[Q] Help with Custom ROM

Hi,
I recently got a new Samsung vibrant T959 I unlocked it with help of XDA. After using, I found that battery life is very poor. So after some browsing, I found that custom ROM can increase battery life. And so i tried installing Azure custom ROM, after installing, my phone got stuck and didnt boot properly. So after so much hardwork I rebooted it back to stock using ODIn and T959 firmware. Let me also tell you I am a naive user. So i request the experienced ppl here to help me out.
My requirements is a good battery life and good graphics.
Please suggest the ROM and the steps that i can try out.
Modelnumber : SGH-T959.
Firmware: 2.1 Update1
Baseband version: T959UVJFD
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: Eclair
thanks in advance

I'm about to embark on the same endeavor. Does anyone have suggestions?

Try intall custom rom but b4 reboot do a fully whipe/factory rest. IF u still want your old spås and settings use titanium backupp. That works on x8

Unless the dev recommends a full wipe, usually for an update to the same rom you don't need to do a full wipe. Download new version to sd card. Backup your current rom (just in case). Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Flash new version and reboot. That's it.

Thanks for the info, update works without any issue.

Weird, you're the first I heard who has complains about Neatrom (did you try to install the lastest 6.8 version?)
Anyway, the process is the same for all custom roms, the only different is that philz recovery was updated from 6.7.9 to 6.14.5

i have tried with the philz 6.04.5 which u had suggested for me while in my inquiry for my phone.well shortly today i got frustrared and tried installing the neatrom v 5.7 for samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100 well it was a wooping big file almost 738 mb but that also installed as per ur instructions and read aurthor sale post on how to install but now the problem i am facing is after completely installing everything the first boot as per the neatrom v 5.7 aurthor should be around 10 min but for me it jus shows the neat rom animation screen again and again and the phone jus keeps getting hot from the back i cant seem to get into the main screen well looks like i m done for i guess
the steps i followed for the neat rom v 5.7 (4.1.2) instalation are
1-copied both the neat rom v 2.8(4.4.2) and v 5.7(4.1.2) zip files ,gapps (AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.2.1), philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip ,CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100,zip files to the sd card
2- flashed odin v 3.09 with file PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.9.tar,md5 and got philz recovery installed
3- then installed philz_touch_6.07.9-i9100,zip from sd card to update philz touch recovery to 6.04.5( it shows the 6.04.5 after updating)
4- the wiped system clean for new rom installation, wiped cache, wiped delvik cache form advanced settings, formatted /system &/preloads from mounts and storage
5- installed the neat rom v5.7 (4.1.2)and it installed everything
but at the first reboot it jus keeps flashing the neat rom circle animation and that it jus keeps flashing that again an again i waited for like 25 min on that screen and then felt the phone heaating up from the battery back side on my hand so i switched it off completely

Flash the lastest 6.14.4 from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100
and try again after wipe (you're doing anything as should).
Few questions:
Does Neatrom installation log mention any errors while installing?
Maybe you should try to disable neat's boot animation (possible as part of the aroma install)
Are you trying to install this version: http://goo.gl/qRDYgf ?
If still no go, describe your actions at aroma installer, or try asking at rom's thread, perhaps they'll better aswers.
BTW- does kitkat version work as should?

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S2 AOSP Keyboard not working

Dear All,
Sorry to ask some really basic questions. I am new to rooting and flashing. I have successfully rooted and flashed CM10 to a Galaxy tab2 and then recently decided to root by S2 which I no longer needed on a day to day basis.
I successfully rooted it and then flashed the stable version of CM10.1 to it, then.... got to clever for my own good and flashed a CM12.1 nightly to it and without checking the GAPP package that I had already downloaded....the wrong one!
I am now getting constant error messages when I boot it up saying that AOSP Android keyboard not working and to compound the problem when I flashed CM12.1 it installed Cyanogen Recovery which does not have an option to wipe the Dalvik Cache which I think is what is wrong.
Please be so kind as to point me to any threads that may help as I have searched in vain.
Many thanks
Doug

Hi
Here is a Gapps thread for CM12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
You have to do a clean flash of CM12.1. Do you have the i9100 model?
