Hi Guys,
I've got a stock A500 and due to the conflicting reports as to whether Acer will provide an OTA update to Jellybean, I've decided to flash a custom ROM as there as some minor quirks that are starting to bug me.
Anyway, I've found the thread to explain what to do - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 - but it's left me with a couple of questions.
Selection of ROM
I can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136 there are links to various threads relating to custom ROMs such as CM10 Jellybean, AOKP Jellybean and CM10 Jellytime etc.
1) These have other topics scattered throughout so I was wondering if there's a page that summarises the various JB ROMs out there with a link to their topic page?
2) Without knowing each of the developers, how does one choose which ROM to use? Is there such a thing as a "vanilla/Plain-Jane" JB ROM?
3) Each of these topics have the first post outlining the ROM with a link to the zip file. Does the author update this link in the 1st post if there's update to the ROM or do you need to read through all the posts to see if the author has an updated link?
4) Once you've installed a custom ROM, how do you know if there's updates? Does the Update in Settings work or do you need to manually come back to the topic and see if the zip file is updated?
ROM/Kernel
At http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 it says that you need
external SD card, root rights, unlocked bootloader (if you're on stock ICS), custom recovery and a custom ROM of your choice.

Yet further down it talks about Custom ROMs and Custom Kernels.
1) What are the differences?
2) What does a Kernel do?
3) Do I need this or just the ROM?
Thanks
PS - Not sure if this topic is better suited to be in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136, but since it's a question, the rules say that it should go in the Q&A section.
uhh... guys i hav a sgy and i wanna install cyanogen mod 9 on it. sooo i hav senn forums on this but had no luck. i want a final version of cyanogen mod for my sgy all i hav seen r betas for devs wch are full of lag and bugs i need a final version wch is proper and i also need a software to backup all the stuff on my phone to my pc (ps:i dont want mediago) wch can backup literely everything on my sgy to my pc including contacts messages ect everything and i hav creeds rom rite now an old version of it soo do i need cyanogen mod 7 flashed and installed before installing cyanogenmod 9 guys plz reply ASAP need help! :cyclops:
creating thread asking for a build to come out of beta won't do any good - its in beta because there are some complex patches which are either in the making or they are impossible to make ATM because of limited availability of sources/documentation and/or incompatibility with existing libs.
also afaik you don't need cm7 to flash cm9 but you do need a supported kernel
why fix it if it ain't broken ?

Its easy to ask for a rom but it is very hard to make. We only have betas because our sources are not conpleted unlike galaxy mini, ace, etc please stop posting things like this. You can't just ask for stable versions. If you want. Then build it yourself.
Don't Forget To Press Thanks.
Please Dont make THread for SUCH Silly Reasons.
There is already A thread for this,pls search before you post.
oHK!
thxxx guys ! i hav downloaded a unofficial version of cmmod 9for sgy will it work allri8 on my sgy. and i also need a software to backup everything on my phone to the pc. literally everything! including messages , contacts,etc ,apk's,data i need software for that soo plz could gimme a link r a name of a good software pc? (PS: i dont want media go)
For contacts, you can simply export contacts data to memory card, for backing up SMS you can search SMS backup and restore in Play Store. And lastly, Titanium Backup can backup your apps and data.
A NOTE TO EVERYONE ASKING FOR CM9:
This is a developer's only release,
it is unstable, unusable, useless, buggy, laggy build,
we got it booting, and made some things appear,
that is all,
unless you are a developer trying to fix the bugs and provide a workaround to those issues,
feel free to install,
if you are a basic user and just want CM9 for lulz or fun or if you think it is usable,
be my guest and flash it, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
please note,
we don't provide tech support to CM9 since we can't even get it to run properly,'

I donno who made you the senior member.
You are nuts! When CM9 was booted so lately on galaxy Y, you expect a final version to come out without broadcomm drivers, EH?
Well you might not be knowing this S#!t as it is only known to devs. Well hear it, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get even a Release Candidate for SGY while M Snapshot will be available by 20-30%.
Talking 'bout M snapshot and release candidate? These are versions of CyanogenMod. Hope this discussion is sufficient enough for you to understand! (Edit : Though I too get irritated waiting for this thing years and years! )

asking for a 'best' of or 'bugless' something is against xda rules
please look in the dev section
all kernel features are listed on the op
to change kernel simple download it and follow the instructions on the op
in most cases its
go into cwm recovery
mount system
flash zip
restart
I would start by reading the following kernel threads
For Galay Y Duos
[ROM][KERNEL] XDuosV3 2.0 for Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102[STABLE]new release version!!!

