[Q] Why did you install a custom ROM on your phone?

I'm curious to know why people actually spend the time on their phones and risk bricking and voiding the warranty on their phone to install the latest stable or beta ROM for their device. Is it because the stock ROM doesn't let you do your daily tasks? Or is it slow? Or is it buggy in some way?
For example, I have a HTC Desire. The reason why I installed custom roms was that I bought it second-hand with Oxygen (gingerbread 2.3.4) already pre-installed. It had some bugs as it was a beta version, but overall it was pretty good.
I then found Cyanogenmod 7.1, where I was able to get around the major issue of apps filling the tiny internal memory using scripts to put entire apps on the SD card. I was stoked, and it ran really well with no major issues. It felt like a new phone.
However, I just got my dad a HTC Desire HD, and it has the stock Sense 3.0 on there (Gingerbread 2.3.5). I was going to install Cyanogenmod, but now I'm wondering if it's truly worth the effort for a basic user.
So why do YOU install a custom ROM?

I install custom ROM's, Radios, Kernals, etc for one simple reason......
every Android phone that I have ever had the pleasure of tinkering with, works better when rooted and ROMmed. It truly gives you the customization that makes you feel like the phone belongs to and was built for YOU!!!

I have ics on all my phones

Simply to remove all the bloatware and removing sense. I love the pure android ICS experience. Also my phone flys faster without sense

How do you know for sure? I'm the same, I just flash it without thinking, like I did with my new Samsung Galaxy S2 just a few days ago (ICS, woo!). I was just about the flash this HTC Desire HD and I thought hey... who knows, maybe stock ROMs are pretty good? Or are they generally rubbish?

Well, my D1 ran stock for two months before it got pimped, so I gave it a very thorough chance! My wifes Eris ran stock for four months until she was ready to throw it off a wall, so it got its fair chance too! Then she moved to a D2G, which ran exceptionally well out of the box, I was kind of upset that she didnt like her experience. It did however, run a lot smoother once root and Liberty was added! And now for our GNex's........I ran stock ICS for two weeks and I must truly say, this device doesn't need root or anything else to kick ass, it just does! However, the developer support is just too incredible, and when you add ICSourcery to a GNex, you'll know why it must be rooted and running that ROM!!!

To get rid of crap I didn't need.
$1 gets you a reply

well i have a GN, so bricking or wrecking it is low on the list, its so easy to root, unlock, flash. I love stock ICS, but I do like the extra features I get with CM9.

AOKP on my transformer prime? Dem features.
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.

The main reason I rooted my phone and through a rom in there is to get the portable wifi for my tablet.

Reason: to learn more about Android phones, and to get rid of bloatware.

make my defy better than 2.1
make my defy fast and have the new software as moto wont do this for us!
still no full hwa but still better than stuck with 2.1
oh and get rid of 2.1 motoblur.... it was crap. the new one rocks but i cant put it on the defy.
BUT if i had an htc or just a sgs2 ics or other ultra super powered phone i would just root change launcher and stay stock!(unless cm9 it waay better like it is now)
in short i want minimalistic beautifull smooth android experience! most importantly fast!(iphone is smooth,not always, but sloooow)
defy running ics latest cm9

because roms are a whole world, it's not just performance or bugs, is the option to change to customize toggles, positions, color, overclock and every little part of you phone...
for example, the resurrection remix or any AOKP let you put calendar events on lockscreen, show wheather in a special panel in the statusbar, hide your battery icon and put a line to measure it, you can even put a navigation bar like nexus
... it's not just cool and waaaaaaay better than stock rom, it is although handy

To get rid of the bloat-ware on the stock firmware!

There is tons of reason to update to a custom ROM. The big deal for me was getting rid of the bloat, also having more features with CM7.

So I could have stock aosp OR sense 3.5. I like both, especially on the thunderbolt (similar to the HD) nothing seems to slow these phones down.
Sent from my ADR6400L

There are many reasons. For example, the phone looks, feels and works like i want.
And one more reason is, that the original software is not so perfect as the most users want.

