Dear All Experts,
I'm a newbie for Android and do have some questions to ask you guys. I have a rooted MT4G.
Dump question (possibly)
Do custom Roms come equipped with latest device software update ( Froyo and soon to be Gingerbread ) or I would have manually update my device software again once Gingerbread is out before I could flash new custom Roms again?
Flashable roms include all the software you will need. If/when gingerbread rom comes out - all you will need to do is wipe and flash.
Your apps are updated through market, rom has nothing to do with it.
Thank you very much for your comment.
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!

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.
This installation can be used for the majority of custom ROM installations.
If a Dev does not explain the flashing of a ROM process properly ask him to put this in the description if this worked for you.
(it does work for you but some roms such as miui are installed differently)

I've asked a couple of questions in various threads but haven't received answers, so I'll try again in a dedicated thread.
1. I want to unlock bootloader, root, and install a custom ROM (Lineage). For the unlock step, is there any disadvantage to doing the official unlock if I don't need OTA update notifications for stock ROM?
2. Are Lineage and ViperOS the only custom ROMs available for this phone?
3. Are there any features in the stock ROM that I would lose going to a custom ROM because they require something inherent to ZenUI? I remember on my S4 some features would not work when I switched from Touchwiz rom to vanilla android.
Thanks
Hi Moderators and friends,
Can anyone advise the links to the latest official version of clean Andriod (> v5.0) ROM for this phone? Or what are the different official version available with good links to the ROM and installation instructions? Appreciate all feedbacks. [ Preferably bug-free version working for all sensors on the phone ].
Best regards.
Wrong section
Stock official roms is that what you mean ??
Custom built not official roms are posted in development threads .
All roms have instructions and all rom threads have a search button .
Hi there,
Thanks for replying. Not the Samsung Stock Official roms but likely what your suggested custom built roms that are clean and very much same as Android roms with out manufacturer pre-installed apps.
Is there any such "clean" Android custom built rom for Samsung Note3
Best regards.
