Hello all is there anyway to install the cm theme engine to stock firmware? As I would like to go back to stock L for a while, and see if I prefer tweaking with xposed/g3 tweaksbox than running aosp. The only things really holding me back is I love a completely dark interface. Also I been getting into kernel tweaking lately (The g3 is my first high end android device). That said could anyone recommend and good custom stock kernel with decent governors, and over/under clocking. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Hi guys! I just bought an Arc S, and it's totally awesome. BUT, even if I like the design of the stock ROM, it really can be improved. I always have around 60 mb of free RAM, and you can imagine the result
May I use doom kernel ( or any other kernel ) without flashing a new rom? Would I have improvements? Do I get more free ram?
Thanks in advance, I'm trying to learn everything I can about modding this phone, I had a Motorola and I spent the last months tweaking it, now it's time to start all over
If you've unlocked the bootloader, yes. Any kernel thread OP will advise what version of android the kernel will support, or if it's specifically for a certain rom(i.e. MIUI/CyanogenMod roms). Generally, custom kernels improve performance and add features not available in the stock rom such as call recording, various schedulers, overclocking and so on. Battery life tends to be better with the stock kernels though.
thanks! and specifically, if I want to stay ( for now ) with stock rom 2.3.4 which kernel would you suggest me to try? i'd like one with smartassv2 governor, i heard it's pretty good
Doomkernel is your best bet there, tbh.

I've rooted my phone plenty of times and flashed CM 10. I find myself going back to stock every time. I rooted again. So now what? Sorry for asking such an annoying question. I'm just at a loss with this. I need some direction.
What exactly is your question? If you don't know why you rooted maybe you shouldn't be rooting in the first place. You don't root just for roms, root is administrator access to the system. It allows you to access the system files usually blocked to the end user. Roms are just custom OS's chosen by the user and their tastes/preferences/requirements. You should probably do some more reading so you know what it is you're doing before you break your phone.
I like to break stuff!

if you find yourself constantly going back to stock, you should check out the custom TouchWiz ROMs. these will give you the stock experience modified for speed, power and battery savings. plus the fact that they are fully customizable.
just go to the 2 different Android development threads for this phone, you will find everything you need and more.

For a stock feel with performance tweaks and loads of options for themes check out
The People's Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013463 Freshly updated to 3.13 with all the bells and whistles.
Mother of All Roms- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116531 Yet another deliciously tasteful rom that is TW based, load of options. Recently updated as well.
Either of these roms you can make your way. Plenty of options to give you the look and feel you want. Support is amazing for these two as well.
+1 for milky!
Or if you don't want to over-do your phone for themed stock JB styles or AOSP.
Then try shooting for a custom kernel and optimizing it for better performance.
Or better yet, find a stock optimized kernel and it'll be all good OR BETTER THEN THAT....
Learn all about the android kitchen and build your own rom from the scratch up!

Both the above listed roms do have an optimized stock kernel with tweaks for optimization.
I don't root just to say "I'm a hacker" I have a decent amount of knowledge on what root access is. It is my fault for wording my question like I did. I keep going back to stock because I can't set my phone up the way I'd like. Also, for those who are developers...how do you do it? Developing seemed much more easier on Google's Nexus Line.
Hey xda developers!
So guys i was really taken in by the ElementalX kernel and all the hard work that put into that project. I am in need of a rooted rom that is based on Android Kit Kat (4.4+).
Now i have tried putting the ElementalX kernel on Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly build 4.4.2) on my Nexus 7 2013 32GB wifi only model FLO build KRT16S but the kernel made the ROM for the most part unstable. After flashing the elementalX kernel on CM11 (wiped dalvik/cache) i would get this ugly blue color and blocks on black and pink on my N7 screen and then 3-4 minutes Cyanogenmod 11 would boot up. Now i can tell the kernel took because all of my icons changed color and i checked the kernel in settings
However, after flashing the ElementalX kernel on CM11 it was very very laggy. I have tried for the most part all options...
I tried low settings high settings, and all stock options which all ended in the same result -> laggy.
Okay so if Cyanogenmod 11 is not a good candidate for ElementalX (most likely was my fault but moving on) can one of you great guys or gals please let me know what KitKat based ROM you are using with your ElementalX kernel?
Requirements for ROM:
very simple...
has to be pre-rooted
has to be Kit Kat based
I really appreciate any input or advice you can offer me...
Also what settings are you using for your Nexus 7 with your ElementalX ROM?...
Maybe its just how i am setting up my kernel but i did try almost every option for Cyanogenmod 11 which is why i want to try and start testing other Kit Kat Based Roms.
Thank you all so much for your time and your assistance...

