[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andaho:
Sorry if this has been asked many times in the past, but I cannot find anyone asking recently...

My girlfriend has the official jellybean 4.1.2 installed on her UK Ace 2 GT-i8160, but it often freezes up or lags when doing simple tasks... she was thinking of getting me to downgrade it back to gingerbread, but I wondered if getting one of the kitkat roms would be better?

The requirements are simple.... the most stable and reliable kitkat rom for a UK Ace 2 GT-i8160.

I've been reading and searching the forums for the last couple hours... but I just keep getting more and more confused.

Can anyone help?

EDIT/UPDATE:

CM11 looks like it's the most worked on mod, but I'm confused as to why there are so many 'stable' and 'fully working' releases, when the next update lists a few fixes... so it obviously wasn't 'fully working'? :S

Is the last version of 4.4.3 more stable than the latest 4.4.4? or perhaps a lower version than that?

Or perhaps CM10.2 would be better? - as I stated above, I just want the phone to be as stable and reliable as possible... the official jellybean rom is a joke, and gingerbread wasn't much better.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andaho:
No replies, but ok...

I've spent about 10 hours reading threads about different roms, but it would have been nice if someone could have pointed me in the right direction to save some of that time. If anyone else is wanting the most stable custom ROM for their Ace 2, go for 4.3.1 TeamCanjica CyanogenMod 10.2.

I've just installed it and it works like a dream so far... like getting a brand new phone :D

Doesn't even need to be rooted, very simple to install through the standard recovery menu.

thanks,will try out as i also faced the same issues after upgraded to jellybean.:good:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oceandar:
Most stable KitKat ROM for Ace 2 is AOSP ROM. No Custom ROM can beat its stability....

Is that version on n5 good for daily use or it's just launcher with apps. We can't use play store or go to Internet? If we can then I can't Wait for devs to port it because ill use it daily I don't care about bugs
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickcu13:
It can be used for daily use, but it's not recommended because it's not complete and is very buggy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho693:
I have it on my Nexus 5 and its stable enough to use as a daily driver in my opinion. its fast and everything works except a couple apps because of art and design changes,

How can I flash modem on rooted device?

Flashing modem only with odin doesn't seem to work for me.

Should I flash the entire tar file and then root it again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 1iwilly:
how are you trying to do it.?? you know you supposed to turn phone off then put it in download mode for odin to work.???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Pull the battery out the device, wait about 15 seconds, replace the battery, press and hold the volume DOWN , home, and power button to boot into download mode, press the volume up button to continue into download mode, proceed to flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Not nearly enough information. You'd get a lot more tailored help if you described in detail exactly how you tried to change your modem. Then we could spot what went wrong. Be sure to include the versions of your OS, modem file and your flashing program.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespat93:
I left my G3 on Charge for around an hour and when I came back the charger was making a high pitched noise. I took it out straight away and found out that it was the charger head making the noise, the usb cable was fine. Has this happened to anyone else? And does the official charger head charge the phone any faster? Cause I'd rather use a different one to be safe.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piepie22:
I have been using the Galaxy Nexus charger, it does charge it faster than the office charger.

If I recall correctly the Nexus charger Amp is higher than the official one coming from G3

Mine makes a very hard to hear buzzing noise sometimes maybe it's my ears. I have bad hearing anyway from the military but I swear it buzzes ever so faintly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesi.james:
If you have bad hearing then I'm surprised you were able to actually hear that. Might not be as bad as you think (:

Any who, chargers and any other power converting devices(wall warts, things that don't use direct mains) sometimes regularly make very high pitched whines, mostly they are too high pitched for people to be able to hear it though. Nothing to worry about, it's a thing that kinda happens
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It's just certain frequency ranges that I can't hear , really high ones in particular and some lower ones. But this make note of a buzzing noise similar to florescent lights.

