[Q] Custom ROM for MyPhone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.. Just wanna ask..
As the title says. just wanna know if there's a custom ROM that i can flash on this phone.. like a 2.3.7 custom ROM etc.. or is it impossible?
co'z i can only see popular brands of phone in this forum.
look at the attached picture.
It's a phone made in the Philippines
Thanks..

If haven't already try doing a Google search for your device by it's manufacturer, phone name and model number then search for Clockworkmod Recovery (Needed to install ROMs) and Cyanogenmod (Custom ROM) but you may just be stuck with the Stock ROM so just consider Rooting it (Making your self Administrator on your phone) and searching for useful Root Apps that you would like to use.

[Q] flash guide?

Hi
im new to android ..
i own a ideos u8150.........and i have rooted it with z4 root
I also have managed to install clock world mod 3.0.2.4 i flashed it through pc (works perfectly)
now i want to change my stock rom ..i' heard ideos HD and droniX are good roms
i'd like to install droniX 0.6 raw ginger ..
but can anyone help me in flashing the rom i need a guide..
also how can i make full backups so i can revert to my stock rom anytime i want..
Does switching to custom roms affect baseband of my mobile ..
because of a picture i saw in a blog that says "baseband version :unknown" in mobile settings .
i have been a apple user and to jailbreak you need to preserve your basebands so is there anything like that in android
i have also read that after flashing dorinX .6 many see a black screen ..how can i prevent that..
i've also installed rom mangaer free version from market but its useless because everytime press any option it tells me to install colckworld mod and when i press install a list of phones comes up but u8150 is not in the list only 7 options.......
Thankyou
Any one......
comon cant any one help me out............................
How u install a new rom, there are many Threads in the forum ...
For a Backup with CWM.
You can make a full backup with CWM.
Boot into CWM Recoverry an make Nandroid backup.
Or install RomManager from the Market, start it and search the option to make a backup.
This is the answer to all your problems
This is a Kenyan blog with information on how to flash any version of Dronix. The process is the same. I use Dronix 0.6.
Google 'Alex the African How to ROM Dronix onto Huawei Ideos U8150'
You'll be good.

Start with a ROM of your choice, just pick one you'd like to try and test it out. If you don't like it try another one out.
*Repeat untill your phone dies

Hi Vinay, Post ur questions in Q & A forum. Ok the difference between custom and official ROM is u ll get ROOT access, many mod from official. Moreover check the caution lines before flashing any ROM.. Watch some videos on flashing ROMs. Also always a copy of main original official ROM..
and a nandroid backup would be also useful just in case something goes wrong
Hi!
Custom rom made by developers that can be from stock (samsung) basis or aosp/aokp (google) basis according to what the devs wants and need, so you need to know about what features and themes are included in the rom so that it would match your preferences. There's sure are a lotta rom out there to try. Be sure to flash only rom that made for your phone and made a backup just in case..
Happy flashing!

Hi to all and thank you for helping me.
The big trouble is that i led my phone in to strange state where only triangle appears and logo of samgung and gets stuck in that state ;after downloading some wrong ROM, my mobile got to this state , now i want to get back in order to wakeup my mobile and brings it too original state as pervious , also to inform you that the mobile was locked to local operator and i tried to unblock and i did mistake .
I just want to have brief guide to how to start as there are many information in this forum and i dont know which tutorial should i base ON.
Basically i just want to know which ROM should i take and procedures in order to install the correct ROM in correct way. I allready has the ODIN installed in my PC and at the moment i can navegate in my phone by Clockworkmode but i dont know what i should do after that , i do know that i can put the ROM in SD Card and try to force the mobile but first i would like to have exprties opinion on this matter, PLEASE.
Regards
Vinay
Well basically if you want to restore to original state, you have to flash the stock rom for your phone or the backup you made before (which I assume you didn't made it). Try to find the stock firmware/rom for your phone version/country/region on sammobile and flash it using odin (put your phone to download mode first). Hope it helps..
P.s: don't worry about the yellow triangle thing, it'll disappear after you flashed the stock..

