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.
Hello xda. My friend recently ordered an one s and he asked me to make his phone good. I'm from another forum(u8800pro) and i post ROMs there so i don't have the time to work on this phone and I'm asking you here.
1)Is there any 4.2 ROM? If so is it stable?
2)In case he wants 4.1.x what's the best option for a guy that knows NOTHING about android?
3)Which is the best kernel for 4.1.x?
4)Which is the most stable ROM for daily use and hard gaming anyway?
5)How to root it?
6)Which recoveries are available for this phone?
7)What is the ROM flashing method for this phone and what is hboot?
8)What is needed to flash a ROM on the phone exactly as it comes out of the box?
Any help is appreciated because the phone will arrive in 2-3 days.
-UPDATE its an S4
Thanks in advance!

To answer any of this you first need to know if it's a S3 or S4.
Because this determines which ROMs or recoverys you can flash.

CM10 would be your best bet then and you will need to fastboot the boot.img and TWRP is the best recovery to use.

I'll never understand the deal with CM.
Personally I dont like it at all. There seems to always be at least one important feature not working properly.
I go against the stream and say, if hes not used to android I think rooted stock with maybe a different kernel would be more than enough for him.
The only downside with stock rom is that it lacks features for the more advanced users (like the majority on this site ).
Other than that the stock is actually pretty damn good.
Its by far the best stock rom Ive encountered, but this is my first HTC device though (unless you count my old QTek 9100 )

For me Sense is over the top but I do kinder like it.
Can anyone help me? Please!
I've been researching bout Rooting and Custom Roms for months and I've rooted my phone successfully just last week and been enjoying it BUT I'm really obsessed of having Custom Roms specifically MIUI V5!
And that's the problem, it seems my device don't support custom roms. Mybe its not compatible. I've been searching for CustomRoms for this Device for weeks and I dont even sleep sometimes cuz I really want to have that ROM yet I CANT FIND ANYTHING.
I've been trying to flash other roms like MIUIV5 for CherryMobile Flare or CM Skyfire 2.0 (cuz I think they're closely related) but no matter how many times I try to use the CWM Recovery, ROM Manager or TWRP, it still won't flash that ROM. Cuz maybe they're not compatible with this device.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?? PLEASE? CAN ANYONE MAKE MIUI ROM COMPATIBLE WITH MY DEVICE? I REALLY WANT TO HAVE THAT ROM!
Any help would be much appreciated!

HEY GUYS MIND ASKING , IF ANY OF YOU HAVE FOUND A CUSTOM ROM FOR SAMSUNG J100h ?? so far ,, after i awaited for 3 months ++(i took a nap) , i already manage TO ROOT , FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY and STOCK ROM for SAMSUNG J100h ... but now i need A CUSTOM ROM ,, thanks for the help ,,
I'm in exactly the same boat - J100H, rooted and custom recovery - and I've been waiting since July for a custom rom, but I've not found anything. One dev was going to try and get CM12 up and running, but he had to abandon the project because he had too much other work on. He's the only one I knew of who was even looking at it. Its a low spec phone and it has a funky chipset so I don't think any of the devs are that interested in it. You can always flash the Xposed Framework and then install some modules into that to make some customizations. I did, and that's probably as good as it's going to get for the time being.

Well If you do manage to port it, I'll test it for you! We aren't the only people looking for one, so you should have plenty of takers. I looked at porting it myself, but I haven't don it before and the different chipset really put me off. Was out of my league tbh.

Hi guys looking at getting the idol 3 5.5 just a couple of questions
Can someone tell me what the different model numbers are as far as I know there are 4 different variants of the idol 3
Also I'm looking to keep to a stock rom based rom which one is best to use or should I just root and stick to the stock rom anyways as all I really want to do is remove system apps I don't use and install viper4android lol
Thanks
Hello,
The problem is with the 5 models (6045I,6045Y,6045O,6045K,6045B they are 99% same, i think the diference is in kernel/radio/dual sim).
so there are lot of custom roms, but the problem is, that they are only builds by fans and not really a developers (except "Unjustified Dev" which is the only one real developer here so far). so they just build the rom and cannot do much about the problems. This ends in many builds (CM, PAC, LEWA... ) all are CM based builds, there are also a lot of kernels,. the problem is nobody really knows what are the diference.
For someone is kernel " x" working for someone not etc.
So thats the reason i am on stock.
I managed to find, that TCL i806 is alcatel idol3 (TCL is the owner company of Alcatel). So i get the stock firmware for i806 and made some mods. Its probably the nearest to stock firmware. The only problem is, that it includes kernel, thats 100% working with 6045Y. You can try to boot it on your own device, but for suer to flash (not boot) TWRP recovery, make full backup and also download the other kernels, so you can swap them in TWRP.
If all things go well we should have android Marshmallow start rolling out in june.

thanks for the reply well ive ordered it and its coming tomorrow its the 6045Y version so am i right in saying i should be able to just install your rom no problem and i dont need to install the different kernel
also what kernel are you using as ill properly use the same one lol
sorry one last question do i unlock my bootloader as well before root ect
thanks again for your help
6045Y is same model as mine. So unlock bootloader and then flash TWRP recovery, make backup, flash my rom. I allready included overclocked ARDE team kernel. If you have some problems (freezes, reboots) then probably your SoC isnt capable of holding the OC, then just launch the kernel adiutor and lower the frquencies.

thanks will do is your rom the latest version that alcatel has released (in other words should i be able to flash your rom from any version of stock thats on my phone) and great ill just flash your rom and happy days lol
does xposed work ok on the idol 3 and if so what version do we flash
again thanks for your help carnt wait till tomorrow now
i dont use xposed, but should work without problems (have tried months ago). and also download mobile uphrade q v. 5.0.6 (its also on my google drive). its the alcatel app to get you to stock if something goes wrong. Also in my unlock bootloader thread is a bat file which makes all partition backup of your phone.