I have a problem after upgrading to wm5 3.00. When I receive a call my phone always picks the address from the sim card instead of the address book on my qtek. I ave tried with another radio rom, but with no result. If a phone number is on the SIM card, it will first go to the sim card. Anyone with a solution?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tmoney239sucka:
Hello, I also had this issue 2 days ago. I was on HyperDrive Rom and I couldn't get my screen to turn on at all after a call. It happen when I downloaded a nightly of Cyanogenmod and had it fail. What I had to do was restore a week old back up and haven't had it return yet. Maybe CM related? I'm not sure but been fine since.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] etp23:
So what if I don't really back up my ROMs I think I might have my stock backup do u know if that would work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tmoney239sucka:
Well then I'm going to say ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP!! then you can delete it if ur new Rom works good but u should always keep at least ONE. If you do have that one back up I would say yes, go do that or the better and easier option is to just start completely fresh with a full wipe and new Rom. Hope this helps. Btw I have not had that problem since I used a week old back up ;)

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

Also Titanium Backup is ur friend for backing up apps and app data for those new Rom installs, just FYI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] etp23:
I've whipped everything and tried fresh but I will try that back up then wipe again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdidtht:
Its a kernel issue, and it could possibly be a cm source issue. Meaning most cm based kernels could have the hard sleep issue. So if its on one cm kernel its almost going to be on all. Since source commits are the same, just added features per kernel. I highly recommend yank 555 kernel, then you can tune your max off freq and hardlimit etc. May help you out a bit..

[HTC One X] p3r02d3r0:
Hi guys,

Currently I'm running VenomX on my HOX, but I want to change to something new (cooler?).

Anyway, I tried two different ROMs this Sunday; Android Revolution HD and Cyanogenmod, but neither didn't impress me that much to make a change.

I wanted to try-out Resurrection Remix 4.4.2, but as far as I realized, that's basically CM.

The one ROM that I ran longest on my HTC devices was MIUI (it's still on my Bravo which my gf uses), but I'm not exactly sure which one to choose for HOX. Is this one the best one for HOX?

Any kind of help and suggestion is very welcome.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There is no "best" rom. We can't decide for you. Try them and like them or not.
[HTC One X] pandaball:
Best ROM threads are not allowed. Your best bet would be to try it out yourself and use a ROM that fits your preferences, not others'. Thread closed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
Firstly, thanks to SafinWasi and Red_81 who both helped me on other threads, this question follows on from those threads.

I'm trying to downgrade from 7.4.9 user 4952320. Eventually, I will probably install CM11 (I tried once and bricked my device), but for now I just want to downgrade the OS and be able to change the wallpaper, I'm sick of the black paper. (I've tried Stunts wallpaper fix and it didn't work)

When the device upgraded to 7.4.9 I made backups of the whole 12 img files (inc boot0block).

I've read that you need a 7.2.3 boot image to be able to install TWRP as part of the CM11. I obtained a rooted 7.2.3 boot image from Red_81s google drive. I then flashed that boot image and tried rebooting the device. No joy. I got the red triangle. I flashed my 7.4.9 boot image and rebooted. The device rebooted and worked as normal.

I then flashed the 7.2.3 rooted system image and rebooted. Again I got the red triangle. I then flashed the 7.2.3 boot image, (so the device had 7.2.3 system and boot images) but again I got the red triangle.

So, how do you downgrade? Should I have flashed all 3 of the 7.2.3 images? (I don't have the checksums of the images so I recognise if one of the images was corrupted the exercise was doomed to failure.)

By flashing my 7.4.9 system and boot images, my device was restored to functionality, and I learned a bit, but not enough to achieve the goal. I'm hoping someone can show me how to downgrade.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
Thought I'd add that I did try Kindle Fire First Aide but got lots of errors about dropbox not being available.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Did you flash the system and recovery? Both are needed to successfully downgrade. I always wipe data too.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You need to flash a custom recovery on a second bootloader as well. You can't just flash the system. You also need to flash the 7.2.3 boot.img and stack override. Any tutorial dealing with this mod will include all the steps. It important to pay attention to details and not skip any steps. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
I didn't flash recovery, at my first attempt, just boot, then I tried boot & system. Both tries gave the red triangle.

I've tried again, with all 3 rooted images from your gdrive - recovery, boot & system, and again got the red triangle. I tried again with the 3 images from another source (my own unrooted 7.2.3 backup when I first got the HD7) and again, got the red triangle.

