New roms and kernels - can I do anything I want? - I don't want to brick phone

Hi.
So my Awesome man @tetakpatak helped me to fix my phone yesterday. Although it seemed hard it was quite easy. Too easy. That's where my question goes. I installed Froyo "stock" rom after my phone was "broken" and after that got a new kernel and installed CM.
Can I do this every time? I mean when I want to change Kernel or Rom I could just wipe phone, Install Froyo by Odin and later go with any ROM that there is in ROM section?
Or it doesn't work that way? Or I need to install older versions of roms and update them?
Lets say I want to install ParanoidAndroid or Darky instead of my CM now - I just wipe all data and cache and install.zip thru CWM?
What about Kernel?
Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

Great it works now, mate
In general, yes, after anything with custom ROMs goes wrong it is best one can do to reflash it with a stock ROM. It can actually be any stock ROM, I just adviced to do it with Froyo as I've checked short ago that all download links are still "alive".... and.... in my opinion Froyo is somehow really good ground to be updated to the CM.
So it would be wise to save all the files and software you used, as they worked well for your phone
No problem flashing and trying other ROMs. Always read well the opening post of the threads and pay attention what is important to do. Always save your data externally (and backup your IMEI/efs with terminal emulator app) and wipe all before changing ROM. If anything goes wrong by overwriting your custom ROM, flash stock ROM again and upgrade from there
My last words.... to all users of an amazing, old, good SGS GT-i9000: please consider to make a little donation to the developer pawitp. That amazing developer keeps this phone still alive. Nearly all kernels and ROMs you find on the forum wouldn't exist if pawitp wasn't there. He now works on stabilizing the CM10.2 / Android 4.3 for our beloved i9000 somewhere in Thailand, and he doesn't even own this phone!

Kernels
Do you need to wipe data in order to install a new kernel? I've never tried it before and would rather not mess it up.

No need, just flash the kernel using mobile odin from phone or odin3 as PDA in PC

Here is a video-tutorial from tetakpatak:

For me it works perfect, and now it is routine to flash the kernel after every nightly!

This is not my work.
This Rom is ported by spegelius. I've found this here: http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/100-galaxy-s4-active/
Everything seems to be ok.
Bugs:
720p video recording produces crap video(but 1080p works fine)
HDR
Download:
-Rom
-Gapps
Screenshots:
I am sorry I posted in General but i couldn't post in Development.

Thanks for making this more public, this way more people will get the chance to try it
Just one important hint, @spegelius didn't port it, he compiled that beast from Source, which is an important fact
I can confirm that this is a good, daily driver for sure!

Oh hey, thanks for putting this up . I never got around to it, didn't seem that too many users were interested about it. But good to hear it works for people. And about the build, i used LeJay's kernel sources etc to make it happen.

Happy to know about this! Already dowwloaded it but I need my phone working this weekend and I can't risk to have any kind of problem, I will surelly try it as soon as I get home next week.
Thanks a lot! Hope more people start working on I9295, my son's Moto G just got the OTA 4.4 update, lucky him!

fantastic @spegelius , why not open a thread in development section :silly:

What Android version is this based on? 4.2, by any chance? I was foolishly hoping that it could work with Safestrap for us suckers without the international variant.

It's 4.3.1. For non-international S4 Active, there would need to be proper kernel at least...

Install the rom? Flash it with CWM. Install the kernel? Well i don't know about other devices than Intl S4 Active, but inst it like, even if there was such kernel, it can't be flashed due to locked bootloader?

This looks good. Has anyone (besides spegelius) flashed it? I'm reasonably satisfied with my rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and really want to move to 4.4. On my SIII I already had KitKat and now I have to settle with 4.2
Cheers

I installed this ROM but google play acts strange. It doesn't reinstall all my packages and still refuses to install for instance swype. I chose for the aroma gapps but will do a new wipe and try another gapps
Cheers

Must have been the gapps. Up and running now and reinstalling apps. Looks good
Cheers

I have several issues. My titanium restored Wi-Fi passwords are disappearing each time. The phone discharges as fast as it is charging. It will probably be empty after 1 hour on battery.
I think I will switch to my LG G2 I recently acquired... any ideas?
Cheers

Overview
This is MIUIv5 for all unlocked-BL xHDPI moto_msm8960 devices.
Being a Beta, everything is assumed to have full functionality, under windows when drives are mounted they may have strange names like "invalid card", this is purely cosmetic.
Working
- Everything...(?)
Not Working
- ?

MOD EDIT Links removed until the ROM is made XDA compliant

I think it is long process... I tried to port MIUI v5 for XT907 on stock base.. It just wont work.. ((

Update: I've almost completed stock MIUI, I've confirmed it WILL be usable in safestrap devices.
I've almost completed MIUI Kitkat for the whole device tree; it should be available for testing tonight and is very close to being finished right now.
Stock ROM is nearly finished; but I will only be maybe providing OTA update to CM based MIUI because it makes more sense and because having to do stock for locked BL took significantly longer than I expected.
Edit 2: I'm Tquetski, for anyone who doesn't know :<

Uploading now, forgive my ISP speed.
As usual this is a preview, not a final build and broken things can be expected

I keep lying, I fixed all misc errors relating to this build and will proceed with uploading now for various devices, XT926 people be patient please :>

Tried it last night, everything run smooth, especial for alpha.
Not working list is bigger for me : contacts also not working it gives me android.acore error.

problem
Don't boot. Full wipe, but without results
How to install, help please
TWRP, KKBL, Stock

i think you need to be on the old jellybean bootloader.

