It's been a while. I need some advice.

Hello,
It's been a while since I have played around with rooting and tinkering with my Evo 4G.
Right now I have it rooted and a few apps like ROM Manager, SuperUser and such installed. I'm currently running 2.2.
I would like to get updated with the newest rooted stock OS. I need this phone to work and would also like to maintain stability and improve battery life.
I found the details at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790427 as how to 'After rooting, how do I install a ROM?'
Which ROM is recommended to keep as close to as stock while still giving me root capabilities and apps?
Is there a version I should avoid do to age / hardware of phone?
I was thinking of this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319881
or from this list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
#8, the OTA version.
Any suggestions or comments on either, others, my process?
Thanks.

Does it have to be a stock rom? If not, i suggest MikG or evolved recharged.
They're both pretty good roms

You're all good with hardware and such, just pick which ever rooted stock rom you like,wipe,flash and reboot.

Here's a list of some ROMs you could try out. Look under Custom ROMs.
Just make sure you have a backup of your current ROM just in case.

thanks for the replys.
Just so i have this right..
I am going to choose OTA-#8 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
This looks like the newest stock rooted ROM, correct?
I have everything backed up and see the docs, but have one last quesiton:
How do I restore all my contacts, apps, configs, etc once I do this?
I rooted and did this when I got the phone and built on top of it, but from the description of the backups, it's backing up the entire config of the phone (like an image). I would imagine that I dont try to reinstall all my apps from that one, right?
Thanks.

According to that URL, OTA Update #11 is the newest OTA available. Before you switch back to stock though you should check out these ROMs by -TeamBlaze-.

so many choices......Help.

Hello all, new Galaxy user here.....I came from 3D HTC. ok my questions...
1. I am already rooted, what back up , ROM and other stuff do I need to use. There are so many links to so many choices.
2. Which are the easiest to use? I'm not good with complicated options.

First off, you don't NEED to use anything but what you have right? If for some reason you are not happy with what your phone comes with than it is all personal preference. I use TWRP for custom recovery/backups and is very easy to install via GooManager app. No flashing required, all touch based, and designed very friendly I think. As for roms, kernels, etc. they all pretty much install the same and will give different results. If you don't want to complicate things just stick with rooted stock unless it does not do something you need.

The question to start with is, "What do you want your phone to do"?
Look at the capabilities of your phone with the stock ROM:
Are you happy with the way it works? (or can you make it work the way you want by changing the available options)? If so, don't do anything else
Are you not happy with some application? Can you download an app that fixes this? If so, don't do anything else
Are you not happy with the UI? Try out another launcher - if that works for you, don't do anything else
Are you not happy with the bloat on your phone? Can you disable that bloatware? If so, don't do anything else
Are you not happy with the bloat on your phone? If you can't disable that bloatware? If so, you need to root - and then, you can freeze or remove the bloat app
Do you just want to backup everything? If so, you may not need root to use titanium backup - see if Helium backup (by CWM) does the trick for you
Do you want to change everything about your ROM, or flash a new kernel to get better battery life, or get some feature that is not available on the stock ROM (but is available on a custom ROM)? Then, root, install custom recovery (like twrp or CWM), take nandroid backup, and then flash new ROM
To summarize, what do you want your phone to do?

For the moment, the stock ROM has the most current updates. (but I'm pretty sure the carriers will delay the release of the next update, so at that time, flashing a custom ROM may be the way to go)
WiFi Tether - you don't necessarily have to flash a custom ROM just for that - you can get that just by updating the services.* files (see the hotspot mod thread in the Android development forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950)
Best signal - you will get that based on the radios that are being used, and I believe the custom ROMs use the radios from Sprint as well.
Best battery - for that, you will need to pick a good kernel, so a custom ROM will probably be your best bet.
Hope that helps!

Just remember to do a Nandroid backup before you flash any custom ROMs or make any changes to the kernel or the root folders.
Personally, I use the latest touch based version of TWRP (installed using goomanager in the play store) - but CWM works fine too.
Being able to revert back to the nandroid backup has saved my rear end more than once

how to remove unnecessary stock apk?

