Perhaps I've just been out of the loop to much but, why aren't there more roms that are closer to the stock verizon rom? Obviously remove bloat but past that for compatibility sake keep the stock kernel? Most of the roms I've seen have a custom kernel or are based off another carriers information or based off gpe. Now I'm not bad mouthing those roms by any nature and am appreciative of ALL developers however was just curious as to why not that many stock kernel, minimal tweaked, debloated roms are out there?
Thanks as always to all devs and testers,

I am new to android...i had updated my galaxy fit with samsung kies with gingerbread 2.3.6. now i want to know that what is difference between original rom (which i had updated from kies) and custom rom (example: razodroid).
is there any difference between performance, battery back, etc.
pls let me know.
theres a lot of difference between them
custom roms have many extra features not available in original roms like battery backup, themes etc
u can increase peformance by overclocking
To actually experience the difference, I suggest you to try it yourself...
Believe me, you won't regret moving away from stock roms...

First difference is "Spelling" !
And then performance and a lot of tweaks which stock dont have
Stock rom is really stable than custom ones but with custom rom you get overclocking, performance, lockscreen gesture.
The real diff is stock.rom has no bugs as far as i know.

I'm currently using Fit-Sense, it's good but it's based on cynogen mod which has some bugs. Anyway i've tried Sabotage, it's good and fast. And i looking forward to try the Chocobread (heard it's quite). I personally like Fit-Sense better than Sabotage and others i've tried but i think you should try custom ROMs on your own. Don't take other's point of view, since not every one has same opinion. Anyway, tells us if you need help flashing a custom rom.
I am moving from Valhalla ROM and w'd like to ask for an expert opinion... Which one of the ROMs is 100% stable and bug free at the moment?
Not even stock GB is bug free. Here's a list of custom roms for you though:

This question makes sense to me after flashing ROM's for different model phones. Though I will say our Dev's to a fantastic job explaining the ROM's in the OP and keeping the OP's detailed and up-to-date compared to the other forums I've used.
This is - in my opinion - the ROM with the least potential for issues, amazing battery life with great performance:

Even the GB ROMs (and especially the stock one) weren't "rock stable" by any stretch.
Most of the ICS ROMs that I have looked at are using the TeamAcid kernel. The stability of those are all going to be about the same as the changes tend to be in what is included or not, and the UI theming. Pick your flavor. I have been using AOKP for about a month now as a daily driver and find it more stable than the GB ROMs, the way I use my phone.
I personally prefer the KG4 modem over the KJ6 modem as it handles long SMS messages
sorry, too bad you cant flash anything. It is too unstable. Just Kidding LOL/
I'd flash a GB rom before ICBINB was made, because the reduced slim roms seem to be unstable for me. I'd stay on valhalla

What is the difference between using a custom rom like Mildwild versus using a launcher with Cynanogenmod 7.2?
A launcher is just a simple app. It is only the "home screen." Non rooted users can install them
A custom ROM is a full OS, usually is tweaked to make the entire phone faster, have better battery life, more features etc.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
If you don't feel up to the challenge of flashing a custom ROM, then a launcher is a nice alternative and can make a stock ROM seem much smoother (I know it sure did with my old Galaxy S), but a good custom ROM will always give you better results, as it has been tweaked with and most of the time will have all the junk stripped out of it.
Hope that tells you what you need to know
Hello in my opinion the difference in Launcers and Custom ROMs is high the developers of custom roms take features from other roms and they made one rom but there it have some bugs by the way they fix them. but Launchers is the official firmware in the device probably some lags but no bugs camera-sound-call and etc I prefer custom rom because is lighter than official one
Thanks guys
I'm running Mildwild now.
But Cyanogenmod (with a launcher) vs Mildwild? whats the difference?
Cyanogenmod is a full OS that I can run on my HTC desire, Mildwild is also a full OS? What does someone like Mildwild do to Cyanogenmod?
Sorry, I just don't get it.

