Hey xda comunity. First of all, sorry for my english. I'm Peruvian, and spanish is my main language. Second, i was thinking of getting CyanogenMod 12 on this device, because is my daily driver and since I have the 8GB variant, android 6.0+ runs really bad. But I wanted to know (more like a curiosity) if i could use the lollipop stock rom system ui on the custom rom. And if not, is there any way to port it? Thanks in advance!

well actually you cannot use system ui app of another rom in some another rom because resources are located in different places and if you try to do so you will just make your device crash everytime you boot it

As I have understand ROM is only manufacturers " own look". So is it possible to somehow delete ROM and use "naked" android ?
Im using Motorola DEFY 2.2.2 (nordic nonblur version)
This could be stupid question. But yes, Im beginner in Android world
Even if you use "naked" Android, this would still be a ROM. This is what's commonly referred to as 'stock' Android.. And yes it is possible, just do a search for a 'barebones' ROM. Here's one.
A phone without a ROM is like a computer without an operating system. It may as well be an empty box.

a custom Rom (like cm7) is just a modified android firmware which has his own look and the "unnecessary" System Apps are deleted, the whole android system is customized, you have more settings...
i hope i could help you.
sorry for my bad english!

I've always wondered why they still it a ROM. In early days, smartphones and PDAs had a read only memory area which stored the Operating System(OS) of the device. This is how the word ROM came. I think this is not relevant anymore and a OS would be more descriptive.
If you swap the word ROM with the word Operating System(OS), everything will be clear. Android doesn't need ROM or OS to work because Android itself is the ROM/OS.
All devices come with a preinstalled ROM designed by the manufacturer. This is called stock ROM.
Then, there's vanilla ROM or AOSP ROM. These ROMs have the Android OS in its purest form as developed by Google. Most manufacturers add a custom interface and software in the stock ROM.
Finally, we have custom ROMs. There are extensively modified ROMs which have features and customization you can't find in custom or AOSP ROMs. These are usually for the people who want to push their device beyond its limits. It's kind of like getting a tattoo. Famous examples include CyanogenMod, MIUI and MCR.

"Android doesn't need ROM or OS to work because Android itself is the ROM/OS."
So is it possible to somehow hide/delete ROM ? I have Motorola DEFY (nonblur) and I don't really like that ROM made by motorola..

No. You still need a ROM, just think of a rom as the operating system. You can flash a rom that's what you're looking for. Look through your phone's development section & see if you can find something that you like. Then if you don't know how to flash custom roms, read about that until you understand. It's not hard to do, and I bet you'll like your phone even more once you find a rom that you like.

You can *replace* the MotoBlur ROM by Motorola with a AOSP or Vanilla ROM for your phone. This is specific to your phone and you should see the development section for your phone.
A phone will not function without a ROM. It's like the Windows or Linux in a PC. ROM is just another word for Operating System.

No rooting or modding procedure is 100% risk free. There's always a slight risk although it's very minimal.
Most often, even if something goes wrong and you can't use the phone, you can usually boot into bootloader/fastboot/recovery and use a PC software that came with your phone to restore it to the factory state.
I have used z4root. I don't prefer it but it's relatively easy and works on all 2.1 phones, some 2.2 phones and very few 2.3 phones. If your model is listed as supported, it will most probably work.
Nonetheless, this question is specific to your phone and you should ask it in the Motorola Defy forums or another Defy user.
Hello!
I'm dealing with some branded tab KIANO BLADE CITY 2.
It has Alwinner A10 soc with 512 mb RAM and Mali-400 video.
So would like to install Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 from this thread, but I came to conclusions that I need my own compatibility pack first.
At this point I have fully working ROM with Android 4.0.3 for this tab
http://www.my-server.pl/kiano/cityII/soft/android4-BLADE-CITY2-ver2.img
As I have no previous experience with Linux or android I request some help with creating custom compatibility pack out of original rom.
Thanks.
To be sure. What does a compatibility pack mean to you?
I'd recomend posting this on the rom thread btw.

Compatibility pack is the one created for each device in that CyanogenMod 10 thread. It contains kernel modifications for each device. For ex. without it you can get not working wifi or touchscreen and so on.
I can't post myself anything in developer section because of newbie restrictions. If you don't mind, you can post it there for me.
Thanks.
I'd recommend helping out people like I did .
I don't own such a tab but if you want me to ask it just send the thing you want posted and the thread as a private message .

Did you ever get an answer on this? I am looking for a compatibility pack for my tablet.
Thank you!
Sorry, but no. I have too few reputation to post my request in the appropriate thread so I stuck...
But you have 8 posts already, so +2 and you good to make a request yourself.
I hope that guys in the original thread will be able to help, especially as we have working ROM, which can be used for making compatibility pack, as I presume.

Hi! I have good news!
I was able to "port" original drivers from my stock rom for CarbonRom 4.2.2 and for CM10!
Both roms have full support for touch, gsensor, camera and wifi (CarbonRom has wifi drop issue but it is common problem for all devices).
CM10 is slick and fast. About ~1 min boot time (faster than stock one), a lot of drivers for usb devices.
I have goodix_touch_811 touch driver and dmard06 gsensor if you are interested.

Hello everyone,
Which ROM would you recommend for SM-G920F,
My plan is to root my phone and install the best ROM currently available as the original one started to be very slow and laggy, there is so many of them on the forum, which one would be the best?
Thanks!

There are so many. I suggest for my experience here I have tested out few, most of them are invalid
Try (Enezusun2002 build 28 February LineageOs multitarget 17,1) with that i have no problem.
Many have tried to install newer out there last one I've downloaded I forgot where I download it from it has home signature I don't know if it their own build or someone else
If you need his ota just search ota on enez github
Is the LineageOs a new version of CyanogenMod?
How good is camera?
I remember few years ago, not original camera app was very poor on CyanogenMod, how is this one on GALAXY S6 in this LineageOs ROM?

Cam depends on GPU and CPU you can tweak the hell out of this phone
It is good on Enezusun's build :good:
Edit: try also Lineage 14,1 I think or 14?

if i where you i would install Enez rom 28 feb but need a lot of knowledge to tweak cpu to make it battery friendly
install magisk and hktweaks app
and turn on only 1 big cpu core and 1 small core it will save battery but slower
