Do i need ics to upgrade to miui? And i know nothing bout kernels. I never touched them. Its original i think. So will it work if i just flash it normally without touching the kernels?

Seems like you need to do a lot of research before you're ready to do anything with your phone. I would start with going to your specific devices thread and read all the stickies, guides and info that you can get your hands on. Then you might be ready to start into your device.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to get you to realize what it takes to mod your device. And keep in mind that only you are responsible for your device, so understanding everything before you start is the best practice.

Where can I find a Backup ?

Hi there,
I received my Sensation a week ago and I rooted it + S Off.
I now that it avoids the warranty and I'd like to know If i had to go to TMobile or use my Warranty, how to put back the Stock Rom ? With Tmobile BootLogo etc.. ?
Thanks for help
By restoring your nandroid backup thru recovery! This is something you should have researched before even rooting your device. Suprised you didn't brick your device! Did you even create a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed a custom ROM?

Well you can flash the stock ruu...and if need be u can get s-on per same guide u got s-off...so i suggest u make that dev section ur best friend, all the threads and guides u need r there
Edit: oh yeah, as dude above said, u can also just restore the nand before u got root

I am also searching for a Kernel to Overclock my Attain, but no luck so far :/ Maybe i can Pay a Dev to make one?
I would say go ahead and root as to be ready for when they finally get around to developing the custom roms. And it also helps in reducing battery discharge.

The only custom rom I know of is GASMOD by genevodot. Other than that there's really nothing else

still no luck..
still searching for a custom rom for my attain.. rooted, but only in hope that a rom will come out soon. im not interested in the gasmod rom, there is still too many problems with it and the devs dont seem to want to apply any fixes.

Well the dev that made gasmod broke his attain so that will pretty much remain unfinished. All in all the attain is pretty much dead in terms of development activity and without a CWM recovery there's not much that can be be done. So don't hope for a custom rom lol. Even one member on the androidforums said he was gonna build a rom but that never saw the light of day. If you're familiar with theming then you can Atleast theme your attain to how you want it and add a few tweaks to the build.prop but that's about it.

Thank you for the help.. I got an ics theme using holo launcher.. Its pretty ok. I would feel better with a custom recovery and such but.. As it seems metro pcs isnt even selling my phone anymore so think im dead in the water... Thanks forbthe help though

Welcome to our happy, growing family!
Not to sound rude or anything, but you did notice the stock deodexed rom in the dev section? And the multiple deodexed roms currently available for the A2? So, yea, it has been done.. and can be done by anyone with the resourcefulness required.
In fact, just finished deodexing the stock framework files myself.. (i'm starting fresh from my wife's stock 2.3.6 )... so, yup.. you, too can do it.
P.S. The latest version of xUltimate actually let's you do it without connecting your phone via usb..
Feel free to PM me if you want some specifics of how i make it work..

Thnx a lot!! Yep, I know that is a CMW Backup deodexed, but like you, I wanna do it my self. And for the modded roms, I tried Supercharger for like a month, but my phone was to hot (literally, the CPU was working always at 50% load) and had to recharge the battery twice a day... so I decide back to stock rom and make some tweaks my self.
So, I'll give a try soon, if I need help, I'll be pm u

[Q] Galaxy S3 rom for Skyrocket or i727

hi...im new to xda but i really think you guys could help me with this...im kinda a newbie to this...but my question is can i download the s3 rom and flash it to my skyrocket...i have cwm and everything but i never downloaded or flashed a rom on my skyrocket yet...i really wanna noe if i can download the s3 rom n flash it to my skyrocket...thanx guys
if this is possible please link me to a download for it thnx
The rom's provided in the developer section are the only roms that are compatable with the Skyrocket or i727. I dont believe there are any mirror roms of the S3. There are roms with features from S3 though.
thank you...hopefully it will come out soon though...thats the only rom that seems to interest me unfortunately
Flashing an s3 rom on the skyrocket is a sure fire way to brick your phone. I recommend reading some of the stickies in the General section, which should have this answer among others.

It's a custom kernel that allows oc, uv, and bln. You should really read some more before doing any flashing.

Mohans drains battery faster from my experience. Even under clocked and under volted. If you don't care about bln, grab the other kernel.

I am running the non-mohan kernel on mine and wifes phone. It is the smoothest, best battery life, ICS I have ran. Like other wise men said, just read the post, download required software, and go! It is quite easy, even from an old farts' perspective.
BTW, would not hurt to make nandroid backup of current state before trying.
ODIN is your friend!
Cyanogenmod started doing nightly builds for the skyrocket, i'm running it right now. The lock screen tends to lock up for a few seconds, but otherwise a very stable build. No FCs so far.
okay my last question i think haha...can som1 tell me what do or tell me if these steps are right
after i flash super wipe i
-flash R1 make shure everything is ok and running
-flash r4 mohans kernal
-done??
its kinda confusing cuz he said after flashing r1 then u flash r3...does he mean r4
im such a newp:{

Yes after you flash R1 boot up wait like 10 minutes and flash R4. The R3 is just something he forgot to change. I am using this rom right now and I love it.

Want to upgrade but no computer atm

Hey guys.. I'm currently on 4.4.2 stock rooted with xposed and Franco and would like to upgrade to 4.4.3.
I don't have access to a computer at the moment... So what would be the easiest way or anyway for that matter to upgrade?
Sorry if this a noob question but I am not super android savvy to be honest. Any help would be amazing.
If there was a guide or something to follow for someone in my position....
Thanks for any help

you shouldnt do a single thing, nothing. not until you take some time to educate yourself first. if not, and you start messing around, youre gonna end up with a paperweight. seriously, im not being mean to you, im trying to be helpful. take some time, read about the basics, learn at least just what you need. start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527

Sorry it auto corrected. Yes you can flash a stick rooted rom. Such as the one from @bigxie that I linked but please try to heed @simms22 words. You always want to know what you are doing before you do it or you risk ending up with a paperweight. If you have this many questions flashing something new can wait until you are comfortable with what you are doing.