Overflowing options. Change everything down to the boot image.And speed,and BATTERY TWEAKS!!!!
Sent from my $99 phone using Gingerbread 2.3.7 cause it's root

The reason why i'm using a custom rom is the phones OS feel more smooth and stable and all the bloatware from HTC,Samsung etc. were removed so the performance is much better

Moving to Q&A

seeking optimized TMOUS ROM

I am helping a close friend out with their new HTC One S. They really like the stock TMobile US Rom but complain about battery, and performance. I would like to know if there is a customized rom that is close to the TMo stock rom. Optimizations for performance, stability, and battery are all that is really wanted. Sense, with stock TMo bloat is just fine, and no theming.
Noble Series ROM seems to be the closest to my request, but it's a discontinued project with no download links.
Next closest appears to be TrickDroid, but the customizations removed some stock apps and changed some features that are missed.
I tried searching for roms to find one, but the descriptions are severly lacking. If it were my phone, I would just load new ROMs till I found one I liked, but it's for a friend and I can't get a hold of their phone long enough to do all that.
thanks guys!

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Before this post get move to Q&A..
I'm running TrickDroid v3.0, which is stock rom. You can flash tweaks afterward if you like.
What are the features your friend looking for?
Another rom you can look into is Zydroid 2.0 similar to TrickDroid, but a little different in my opinion.
Battery is great on both..

Wrong section bud, try general or Q&A. My choice goes with TrickDroid, best for performance and battery and has TMOBUS version. You can use LeeDroid (I prefer much more) as it works extremely well on my TMOBUS device.
I remember back in the old days on my old device, people who posted in the wrong section got banned! This guy gets off easy

i apologize for posing to the wrong forum. I assumed as I was asking about a custom rom, that it was for dev area.
Mod's feel free to move this to Q/A.
Zydroid clearly states that it removed the bloatware.
TrickDroid does not state this, but it is removed.
We'd like to keep the stock apps if possible.

With TrickDroid, I know you get all regular apps EXCEPT the bloat **** T-Mobile puts on the device (why would anyone want this worthless crap anyways?). You still get all HTC Sense stuff and common Android apps (Play, music, Beats, browser, blah blah blah...). Same goes for LeeDroid.

anyone know what the diffs are between zydroid and trickdroid? ...... leedroid appears heavily themed. I dont care for or want theme changes.
both are based on stock w/sense. the appear competitive on tweaks. both have the stock TMO apps removed.

I'm about to release one as I've just got a One S in my hands It'll be good...

I've tried both trickdroid and zydroid, but not yet touched leedroid as it seems more of a international version. also now that you mention about the extra theme that kinda seems like a turn off to me.
So far although both are great roms I personally prefer zydroid's version, seems smooth, to the point and intended more for tmo user as it was created by a tmo user (granted trickdroid does have a tmo version, it was created by someone who is not using tmo). as far as the extra apps u get from tmo well... yes they both take them off but if there is any that you did want you can go back to the playstore and download them again for free
Hope that helps

NRG!! Now I don't feel so bad sticking with HOS. I've been using energy since my Touch Pro 2 days. Loved the ROMs!
Can't wait for Energy on HOS
PS: Maybe you can figure out why the damn volume fluctuates when you plug in headphones from music to apps.
(For instance, I'm listening to music plugged in AUX to my car and then if it switches to Voxer or Phone, its super low(even at full vol), then it goes back to full volume with music) Very annoying.)

I'd definitely give zydroid ago, Zylith is a great guy and has some excellent responses with his ROM

Best custom Rom for HTC One X?

Best is a term relative to one's one opinions. But I'd still like to know.
On my HTC Inspire 4G, I had leedroid on it. It was awesome! Well, still is. And leedroid has made so many neat improvements in his HTC ONE X Rom, it sounds like an awesome rom. However, as I found out the hard way, the rom is for the international version. I ended up with a hanging boot and I had to flash the AT&T boot.img to get it working again.
As far as I know, leedroid does not yet have a rom for the AT&T one x. Which really sucks because I loved leedroid roms.
Sooo, if leedroid really does have a rom for the at&t one X I would LOVE it if someone can correct me and give me a link. Otherwise, what would you recommend?
I've always been a sense guy, for some reason. It seems fairly user friendly, and I like the looks. Especially sense 4.0. I liked the way leedroid kept sense in. A lot of other roms (cm for an example) don't have sense. And also I had a hard time growing to like cm. Anyways, what would you guys recommend, or do you think I might as well stay on stock?

Looking at it, it sounds awesome! Thank you to both of you. Downloading now, I'll give it a try. I hate AT&T bloatware.

Whats the difference between dev and normal? On the download page it appeared the dev version was 150mbs and normal ~500mbs+.
Heh.. Either way; I'm gunna tweak CM9 a bit and see if I can fix the camera issues. The other bugs dont bother me.
BUT I use Nocturnal Xi40 r109 with Dual Core + 1.8gz OC mods. I pull a 5K+ Quadrant score which is a huge improvement from 4,600 :b Although it all works so fast I personally don't notice the difference.

