First of all, I'm TRULLY sorry if I'm posting this thread anyhow mistaken.
It's way too complicated for begginers like me to understand the right thread or forum to place questions about devices and stuff like that.
I've searched a lot of threads related to my device but I couldn't find the correct answer to my question, so here I am.
Well, let's see: I have an Asus Zenfone 2. Really like it but I just can't stand those ****ty Asus apps that comes in every device of the brand.
Question is: is there any way to flash the stock rom (I REALLY love the features and settings Asus has on its cellphones) without most of those apps (that, basically, just occupies space and memory) or maybe even choosing which ones I want to install? That would be awesome and I appreciate any help that might come in handy!
Many thanks!

Perhaps it's completely obvious that they do but I just wanted to check before I flashed my phone later as I really like the Android Market.
Cheers, Roy.
Ok first of all. Try look at the forum name, it is called Sapphire android development. Your topic has nothing at all to do with it.
Second of all, why would you think the other ROMs would NOT include the market?
First of all, I put it in this section as it relates to the ROMs being cooked here. Silly of me to think it may be related.
Second of all, it was a simple question, I hadn't seen it mentioned in the threads for the other ROMS and just wanted to double check before I flashed my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Third of all, Bulbasaur beats Squirtle!!
Yes they do include the android market. If needed use market enabler to show paid apps if not supported in your country.
There, that wasn't hard to answer was it. So many quick to criticise on here instead on helping. I remember when it was a community...(drifts off into fond memories of the WM forum days with my XDA II)
I know mate. Back when I used to use this forum to Flash my HTC touch diamond people were always more then happy to help.
At the end of the day, if I've got a question then I'm going to ask it. Better I do that rather then I don't ask and end up bricking my £200+ phone!
Anyways it's Friday
Agreed. Anyway, the dev forum is usually the most active, and most likely to get your question seen,

I realy dont know why if you dont like the question dont answer it, its not hard
politeness hurts no one.
I am yet to find any rom without Market and doubt I ever will
This forum is getting flooded by the same questions over and over again, because people can't find out how to use the search function, also that question - if you think about it was a bit stupid. Seriously why would a ROM maker NOT include the android market? None of the ROMs I have tried includes it. And IF it was excluded it would be easy to take the apk file from another ROM and just put in the /system/app folder - how hard can that be?
I advise you to try it the hard way, you always have the possibility of doing a nandroid backup and restore it.

now now no need for all that! use a bit of tact mate. the guy asked a question and yes you answered but in the wrong way! yeah he should have searched and maybe thought before asking but he did and he didn't need to be told off. man this place is rapidly going down hill and its sad. back in the day people could ask whatever they wanted over and over again and the reply was always friendly. its a matter of choice so refrain from responding in future in sort a manner....... seriously don't defend your actions just realise they were a bit harsh and chill! this is a share and help forum and people seem to forget that!
Bad day.......

Hello,
I am looking at sub-$100 android tablets, and am wondering if any of them are any good. I know not to expect $300-$500, but some of these things have to be alright. Which ones can you install clockwork mod and which ones have custom rom support? How would you even find that, considering how inaccurate most of the descriptions can be?
I am looking at a specific tablet, but XDA rules prevent me from posting links because I havent posted enough.
Thanks!
(yes, i have done some searching, if there are any threads i have overlooked, can someone please link to them, instead of just telling me to search?)
I am fairly lost on the process for updating my nook tablet 16GB to CM7 or CM10. This forum is like an information overload for a noob like me.
Two things I want to accomplish:
(1) Decide on CM7, CM9, or CM10
(2) Once I decide, update my nook
This is going to be a family tablet. Kids (older than 10) might use it a lot. I have read that CM10 is too unstable right now (especially for kids to use). Is this still true? I got the impression from this thread that there may be vast improvements:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217
Cam someone tell me which version has the best combination of stability/performance? Is CM10 even close yet? Not crazy about the idea of going with gingerbread.
So, once I have decided, its not clear how I should update my nook. Are there simple instructions somewhere?
I'm sorry if I offend with this post, but it needs to be said - to you and the hundreds of other newbies coming on here with similar questions ...
If you can't figure out the basics of what you need to do by reading the information already posted across the existing threads on your device's forums then you should not even consider trying to do anything other than leave it well alone on the 'Stock' build.
The potential to break your nice, new, shiny device and find yourself in a position where you cannot recover it is high unless you are sure what you are doing, and the benefits really aren't enough for what you are trying to achieve.

