hi all long time lurker here, first i want to thank all the devs for their their time and effort that they have put in to bring out custom roms and tweaks for all of us. with that being said.
Ive flashed several roms to my infuse, but ive found i like stock the best. ive been running 2.3.6 for a while now, unrooted , plan jane and i like it. I want to root it and install a custom kernel but in the past ive found that doing so usually breaks the feature to watch flash videos. Are there any custom Kernels that allow flash to work and work well?
I dont want to go to a custom rom, their just to much for me, i just need the basic interface of the phone and the ability to watch videos to kill time.
I want a custom ker so i can add tweaks to optimize the performance of my device while not overcrowding it with garbage.
Any help pointing me in the proper direction is appreciated
Is it safe to install a new kernel (like matr1x 19.0) that's based on ICS on a gingerbread ROM like CM7?
I am asking because my friend's Nexus S is limited to the current ROM because it was given to her for free for a sociology study, so it's recording data. I'm looking to install a new kernel for overclocking, BLN, and so forth.
Thanks.
Is this a serious question?
No. It won't boot. Just leave it alone if it's a work phone. When the study is over you can put franco's old gb kernel on it.
Hi, I have a question. I want to know which one is better. Official rom or Cm10 rom ?
isn't any body to help me?
That depends on how you use your tablet. For most uses the stock ROM is what you want. It generally offers a more stable experience, but some of the extra features of Cyanogen may make it worth it.
One of the main reasons I use Cyanogen is to have a mostly AOSP system and remove manufacturer skins like Sense and TouchWiz. On the TF300 this isn't much of an issue as it's 90% vanilla android anyway. ASUS added a custom notification menu (that can be disabled to use the standard Android tablet menu), a custom control panel ("ASUS Customized Settings"), and several apps. Not much else.
CM10 also has a number of added features. A fairly big one is the theme manager which lets you skin the device, and there's a large number of added settings for customization. It also gives you root access and allows for overclocking, which are common features power users may want.
The best advice I can give: If you want the device to "just work", stick with stock. If the added CM10 features are enough to make you want to switch, give it a try. Just know that there's a lot of reading you need to do to install it without bricking your device.
Note that on the TF300 you cannot run CM10 if your device already the 4.1 Jellybean update. Also note that, if you're running ICS, you must unlock the device to install CM10, which voids your warranty and may not be something you really want to do.

As timothyb89 mentioned - If you updated to Asus official JB you can't have CM10, not yet - but xplowild is working on it, give it some time.
Installed OC Rom last night and was really satisfied with it, so I can strongly recommend that for you, if you are on JB bootloader.
In my opinion a Custom ROM is much smoother and faster than the stock rom, and the extra features is always a bonus

thanks, so what about another custom rom? such as blackbean?
Blackbean is one choice. Though it's appears to be based on CM so it probably won't run on the Jellybean bootloader quite yet.
A quick list of stock-based ROMs you could use arranged roughly in order of their popularity:
Hydro (Jellybean)
CleanROM - this is what I'm running right now
[email protected]
The Ultra Fast ROM
I personally like CleanROM as it seems to be more stable than the others I tried (mainly stock and Hydro). I had serious issues with random reboots, freezing, and WiFi death, and for the most part those are resolved in CleanROM. Your mileage may vary.
i installed clean rom, so can i i install cm10 rom?
I was wondering if there is a way to overclock the RMaxxHD now that it's updated to JB 4.1.1 and rooted. I wasn't interested in switching ROMs to CyanogenMod or anything else, just looking to do small mods (if possible) to increase the phone's performance and/or speed.
Anyone know if this is possible?
No way to over clock... We need a kernel that has support for it to be able to do that... I tried to use super charger with my phone... But never could get it running right... So I installed Pimp my rom app... It has a lot of tweaks built in... Try tinkering with that... It helped my device fluidity a lot
Hey guys, you who used stock 5.1 and custom ROMS that are having the latest Android version (5.1.1): what differences do you notice?
As we all know 5.1.1 is the latest version which fixes the memory leak, and Moto is still a version behind on 5.1.1: stock only is Android 5.1.
How would you compare stock to the latest Android version with the latest bugfixes and memory leak fix?
Would it be possible that Moto backported 5.1.1 fixes to stock 5.1?
Can a moderator edit "bases ROM's" to "5.1.1-based custom ROMS? I made a typo

It is more a question of CM12.1 vs Stock ROM.
With the Stock Motorola Lollipop you have (at least in theory) a bug free ROM, it will work in every situation and scenarios.
Where with a custom ROM you will have more experimental features, a more tunable kernel and settings (that can either improve or break a ROM) and, to be honest, more support as they update almost every week where Motorola go very slow.

