SM-J105Y & Custom ROM - Worthwhile? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi,
I bought a J1 Mini (SM-105Y) as a stopgap cheapo phone last year when my long-suffering Galaxy Note IV decided to finally throw in the towel.
The thing is crazy slow with stock Droid. Is there any sense in even trying to put a custom ROM on it, or will this be more trouble than it's worth? I've gotten TWRP working, but can't seem to find any mainstream-ish custom OS that works with this phone. Or should I just leave well enough alone and keep it around as a backup phone?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi
 @johnsalomon
How did you get TWRP running? I've got a SM-J105Y but I can't get it to work

can confirm v2.8.5.0 running on my sm-j105y
be aware versions can be hit or miss

This one is good. and stable. Dont try to restore applications if you have a backup. Better install from the beginning..

It doesnt mean that ... you can try to restore, but if you are facing any problem after restoring, like fc, random boot or lag then you have to worry about the restore. Normally for better performance use a fresh install (it is only my experience). If you are flashing the same version then no problem you can restore the application.

Totally disagree as 10.2 RE backs up all previous data on your SD, How ever it is recommended to use titanium back up for your apps

You can restore from a backup just not a nand one from another rom use titanium backup and save all your apps (system data from CM7 etc will cause problems if you try and restore it) then restore once darkyRom has been flashed.
titanium backup has the nice feature of creating an update zip to flash in CWM after install
Hi, I am also in the same situation. I have been using PilotX for around a month now, but I am still not satisfied with my phone's performance. So I am considering installing Darky.
Did you succeed installing it? The main things I am trying to figure out now are:
1. Do I will need to install a special modem to make it work with Pelephone's network in Israel (my original phone used baseband I9000TJJJP3 if that says anything; with PilotX I now have I9000TUBJV6).
2. Since I am now on a different custom ROM, should I go back to my provider's stock ROM before proceeding with install, or does it not matter?
3. Any extra things to install for Hebrew support? (I don't need Hebrew menus, just properly rendering right-to-left in emails and messages).
I should probably start my own thread with questions (or read up some more about it first), but if you've gone through it now maybe you have tips.
Thanks

Hi.
Sorry for the late answer.
1.I got Pelephone also. No need for special modem.
2. Just follow the manual.
3. You will need an rtl fix that you can find easily, and install hebrew layout for your keyboard.
Felix.

Well first, are you running gingerbread? If you are, what version?
You can't use this over V20P but you can with any other version. I suggest V20C

Help (lg p920 3d rom)
is there any way to revert from king 3d rom to stock rom? cause im having problems with:
/widgets (when i set widgets,if rebooted,everything i put on it will be double copied 1st and 2nd windows will have the same widgets)
/time and date (if the phone was rebooted the date will be set into 1/1/2000 nd time will be 12:00am)
/purchased items on market such as axcel drum recieving messge like (thi software isnt compatible with your device), when i flashed into this rom, some items i payed for,i cant download it anymore unlike the previous rom i have i can install everything
/other downloadable apps i can download some apps but it force closes or automatic closes
/Saving Contacts whenever i save new contacts or replace, my phone hangs.. so i need to remove battery..
From 2.2.2 Froyo(Stock)
>Gingerbread 2.3.5
>then flashed king 3d rom
Well if you made a backup of your stock rom in clockworkmod, then yeah. Just wipe everything and restore your backup. If you didn't make a backup, then you could either flash to a different rom or you could kdz flash back to the stock rom.
i didnt..
could you give me some list of better rom for lg-p920 optimus 3d?
i was planning to flash cyanogen, but i cant seem to have a better reason to flash it, some thoughts are "would it be more stable than king 3d or it might have some more issues than my present rom"
could you give me a list of roms that runs perfectly on lgp920?
something stable to run on my phone? thanks
---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------
wait.. what do you mean "i could kdz flash back to original rom."?
you mean its possible to revert everything without flashing the LGE stock rom kdz nor using a backup rom?
i tried to download it,found a link to the stock rom download but they are uploaded on fileserve server.. im unable to download it.. pls help..
You'd need to use the LG software (I know, it sucks) but I don't know of any other way without a cmd backup. If it's in a .zip format though, then you should be able to flash it. If not, just search around the forums. There are tons of very stable, very amazing roms made by Thaiaz, Meemo, The Dark Lestat. Just look around.
alright i will.. thank you bro.. ^_^
---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------
one last question pls..
if i upgraded into gingerbread and flashed a new rom.. would gingerbread still be there?
i mean... roms (king 3d rom) and operating systems (gingerbread) are different installations right? im new with these things...im a bit confused haha..
==thank you for answering my questions..you really did helped me..and for the others who will read this thread ==
The kdz flash method will flash firmware baseband and bloatware cwm doesn't do baseband so you will still be on gingerbread

