Hello,
Just wanted some advise from you experts ,Is it worth flashing a custom rom on Nexus 6 right now considering lolipop has just been released and in its early stages
Thank you in advance
The Nexus 6 is a AOSP supported phone can be compiled via AOSP quite easily. No dirty hacks are needed, so custom ROMs and kernels will be stable out of the box.
Is it worth flashing? Its up to you. Its free, if you don't like it, you can always try another custom ROM or go back to stock.

I'm no expert but fairly experienced flasher. The answer is a resounding YES! Custom roms & kernels have already led to better battery life, faster performance, and elimination of most the blindingly white backgrounds in ui and gapps. And as new Android revisions are released, the devs are quick to incorporate them into their roms. For me, they are the main reason to own a Nexus 6.
thanx your post is tempting me to flash asap ... any suggestion for a stable ROM

All of them are stable as nexus is a aosp supported device. It all depends what you're looking for. Try them out.

Hey. I'm considering buying Mi 5, but I've been wondering about whether custom ROMs work just as well as stock in terms of performance, stability, photo, video and call quality. I have some pretty bad experiences with custom ROMs on LG G2, so that's why I'm asking.
None.
Thanks, vlad. Anyone else to confirm?

Wait. There are ROMs for this phone on XDA, so how can it be with a broken kernel? Unless you mean cracked.

currently most of them are based on Prebuild Xiaomi Kernel, our hard working devs are behind in fixing the broken kernel which was released my Xiaomi so within 2-3 months we may get stable custom roms

Aight, sry for being such a pain in the ass, but lemme ask one more time. The ROMs that are available now work, but are built on the prebuilt kernel, which doesn't allow us to have some neat features and that will be fixed in a few months?

its ok that you are asking ques as these forum are meant to be.
these custom roms are in beta stage & it will surely work as your daily driver except for few things like (camera doesnt take quality pics as does stock rom does, tap the home button will not take you to the home screen etc), yes the built on the prebuilt kernel doesn't allow us to have some neat features and currently devs are working on the kernels which is released by Xiaomi

Alright, that explains everything. Thank you!
I have been using my mi5 for a month and I am very satisfied with mui rom, it is stable, quick, and very good looking and has neat features, and miui keep updating their roms weekly and there is a clean version of their rom called Xiaomi.eu. For now, I don't see a reason for switching to CM roms. It is up to you anyway.
I am considering to install a custom ROM on my OP 3T. I do have one question. Cause I like oxygenOS but I just want to try something else, but when installed am I able to revert back?
Sadly,nowadays custom roms brings more harm than good.

that was a subjective question and this is an inappropriate response
it depends on what you want out of a ROM and what your stock ROM is like. if a stock ROM doesn't suit your needs, sometimes there is an appropriate ROM for you. i have rooted every samsung device i have ever had and improved my experience greatly.
when you find a good developer, custom ROMs can be better. stock is usually most stable

I wonder what you want out from a rom?we are using/talking about OOS and that's suit my needs(It has all that is missing in stock android).
Sorry but Samsung software is garbage.
Midomad said:
As Android is further refined, there are fewer and fewer reasons to use a custom ROM for most users,custom ROMs will always be relevant to entry-level/midrange smartphone users, or those who still use older devices, that aren't receiving official updates from OEMs anymore.

OOS seems to have everything i want in a ROM too.
that being said, i may find features that i want and don't have. my moto has pretty much everything i could want, but updating to a custom 7.1.1 increased the performance of my device so much that i can't imagine going back.
i haven't used any custom ROMs for OP3T yet, but from what i'm reading we have some really good devs and it is worth a shot. for instance, RR offers customization to such granularity that i will try it because that customization leaves me feeling like i actually own the device (basically the opposite of what apple does with their products)
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.
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.
Hey All, I'm new to Samsung Note 9 960f. I've been on Oneplus devices for thr last couple years with ease of root and ample kernel options. I've rooted my Note 9 with the stock OS. Now I'm looking for a decent kernel to go with the stock OS that can help with general tweaks. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Bump... Or in the Note 9 world people aren't really active on custom kernels?
Everyone has different preferences so there is no best...Take a look at the dev thread and try some custom stuff for yourself to see what works best for you.

I totally hear you, I was just asking for recommendations. I understand, in the kernel world there's no best. Just that I believe there's only one kernel listed & available in the exynos development thread Thanks!
BeastMode Kernel is a Beast!

How it fairs compared to stock?
Also on the topic, it's a bit sad how dead the development section of note 9 is. Lack of ROMs and total lack of kernels and a lot of time passed from release.

Definitely nice so far. I've felt a slight snappiness over stock (could be placebo). Also I was experiencing random reboots once / twice a day until this morning (on stock). This kernel has been stable so far, hoping to not experience those anymore. Btw, I haven't tweaked anything on the kernel yet except for anabling double tap to wake.
And I hear you, the development on this device is fairly dull. I guess users are happy with the phone as is, but rooting for me is a mandatory exercise. I've moved from a Oneplus 6 which was one of the most vibrant development communities.
Experience has been good decent far, but ofcourse with the usual set of gripes of adjusting on 8.1 from 9, etc.
Thanks!
Quick question. How do you know which kernel will work?
Running Team Exy Kings, current baseband N960FXXU2ZRL6.
Tried Beast and it boot-looped. Although, I did flash the zip in recovery. Do I need to use Odin?
Been a long time since I last played around with Samsung's.
