I've tried most of ROMs especially Nik's, but I think Sabsa Prime v10.0 is most stable and bugless ROM among others. Besides, it includes Sense 4.1 and some JB apps. You should try it guys.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Try ARHD with beast mode kernel. Best ROM - kernel combination there is.

Dead cookies leave no trails...

Venom isnt bad, but it became a bit laggy for me..

[HTC Incredible S] Derrick21:
I used nik's project x 4.1 previously and I found it stable , good battery and fast . But since he didn't make any new updates so I moved on to other roms such as sabsa and venom . Sabsa is sort of like a project butter ui , I found it extremely smooth and responsive however I didn't use that Rom as my daily driver since I like the unique and cool features of the venom Rom although it has a little bug on it . Not a big deal though , I can bear with it .

So these are my opinion on the popular sense 4 Rom . If you want extremely stable , go for nik's project x ( don't really have updates for the time being ) ... Sabsa for fluid performance over the ui . Venom for unique features like it's own tweaks and hub . That's all I would say :p
[HTC Incredible S] kensheen:
i would suggest u sabsa prime v10.0 bugless n my daily driver nowadays.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I will recommend all you guys to use Nik Project X V4.1. It is the best Rom ever.
[HTC Incredible S] @di:
ARHD 4.0... With hunter or beastmode kernel....
[HTC Incredible S] roaydempsey:
I think Blackout rom is very smooth and bugless,it worth a shot @@

[HTC Incredible S] Evilus:
After testing ARHD with Beastmode for some time I must say this is the best rom for overall thing. 2 Days battery (yes 2 days) with about 2-3h screen on time and everything synched/pushed. No lag at all and so far no crashes on apps or sluggishnes on dialer etc.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
ARHD wins! Beast mode or hunterwu kernel.....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhiiii:
Hi everyone ,

I want to buy a new phone in a few days,and I choose between One x and S3,I know thath there is a lot of topic like this but I searched and rly cant find anything thath will convince me to buy one x or s3,just to much similarities.

So ,How I see S3 is smoother and has better batery life ,I dont care for camera and microsd slot ****s,32 or 16gb enough for me.

I will root and install custom rom when I buy one of these,so I wanna know with custom rom on galaxy S3 and custom rom on ONE X what are difference then,cus I know thath on custom rom will be a lot of improvements on both phones.

One thing I prefer on one X is design.

Pls give me some benchmarks and good advices

Tnx in advance and sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
There's little point asking about this. The specs you'll be able to find online, as for custom roms, there's so many no one's gonna bother explaining everything.

HTC will have sense based roms, whereas Samsung will have touchwiz based roms. Both will have cm.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnD:
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) - following 'High on Android' web site instructions.

Everything went well and I installed Clockwork Mod Recovery (CMR) and I backed up then current ROM successful.

Recently, I got a new update to Gmail so, I decided to backup the ROM again. I ran CMR and I was prompted to name the backup file and I was prompted the phone would reboot and complete the backup.. The result was the phone went into a loop constantly displaying the boot logo.

I overcame the problem by re-rooting the phone using ODIN - the download mode was accessible on the phone.

However I spoke to soon: the phone became increasingly unstable and, it eventual Froze. I tried to do a factory wipe & re-root the phone - That left me in exactly the same position - at the boot logo, dead. I have written an email CMR & High on Android but, they have not replied.

I quickly realised I would have re-flash the phone completely and I sourced the correct files from 'SamsFirmware'.

That's the first question: the file I download was compressed and when it was decompressed it gave me two files;

N7100XXALJ3_N7100OXXALJ4_N7100XXALJ2_HOME.tar.md5 & SS_DL.dll

Q1. Can I run this tar.md5 using ODIN (PDA) function?

Q2. I have read that a file like this need to be further spilt? If so, How?

Q3. If spilt the file into component parts, how will I identify / set up the files to ODIN ?

Mild panic is breaking out here - it's the last time I will ever flash a perfectly working phone again. Any advice or practical instructions you can provide to recovery the situation will be warmly welcomed!

Hello, I got my Galaxy Samsung SII repaired by Samsung, it came back with 4.0.4 (but went to them with 4.0.3). The info when I got it back were:

Model number

I rooted the kernel and then used used a CWM Recovery of my phone (rooted kernel only 4.0.3) to recover SMS/Call log/Apps etc. I've reflashed the latest stock 4.0.3 ROM (I9100PBVLPA_I9100PORALP9_ORA.tar), but Kies still isn't giving me a 4.0.4 version to upgrade to.

