Hello all,
I have a sidekick 4g with stock ROM.
I want to flash a custom ROM, but at the same time don't want to lose the Sidekick UI. I love the UI since its unique.
1) Are there ROMs which retain the Sidekick UI?
(Gingerclone looks similar to the Sidekick UI)
2) If majority answer is YES to the above question,
Are there ROMs which go for the Android Vanilla look (away from SKG UI)?
3) What are the gingerbread ROMs available?
4) Is there an ICS port available?
5) What are the pros and cons of having a custom ROM?
6) Will there be random reboots after installing custom ROMs?
Please help! (Basic questions, I know )

1) Several ROMs have the stock UI.
2) I've seen tons of custom themed ROMs, but I'm not sure about vanilla Android ones.
3) There are no Gingerbread ROMs available.
4) There are no Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs available.
5) The pros tend to be better stability and performance. Since we haven't been able to build a fully custom ROM from AOSP/CM/etc, we're limited to tweaking the stock ROM. In stock form our ROM is pretty buggy and loaded down with crap. Custom ROMs tidy it up.
6) Depends on the ROM.
I suggest MrKickstand's Back To The Basics. It retains the stock theme and speeds things up.

The current version has a few minor bugs, but you can fix them yourself. I noted a few of them and their solutions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22547395&postcount=80
Thank you so much, Jax! Now I'm game to try out Kickstand's TRON ROM! Tron theme is an added incentive!!

Hi Forum, i don't know if this is the right section to ask, but i would like to know if there's a way to apply a custom CM Theme to a stock ROM.
I already know about HK Theme Manager Xposed module, but it only finds themes with the old CM Engine, not the newer ones.
I would like to have the Android L theme over my stock ROM, because in this moment there isn't a custom rom that satisfys me.
Thanks in advance for the answers
I've been searching through the S6 forums and haven't come across what I'm looking for and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am currently using a Sprint Galaxy S6 and running an outdated custom rom ("Ramified OH1" and UniKernel v8), however this was the only option at the time to get a deodexed rom to run Xposed. What I'd like to do at this point is revert my phone to a stock rom based on the latest official release and have it deodexed so Xposed will still work. (I'd also like to try my hand at theming eventually)
My trouble is, all I can find is a handful of custom roms with mods I don't care for (I don't see why anyone would want a centered clock or this 3minit mod...I don't find either appealing) and a few semi-stock roms that don't match my current firmware version, so I don't even know what's safe to flash at this point.
In some ways, I'd also be satisfied if there was an AOSP or similar rom that would work on the S6, although I'd rather not lose the quicksettings bar that is part of TouchWiz roms. (At this point, the quicksettings bar is the only TouchWiz feature I care about, so I'd be happy with raw Android so that more Xposed mods could work)
I'd appreciate any suggestions or help that the community can offer on this issue.
At the very least, if anyone is familiar with theming an S6 nearly-stock rom, I'd appreciate the help to make some changes to some elements of my current rom to get a style I might like better.
Most of the rom found here are just copy and paste with small edit.
In the lineage os based roms all roms are same including same bugs, only the theme is newly installed and new name is given to the rom, who needs it? just to chill the developer heart rom is downloaded that's all. Developers stop wasting your precious time in creating junk rom.
Stop creating junk Rom and Create a proper official or unofficial lineage os rom without bug and making fp gestures and ultra power save key customisable.
Finally
Developers create only
1--------lineage os Rom
2-------Paranoid android rom
3-------Aosp rom
4-------ressurection remix Rom (los based)
5-------AEX Rom (aosp based)
We just need a Stable Rom, and not a rom with full of bugs, if we want themes we will try subtratum, and create our own theme with ThemeDIY.
Better luck !! Any mistake let me know it in comment section.

Haha how much extra hour battery life you get?
What different feature? WhAt's new?
Most of android 7.x is same as another 7.x nothing is new, it's just a copy and paste.only user interface is different because of theme that's all. Developers Better don't waste your precious time in copy and paste.
Every rom has its own pros and cons, but for creating new rom based on something the existing Rom with bug can be solved.
I started creating a custom rom myself.
WE DON'T WANT REPLACEMENT ROM, ALL WE WANT IS RELIABLE ROM OR NOTHING. ✌✌✌
Its so much true in your statement. But you must remember, don`t like it = don`t use it. It`s xda, the biggest android community in Internet, everybody can share their work here (of course if its not against rules). Your right is to use only what you like to use. Of course its better to have only few, but rock solid roms, than 100 buggy crappy sh**... But do you think this thread could change anything? Good luck, finger crossed, but unfortunately I think that this place will be quite hot battleground. Regards
