Database Develop

Why is so little Kit Kat custom ROM s here

We are witnessing the great activities of developers and the appearance of more custom ROMs in the last time. All of them are lolipop custom roms and I wonder why there is so little KK cusom ROM (only Microkat ). It would be nice if some of the developers made a decent kk custom rom, because I think kk is much more appropriate for our phone. What do you think?

I don't think KK is more appropriate for our phone.

The memory issue is quite annoying. i cant even play music while browsing the web in google chrome.
And the main reason actually is because the rollout of lollipop. I bet most people are interested in the newest version of Android then a older one.

Why do You think so? Yes , RAM managment in Kitkat is bad , but I found that in lollipop is even worse.
With all other bugs from lollipom I think that is KK better option for now.
I still hope we will see CM 11 or PA based on KK for our device.

Sure we don't get much KK roms. I'm not interested in porting & fixing CM11 so I guess no one will do it XD

I have received the new lollipop update today, and I must say that it's faster and smoother than kitkat. Oh and battery live is also better.

It's not smoother and faster on my phone. Lollipop is just as smooth and fast on my Moto as KtKat was.

A LOT of the poor performance issues of Lollipop can be cured by either a clean flash or factory reset
- can be a pain to reload stuff but can improve Lollipop no end
- battery use can be masked by clean flash - no apps etc
- once you load everything you had on kitkat it is the same or worse, depends on usage.
Lollipop use ART , Kitkat uses DALVIK, in time DALVIK will be phased out or not supported by apps

Yes i know , and thank You for hard work on CM 12.
If I had enough knowledge to do it myself it would be nice.
But who knows, hope dies last.

[q] best custom rom for xt1068

after flashing all the custom ROMs in my XT1068 I found that the Titan Prime from Shawn is the most stable and user friendly ROM out there.
Now if there is any other ROM which you think is better than TITAN PRIME please mention it in the comments because im really looking for a stable and bug free ROM for this device.

atm the best is kk stock+xposed for performance stability and personalization

yes i agree but there are a lot of features in lollipop which is find really useful and these are missing on kk. for example guest mode screen pinning etc

CM11 is the best ROM for me and I use it as a daily driver (no custom kernel). Multitasking is good, 10+ apps running and switching between them without reloading.
CM12 would be my daily driver, but multitasking is awful with or without any of the custom kernels. The best I could manage in CM12 was 5-, not always, with Unnamed kernel.
Stock based ROMs give me tethering problems with my provider, none of the CM ones.
So, CM11 for me.

I face no issues, I am very satisfied, it's very snappy, it has great multitasking.
GPS is great, locks in 2 secs indoors, 3m accuracy (modemst1/modemst2 wiped as suggested in instructions)

Nexus 6 ROM Recommendations

I'm getting the Nexus 6 from Verzion next week. I'm looking for recommendations for good 5.1 ROMs that can use VoLTE and is good for Verizon. I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 and have only been using TouchWiz ROMs, so I'm unfamiliar with the AOSP ROMs. How are the CM 12.1 Nightlies? Are there any other ROMs I should try besides that?

try any rom, they are all good. but.. stay away from cm!

nothing really, except it being a personal preference never to run it :angel:

I used to use CM on my DROID RAZR HD and I loved it.

Numero uno rom in my opinion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3148214

ive been rocking cyanideL as my daily for two or more months now. mainly because it has the best nav bar editor (havent tried new one from bliss). was flashing different roms twice a week before that. thats if you are okay with cm based. other cm based roms with that navbar editor are exodus (the creator of the navbar editor in question) and fusion. thing about cm, be careful about encryption being forced, and compatability with some kernals.
if you go aosp, chroma is good, pure nexus is too. if you want stock based, i like N6Shamu, which has gravitybox as an installation option in the aroma installer. TraSmooth is stock based with a lot of optimizations, and some of the m preview stuff.
another option is the m preview stock based roms. jdx is an m preview stock based rom that is good at keeping up with those previews.
if you are on t mobile and need wifi/lte calling, there are only a handful that have ironed that all out.

Thanks! I'm on Verizon. Any idea if any of those ROMs are good with VoLTE?

im on att, so i dont have any nifty stuff in regards to hd calling. volte is definatly one of those things you can search for in the rom thread to see problems/solutions and if it is a feature of the rom (via features list)

Stock Kitkat ROM ?

