With the new CM11 with and without GAPPS installed, is there a "standard" amount of memory left with and without Google installed?
Flashed the CM11 rom by PlayfulGod here after trying all the other 4.4 roms with various kernals etc.
This seems to be the only one that uses less memory with and without GAPPS installed, so wondered if this is the same on the stock 4.4 rom?
Thanks all in advance

Hello everybody,
I actually have Omega 6 with RedPill Kernel on my note but I want something even much cleaner.
So I selected two ROMs : PARANOIDANDROID and HyperNote.
The first is an AOSP Rom; It really changes everything.
The others is a very clean version of stock rom.
What I want is a very clean rom but the most stable as possible. Also I don't know if the multi-window is possible on an AOSP rom, and I want to keep it. It would also be good if I can install the samsung and google apps I want easily.
What do you think is the best for me ?
Sorry for my english, and thanks for your help.
Guys I just received my phone after the known problem with the SDS syndrome. My mobo was swapped..
Anyway I am a little rusty since I haven't been into ROMs/kernels lately so I have some questions as to the correct order and/or what I need to do.
I have seen that 4.3 is available through Cyanogen MOD so I am thinking about updating into this.
So I have some questions.
1. First and most importantly is Cyanogen 4.3 a stable release w/o issues? Do you have anything else to recommend (go for 4.2.2 for example)? I know this is personal preference but I'd like a rock stable ROM w/o issues, tested and fast if possible! And what about a reliable kernel? Should I keep stock or use another that you could recommend?
2. I had the swap internal/external memory mod with my previous builds. Is it compatible with Cyanogen or maybe is there any better way that I am unaware of to install apps on SD w/o the mod?
3. Do I need to have something else in mind ?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

1.Yes 4.3 is little mature now but not ripe as 4.2.2 are..and yes 4.3 is stable now as far as I know.
I'll personally go for 4.2.2 since these are stable builds now and most of the custom aosp roms are based on 4.2.2..but PAC and Probam(4.3 based) are quite famous now and bugfree too!!
For kernel I prefer perseus or neak in 4.1.2. For 4.3, probam has its own cm modified kernel
2.No idea regarding this coz I didn't used this mod
3.Yes..If u r planning to flash roms then always use sds patched kernel+recovery..
Sent from my AweSoMe ☆♥Note2♥☆
Thanks for the answer. Anyone knows if any kernel/rom from the PAC/Probam has issues with swap/internal external memory?
Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone has a list of ROMs that do not ship gapps.
Even the "newer" Cyanogenmod ROMs come with a google-store app(although outdated), that cannot be removed.
The last CM that doesn't seem to include any form of gapps is 6.1.1, but I really want to use a GB Rom.
So what ROMs dont come with absolutely NO gapps(Youtube, Talk/Hangout, Maps, playstore, you name it...)?

You can delete the unwanted apps from the /system/app folder before installing.
Ok. Thanks a lot. I guess this Thread is redundant then.
Hello I wasn't exactly sure where to post this thread so mods if this is the wrong section feel free to move it :good:
My aunt has a HTC Wildfire S v2.3.5 and I wanted to install the Viber app on it but that requires v2.3.6 or higher.
I can't officially update the phone, latest update was v2.3.5 so what are my options at this point? Are there any stable custom roms for the Wildfire S?
It depends on what you consider "stable". I consider stable a phone decent in every day use. In my opinion, considering the phone age and the generally increased app size, I think this can't be considered anymore a daily usage phone in anyway, not even with the stock rom. But if by stable you consider a rom without bugs, there are a lot of roms from which you can choose!
You can check these roms:
CyanogenMod 10.1 [by OWL PROJECT]
CyanogenMod 11.0 [08032015]
MIUI v4 - 2.8.10
But again, the phone has around 100/200MB free space after any rom is flashed. So if you update all the apps already included in the rom and gapps, you already filled the free space. I consider any SD internal size increaser script as unstable, as you'd still need some internal space to make it work correctly. So your only way to do this in my opinion is to flash any rom (they are all pretty much stable) but to just have the app you want and nothing else. The WFS sadly is very limited nowaday.
I'm using my WFS as a daily until I get my One back from service, I flashed CM 11 but even if the ROM is okay the phone is not usable at all, everything I do is really really really slow because as you install more than 2 apps you have to use a script to increase the internal memory! I've been using CM 10.1 a lot before but the size of the apps were a lot smaller, Google Play Services didn't weight 100MB and everything was working better.
Hi everyone,
i have a xperia z1 compact phone and i'm a newbie in the world of custom rom, kernels, ecc..
A few days ago i flashed a new custom rom and the phone is working pretty well, but i have a question here..
Can i use a stock firmware (let's say original lollipop 5.1) with just a new kernel?
I was thinking about not installing a completely new rom but just a new kernel and the xposed installer to change something on this phone, is that possible?
If android releases a new version of android and i upgrade my version, do i have to reinstall the kernel? And some apps from sony's firmware are quite useless (at least for me), could i delete them just like a new rom? (ofc with root)
I just want a stock firmware with a new kernel that can use less battery possibly.. I don't need overclocking or stuff like that, just battery life i would say..
Sorry my bad english though and thank you all for your attention!

There are at least a couple of custom kernel options in this forum. Check ' development' and 'original development' threads. You can usually tell if they work for stock if they have either 'stock' or a build number, (e.g. 368), in the thread title. Otherwise they may be CM based, and won't work.

Thank you for your answer.
Is there much difference beetwen build numbers? (757,368,242,...) i searched on the net but i didn't find something really useful to let me understand the difference D:

Android 5.1 on this phone is .368.
5.0 is .270 or .242
The others are KitKat, (either 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4).
For the first - as always - be 120% sure that kernel you want to install is compatible with remaining system parts.
Base thing - stock to stock, non-stock to non-stock, but it is not everything.
Changes between versions them may be too big to play together.
You don't put any tires to any car. You need to know that dimensions fit.
Same here.
