Most unique/different ROM

Hey guys i'm looking for a rom that is unique and not just nova/trebucht/apex launcher. Something really unique and different. I'm currently trying out miui.

MIUI on the Nexus 7... that is just an upscaled version of the same UI that you get on every phone that MIUI supports.
Other ROMs are also a no-go if you want something different, because all of them more or less use the same UI as AOSP.
You could try Paranoid Android, but somehow it was not really appealing, at least not to me.

there is nothing that's themed differently or different at all? Getting bored of the same layout. Although I think ubuntu fir N7 mobile version is releasing tomorrow.

Honestly, as a ROM junkie, I've just stuck with stock since there isn't really much of a compelling reason to change. Maybe just try a different launcher? I admit, I've loved MIUI on a phone, but have no desire to use it on a tablet unless it gets tabletified.

AW: Most unique/different ROM
I'm also a little bit bored of all those same looking roms

Would be nice to get a ROM that was really different. Completely themed or laid out very unique, and done well. Fingers crossed.

Sense 4 sure would be beautiful on the Nexus 7, a dev friend of mine tired of the same look is working on some different stuff, maybe he will pull through with something kinda crazy.

Tablet ui is pretty nice. Saves screen space, make it look like it should have out the box.

Actually if you're looking for something kinda different, you could try Protos for the n7! It's really nice

I wasn't really seriously suggesting going to gb ...I know u wouldn't ....but he asked about unique looking roms .....and gb definitely had that.

Upgrade time - How's the CM experience?

Upgrade just came up and I was considering getting the One. Loved CM10 on my Epic Touch 4G and was curious what the experience was like on this device. The button configuration seems odd on this phone so I wanted to get people's thoughts. Also, is the camera as bad as some say?
Thanks in advance.

But the HTC one is riddled with QC issues and doesn't really improve much over the last Gen of phones. The next Gen has snapdragon 800, 3000 mAh batteries and whatnot. Plus, the 800s are really close. Like the G2 is already here.
The One isn't that good IMHO. The camera is overhyped really and the number of defects people are reporting make this phone worth skipping.

To stay on track with your question the CM experience is something I don't think someone in their right mind would recomend. Hell it has a tendency to burn up some phones and need replaced.

I agree if your sole decision is CM. Then wait. Cm was better on my gs3 than on here. It's pretty buggy and as has been said there are many reports of people's phones bricking cause of cm. To the quality control issue... I have had none, this phone has been great in that regard... But maybe I'm just lucky . In all honesty, overall this is the best phone I've ever owned. I don't think you'd go wrong with this phone.

My $0.02:
For the short while I was able to use CM, I wasn't exactly blown away. It was exactly the same as my GS2, but with better specs. There were no extra features or anything. It looked nice with Black Infinitum, but again, not really different from my old phone. There were some bugs, so...
And you do have to watch out for the max freq lock, which will burn up your phone as it sits.
EDIT: However, CM Nemesis is coming soon. I would still wait for for a new device with better specs, but hey, this is a fairly new device.

I really haven't had any issues since 10.1
Sent from my One using XDA Premium HD app

I used it for a week while on vacation and while it was nice to see a less bloated One with all the additional customization .. there were several issues and features that made me go back.
The biggest was GPS lock - I could not get a steady lock and if I did the radius was quite large, throwing me all over the map.
The phone actually seemed less responsive overall - including a slight delay when turning on the phone.
Missed the htc car app - google car and the ones from the market are not the same
and the IR - now it has only come in handy once, when my remote died; however, the remote can be fun at the bar

The HTCOne is a unique phone, the button layout is strange and is my biggest headache. Contrary to most posts above I like the CM experience on it better then sense, but this is my first (and only ever!) sense phone. I much prefer the AOSP experience. CM is lacking in a few places but core functionality is there and works good enough for me for daily use, for the record I'm on 10.2 20130819
Truthfully though I think I would wait for a new nexus device. I love the feel of the One in my hand but it's nothing amazing hardware wise.

You can always go GE and flash the CM mods.. GE is smooth as butter

You can not flash GE and flash CM mods. GE is senseless but still Sense based. You will mess up your phone if you did that

No major issues for everyday use. I've been running nightlies since I got the phone. Battery life is awesome and no random reboots.

