so you are lacking your warranty. With firmware with KNOX this is irreversible because setting such flag physically burns efuse in system making hardware change. Cheers...
I stay on firmware without KNOX because of possibility to change ROMs and easy install custom software. Waiting for KK which for sure will have 'new type' bootloader and then will be no choice...

Hmmm, you are right... In such case i recommend you to install custom ROM MegaFireMJ2V6 made by megalomanic14 on basis stock MJ2 which you can find HERE.
Actually I am using this ROM and can say it is very good - looks like stock but is much faster. It's rooted already. Version X offer firmware stripped from unneeded apps to the extent.

Thank you very much. Most of that sentences was Greek to me, but I get the idea! The truth is, I put my foot into the water of flashing custom ROMS, and decided it wasn't for me. I just want one, reliable ROM that I can live with for many months without having to change it. That's why I decided to go back to Samsung, because there were too many bugs in Cyanogenmod and I don't want to start testing one ROM after the next. I just want to install a reliable, bug-free ROM now, and have done with it. So you think that MegaFireMJ2V6 would be such a ROM in my case?
PS:
It seems MegaFireMJ2V6 can't be downloaded from that link anyway?

Thank you, but I've tried this several times, and the only download available is the most recent.
You are wrong. It shows all the firmwares released for a model. I can see all the releases for GT-I9200. Attached is a screenshot of the older firmware without knox....
As far as I understand it, these are all the same ROM, simply different versions for different countries. When I put in my phone, GT-i9250, I am presented with a similar page, but it's only the one ROM; 4.2.2 with KNOX.
Ok man, I am done trying to explain things to you. The list you showed only displays Knox firmware, but what you said is not true. Here is another site with older firmware displayed for the I9205. There is no I9250 model Mega afaik..

In my opinion, MIUI (sadly) isn't the best ROM for this device... I'm using CyanEcch (CM 12.1) at the moment, and am pretty satisfied with it, the battery seems to last a little longer. Still waiting for an optimized kernel, though

I'm afraid you'll be waiting for a long time, as we need the kernel source codes first. Xiaomi doesn't seem to be excited about supporting developers in this way, unfortunately.

I don't think Xiaomi's to blame for that... Mediatek says "I'll deliver an awesome CPU for a really low price", and Xiaomi accepts, although the fine print says Mediatek retains all sources and control over the kernel. The only way out of this deadend would be for Xiaomi to "demand" sources to be delivered, even if only to them, in order to make their own devices better, cancelling any and all present and future contracts if otherwise.
Either way, I'm oldschool, I still (want to) believe sources will be leaked somehow, and the general public will (deservingly) get a perfected ROM and kernel for the device they purchased, independently of eventual legal terms.

I thought we had already tried to port known kernel sources from other MediaTek devices like the HTC One M9+ and others that had already had their kernels released? Maybe that was some other code, I'm not sure.
I've heard the faintest of rumors that some people already have the kernel source codes and are not releasing them for fear of prosecution, although I can't confirm them or even say I'm convinced myself.

To root and flashing rom you can referred to post #11 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/help/redmi-note-2-downgrade-upgrade-problem-t3243079
1) tried used this to root: http://en.miui.com/thread-152550-1-1.html?mobile=2 if failed then used the below method.
2) Windroid was an easy way to root rmn2: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=167882&extra=pag
For flashing any rom to your existing unofficial rom, you need to full wiped, so used the miui system backup to backup you data. It will make you newly flashed rom stable.

What I read somewhere around here was that some sources were leaked, but they were incomplete. However, this being the mighty anonymous internet, I think anyone would be able to upload a kernel (or even the source) somewhere anonymously, even if through proxies.
Uh.. hi there, I'm using a Redmi note 2. Not planning on changing phones soon... but I kinda deleted my ROM in the bid to factory reset my phone. Now it won't come on. I'm seeing new updated ROMs for the TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)… but I just want my phone the way it was. I've searched almost the entire Redmi note 2 databases and related searches, but can't seem to find the Original ROM or OS that came with the phone. URGENT HELP needed!
Thanks, Peter.

Leave some posts so I know it works OK, I'm new to this
It would be good if someone could post if this rom was ok, as have a T825 rom built with the same method that I cannot test, due to having a T820 myself. So speak up please
Thank you for this. Now I have to ask a couple of newbie questions. I've been exclusively in the Sony Xperia and Nexus worlds before, this being my first Samsung. In trying to figure out if the processes I've become familiar with are applicable to this device, using your ROM.
For instance, my Sony's were pretty easy after the initial root. Kind souls in the community took new releases and created a pre-rooted firmware with TWRP and SuperSU built-in. I could then just dirty flash the ROM from TWRP, sometimes wiping cache/dalvic, and like magic my device is upgraded with no loss of data.
Is this how it works with this AQF5 ROM? I'm starting with a rooted (@ashyx method) T820 with AQBB. Do I just download the rooted ROM to SD card, boot to TWRP, dirty flash and go?
Thanks again!
Hi,
Dirty flash should work, sometimes I try that first and if I get any strange behaviour, do a wipe and re flash then load the rest back with titanium backup. Make sure you have all your backups organised first before starting.
Let me know how it works out. The risk with the first option is something residual being left that may result in force closes or just defeating the purpose.
Just beware if for some reason it doesn't root DM verity will occur and you will be forced to format internal data so back that up to your external card too, before, just in case, shouldn't happen though. I have no idea how many others have used this yet as there have been no replies to say all ok