Thank you sir and thank you all moderator helping me on this ,
Ok ;i understood but if i dont want to go back or lets say if i want to root and unblock without original stock ROM what procedure should i do , please.
I am also having difficulties finding the best ROMS for mobile S2 GALAXY where i should find them , please.
Best Regards
Vinay Navinchandra
Dont mention "best rom" since its against the rules.Youll get a warning and your/this thread locked.
Yeah, it's a matter of preferences if you talked about what best so browsing around and try for yourself..
Some custom rom got pre-rooted, and some need to be rooted first or even not at all. There's lotta method to root sgs2 and it's not hard at all, just google it and you'll get it..

1.Rooting is different from installing custom roms.
Rom is the android term for OS which is of many types.
Rooting is enabling ur device to access, edit & delete the rom components which include the built in applications to the codes that run the OS.
2. Stock roms are those which come along with ur device from the manufacturers which are usually called firmwares.
Custom roms are those which are developed by the android developers for the comfortability with many additional features! They are rated based on their performance, stability, userinterface, etc. The famous stable custom rom developing team is Cyanogenmod.
3. The are many methods for rooting and installing custom rom which are strictly based on ur phone model!
4. Rooting gives u further power! Custom roms gives u new experience in every aspect which means that the rules are bent for our comfortability!

[Q] complete noob but need answers xD

ok so i bought my international version galaxy s3 from ebay. it was already rooted and modified. i know cause i
cant receive updates. unless i use triangle away. obviously i still dont get updates because im on a custom rom which i have no idea what custom rom it is. rom manager doesnt tell me. rom manager says
that my custom rom isnt setup to recieve updates.
im on 4.1.2 JB. what im wanting to know is. can i flash straight to cyanogenmod 10.2 from my custom rom?
and will flashing to 10.2 keep me on 4.1.2 JB but with the cyan tweaks/mods or will it be 4.3?
also what is the best method to save my imei from any dramas. i also dont want to lose my network which ive seen people have this problem also.
is there anyway for me to find out what custom rom im using? i know that i have clockworkmod 6 installed.
im using 19300XXELLA on what i beleive is a custom kernel smp but cant be sure.
im sure this post has not made much sense but hope you can undersyand what km asking
i also looked at the sticky threads. they gave answers but i felt they werent the answers i needed specifically for me. except the imei question
First you can know your custom ROM most probably from about device info...
Second you can flash cm 10.2 or cm11 without any hassles with imei but if you want any Samsung based custom rom you should flash a newer modem... Search for them there are flashable zips available...
Before doing this,backup your efs by one of many apps on play store like ktool or samsung tool..
Cm10.2 means it is 4.3 android and cm11 will be 4.4.2..
And don't expect features of samsung firmware in those roms.. I mean better camera, swipe for screen shot and other features.. They are exclusive for samsung based roms...
For cm11 you must update your recovery to latest search for it flash then via Odin
Or cwm flashable zips are also available...

Flashing phone soft help. Newbie questions.

Hello,
So I received this phone from my uncle to "fix" because it kept showing "Lenovo lockscreen has stopped working" nonstop. Now I want to flash a new ROM to it.
What I know about the phone:
Model -Lenovo P780
Android -4.4.2
Build-P780.V101, 2014/03/12 15:06
VIBEUI_V2.0 1437_7.14 1_ST_P780
Recovery -heweikeji CWM-Recovery v6.0.4.4 Modd by heweikeji_yueyue.
It's a CN rom already flashed custom ( I think )
I want to flash a new ROM for him because this one is really clustered ( even after factory reset tons of unnecessary apps )
My question.
What do I need to flash a new rom to this phone?
What rom should I pick? (he's a regular user ).
Do I need to update recovery?
Need the easiest way out possible.

Look here and read that tutorial about changing your firmware with one still developed.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/row-cn-how-to-check-t3333532/page2
After that go to development area in MIUI section, mirror 9. There are latest custom firmware stable versions with OTA suport.
Good luck.
