Hi all,
I've got an older version of a specific ROM that gives great battery life, while the newest version of the same ROM does not. So, my question is, can I simply extract the boot.img (I'm after the kernel) from the older and replace it in the newer without a problem, or doing something exotic besides using a zip utility to recompress the ROM?
Thanks in advance...

Maybe, this new ROM have a DEV, right? did you ask him?
You can make a test, backup all roms and make the tests, i think is the only way, if something goes wrong you can go back with backup you made.

I've just dealt with it the way I described previously, and it works fine so far... :good:
Heyyo, hmm that would only solve it if the issue is kernel related but yes to do so you would need android kitchen. If you search on Google for android kitchen XDA the XDA thread about it should pop up.
For example, LineageOS 15.1 for x2 recently suffered a hit to screen on time... Nothing kernel wise changed it was something Operating System wise... It does seem like the latest updates to LAOS seems to have helped recover at least some battery life which is good.

I was able to import the older boot.img into the newer ROM via zip. I'm currently testing it to see if the issue is truly kernel related. Thanks for your input, though...
But no need to put on zip file of the you want to test, just flash the boot.img over fastboot and you are good to go.
So, if it works for you now, its all fine.

Can't wait to see it get torn apart. Hopefully it has some good stuff.
Interesting. Downloading now.

Yeah, what rom is this?
This comes from google. Rom developers basically take this stuff and throw it into their stuff.
Wait until Paul or someone figures out what has changed and such.
This can include new radio, Gapps etc..
okay I renamed this to PASSIMG.ZIP and it still won't flash on a virgin Nexus...what gives??? I forgot, does it have to have the Amon_Ra's recovery??
EDIT: Nevermind!!! It would help if I put the file in the root directory instead of of a sub-dir.
Same radio unfortunately.
oh i c so it is a stock rom from google now where abouts can we locate these roms on website... is this basically for developers then...

Nothing really different about it ... probably some minor framework revisions ... and it lacks GoogleGoggles and VoiceDialer like epe54b had.
Nothing really of note here.
~enom~
This could delay the release of 5.0.5 since Cyan may want to include some of the optimizations (assuming there are any) in his latest build.
Can't open links. Can someone please upload it somewhere else?
My N1 is unrooted. Can I flash this ROM? If yes, how do I proceed? Thanks.
Had to open through a proxy site. Must have trouble with accessing from outside US.
So guys, I have finally rooted my s3 (international version) after the warranty expired a week ago.
Have installed CWM and am in a search of ROM for it now.
For now I have decided to flash CM 11, but have few doubts about it:
Should I install m9 snapshot or m10 snapshot? I read it on reddit that m10 is not stable, so should I go for m9 instead for now?
And the zip file from their official site is around 212 MB, so does this zip file contain gaaps? If no, then where can I find the gaaps file for cm 11 m9 snapshot version?
I am kinda new to these things so sorry for being so noob.
And since I am flashing a rom for the first time, do I need to do anything else other than these steps:
1. Backup current rom using recovery.
2. Copy the zip file of the cm 11 rom in SD card.
3. Reboot into recovery, clear data, clear cache and clear dalvik cache.
4. Flash rom and gaaps(if not included in rom).
Any help regarding the above post

Only stock roms come with gapps.

I have actually read a lot about it, have done all the prerequisite steps (nandroid backup, efs folder backup etc), have downloaded cm 11 m9 and gaaps for it, now the only thing that is stopping me from flashing is rootSU post here which says:
"Note that Cyanogenmod is very controversial for the international version of the S3, there are technical issues, and newer stable version is always behind, I would NOT go for Cyanogenmod at the moment.."
So should i go ahead and flash cm 11? What do you guys suggest. I know i am being too preventive but this is my first time so i think this is understandable.

That was made 2 years ago. Ignore that and flash cm if you want to give it a try. Countless number of us use it no problems. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.
Thank you for your reply. So alright I will flash cm now, and will keep you updated about my experience of flashing my first rom. Lol.

Its funny how I am in the Exact same postion as you. I have CRM recovery and thinking about CM, I have downloaded the Snapshot. verison and hopefully will be flashing my first ever ROM today or tomorrow. Let me know how it goes for you please
DARK - Can i ask which CM verison and build are you CURRENLTY using? and how do you find it?
and quick question.
I see in some youtube vidoes ( I understand we wipe cache/dalvik/partion) but some people do something like Mount/ system thingy? Do I HAVE TO do that? as some vidoes DON'T do it?
Thank You

Have successfully flashed CM 11 M9 snapshot, and everything is good as of now.
And I also didn't mount anything, just follow the simple steps ( wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash rom and gaaps), and everything should go fine.

tHANKS How much FREE RAM do you get in CM11 Snapshot.
I will be doing the EXACT Same thing as you today or tomorow .
but I have a question , I'm stuck
How did you BACK UP your EFS folder/file?
I cant back it up suing the APP KTool Hack?
There is not much difference in free ram, but that should not be a problem I guess.
And for tha efs I actually used a app called Samsung tool (there is thread here on xda, go ahead and search it, else I will provide you tha link once I get on pc.) But after I read about k-tool, I even used it to backup it again and it worked for me fine. So you can try Samsung tools or may be some expert can help you in this regard.

