Hi,
Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think

I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try
Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.
ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
I agree..
I agree, too.
Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:
Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time
If you do this already nevermind
But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...
And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me )
Hope I could help
Hi there folks!!
This phone dropped on my hands today from a friend of mine you is a excluded in this matters of customizing droid's...
So what I need to know it's the stuff that i should use to root it, like recovery and such, and the best overall rom to put in the phone. IF there is kitkat stable even better... If not Jelly Bean it is.
I'm not an expert, but i workaround pretty well, but i dropped on this forum today, and with so much stuff i don't know where need to look, and don't have the time to read it all.
So please, have some kind of goodness on me.

If none of the current data ia needed, then a nice clean full format to the New bootloader would be a good choice.
Use the AIO tool in the Developers section to format the phone to default new bootloader. you can follow the choices to install recovery, and download your choice of Rom.
The most stable and fully featured out of the newer roms are only the CM 10.1 roms. anything made later have camera and bluetooth issues.
Pengus has his own, Look ma no hands. its an excellent rom. along with his M1 kernel. its the latest you'll get to fully stable.
If you'd like more features, Tonyp made a T-build version 5 currently. use the same kernel from pengus again M1. and give that a go if you like customizing a bit more.
there are later roms. and they are all great, but they are still in development, with many bugs still to really work out.
you can also go Stock and try out the few very well made custom stock roms i believe there are 3 different dev's that have done work on ICS and did an excellent job of it.
Or you can stay on the old boot loader, and stick with GB if you really want to stretch out the battery life, and have every feature working.
the first few pages of the dev section would have everything I've just mentioned. but you could also use the Search for anything your having trouble with.
PM me also if you need more detailed assistance.

New battery can do miracles. LG stock battery is highly recommended.
IS there any good roms for this phone seriously ?
every rom i try has alot of bugs and problems and devs release updates every 6 months and most of them drop the development for the phone anyway
i cant find a single rom that combines performance with battery without sacrificing the LED notification abilities !!!
I've seen comments saying "the best rom" in every rom OP
If 'you' don't like it, it's your view. But don't ask for the best rom as its a violation of xda rules. I hope you get my point and I'm not being rude.
There are many great roms out there, try them for a week or so and then see what's good and what's not, help the dev by reviewing it honestly(not being biased like 'this rom is nothing like xyz rom') this way the dev will help you get a better rom.

First off - respect others work. Everyone puts a lot of effort in the ROMs.
1. The ROMs for SP are nearly bugless, only stock based ROMs have stock Sony bugs.
2. Of course - updates are released every 6 months - how is that possible if PA, AOKP, PAC, FXP CM are weekly-built, and we also have daily-built CM nightlies. Also who dropped support for a ROM? Last time it happened for OmniROM. After that no one dropped ROM support.
3. All ROMs for SP are nearly on par when it comes to battery and performance.
4. You can get the illumination bar features with Illumination Reciever + Illumination Bar Notification apps
5. Why do you put these exclamation marks in your sentences?
try PA or PAC, smooth,fast , great battery life and stable
2 words: thread reported
please respect the work of others and be patient
Also according to the XDA Rules asking for "What is the best ROM" is not allowed here
~~ Regards
hahahahaha you people are being aggressive and rude and i didnt say the "Best" anywhere i said a good rom
and no there are no good roms and i have used every single rom in the development thread and i know every developer and because i respect them i didnt mention their names but i know everyone who doesnt release a single update and leaves the rom to rot or just drops the whole development
everyone is just sensetive when it comes to respecting developers

5. because i can and its not against any rules !!!!!
4. Most of the applications doesnt work when you are on AOSP or CM they only work on stock
3. there are roms that are just slow like stocks and roms that eat battery like miui and aosp and cm
2. I Dont see any updates from any of these
1. Stock roms are the only thing we can call decent other than that its just an FC Festive

4. Okay, I can agree, but it's proprietary Sony technology so it can't really be used in CM without weird tricks.
3.Stock is pretty fast starting from .205 update. Eat battery? It depends on that how you flash the ROM, I can easily get 3-4+ hours screen on time.
2. I won't even comment about that, your ignorance totally killed me.
1.FC Festive? Custom ROMs based on AOSP are way stabler than stock ROMs.

