Hello everyone...this is my first post here. I got gifted a brand new U8800 pro device and i'm very happy of that fact. I've read a lot how to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 Gingerbread and i did it....after that i successfuly rooted the phone and finaly i'm wondering do i NEED to install ClockworkMod Recovery and what is the purpouse of this. Do i need to change the stock 2.3.5 with a custom ROM?Can anyone to tell me what the differences are? And finaly recomandations for some other from the stock one theme? Thanks
PS...sorry for my english...

1. You need to install CWM recovery only if you flash custom roms.
2. You dont need, if your happy with stock.
3. Differences are unique for roms. You can read them from rom threads usually.
4. Cant help you with theme
Stock roms are good but custom roms are way better than the stock.
Recently i change my stock rom with cyanogen and i see that the phone i faster than ever.
With custom rom you see the real power of the phone.
thank you julle131....and -TRANE-....i'll thing about changing the stock rom with the custom ones...thanks anyway
I recommend you installing CWM, you see, there are some really fancy stuff in UOT kitchen like more informative battery indicators and other goodness, and to install it you need custom recovery image.
What about custom ROMs, I've only tried CM7, but sadly sound of the back speaker is bad. Try it yourself, if you can cope with it then CM7, or maybe MIUI is the way to go, since custom ROMs almost always are better than stock no matter how good the last one is.

I'm not trying to be rude, but, besides you, who knows what is best for you?
You've provided a link to a specific ROM, so I am assuming you are interested in this particular ROM. I would read over the developers post and see what features are contained in the ROM and decide if your stock ROM is better suited for you or not. If you have questions about that ROM, you could post them in the same thread you linked. If you are asking if that ROM is stable, then you should probably post that question in that thread instead of this one.
Hope this helps and, again, not trying to be rude, just wanting to understand your question.
I tried this ROM and I thought is was great. If you want to stay very close to stock but retain root it is a great way to go. You can edit the boot.prop file to disable the cell stand by and save battery and I was able to flash an OC kernel. This is the best way to get stock 3.2 because if you use the ACER update you will loose root. I ended up choosing Taboonay 2.1 over this ROM because vache has an online kitchen that allows you to choose which Acer stock apps you want to install and skip the ones you don't. Also, the stock apps get installed on the data partition, so they can be unistalled and don't take up room in the ROM. You can't go wrong with either ROM though, they are both awesome.
Hope this helps.
thenk you both the question was if these is correct rom for me because if i'm downloading from the post of the stock's there's many rom's there so i understand that here it doesn't matter

No prob. Best of luck. I do not have my A500 yet but I have a Viewsonic Gtab. Like with my Gtab, I am looking forward to trying out the custom ROMs for the A500. If you invest in a good backup strategy, trying out a new ROM isn't an earth shattering experience.
Glad I could help. Which ROM did you end up flashing?
Hi there,
A friend of mine owns this phone, and although he likes it, the software is pretty bad because of the service provider software.
I have a NExus S and i have already made root to it, so i was thinking in doing the same to his phone.
I have saw this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
And i intend to follow it, but wouldn't it be better to instal something like 2.3?
Thank you for your help.

Yup, 2.3 is running stable on GT540, your friend can pick his choice, currently Miroslav's SDSL and AOSP are overall most complete out there. SDSL is CM7 by the way. Also there are various soft mods, so pick what you like.

Thanks for the fast answer.
So, i have to follow the guide i provided, and instead of installing the 2.1 rom, i installed one of the 2 you provided?
So, witch of the two you think its better? My fried prefers stability and speed over customization.
Sorry my ignorance, but it is a softmode?
Thanks.