Hi everyone
Just got my samsung galaxy s4 from sprint. I love this phone and the capabilities of it. However there is tons and tonsbof application that I honestly never see need for like dropbox,etc. My phone is rootef with CWM recovery, it has the latest superus but I have not installed a rom since im planning to make my own rom sometime in the future. My main concer is whetger there is a zip I can instal that will remove some apps. Preferbably something that is not rom based. I like the stock look of the samsung. Id really appreciate it thanks.

Here ya go bro. Not a flashable zip, but you can chose what to remove and all those apps listed are "safe to remove" (hence the name!) lol.

If you're rooted, you can uninstall with TB. Remember to backup before you attempt to remove something and you might need it for something else to function. This is something I stumped on and I use to customize and remove apps which I do not use/need.

Zips as in apps? and games? look at the play store, plenty of free apps you can download and try out.
edit:
Unless you're refering to an app that will help you remove unwanted apps off your phone, try installing Titanium Backup.

[Q] Couple of. S4. Question help thanks!!

[Q] S4 questions please help
Hi all I'm new to android and have been reading a ton
But have a few question?
1. I have a bell s4 Smg-i337 with latest firmware (I believe moto chopper will not work)
But think cw autoroot root method works
Am I correct or how can I root with latest firmware
2. If I install GE rom will it use less storage
(Right now Touchwiz only give my phone like 9.2gb but I read the GE editions s4 doesn't use up as much space)
So will flashing a rom free up space ?
3. Is removing bloat ware bad previously I would just freeze the app but I'm curious about removing it (I read somewhere that if u remove it it screws up ur phone for updates ?
Is that true?
That's all for now thank you

All 3 of your questions can be found in previous threads already. There's a thread about what bloatware is safe to remove. Also a thread about which ROM is better for space and speed. And rooting
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Links?
My brains is a little overloaded with info just trying to get some basic answer to some question?

1. I personally don't know
2. No all the partitions will remain the same. To repartition could be dangerous and is often best left alone.
3. The stock ROM scans itself at every boot to make sure everything is there and a padlock boot loader animation will appear. Uninstalling the wrong apps could delete necessary files for other apps and features so they are best frozen on stock, that is what I believe personally.
Ps next time use the search function.

Wait you have bell s4 i337? Not i337m? I was under the impression that only at&t and sprint have i337 :/
Anyways yes cw auto root is the way to go. But make sure your build doesn't end in MF3. I think at&t i337 have a locked boot loader, just be careful that you don't flash Roms if you have mf3. However you can still root using cw root even with a locked boot loader.
How did u manage to get an i337 s4 on bell network?
A custum ROM will give u about 9.7gb of free space. The main reason why people like to flash Roms is to get rid of TW, no bloatware, snappy phone, battery life, and sweet features eg halo))).
Good luck!!

Little confused about question 2
Tylorw1 says portions stay the same with installing custom rom
But eagertolearn say custom rom will give u 9.7gb of free space
So which is it ?
Does custom rom repatrion to use only what it needs or does it just replace the rom in the memory Samsung used up?

9.7 is what it is partitioned on stock, the other 5.5gb is the system partition so it is one and the same. All it does is install the ROM in the partition, not repartition.

Lastly I was aware of making sure of deleting bloatware and making sure it safe to remove
But no one answered if removing it affect updating
1. Say an update came out and I remove a bunch of bloatware apps. Will I have any issues updating ?
2. What do most people like to do just freeze or remove.
3. Is there any benefit of removing over freezing ? Since u don't gain any space with removing does it have any advantage?

