.
worth noting that many roms are switching to an rdp scheme (retrofit dynamic partition) and requires a modded recovery
most roms announced here are old and will be safe with the official released recoveries

I've read conflicting remarks in the individual threads of various roms, and am thus confused.
Will the official 4.3 update have any helpful effect on the development of completely Sense-less roms like CM and Paranoid Android, or does it only really make a difference for stock-based ones?
I'm pretty sure it will make a difference once we get kernel source. I could be totally wrong. But that's my guess. But i'm pretty sure 4.3 roms are already running well!
Kernel source and vendor binaries are where it will make a difference
hi , iam using slimroms since a rough year on my former sgs1 and now on my note 1 . i realized now that even i love the rom and all the abilities of newer android versions , i have to go stock because of the unreliable usb drivers that regularly break connection and have poor performance when running as storage device from within android . for that reason i was looking in the forums about the stock roms and came across those stock and tw based roms . my question is now are these stock roms wich got tweaked and rooted but inherit all the properiat drivers that samsung got in his version and will these roms provide all levels of hardware support that i need for reliable working. despite beeing stuck on 4.1.2 then . and are these stock kernels like phillz one also working with the hardware as expected . finally the question about the different carrier versions wich seem to be the thing for newer stock roms like xxlt9 etc ... what does this mean in regard to the rom as i only know this numbering from the radios . thank you , chris

AOSP based and cm based ROMs haven't been stable as of now,it doesn't mean it lessens affort of developers like akhil or varun but we need stock based ROMs in the meantime if you see nexus 5 forum there you have "catacalysm"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-5-t2518660)which is most appropriated rom over there. It is essentially a stock rom modified with some gravitybox like features .It even supports RRO layERS. I am not a dev by any mean don't have computer to try out these things but we have well more than capable developers who could develop such ROMs quite easily.What do you think is it worth it?
Would it be possible to update the kernel of the N6? Since it's still using an old kernel (3.10)? I know Qualcomm is the one who normally would do the work, but how hard would it be, if someone had to update the kernel and such?
Well, upgrading the Linux kernel won't do much to improve Android based device. Custom kernels are constantly up to date with patches to 3.10, which is a LTS (long term support) kernel. It's EOL is october 2017, that means only after this date there is a real benefit in upgrading to newer release as far as security reasons are concerned.
Hey, Community.
I was wondering, since the Kernel vis-a-vis Devicetree are available and the bootloader is mostly unlocked, how far have the building of custom roms and twrp progressed?
If you have any opinions or updates on this matter, pls feel free to ust this thread.
