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
I have had had several "custom rom flash addictions" to various android models.
I have not been flashing on my Xperia Z1 since i have always have had a feeling there is a bigger risk of breaking the phone.
How big of a difference does a custom rom for the Xperia Z1 make?
Does it get alot smoother and faster?

most custom roms will make your device faster and more smooth. There are two sorts of custom roms: Stock based and AOSP Based.
Stock based custom roms are only roms with a modified sony firmware and some extra functions and so on.
AOSP based custom roms (like cyanogenmod) are based on the google AOSP and this roms have nothing in common with the stock sony software.
Roms like cyanogenmod are faster than stock sony android and will give you the possibility to personalize your rom. you can change they way it looks like and also you can tweak your rom with cpu settings and so on. But you will get less battery life than with stock sony android.
P.S. there are many tutorials to flash custom roms, search in honami section and if you follow the tutorials observantly you wont brick your device

The biggest problem of CM and other non-stock based roms is the camera.You lose so much functionality like 4K video, 120fps slo-mo, burst shot and mostly picture quality.But their advantage is the speed, looks and functionality(except camera).
I hope the new lollipop update gets the new camera API.That will change everything(hopefully).

@mo120697 : I got that from ur previous post . I was just asking y this is so . Since AOSP has less (none) bloat and none of the sony services and apps , shouldn't it be more battery friendly ?

Logically yes, but in fact Sony android has much better battery life, I don't know why..
Hi guys, i have searched for quite some time around here, i'm glad to see that development for this device is well on high gear, but i'd like to know, Are any of the many custom kernels here, compatible with using MIUI? (V6, 4.4.4)
I like CM, used it for a long time on other devices, i like PA even more, but on this case, i prefer using MIUI, i like the concept, i like the features, and the portuguese MIUI team does a great job on debloating it and optimizing some things (like the GPS).
But on the other hand, i really would like to be able to tinker with the kernel settings, although the stock one lets you change a couple of things out-of-the-box...
Thank you in advance.

For now, kernels are only working on Lollipop, no version for MIUI but @audahadi was workin for a version of his ported Franco Kernel for MIUI but he has some problems with wifi, it isn't working
Any news for custom stock kernel ?
yes it is,
it xcelerate kernel. compatible with miui v6 & v7.
xcelerate kernel for mi3 ?
Do you have a link? Please
You can give this Amateratsu Kernel a shot. It features "Double Tap to Wake".
I've searched and I've seen other posts with no responses. So whats your favorite custom ROM and why? I've tried a few but I can't seem to put my finger on the one I like the best and wanted to see what other people were enjoying about different ROMs. Sorry if this post isn't allowed.
Yes this kind of post isnt allowed
We cant say which rom is bad or good or favorite....
Everyone has their own taste nd preference..
All roms there are stable... you should try all the roms...
Nd btw if u are not satisfied with any of the rom....
Just go back to stock!
favourite mostly stable rom = STOCK SAMSUNG.
its actually depend on you. you as the user. you use the phone. you choose. i always end up with stock since all the function i want work on stock.
I think all Samsung based roms suck, because Samsung managed to make the Android experience worse than stock in every way except the camera.
The only N7 based rom which is stable and mostly works is the Nemesis rom with the Nemesis kernel additionally flashed.
Install greenified, forced doze and xposed to give it reasonable battery life.
i did try many ROMS
but evetually i still go back to stock for 99.9% stability and everything "JUST WORKS"
custom rom is good. dont get me wrong, love it especially when it comes to features.
but for me eventually my requirement is stability.. so sometimes i just play around with a custom ROM for like 1-2 weeks then go back to stock
only flash the ROMS that i felt is worth trying

I have to agree with Edan.
Stock is my choice as Samsung have taken all features into consideration.
There are other ways I prefer to customize such as having lauchers.
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.

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 !
