Im still very new to this and hope someone can find the time to send me the right way.
Im currently looking for a stable rom which can support both google chrome & link2sd.
Tried some different roms but only succeeded in finding roms which can run one of the two, hope someone here has got the answer for me!
Thanks in advance.
Any rom can support both however I wouldn't use chrome on a galaxy y although I can't remember if it armv6 compatible- it would probably be very laggy - use dolphin instead if you want a full Web browser
Link2sd isn't dependent on rom - its dependant on a kernel that supports ext sd card partitions however on cm11 use s2e instead - see rom thread
So the answer to the question is any rom as long as the app you are installing is armv6 compatible and you know how to create sd ext partitions & using a supporting kernel for the rom you are using
Please don't ask users for best roms as this is subjective
Chrome based browsers are not compatible due to low ram issues (if you count out the cm11 browser which is somewhat like crome) so no rom could support chrome
Cm11 could be the only way to have both but libk2sd isnt recommended s2e will work same

I hope this is not a totally dumb question as I am new to Android phones:
There are some good apps that come with the note as standard like S Memo and also some Samsung specific things like S Choice. How do I keep these when I upgrade to a custom Rom.
I looked as Astro file manager back up capability, and it doesn't list these there.
Would Titanium backup list them and allow me to save them for re-installation?
Thanks
Chris
You can't really keep them on a non-Samsung ROM as they depend on the Touchwiz framework. Sorry :'-(

are u going to be flashing an ICS rom or staying on Gingerbread? you will not be able to use any pre-installed apps if you are flashing ICS rom. But if you're flashing a GB rom (rocket rom v23, checknote etc) then you can use Titanium Backup but most GB roms come with smemo, splanner, etc. Hope this helped.

Thanks for those replies guys, it's actually really helpful for a newbe like me. I need to explaore the standard apps a bit more to see what's good and whether I need a substitute for any.
I was thinking of flashing an ICS ROM, but I need to explore which one is the best.
If I loose the S.Memo app, that seems really good, is there a substitue in the market? Of all the apps that utilises the pen, that would seem to be the key one!
Your advice is appreciated.
I'm using a modified version of MyScript Notes Mobile which I think works perfect for handwriting notes. Get it here (and thank the guy who modified it in that thread ): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594325

I'm not sure if the ICS roms based on the leaked Samsung firmwares have all the s-pen apps but I'm sure just about any custom GB rom here is based on original Samsung firmwares and thus include all Samsung apps (unless explicitly mentioned in the thread that they were removed ofcourse).
You can still use your pen in ICS roms that are not based on Samsung firmwares though you'll lose pressure sensitivity. If you feel like you'll need pressure sensitivity you could flash a rom based on LP6.
Hi all,
My HD2 had upgraded from WM to android 2.2.
However, the system is unstable lately (it rebooted occasionally).
Thus, I wonder whether I can do another upgrade to either 2.3 or 4.0?
Could you suggest which version is more stable and functioning well?
Also the how-to?
Thx a lot.
Yes you can do an upgrade, have a good read first as these are custom ROM & bugs will be present, those 2.3.xx versions are pretty much stable nowadays but you can give ICS - different flavours - a try also. Go the the SD ROM thread & if your phone has MAGLDR all you have to do is put the ROM in SD & boot from there or try the link below
Thx for the suggestion.
Just another Q: Why to store image in the SD? Doesn't it slow down the boot up time?
What's the benefit on the other hand?
Much appreciated.
NexusHD2 series GB & ICS are very stable and fast ROMs.
I am now using an ICS one and I am very pleased
You can found guides about flashing in my signature.
If you`re interested only in Android you should choose a NAND version to avoid slowness.
You can upgrade to this rom, now it is stable enough, enjoy.

