[Q] Rom Help for Quasi Newber

Hello Fam! I have a:
Samsung Captivate SGH I897
Currently running :
Cognition, 2.1.7
I'm looking to Change ROM's and I have a couple questions.
1) What is the best Rom for Battery life that has some cool Graffix/annimations
2) Do I have to Flash my Phone back to Stock before I flash a new ROM?
3)I recently Flashed my phone to Darky's 8.1 Somehow i ended up with the I9000 version and it crashed/bricked my phone. I spent 3+ hours restoring a bricked phone. anyone know a fix or a i897 version of this rom??
I liked what I saw of Darky's 8.1 but I need a stable version or a Rom that is Similar.
All help/Suggestions are greatly appreciated

1. I use serendipity and it has great batterylife and a pretty awesome theme.
2. It's advisable to flash back to stock. You can use my program for this. LINK
3. Don't know anything about Darky's, sorry.

i think he intended to direct you to the second post in that thread (which must have fell under the 10% of that thread that you didn't read..sorry couldn't resist a friendly flame) as you are posting your question in the wrong part of the forum.
Rules for posting in Android Development
* If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
* It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
* Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
* If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
* Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
* If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
* Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
* If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
* So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

You should probably familiarize yourself with this as well or your setting yourself up for endless flaming and frustration:
REF] New to XDA? Questions about flashing ROMs? Please read this before posting!
Lately I have seen so many "what rom is best for my first flash" or "Help me decide what rom is best for me" threads and they are POINTLESS! Granted there are an abundance of new and old custom roms, everyone has different experiences and opinions on what rom is best.
So... NOOBS:
If you want to know what rom is best for YOU do the following:
- Go to the Android Development Section and read through different [ROM] threads to see what features will work best for you. I have also found it useful to read through the last couple of pages to see what other users think about the current version of the rom.
- If you don't know what certain terms in the rom thread mean or affect (ie. kernel, modem, OC/UV, Gps tweaks) locate the search bar in the top right corner of the page or browse through this page
- Once you have decided what rom you want to try out, you need to learn how to flash the rom. Most of the Developers post instructions but they can be confusing to some of the less experienced flashers. nbs11 has posted a thread about how to do this here and Connexion2005 was nice enough to make videos of the general steps: Flashing back to stock using odin3 , 3 Part video series for flashing roms: video 1 , video 2 , video 3
- Now that you know how to choose and flash a rom just try out different roms until you find one that you like and gives you all the features you are looking for.
- If you find the theme of a certain rom ugly or obnoxious, head over to the Captivate themes and apps section and look through different [THEME] threads until you find one that you like. Make sure the theme is compatible with the rom you have just flashed or are planning to flash.
- If you accidentally brick your phone, read How to unbrick the captivate or if that doesn't work, Unbrick the captivate for only $0.99
-Some useful links other members have posted:
One-Click Root - root your captivate in one click!
Build #1010 or above flash back to stock
My hopes of this thread are to save the Captivate general section from becoming a section full of useless threads. So if you are new, please use these steps and do the research to find a Rom that is right for YOU!
Cheers,
Alex
*EDIT* As it seems swedishcancerboi is having a hard time using the search function, here are some simple tips to make your searching easier. If you think there is already a thread that has been created containing the information you desire, under "Search by keyword", try changing the drop down box to "Search titles only". Also, try changing the "sort results by" drop down box to "Relevancy". If that still doesn't work do a google search of "xda (whatever you are looking for)" without the quotes.

Nike - Greek word for victory. Also known as a popular brand of shoes.

Nike... Just do it...
Battery life?
Paragon for me on my particular phone
Graphics/animations? Dunno, not into too much eye candy, but there are themes galore available
I always ODIN to stock before I flash a ROM (Haven't tried the AIO yet, but looks interesting)
As for the Darky issue. Flash back to stock and start over.
You have to expect redirection when you're posting in the wrong forum.

Thank you Capitan Obvious.

I recommend Serendipidity with the Suckerpunch kernal. I've gotten great battery life with that combo also you can some cool animations to add to Serendipidity from the Serendipidity website. And when changing between completely different roms I usaully flash back to stock and do a master reset with odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

i recommend you build a jig or buy one online just in case, since you want to use custom rom.

Duck and grind HighSun, duck and grind.
If you're still in the look-see stage as far as ROMs, there are a few that are well worth trying.
Paragon (my fav)
Serendipity
di11i's
Firebird (under new management so to speak)
That's my order of excellence but don't take my word for it. Flash what you like from reading whats offered and have fun. Follow the steps listed in each and you shouldn't have any issues. While not necessary to ODIN to stock, it's a good idea to get used to it in case you bork your phone and need to exchange it.

The best battery life i have gotten is with darky's 9.2 rom.

