It depends on the ROM you choose to install. Some ROMs have no more features than stock but have code optimizations that can give you better battery, audio, or just a speedier experience. There are other ROMs that give you features yo never even knew you wanted lol.

O.O I didnt saw that... O.O

There are many benefits of using a custom ROM: better performance, battery-life and customisation to name a few.
As for custom rooms, you've got me there.

[Q] BEST ICS ROM FOR NEXUS S(i9020/i9023)

Hello ,
I have a Nexus S i 9023 and i have installed many different ROMs but I don't know which is the best . Please inform me about your opinion.
I am talking about ICS Roms and you can also post benchmarks to help me deside.
Now istalling GummyNex 0.7.7 I Will tell you what I think of it. Achter installimg of course. But it should have a lot of tweaks hand stuff!!

I think KANGY11 is the best. I've tried many but that one beats everthing. Try it with Glados 2.9 and you will have a excellent batterylife!

for me Apex by Bigxie is Da Bomb
CyberGRv7 ICS Rom is MINT!!
I'd say CyberGR's v7 as well, have it on my own nexus, works like a charm
15½ hours on battery , still 74% battery left.
I'm agree. I use CyberGR V7. It's a great ROM. I've tested some another, but I have great battery/perf/functions with CyberGR.
I really like CyberGR v7. Has been pretty stable (I have not experienced any reboots or FCs), really fast and good battery life.

Have you upgraded to Apex 1.0.2 yet? I tried, but after flashing my wifi worked great but 3G would not connect.
It's hard to say "this ROM is best!" for anyone, it depends what your looking for in a ROM. If battery life is your main concern, I'd second CyberGR v7.
Performance? Personally I like Codename Android with matr1x kernel (mainly because of 1.46Ghz OC.)
Bugless petes for best of everything!

Damn. Figured out what happened here. I checked my APN. Set it and it works great now.

I'd give my vote to CyanogenMod 9 (v3.4 atm). Get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035. I used to use MIUI but switched to CM when ICS came out and have still not found a reason to search any further.
I've gone from CyberGR v7 to Oodie's MIUI and now on nuhetri v2.3.0.
I think MIUI is still a bit laggy, but it's coming through fast.
Nuhetri is working pretty good for me. A would still need to check battery life on it, but it's pretty fast!
Nuhetri or cna v1.4.0 ! I have cna atm with air kernel 3.3 overclocked to 1400mhz. soooo smooth! And batterylife is pretty good

Which rom are you talking about?
The best rom so far is cybergr with air kernel. Great battery and no lag

Hard to say which ROM is the best because they all have their pluses and minuses. Same can be said for kernels; each kernel will perform differently according to which ROM you choose. I'd suggest reading through the ROM ops and selecting the one you like based on features and theme. Once you've found a ROM you like, flash several different kernels to find one that is most compatible (also doesn't hurt to read kernel ops as well for feature details). This process, although a little more time consuming, will likely give you better results than relying on the objective opinion of others. Also, bedalas compiled some awesome reference guides on on room and kernel performance that's a must read for anyone looking to get the most out of their device.

Difference between original rom and custom rom

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'm in the same boat as you. My wife rooted her T869, and installed clockworkmod and wanted the QuickPanel mod, CRT tv animation, and custom boot animation, that she has on her T989, and when she found out that she couldn't because her rom was odexed, she flashed CM10, and while it did have some of the mods she wanted, it lacked the things she liked about the stock ROM such as the mini apps tray, the music player, and the task manager in the system settings.
She has also noticed that the font is way too small for her status bar, but overall, she misses the look and feel from the stock ICS rom. She just wants something that is exactly like the Darkside Evolution ICS 4.0.4 ROM that she has on her T989. It is based on the stock ICS ROM, but has the tweaks she wants and she has the customization options as well.
I have searched and asked if there was a deodexed/zip aligned rom based on the most recent UVLG7 update for the t869, but despite a few views, no one seems to have an answer. We have been looking into how we can try to deodex it ourselves, and our jobs takes up most of our personal time and so we've no time to learn, but we seemed to have hit a wall, and I am hesitant to ask because I don't want to be judged, warned or banned for asking what others might consider a "noob" question or ridiculed for not having the same level of experience as everyone else around here.
So, in the meantime, I just quietly wait and hope that more options will present themselves.
Actually i can learn how to deodex my tab...bcoz i done deodex my previous device...but, just deodex...i dont know how to tweaks, how to make a custom rom, how to make a custom kernel, how to make a themes(but i know how to change Jpeg file on system.ui and framework-res)...ohh god...i hope we will get dev on our section...

we got devs on our forum. but the support from samsung (the drivers especially) are very bad, they aren't released on the web. so devs find difficulty to make custom kernels.
some devs also tried porting AOKP to gtab+, just stay patient guys

That's just the minimum that are required by them to be released I think, it's not everything. ATM our CM10 relies on some binary blobs for things such as the kernel from the S3 simply because there's no source available to build yourself and there's not enough documentation to write one yourself either.

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.

Our situation with custom ROMs

Hi!
I would like to summarize our situation with custom ROMs, which aren't based on stock. We haven't got any news from ankur850 and we don't know to somebody builds any ROM. What do you think about it?

I really really hope for a Cyanogenmod ROM, I would even be willing to support it fully by donating or whatever.
maybe someone could ask arnav gosain to build one for us lol
I won't ever buy Samsung products.
They just produce in quantity and forget to sustain quality for their customers.
Next time it will be SONY :laugh:

which rom is better for core duos
i brought my new samsung galaxy core......
going to try a custom rom. wanna know which rom ism better. monster rom or samykat 4.4.2
or should i keep use stock rom
We have no custom ROM, only stock-based themed ROMs so just use whichever you find "most attractive" looking
[off-top]
I think, for starter, you should use even more emotes to emphasise your post.
