Hi,
I'm looking for a the snappiest rom for everyday use with the best battery life, can anyone recommend one? I would also like to know how to flash custom kernels.
Thanks!
i can't tell about roms because i have never used another one but about flashing kernels find the one that suits with your chosen rom and flash it via recovery.i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.many of us use it
hi friend. yes i have 4ext touch installed. just trying to hunt best rom.

Hi all,
i'm new to this whole ROM and Flashing thing so sry for maybe stupid questions.
ATM my Sensation works with the stock ROM and no Mods but i sometimes got serious performance probs like laggs in closing or opening apps or go through the app list or mails.
I thought that probably a custom ROM could solve this problems cause most guys tell me they got a better performance with a custom ROM and a better battery life.
Most intersting ROM to me is Insert Coin atm but i read there could be issues with Exchange-Servers for Mail.
Maybe anyone could give me an advice if a custom ROM is a good idea or not.
Btw i am a noob in the ROM / Flash thing but im working in the IT business so i think i am not a noob in this at all and should learn fast! ;o)
i don't use exchange mail, but i recently rooted and installed insertcoin and it in indeed faster...i also used insertcoin on my desire and I've always enjoyed his roms
if you don't like it you can always go back to stock
On custom ROM you can do more than on stock. Generaly performance, battery life increase with custom.
There are more users of custom ROMS so support is better on this forum. Life is too short to use stock ROM
Hello xda. My friend recently ordered an one s and he asked me to make his phone good. I'm from another forum(u8800pro) and i post ROMs there so i don't have the time to work on this phone and I'm asking you here.
1)Is there any 4.2 ROM? If so is it stable?
2)In case he wants 4.1.x what's the best option for a guy that knows NOTHING about android?
3)Which is the best kernel for 4.1.x?
4)Which is the most stable ROM for daily use and hard gaming anyway?
5)How to root it?
6)Which recoveries are available for this phone?
7)What is the ROM flashing method for this phone and what is hboot?
8)What is needed to flash a ROM on the phone exactly as it comes out of the box?
Any help is appreciated because the phone will arrive in 2-3 days.
-UPDATE its an S4
Thanks in advance!

To answer any of this you first need to know if it's a S3 or S4.
Because this determines which ROMs or recoverys you can flash.

CM10 would be your best bet then and you will need to fastboot the boot.img and TWRP is the best recovery to use.

I'll never understand the deal with CM.
Personally I dont like it at all. There seems to always be at least one important feature not working properly.
I go against the stream and say, if hes not used to android I think rooted stock with maybe a different kernel would be more than enough for him.
The only downside with stock rom is that it lacks features for the more advanced users (like the majority on this site ).
Other than that the stock is actually pretty damn good.
Its by far the best stock rom Ive encountered, but this is my first HTC device though (unless you count my old QTek 9100 )

For me Sense is over the top but I do kinder like it.
Dear user,
I would like to see your advice whether should I flash a cutom rom like NOS_v2.0.0_X920E or to still run stock?
My device is HTC X920e with unlocked bootloader, S-ON rooted and TWRP installed.
Are there any advantages to go for custom rom? I know i'm running and there are some chines app installed even we delete it removed it using other advance apk or ultimate backup.etc, but after restart the phone, thos will be auto installed which is very annoying.
But maybe you can help bring some more reasons why we should still on stock or custom one.
Thank in advance and feel that in HTC butterfly's forum seem silent and not more developers like to pay much here.
Fell very lonely here
Edited: decided to flash right a way. running custom rom now...
phone's really not that famous to devs out there. so far I've used the NOS ROM and nothing else. not much to choose from, that is. but the ROM's running great for a daily driver.
Got my shiny new Moto G which I am about to Root.
Can you pls suggest the best rom if the aim is 1) best battery life and 2) stability. ? Is stock rom the best for this or will you suggest a custom rom.
TIA

My model is xt1033. Also if custom kernel is the way to go on stock rom, then pls suggest the best custom kernel.
So far, I'm using stock rom until now, I love the battery usage, i got 8 hours screen on time with 20 hours of standby.
with faux123 kernel and faux clock app.
If you wanna try a custom rom, i suggest Paranoid Android
the performance and battery life was good!
@OP, there is no such thing as a "best ROM/kernel". Everyone has different opinions/needs. The only way to find what's best for you is to head over to the dev sections and try a few, then decide for yourself which you liked the most.

Hey guys, so I got a brand new HTC M8 and Ive been reading all of the rooting guides and such and had a few questions. After doing a search I'm not really seeing many suggestions. So after I S-off, install custom recovery, do a backup of my stock rom, and then put a permanent root on my phone, what ROM do you guys recommend to be the best? Someone out there that has tried most of them? I love to tweak so thought Id get your guys opinions. Also, do most of you use keep the stock kernel or use a custom kernel, if so which kernel do you like? Thanks guys!!!!

I've tried Almost all. For my daily driver I use cleanrom 1.3 on stock kernel atm. I don't mess much with kernels but have just browsed thru a few threads and found some kernels that do not have "official" release. Look into them as they have gotten nice reviews. Sky fall is nice for stock as well. D.h. and his GPE ROM is pretty on point with that straight google experience. I have not tried sinless yet but that has good rants for being a GPE ROM. As far as aosp they are hit or miss for my device. Play with those for your own experience. I prefer the stock sense and great battery life so since I have been following @scrosler from my past few phones and know what to expect I am partial to his creations. Good luck. Don't forget to NANDROID And thank your devs .
