Hi, what I would do is Odin Shabby's or AGAT's custom recovery found in the Android and Original Development sub-forums. Both are confirmed to work with creating and restoring backups. I've personally used Shabby's customer recovery twice to restore backups after testing CM10.1.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions.

Alright cool thanks!, I had the gs2 before this phone so I knew it was somewhat the same but I wanted to double check before killing my phone lol

Go to the Android Development forum and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread, and it provides excellent instructions on installing the recovery.
SLIMBEAN is working great BTW. I have been rocking it since it came out. I was so pumped because I got my S4 the day it came out and before that I was using Slimbean on my S3 so I'm glad the first AOSP rom up and running well enough for a daily driver was Slimbean!
Look out for Garywn's CM, AOKP, and PA roms, those she be up and running soon enough! Actually CM is in beta as well now!

Do it! Takes like two seconds
Yeah AOSP has none of the exclusive TW features, including but not limited to things like smart stay, air gestures, etc.
The camera has the standard AOSP features, still looks just as good, just missing some of the TW stuff!
SLIMBEAN looks so much better visually though then touch wiz haha, worth it.

[REQUEST] Stock Rooted Deodexed for P3100

Hi All,
Ok, first of all i know P3100 already got CM9 support and i know the rom is cool , already got taste of CyanogenMod on my LG P990 & HTC Desire...
But since P3100 already got android 4.0.4 updates, would be great if we have some custom roms based on existing 4.0.4 stock firmwares...
Sorry to ask, is that mean that the current CM9 based on 4.0.3 not 4.0.4? is there any compability issues like camera or something or is it work 100% fine?
CM9 is indeed android 4.0.4 ...
so far everything is working fine in CM9, even faster & smoother than stock rom, just some random bugs some user experienced like buggy video play, you'll find more info in their discussion thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727420 ...
it is just p3100 already got updated stock android 4.0.4 as well, so i think i want to stay in samsung stock firmware, yeah i know its slower than CM9 but stock firmware is much more stable(at least for me)... for that i would greatly appreciate if some generous devs upload a deodexed or even tweaked+deodexed stock samsung firmware based...
I just ordered the GT-3100 model, I should be seeing it, this week... with that being said.. are there any OC stock roms available?

so far no stock firmware based custom rom or even stock based custom kernel available for GT-P3100

codeworkx have done a great job to get GT-P31XX & P51XX CM9 support, thanks to him ... everything is working almost seamlessly and it's like you're owning a Nexus device with CM9 supports, it's just matter of time this device will get official buildbot CM9 Nightly status

Baked , AOKP. Both on a 3113 , I flashed some 3110 stock Romswell deodexed Roms at some point on my 3113 , they was pretty sweet.
Jelly Bean stock is soooooooo nice.Samsung did a good job on that. Very smooth but not much good if you want to make themes and try them out. so its back to CM1O , good base to theme on , but I do miss Baked, that's a bad ass ROM !
Aokp then cm10
Cm10 is found in www.teamhacksung.org
Sent from Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Tab2
Romswell for stock is the best stock jelly bean for me, but google now have problem (no voice recording).
CM10 for AOSP, but need to custom it as Trebuchet got many problems (i use Apex) and Kernel update with OC).
Aokp
@moliverac8 follow me and i follow back
cm9 last nightly - stable and fast
cm10 has some problems with icon placement but also fast
I`m not using cm10 because of audio routing problem (I`m using phone on my p3100)

Best ROM for TF101 Version 4.0.3

Im currently using Android Revolution HD, It seems ok but i expected more customization, I see almost no difference, Does anyone have some suggestions?
I've been looking at TEAM EOS 4 but noticed it's for 4.2, Would this work with 4.0.3?
Thanks in advance.
It isn't "for" 4.2, it is 4.2. You're going to be completely replacing 4.0.3. I've been using EOS 4, and think it's excellent. I tried the other CM 10 based JB ROMS and always went back to ICS because of issues. EOS 4 is more than stable enough as an everyday driver, and it got me interested in my TF again. I had been mainly using my Nexus 7.

