Hi,
I was using SGS I 9000 and with the official 2.3.3 DDJV6 version which is very very slow. After that i have tried so many leaked firmwares but unfortunately none of them works well for me..none of them are stable & bugfree.
Right now i am using DDJV9 with voodoo lagfix. This is also not running effeciently..phone gots very very hot upto 55C.
Kindly help me reviving my sgs experince. Please kindly also share the link also for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.
No roms not even OEM roms are free of bugs mate, try flashing some other custom roms until u find the one that suits ur needs.
I agree none of them is bug free. But Whichever leaked firmware i have used is not not even stable. I just want stable & fast firmware.
People kindly help.

No one will be able to tell you what will run well on your device with your set up. Try roms out till you rind one that works for you. Each device is different and so are the way we use them.
Try ROM Mintberry, link to post

Thanks..
Right now i am little confused. Till now i have only checked the different firmwares not tried any ROM.
Are firmware and ROM are 2 different things or same? Sorry if it is too basic..
Firmware and ROM are sort of intertwined. The firmware mostly relates to the underlying infrastructure that the ROM depends upon. Things like the kernel and radio. The ROM is the actual implementation of the OS. When you flash new firmware, you also get a new ROM along with it.
Some custom ROMs, such as Darky's ROM, are very closely related to the stock ROM, and have mostly performance and cosmetic changes. Other ROMs such as Mintberry MIUI and Onecosmic are quite significantly different from any of the stock ROMs.
They also depend on particular parts of the stock firmware. Onecosmic and MIUI both require gingerbread bootloaders to have been previously installed from a stock firmware package.
If you want my two cents on what to use, I am currently using Onecosmic RC2.11 (waiting for the phone to charge to full, then going to install RC3) and it is excellent. It is based on Ice Cream Sandwich, it runs quickly, and it looks beautiful.
There is a link to the XDA thread here.

I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.
Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!
Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always
Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl
Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.
+1 for Endymion 3.4,
+1 for Endymion
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
+1 Endymion
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
edymion, will try it

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.
Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..

1)Is there any 4.2 ROM? If so is it stable?
2)In case he wants 4.1.x what's the best option for a guy that knows NOTHING about android?
3)Which is the best kernel for 4.1.x?
4)Which is the most stable ROM for daily use and hard gaming anyway?
5)How to root it?
6)Which recoveries are available for this phone?
7)What is the ROM flashing method for this phone and what is hboot?
8)What is needed to flash a ROM on the phone exactly as it comes out of the box?
Any help is appreciated because the phone will arrive in 2-3 days.
-UPDATE its an S4
Thanks in advance!

To answer any of this you first need to know if it's a S3 or S4.
Because this determines which ROMs or recoverys you can flash.

CM10 would be your best bet then and you will need to fastboot the boot.img and TWRP is the best recovery to use.

I'll never understand the deal with CM.
Personally I dont like it at all. There seems to always be at least one important feature not working properly.
I go against the stream and say, if hes not used to android I think rooted stock with maybe a different kernel would be more than enough for him.
The only downside with stock rom is that it lacks features for the more advanced users (like the majority on this site ).
Other than that the stock is actually pretty damn good.
Its by far the best stock rom Ive encountered, but this is my first HTC device though (unless you count my old QTek 9100 )

FYI there is no such thing as a good ROM for overclocking as it is the kernel not the ROM that does the overclocking. All the kernels are in the original android development section and are on the first page of that section.

