[Q] Nooby question about ROMs - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting and Androids. I couldn't find any information, so I came here for help. I have a rooted Samsung Transform.
1. Do I need to have a special ROM made for my device specifically? Or will any ROM work?
2. If so do you know of any ROMs for it?
Thanks for your time!

ROMs are made specifically for your device.

Alright, thanks! Do you (or anybody reading this) know if there are any ROMs for the Samsung Transform? I can't seem to find any...

I dont think there are goiong to be an ROMs for this device for a while, or maybe never. Its a mid ranged andriod phone so not that many people ( Compared to those with high end devices ) who are apart of XDA will get it. Also its only been out for a month or so. It just doesnt seem like there are going to be ROMs for this device currently

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing, was just hoping someone would say something different :/

There is none that I know of yet SDX is doing alot with transform. The samsung moment is very close to the transform and little john has just come out with 2.2.1 for yhe moment still has some bugs but will be working soon. I'm sure some one will be porting it soon as its done. also there is a very cool theme for the transform and some of moment things do work on it. I am getting 9.1 on linpack. Go to SDX!!!!

i rooted mine using intercept root.apk there are many places to download it if you want it
also i flashed custom recovery easily which i can use to flash a ton of roms like TransGinger and even unofficial versions of cyanogen mod

Help with root and rom

Ok guys so I hate this phone, I've never wanted to punt a phone up until now, It freezes, crashes, and is extremely annoying but I thought hey maybe if I root it and install a custom rom it make my experience with this phone much better since that's how it went with my G2. I know there are plenty of roms and root instructions out there I was wondering if could get some suggestions or recommendations.
So here is my question, rooting, I found this pretty neat one click roo for this phone, do you guys suggest it? Or is there a better way of doing it?
Second question, I've seen a rom for this phone called RAGE and that's it would you guys be able to suggest a great rom for this phone?
I've only ever rooted the G2 and used CM rom, so ima little new to the rootng world.
Thank you guys so much in advace!!

more info in attach image.
Hi, sad to say. There is no development carried out for your device, hence why you were unable to find any custom roms lurking around the internet. Judging by the year model of this device, it is fairly old and let me blast out all the sadness to you.
I highly doubt your device will receive any update.
Same with custom roms, but maybe some dev may get this phone? Idk why.
And may make a custom rom for it.
Sad to say friend, your device is far to outdated to receive ICS or JB or any new Android platform.
Time for you to upgrade if you wish to say in line within the platform standards.

ohh k thanks for the reply well is it not like that i can flash wid any android 2.3.4 custom firmware ? for ex, here are the list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196704, is that work ?
No that's not how it works.
If you flash another devices .IMG or ROM to your device it will brick it. Meaning it will no longer be usable.
Better explained, you can't install a Samsung firmware for your device. It won't work.

[Q] question about CWM from experienced person

Hi I have a question concerning getting CWM installed on my RCA 7 inch tablet (RTC6272W23). It is a ROCKCHIP based device (RK3066). itis on 4.2.2. I ffound something on this website, but being new to all this stuff I was not sure if this applied to my tablet or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102679. I was wondering if looks like it applied to mine or not? I only need to install CWM so I can make a complete backup of the stock ROM, I will not be using it for custom Roms. I am rooted. Thanks in advance.
Hello
Man not to be an ass or anything but everywhere I look on line all I see is how this website is so great, but I have ask questions on two different tablet on here, and no one even replies. Hey got a lot of people looking at the question. I rate this site at minus 5 stars so far
It think it can be applied to your tab... Problems are ignorable and won't cause any disturbance..
To be on safer side make sure u have backups and stock rom available
