Are there any noticeable improvements (performance-wise) in the custom KitKat ROMs and the stock 4.1.2? I mean, are there any changes that you can feel and see, or is it just a new android version with fancy new features?
Also I'd wait until a stable version of OmniROM or CM gets built until I try to flash my device.

I have flashed CM nightlies, PA nightlies, 4.3 PAC and Omni ROM.. Each Rom has its own unique features and performance difference!..
But personally i would say, those has its own + and - things..
The last ROM i flashed 4.4.2 Dirt Unicorns Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633846 ) seemed Great to me.. Overall Nice features cheery picked from all ROMS but again its individual's preference in the end of the day and Every ROM is unique in its own way!
NOTE:- S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52357155 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!
I can't say I've been using any of the TouchWiz features, to be honest.
Just a few things I don't like on the stock ROM: The gallery takes a long time to open, opening the contacts takes a bit, and the animations sometimes glitch out (they just get skipped). And I'm locked to my current provider, but as my guarantee is at an end, I'm looking for a custom ROM to get out of the damn simlock, and maybe fix some other things as well.
So if you could just point out a few major differences (both performance wise, and feature wise) between CM, Omni and Dirt Unicorns, that'd be awesome. Of course I'd still wait for a stable version to come out.
I'm not really sure if I want a TW based ROM, not that I was using any of it's features. They always were a tad bit laggy on my phone. Mainly I'm looking for a ROM that'll run the smoothest, and that's the main thing, all eye-candy and fancy stuff is just icing on the cake. But I'll check out the ROMs you linked (the links seem to be wrong, tho). Thanks a lot!
I'll post another question in the same thread, so I don't have to open another one and clutter the board.
Are the OmniROM and CM nightlies stable? Also, is the only way to update CM to download and flash a new version of the OS, since there's that opendelta thing on Omni, where you can just download the update, just like real OTA?

They aren't stable but can be used as daily driver depending upon your usage. For Omnirom there is open delta, you can check for updates in settings>About Phone and it would only download the update not the whole rom.

I doubt 4.4 will ever be 100% stable, but god bless the cooks that keep coming up with updates, since for obvious reasons,
Samsung won't port past 4.1.2 officially.
Personally, for my usage, I've skipped everything past 4.1.2, as I can go weeks between reboots, lock ups, and with a custom
launcher (go launcher), my device is smooth and rock stable. It has a stock (DBT german international device) rom, rooted,
custom kernal just in case I forgot and didn't want to erase and endure the brick bug. Uninstalled the DBT bloat.
2+ years and still going strong.

The only working link you posted is the first one. The other three don't work. Try it for yourself
He already fixed it... but my quote remains to explain what happened
I guess due to the bug that messed up the camera the ROM development never took of for the Z1. Although i'm really happy with stock, I want Kitkat for the transparans.
So is it worth rooting for? Looking thru some of the ROMs many of them seem to have a lot of bugs...
I'm after Kitkat as said, improved battery life would be nice also. What ROMs would you guys recommend? Kernels?
Thanks.
not sure realy
we may get the z2 4.4 ports
we may get cm10/11 along with aokp, aosp and maybe miui
kernel wise, i have no idea
also custom roms will allways have bugs, unless we have that perfect dev
CM10/11 usualy are bugfree (besides them small bugs)
and aosp is usualy dependant on the developer
Try some roms out before setteling
i personaly prefer stock, (with removed bloatware)
Hi, I tried to find how to enable Incoming call notifications feature like in Note3 (when you are in app you just see small notification of incoming call instead of full screen one which sometimes shut down app).
Is any1 can help me to find or implement this in stock I9295 4.4 ROM.
Thank you
You cannot straight away enable it. You would require to replace the phone.apk with incallui.apk + a few other apk's and make several edits to systemui and frameworks to make it work.
If you are phone model is i9295 then you can flash the super WizCyan ROM which is stock 4.4.2 and having mostly S5 apps including this feature. You will get the link to the thread in my signature.
Thank you Jasonrr. That will be a lot easier if this will be available as a mod. Will wait maybe some1 will do mod with this.
Is google edition have this option?

