Hey guys,
I know that this kind of thread is not allowed here, but I really need your help.
My girlfriend has an i8190, stock (with Vodafone Portugal's firmware), but now the phone is getting really slow, and with some annoying bugs (sometimes the status bar stops working).
So I was thinking of installing a custom ROM on her phone. But the thing is... Right now, I'm with her only at weekends, so I can't install a custom ROM with bugs, lots of random reboots, etc.
My question is: should I install a custom ROM, or is it better to reinstall the stock ROM (maybe the debloated version)?
Thanks!
I'm not sure about that model, if it has NFC it won't work on any custom rom Samsung never released the driver, everything else is working at least for me I use pac rom because of customization but I would recommend Omni Rom or Cyanogenmod 11 because of stability in pac rom I have a bug that connects/disconnects the phone while plugged to the PC, and I haven't had reboots with custom rom in months,I prefer custom instead of stock mainly because I had reboots in stock and lag

Hello guys,
I recently installed latest paranoid jelly bean cm10 coming from paranoid 0.5 ics and I am experiencing HUUUGE bugs and force closes and all that stuff.. I tried reinstalling everything with complete data wipe etc but still the same.
So I just want to know what is the safest and the best way to do a complete clean install of ICS. Or even jelly bean if someone knows some stable roms that can be used daily.
Thank you!
If you are new to these stuff and better stuck with stock ROM for some time.
Best way to go clean is Flash GB ROM, wipe completely.
flash stock ICS, root it and flash safe kernel and enjoy it for some time, before moving to custom ROM.
so far the best and still the most stable ICS Rom I know is the stock Samsung ICS TW 4.0.4. Most custom ROMs have their share still of kinks and bugs so that it's expected some way or the other. That's the reason why there are always ROM updates on most custom ROMS out there (primarily to fix the bugs on the previous version)
I'm new to this Galaxy Note device and a bit confused about some requirements i read about flashing roms.
Several makes mention about that it works only for a specific kernel. How do I find out which kernel I have?
The phone currently is on paranoandroid 4.2.2 custom rom. Since it's a bit lagging, i want to flash it to a new better rom.
I'm unsure if I can simply download any custom rom and flash it or should I flash a specific kernel prior?
Also if you have any recommended rom with stock s-pen functionality would be great.
Thanks.
you can download any rom of you choice and flash as its on a good kernel. for Spen you will need to stick with TW custom roms or stock roms

In simple terms stock based roms will use the Sony skin and many of Sony's apps - typically the developer will have tweaked the build to improve performance or used the most recent version of Sony apps from higher end devices (the Z1 for example). They may also add some extra features - (using the volume buttons to skip music tracks/advanced reboot menu).
Custom Roms won't have any of the Sony features and generally will be closer to unskinned AOSP (Android Open Source Project) in appearance. They will mostly have some unquie features and be more options for customisation than a stock based ROM. Developers can also release higher versions of Android than Sony, allowing the user to experience Kit Kat long before Sony release a build. They tend to perform better than stock builds because they are less bloated. Sony has significant facebook integration within it's builds for example, similarly whilst it's possible to ignore it, there is a lot of secondary marketing within a Sony build trying to get you to use their music/video/games services. Most of these apps are heavy, slowing down the device. The SP copes fine, but their are definitely smoother custom roms out there.
Ok thanks !

No, I am not asking for the best rom. I am going to give this phone to a family relative of mine as I have the z ultra.
I would like to strap a error/bug free rom, should I go straight to stock rom? The most irritating issue I have had with CM based roms is that the phone suddenly did not recognize the SIM and the user had to unlock the sim. A huge issue for me and a big no no.
Any alternatives to stock rom?
As far as I remember stock rom ,rooted ,is the best experience for this phone.
CM 10.1.3 Stable 4.2.2 release.
i'd recommend stock rom, or stock-based debloated rom like zaiben. good luck :good:
Hey guys, when I use custom vanilla android based roms(tried cm, aokp, neowave) I constantly get about 5 reboots every day and this is very annoying. However when I use Xperia stock or stock based based roms (PXB works really well) these reboots don't happen. Other people are running roms like cm fine on their XV's , so it isn't a problem with the rom itself I think. I really prefer clean, not customized roms rather than xperia ui. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do to make them stable on my phone and not reboot randomly?