Ignore that this says 4.0.3. Its BVLPC and was released in August. Same as the 4.0.4 ROM you had on your phone when you got it back. I would say that this is the 4.0.4 ROM. Dont know why Kies isnt giving you the option to upgrade to it, but use Odin to flash it. It'll work just like a normal upgrade and keep all your settings/apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giac0m0:
Aha! That does sound excellent. It is wierd that Kies didn't do anything, especially as tonight it did a minor Kies update when I fired it up this afternoon and only installed Kies two days ago. I used a spare Win XP machine at work to connect to my phone, but usually use my mac at home. I'll try the Mac tomorrow night. If that doesn't work, I'll try CWM Recovery to flash it from the microSD card with the August ROM.

Thanks for the reply :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giac0m0:
Haven't had the time to check this with Kies before now, but tonight when i connected my mac to the S2, Kies spotted that I could update to the BVLPC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Wait, if it came back with 4.0.4, and this is the version you wanted, why on earth did you go back to 4.0.3 just to go back to 4.0.4? :eek:

You had no reason to flash 4.0.3 to root your device, All you needed to do was to flash kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giac0m0:
I didn't realise the CWM backup would restore the entire partition (in kernel) beyond two stock ROM generations. That was a mistake! The goal here was to flash it with a 4.0.3 and then use Kies to take me to 4.0.4.

Hi,

when I wanted to use Navigon the other day it did not get any GPS signal.

When I leave it on the map display it updates like every 10 minutes with somehwere that I passed while driving.

Restarts do not help and also other GPS based tools (like MapFactor Navigator) do the same.

Did this happen to anyone else / how do I recover from that (do not really like to try a factory reset since a) I do not know if it would help and b) I don't like to reinstall and setup all apps again.....)?

Thanks,

Download Here[/FONT][/SIZE]

Sextape/Garwynn Notes/Comments:

I've been going through the .ZIP file and here's what you ought to see:

1) Update to 4.1.2

2) Bluetooth enhancements

3) Possible boot screen change

Known partitions affected:

Modem

Boot

TZ

Sboot

Recovery

HELP NEEDED PM GARWYNN:

In order to make one clicks need a few things:

Modem.bin dump (after update) - MMCBLK0P10

Boot.img dump (after update) - MMCBLK0P8

System.img (after update) - MMCBLK0P13 *Need unrooted and rooted, both otherwise unmodified please!*

TZ and Sboot are unpacked in the .ZIP so they should already be good to go.

I'll work on repacking recovery.img based on LJC and updating content from the .ZIP file.

Remaining images will be pulled from LJC to make restore version of LK8 once we have the above dumps.

If you can help me with these please do so, upload and PM the file location.

I'll be happy to repack as needed!

Are you not rooted or something? This is probably the same lk8 Sprint will release like a month+ from now, meaning people can update much sooner and developers can make fresh roms based on this leak. It means we get 4.1.2 sooner :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Easier than the toolkit, here's the link from there:

http://hotfile.com/dl/178180061/c92a4d7/COMBINATION_L900VPLJ1_L900VPALJ1_CL26552 3_HWID04_HW-Rev0406_user_low_ship.tar.zip.html

Unzip and flash by Odin. Again recommend repartition.

Then flash TWRP and restore.

Morning Update:

Confirmed modem dumps are too big to flash by Odin.

Means LK8 modem will either be by Rudyblah's version or by update.zip.

Based on my success with yesterday's modified update.zip I've tried to go a little further.

Test #3 requires TWRP and will lose it afterwards - so have it ready to re-flash.

Changes from yesterday include skipping update of bootloader and injecting su, Superuser and busybox.

Anyone interested in testing please PM me for the link.

If the results are good I'll put it in a permanent home for folks to pull it from.

Will also be making test root restore and "nodata" .tar.md5 files for LK8.

They will be missing the modem. Flash Rudyblah's version or run LK8 update from LJC to update.

Folks interested in testing this please let me know and I'll pm you a link as well when ready.

Probably won't do a "stock" flavor unless there's interest in one. Not too hard to remove su, Superuser and busybox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gyrene2083:

Alright, I read through all five pages and my head spun around a few times, so just to clarify: the OP is completely stock, right? I have a 100% stock, non-rooted, up-to-date (LJC) Note 2, so I can flash the OP update.zip using stock recovery and it will work just like any other OTA from Sprint?

Why is the update.zip out in the wild but not actually being pushed OTA? Did they make it and then decide to pull it last second because of the Exynos exploit?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
If you use the original update.zip you'll lose some Sprint carrier settings. The LK8 one clicks are a much better solution at tge moment.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikonx:
If it's something that the general "rom flasher" wouldn't want to touch, shouldn't it be in the Dev Discussion forum? I assumed by it's placement in this forum that it was a leak of the stock firmware update that will eventually be released by Sprint. Is this not correct?
