Well after being on ios for 2 years its safe to say im new to the rooting scene on android. Regardless i am rooted and am running the latest synergy rom on my vzw gs3. I understand boot animations dont usually work on my device. How could i go about getting them to work. The developer told me it is possible to get them working. Thanks in advance!

On stock, it's not exactly a breeze. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829363
I am using synergy 1.2? Whatever the latest version of the rom is thats what im on.

Synergy is based on stock and as such is subject to the same restricitions in this case. See the thread I linked.
Oh ok. I'll give you a thanks when i get on my desktop. Idk how to on this app. Also just for future reference are there any roms with non stock kernals? Sorry if my terminology is wrong.

This phone hasn't had what you might call a normal development cycle. New kernels are just starting to come around since the bootloader just got unlocked. I know of one stock based kernel right now. See here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31329-kerneltouchwiz-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-819-v022/
YOU WILL NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER FIRST. There's an app in the market for that.
I am not new to flashing roms on to my tab 2(gt-p3113) and in my search for the coolest most stable and fastest roms but as I searched around I could on find 2 developers CM I tryed there JB from but I don't like it kinda buggy after going through it then I looked again and I found that AOKP made a few roms for my device I am currently running there JB rom and I is OK but I dont like JB that much so now I come here to look and the same roms popped up but in older versions(and current) I want a completely custom rom like blu kuban( for epic 4g touch) thank you for any help

Hey I am a newbie to this website but I have learned so much but right now I am at a complete lost! I want to use the [Themes][JB][4.1.2][UCLK4][TouchWiz] Stock Odexed [12-DEC-2012] or any type of ROM or Kernel to change my phone's look . I don't know what any of these terms mean like rom, kernal, odexed, any of that . Can some one take time to show me how to properly put the JB firmware on my phone and the explanations and definitions of these terms to me or direct me to a forum already created on this problem . Thanks in Advance!
I am using a rooted Samsung Galaxy 2 Skyrocket.

For the Rom, read the OP's directions for the Rom install. Each one may have slightly specific directions. If you go to the development section there are stickies which will answer all your other questions. Vincom has some very good ones. If you use the xda app look in the middle of the screen at the top for the sticky. If your on your computer look for the push pins on the lower right hand corner.

I have the note 2 with hellybean running on it. It's also cwm and cyanogen.
Now...I know so little about all if this. Keep that in mind as you read.
I went to install paranoid android a while back and somehow in the process I wound up with what appeared to be cyanogen as the OS on my phone. I didn't keep it long because I wanted to try out paranoid android.
I can't seem to get back to that.
So cyanogen mod, that's not a ROM? Is it firmware? A kernel?
Can I just get rid of hellybean and just run cyanogen? Because for the two minutes I was running it, looked pretty sweet.
Please jump on in and give me the scoop. Perry

Cyanogen Mod is a Rom And it uses its own kennel Some roms are based on cyanogen If you want to use pure cyanogen go to the official site n download it :thumbup:

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.

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?

then try to install cyanogen (i already did)

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.

Just root and use xposed. I used to put custom ROMs on other phones. For this xposed is all that's necessary

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.

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?
