[Q] Update Stock ROM

Hello,
There a new version of the stock ROM for my conutry. Currently, I'm using CM 7.2. My question is, should I update the new version of the stock ROM and then install again CM? or that is not necessary?
Thanks.

Why would you get stock and install cm again???

Moto Atrix 886 HD Noob Here

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.

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.

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.

didn't understand this line...
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...

[Q] Simple question: which rom for daily use for my new GT-8910N

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.

[Q] Could you recoment me most suitable ROM

Hi guys,
I have read a lot about different ROM that are avalible for Galaxy S Advance, but I am not sure, which one is the best for me. Could someone more experienced recomend me a ROM on the basis of my priorites?
- Stability
- Speed
- Working wi-fi, GPS, camera and other basic functions
And that is basicly it. I don't need to tune my system and be able to change everything and honestly I don't really want to. I just want to install new ROM and few applications and than use it more or less for office work (calling, texting, email, callendar, google keep, facebook, viber, skype,...).
Thanks a lot!

HarshJelly is the most stable i think.

That exacly what I was looking for. Thanks mate!

I’m using and recommend the latest stock rom for Italy (ITV, I9070XXLQL)—it’s much better than older roms like LQG or LQE. It' doesn't need any tuning nor custom kernels, it's just working OK

Sami-os
Sami-os is really stable and working perfectly with all functions

I've more or less you same priorities, and I'm using slimrom

I'm very happy with it so far...
Inviato dal mio GT-I9070 utilizzando Tapatalk

i think you should try harsh jelly, sami OS, slim bean or carbonrom build 7..all of this rom perform very well and quite stable..

For stock 4.1.2 you can try Harshjelly which is nice and is being updated with latest stuff fixed by Samsung...
For 4.3 (in case you want to try a lighter ROM...) You can try OMNI 4.3...
Or latest CM10.2 build....

For AOSP Touchwiz Sense, use Sami Os with JB 4.2.2.
It's Stable, fast, and great Rom.
For CM you can use Carbon Rom JB 4.4.2, the stable version.

I've try that Rom, so smooth and faster.
Give a credit for his great work, guys.

Good 4.4 Rom - AOSP Prefered

Hey guys,
anyone of you still using a 4.4 ROM? If so, can you recommend me one?
I prefer AOSP, but can be stock based aswell.
Need to be fast and reliable.
Thanks

@KewKei The best is the stock 4.4.3 rom hands down. That is assuming you don't want a more recent 5.0.x Rom.
