Hello everyone
I'm thinking to install a custom ROM to my P7500 3g but still not sure which one. I specially want to play my 720p brrip movies on my tablet. Any good roms to recommend? btw i used overcome rom like last year,the first release i think. it was good but couldnt follow the hack scene since.
If you have no special needs not covered by stock rom i would advice to stay on stock rom.

Well the stock rom starts on lagging on me lately and uses too much of the ram.Plus since I havent heard of jelly bean coming to the tab 10.1, i wanted to try the custom roms.do you recommend the cm 10.1 or the overcome rom?
I have no personal experience with other Roms on my P7500 but i have tried cm10 on my other Android devices. From what i read on the xda forum i am not at all sure that another rom (ICS or JB) will improve my Tab rsponsiveness. My Tab runs currently extra smoothly with stock 3,2 HC rom, rooted and overclocked with setcpu app using Pershoot's kernel (thanks)

Be very careful .. I bricked my first tab by simply putting an american rom on it by accident. When I went to factory reset from the recovery it triggered DSOD and locked the device.. A very rapid learning curve indeed!!
aaanyway....
Been on CM10.1 for a week now on my GT-P7500.. fast , buttery smooth and a pain free install....make a nandroid backup from recovery first !! do a wipe and factory reset afterwards. I love the look and feel of it now... mmmm shiny
Thanks for the reply caramel.Ok i'll install the CM 10.1 too I'm using 4.0.4 now.In Galaxy s2 the 4.0.4 has a wipe data bug, bricks the device.Does the tab has that too?

IF you've flashed a custom recovery, there's no worry with the emmc bug.

Hi all!
I'm sorry if this question been asked before! which i see it has ! But I'm confussed to what to do! As there are several different answers to the same question ???????
So this is my problem!
I have a Galaxy s2 i9000 which i updated the ROM to Resurrection Remix ICS v1.0 by westcrip. a few months back!
All went ok. Rooted phone using odin and “CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar” from galaxy s2 root.com.
got it all working and all great till It came to other day! I wanted to udate to Resurrection remix 2.6 or v3.0 ??
But when it came to CWM - it kept coming up with
This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.
including the backup and recovery! I've tried ROM manager too. that says that I have CWM 2.5.1.2 and also CWM touch not available for this device. my phone is rooted. I have Su0.93,busybox v1.17.1
BUT NO JOY !! I tried to backup on there too and just takes me to CWM with no backup on the menu..
I always like to do a backup in case of problems! But cant in this case!
I read that flashing kernel could work! But as I'n not 100% which one to use! I'd be happy of any advise! I really would like to update now! As Res V2.6/v3 look great! so does the Salman ICS ROM..
I was thinking of flashing Siyah Kernel v.3.3.2 for Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS] - but read somewhere this has problems with Res v2.6..
Can some1 please just tell me in simple terms, What is the best way to go about doing this! and if have to use new kernel which one and where?? I really would be most grateful of the help !!
Many Many thanks in advance .. A person who don't want to mess his much loved s2 up !!!!

siyah v3.3.2 has no problem of any sort ma8 its a very stable one u can flash it without any issues.
also u have the latest versions like 3.4.1 and 3.5.2(which supports Jelly Bean)
i was using 3.3.2 on RRv2.6 and it had a very good batt life and performance for sure
Would it work normally? Would it make the phone unusable? Would it work, but with problems?
Or even the Galaxy SII's ROMs, will there be problems if I flash them on my Galaxy SII Lite (Galaxy S Advance/GT-I9070)?
I just installed a custom ROM for the Galaxy S Advance (the only one I found), but this custom ROM is exactly the same as the default ROM... it is just rooted... but it makes no difference, it is easy to root the original ROM too.
Its default ROM version is Gingerbread (Android 2.3), and the custom ROM is based on Gingerbread too. If I flash an ICS ROM or a Jellybean ROM (made for Galaxy S or SII), will my phone show problems? Has anyone ever tested this?
If I flash a custom ROM made for another device, will I be able to reflash the old ROM? I'm pretty sure I will, but asking just to make sure.
Thanks.
May be SoftBrick! )

Please find the following Jet mode 3.0 ICS themed Rom for I9070 .. I don't think you will be able to flash I900 or SII Rom on this the drivers and Hardware libraries will be different for each of these phones and i dont think you will be able to boot with other roms.
If we were able to just Flash the other ROM we would not have porting the ROMS happening right ?
Yeah, right... thats true.
But thanks anyway, at least there is an ICS ROM for I9070... Thank you for the link!
The phone wont boot because there is No ics kernel for s advance so dont need to try it
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
You will brick your phone. The chipset of Advance is very different from i9000 and i9100.
Try that and say goodbye to your device!
You can only flash roms made to your device, and only for it... there's no way to flash roms for different devices on yours.
Guys,
I have been using codecROM for the past one month and i felt it was Superb. but i'm a viber user so viber isn't working on codecROM 9.1 so i had to revert back to stock ICS ROM. i have seen few posts regarding dual boot in Siyah Kernel. what i wanted to do now is as follows:
1st Boot: Stock ICS 4.0.4
2nd Boot : Any other custom ROM
is this possible..??
Currently my phone is Fully rooted.
also suggest me any ROM in which apps like viber which use wifi for calling will work for sure..
Thanks a lot guys i have learnt a lot from xda-developers
Great first post - not
Tip: Search for Siyah kernel

my bad ... sorry guys.. just now i came across this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 so according to tht dual boot is not supported by ICS... what if i update to 4.1.1(jelly bean)?? then how to dual boot??
Once you upgrade to jelly bean you will have to install siyah kernel, the latest version to be able to dual boot. Read through the siyah kernel thread under original android development, it'll explain everything.

Hi everyone
My issue is somehow strange, I performed a clean install (full wipe, etc..) with Dorimanx Kernel 7.43 of Neat ROM 4.0 (XXLSJ) as primary ROM
When I install secondary ROM, Neat ROM boot loops and get stuck on the first Samsung bootanimation (where the logo is being drawn again and again)
I fixed permissions for secondary ROM, but still no boot, neither primary, nor secondary
I thought that ROMs are independent but seems like I'm wrong
Now I'm hesitating to retest the same with 7.44 kernel and 4.1 ROM (XWLS8)
What Have I messed ?
PS:
I reflashed my ROM and my phone is working fine, this thread is not about solving bootloop (with hundreds of threads dedicated here), it's about dual booting
Dorimanx doesn't support dual boot with any Samsung jelly bean roms currently
So it's kernel related, I did not notice this detail when flying over the changelog or the infinite number of replies :silly:
Thank you for the quick answer...
Try this Siyah MCM Kernel ver 3.0.60
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cm10i9100vsync/files/kernel/
I believe it is smoother than the Dorimanx Kernel and it supports dualboot.
Tha'ts the Kernels XDA thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891222
Not exactly sure what Conny has posted, but just incase you didn't know dual boot can't work with any siyah or dorimanx kernel till the dev fixes it, and only siyah 6 beta 1 or above and dorimanx v3.37 or above work with samsung jelly bean

1Chef is right, I thought Neatrom published a 4.2.1 release
Considering neatrom is based on stock Samsung and not aosp then it can't have released 4.2.1
Got another bootloop while trying (hopfully) the new setup (7.44 + 4.1.2 XWLS8), nothing happened
I think that siyah will give the same result as Dorimanx is forked from, maybe with latest stable future release of Siyah, it could be fixed.
Now, I got tired from re-re-re-re-reflashing my phone :silly:
I'd better wait
Newbie Takes The Plunge to Custom Rom and Kernel: Any Suggestions?
I'm still fairly a newbie, but have rooted two phones so far, thanks to the great information, tutorials, guides, resources, and videos posted here on XDA. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 and my daughter's Samsung Epic 4G.
I rooted my I9100 successfully a few months ago, but have never flashed a rom. I'm going to try out Neat Rom Lite tonight. I've finally gotten up the nerve!
QUESTION: Does anyone have any suggestion of which kernel I should flash along with it? I need better battery life. I would love to be able to watch videos and use the phone regularly and make it through the whole day without charging. Is this possible? Can a kernel and Neat Rom Lite do this for me?
Also, I rooted the Samsung Epic 4G yesterday. Any suggestions on what rom and kernel to put on it and how would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch for any assistance and comments.
Hi guys! I'm new to all of this.
I rooted my Galaxy S2 on a whim with the dorimax kernel.
Now I have the following trouble: There is a noticable lag between pressing the home button and closing the app/returning to the home screen.
This effect started happening after I installed the offical JB update from my provider the dorimanx kernel made it a lot more noticable(ICS was way faster in that regard... which puzzles me quite a bit)
What do I have to do to reduce this problem? Change something in the settings or install a non-stock ROM?
----------
Also three other questions out of curiousity:
Can I use the dorimax kernel with the neatrom?(as the need rom comes with another kernel, I would have to flash the dorimanx kernel on top of it after installing everything?)
If I made a nandroid backup before installing Neatrom: would I be able to return everything to how it was(stock SAMSUNG Rom with dorimanx kernel;by simply selecting my backup under the restore option in CWM) before installing neatrom in case I dont like it?
What is better: The CM that is based on JB 4.1 or NeatRom? Is the CM version based on 4.2 usable, or do they still have some annoying problems? <----I guess there is still no stable build for 4.2 under CM?
Thank you very much guys.
If I get positiv comments I'm gonna flash neatrom first thing tomorrow morning. I allready have nandroid backup and saved a lot of my favorite apps with TB.
Another QuestioN: Would I be able to install the Samsung Stock email app from a TB-Save on another rom?<-- I know that you shouldn't do this with system apps(I dont want to reenter the server adresses for my email account in an other app)

I'm Sure someone else will know different but for me the lag was always there and I never heard of a way to reduce it, I've been using an s3 mini today running 4.1 and there is considerable lag between pressing the button and returning to the home screen so it could be a fault in Samsung JB rom's. Try neatrom, as I understand it's blazingly fast and a considerable improvement over stock.
I've been running cm10.1 for a while and it still has some big bugs (hardware composer etc) that will probably never be sorted due to Samsung's unwillingness to release their sources, and the FM radio does not work. However everything I use works the odd game doesn't (real racing 3) due to I believe the Mali drivers but other than that everything else is running ok. Recent updates have made it very fast and for me it's faster than any "stock" based rom.
Yes you can use dori kernel with neatrom and cm10.1 as well, although you will need the 9.xx kernel.
You can use the stock email app on neatrom and any other stock based rom but not on Cyanogenmmod or any other AOSP based rom.
Yea backup in CWM and you can restore it if you don't like Neatrom.
Hope some of this helps
