Look for verizon stock ROM debloated with unlocked tether.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Sure there are. Have you checked the android development forum? There's RDKN and Adrenaline. Viper is stock based but offers a slew of tweaks baked in. Also, I'm sure a lollipop version of Scott's CleanRom will be here any day now that the release is official.
Look for anything that says, "sense-based" out "stock-based"
Well just stuck its not for me it's for my brother so just basic stock no bloat unlocked tethering

Not to talk down any of the others but Scott's Cleanrom always ends up about as reliable as it gets with bloat removed and minimal things added. Plus, I think he's on Verizon himself so his roms are always based on the Verizon variant which just makes it that much less likely to give a Verizon user trouble. I'd keep an eye on his thread for when he does a lollipop version for the Verizon m8. Honestly, I bet most any of the stock/sense based roms will suit him just fine.
Scott sold his VZW M8 unfortunately and the question is not when there will be a L-CleanROM but if...
And it's a big if.....
In the meantime RKDN comes darn close and Tigerstwon just released his Skydragon rom which looks very promising AND he has a version with Sense7 waiting in the wings for the M9 to be released.
The new Skydragon ROM seems really nice but there are other Sense 7 roms with much more debloat

I just bought a Samsung Blaze 4G from T-Mobile, rooted it, downloaded some apps. I've heard that you can update a lot of devices to a newer OS prior to the official release with rooting. So now I am wondering if I can update this phone to ICS (Jelly Bean would be better if possible?), are there any ROM's of ICS for this phone. If not what ROM's are available (CyanogenMod), it would also be nice if you could explain me how exactly install custom ROM's and where is the best place to download them. Also will there ever be an official update from T-Mobile of ICS. This is my first Android device, I used to own an iPhone and knew how to do all of that jailbreaking and cydia stuff but this is different. Thanks for your help.
Best start reading.
In short: No ICS yet (I suspect not for another month or two, if ever) and all ROMs are in the Development section. We have an unofficial CM7 with a buggy camera.

If you want something stable I would suggest either dark knight or tweaked, although I have never tried Jedi mind tricks it looks stable though

I am running the latest version of ICS. I tried the CM10 rom but found that it was unstable and had a lot of things missing or not working compared to ICS. Anyway, with all the JB Roms popping up in the past few weeks,are there any out there that are better or more stable? I have been waiting for AT&T to release JB for HOC but as usual they are taking forever. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Viper3.1 and it doesn't get much better than that. It's my opinion though. I would also suggest CM10.1. I loved it but I personally got an odd glitch where my screen would go black but the phone was still on, as were the capacitive buttons.
Anyone here is going to give you opinions. It's truly up to you to pick. The 2 I listed are great ROMS, stable and have awesome developers who stay on top of things.

I don't expect the AT&T version of JB to be substantially different (probably just more bloat and annoying AT&T branding all over the ROM, really) than any of the stock rooted Sense JB ROMs in Development, or custom ROMs based on those build. So flash one of those and be done with it.
In my opinion you're not going to find anything coming from AT&T as far as JB that's going to be better than the ROMS in development. If anything they are far better. Download a bunch, try them out and stick with the one you like best.
King Kang is super stable for me. Everything works.
King Kang has been the most stable I've tried. Pretty much every rom I've seen on here is livable though. I'm on CM10.1 now and I haven't had any real problems.

Giving my wife the White Galaxy S3 Verizon for Xmas and wanted to get recommendation which stock based ROM to install?
1. Hyperdrive
2. Jelly "Beans"
3. Axis
4. stock Verizon 4.1.2
5. other 4.1.2 based
I'm primarily interested in rock solid stability, and some of the Touchwiz experience. She might be getting the Note 3 in the future so I want her to get used to using some of Samsung apps. I have a second S3 for me and I'm testing 4.4 roms, currently installed CyanFox. So please keep discussion relevant to 4.1.2 roms and experience. I know 4.3 is out for Verizon, but I'll wait for Devs to build it into ROMs.
thanks and see visist my blog

