After trying every rom on earth I think the perfect rom for me would be an officially stock rom (debloated) with an overclocked kernel (and more) and the T-mobile theme engine. I understand that as these stock roms become more complex it takes longer to make the custom roms bug free. It would be great if a group out there start making roms with just a custom kernel and theme engine added. You can call the rom T.E.K. Rom short for Theme Engine Kernel Rom. Can somebody do it. Also can someone add the T-Mobile theme engine to the SnowJB rom, I would much appreciated it?
Hi Forum, i don't know if this is the right section to ask, but i would like to know if there's a way to apply a custom CM Theme to a stock ROM.
I already know about HK Theme Manager Xposed module, but it only finds themes with the old CM Engine, not the newer ones.
I would like to have the Android L theme over my stock ROM, because in this moment there isn't a custom rom that satisfys me.
Thanks in advance for the answers
Hi guys!
I've been away from installing new roms for a while, xt1032 8gb single sim, currently on crdroid kitkat version.
I want to install some 5.02 rom, but I don't know which one. Could you recommend some for a daily driver, non-gamer user, camera good, gps working, xposed working?

i've got two reccomendation
personal preference : android ice cold project
it's up to date with sources, and also adds some features like integrated supersu, slimlauncher, theming engine, and fully customizable quick setting
or if you want to go along with the mass, just use official cm12
though i've yet to try xposed with both of them, i don't want to risk it, since the creator of xposed said that it's still in alpha and therefore may or may not contain unforseen bugs.
I think I'll go with aicp
One more thing, if I make a crdroid nandroid backup from cwm, will I be to go back with cwm restore if I'm not satisfied with aicp?
Hey guys, you who used stock 5.1 and custom ROMS that are having the latest Android version (5.1.1): what differences do you notice?
As we all know 5.1.1 is the latest version which fixes the memory leak, and Moto is still a version behind on 5.1.1: stock only is Android 5.1.
How would you compare stock to the latest Android version with the latest bugfixes and memory leak fix?
Would it be possible that Moto backported 5.1.1 fixes to stock 5.1?
Can a moderator edit "bases ROM's" to "5.1.1-based custom ROMS? I made a typo

It is more a question of CM12.1 vs Stock ROM.
With the Stock Motorola Lollipop you have (at least in theory) a bug free ROM, it will work in every situation and scenarios.
Where with a custom ROM you will have more experimental features, a more tunable kernel and settings (that can either improve or break a ROM) and, to be honest, more support as they update almost every week where Motorola go very slow.

Yeah that's true. I was just wondering if the 5.1 version still has the memory leak which was resolved in 5.1.1. Also, CM12 based roms don't support notification tickers anymore, not even through Xposed so that's a bit pity too. But they do have features you can't find in stock or Xposed.
Just wondering which ROM gives the best performance, CM12 or optimized stock or just plain AOSP without any tweaks.

I can't say if Motorola fix the Memory issue or not. I can say too that some CM12.1 ROMs did have memory issues even at 5.1.1 but i think all are gone now.
About performance, a custom ROM for sure will bring you that. I'm not a big fan of motorola "optimizations" for our devices, in fact i would say they don't do at all.
It all depends really, you could get stock 5.1 with moggy kernel v12 which is very smooth being a linaro based kernel with other optimizations as well. (I was running that earlier today)
But you could also get a custom ROM such as blisspop. Which is very very poorly developed on our device.
A ROM that the developer uses as a daily driver is likely to be better than stock. However you'll find ROMs such as BlissPop where the developer does not run the ROM on our device and merely syncs with latest sources and uploads the builds without testing them first.
Those ROMs are likely to provide worse performance and definitely less stability than stock. Unless of course you flash a custom kernel over it, but then you've just got a sugar coated turd. And nobody wants a turd.

YEs that is true, also there are some ROMs that are much more experimental then stable.
So a research would be need.
That being said, stock is always the safest bet but a nice custom ROM will be superior if he find one.
I'm personally very happy with Euphoria and the R35 version of the Optimus Kernel.
But you (@Sparubens ) would need to flash all the roms to find the one who fit you better, stock and non stock
It's worth considering the difference in Battery-life of Stock Firmware / ROMs in comparison to non-Stock custom ROMs. That could be an interesting thread.

I did flash almost every ROM here but there always seems to be an issue:
-CM12.1 is stable and fast, but doesn't have 4 tiles per row option in QS Settings and doesn't support notification ticker anymore (Xposed), SaberMod is smooth (Beeto) but there's a bug where you can't access SuperSU without dialing a code
- SlimROM wasn't a good experience when trying it to use as daily driver, sluggish and bad multitasking
- CM12.1 based ROMS like CrDroid and Euphoria I do really like, have some bugs like screen pinning causing reboot (CrDroid) and also no real Xposed support for CrDroid and Euphoria doesn't register all touches on the keyboard and makes my phone a bit hot, otherwise I would be very happy to have it as a daily driver, AICP was running okayish but there's been a bug for over a month that when opening the data quick menu, the percentage is misaligned, and it still hasn't been fixed.
- Stock 5.1 is nice, but it's a version behind 5.1.1 so that's not very nice either. Also heavily lacking in options, but I can use Xposed. Also there are 2 carrier labels on the lockscreen which makes no sense at all..
Also, in custom ROMS the torch doesn't seem to be functioning fully, the light density is not at it fullest. Sadly there seem to be some quirks with every ROM.
I'm ready to make compromises and have a ROM as daily driver which doesn't support notification ticker (basically all of them atm) but then there's also the torch issue sadly which pushes me more back to stock. But then again, nobody knows if stock still has the memory leak and opinions have been very different from person to person about stock 5.1.
Some interesting opinions over here, keep 'em coming!
@lost101 I personally think that there's no custom ROM that can match the battery life of stock, it has been impressive, surely on Lollipop.

That's why we have a lot of roms outthere, everyone can choose what match better with everyone, if you want something without issues choose stock, but don't have the optimizations options, if you prefer the options, choose the one you consider is better, but always have to sacrifice something

I've been searching through the S6 forums and haven't come across what I'm looking for and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am currently using a Sprint Galaxy S6 and running an outdated custom rom ("Ramified OH1" and UniKernel v8), however this was the only option at the time to get a deodexed rom to run Xposed. What I'd like to do at this point is revert my phone to a stock rom based on the latest official release and have it deodexed so Xposed will still work. (I'd also like to try my hand at theming eventually)
My trouble is, all I can find is a handful of custom roms with mods I don't care for (I don't see why anyone would want a centered clock or this 3minit mod...I don't find either appealing) and a few semi-stock roms that don't match my current firmware version, so I don't even know what's safe to flash at this point.
In some ways, I'd also be satisfied if there was an AOSP or similar rom that would work on the S6, although I'd rather not lose the quicksettings bar that is part of TouchWiz roms. (At this point, the quicksettings bar is the only TouchWiz feature I care about, so I'd be happy with raw Android so that more Xposed mods could work)
I'd appreciate any suggestions or help that the community can offer on this issue.
At the very least, if anyone is familiar with theming an S6 nearly-stock rom, I'd appreciate the help to make some changes to some elements of my current rom to get a style I might like better.
