Custom ROMS consequences? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi All I have an important question
I love android and I like play with my phone by custom roms! maybe I installed 100 rom in my s3 lte
but my question is
Since months I installed TGP rom and it was note 2 port in that time ! and then my phone started to be unusable! my screen was always flickering! I tought it was a hardware problem! but issue fixed by changing battery
And a week ago I installed nameless lollipop rom with hbo kernel and after 8 hours my phone didnt boot only and I dont even see splash screen ! isuue fixed by entring downloaf mod and flash stock kk and then format battery! and now I am running TGP
Can I still install roms without harming my device and battery...? Thanks

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Problem

Hello. I have recently flashed my phone with darky's. I got very disappointed mainly because of battery drainage and I switched to Doc's Custom Cooked ROM from romkitchen.org
My MAIN problem with Galaxy S is that after about 15 reboots (NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE) I get the force close loop and everything goes straight to hell. All my apps are invalidated and nothing works anymore. I am tired of flashing and reflashing my phone. I just want to USE IT, NOT WASTE TIME FIXING IT!
I kindly ask for a solution on this forum. I would also like to say that I have applied the "/system corruption problem" but this didn't work at all.
I am eagerly waiting for an answer. Currently there are 2 sollutions:
1 - Solve this damn problem
2 - Throw SGS to trash can and buy an iPhone
Please help!
Just flash with the stock v2.2.1. Use your phone...
If you go with a custom rom, you gotta expect issues.

To be honest with you, it might just be your phone...I've flashed countless times and not had a bootloop in months. Try doing a factory reset and start from scratch from either Darky or Doc's ROM

+1 to that.
If you really want a custom rom with good battery... I'd recommend a clean 2.2.1 JPY flash and then Darky's 8.0/8.1 . The battery life is much better in those versions. I get ~1%/hr drain at night with Darky 8.1 vs ~3% with 9.2
I have recently tried Insanity 0.6.1 and find it very good. It actually doesn't have all that bloatware from Samsung and therefore it has more stability! I have been using it for a day. Given ~ 20 restarts and no problems. I hope everything is going to be allright. I'll report back in a couple of days or as soon as it gets problems.

[Q] Is All the customized ROMS are good for every Region (india.. etc)

Hi Devs,
I am using India Stock ROM for galaxy, is it good to install the customized ROMS if yes then why samsung release ROMS as epr regio specific.
I am sure this is related to signal strength of every country telecom provider,
but in that how can rely on customized ROMS.
Apart of this when even I am installing latest rocket ROM (19_1)or criskelo ROM v 3, my stucks in boot loop and if i am installing it over other ROM my screen wil come up but Not able to call and my signal stremght become very week and closes the application with force.
Could anyone let me know which ROM is best for Indian users, i have the firmware KL3
One more query when ever I am installing the STOCK ROM from ODIN in first time it will got hung while coming up. then i have to do FAactoy reset to make it up, this is vert weired , is anyone faces the issue ?

I don't think it makes any difference which custom rom you use.
I used to have rocket. Tried darky for like a day or two. Now I am on Checkrom. Never had any problem with any of them.
It is always recommended to do a back up of all your apps and data with something like titanium and do a complete wipe before installing any new rom.
I personally use CWM for installing new roms. I am guessing that you have rooted your phone?
Could you let me know the best ROM to use which gives me very good theme and good battery life.

[Q] samsung ace kernels for wifi,roms

so my question is about kernels.i download multiple roms and try them.each of this rom has unique problem and its really frustrating what to install on,to work for all what i need.i need more ram,i saw the post and tutorial and made exactly all steps.anyway,ofc it didnt work.i found some replay says about custom kernel.so,if i install any kernel,does affect on rom,does version of android stays same????any kernel can be installed to rom i have atm??i didnt found any answer about that.today im dealing all day with this on forum,checking all ower for answers and it driving me mad cause i still cant comment on some post and i really need it.cause of that im spanding hours for my ace to have all what i need. big internal memory,bigger size of ram working camera and no lag rom.you my think im spanding time for a sh1tty phone,well thats true.another question:is there any kernel(tweak)for wifi???i have ace and huawei in same room.ace wifi works just sux as much as he can,whatever rom i put on,wifi going still sux,disconecting etc on each rom i installed.my huawei phone also ****ty phone more than ace,the wifi works non stop at full signal,black market works fast,google play works fast.on ace black market works slow as snail on whatever rom i install,google play works normal,on some roms slow and lagy.so i saw comments about wifi.people said about router to configure,well its just stupid,cause i have 2 phones in my room and i see what is going on.simply,ace has most sh1ty wifi ever and modem has nothing to do,my 2nd room is 5meters away from modem,just 5 meters and ace cant handle,thats really lame.so,any solutions about that i would be really apriciated .
If you change kenrel, android version will remain same.
No disconnect issue with me..
On rom JB CM10.
I had experienced that problem in CM7 ROMS.
And you cannot install any kernel on any rom.
See compatibility.

