[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
I'm looking for a stable Android 4.0 or above ROM which can be flashed using Odin. Any threads or links?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
Well I am not aware of any 4.0 or above ROMs that can be flashed via ODIN. I am sure if any developer wants, they may be able to do it but I really think that flashing via recovery is always a better choice compared to ODIN. I see no advantage for ODIN flash...

Do you mind telling me why do you need odin flash???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
Well..

Well, I'm more familiar with Odin flashing compared to recovery mode, and it's a whole lot easier compared to other flashing methods. I don't find that the recovery mode is easy to understand, so you mind to provide me the steps (better if they are easier to understand and follow) and also a link to a stable Android 4.0 Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
Do you have root access on your phone? Every step is actually quite easy to follow. There are really good guides on both general and development sections. But beforewe delve into howto's you should clarify what constitutes STABLE for you...

We have ICS (4.04) as well as JB ( 4.1.2 and 4.2.2) in the development section. All are pretty good but here and there they may have some bugs. Just go to their threads check them out. On the very first page of a ROM thread what works and what doesn't are listed. Decide whether you can live with one of them then we can talk about howto's.

I recommend CM9, CM10 and CM10.1 all from the developer arco68...

OHHH with a custom recovery, you don't even need a computer to flash a new ROM. That surely is a bonus...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
Okay..

I have root access on my phone. Well, I don't see the ROM thread that you mentioned. Stable means that the ROM is not easy to crash or eats up my RAM even when I'm not using it, while common bugs are still acceptable if they can be fixed (I can't find threads from arco68, so I don't know what you mean by his CM9 and all those so...)

Hope you can enlighten me more about this recovery method and the difference between the CMs (if possible, also include any differences between ICS and JB b'coz I don't know which one to choose) :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dead Metal:
Recovery is super easy:

Download the zip and put it on your SD (internal or external, makes no difference)

Then turn of your phone

Press and hold Volume up + Power button + home button

Once the screen turns on, release the power button, but keep holding onto the other two

Then the recovery menu shows up

choose install zip from SD

select the zip and hit install

finished

Here are the links, with more detailed instruction on how to do it

Ups and downs?

Are there any down sides regarding the CM9 mod? And can I change the shortcuts on the lockscreen if I install CM9?

And also, what is CWM actually? I don't understand from the FAQs in the forums or other sites, so can you tell me what CWM is (CWM5 or CWM6) and how to access or install that?

Sorry, I'm really considered a total newbie in this sort of stuff 8(>o<)8
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Its a kind of recovery, called ClockworkMOD. Now its the 6.0.3.0 version if I'm not wrong...

Linky: here

Okay, the process of installation of a custom recovery is tedious. Link: here DO NOT USE THE FILES IN THIS PAGE. JUST THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Now, flash the ROM (any of the three is fine. I personally recommend CM9 or 10 cus its in its RC stages, which means Resource... something)

The instructions is on the ROM page itself. And you're done. I or arco are not held responsible if your phone is screwed up in the process (very little chance) or

if your heart fails because its loading for a longer period than it should be.

HAVE FUN!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
In CM9, I see that the ClockworkMod needed is 5.5.xxxx, so wouldn't CM9 crash if i use the 6.0.3.0 version instead of 5.5.xxxx?

And also, does the CM9 have any bugs? Because I saw some in the posts by people about CM10 but not CM9 (refer to links of above comments)

Anyway, it is a pleasure to receive help from you and the person above.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Well obviously, since its a custom ROM, its bound to have bugs. There's no such thing as a "perfect" ROM. And I have 6.0.1.something CWM and I have flashed every single ROM, from 9-10.1. So it shouldn't be a problem.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] miki2o:
Man, if you want a stable rom, buy another phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
I believe I have caused some misinterpretation here. What I mean is that I want to know if there is anything that's not working in CM9. The stuff below is found from the CM9 thread.

What's working:

Audio

Receiving and making calls

GPS

Compass

Proximity sensor

Wifi

Bluetooth

USB mass storage

HW accelerated gui

HW accelerated video

Camera

Torch

Wifi and USB tethering

There isn't anything that's not shown as "not working", so I'm asking you about it just for confirmation.

If there isn't anything, I will flash CM9 soon. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madzix:
Everything works fine. :)

For CM9 for sure. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Yeah, CM9 is like the most stable out of the three... hardly any bugs

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
I just noticed something in your post. Just to clarify, RC mean "Release Candidate" not resource something... Just so you know. First alpha's come, then beta's, and right before a FINAL version is released in which most of the bugs are squashed, a release candidate comes to make sure everything is working. If for example, no bugs remain in a release candidate, it is renamed to FINAL as far as I know :)

However, there are different understanding of these names on the internet. For example, for some, once a product is in a BETA phase, no more new features added from there on. However, that may not be true for CM releases here, I am not sure.

and [MENTION=5110720]zacszy[/MENTION], both CM9 and CM10 are pretty stable. I have not encountered any show stopping bugs but that maybe because of the way I use my phone, as I dont play games. I use it mostly for productivity, internet surfing, couple of youtube videos, music...

