Best stable rom?

Hey guys my girlfriend has been using this phone for about a year. She is finaly ready to have me root it and flash a smother rom than stock.
I was wondering what was the most stable rom out there.? She will not flash a bunch of roms or anything... Its more of a one time deal...
Sorry what's the smoothest stable rom?
Thanks guys!

Stock is the most functional, but if you're wanting a flash it and leave it kind of ROM, stick with CM7

Really depends. CM7 based are my favorite, but if you want BT calling, than rooted stock is the only way. Unless you wanna jump through hoops to downgrade your BB from the March BB. Assuming tthat's what your on. Ivetried tons of ROMs. CM9/10 based are not stable as a daily driver ROM. Eaglesblood and Hellfire v2.3 GB and taemsek build 135.1 are very good CM7 roms.
Its really dependant on what you need the phone to do.

I was just about to post this same question because my girls been running miui that I set up for her for like 4 months and wants something more stable.. I'm gonna try out hellfire for her... I'm not familiar with g2x whatsoever cuz I have a gs2 so I hope everything goes well.

I'm using the evo 4g lte so I don't know crap about this phone either lol
She just needs a stable rom.. Bluetooth calling does not matter because should never use it... So I'm guess I should go with a cm7 rom.. What the most stable one?
I would assume this pho e would have all kinds of stable stuff being as it's been out so long.. I am going to guess lg does not put out any drivers? I have never owned a lg phone so I'm only guessing.

Which Hellfire? If you want stability don't flash Hellfire Sandwhich. Flash Phenoix v.2.2/2.3 (2.3 is what I use the most as a daily driver, until build 135 nightly came along)
Than I would flash fauxs 050 kernel. I have some issues with 051 kernel.
Just my 2cents.

Two flavors of CM7 I love:
Hellfire Phenoix v2.3 w/ faux 050 kernel
OR
temasek build 135.1 w/Morfics Trinity Kernel

Gonna try hellfire 2.3 but I read somewhere you need the new baseband version??? I have no idea if she has that. Or is it included in the rom?

Goto Settings, About Phone, scroll down to baseband version, does it say in the number March 11, 2012, or a Date I believe Jul 15, 2011.
If you have March 2012, you will need to flash newbaseband.zip as well after you flash the ROM, it's simple.
Here is hotlink for newbaseband. It is not included in the ROM, most of them don't offer it but it's a simple flash n' fix.
Soo,
Do your full wipes,
Flash ROM
Flash Kernel (if not wanting CM7 stock)
Flash newbaseband.zip
flash gapps (if you'd like, I never do anymore cause I use a handful of G Apps.)
Reboot-enjoy!

Oh okay... Would it still work without the new bb?? Where can I find that zip??

If shes on the old baseband, there's no need fix anything, but if you flash a new rom, and get a clicking sound, check the general sticky section or my sig to get things sorted out.

Your good to flash either version on her baseband.

I'll try it out when I get off work.. Basically I was going to download the rom from rom manager because I didn't want to search through threads on her stock browser since she didn't have the xda app and I couldn't download the file on my computer and transfer to her phone because her rom wouldn't let her mount usb because miui sucks. So I downloaded the rom from rom manager then I was going to just boot into recovery and flash manually. But rom manager said there was no recovery and that I needed to install one so I let rom manager do that for me.. I downloaded the rom and then rebooted into recovery to flash I was surprised that the font was orange because it used to be blue on her phone. I noticed the cwm version and it was one I've never used or seen anyone use. So first thing I did was factory reset then wiped cache and dalvik. Now I took an extra step and formatted system because I do that on twrp on my gs2. So everything wiped and I go to install from sd card to locate the file to flash and all that's there is dcim and data... Nothing else. I though maybe because I formatted system?? I tried turning off the phone then getting back into recovery and it was the same... Nothing showing up on install from sd. Now I'm freaking out because I go to restore the nandroid from her original stock rom and nothings there either. I already wiped with no option to let me install anything now I don't know what to do. Was it that stupid recover I flashed that is unstable or was it because I formatted system?? I should of checked to see if her internal and external popped up in recovery on install from sd card but didn't think to do so cuz I never had that problem.... I'm ****ed.

Boom, there's your problem, do not use rom manager, you have to use nvflash to get recovery. Search for oneclicknvflasher to get cwm. You need a computer, and download the LG USB g2x drivers, use Google for that. You can never brick this phone.

