HELP: how to choose the proper Nougat version for my i9190 - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, thank you for help! I've a friend asking me for an update, I'm not oging to spend hours trying to figure out why a [N 7.1.2] AOKP-ROM is diffrente from [7.1.2_r17][OFFICIAL] AospExtended ROM, etc. There are many releases here.. could someone kindly just suggest me the most stable and updated? Thank you a lot!
PS: I've found also the "[CM13/14]-[MM/N] [OFFICIAL] Remix Kernel [3G|LTE|DS]", is this "improvements package" contained already in a ROM? Or should I flash it after I flash for exaple AOKP-ROM?
Thank you

I suggest AOKP, I've been using it for quite a while now and it's quite stable, and all around well built. (Although a minor feature, it has very pretty customisation features, not much, but a transparent "glassy" status bar is possible for this rom, as well as transparent volume control.)

Thank a lot for your answer! What about the kernel remix? Is it possible to flash just after aokp? Or better not?

Reply.
Though I have flashed kernels after the roms before, and they worked, I think it'd be better to flash the kernel first, since flashing the kernel after the rom can lead to a boot loop, if that was your question.

[Q] About ROMS

I guys,
I'm new to this ROM things.
I want to install a ROM that don't bring me problems or bugs, and that got embedded all the usefull stuff.
At this stage, is better installing CyanogenMod 7.1 KANG RC-3.0 or Cy4noobsMod-7.1.3.1??
Which is more stable and has no bugs??
Or do you recommend me another ROM?
I currently have GB 2.3.5 Stock Rom via sammobile.com
Thanks =)
I would recommend CM 7.2 RC1.
It's the most stable CyanogenMod for the gio right now and works just fine.
I would not recommend any other cyanogen, as they all have some issues right now.
If you want something closer to stock rom, go for particle rom.
You'll find all of them toghether with directions in the developers section here.

[Q] Difference between XenonHD/Purity and CM10.1

Hi!
I would like to know to biggest differences between those roms.
And, also, is XenonHD and Purity are based on CM10.1? (so it could have the same stability and all the features that CM10.1 have)
-
What I'm looking for, a CM10.1 based rom (stable) that have a few more features (like navigation bar and status bar transparency and navigation bar dpi changer). It's not really easy to figure out which rom is the best (for me ). I tried ParanoidAndroid but there's just too much differences, I always found bugs that got me reverted back to CM10.1.

Thank you for reading! (and if you can help me )
Have a nice day,
Daniel.
Everyone else learned by reading change logs and flashing ROMs. I recommend you do the same
U.O.E.N.O
Thanks for the reply.
I know about the change logs, but I didn't found one for CM10.1 (like a huge change log for the new stable release).
Where do you think I could find one?
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm10&device=maguro
Or you can learn how to read github if you want the complete official changes in CM or any rom

Thank you for the link.
Yep, I should!

Beginner help please - CyanogenMod 13 and questions

Hi there, I'm new to these threads and recently put cyanogenmod 12.1 on my nexus 7. I was surprised how clean and well optimized it ran so I was going to put cyanogenmod 13 on my HTC One M9.
So I was curious if there was anyone on these forums that had the time to answer some beginner questions.
1: I have carrier locked HTC One M9 from Australia, can I unlock and install Cyanogenmod 13?
2: How can I backup my original Rom?
3: Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance
Go into recovery and twrp has a backup button. Save it to your micro SD card
1. You will need to get S-OFF to be able to flash MM 3.xxx.xxx firmware to be able to run CM 13.
2. You need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3066720
3. Read and read

Since I had a similar question to what's been posted here. I'm going to ask in this thread. I've been looking for non-sense(no pun intended) roms, for my phone and found that CM looks like something I'd like. However, all I've found are nightly builds. Is it a good idea to wait until there are some stable builds or are those nightly builds good enough? Been looking for non-sense roms all over, but it seems all the top ones are derived from sense, I'm just interested in getting as far away from stock as I possibly can.
Candy rom and CM are the only builds I've used on M9....
Candy is CM based and runs far better than stock CM nightly builds...
CM will get there...but for now I'm avoiding it...
Also...candy rom will run on 2.x firmware....and CM13 will not....g

Newbie here, just did my first root + got a custom rom (CM13) [if you're thinking of getting it now, please don't. I'm doing you a favor.]
However, releasing what nightly's are, im now wondering how stable is this 'Candy rom' you speak of?

Small question, if you will. Does CandySix bring all the features that CM does? By this I mean, root, the UI customizations such as menu colors, themes, and UI tweaks. I'm using ViperOne right now, and although I like its UI themes and colors a lot, I don't like Sense that much. I know this isn't all that related to the thread but I don't want to open up a new thread just to ask about this stuff.

Candy is far more feature rich than CM vanilla roms...
Give it a try...I think you'll like it...g
I will try it then, thanks for the help.

Difference between ROMs - any with OTA updates?

Hey guys,
new OP3 owner here - coming from a Galaxy S2 running 6.0.1 and I have to say I just love the idea of 'unofficial' developers and they're doing SUCH a great job!
I just unpacked my device after the OP3T reveal and finding the upgrade isn't worth the money for me and now I have a few questions:
on my S2 I had not exactly the biggest variety of ROMs to choose from so I haven't had this problem before: I have no idea where the basic differences are between CM14.1, Freedom OS 1.10.0, AICP 7.1 and CypherOS 7.1
I know switching ROMs for a few days would be the safest way to say which suits me the best, but I'd like to have some info beforehand - the threads for those ROMs do list the features, but I honestly can't really see the difference most of the time.
So, if anyone here with quite some experience could say 1 "unique selling point"/special feature or what the ROM is known for in one sentence each, I'd be overly grateful
And another question: is there any ROM supportin OTA updates so one has not to flash the whole ROM again to get the next version of said ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice incoming
Gwiel
CM14.1 - cyanogenmod itself
Freedom OS - based on stock oxygenos with additional mods
AICP 7.1 - based on CM14.1 with more features added
CypherOS 7.1 - based on AOSP with extra features
If you want to know the special features of those roms, go to their threads.
And I don't think incremental OTAs are supported.

Freedom OS and OOS is also based on AOSP, just to clarify

I would say AICP if you want just some extra features and OTA, in terms of updating I think AICP is the best. Although I never flashed CM so i don't know about OTA on CM.
Hydrogen, Oxygen, FreeDom. Official or CB, CE, best. You only dislike them if you are a CM fun.

Customs Kernel WiFi Fix

Hi guys,
I've been in and out of using custom ROMs/kernels for a while now, and finally found a rom I like nearly as much as OOS, so think I'm gonna stick with it a while. It runs well, but battery drains much faster than Oxygen so I want to try a custom kernel, but I know from the last time I tried an aosp based rom it's gonna break the WiFi, though as I understand it there is a fix/workaround?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or do any of the kernels provide this fix OOTB? I want to know the fix before flashing just to save hassle, I'm using Resurrection Remix Pie v7.0.2, haven't picked which kernel I want yet (open to suggestions) ?
Bluspark if you want to stay close to stock. It's HMP. If you'd like to try out EAS go for Weeb kernel. Both provide the same battery life as stock for my usage and both are great and have great support IMO.

Just check the kernel threads whats. I doubt there is any kernel which would break wifi...
There are a couple of implementations of WiFi module actually. Some kernels have multiple versions like Weeb, and you need to select the right one for your ROM to make WiFi work.
