Tired of flashing roms... - Nexus 4 General

Anybody feels that flashing roms thing got annoying and at some point you realize all you do is flash roms instead of using your phone for serious matters? I like flashing roms too, but I notice that may be at some point it is no fun anymore? Share your thoughts
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Whole point of flashing ROMs is to find something that suits your needs and when you find that ROM there is no need to flash anything else apart from experimenting
I have been on paranoid android for a month now and haven't have the urge to switch at all.

Back from your ban and trying to create a stir again?

I used to get bored with the ROMs themselves and flash different ones from time to time just for a change of pace and to try and boost performance. Then one day I realized..
My phone sucks. (Nexus S 4G)
I'm getting a Nexus 4 today though. On which I'll probably stick to stock for a while.
P.S. Cook your own rom and you won't need to flash so many that others have made.

I rooted my Nexus S and experimented with ROMS almost endlessly. The best combo I found was actually stock rooted with a better Kernel.
However, I wont be messing about with my Nexus 4, basically I need my phone to work and I found that most ROMS simply aren't anywhere near reliable enough.

ive been stock for a while...flash CM 10 and paranoid android but nothing feels better than stock vanilla...i might root again but no rom flashing

Keep in mind this is a Development site, flashing is part of the development....if one is annoyed it is simple do not flash. Thread is going no where....Thank You.
BTW side note, why not just say "Thank You" or slap thanks to those...that provide freely the development that is going on here, on our great Development Site.

ROM Manager and Devs

I know I am probably going to get some heat for posting a "Question" in the Devs section, but I did attempt to ask it in the Q&A section, but have not received any responses from any of the developers (not sure if they regular that section).
My question is why none of the Captivate developers utilize ROM manager as a place to download (and update) their custom ROMs? I know many of us have purchased the premium license, and wonder why you haven't utilized this feature? Is it more of a hassle? Is there costs involved that inhibit Devs from wanting to post there? I know EVO owners have a wide variety of ROMs on their device available for download right from manager.
Thanks in advance, and if this tread needs to be moved or deleted after, I won't be offended.
........and thank you Devs for your AWESOME Roms!
I, too, was disappointed after purchasing ROM Manager Premium that there were no ROMs available to download. I was under the impression that this would open up a load of ROMs for me to download and try out.
Personally, I think the purchase was well worth it considering how much I've used it. I did it to support the guy. I can find roms on my own.

Oh, I completely agree. I was just wondering why our devs haven't utilized it. Maybe it has to do with the file type system that the Galaxy S's use? I know it is probably safer using Odin to flash back to stock first, but maybe there was another reason? Or maybe that isn't even a reason?

I am not an expert but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that rom manager does not work with the captivate as it does with other devices such as the evo. For whatever reason when you simply try to flash a new rom, old remnants remain and you often experience problems especially when the new rom is based on a different build/kernel, etc. That is the reason everyone recommends flashing stock using odin first as it eliminates all remnants of the previous rom.
It is nice to be able to use the full functionality of rom manager on my evo but honestly I usually research here on xda first anyway.
I have yet to see a full explanation as to why we have the issue on the captivate and hopefully someone who understands the exact reason will take the time to explain.
It's related mainly to the Kernel and Modem I'm sure. The evo community doesn't use a kernel and modem file designed for an entirely different (albeit very similar) device; we do.
Rom manager needs to be more clear on how many ROMS will be available before purchase. The way it's worded makes it seem like you'll have roms to choose from regardless of your device.
I also upgraded to premium and spent time"trouble shooting" trying to figure out what was wrong.
I knew every popular rom wouldn't necessarily be listed but I certainly expected something.

Not the point of the question. Incase it needs to be reiterated, what he wants to ask is: Developers. Why are your ROMs not available via Rom Manager directly?
If there is a reason why you don't use it, it would be nice of you could elaborate. Not everyone has money to throw at something that they don't see beneficial. (Paid vs unpaid.) Donations are nice, but they are donations for a reason. Any "Oh, but you should contribute to Rom Manager creaters anyway." chat is beside the point and not the focus of this thread, so please keep your opinion on purchasing donate versions out of the equation.
I cant say why but it is their chose as if they want to use it or not. Please dont open more then one thread on the same subject.
I deem this thread closed

The thing about custom ROMs...