Not sure I can use this ROM in Germany, what kind of modifications are made? Would love to see some development
As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

I have always wondered about that. Flashing a base from another country. Like I live in the US so I always have flashed USA versions. You are

For the record, I don't live in the us but bought mine from best buys whilst there, it was rooted within a couple of hours from memory,..... can't help myself ?.
I Flashed a firmware from another country after that,, just because it was a later series, can't remember which.
I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

Thanks,
This rom is not being developed any more,but the tweaked version in this forum, is based off the stock firmware which came after this,it runs stable, has a few enhancements and being a later base it's got a number of Samsung security updates too.
Would this thread be applicable to a Wi-Fi only S3 model "SM-T820NZKAXAR" ?

EUI is the best firmware. You just made your life ****ty by root and flashing. Every single problem in leMax2 xda forum come from flashing.

EUI itself is the main problem.

EUI is heavily skinned and literally cuts the performance in half (tested using geekbench) and I personally don't like how it looks. This is why there are custom ROMs.
I had the same problem but after updating modem firmware to s21 or s23 that problem didn't exist anymore.
I,am running lineage os 14.1 on the le max 2 x820.
Also, pay attention before updating if your devices is a x820 or x828 there is a difference. and then update the driver to related version numbers.
Seriously

"You just made your life ****ty by root and flashing. Every single problem in leMax2 xda forum come from flashing."
You see this? You see this crap? This is a lie. Rooting and flashing don't mess up anything if you know what you're doing. Flashing roms improves your experience. If you don't know how to flash a rom or fix the problems that may arise, it's your fault and shouldn't do it in the first place. If you know what you're doing then go on or do it, otherwise shut up

That was not a lie mate, that was utter bull****. I felt like reporting that crap but then should we really be bothered?

We shouldn't be bothered but we should point out the stupid stuff. If a guy that doesn't know many things about this comes here and sees that, he would be put down and scared to root or flash or do anything. People are easily scared and influenced

Aptly said. :good:
Both of you are but out of track.
EUI is almost buggles or even completely buggles BUT its skin is really power consuming and some people don't like it so they want to switch to pure Android or near pure Android. The reason why these ROMs have bugs is that your default rom (from LeEco) is made from a whole team which job is to do the software (the rom). Custom ROMs are made by one person (sometimes more) who has to make there source code of a rom (lineage os, rr ect.) using a device tree (specs of the device) to build it. Some stuff aren't included in the device trees (The camera codes for some legal reasons and other things). Because of that people have to find a way to get the camera and other components to work. Btw people who make custom ROMs dont always receive money (but you can donate them if you want).
This is why custom ROMs are sometimes buggy.
Root and flashing are most of the time not dangerous. Some companies are making built-in root protection to prevent root and if they detect root it will bootloop (LeEco doesn't do that so our phones are fine). Flashing can also brick your phone IF you're not careful. If you don't know how to recover just Google it. There are a lot of ways to unbrick a phone or get your default rom back. Still don't be scared of it. Make sure that the rom, kernel,firmware and recovery is for your phone and only for your phone (every rom and recovery is comparable with x820, x821 and x829). If you see x800, x900 or something that doesn't match WILL NOT work.
I hope this helps somehow.

Because the fingerprint sensor is somehow "stuck" and I think that the option to take pictures with the fingerprint is selected in the camera app, then you'll have photos taken as soon as you'll start the app. Go to the settings of the camera and unselect this feature.
Also try flashing different modems, especially from 23s or 26s. I remember somebody said the fp came back to life after that.
Don't lose your patience. This is a forum, ask and you will get the answer. The phone cannot be bricked easily, so don't worry about that.

I don't know who is that supposed to help as I'm a dev and I've been in this game for 6 years. I never said anything about eui being bad or something. There was a guy that said that rooting and flashing creates all the problems we face which is not true. The reason custom roms for our device has bugs is because we don't have so proprietary hals and blobs and the ones we have are stuck on marshmallow. If someone doesn't know how to properly flash a rom and recover if something happens, they shouldn't do it

Heyyo, hmm which ones have you flashed? Can you provide links please?
What I'd recommend is trying a fastboot flash of an EUI based ROM that will hopefully redo the firmware and hopefully fix the camera and fingerprint issue.
Please download the fastboot version Cuoco92's EUI ROM and flash it via fastboot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-leeco-le2x820max5-9-023s-cuoco92-t3608187
If that resolves it? Then you should be able to reflash TWRP and custom ROMs if you'd like
I think the OP abandoned the thread. Firstly would be nice to change the modem, then flash another EUI as per the suggestions.
PS: Guys, also stop the fight with EUI good/bad etc... Android is a system of choice, XDA is here to help, we are here to help/ get help.
