So I thought I`d give CM a try but not sure if I like it, I really don`t want to have to use the tool to completely return back to stock as it erases the internal SD card, flashing roms and wiping with Clockworkmod does not erase my internal storage so if theres a almost pure stock rom what is the best one for that? I was looking at this one

Purity ROM
Hi,
The most stock rom: [ROM] Google Nexus 5 [4.4.2] [STOCK] [10 Dec] [deodexed & odexed rom 4.4.2] or [ROM] [STOCK] Android 4.4.2 KOT49H - Rooted/Busybox/Odexed (12/10/13)...
Sorry but Purity or Cataclysm rom are far from stock, with all the features availables it's not the most stock roms (even if based on AOSP or stock).

guess its hard to flash everything except the userdata.img in fastboot for you? that will get you stock without losing data.

I get where your coming from as the nature of my question That I wanted to be stock away from stock if that makes since. I have loaded a ODEX Version of the rom I linked with Xposed & Gravitiy and running a custom kernel and things seem nice now

Viking37 is right, the STOCK rom is the closet to STOCK you will get. Just download one of the two roms he linked and flash it like any other (custom) rom in CWR
This seems to be a "best ROM" thread that being said... Most ROM's have the "stock look: that you are looking for they just have extra options under settings. You don't have to change any of them. I recommend purity. I stay away from CM (just not a fan).

I have tried cognition and perception, both awesome and fast ROM's from Designgears. Both ROM's stay on the cutting edge but of course that means there will be bugs. Both Rom's are updated frequently but most of the updates come via a full flash and data wipe. Personally I use my phone for business and need a stable, mostly bug free, phone that doesn't require me to flash, wipe my data and reconfigure everything on a regular basis. I simply don't have the time.
I recently switched to Serendipity which has been the best ROM experience of my phone flashing life. While not as cutting edge as Disigngear ROM's it is very current and extremely fast. There have been reports of small bugs by some users but nothing that I have personally experienced or effected my use of the phone. Updates to fix these bugs are release quickly and are always done as an update not a full flash. Only major releases involve a full flash and a data wipe.
Serendipity is extremely fast, even faster than the Designgear ROM's. My GPS works almost perfectly. The ROM is aesthetically pleasing as well.
I am looking forward to see what other's have to say about some ROM's I have not tried yet. I am pretty sold on Serendipity but if there is something better than I am willing to give it a try.

you do not have to master clear for any rom...its an old wives tale!
its on your /sdcard dude....seriously. you should not be flashing if you have not read about these basics first.
How is this thread still up? Well gotta say pheonix IMHO is just amazing! Gotta love that Green! But keep trying ROM's till you find the one you like, always remember you can re-theme if you like the speed too.

Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?
please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock
This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine
Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?
Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?
you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section
Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?
did you touch the android to begin?
Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

Restoring system app data I would avoid, but to restore user apps use titanium backup. Its free and great if properly used. Just set your filters to make sure you don't include any system apps on your batch backup. And when you restore the apps, I would batch restore the apps and then restore the app data only for apps where you actually need to restore app data.
And don't tell Scott I recommended backing up and restoring.
To the guy scared of borking, don't worry its a good file.

Once again, its a stock rooted ROM. Nothing more. Its not a custom ROM. There are no tweaks or no mods, etc. You can provide all the feedback you want. There will be no changes because its stock.

TB Doesnt like this root method. Clear TB data and SuperSU data. Make sure you update binaries in Super SU then set the default permissions to allows allow. Other than that I have no clue. I get root with every app no problem.

2 starsss. no way it is the best Stock ROM around IMO.
I just rate it 5X.
BTW TB works fine here, it acquires root w/o problem.

I know man... Some people are quick to downgrade something when they dont know how to use it. lol
Some peoples kids!
One possible nice addition would be 4in1 power buttons, even if it was hidden somewhere so the wife couldn't accidentally hit it.. The ability to jump to recovery would be nice since it's pissy to do it the hardware "button"/cold way. I know it's stock, and I greatly appreciate it. I have it loaded for my wife, but jumping to recovery from the device without issues, another app, or a tool kit would be nice. Just an idea. Thanks.
Going to check this out, just want something stock and speedy. CM10 was a bit too unstable for me at the moment. Thanks for the ROM!

I agree with you, taking everything back to stock is a good idea. Not sure where you are located, but it should be easy enough to find the stock RUU for your phone/carrier. When you install the RUU, it will automatically include the stock recovery as well.

The answer is in my signature.
Since you've just unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device, a factory reset from settings or from the stock recovery should suffice!
If you have removed apps and changed files then flashing stock factory images would be good. You can find all the steps in the stickies at general section!

You can use an app like 360 security to frequently clean up things and you will notice a difference.. Your device wont get bogged down.. Has a little floating blue icon that tells you when you need to clean and you just drag it down and it does its thing. Great app imo! [emoji106]
