[Q] [Help] ROM's for s5 mini - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
This morning I have rooted my s5 mini for the first time. I wanted to root my device because I don't like the TouchWiz-interface and wanted another ROM on my device. I've been looking for a ROM, but I don't find one. I don't understand why there are no ROM's for such a popular device. It's the first time I'm working with ROM's, so if you answser, please hold it a little bit noob-friendly .
Thanks,
JannesVD

There are no ROMs because the device is still new and it takes a while for devs to even reach an experimental stage for ROMs on such a new device.
Be patient as there should be some nightly ROMs coming out very soon

[XOOM2] Develop?

Hello everybody,
I'm new to android developing, I've been flashing roms since I got my nexus s 2 years ago,
did lots of rom updates for my friends ad stuff.
I really wanted to learn how to develop android roms, so I decided to follow the steps and compile my first
cm10.1 for my nexus s with the help of the cm wiki.
After some day learning the most I could out of linux bash and the process to compile a rom, I finally got a working rom.
Well, I have a xoom 2 too, so I thought, what if I could try to build a rom for it, I know it would be hard, but it would be good so I could learn more about developing.
I'd like to know if with the safestrap 3.1, the lastest we have now, if it's possible to compiled a rom for xoom2 (mine is mz607), if the safestrap would be able to rom another rom than the official one, because the little I used it, it was looking fully functional, but I didn't find answer of what is possible or not to do with it in the thread.
If you say so, I'm gonna do my best to develop one, specially now that I have free time for the next weeks,
if anyone can help me out, with any kind of help I would be glad.
Thanks a lot

[Q] Just rooted s4 mini i9190

Hey guys,
New to the forum bit have been reading on here for a while now.
As from the thread title, you can see I have an S4 mini 3g (i9190)
Well yesterday I finally got the guts to root my phone and it was successful, using your guide on xda (thanks a lot) but now I'm looking into installing CM on my phone.
The thing is I am a little bit afraid that I might screw up the whole thing.
What is the risk of bricking/breaking my phone when trying to install a custom ROM?
I found the guide on xda on installing CM on my phone here on xda, just concerned I screw up.
And I also would like to know if ROM manager is any good at loading ROMs or is it more risky?
Thanks a lot

Can I upgrade Alcatel Hero 2 to Lollipop?

I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

actually I need this rom.
My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.

Custom ROM for Nextbook NX007HD8G ?

Hi everyone
I got this nice tablet Efun Nextbook NX007HD8G that has Android 4.1.1 and I wanted to install a custom rom for it but I can't find anything here about this tablet, I have seen a very few threads about it and nothing about installing a custom rom into it.
I'm very beginner in these stuff so if you y'all can help me install a custom rom then I would really appreciate it.
I have this tablet (just got it yesterday. Have you had any feedback yet that hasn't been posted to this thread about the files you provided and the rooting process on this tablet? I'm hesitant to be the first one to try it. Is there a way to test this out prior to actually going through with it? Thank you.

Hey! sadly I'm still looking and still can't find any way to install a custom rom, I don't want to try anything so I won't break my tablet.
As for rooting, well I tried 360 Perm root which works on Samsung Galaxy J1 (2015) but it didn't work on this tablet however I found this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564609
And I'm not sure if it works 100% or not because I haven' tried it yet.
