Hope this will help

In my opinion Cyanogenmod 12.1 is the best

Personally if I had to use a ROM other than Stock LP, it would be Radium Redefined (which is based on stock lollipop 5.0.2 ROM)

[Dup question] Is there a big alert concern on using such old ROM (stock or not)?

I've been using Stock ROM for all this time (ever now) and I've not once never felt like my security was at risk. If you don't visit shady websites or install shady packages (like myself) I don't see why you would ever have to worry about such things. Also custom ROMs are never going to be as stable as Stock, that's just a fact at this point.

Stock LP rooted? Debloated? With Xposed? I am thinking of going back to stock too.

Hey. I downloaded RaR 1.2 and tried flashing it through twrp but got error 7 assert failed Mount ext4 emmc something. I don't remember. Then I removed those assert lines and flashed again and is was successful. But when I flashed gapps it gave me error 20 saying the gapps are for 5.0 and your ROM's android is 5.0.x. So I proceeded without gapps but the ROM was not booting. Just stuck on boot animation. I waited almost half hour. Please help me.

[Q] i9305 stock rom without boat ware?

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!

Is it useful to use a custom kernel on a MIUI ROM ?

Hi, due to multiple problems on Lollipop ROMs on MI3, I finally came back to the latest sMIUI ROM.
I know that the new Kernels can be applied to KitKat ROMs, but is there benefits for it? I mean, will it bring back the 5.x problems like HDR not working, etc?
And more technically, how can those Kernels are finally able to work on both 4.4 and 5.1 now, and not from the beginning?
Thank you in advance.

Ah, good news! But HDR isn't the reason I left Lollipop, I kept having network and touchscreen problems :
- Impossible to send or receive MMS (no matter what APN or setting I use)
- Impossible to access to some services or update applications data over 3G (couldn't download a file on Google Drive, couldn't see a video on YouTube, couldn'd refresh posts on 9gag...)
- And sometimes, the touchscreen was buggy, it didn't responded well, so I had to lock-unlock the phone a few times before it start working properly
So for now I'll stay on MIUI KitKat, but I would like to tweak it so it will be at its best

First thing is you cannot use a lp kernel in kitkat rom such as miui and smiui. But you can use custom kernels like GOD'S KERNEL, MOSHI etc. Search the forum.

There's stock Marshmallow for the XT1225, not yet for the XT1254. Verizon has not released it yet, even though I'm sure it's ready. Having said that, @iiWoodstocK on Verizon used Marshmallow stock for the XT1225 on his XT1254. Of course, he had to flash the Verizon radio. Contact him for more information.

My "ROM" has tethering. I'm currently in the process of attempting to deodex the ROM and repack the system.img, then I need to see if Moto Display is still buggy.
Tethering is really easy, it's nothing more than a build.prop edit:

Ive been trying to check out mokee, but cant get it to flash for some reason (its OP is working with me on its forum). looked at bliss, but comments made it sound kinda buggy.

Which ROM for most settings and customizability?

Which ROM should I install if I want the most amount of settings and ways to customize things?
Some additional thoughts...
Does one even need a custom ROM these days, or can most things be changed using "Xposed installer"?
Are there any drawbacks using a custom ROM?
1. RR is a good choice IMO.
2. More features to play with. Themes. More updates.
3. Xposed doesn't exist on Nougat.
4. Nope except not be able to use full stock features. Stability? It depends on the ROMs and the maturity of the Android version.

Oxygen OS apps (but you can get a port version for Camera and Gallery)
Dark UI (but you can flash a ROM supporting Substratum)
...
I don't remember OOS well and since I have a preference for custom ROMs over stock firmware I can't give you many reasons to stay on OOS. If you want to have the latest Android version, some day you will have flash a custom ROM.

I've spent ten minutes trying to figure out which one is the official (or best) version of Resurrection Remix. Can you point me in the right way?
The one in your signature says it has a pirate-icon if you install pirate stuff. And while I may not do that, I still don't like the idea of that.
So which RR would you recommend?

Both versions have this anti piracy measure I think.
I recommend the unofficial builds since I'm using them ?
It has extra features such as delta updates, signature spoofing support,... and the dev is always available to help and answer our questions.

You could have just flashed the ROM days ago, and have decided yourself; instead of waiting for others to dictate what you will or will not like. And just because someone recommends it, doesn't mean you will even like it.

Agreed nicesoni ash has the best build in my opinion and the dev is great and very supportive of the rom and it's users. And there are lots of unofficial builds for nicesonis rom but you only need to install the latest one.

Question about HTC One M7 and Nougut

Hi,
I am newbie who want to reinstall Android on my HTC One M7, my actually version is 5.0.2. Why I want to do it? Because my phone can lagging and it don't have warranty anymore, I just want to make it working faster and looking better. This is what I want to install is Android 7.X (Nougat).
This is why I have a few questions to you:
1. What is a risk when I am doing reinstall of my OS? If I am using some image from web should I be aware of viruses?
2. If I install 6.X or 7.X android version on my M7, is it gonna work better or at least stable just like lolipop did?
3. The last, the most important question for me, how can I do it? I am not sure which tutorial could help me to make that reinstalation.
I would be really thankful for your time.
1. The only risk is that there will be some instability depending on the ROM that you use. This of course varies. Every ROM is virus fee, so don't worry about that!
2. Like I said above, Stability varies on the ROM and how often it gets updated and tackles on bugs. You'll get the main features (+ even more) on the Marshmallow or Lolipop ROM that you pick.
3. There's a lot of process that goes to it. You need an unlocked Bootloader, TWRP, and other things. I recommend starting off here:

Thanks for answer! When I did it and my bootloader is unlocked now, what's next step? I am not really sure which OS I want to use... I just want to have clean, safe and stable OS in my phone... Do you think Marshmallow or Nougat gonna be fine?
Somebodys here could tell me which OS you are using on your HTC One M7? And if is it good or not?

Nope my M7 was S-ON. I guess the only way to get the S-OFF is paying $25 for the sunshine unlock

Hi mates,
My M7 is Android 4.4.3 ROM Viper One and finally i want going to Android 7.1.
My phone is S-Off, the TWRP is update, Bootloader unlocked and i want install a very simple and easy ROM, i saw this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-0-t3509485
What do you thing about "Resurrection Remix" vs "AICP 12.1"..?
What other things I have to take a look before install any ROM..? (i mean, go from OS 4.4.3 to OS 7.1, I miss something..?)
How I make a backup the actuall ROM just in case..?
Note: I never install any ROM, the actuall ROM was installed by a friend
Thank you for your comments

Backup your current rom in TWRP, make a full wipe (system, cache, dalvik cache, data) and flash the rom and then gapps

And use AICP. I heard it's really stable, will jump ship on that in some days. Basically Full Wipe, Flash ROM then OpenGapps 7.1.2 then you should be good. :good:

Finally.. I done..!
I install the ROM AICP - 12.1. - N 7.1.1 Official Nightly ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-aicp-12-1-n-7-1-1-official-nightly-t3537595 ) .
My option one was "Resurrection Remix" but i got issues, fails and gone wrong, then move to install "AICP 12.1" and gone well.
Thanks to all for support me..!!