[Q] Interested in rooting and flashing a custom ROM for the LGOB. [Q]

Hello guys, as you can see I am new to the forum and new to android in general. [Used to be an iOS fanboy] I have recently acquired an LG Optimus Black but i'm unhappy with the stock ROM provided by LG.
I have a few questions:
1) What are my options for rooting the device?
2) Once rooted, what custom ROMs are currently available for the device?
3) If I flash a new ROM is it possible and what would I need to have/do to restore the device back to the stock ROM?
And lastly...
4) What is the chance of fully bricking the device and what are my options if the device gets bricked?
Thanks a lot, [Hope this was the right section and hasn't been asked before...]

All was asked and ANSWERED before. Move your a** and search for it.

I have searched actually. The questions that have been answered aren't specific to my situation and I know that small details are very important when flashing phones. If you aren't answering the question I guess what you posted would be considered spam?

Guys,
Please refrain from bickering, two ways this can be easily resolved:
1. Use google search with the word xda in it to find your answer
2. Rather than posting move your a** and find it, if you know the link or answer, why not help a brother out?
I will say no more on the matter, its that simple.
THanks.

No point arguing..if you don't wanna help just ignore.
If you wanna reply, make sure it helps others.
1) What options? It's either you root or you don't. Either way, your phone works.
2) Currently there's only NOVA Rom by knzo.
3) Read this thread here.
4) Chances of bricking are slim if you read before attempting anything. If in any case your phone is bricked (boot loop), refer to the above.
Hope it helps.
Welcome to the Android community

Thank you very much for the very active response and information.... I am also studying these issues.

Exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!

I've heard a lot of the current roots don't work for the OB?
And is NOVA the ONLY ROM at the moment, I thought I heard about another one?

Older firmwares, you can use Gingerbreak. If it doesn't work, then most probably you're on the newer firmwares. Then use SuperOneClick.
The other one is Pays ROM. It's been abandoned.
It needs v10b Firmware to run. If you're not familiar, stick to Nova ROM.
Cyanogenmod is in progress (i hope so)

[Q] Messed up flash what do I do next

I have a friends LG 2X and it was originally on froyo then i officially upgraded to gingerbread then unofficially uses smart flash to flash the ICS KDZ file and now I can't flash anythink including every version of clockworkMOD! please advise me on what to do! I'm going to try repartitioning with the "NEW" partition table.

I can give you a big list to try.....almost 95% of them are stable.....but you have to try it yourself and find out. 2013 is one of the best years for O2X for having a variety of ROMs....CM based, Stock based, PAC, and so on
nothing is wrong....be proud of this device which is almost unbrickable......so recover it and start enjoying it.

How To Install CyanogenMod guide

Hi guys,
I recently bought this phone, the LG optimus 4x hd. Like appears on the title I would like to install the cyanogenmod, specifically the version 4.1.2 which is the last version of most stable, according to wiki.cyanogenmod. So the problem is that in this page wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p880 , which I think should be the right place in which see how to install the cyanogenmod, there are some part missing. Installing CyanogenMod from recovery ok, there is the guide, but there is nothing about the recovery process and I don't know if any other steps are required for the installation. The phone has got the stock rom, I have not touched anything. So I would need the guide to install the cyanogenmod in the phone with stock rom. I apologize if , like I think, this is the 20 billion time when someone asks that kind of things but I haven't find what I need. Thank you and sorry for my not best english

There are plenty of guides on here for gaining root, unlocking your bootloader, flashing recovery etc. CWM doesn't cover that stuff because they expect you to know how to do it, or be intelligent enough to search and find out.

Issue with Da-Boss mod'd Alexandr N960FXXS2ARL4 DevBase: No mobile network

Going through all close to stock roms for the N9 and thought I would try N960FXXS2ARL4 from the following thread, that was a mistake. And I would have posted this in the above thread to make people aware, but its been closed. -
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../n960f-fd-rom-devbase-modified-final-t3903293
I ended up going down this rabbit hold because the N960FXXS2ARL3 listed in the OP failed to flash, I thought nothing of this and as I have seen this issue with many other roms in the past and figured it was just a corrupt file. So I wiped and proceeded to flash an earlier version of Alexandr's DevBase (based on Android 8.x) and it was at this point I start seeing the no-entry icon in-place of the signal meter.
According to the OP in that thread N960FXXS2ARL4 is supposed to be the lastest Rom/Bootloader for Android 8.1 and I thought I was safe to flash this rom via TWRP, as I had been specifically avoiding upgrading to any stock Android 9.x rom's due to the known issue of not being able to downgrade to either stock or custom Android 8.x roms. So I flashed Android 9.0 version of Alexanders Devbase and sure enough the signal meter is back, indicated that N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader/rom from the Da-Boss thread for want of a better word f***ed something. Because even flashing the pure stock rom based on N960FXXS2ARL4 that this handset(SM-N960F) came with when I bought it will not get the signal meter to come back.
Can someone confirm if N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader allow's backwards flashing? if yes what could have possible happened that's causing my issue?