What do you mean by google edition? there is no google edition ROM for our device (at least that I know of) and even the google edition will not have it as this is a samsung (phone app) feature. Though I remember this feature was available in one of the CM based ROM's, cannot recollect which one though.
If you are looking at an ASOP ROM then the Super WizCyan ROM is deodexed and totally debloated (can compare it with ASOP) with only the goodness of touchwiz (includes S5 Toolbox - floating app bar) with a separate aroma add-on installer for additional apps / features that were removed.
Yeah i looked at your ROM and is really interesting, maybe will try to put it on later. Did u benchmark your ROM vs stock 4.4.2?
And when i said google edition i was mean this one:

Or this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406177

Did a benchmark once with antutu and it gave a score of around 29000. Though I should mention that I am not much a fan of the benchmarks and have never tried before debloating and applying the MOD's (if that is what you meant by stock)
Oh yes, the one by Spegelius is the kitkat version, which is still work in progress (but seems quite stable now) and partly based on CM11, while the other is a jellybean port from S4
I'm a week already with your ROM, and I can say is very smooth, performance is better than stock ROM and I see 10-20% better battery life.
So if any1 looking for this feature I suggest to instal WizzCyan ROM developed by Jasonrr. You will never want to back to stock ROM again.
Does anyone know when cm13 will start rolling out for quark? I love this phone, and I think marsmallow would be amazing on it, especially with that huge battery.

I'm waiting on it, too. I thought about flashing CM 12.1, but I don't really know what i gain by doing that over unlocked w/ Xposed and the stock Moto features. Marshmallow, though, would make it worth it. Unless there's something i'm missing.

I've done rooted stock + xposed.
I've done custom ROM + xposed.
I've done custom ROM by itself.
Here's my opinion based on experience...
I did rooted stock + xposed only when there was no custom ROM available. It's the least preferable choice, due to security risk. Rooted stock + xposed is just a simulation of a good custom ROM. It's better than nothing -- but good custom ROMs are updated frequently to close malware holes. Both CM121. and Resurrection Remix have blocked the Stagefright risk. Does Motorola's current stock ROM block that risk? Are there Xposed modules that block that risk? That's just ONE security threat, there are many others since stock 5.1 ROM was released.
I've done custom ROM+ xposed, when there was one or two features an otherwise excellent ROM did not have -- or in one specific case where the ROM devs on purpose locked users into a specific choice where they previously gave user options. Installing xposed with that ROM let me use my phone the way I wanted, giving me choice back while still using that ROM. The problem with using xposed + custom ROMs is xposed modules are only guaranteed to work on AOSP ROMs that have not been heavily modified. There may be a conflict somewhere. I would only use it for one or two features you could not live without -- like in the example I gave, "clear all recents".
I've done custom ROM only. CM12.1 has been the first ROM where I didn't need xposed to add any functionality to the ROM I was using. Resurrection Remix actually has even more options... but I'm comfortable with CM12.1. (CM dev @Skrilax_CZ brought the first custom ROM and kernel for our Quarks, all others that followed are based his work -- especially the kernel.) I'm running CM12.1 on both my Quarks and have been for months. But the point is both Resurrection Remix and CM12.1 are way more advanced than Motorola stock 5.1, as they are both 5.1.1 + custom features.
NOTE: There really aren't any stock Moto features that are not replicated by custom ROMs. It may be called something else, but it's the same feature. Resurrection Remix even has the permissions integrated to let you to install MOST Moto apps if you absolutely need to have the same name. See this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/to-motorola-features-t3266646/page5
Plus, Resurrection Remix and even CM12.1 would have the security updates stock ROM does not.
I'm running CM12.1 plus Moto Camera because someone ported the Moto camera for CM users, and CM12.1 has all the other functionality I need (just different names).

Fair enough, I appreciate the input. I'm still pretty new to the custom ROM scene, so there's lots to learn. Why not, I'll give Resurrection Remix a try. Sounds like people love it, and I really like the Moto features so I'd want to keep those. Thanks for the advice
I honestly just like the "all my devices are the same" so all my devices that can run cm.
As for CM-13.0, there is still a lot to be done to get it to a daily driver state.
Hurts not having stock mm I'm guessing?

