I've been flashing my Samsung phones for several years so I don't have a problem with the process. But I've recently acquired the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2/SGH-I497 (data and wifi) and am disappointed to see that the tab is not supported by CM or any other custom roms.
If I flashed a rom created for a non-AT&T version of my tablet, what's going to go wrong? Would I simply need to change the APN back to the pre-flash settings... will it catch fire and explode in my hands.... or something in between?

You can't flash a ROM made for regular tab 2 coz At&t version got different processor (snapdragon) and hardwares so it's pretty much impossible that you can't get these ROMs working on your tab

Hey all, Im new here and have my first Android Phone
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317M from Bell but had it unlocked and am using Koodo now!
I rooted the phone last nite using Odin 307.zip & CF-Auto-Root-xxxxx-etc.zip
All went well
Question are there any better mods I can use on this phone, can any one suggest some good ones along with instructions on changing the ROM and restoring my setting, and apps afterwords?
A friend of mine is using a ROM that makes the phone act like a tablet, I would like the same for my phone if available, I think it is called Paranoid android
Thanks

As of right now i dont think paranoid has a release for the bell galaxy note 2 but im sure they will in time but if i were you i would try out AOKP first...i've found their roms rather amusing but as a pro racecar drive im biased towards performance...im not really a pro racer :good:
Is it possible to flash my galaxy note 1 with a galaxy note 2 rom?
If it is, I am using At&t as a carrier would I need the AT&T rom for galaxy note 2 to flash with?
I have always felt that these smart phone upgrades are just a simple rom uprade. For example Galaxy note 1 is the exact same thing as a galaxy note 2 with a upgraded rom.
No, you can't. It will possibly brick your device. Check out roms for Note 1 i'm sure there will be good ones.

Simply flashing the Note II ROM to Note I is not possible for sure, and it won't work or boot as there are changes in hardware and kernel. You'll need to port (Porting means changing the desired files in the Original ROM for making the Target ROM) the ROM to Note I for it to work. Search for 'Porting Guides' for understanding the procedures and I guess you could do it, but not sure though.
Okay, I thought it might work. It was just a theory and scratch I had to itch. Good thing I asked the pros first.
Thank you for the quick replies.
I am currently using Jelly Bam and thought I would try something different.

Hello,
Is it possible to use the Galaxy Note N7000 version of the Cyanogenmod for ZTE Blade Q Maxi?
Hardware-wise, the only difference I could see is that the Note has a Cortex A9 and the ZTE has a Cortez A7.
I'm assuming that resolution, screen and camera sizes are irrelevant.
I have rooted the phone and have made a back-up of the current firmware to the card (which is Orange bloatware weighing a massive 1.1GB).
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's impossible, why don't you search for a custom rom and kernel that are built specially for your device?

yeah they are still very different phones, same with OEM, Samsung is not ZTE they have different bootloaders and such and would brick your phone if you flashed that.

Damn...I thought it was just like on the PC
@Ferris Cruiser : As far as custom ROMs for it go, there aren't any at the moment.
Stock Android 4.2.2 has about 450MB. The back-up made with CWM to the zip card is...drum-roll please...1.5GB, because Orange bloatware. I didn't install any apps except something to root it and CWM.
Can I just flash stock Android 4.2.2 on it? I mean, the Google Nexus 4 ROM. Or would that brick it too?
I'm searching for something, anything, any Android version that might work for it because in the Orange branded version you don't have :
Options for calls/keyboard/home-screens etc. It's very very limited.

flashing any rom that is not ment for your phone will brick it, this goes for almost every devices. there are a few phones suck as the (t-mobile)T989 Galaxy s2 and skyrocket galaxy s2 (at&t) are able to flash each others roms with a mod i think, i have yet to try to flash one of their roms. it looks like your phone has almost about stock android, with a new keyboard or a new launcher. got a perfect status bar already. other than that it should look like a nexus 4.

I understand now, thank you very much for your help.
I've done some late-late-night research and was unable to even install Clockwork Mod on it, it still has the basic Android system recover (3e) from Orange.
I will keep on searching for a way to install recovery on it and flash it. The phone is good, the firmware ruins it.
So thank you all once again for your help.
Love&Peace!
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime G610M is there any roms iam thinking about buying this phone..
Just bought this phone will be here in 1 to 3 Business days.. i know theres a recovery for this phone but hasnt been updated in awhile and i think theres bugs from what i last read about it.. i havent seen any roms online for it either. When i had the unlocked at&t note 2 i switched to tmobile. The dev of one of the roms made their rom all varient rom so i was able to flash it on my note 2 and use tmobile network.. i wonder if that same thing could be applied for this unlocked j7 prime.
unfortunately the phone has become so popular in some countries, but not for the devs
Im sure in time there will be roms, all youd need is the stock firmware and superRs kitchen and could whip up a custom stock rom. Im going to be using Simple Mobile as my carrier which is powered by tmobile kinda like how virgin mobile and boost mobile are powered off sprint. This is simple mobile if youve never heard of it.

There's actually a few but most of the more popular (lineage , Ressrection remix) are basically non-existent for J7 Prime (I'm on sm-g610f/SD)
I think that's the problem with phones that's basically too new or lesser used...
There's a doomsday ROM, which is basically a debloated stock ROM.