So I've been using my hero for a good 3-4 years and its been rooted and I've tried a variety of roms up to and including the ICS ones more recently. So I guess this thread is really me asking much more experienced people what roms, settings etc to use. I've tried Elelinux which was great for a long time but recently it seemed to not respond to my input so well and other roms don't seem as stable or quick generally.
But throughout my time using different roms etc i've heard about SD Card Partitions but I've never actually done it and I'm wondering 1) how and 2) why? what benefits do you actually get from doing it?
Another question I have is the recovery when you're flashing a new rom etc - I have one I downloaded from these forums a few years ago after I first rooted my phone and I've never thought to see if there was a different version or different features. I heard that there is a version 5 of Clockwordmod I'm wondering if its better than the RA-hero 1.7.0.1 I currently have. Another question I have is, if I do flash a new recovery will I lose my current backups?
Finally, I'm interested in finding out which is a quick, stable rom that will be good for daily use. I've tried MIUI and an early version of SCHPONGLE if that's the current name, by 1cebox and they're quick roms but not quite stable enough for long term use. I don't mind what version it runs as long as it can run Google Maps, Youtube, Sony Remote and IMDB apps.
Any advice?
The answer to why partitioning an sd card is here. I have done it and it really helps my little Hero since it doesn't have much ram. Instructions on how you can partition the sd are using Amon RA are here.
Flashing a new recovery (like the last Clockwordmod available on Hero) does not erases your backups, i know that by personal experience
Clockworkmod has the ability to allow you to browse the directories for zip installing instead of having the zip files only on the root dir. It also can install zip files even if there are not signed properly. The only problem i had (with the last version) is that it doesn't support old upgrade scripts but i can live with this "bug". To me, Clockworkmod vs Amon RA is just a matter of personal taste.
If your main language is English (which is not my case ), i suggest you the SCHPONGLE Rom which is really fast and well done. Everything works just fine there as 1ceb0x made a great job !
I am actually using the Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 which i can have in Italian and has everything working well enough. I am expecting the fix of GPS and pinch-to-zoom bugs in [ICS 4.0.4] AOKP [Team Legacy] rom because after testing the CM9 made by jordfaz, for fore than 2 weeks, all i can cay that it's fast (really fast !) and that i turned back to Elelinux-7.2-Hero-v3.9 only because i miss GPS.
Have a nice day

So far , I've tried out tytung's NexusHD2 ICS Rom (incredibly bad experience) and a few others , but I haven't seen any completely functional 4.x ROMs for the HD2.Most of them have a lot of bugs and I can't use Viber with them because the phone application crashes when I pick up the phone.So my question is this - is there any ROM based on 4.x that can match a 2.3 ROM in terms of performance and stability ?
I've been searching the forums for an answer but so far I haven't found one.I would be very grateful if someone could just point it out for me.
As far as I know, almost all HD2 ICS ROMs are fully functional (except for viber, it's a known issue).
And if you're having so many problems with tytung's ROMs, I don't know what else to recommend. (Not that this is the best, this is just the least buggy)
I have been using the SlimRom 8.0 on my HD2 since it came out and I have had the smoothest post-GingerBread experience with my phone.
Try it, I don't know about Viber because I don't use it.
I'm running it NativeSD on CLK with Extended TWRP.

No one development SENSE 4 +?
I like SENSE4
But I can't modify the kernel...
Hope someone to modify a SENSE4 + kernel
Thanks
Like the title already says i am looking for the best ROM for the Galaxy S4 to use everyday so it has to be stable and bugfree.
The reason why i dont want the stock touch wiz rom anymore is that it lets only 9gb free on my 16 gb model.
Please recommend me ROMs that are reliable and if possible also with the ability to move Apps to the SD Card.
Thanks and greetings
Any rom is stable and no rom is bugfree.
Couldnt you have posted in one of the 3268 existing best ROM threads

Best as in what the hell is subjectivity.
I would recommend
Lollipop german version.
Echoerom.
But for you. Try the cm12 alucard and antaresone's rom. I find it refreshing . Bonus: it's like 400mb in total. Including gapps.:good:
I find the GPE roms to be very good.
I tried the CM12 Optimzed builds and faced several problems.
With the GPE roms I've never had any trouble. Also have great battery life.
