Indeed, this is a development subforum.

broodROM
Cranium
Cryberts ROM
ANDROIDS REVOLUTION
I9001XXKPG 2.3.5 Gingerbread Deodex by Astap for MultiDownloader
CyMod ROM
UCM GingerBread Rom
these are the roms available.
afaik you can configure each one of them with not much effort so that it has the functions of another of the roms by changing kernel or adding or deleting tweaks. if there was a rom which would be "better" there wouldn't be any other roms.
i think they're pretty much the same.

only to broodROM alone the total posts are 2338 so far
where to start and what to read ??
anyway thank you for your replies anyhow.

Start at the beginning and read all.

i dont want to sound rude or "cleverish"
but should this development reach somewhere or it should be develpment for the sake of developing ??? i am a bit confused ??
it shouldnt reach to a rom that it should be stable (or any other criteria that one looks for ??)
i am just wondering ?
have people in programming lost the connection to the real purpose of the items in question , which is to communicate. ?
i dont know guys i am just wondering ??

the big picture is:
everyone develops what he wants to but simultaneously everyone looks at what other developers do and adopt their features or mods for themselves to have a good rom in the end. thats why i think the roms are all kind of the same. you can use a cranium kernel for brood rom and (in some cases) use the broodrom configurator for cranium rom or use thunderbolt for any of our roms. i don't think this is bad.

Yeh that's true, since we only have Samsung ROMS as base ROMS we don't have much choice , also for the configurator, it was actually built for XXKPS but it seems KPG (not sure), KPS, KPU and QK1 use the "same" framework, ZSKP6/7 is other tho

I suggest you try broodROM RC 3 with FeaCore kernel and thunder bolt.It's smoother than CraniumROM (tried) and my battery goes up to two and a half days on broodROM.Haven't tried it on Cranium.Didn't like it from the beginning.

Darkyy/Doc/Serendipty/Ultimate/Tricky/Juwe/SweetHoney- Which ROM suits You

Hi Guys,
This is not a ROM/Kernal or some tweaks.
Just purely discussing and sharing some reviews abt current ROM's.
I hope this thread will help for some dummies, or for some who required Stable or Fater & Smoother or much great look ROM's.
This is purely my personal Experiance.. Im not commenting on any one's ROM just sharing few thoughts with you guys..
Correct me if i was wrong, and sorry if i unknowingly hurts anybody's feeling.
First of all thanks to our SGS ROM Developers where they are working nites for latest ROM's updated tweaks or kernals.. simply million thanks to them.. else we should have only SAM's deafult firmware.
Coming to my point,i purchased my SGS I9000 n dec 2010.
Previously i dont have any idea of ROM neither XDA nor anything.
When i googled for info on SGS then i found link to DARKYROM, there i got links to XDA.
FOA i would like to thak Darky as i started to flash Custom ROM after i read the whole story posted on his Darky 9.2 stable version, he included almost every thing like which a new guy can easily understand.
9.2 Darky ROM really rocks. Then i moved to DOC's thread,
oh man here u can cook ur own stuff... u ll get here any ROM/CSC/MODEM... this is purely awesome like a supermarket .
Then Juwe's/ultimate & Sweet honey.. these guys are nite raiders always go for newest and experiantal but they ll never let you down.
last but not least Serendity ROM(currently where my journey paused for a while), superb ROM with ultimate fast.
SO my obs are
darky:- if you want Stable Release and want to stay for long time this is best ROM i get.
DOC:- here u c all ROM's and all varieties till last date, you will really confuse which ROM/CSC/Modem version u should go,
I found Serendity is my choice where u will get excellent Faster smoother and Stable and less battery drain if you are with JPY Modem. I mean without any tweaks or some bla .. bla... Just simply install and sit back and enjoy Perfect ROM for daily use.
Once again im telling tht im not Judging any ROM here, just want to Share some views of mine on various ROM's.
2.3.2 is out but lot of FC's going currently no stable yet, i suggest wait for some Darky's/DOC's Stable Release.
I found (ROM) GingerCriskelo for 2.3.2 is bit smoother and less FC's (if anybody want to try 2.3.2).
Same for me + yes serendipity a big discover but it's not late!....2.3.2 will coming.....!!!!