Just a quick check guys.
Does the music still sound wonky? 10.1 would make my songs really quiet then normal then quiet etc. It drove me crazy.
Also, does the wake still take like a second? That was also a problem with 10.1.

[DISCUSSION][CM] Project Nemesis

So guys I don't know how many of you are CM fans, I know that since I had my first Droid X I kept hearing things about CM, as time passed I learned the beauty of flashing Roms to our loved phones and getting the best out of them, CM has always kept me amazed with all the improvements they have made to this beautiful platform, so changes very deep inside for us to know, but now there´s a new project, PROJECT NEMESIS, I've been waiting for its release like a kid waiting for christmas :laugh: , my hopes are very high and I´d like to hear your ideas of what all this could be! :fingers-crossed:

Good luck with that. The market share for 'cyanogen messaging' would be very slim. Chances of meeting someone with that service would be slim.
It would idealistically have to be a app within its own similar to Kik or WhatsApp.

as far as im concerned CM sucks big time. supporting too many devices right now. which really puts a halt to developing new apps/ideas or introducing new freatures.

Really? They just released focal and voice+ and now they're doing cm account to find or lock a lost phone. Those apps/ideas seem pretty new. Plus color and gamma settings. What more do you want?

I really wish that we get Zoe Mode like camera functionality in camera. That's really a killer feature...

Quick question about TV out and 4.3 roms.

Looks like I am going to get my note back from Mrs finbaar whiles he gets my N4. I have been in the world of Nexus for 13 months so the only roms that interest me are aosp based as I think I would faint if I had to use TouchWiz. So my question is is the TV out function working on the 4.3 roms. I am sure I read in one thread that this was unsupported but I can't find that now. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Unsupported and there is no chance of it being supported. Also, you may be a bit shocked with the Note and AOSP

Ah great. Things are to stable in Nexus land anyway.

S5 General is Dead :(

I'm sorry but has gotta be the most boring forum I ever encountered since being on XDA.
It just dead!!!! it either nobody got nothing to talk about, or the S5 has been a poor seller, all the other Galaxy forums on XDA are alot more active than this place, even the S4 one.
Or is there another reason why nobody bothering to post much these days?

Cause XDA has lost its touch. S5 is great but I have stopped development on phones like most devs have. XDA is boring. /My Opinion

Maybe it's just such a great phone, easy to root, and with Xposed modules, you don't need anything else. Battery life and performance are great, the OS keeps improving.
Perhaps people are realizing that there is more to life than caring about minuscule incremental upgrades to your phone.

+1. Last few months I don't even change ROMs. No need.

Xposed & NOVA = perfect phone

Nothing more to add. Still using stock firmware, no need to change that untill stable CM or Google Play Edition firmware will show up. Untill then it's perfect as it is with towelroot.

I can agree with all above. Rooted and Xposed. So far so good. Cyanogen or Google play edition would be nice , but until then no worries.

Xposed + wanam + TouchWiz Xposed + Nova + Google everywhere = amazing everything

I'm just learning. Being new it's a fine line to actively contribute whilst trying to avoid getting 'search forum' to everything you post.
I can say I've learned vast -- incredibly vast -- amounts in my short time here. Been anxiously waiting my first rom flash. Had to get SD card (im new to smartphones also) but then my charge flap broke so now i need to take it in for a fix. Having towelroot only, and just started tinkering with nova & themer today.

I did not want to buy the S5 to be honest but I am glad I did. Great phone with zero lags an good battery life. No complaints so far ?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

to be honest i think most of the rom devs want the gps and camera errors to be fixed, then well get aokp pa and cm

Maybe because everyone already has experience in XDA so most problems are solved

And the fact a new phone is pushed out almost every month?

XtreStolite works perfect,really amazing rom+nova and of course xposed give me a really smooth experience and almost 3 days battery power,couldnt be happier with this phone

It is summer so there is not as much activity.
And we have a perfect root method and there are some good custom ROMs for TW and some kernels that are very good for modding and tweaking. We got pretty much what we need until the camera and gps issues is fixed for some custom roms, there is not too much to talk about right now. So the activity is not as high. Come up with some interesting topics if you feel there is something missing in SGS5 General!
