Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

. Are you taking about using the SDMerg Mod to increased your memory? I dont have a problem with it, I can transfer video,music and images to my phone... as well as apk files.

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.

is it possible to dual boot the note 4. i am using N910C, with twrp and android 5.01
i wanna try different custom roms
Not yet afaik, I know Paul obrien made a dual boot a while ago, but I've not seen anything for the note 4. It does require a fair bit of work, it's possible but more than likely improbable unless someone with skill is already working on it.
i am also interested in dualboot
nothing yet?
Hello everyone I'm new here I just recently rooted my Galaxy S4 i9500 and I want to put in cool speedy Rom.
I also heared that I can combine it with lolipop or something? I dont realy understand it yet I hope you can explain it to me help me choose what's best for me without bricking my phone....
Also I would like to know what apps I must have after rooting or what apps you recommand for me?
Any help will be aprreciate thanks for all !
Start reading as much as you can on this forum and learn from it.
You won't brick your phone, that's almost impossible. That has never happend when flashing custom roms.
Just flash a custom recovery for the i9500 and start flashing the rom you want to try. Always read the first post of the rom and probably the last few pages of the thread.
First of all thank you for the reply, Finaly!
Someone offered me the omni rom with lolipop.
I mainly looking for speedy tweakinish rom and it seems awsome,
but maybe there more roms even better?
also I saw you need to delete anything from the phone
b4 you put a new rom so my question is how I save the
important apps and data and if i can skip all the crap i used to have??
Question
Hi! I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (I9506) and i'm on stock rom (4.4.2, I9506XXUCNF3). I successfully installed a TWRP recovery via ODIN. Root done and it works. Now i want to flash the PAC lollipop ROM. Do i need something else to do before flashing? Thank you in forward!
Hello Everyone
Since the G901F Model has only few Roms , thanks to @fawadshah33 we finally are able to port roms from Note 4 device ( 910F ) anyway i was trying to port this Rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/norma-n7-port-910g-f-t3458481 i replaced the boot.img with the stock MM of the G901F device , then flashed the rom and after used the MM auto-porter that @fawadshah33 provided and restarted the device
For a second i felt happy when i saw the boot animation then after like 5 seconds the animation stopped , the device vibrated then the screen become black and it was stuck there
I really need the help of expert devs to at least tell me this problem is from what exactly , usually if there is a problem the rom don't boot at all but this one boots for around 5 seconds then the screen turn to black and the device vibrate
i really appreciate your help guys and thank you in advance

you can't port "n7 for n4" rom for s5 using auto port, if you can then so many n7 port rom are available now, you just can auto port any "s7,n5 for n4" for s5 for now

not sure 100% for all but some rom like "dr.ketan", "noble", "s7e for n9100(china forum)" that you can using auto port now, those 3 rom i think would be the best port for now, other than that if you want note7 port rom you need a custom kernel to boot up

i just like you i'm just a user not a developer so not sure about anything, since there are no developer for g901 and g906 now we can't kown exactly what wrong with port rom, i try 2 rom from 1 developer in china forum, he use 1 kernel(i see in image that is stock kernel) for both of them, the "s7e for n4" rom can auto port for our s5 but the n7 rom can't, so i'm not sure that about kernel, all i know that all the n7 rom port for "normal s5(g900)" using custom kernel

i think that you should use dr.ketan for now because that rom fully english, the rom in china forum has some modify that you can't change it to english easy, but if you want to test then here you are, try some rom if you want and remember n7 port never work for now, other that aurora like v9 not work too, you can test some rom and post here what rom work so everybody can use
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1545&page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=11661
you can try "s7e v2" by S5feng that rom can boot up, remember to using auto port too
oh and onething the developer make that auto port from the first 6.0 base so if you in higher base you need to use odin to get back the first 6.0 base of your divice

it mean if you in higher base you can't use that auto port perfectly, if you read all 5 page of auto port thread you can see the guy make auto port for higher base rom said it may have some bug so if you want using auto port without any issue you need to get back the lowest 6.0 base

i don't know, as he said the rom still can boot but he have issue with calling that he can't hear any voice, i never try in higher base before, and if you in higher base and still want to port you need to make a new auto port because the auto port in #1 using every file from lowest 6.0 base

well as i said if you on lastest base you must build 2 new patch if you want to port, if you use 2 patch in #1 you must on the lowest base 6.0, flash rom->port_901f...->auto porter, reboot recovery after every zip, that should work
Hello everyone! I would like some help if someone can do the "CHARITY" I'm currently out of work and I only have this cell phone "Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duo SM-G355M" and I just can't make any CUSTOM ROM work with at least Android version 5.0.1 all I've tried have the same problem "I CAN UPDATE" using TWRP but after the BOOT is stopped at the boot screen (Custom ROM logo) infinitely I've tried more than 20 different roms and none works only one of PACMAN I managed to boot this one no the SIM CHIP works so it makes the cell phone useless! Only the STOCK ROMs have worked but these are heavy because they come with the DAMN APPS and this cuar is very weak there is not much space and little memory either! It's almost impossible to use APK on it..
My question is if this type of cell phone (garbage, by the way) is blocked by the manufacturer so as not to UPGRADE?? Only ROM works with KitKart 4.4.2 ???
Can someone help me? Thanks in advance for everyone's attention!