You first have to upgrade to 2.1 with fastboot in order to flash recovery as described in these two guides
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
chose whichever you consider easier.
Unlike Nexus S, when you boot in GT540's fastboot mode you will see only black screen, nothing else, so don't be scared.
Also leoposas has tool to automate ADB and fastboot commands
Then when you have working recovery you can choose any ROM you like and install it through recovery.
You can use latest CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815189
or any other you recovery you like but make sure it supports Edify scripting (CWM version above 2.5.1.8, and other newer recoverys).
For speed and stability AOSP is excellent choice but SDSL is also pretty fast and stable.
Softmod is a modded ROM, that hasn't been built from source but modded after compiling usually with themes, scripts, tweaks, apps etc. For example someone uses some base ROM (CM7, AOSP, stock) and mods it. That's a rough explanation of softmod.
I have rooted my SGY S5360 and am using the CWM skin thingy(every time u gotta flash it to use cwm-temporary cwm). before flashing a new rom i wish to clarify a few things:
1) can i make a cwm backup of stock rom? if so, how?
2)SGY in different regions of the world have different csc(i think that what it called- like DXKKQ(that was made up, but u know what i mean)
so do i need to worry about this before flashing a rom?
3)do i need to flash kernels after roms for overclocking and stuff?
4)i know best rom threads arent allowed but what im asking for is the name of a good stable rom to start with.
5)what is the whole issue with hyperion 8? can i download it?
i know its a lot but pls bear with me...
thanks!

1)in cwm...go to backup and restore..and choose backup
2)no need to worry about that as long as ur device supported by that custom rom
3)yes..for overclocking u can use merruk kernel but it still unstable
4)i suggest u use hyperion 8 or remix or creed or evo
5)not sure about that
yes....he's right
i suggest u don't overclocking you're cpu..

Next week i'm getting a LG G2 and i would like some advice in which is the best ROM and Kernel i should use?
In other words i would like to know the best combination of ROM and Kernel for LG G2?
sorry for bad english
It's quite difficult to tell... Some people like AOSP roms better, some Stock...
LG's stock is amongst the best of stock roms imho so I suggest you first get to know it and then figure out whether you'd like to change or not.
As for kernels, same story here: if you prefer stability, stock is always better. Battery life is not dramatically improved by any of the kernels I've tried and it's really a matter of preference...
Sorry buddy but these questions either lead to "the depends" answer or to a non-sense argument, usually between stock-partisans and AOSP-partisans... Although for LG there seem to be a consensus around stock being very good anyway, unlike some other brands.
Now for the personal taste: CloudyFlex 2.2 with CloudyKernel is my current daily driver. Stable and smooth plus some great features from Flex rom.
If I helped you, please thank me

Root the device, install Philz Touch recovery and flash away. Doesn't matter which version you start with. If you come from JB and flash a KK rom, make sure you flash the KK baseband but that's all indicated in the OPs

sorry to ask so many questions,
the KK baseband is flashed after or before updating to KK?
and
is it possible to install cloudyflex 2.2 with TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679), because TWRP is much easier to install?
If you are wondering 'WOW, this guy must be really lazy?', my answer is yes, i am lazy, because internet in South Africa is expensive and very limited and i will thank you as many times as i need until i know everything i need to know!
Everything you need to know must be posted in the dedicated Q&A thread, no need open endless topics
You have 5 posts and already opened 3 threads, this looks like a small abuse...

Dude, I realize I already gave you all the links in another similar thread you opened...
I find Philz to be easy and it seems compatible with more roms but I can't vouch for that.
BB can be flashed before or after I believe. Or you can flash along...

Just try till u get the best that suits you
Hey guys,
Sorry for the noob question but I wanted to hear some of your opinions on this.
I got my Note 9005 shortly and after finally getting the Network to work, I decided to flash CM11 for now. I love CM11 but for a phone like the Note 3 which has an insane number of cool features, its not the best.
The problem is, I would use the stock rom for all the features but I absoloutely hate Samsungs UI and with the trouble ive been having with Odin, I thought id ask if there was a different rom I could use?
Is there some sort of alternative to the stock rom which:
1) I can flash with recovery
2) Has alot of the stock rom features
3) Does not look like a child made it (sorry to people who like TouchWiz)
I hope someone can help.
Thank you!
Better go for heavily themed roms based on stock rom

Hi, i have read it. Why dont you try some AOSP ROM: C-rom, Cacbon Rom
Carbon rom looks good but im more looking for something that takes full advantage of the Notes features not just Androids customizability.
If you really like "features" you may want to try a stock based rom like Omega or XNote