[Q] Razr i One Mod lags & slow system

Is anyone who is using the razr i - "one" mod, also experiencing lags and a really slow system?
the stock rom was a bit slow, too. so i thought i try out this mod, but it even got worse
did anyone try out the JellyAOSP Rom yet? Is it stable and fast ?
thanks!

I have been using that MOD for quite a time, first it was very laggy, then reinstalled it with full wipe (every wipe possible), and then it was OK. I recommend it, but just because there aren't many other alternatives (yet)
I just installed 1.30 and I experience a little lag, especially in the dialer when swiping fom numpad and back. It's the blue 'call' bar that needs to load a bit.

I have installed 1.5 with last Omar Avelar's kernel. Really smooth and fast without lags.
If u are experiencing lags u have one option, clean install. Some users reported this problem, i can't give any other solution. Its the same for Omar's Rom and JellyAOSP 1.5 - dirty flash is running for some users, some experiencing lags and other problems.

Your mod dosen't lag at all. works perfectly fine here.
clean install is the ONLY way to go when flashing a phone imo.
^Yeah u are probably right, so for everyone who is experiencing lags:
Download the latest *.zip file to your SD.
Flash the Motorola JB 4.1.2 EU firmware via RSDlite.
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed (I use CWM Recovery 6.0.1.9).
Boot into your custom recovery of choice.
Select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm.
Select install zip from external card, and choose the zip file.
Hit Reboot.
U can probably skip part 2, but just to make sure your system partition is fine I recommend flashing the original firmware.

note 3 screen freeze

When I first got my note I had this problem but found some fix to stop it. Now i upgraded and now have a rom on it and I am having this problem all over again. I have factory reset my phone 3 times and I am still getting it. I was hopping we had a sticky on about this but I am not able to fix a fix. Would anyone be able to tell me how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, I would wipe again, then flash a stock rom and try to go from there
Well I have wiped 2 times. I'm rooted with nc2. I'm using undroids rim which is stock. I will see if I can get a 100% stock rom though.
I will try to find you a leaked stock ROM [emoji4]

When i got my note 3 in april i had this problem but found some way to fix it. I then updated to 4.4 and after having problem with google maps force closing on me all the time when trying to use it I though I should do a factory reset.
After the reset I started to have this problem again. I then though maybe if i rooted and then got a good rom I might be able to fix it.
I just tried by doing a factory reset from stock recover and will see if that helps.
Thanks for the links of the rom.
If you're looking for a great ROM that's customizable go with DynamicKat 4.1, Im currently running DynamicKat 4.1 with the Orange GPE theme. I get great battery life and very fast and smooth. Also I would recommend them AllianceROM as well. It's just as customizable.
Here is the links for both ROMS

Looks like DynamicKat is a nc2 build. I might just have to try that out. Thanks for the info
No problem my friend [emoji4]
Well I installed the DynamicKat rom and I still get the screen freeze. Whats funny is when it happens I can still use the stylist but just not my finder. I wish I could remember what I did before to make the problem go away. Maybe I just have to keep resetting my phone till I get it right. I hope there is a fix for this. Make me not want to get another samsung phone and this is my 4th one.
Hmm it might be hardware related and not software.. But im unsure myself, maybe do some research on google and see if anyone else has had this problem

[Q] Old Note User Looking for some Info

I have had all except for the new one.
Dropped it in the toilet about six months ago, and haven't messed with it until last week. Works perfectly.
It's currently rooted with some unknown rom, and I would like to update everything to whatever is the most stable while not using a lot of resources.
How can I go about updating my Android system to this? I have SafeStrap (I think?) installed. As it asks me about it every time I boot.
Here's what's listed in the "About Device" column of my Settings
