thanks what about speed before custom rom and after? wondering if its worth the money to get one
Its almost the same but with root you can freeze any apps that you dont need or run in background completely to make your device a bit faster with no lag
PS:you can try Android Revolution HD rom
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium
Custom roms generally are tweaked to be a bit more speedy, have the bloat taken out and allow you, the user, to do things that are usually not allowed or limited.
Don't ask what is the best rom as it is rude and will start a rom war. You need to go to the developement section, pick the roms that are compatible with your device, n8010/13 rom won't allow the n8000 to use its phone functions, and then read the posts.... Decide what you want then flash. The beauty is, as long as you do a nandroid backup, you can return to your stock rom or try another rom as many times as you want...

You can do more thing after rooting your device.Use SYSTEM APP REMOVER to uninstall some app you don't use maked more free memory.Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps.And so much more You can do...
Watch pr0n. Then unlock and flash a new rom.

Download a good kernel
Install SetCPU (allows you to OC and UC). Good for saving battery while the screen is off.

I agree with whodisname. When you root for the first time it's all about learning what is available. Just keep checking your phone's forum and reading everything you can about the ROMs and the kernels.
Next comes the frustrating part: installing and having things go wrong. They will, so make sure you are ready to reinstall all of your apps manually a few times. You should have a backup made from before you do any changes to your kernel or ROM. Keep that no matter what. And btw do not install anything ROM or Kernel that is not SPECIFICALLY for your phone model. You do that and it's game over Chuck.
Yes read and dont rush or end up with a bricked phone which will be no good to man nor beast

All excellent suggestions. I ROM switch at least once a week, just to ty different ROMS. I am using my Thunderstick right now because I am in the process of unbricking my Rezound. It's learning and pushing your phone to the maximum. It is the same reason my PC is liquid cooled, take it past the basic specs and try something different.
Hyperdrive is giving me mms issues among other little things. I need a rom that allows the basics to work some added functionality. Also if I were to install a new rom.do I need to unlock the bootloader again?

I use PAC MAN ROM no issues so far.
It's best to try different ROMs as people have different experiences. Many people love Jelly 'Beans', but for me it's very unstable. Carbon and Slim Beans are very good. I love Hyperdrive and I'm sure that with the next release, the MMS bug will be gone.
CleanRom is the most stable rom since it's very close to stock rom but with performance boost and bunch of excellent mods. No doubt this is what you looking for.
Go touch wiz, clean rom or beans should be very stable.

Once tour bootloader is unlocked it stays unlocked flashing between roms. It only gets locked again if you return to factory stock.
So no, you don't need to unlock bootloader if you simply change roms. It's always best wipe data though.
CleanRom for sure.

There are no custom Roms for the ATT model. There is only deodexed stock. By the way your question belongs in Q and A and not development.

I am trying to figure out how to open the boot.img.
I'm somewhat a noob to custom ROMs, and looking for a bit of information before I decide to flash a new one. I have a Verizon Droid MAXX Developer Edition (XT1080) with the current KitKat 4.4 installed. I'm looking to try the nightly CM11 out. I have already unlocked the bootloader, its not rooted just yet though.
In another forum thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654816
A user posted a link to http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt (3 downloads, I'm not sure which one to choose for my device)
I'm wanting to know if this build would work on my phone before I flash and possibly mess something up, and also does Verizon work okay on this build. Is there anything else I should know before flashing a ROM (I'm somewhat tech savvy, so the process seems pretty straight forward, but any advice is appreciated)
I would have posted the question in that thread but I didn't want to break any rules, which says to Q/A here.

Obviously you need to have a custom recovery installed and get root. All three of those builds are for our phone. They are "nightlies" that get updated, well, nightly. I ran the 2/19 build for a little while and it worked pretty well. GPS was the only thing that didn't work and I think there is a work around for that. Active notifications and touchless controls are not part of cm.
Sent from my XT1080 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I'm not worried about GPS or the Motorola controls.
Do you recommend a good recovery to flash? Also I've seen people posting problems when rooting this phone with 4.4 installed.
Any reason why you reverted back? Didn't like it?

I use TWRP. No problems rooting the Dev edition on 4.4 the problems are all with the consumer edition. I've never been a big CM fan plus I like having a working GPS, and I just didn't feel like going through the steps to get it working
CM seems to be good for my first custom ROM, but for future references do you recommend another ROM? I've seen that PACMAN ROM posted a bunch, but it looks pretty buggy.

CM 11 is pretty much it for our phones right now. You can flash the firmware for the Moto X and try those ROMs though.
One last thing as far as rooting goes. Do I use rock my moto to root. Also if I should decide to keep my stock ROM are there any advantages to rooting other than apps like titanium backup etc?

So with xposed you can customize a current ROM without having to flash to cyanogenmod? I like the stock ROM but I'd like to be able to change certain designs (example: change the way my notification bar looks. Maybe battery icons and change menus within settings. Etc ) Just trying to really see the benefit of flashing another ROM if what I'm wanting to do can be done through a 3rd party program.

When I first installed CM11 it looked almost exactly like my stock set up using the Google launcher and xposed. The only advantage CM provides that I can see is the ability to tweak the kernel settings, if you are into that sort of thing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I appreciate all the help so far. I think I will try xposed out and see what I can tweak as far as display settings.
I'm assuming no custom recovery is required for this, only rooting. I like some aspects of cyanogenmod but for this also being my work phone, I don't want to risk messing up my network settings etc.
When you root, can you still update your stock OS? Or do you need to unroot before each update?

I'm switching between Validus and Liquid Smooth. Both are very smooth with lots of customization. Both have very active G+ communities.
You can always root, install a custom recovery and try a ROM. Just backup your stock ROM and you can always switch back. Takes like maybe three minutes to reinstall a backup.

If you want the official update for kikat when it comes out, then find the official stock rom and keep in a safe place. When u hear that the update was released use titanium backup back up your apps, then flash the stock and it will say your device is offical and let you update. Once updated, go into download mode and flash twrp. Twrp will root your device. Once rooted, reinstall titanium backup, restore your apps. WHEN USING TITANIUM BACKUP ONLY BACKUP USER APPS AND DATA ONLY. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS, it causes problems and makes things crash, its not pretty( I did it ). There you have it. run stock rooted with the newest official update. Of course you could just flash a custom kikat rom that would be easier.

You can not attach a rom using the attachment option on XDA. The file size would be too big.
