Hi guys
I have a totally stock phone atm and I want to mod the UI. To be honest Im not sure where to start! I want to get a few things running such as the analogue clock and a custom theme. My questions are pretty noobie so please bear with me:
1)DO I need to flash the ROM and what benifits does this give?
2)I have read about there being an old and new manilla. How can I tell which I have and do I need to upgrade if I get a new one?
3)what are the chances of me bricking my phone if I mess with this stuff? (especially the ROM flash)
4)I have experience modding phone UI's but I have never done a smartphone before. Is there anything specific I should know regarding the differences before I start going too in-depth?
any and all advice would be great, cheers

If you follow crackwhores guide, you cant go wrong. You wont be sorry if you flash a cooked rom. Flash NRG28's latest Rom, or one of Dutty's or Miri's, just check out the Rom Development Forum and see which one takes your fancy. I have found NRG28's to be best for me, but they all have something to offer, for me, the biggest benefit is the difference in speed, i couldnt believe how much faster my HD was the first time I flashed it. If you get stuck with anything, just ask and someone will be able to help.

1. No, there is no NEED to. But a non-exhaustive list of benefits include updated applications, faster response times, less bugs, etc.
2. If you go to the settings tab in TouchFlo and look down at the About section, it tells you what Manila version you have.
3. Most flashing issues are completely recoverable these days. However, there is always that miniscule chance that you muck up your device completely . However, if you follow my guide you really can't go wrong.
4. There are some tutorials on skinning and Manila modding in this forum. I would suggest reading through them!
thanks guys, that's put my mind at rest a bit! Time to get flashing
Hi guys this is my first Android device after a few years with an iPhone, now have a N7105.
This device is carrier branded in terms of software with what I assume is a custom ROM from the Telco?
Can I flash the phone to the latest stock ROM, an international version? From what I've read the latest Hong Kong ROM would be fine.
Needs to work in Australia on Telstra's 4G network.
Does anybody have a seriously easy to follow guide for this process?
And finally does this process void my warranty? Anyway to avoid that?
Good day newcomer!
First of all, congratulations on your first Android device and a warm welcome into our community. I'm sure you might be sick and tired of the same boring interface offered by all iGadgets and that jailbreaking and carrier locking stuff.
I must assure you that Android might be a teeny-meeny difficult to use for a first time migrator but once you're enlightened with all the processes and jargons, you would surely regret the every penny you spent to own your iPhone.
Now, for all the N7105 related development, you can head over to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1960
For all the latest stock ROMs head over to: www.sammobile.com/firmware/ Find your model, select the region you want and download the ROM. You can use their guide on how to flash/install stock ROMs, proovided on their website.
Carrier Unlock thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
Flashing stock ROMs doesn't voids your warranty only custom ROMs but you can always revert back to stock ROM making your warranty intact again. But all this could increase your flashing counter which can be resetted using scripts which is currently not available for N7105.
Last but not the least, you can always Google your queries and never call yourself noob in our community.
We are always happy to help you. BEST OF LUCK!
Holala...
welcome to sammy world.
^_^ noob? We are all noobs. We came here to learn. But we shld be an active learner here. We help each other.... BUT....
Make sure you use the search function first on all your question. Most of the basic question is normally being asked by others.
...
When you decide to do something to your phone based on certain thread (root, custom rom, custom kernel, mod nd theme), read the OP and full thread carefully. Only proceed once u know what to do.
....
When u face problems with ur device, don't panic... evrything will have a solutions. Even the worst case, we still have samsung service center. ^_^
....
Last thing, our note 2 is the best samsung device. Which actually with stock rom nd kernel + root, u will have the best experienced alrd.
Good luck with ur new device.

This is my second post. I was pointed to this relevant section of forums/
I am sorry if I am asking something I should not. I am not a technological guy, so I need some help and patience.
My wife has an old gt-i9082, it is at android 4.2.2. I think it is around 3 years old.
I would like to upgrade it to a better version because the cellphone system are already very slow and some app are not working anymore.
A friend told me it is possible upgrade to android 5 (or better), since the cellphone are not at warranty anymore, but I do not know how to do it.
It is a dual sin phone (I do not know if this is important), and also I do not worried if I lose all stuffs. I already back her agenda and some significant photos. I just want a new better operational android system.
So, I am asking for a step by step guide to do it, if it is possible. If it already exist, please point me to the relevant thread.
Again, sorry for my lack of understand.
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi guys, i'm new in forum, after 8 years in iOS, i switched to Android environment and it is all new for me. I really need help cause i'm stuck : I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II a friend gave to me, which was Rooted from him 3 years ago with Dr Ketan custom ROM . I now want to upgrade it's ROM, and install a new one, but i have no idea what to do, or what tools i need. I took a look at the XDA forum, but i can't find what to do if i want to install a new ROM over another one, i don't know what the process is and i really need your help. I don't know what ROM to install or the way to do it. Every help would be great, thanks a lot.
youtube it brother it will be more rom to flah and show you how to do it.
I found a GT-S5363 for cheap at a local market so I picked it up and the seller told me it it a Galaxy S so I bought it because I want this phone so much. But what I found out later it isn't it is a phone on O2. So I searched around this forum and only found ones from 2014 and 2013 but I want those themed Android N on CM 8. They said that ROMs on GT-S5360 works on the GT-S5363 but I don't know newer ROMs will work on that device. So here's my questions:
1. Can I install newer ROMs?
2. How's running?
3. Will it brick your device?
Honestly, I don't have much experience with this era of Samsung devices, I started exploring Samsung stuff starting with the S5 that is toasted by now. I do have a S2 that I still don't have time to fix yet so I don't really have an idea of how old Odin work please help me.
I have the same model. It has absolutely the same hardware as the normal GT-5360. The only difference is the home button and the battery cover, which means all Roms for the normal version should work on this phone as well.
BUT: I tried to install some Custom Roms I found here and it didn´t work. It might be that I´ve done a mistake, but if I was you, I would be careful and ask the developers for their help BEFORE you start.
Good luck!
