    Thread Odd problems with APN not sticking on Lollipop...

    Little background: I was running Alliance and it was great, decided to be stupid and really wanted MIUI. So...I stupidly thought I could make MIUI work (I know, I know, I'm retarded). Installed MIUI and of course soft brick, no biggie. Then Odin'd back to stock (downgraded to NCE)...

    Thread Really sick of the blue screen of death on this thing

    I know a bunch of people have had it but am hoping new firmware will fix it because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it or warranty work through Samsung. I've tried all the hints and tips...have not rooted it. And I have the P907 AT&T LTE version.

    Thread [Q] Can anyone recommend the "best" ROM with a Sense-based Camera?

    I've tried almost every ROM on here. KK ROM's and JB ROM's...for some reason...VIPER XL always has issues for me. No idea why as it's a great ROM...I get dropped calls, SIM disappears and I have to reboot and a few programs FC all the time. Completely clean install...wiped entirely...tried...

    Thread [Q] Changing Boot screen...will not change!

    Not the boot animation but the boot screen with the red lettering warning about it being for developmental purposes only etc. It's been the ElementalX screen FOREVER and I cannot figure how to change it. I've installed probably 75% of the ROM's on this forum (even the 4.4 KK ROM's)...I've...

    Thread Sense Camera for a KK ROM?

    I am running 4.4 but want to use the Sense camera since I find all the other cameras are too slow to focus. Is there anything I can download to use on Cynogen 11 or any other 4.4 ROM? Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

    Thread ROM idea suggestion / wish list.

    I would love a MIUI ROM, with Beatz audio or some other good audio mod, Sense camera, inverted GAPPS, debloated and customizable kernel. I love the recent MIUI look and themes. Not a huge fan of Avatar (no offense meant to anyone, it just doesn't have the MIUI look I like). Viper is great and...

    Thread [Q] Sense ROM's break my dialer...

    I've tried everything I can think of... 1. I have done a full format of the phone and tried both CWM, TWRP (2.3.3 and newest version). 2. I've tried using Calkulin's Format All and then reinstalling using TWRP. 3. I've tried every other tip I've read on this forum but, no matter what I do...

    I just happened to check new ROMs available on Goo Manager and it showed up. I downloaded it, looks cool but I like Sense so just went back to Hatka instead. Any input? TIA.

    Thread Anyone getting good battery life with an ICS ROM?

    I've tried them all, well, I did about a month ago. I can't get more than 5 - 6 hours of battery life. Went back to GB ROM and I'm up at 11 - 12 hours. FWIW, been flashing ROMS since the original G1 so I'm not a n00b. Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

    Thread Why are some ROMS 600MB+ ?

    Why the huge variation in size but not in features or functionality? Example would be Red Sonja at over 600mb, most other ROMS around 300 and MIUI at 100mb? I've been flashing dozens of ROMS since my original G1 and could never figure out the variance but have also never seen it so extreme...

    Thread [Q] I really want to run MIUI on this thing...

    I installed it and it runs perfectly except the tiny little part of not being able to hear calls. I odin'd the UCKH7 modem and it worked but, still...not able to hear to hear either side of the calls. So right now it's running Baseband version I777UCKH7, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-MIUI-GBA33733...

    Thread I think I got a broken S2....

    I rooted it the second I bought it and then tried to make a call...no sound from either end. Spent a few hours messing around, figuring it was a bad root or kernel. Ended up going back to bone stock....still no sound. I'm going to unroot and reflash stock for the 4th time but I think I just...
