If you want rock solid stability I suggest running blazer 4.1, which is gingerbread. But if ICS is what you want, you could run stock ff18. In addition, all of the custom ROMs based on ff18 should be more or less the same in terms of stability. Choose whichever one you like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
You could give Blu Kuban a try.

Also, give different modems a try but make sure she always updates her PRL & Profile after every modem flash, then give it time to settle in. If that one doesn't get her speeds up, try another using the same method above. Sometimes you have to try the whole lot before you find what works best in your area. Again, update PRL & Profile after every modem flash, don't just give it a few minutes or hours to prove its worth, give it a day or so then flash another if that one doesn't do well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Whats stable on here for one may not be for another. I use CM9 nightlies with no issues at all. Honestly if you want a rom for someone that does not care about flashing go GB throw a theme on it and let them enjoy life.

Anything else you will find yourself tinkering with it. although I am on the nightly from 6/21 and have not looked back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I'm a big fan of tFF18. I find it stable and nimble. Easy to work with and good theming.

Same here. I've been following the AOKP builds from when they were first brought here up till now.

CM 9

EDIT: No matter what ICS rom you choose, be VERY careful to read, understand and follow the installation instructions. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a very expensive brick. Also, check your MD5s.

-----------

I've been using CM 9 since v.A5, and I'm quite pleased with it. I can't say I've had stability problems with it, but the setup process can be tricky.

You have to get a GPS lock and update your Profile / PRL either right before upgrading or using their multiboot rom option (which worked perfectly for me).

Also, you need to remember to install the google apps separately, but I believe all AOSP roms have a similar requirement.

However, once you've passed these initial hurdles, the ROM runs great. I have no complaints and use it as my daily driver. I use Maps, 4G, Netflix, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and so on. My family teases me that whenever I'm not in front of a computer, I'm in front of my phone, so that should give you some insight on how thoroughly I use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Currently I have been using touch of sgsIII rom for about a week with no issues at all it has the voice talk and music player and messaging from the samsung galaxy s III and I am really liking the feel of this rom the only issue is that the sound effects are not working in the music player but I can personally deal with that til they find a fix other than that great work team rejects on this rom and I recommend it to anyone. But like said above one rom can work good for one and not another so give it a try and see how it works out for you.

Ok. Thanks for all your replies. I need to start downloading...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
I have four roms I rotate between, restoring and updating as new releases come out. I have had nothing but great experiences with all these, sans the occasional burp. Once I had them set up the way I like, all have been trouble free. If I had to pick the high points of each I would say Agat's rom is the best all around with great speed and battery life. Venum Ice has an original color scheme and lots of bells and whistles. M'ICS feels very similar to Ice to me but has a Cyan color theme. Blu Kuban is like a different animal in that it has an updater built in that lets you change tons of visual and functional settings.

Let me leave you with this... If I had to pick one of these and never flash again, my choice would prolly change any day you asked me. All are rock solid and well supported by great devs that are very active and responsive to their base. I can honestly say you can't go wrong with any of these.

Hi guys im new here, im reading a lot theses 2 days and just wanna ask is there any port of s3? Or a ROM with S3 apps?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
As the title says, if I want to change my actual rom (Gin2JellyBean+DoomKernel V14) its required to flash the original firmware (4.0.2.A.0.58 EnhancedV2) before to do it or I only need to flash the desired rom?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
First you flash back to the original stock rom (ftf) file by using Flashtool. Then you flash the desired or custom rom.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
I never flash the original firmware and never had problems, but I think the "EnhanchedV2" firmware is somewhat faster/better.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S34Qu4K3:
Why is required to do that?

Got it ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
Okay, maybe someone will know the answer to this.

Every single ICS rom I've tried... and I'm pretty sure that's all of them... has had abysmal performance playing flash video through a browser. I'm talking from

jt's original ICS... to

Entropy's ICS...to

uniporn

jblparisi's

remixICS

etc. etc.

Now, just to be clear... all of those ROMs that I mentioned I thoroughly enjoy... they had/have a lot of work put into them, and I thank the devs.