I am running Liquidsmooth's RC1. They are releasing their update soon,
Does anyone have a favorite TW based ROM? I am looking for one based on 4.2. I also heard the international 4.2.1 has been leaded. Has anyone tried creating a ROM based on this release? The TW ROMs just look nices than the AOSP despite all the unnecessary features that are loaded.
The international version of the s 3 has different hardware then the US versions making the leak difficult to port. Also there isn't any TW 4.2 ROMs for this phone as Samsung is working on 4.1.2. Lastly we at XDA have realized that what works for one person doesn't work for others so it is best to check out the ROMs yourself and see what works best for YOU.
Hi, I'm kinda new here, bought the tablet only few days ago and didn't play with it too much,
Have updated to the latest official version (4.1.2) and rooted.
I'm on N8013.
I saw the half-way leaked version of the kitkat on the general post but it says no word if it fits for anything else but N8000.
I don't really care for Kitkat but 4.1.2 is too old..
Any stable release / ROM with TW for a newer version? (I prefer stock)
kinda hard to tell since most of the posts are from 2012 and I have never been to any of them.. you probably know better than I do.
Thanks !
The leaked rom works fine on my N8013, I didn't even have to wipe out my device, kept all my apps from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2. Unfortunately, there is no other versions of Samsung's rom between 4.1.2 and 4.4.2. If you really want to upgrade, I think the leaked rom works fine. As long as you have made a backup in some recovery, you shouldn't have much to worry about.

The leaked KitKat verion is for testing purpose only, many features disabled.
Stock or close to stock ROM is available, ARHD is the one.
I'm using ARHD for years now & it's very stable.
Read carefully & understand everything on the ARHD thread before doing anything.

All the features work. You can flash a deodexed rom, install some mods, and you are good to go
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-P905 met Tapatalk
Hmm ARHD = revolution?
If so it is also 4.1 so it ain't worth switching. ?
If not please link me..
And about the leaked 4.4.. what do you mean not all features are enabled?
Could you say which? And deodexed run over the disability? Is it stable enough?
I really have no time and effort to fight with mess and bugs..
Thank you for your tips

ARHD = Android Revolution HD
ARHD is the best close to stock 4.1.2 ROM I've ever use. (I have HTC Sensation & GT-N8000 all using ARHD)
Right now there is no Stock KitKat for N8000/8013/8010/8020
All you can get is LEAKED version of KitKat which is only for TESTING purpose, so don't expect to get all features working.
Some "testers" said they get all features working, some said WiFi is not working.
I will not recommend you to flash it, at least wait for official release.
Official KitKat release may be very different / may have features not in the Leaked TEST ROM
[GT-N8000][Leaked firmware] N8000XXUDND5 (Android 4.4) - Open Europe (OXA) [26-04-14]
NOTE:
Mike, the ARHD chef, said he will cook KitKat ROM as soon as the official release out on the net
Lord Boeffla also said that he will make KitKat version of Boeffla Kernel as soon as the official release is there.

Please tell us your ability and experience flashing roms? Using cwm/ twrp recovery. Do you know and understand adb? Have you ever flashed a device and know how to backup before doing so?
The above efforts MUST be something you need to understand Before you Flash anything.
The note tablet is to expensive to go flashing without knowing how to get back and recover if you have issues.
With the above said.. The issue with the stock 8000 rom and the leak is Bootloader . Changes your tablet info to look likes its a 8000 instead of 8xxx . In the past when the Stock firmware for your device is released you have been able to get back to the correct version for your device. BUT WELL BUT We or nobody can tell you for sure..
Again read read and think . Most important read the threads and post from people who have went back to 4.1 stock for there Device.
I know my post may sound Confusing. If so DO NOT FLASH your device.IF you know all of this already Sorry for the post. Just dont wanna see a help I'M

I understand..
For me with the Note 10.1 and even my note 2 phone. I bought it for the s-pen capability. For me i have tried many roms and yes each has there own advantages. Not saying nothing bad about any of them. As i have took some small pieces from some Like frame work changes for my Slightly modified Stock. But I still think for the Note line .. Stock is the best solution for those who bought it for the s-pen and muli window Real work able tablet i think Stock or VERY Near is Best.
The Developers on the note devices have much more to deal with then many others due to the S-pen features and they are awesome at it .

I actually reflashed the stock kitkat version linked by some 1 here..
It seems to be more stable and has the default stock tw apps.. I actually prefer the old s note app over the new one so now I have both..
Also got back the defalt samaung keyboard which has the ability to handwriting recognation.. Gnabo didnt have it..
