[Q] cm11: wich one ? stock or special kernel ? - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Probably answered somewhere but didn't find. I'd like to try cm11 and I have some basic questions:
- First one is : does it worth it to unlock BL ? I imagine a special cm11 kernel is better than the stock one for 4.3. Is it really the case ?
- If it's the case, is it better to use cm11 kernel or an other one ?
- And then, which cm11 or cm11 based rom is better (stable and battery friendly)
Thanks.

From what I have read the CyanogenMod for Locked Bootloaders is more stable... And this is because of the kernel.
However a point of attention:
Threads with the question: "What is the best rom or kernel" are not allowed here.

Ok for the "best rom" not allowed but trying each kitkat rom with each kernel will take a while ...
So if someone knows that at the present time "this one" with this kernel does not reboot all the time and does not eat battery it's not so bad, no ?
And your answer is in this way: first point is that kikat based rom with stock kernel are known as more stable. Perfect.
I don't understand very well this prohibition.

Williams, Stock and Nayyak runs ok with cm roms

Hi there,
I am ussing experianze v3 and for now is the best I have tried, so try it! hehe
PC

Today, the most stable and battery friendly KK ROM, which is CM based, is Paranoid ROM.
P-A-C is a good one aswell but since it has more bells and whistles it's less battery friendly. (More wakelocks)

Thank you guys. Will make a try this weekend.

any clue?

I'm now running cm11 LBL, latest build (08-24) from MrSteve555 and it's working very fine.
Also heard about an app on Play Store to boost sound: alsamixer

Best rom/kernel threads are not allowed.
Please head over to the development sections and try these out for yourself.
You should also read the threads to find out if there are any issues in the ROM for yourself.

Indeed, this is a development subforum.
broodROM
Cranium
Cryberts ROM
ANDROIDS REVOLUTION
I9001XXKPG 2.3.5 Gingerbread Deodex by Astap for MultiDownloader
CyMod ROM
UCM GingerBread Rom
these are the roms available.
afaik you can configure each one of them with not much effort so that it has the functions of another of the roms by changing kernel or adding or deleting tweaks. if there was a rom which would be "better" there wouldn't be any other roms.
i think they're pretty much the same.
only to broodROM alone the total posts are 2338 so far
where to start and what to read ??
anyway thank you for your replies anyhow.

i dont want to sound rude or "cleverish"
but should this development reach somewhere or it should be develpment for the sake of developing ??? i am a bit confused ??
it shouldnt reach to a rom that it should be stable (or any other criteria that one looks for ??)
i am just wondering ?
have people in programming lost the connection to the real purpose of the items in question , which is to communicate. ?
i dont know guys i am just wondering ??
the big picture is:
everyone develops what he wants to but simultaneously everyone looks at what other developers do and adopt their features or mods for themselves to have a good rom in the end. thats why i think the roms are all kind of the same. you can use a cranium kernel for brood rom and (in some cases) use the broodrom configurator for cranium rom or use thunderbolt for any of our roms. i don't think this is bad.

Yeh that's true, since we only have Samsung ROMS as base ROMS we don't have much choice , also for the configurator, it was actually built for XXKPS but it seems KPG (not sure), KPS, KPU and QK1 use the "same" framework, ZSKP6/7 is other tho
I suggest you try broodROM RC 3 with FeaCore kernel and thunder bolt.It's smoother than CraniumROM (tried) and my battery goes up to two and a half days on broodROM.Haven't tried it on Cranium.Didn't like it from the beginning.

Looking for a stable rom for my 70 year old Father

Hello I am looking for a Rom that will not freeze up. A stable and fast Rom and Kernel combo. My father is 70 and when it freezes up on him you can imagine the distress and 20 phone calls i receive from him. Please can someone advice on the most stable rom there is on xda for the i9000. I am more concerned about stability than speed. Altho a bit of both would be nice. Even if I could have one with the latest firmware and still be stable would be a bonus. But i do understand the limits with the hardware and porting issues.
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Edit: This post needs moving to Q&A sorry to the forum admins.
none, use stock untouched firmware

Problem is he is on stock and it keeps freezing why I thought a custom rom may be a better option.

You can flash cm10.1 rc2 for more stable rom, cm10.1 is better than cm10.0

semaphore kernel one of the best kernel for sgs, and im using it as u can see in my sign. but because its for your father i prefer to stay with stock, or you can use semaphore its v.stable but don't use live oc because its phone independent and may cause soft reboot
I installed it and wow its fast. Also how nice is CM10. I slapped gapps on top to cos he uses gmail play etc. I can't believe I have never bothered with AOSP Roms before. It's going on my i9300 tonight. Stunning! Thanks again for your help.

