In simple terms stock based roms will use the Sony skin and many of Sony's apps - typically the developer will have tweaked the build to improve performance or used the most recent version of Sony apps from higher end devices (the Z1 for example). They may also add some extra features - (using the volume buttons to skip music tracks/advanced reboot menu).
Custom Roms won't have any of the Sony features and generally will be closer to unskinned AOSP (Android Open Source Project) in appearance. They will mostly have some unquie features and be more options for customisation than a stock based ROM. Developers can also release higher versions of Android than Sony, allowing the user to experience Kit Kat long before Sony release a build. They tend to perform better than stock builds because they are less bloated. Sony has significant facebook integration within it's builds for example, similarly whilst it's possible to ignore it, there is a lot of secondary marketing within a Sony build trying to get you to use their music/video/games services. Most of these apps are heavy, slowing down the device. The SP copes fine, but their are definitely smoother custom roms out there.
Ok thanks !

Hi Everyone,I'm really disappointed with the galaxy note stock ICS rom.I'm running the N7000ZSLPF stock rom now.(wipe version + bootloader)Before this i used the N7000XXLPY stock rom.But non of them r that smooth.N if i use other launcher they lag too much.Both of them use too much Ram than GB.I though ICS will come with the ICS icon & theme like Galaxy Nexus but i was wrong.So what should i do now.Should i use a custom rom?Every one always suggest me to use custom rom.But is there any custom rom which is fully stable with Galaxy note?Which will be the best custom rom in terms of stability, performance, speed, u.i. for Galaxy note?Cause i don't want to get in trouble with my note by installing a custom rom.Custom rom will void my warranty ?
"Perfect" is not appear at real world, if u want stable, use custom rom that base on touchwiz, if u want speed, use custom rom base on aosp, if u want perfect, wait
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
"Custom rom will void my warranty ?"
Only if you send your device to service center with custom rom loaded, but you can always revert back to stock and "get back your warranty" whenever there's need.
Thank u both for the reply.Akiainavas what is Cyanogenmod 9 Nightly?Is it also a custom rom as i don't have any idea with it.N guys can u plz suggest me which custom rom i can use?
As i can see there r many custom roms out there such as -(Based on Official ICS) MIDTeam,Rocketrom,CM9 etc. Which will be good.
Best Custom Rom that I have seen till date is the Paranoid Android. I am never going back to stock after this rom. The functionality of this rom is superb.
Hi
I am looking for a ROM with the following qualities:
- Android 4.4
- SEMC UI
- for locked bootloader
- stable for everyday use
- good battery life
Is there any such ROM? Most 4.4 ROMs I can see here seem to be lacking the SEMC UI.
Regards,
Mike
By SEMC you mean stock sony kitkat ui? If so, give it a try to xperianze and repexpersis, you can find them in the development section.
No such ROM.

Hello.
- Ok
- No. You'll need to apply a theme on your own. However you'll require a theming engine. This engine was built in Cyanogenmod ROMs so most derivatives will have it as well.
- Ok
- Custom ROMs are deemed to be stable, but will never be perfectly stable. Nothing is actually stable in my perspective
- Simply no. Battery usage is very different compared to stock ROM. SURPRISE! Because it is not a stock ROM.
So for your queries, no there aren't any ROMs that matches your request, sorry.
However if you still want suggestions, I suggest Paranoid Android by NexusPrime or CM11 by bagyusz or CM11 weeklies by MrSteve555.
Thank you for the replies! Then I will stay at 4.3 (Master ROM V5), perhaps one day there will be a suitable KitKat ROM.

if you like the basic CM functionalities.
Regardless of that, testing multiple ROMs is recommended as that will give you a clearer outlook on what's better.

thanks, but i couldn't find any description about the omni rom
[email protected] :
thank you i will install that rom after i buy a new sd card in the next few days, bcuz now i have only 1gig sd card, and that rom forces you to have a big sd card, beceause it uses sd card as internal as a new feature , and i don't like that feature
My Opinion
Here's what I think about the different ROMs out there!
CM11 - Great support, lots of MODs, very stable. But tends to get laggy very soon.
AOSPA - Some great unique features, great Audio, better touch sensitivity ( All the @neXus PRIME ROMs have these features.
PAC - Loaded with all the goodness from all the ROMs, but had some random reboots but that might be my problem only!
OMNI - The ROM which is the most close to AOSP. Almost the pure android experience.
AICP - Loaded with features and honestly, overloaded. Gets very laggy, really soon.
AOKP - I'm not an AOKP lover, had random problems with AOKP.
Vanir - 4.4.2 version was absolutely brilliant. It was THE fastest and most responsive ROM out there. With 4.4.4 came lots of bugs.
CM 11s - A very nice ROM. Stable and good battery life upto an extent.
Stock Based - They are really stable and provides improved functionality over the Stock FWs. But no KitKat love for them!
Out of all these I personally prefer the OMNI ROM.
P.S : All these are my opinions and may NOT be how the ROM works out for others. I respect all the developers who worked behind them
I know that this is a ridiculous request since all of you are contributing here without any gains, and no body can demand something to be done for free!
But, I was wondering, with so much development going on over CM based ROMs for Moto X, why is there no ROM that is being developed by changing the stock rom?
I guess it is because the source for the stock ROM is unavailable, but wouldn't there be other ways to mod the ROM? I want to know this because I feel the performance of ROMs available here (on Moto X Development forum) is far better than the stock ROM. However, I love the active display and Moto Voice features of stock.
I tried using xposed and got most of the features (IME keys,RAM bar,lockscreen mods, clear all in recents, etc.) on stock 5.1, but my phone is too slow, compared to from when I was using Carbon/AICP/Resurrection ROMs (Thanks to those devs again).
Once the sources are available for 5.1 modding will happen.
5.1 was just released be patient but if you want a modded rom with stock features, try eclipse 4.4.4

Stock rom, rooted, custom recovery and xposed framework do a great job!
Needed Custom rom go for cm 12.1 stable with new themes (there is android n preview theme also ).
if needed fast and cm like rom then use slim rom 5.1.1 rom for honami xperia z1
if needed camera tweaks and advantages of sony apps go for stock rom
and want some new features on stock rom then go with xposed frameworks and custom mods
