[Q] Is there a ROM which retains the Sidekick UI?

Hello all,
I have a sidekick 4g with stock ROM.
I want to flash a custom ROM, but at the same time don't want to lose the Sidekick UI. I love the UI since its unique.
1) Are there ROMs which retain the Sidekick UI?
(Gingerclone looks similar to the Sidekick UI)
2) If majority answer is YES to the above question,
Are there ROMs which go for the Android Vanilla look (away from SKG UI)?
3) What are the gingerbread ROMs available?
4) Is there an ICS port available?
5) What are the pros and cons of having a custom ROM?
6) Will there be random reboots after installing custom ROMs?
Please help! (Basic questions, I know )

1) Several ROMs have the stock UI.
2) I've seen tons of custom themed ROMs, but I'm not sure about vanilla Android ones.
3) There are no Gingerbread ROMs available.
4) There are no Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs available.
5) The pros tend to be better stability and performance. Since we haven't been able to build a fully custom ROM from AOSP/CM/etc, we're limited to tweaking the stock ROM. In stock form our ROM is pretty buggy and loaded down with crap. Custom ROMs tidy it up.
6) Depends on the ROM.
I suggest MrKickstand's Back To The Basics. It retains the stock theme and speeds things up.

The current version has a few minor bugs, but you can fix them yourself. I noted a few of them and their solutions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22547395&postcount=80
Thank you so much, Jax! Now I'm game to try out Kickstand's TRON ROM! Tron theme is an added incentive!!

[Q] creating a JB cyanogenmod rom for ainol hero

I have an ainol hero and would like cyanogenmod on it, as no one has attempted it yet I thought I would come to xda to find out how to do it myself.
The guides I read on creating ROMs are more about customizing custom roms and having an 'almost' identical ROM to work with.
So my questions to xda developers is how would someone with little to no experience creating/modifying ROMs create a working JB cyanogenmod ROM.?
Would it be a case of getting the 'stock' JB cyanogenmod base ROM and essentially importing my current ROMs system files into it?

[Q] CM11 OC Kernel development in progress???

Hi all. I know the CM11 ROM is relatively new and all, but according to what I could find and my knowledge of over clock kernals on the HTC ONE X (AT&T-Evita), there is only two recent ones....? I tried both, seems one is for Sense based ROM's only and the other is JB (4.3). I loved the ElementalX, but recently stepped up to this KitKat build (which isn't supported by ElementalX Kernal) and am spoiled now. Not wanting to back up in version ROM's to achieve CPU/GPU OC, but the reason I even began getting into customizing these Androids was for overclocking purposes to see the max potential of these!! Just wanting to know if there are any OC Kernels in progress. Please and thank you!
I think you're a bit confused. If you're looking in our Android Development section for 4.4 kernels you're looking in the wrong place, you'll only find Sense kernels (like Elemental) there. Have you searched our Original Android Development section? That's where you'll find aosp ROMs, and of course the kernels that are compatible with them. There are already 4.4 kernels available.

All I've found is basic custom kernels for options and different software configurations. I've done so much searching my hairs turning gray!! Lol. I do have Root, S-Off, SuperCID, and now TWRP SeLinux for these 4.4 ROMs all thanks to you guys!
Anyway you could possibly send a link to a specific thread where I can find these kernels you speak of? Preferably the most popular and stable one...
BTW...awesome site! 5.4 million members for a reason!
Just read your signature and seen the "Torched KK Kernel" Trying it now. Thank you!!

What is the most stable/popular/well supported rom for TF300TG?

Hey guys sorry If this is in the wrong place, or an idiot faq.
I'm looking for the most stable or popular or well supported rom for a TF300TG. I understand that my mobile connection will not work on this model with custom roms.
I absolutely don't need any special features or speed or the latest version of Android, I just need simplicity and something slightly newer than 4.2.
I have seen Katkiss or perhaps Legacy as suggestions so far.
I haven't installed a custom rom since Cyanogenmod on a Desire HD six years ago. I'm also looking for recommendations for roms for that and a HTC Desire, but I'll go to their relevant boards of course.