then you didnt tried them the only stable custom rom is AOSP by vanir and it lacks the notification bar controll and the features
and please amuse me and tell me what is the right way to flash a rom other than flashing the kernel , wiping data and cache and dalvik, flashing the rom then reboot ?

existenZ is slow compared to every single rom out there and as i said we didnt get an upate in 3 months or more
i bet that ill find a developer who will comment right now saying that he does this for free and he has a life and he is busy and we should be gratefull
if you are busy and you are doing this for free then why you started it from the beginning ?
just drop the project and delete your thread instead of making us FC everyday and sink in bugs
@aliiahmed.20
I tried AOKP, PAC, PA, CM10.2, CM11, Stock odexed and deodexed, and also ExistenZ from the first version(based on 4.1.2). So yeah, I didn't try them.
Well, looking at your posts I thought you were dirty flashing from stock to CM11 and other ROMs, because with your issues it's impossible that you clean flashed everything.
And about the developers and their work - they can't do that, why? Because people like you will complain about no updates, bugs and no support...

Well, you wrote the correct steps earlier, but you didn't include formatting /system, so in the flashing process some files were left intact thanks by updater-script backuptool.
Anyway, it's not just about the correct or incorrect way. It just seems like a user mistake for me...
Let's end this discussion now, I don't want to fight with anyone about why custom ROMs on their phones perform worse than for happy majority.

Wiping battery stats is completely useless step.
Yes, happy majority on(for example) CM/PA/PAC that enjoys the smoothness, stability and battery life of these ROMs(ofc you will argue about that these ROMs have no updates, no support, ppor battery life and performance, but as I said, the discussion about that is ended).

I dont even know why we are wasting our time on you...Pls buy another phone,leave us alone.However, I doubt that even the note 3 will be good for you,as you are lost in space and time.eXistenz was updated 1/7/2014,that was 1 month and almost 2 weeks ago,not 3 months.The reason it wasnt updated is that there is no reason for it to be updated at the moment.The illusion that you put yourself in is false and broken,as only ROMs which arent complete need updates every day,or if they added new features.All stock based roms give you the latest SONY UI,and if you dont like them,SONY isnt the right company for you.None of us notice lag on it,or on any custom rom.I dont know what your complex brain expects from a phone this good.If you arent satisfied,try unlocking the bootloader,and installing FXPCM11,that rom is blazing fast,but the bootloader unlock is the price for it.I am honestly using NexusCM11,and it is fast and smooth as butter.try following install instructions completely,and the ROMs wont lag.You cant just pop a thread,with a goal of insulting people who do much more for their property than you.If you think they all suck,you can make one yourself,so we can admire your ambitions.But the bigger chance is simply that you can not be satisfied,even if someone gave you a xperia z2/galaxy s5/note 3 or the lg g3.You would always complain.But I have an idea!
Care only for performance?
Buy a Nokia phone from the previous century,those things dont lag,and can be used as weapons to smack someones head off.

As much as this might be a really broad topic, I'm new to flashing and trying out new ROM's so some suggestions would be nice for the Nexus 6? Just looking for some honest alternatives to Stock 5.1, wanting to stay on Stock Kernel if possible.
Stock kernel is pretty much the worst of them. Or should i say, least improved. If you're not interested in trying custom kernels just yet, use the one that comes with the custom ROMs you try
As for recommendations, what's everyone likes is different. Look in the development forums, read the features and try them.

What @rootSU said and;
As long as you have a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup of your stable stock build, just try as many roms as you feel like. You don't like it, just restore your backup and bam, 5 minutes your back to exactly where you were. You can even use multirom and boot into different roms. Grab one of the roms from the N6 dev forum and give it a spin, you will never go back! And for what its worth, Benzo is dang good.