Well I switched because I flashed the latest version but didnt really like it. It wasnt as responsive as before and I couldn't find v1 on my computer (which IMHO was the best). About the bug, yes it is true although it is supposed to be fixed in the latest update (might be touch and go though). As an all rounder daily driver, its probably the better AOSP 4.2.2 out there because 1. AOSP 4.2.2 is virtually down to CyanVivo10.1 and PACman 2. CM10.1 by dla5244 and AOKP have been pretty much stopped and 3. its more stable than PACman (which is pretty much all I need in a ROM). Please keep in mind that battery life will be good to a certain extent. In almost all Android 4.0+ ROMs that i have used, Sense ROMs tend to have the better battery life. I would suggest trying multiple ROMs (Sense or AOSP) to see what you value most in a ROM. From there, you can take a choice to see which u like best. My preference goes to Team Blackout for their Blackout ROM v3.2 (great battery life, stable, and its still got a good number of mods that you can add although it is discontinued for us)

[ROM][MIUI V5][JB 4.1.2] MIUI V5 UnOfficial for SHV-E120S

Hi MIUI Fans:
This thread is not in progress anymore ... coz I changed my phone a long time ago and I don't have this device now...
But no need to be sad coz ... MIUI has included this phone in its list and Ported ROM is available for this device...
And not only this but all the 3 devices have MIUI now ... SHV-E120S/K/L....
Here is the link Ported MIUI from the official site ...
Hope you enjoy

Hey friends,
For those of you who have been waiting, here is the good news.
I am so glad to present the latest (not exactly, but not old either) MIUI V5 3.8.2 for our SHV-E120S S2 HD device.
Whats working:
Seriously speaking I have not done a explicit testing on this build, but have briefly gone through almost all the things and found those to be working. :good:
Whats not working:
There is no keyboard installed by default. You need to skip all the settings in the beginning and then you can install a JB keyboard and then setup your phone.
Problems:
I found the Camera app not fully functional. If you want to simply click pictures then its working great. But I found a few problems while video recording. The speed at which the camera takes photos is pretty quick and for the video is pretty laggy.
NOTE:
1. I am not the creator of this ROM, I have simply ported it to our device.
2. Make sure you have taken the necessary backup of your existing ROM before flashing this one.
Flashing Process:
1. Copy the downloaded file to your sd card where you can access it easily.
2. Boot into recovery and take a backup of your existing system (in case any thing goes wrong)
3. Cleaning up
3a. Wipe data/factory reset
3b. Wipe cache partition
3c. Go to Advanced option and wip dalvik cache
4. Choose install zip and point it to the location where you copied the downloaded miui zip. It will take around 2 mins.
5. Repeat steps 3a, 3b and 3c.
6. Reboot your device.
While starting for the first time it may take some time and any subsequent restarts will be much faster.
WARNING:
And I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device. Please flash this at your own risk.
Although I flashed the same and had no problems at all. I have experienced a good battery backup with this ROM.
Those who flash this ROM, please share your experience with others. And it would be great if someone could put up a video of the flashing process and the performance of the phone once you have flashed the ROM.
Without any further delay here is the download link for the same:
Build 01: 2013_08_20
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BycWzcfvhoryUEd4Nnk1SXZQS28/edit?usp=sharing
Build 02: Coming Soon...
But I would need people to test it once.... coz I don't have enough time to test it.
Also if anyone would like to see the screenshots, you can find those here:
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/za31zscots5b5/MIUI_V5_ROM
Happy Downloading, and please hit the Thanks button if you like my work. I just hope if works for you all
Lastly I would like to thank
MIUI team, MIUIAndroid team, osm0sis and Tinus81 (the link you gave did the trick ) for helping me out.
Thank you.

NO!!
I don't exactly know how these devices (E120S, E120L & E120K) are different from each other...but please don't do any such thing...
You could brick your device (just guessing)....
Search a ROM for your device and i am sure you will find one....I would be very happy to port this rom for other models like yours....but i don't have that device to test the same....
Thanks
Hi shrewdy I just bought a brand new SHV-E120S from ebay it should arrive tomrorrow so I am just downloading your rom ready.
I have been reading contradicting specs for this phone can you confirm what bands it actually supports ?
From what I can tell I can get gsm and 3g here in the uk but possibly lte because some sites say it supports 3 lte bands and some say just 850mhz
Would you say best option is to flash stock ics then cwm then this rom ?

Hey Buddy,
you can find more information about the phone at this link http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_hd_lte-4198.php
The stock roms are not good enough for this phone....actually speaking none of the ROMs are absolutely perfect for this phone...coz there are not many developers who know about this device.
The phone itself is quite a capable device but its a sad thing that no one supports the phone directly...so people like us have no choice but to port different roms which i must say are not so perfect...
Anyways there are a handful of ROMs available for this device...you can try each one and see which suits you....I really need the camera working absolutely fine and so i use iR2 ROM (Version 3)...
Hope you find answers to your questions.
Thanks.

Yes shame there is not much of a following on this phone it looks good and was ahead of its time !
It would also be good if someone had the time to put in a thread all the different roms, download links what versions etc on main page here............as there are not many I guess it won't take long !
Yes I saw the specs on GSMARENNA but some say they are wrong regarding the bands that are on the SHV-E120S..........anwyay mine has arrived so its time to unbox and flash !
Do you have a dwonload link for the rom you recommend ? Does everything work ? From reading it appears that FOXROM is about as bear perfect as you can get ? but its ICS.

