How to root: Dev section, I recommend the "root from recovery" zip by Team [Name here that i forgot]
What benefits: themes, apps (wifi tether), more customization all around, removing bloatware, just more control over your phone (equivalent to becoming an admin on your desktop when you were a normal user before)
Roms available: All of those are available, check the dev section. The only type that isnt out there yet is Sense, but check often because there are many trying to port that to the S3
Stable roms: not an acceptable question, mods close threads that ask this as its up to you to determine what you will like and what features and option you consider a rom needs in order to be stable.

Thank you so much for take some of your time to answer all my questions, so now Mod can you please close this thread, and again thanks

The best rom for htc desire HD

hey guyss,, i have tried many custom roms but always find alot of bugs and battery drain issues,, i tried custom gb roms too but didn't satisfy completely,, custom roms always help you to experience new ui and new features , i salute to effort of the developers, but if you need your phone just for basic funtions not for some cool features,, then here is a method to get the best rom.
1- first install a latest official rom(stock kernel). here is the link,,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
2- now download the rom cleaner tool and run that with any recovery and select the option rom cleaner and then no sense and choose any launcher. here is the link for rom cleaner tool ( remember rom cleaner tool is in zip file so you have to flash that zip through any recovery) ,,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283
3- download and install daemon controller,,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949502
download and enjoy the fastest rom with stock kernal.
thank you.
sorry for my bad english,
I recommend viperDHD
ViperDHD for sense and Codefire X for AOSP/AOKP.

Please, there is no best ROM, everyone has their own preferences. Other similar threads have been closed by the moderators, I won't be surprised if this one gets closed too.

Jb 4.2.1 (cm 10.1)
Everyone is different.
I'm running randomblame's Jelly Time R1 (soon to be R2) Jelly Bean.
Check the Dev section - usually the most popular one will tell the answer (and for newbies it's probably the best one).
I change the ROM often to get the last and best of everyone. Now I'm using Codefirex JB 4.2 and it's very good.
I prefer no SENSE ROMs.
i am on Blackout v3.2
i trimmed sense with no-sense script
and finally using w8 launcher
free ram is about 250MB
so it is fine
Sabsa Prime v12.0

There is no best rom what may be great to one may be total crap to another. Only you can tell what's best for you and what you need it to do.
Only advice anyone can tell you is
1. Gingerbreads are solid.
2. ICS have minor issues though close to solid.
3. Jelly Bean also has minor issues though they are becoming solids as well.
Read the last few pages of all roms and you will get somewhat of an idea what issues users are having. This is a search and learn sight we all did it. No one will hold your hand and lead you along the way.

Agreed, but ICS ROMs are essentially solid now.
4.1.2 ROMS are stable(ish)
I use MIUI and it's work like a charm base on JB
viper DHD is amazing
currently, jb 4.2.1 codefireX is awesome with tons of tweaks and viperDHD for sense.
Its true. Everyone is different. A lot of people have moved on from this phone, including developers. Its said, but this is why I went back to iPhone 5. I still like to poke my head back in here for a look once in a while. I know this doesn't help you at all, but its midnight and i'm bored. Cheers.

This is not a place to post because you are bored. Go to OT-Forum for that.
We do not accept "Best rom" threads, as every user makes different experiences and thos threads almost always end in either flaming or Off-Topic posting as you might see here.

AOSP and S3

So, I've been lurking around the forums for awhile and trying to find a rom that is simply pure android 110%. Surely, I have found CM10's, AOKP's, KANG, etc etc, however I couldn't seem to find any rom that was just pure ANDROID! No extra mods, themes, etc... Like on a Stock Gnex, so my question being, is there one I am over looking ? I tried googling it to no avail.
Thanks (=
EDIT: Such an idiot, I posted in General instead of Q&A. Could someone move this to Q&A please? x.x
Well my cyanogenmod 10.1 4.2.2 is pretty close. There are the added tweaks but I like them. If you want a true nexus then you better also pull your ext SD card out. That's the only thing keeping me away.

