I have a very basic question regarding firmware vs. kernel. I'm on the fence about whether to get an AT&T or Developer Edition phone. Non-carrier phones are on 1.26 whereas 1.29 is out for everyone else. There were improvements in the button sensitivity and camera performance in 1.29. Would these changes (especially button sensitivity) come from the ROM or kernel? Or is the RUU required?
Its both kernel and ROM base combined to give you that goodness ... you can install any Custom ROM on any of those models to get the latest
If you want to stay stock then there is the option of going with Dev Edition with S-Off ... and install OTA from other regions (after changing CID I believe)

Basically can I flash a Europe Firmware or ROM that was based on a Europe stock firmware over my Australian firmware and still have my phone fully functional on the Australian Networks?
I read that Asian phones might have issues but as far as I can see the Australian SGS is the international version.
I've installed Darky's 9.0.2 (which is based on XXJPY) on my Optus Galaxy S, and I highly recommend it Much better than the stock rom, much smoother and definitely looks better!
What was your stock ROM? lexxonnet?
It was DTJP5 as well.
ok Thanks that makes me feel a lot better, I think I will install Darkyy's 9.0.2 as well. Which CF-Root did you use? and did you flash JPY stock first or did you just go directly with the Darkyy's ROM?
Anyway I took the plunge and installed Darkyy's 9.1 Extreme Edition.... But the clockwork mod wouldn't work until I flashed my firmware to XXJPY.... but its all working so all is good.
I'm on 4.1.2 currently - Stock - But haven't received the OTA update yet. (My carrier hasn't pushed it yet, sounds like its still a month away)
Is it worth unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery on and flashing a 4.2.2 rom? (Android Revolution as I want the stock experience) Just for the updates 4.2.2 brings?
I've used 4.2.2 on other phones I have (Xperia ZL Stock and Nexus 4 running PA 3.5) so I'm aware of what the stock upgrades are, but what does 4.2.2 bring to the HTC One over 4.1.2? Any improvements?
I want to try Android Revolution but have been hesitant on doing so - I have a Rogers Canada version of the HTC One LTE (Same as AT&T). Am I able to flash International roms like Android Revolution on my phone and maintain LTE?
I am S-ON, but I understand Most roms still use the Stock Kernel correct? So how would I go from 4.1.2 Stock rom to 4.2.2 Android Revolution as far as flashing? Do I need flash the boot.img first? (Doing it with S-ON is what I'm implying, yes I know there are S-OFF methods currently)
my cid is t mob 101 and i am rooted and i have stock rom 4.1.2.I tried to update it to 4.2.2 but i should have stock recovery(i have),be relocked(i am) and be unrooted(i am not cause i can not do this...if someone can help me i will be glad).
So since i cannot take the ota update i want to flash a rom that is more similar to 4.2.2 without any problem..Does anybody have anything to suggest?
Thank you in advance
Android Revolution HD. It is based to be as stock as possible. Certain performance mods can be selected in Aroma on install.
Hi all,
Just a quick note to say that my slightly modified stock rooted roms are up based off the latest Asus Stock 4.4.2 11.4.1.29 releases.
I've also included flashable updates to the latest Bootloader and CWM versions.
Enjoy!

Sounds like a great ROM. I wish I could unlock my bootloader and try it out.
I have finished rooting my phone (XT1097) and now I'm looking at changing ROMs but before I do, I want to know what benefits there are of CM 12.1 (or another ROM) over the stock retail (Wind Mobile) ROM. There isn't much bloat on my phone and what's there is providing benefits (okay, maybe not spotlight). What would you say is the biggest benefit of removing the stock rom (now that it's rooted) and replacing it with [ROM OF YOUR CHOICE]? This assumes I get the stock 5.1 ROM soon.
More features,nice little additions. Some cases there may be better performance and battery life. I suggest you try everything and see what works for you best
