Where to find the Lollipop firmware for Huai Asсend Y210 pro? There is one search garbage on the network regarding this model. Thanks.
These custom ROMs are available for Android 5.0 Lollipop
CyanogenMod 12: The probably best-known manufacturer for custom ROMs has already announced the first Nightly versions for around 30 devices. However, the system is not yet ready for daily stable use at the moment. Especially the material design is a problem for the developers.
AICP: The Android Ice Cold Project currently supports more than 20 devices and is based on CyanogenMod. Again, these are only nightly versions.
LiquidSmooth: This custom ROM series is not yet as well-known, but it focuses on speed. Currently, more than 50 devices are supported in the nightly versions.
OmniROM 5: Currently, there is only one version for the Nexus 7, but it is supposed to run stably.
SlimRoms: The developers have announced the especially slim custom ROM SlimLP. However, there is currently no usable version available for download.
Paranoid Android 5: The development of the custom ROM unfortunately stalled a bit and will therefore take a bit longer.
Always follow install instructions for your device specifically. Otherwise, you risk bricking (breaking) your device.

Warning
Before flashing a new ROM, ensure that the model of your Galaxy S4 is correct in the procedure: GT-i9500 for the standard version, and GT-i9505 for the 4G version. Flashing the incorrect ROM on your smartphone could brick it.
PAC-Man 4.4.2
PAC-Man is one of the custom ROMS that is gaining a lot of popularity. It integrates many functions from ParanoidAndroid, CyanogenMod and AOKP, so not only does it have a lot of options, most of them have also been improved on. The version of the Galaxy S4 i9500 is based on Android 4.4 KitKat and is currently in its alpha phase, though some wrinkles still need to be ironed out. The last official version for the I9505 is based on Android 4.3, but it’s more stable.
Lidroid allows you to keep the TouchWiz theme for those who are used to it and don’t want to completely eradicate it. Lidroid is based on the official version of Android 4.4.2, is deodexed, and integrates all the base Samsung functions, along with a theme editor and an excellent file explorer. If you would like to step it up a notch without significantly changing the entire user experience, then Lidroid V2.0 is for you!
MIUI
You may ask why we mention MIUI, a custom ROM that almost everyone knows about? That’s because, on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the size of the screen and the MIUI color management work really well together, as if the ROM was made for the smartphone. If you like big icons and the absence of an app drawer, MIUI might just be your thing. The community behind this ROM, which was first developed by the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi, is very large and extremely active.
Prism Barebone ROM
Prism Barebone is based on Android 4.3. It is stable and allows you to choose between either the TouchWiz or pure Android design. Pre-installed apps and other bloatware have been deleted, however Samsung widgets still remain on board. It’s like the best of both worlds. Prism Barebone allows you to choose what you want to keep from Touchwiz and what you want to get rid of.
CyanogenMOD 11
CyanogenMod has almost become a staple of custom ROMs. It’s very useful, stable and gets regularly updated. The ROM is so good that it’s almost natural to turn to CM if you don’t know what else to flash. There is version for the Galaxy S4 I9500 and one for the S4 4G I9505, both are in the nightly stage, but are relatively stable. Those who want more can turn to CyanogenMod 10.2, which is based on Android 4.3.
Hi
well I have no experience with Custom-ROMs, so can someonePlease explain to me
where exactlythe difference between Official ROMs and Unofficial ROMs is ?
What would you recommend in terms of stability
thanks
This is what I believe it means, using CyanogenMod as an example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod).
AFAIK the CyanogenMod team develop their custom rom for a generic platform. They then select a number of devices and customize the generic version so it can be applied and used on these selected devices.
An official CyanogenMod ROM is when the CyanogenMod team have selected the device and done the extra work for the custom ROM to work on that device themselves.
Unofficial means that the extra work to tailor the custom CyanogenMod ROM for the device is done by other developers, who use the generic base which CyanogenMod provide.
To my understanding its more like sub-beta, directed mainly for flash freaks (count me in).
Regarding stability some official ROMs are far from stable, while some unofficial are ages in front.
Thanks guys for the great explanation....appreciate it...
well , During my search for a good ROM software I have often read that the 2 Roms was s always recommended
1. Temasek
2. LiquidSmooth
i mean are both roms really good and stable on s3?
or would you recommend something else
thanks
I would recommend CM12.1 as a daily driver. Is clean and fast. It works way better than stock Samsung ROMs and is very stable thanks to @JustArchi. It also drain less battery and has a good power save feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-i9300-t3254215
My current setup is this:
Recovery: TWRP
ROM: CM12.1
Kernel: Boeffla
And never been happier with my i9300
Hi
I have the latest version temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1 v18.0 flashed + PA-GOOGLE APPS Plus GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE
and I must say it really makes a great impression, everything seems stable so far.....
well the only thing that bothers me is the (ugly white background in Android Lollipop)but its just a matter of taste :silly:
Plus the newer builds of CM12.1 have OTA updater working.
How would you estimate the stability and performance of CM12.1 ROM's compared to official CM11 nightlies?
Flashed official CM11 once. Within 30 minutes of testing a had plenty of crashes and several Cannot connect to camera.
Lot of people here say that there is no need to move to Lolipop, because Kitkat is far more stable.. However I wouldn't agree.
I have entered the world of modding and found my way to this forum because of Pokemon Go.
I wanted to give the game a try to see what all the fuss is about but can't run it on my phone - it's a blackberry provided by my employer.
So I dug out an old S3 I9300 from the drawer of old phones, but soon found that the version of Android (4.3 Jelly Bean) is too old. I am very IT literate and technically capable so I started researching what to do. I have now rooted my phone and have the following ROM and GAPPS files ready to go - CM11 (Kit Kat), CM12 (Lollipop) and CM13 (Marshmallow).
I don't need any technical help, just advice on which ROM to go for. Should I just go for the latest (CM13) or is that unstable and too much for my phone. Or should I go with CM11 because that is the latest 'official' CyangenMod release. Or should I go with CM12 as a comprise between newness and sufficient releases to address any problems.
My main aim at the moment is to play Pokemon but now that I have discovered modding I suspect that I will be experimenting more.
Cheers,
Nigel
I googled and looks like all 3 CM supports Pokemon Go but:
I also found out that there's no CM12 for gs3
Also, there's no more update for CM11 as CM13 is released, right?
OR you can wait for CM14 actually as Android N is almost done :silly:
But, for now, I would recommend CM13
Hello... Since I'm not very familiar with cell phones I'm curious about something. With a desktop computer, one can build their own or have a manufacturer type ( Dell, HP and so ) Now if you take the custom build system you basically can decide which OS you want, why can't cell phones be similar to that be able to install whichever OS you like, Or can you? Like in Android is it possible to install just a basic OS onto a phone? one that doesn't have let's say Google ( Google store)? Is there an Android build without Google? Also, does Android have an OS with its own browser, if not, why not? thanks