Yeah that's true. I was just wondering if the 5.1 version still has the memory leak which was resolved in 5.1.1. Also, CM12 based roms don't support notification tickers anymore, not even through Xposed so that's a bit pity too. But they do have features you can't find in stock or Xposed.
Just wondering which ROM gives the best performance, CM12 or optimized stock or just plain AOSP without any tweaks.

I can't say if Motorola fix the Memory issue or not. I can say too that some CM12.1 ROMs did have memory issues even at 5.1.1 but i think all are gone now.
About performance, a custom ROM for sure will bring you that. I'm not a big fan of motorola "optimizations" for our devices, in fact i would say they don't do at all.
It all depends really, you could get stock 5.1 with moggy kernel v12 which is very smooth being a linaro based kernel with other optimizations as well. (I was running that earlier today)
But you could also get a custom ROM such as blisspop. Which is very very poorly developed on our device.
A ROM that the developer uses as a daily driver is likely to be better than stock. However you'll find ROMs such as BlissPop where the developer does not run the ROM on our device and merely syncs with latest sources and uploads the builds without testing them first.
Those ROMs are likely to provide worse performance and definitely less stability than stock. Unless of course you flash a custom kernel over it, but then you've just got a sugar coated turd. And nobody wants a turd.

YEs that is true, also there are some ROMs that are much more experimental then stable.
So a research would be need.
That being said, stock is always the safest bet but a nice custom ROM will be superior if he find one.
I'm personally very happy with Euphoria and the R35 version of the Optimus Kernel.
But you (@Sparubens ) would need to flash all the roms to find the one who fit you better, stock and non stock
It's worth considering the difference in Battery-life of Stock Firmware / ROMs in comparison to non-Stock custom ROMs. That could be an interesting thread.

I did flash almost every ROM here but there always seems to be an issue:
-CM12.1 is stable and fast, but doesn't have 4 tiles per row option in QS Settings and doesn't support notification ticker anymore (Xposed), SaberMod is smooth (Beeto) but there's a bug where you can't access SuperSU without dialing a code
- SlimROM wasn't a good experience when trying it to use as daily driver, sluggish and bad multitasking
- CM12.1 based ROMS like CrDroid and Euphoria I do really like, have some bugs like screen pinning causing reboot (CrDroid) and also no real Xposed support for CrDroid and Euphoria doesn't register all touches on the keyboard and makes my phone a bit hot, otherwise I would be very happy to have it as a daily driver, AICP was running okayish but there's been a bug for over a month that when opening the data quick menu, the percentage is misaligned, and it still hasn't been fixed.
- Stock 5.1 is nice, but it's a version behind 5.1.1 so that's not very nice either. Also heavily lacking in options, but I can use Xposed. Also there are 2 carrier labels on the lockscreen which makes no sense at all..
Also, in custom ROMS the torch doesn't seem to be functioning fully, the light density is not at it fullest. Sadly there seem to be some quirks with every ROM.
I'm ready to make compromises and have a ROM as daily driver which doesn't support notification ticker (basically all of them atm) but then there's also the torch issue sadly which pushes me more back to stock. But then again, nobody knows if stock still has the memory leak and opinions have been very different from person to person about stock 5.1.
Some interesting opinions over here, keep 'em coming!
@lost101 I personally think that there's no custom ROM that can match the battery life of stock, it has been impressive, surely on Lollipop.

That's why we have a lot of roms outthere, everyone can choose what match better with everyone, if you want something without issues choose stock, but don't have the optimizations options, if you prefer the options, choose the one you consider is better, but always have to sacrifice something
