recommend a rom

after becoming fustrated with the lack of a update for north/latin america, ive decided to flash my phone. Im currently on jh2 and its working really well without problems. Ive download jpm to flash but not sure if it will work as its a european rom and also been hearing recently it has a few bugs like the battery showing an incorrect percentage.
So can any1 tell me if it will work/recommend me one that will.

Well i can tell you one thing - you will be getting lots of advises !
However, first you might try the latest Canadian Firmware which was released last week since that seems to be the closest stock ROM you can get for North America
P.S. - You might check THIS THREAD too...

That jpm bug is real i think

First thanks for responding, Ive seen the canadian rom but it barely been tested. I think only 2 ppl have tried it.

I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123 with the latest fugumod

I've installed indroid 4.2 and it's a really nice rom. The only thing until now that's not working is the gps. It takes really long time to get a fix. And when i get a fix, my google navigation crashes. In indroid 3 it was working perfectly.

Thanks for all the responses guys. As this is my first time flashing ill stick with stock. I have the the jpm without bootloader files so ill give it a go.
Btw anyone know if its recommended to remove your sim and sd when flashing or optional.

use stock JPM most of the custom roms are stock modded and nothing special..
Use stock and your own ****ty tweaks which is a lot better !

I recommend cyanogemod....Marcellusbe is working on that. It will be great if he finishes it.

try Destiny Based on JPN, and its fully stable.

I recommand the Kyrillos'ROM 5.5
It's the more stable and battery saver rom i've ever tried !

And yes, cyangenmod when it's finished, big thanks to marcellusbe
sorry for my english.

Even the indroid developers respond very quick and to the point. Rudolf is awesome. @everyone: go for indroid 4.3

Hi
My preference is:
Kyrillos 5.7 JPM-based with Fugumod 2.2 Bleeding Edge kernel OC 1300mHz
Most stable ROM I've used, quick responses and no FC so far (only been using again for 8 days but hey all the others I tried would FC a few times a day). I love it!
Switched to Indroid for a while and it is good but went back to Kyrillos as I prefer it.

Ive finally flashed (jpm). I just couldnt wait anymore. Everthing seems to be working good thus far, Thanks for all the help.

for american roms try stock DTLKDA or rafo's ROM those are the only ones I know for america I am currently on Rafo's Rom and its very stable btw I am new to this forum

I would recommend using team lambent kitchen and creating your own personal rom. I'm using jpq with g3 v1.32 lite for extra stability. G3 has a ram script built into it already so just remember not to install the ram hack performance mod.

Get jpm and customize it according to your needs...

Anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM?

Hi Guys,
Did anyone tried KingDroid ICS 1.6 ROM....any review or suggestion?...presently i am on CM9...is it worth flashing to it?

Dear abheshekk,
I am on v1.6 now and it is very smooth&stable... Cm9 is still in its early beta stage and may have much more bugs than tw based kingdroid v1.6... It is worth to flash according to me... V1.6 contains latest ported apps from sgs3 ics rom including toucwiz ux... Call rec is enabled and all spen stuff is working... I am very satisfied with v1.6...
Kind regards.

Every time you change ROM you should wipe, just be careful with the brick issue when wipe on ics stock kernel

My point was when someone is asking a group of people about opinion on something I will keep quite when I haven't tried it. Posting for the sake of posting in a thread is not a great idea.

I'm on LPF + bootloader flashed using Dr.Ketan instructions. Does anyone moved from this LPF to KDv1.6?
how do you do it? no matter if it does wipe.

It's fine, but I like Rocket Rom more. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I ran with eybee's old ICS leak which was awesome.
Rocket Rom v2 + my SGS3 theme = smooth as hell.

Alternatively the OP could have read the KingDroid thread and make his own decision based on what people report in that thread instead of making a new one that clutters up the forum.

Try it. Rom, is very stable, new touchwiz is amazing and s voice works better than just installing the app on other ROM.

I'm using it right now, it's mostly smooth but google maps randomly FCs and after hanging up on phone calls it freezes for 5 seconds or so.

Yeah I'm getting that issue too! But otherwise it's a stable rom though it doesn't really work to well if your planning on using I like better but I have a feeling that Rocket Rom is going to be my choice just because I loved the GB equivalent.

Fool proof instruction from LPF (Ketan)
First get these to files on SD(cant post links, google pls):
CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3 (get the .tar since Mobile Odin can not flash .zip)
AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Original Logo (.zip vers.)
and the Kingdroid Rom
Download Mobile Odin(pro) and flash CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3
Now Boot into recovery and flash AbyssNote kernel, still in CF-Root go to advance and reboot recovery (so now you are in abyss recovery)
In Abyss first Wipe Data/Factory after that wipe Cache and then wipe Dalvik
Now install from SD and chose Flash Kingdroid rom
Reboot and enjoy GNote

Urgent! Wifi problem!