You're thinking about it along the correct route. There are plain, unbranded Android builds known as Vanilla Android. These are the builds you see on Nexus and Pixel devices, built from the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and have no carrier or OEM bloat.
If you're looking for a lightweight Android OS with no GApps (Google Apps), there are a ton of custom Android builds available, the most popular in the world being LineageOS. However, it should be noted that you can't simply flash a vanilla or custom Android build to your device and expect it to boot and function properly. Android ROMs need to be ported to a specific device. This is due to the vast hardware differences between various manufacturers and models.
To see if any custom Android builds are available for your particular device, search your model device in the Search Plus option. If any custom ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc., are available for your device, you'll find them here on XDA.

Thank you for your input it gave me more of an understanding and I will do as suggested
(Device: HDX 7 Thor) Alright... This is the first time ever for me to flash a ROM..
The principles that I have in mind is that I do NOT want the latest, greatest and most secure ... I want the lightest on resources...
As you guys probably already know with each new Android release it becomes more memory and power hungry, so I reckon I want a (stable and fully functional) ROM based on an older release..
According to my research I realized that most users recommend LineageOS but I can only find the oldest version going back to 2017..
Another ROM I found here in the forum is Nexus v4.0.5 which is based on Kitkat..
What do you guys think the advantages and disadvantages of installing either
-Latest LineageOS
-Fire Nexus KTU84Q (a very stable version of the latest Fire Nexus v4.0.5)
-Oldest stable version of LineageOS or CYANOGENMOD
-AospExtended (based on Nougat)
Im to looking for best option for wifi/bluetooth connectivity. Plus it needs to be android 5.0 or newer for the dedicated app I'm using.
Did you find a good one?
I'm in the same boat. Was running AospExtended for a while now, but the WiFi issues and GMS drain was driving me crazy. When it runs, it's very smooth and has great battery life - 1 month in standby, >>8h of usage. Trying now the latest LineageOS, but I suspect the same issues will be there.