Mildwild is a ROM, correct? I googled and found it is a ROM based off CM, so I'm guessing the developer took CM for your device, tweaked it a bunch, and released it under Mildwild (of course giving proper credits by saying it's based off CM).
Maybe that will clear it up for you

Just don't mix launchers with custom Roms!
They have a vast difference to be compared!
Simple eg :
Custom Rom can have launchers in it! Included
Launcher cannot have custom Rom in it!
Launcher is a small part!

I was looking forward to the potential development on the S3 back when I pre-ordered, but wow this is too much. A new ROM everyday, existing ROMs updated as often, several kernels crossing carriers, mods covering everything, and so much more to come.
I don't know where to start. Not really looking for suggestions (but I will listen... ). I really just want to thank ALL the developers for all their hard work.

It's not too complicated, all roms fall into TouchWiz, Hybrid, or AOSP.
You can't go wrong with going with a TouchWiz rom based on 4.1.1 samsung's TouchWiz. Synergy is a popular rom with many features. CleanROM is a very good unbloated rom. I use CleanROM myself.
But before you do any of that you have to root it and then install the apps to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery tool. The recovery tool will allow you to flash new roms.
you seem to have done some research, heres another good guide to read if youre still in that phase.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950824
good luck!
id recommend flashing an AOSP rom for a week, and then a TW JB rom for a week an decide which one is best for you. at the moment id recommend a 4.1.2 rom if you try AOSP. its much more stable than the 4.2 roms that are currently available
I guess I should have mentioned that I am rooted and unlocked, have been for about 3 weeks, but have not done a thing except TB, and AdAway. I just keep reading different ROM and kernel threads.

Stock rom seems to be always the most stabe and daily driver
Also there is no perfect rom,it depends on what you need (stability,performance,UI.....)
For me i like non stock roms the most.., but i always choose the stock UI (in my case S3 with Nature UX).
The stock roms are indeed the most stable, but some mods are only in custom roms

If u want your android as very stable stick on stock rom and mod it...
and if you want more usability and more functions, mods and other borrowed features then you should go for custom rom...

Custom rooms is more secure, faster, more features
Stock is well more stable that's all.

I prefer using stock ROM with Deodexed and Zipaligned apps as it's more stable than custom ROMs
Stock vs Custom Rom
I prefer a super stripped down stock Rom, bloatware removed. Then add mods and tweak things to how I want.
Also Re-odexing a rom (custom/stock) after installing mods and themes will keep the rom boot up quickly
whenever I tried a stock rom (experience with Galaxy Ace, Desire, Desire HD, S2, S3 mini and S4) I feel like stock roms are slow compared to custom roms.. never modded a stock rom
I prefer custom roms. At early state the might be buggy but afterwards you have much more functionality.
for LG stock is much better than custom roms

both of stock and custom difference effect on mobiles phone,custom kernel efficient.
For GS4 i love both. Stock ROM for samsung app and features. And custom for all the tweaks ( battery life ).

Of course custom rom...
However it depends on rom's build quality. There are a lot of kind of roms.
A stable build of a rom is much more stable, better and faster than a simple stock rom with blootware
Custom rom hands down. There will be a rom that's pretty much stock but deflated and tweaked. Anyone who chooses stock over custom, let alone on xda, hasn't really done their research

its ur choice what to discuss in this??
A stock ROM will run the device as it was designed to be run. This will traditionally give you the most out of box stability and performance.
A custom ROM is meant to run the device as the ROM author intended, subject to the limitations of the device. These ROMs usually trade off performance and/or stability for new features (while sometimes disabling features from the stock ROM, typically due to non open sourced drivers).
The point of a custom ROM is to addressed perceived shortcomings of the phone. If you purchase a phone that does what you need, then you won't need to install a custom ROM. If there are no phones that handle what you need, then you get the closest approximation and run a custom ROM that addresses your needs.
On my HTC Droid Incredible (2010-2011), I wrote my own ROM so that it would perform exactly as I needed. For my Galaxy S2 (2011-2013) and Galaxy S4 GPE (2013-), I have no desire to run a custom ROM.
No one is going to be able to tell you what sort of ROM is best going to fit YOUR needs, except YOU. Everyone has different needs/wants in a ROM. The best thing to do is try different ROMs out and see which one is best for your day to day phone needs.