Thanks for the links..............I put a modified stock version on last night and it seems to be stable but very battery hungry so I intend on trying the IR32 tonight which I am hoping is much better ! It didn't download in time !
Shrewdy I think the ROM I tried it was one you posted you tried because it was a zip of a MD5 file with your initials in the file name.
Also just to report for anyone in the uk who purchases this phone it appears that becaus the phone only gets 1 out of the 2 3g bands you can only obtain 3g speeds no H at all unless of course its the rom I am using.
I think the build quality of the phone is a lot better than the S3 and looks more expensive !
If I can get the battery lasting a day then I will be happy I am not bothered about the 4g or H speeds really thats what we hav WIFI for

Now i am not sure if things work for you if you download the language pack and apply it to this rom...i dont know what will happen...
Hope something works for you...

Shrewdy, I recently buy one of this one (E120S) and I've been looking for a better rom that "full of bloatware" official one. I know you're experienced a lot with this device, so my question is simple: is still this ROM the best stable and compatibility version that you have used? I know this is a noob question, but since your original post is in August, maybe you have a better experience with new a ROM.
About the camera, have you solved the lag during video taking?
Thanks for your answers!!!

Bro... this rom (MIUI 3.8.2) is not the most stable version... My rom is based on the MIUI's Development version which is probably never stable.
If you want a stable rom (which i dont think there is...) it is SVN ROM 1.2... this is the fastest, smoothest and most stable rom i have used until now on my shv-e120s.
Try that rom i am sure you will like it.

Thanks for that suggestion! I've reading for your post in several threads of forums-xda, and I found you put some links about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45496210&postcount=54)... Now, is this ROM in english (or multilingual)? Because I couldn't find any information in the translated chinese post that you provided. And the other question is, what about the patches that you mention in your thread? They are specially good for something??
Thanks for your thoughts!

I find the same bug on all custom roms regardless of the Baseband I have flashed from stock I will test the latest baseband SHV-E120K[MK1]. here is a thread for the MIUI versions for L, S and K versions here Latest K and S versions are 3.11.22 L version is 3.7.12 Try this link here

LOST in a sea of roms

Hi there.
I been spending several hours reading user's opinions about several roms for the xsp.
I saw plenty of unofficial roms based on cyanogenmod official roms. And the question that pops into my mind it's.
Why so many mods? People doesn't like the official releases?
Also I been reading that 5.1 roms are laggy, and in a custom rom i'm looking for stability and performance.
Maybe I should go for and official cyanogenmod 11 rom?
Maybe for a stock based rom?
What do you think?
Hello.
Yes, there is a lot of rom for SP. But just a few work as it supposed to.
Lollipop it is in his nightly stage, though is very stable and the most recent apps, you will be able to use.
There is too a recent patch for security, we should take in consideration, Im using myself as a daily driver without problems, nevertheless still have some minor bugs, but nothing that cant make you wish to throw your SP on wall
If you want to test and see how looks like, I would recommend Sabermod Unofficial Or CM 12.1 Official Nightly
cm12.1+ addons imo cuz it's my second full month on it and it never failed me ....no problems for me and great performance

battery is good too yep
Go for CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies with addons...Its Best for lollipop based ROMs.
You can try unofficial CM13 also if you can use the phone without camera. Battery life and performance of CM13 is far better than cm 12.1.
To be honest, is a matter of usage and preference. For me it was working fine but my phone got way too hot for my taste, but the deal breaker was that no matter what lolipop ROM I used facebook HD playback was choppy as hell. I know that it sounds silly but that's something that I need. None of these issues exist on stock, of course (C5306 - 1.205)
I think the Sabermod unofficial takes the lead on cm12.1 ... Great battery and butter smooth. I think it' s the for performance and battery !
I use official CM11 slimmed by me, without gapps, disabled LogCat, little modified build.prop + WilliamsPLUS and I'm really happy ; p
which 5.1 rom has fewer lag and more batterylife?
@beodo
A sea of roms but many of them are discontinued or not updated, so first check that one.
As fellow members said CyanogenMod 12.1 Unofficial SaberMod with add ons is the best right now for me as well, very fast, really fluid,stable and good battery life, in is some parts is even better than the latest official stock rom.
I m using this rom for over a month and i love it.
If you need even better battery life you could use Helium kernel (just dirty flash at recovery) and enable conservative governor, if you would like to take it further you can also install xposed framework which unlocks you much more features like power saving better experience, extra customization and more.
All of the above are continuously updated and supported by our great developers too :good:
@iceweek
The above answers you question as well
Thinking about trying this one.

Is this one stable for daily use?
Also, do I have to download Latest Xperia Apps Installer.zip if I am using latest ultimate zip?
Please reply.
