I've got an old Samsung I9000, currently with the Tirami Slim ROM which I really love. I was just wondering if anyone had the phone with a different ROM, possibly with a Jellybean one, and their experiences with it?

Healbot posted:I helped someone put CM10 on his SGS, it's smooth as poo poo and based off the Nexus S JB (biggest reason why CM10 for the I9000 was out so fast). Could provide you with more experiences if the dude I helped comes back complaining why it got so slow (he has a history of slowing CM9 down to a crawl). Haven't heard of him in two weeks though, so fingers crossed. That sounds great if you could! I mean I do love this ROM but I also love Jellybean on my Nexus 7.

I've just got the Galaxy Note, and from poking around it looks like the ParanoidAndroid rom is the best Jelly Bean rom for the job. What is everyone else running? Should I even bother and just wait for the official Jelly Bean update (I think they've started rolling it out)?

Silly Burrito posted:I've been running Flappjaxx's rom (http://rootdev.org/topic/rommod-aospxxx-jb-unofficial-aospcm10-mashup/). Currently I'm on 10/5, and it's working very nicely. I will check this out, hopefully tonight, and let you know how I get on! Stupid question, you have to install CM10 on the Note first right? I've only rooted once before. How embarrassing.

Silly Burrito posted:No, you don't have to. This is a mixup of CM10 and stock Jelly Bean. I'm a newbie too, so don't worry, it's not too difficult. What I did was to use the instructions here: About to try this now, thanks for the write up! That's gonna save me a ton of headaches! Just to check, everything essential works for you right? Like wifi, GPS etc? Cos that would suck.

Protocol7 posted:I know I took the gamble when I flashed it, but PA on my Note 2 is terrible. Halo is cool and all, but app syncing does not work. For any app. I've already tried the obvious solutions and a few not-so-obvious. I haven't had any problems with the Carbon Rom or Slimbean on my Note. Maybe try one of them?

When formatting your system data to install an updated ROM, what's the simplest way to restore all your data from apps etc.? Currently I just wait for my phone to install all my apps from the Play Store, then restore all my app data with Titanium. Is that what you guys do?

ProjektorBoy posted:Why aren't you backing up the apps along with the data with Titanium? I am, titanium backs up everything every night, it's just that when you start the phone after a format it downloads all the apps anyway, so I only restore data. It's annoying, Carbon Rom finally updated to 1.8, but for some reason you have to do a fresh install (I tried a dirty update but the phone kept giving error messages constantly, making it unusable)

So I'm right in thinking that when I get a new phone, I can just upload my Titanium backup to Box, then just download it onto my new phone and all the app data will work like a charm? Also it's a long shot but the new phone will be the Galaxy Mega 6.3 - anyone running root and a rom on one of those?

I want to ask questions about the Note 2 and kernels/rom recommendations, like if there are any things worth keeping from Touchwiz or if I should just install Carbon like I did for the Note 1, and if I should bother with one of these supposedly amazing custom kernels. Can anyone please talk to me over PMs? The XDA developers forums is a nightmare of broken sentences and confusing acronyms.

Gilok posted:I just got a Note 2 (Sprint) used, and after a year and a half with a Galaxy Nexus I love the signal and the giant battery, but hate the bundled crap so I'm probably going to root. I'm using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925402 All the touchwiz bloat is removed, you can add or remove whatever you like, it's solid as a rock and the battery life is insane. It's all I've used. It'll be updated when 4.3 is officially released, as apparently there are some issues with the leak. I'm gonna wait.

I've just downloaded Viper4Android. Has anyone else tried this? I use flac files and good headphones, but I normally don't use equalizers. So this should make my music sound like angels singing, right?

I just installed my first customer kernel and feel like a boss. On my Note 2 I'm using Android HD Revolution, and I just flashed the Perseus Alpha kernel. Why didn't I do this ages ago? My benchmark on Antutu went from 20608 to 22600. Not that that means much but my phone is definitely snappier now. I've read the battery life is better but that remains to be seen. Also using Twilight now, which I definitely recommend, and just installed Greenify, which should help. Anyone else using that? I finally got Viper working and now I'm going to tinker with that.

Switchr does something like this, and I love it. Does anyone have experience with updating boot loaders? Currently on a Note 2 4.1 ROM, and Android HD has been updated to 4.3. However I need to update to the MJ5 boot loader for some stupid Samsung reason. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I use root for Greenify, better battery stats, ad block, screenstandby to turn off screen when connected to HDMI, Titanium, to be able to find out the wi fi password if I've forgotten or its been hidden from me, and to install a custom ROM (an optimised Touchwiz ROM). All these things are useful to me and required next to no effort.

the kawaiiest posted:New Xposed module puts GEL's always listening "OK Google" in any launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-ok-google-3rd-party-launchers-t2765635 This works great on my Note 2. I was hoping this would happen. The title of this thread is really incorrect, despite what some people say here rooting can be very useful. I know the standard response is "get a good phone!" but you know what? This is a great phone, and rooting makes it my perfect phone. I can't get these features anywhere else, not even on everyone's beloved N5.

LastInLine posted:Moving forward you'll almost certainly not have the option outside of a device with an unlocked bootloader so enjoy it while it lasts. Why? That's really mean. What have we done to you? That article makes it seem that root will still be possible and things will still work for the most part anyway, so I'm not worried.

Broken? I'd hardly call Touchwiz broken. Sure I prefer stock, but I also prefer SD cards and removable batteries and a fantastic camera and display. I could call a Nexus 5 broken because it doesn't offer what I want, but that would be silly. Yeah Samsung uses a knox counter, which you can trip by flashing a new bootloader which will invalidate your warranty. That doesn't affect me. I live in the UK. We don't have your broken mobile phone system. I don't know if Samsung will go full hog with Tizen, that would be one hell of a gamble. I'd definitely jump ship then.

Just found out that I can root my Asus Zenfone 2. I`m so happy, mainly for the SD Card Fix, Greenify and AdAway. I don`t care about Custom ROMs or recovery.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:That's for some weird overseas version of the S9 that uses a different processor. That's not true. You can root pretty much all Chinese phones e.g. Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE etc Just go to XDA and look at the forums, some are easier than others
