[Q] MIUI or Stock - Mother in law

So I am likely to be giving my mother in law my Galaxy S as I now have a Galaxy S2.
Now I am wondering what recommendations people have for software I should put on it. Should I put MIUI on it or run it with stock? Her technical skills are somewhat lacking.

You are so kind. If let say Galaxy s 3 available, I'm gladly accept the sgs II one .
IMO, you use stock ROM or custom ROM that close to original samsung ROM.

Don't really have much choice in giving it to her. Wife decided it would be good but I wanted to keep it to play around with. But if I do it at least I am allowed to upgrade my phone later on.

[Q] Good to time to root & mod ATT SGH-I987?

Hi Everyone,
I'm coming to end of my contract for my ATT SGH-I987 Tab. No changes to OS, Firmware, Baseband, and Kernal, since start of contract (Dec 2011) only installed apps from Google Play store. Totally satisfied with capabilities and performance of Tab. My concern is that as Android versions moves forward, I will be left behind in 2 areas: Flash updates(I know Adobe stopped development of Flash at Android 4.0,) and minimum version of Android required by new and updated apps.
So, is this a good time to root and mod the Tab because of my 2 concerns?
I look forward to everyone's responses.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments, thoughts, reasoned opinions.

It's always a good time to flash a new room, try and compare with your shipped ROM.
There is a big difference between the gingerbread shipped ROM and the last CM10 JB Roms.
You only med top going the right ROM for your device version.

Stable ROM for nervous father.

My dad has an S3, and he loves the whole idea of Android, but he hates the bloat that comes with his phone.
I had offered before to install a custom ROM but he did not like that idea. He had gone to egypt for a week and ran up charges because his phone had been using loads of data. On inspection it was most of the samsung apps using data which he wasnt even using.
So he's come to me to sort it all out.
I want something rock solid stable, so even if that means no Kit Kat.
Looking here i can see the latest stable is at 10.1.3 which i believe is 4.2.2.
Does anyone have any experience with this ROM on this phone? Cheers

Hey Hey.
First of all: 9300 or 9305? Be aware of that before you will brick the device - that will make him nervous for sure Just asking to make sure since you gave 9305 CM link and started topic as a S3 device.
Second: There is a problem with 4.3 builds on our devices (official and unofficial aosp's) . Read last pages of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cyanogenmod-10-1-official-nightlies-t2157651
That's a pain for me too as a S3 LTE device user. I was buying it hoping that it will be as easy and fun like S2 or S3 with so many possibilities. However truth is brutal and S3 LTE is far from both of them and we still don't have 100% stable AOSP rom. All AOSP's available for our device got cons and are not 100% operational/working like officials do. If you got 4.3 (official) already - you got KNOX and that creates limit's for modding as long you want keep warranty. If not - I highly recommend a custom rom based on official rom (4.1) (For Example: The Galaxy Project v11.30 with some tweaks and custom stable kernel. Just install and you are ready to go

I like Alliance ROM with the Alliance theme, has an AOSP look but without the poor quality camera or battery issues associated with Cyanogen.

What about just removing the bloatware from the stock rom? For my gf's phone I just rooted then used titanium to remove the unnecessary crap. Gives her fewer options to stuff up lol

I would advise you to use a rom based on stock samsung rom. This way you maintain the former look and feel while getting the benefits of less bloat.
If your phone is in deed an LTE I would suggest to take a look at the TGP (The Galaxy Project), rXtreme, or Alliance roms in the development section.

New life to Galaxy TAB P1000; what to do, which ROM ?

Hi there,
I've just got back my first tablet ever; it has been used from my mum the past two years.
Now, it looks really old and I would like to give him a new life.
What do you think ? can it be still used ? With a different ROM can be a bit faster ? Which ROM do you suggest me to install ???
THANKS a lot in advance
Cheers
Steve

Need advice for a fast rom

Hey,
so here's the story: last year my Oneplus 1 went swimming so i had to switch to my old N7000 and yeah. since then i'm on my quest looking for an "ok" rom which doesn't freak me out.
First i used the stock rom, switched to unicorn and now i'm on nightowl 7.1.2... But the thing is, the phone lags/is slower than a snail crossing a highway.
So my question is: is there any specific "fast" rom? I have no needs for the lastest features or gimmicks and have only 3 apps installed: 9gag, unified remote and whatsapp...
Have anyone good suggestions? Shall i stay at the newest roms or maybe switch back to an old android 4 version?
Anyway, thanks for reading.