Ok so to my chargrin after searching through Alexandr repo on androidfiles I see he had a version on his own thread that was newer than the one in Da-Boss thread. So currently I am trying various rom's to see if there is even a nats chance I can get this device back to 8.1 compliant.

plz dont post in the rom development section. post in the Q n A or general discussion sections.
also plz search about bootlaoder downgrades and revision number and modems and firmware files.
ud have seen that once you are on a revision, you cant downgrade to a lower one. BL rev is usualy 5 th character starting from the right. both your firmwares you point to are on rev 2. just check in system/software info. to know. moreover CP aka baseband aka modem dont always play nice when they arent in sync with a particular rom/base.

try this,
wipe everything > > flash latest csg5 bootloader > flash rom > flash latest csg2 modem and reboot for the first boot.
it should work properly.

I posted here because the thread with the ROM responsible for all my aggravation is in this section.
I didn't flash the modem to start with, just flashed the p.o.s. ROM from Da-Boss thread, which I can only assume tried to flash the bloody bootloader/modem which would be a feet in of itself as the flash in twrp failed. Also as I said previously this Note 9 came with N960FXXS2ARL4. Which is actually a newer version then the one in the Da-Boss thread, so flashing (or having the fail to flash) should not have caused the issue with the bootloader/modem it now has.
@mods, feel free to move this to another section, but can I request the download links in the Da-Boss thread be removed please -
As the thread is closed
It has been demonstrated here and in that thread that this ROM is badly broken.

I dont say you go for android 9.0 either.
if you dont flash latest bootloader and latest modem, you are unable to use android 8.1, I am using ASB1 oreo now.
you can downgrade BL and modem, but your modem wont work if you boot your ARL4.
thats why after rom is installed you have to flash latest modem for made it work.

I have reported the Da-BOSS thread requesting the download link be removed due to the rom being broken, so that other dont have to deal with the same aggravation I did.

The above suggestions/advice and resulted in a softbrick, where the phone would not boot. So now I am having to do what I didn't want to do and upgrade all the way to Android 9.0 just to get a working phone. To say I am unimpressed at this point is an understatement.

And to add insult to injury, I now no longer have the OEM unlock option in the dev options, for which there is no current work around.... happy ***ing days.

maybe @Da-BOSS should come and see what you went through and explain why originally you had issues and tell if it has anything to do with him requesting the rom thread to be closed.(if it was a known issue why not edit out rom links to save users from the problems...transparency is key...)
this situation reminds me of the broken twrp 3.3.1 thread from arteuse) ive asked it to be closed or at least edited to warn users about the issue with parsing scripts while flashing zip but i was told that as xda users, we should be aware that flashing what ever we find here is at or own risk. even if many have pointed out issues, they won't censure nor close anything.(mod told me this) funny how comments and posts are censured and deleted every day for foul language though....double standard maybe?

The ROM is no longer maintained and no longer supported by me so any issues you are having it surely not my fault especially if the thread are already closed due to Alexndrs already have the latest Oreo version which is ASB1 so... there's no need for ARL4 to be supported by me after ASB1 got released... why the duplication?
Why would you use something that its thread are closed? Even at the first page of the thread.. it will tell you that [Thread Closed] at the first sight ! so... it is good that you reported about the link! I didn't know that! it was taking space on my cloud drives for nothing
Edit:-
Removed the file from my drive! To prevent any new accidents from new people on xda.

I didn't say it was your fault in any of the thread's I have mentioned this specific issue, how ever in your thread a number of people mentioned having the same issue of the ROM not flashing correctly from twrp so imho you should/could have removed the link at that point. And I didn't know Alexandr's file repo was browseable untill after the fact, otherwise I would have never even looked at your thread.
Because I wanted de-bloated version of the rom already on the phone, grand atleast something good came of it and thank you for removing the link. I didnt think to email you directly about it mainly because the devs on this forum are on for the most part very busy individuals.
I gave up the fight with the Note9 in the end as I had to flash it to stock Android 9 which for me is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp.

this situation reminds me of the broken twrp 3.3.1 thread from arteuse) ive asked it to be closed or at least edited to warn users about the issue with parsing scripts while flashing zip but i was told that as xda users, we should be aware that flashing what ever we find here is at or own risk. ?

its been reported many many many times. I've had pm and posted thread comments to the dev.
dev only made a rant reply about it and never modiyed his op. since many people have had the issue and what's deceiving is they each report the problem and blame the rom( multiple report on ambasadii and light rom threads) because they don't realize its not the rom but twrp that's not flashing correctly the rom. anyways i think it's time to ask an mod to move this thread via PM or something.
btw since ure on pie now. try ambasdii rom v5. its fully pack with features. the Rom Control is nice.

Sorry fella, didn't mean to sound condescending - I was referring to the twrp 3.3.1.0 thread.

Ok we are getting a bit off topic here but @ XDA mods, WTF like! Anyway this rings a bell so I take it the current consensus is to avoid 3.3.1.0 on all devices and use the previous version for the time being?
Im not, I sold the Note9 today. Android 9 is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp. May get a s10 or s10e once we have a working & reliable magisk, twep and xposed.
