My Previous device was the Galaxy s2 Epic 4g touch (Sprint). On that device you had to use a specific kernel before flashing different android versions GB, ICS, JB...My question is What is the rule of thumb when flashing different roms Like AOKP, AOSPA, CM etc.. Is it Rom specific? Are their kernels or modems or anything like that that i should look out for? Could someone point me in the right direction for finding out this info for my LS980 (Sprint)? Thanks

I have been looking for a samsung like rom, there were tons of them available now it's all stock google 4.4 and some 4.3, I just want real stability, unfortunately this is android indeed, and I understand that stability is not something to look for, but I have been with android all my life and the stock rom for my s4 was extremely stable, I am just looking now for one like that but I cannot find anymore. Right when the phone came out there were tons of ROMS off of the samsung stock (deoxed and such) now its all stock google, where can I find really a really stable ROM for my i337m s4, been looking for weeks, nothing cuts the cake, sorry for english, not first language, and thanks for anyone who help me!
Many of the ROMs located in the android development subforum will be based on the stock firmwares. These include ROMs such SD GoldenEye, Graviton, Hyperdrive, etc.

Couldn't find an answer to this question, but I come from the Galaxy SIII (d2att) and with that device, you could also flash roms from d2tmo as well. You couldn't flash any other SIII roms on the d2att, though, because of a different partition layout and different hardware.
That said, this is also my first CDMA phone, so I'm really not sure how different they are. So can a vs980 rom, for example, be flashed on the ls980 and then flash a modem/radio/etc from the ls980? I noticed that roms like Mahdi are device agnostic and you install a patch for your specific device. Can this be done with any rom? I ask this because I'm tired of seeing so many roms that I would LOVE to use but can't because there's no ls980 version and it frustrates the crap out of me. It often feels like this is the most under-developed version of the G2.
tl;dr can I install a vs980 rom on ls980 then flash a radio/modem/etc?
So my friend would like to install a custom ROM for his S5, model name SMG900W8. Which ROMs work? I don't have a S5 at all so I have no clue which works and which doesn't.
Check the development sections and have at err. Almost all of them should work for you. I'm running PAC-ROM on my 900w8
Hello,
I am having trouble finding a custom ROM for my Cricket galaxy S4. Model is SGH-I337Z, codename 'jflteaio'. I have TWRP 2.7 recovery installed along with Touch-wiz ROM, Skyfall. But I would really like to have at least one custom ROM for this device. I have looked through the unified section, as well as the AT&T section with no luck for 'jflteaio'. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you all

I don't know if there are roms specific for that device.
The rom you mention is for a i337 right? Then maybe all the roms from that device work. Just flash them and see if they boot.
If not then you probably need to port them yourself, there are plenty of guides out here that explain how to do that.
Hey guys and gals. I ordered a new G2 Sprint LGLS980 for my dad replacing his Galaxy Nexus (yeah I know about time). I want to put an AOSP 5.1 rom on it but Im new to this device. I have unlocked and installed custom recovery on many devices so im not a total noob to this. I have searched for how to do this but I cant seem to find an up to date best way to do this. Can some one help me out or point me in the right direction on the steps to take to get this done?
Also he will be using it on Sprints network so I want to use a rom that has all the Sprint LTE bands enabled. Will any of the AOSP roms work and how stable are the CAF roms? I run a CAF rom on my Nexus 5 and love how smooth it is, but its buggy at times. I would like to use a rom thats pretty stable he really doesn't need a real heavily customizable ROM either. CM12.1 would be great but I see its not on the device yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm guessing you've been going to the G2 Sprint section. Not much there, you need to go to the generic LG G2 page and then to development from there. Here's the shortcut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
If you've got the recovery loaded, you should be ready to go. Just make sure to read the ROM requirements carefully, make sure you have the proper radio and bootstack. You'll find what you want in the link above, the most popular ROM's are mostly Cloudy for stock based, CM, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix for AOSP. I have the LS980 and the AOSP ROMs double tap to wake seems to take 5 taps, but other than that the features can't be beat. I run BlissPop now and have run 3 of Cloudy's ROMs, I like Bliss the best, just wish the DT2W could be fixed.