Any of the Clean Roms!
little rant...I hate that all these threads get closed. They should just start one and leave one open and stickied. It's all subjective and there may not be a best rom, but there are certainly roms thats better than others and with all the updates it's always changing. nice to have on thread where people can voice their opinion and discuss the positives and negatives of each rom.

Well, I'm partial to the Team Nocturnal ROM's, but I imagine y'all could figure that out since I'm part of the team.

There's a Clean ROM for everyone. SE for those who just want a faster, less bloated, and more optimized Sense experience and DE for those who want an ASOP like experience but with Sense at the core for stability and to keep the few things Sense does well (like the camera).

I flashed CleanROM 3.0 SE. I have to say I'm impressed. Its a lot like stock but its even faster and smoother! Though I must say I do really miss leedroid tweeks. It'd be nice if CleanROM made it easier to change similar settings.

If you really want fast try smokin1337 sense rom. It is simply amazing. I don't know what he's done to it but it the fastest rom I've ever used. It does take a long time to install, like 10-12 minutes so let it go. It really is fast. I use the 1.88 kernel and radio flashed after installing the rom. I've tried all the custom roms and this is fastest. Never experienced a sense rom that felt as fast as aosp/aokp , I have now. do a nandroid and give it a try. You have nothing to lose. You probably won't go back though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698502

Currently on CleanROM, but am interested in any good senseless ROMs, hopefully just basic ICS.

A search would have told you XDA doesn't allow Best from threads. As there is no best from.

Which is the best current rom in your opinion?

I was tempted to sell off my one x and get a sg3, but I figured it's pointless since I am sure I will be getting one of the new nexus phones when they hit the market. (Hope Google doesn't drop the ball on these).
So since I am keeping this phone for awhile I am going to unlock the bootloader and put something better on it than stock sense.
I really like sense but I had to disable it because of the multitasking issue. Switched to nova launcher as well since none of the sense widgets worked after disabling the core components.
I am looking for a sense based rom with better multitasking, better battery life (mine isn't too bad right now), and the ability to remap the hot keys. I never use the recent button but I miss having a search button that isn't at different locations in every app.
What would be my best option?
Thanks.

Well... CleanROM 4.0 SE is what you want. :good:
Not sure you're allowed to make these sorts of threads though.

Not sure why there would be a rule against asking a question in the question and answer forum about which rom suits my needs the best. If there was such a rule then I apologize for breaking it , but such a rule would be pretty dumb if you ask me.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

What's the best is purely subjective and and in the past such threads have erupted in flamewars so the Mods don't allow them.

As you can tell from my post though I have am not looking for the best rom, I am looking for the rom that best suits my needs.
Just asking what I the best is of course going to bring a "What I use is the best because I use it" responses. What I wanted to know is if there is a rom that best suited the needs I described. I am sure there are other roms that can do other things in didn't list better
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I've tried them all. Personally, CleanRom DEV and King Cobra's have been my favorites. They've been very reliable for me. Although atm I'm stripping down CleanRom 4.0 [I wouldn't call it clean, personally] and removing EVERYTHING I don't need to see how low/minimal I can get the rom in size :] I know it may not sound like a difference to you, but I don't need widgets or half of every thing that comes with it or any other rom. I want the slim-lined ROM with only core components I need. I don't need the wallpapers or quite a few of the APKs that come with it. Also, I don't need my apps zipaligned everytime I reboot. I don't want it. I don't need it. When I boot my phone on, I want it ready to go ASAP. <Haven't noticed a difference with zip on/off anyways>.
So... When I'm done stripping away CleanRom 4.0 SE, And have done a full setup [Busybox, Root, SD Maid, SD Booster, Cache Mate, and The V6 Supercharger scripts, I'll give you a heads up if all my cleaning [of a clean rom ;D] is worth it. Maybe I'll upload it, But I'd get the dev's permission first.
PS, Tryout CM9. When its fully up and running I'm sure it will be great. My HTC Aria went from stock to CM9, and it was blazing fast.

But that's not what your subject says

If people just read the the thread title without actually reading my post and then start a flame war over it chances are they were going to find another thread to start one anyway. People like that don't come to a forum to learn or help, they come to a forum to stir up trouble because they have nothing better to do with their life and that's just sad.
We should all be able to discuss any subject in a mature manner without it turning into a childish argument.
Anyway, thank you for to the people that replied with answers. I appreciate it.

CleanROM is a good "off-the-shelf" solution. It has bloatware removed, and some customization - including multitasking improvemets. And it still has Sense, which is nice for those who like it. Give it a try!

