Hi guys! This is my first time posting on this forum, but i have come to many threads as a visitor to figure out problems regarding my google nexus 4 and i have to say this is one of the most useful forums ever! I can find nearly everything here, its totally awesome..
now to the point, my question is Which one gives faster and better performance? Cm10.1 or combination of kernel franco r136 and rom paranoid android alpha? because i recently saw a video on youtube where this person was testing custom nexus 4 vs stock samsung s4 and using only franco r136 and paranoid rom he increased his performance by A LOT (compared to my antutu benchmark which was utterly disappointing.. around 16.5k ) without overclocking..
if the combination is better than how to install the kernel and rom (can anyone link me to a noobs guide to installing roms and kernels?) because i just rooted my phone 3 days ago without checking the "custom recovery check box" .. (btw, the nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 is awesome!!!) ..
i am currently running stock kernel and rom i think and my phone is only rooted.. (kernel version: 3.4.0 and build number jwr66y)..
Thanks for reading my first post and thread!

oke a question though.. since posting in that thread without actually trying to install a rom or kernel would be useless..
if i make a backup of all my apps.. and say i install cm10.1 or the combination i mentioned in my first post.. will i be able to restore my apps using the nexus root toolkit or will i have to install all my apps from again..?
I have a touchwiz device so im not fully qualified to answer your question. Thats why I gave you a ask any question for your device thread. Most members use apps like titanium backup to back there apps up

As far as I understand correctly, this is not an error message at all,
but a safety feature implemented in ICS.

So, it might be wise for the OPs to update their first post in any ICS ROM threads to tell people not to be scared.
Thank you koush, brainmaster, kwiboo and frasiscofranco for a very useful ICS ROM and kernel.
safety for what?
i had this several times but since everything worked fine i didn't think of it as an error..
from

Security for apps and content
Address Space Layout Randomization
Android 4.0 now provides address space layout randomization (ASLR) to help protect system and third party applications from exploitation due to memory-management issues.

its not only in clockworkmod recovery, its in twrp recovery too. its not an error.
Which is exactly the reason I request the developers to notify users of this. I would do it myself, but since I'm still a xda noob, I can't.

I noticed this error (0x315 for me) and I got worried. But, after seeing this, and now that the rom is currently booting up right, I feel safe.
Hello,
I am coming from an iOS world (no bashing please) and I first tried yesterday to update my Nexus One (GingerBread) to Jelly Bean. Although many forums post and blogs are available. It is nothing like easy for someone new in this world. Many acronyms, shortcuts etc ..
I summarized my experience in this blog post: www dot stormacq dot com/?p=494 (sorry for the link but stupid forum policies forbid forum newbie to post links. Not easy to share experience and information !!)
This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial, but just some highlight, warning and soem ways to avoid common pitfalls.
I hope it will be useful to others.
Seb
Give me more details:
Are you trying to install a aosp from your personal kang?
Are you trying to update?
Are you trying to port?
Why dont using some beautiful ports from developers section?

Not bad for an Apple fan tried to flash a Jelly Bean ROM I read your blog. It's not stupid forum policies but it's a way to prevent spammers post links to other sites.

Don't know if I understand :S
Just finished... Took me 6 hours!
I just did this, thinking that is wouldn't be so hard since I had unlocked and flashed CM 7.2 a while back. I feel like I definitely jumped into the deep end. I had never used fastboot usb or Blackrose and they were actually quite fun to learn to use, albeit frustrating. I think I had to reread like 5 different threads at least 10 times but I got there. 6 hours of solid learning!
I would love to see such a tutorial (I couldn't visit the link above, even after some 'dot'substitution/etc).
I am using CM7.2. I put CM on my N1 some months before, and just keep updating by installing new releases from CM. The nice thing is that I do not have to reinstall app/move data after each upgrade.
I would love to get step-by-step help on getting Jelly Bean (Evervolv rom), and wonder whether it'll be as "upgrade friendly" as CM afterwards.
Thanks!
i dint understand flashing the patch for hboot.. i did repartition using balckrose..
Nice blog post sebsto127. I did it slightly different in that I used OSX to manually install BlackRose.
Running the installer in OSX doesn't work as you've found (cant execute binary or something) so then I followed the instructions found in the BlackRose "manual" download..
All that did was screw my recovery partition and BlackRose couldn't install due to 'signature verify fail'.
After some searching through the BlackRose thread I found this (why it isn't in the OP I don't know): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29156664&postcount=1292
After reflashing 4EXT recovery all was good again.

Installing Blackrose allows you to repartition - Step #2 in the blog is to install the actual partition system for Jellybean
thanks!!
This might be somewhat off topic but I just want to mention that having tried both Evervolv's JB and Spazedog's, the Spazedog JB ROM has been much more stable for me and since it is based on CM, many of the CM customization options are there (Evervolv is closer to stock AOSP). You'll also want to overclock your processor to achieve optimum performance.
As for learning all this stuff, it seems to be a never ending process for me. I had unlocked rooted five devices since December but when I got my N1 a couple weeks ago...I was going crazy trying to learn about the particularities of this device (especially in regards to hboot & a2sd...neither of which are present/necessary on any other device I've tinkered with).

