hi,
ive been checking the developement sections and i haven't noticed any new roms. there are updates for previous roms but no new roms? someone else should give gb sense a shot
GF has a 7" tab running the stock telstra rom, is it as simple as getting the a stock rom package and loading it via odin like i do with my sgs2 ?
if so what is the latest stock rom for this device and can anyone link me to these.
many thanks.
I remembered seeing something on this some time ago, please review this thread:

It's dated back to February 2011 so this will probably be a Froyo kernel but should cover getting you all the way back to "orginal" stock. From there, most recommendations in the thread (and others) are to get the latest stock via the Samsung Kies utility. If you don't have Kies... just doing a google search on "Samsung Kies" should get you to plenty of download links.
If you are interested in a custom ROM, you should review this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
It does look like it's for froyo version of the Overcome kernel... but if you also search the Galaxy Tab Android Development forum for "Overcome 4.0" or "Overcome 4.1" you should be able to get connected with that latest in custom GB kernels.
The threads do have thorough (if sometimes a little complicated) instructions.

Snap! Just saw I forgot the 2nd thread. Its:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
For custom kernels, there are 2 kernels that I personally like, AF974 and Overcome.
You can choose either one.

Hi there, I want to upgrade my SGS to ICS, seen some threads, read some but still I'm not too sure from where I should start, what should I load and what tutorial from here is the most usefull.
I would like someone to point me towards a simple, yet working tutorial on how to install ICS. Thanks!
Hey,
just check out the development section, look especially for teamhacksung ROM.
I did it the following way:
Base: SGS with latest stock-rom
0. Backup your data
1. Install CM7.1
therefor head over to cyanogenmod, a detailed description is given there. At a glance: install root-kernel, install cm7, do the wipes
2. just install the ics rom from teamhacksung or other via cwm-recovery as described in teamhacksung-thread and do the wipes.
Of course it's possible that something goes wrong, but I've tested already several new roms and nothing went wrong...
Can you post some download links for roms, flashes etc.?

Hi, I am new to this Sensation XL XDA forum.
i have had SXL for about 3month or maybe more, and still haven't done any tweaks(root, custom rom, etc)
And the things i want to know is
is it good to change from stock rom to custom rom? is it faster and battery can last longer?
which custom rom is the most stable one?
and can i still update to official HTC ICS update(when it comes) after i install custom rom?
and what is the difference between sense 3.5 and 3.6?
Thanks
Custom ROMs are aftermarket ROMs created by developers that are tweaked or enhanced by the developer or are ported over from another device. These custom ROMs can sometimes offer tweaks to UI, speed, battery life enhancements and mods/tweaks to enhance user experience.
The difference between sense 3.5 and sense 3.6 is that sense 3.6 is based on android 4.0 but the design apart from the dock at the bottom is mainly based on the UI of sense 3.5.
To recieve the official ICS update you will have to (to the best of my knowledge) re-lock the bootloader and flash a stock HTC ruu or rom to recieve the update.
As for the most stable ROM i would have to say any of the BinDroid/CoreDroid ROMs Runny-Bliss by Alex-V or for Android 4.0/ICS Zombi.eSandwich

Thanks for your replied
But is it better to change stock rom to the custom ones you mentioned?
and do you use custom rom?
The ROMs I mentioned are from my personal experience. And yes I.do use a custom ROM I am currently using the Three musketeers sense 4 ROM I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner as.it is a beta and has a.few.bugs

Please move to q&a section. Custom option is for users who want that bit extra from their device which they cannot get with a stock rom. There are many restriction within stock roms which limit your user experience. With custom roms and kernels you get to use your device they way you want to and can also manipulate it to your personal taste. Many of the roms in here are stable enough and a few like miui and sense 4 are WIP. Once you are up to speed you can give those a try and post your findings

Custom ROM
If this is your first dabbling into custom roms i would strongly suggest as stable rom as possible. If you are mainly looking for increased speed and longer battery i would recommend an older gingerbread rom. Since gingerbread is older, devs have had a lot more time to perfect roms based on gingerbread.
Hi, I'm new to rooting androids, I'm using a HTC One 801s (M7_UL) from Singapore:
Is it possible to flash a ROM for M7 on my M7UL without causing any damage? I want to flash the new CM11 but my camera doesn't work and I suspect it is due to the fact that it was not updated since Jan 2014...
Hey mate, camera should work fine on cm11 but if you can't find a stable version of cm11 drop down to like the latest stable version of cm10. Also Android Revolution HD make some amazing roms they are mainly the same as the stock but come with xposed installer and rooted so you can customise the interface more. If you flash the roms correctly you won't damage your phone, just make sure you follow instructions. Google play edition Rom for m7 is average, I didn't like Google play edition myself as it was too plain and boring. Sense based ARHD roms I have found to be the best though. Google them hope I helped a bit

ARHD comes with Sense toolbox also which adds further customizations to the basic stock sense roms. Sense toolbox is the best. Just know that the HTC sense camera app is better than the ones you will get on stock android based roms and you will also lose BlinkFeed on those stock android roms. Check it out!

Thanks so much man! But my question still stands, if the ROMS I want have the m7 version but not the m7ul, can I still flash them safely?

Their are no M7 only roms on this forum, but before flashing anything you need to read the instructions and support list for each Rom you intend to flash, most of the guys on here have the M7_UL and a few with the M7_U however they still build there roms on the UL base, if you did happen to find one you wanted to use that was M7_U only then it would work but you would loose LTE functionality.
I've only installed roms that support my specific m7 model myself just to be safe. Thing is, to flash a Rom that's for a different model, you would most likely have to get s-off on your phone and change your phone's model id and perhaps cid before the phone will accept the Rom. Take for example, when I installed Google play edition, had to unlock bootloader, root, custom recovery, gain s-off, install a different hboot, change model id and cid before being able to flash the Rom, because if my model I'd didn't appear as GOOG then the flash would fail. What Rom were you after that doesn't support your current phone model?