I haven't wiped the data because I would prefer to keep it so I can use the device (and think it should be possible to downgrade without wiping). I haven't been able to find a command to wipe just the cache...

So I'm more than a bit puzzled. The fastboot commands (eg fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img) all return with "sending" then "OKAY", then "writing", then "OKAY" so I don't think there's any problem there.

I must be doing something wrong or missing something.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
Thanks for your response, but at this stage I don't want to flash a new custom ROM, that may (probably will) come later, but at this stage I want to just downgrade. I've been warned that installing TWRP etc may leave the stock system in a bootloop, so a working stock backup won't be possible.

As I have to downgrade the stock boot image anyway in order to install a custom ROM, I thought I'd downgrade the whole OS in order to have a functioning stock system, then I can make a backup of it in TWRP, then install a custom ROM.

If I'm having problems with a simple downgrade, I might have more severe problems flashing a new ROM and be left with a dead device like I was previously, hence my caution and not wanting to move on until I know I can recover to the previous step if things go wrong.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Did you try downloading the original 7.2.3 from the thread and try flashing them ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
Yes, I did. Tried them twice, in a different order (didn't think it would make a difference but you never know....). Anyway, tried again, this time, wiped data and cache (took 45 mins) and it worked! I now have 7.2.3 and access to Gplay (was already there).

I haven't registered it to my Amazon account yet, so email and contacts don't work, and am wondering if I should go straight to installing a custom ROM. I'm thinking if it isn't registered to Amazon, then they can't update it via OTA...... or can they?

It's been a bit of a task getting this far, but at least I'm more confident about getting into ADB and Fastboot!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
well, I know the answer, yes, even though it hasn't logged into an Amazon account (I realise they pre-register them to your account before dispatch), it updated back to 7.4.9 just as I finished the above post and whilst I was thinking I should disable OTA updates using KFFA!

flip. This is turning into hard work. lol, still I know how to do it now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg2074:
I was having many issues after the last OTA and got mine to cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7 last night. Mine was at 7.4.9 also. I followed rootjunky youtube videos to get mine re-rooted, flashed and working. After getting it rooted, he uses Fire Flash app to put twrp on the Kindle. I deviated a little and put the twrp 2.7.0.0 version other than that, I followed to a T. Once I got all that done, I went on the internet to Hashcode's repository and downloaded the newest cm-11 UNOFFICIAL he had listed directly to the device. I downloaded the latest Gapps from cyanogenmod and then booted into recovery(twrp) and installed. Everything is working beautifully now. Everything seems faster and smoother so far. I did go ahead and do an update from the about area in the settings to cm-11-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7. I was also able to get all my books that I had purchased through kindle in the kindle reader.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cecr:
Nice to know. Think I'll be doing something very similar, now I've made backups of 7.4.9 "just in case". Just have to go through all the above again!
[Samsung Gear 2] Kaygeee:
Hi Guys,

i just bought the Gear 2 a couple of days ago.

its a nice device, good hardware but bad software.

2 days later i saw The Gear Live with Android Wear and Google Now! on Google I/O,

Somehow i feel ripped-Off by Samsung.:confused::confused:

the S Voice is really bad Compared to Google Now!

If you feel the same. And want to see Android Wear Ported to the Gear 2 please leave a Vote And Reply.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
How many thread have to be made and clutter this section . Read before you post it's a rule. You bought it 2 days ago then you can take it back . And buy the gear live . Simple . I mean it's only been a day since wear was announced. In 2 days you haven't had time to experience tizen your just following everyone else who complain about it. Tizen is a good OS . Not for everyone but is good. I myself wouldn't mind wear but in good time .
[Samsung Gear 2] Kaygeee:
in 2 days i know already the device architecture inside out... and i used it allready to make 32 phone calls, 60 messages. received lots of notifications on it.

and i already made an App for it that is on sale on the Samsung Apps Store. check it out if you want. :)

and Voided my warranty :P

2 day are enough time for a person that knows where to look :cyclops:

its good... but is it good Enough??

