Hello everyone After selling my xperia u I got this cellphone which is At&T branded .... I was running gingerDX on my xperia x8 a long time ago then I installed some custom roms on xperia U as well after unlocking it's bootloader and installing custom kernels etc. I sold xperia U as it was a bit slow for me....
Now the question I want to ask is : what are some good roms (without any bugs) fast and stable for this cellphone ? right now I'm on Android 4.1.1 official ... is it good enough if I only root it or should I go for a custom kernel / Rom and what is the easiest method to root it ?

Arrgh kernel for photon Q LTE works for our phone too, best and only(?) custom kernel we have besides N8 (only for 4.2.2 ROMs). Carbon, CM 10.2, PACman, and HoloBlur are my personal best experiences with this phone.

Carbon 4.3 nighlies by far the best and most stable

As for rooting and unlocking bootloader plus flashing a custom recovery, the Myth Tools program for Atrix HD has all those 3 things wrapped into one easy executable.

Thank Neighbor808 if you provide 2, 3 links for roms and the link to kernel I'll be thankful to you.. as I don't want to risk anything here as I'm new to Motorola world

Make sure you get CM 10.2 kernel for non stock based. Don't flash the kernel of the date of your nighty is later than the kernel (Oct 2 so far). It gets updated regularly.

I can't figure out which kernel to download ASA / FFW ? I've downloaded Oct 2 version of carbon ROM, any thread with it's screenshots and features etc ?
Please also tell in which sequence I should do the procedure ? like : root > recovery > Unlock Bootloader > kernel and then rom ?
Root, unlock bootloader, recovery, backup current rom, wipe data and system, flash rom then kernel.

Deeje is spot on. As for which kernel to download, Post #2 contains the kernels for STOCK or Stock-based ROMs. All of the ROMs I linked to you are CM-Based except for HoloBlur, which is stock based (but it already comes with Arrgggh kernel so don't worry about that). The thread clearly states:
ASA-36 (Original 4.0.4 ICS firmware)
ASA-14 (Final 4.0.4 ICS firmware)
FFW-5 (Latest 4.1.2 JB firmware)
Pretty much the only stock kernel you're ever going to need unless you fastboot flash back to ICS is FFW-5.
Post #5 contains the kernels for CM-Based ROMs (Pretty much all the ROMs out there that aren't stock based). The CM 10.1 Kernel is for Android Version 4.2.2 ROMs, while the CM 10.2 kernel is for Android Version 4.3 ROMs. If you are flashing Carbon October 2 nightly, that is Android 4.3, so you will flash the CM 10.2 edition.
Here's links for the standalone posts to make sure you know where you're going...

By the way, check Atrix HD Development section, has all of our ROMs + screenshots and explains features.
Thanks alot homie this explains everything now tell me some good features of Carbon / Pacman Roms so I consider flashing ?
Carbon is basically CyanogenMod with some great Paranoid Android features added in (like Halo, PIE, navbar customization, etc.) . Smooth, reliable, great battery. PACman is a combination of 3 popular ROMs (Paranoid Android, AOKP, CyanogenMod) and has pretty much every feature you can think of. Highly customizable, but has a few minor bugs and slightly worse battery. Carbon is more stable but not by a whole lot.

Can I flash latest carbon nightly builds if my kernel date is earlier?

Yes, you can. Just take latest kernel currently - Oct 23 2013 CM10.2 and latest Carbon rom from here (*Currently there are some problems on goo.im*) or here.
Kernel and rom date should be close as possible to avoid problems.
If there will be newer kernel then it might not work if rom is older than kernel but even then if there are any problem you can just re-flash earlier kernel. Although you don't really have to mess with kernel at first. Carbon actually come with a working kernel (latest build have mattmanwrx kernel) but it doesn't support overclocking/undervolting.
Ohh, and don't forget to flash gapps if you need them..
Thanks mate... for me most stable versions of kernel and roms are : 7 oct 2013..... I don't want to change them untill something really big comes out....I don't like overclocking as ATRIX HD is fast enough already with or even without pureperformance mod but I see battery improvements via that mod or maybe that's "Greenify" app that I'm using...

What is the best android version software officially and unofficially for stability, speed and battery life on I9070 and how to install it?

