Hello all! I got an old phone recently (Moto E 2nd gen), and I was looking to wipe it and start completely anew with custom everything. I want to "challenge" myself by only installing apps from F-Droid/other open source repositories, and only installing the bare minimum of Google apps and services. Is there a custom ROM made for this, or should I look into building AOSP myself?
On a slightly unrelated note, the phone is also currently carrier-locked. Should I try and unlock it before I start installing custom stuff?

instaling google apps is like you did nothing differant than stock rom
i suggest not using gapps at all, or if you really need something from it try microG

Awesome, I didn't know microG was a thing, it's exactly what I was looking for (mostly UnifiedNLP).

Sorry for asking, but what does TG stand for? I searched around a bit but couldn't find an answer.

Hi! I have a Oneplus One and it works quite well, but sometimes, for example when I open Whatsapp, it takes a lot of time to do it. I have the Stock ROM (6.0.1, 13.1.2), and since I have seen that LineageOS is the new CyanogenMOD I don't know if I should change to it in order to have a better performance in my Oneplus. I would be great if you suggest me what to do, I mean, what ROM to install.
If you can, please put the guide that I have to follow to install it.
Thanks.

Yes flashing a custom rom will definitely help.

That depends if the ROM was made for your device model, usually open source ROMs like Lineage OS might be better than your stock rom, after all they got nothing to hide in their source code xD
So yea! I belive that a rooted device with an open source custom ROM is a lot better for privacy than a stock rom that has all sorts of bloatware embeded in it.
Any one can make rom costom for this phone?!

Yeah. I wish developers would mod this phone.
Great specs, but EMUI is unbearable. Would love to see a barebones android run on this phone

where can I find out the custom rom for my mobile phone Huawei Y7 prime? olehanaspain
Why not you guys search on Google may be in stackoverflow or github you will find out your desired Custom ROM for y7....
It seems Huawei has fallen victim to the belief that they can produce apps that are better than native Android Oreo. The Huawei Y7 2019 is only marred by the abortion that is EMUI. A custom ROM would be great! The only other issue is how to bypass the locked bootloader. I have a python script that I got online that looks promising, which does a brute force attack, but pretty pointless without a replacement ROM.

Hi guys
I'm looking to update the firmware on this old tablet as it's a bit out of date and a bit sluggish it's been a long time since I've rooted or flashed anything android. I own a Linux satellite receiver and have flashed firmware images bootloader etc so hoping this will help me. I'm basically looking for a guide from start to finish to bring this tablet a bit more up to date, hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Check if these 2 ROMs are enough stable for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-cm-14-1-based-android-4-4-4-7-1-2.3648887/
Thanks matteo I think I'd like to try your build I've read quite a few of your post and you seem to know quite a lot about these tablets all I need to know now is what to download and how to flash it
Thanks

What to download is in the thread (rom, gapps and twrp), and you can find instructions all over the internet. I've wrote something in my thread of lineage 16 and twrp on how to install them (lineage 16 has the same instructions as the other ROMs I've linked you) too. What I advice you is to understand well what you have to do before doing everything. Otherwise, it can happen that you'll come back and say: "device doesn't boot anymore, what to do now?"
Yes I'm trying to gather as much information as I can so as to avoid any problems when I actually try to do the flash process. I will read up some more.
Thanks again

Hey Matteo- do you think this ROM is still the best option for those of us with a SM-T230 / DEGAS ? There isn't a proper LineageOS build is there? Appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

Hi, I will ask maybe stupid question, since knowledge is 0 in terms of android, but is there a possibility to upload some ROM with android 9.0 to T230? (I even do not know if I haven't made mistake in question )
Anyway I need 9.0 for app and already rooted device following step by step instruction.
Thx in advance

No, since there aren't any devs with enough interest/knowledge to make them.
Hi there. I have found an old SM-T230. I need to install some apps, which require at least Android 7. Will the above Custom ROMS work in that way, that i can install apps build for Android 7 or higher? I fear, i have to find some GApps but thats a other story... if someone can assist to find the right ROM and GApps, this would be nice...

Can someone help me im trying to install any rom (without gapps) on A31, but it seems that none of the custom roms have A31 as their supported device and im looking for any custom rom and TWRP because i can't even find TWRP. Is the phone just hard to custom rom or what? i searched for 3 hours and coudn't find anything worthy of trying. Thanks and sorry for my bad english !
The Phone doesn't has custom roms or twrp for now.
You could try building one yourself using the source code of SourceCodeSamsung
I find very odd that for Galaxy A30 and the recently launched Galaxy A32 has tons of custom roms available however for A31 it seems to be forgotten by the community, nothing other than the stock rom by Samsung. No official or unofficial roms available, that's very sad.

What runs on a32 could run kn a31 with some mods as they're practically the same device.
A31 still don't have any custom rom? Is there an A32's that could work?

The A32 port I found in /e/ Foundation forum (its Google-less, ok?) but I doubt it will work and you could brick your device, be aware of that. There was a guy you asked a version for you phone and he unnoficially created a version for you phone, not sure if he still does it there.

This site does it with almost every device but doesn't have a rom available for them, it tends to just change the name of the device and the instructions are the same.
Even the tutorial is dated, same for the images used.

I don't have the url anymore since I've switched to another PC and deleted tons of things from the old one, but I had it bookmarked in my account there and it is not available anymore. If I knew they would remove, I'd backup everything - but we never expect such thing to happen.

I own a S10+ and thankfully there are roms available for me, but I know must be tough not finding any rom for your phone. I know somebody who owns a Galaxy F62/M62 and haven't found anything yet.

Hi the issues is Samsung mass producess so many phones they can't even keep track of them and they eventually get forgotten Bc I've been struggling to find custom roms for my Samsung a31 but nobody even develops for it but I realize now that they are slowly trying to develop as the device losses support.