Your post does not offend me. I think I can figure out the basics. That's not a fair assumption about me. The problem is that I am seeing a lot of info on the web, and it is a little difficult for me to separate what I need from what I don't need. I see a lot of different info about which sd card to use or how the sd card needs to be formatted, etc, etc.
I just need one set of instructions that seems to work for most people.
But that only addresses one of my questions. The other question is whether CM10 is mature enough at this point or not?
Hi all,
Long time reader of the forums here since I had one of those old and clunky Windows PDA's. I used to mod the PDA's and older Win mobile 5 and 6 phones. I'm on my 2nd Android, the Skyrocket and have had it for abover 2 years now. So far it's the best phone I ever had. I had to start a new account cuz I couldnt remember my username. Yeah I'm getting old...
Anyway, I have had a battery issue since doing the very first OTA update. I have checked everything using multiple guides including the ones here. Either I have a bad battery or a signal issue. When sleeping for 8 hours I lose about 10%. I had the SD card issue and the Play/location services issues but fixed those, I also fixed all wakelocks and it goes into deep sleep. When in the house my signal bar under battery in settings is all grey unless I go outside then it's green. I really dont do all this modding anymore so I never flashed a rom on it. I did just flash my Transformer TF300T (usinf CROMI-X 5.4) tho so I am familiar with the process. So I figured I woulkd flash a new ROM and/or a radio onto the i727. I have been reading all day about flashing the rom and reading about the various roms availabe. most, if not all seem to be AOSP based and in beta. Also they state in the post they require CWM abd not TWRP. I'm looking NOT to do daily or weekly uodates.
I'm looking for:
- stock based ROM that's stable
- no bloat from AT&T or Samsung
- preferably without Touchwiz
- extra modifications are okay (I love extra goodies as long as their useful)
- able to use TWRP 2.7.0.0 as that's what I'm using now (I read TWRP is easier to use and that's what I want)
Android verion 4.1.2 or later
Basically I want to do a Nandroid, do a Ti Backup and backup all my files then flash the rom and restore my crap and that's all. No upodates, nightlies or anything else. Finding a stable stock based ROM was easy on my Asus but can't seem to find much of anything for my phone. I've been looking and reading all day and I have eye issues so now have a migraine. I would appreciate some info from all you flashers out there. If anyone could recommend several rOM's for me, with links, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Shannon
lol, if you did actually search and read you would know not ask such a question, read about the roms and decide on ur own, for the skyrocket its fairly easy, read then try them out and see if its what u want
start reading the 1stop sticky, link in my sig, everything u need is there

Sounds like your presuming I read nothing. when I did the Transformer it was easy. I found a site with a list of stock roms and a list of AOSP roms. That made it easy to read the ones i wanted to look at. On this site, or any other, I dont see any such organization of the roms. All I would like to know is which are stock ROM based. leaving a reply with a small list would have been appreciated. Then I culd read up on them. I had a bad bought with diabetes and my vision kind of sucks sometimes and I get headaches easily. Reading everything there is to read about all the roms will take me much lonhger than someone else. I know you get the similar questions all the time and you cant answer them over aand over again. I wasn't asking for a 10 page tutorial, just a few names of stock roms for me to read up on.
Thanks anyway,
Shannon
I went back and reread the 1stop sticky and say there are 6 stock roms for my phone listed there in a sea of other roms, That small list of roms I didn't notice the first time around. Are there any others besides those?
i was referring to this, did u read this in the sticky and also in the forum rules:
"Do Not Ask For A Which Is The "BEST" Rom Or Any Adjective Thereof For A Rom As The Mod Will Close It, Read About Them In The Dev Forum And Decide On Your Own."
why, because it usually/always starts a pissing war
From the moderator
The Best Rom is the one you like. Preference for Roms & features is subjective and there is no good answer
Before this becomes a Troll session, I will close
Thanks ~~~ oka1

Hey!
Newb here! I just got Lenovo p70 for the sake of battery and low price tbh. And i realized i just hate custom the launcher lenovo made, not only it looks iOS pretentious, it's actually freaking uncomfortable and i knew better when i had my nexus 7 tablet. I'm pretty sure the answers to my wonders somewhere here but i haven't been able to google anything good enough and i figured i would just ask someone experienced. So please bear with me and bother to answer a few questions:
How do i flash stock android without sd card?
Is every phone compatible with every launcher (except for custom apps)?
Where do i get stock android and what software do i need to flash it?
Can i get pc-like tabs in Chrome on mobile?
Thank you in advance!