Ya I have to agree that 10.1 is pretty darn close

Paranoid Android is also really close, as is AOKP. They all have tweaks, its just a matter of which set of tweaks you like the most. As mentioned, the only way to get pure aosp is to get a nexus.

is there something in particular you're looking for in a nexus rom or something you're seeing that you dont want? because otherwise, the aosp-based roms that have been named here will generally look exactly like a stock nexus device. i know Faryaab has assembled a SuperNexus rom. i used to run the 4.1 version on my S2 last year, but the S3 one is only for the i9300 variant. dont go trying to flash that. you'll be all set with CM10, AOKP, or any other roms in the original android dev section. cheers
Absolute stock 100% AOSP will be missing quite a few features. Like you, I tried to find the same for a while and realized how watered down the OS is.
That being said, the only pure AOSP is currently for the international variant and won't work on this device. Your only option is to compile it from source yourself, which can be very difficult if you are not a developer.

[Q] Which Rom should I select?

Im only partially familiar with roms and flashing(used to flash optimus V until I upgraded to a phone with no devs working on it XD ), I was fairly familiar with a cyanogenmod port for my op-V and liked that.
Anyways more specifically im not familiar with any of the devs or their products and was wondering which rom will give me the most preformace and lowest battery drain?
or is it too soon in the nexus 7's life to determine this kinda thing?
should I just stick with stock for now?
also if you have any words of advice or such so a new nexus 7, I'd love to here em.
just flash every rom out there and decide which ever is the "best" for you then stay with it .
What exactly do you find wrong with the stock rom? My thoughts on custom roms have always been if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Options and features.... for example Cyanogenmod has a ton of features that the original ROM doesn't have. Also speed sometimes dictates switching roms. Alot of custom roms are striped down and are faster also.

Not about fixing, but improving
Paranoid Android is fast becoming a personal favorite. Tablet UI is how things ought to be. It's very easy to make a backup image, backup apps, and just start flashing. Now's a good time to start, too, as it's early and the selection is fairly limited. It will only grow from here..

if you like stock and want the ability to choose what you want, cleanrom is great

Very true what you guys say, stock ROM is great and all but I love to see all the cool features people put out in their custom Roms.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I flashed every ROM that was available, that after I backed-up my original stock ROM. It's the only way you'll find which one you like the most. My 2 best options are ParanoidAndroid 3 and CyanogenMod Kangs, but I love the stability and speed of latter. It's all about preferences, just read a lot of comments of what users say and that also can help you.
Update: I love too much the custom ROMS, the customizing and the utilities they add are just fantastic. That's why I never stay with a stock ROM.
CleanROM if you just want a basic ROM like stock without all the bloatware.
ParanoidAndroid if you want a ton of features to play around with. Some are buggy at the moment and performance won't be as good as it would be with CleanROM but I think it's worth it for the features.

Rom question or suggestion

Is there a rom that isnt touchwiz based like cm10.2 or paranoid but that supports apps 2sdcard? i love little minions rom but i really just love aosp roms i just would like to see apps 2sd card support! any Roms like that available?
Several are available. Check the Android Developers thread the TMobile Samsung Galaxy S4 section.
This is just 1 example of the several there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337709

You are going to have to do this research yourself. Threads like this which inevitably turn into "Which rom is best" discussions are not permitted on XDA.
Spend the time to read through all of the descriptions of available roms in the dev section. Try a bunch of them out to find one that is right for you. You will learn A TON in this process and it's a great experience.
Getting other people to simply telly ou which rom to use will not help you learn anything.

[Q] Which is the best Custom rom for Note II

Hi guys, tell me wich is the best rom for you? I need good battery and aircommand feature
Re: [ROM][5.0][Lollipop][Official] NamelessROM 2.0 [ALPHA] [20141117]
Cyanogenmod, only no aircommand.. But newest Android stil.
The DN4 rom is awesome for it. I don't these types of threads are allowed. Xda encourages you to try diffrent roms not ask like this. Good luck

There is no such thing as "best rom", It's subjective and just own opinion. To find your answer try some and find out what is "best" for you.
Alternatively use common sense, Do you think you're the only person to have ever asked this question? Use search and read topics that already exist, no need for another.
Every ROM is the BEST! Ask anyone currently using any ROM...they have found it is the BEST for THEM. Battery life is dependent on kernel, kernel settings, syncs that YOU set up, signal strength, brightness,..and many other non-ROM settings which YOU set up. Air Command features you will find listed in the OP of the ROM if they are working or not.
Happy flashing!