But this puzzles me... I had perfect flash video playback on a number of GB roms... notably AEON... now we move to ICS... and it's incapable of doing the same thing?

Also, whatever the problem is, it is some kind of common thread that runs through

every

ICS release for the infuse. I've tested. There is no example of this problem not being present.

Anyone have information, or a solution, or have noticed this problem themselves?

Thanks :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
I do agree with your statement.

I think this is due to the Wi-Fi and data speeds. Unlike GB ROMs, build.prop has not yet been extensively looked at in ICS ROMs. Network speed drops can be expected going from GB to ICS.

Again, this is just my opinion. Do not take my word for it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
You have a good point there, build.prop was not something that had occurred to me.

The only thing that makes me suspicious of that particular theory is...surely all the ICS roms can't have the same build.prop settings, right? So if it was coming from there, I guess I'd be expecting to see some roms performing better or worse than others... and yet when it comes to flash video, they are pretty consistently bad, with little variation.

Thanks for the idea though, I hope that you're right and that this is just something that can be fixed by build.prop rewrites.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
You do have adobe flash player installed right? Unlike gingerbread roms I don't know of an ics Rom that comes with flash player installed...when I had the infuse as soon as I installed flash player I never had a problem with flash videos...also I never had a problem with slower network speeds...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
Hehehe yeah I'm not that much of a fool =P

I tested everything I'm talking about with flash player installed. ICS can't deal with the video, it sticks and sputters like a broken faucet... super choppy, stops and starts... etc.

I can't testify 100% but I'm pretty sure that my data speeds on ICS are reduced as compared to GB roms.

With Wi-Fi, however, I think the speeds are comparable.

If this was happening on a PC, I could fix it. My first thought would be video driver issues, so I would remove all traces and then install the newest version.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple on Android... :(

I've read tons of discussions with Entropy and others talking about the video libs, and I remember that while the idea of "perfect smooth video" sounds like something that should be easy/simple to accomplish... it's actually a pretty deep rabbit hole. It seemed to me it's a fairly complex problem that draws on a lot of areas and takes a lot of work to get right.

I just wonder what this could be... what did GB have that ICS doesn't?

thanks for the reply, mg =)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Well...ics is aosp/aokp...so it is highly likely it could be missing some video libs and what not...off the top of ky head I know for a fact that gb has TWframeworks as well as many different libs...I have no infuse to test the choppy video so when I say i never expiernced it that is just based off my memory...basically what in getting at is that your theory is possible
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
Thanks! yeah, I'm no android expert, I'm just going by what makes sense to me.

Assuming just for a second that video libs were in fact the issue...I have a couple questions.

Is there anyone who would know how to identify the specific source of the problem?

Is there any more information I could somehow get/provide that might help?

Or is this just the kind of issue where... ICS is pretty new still, and in time it will probably be fixed? (wait & see)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Well logcats always help...those say exactly what your phone is doing and provide all errors your phone is receiving...from what I've seen, pony (the guy providing logcats for the miui build) is good with logcats...but he's busy with miui. I'm not even sure if you would find anything useful in the logcat anyway since it is somewhat working...I'm sure it will be fixed in time though :)

So if you know how to logcat then get one and see what it says...if not than just wait, I'm sure someone will end up working on a fix

to 2.3.6 and I went online to a forum to see what had changed. Many people were complaining about it especially me. Believe me they took away stuff rather then fixing it, for example wallpaper scroll. In conclusion 2 days later people were posting" I can't get the update" "what update" it is mainly because Samsung and att pull them out. Your phones are good don't worry.