I ended up trying both Evervolv ICS and SpazeDog ICS. And find the latter smoother on my N1 (but I don't like the boot animation on SpazeDog )
I find the following helpful for ICS, and probably also what one need for JB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
As mentioned in many places by the devs, the JB is not as mature and there are known issues like camera. That's probably why there is not a complete instruction, by purpose.
Last but not the least, thanks for all the great things this community brings!
Hello all,
srry but im dont have 10 post yet, but I'm having trouble,
im using for long time cyanoge 7, after 9 and now the version 10.
But when im install version CM10-20120819-NIGHTLY-milestone2.zip, the phone works perfectly, cam, apps, switching screens is smooth, and it is pretty fast.
But if I install any other version that has left with improvements, the phone gets very, very, very slow, can not even write a message, anyone know what this might be, is it nescessário perform the downgrade to version CM10-20120830-NIGHTLY-milestone2.zip for example?
Thanks for help.

I guess reading the OP from this thread and the changelog was a bit hard ?
It's simple, that version is the last one with Froyo kernel support, all the subsequent ones don't.
It's why it's stated IN THE FIRST POST that IF you come from Froyo kernel (which is forced if you were on the CM7 from this forum basically), you HAVE to update to either the Chinese GB kernel (linked in the first post by Tezet) OR make an sbf update of your phone with the latest GB European kernel before flashing the new CM10.

There is a whole discussion thread about CM10 explaining how to work with it, the steps to install it in the op of the CM10 thread (or the CM9 ones, or the one in MS2 General forum explaining how to install CM9 on LatAm phones and other EU phones, and so on, on top of it being explaining like 10 times in Questions and Troubleshooting or the actual CM10 thread...).
As a registered user you accepted the rules of XDA, using the search function and searching before a question is one MANDATORY rule.
Being a lazzy ass not even wanting to go read the TITLES of the first page of the forums and/or the last 2 pages of the troubleshooting thread or the first 2 pages of the discussion and dev topics of a ROM is kind of painful......

Please read the very first post by Tezet. Tezet didn't provide Froyo support in his latest rom. So please follow his instructions to fix it.
If this cannot help you, I will suggest you to do full wipe and flash the newest rom again. It's amazing. I love it.
Your problems here could have been avoided by taking the five minutes necessary to read the first post of Tezet's thread completely mate.
As such, this thread is unnecessary, and I'm going to close it.
Please everyone, before you go flashing ANYTHING to your precious devices, make sure you read the fine print first!!!!
Hi all, my wife wants me to enable flash on her Nexus 7 which I obviously can't do as she has the latest ROM from Google on it (4.4 I think ), what's a good custom ROM ( by good I mean stable not interested in overclocking and all that other stuff ) for this device ? I've tried googling but have been overwhelmed with information so I thought I'd try here. TIA.

Bro, 1. this is the wrong section, only ROM/kernel/mod threads belong here and 2. this type of thread is not allowed by the XDA rules, because there's not a best ROM, it depends on your personal preference [emoji28]
By the way, I'm using PA 4 stable and it works very well for my needing
Oops sorry, by best I meant comes reccomended - will post in proper place next time thanks
Thread moved
As for most recommended, that is not much different than asking best
This is a development site and members seeking "best" or "popular" or "recommended" are advised to read through the Development sections
The ROMs are all there and you can assume the ones on the first page are most recent and most popular
Read through the threads to see any issues and if they will affect your usage or not
No one uses their phone exactly the same as you or your wife. So it is best to decide for yourself as to what is best.
You will find most users of a ROM will think that one is the best or most stable, so it all depends on the user.
Hello to everyone, I'm new in rooting and flashing but I tried sometimes. Now I'm on stock lollipop 5.0 I tried unroot as I saw on you tube but I can't get ota updates anymore even after wipe data reset etc. My fingerprint scanner is not working and also the camera is blacked sometimes. I wanna ask if I can solve all this and also if there is a fast and smooth rom with no problems. I read something about the zombie rom which is like s6. I hate touchwiz and maybe the new one is better. Can anyone give some advise?

Try wiping and flashing a stock rom in Odin. As for fast and smooth roms, the fastest roms are usually CyanogenMod or it's forks. I wouldn't recommend Zombie rom, as it has some basic bugs which need to be ironed out. And it's still running standard S5 touchwiz (plus some nice S6 mods and apps).
Basically if you want a stable, fast and non-touchwiz rom CM is the way to go.
Otherwise it's all very individual and depends on how you use your device, so the best way to know is to try for yourself. Threads about the "best rom" are usually forbidden. Also, since you say that you're a newbie I highly recommed to take some time to read ALL OF THE STICKY THREADS in each section of the S5 forum. Reading them usually helps A LOT. :good:
