hie guys.. am planning to buy a new android device ..actually am a nokia fanboy.. and a symbian modder, have made custom firmwares for nokia phones.. now actually am bored with symbian stuff and wish to buy a android phone.. the android ICS looks quite stunning and amazing
plz suggest a good phone for me..
my budget is Rs. 20000/- (300 euros, 400 dollars) approxx
i need android ics running on it.. a good screen above 3.5 "
if ics is not available official then plz do suggest me a good mod of ICS for the
device you suggest ( actually reserched on many devices and found that many cooked roms of ics dont run camera)
i was thinkin of buyin nexus s but its video rec. is just wvga and i need atleast 720p
also educate me more on android flashing ... like in symbian we got usb flashing
core file, rofs2 file and a uda file for c drive ... how are androids flashed? .. what is the main os file of android (like rofs2 in symbian) ?
see if u can get lg optimus 2x , galaxy w , xperia u or a huawei honor
some phones might be running gingerbread . but will suery get cm9/ICS in future
&BTW some are dual cores
the procedure of flashing !
usually android flashing is done by recoveries ...
there are many famous recoveries like CWM(Clockwork mod) , armon-ra , rz- recovery
there is no need of pc . for flashing
all things are done by recoveries only !
& like on symbian there are rofs2 , and cores etc ... in android there is only one file i.e update.zip
i reccomend u to see dsixda's android kitchen for cooking roms .
press thanks if i helped
hey man i know u i too used to have nokia 5233 with ur storm cfw

cool .. i came across galaxy w .. and found Cyanogen mod9 alpha 1 .. it was cool but camera was not working.. there must be many third party camera apps for android , right? if so then do they provide good quality photos like the defauld camera ?

please wait for stable release for that ROM.
Camera will not work with any app . as it is broken from the kernel itself . wait for the developer of that ROM to fix it .
Once it is fixed u will get a fully stable ROM.

and BTW it is in alpha stage not even BETA ..... which means its not for everyday use .
UPDATE : Best Camera App = camera 360 .....
Hi all
from more than three months ago I am searching for any way which can make S3 acts like S4 in the smart features like smart scroll and smart pause , but I did not get any thread or solution for that , all the developers promise with not achievements , some of the custom roms which includes the features (smart scroll , smart pause) like Glamour S4 rom and S4 revolution 4.1 just includes non active features , just icons , and when I asked why tell now no custom rom or developer solved this problem , I got the same answer (it's related to the proximity sensor) , so when I ask why you don't upgrade the proximity sensor's driver to make it acts like the one which in S4 , I got answer ( will be fixed but in another update) no one tell now do that , that means the developers just work on themes , interfaces , and some apps , and that always happens just after the Samsung get out a new official android version update , or some leaks , when I asked some developers is that any way to make the smart features of S4 work on S3 , all said may be , and we are waiting for the official 4.2.2 or 4.3 for S3 , so if Samsung give the 4.2.2 or 4.3 officially with that features for S3 , so why I should flash a custom rom? I must use the official directly , all custom roms have bugs , heat , lags, sot stable , and cancel the devices warranty because the binary count will increases and even when I reset it with tryangel away , the device still custom in the about device status .
now I want please a clear answer , is the smart features of S4 will work in S3 or I am tiring my self and I am searching for vain thing? please answer me , because just today I became sure that only the official android developers is the kings , because the fans just spend alot of time to give us just interfaces and themes , if I am wrong , show me a custom built from zero to flash it on any device which has no rom,, thank you

S4 features won't be ever perfect on the S3 if you want those features then buy the S4. Developers here spends a lot of time to give what users want so if you want it to work then give them time. Also no software is perfect it will always have bugs and other problems that we may not see. Even the official ones.

Look at the title DEVELOPMENT its a work in progress devs try to build mod stuff .
You have no right to anything at all you pay nothing at all to this development but are just a greedy want want . Really you have no idea what this forum is about its a developers forum for developers not i want want whining kids .
Suggest you stick with stock and stop wasting everyone time on this board .
post reported as offensive to XDA developers

You are not entitled to anything here, nor is anyone obligated to provide anything to you. If it is such an easy task, please, feel free to create a ROM built from scratch to share with the rest of the community

I drop using my Wave long ago, even tho in the meanwhile I used it to watch some spanish streaming tv with the tv output on a crt tv, but now I want to change its OS with a nice version of android, to have a backup of my main android phone (a Vodafone Smart Mini/875 with jellybean 4.1.1) that's actually giving me some troubles.
So now I'm a bit lost, I already found and read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...t-android-roms-samsung-wave-gt-s8500-t2842566 where there's some kind of a list of the actual custom portings, but not all states the android version, besides it seems to not include the 5.* lollipop versions.
What I want to install is a complete and hopefully stable version, it doesn't need to be lollipop/5.*, expecially if it doesn't give any benefit except to being the newest/up-to-date but it eats more ram memory (that with only 512 Mb is an issue, the 875 have the same amount and with jb eats up more or less 400Mb~), and I need (almost) every feature available on Bada being present on Android too (like: tv output, camera button, bluetooth, wifi, 2g/3g/3.5g data/voice/txt, etc.).
I'm just asking to point me (/suggesting) to the right direction (thread/release) to the best or better options available for me.
Thank you in advance!
Man , i will answer you but you better do what i say , cause it is the only truth
Badadroid project start with a couple of an amazing developers , those formed the porting team
the first ROM to be ported to wave was developed by Rebellos and Volk204
after that Volk204 took the project by himself
so:
Any ROMs by volk204 are worth using
Any other ROM you see are just kang/copie of his work by some amateurs , and are without actual support (not if Volk204 doesn't fix the problem himself )
I recommend you using OMni rom 4.4.4 by volk204 and flash RIL fix from this post
volk204 said:
RIL update 20.12.2014 https://yadi.sk/d/kvYUiq6QdWSdD
- SMS fixes
just flash it via TWRP

Omni Lollipop are not for daily use , major problem with it ; is the low free memory , apps will just close , you can't use (for me Endomondo + Music ) it will work to certain point ; than Android will kill one of the 2 apps
Fellow my Guide , it has most of the thing you need
The complete Optimization Guide for Omni Rom (4.4 and Lollipop)
And in earlier this year an another Recognized developer here on XDA "Alberto96" got an interest in developing ROM for wave1/wave2
he released a nice ROM , and now the links are dead , but he is BACK and he is working on his trademark ROM "GearCM" for our wave and from what i see in the his Github , it gonna be awesome
So :
Best ROM now (actual one ROM exist , it is not like i will tell something new ) [ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014 By volk204 (don not install Gapps)
Best ROM ( Future release ) GearCM by alberto96 fellow his GIthub https://github.com/Alberto96?tab=activity
so what are the other ROMs released by Rebellos and Volk204:
it been like this since the very earlier day of Badadroid
Bugs fix go along with ROM updates , they didn't work on the same android version , every couple and there a major bug fix come with the Cyanogen source update
So anything less than Omni 4.4 (11.12.2014) has more bugs .
i must mention
Senior member Hero355 he did work on a promising ROM (Smartkat) by he got busy with life and let the project unfinished . But his Bada 2.0 Turko Rom is just Great
Senior member BenzoX he did work on Dual boot (Bada/android) and Dual android rom boot, he did work on nand and sd ROM (he is also got busy and let some things not fixed ) s
some people are using this unfinished Alpha projects , what do you expect from their ROMs :crying:
there is nothing else you need to know
Kind regards :angel:
So now. With Liondroid, Omni 6.0, GearCM and omni 4.4.4 which one can be considered for a daily use?
In my opinion, if GearCM had a better communication management it would be the best.
if you do not mind the theme in Russian, then take a look http://www.badapps.ru/6081-ledenec-ot-djkoloda-dlya-samsung-wave-8500-i-853008242015.html
Looks promising. At the moment I'm trying liondroid (very smooth but I need further tests) but I keep your link for later.
Maybe you could see with the creator to put his version on xda?
What should I do, if after installing some gapps (not the ones from here) the phone goes with a black screen after starting omni? it only shows the notification bar

Omni 4.4 by volk204, but I figured it out, wipe some data in recovery and I could reflash the ROM again and flash other gapps.. but now, I'm having trouble with the Google play services last update , it's laggy.. I'm trying to optimize the rom with the guide by @ice_ice where there's a section to put the Google play services like it wasn't never installed...but I'm cannot find the option WAKEUP with the 3C Tools app to disable it, I can't disable other services of Google play services becase the phone it's so slow that it shuts down after a while and I can't make it...
Do you think that the YouTube App and whatsapp will work fine if I uninstall the updates? I mean, That would be easier to make, because the updates are killing the ram... It's my dad's phone, so he just need whatsapp, something to check the Facebook (I installed the lite version), YouTube and Something to open Gmail (any reasonable lite app for Gmail?)
Dsebas91 , I use the 4.4.4 by djkoloda without installing, gapps .
All the apps I downloaded in *.apk files.
Recommend YouTube_v4.1.47.apk .
Gmail I checked by logging into account from a standard browser.
Sync contacts with Google through a program of CardDav-Sync.
hello , first, sorry for my bad English .
Second , I have a doubt about this incredible rom , RR, everything works perfectly in the latest version 5.5.7 . , I have no reboots , I do not freeze , everything works fine . the only problem is that I use Instagram and upload videos, but are charged to 50% and stays there.
a shame ... just for this reason can not stay in the rom , anyone have any solution?
thank you.:good:
Hello everybody !
Is anybody working / thinking of working on a Android Oreo ( Go Edition ) port for our Gear S devices ?
I'm not a dev , but I consider myself a enthusiastic user / tester as I have 2 SM-R750 , one running Android Wear port ( not really reaching my needed level of usability with the lack of modem support ) and the other running 5.1.1 CM12.1 with BT-fix ( dailydriver for the past year and some ) although struggling with the 12 to 14 hour of battery life that I experience with the usuall tricks ( NoFrills CPU 300-600 , Tasker , no wallpaper , using 2G , working with Pixel Filter ( although there ar some interferences with the answer slider ) ).
I belive Android Go could be a very good platform for our devices , and I whould love to switch my Android Wear watch to running a developing Android Go rom if anyone whould give it a try .