Hey guys, I just recently flashed vipers new rom over my previous ARHD 6.6.7 rom, it worked great for about couple hours, then after i unplug my phone from the charger, my whole screen turned static like a tv screen but with all these little dots of different colors. I can still feel the touchscreen working then my phone went dead. I took out the battery and put it back in tried to boot and nothing, the charger wont even seem to charge with no led indicator. After a few tries the battery finally seemed to charge and I booted up the phone and still nothing, i feel the vibrate on a black screen and it took me to the rom with the same static screen showing. I took it to a store and they said it was the LCD screen, but im not so sure. I am s-off rooted Tmobile. Do you guys think its the LCD thats dead or a rom issue? I dont know how to flash it back because I cant see anything. Any ideas how to fix this? thank you. :(
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
Remove and replace the battery, then boot into bootloader and 1. see if you can see anything. 2 plug usb to your pc and adb devices from cmd and see what that says.

Heres an update, I bought an lcd screen on ebay, did the repair myself, turn it on and still the same issue! After that I managed to flash an update RUU for my phone and nothing...So now im guessing its a hardware failure somewhere. Im leaning towards the motherboard. I guess i will take a loss and sell this phone for parts =( Thanks for the suggestion guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CNLiberal:
I asked this question on the AOKP thread, but I think it'd be better suited here.

So the GalaxyS2 is very similar to the GNex. They share many of the same chips. Specifically, they share the fsa9480 USB switching chip. This is the chip that enables UART mode, and download mode. In the GS2, it can also enable "Car Dock" mode and "Home Dock" mode. I built a car dock cable for my old GS2. Build log is here:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/11396136...ts/5yrxdcYRf59

It allows for analog audio output over the D+ and D- lines on the microUSB port when you apply a resistor of a specific Ohm rating (619K for car dock mode) across pins 4 and 5 in the microUSB male connector. I was hoping that this same cable would work for the GNex as well. However, the phone refuses to charge, and the dock does not output audio. Remember, this has nothing to do with the PogoPins. I ran an adb kmsg when I plugged and unplugged the car audio dock cable. I shared my observations with Adam Outler. You can see that in this post:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/11396136...ts/9bhvFNPhqSa

Is there a way a dev can do more checking to see if car audio dock mode is possible? It was on CM9 on the GS2. I'm willing to do whatever testing is necessary. I'm also going to ask Entropy512 where the code is for the car dock audio for the I777 (or I9100) in CM9. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Supposedly Jellybean supports USB Audio Out now and presumably this covers the Gnex as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CNLiberal:
Yes, however that is not the functionality I'm referring to. JB's USB audio actually puts makes the phone an "accessory" to a USB device. An example would be those iPhone speaker docks that control/display playlists etc on the dock. What I'm asking for is very different. I think there's a way that this phone will output straight analog audio from the USB port. I might have to ask one of the kernel devs.

I totally overread that you havent rooted and unlocked the bootloader of your phone.

My advice is to unlock the bootloader of your phone. That will make things much easier for you.

You can flash a custom kernel for your phone which includes root and cwm.

Then you can install the xperia s music app via cwm.

Download the zip and extract the needed files manually. But you will need root for moving or replace the extracted files to your phones destination. You also need an app who can manage it.

I want something like this but with the xperia s music app for mdpi devices
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Yes you need root.

Android does not allow moving or replacing files on system folder without root rights.

Second, as i already wrote, not all file explorer give access to system folder. A file explorer how can managed this is root explorer. Root Explorer is not freeware so you have to buy or look after a cracked version.

If you look inside the zip file, there inside the system folder, you can see which files will be installed on your phone. Thats not less.

An easy way to get it is:

1. Get root to your phone

2. Install cwm to your phone so you can flash the zip from the thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanceOff:
What if you need to install an apk from sdcard but you don't have a file manager installed yet, and to make things worse you don't have internet access to download it from the market!

Well, there's a solution to that. Provided by every internet browser available.

(I suppose you have one installed :-)

Here's what you need to do:

1. Put the apk file in the main directory your sdcard. Rename it to something very short for easy typing. In this example, I will use "fm.apk".

2. Boot your device. Goto Security Settings and check "Unknown Sources".

3. Open your internet browser. In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/<filename>.apk". In our example above it should look like this: "file:///sdcard/fm.apk"

4. Press "Go".

That's it! Installation started!