rootSU and jackpollard have already covered the basics. However, I will make a recommendation because I know that's what you want - if you want to try a ROM that comes with a very nice kernel so you will not need to flash a custom kernel, I recommend trying Dirty Unicorns. It is my personal favorite ROM to run with the inline kernel (XDA speak for the kernel that comes with the ROM). As these guys said, when you flash a ROM, it generally comes with a kernel. When you hear people on a particular ROM talk about "stock kernel", they really mean the inline kernel that comes with the ROM, not the stock MTV whatever Google kernel. To get technical, I'm not using "inline kernel" correctly either - that actually means a kernel that's built with a ROM, but I'm not even gonna get into all that. I would recommend Dirty Unicorns if you wish to find a ROM that comes with a stock kernel installed that is absolutely awesome. If you prefer a lighter ROM with a more stock-like kernel, I recommend Chroma. Both are excellent ROMs with great kernels that come with them, and both provide kernels that are easy for a new user to learn to configure. It just depends on what you are looking for - you may end up hating both of those ROMs. Also, any ROM that uses leanKernel as its kernel is a good place to start - find one that has a feature list you like, leanKernel is the best starter kernel there is in my opinion. The best thing about it is it is built well enough to still suit the needs of way more advanced users while not intimidating even the newest of noobs in the slighest. So, play around and find what suits you, bu those are a few recommendations to get you started based on the kernels that come with the ROMs and what you are asking for. I hope it helps you out.
Took the plunge and installed the latest Chroma ROM build, safe to say I'm happier with it than stock!

Heres a fun note. Most ROMs have yet to make major kernel changes, this means that, as of now, CM, PA, Omni, and most if not all AOSP ROMs boot on the stock kernel.
Hello. I just bought my brand new Oneplus 3T. I came from the LG G4. I always used custom roms on my android phones. Unfortunately I have a job now and I don't have much time to play/test all these roms around here.
I'm not asking "the best rom" or "which is better" sort of things.
I just need an opinion for what should I begin with?
I would prefer some stock based rom.
As about the kernel I heard a lot about Franco's kernel but I saw that there is Boeffla kernel too.
Don't get me wrong, I just need something to start from because as I mentioned above I don't have much time to test and choose which is best for me.
Thank you!
I have tested many ROM's and I always come to the same conclusion. Stock is better. I recommend you to use stock OOS, root it and mod it as you wish. It's a powerful OS, without much bloatware (which can anyways be easily removed) and it offers a decent amount of customization. Of course, it's not as customizable as RR, but RR is also unstable and doesn't offer the same camera quality. In fact, most ROMs have a crappy camera. Except PA, apparently, which, of course, has other problems, like idle battery drain. You'll find something that won't make you happy in every rom you try. That was, at least, my experience. I have come to the conclusion that OOS does its job well.

This is exactly what I want. I don't want a LineageOS based rom or something like this.
I want a STOCK based rom.
But I don't know with which rom should I start because I saw that there are a few.
Hmm, I'd say freedomOS. It's a very stable ROM, "daily driver" material. It gives you the option to kinda debloat it when you flash the ROM
If you are looking for maximum battery with average use then go for RR with EX Kernel.
Yeah Freedom OS is kind to install because you don't have to do the usual stuff manually, but I've personnaly not noticed anything you can't get on stock OOS.
I'd advice to stay stock, and if later you still want to try some new things there will be plenty of mod material here
If you want something else...try Phoenix AEX ROM..
Really different experience...( EAS based )
Hi, when you are new with this phone I personally would recommend OxygenOpen Beta.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/coming-update-oos-based-7-1-t3564240
This Rom has everything you want, for me absolut stable and has all features you need for normal use. Worth to have a look.
I always had custom Roms on my earlier phones, but this stock Rom is the best I have ever seen. I have unlocked bootloader and rootet phone but since I have my phone (since May) I flashed this Rom and there is no reason for me to change it:angel:

Don't feel like you need to flash a custom ROM, just because you "always have". Try the stock OOS for a bit, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Stock OOS is very impressive. Very little bloat, really close to stock Android, nice customization options, and it just works. It's a big departure from the manufacturer "skins" applied by LG, Samsung, etc. which often (in my opinion) make too many changes, with little added value.
Although, I would suggest unlocking the bootloader now (instead of waiting) even if you do intend to try out the stock ROM for a while. Sinceit is a bit annoying having your data wiped (by unlocking the bootloader - it can't be avoided) and having to setup everything again, if you do decide to install a custom ROM, kernels, etc.
Stick to OOS. It's the best, really. Sultanxda's lineage is amazing for starters.
And Franco kernel on OOS is also "legendary"
Nevertheless, it's upto you to try and tell yourself what rom/kernel suits your needs.
Cheers!
That's the mistake you use custom roms. I always have stock rom on my every device
Stock open beta 10 with custom kernel(optional to remove dm verity flag) + magisk + safety net pass + adway + google assistant + dark mode.... thats it !
