My wife wants me to root her phone and install a custom ROM that is issue free. She doesnt need the latest greatest but something super stable. I dont own an SG3, so I dont want to sit here and read forever just for one time. So any and all help is appreciated.

A stock based rom. Just so you know if you don't want to do the reading it takes to find a stable rom nobody will help you.
No I know. I have been around here for sometime now as you can see. But I was wondering if there was any hybrid ROMs out there what are somewhat updated, away from stock bases but still stable. There are ROMs out there that are stable that are well known across the board for the phone. Kinda the goto ROM
Also gotta check if ur wife has the 4.3 OTA. TW custom roms the most atable from wat i read. But if u want an AOSP type then i suggest a 4.3 type rom.. Thats saying if ur wife did not take the 4.3OTA

Well I would tell you to flash a stock based rom that has aosp theme and sounds because from my experience with any aosp rom is to unstable for my daily driver. But if your wife isn't as picky as me I think unofficial cyanogen mod 10.2 was stable.
My DD is/was liquidsmooth 2.37 or 2.10 both aosp 4.3 roms. From my experience

Hello All,
I am a total newbie to all of this, I just bought a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket. I managed to find good info on how to root it and did that with something called superoneclick. So it is showing rooted with out the yellow triangle. Now for my question.
There are so many custom roms out there i have no clue what to do. All i am really looking for is a custom rom that will let me do the following if it is possible, wifi tethering, custom bootanimation and if it will let me overclock. And I guess something that is stable as i see mentioned on here a lot.
Anyway anyone that has time to help a newbie I would really appreciate it. There is a lot of great info on here but most of it is written for people that at least have a clue about this stuff.
Most of all i want to say thank you to anyone who is willing to help me in advance. And if you don't feel like helping a newbie I do understand that also.
Thank You
I like skyROCKeteer. It's a good, stable, custom rom. It'll suit all your needs. Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19279400

First of all thank you for your reply. Am I reading this correct that I install version 2.0 and then install the addons and fixes? Or will everything be fine with the 2.0 and the fixes are already in there. Sorry to be so much trouble some of it is just confusing to me and I dont want to brick "i believe that is the correct term" my phone.
Thank You

SkyRocketeer and Sky Ice Cream Sandwich are pretty good. Next one I will be testing out will be the Red Sonja!
Red sonja is the best. Completly stable and fast. Vibrate does not work. But other then that its its perfect.
I'm using Super Stock 2.3.6. It's a rather bare bones ROM that is close to stock but with a few tweaks and removals of stuff like bloatware and other things. Overall I'm satisfied. I'm using this until the AOSP is released and some of the other ROMs become a bit more stable.
I'm using Sky Ice Cream Sandwich, it's my daily driver. Whichever rom you install, make sure you follow the dev's instructions. Only install roms for skyrocket, very important.
Most Roms in the Dev section are Stable-ish.
Red Sonja is probably the MOST stable in my OP.....less vibration, you dont have to do any work arounds, no extra flashing less the 4 intitial flashes( really 2 flashes if you dont want the comic pages)
but after that, everything is working as it would be on stock.
Thank You
First of all again thanks to everyone that gave me advise. I know have my first custom rom on my phone with the addons that looked interesting. Also a custom kernel.
I only have one question if i decide to try another rom, is there a way to go back to the way i have my phone now with out doing each step again. Like if i use the backup feature in CWM, If i do a restore will that put it back the way it is now.
Thank you ALL !!!!!

That's the point of doing the Nandroid backup. It'll restore your phone to how it was. At least that's what it's supposed to do. I honestly can't attest to it because I've never had to do it *knock on wood*

I got this phone recently and I'm experiencing some minor bugs and was wondering if it's worth it loading a custom mod to it.
It's currently running GB 2.3.3 stock
I have no experience at all doing anything regarding custom roms or kernels or whatever. Before I do anything with my phone I want to know the ups and downs to it and if it's worth it
The bugs I currently have are random reboots but this has only happened twice in about 5 days of use wifi calling sometimes gets a little *****y but it works (for this I had to get a older sim card TM 9073)
Is there a stable rom around that most g2x users are using ?

I don't mind Gb or ICS though I believe Gb would be the most stable
I only want my phone to be the most stable as possible with all it's features staying with 2.3.3+ I do a lot of gaming and run game emulators on it

Well if there was someone experienced kind enough to help me out through this process I would appreciate it a lot since I have no experience at all regarding this.
I do wish to know if there is a way to revert my G2X to its factory settings on the 2.3.3 in case I mess up etc
so.. everywhere I read says do this do that flash this and that... I can;t find anything detailed enough for someone who doesn't know what nvflash is or what it does or how to use rom manager etc

specifies 2.2.2 I have 2.3.3 where am I suposed to start just flash and if so how?
I'm a complete noob on the android platform I need more details than just use this and that.
sorry for the noobness but I just want to get the hang of this.