i just want to know what others think.. in this early stage :confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
I have to agree with the above. Android wear looks like there is almost too much going on. Navigation looks cumbersome. I like being able to tell my device to turn off by pressing a button. I had the original gear and that side button drove me nuts. Having the home button on the front of gear 2 is nice. I can run my watch for 3 days easy taking calls emails texts playing games. Shorting pics of computer tags for work. Would I like to see wear come to gear 2. I'm on the fence. Would I try it ? Yes. Will I go out and get the new watch? No. I feel gear 2 is better built and worth the 300$ gear live isn't worth the 200$
[Samsung Gear 2] Kaygeee:
Old Enough :cool:

I'm no expert... but from my point of view the Room for improvement on the Tizen S-voice is a lot.

compared to Google Now! which comes on a similar device released only couple of months after Gear 2 release:confused:

and why would i imagine the 70's, 80's and 90's when we live in 2014 my friend times change fast :confused:

like i said its good... but is it good enough with the young Tizen on it? how would it be with Android wear on it? is that going to bring out more functional potential.

I don't want to sell it. ill keep it around and wait for more improvement. or a chance to Port Android wear to it.

But in the moment i want to know how much people want to see The Android Wear on the Gear 2. i think I'm not the only one, thats why i made this Poll. :cowboy:
[Samsung Gear 2] hughedee74:
Okay Junior. Now make sure you drink your warm milk, put on your whitety nightys and relax a little. I'm out but thanks for the redundant useless (I mean brilliant) poll.

[Samsung Gear 2] Kaygeee:
the milk and whithey nighties.. is for u old man.

its day time here.

so u relax and dont hate please im just a messenger. my poll is for my cause which is not lost yet.

if you like to spit.. spit some of your wise knowledge in direction of porting Android Wear to the Gear 2...:good:
[Samsung Gear 2] hughedee74:
:p:laugh:Like you said Junior you're the expert. Sooner or later your rants and complaining will force Samsung to their knees. Certainly now they will port Wear over to the Gear2 right away cause you're Kaygeee. You've been ripped off. You bought a piece of tech and something else is on the horizon. You should have been privy to that info before hand. Your bullet points are sound. You've voided your device within 2 days. Overall you are rational in all of concerns. They'll certainly seek your mercy since you have the power of this poll. Yeah Junior. You can make it happen. We support you!:D
[Samsung Gear 2] Kaygeee:
LOL :D i like your sense of humour your funny.

the vote count is increasing as we speak :p

Kaygeee Thats Meee :cool: sooner or later Samsung is on its Kneee :silly:

maybe we should make a song... and post it on youtube..

i'll record and you rap on my Gear 2. Oeps the video recording time is only 15 seconds :p bummer.
[Samsung Gear 2] GuestK00386:
I sold my gear 2 and bought a gear live for the simple reason that I want a fully functional smart watch to work with Cyanogenmod and not have to rely on the TouchWiz framework, I did enjoy my time with the gear 2 though on Omega rom and if android wear did come out for the gear 2 then I would probably cancel my order but until it's done it's android wear from here on out so I have the flexibility to use it on any rom I choose.
[Samsung Gear 2] dazkeirle:
The main problem with it, and any other Android wear watchs is the 1 day use bit. Sure it's got an always on display but if they're advertising one day use, it probably means less.

Holding for for now until early reports from early adopters.

I like Google Now, but I never use it on my phone. The Gear 2 is giving me all the info I need with a 2.5-3 day battery.

I do also use the cam so gonna need support for that too.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Also gonna need it to play music from device (For gym), and keep all the health integration.

I just wish I had hangouts on the tizen, and also the ability to use keyboard to reply for those odd rare occasions i need to (so far never but would be a nice to have).

Facebook app to view whats going on and eBay would also be nice.
[Samsung Gear 2] mjpineda94:
As of now Tizen is better than Android Wear because of App availability AND UI. Also if your talking about Google now and S-Voice they BOTH need Internet connections to work. Which here in the Philippines is not available everywhere. So I don't really care about that.

I guess yes Samsung will port Android Wear to the Gear 2 but they'll still modify it so it will still work as it works right now.