Try them all. I am sure you will pick one that suits your needs..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zacszy:
Really appreciate your help [MENTION=858905]thearif[/MENTION] and I would definitely try them out before really settling in with the CM I want :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Thanks for the definition. Just saying, you can't call it fully stable cuz .... well that's impossible. It is only nearly stable.... you may have not said it but I'm just saying. Haha :D

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhu_camry:
Hi,

I got S4 I9500 on 27th April and the battery was fine and was draining about 4-8 % during night and that seemed normal. Then I did an OTA firmware update to Android 4.2.2 XXUAMDE and since then the phone started draining around 15 % during nights and in comparison it drained a lot during standby. I decided to do a factory reset and now it seems fine. I read in several forum that OTA update messes up the battery life and we have to do a factory reset to fix that. Is there any way to avoid a factory restore every time I do an OTA update or is there any way to update it by connecting it to a PC like samsung KIES, does that prevent such issues ? I'm coming back to android after using apple for 2 years, so I'm kind of a noob :(

Thank you !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tozenator:
I have a 9505, my battery life reduced a lot too when I updated to ME2. Such a disappointment. I did a factory reset but it didn't fix my problem, though I had flashed back to stock firmware after playing with root.

Is there a out of the box rom without the update that I could try flashing?

Well my G2x is finally !@#$ing the bed. im getting a Nexus 4 on Thursday (if they have it in stock, *Fingers Crossed), and putting a bullet in the G2x to put it out of its misery. I'm sure with the current charging issue i cant sell it anyway. and i have tried 3 different batteries, all original. I have tried flashing a few different roms, no change. It seems to discharge as it is on the wall charger even though it says it is charging, I have tried the OEM charger, my Bluetooth charger and my Nexus 7 charger (OEM - 500mA, Bluetooth - 700mA, Nexus - 2.0A). It happens even when underclocked. I think it has just over heated too many times and just needs to die.

For those that want to know I am making a video of the phone being shot, I dont have a high speed camera so dont expect a lot.

What really kills me is i have never dropped this phone or damaged it physically in any way, accept the small plastic piece between the charging port and the slot to open the back (pulled on the wrong part once). I used to love this phone until I started getting the SOD and it has been an uphill battle from there.

So anyway I would like to thank ALL of the devs that have ever worked on this phone. Your perseverance has been amazing, and I hope this phone gets the update is sorely needs. With my luck it will be the day I get the new phone (some thing happened with my Droid LOL).

It's rumored Google will be releasing an updated nexus for mid May (google IO is in a week). I thknk it'll be LTE and have more storage. Probably worth it to wait for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
Thanks for the info but my area doesn't even support proper 4g, T-Mobile has there phones say 4g but its just HSPA (given there version of 4g is HSPA+). In any case I'll have a week to return the phone anyway. The whole reason I even bought this phone was for the specs, I refuse to do that again. I'm going with what I know is good and what people have had good experience with. Some nexus devices have issues too ( look at the galaxy nexus on Verizon)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Just letting you know since I got my nexus 7 on launch, then they updated it with more storage that's also faster in a couple months. Not a big deal, but it's right around the corner.

My biggest problem with the nexus 4 is that apparently the audio out isn't very loud, meaning I'd have to grab an ipod on top of it.

I'm thinking I'll either grab a nexus 4 and an ipod or just see how long I can last on this phone and grab the next nexus (if I don't throw this out a window).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
I waited for my 32gb nexus 7 only because I knew it was coming ( I worked at staples) and that I could use all that storage . I don't care about the speaker and I use a zune because I have over 42Gb of music. BUT all of that is on Play Music so I use that but it kills the battery. But the point of the matter is my phone is breaking and I would like to get it, its only $50 at T-Mobile with the added $17 to my bill for the 16Gb.

To start I am only rooted, not sure if I am going to unlock. Most likely I will do that tomorrow morning. Anyway, how would I go about updates, I saw Verizon came out with the 4.1.2 update for the phone but how would I go about getting it. Should I just unlock my phone and install a custom rom? If I do install a custom rom should it be a T-mobile rom since I am using there service or should I just install a Verizon custom rom since technically I am still using a Verizon phone. Any help would be great since I already messed up my phone this weekend and don't want to do that again. Thanks.

If you root phone and flash recovery for mod app in rom, use app root. You one restore phone for ota update from samsung.

1. Flash stock kernel by recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2267734

2. Flash stock recovery by Odin

Ok, you can update phone from samsung.

You can root <=> restore update root <=> restore update....

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] jmantaiwan:
If you download the official ROM from Samsung you don't need to do anything before flashing it. Just enter download mode and flash the Samsung ROM in ODIN. The official ROMs have the stock recovery, stock kernel, and stock ROM all in one package. I can also confirm that this resets your binary counter and you status changes to "Official" both in download mode and in "Phone Info".
