Hi all, I have a refurbished At&T note 3 that hasn’t been booted since I got it from an insurance claim back in 2015. I kinda forgot about it. Then today I got curious if there were stable custom rims that make it usable again to play around with. Not to be used as my main device. Anyhoo I’ve been absent from the forums for a long time. Hoping somebody will point me in the direction of the most stable custom rom available for this device please and thank you. I’m looking forward to tinkering with it again

Hey guys,
I have a Touch Pro for Sprint and I have been looking around and even playing with a few Roms, but none have made a great impression on me. If I understand correctly most Roms are based off of the original, bare, and stripped Rom. What I am wondering is if some one could just either confirm this to be true or tell me what is actually the truth. I know a little about programing, but have a friend that is willing to help me out. So if anyone will give me any information in starting out this process that would be great. Thanks.
I am no expert, I simply enjoy rooting pretty much everything I have relating to technology. Now, the Razr is an amazing phone, and BECAUSE its an amazing phone, I decided NOT to root it until a way to Unbrick became available. Well, that day came (A droidrzr dot come link), so of course, I rooted my Razr and installed the only rom I saw available for the VZW version. Here's the dilemma:
I am in no way making demands or trying to offend anyone, I simply have a question: Are there more ROMS coming out for the RAZR? I have seen all of the mods in these forums, I just have no need for them. I ask because the day my Evo 3D became 'rootable', about 4 or 5 ROMS rolled out right pretty much within hours, and while we DO have a custom ROM for the RAZR, umm...that's it. I appreciate the ROM, I have it installed, but supposedly the big deal was that there was no way to recover from an unbricked RAZR, and now there is, yet there's really no activity in the DEV section aside from people arguing about the locked bootloader.
Maybe I'm just ignorant and the fastboot files don't provide any help at all. I'll attribute that to what I said at the beginning, that I'm not an expert. I was just hoping someone could clarify because I literally check this forum twice a day hoping to see [ROM] at the beginning of a post and [CDMA] right next to it.
Thank you beforehand for any help or clarification!

easy answer
there's no real need of completely modded roms, and roms wich went out, are more optimization roms...
and... ics is on the way, think is a little useless, start thinking of making entire projects on gingerbread, knowing in a month we are going on a really different android version
True, true...but wasn't the ICS source/code already released? Or does it depend from device to device?
Looking for some guidance here. I rooted and Loki'ed my gf's VZ S4 with MDK build months ago when I also had an S4, I've since moved to a Moto X and it seems there's been a lot of changes with the builds around here. She wants here phone upgraded to Kit Kat now, and I'm having a really hard time finding how to do it. I've been searching around the forums and googling it, but I can't seem to find a way to take her to stock rooted 4.4.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I apologize if the answer is obvious or has been brought up multiple times (I know how annoying that gets), but its not coming up in my searches. Any guidance would be extremely appreciated. I would be doing it on a Mac preferably, but I can get my hands on Windows if need be, so its not an issue.
Edit: Wow, I guess my brain isn't working right. Now I see 4.4 isn't out for the VZ S4 yet. Guess I'll continue my search until its released.

The official is rumored to be released by the end of this month/beginning of next month but here is a stock deodexed rooted rom of the kk leak that just came out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
and is specifically for those with mdk bootloaders.
Hey guys. It's been a while since I've poked around the Note 2 sub-forum. A year or so ago I picked up a pair of 2013 Moto X's for my wife and I to make my life a little easier. I had a note 2, she had a s3. Playing admin for two devices, and keeping up with their individual quirks was proving to take up too much of my time, so, we decided to stream line. I wouldn't say the Motos are better by any standard, but, making the switch has made my life easier.
Recently, we've decided to move. We started going through our drawers cleaning things out and found these devices and thought we should sell them. They're both bootloader unlocked, so, they can run the latest and greatest CM builds. The thing is though, I've pretty much forgot what I'm doing with them.
I don't want to odin the device back to 4.1 and re-unlock it all, but I do want to clean up the device so none of our information is on it before shipping it off to it's new owner.
Can anyone offer any advice on how to wipe on the Note 2? Any changes that I should be made aware of that's happened with the device in the last year or so? I was gonna flash the unofficial CM12 build with gapps but if there's any other recommendations I'd love to hear them.
Thanks in advance.
Okay.. So here goes..
Elephone s8 purchased 2 months ago.. I'm with you guys when I see the frustration all you guys have with this phone..
You may have noticed this morning that Elephone has released not such an update but a patch so to say.
I Really dont want nor trust this company.. Its an unofficial update that will probably be aload of rubbish anyway.
Now I have been looking at skeletons ROM on here.. is it good? do you still use it? Is there anything new since?
Im just fed up and hoping you guys can shed some light.. Im petrified on where to start to even flash my phone as ive read up about devices being'bricked'? but willing to just to get something that is sufficient.
I merely ask as you guys are the guys to ask.. The leaders IMO in everything android.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Eragon is already dead. Skeleton has abandoned the project so no updates has been made since his last one.
I have not tried it nor the custom rom that was released on Elephone forums.

I suggest just using AEROM. Aerom is better than stock and Eragon. Aerom will be updated soon. And aerom fixed lot of bugs.

Erikki123 man I hope you're right.
how do you know about the update? can you share a link?
we're really hoping for oreo here for more than a year
You can download the new rom here but I wouldn't recommend it:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-14242-1-1.html
I have tried all three roms but the stock rom worked best for me. Additionally I flashed twrp and installed supersu for root.
I don't expect any future updates for the AEROM. I think they brought this out as kind of compensation because there will be no android 8 for this device. For me it caused more problems than it solved but experiences may be different on this special phone.
Edit: link corrected
I have tried all three too, and for now I stick to Eragon anyway.
I have contacted Elephone and can confirm that S8 and P8 are officially "dead", indeed.
That's disappointing, mainly because Elephone had started a campaign a year ago (or so) and promised at least two years of support from then on.
But then I have known Elephone from their previous flagships, owning both M3 and P9000, so I'm not really surprised.
But then they did a MUCH better job at bugfixing with M3/P9000 than thay did with S8. At least P8 is running rather flawlessly.
Please also find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 at:

I hope this helps.