CleanROM is a very good ROM to try before trying any others. It does not have a ton of features, actually very few, but it is fast and stable.
A lot of people run CR with ElementalX. (I do). It's the kernel that the CR dev recommends.
I also like Sinless ROM which has lots more options. But if this is your first custom ROM start with CLeanROM. The people in the CR Thread are very helpful if when you have questions.
I am coming from the Note 2 and on that phone I used RWilcos Mostly Stock ROM which is basically just the stock ROM with small tweaks, root, bloatware removed etc.
It did not have any bugs that effected the functionality which I've seen with other ROMs (CM etc).
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100% functional stable ROM almost that won't remove all the great Note features but still have the added features and performance, battery life , root etc of the custom ROMs?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, is the phone new and already updated to stock 5.1.1?
If so you have a locked bootloader (but still have options) .
If you have 5.0.1 or older version your in luck.

CM and ports require more attention whether it be developer, user or both.
Stock-like TW narrows it down for you. IMO, the two most active and capable developers in TW for Sprint Note 4 are tx_dbs_tx and freeza. They both have released very stock and also modified ROMs. Then there's OBAR that got a lot testing and users as well to make sure the bugs were squashed; still has support and also user community support.
If you don't want to get into kernel tweaking but want something with default and optimization out of the box- better than stock, consider freeza's Beastmode kernel or the newer Rage kernel that is integrated in Note 4our ROM (Don't be put off by the beta; it's stable but more customization is expected). Otherwise, take your pick and run the included kernel or choose another custom Android 5.1.1 kernel like AEL or Emotion for Sprint Note 4.
Personally, I prefer freeza's kernel. I've posted some battery stats in freeza's Beastmode kernel and Note 4our ROM threads.
I couldn't narrow it any further than this. You'd have to decide yourself or try as many as you like to make a definitive decision. Lots of choices and opinions vary; that's a good thing.

Which one of freeza's kernels gives better battery? Have you compared them to AEL? I'm using AEL 6.2,and while it has decent battery, it lags a bit.

IMO, they're equal on battery.
Rage may be slightly better on multitasking but there's extra scripts in play with the integrated ROM.
No lag but I've ran freeza kernels since Beastmode because they're close to stock with no setup to tweak.
Prior to that, I preferred stock kernel but thanks to Samsung, can't run it with root anymore. No recent compare to AEL or Emotion.

Hello,
Its a long time ago that i rooted and put a custom rom on a android phone
Now i have a question.
What is the best custom clean Google experience rom, with a good battery life?
Greetzzz
What is your device that you are looking a ROM for?
The lg g3 d855 with the 3gb ram version.
The most i want vanilla Google
If you want a vanilla google experience then I would recommend Cyanogenmod or Mokee. These are probably as cm/aosp (I am pretty sure Mokee is cm based but don't take my word for it) based as you can get. You could also flash Paranoid Android 5.1.1 but the devs unfortunately have gone to work on oxygen OS.
If you want an aosp based rom with tweaks (Layers support): At the moment I would probably recommend XenonHD (in my opinion one of the smoothest roms and good battery life (for me anyway)). If you want nova launcher pre-installed I would recommend BrokenOS.
If you want a cm based rom (with tweaks) (CMTE support): Well I am running RR (Resurrection Remix) at the moment and I am loving it. I'm not sure if I am allowed, but if you want nova launcher pre-installed then I would recommend cyanide L.
I am assuming you know who cyanogenmod are. If not, I don't want to say anything that will get me flamed to oblivion by the community but they essentially make roms extremely close to google aosp.
Haha yes i know what cyanogenmod is
4 years ago i built my own custom rom but since then i stopped with developing anything for Android (bussy at my college).
Only functions i dont wanna lose is laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle because i have a quick cover.
Then, the only possible rom that I think that you can flash without losing laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle is novastock aosp styled. If you want quick circle you can install the quick circle theme app. I am pretty sure that you can flash a custom camera for 4k filming.
You will lose knock on. And for laser focus you will lose if you flash anything other than stock (I am pretty sure).
If you want a vanilla google experience you should flash one of the ROMs I suggested. But if you want to keep all those features the closest ROM that I can recommend is novastock 1.1 aosp styled.
Ah okay, thats the problem for me to put a custom rom on my phone, because i wanna use these functions.
Then your best bet would be novastock 1.1 aosp. It has all the functions and the devs try to make it as close to aosp as possible

And cloudyg3?
Cloudyg3 is a stock based ROM but will look like LG and feel like stock. With novastock it's themed to look like aosp. Also, cloudy has been stopped being developed

Ah okay yeah i dont want a stock rom with a themed aosp over it, i rather then have the stock rom.
Haha i just will start first rooting my phone and then look futher tnx for your help!
No problem