they all use the same samsung stock source code for custom kernels so there isnt really a latest as such - the thread date is just the date that custom kernel was built/uploaded
if you want the latest stock build of kernel flash the latest stock rom firmware for your region via odin - search sammfirware for firmware but you will need to use splitfus2 to split it to flash via odin
however custom kernels have more features such as ext4 support and more freqencies/govs - all these are listed on the op of the kernel thread
I use a kernel (not for duos) that was built ages ago but it works and does what I want so why change

1.Don't compare Micromax from SGY.They both have different hardware specs.
2.Yes!

dont think you quite understand what a kernel is/does - changing your kernel wont make games play any better to the extent you can play hd games
you cant play candy crush on galaxy y because it requires an armv7 processor as do most games with hd graphics - galaxy y is armv6
If you want to play games the only option is to get a better phone

a kernel wont make your phone look any better - its for battery performance and smoothness and running of the rom - visually there is no difference
I think you have a kernel confused with something else
if you want to change how the phone looks - eg different status bar and icons and so on you want to flash a custom rom

its a rom and a custom kernel - if you like the look of it and it has features you require then use it by following the instruction on the op
it will not however allow you to play candy crush if thats what you are hoping for as iv already said the galaxy y is only armv6 and you need an armv7 processor

Hi, I have a Galaxy Y Duos S6102. I have a bit of idea bout the ROM, Recovery, Kernel and Firmware so I have a few questions related to my phone which I wanna customize as much as I can.
I have been searching around and I wanna know, can we install the same ROM's/Kernels/Firmwares for both the devices? Namely Galaxy Y Duos S6102 & Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360??For eg, Hyperion+CWM/Twrp and so on...
Since we know bout the developing and ongoing stages/phases of development of different products and (Unfortunately but true, and no offense, please!) how they claim it to be stable but usually or sometimes aren't, I would be really glad to have some guidance as in what ROM/kernel/Firmware/Recovery I should be aware of and all that. I have searched all, but I am just not able to decide which ones are good, for example Hyperion seems awesome but I am not sure if it is stable or not. Also, sometimes there are combinations such as firmware+rom, and so on... i wanna know which ones has these combos and can we add in customized if we wish? For eg if the rom comes along a firmware, can we flash our own firmware as per choice? What bout stability?
At the end, I will have my pre-requisites written down here:
1. Listen to a lot of music and sometimes YouTube. Sometimes a few games, fb and such.
2. Wanna use some cool apps that requires root.
3. Need battery, a bit of performance increase too if that's ok but battery defo.
4. Customization in looks, like in AOSP and so on, not necessarily AOSP lock screen but custom looks in general(like in ViperOne, not that I wanna/intend to compare)
According to these, can I please have someone suggest me individual working combinations of ROM/Kernel/Firmware and Recovery? I know this is not ethical to ask such questions(comparison related or "What's best", respects to all developers) but I am just trying to see compatibility not asking which ones are the best. I will be greatly obliged to anyone who helps, I would much appreciate if someone who owns a similar phone and has the same mods on it will suggest so I can take some reviews bout their experience too.
best rom/kernal threads are not allowed on xda
if you want to try the roms feel free but if this turns into a I reccommend xyz rom or what roms have less bugs I shall report it for closure
for your other question
yes you can install 5360 roms on duos however they will not fully work
for example you wont get dual sim support and the usb smali in the status bar is different so it wont connect to pc
you would need to correctly port them and mod some files
all roms features and bugs are on the op of each thread
stock based roms are "stable" as you put it
cm based roms will have bugs due to lack of drivers - all will be explained on the base rom used thread