Guys i just flashed Insanity 0.6.7, way gud.. one should try.. just like Tricky very lite but look wise impressed with gud tweaks..
I have been on darky's for a little bit now (since early v8) and its been really, really nice. but now i seem to have cought the bug, and i just want to flash all the different roms out there and see whats out there. tomorrow I'm off to the land of cm7, then maybe miuiand then some of the roms here will be my next stops, i guess i'll report back with my findings
I am on Juwe 1.9 and it works great. Just waiting to see battery life, everything else I am satisfied.
Also when I had a HTC Desire, I was on MUIU and its was defenatly best custom ROM.

Help needed on MIUI!

Can you guys suggest which miui rom i shoukd try? Are there miui roms of both stock and cm9 ? If yes which one to try and is there any brick bug ?
Any help is appreciated
Wait for Rocket ROM MIUI if you want the best possible MIUI for the Note.
Search for Rocket ROM in the Dev section and vote for MINI.

The brick bug is there with every ROM that has Stock ICS Kernel.Kernels that have MMC_ECAP_ERASE command removed are safe but for some reason MIUI doesn't support these kernels :silly:

Too many complaints in the thread in both miui roms!

Though it seems you asked for an opinion on which one to use and it does appears that you did your homework and read up on both the main miui roms available at the moment, imo to say that there are to many complaints regarding them is a little unfair as there isn't a rom forum on here that doesn't in some shape or form have an compliant on whats not working or could be improved that's human nature.
As I really can not comment on the VengeanceNote Edition MIUI 2.8.3- v2.4 + Test builds version due the the fact that I'm not a big fan of cm9 but the rom developer (Gerrett) works very hard on improving it for being a test build (as the title suggest) so yes bugs are to be expected as in any rom. I personally do use the TMT-ver 2 and when properly flashed as per instructions it performs very well. Yes it does have a suspected kernel but being a long time miui user I flash mine from a relatively safe kernel , wipe cache,dalvik, format the system, factory reset then flash the rom and reboot, along with formatting my internal sd card and installing from scratch though it takes me a bit (1 hour or so) and everything works fine and it saves me a few headaches along the way, there are the standard things that miui themselves need to fix like the fc's in the About phone Status and in the Mobile Networks when you want to select Network Operators (these have been known issues since my S2 days) and few people have an issues with the theme manager but for me it does what I want it to. I get decent battery life being a semi-light user never less then a day and a half to 2. But it does vary on what I'm doing..
In the end to ask an opinion for what to use you'll get a variety of each individual who answers your post but what might work well for them may not apply to you and your phone so try what you like if it doesn't suit you then move on to another..

Rom archive

Hello people,
I personally find it super that there are so many and so good custom-Roms and other useful things for the p990. However, I find this all very confusing and sometimes you have to spend hours to find the software you looking for. Many custom ROMs uploaded to OCH,but OCH are often very slowly for free users. So i have make a archive on my premium Dropbox account. Here i collect Roms, tools, and other p990 stuff.
If anyone has anything against that i upload his rom there please sent me a pm; D

Tanks for the links i download now and. upload it today.
@Rayman in box i can upload only 200 mb per rom. For a big rom over 200 mb not so good.
If this is an archive then I really think you should take the time to add this under the Gueste GoodBye ROMs: http://d-h.st/ZeH
I tried both 2.0 and 2.0R and I found 2.0 much much better than 2.0R. Used 2.0 for months, 2.0R for a few weeks and then returned to 2.0. Can't remember exactly what Stefan did with 2.0R, but personally I prefer the 2.0 without a doubt.
I like the idea too, nice job
All gueste goodbye roms are uploadet in the archive.

Do you even know what you are talking about? You have the 2.0R version. The 2.0 is better and it isn't there, so no, there are not all the goodbye roms.

Now that's organisation! They've obviously spent a lot of time on that. Definitely something which we would all benefit from.
Hey,
I got a couple of webservers, and if you (any of you) is serious about this I'd be able to provide an online archive for everybody. Free of charge ofcourse. Just hit me up with a PM and we'll talk about it.
why you want do this? In 2 or 3 hours the rom archive is online. I have upload two new roms and some kernels.