Lol! Can't go wrong with those.
Light and clean (more optimized, less theming):
Tkrom, bonestock, cleanrom, obsessed
More heavily modified (extra mods and themes,):
Hyperdrive, goodness, axis, jellybeans, moar, wicked sensations, the people's rom
I'm maybe leaving a few out, but look them over and see what you want. If you want something simple and easy you can't go wrong with the top 4.
Some phones handle roms better than others, so if one isn't working out well then don't be afraid to try another.
I also want to point out that you have to make sure your wife's phone isn't on the 4.3 base (vrucml1). If it is, do not flash any custom roms, that bootloader is completely locked down.

I've tried every single 4.1.2 TW rom out there, and my phone seems to run the best (least "Touchwiz" lag) on Hyperdrive with faux kernel. Completely stable, too. I also like the multitude of changes you can apply. However, you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all are great!
Like the above comment mentioned, make sure the OTA wasn't taken, although you probably know this.
They are all great, try them all.
As XDA is not a support site, users are expected to make this determination based on their own, individual use.

I have had many phones in the past and I always root and flash cm/aokp/etc roms. But for some reason I love the stock lg ROM. The only problem I am haven't is no one is making kernels for the 4.4.2. Rom and I don't want to back track too 4.2.2.
Has anyone switch to the asop ROM and has been happy with it?

well you do need to remember that 4.4 just came out about a month ago but it rolled out slowly and even now there are devices which haven't been updated yet plus the kernel needs to be modified to support the old boot and thus supporting custom recovery so people would need to incorporate that and the stuff they used in there previous kernels so we must be patient, plus today I saw the first kk kernel surface sadly it was for t-mo but that means can get one soon too
Edit: seems dorimanx might finally start working on kk kernel
Yea having a nexus 4 spoiled me by bad. But the nexus 5 is "half" the phone the g2 is. I'm currently looking at the cloudy roms something that doesn't have a lot of bloat in it but I can't live with out these features lg has incorporated in this rom

I've read a lot of good feedback on the the cloudystock and cloudypro plus I think the nexus is kinda bland in development sure it has a lot roms but there all the same aosp here there is variety flex/pro 2 and good devs/people

I've always run CM (since OG Evo) but I was pretty impressed with the G2 stock system. LG has one of the most bloated interfaces on the market, but the camera app was really good.
I pretty much immediately put CM on it, and I'm pretty happy. For one thing, the very important knock-on and knock-off work very well with CM11 M4. The camera isn't quite as good as it is from the stock rom, but it is solid. Certainly a step up from my Nexus 4 on CM.
I might go back and try the LG rom again some more, good luck.
I've tried a couple AOSP-based Marshmallow ROMs and none of them have the option to update Profile and Prl for Sprint. I know by definition AOSP shouldn't have this, since it's something propietary however is there a zip out there one can flash to bring this capability? I don't know if it's possible to take whatever allows this in the Factory Image and make it an add-on for all devs to possibly offer for their ROMs. But that would be .
Every aosp ROM I've used has it. Even the one marshmallow ROM I tried.

That's stock based. AOSP based is the custom roms people build. I tried the chroma beta marshmallow rom and I couldnt even get data on sprint so i'm assuming there was an apn issue as usual. I'm waiting on Twisted Team to release their marshmallow rom because their lollipop rom worked pretty damn good on sprint.
Yea AOSP-based is what I meant.
Thanks for recommending Twisted!
I'm waiting for their M release.

People build custom ROM's based on stock and AOSP.

Update on a stock rom. The prl and profile stick. Only caveat is if you have trouble you have to flash back to stock to do it again. The only reason to have to do this is if your data stops working for some reason.

i just updated to cataclysm mm and it has the prl and profile update under more-cellular network-carrier settings. nice rom.

To be fair I think people add apks to most roms based on stock image and actually modify it very little, with the exception of cataclysm, which is heavily modded. AOSP based roms dont have Update Prl/Profile functionality by default because that comes with Sprint's proprietary software (just some additional apks) that needs to be added in.
