Android 4.4.2 (German/3 Version) originally a Telstra branded phone
BASEBAND:19505XXUGNF6
BUILD: KOT49H.I9505XXUGNF6
Unrooted
I have been having reboot issues, not sure why. I also want to put a better ROM on hopefully, but I seem to be at the best one for my device.
I have switched batteries (to a new samsung OEM one) and having reboot issues, but these didnt begin until about a week after, so it may not be the battery, I was thinking something in the OS is stuffed, or some app is causing it, wiping it's a pain - but I figured if I did, I'd try a new rom out.
So for any of you people running GTi-9505's - what ROM should I put on to update my 4.4.2 German/3 ROM,
Also, could the battery cause the reboot.. I can't replace back to the old one until a few days when I go interstate back home,
Just really annoying, seems to happen during times of higher use (ie; GPS + Spotify via Bluetooth will cause it almost for sure)
Thanks for any advice, seems hard to find a nice ROM out there without going outside the ODIN method of just upgrading the PDA.
Hi,
You have a dedicated forum for that device, so you must start ask/read there for more relevant answers:

since i am not yet allowed to post in the developer section of the xda-developers forum, i wanted to ask my question here. since one of the first builds of cyanogenmod for the galaxy ace appeared, i had installed it.
the installation went fine, but seeing as though the proximity meter did not work, wifi had some problems, and multiple apps were randomly crashing from time to time, i was forced to fall back to the stock android.
since then a couple of new nightlies came out for this phone (one of them is rather recently released). the official thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521 .
what i wanted to ask is if there is anyone out there that tried the latest nightly build, to confirm the problems i named above are all solved.
the second question i had is, if i have a galaxy ace with baseband version xwks2, can i just flash a rom with baseband ks9 on it for example?
any help would be greatly appreciated, and i would like to apologise i could not leave a comment in an existing thread.
go to cwr and wipe date, wipe cache again, it's may have some wrong when you install this rom ?
but i think cm7 on galaxy ace is not work well, you can try myth, i thinks it's best rom for galaxy ace
sorry for my bad Eng
will do
thanks a lot there nicknayemclone ,
i have alreadyy tried wiping the cache and dalvik and everything, but the problem keeps occuring. the annoying thing is, if i use the stock android i also have slight lags(same thing when i just bought it). i have heard about myth, but i would like my rom to be as close to vanilla android 2.3 as i can get . myth seems like its to hard on my phone to run as smooth as cyanogenmod

Moving to Q&A
I have been trying out a few ROMs, and come across one I am really fond of despite the few things I like that are missing, one of these things though is the fact the Phone Off Battery Charging Animation was replaced with a Static Image.. so I can't even tell what Percentage it's on or if it's charging at all or when it is full.. I like to turn my phone off and charge it but this makes it a problem..
I'm running BrokenOS 1.4 (Official 4.4.4) on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 . I'm also running this Kernel if that matters any. (Which also leads to a 2nd question)
My 2nd question , is that I was wondering if there is any way to disable the boot image applied by the Kernel? I love the Kernel and all but I really like the Stock Boot Image.
Attached below is the picture of the Powered Off Screen Battery, it really urks me as it just looks like a fat cigarette..

In your device specific forum, there is already a thread about changing the boot animation: Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] .qmp boot animation.
As I don't have your device, best is to ask your questions in the Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

I know how to change the boot animation,that's already been tweaked to my preference. The Kernel overrides the boot image however which is why I've asked for help. I'll check out the Q&A Place, thanks. Anything on my battery charging animation (powered off) though?

On some Samsung devices, the battery charging animation is related to the recovery.
So flashing another (stock) recovery may change this animation.
But better ask in your device specific Q&A forum.

Thank you !

Hey Guys,
So I recently got a S4 which I immediatly rooted from stock 4.4.4 . I flashed CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 via odin and booted into recovery where i made a nandroid backup of the stock TouchWiz. Wiped the Cache and did a factory reset. I made sure my battery was over 80 % and then flashed Gear CM 5.0.2. Everything went smooth and I booted into the new ROM just fine. I then Charged my phone to full and suddenly the battery disacharges insanely fast. 10 Percent down from 100 within the space of 10 minutes. It then eases out and discharges around 10-20 % per hour . this leaves me with 4 hours of use with only the occasional texting.
What i Have tried
Battery Calibration - No difference
Flashing Gear CM 4.4.4 for the GT i9500 - Still crazy discharge
Disable google play services using app ops - To Prevent WakeLocks
Flashing Stock Touchwiz back to the phone from the nandroid backup - Same discharge.
Multiple Factory Resets and Cache Wipes on all used ROMS - No change
After doing all of this I most likely assumed the battery was damaged. I inspected it and it still seems to be looking fine. No Bloating of any sorts. The battery in question is Genuine Samsung and so is the charger I Have been using. I have noticed that the battery is really heated up to the touch when on charge . Really at a loss with this one. I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 before running Cynogen Mod 11 and the battery lasted for days. Any Ideas?

Thread closed, thanks.
So I've looked around, and generally been trying to keep an eye out for any root options I may have for my device, and preferably that are confirmed to work. So far, I've come up empty, even to unconfirmed options. Apparently the tablet is still pretty new, so I was wondering where I might post to request someone, who knows far more on the topic than I do, to find a root option for the device.
Hi,
You question is already answered [Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T350 - Rooting and Stock Rom backup?.
Thread Closed.
Hi,
I red differents things in this forum and in some others and in fact, now, i absolutly don't know which choice will be the best? There is a lot of differents roms for nearly each kind of marks and tablets
For the moment it's like that: Galaxy tab 10.1 GT 7500, 3G, android 4.0.4, version modem XXLQ8. Root is, Odin, CWM 5.xx and TWRP.
Tablet is quite slow with some bugs, sometimes internet is closing alone, internet pages blocked, etc...
I'ld like to change the ROM for "something" stabler and quicker if it's possible.
So, if you have this kind of solution, please let me know and explain me how to do this change.
THANKS.
