[Q] ROM advise - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I don't know if I'm on the right place for this question, but I would like to have some advise for a good ROM wich don't set my Knox to 0x1.
I'm looking for a ROM that makes it possible to use some original apps like S-planner and the original camera-app.
A good battery-life, stability and the possibility to use a original TomTom-app is a must.
Which ROM would be the best for me?

Thank you

Hi.
I am currently own a Samsung Omnia and I am planning to flash with custom Win6.5 ROM.
Before I do that I would like to backup my original ROM just in case anything happen I able to revert back as what I had right now.
My questions:

2) Edit: There is NO better ROM. You need to test and read the feedback and decide for yourself
I know my questions are somewhere in the forum but there are thousands of them I hope someone kind enough to help me over here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ameet,
Thanks for editing my thread.
I am not expert like u which I able to identify which custom rom is stable or good for my phone by reading through thousands of thread over the forum. To me, all look the same and I do not know where to start. I know there is not prefect ROM available for every phone or everyone but I do highlighted as I am using Samsung Omnia and I hope someone using the same phone as me able to advise me that this ROM is much better or that ROM is for HTC and so on.
This is the reason i post this thread as I need help from someone expert like u to guide ppl like me, maybe you can just highlight a keywords that I need to search.
I thought the main reason of this forum to guide newbie for better understand on their phone or applications and has fun with it.
I am sorry if I duplicated this thread with same questions somewhere in the forum.

This is a question that has been asked many times before in other threads. All you need to do is search.
However I'll answer your query this time.
Most people change there rom as they are not happy with the original roms userability, speed, etc and are curious at trying out other roms to see if this has improved as well due to their looks, additional apps, tweaks etc.
Also you cannot get wm6.5 without flashing to a cooked rom, and generally wm6.5 is more finger friendly.
If you read first few posts of each rom thread you will see what is on offer in each particular rom, and with latest roms, this should be significently different to your stock rom. Manila will also have changed as stock roms are generally using manila 1.3 or less while my current rom uses manila 2.1 which is greatly improved as it also has the additonal benefit of being landscape compatible.
Best advice would be to ask yourself what are you looking for on your current phone, and then ask, can my phone do this now. If not, search elsewhere to see if this can be done on another rom, then read flashing guide and flash to that particular rom.

No worries man, welcome to the community Chances are however you may end up with a few 'Just search!!' answers but I understand there is almost too much info to understand out there but do check out the sticky threads at the top of the HD2 rom development forum as there is a wealth of detail there.
In answer to your question: 'why would anyone want to mod the rom or mess with it? please kindly answer it.'
There are many reasons for doing this, I assume that you come from the 'HTC probably know whats best for their phone as they made it' point of view, this is not always the case.
Let's take a real simple example: There is a limited ammount of space in internal memory and the more you can get the better and some of this space is taken up by pre-installed applications and images that you may never use and some of these can't be removed simply by deleting.
This is where 'cooking' roms comes in: In order to remove those apps you have to create a new OS image (rom) without them in (this is cooking, which is generally performed by experienced people who will publish their roms in the roms forum) and then to be able to get that on your device you need to 'flash' the cooked rom (OS image) onto your device (think of flashing as installing the OS like you would windows from CD on a PC) , and viola you have a new rom on your phone which leaves you more space in internal memory to use for yourself.
There are obviously far more complex reasons for cooking roms (speed improvements, fixes, mods and changes to the UI) but in order to keep this short and simple I've used the above example. If you want to know more check the noob tutorials in the rom forum.
Be careful however, and ensure you read all the information you can search for / find in there as there are some potential pitfalls if you don't do it properly.
Thanks prime! I got it now :]

[Q] Backing Up my Current Rom

Hey everyone, I have been looking all over the place for information on how to back up my current O2 Rom on my o2 atom life before I actually upgrade.
I did check out the wiki, and so I ask these questions XD:
is there any other way of backing up the rom aside from using the one in the wiki?
and if it is, how will i be able to use it again when I want to reflash it? :O
Thank you for helping, I'm really just new to upgrading roms and I really want to make sure I could go back to my former settings and whatnots before I actually try to upgrade (and hopefully not fail. Being a noob on these things is just too scary. XD)
Thank you again, and I so hope anyone could help

Best custom ROM for Blackstone

Hi Guys, I am new to the forum but have been using the advice here for my various HTC phones and now I am looking for a custom rom for my Blackstone.
I have tried the premium EDGE rom and the newest stock rom and I don't particularly like either.
I would be interested to know everybodies personal experience and advise on the best rom for the blackstone, mainly because I don't want to go through and test them all, just hoping for a consensus on the best rom.
Let me know your opinion, thanks =)
P.S I did search, but I want up to date opinions
Alternatively, tell me what ROM you use and tell me what is so good about it, thanks