Honestly i'm a bit lost with these new rooms.. i don't know what to choose.. or if is the best time to chose it.

if you want to stay with GB, then DM (my personal fav always)
if ICS then, I would suggest Topo's ROM, Homero's ROM with Topo SP2 or Stefans' 2nd gen. Others presently have the incall bug....all CM10 based ROMs.....so better to choose something which is free of this.
Hope this helps you

[ROM][MIUI V5][JB 4.1.2] MIUI V5 UnOfficial for SHV-E120S

Hi MIUI Fans:
This thread is not in progress anymore ... coz I changed my phone a long time ago and I don't have this device now...
But no need to be sad coz ... MIUI has included this phone in its list and Ported ROM is available for this device...
And not only this but all the 3 devices have MIUI now ... SHV-E120S/K/L....
Here is the link Ported MIUI from the official site ...
Hope you enjoy

Hey friends,
For those of you who have been waiting, here is the good news.
I am so glad to present the latest (not exactly, but not old either) MIUI V5 3.8.2 for our SHV-E120S S2 HD device.
Whats working:
Seriously speaking I have not done a explicit testing on this build, but have briefly gone through almost all the things and found those to be working. :good:
Whats not working:
There is no keyboard installed by default. You need to skip all the settings in the beginning and then you can install a JB keyboard and then setup your phone.
Problems:
I found the Camera app not fully functional. If you want to simply click pictures then its working great. But I found a few problems while video recording. The speed at which the camera takes photos is pretty quick and for the video is pretty laggy.
NOTE:
1. I am not the creator of this ROM, I have simply ported it to our device.
2. Make sure you have taken the necessary backup of your existing ROM before flashing this one.
Flashing Process:
1. Copy the downloaded file to your sd card where you can access it easily.
2. Boot into recovery and take a backup of your existing system (in case any thing goes wrong)
3. Cleaning up
3a. Wipe data/factory reset
3b. Wipe cache partition
3c. Go to Advanced option and wip dalvik cache
4. Choose install zip and point it to the location where you copied the downloaded miui zip. It will take around 2 mins.
5. Repeat steps 3a, 3b and 3c.
6. Reboot your device.
While starting for the first time it may take some time and any subsequent restarts will be much faster.
WARNING:
And I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device. Please flash this at your own risk.
Although I flashed the same and had no problems at all. I have experienced a good battery backup with this ROM.
Those who flash this ROM, please share your experience with others. And it would be great if someone could put up a video of the flashing process and the performance of the phone once you have flashed the ROM.
Without any further delay here is the download link for the same:
Build 01: 2013_08_20
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BycWzcfvhoryUEd4Nnk1SXZQS28/edit?usp=sharing
Build 02: Coming Soon...
But I would need people to test it once.... coz I don't have enough time to test it.
Also if anyone would like to see the screenshots, you can find those here:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/za31zscots5b5/MIUI_V5_ROM
Happy Downloading, and please hit the Thanks button if you like my work. I just hope if works for you all
Lastly I would like to thank
MIUI team, MIUIAndroid team, osm0sis and Tinus81 (the link you gave did the trick ) for helping me out.
Thank you.

NO!!
I don't exactly know how these devices (E120S, E120L & E120K) are different from each other...but please don't do any such thing...
You could brick your device (just guessing)....
Search a ROM for your device and i am sure you will find one....I would be very happy to port this rom for other models like yours....but i don't have that device to test the same....
Thanks
Hi shrewdy I just bought a brand new SHV-E120S from ebay it should arrive tomrorrow so I am just downloading your rom ready.
I have been reading contradicting specs for this phone can you confirm what bands it actually supports ?
From what I can tell I can get gsm and 3g here in the uk but possibly lte because some sites say it supports 3 lte bands and some say just 850mhz
Would you say best option is to flash stock ics then cwm then this rom ?

Hey Buddy,
you can find more information about the phone at this link http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_hd_lte-4198.php
The stock roms are not good enough for this phone....actually speaking none of the ROMs are absolutely perfect for this phone...coz there are not many developers who know about this device.
The phone itself is quite a capable device but its a sad thing that no one supports the phone directly...so people like us have no choice but to port different roms which i must say are not so perfect...
Anyways there are a handful of ROMs available for this device...you can try each one and see which suits you....I really need the camera working absolutely fine and so i use iR2 ROM (Version 3)...
Hope you find answers to your questions.
Thanks.