Hey!!!!!! THANKS!!!
I USED Samsung TOOL
I JUST PUT THE FIRST EVER ROM ON MY PHONE!!!!!!
IT WORKS!!! :d
Im so happy I didn't screw anything lol!!!
How are you finding it?
only 1 stupid thing I got charged for a GPS because my phone automatic used mobile data!
CM11 Snapshot, is like Normal Stock Andriod. Has a few new things? like DPS and some terminal setting - Not sure.
It felt a bit laggy ,first but then speeded up.
WAHOOOO I GOT KITKAT!!!
Lol nice.
For me it wasn't laggy at all, buttery smotth. And yes as of now I haven't found any drastic changes, although haven't used phone much after updating but still I don't think my battery life is gonna improve :/ So most probably would be dead soon, will have to research on it though but thats out of topic now
Android operates differently to windows so the theory about free ram doesn't apply here.

Are you unable to download from cyanogenmods servers?
Hey guys, so the last phone I rooted and had a bootstrap on with custom roms was the Motorola Droid x2. We couldn't even get into the kernel. So with that being said I've acquired super user on my g3 months ago to freeze apps. But now I don't depend on my phone like I did then for work. So I want to do the whole thing and I'm unsure what choices to make. I'm not looking for a guide for installing stuff (at least not yet ) just trying to get suggestions and hopefully good recommendations.
So here's the main point for the post
TLDR!!!!!
Current android version 5.0.1
kernels- unlock it? Change it? Not sure what all you can actually do with that.
Bootstrap- clock work mod? Or any other one can't think of names but need something to load roms
Rom for battery and power- cyanogenmod is what I use to run on the x2 not sure if it's still one of the best?
Anything else I missed that I should get and check out?
Thanks in advance
Put TWRP custom recovery on your phone with the autorec TWRP app by @bender_007, in the General section of the non-variant specific G3 sections. Once you give the app superuser permissions it looks like it's hung up but give it 10-30 seconds because it's backing up your current recovery. Then click the button to install TWRP. Download the latest TWRP v2.8.7.0 from its thread also somewhere in the G3 sections, and flash it from your current TWRP.
I use @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM, which is based on the latest official LG ROM, build 35B, based on Android 5.1.1. Very happy with it, very smooth and great on battery.
I haven't heard the term bootstrap with regards to custom recoveries. I'd suggest just calling them custom recoveries.
Thanks for your input it's been a while after I read it I was like yep it's custom recoveries lol thank you again

its you. i used a pc to access the site most of today and haven't had an issue.
Alright thanks I'll look into my pc then. Also I haven't decided if I want to flash a custom kernel I don't know what all it can change any advice?
Since I haven't seen any other threads on this topic, I figured I'd go ahead and get the ball rolling for anybody interesting in building a custom ROM. As the title suggests, this is a completely deodexed system image for the latest firmware update we recently received.
Just to clarify, this is a (mostly) stock base, and is intended to serve more as a foundation/starting point for anyone looking to build their own ROM.
I took the liberty to update all applications to their newest/current version and preinstalled busybox, which should save everyone a considerable amount of time and data. I also removed about a dozen or so apps that don't serve any beneficial purpose to the phone, but I will still include them in the download link for anybody that wants them for whatever reason.
You will obviously need to be rooted in order to flash this through recovery, so unfortunately if you are one of the unlucky souls that lost it with the update, you'll have to wait for a custom tot to surface before you can flash this.
I've been running this image for the last couple weeks or so and haven't encountered a single issue, but you should still make a backup of your current setup prior to flashing just to play it safe.
Nothing special needs to be done when flashing it, just the standard factory reset along with SuperSU and you should be good to go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and hopefully you like it!

Yes, for simplicitys sake I chose to use an image in the zip instead. Not knowing if anybody would even be interested in this, it seemed like the logical route to take. Though you might have found other ROMS that are directory based for our phone, I doubt you've found another that's already predeodexed for you. Its also extremely simple to extract this image into the filesystem that you're looking for, but not the other way around.

Flashed this yesterday and have had no issues since. Pretty solid. Thanks!
Got a question. So I'm rooted and on 10a. I can flash this without any problems? Can I use the twrp app or should I boot into recovery? Thanks.
I came across this TWRP for the SM-S820L (Straight Talk) and figured I'd try it...Flash through ODIN!
CONFIRMED works on SM-G360P!
Edit: new download link. Sticking with AFH.com from here on out. Get TWRP for the SM-G360P HERE
Also Have a Stock root/deodex/debloat rom that I cooked in is ASSAYYED's Kitchen v1.10 Stable (Easiest and most in-depth android kitchen I've found yet)
init.d support included
su.d support
build.prop tweaks
init.d tweaks
Zipaligned
some bloat removed, I left the sprint stuff. Still experimenting.
and more
total size is around 500 mb. TONS of extra space
I am close to having an updated version but am unable to test at most times being as this is my primary device. I will get the second one up soon.
Get it Here
