Hi all,
I'm very new in the Android world, so please reply as if i'm a complete bastard
I've got a Galaxy Apollo (i5800), without simlock, running Android 2.1 from Samsung (original rom).
Now I read many thing about roms, jpm, jpf, jpg, jpw, jpz, jpb, etcetera etcetera. Now I really don't know what these terms mean.
The only thing I know, is that I would like to try a good custom rom, with easy installation. Do you guys know about a very user/beginner friendly rom?
And also, do I have to root my phone before I'm able to install a custom rom?
Sorry for my bad english and poor knowledge.
Thanks in advance for your reply

Hello, welcome to the android world!
jpm, jpm, etc are firmware builds of android 2.2 (froyo)
All custom roms have easy installation (with odin).
You dont have to root your phone before installing a rom!
Kyrillos
Check out the Flashing Guide and Videos on Youtube. ..try InDroid Rom or Kyrillo or Lestat Rom..all are good...

What do you guys think about this rom? youtube.com/watch?v=NY1cySzOh0U
This rom is based on XXJPM.
Will it work on my i5800, currently firmware version: PDA:JG6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JH2 (BSE), language: Dutch?
Will it be buggy, laggy? Will Samsung Kies still be able to detect my phone after flashing this rom?
And, when I don't like this rom, how easy will it be to get the stock firmware on it?
Last, but not least: is this rom going to drain the battery life of my phone?
Many thanks for the replies

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986831
You can't update with kies if you have a custom rom. you have to flash back
Thanks for the replies! I'm currently running Indroid 3.0, and it's working perfect!
It was very easy to install the custom rom, which I didn't expect.

Hy, i have also a question:
- If i flash with a custom rom/kernel can i then install official rom from Kies? Or it's irreversible?
Kies only works with official roms as far as I know...
If you flash a custom rom with odin, kies doesn't recognize the phone (and you can not install official rom from kies).
You can however flash an official rom with odin (rom from samfirmware).
- With the official rom kies also works again.
Thanks, i will be watting for the official rom for the 5801 and then i will install custom rom depending on the users feedback.
Hello,
I've tried to search the forum, but I only found customed ROM. It seems the latest ROM is XXCM2 (Changelist 1230243) for Europeans: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S5360
I'd like someone skilled to apply the basic stuff to this ROM. I guess the base is to deodex the ROM and make it a CWM package. Maybe it will need a % Battery mod too.
After that, everyone would be able to customize the ROM (remove bloatware with applications like link2sd or Root App Delete/uninstaller).
For now, on forum I see only custom ROM without stock UI (often ugly) and often it's not precised on which official ROM it is based, and it seems that most of these developers/cookers don't use the latest Samsung firmware as base...
If someone skilled can help, thanks in advance, else I'll give up with this phone.

only if you want to edit smali files you need to deodex, and for removing stock bloatware it isn't needed.
after flashing alomost all the possible roms for i9500, i noticed that any CM/AOKP/AOSP/PA roms gives very bad battery life.
i can actually see the % coming down as i use it very lightly that too.( just using gallery, File manager, SMS ,etc) :crying:
but this is not the case when i use a stock or stock based ROM. Stock gives amazing battery.
i even tried many different kernels, still no use,
is there any way i can get max battery life ( like stock) thru any of the CM/AOKP/AOSP/PA roms? if so which ROM and which kernel
cz i like the CM looks and easiness in functioning much better than stock . and i would like to use 4.4.3 or 4.4.4
Currently Running
Stock 4.4.2
KOT49H.i9500XXUFNC1 build
stock kernel
ROOTED
Baseband- i9500DDUFNA4
Hi,
Is it possible to create a ROM based on stock .87, but without ASUS interface (settings, quick settings, lockscreen and such) and ASUS/Zen UI? Something that looks like AOSP/CM, but uses stock kernel and software.
If so, what would I have to do? I've never created a ROM myself, even though I've been using custom ROMs since 2013. Would it be enough just to change the APKs for AOSP ones?
Thanks!

Just use empty stock android and flash gapps (I think there is empty stock room)
AOSP 5.0.2 use stock kernel
Hi Everybody,
I`m using custom rom(s) in my S7 Edge(G935FD). After upgrading to Android N form MM, I never use Stock rom. Now I want to use the Stock N rom.
That`s why I need these informations :
1 About the performances and stabilty
2.About the battery lefe
3.Viper - working or not with stock kernel (Essential)
4. Goolge Assistance - working or not (Optional)
And obviously the suggesstions (if any) - should use the stock or stay in the custom rom ? it would be more helpful if you pls specify the build (stock),best for battery life.
BTW, my preference is stable permance with a decent battery life.
Now I`m using the custom rom (DPLT), because of some more battery. As I`ve noticed that the DQB7 is not so good for battery life. Though it has a nice battery when the device is in Idle, but it drains some more battery when the device is in use than DPLT. I`ve tried different custom kernels , but the result remains more or less the same (as I`ve noticed).
Any suggestions will be highly appretiated.
