Noob question about using roms

I'm sure someone will be able to answer this super easily.
I'm new to rooting and ROMs, I just rooted my 4x hd yesterday and after being blown away at how easy it was, I'm now considering flashing a rom.
I've read around that you can get things that let you select the rom you want on boot. I was wondering if I could do this with the stock rom and cyanogenmod?
Do I have to partition the internal storage or something?
Also I'm pretty sure when you flash a new rom you loose apps and other data but can someone confirm this for me please?
And one final question. What's your favourite stable rom for the 4x hd? If I am able to switch between ROMs like that, I might add another I want to get close to vanilla if I can.
I am on version 20a stock rom android 4.2

'Favourite' ROM questions aren't allowed on XDA as you will get 12 different answers from 10 different people.

No, you're on v4.1.2 if you're running stock ROM. But you could have found all those answers by searching first.

[Q] Deference between CM10.1 and 10.2 ?

OK!!! Even in CM.10.1 i got problems with the stock browser.. and some videos cant play there... like wmv or compresed mp4. Why argues about the new 10.2 when even the old one needs upgrades. Can someone tell me what is the deference between this two roms.. for me it is just a number.
...i use GT-i9305 btw
and can someone offer me a good "composition" for LTE.. like rom, kernel... and stuff.

10.1 is 4.2.2 and 10.2 is 4.3,
There is no "best" rom its preference, i use ParanoidAndroid and Yank555 kernal if thats any help.
Theres a thread in the development area about what roms/kernals etc are out, so it offers quick links and you can pick which you want.

Try flashing Liquid smooth rom. It's based on CM 10.1 and I've been using it for several weeks but haven't found even a single bug yet. Everything's perfect with a lot of customization options.

10.1 has been around a lot longer so if you want a more bug free and stable experience I would go with that. If you just like playing with new things go with 10.2

[Q] Best Costum ROM for Galaxy S Advanced

Hi Friends ,
I have galaxy s advanced from last six months and during that time i have installed different custom roms on my mobile , Many roms are ported and originally not made for S-Advanced and causes lots of problem. I tried nearly every available custom rom and finally i settled on one rom but i will not mention name of that rom now. I just want to know your experience about this roms and please suggest best rom for our most loved Galaxy S -advance. Please don't give your suggestion by just reading others post, give your suggestion only if you have tried it.

This is not a constructive post. Comparing ROM's and the dev's is not a good thing.

Not only is it not a good thing but it is prohibited here in XDA to compare roms. The mods will definitely close this thread soon.
To the OP, you should read the thread of the rom and search in general section there are already lots of threads like this. And all was shut down by forum mods but you can still read the reviews/comments.
My advice: Read, read and read. Even if you think you have read enough, just keep reading.

I think this thread can help s advance users in a way..
Everybody has there views. People use what works best, if this thread gives a little knowledge in that means. Then that's good.
Comparing ROMS n DEV's is totally diff thing. Few devs of not so popular ROM n modify to request immediately, n devs of best ROM r hidden God. So I feel it's not the point here. It can b a little helpful thread n that's what this forum is bout, increasing knowledge, atleast I feel so.
Rest moderators knows the best..

Sorry if anybody hurt,
Sorry if anybody hurt because of this post. I have tested all this 15 roms. I am not hardcore android develper, i am basically wed deveopler but i wanted to try every available rom for my device and wanted to stay in touch with this new development. I am tracking nearly all in I9070 section for long time and keep testing everything. I bricked my phone more than 10 times but i learned a lot. But i know many testers visit this site , try 1 or 2 popular roms and when this roms not works upto there expectation or keep crashing they stop testing and return to stock . I just wanted to give those many persons like me this available options and want there reviews on this different roms. I have given links to all roms so they can download them. Many ROMs are very good but not popular or neglected. So please post your reviews only after testing them.

There is no point of comparing devs or ROMs. People use what is best. Xperia z ultra is far superior dan GS4. But that doesn't mean that GS4 is bad. This is just a kind of review. I am very satisfied with Light JB 1.2 except few minor bugs.

Dear Sir,
I never wanted to criticize any rom , i just wanted to help other visitors and testers to find available roms and i want them to test this roms . All roms listed above are very nice but some of them are vastly neglected , i thought this post might help those roms to become popular and which might lead us to perfect rom for our beloved galaxy S-advanced. Many developers stopped there development and or concentrating other project just because there rom is not popular. I never thought this will hurt others . Putting that poll along with this post is my biggest mistake

CM rule: No ETA's. With that being said, current nightly of cm10.1 is good and can be used as daily driver if you don't mind:
1. Wifi tether and wifi direct not working.
2. Blurry image and video hangs on latest youtube (the app fault not the rom, you have to use older version of youtube and it works fine).
3. Camera bug in instagram (but just take the pic first and later edit in instagram and post. I always do that anyway so it doesn't matter at all).
4. Battery issue (can't charge offline).
5. GPS (you hve to calibrate it first then it works just fine).
Choice is yours. :good:

I tried it once...was too laggy and the antutu score came down to 4500 from 7000.I'm now using stock with cocore 7.6 antutu score has gone upto 9200.which one do u suggest? Custom rom or keep using stock?

Hey Friend If You Are Looking For Stable ROM you should Stick To Custom ROM,
For Our Galaxy S Advanced There Is No Official Custom ROM, All ROMS come with Some Bugs.
If You Want New Feature In Your Device You Have To Compromise With Stability.
Some Stock Firmware Based ROM are More Stable Like Galexperia But Don't Come With Much Extra Feature.
CM10.0 Is Now Very Much Developed and stable.
Diegio working hard on CM10.1 and I M Sure He Will Release Final Version Very Soon. Untill now 21/06 is more stable than others according to me.

Thanks bro

Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for GT i9305

Hello,
I just recently rooted my Samsung GT i9305 and completed a nandroid backup on CWM. I was wondering if I could still use the Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for Samsung GT i9305. I've tried flashing it and gave me Installation Error 7, which basically means that CWM checked the rom and wasn't the right rom for GT i9305. Is there a fix for the Error 7 or should I just get another ROM instead? Any Android L look alternatives? Hazy Rom is one but thats for GT i9300 aswell :/

This may sound naive, but why are developers having such a hard time building ROMS for the the LTE International Version of the GS3 when, compared to the i9300 model, is exactly the same (but of course we have more 1GB more RAM). All the ROMS for the i9305 model are all very dated. Kit Kat is know history, please bring Lollipop to the i9305! Loving material design by the way Good on ya Google!:good

Yeah I saw pics of PA and I was addicted! But I checked their site and the i9300 was part of their "legacy" program, maintaining Paranoid for i9300 International and US users. Therefore, I doubt they will make one for i9305 since two years is probably the ending time for OS updates, but of course its different for custom ROMS. I still hope that they do develop one though :/ But don't get your hope up.

Really?! I didn't know that we had PA? But it would make sense when they created the ROM for i9300 that they would make one for the i9305. But that really is a pity. So are there anyone on xda willing to build on PA? As you said, I think there may be building problems with PA so people may be unmotivated to build it.