I'm doing AOSP base for every moto_msm8960 AND Stock for this phone.
The thing is that stock can be OTA'd, patch won't accept that so I'm eating the bitter apple first

To install this i uncheck system in mount menu (recovery twrp 2.8).
This rom (based on cm11) is smooth and i love it. Waiting for stable version
Tquerski, thank you!!!

Everything is now functional beside Update, Backup and Theme-Manager.
Even though I have updated MIUI theme manager seems to force-quit. I'm not entirely sure what to do about it Jing is the only other developer I've heard of resolving this issue. I sent him a PM and hopefully will hear back because I am not really positive what the issue is.
I will avoid posting another build until I can get word on Themes but if a few days go by I'mm just put it up because outside of that everything is pretty much stable

Ok, I got it fixed; I'd like to thank myself because no other dev had input

Downloading)
EDIT: Half day of using and all i can say i like it. working smooth, stable, dont have any force closes, or random reboots. it is my daily driver for now.
and one question, v6 version will come too?

The sdcard isn't wiped with a factory reset through TWRP. So it is no different than other phones. Make a nandroid, titanium backup, or whatever you want to use. Factory reset through TWRP. Flash ROM + other stuff if necessary (Gapps, kernel, root, xposed....etc). Everything on your sdcard will still be there. Note that you can wipe out everything on your phone through TWRP, but a factory reset knows to save it (I believe TWRP even has something along the lines of not including internal storage).
The beauty of custom ROMs is that there is no best ROM. Everyone has different preferences, and as such there are different ROMs that are built with different ideas in mind. Some may lean toward ROMs that have every feature they can cram into the ROM. While others may want ROMs that are much closer to stock with just a couple extra features. It really all depends. My advice is to figure out what features interest you, figure out a few ROMs that cover most of those. Perhaps glance through the last few pages of those ROMs to see if there are any confirmed problems that may be dealbreakers for you. Then flash it. Play with it a day or two, then flash different ROM if it interests you.

[ROM] [10-01-2023] OxygenDust BETA for the HTC One M8 Single SIM. [10.0]

Hello there friends!​This is my first ever proper rom. I hope u guys will enjoy it!​
What is OxygenDust?
OxygenDust is a Operating System that simulates the feel of oxygenOS. But cleaner, and debloated. It uses LineageOS as a base for the system for fast and smooth performance.
The project originally was called PikaOS, And for the Samsung galaxy a3 2017. But this got cancelled as it was made in the schoolvacation and it was hard to make a rom full with feutures. Its easier to just port them over.
Features
Oneplus style launcer
oneplus apps
Rounded UI
OxygenOS sounds (partially broken right now)
serveral pixel stuff built in
Pre-rooted
Oneplus wallpapers (more is coming)
No google apps (only files, alternative to the stock files app [still in the rom])
How do i install OxygenDust?
PLEASE. BACK UP UR IMEI!! THERE IS A CHANCE THE IMEI WILL DISSAPEAR. SERVERAL PEOPLE LOST THEIR IMEI BY BEING STUPID. DONT POINT UR FINGER AT ME FOR UR STUPIDITY.
The file is in a TWRP backup format. Im still figuring out how to make a zip installer.
Make sure you have these things ready or installed:
TWRP 3.7.0 or higher.
Atleast 4gb of internal storage memory free. Highly recommended to format internal storage.
Formatted these partitions: System, data, cache, dalvik
The backup ofc
INSTALLING THE ROM:
Extract the zip file
make sure u have the TWRP folder ready.
format internal storage
Remove the current TWRP folder (secure any other backups)
Place the TWRP folder in internal storage.
Reboot recovery
Go to restore
Select the oxygenOS backup.
restore.
reboot
enjoy!
LINKS:
Kernel source
Download
Screenshots are on the drive folder.
Changelog:
10-01-2023: inital beta release
Troubleshooting
I get the stock android bootup logo, what do i do?
This is normal. since it comes with magisk preloaded and some bugs on lineage some things break.
The animations are laggy.
theyre not laggy, theyre on 1.5x. go to developer options too turn them up or down.
My imei is gone.
U shoudve read the thread properly.
No partitions are selected for restore error.
Make sure u have copied the WHOLE TWRP FOLDER. not just the backup, THE WHOLE FOLDER.
My sdcard wont work properly.
This is a bug in lineageOS.

this looks like it has potential to be a decent rom

Hello, I always wanted to see what OxygenOS was like and hoped that someone would make an OxygenOS rom for the M8, and here it is Thanks for this, but I have a few Qs:

What does this mean?
And how do you backup IMEI?
What carriers does this ROM work on?

1. Thats how u install the rom
2. Idk, search on google?
3. It works on all unlocked HTC One M8’s single sims.

@vinnievh​
The download-link isn't working anymore - could you please reupload your rom?
Thanks!

Well let's hope it has a proper install method from a zip file. Also, you need to take some responsibility by explaining in clear, precise instructions how to backup the IMEI if there is a danger your ROM may lose it.

Does anyone have the rom so we can for now test the rom