Not necessarily. That didn't stop @Skrilax_CZ from giving us Lollipop (March 2015) before Motorola released stock Lollipop for any of the Quarks. April 2015, Moto Turbo XT1225 was released with stock Lollipop 5.0.2 -- that was the first Quark with stock Lollipop from Motorola. @Skrilax_CZ beat them by using CM12.0 (Lollipop 5.0.2) with Kitkat 4.4.4 kernel, until Motorola publicly released Lollipop 5.0.2 kernel code. (Even though Motorola gave the Moto Turbo XT1225 5.0.2 in April 2015, they didn't release their Lollipop 5.0.2 kernel code publicly for devs to use until a few weeks later.)
Point is, we had Lollipop for Quark before Motorola gave Lollipop to Quark!
And we had CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) months (mid-April 2015) before Motorola finally gave just 5.1 to the Droid Turbo XT1254 in July 2015:

@Skrilax_CZ used CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) first with Motorola's 4.4.4 kernel code and then Motorola's 5.0.2 kernel code, until Motorola finally released Lollipop 5.1.x kernel code (September 2015).
Motorola never gave the other Quarks Lollipop 5.1 -- the Moto Turbo XT1225 and Moto Maxx XT1225 officially still have 5.02. and the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 (same identical device as the Droid Turbo XT1254, even the same FCC ID) is still "officially" stuck on Kitkat 4.4.4 -- unless you root and install custom Lollipop 5.1.1. ROM. But thanks to devs like @Skrilax_CZ we've had Lollipop 5.1.1 since April 2015!
So, NO, we do not have to wait for Motorola's slow roll-out of stock MM for our Quarks.

Same here. When I help friends and family, I install CM so I know exactly where all the settings and options are. Two LG G2 phones, a Nexus 7 tablet all owned by other friends or in-laws. My wife's and my Quark XT1225. For some reason I never rooted my wife's Nexus 9 (yet) -- but when I do, it will have CM.
I also install Nova launcher and set all those options the same all all devices (including non-rooted Nexus 9). My wife said, "But my tablet looks like my phone." I replied, "Exactly." That was my intention.
If something isn't acting right, I can quickly diagnose it without having to remember it's set up differently or has an entirely different ROM.
Quick question, out of ignorance, not wanting to seem unappreciating... Doesn't the nexus 6 have very similar hardware to the turbo? And does MM change that much from the framework of lollipop? I have no idea about rom building, but shouldn't the process be more... Seamless? I've done some building on Linux itself and have some idea of how an OS works, shouldn't drivers be separate from the framework itself? I don't mean this for the turbo exactly, or trying to minimize the awesome works skrillax has done, but I mean this in the more general non-UI-modified-vanilla-ROMs sense.

not that it is the right way to do things or anything less than half baked kanging, but
i sucessfully got carbon rom (shamu) to boot on my xt1254. several things *appeared* broken, the worst of which was a 180° flip on the screen that kept buttons (touch response) in a spot it is visually not. i tried to simply add the inverse mounted line from the cm12.1 build.prop but that didnt change anything. i used the cm12.1 kernel.
if any of you that actually have a clue have pointers, insight, or know what i need to do tp port shamu roms to the quark, im all ears

Few things to note and remember that the DPI for the two devices are different (may be the cause of the rotation bug or not) For Quark is 640 for Shamu I think is 560 (will have to verify) Also what changes did you make to the existing build prop (if any) to get the ROM to boot?

the dpi looked right, but you are correct that technically, 560 is not correct for the quark. ultimately, i didnt have to change anything to get it to boot aside from swapping in the cm12.1 boot.img. it seems like someone could make a script or kit to easily port shamu roms to the turbo if the issues (bluetooth, screen, audio, radios lol) were ironed out. probably easier to build something else than to fix existing roms for another (similar, yet widely different) device. i have no answer for the screen issue aside from adding the inverted display line to build.prop, which changed nothing. principally, the fact that it didnt just blackscreen and soft brick is more promising than i had expected still, i do not know a tenth of what to do, so it isnt gonna work for me anytime soon. lol.

