Many times you can flash stuff to the stock rom. It really depends on the mod in question.

Like for example the soft key mod to change the color of the soft keys can I flash that on stock rom?

Kernel Change Stock Rooted

Greetings
UVKL1 Stock ROM.
Is it possible to flash an alternate kernel build for the T989 in ROM manager or CMR, or is more needed,ie Odin the kernel etc.
i'm coming from the Vibrant, flashed kernels, ROMs on that for 18 months but like the rooted stock I have now..just looking to try another kernel and maybe jkay mod, which I know involves build prop and framework changes
Thanks from an old noob

Stock with mods?

Am pretty new to flashing roms and mods. I've did the streak, captivate, s2 lte, and now just got the nexus.
Was wondering if I can just keep it stock and grab pieces of mods and flash em?
Thanks for any answers

Yes, you can use stock ROM, but you will have to get root access and unlock bootloader anyway. Also probably you will want to flash custom recovery which is very helpfull in cases when flashing some mods goes wrong.

So I can keep stock and just get mods then.... hard to choose with all the roms out there. Thanks for the response. Might just try a rom though cause this nexus starts to slow after after awhile

Mods can not be used on stock odexed ROM, you'll have to flash a Stock deodexed ROM, which isn't 100% factory stock. The ROM will be untouched other than deodexing the system files.
To install an OTA update, you must present the stock recovery on the galaxy

Yes, my bad. On SGS2 we had tons of mods/themes for stock-odexed ROMS. Thanks for correcting me.

Quick question of flashing mods

Can I flash mods to a stock rooted rom or it has to be a custom rom?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
It depends entirely on the mod. Many will work just fine, some require a deodexed ROM, others modify something specific to a ROM.
Like for example the soft key mod to change the color of the soft keys can I flash that on stock rom?

Do a back up and then try and flash your mod.
Its the only way to learn.

Basically yeah everyone else has got the idea, as with any mod or whatever, just nandroid before flashing so you can go back

Resize navbar nexus 4

Hello all, for those who want to resize the navigation bar. the ZIP of galaxy nexus works perfectly.
FOR STOCK ROM AND ROOT
view thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003425
CM 10.1 Latest nightly did not work. Stuck in a boot loop. DO NOT TRY
I have the stock deodexed 4.2.1 and it works perfectly.
It can be done in paranoid Android natively.

Flashed it and works perfect. The only thing I cannot unlock lock screen. Need to use widget camera to get inside homescreen @@.

Flashed the 28dpi and it boot loops. CM10 today's nightly.

A word of caution: this mod flashes a different SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk which can be highly specific to whatever ROM you're using. It will more than likely cause problems for a lot of people. Also, the original thread clearly states that the ROM needs to be deodexed, and the stock ROM is not. If you want to try it anyways (which I advise against), make a nandroid as you will almost definitely need it.
I'm using maddoggin rom which has nav bar resize built in... That roms nav bar mod works great!
codefireX has this built in. Best ROM available, in NY opinion.

So I was completely naive and trusted the thread and flashed it without reading the original thread, now im stuck in a bootloop, how to i get out of it? I didnt have a nandroid backup, please help!
Pretty down and power button to get in fastboot then go into recovery. Flash a ROM (on your phone) of your choice.
If you don't have any ROM, you can use fastboot to flash a ROM I think. I don't know how to do it but you can find tutorial with the search button. You will get your phone back.

Quick confirmation

I am familiar with rooting and rom, but only on Nexus devices. So I am looking to flash a custom rom on my wifes GS3, but want to confirm the next step.
I have rooted the device using CF auto root, i then installed TWRP via goo manager.
So can i just flash roms like normal now? Is the bootloader unlocked, or is that not involved with this device?
You can flash ROMs like normal.. Bootloader is already unlocked

If you want to flash custom ROMs like cm or aosp, you'll most likely have to update the bootloader. But if your just flash TW ROMs, you should be fine.

Thanks guys. Probably just TW Roms this way I don't confuse her. Her GS3 has just been running like crap lately so figured I'd wipe it and install something with less bloat.

Yea stick to touchwiz, it already includes a bunch of stuff that wasn't possible back on the GB days without root . I like the progression android has made with battery percentage etcc