use the updater script and binary from a custom stock rom for your device - normally works - you can edit the text if required
Weird, my intent was not to compare roms or anything but just to make sure the roms are "compatible" with my duos n wont strip down functionality(like dual sim, both sim r being used). I find this strange that u find it ok for everyone to try multiple combinations as u would, ignoring the fact that some people might have different priorties n maybe dont wanna play around like that. I am not asking whats best, i am askin whats not best for my phone. Can u comprehend? secondly i do understand the stock versions r more stable thats why my question remains... Being which ones r "compatibly" close-to-stock with my phone. I dont wanna brick my phone or strip down functionality, my device is different n obviously there r some things which wont b compatible for my device.. i just need a good combination of rom recovery kernel n firmware possibilites or options i can choose from with the above pre requisites. I dont see no comparision. Its like a person is simply asking what shoes will fit him the best if he has a particular size of feet. Lol

please read the rules of xda before posting
best rom threads are not allowed
this includes asking for whats the best rom to do xyz
it also includes the oposide of above ie what rom cannot do this or not best for this
all the roms features are on the op
if its a duos rom it will support dual sim unless otherwise stated in the bugs list
I shall now report this thread for closing as it seems you are trying to get which rom is best for your needs
To answer your question about shoes
well obviously if he is size 10 he will require size 10 shoes - what size 10 shoe he chooses is down to personal preference which is why what is best for him is not best for someone else who is also a size 10 - get it? thats why best threads are not allowed
Mod Edit
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

possibility for a custom kernel for lollipop g900h
hey, i own a galaxy s5 G900h exynos variant. there are absolutely no good custom kernels for this model. is there a possibility that someone might make one with cpu, gpu OC and more governors. i have become so frustrated that i want to learn to make roms and custom kernels myself. if anyone would please build a kernel for us or guide me through the steps then u will be making a lot of people happy.
Many thanks!
Installed all ok.
Just need to install Samsung email app from bloatware zip you provided. What should the permissions be set to?

Never mind. I Found the correct folder and file settings you kindly provided in post #111 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-zephyr-lite-v1-rooted-knox-free-t2841674/page12
For the un-initiated, (like me) copy the required app's folder (from the bloatware .zip) and paste it to your system/app folder, set the permissions and reboot.
Voila!
Thanks again for rom for G900H. Lolipop is certainly smoother / faster than KitKat!
I am new at this so very sorry about this question.... Will this rom work in India... on India phones?
Hello,
I would like to know, for some of my apps like Facebook, Clash of Clan, Fling ... When I launch them, i have a black screen and the app crash.
Do you have a solution ?
I read on a forum that maybe CoC is not compatible for Lolipop. But what's about Facebook ?
Best regards, thank you
EDIT : I reinstalled the rom. Maybe the problem came from Titanium Backup, cause I did a restore.
Bloatware
Hi, I installed your ROM. So far so good. I was wondering the other bloatware file how do I instal it, I mean there are certain apps from the stock ROM I would love to use.
I've been using this rom for a week now and it's super! Love it!
Is this basically lollipop Boad build but lighter, faster and without boatware? If I have already installed stock Boad on my g900h, and I already have a custom recovery should I follow step 2 or just wipe and install via custom recovery?
Updating
Hi,
1st of all congratulations on a great Lollipop ROM for the G900H.
I have installed on my G900H the Zephyr Lite v4 BOA7 version, comming from the BOAD Stock ROM and everything works GREAT!!!
My baseband/BootLoader is already BOAD.
So I just want to know if I need to do a clean install to instal the Zephyr Lite v4 BOAD, or just a "simple update."
Thanks,
youpi for zephyr rom 900H
ok cool for zephyr rom g900h .. it will be funny to see the developpers who made fun of exynos version nox galaxy s6 come with heuuuu....ooops only exynos version.game over
request for custom kernel
hey there. been rocking your rom for about a week now. great battery life and performs quite good. did a full wipe before installling. everything looks good. not many bugs as such. i just wanted to request you if you could make a cystom kernel with your rom. with governors, cpu and gpu oc and extra i/o schedulers. our G900H has no good ones . i would be happy to test whatever u build. just pm me or email me at [email protected]
900h from french west indies

Very Good Rom For G900H
Thanks very much to you. This the best one for G900H
