A friend of mine just got a droid 2 global and wants to install a custom rom that is very stable and fast, with no bloat. I personally am a sprint user with an EVO 4G, so looking through the development section is a little greek to me. He just rooted, and intalled CWM Recovery using something called bootstrap.. not sure what that is, but he seems to be rooted fine and can boot into CWM just fine. He a few states away so I am helping him by telephone.
Can anyone suggest a good rom to install. I don't think he is looking for a MIUI type ROM as this is his first android phone and wants the real feel of the android OS. Maybe a good ROM/Kernel combo would be great. Thanks!
There are a few floating around in the Dev section..
I can not figure out how to upgrade to kit kit on my blu studio 5.5. I'm rooted already. Any help would be great thanks.

Today I read on some post found on a g+ page that the studio, and some other Blu lines, are getting kitkat on May 1st, 2014. No ROMs anywhere around that I can find for this device, just sites that are scam sites trying to infect you. Was hoping CyanogenMod, aokp, or paranoid android would have a ROM available, but nope.
I'm actually trying to build my own ROM for the Blu Studio 5.0S (my family all have the same phone now, and I previously had us on Concur One, but there's so much bloatware in there that isn't neccessary it's absurd -- these things have 1GB of RAM, and yet we have less than 1/3 of that to work with once the phone has been running for a few hours, not to mention that they dressed it up as 4.3.1 when it isn't..).
I've actually tried assembling 4.3.1_r1 manually from AOSP and loading the drivers in -- it causes a bootloop. As far as I can tell, nothing beyond 4.1.2 works on these devices thusfar (though I'd love to be proven wrong); all the ROMs that look like they're 4.2 or 4.3 aren't; they just edited the build.prop and other values so it reported being 4.3.1, and looked like it, but wasn't actually. Bit annoying actually.
I've not tried KitKat yet, as I can't seem to build it in any form, and I don't much like the idea of porting another ROM; I'd honestly rather maintain my own for my family based off the Karbonn S5 Stock ROM.
If Karbonn/BLU does come out with a KitKat stock though, I'd love to know that, and I'll likely be watching for it & will share it if I come across something working, would be awesome to build off that instead for my ROM.
So, I picked up another Moto G, I missed it a lot after selling. I have unlocked it, rooted it, and installed TWRP on it thus far. I tried a few ROMs, but I really like the stock GPE setup so I converted it over. I then tried to install a couple of Kernels on it, but can't get the phone to even boot.
Are there any Kernels currently out there that will work with the GPE Moto G? I would really like to tweak a few things in there, and have access to the 1.6OC.
Cheers
Aero Kernel, but it's still experimental. Make a backup and see if it works
Unfortunately it doesn't have 1.6GHz OC but the kernel is very smooth and good enough anyways

Aero Kernel works for me, see the aero kernel thread where I listed What I did to get it working.

My new kernel should work for you. Would you like to test? Its still in testing phase but the only issue I have with it now is it doesn't go into deep sleep. I am working on that today and hopefully have a new build today as well. If your interested I could send you a link.

Yes! Definitely. Once you have figured out the deep sleep issues, please shoot me over a link. I would be more than happy to test.
If it came down to it, I was going to wade through teaching myself to create one ...
Does any other kernel work with converted gpe moto g?
I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?

Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.

Hi guys
I have a old Moto g 1st gen (xt1032)
And been trying to get it running now but with not much luck.
The bootloader is unlocked and twrp installed and I installed a stock rom but it keep crashing about once or twice a day so I formatted everything and installed another rom can't remember the name right now but was comparable for my model .
And that won't get passed the black "android" screen
So been looking into it and people mention kernels but I haven't got a clue about them tbh so how can I tell which kernel I need or do they suit all ROMs
Can anyone suggest a matching kernel and rom
Cheers

I'm a lot really late but just a try a few different ROMs and make sure they say XT1032 or Falcon. ID crisis and Exodus are good 6.x ROM that are very stable. As for kernels, unless you really want to do some low level tweaks that require kernel intergretaion like Overclock, DT2W, CPU governer, etc., I wouldn't worry about it.
If you DO want a kernel I can't recommend ZERO Byte kernel by @BryanByteZ enough. Under volt/clock and over/volt clock, DT2W, it's got everything. Works great with Exodus

Sooo about that a good start is to flash the latest stock 5.1 then flash twrp and choose a 6.X rom (based on cm13) and that depends of your likes and wishes if you want a stable like rock rom i recommend AOSP+OMS 6.X/EXODUS/VanirAOSP if you want customizations there is Ressurection Remix,Dirty Unicorns and others, you just "need" to flash other kernel if you want more advanced features. This is just a recommendation for roms but lucky we have Kitkat,lollipop,marshmallow and nougat roms.
Thanks for the replies guys
I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem on the phone.
I installed 3 versions of stock 5.1 on it last night
Eu,Brazil,and US I think they were they all install without errors
But only the Eu one boots up the other 2 stay on the "android" black screen.
The one that does boot us unstable though and crashes quite often .
That's why I thought about kernels and maybe it was that as I'm not sure if I need a certain one on my phone or any compatible one will do.

Well I already passed on that I change my bootloader to the one from BR stock 5.1 and now everything works fine. Try to change data partition to f2fs file system.