(Official "Samsung" firmware)
- In terms of Battery life, the official Gingerbread (2.3.6) firmware is the best in my opinion...
- In terms of more features, performance enhancements and improvement, the official Jellybean (4.1.2) firmware is better
(ROMs based on Official "Samsung" firmware)
- JetMOD is the one and the only "best" ROM that is based on Gingerbread firmware for Gingerbread users..
- Sami OS, HarshJelly, LightJB, JellyMOD, etc. are the best custom ROMs for Jellybean users...
(Unofficial ROMs and Builds)
We've got CM (10, 10.1 and 10.2), PAC, MIUI (v4 and v5), Paranoid, Carbon, etc.. BUT they are all in Alpha stage (as far as I know, but they are still usable.. so expect a few bumps and hiccups.. for more info check their respective threads)
For more info, checkout this and this :good:
PS: Asking questions like "what's the best ROM, X or Y?" isn't allowed.. because they are all products of their developer's hardwork.. plus the answer varies from person to person

Hi all, i'm searching for a stable ROM for my new GT-8910N, possibly with NFC support.
I've read about Maclaw's ROM, but i don't know what to choose, i need your help.
I'm coming from Nexus HD2 by tytung CM 10.2, and now the stock ROM 4.1.2 is a back step.
I want to upgrade to a stable ROM for a daily use, also for my wife's phone.
My phone details:
GT-8910N
ANDROID 4.1.2
BASE BAND I8910NXXALL6
KERNEL 3.0.31-742346
BUILD JZO54K.I8910NXXALL6
Thanks in advance from Italy.
Hi bud, look if you want a ROM receiving the NFC support you better stick to stock rom or a custom one based in stock 'cause Maclaw's roms don't support NFC feature yet, well, that being said I've been since the beginning only with AOSP based roms so I don't really know which customs roms are out there that support the NFC feature but I think Dmod, Benz and Virginity roms support it you can check them out in the Android Development section, greetings man.

Anyone To help ??
No one cares i'll try and do it my self :crying: :silly:
10.2.1 is very good in daily use and stable, but I can recommend Mackay ICS 1.7. IMO the fastest build for our SGS. It miss some unique features from Android Jelly Bean but works a bit smoother.
Every time I downgrade version of Android I flash 2.3.6 JVZ by Odin, then CF-Root. Finally I install clean build by CWM. No problems so far.

I have CM11.0, works great on my old Galaxy S.
I think 4.4 is more adapted to small memory devices then 4.3
Never tried CM 10, but CM11M6-CM11M8 is faster / more stable then any stockrom I had. Feels like a new device.
IMHO Updating GB 2.3.6 to CM11.0 M8 is a no brainer.
So I've tried all of the cyanogenmod 11 ROM files I could find and all of them have led to a bootloop. Maybe someone could come up with a reason as to why this keeps happening.
Maybe I should give up on cyanogenmod and find a different ROM to try. I am pretty confident that I did everything correctly but it never works.
BTW I am new to rooting and flashing ROMs and all of that stuff.
If you're trying the official CM nightlies or M builds, you need to be on the JB baseband. They haven't updated to true KK source yet so if you're running a KK baseband, they won't boot. The only other ROM that's still using JB stuff is Dirty Unicorns. So you could try literally any other ROM and it would work fine. There's an unofficial CM11 build based on KK source in the VZW android dev section. That one should boot for you. But official CM will not unless you flash a JB baseband, which isn't worth it.
Presently what is the best stable Rom ( Cm 11/12.1/13) for Galaxy S Advance ?
I have tried almost all the Roms. Presently I am on Cm 13 by Epirex. I am on the first build. Tried the second build, but changed it due to freezing of screen.
Please suggest so that I do not have to change Roms very often.
I'm currently using Modded CyanogenMod 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/rom-modded-cyanogenmod-11-t3387424) and it's very stable, give it a try.
I'm currently using Revolution ROM UX..based on stock jellybean..it fast LOL
I've tried almost every rom for S Advance.
If we are talking about cyanogenmod only, then "Modded CyanogenMod 11" is the most stable.
But the best rom I've tried is a stock based one, named "Leggera", nothing is more stable. You can find it here: http://www.androidiani.com/forum/mo...9070-jb-4-1-2-leggera-gargaros-s-advance.html (if you want I can help with translating the page)
This is my opinion.
As a previously user of S Advance aka janice, for me SamiOS + cocore kernel 8.2 was best (you can try mkaluza kernel too).
There are some other good roms too:
1) AOSP by JTeam
2) VanirAOSP by mkaluza
3) CM 10.2 . There's a build which some people claimed to be the most stable cm.
NOTE: I haven't tried any new rom since that time, because I didn't had to