I've flashed a few custom ROMs + Kernels on my Nexus 7, but I always return to stock. I find stock JB to just be rock-solid, with great battery life.
I've found that most custom ROMs have some tiny issues, and they always bug me. Same with custom kernels. There's always an occasional crash here or there, or some unexpected jerkiness.
But I guess it's always a compromise. If you want features/performance, you'll have to live with bugs/lower battery life. But, being a Nexus, we'll get newer, feature-filled versions of Android right away!
So what about you guys? Do you feel that custom ROMs/kernels are lacking that perfection and finesse the stock ROM has? Or is your custom ROM completely stable with absolutely no bugs?
I love the custom ROMS. No complaints from me. I prefer some version of CM...usually AOKP. They are always upgrading it, so there are some small problems with it at times but I really enjoy it too much to complain or go back to stock. Don't get me wrong stock is very smooth with few problems.

I so agree with the above.. Also your opinion is welcome but due note that these developers are doing this as a community effort for FREE.. They improve our devices give us some things Google decided to leave out. Also im not sure you are aware of this or not . But often you will see some of the So called custom rom stuff injected into future GOOGLE STOCK ROMS... Google does watch the development community and use there code from time to time . My guess is alot more then they would tell...

My bootloader isn't even unlocked on my N7 and it's only unlocked on my GN so I can flash updates once OTA or images are posted.
I agree that all the roms are great. My favorite is PA, love that rom. But after a while i just feel like going back to stock. But then its not long before i am back on pa.

I agree with the OP on ROMS, I haven't found one "better" than stock yet. Different yes, more/other customizations, yes. But so far not better. Yes, the devs do this for free, and for their own reasons. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't state our preferences. There are kernels that improve the device greatly, running one myself. But I've tried more than half a dozen custom ROMS and none gave me anything that would make me stick with it. Always went back to stock.
Not knocking all the hard work and effort. It's pretty amazing what some of these devs come up with, wish I had the knowledge and skills they have. Might try to pick up some basics, just so I understand more of everything involved with it. But I'm a system guy, not really a software dev.
Keep in mind we are nitpicking, custom features on new code it takes sometime implement them properly. I am rocking stock at the moment with stock recovery just cause Google is moving fast this time of year.
So take any bug with the custom Roms like this, yes it has more features, you may or may not be affected by bugs. If that bothers you then rock stock. Cause once cm hits stable that's when everything usually falls into place.
Just hopefully we can have less people posting silly complaints on in process releases. Go look in the Ubuntu thread, some user is just posting "its slow" or " there is no reason to use this" as if was a final product makes me smh

I haven't used a single ROM in the android development I only used ones from original development.

Used trinity and Francos kernel have had better results with Francos, his is just about an optimised stockish kernel.

We shoul be lucky we have so many options for our Nexus 7, Stock ROM is rock stable and smooth , and to add to that we have almost 7-8 different custom ROMS which are also stable each with their own features and 3-4 different kernels to play with
I am flashing different ROM every 4-5 days
Play around people thats what I like about Android - complete control of your device and Nexus - quick latest stock updates and lots of custom development
Agreed, I prefer stock rom, but also I like to root it, and change fonts...

Hi,
Never begin flashing stuff...
Go back to full stock and never unlock/root again...
Forget this nice and exciting moment (first flash), it's bad for you and your addiction, no longer look behind you, look ahead ...
Think about how you was very nervous, too much stress, maybe too dangerous for health and it's not worth...
Think about your phone, maybe to much stress and fear for him too, maybe it doesn't like you for now, save your relation with him, it is not yet too late...
Try to find help from a repentant flashaholic...
And the most important, leave XDA for always...
In any case welcome and congratulations...

I wouldn't say there's no turning back. I used to flash every rom there was starting from the Samsung Captivate all the way through the HTC One. Starting from my Moto X, and now this phone, I haven't flashed a single rom. I guess stock android is just that good now. Of course, I always root and install gravity box, but who knows, maybe that will go away soon too with 5.0.

I'll agree with that. I got hooked flashing all the time starting with cm9 on my devices. Flashing every single night etc. Did this for years. Only thing I have done is flashed Franco kernel on my N5 and have Gravity Box installed. Couldn't be happier.
I am in same boat too, just flashing kernels these days.
I have to have, Elemental for my usage, followed development before I had my N5. (Using since HOXL)
The rest, I may try, but usually go back to stock other then kernel.
Hence my desire for nexus, no skins to remove, just a tweak or two.

