What is the difference between using a custom rom like Mildwild versus using a launcher with Cynanogenmod 7.2?
A launcher is just a simple app. It is only the "home screen." Non rooted users can install them
A custom ROM is a full OS, usually is tweaked to make the entire phone faster, have better battery life, more features etc.

If you don't feel up to the challenge of flashing a custom ROM, then a launcher is a nice alternative and can make a stock ROM seem much smoother (I know it sure did with my old Galaxy S), but a good custom ROM will always give you better results, as it has been tweaked with and most of the time will have all the junk stripped out of it.
Hope that tells you what you need to know
Hello in my opinion the difference in Launcers and Custom ROMs is high the developers of custom roms take features from other roms and they made one rom but there it have some bugs by the way they fix them. but Launchers is the official firmware in the device probably some lags but no bugs camera-sound-call and etc I prefer custom rom because is lighter than official one
Thanks guys
I'm running Mildwild now.
But Cyanogenmod (with a launcher) vs Mildwild? whats the difference?
Cyanogenmod is a full OS that I can run on my HTC desire, Mildwild is also a full OS? What does someone like Mildwild do to Cyanogenmod?
Sorry, I just don't get it.

Mildwild is a ROM, correct? I googled and found it is a ROM based off CM, so I'm guessing the developer took CM for your device, tweaked it a bunch, and released it under Mildwild (of course giving proper credits by saying it's based off CM).
Maybe that will clear it up for you

Just don't mix launchers with custom Roms!
They have a vast difference to be compared!
Simple eg :
Custom Rom can have launchers in it! Included
Launcher cannot have custom Rom in it!
Launcher is a small part!

I am new to android...i had updated my galaxy fit with samsung kies with gingerbread 2.3.6. now i want to know that what is difference between original rom (which i had updated from kies) and custom rom (example: razodroid).
is there any difference between performance, battery back, etc.
pls let me know.
theres a lot of difference between them
custom roms have many extra features not available in original roms like battery backup, themes etc
u can increase peformance by overclocking
To actually experience the difference, I suggest you to try it yourself...
Believe me, you won't regret moving away from stock roms...
Sent from my GT-S5670
First difference is "Spelling" !
And then performance and a lot of tweaks which stock dont have
Stock rom is really stable than custom ones but with custom rom you get overclocking, performance, lockscreen gesture.
The real diff is stock.rom has no bugs as far as i know.

I'm currently using Fit-Sense, it's good but it's based on cynogen mod which has some bugs. Anyway i've tried Sabotage, it's good and fast. And i looking forward to try the Chocobread (heard it's quite). I personally like Fit-Sense better than Sabotage and others i've tried but i think you should try custom ROMs on your own. Don't take other's point of view, since not every one has same opinion. Anyway, tells us if you need help flashing a custom rom.
I am currently using venoms and i am curious about CyanogenMod 10 .
So i want someone who was using both roms to share his experience with them, what is better and what is worst.

Hi,
Read the [OP] of each one.
Better still,make a nandroid backup of your current ROM,and flash the ROM you are inquiring about.
You are the only one who can judge how good a ROM is.

I'm with you...
CyanogenMod 10 is undergoing rapid changes, sometimes newer builds break some function in older builds (e.g. mms). Hard to make conclusion based on that. Imo if you want stability, use ViperS as daily driver. Make nandroid backups of your ViperS before installing CM10, of course.
Matter of Personal Preference!
As our friend malybru said, you have to flash both ROMs then decide for yourself. I have flashed and tested many ROMs myself. Gotta admit it's a matter of personal preference after all.
I come from ARHD. Now I'm using bruce's CM10 Android 4.1.2 latest build (October 27, 2012). This "IS" by far the fastest, most complete, most advanced Custom ROM I have ever used. WIth V6 Supercharger and latest version of GApps, It's amazing how everything works perfect with this ROM.
As you already know, CM10 is an AOSP Based ROM, where m0narx's ViperS is Sense Based.
VipersS uses Android 4.0.3 ICS as it's core system + Sense UI 4.1. This is an amazing Sense Based ROM.
CM10 uses Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and it's PURE Android. IMO this one is more advanced and it's faster + I love AOSP UI.
Both ROMs get updates now and then, but again remember that CM10 is under ongoing development. So speaking of "Daily Driver" this might not be a wise choice, unless you like to test and experience.
Both ROMs are rooted and highly customizable. Flash both of them and you'll know.
As the title says. Had it but haven't unlocked for a long time. Looking for 4.2 rom.
My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
Cyanogen mod 6.1 is what you're probably looking for, fastest and most stable rom on the market!