Seems I'm it picked the wrong forum to take to as all the staff does in here instead of taking 1 minute to answer a question
They constantly tell ur to search (WHICH again I have done and learned a lot Now I'm at a point I have a few "specific" question that I can't seem to find on the forum

I will try and help - this is just an attempt and not proven
1. Say an update came out and I remove a bunch of bloatware apps. Will I have any issues updating ?
-use common sense, removing AT&T Family Map or YouTube probably will not have any impact. Removing something that you dont have a clear definition of like for example BandService or CapabilityManagerService may cause serious issues.
2. What do most people like to do just freeze or remove.
-I doubt most people vote on such things. I freeze myself, if something doesnt work, I can unfreeze easier than I can go and find the replacement app out on the internet
3. Is there any benefit of removing over freezing ? Since u don't gain any space with removing does it have any advantage?
-remove = gain space at expense of if you need it in the future, you will need to make a task of it
-freeze = dont reclaim space but have safety net of immediately unfreezing and getting back functionality
Suggestion: How about freezing until you have a space issue, then deal with what to do at that point?
Before you freeze/remove, google the app first and see if some poor [email protected]@rd is trying figure out how to fix what he just eliminated
Good luck - have fun - be careful

Another reason to freeze is if you remove an app and yet another updates comes your way, the app will be placed back on your phone. If that app already existed and was frozen, will remain frozen with the next update. At least that's what happens when you update a ROM.

Begginer looking for quick help

yo yo yo devs and phone maniacs,
i have s5-900f or something similiar to that and after 2 years i am out of patience. My phone is laggy ( snapchat and camera opening like 50 billion years maybe slightly more) and i need some quick reminder what to do. I used custom rom on my S3 back in the days, well i forgot like everything,but i remember some odin and these things so i am not complete begginer. So i need some quick tips and what to do like root your phone download this and this ( not exactly, but what is it called and what to look for) and i will google it i am not that retarded, i hope i just need quick heads up. I think main issue is the bloatware, but you probably know that more than i do.
First i have some questions
- Do i need to install custom rom to be without bloatware ?
- If so is cyanogenmod the most reliable here or there are some version which looks like the same as the stock rom ?
I dont care actually that much about look, i just need everything to work, like snapchats/camera and not to drain battery like its some milk from mother's nipple. This might be the stupidest thing in the world, but launcher thing like touchwiz and google launcher, i deal with that after the rom adjusting, am i right ? I might wrote complete bullsh*t, well i dont understand these things that much
I hope atleast someone will help me with the basics or transfer me to some thread where i can find more answers than questions
Thank you very much for reading and eventually helping

you have quite the way with words
we will need to know what exact model you have. Look under the battery. If your bootloader is locked, root methods differ from unlocked ones
and you dont need a custom rom, just root and titanium backup. make a backup of the full rom, then go into TiB and make a backup of the bloatware apps and then remove them, or if you go pro with TiB (titanium backup) you can freeze apps

Well thanks, my english i pretty bad, i try my best so few sentences might not make any sense so dont worry to correct me in any way
its SM-g900f and will custom rom improve my phone a lot ? i mean battery and speed side of my phone. I would like to avoid it if it brings more trouble than advantages.
I think i can root my phone without problems (well google will help, dont want to waste any of your time for my problems) , i just need help with custom roms.

Just grab twrp 3.0.2-1 and flash it via Odin. Once installed, boot to recovery and select reboot then power off. It'll ask you if you want to j stall SU, swipe to confirm yes. Power it back on and you should have SuperSU in your app drawer. From there you can use TiB to remove the crapware and it'll speed your phone up and decrease lag. Yes, a custom ROM will substantially improve performance and battery life. The euro version isn't my deepest field of expertise, as it has a Samsung xynos processor as opposed to the snapdragon in the us variants and some things G's can get murky because of that, but the answer to your battery and lag issue is either a complete wipe and start from scratch, TiB your troubles away or custom rom that thing!

Nice thanks seems easy, i like it. Well now the custom rom. Do you know any other good custom roms except CMod, which are reliable ? I hope CMod is, i figure he is the one who rules, since he is the most famous and i think i have read it somewhere. I just have a feelin,when i try another rom, my phone will be some issue everyday, not sure why

Well, i can tell you that no custom ROM is perfect, but the touchwiz ones are more trouble free than CM based ROMs. I run MOAR 7.0 and its very trouble free, but i use a G900P.

since the forum search functionality has been restored, a quick search for g900f yielded this for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302
theres tons of ROMs for this phone

The euro one has a xynos processor and the us ones have snapdragons. The kernels for the xynos roms aren't compatible with the snapdragon ones