Weird problem ........

i have 2 batteries one is new one other one is old one.. whenever i replace my batteries (interchange). my phone got stuck on Samsung logo than i have to restore backup or flash rom again.. i always used to change the batteries in switched off condition only (first i switch off my mobile than replace).. Any solution guys ??
Note --- I never faced this problem in CM roms...
i am facing this problem in every tw roms and in every kernel belongs to tw roms
You face this problem on what tw roms? you couldnt have tried "every"
you face this issue on STOCK LRU ICS?
On Newest XXLT4 JB?
Because this was a known issue on earlier TW JB builds...but no other tw builds

Hy. Y flashed the rom on my i9305 and y had to reflash and then only I made the camera work flashing boefla.ok. but. Screen mirroring doesn't work apps to sd card the same and neither samsung link wont work. Are you trying to fix these? The rom is good.

S5 Elite for S3 (i9305) problem.
Greetings,
Today I was charging my S3 (i9305) and turned off the power. I later discovered that my phone was still on even though I had turned it off. I found out that when charging my phone with the power off it rebooted my phone. I don't know if it's a problem with the Rom or phone. Help would be appreciated. (I have attached a picture of what my phone gets stuck on before it reboots). Thanks.

Hi,
Im not sure but maybe this is the old bootloader issue..are you on new or old bootloader? and have you installed agni kernel that comes by default with the rom? cause i thought that the reboot issue only was present in the boeffla kernels for this rom, which i have removed from the rom thread some time ago, because they were not stable.
It is definately not a rom problem, cause im using this rom every day (btw im on new 4.4.4 bootloader) and i didnt had any reboots from the 1st day till this time also not with the 4.3 bootloader, using Agni kernel 4.9 everything works fine, even offline charging works, but from this we already knew that offline charging was working well on new bootloader.

It must be the Bootloader then, since I have already installed Agni v4.9. Would you be able to send me the link to the right Bootloader for the i9305. Thanks Maho.

Well the case is that the bootloader is not something you can find separately and flash it for example like a flashable zip, the only way to update the bootloader is by flashing 4.3 or 4.4.4 official firmware from sammobile.com or any other site where you can download samsung official firmwares, and it has the KNOX feature included which really sucks, therefore these bootloaders are also called KNOX bootloader. You can check what bootloader you have at the moment by booting into downloadmode and in left upper corner of the downloadmode screen if there is a line saying ´´KNOX WARRANTY VOID´´ means you already have the new knox bootloader and since the new Android 4.4.4 now there is also a line in blue color saying ´´SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLED'' which is the case with me.
If you like to update the bootloader you can do that, in my signature there is a link to ODIN guide, also there is a link in the guide for if you want to learn more about knox bootloader before you do anything, cause when you flash 4.3 or 4.4.4 official firmware the knox bootloader will remain forever with the device, its not something you can delete like an .apk file, the bootloader is part of the device structure.
This knox bootloader seems to cause problems with installing custom roms or applying root etc. (not for everyone though) but im now KNOXED for some time and never had actually any kind of problem installing custom roms or rooting etc. besides that i think that our i9305 is now getting old and 4.4.4 is probably the last official update to come from Samsung, so it doesnt really matter to be knoxed or not knoxed at this time IMHO and most of the people dont care anymore about warranty being void, but if you like to avoid such small issues like device rebooting by itself or any other issue caused by the old bootloader with 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 custom roms, i recommend everyone to update the bootloader if you plan to run 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 custom roms as daily driver.
If you are still not sure about this or you dont understand something, you can always look for more info in the general Q&A thread or just do some research on the internet.
Cheers
Thank you

Hey man sorry for late reply.
I think wifi direct isnt working then, for the audio skipping i think its related to your kernel settings, try other governors for example. I dont have this issue, music playing fine with me.
Air Navigation does not work. Sry bad english