Sorry for being a noob I installed my first custom rom yesterday, So i guess it's safe to install it? Would i need to "superwipe" before installing the new custom ROM?
No Superwipe. Just wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before installing. Don't forget to flash the latest GAPPS too. Many people also flash the KAT kernel. Your best bet is too read the first few pages of the EOS thread and follow the tutorial in the OP.

I would also recomend APEX Launcher with EOS4 as well. seems to run smoother then default lancher and it really opens up the customations of the tablet.

custom stock rom?

wasn't sure where to post this? does anyone know if any devs plan on making a custom, debloated, deodexed stockish rom for us? maybe something with some tweaks and a jellybeanish theme? i know we all want aosp but id like something to tide me over until aosp get a bit more stable.
id gladly donate to the cause.

Give them some time. We have several Devs with this device that are known for making the roms that you speak of. You don't want a rushed product.

Could a modified Touchwiz rom take up much less space than the stock one? I like a lot of things about the S4's TW, but it's also tempting to go to CM or similar and free up a few GB.

Apparently this wicked rom is ~400mb less than stock. I just finally downloaded and flashed, everything's good so far, just setting everything up

/system and /data are different partitions. Debloated ROMs use less space, but it is still stuck on the /system partition. Now you can move some apps to /system if you want but right now no one has repartitioned the S4 (and if you did it could mess s lot of stuff up
Moved to Q&A

Any one reverted back to 4.2.2

Just asking who has flashed 4.3 then found its full of bugs and then reflashed 4.2.2 !!

Me, just now.
Was unhappy with the scrolling (stuttery & laggy - to me it seemed like the touch sensor was being polled less because while your finger was touching & moving, the screen scroll stuttered, when released, it continued its scrolling smoothly)
Also, WiFi was sometimes not reconnecting - had to either reboot or forget / re-join.
also had an issue with the camera flash failing to operate after 3 or 4 photos.
I was beginning to think I was imagining my N4 was nice an smooth - but I got so annoyed with 4.3 I unlocked & flashed 4.2.2 factory image. IT Is DEFINITELY smoother.
Screen stutter/lag can be rendered by checking "hardware overlays" in dev options

I've flashed a couple of 4.3 ROMs starting with stock but keep going back to LiquidSmooth v 2.9. I don't see any degradation in performance with 4.3, I have been getting better battery life from LiquidSmooth.
There were a couple of apps that I use that were not performing well with 4.3. I decided to flash back to cm because of this. It was mainly Swype that was driving me crazy. I'm unsure if it was the fault of Swype not being updated for 4.3 or if it was the screen polling of 4.3 everyone is talking about.

I don't see hardware overlays. Do you mean "disable HW overlay " or "force GPU rendering" ?
These were default (I.e not disabled and not forced)
Im not sure these would help?!?!
I tried 4.3 two times, but after a few hours I reverted back to CM10.1 :silly:
I'll wait for good and stable custom kernels, and for good custom ROM's.
It's me. I expect 4.3 very much. I update to stock 4.3, Titanium can't remove system app. So I tried to use PA rom, version 3.91, while I'm download PA rom, I detect a new version of PA, version 3.92. I'm very suprise with PA group speed, they're provide rom patchs continuous. And I had to download from beginning. After that, I install new rom with a big expectation but titanium still can't remove system app. Finally I had to restore to PA 3.69 by TWRP and wait a new rom version :crying:
Tried a custom CyanogenMod 4.3 Build, but I prefer to stay with the "current" nightlies right now.
Theres a reason why they didnt start rolling out nightlies already.
A question, where did you get the CM build? Is it from the team itself or was it made by someone else?
4.3, same on the outside, fubar on the inside.
My fears about the head honcho of android chrome being made head of the whole OS have come to bare.
If it wasn't for the fact that 4.3 fixed the double dial issue for us Solavei users id go back to CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2)

I might revert back. I get several hours less battery time with 4.3 because Android OS "keep awake" is draining my battery. I never had such issues with 4.2.2. :/

Everything seems to be working well. I couldn't test BLE, because I don't have a BLE device, but otherwise everything seems to be fine.
Yea I went back to 4.2.2... I'll wait for liquid smooth too upgrade to 4.3 before I flash another ROM.