Well for WiFi, Radios, Bluetooth, etc doesn't the drivers need to be added to the build.prop for the system to actually use them? If possible you could use a build.prop for the turbo in Carbon and just tailor it a bit, theoretically of course. I know it's more complicated than I'm making it sound.
lol. yes, but i get what you mean. in older roms (cm10, cm11) to port, youd copy/paste all of the set perm recursives. in cm12.1 i dont know where to start pulling things from. mind you, i know its not as simple as it used to be because of the new dat format. guess i should read up a bit. lol
My phone went mad and downloaded 6.80gb stuff from online wasting my this month data package so i decided to update newest Chroma (about year old) to 7.1.1 stock rom + TWRP recovery + Franco kernel. As usually that felt like downgrade.
- Battery not shown as percentage
- Camera sound
- No dark/black theme
Many other issues cames too even i have used phone like 30min so i thought no point change settings more than that. I dont understand how hard can it be google to even try. I first time used android when it was something like 2.2.2 and still wondering same issues what i did then. I went from iPhone 2g to android and still miss what apple had by then and what android does not have even now but no can do.
I am not heavy user of my phone. I just want basic things to work. Is there some custom rom which is like chroma. I liked how chroma was like allmost stock rom but with couple of custom settings but its no longer continued so is there any rom which have taken it spot?
Wow, you went from a custom ROM to stock and you are missing features? Who would've guessed that?!?!
Sorry for the sarcasm lol. Flash literally any custom ROM and you should have those features. Most, if not all, N ROMs have Substratum/OMS which will allow for dark themes. Battery percentage should also be included in every ROM. Camera sound should be in most ROMs. As for me I'm still on Resurrection Remix M + xposed framework, which in my opinion has the most customization out of any possible Nexus 6 setup in the world.
I would suggest Pure Nexus to you which in my opinion is the closest to Chroma. But make a Nandroid backup and flash a few until you see what you like. Also checkout this YouTube channel which is amazing. @glockman4519 does awesome ROM overview videos if you want to get a feeler for something before flashing it.

Do you refer to the camera shutter sound? If yes, you can't remove the sound on latest stock camera app...
I go with pure Nexus. Thanks for tip. I dont understand most of custom roms which are allways full of bugs. I never understanded either why there is need for over 10 diffrent rom for one device. Developers should work together and there would be only couple of very good roms to choose from but i know its hard people to work together so aint gonna happen
Running Pure Nexus on my wife's Shamu and on my angler. You shouldn't be disappointed. Just as you, i like simple cosmetic tweaks, dark themes, and it does the job. :good:
Resurrection Remix, @Neo style is my current dd. Every customization you could ever want is in there, but there are many great ROMs. PN is one that if you came from Chroma, you'll like. Nitrogen is good, et al. Just read the threads and give them a shot

I am not heavy user of my phone. I just want basic things to work. Is there some custom rom which is like chroma. I liked how chroma was like allmost stock rom but with couple of custom settings but its no longer continued so is there any rom which have taken it spot?

Sounds to me that you are going to like Pure Nexus since it has that Stock look and feel you want but with some extra and PN has extras.
The nice thing is you can pick and choose what features you want to run so you are in controle.
The rom does not come rooted because @BeansTown106 has decided that too many users are looking to pass the Safety Net Check for apps like Google Pay and some others that require your device be unaltered from stock. But if you want to run Substratum, you can either flash Chainfire's SuperSu sr3 v2.79 (or any systems suoerSu) or even flash Magisk Systems Root (I think it is up to v10 now) and that will allow for theming with Substratum.
That should get you pretty close, of not better than you g had with Chroma. PN is one of the most stable N roms out for the Nexus devices that I know. Another great rom would be SiX rom... But that is a whole nother story : )
I´ve been using Pure Nexus two days now. It seems usable but i dont know is it the 7.1.1 or the franco kernel or something like that but im having performance issues. Even clash of clans in own city does not work smoothly. Also camera shutter sound cannot be disabled. Otherwise i think all works as supposed to. When i installed rom i did clean install. I formated whole device including internal memory. Then i installed Pure nexus 7.1.1 + Full dynamic gapps + Franco newest kernel + Supersu
Anyone know whats the best kernel or do i just have to wait for updates on both rom and kernel?
EDIT: i will be now on pure nexus thread. Thanks for help.

The camera shutter sound can't be disabled with stock camera on 7.x Roms.
For performance issues, maybe try asking in The Rom/Kernel thread.
A combination you should test:
Crdroid rom, elementalx kernel, crystal tronik dark 12 substratum theme and latest beta nova launcher
gives me a lot of customizations, dark+blue look and good battery/performance
Works solid for me !
