Hi there.
I'm a nexus guy so this bionic my wife has is an adventure. Anyway I have safestap installed and she has been using CM 10 for a bit but I'm just not in love with the stability. I can fix things fine but she just needs rock solid.
So I plan on flashing 4.0.4 stock.
Thing is I want to restore it to the stock section of safe strap since I broke it long ago. I want to confirm it won't erase the Roms I have installed in the ROM slots currently?
Thanks guys!

I'm selling my Note today, which ROM does everyone recommended to flash before I sell it? It needs to be a full ROM so the guy can update. Thanks.

A Stock rom from this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
the latest stock rom
1.Keep as it is (why to take chance to brick)
2.As per choice of buyer
3.Flash with wipe a older ROM, so buyer get choice to update/Root it easily.
Yeah I think I'll just flash a stock ROM with root and call it a day. Thanks a ton guys, you Note guys are a friendly bunch.

I bought the Nexus. I prefer stock and an easier to handle size. Also the Rogers Note is coming out soon and my contract is almost up My girlfriend is gonna be a happy iPhone 4s user on valentines day though. I couldn't convert her so I had to trade it.

If she didnt convert then shes not a keeper bro... just sayin..

I knew there would be a reference to an Iphone in here somewhere...lol.
Note to a Nexus... I hope you get on with it. As for which rom - flash an early Samsung rom is your best bet, from the region you got it from.
Feel free to check out "our" forum as often as you want - you'll be most welcome. We're a friendly bunch as we have been around the block so many times, in search of the best phone available
What to do if I want to unroot and flash rom?
In dr.ketan's stock ROM post, he wrote...
"If you are not rooted n dont want Root
just flash with PC odin, (same as Older ROM Installation shown above)"
What if I am rooted, but don't want root anymore?
Can I still just flash with PC odin? Would it mess up because the Note was rooted?

yes you can flash stock rom with Odin on rooted note, without issue. It will make your next rom unrooted too.

I'm running cm10 on my rooted, unlocked nexus 7. I'd like to make the jump to 4.2, but I'm not sure if it's the right time yet. I want something I can just flash in twrp without having to revert to stock or screw up my recovery and backups. Is there something like this yet?
It looks like there are a couple of prospects on the Galaxy nexus, but not the nexus 7?

I tried to search and did not come up with the information I was looking for, but I was wondering what would be entailed in getting WiFi and vibration to work with the att note i717 ROMs. I flashed aocp the collective from the i717 by replacing boot.img and everything seemed fine except WiFi and vibration.
I tried replacing dhd.ko and vibrator.ko with ones from a T-Mobile ROM but that did nothing. Also if anyone has gotten those things to work what was done? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So i doubt we'll get a response but it this possible? I;m about ready to dump this phone and just take the hit and leave tmobile. I have never had as much issue with a phone just getting a stable release. Between terrible coverage to random restarts this phone is just coming off as what i expected from samsung.
It definitely seems like its a kernel issue, I think I'm gonna post a question over in the i717 forum, hopefully get a response. Some of those guys are using t879 ROMs and I wonder if they had similar issues with the WiFi and vibration? I haven't been able to dig anything up. I'm in the process of unpacking the kernel, I'm gonna try a few things and see if I can get this to work. Setting up the environment is taking a while.

Alright, I have finally got WIFI to work with i717 ROMS, now im just working on getting the vibration working. should be able to have that working here in a just a short while. afterwards i will do a write up for those that want to try it. definitely will give people more options for flashing roms.
The only rom i have tested with so far is the latest version of paranoid 2.56 for the i717, will try this method with others after i get vibration going. Other than those two things i have not noticed any other problems with flashing i717 ROMS.
Nice, well I have a device to test and break stuff on. I've given up on what we currently have available because everything I've tested in the last month just turns to **** after a week.

wifi and vibration are now working. I posted a thread in the development section. The fix is bundled into a flash-able zip file for flashing in recovery!
Will this work on tw based roms?
The only thing you should have to do is pull the boot.img and replace with a boot.img from a T-Mobile tw based ROM. I tried doing just that on black star over in the i717 forum and it worked fine, I ran it for a few hours before switching back to jelly bean and I didn't notice any problems with the ROM.

Will that work on CM10.1 based roms?

Thank you.

Our roms can be flashed back and forth. Just be rooted, have the latest twrp and flash the rom of your choice. Than flash the blaze ics modem.

I haven't got my N5 yet, but when I do and CyanogenMod is compatible with it, I will run that. I feel like CM is the most reliable ROM. It's probably just cause its the first ROM I discovered.

I'm going to stick with stock unrooted for awhile. I just don't feel the need for a different ROM/kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Stock for now, I will root later but just to remove stuff I don't need on the phone
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Patiently waiting for PA!
Stock + Root
probably until PA comes out
Once ROMS start rolling out, probably CM or OmmiROM. Really missing the extras that CM has.
Need some aokp lovin, until then just rooted.
Stock plus root, here. I just can't stand ads, so I installed an ad-blocking hosts file.
I also uninstalled a bunch of system apps I don't need using TB.

Stock rooted. Took a bunch of the bloat(to me) out immediately. Waiting for Carbon ROM and SlimKat to get going good.
There is no AOKP ROM right now right?
I'm missing it so damn hard. I even thought about switching back to my n4 until it's out here
Stock ROM is so bad >.<
im running stock+ root+ custom kernel... i will deff be flashing a custon rom soon once they get some thing ironed out..
Definitely stock rooted for a bit. I'd rather wait until development is stable.

Same here. Am missing some CM features quite a bit though.
(And I love your avatar!!!!!!)
Stock + Root out of the box.
I'm missing the customization from custom ROMs. I keep doing things like ribbon swiping the notification shade to get to the quick toggles out of habit. I'm going to wait until the development stabilizes before flashing one.
Stock rooted. But stock is so smooth. Rooting for Navbar and Toggles I actually want. So AOKP or Carbon whenever they come out.

Full stock for now.
Stock now of course.
Paranoid Android or Purity or PSX in the future with Franco Kernel.
Yay for our cool devs
Stock until I get bored of it. Then back to CM