Need a little help rooting. Instructions are not working.

Hello all,
So I just picked up a Galaxy Note 10.1 today and of course I went to root it. I found instructions on several sites and they are all the same, so I figured I would just do it. I went with the instructions at http://rootgalaxynote.com/ and here is the issue:
I copied the SU file to the internal storage and took the MicroSD out just to be sure.
I booted into the unit using the power+volume down and then hit the power up to continue.
Got the downloading screen and ran Odin. Selected the "highonandroid..." into PDA and hit start. It went through and showed it was successful/passed.
I rebooted and then held down the power+up volume until the logo appeared and then let go of the power but continued holding the power up button per the instructions.
Instead of going into CWM it goes into "Android system recovery <3e>" with a dead Android dude with the red exclamation point.
The unit still boots fine into Android, but when I repeated the above steps it shows:
Product Name: GT-N8013
Custom Binary Downloaded: Yes (4 counts) (yes, tried it 4 times to see if I was just doing something wrong)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Now I did buy this tablet used, so I don't know what the previous owner might have done, but it seems what I'm doing should work regardless.
I've been Googling and searching here for about 2 hours now and I can't find anything that talks about this issue or what I can do to fix it. Would love to get this back to ground zero with a factory image but I can't even find the N8013 image. I looked on the sammobile.com site or whatever and only see the N8010 which might not be the same.
So if there is anyone that can help, I sure would appreciate it!

The problem seemed to be installing CWM. All of the other websites missed one key step that I noticed slightly different on here. So to help others in my dilemma, I'll point it out here.
When you go to use Odin to install CWM, turn off the checkbox for auto-reboot. Then, instead of rebooting, hold down the power and volume up key until it reboots and you get the logo. Then release the power button but keep pressing the volume up key.
Doing this allowed me to get into CWM and flash the SU zip file.
Hope this helps others. I'm going to have to send Zedomax a note to update his video!

Glad you got it working..

Yes unless you boot into CWM immediately after installing ODIN the system will override the stock recovery

[Q] [Help]Attempting to Unroot Phone, Phone's Powercycling

Hello everyone. So today I tried to root my phone for the first time and all was fine. I could download and use apps that required root access. Then I tried to flash CM 10.1.3, and that's where things got messy. After I flashed, it was saying that unauthorized software was on my phone, and I had to go to verizon. I figured this was because my bootloader unlock didn't work. So I tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and now my phone's just powercycling. Any ideas? Yes, I am new to this, feel free to yell at me for being an idiot for forgetting some obvious thing.

I think you need to Odin back to a stock build and then repeat the entire process of rooting, unlocking, etc.
I could also be wrong, so we'll get yelled at together.

You'e right lol
@Elerock, does powercycling = stuck at the Verizon LTE splash screen or boot animation? If so, boot into recovery (hold power, home, and volume up) then do a factory reset. Root and unlock following these directions.

Boost ics stock rom?

Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?

Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..

A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work

I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant

Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.
I sent a pm to russellvone about the situation so when he responds he should already be good to go to help you out.

Lol this stuff is so confusing. I'm still a noob on this phone haha. I wish there was something like mobile odin for HTC devices

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!

Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)

[Q] Help with Rerooting galaxy s blaze 2.3.6

ok so i recently got my samsung galaxy s blaze 2.3.6 rooted after it was stuck on a soft brick. I guess i didnt root it right with odin i am using DarkKnight build 8 ROM with TFQ scorched kernel GB 1.0 and it didnt really feel like it was working right after a few days so i did a root checker and it said i didnt have it rooted but i could still get super user and other root apps from google play so i look some stuff up and i guess i rooted my phone from the SD card instead of the phone itself...can someone help me on how to fix this? i spent days upon days trying to root it the first time after i soft bricked it and i realized how hard it is to find stuff for my phone. im also still new to this whole "root" thing and i tried the blaze bible and i just got confused, and sorry i just realized i posted this on the wrong forum after i looked where i was putting it...

So you're on gingerbread, huh? That's unfortunate, a lot easier if you were ics.
First, it doesn't matter where the zip is, both storages work. Second, if I was you, I would find the official ics firmware and use Odin to flash it. Give me a bit and I'll find a post in here somewhere that lays out the steps to get your phone back up and running...
