Hi all,
I'm trying ROMs for my Nexus S and I'm not a big fan of all modifications...
That's why I'm looking for a light ROM with no tweaks or MODs.
Any idea ? I can't find this.
Thanks !
What you want is stock OTA rom right?
I don't know exactly what's the name of what I'm looking for.
Is there rooted OTA ?

Yes, look in the development section. You want a rooted OTA or AOSP ROM, though a most of the AOSP ROMs have a few minor tweaks (optional power toggles in the notification drawer, etc).
I tried some AOSP.
I'll search for a rooted OTA. Thanks.

Hi guys,
I saw that in the cm9/10 roms the fonts are more little and thinner then in the stock rom.
can I change the fonts like in the stock rom?
Yes you can, but you need root access to do it manually, but I don't know if there is an app to do it without root.
Do some search and you'll find some answers, I'm a little bit lazy now to do it for you

Hey guys.
What's the gain of using a custom rom over the stock one (Assuming rooted stock rom) ?
I'm kinda lost in all the roms available , so I was wondering if it was really worth it
Cheers

Battery life (if coupled with custom kernel)
Modifications -- some brilliant mods available -- Battery Icons, Themes, Menu settings etc
Cause you can :good:
-------
Using a custom Kernel with Stock Rooted and a few Xposed modules can be the same as a custom ROM most of the time though.. So give that a try first.
I have a lot better speed and battery life using Hyperdrive ROM with Beastmode Kernel. All the Touchwiz stuff (pen, etc.) still works, so yeah. Custom ROM > Samsung Bloatware.
I get between 11-14 hours with REALLY heavy use and full screen brightness and overclocked.

I have been trying custom ROM's and Kernels for many years..... I'm yet to find one that's worth the hassle.
Just disable the stock apps/bloatware you don't use and you'll get better { performance/battery life } than any custom ROM.
The only reason to use a custom ROM (IMO) would be for additional (required) functionality like additional fie system support etc.
I have personally had absolutely no good reason for the use of a custom Rom in years !.
I also don't feel like using custom rom over stock, I did many experiments with note one but with note 3 I would stay with stock rom.
Bloat wares are not bothering me, battery life is also decent so in my opinion leaving some extra utilities stock is better
Depends on which custom rom you choose. Some rom are good, nice and stable but others don't.
Sometimes I use custom rom because I wanna remove useless apps installed by carriers. If you find it not a issue, keep the stock one.
So if your phone is rooted then u don't really need custom rom isn't it well correct me if I'm wrong as I'm new to that android thing lol

It's not a matter of "need" Hyperdrive has given me better battery life (even after freezing all the bloat) and has a lot of customization. You can do most of it through Xposed, but all the really valuable things are in it already. I never found one I thought was worth it until hyperdrive.
Try one of the ROMs that look interesting, if you like it keep using it. If not, that's what nandroid backups are for.

If u know how to tweaks it urself, do modification to what u need, no custom rom is needed once u r rooted. Basically, once u r rooted u can do all system changes, IF u know how to.
But, assuming u r new, based on ur post, just grab any custom tom u like nd try.

Hi all, I have had HTC One M8 for a month now and I just love it.
The only thing I would like to know that if I installed a custom rom would my phone function better?
I honestly got sick of installing roms on my old Galaxy S3, and every time I find something that I don't like in that rom or a bug.
Please help me deciding.

Just because you root doesn't mean you need to install a custom rom.
Rooting and keeping stock ROM will allow you to tweak the stock rom to your liking. You can use any number of tools like the Xposed mods, tasker scripts, themers, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I have always rooted and tweaked the stock ROMS until late in the device life when I won't be getting the next version of Android. Then I load a custom ROM.

To me, the biggest advantage of rooting is removing bloatware (apps you don't want.) There's no need to install a custom ROM if you don't want to do so but there are advantages to custom ROMs, several already have much of the bloat removed.
They probably won't make your phone function better.

Very good point, I love how responsive my phone is, and I also like the way the stock rom feels and looks. Now I will consider rooting it.

So is it easy to remove Verizon pre-installed apps if I rooted my phone?

If you are keeping the stock ROM do NOT remove the bloatware if it is a system file. (Most of them are) If you remove them you will not be able to take the OTA updates from your carrier until you restore them. You are better off disabling them or using Titanium Backup to Freeze them. That way they are easily reversed so you can take the OTA update.

titanium back up freeeze/uninstall
I used to crack flash back on my Galaxy Nexus. I had the M8 for about a month before I rooted and S'Offed. I'm hesitant to flash a full custom ROM as of yet because stock plus Xposed is keeping me extremely happy. For me, the Xposed framework and modules is such a great setup because it allows me to pick and choose which tweaks I want.
Was gonna remain stock till I downloaded an xposed mod that messed up my wifi (possibly due to having a feature another xposed module was handling turned on) . Instead of reflashing and adding all the tweaks and flash zip to a stock ROM, I went ahead and flashed cleanrom which is basically debloated with all the tweaks/mods I already previously had and wanted.
Cleanrom plus the xposed modules like sense6 toolbox, gravity box, XSense, etc make staying stock or stock-ish a very glamorous option
Sounds like what you want is some good old fashioned CleanROM :good:

Edit just read the most recent post right after posting this. Oh well. You'll love CleanROM though. Had it for about a month (practically a record for me and roms) and I love it. Gpe is also pretty stable may try that it he future 'cause I heart aosp but other than that I see no reason to use anything but CleanROM

Root It!
The Cyanogenmod nightlies are good - the 6/16 version did not have any problems.
Noob question alert: How can we get the new OTA features if we are not on stock CM11S? Are they in the CM11 nightlies? I'm on a custom rom (SlimKat) but am willing to use another rom to get the new fixes. I guess I could go back to stock rooted CM11S but wondering if there are any other alternative. Thanks in advance.

CM11 will have these updates. Of course the rom you are on will integrate them but you have to wait for them to update the rom. The choice is yours what you want to do...

Is it possible to add Quick Circle case functionality to custom roms? I tried searching for this but didn't find anyone asking specifically about this.. I'm using the Lollipop CM rom. Thanks in advance!

It would have to be baked into the ROM by the developer
Makes sense. Thanks very much. I really like the quick circle case and have several. But the Lollipop rom is so fast that I'd go without if I had to.
