Only thing i can think of is the kernel, everything else can pretty much be done with xposed.

But you can still flash a Kernel over the Stock ROM...

Right, i mean the question is kinda moot anyway if you're rooted you might as well flash a rom and kernal or just stay with a stock rom.
Honestly this really is a question you need to ask yourself. If having Xposed is able to give you everything you need then stick with it. One thing custom can give you over Xposed mods is the ability to have modifications or fixes to the core of android. For example in the past issues present in the stock Nexus roms have been fixed and released in custom roms before google was able to push out an update to resolve it. Also many more performance enhacements can be done. such ans refactoring code or out right removing uneeded functions. But in the end honestly it just comes down to what works for you.
I'd like to stay mostly stock but there a few small feautures I miss from prior devices ROMs.
Most of the ROMs I have looked at on here are pretty far from stock.
Are there any that are close to stock?

I was running a stock rom with just xposed and gravity box for quite some time. It gives you ability to make a lot or just a little enhancements. It might be just what you need.
Another vote for stock plus xposed framework. Everything you want and nothing you don't

I agree. I am running Cataclysm which is very close to stock. Might be one to check out if you want a new ROM. But xposed with gravity box gave me pretty much all the same features that I used from cataclysm.
Might be better to post this in the Q&A section next time.
But yeah Xposed framework might help you out.

+1 for Xposed AND +1 for Cataclysm ROM.
Used and enjoyed both, stuck with Cata personally for the SmartRadio feature the Author includes :3. Art compatibility is nice too.
Thanks everyone!!
I am currently looking into both options.
Did some googling and didn't find much on SmartRadio, could you clue me in?

It's basically some logic built into the rom to control your 2g/3g/4g and Wifi connections. Automatically disable, enable, that sort of thing. You can do the same with apps, Tasker, scripts, probably Xposed too.

purity comes in a close second
Is there any way to put in the stock rom the nav bar ring that comes with some roms that allows you to make a screenshot with a swipe up, just like going to Google now with the swipe up.
CM has this, but I don't see any option for this with xposed.
Is it possible to install gravity box on stock, rooted 4.4.2 ?

Yes of course. Download the Xposed Installer app first and within that download and install the framework for it, then download the GravityBox KK module, enable it in Xposed and reboot. Wanam module is also good for minor tweaks and changes. AppOpsXposed module will allow you to change individual apps' permissions like not allowing twitter to use location for example.
Cataclysm.

+1 on this. I just saw another thread related to this request
OP, go stock, xposed, gravity box and franco kernel. Will satisfy your tinkering needs and will give you stability as well.

Thanks guys.
I decided to try out Cataclysm and Franco kernel! Cata seems close enough to what stock+exposed would be anyhow.
Did mess around with Xposed and found a cool YouTube ad blocker thing that I will def use so thanks for the heads upl.
Cataclysm and Chaos kernel!

Hey,
Is there a completely stock ROM for the Moto G with the carrier name in the statusbar + flashable zip? All of the ones available are stock but seem to have no carrier label in statusbar and I can't seem to find one that fits my criteria. Thanks.
Anyone?
Why not just use the stock firmware?? That has the Carrier Label on the status bar. Or use Gravity Box? Should be an option for that.
MoKee ROM has that option, but it's very similar to CyanogenMod.

Yes I could, but I think the stock firmware needs adb which isn't really my strong suit. I prefer the idea of flashable zips. I've tried GravityBox, nice stuff but Carbon ROM has most of that stuff anyway.
I'll try the MoKee ROM next.

It does require ADB yeah, I'm no expert with it either. The guide on restoring the stock firmware on here is pretty easy to follow though. Just a case of downloading a minimal adb zip and extracting it into the firmware folder. There's usually a script file included in the firmware folder that automates all the commands, if not you can just copy and paste.
There's not many roms I haven't tried and personally I think MoKee is the best at the moment. Paranoid Android and SlimKat are also pretty good.

I second you on this, it is a VERY good ROM and probably is the best out there with the carrier label feature - which is what I have been looking for. Thank you for showing me this one.
You're welcome.

Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.
A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Thanks for your answer Setting.Out.
Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).
Thanks

Use jira to report these issues as instructed in the OP.....
Also make sure you provide vital information to help troubleshoot these issues. Telling us that you have a bug doesn't really do much. Things like what kernel, version of the ROM, whether or not you're using Xposed and if you've done a clean or dirty flash is important
Thanks
This rom is awesome. Running great w/ Phantomr5

so i just flashed this yesterday love this rom but for some reason the keyboard is not working is anyone else having this problem just wondering

Is it in the new Version possible to change the quicksettings in the notifications drawer alone? Or are joined these quicksetting in the notification drawer with the quick settings?

I9300, DU and Bluetooth
Tried out the Dirty Unicorn ROM today, and was impressed. The only problem, Bluetooth.
My headset worked on the first attempt, but then that was that. In the car it wouldn't pair. It seems to be a general problem with the S3 and non-stock ROMs, and up till now I haven't found a solution.
With DU I got a connection, but no sound. Voice seems to work though. But as I said, the car didn't even pair.
Is there a solution to this problem, or do I have to live with no Bluetooth or only Samsung based ROMs?
Thanks in advance

Most likely due to flashing PA Gapps
Try wiping everything in recovery, flashing the ROM again and using a GAPPS package that doesn't remove the keyboard or it's libs

The headset was bought in August and the car is about 2 weeks old. With Blekota ROM both work fine.
No the problem seems to lie in that Samsung don't like to do things in a standard way, and don't let on how they do it instead.
My question was more or less has anyone manged to reverse engineer the Bluetooth driver from Samsung and find a solution? There are many suggestions out there but up untill now I haven't found one that works.

absence of network
i had converted my xt1033 moto g to xt1032 for the purpose of flashing the dirty unicorn rom. but after i first booted it i didnt get any network and dialer app wasnt working properly either(crashing). i have read the entire thread from top to bottom and found some fellow moto g xt1033 users who had wireless working.. i wonder what i did wrong because i followed the flashing guide to the letter. network doesnt work in xt1033 either.
For XT1031 Users...
If you're like me and you have the Boost Mobile Moto G and are fond of using the an alternative kernel with your ROMsl, perhaps you've been through an issue where you suddenly cannot connect to the mobile data network. Here is your fix for that. With your file explorer (having Root access, of course.), go to your build.prop which is located in System.
At the very bottom of all of the text, just simply add this.
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
Save changes and then reboot. I can now use Decepticon Kernel with this ROM.
no signal in xt1033
after flashing this rom network not detecting in xt1033.
error : "sim card doesn't allow connection to this network"
Did anyone try to add DU to multirom but fail?
I already try it but, no luck, do i need wipe all data rom on multirom?
some governor's parameters can not be modified, in spite of them being active. why is this? (pegasusq, ondemandX, and some others)
Van you provide some info about the governors?
Anyone tried to use ART with this rom? because when i convert to this runtime i lose all my google account :silly:
I don t know what I miss. But I can t find how to add dashclock widget on lockscreen (DU 8.1).
If anyone can give me a clue ! Thanks and happy Halloween !
