Ive seen this many times in rom manager but never flashed it as it wasn't on xda so wasn't sure about it. As far as I can see it's a reliable rom so I wonder why I've never seen it here before????
I installed one rom I found here that was based on it though.
Might give it a shot. OP has given info about it. Anybody else can supply any feedback?

I used the 2.3.3 version and it was very stable and just worked fine as advertised; I'm sure this one is the same. He just focuses on making a very stable, close to stock rom with some improvements here and there. Should be a very smooth rom.
Guys, jcs doesn't post on XDA so if you have questions regarding Blandroid, please use his mini-forum on the Blandroid website:

Thanks

Yep, very stable/smooth ROM. The latest 2.3.4 version was not as smooth for me though, so I went back to the 2.3.3 version.

Thanks!

yes.. FFC works. As you know, blandroid has no Google apps pre-installed. There is a gapps package you use (same as with cyanogen). But that gapps package hasn't got the latest Talk.apk
You need to get the new version of Talk.apk yourself. I created a thread and posted a link here.
Blandroid 2.3.5p0
Very stable release! I get at least 20 hours with heavy use (3g on always)
Blandroid.org manually updated changelog
2011-09-10
2.3.5p0 released
2011-09-09
Imported CMScreenshot app from CyanogenMod and added a screenshot function to the global power menu. Now screenshots can be taken natively from anywhere by holding down the power menu and selecting "Take Screenshot". Screenshots show up as PNG files in the DCIM/Screenshots directory on the SD card.
Added a setting to disable showing failed lock patterns. Most useful when the "Use visible pattern" option is disabled.
Been using this myself for the past day, very fast, stable and smooth rom, I will be using this as my daily driver from now. Haven't cross any bugs yet.
I can't seem to get this to install from recovery. I always get installation aborted.
Any reason why? I seem to be stuck with Oxygen...
I wanted to ask this in the developers thread, but they said I needed 5 posts before I can post in the development sections. I downloaded the 12.18 ICS CM 9 rom, and I think its great. My question is where is android market, or how do I put apps on this thing?

It's downloadable via a seperate package called gapps (google apps). You can get it on the CM ( http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ ) site. You want the ics version of course. They may be running a specific gapps release (from the cm site), you'd have to search at least the last few pages of the thread.
There's also a.link on hashcodes site.

Thanks, ill look into it as soon as I get home from work...
A side note: For the alpha, I'm bundling GApps with the ROM. I know this is not common policy, however it will solve some issues with upgrading from build to build and I can keep GTalk out for the time being (it crashes continuously due to camera access).
I ran into that problem myself, forgot about loading the gapps i flashed back to liberty, I will try it again later tonight.
So do I just install the ics zip, and then go back into recovery and install the gapps zip?
Flash ICS and then the apps and do a wipe of data and cache.

Got it to work only thing I am hating is the camera not working. I tried using camera zoom fx but that didn't work either but I think its because its not compatible with ICS yet? But other then that I am loving it, it runs like butter.

No software camera will work until Hashcode re-writes the stock camera. All the after market camera applications run off the stock camera.

1. Afraid I can't comment on this. I know there is Linux support but unsure of what you mean by loop devices, i'm sure someone else will be able to help.
2. Personally my favourites are the jb roms specifically paranoid android or cm10. I'm currently on cm10 which is very stable. I love the flexibility of paranoid android though as you can set custom dpi's per app which is genius, but there are still a few bugs present.

So I had Jelly Bean on my N7 from factory. I decided to root it, and I used the toolkit to root it.
It reverted it to 4.1 and deleted everything (basically a stock flash) which was irritating, but I got it all set back up.
Just got a pop up to update it to 4.2.
What should I do?
If 4.1 is better, how do I make the pop up to update go away.
If 4.2 is better, will I maintain root through the update? If no, how can I, or reroot.
If 4.1 is better is kind of personal choice, most like the 4.2 update, some hate.
Technically it's better because it comes with new features but it also nixes a few like tablet UI and some of the new functions are still a bit buggy (esp. multiuser related things).
Not sure you can get rid of the update dialog permanentely.
If you just let the update go it's course you'll loose root - but that's not a problem, as you can simply re-root after the update.

I'm pretty sure I was already on 4.2 when I rooted it using the toolkit. If I do the update, and reroot, won't it drop me back down to 4.1 again?

Use ota rootkeeper app from the play store to keep root when updating. That's what I used and worked perfectly.

HI all, this thread answered most of the questions i had but one,
when i unlocked/rooted 4.1 i installed twrp then updated twrp with goomanager app ....now seeing as im on the newest twrp recovery i wont have any bootloops or anything when i click up update right?
anyone?
bump*
Bootloops have nothing to do with the recovery, they are usually caused by incompatible system data from a different ROM.
Since you'll be updating the "same ROM" to a newer version (stock 4.1.x to 4.2, if I go you right) everything should be fine.

Went ahead and did the update. It maintained root as far as I can tell...
Not 100% sure I had JB to begin with now...
jj92942000, I think I lost all my settings etc because I didn't do a back-up. I skipped that step like a moron.

This is what I know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The N7 gets a reset when you unlock the bootloader, not by rooting (flashing su.zip) or flashing a custom recovery.. This is supposed to be a "security feature" by Google.
The S3 comes with an already open bootloader. Furthermore other vendors might not have included this "security feature" in their phones/tablets.
I did the OTA update to 4.2 and did not lose root. Prior to update I was on stock 4.1 with Trinity kernel and rooted using nexus toolkit and CWMR. Only thing I had to do was flash back to stock 4.1 kernel as the OTA failed with Trinity, then using CWMR installed the update that was sat in the cache. At the end of flashing the update CWMR warned me that the ROM I was installing wanted to use its own recovery, click no to keep CWMR, then it warned that root may be lost, click yes to keep root.
No other apps needed and I'm now on stock 4.2 with root access. Only thing in have lost is my tablet interface from build prop tweaks. Once I find a way round that happy days!

Changing the lcd density so you get the full tablet view instead of this oversized phone ie phablet view. Not sure if it works on 4.2 though and haven't found the thread with the files to modify to try it out.

Hi,
I tried searching but the search here on XDA isn't working well for me, don't know why but I can only search once, after that the search box become un-clickable and I need to browse back and forward again to use the search again, did that a few times with no results.
Anyway, what I wanted to know is what is the exact newest Official Firmware version for the Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 (Regular, no letter after it)
my current version is I8190XXAME1, is there a newer version available? I'm having all sorts of strange problems and hoping a newer version exists that will solve them.
Thank you.
I assume I8190XXAMG4 is newer than I8190XXAME1, right?
That's the only thing I managed to find that looks newer, the firmware file is certainly from a newer date.
Go to sammobile, register an account select firmware, select download and then select gti8190. If you want to root this firmware use this:

A couple of day ago my phone froze, had to remove the battery to release the freeze, since then, my display language, which was Hebrew disappeared from the language selection list and even apps like morelocale 2 didn't work, only temporarily until the next restart of the phone.
After the upgrade the Hebrew returned to the list of languages as normal.
Also, lately touchwiz seems to crash a lot, didn't have it yet since the upgrade to the new version.
Ahh OK. My wife and my friends phone both have apparently common issues where the battery gets drained quicker then it should. I'm currently reviewing custom ROMs for my friends phone, not that many on this phone.

Oh yeah, that makes sense since the alphas betas and nightlies are pretty unstable - well then they make RCs and Stable versions which you can get with only benefits, but hey an opinion's an opinion, can't fight it.
