Hey guys,
I have flashed an ICS ROM 3 days ago, but it doesn't really work that well it was my first custom ROM I flashed in my life
But I decided to try MIUI. So I found this guy called Wajk, and he made this ROM called WIUI. My question to you guys is, can I expect the same (or even better) of a custom MIUI ROM as an official one? And even more important: Will I get the weekly updates?
Maybe some of you have had expierences with custom MIUI ROMs, should I choose the official MIUI ROM or a custom one?
Thanks guys!
P.S. Hope I'm doing this right, first time here on XDA for a long time
You'll get weekly updates if the developer updates his/hers rom every week, and you flash it again every time. But this is unlikely.
I'm myself using a custom MIUI rom, and I love it. Only problems are the built-in screenshot app doesn't work, and the Extended Settings app works neither.
Anyways, it is worth at least trying. Frankly, I think this is the best rom for my phone. All kinds of themes and lockscreens work.
Hey guys,
Just a quick question that I'm hoping someone can clear up for me. I have been flashing phones since the Vibrant and I seem to recall back then (and other phones I've had after such as the Sensation) devs would use the source of the firmware released from the manufacturer to create more stable roms and until that source was released there would be the possibility of the bugs.
I am coming from a Nexus 5 which I just used the stock rom since I wanted the OTA updates so it's been a while since I've flashed custom roms.
My question is, is the OPO the same way in the sense that in order to have more stable roms the source has to be released by CM in order to be more stable or is this a whole different beast where that isn't a necessity?
Thanks.
CM11S/CM12S is derived from the CM11/CM12 nightlies, all current ROMs are based on those CM sources, so all current ROMs are up to date. If you're flashing CM12 nightlies there's nothing extra that you need to do because firmware and modem is built in, but if you're flashing another custom ROM you need to flash the appropriate firmware and modem before flashing the ROM.
Oxygen is the exception to the above information, in the sense that it isn't based on CM. Flashing Oxygen will automatically flash the appropriate firmware, but if you want to revert back you need to flash the correct firmware/modem first.

Thanks, I did not know that but it does clear some other things up.
One other question, when a Samsung (for example Galaxy S5) rom is leaked, developers will use the latest leak to update their roms but typically a rom won't be "stable" until it is based on the source that is released.
Is the OPO like that as well where the custom roms need to have a source released in order to do that (is this the google android source or CM source?), I guess I'm trying to find out the stability of the roms versus a stock rom and whether there will be more bugs in one or the other.

That's what I answered in my last reply. The CM nightlies are the source, all ROMs are built based on those nightlies (except for a couple). This phone is nothing like a Samsung or an HTC where the stock ROMs are different from the aosp ROMs or CM based ROMs. The stock ROM for this phone is the CM ROM. The stock source is always released, every single day.

Not exactly true. CM is AOSP BASED, but modified - sometimes quite a bit. In the case of CM12S - this is a ROM specific to the OnePlus One. It isn't the same as CM12. It is only for this specific phone, and has some features in it that are specific to this phone.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to install Oxygen OS, unless they have just been brainwashed by OP that CM is now bad. Well that and the fact that CM still hasn't released 12S, nor am I convinced that they ever will. They seem to be pretty terrible when it comes to keeping up with the commercial side of things... Very amateurish.

I know that CM is essentially aosp, and CM11S/CM12S is 99% CM11/CM12, with just a couple of fancy apps thrown in on top to make it seem a bit different. It really is just like a milestone release of the main CM branch, a stable release.
Not Exactly.

Not really. There are no apps of which I am aware that that put in the "S" release. But there are features specific to the needs of that device and to that user community that add value.

CameraNext, the custom lockscreen. Both apps that are unique to Cyanogen OS. I'm sure there are more but I don't run that ROM so I can't check. You can believe it or not, but Cyanogen OS is just CM with a few extra apps/features. Your lack of belief in it doesn't stop it from being true.
I am new to this forum, but have been doing some research about different custom ROMs. I was wondering if anyone has come across a custom Android Oreo that will run on the edge. I downloaded the OTA update of Oreo 8, but being new to flashing and tweaking of ROMs, I am a little nervous about playing with something that I am not sure will work. Any hekpo r information would be great. Thanks.
hey guys, been making a rom for one of my phones, and i want to be able to let everyone update over ota, but i dont want to use the ota apps and mods that lineage, carbon etc use, is there a way to change the source in the stock update manager to use custom urls to download my own custom roms?
Hello, sorry for the newbie question but I am new to the custom ROMs thing.
I'd like to install the OxygenOS Port on my X3 Pro and I am wondering if, after doing so, I'll be able to install updates OTA. Or I will have to install every future update manually.
If not possible, what good custom ROMs provide that, if any ?
Thank you
ArrowOS has working OTA updates, idk about others.
