[Q] All custom ROMs look similar?

I don't know if its only me,but i think all ROMs(CM11,Paranoid Android etc.) look pretty similar except for one or two extra features. Each of them has the same browser app,DSP manager,File Manager and mostly similar features.Even the OS look and feel is the same as stock android(I use Moto G XT1033).
So what is the point of flashing custom ROMs if they look similar to stock.android
We can just use Xposed to have those extra features right?
I really don't know

+1 im with you. But im using custom rom on 1033
Only miui is different and unique rom waiting for some one to port it

ROMs can sometimes have better battery life and sometimes can provide features that xposed don't have. you can also install a different launcher and put in a different theme as well. uninstall the apk's you don't want when you flash the ROM and install your preferred one
previous phones :
LG OPTIMUS L3 400
HUAWEI HONOUR U8860
MOTOROLA MOTO G XT1032 (current)

Coming from a guy who wouldn't leave stock + xposed and it's modules for nothing, recently switching to custom roms: it IS totally worth it. I don't miss any of the features xposed has and even got extra ones such as Hover. The job done by the devs are great, give it a go on the roms and find one which you enjoy the most.
Also they're kept updated on lightning speed fast.

Custom rom based on stock rom

I have a question.
Why we don't have any custom roms based on stock rom in our xiaomi phones, while i was on samsung there were lot of custom rom based on stock rom.
I prefer be on those roms because they provide best stability , battery, and ultimate new rom experience and also stock camera can be used.
I don't know why there are no custom roms based on stock rom, this is not only about mi 4i, its about all xiaomi phones.
Hope someday any dev come with this thankyou.

I'm thoroughly not sure why, but here's my opinion.
What makes many phone (including Samsung) different from Xiaomi's is.. Our stock ROM (MIUI) is (or was) also a custom ROM, with the difference of native support by Xiaomi (for Mi phones).
they provide best stability , battery, and ultimate new rom experience and also stock camera can be used.

While I do agree that stock camera can be used, but "stability", "battery", is subjective. So one's take will be different with others.
And I don't know what do you mean by "Ultimate New ROM experience."
But there are some "Custom" (although I prefer to call it unofficial version) MIUI's from MIUI Polska which you can get here.
Remember, if you don't understand Polish, you can always go to my friend for help!

thankz for your opinion,
but you are not getting my point exactly, when we get any custom rom based on stock rom we get stability like stock.
like custom rom based on CM will have bugs of CM.
and custom rom based on stock rom will not have those bugs.
as our stock rom is already lolipop, when i was on galaxy S2 and S3 i was using miui 5 based on stock rom, and many other rom based on stock rom because on those roms i can use my stock applications also.

I'm sorry if I didn't catch some of your point.
From my experience with Samsung device (my mother's GT-P3100 to be exact -my GT-I8150 didn't get any official ROMs beside stock 2.3.6-), the "Custom ROM" that are based on stock are actually just the same stock (TouchWiz, blah blah), but "de-bloated", "enhanced", "modded" and other different claims.
And, about MIUI5 based on Stock (TouchWiz?)... uuuh... Not sure about this one.

i m talking about threads like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../asnet-miui-v5-4-6-13-multi-language-t1605655
just look at above thread u will got know wt i am talking about.
and thanks for ur response.

What he means is look at some of the custom oem roms like Viper for HTC Sense and alliance for samsung. These are stock based roms with tons of new features and options.
As to why you don't see the same for miui well that is due to most dev teams that have the knowledge to do it won't touch a Xiaomi device at its present stage. Maybe one day but that day is not this day.

Yup you got my point,
And i m waiting for that day.. 😀😁😊

I've also used SuperMan-ROM, SuperMan-ROM was a rom with a lot customizations and tweaks that you could set to your own wishes. I don't think there is a rom available at this moment that provides the same customizations and tweakers that is not EOL.
At this moment I've installed LightRom. I've used it for 2 days now, runs great and haven't had any problems so far. I do miss some tweaks/customizations that were available on the SuperMan-ROM, but maybe that is just a matter of getting used to the new rom.
I've also tried LineageOS, but didn't liked it due to some bugs with calling in general and bluetooth music/calling.
The rom The Galaxy Project looks promising, but haven't had the change to try it out.
There are some more roms available but I didn't check them out yet, so I can not say anything about them. You can see a rom list for the Galaxy S7 here: Rom List

HI! Great post question, I am asking the same question. I WAS using Superman ROM and LOVED IT! but then EOL came out and security patches were OLD and scared me. My main use no with S7 is protecting it and prolonging its life span. So which ROM is best for:
1. De-bloated - enough of jam packing crap into a phone ppl dont need or want and not giving them a way to delete it for good!
2. Updated security patches
3. Maximum Performance
Is it possible to STILL use Superman ROM final edition and flash security patches?

Samsung has stopped the monthly security updates, so only quarterly security patches will be available. Also Samsung is not releasing Android 9 for the Galaxy S7.
For this, some developers are working on Note FE ports. The Note FE ported roms are based on Android 9 and do get their monthly security patches.
At this moment these Note FE ports are very populair: (keep in mind that there are more roms available and probably new ones will come)
NoteFE port - BlackDiamond
NoteFE port - LightRom
Always read the first post and see if you like the rom based of the description.
I think that LightRom is the most debloated rom. I've used LightRom before, it was a decent rom, but it felt like debloating meant replacing Samsung apps with Google apps. It was more battery efficient than the Samsung Stock ROM, but not by a alot.
I don't know which rom has more performance.
I'm going to try the BlackDiamond rom, it looks very promising. But in the end it is always personal preference, you should read the first post of a rom and see if you like it. If you do, you can test it and see if you really like it.
Superman ROM is End Of Life, so it doesn't get updated anymore. You can not flash security patches separately. If you want SupermanRom with the latest security patches, then you'll have to do all the merging/programming work yourself. Also one last thing, you ask for maximum performance, but Superman-ROM isn't maximum performance at all. It's only just a little debloated, basically removed some apps that can be downloaded from app store again. And it also has RomControl, which makes a rom customizable but slower and less battery efficient.

How do people make custom roms from stock roms, as opposed to AOSP?

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I hope someone can help me.
I've always loved custom roms which take a stock manufacturers image and add fixes or tweaks. I love roms such as Fulmics for the LG G3.
Now that I've got quite a few phones hanging around in the drawer, I'd really like to try my hand at taking a stock image and modifying it to my heart's content. However whenever I've looked into this, I've gotten a bit lost and mostly ran into guides talking about compiling AOSP.
Does anyone have any guides or tools which can help me modify stock roms (such as LG or Nokia)?

If a phone's Android OS ( aka Stock ROM ) is rooted then it can get changed in any way according to user's wishes.
