Hi! So I've been searching all over the web for some custom roms for my device, actually, for ANY custom rom. I know is kind of a new device, but still! I would like to change the sotock rom for cyanogen mod 10, please if you know where I can find these roms HELP ME!:crying: Oh, and what if I install a rom that was made for the L5? That is e612 for example. Would I have any issues? Cause these two devices have slightly different hardware. Thank you!
There is no cwm for our device yet, so you won't be able to flash the Rom. I am not to clued up with that side of things but I am pretty sure that it would cause an infinite boot loop if you flash the wrong Rom. If it was that easy we would be able to use the sane tool for the l5 to install cwm on the l5 II. You can root your phone though, you can do an awful lot of stuff with root and its a great learning experience porting apps when you don't have cwm.

Just a change in the cpu? That changes everything.
Not to mention it's a mtk cpu. Oh, but I did mention it. There are no cyanogenmod roms for phones using a mtk cpu. I dare you to find one.
I undersrand you know very little about how things work with custom roms, but watch your language.

Hi there,
A friend of mine owns this phone, and although he likes it, the software is pretty bad because of the service provider software.
I have a NExus S and i have already made root to it, so i was thinking in doing the same to his phone.
I have saw this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
And i intend to follow it, but wouldn't it be better to instal something like 2.3?
Thank you for your help.

Yup, 2.3 is running stable on GT540, your friend can pick his choice, currently Miroslav's SDSL and AOSP are overall most complete out there. SDSL is CM7 by the way. Also there are various soft mods, so pick what you like.

Thanks for the fast answer.
So, i have to follow the guide i provided, and instead of installing the 2.1 rom, i installed one of the 2 you provided?
So, witch of the two you think its better? My fried prefers stability and speed over customization.
Sorry my ignorance, but it is a softmode?
Thanks.

You first have to upgrade to 2.1 with fastboot in order to flash recovery as described in these two guides
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
chose whichever you consider easier.
Unlike Nexus S, when you boot in GT540's fastboot mode you will see only black screen, nothing else, so don't be scared.
Also leoposas has tool to automate ADB and fastboot commands
Then when you have working recovery you can choose any ROM you like and install it through recovery.
You can use latest CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815189
or any other you recovery you like but make sure it supports Edify scripting (CWM version above 2.5.1.8, and other newer recoverys).
For speed and stability AOSP is excellent choice but SDSL is also pretty fast and stable.
Softmod is a modded ROM, that hasn't been built from source but modded after compiling usually with themes, scripts, tweaks, apps etc. For example someone uses some base ROM (CM7, AOSP, stock) and mods it. That's a rough explanation of softmod.
i'm pretty newb when it comes to phones and roms, but anyway i've managed to get a Pacman 4.1.2 JB rom on my phone, working lovely.
Now i'm wondering about overclocking.
I can't seem to find any Kernels anywhere for this device, or if it's even kernels i'm supposed to be looking for?
My nexus 7 i just change the kernel if i want faster processor, but not so sure with my HD2.
Any help would be appreciated
Custom ROMS's have kernels with overclocking in them
Just install SetCPU and have fun. Alternatively, use the built in controls in developer settings.

I think you have a "Rom Control" in Pacman.
Hi guys, happy new year!
So, i'm testing the rom "Nexus 5 Experience (Kitkat 4.4.2)" and everything seems ok, i'm testing the version CAF Kernel. now i'm tryin install new kernels on this rom, but at every kernel I install i get the same error, after instal any kernel, I turn on my N4 and the screen seems very strange, colors flashing, sometimes when i start a game (or anything that forces the gpu) the screen is filled by one or two colors, but the touch is still working, is just a screen or gpu (i dont know) error.
I tryed to take some printscreens, but when i will check this on my pc, everything is ok, like if theres no error.
When i flash the rom again, everything works normally.
what i'm doing wrong ? I thought to change kernel is only flash him, is it wrong ?
i'm newbie, got my n4 yesterday but i have some experience in my old xperia..
sorry the bad english, im br
Thanks guys!!

I can't say what you did wrong, maybe you got the wrong version since many make 2 versions of their kernel, one for AOSP and one for CM.
I don't run CM ROM's so I don't know which kernels are out there. HellsCore is also another kernel to consider, I believe there are CM versions of it as well.

Next week i'm getting a LG G2 and i would like some advice in which is the best ROM and Kernel i should use?
In other words i would like to know the best combination of ROM and Kernel for LG G2?
sorry for bad english
It's quite difficult to tell... Some people like AOSP roms better, some Stock...
LG's stock is amongst the best of stock roms imho so I suggest you first get to know it and then figure out whether you'd like to change or not.
As for kernels, same story here: if you prefer stability, stock is always better. Battery life is not dramatically improved by any of the kernels I've tried and it's really a matter of preference...
Sorry buddy but these questions either lead to "the depends" answer or to a non-sense argument, usually between stock-partisans and AOSP-partisans... Although for LG there seem to be a consensus around stock being very good anyway, unlike some other brands.
Now for the personal taste: CloudyFlex 2.2 with CloudyKernel is my current daily driver. Stable and smooth plus some great features from Flex rom.
If I helped you, please thank me

Root the device, install Philz Touch recovery and flash away. Doesn't matter which version you start with. If you come from JB and flash a KK rom, make sure you flash the KK baseband but that's all indicated in the OPs

sorry to ask so many questions,
the KK baseband is flashed after or before updating to KK?
and
is it possible to install cloudyflex 2.2 with TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679), because TWRP is much easier to install?
If you are wondering 'WOW, this guy must be really lazy?', my answer is yes, i am lazy, because internet in South Africa is expensive and very limited and i will thank you as many times as i need until i know everything i need to know!
Everything you need to know must be posted in the dedicated Q&A thread, no need open endless topics
You have 5 posts and already opened 3 threads, this looks like a small abuse...

Dude, I realize I already gave you all the links in another similar thread you opened...
I find Philz to be easy and it seems compatible with more roms but I can't vouch for that.
BB can be flashed before or after I believe. Or you can flash along...
If I helped you, please thank me
Just try till u get the best that suits you
Good day
Anyone can show the differences between a Kernel ROM and NOT?
I'm currently running on SuperStock-Rom V2.4 and planning to flash SuperStock-Kernel.
Want to know the Advantages and Disadvantages.
Thanks
One is a full ROM with different software and various interface differences, depending on the ROM you choose.
A kernel is the base operator for any OS. This tells your hardware how to work and potentially unlocks features the standard kernel does not allow.
Not sure if this explains them well in non technical terms.

That helps, thanks Man! But from your opinion. Which one is better? Kernel or Not?
Want to know more about difference between the two. Heheh. Much better from DEVs. Hehehe.
Thanks!
I think i had the wrong question here.
I was actually thinking the Kernel is a different ROM that comes with Kernel version.
So Kernel is a add-on to flash on top of a ROM. Right?

Yes. The two are totally separate things. You can be rooted on a stock ROM and use a custom kernel.
Likewise, you carbon be in a custom ROM with a stock kernel.
To ask which is best wouldn't make sense as they are two totally different parts of a phone\OS.

In my case, I'm currently in a custom ROM right now which is SuperStock-Rom V2.4, can I flash the SuperStock-Kernel V2.0.1?
Thanks
depends rom might conflict with kernel since kernel moght set flags the rom woukd freak on. A good kernel can make a stock rom fly. But a stock kernel cant help even the most optimised rom. Kernel is what gives it the horse power.
Just make sure you have a flashable backup of your current kernel so you can revert if you run in to any boot issues, then you should be good to go.
