[Q] Android jellybean 4.1

Hello people from XDA,
I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered:
I have the Galaxy S GT i9000 and I really want to have jellybean 4.1 instead of gingerbread. I have run into a lot of problems when I tried to put custom ROM (I think it was the F4k ICS ROM) and a lot of problems when trying to root. I now sucessfully have it rooted on XXJVU 2.3.6
What I want to know: Is the Jellybean 4.1 for daily use? I use my phone for work and school, so I don't need a ROM that can't for example call or send SMS.
Does 3G and Wi-Fi work?
Will I run into problems starting up? When flashing the F4k ICS ROM I couldn't stop it from staying at the "Kernel semaphore" even after waiting 10 - 20 minutes.
Is it STABLE?
Do I have acces to Google Play
Do I have USB to computer access?
Do I NEED to make a backup with Titanium Backup, or isn't it neccessary? It really doesn't matter for me if I have to set my settings manually again.
I hope these can be answered. For as far as I searched, I couldn't find any answers related to my questions.
Thanks in advance,-

Hello
Yes you can use cm10 as daily.almost everything works

has ccaseder
everything you asked for should work if you set it all up correctly

To get to 4.0.4 - CM9 here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546&highlight=jw4. You can skip first steps if you have a rooted GB / CWM.
After that to go to CM10 (4.1.2) it's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
Everything is working great in 4.1.2 CM10.
First you should backup EFS, save contact/sms/mms/call log with Go Backup (Titanium also as it can't hurt to have 2 backups).
Backup is needed as the phone will be wiped.

In my opinion CM10 is almost as 'stable'(in every way you could think off) as CM9. Some people still wait for a real stable, if you really don't want to encounter anything weird you could go for CM9 instead.

Helly Bean
Try Helly_Bean, smoother and faster than CM10 in my opinion and all works fine out of the box.

Well 4.1.2 is out now and yes it can be used as daily use. It is important to know that in order to have a good experience with jellybean you should go from gingerbread to ICS to JB in that order or you can loose your IMEI number and that is important. Don't forget to do a backup (nandroid) on your phone in the recovery menu. Yes you will have google play and usb . Read the op of the rom you want to install as now to go to 4.1.2 there is a couple of extra steps usually with a new partition layout (you might have to flash the same JB rom up to three time to get it to work properly). Good Luck JB is awesome and fast

Im using X-Bean 3.0 + Semaphore 2.4.4s on a daily base & its running smooth and stable here. I came from stock GB, rooted it and flashed the rom right away.
Had 2 flash it twice. After full wipe flash the rom.
First time phone reboots and wont pass the semaphore logo.
Take battery out and reboot into recovery mode, flash the rom again.
This time install will complete. Reboot & there u go. U can flash kernel after........

Can't get a normal google play :( DESTROYED android life

Hello everyone , i have had this problem since forever , i can't get a normal google play store
first , the ( APPS ) homepage of the store doesn't update it self meaning that it gives me recommendations once and forever
2nd , i can't access the homepage of the market by clicking the top left google play store icon ( it's just not clickable ) , iam running the latest triamislim rom on ICS and i have the latest GAPPS installed :s
i have had this problem on JB as well , i tried marketunlocker / market enabler . but they don't seem to do much but show me the payed apps

Try this steps :
1- go to CWM and >> wipe data/cache/dalvik ;;;
2 - format system .
3- install any Gingerbread rom using odin.
4- open google play and install any app.
5- done.... you can flash any rom without problems now !

Best & simpelst is to come fresh from stock so when u encounter problems during process its easier to help so we dont have to ask what changed, when it occured (we dont know all the changes that have been made in the past) & come with solutions that"ll fix it or **** it up more & ull be more frustated. Just say the easy "factor". Plus I know in most cases it will be running without problems afterwards & ull be satisfied with x-bean or whatever rom u prefer. Just start over from "scratch" starting with flashing 3 file stock rom via odin.
Here odin & pits use 512 tick repartition: http://db.tt/yHvd2Brm
JVU rom: http://db.tt/z0WBjcFk
Flash it
When done flash
Cf root: http://db.tt/2Qre1j2k
Now u rooted go into recovery, do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik), flash custom rom of your choice. U may have to flash custom 2 or 3 times. I recommend x-bean cuz its Running smooth & stable here. Hope u like it 2.
My tip is make a nandroid backup when custom rom is just installed & running fine. And make some more at several points of satisfaction when personalizing your rom
If you make changes afterwards & problems occure & cant fix it or find a good solution, u can just restore with the nandroid backup so u dont have to start from scratch again. It just saves u time in the future.

Did the problems also occure in GB? Or did it start when u were on jb? Either way try JVU like i mentioned in previous post, see if it makes a difference in gb. & maybe the gapps u flashed werent suitable for the jb rom u chose. X-bean has it included by the way.
About x-bean I would give it a try. Experiences are just opinions. There are always complains about every rom. But for me I dont have problems multitasking, battery life i can manage a working day, average i think between 4 or 5 hours screen on time at lowest brightness. When I go 2 sleep & wake up (mostly 8 hours) battery draining between a 2/5 %. I keep wifi on.
My settings LiveOc 120, big mem 404, ondemand ui, noop/sio, rasd 1024. Still satisfied Running smooth & stable
But at the end its on u to try it out.just flash a couple different roms, experience it & make a choice. The beauty of it is, if u dont like (anymore) flash another one till u find ur "dreamgirl"

Confused ...need help :d

Hey there guys! As the title says , i am a bit confused with this new android version for our kick-ass phone. The thing is , everywhere i look there are so many pro and cons on this. I am curently on CM7 temasek vers , and i am pleased with it , except the random signal drop and refusing to call sometimes aaand the all known airplane mode bug , other than that, which are fixed most of the times with an reboot , everything else works fine. Now , my question is did any of you guys (talking about the devs) managed to made a stable version of the new relase ? There are so many new things around (versions i mean) that have to be installed with i dont know what application through usb and things and not the classical .zip file on SD and install from boot , you guys know what im talking about. Anyways sorry for the long post and i hope some of you guys can tell me clearly what the heck is going on.

If you were looking for info on the CM10 there is a USER THREAD available for your question.
you should do some reading and find out whats best for you.
if you want something stable and decent i would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038631
make sure you smart flash v28 or v30 BB ril is installed with the rom. and you need to be on the new partition.
i would recommend to install Topo's v28 rom using his NVflash (this will set your phone up on the correct partition system, and will allow you to smart flash your baseband without having to revert to v20 roms.
you should be able to use the tool kit in my sig also to do what your looking for.
Carburano and Topogigi did a great job modding the rom and kernel, its really fast and smooth. i've only found minor bugs that dont effect the usability of the rom. and depending on your BB most folk have not reported any radio issues.
the only problem you will have is a nandroid backup of your current rom (if you wish to restore it) you will need to revert your partition system before hand.
and also make sure you take a Titanium backup of your apps/ games, and use the migration option to restore them to ICS, because, your current data will not restore properly on a stock rom. since i noticed your using CM7.

Necrowakker answered your question very well, I'm also running DjangoManouche and it's awesome! I only know about two bugs that aren't major ones, but I don't know if it has others. The first bug is an audio issue, when you reach the middle of the volume that's actually the maximum and if you keep going up it will start from zero, it is actually not a big issue because the audio is as loud as you would expect, you just have to leave the volume up to the middle, and the second bug I know about is about the radio, I think is only with the King of Birds kernel, when you turn off the screen the radio stops, but I haven't face that since I don't really listen to the radio anyways.
So, as you can see there aren't any major issues here, so I totally recommend it and it's faaaaaast!
You can flash it via the cwm, but you have to be running an ICS rom fist, so you can have the new partition and the new bootloader.
For flashing the v30a kdz, rooting it and installing cwm I recommend you this tool kit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 But be aware, you must make a backup first (you can do it directly in the toolkit) of your internal sd card since going to v30a will erase your all your data.
This is the method I used to update to v30a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35193678&postcount=5 with that same Tool kit you can flash cwm and root it, it's extremely easy.
Hope it helps.

Thanks man , i got everything i need donwloaded and even started to do it buuut i have one problme , after instaling a CWM vers for it and following all the steps now im stuck with an internal card (emmc) apparently that i can not mount and since i have my ROM zip there and BB thingy as well , i cant do anything , nor that toolkit so any ideas on how can i fix it ?

