[Q] confusion Stock Firmware vs Stock Custom ROM - General Questions and Answers

Stock Firmware vs Stock Custom ROM. A confusion for many years i have for all Android Phones i rooted (Samsung, LG, Sony)
For example:
my Base ROM is IceCreamSandwich (ICS), because it was easy to Root & Install Recovery on ICS.
Then i have flashed JellyBean (JB) Stock based Custom ROM on it.
now on reboot 1st LG logo on very start says (ICS version) but later it boots into JellyBean ROM.
My Question is:
does firmware ICS still has any effect on Phone? or now only JB ROM (stock based modified ROM) has full control of mobile??

Install the last fw is always a good road... maybe first you can read others experience s

For example:
I have 2 LG mobiles one is on Base Stock Firmware GingerBread with on top Stock based Custom ROM JellyBean 4.1.2
my 2nd mobile has Base Stock Firmware ICS with on top Stock Custom ROM JellyBean 4.1.2
My Question is:
does having GB vs ICS vs JB firmware makes any difference for Recovery?...or installing main JellyBean Custom ROM on top cancels effect of firmware on it???
i mean having latest firmware improves battery and radio/mobile/wifi signals?

Gingerbread verses ICS Battery life is very different, ICS and up will give you better battery life, its always best to have the latest android version on your phone because more apps will work with your device the higher it is.

it might be that the jellybean rom is not jelly bean or it just kept the ics logo

[Q] Base Stock - any ideas?

Hey Guys!
I am on Froyo 2.2.2 TMobUK stock rom.
I want to install the best stock rom thats not above my official version (so I can easily revery back for warrany).
By best i mean fastest and most stable.
Is there a barebones stock rom and if so does it matter over a normal rom considering I will apply miui or cyano on top.
Any help would help.
Thanks!

Well there is one little thing we need to know? How important is the phones camera to you?
There are ROMs which are based on stock and have modifications to speed up your phone and apply one theme.
But there are also ROMs which are based on another android version and they use open source drivers. (MIUI; CyanogenMod, short CM) Unfortunately the camera and some other little things (e.g. Hardware supported HD video playback) are currently not working as they should. But they go some steps further in terms of speed and customisation.

Well, it's a long time ago that I've installed a stock based cROM. But one I would try would be:
vurrutROM for XXKPU with vurrutKernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451218
Guides for installing cROMs and updating to XXKPU are all found in the development section...
P.S. There is really no need to create thousands of threads, this only makes everything confusing and splits the discussion. This is no chat room, so it can take some time untill you get an answer. I will report the threads to a mod so that he can merge them...

[Q] Custom Rom 10.6.1.8

Hi guys! I installed Android 4.2.1 on my unlocked Asus tf300t...now i have 10.6.1.8 I cand flash custom roms on this build? If not I must downgrade on Android 4.1.1...How? Please Help me
The only custom Rom for the JB 4.2 from Asus is atm NRG -if you want to flash others you have to downgrade to .20 or less (4.1 Bootloader). There's a guide from pjc21 in the general section that describes this steps way more detailed...
So I can flash ,,The Energy Rom" on this build?...Sorry I am new on this build

yeah, NRG released a 4.2.1 version of his rom, Energy, it's a rather smooth stock rom, if you wanna say with Cyanogenmod or AOKP, then you're S.O.L for now until Asus releases a kernel source.
CleanROM Inheritance 4.0 will be released tomorrow (hopefully) which will be based off JB 4.2.1 and you have the right requirements

thanks for help.
i dont know why stupid sony not release android 4.2 for this device or 4.3 cos i think that 4.4 kitkat will be not supported or ?
second which ROM is stable and good for this machine so can i use cyag mod and any other ROm ?
OK, pick one here:
Fastest ROM: XboosT (Android 4.0, stock based, extremely minimal)
Fastest JB ROM: Termin (Android 4.1, stock (soon CM) based, recommended)
Most customizable ROM: CM10 (Android 4.1, CM, video recording and compass don't work)
If your bootloader is locked: Stock ICS (Android 4.0, stock, fastest stock ROM)
If your phone is dual SIM and you want JB: CM10 (Android 4.1, CM, video recording doesn't work)
I suggest you just go with Termin, it's easier to flash then CM10. Very good performance aswell

NO,NO either "TERMIN OR CM10" not TERMIN then CM10
termin is stock based so not much bugs
cm10 is fully custom ,smooth but there are bugs like no video REC,random rare GSM crash

aha ok so waiting for KITKAT 4.4 official or unofficial CM11 kitkat
cos i read that
Code:
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/android-44-kitkat-supports-devices-running-just-512mb-of-ram-440357
so if xperia E has 512MB run it is possible that they release also kitkat for this device i think
hope that they not only give kitkat for expensive devices like Z1,Z etc...
xperia E is not very old device so pls do it google
i dont know why sleping sony not give 4.2 4.3 for xperia E

any solution how enable Automatic detection of brightness ?
No - no auto brightness, and no KitKat update as well. We'll have CyanogenMod 11 eventually, but stock KitKat? No chance.

Haha.
On-topic: you can't expect from Sony to update all their devices. It sucks of course, but don't get angry about it. Building updates takes people, and building updates for every Android model they released, takes a lot of people. Those people cost money, and Sony would lose only money if they put effort in creating KitKat for our phones.

umm..its kitkat 4.4.2
Sent from my C1605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
aha i see that 4.4.3. is newer
@MatsPunt Yes. Just yes.
Well, we still have three different Android versions available for everybody - 4.0.4, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. That's way more than, say, the Galaxy Young [basically the same thing as ours, just a smaller battery and 3.2 inch screen] or most Chinese phones.
why stupid sony not give to xperia 4.1.2 ? or 4.2 4.3

[Q] regress to a faster ROM version

I have the latest JB stock rom on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and find it to be too slow/sluggish for my liking. I'd like to regress to a faster stock ROM - say 2.3.3 GB. Not sure how to go about it or where to find it.
Thanks