If you want to find a ROM that suits your needs the best way to go about it is to take the time to actually read the threads in development for each particular ROM.

A better thread title would help, such as "Suggest a ROM for my needs" or even "What is your favorite ROM". There is no "best" ROM, and suggesting so is considered by many here (including myself) to be insulting to the devs that work so hard giving us these ROMs.

Opinions; Back up stock / Flash Custom ROM

Before we get started, im looking for opinions more than help here, feel free.
Everyone says the choice of ROM is about personal preference & not so much performance.
From what i read its 50/50.
I run a stock ROM 4.0.3 HTC One XL (Telstra) with Sense 4.0
- unlocked
- rooted
- TWRP (clockworkmod didnt work)
I've narrowed my choices for a custom ROM down to
- MIUI
- CleanROM
- ViperXL
Im not exactly sure how to go about the backup of the stock ROM.
Coming from iOS, backing up the stock version meant simply keeping a copy of the original firmware.
I have installed
- Titanium Backup
- ROM manager
- Root explorer
Im not sure what other details are relevant, im new to android.
I want the end result to be efficient, at the moment im chewing through battery., and experiencing lag.
I want to be able set individual app permissions as at present i have processes chewing data that shouldnt be.
I want the ability to customize my UI, i change my mind every day.
I dont want bugs and i dont like it when things dont work the way they should.
Im not fussed with keeping anything of sense other than
- camera
- beats
I have found one helpful tutorial on backing up stock, but it uses clockworkmod in the example, i dont.
The others are all fairly non descript; "first back up, then flash"
I loved my jailbroken iPhone 4S and spent quite a deal of time getting to know it and customize it.
I want to do the same here but i dont want to screw it up.
The difference between the two, is that after all of my messing about, things on my iPhone worked the way i wanted them to.
Everything i have done so far on the one XL seems to come at the cost of performance.
I've held off for weeks trying to educate myself, but am growing impatient with my phones performance.
Feel free to share your opinions, and any good tutorials i might have missed.

Back up with TWRP (boot into recovery and choose backup). As for the ROM, look at the roms forums and choose the one you think fits your needs. I am running viper, very customizable and I personally have no issues. I am also running the 2.29 radio an battery has been great.

do you have issues with performance or stability? i usually worry about the latter.
try to find the bug reports for the ROMs you're looking at. the JB ROMs are a lot less stable at this point, but it's fun to participate with development!

Stability is obviously a real concern.
But performance is equally weighted.
I dont think we should have to trade on for the other.
I been reading the bug reports, its the reason i'm still on stock.
5 - 10 years ago i'd be all into development.
Adulthood sux. I get to play with my phone for like an hour a day.

i understand that! originally i rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the safe 2.20 build that's around here somewhere. pretty basic and bug-free!
now i'm running the CNA ROM and there are some issues, but i have a little time on my hands at the moment to work around them. jellybean is cool, though!
i like ROMs that are simpler- i don't care to delve into GUI tweaks or crazy hacks. just want to get rid of the bloat and set things up the way i like.
i'm curious, though... have you had performance issues?

- 2.20 was ICS i take it?
- CNA???
- same, i want rid of bloat, and i want the freedom to set it up the way i like it.
- yeah i think i have, whether theyre any different to what the majority experience im not sure.
I unlocked, rooted, and started researching custom ROMs, until then i began customizing as much as i can;
- launcher
- lock screen
- widgets
- dock
- music player
- browser
Installed & deleted more apps than i care to think about in a process of trial and error.
When i had a setup that was almost what i want, i kept it and got rid of the rest, but;
- screen transitions are now not as smooth as stock.
- exiting apps or waking from sleep sometimes causes the whole screen to get retarded for a bit before the launcher loads everything.
- battery life is a major issue.
- data usage from apps that should be using it is also a problem.

- yeah, 2.20 is ICS. from what i gather, most JB ROMs right now still haven't got the kinks worked out of them because devs don't have HTC source code to pull from. could be wrong on that one.
- CNA = codename android. i'm using it right now. i like it and there are no dealbreaker bugs for me.
- sounds like me. i had a really old galaxy S1 that got realllllyyy slow in its old age. it's a balancing thing, i guess; some apps just have sloppy coding. i think launchers and their settings do make quite the difference in some cases, though.

Sweet, taking a look now. Tidy download, about the smallest ive seen.
Yeah i can understand an old phone getting slow and laggy in its old age.
I've had the HOXL for about a month.
Hoping a clean custom and minimal messing about with additional apps will fix it now that i have an idea where im headed.
Cheers for the input.