Ive been running pacman for a while and its going really well as a daily driver for over a week now.
Sent from my unlocked VZW Galaxy S3
Also interested in this, had pacman but would loop crash system ui with some settings conflicting I guess. And then I couldn't find the "sweet spot". Tried liquid but had notification problems, some apps wouldn't appear in the status bar.
So for now back to CleanRom till I get time to test more.

I will have to try this, I am running Jellybeans 12 atm because I acutally like Touchwiz themed to look like AOSP, never really liked using the launchers like Nova etc (not sure why). I may try it out just to see what 4.2 has etc.
if it's the AOSP look you thrive for but ejjoy the TouchWiz ROM bean is perfect for that. however, if you decide you want to give another TW ROM a try, I personally run my own rom with my own theme, but I ported bean's theme to Team Synergy's ROM, and also CleanROM.
but for a 4.2.2 ROM my personal favorite is Liquid-RC1, Very stable for me good battery life, and has the most features from what I've ran.
If you would like to run a nice 4.1.2 AOSP ROM I highly suggest, either AOKP nov27 build. or ParanoidAndroid 2.5.6
Paranoid Android also has kick ass 4.2 ROM out, along with PAC ROM it's called, it combines the goodies from CM, Paranoid Android, and AOKP ROMS and put's it all into one. Great ROM, but since there's so many features, many are overlapping eachother, or simply are not enabled yet. BUT I still think it's a great ROM!

Stock rom seems to be always the most stabe and daily driver
Also there is no perfect rom,it depends on what you need (stability,performance,UI.....)
For me i like non stock roms the most.., but i always choose the stock UI (in my case S3 with Nature UX).
The stock roms are indeed the most stable, but some mods are only in custom roms

If u want your android as very stable stick on stock rom and mod it...
and if you want more usability and more functions, mods and other borrowed features then you should go for custom rom...

Custom rooms is more secure, faster, more features
Stock is well more stable that's all.

I prefer using stock ROM with Deodexed and Zipaligned apps as it's more stable than custom ROMs
Stock vs Custom Rom
I prefer a super stripped down stock Rom, bloatware removed. Then add mods and tweak things to how I want.
Also Re-odexing a rom (custom/stock) after installing mods and themes will keep the rom boot up quickly
whenever I tried a stock rom (experience with Galaxy Ace, Desire, Desire HD, S2, S3 mini and S4) I feel like stock roms are slow compared to custom roms.. never modded a stock rom
I prefer custom roms. At early state the might be buggy but afterwards you have much more functionality.
for LG stock is much better than custom roms

both of stock and custom difference effect on mobiles phone,custom kernel efficient.
For GS4 i love both. Stock ROM for samsung app and features. And custom for all the tweaks ( battery life ).

Of course custom rom...
However it depends on rom's build quality. There are a lot of kind of roms.
A stable build of a rom is much more stable, better and faster than a simple stock rom with blootware
Custom rom hands down. There will be a rom that's pretty much stock but deflated and tweaked. Anyone who chooses stock over custom, let alone on xda, hasn't really done their research

its ur choice what to discuss in this??
A stock ROM will run the device as it was designed to be run. This will traditionally give you the most out of box stability and performance.
A custom ROM is meant to run the device as the ROM author intended, subject to the limitations of the device. These ROMs usually trade off performance and/or stability for new features (while sometimes disabling features from the stock ROM, typically due to non open sourced drivers).
The point of a custom ROM is to addressed perceived shortcomings of the phone. If you purchase a phone that does what you need, then you won't need to install a custom ROM. If there are no phones that handle what you need, then you get the closest approximation and run a custom ROM that addresses your needs.
On my HTC Droid Incredible (2010-2011), I wrote my own ROM so that it would perform exactly as I needed. For my Galaxy S2 (2011-2013) and Galaxy S4 GPE (2013-), I have no desire to run a custom ROM.
No one is going to be able to tell you what sort of ROM is best going to fit YOUR needs, except YOU. Everyone has different needs/wants in a ROM. The best thing to do is try different ROMs out and see which one is best for your day to day phone needs.

Anyone running cyanogenmod as a primary ROM on a Nexus 5--
Why did CyanogenMOD fork?
What features do you enjoy using on this ROM?
What are the advantages of using this ROM over stock or modified AOSP?
I don't ?
You may want to check Wikipedia. It's been a custom ROM for almost as long as Android has been around.
The short of it is they're tinkerers just like any other custom ROM. You get a lot of features not found on the stock ROM and bug fixes literally nightly- if they are merged in from AOSP, other 3rd party forks, and enthusiasts- and they're immediately available in the next nightly update. I really don't know how to answer your question because there's technical advantages, feature advantages... If you want to root make a backup of your ROM and try a few. You'll figure things out quickly.