Links are in the YouTuber's description... after that search for those 2.3.3 threads and pick one!
follow the steps in this link... to flash the latest CM Rom...
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_G2x:_Full_Update_Guide
But i would recommend using a different method to root,
since you said you have never done any of this before
there are noob friendly ways to root such as the following link...
follow the directions in this link to root..
then just continue on the original CM link and start after the root section..
root here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
This phone is probaly one of the easiest phones to root and install cwm on, its 99.9% unbrickable and has tons of information in dev thread. Just take the time to read b4 you do anything, simple as that.

thanks to all , the links where helpful I got the cyanogen RC 7.2 working good so far only 1 issue when I want to install the telenav gps says its not available in my country I really need this thing working . Apart from that It's a lot easier than I thought now just need to figure the gps thing out.
What country are you trying TeleNav in? And does google maps not work for you?
I agree. I'd usually use Google Maps Navigation. Has helped me quite nicely.
I already got it fixed apparently it was a corrupted rom. re downloaded and re installed and everything working nicely atm testing Hellfire phoenix this thing is awesome
Hi guys what ROM do you like and why i have omega but i want something new thats good reliable and wont screw my phone up
I don't think this is posted in the right forum. There is no Omega ROM for the VZW SGS3
VZW SGSIII SynergyRom R60 w/Imoseyon's LeanKernel v0.5

My favorite right now is the official nightlies that CM team is pushing out for CM10. They are fairly stable and reliable as a daily driver. I am also a fan of ParanoidAndroid. Of course if you are not looking for a JellyBean Rom, then my favorite custom ICS Rom was Bean's Custom build (currently version 10), which worked flawlessly for me.
If you are a fan of MIUI, an official port has been made for the Galaxy SIII, but it is still in early alpha build and is does not carry the reliability as like the roms listed above.
Beans has worked flawlessly for me. Just make sure you do the proper wipes. I have run B2, B6 and currently on B9. All have been perfect with very minor issues if any.

Hey man, I see you are from London. That means that the international SGS3 forum would be able to give you a much better answer. This particular forum is focused on the dual core LTE variant of the SGS3 that is available in the USA.
You should verify, but I believe this is where you want to be.
not sure if you're in the right place but I'm currently on Synergy r64 and loving it. Stable and maintains all my favorite TW features
I'm rooted and unlocked, looking for people's opinion on which stock ROM is best, beans or Synergy. I know it's probably personal preference but if you have an opinion let me know.
Also, I noticed in the Synergy thread that to flash this you have to place it on your external sd card? Will it not work like the others by putting it on the internal and flashing it? I don't have an external sd card at the moment...

Running Paranoid Android 2.0 and it's damn good as well. Everything works so far that I need to run it as a daily. There's some bugs that need to be addressed but it's nothing major

Minus the volume complaint... I was running 8-23 and 8-27 without issue. However if you are truly in London then don't flash the wrong ROM. CM10 is still in early stages of development but it's super fast and stable already with minor bugs and some features aren't working just yet (NFC for example but that is minor).
The 8-27 nightly is a definite winner in my book for now... get.cm has all their downloads
Hi
Not sure where to post this. Want as much exposure as i can get for a fast fix.
Basically, I have tried two custom roms:
AOKP JB rom
Paranoid Android
I would have stuck with any of these, but the AOKP rom would switch from Loudspeaker to normal during a phonecall. And the Paranoid Android has too many bugs in it that I cant run it without getting annoyed with the force closes etc.
Im now looking for either:
A FULLY WORKING CUSTOM ROM
or
AN OFFICIAL HTC ONE V STOCK ROM
hope you can point me to the right direction?
Thanks,
Maybe you should post this in the one V specific forum? You'll get way better answers there.

The best way is to go forum of ur phone. Do a little bit of research in the threads and then install the custom rom of your choice!
You'll also get links of stock rom from the phone's forum...
Search ur phone on top right corner box.. And then see android development section!

Hate to tell you this but custom roms will always have bugs. This is why all roms are considered beta and some even alpha builds.
You have to remember this is a development site where developers try new things to see what breaks. This is not a roms site

Hey Guys, I have a GS4 so please don't hate because I am asking questions and not trying for myself.
So my friend has a Blaze and he is looking to root his phone and flash a custom ROM. He is a borderline Android / Apple fan and I am trying to convince him to stick to Android.
So once I get him rooted I will be looking for a ROM/Kernel combo.. He needs everything to be working... Camera and everything else.
AOSP would be nice but from the ROM pages it looks like some of them have issues were he would flip out.
What is your best opinions on ROM/KERNEL combos to get his Blaze running smoother then stock without compromise?
Thanks!

Not trying to be rude, but you want to steer him away from an iPhone with a budget android phone that's 40% of the cost? If you really want him to like/love android and keep him away from the 'evil' fruit that grows on trees, he should spend the same amount of money on the phone and get a GS4 or One.
That statement aside, since you are 'stuck' with the Blaze (not necessarily a bad thing) you should go for this rom as it has the storage swap so there isn't any app/camera storage/other storage issues to run into. It's very stable and I ran it for about 3 weeks. Kernel is included.
Yeah you are 100% right.. he is stuck in a contract till November.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The most stable roms I have run are Beastmode's slim bean, and the latest cm10 nightly. Both on blue lightning kernel x2.
I've run both ParanoidAndroid and Liquidsmooth both with LightningZap 3.7 (though there was some inner folder work that had to be done) and both have been extremely stable for me. I also use Adrenalin injection and NOS_INJECTOR and my Blaze flys!