I'm going to have to agree with you. A couple years ago, I was flashing constantly (multiple roms a day if I was feeling really crazy). Now, I just don't feel the need. Stock Android is rock-solid at this point and I don't feel like roms offer any meaningful improvement anymore. It was a whole different ballgame back in the CM7 days.
While I'm completely stock on the N5, and probably will be for a while...one of the inherent joys of having wizbang custom roms is that often times when other people pick up your phone, they seriously have no idea how to use it.
It's nerdy to think this is fun of course, but dammit...it is fun.
Flashing Rom is the only way imo.
however stock N5 is near perfect

Heh... it's addicting.
Much as I liked the stock stuff, I got used to the fancy stuff that I had running paranoid android 3.99 on my s3... so now I've been ROM jumping kk nightlies trying to find the best approximation. Beanstalk is where I've settled while I wait for PA to start putting out feature nightlies in the hammerhead stream.
I'd say that the feeling that you got when you flashed your first ROM is nothing compared to the feeling of getting out of your first bootloop or bad flash or your first buildbot actually booting. Knowing how to get out of those situations bring a sense of pride that you can only get from knowing what you are doing at a base level.
I'm talking about people on forums and not your mom or friend now, but so many people don't know the very basics of how these things work. More to the point they don't know of the potential they have (both good and bad). That all comes with time and exposure though. I still remember my first terminal script for apps2sd on Éclair.
It really doesn't matter what ROM or Kernel I am running because by the time I get done breaking it down and rebuilding it, it very rarely looks like the original version. Actually troubleshooting something and fixing it correctly, then that fix gets implemented into someone else's problem and you can talk them back from the edge of panic. That is the buzz for me.
I love my N5 on stock rom, but who knows when paranoid comes with all his features ill be tempted
mee too
I used to flash roms pretty often on my Desire HD but since I've gotten my Nexus 5 I haven't flashed a rom yet. I am however, unlocked, rooted, and using a custom recovery. I'm a cm fan so once they release a stable build with all the features I want I'm sure I'll flash cm11

Is it just me or do Roms today lack sustenance. Most Roms all just share the same features. Whether its pie, lock screen notifs, listview animation, and all do so with out functionality. The first day is fine but after that you get a framework issue. Paranoid lacks the wow factor it had with jelly bean, and cyanogen has been dry and doesn't inform people on their new features.

well, if you keep following the "popular" roms, what do you expect? why do people always assume that if its a popular rom, then it has to be good? there are many more roms out there than pa or cm. look in the original dev threads(not android dev threads, since they are all just basically cm or other rom based). i gave up on popular roms like cm years ago, literally. anyways, personally, i dont look for features, so roms with many useless features are worthless to me. i want stability and speed, stuff that the popular roms lack.
and if you dont really like the selection. learn to make your own. and i dont mean learn to just put it together from other peoples patches/code, learn how to actually develop and make something new.
This has been discussed a lot of times in the galaxy nexus and nexus 4 forums. The thing with custom roms is that you will always have people asking for features (that other roms have) to be included in roms they are using, so basically you end up having most of the features everywhere.
My opinion is if someone has the tendency to get bored after a while, and has the constant itch to modify something, the nexus line is not the best choice. OEM branded devices have their corresponding software (touchwiz, sense etc...) and AOSP ports, which gives those people a wider selection. Needless to say that their AOSP builds mostly contain certain bugs, so constantly flashing fix-packs can be an additional level of excitement to please the itch :good:

OP as stated, if you or any others get bored, with the Great Work being provided here or any where on XDA, change devices or, this is a Development Site sooooo. If you feel so much, that you have to open a thread in this manner, I say: Pickup & Learn Development and then provide it here as others have and are doing freely. Functionality, well that would be something different for each Member, and last time I check these ROM's that are being shared/provided are the work of those OP's who took their time to make for themselfs, and felt they can share it here on XDA. If you find something not to your liking and or functionality, you can either move on or again make your own....or stay Stock, which there is nothing wrong with Stock.
Thanks and Thread Closed.

Currently running crom and it's great but I'll probably start experimenting soon.
Was that way on my Nexus, and still am a bit on my G2, though not AS much. Well, I can't say that completely. I usually decide at some point to see what's out there, then I'll go through 3 or 4 ROMs to see what features are on each before settling in on one for a while, til I see another thread with another release with new goodies. Currently on C-Rom 7.1 and..aside from a couple tiny things I wouldn't mind seeing, it's been stable as I could ask for over the last two days and doing well for me.

I wonder if the new Google music issue will cause people to flash less? Only 4 deauthorizations a year would be tough to stay under.

Yeah that's gonna suck if that's true.
I have the crackflashing sickness as well. Thought I could get rid of it by picking a ROM (CloudyG3) and deleting all other nandroids (PA, Mahdi) but that doesn't work either. With apps auto downloading after entering your google account info it's really easy to do a clean install. I think I got it licked this time though.
Update:i seem to be doing well i have been running stock unrooted for like 2 days now like the program says one day at a time

I'm addicted to reboots due to constant tweaking using xposed :laugh: These days it's easier for me to stick with one very stable and friendly ROM, and just tweak it however I want using xposed, compared to finding a ROM that has everything set the way I like.
I folded i just rooted my phone still have no custom recovery tho!
