Hi guys,
Coming from a Samsung galaxy S3 (lost phone ), I'm not all too familiar with the HTC, specifically the HTC Explorer. Just wondering what you guys recommend for a Custom ROM and a Recovery ROM
Recovery, I've used Clockwork and TeamWin.. is either better for PICO ?
For ROMs, in the past I've used Cyanogen Mod and liquid smooth.. neither did I like. Have used a couple others, but can't recall their names..
Is there a ROM that's close to being pure android (without all the bloat) ? or is there a particular favorite amongst the Explorer/PICO crowd ?
[EDIT] Can you use ODIN for HTC the same way I used it for Samsung S3 ?
Any suggestions would be super.
Thanks
I am using CM12.1 and it's awsom3.
EDIT: You cant use odin. for pico.

Hello !
I searched on Google and I didn't find anything concluent so I came to XDA to ask you this.
I downloaded the HTC Sensation kitchen to cook roms. Before I read all the tutorials about it, I just want to know if it is safe to atypical AOSP roms based on Cyanogen with framereswork.apk from Samsung or LG roms.
It may sound silly but I want to make new roms with new UIs because I don't really like the Sense UI , never did...
So what do you think about that ?
EDIT: My principal fear is to brick my sensation... but I can always revert this no ? Via Fastboot USB or some other software no ? ( Like what i did when i bricked my old X10 )
You won't brick it by swapping the framework-res.apk if you do. It might just not boot up.
Okay so I'd still be able to boot into bootloader and recovery and restore my last working rom ?
In fact I would like to know if it's possible to use another framework-res.apk with every AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod or Virtuous Quattro ( cuz I'm pretty sure My sensation won't boot if I put a Touchwizz based framework-res.apk into a Sense Rom but I don't know if it would work in AOSP Roms ).
Voila ! thanks for your help.
Hey guys, sorry but I cannot seem to find any information on this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, i9100, and I want to root it.
The problem I am having is that I am a [noob] yes I admitted it, but I cannot seem to find the ROM for my device.
I attached a screenshot of my device's about section.
Now I know that the steps are to use ODIN, and then download a CF root, but I can't seem to find my ROM. I am from an island called Trinidad & Tobago (Caribbean) and I have updated my device to ICS.
Can anyone please explain to me, what the hell do I have to do to root this device? I want to install a custom rom, if anyone can vouch for a nice smooth rom that looks great!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Now if u want to install a custom rom install first a custom kernel for samsung ics 4.0.3 (not aokp aosp) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702166 and after install rom. U can do this using the temporary cwm u downloaded before. Is the safest way this because custom kernels had injected cwm and not using temporary cwm. Read well the instructions of the developer before installing , also check before installing a custom rom if it has a safe kernel because excists a brick bug at samsung roms 4.0.4 and +.
i've a rooted samsung galaxy fit GT-S5670 device on which i recently flashed some custom stock rom like Jana. But it made my device slow so i moved on to other Stock rom.
I've heard a lot about Cyanogenmod based rom and wanted to flash one of them, but i read somewhere on xda that Cyanogem mode are not compatible with some SIM and eats a lot of RAM.
I'm confused now and want to know the fact about it. Please suggest me some good stable and fast CyanogenMod for my G-fit with the links.
Any other tip you may want to give me.
Thanks,
Official latest (simple & fast) Cyanogenmod7's can be downloaded from this link:
S5670 Cyanogenmod7 Official
Tip: U need to flash Google apps separately as these roms doesn't have g-apps.
Hope this helps...!!

Cm 7 is one of the fastest ROMs available for galaxy fit, cm 9 & 10 are battery draining and a bit slow, cm 11 (currently in alpha stage) is fast and I get very good battery backup with it :good: you can initially go for cm 7 since its bug free, has everything working and supports everything (i mean swap, sd-ext mount etc), creeds ROM 4 is also a decent rom, its fast and has inbuilt governer upto 806 Mhz but after installing loads of apps, it becomes a bit laggy...
Hello All,
So I just had my Samsung SII plus (with NFC) rooted and find 2 recoveries installed CWM and TWRP, How can I safely remove CWM so I can have a smooth Flashing to a custom ROM?
I also find my self confused with acronymous used by TWRP but there is no description of it, can somebody tell me what is s2ve and s2vep, and which is better for my phone? I think the one installed is s2ve, how to exactly detrmine that?
Speaking of custom ROMs, is it better to choose Kitkat over lollipop as it's more stable ?
thanks.
Hello all and good morning!
I am fairly new to custom ROM installing and cannot find any info (updated) on installing a custom ROM to my SGH-T599 device!!!:crying: I could really use some help as the stock ROM for this "Galaxy 3 mini" knockoffs stock ROM is horrible.
I do have ODIN installed (v3.10.6) but am lost as how to begin to use it.
Here are some questions I have:
-How to download custom ROM?
-Is a backup already on my phone?
-Which ROM is best? (and compatible)
Thanks in advance for any help
EDIT: If i could just have an app or program to completely change the UI of my phone that would work too