Thanks for posting.
Yes shame there is not much of a following on this phone it looks good and was ahead of its time !
It would also be good if someone had the time to put in a thread all the different roms, download links what versions etc on main page here............as there are not many I guess it won't take long !
Yes I saw the specs on GSMARENNA but some say they are wrong regarding the bands that are on the SHV-E120S..........anwyay mine has arrived so its time to unbox and flash !
Do you have a dwonload link for the rom you recommend ? Does everything work ? From reading it appears that FOXROM is about as bear perfect as you can get ? but its ICS.

Alright,
You can find the link for the ROM i was speaking about in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44691364&postcount=1941
You can refer to this document for a list of ROMs available for our device: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AosAjYg4w51XdHkxNlRzWFk4UllTTHFNd1JpLW9TWHc&output=html
And here is another ROM that i have tried lately and was working quite well (not 100% stable though): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44948602&postcount=1949

Thanks for the links..............I put a modified stock version on last night and it seems to be stable but very battery hungry so I intend on trying the IR32 tonight which I am hoping is much better ! It didn't download in time !
Shrewdy I think the ROM I tried it was one you posted you tried because it was a zip of a MD5 file with your initials in the file name.
Also just to report for anyone in the uk who purchases this phone it appears that becaus the phone only gets 1 out of the 2 3g bands you can only obtain 3g speeds no H at all unless of course its the rom I am using.
I think the build quality of the phone is a lot better than the S3 and looks more expensive !
If I can get the battery lasting a day then I will be happy I am not bothered about the 4g or H speeds really thats what we hav WIFI for

I am sorry buddy but i really dont have any idea... i just ported the original thing to our device....
If the original MIUI has support for Spanish language then this will have it too..
I searched around and found these links which might be useful...
This one teaches you how to create your own language pack/or translate things
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789566
This one gives you a list of language packs you can download for MIUI (but older version)
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-v5-multi-lang-3-5-31.20664/
Now i am not sure if things work for you if you download the language pack and apply it to this rom...i dont know what will happen...
Hope something works for you...
Thanks.
Dude, can you help me port other roms for our device?

Why Not...Will be glad to help you....
But one problem, you use SHV E120S, i use SHV E120L
In you opinion is this still the best option?
Shrewdy said:
Hey friends,
For those of you who have been waiting, here is the good news.
I am so glad to present the latest (not exactly, but not old either) MIUI V5 3.8.2 for our SHV-E120S S2 HD device.

Shrewdy, I recently buy one of this one (E120S) and I've been looking for a better rom that "full of bloatware" official one. I know you're experienced a lot with this device, so my question is simple: is still this ROM the best stable and compatibility version that you have used? I know this is a noob question, but since your original post is in August, maybe you have a better experience with new a ROM.
About the camera, have you solved the lag during video taking?
Thanks for your answers!!!

Bro... this rom (MIUI 3.8.2) is not the most stable version... My rom is based on the MIUI's Development version which is probably never stable.
If you want a stable rom (which i dont think there is...) it is SVN ROM 1.2... this is the fastest, smoothest and most stable rom i have used until now on my shv-e120s.
Try that rom i am sure you will like it.
Thanks
Can someone port this to E120L please? Hehe

Bro i think you don't do much of research... this room was originally for e120l...and that was the reason i ported jt to e120s...
The latest miui version is available for your device.... search the web...

Thanks for that suggestion! I've reading for your post in several threads of forums-xda, and I found you put some links about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45496210&postcount=54)... Now, is this ROM in english (or multilingual)? Because I couldn't find any information in the translated chinese post that you provided. And the other question is, what about the patches that you mention in your thread? They are specially good for something??
Thanks for your thoughts!

I have used the K version and like it but random silent calls make the rom unsuitable. has anyone a suggestion for the silent call issue? I find the same bug on all custom roms regardless of the Baseband I have flashed from stock I will test the latest baseband SHV-E120K[MK1]. here is a thread for the MIUI versions for L, S and K versions here Latest K and S versions are 3.11.22 L version is 3.7.12 Try this link here