I am going to go one step further back and say stock Jellybean ROM. No kidding.
I have 2 1053-s - one I bought new (my "daily driver") and never upgraded from JB (when KK was released initially a lot of people complained about battery life and other issues). Another I bought used and it already had KK. I used the one with KK extensively for a week druing vacation and observed KK is less stable - had WiFi drop offs when downloading offline maps, also complete phone freezes when camera app was working. I never had these kind of problems (or any problems for that matter) with JB.
As for Lollipop - just see how long the thread "how to downgrade from Lollipop" is.

verizon wise, best rom is either kyrptonite 4.4.4(some prefer eclipse, both similar) or Modded LP 1060, both are flawless, at least for me.

Stock Kit Kat because it never gave me any headache.
5.1 only introduced bugs and bad battery.
I would say CM 12.1 is a close second, it has some cool features and the Ambient Display is an actual improvement over Moto Display, waving my hand over the screen to see the time is the best feature.

Please recommend a stable and cool 7.1.X rom for T-mobile G4

Hi,
I have been using Lineage OS nightly build for a while, but I frequently encounter overheat problem (screen becomes very hot for games or unknown reasons) and battery drains very quickly.
I would like to try a more stable and cool ROM based on 7.1.X. I also need multi-user enabled, which is the main reason I stay away from LG stock ROM.
Really appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks

I use the g5 port and is working great plus it have multiuser

Just to let you know is stock Rom and yes it is rooted. But I use SuperSU instead of magisk

Unfortunately, as it stands right now finding "stable" 7.1.x ROMs without missing features is rather difficult. Any LineageOS derived build is going to be having missing features, or occasional bugs such as the following due to lack of official Nougat drivers.
Lack of Stock Camera Quality
Wi-Fi Calling
Occasional Bluetooth issues
The list could go on, but if I were to recommend a 7.1.x ROM go ahead and try either Resurrection Remix or Dirty Unicorn I believe both of them have multiuser and decent battery. Flash one of them and use the Llama Sweet Kernel. They are the only two ROM's I've had any luck on 7.1.x thus far. LG is supposedly releasing Nougat later this year for the G4 which should fix most of the issues. Good luck.
Official Resurrection Remix
Tylerdurden's Unofficial Resurrection Remix
Gibbnich's Unofficial Dirty Unicorn

Eruisi,
I don't wish to disagree with the former comments, but both my AOKP 7.1.2 and SlimRoms 7.1.2 are here in this forum, and both work great.
I have had no Bluetooth or other issues, nor have any of my users reported any issues like that.
The camera is not the stock camera app from LG, so if you are really big into your camera, you may wish to stick with stock ROMs. However, using open camera my photos come out great!
I highly recommend that you give one or both of these a try! If you want features upon features, try AOKP, of you want streamlined and simple, give SlimRoms a shot.
Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone. I will try the ROMs suggested by you folks.
I would hope there is a stock ROM rooted with multi-user enabled. I do feel stock ROM has better camera driver.

What you mean multi-user enable? Do you mean this? Because the stock LG g4 port have that

Yes, this is what I am looking for. How to get this stock LG G4 port? Is it MM based or Nogurt based?

Is MM base but since is a UX5 port it looks nicer then just our own stock. Try it is very nice, I highly recommend it specially from a guy that HATES Stock roms since the very first Android phone G1. If is not PURE AOSP base from Android then is no good to me and I like this one.

Did you try to add a new user for LG G5 Port ROM? I just installed this ROM on my H811 and tried to add a new user, but it shows "Deleting users, cannot add users. Try again later"
What the hell to show this function if it doesn't really work.

I'm on Nougat mate. I don't have a use for that option so I dunno if it works or not on that rom. Right now I'm on a new rom Nougat stock With G6 ported for h811 and is amazing. I will post later over the weekend.

Ok. I think the multi-user feature doesn't work in G5 port. Would you please try it in your new Nogate G5 port ROM.
I like all nice features in G5 port, but missing multe-user feature is a killer.
Thank you very much to bring these amazing ROMs.

Well. G5 port is actually @Astrako work mate I was linking to his OP. As for the G6 port he also is the guy to thank even I will port his port to H811. I should of been release the rom long ago but I'm just working on things to perfection.
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Did you try add a new user to G6 port? It takes 30sec to try I guess. If works, I will definitely wait for your port ROM.

For the time being I had to go back to lineageOS which has a stable multi-user feature.
Looks like both G5 or G6 port won't enable multi-user feature.
I also tried SlimRom which does have multi-user feature, but ROM itself not stable, e.g, Phone reboots when USB debug is enabled and USB cable is plugged.
I really hope G5/G6 port could enable multi-user. It runs very cool and stable.
Thanks