Hi guys, i rooted my phone days ago and i decided to flash a custom ROM into it. I chose AOKP latest nightlies build but after flashing it i realise that the wifi is not working (take forever to turn on in grey color even after i rebooted for many times).

Try wiping cache, davilk cache and then data. If WiFi still don't work try reflashing ROM. If the issue still here, try flashing factory image and see if the WiFi is working. If it is working on stock ROM, install CM or Paranoid Android or SlimKat.

Thanks for the reply. i tried reflashing rom but the pproblem is still there. The WIFI work perfectly in stock ROM.. Anyway, any Nice ROM have similar customization as AOKP recommended?

Restore your Nandroid backup, it would definitely solve the problem.
Btw what device are you on?

Well, you can customize every ROM with Xposed which is now out for Android 4.4. I'd recommend you SlimKat but to be honest it dosen't have many features due to early Alpha stage of KitKat but they are coming in every update!

If you've gone from 4.3 to a 4.4 rom, you may need to flash the latest radio to have WiFi working.

II guess it's kernel problem.. I try to flash franco.Kernel.Plus-r193-1110-JSS-CAF but the phone wont start at all...

If you insist on staying on 4.3.1, i would like to suggest the below rom:
AOKPK by kecinzer

Download this version:
aokpk_mako_jb-mr2_daily_1310271731
http://goo.im/devs/kecinzer/aokpk/mako
It comes with forked of franco.Kernel JWR version with new prima drivers (faster wifi speed, better battery life). Its a great rom with lots of features.

You need to change baseband to something like .33. Look on xda and you will find it.

Thanks for the suggestion What if i wanted to move to 4.4? Any good suggestion?

Hello, you have to flash older radio to enable wifi. Try version 84. Just flash the zip from CWM.

I‘ve met problems similar to you using AOKP, I've solved it by flashing another stable AOKP rom.

i had my nexus on 4.4 rooted, when i use a rom based on 4.3 wifi, bluetooth and sounds doesnt work, when i flash a rom based on 4.4 (omni, crdroid) everything work just fine... could it be a RADIO problem??? where i can find the older radio since the link in here doesnt work?
Thank you

Well, everyone has their own preferences. There are many great 4.4 roms out there. I could not suggest something that I've had never used before. I've tried a few roms and only the below stayed on my phone:
Multiboot:
•Cataclysm-Nov-25 - by atlantis
•Project KitKat v2.1 - by gnome
Kernel:
•hells-Core-b42 (kexec-harboot patched)
•AK.207.KK
Give yourself chances to try some other rom. There is nothing to loose. Nandroid backup your existing rom. If you don't like the new rom, restore from Nandroid. You'll then determine which rom suits you best.

i found out the solution is very simple....
if you use a 4.4 based rom.... flash the radio version 97
if you use a 4.3 based rom.... flash the radio version 84
thats it

Kernels that support Fauxdisplay?
Hello,
I'be been using Mahdi for a long time now and love it. I'd like to test out some other kernels, but don't want to lose the ability to run Fauxdisplay for color correction. Can anyone suggest kernels that support it? Will any kernel with "gamma control" work, or are only some of them specific for use with Fauxdisplay? Thanks!

Most kernels use faux's gamma control, some use Franco's, just read the feature list of the kernel which should be in the opening page of the kernel thread.

Will development of Mahdi ROM stop after kitkat for Nexus 4 or all devices... Heck I wouldn't mind getting a Nexus 5 or OPO just to continue to enjoy Mahdi ROM!

@mahdi always release excelent ROM
great performance,smooth and stability
THANKS..

As someone else also pointed out.. Clean flash and try or else flash a another kernel like Semaphore or any other (wipe cache and dalvik after fishing) and see if it fixes it for you. Without logs there is not much one can do.

It is just a final build for kitkat as Lollipop is about to come out. If Mahdi got some time to spend, maybe he will be building for Lollipop. All of us hope he will be building for lollipop. Just chill out dude. Enjoy the last version of Mahdi's kitkat till L come out.

Are you using stock kernel that comes with the rom or you are flashing other kernels? If so, maybe you undervolted too much.

Can anyone recommend gamma calibration settings as I am trying to get the Nexus 4 colour profile to something like Obsanity or Kel Ghu (Gamma 2.2) profiles.
Gamma settings for changes made within Mahdi Rom I do not want to use other managers or kernels.

ART
Can I switch from Dalvik to ART in this Rom ?
Or can I brick my phone ?

I'm coming from a Vanilla rootbox, 4.2.2, can I install directly this one or I need to install a stock 4.4.2 before?
thanks

Gmail crush
I'm using the latest version of Mahdi Rom and Gmail is crushing every time I try to compose a new email. Gmail app is the latest version.
Any idea how to fix this?
