Hello, guys.
I just got a side kick 4g. I always wanted this phone since my early teens but I got it ! Anyways, I have a very outdated version of Android; can't seem to login to the old Android Market to update apps. I'm looking for a decent rom that do at least what's app and wechat. I already rooted the phone but do I need to install recovery just in case?
Can anyone recommend me a good rom? Thanks.

I want the exact same thing , I also always wanted that phone and I'm also lookking for a decent rom
Maybe we can help each other out?
Mij email is [email protected]
All I want is for whatsapp to work but then I have to upgrade the firmware but the phone is so old there are no updates annymore.
I also need to upgrade the android version in order for whatsapp to work
I have whatsapp installed but cant seem to get past the number verification
The phone wont connect or send the sms, same as yours
I dont even know how to flash a custom rom , they really need to help us out.
Flash the phone for what ?
They need to provide us with the right programs and working links and maybe even develop a custom firmware for the phone and make it easy to make this phone working properly.
Thats what they are for.
To develop and provide

hi Experts,
i tried to find the answer from the forum, took me hours but no answer.That is why I am posting this thread.I want to root my HTC G1.But I don't want to use custom roms.On iphone when I jailbreaked my phone i did not go for another rom ,i used the same that came with it.My question is if I root my android device ,do I really need to install a new rom or I can use the same that came with it but will gain some power of having root.
sincerely,
ml
You don't need to but why not use a rom that has more features than stock.
Thanks for reply.I want to but afraid of make the device too slow.i can still remember when I upgraded ios 3.0.2 to ios4 on my iphone ,it was quiet annoying to use.I just want to root to move my apps to the sd card.
Installing a custom rom, normally, doesn't make your phone goes slow... but it gives it a HUGE boost and add features!!! And Android is not Ios 4...

Thanks now I think there is no way to turn back.Can you or any one please tell me which rom I will go for.Cause My Htc G1 is not T-Mobile version ,it is from Rogers.i know there are a lot of thread about it ,I just need to focus on that rom which is the most stable and will work all functionality of the phone.
Hi,
I have a tmobile g1. Got it as a gift long time ago from my uncle who is in China. It has a ROM installed, by dev's HiAPK.com.
There is a english language in it, but the market comes in chinese, so do other things like gmail and gtalk. It also lags and sometimes doesnt even work properly anymore. I want to upgrade it to 1.6 platform. Does anyone know how to do it? I want to do it to the US or UK android ROMs, not the chinese ones... I tried rooting the OTA 1.6 rom, but it wouldnt work. It says bad rom, or says verification/no signature. Can anyone help me? Would really appreciate it.
any luck with this mate?
Hi Guys.
I've flashed my Galaxy S2 with ICS Resurrection 1.0 ROM and realized that it is not exactly what I was looking for.
I have multiple problems with the phone - sometimes I need to reboot it few times every day as it is loosing 3g, no gps, apps force to close..
I'd love to go back to factory UK Generic Gingerbread Stock ROM. I didn't take a note of the original ROM that was there before.
There is loadz of ROMs available for download and I don't want to brick it...
Is there any way how I can actually identify which ROM is right for my phone?
By IMEI, SSN...?
Thanks a million for your help!
I've had problems with Simplistic ROM too (Email, Exchange Services and Messaging apps keep crashing), and I can't even post in the thread until I get 10 posts lol!
Think you may have to keep with stock but go for ICS, not sure if it's possible to go back to Gingerbread?

Hi there!
I'm sure I can go back to Gingerbread. The only thing is that I'm not sure about the firmware. Will any generic UK S2 ROM do the job or maybe it has to meet some hardware revision requirements?
I take notice that there is little support for the U.S. version of the Galaxy Player 3.6. in the way of custom roms and whatnot. I have manged to root mine and remove all the bs apps. I am looking to install clockworkmod to the device and have not been sucessful in finding a way to do so. Are there any suggestions someone may have? I am willing to use my device experimentally for testing if necessary.
i think this can help

I cannot provide enough thanks, you guys are awesome. I flashed the mod and it worked flawlessly. The only concern I have is now I have no wifi, I know there is something else I need to modify when kernels are changed, but I cannot remember what.
Does anyone here still have this phone? only for curiosity
I just noticed that I enter the low activity device group
It's really a shame ... it's not a good phone, a newer rom would make it explode
See Ya!
Yes me I have one. I search in the net to find a debloat rom to go in. Can't find anyone even in XDA! It's a sm-g386w but if if found a ROM for sm-g386t I'll try...
Yep I still have my GT-18262 and I use it for experimental stuff only though but it was my first samsung phone...

I got it in my pocket in this very moment. (It's
a core G-386W. More or less a late model with better parts. 0.5gb of more RAM iirc
Really run smoothly in most conditions. Still love it. Only replaced it with a LG V20 (not letting go of that removable battery) for OS reason.
I still have mine works great for me I just wished I could update it so I can get some newer aps so at least I could connect my smart watch with it. the only thing I did was years ago installed rooted it and installed kitkat ( I think it was back in 2014) other then that haven't done anything but bought a new battery

I really need to root and instal a custom ROM on mine. My other driver is degoogled but google still tracks it trought the core. You know any decent ROM for it?

Does Wi-Fi and cellular networks work? I installed CM12.1 on mine, everything works perfectly, except the Wi-Fi and calls/sms
I know I am almost 2 years late to the party but I will leave this for those who are willing to dive into the rabbit hole. I managed to build a "functional" lineage18.1 for the SM-g386W Afyonltecan and I am willing to share it as well as the source so that hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will take the lead or help to fix the bugs so that we can enjoy this piece of history for few more years. Don't get me wrong, it is far from perfect and so far only worked on my device. I also successfully build lineage 16.0 and twrp 3.7.0 but they are too buggy to be useful as is.