I think i have kinda bricked my phone lol.
Heres what i`ve done :
1.Download everything i needed , the ROM , the BB file (V30) , the toolkit (AIO-P990 toolkit)
2.Added the ROM.zip file in the phone ready to install the ROM
3.Changed the partition size for ICS and such with the toolkit , everything went fine , i was excited
4.Gone in recovery to install the ROM and this is where the unexpected happenend , i couldnt acces my internal SD , the phone memory (cant mount emmc) or something ..and now i am stuck :<

Found the soultion , apparently it was me all the time (thats new , right?) my SD card cant be opened for some reason , prolly because i got it from a friend and it just fitted and i was able to add things on it , anywayz i`ve used another SD card from some other phone and managed to put the ROM.zip on it and add it to my phone .. now its installing , yay so yeah , no more help needed , thanks for the reply tho guys , much love ! Oh my god i`ve just installed it and it is awesome !

Thread moved. Please post all your questions here in Q&A in future. Remember asking for help is still asking a question.
Thanks

If you are running a safe kernel, then:
Put the rom zip file in your external sdcard
Boot in CWM recovery
Make a nand backup (just in case)
make a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset ,wipe cache, format system, data and preload under mounts and storage)
Install zip from sdcard
That is the usual way. However, it is always good to read the rom thread for special instructions.

As it's alliance rom, you could also use the rom customizer from the play store as that is the recommended method by the dev.

Thanks you guys for the quick response...

My strong advice is:
. Read the original post of the desired rom (here)
. Once there, you'll see a list of very important links. Check them all. I'm noob too and I can assure you: it's really important for us.
- Download Alliance-ROM
- How to install the ROM
- FAQ
At last: Alliance is the ROM I use on a daily basis and couldn't be happier with it.
Go for it!

Just be sure that you're on a secure kernel, when you make the wipes.

How will i know if i have the safe kernel? I am currently running Ultimate Jellybean does it have a safe kernel already?

Yeah it has a safe kernel !!

There's nothing to worry .... Itz based on philz kernel ... So u need not worry !! Before installing any other rom just follow the usual procedure of wipe and you are good to go

why not follow the advice by dev

Can't Install Roms HELP PLEASE! Huawei U9000 Problems!

Hi I am new to this "romming" business. For my u9000 I installed UtterChaos kernel .32. Most to the roms require .35 kernel. And when I try to install SUT LR 1.8 it never works with windows 8 64 bit. I do have CWM Recovery, and I do have superuser permissions. But for some reason when I try to flash a different kernel like CK Kernel Lebay edition, the whole device gets stuck at boot. Yes I have wiped data, cache and davlik. before doing so. I had to then remove the batteries and put them back to start the phone in download mode to replace the boot image from a back up then go do a CWM restore. And I have tried doing factory resets but the UC kernel boot wont change.
Bottom line is, I AM LOST and I will be using this phone for a long time and I can use a way out of this and I need to find a very fast and stable rom with all working features.
What I have:
- .32 kernel
- UtterChaos kernel
- Custom SU
- CWM Recovery
What I need (please help):
- To get rid of UC kernel (boot, etc...)
- .35 kernel (if possible)
- SUT LR for Windows 8 64bit (if possible)
- A really good rom for heavy gaming, performance, stability, something other than GB (preferably JB or ICS)
I may be asking for too much, and sorry if I am, but I can use some help with this phone right about now.
Thanks in advance!

My answer
You can get 35.7 kernel here, depending on what rom you wish to use. Just flash it along with your preferred rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919097&highlight=kernel
For the rom, it really depends on your preference, because the performance is mostly the same between all the JB roms, smooth enough if you don't install lots of apps that stay in the background. Currently, I'm using the XperienceXperia JB rom. It's about as good as the other JB roms, just with Xperia stuff. Also, make sure that you don't put too much load on it, because it might freeze. No kind of software would be able to magically turn our phone into a gaming powerhouse, because it has an old, outdated gpu to start with. So, don't think about running games like Asphalt 8, because it probably wouldn't run.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479460
I'm not aware of a Win8 x64 compatible SUT LR, but I don't think you'd need it for anything besides flashing stock roms.
By the way, what rom are you using now? If you flash a cm10 (JB) designed kernel to a GB rom, it would definitely cause problems.
Sorry for the long reply, I don't know how to make it simpler.

THANKS
Hi thanks very much I am using the stock rom. Thank you sir :good:
And I suppose for any rom I flash the corresponding kernel first before I flash a rom?

I'm not sure about the order myself, but I usually flash the rom first, then the kernel. I do this everytime I want to flash a rom, and I've never had any problems. Have you tried flashing one of the JB roms for this device? If you haven't tried, remember to wipe data and cache before flashing the rom, and backup your current rom just in case something goes wrong.
