Hi,
Since there are several costume ROMs developed by developers; Additionally exist ROMs updating quickly one after another; What should we do with this hectic issue and how do we choose the best one through all these ROMs?
Also how should we update the ROM while there's almost a new update per day?
P.s: I want a ROM with Farsi/Arabic support also I don't know does android 2.3 support Farsi/Arabic natively or not? because I think Android 2.2 should supported Farsi/Arabic somehow too but it doesn't support by default (?)
Regards...
Read through the specs, trya few and see which you prefer, it's all personal choice.
Anyone Know Any Roms That Are Built For Gaming I Have A T999 With Cm 10.2 With Stock Cm Kernel... If Anyone Knows A ROM Or kernal Plz Let Me Know or Put Your Best Performance Rom On Here
This is the wrong forum for that question.
This should be moved into Q&A.
Moved to Q and A....and closed as XDA is not a support site, and as "Best" is a subjective term, users are expected to head over to the development threads and try all of the wonderful products being offered. Flash them all, test them, and make this determination based on your desires, needs, and wants.
Many people have a similar situation where you are wondering if you should keep stock or install a custom ROM on relative's phone, who is not a technical person.
I am wondering if it is better to keep the latest stock Android 4.3 on the Nexus (European version) or if I should upgrade it to a very stable almost stock custom ROM?
I will only be able to provide "maintenance" every 2 months.
My main goal of installing a custom ROM would be to keep it updated with the latest security patches, not so much to have the latest version of android running.
Is it so bad to keep 4.3 running on a phone when its user doesn't really need 4.4 or higher feature?
As you said, custom roms are more updated on security patches. Another reason that custom rom is better, is the additttional features offering. I have installed on many friends of mine custom roms without having any issues. On the contrary, if they change smartphone, they are seeking for those features on their new phone. When they realize that those features were custom things, they disappointed. The most custom roms have less bugs than the official build.
I would definitely recommend to flash custom ROM to your Nexus.
Our phone is really good maintained by our developers, so you can choose from many custom ROMs.
They will provide you more performace, better battery life and some nice features, that stock ROM can't offer you.
My personal option is the CM11 with custom kernel (Fancy, Franco or any other).
Don't try Lollipop ROMs now, because they are still unstable and have some bugs.
I had the same questions. Now though, after actually using a custom ROM I can confidently say that custom ROMs are the way to go.
The Galaxy Nexus wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for custom ROMs. They keep us updated to the latest android versions and not only that, but the features they add become essential to how you use your device.
And you're blessed to have a Galaxy Nexus. It's so easy to install custom ROMs on nexus devices.
Now that I've used them, I can't use my phone without them.

I say go for it! Just make sure you evaluate the knowledge/needs of the end user first, and let that guide your choice.
Example 1 - you're looking for a ROM for a not-very-tech-savvy user, so you need it to be as stable and problem-free as possible. You'd probably be best served by a 4.4 ROM that's been out for a while and has a long development/history of improvement.
Example 2 - your end user is reasonably tech-savvy, knows their way around Android and knows about the different versions, and also knows not to freak out or call you yelling "you broke my phone!" if there is an issue. In this case, check the known issues/bug reports for the 5.0-based ROMs and pick one with the fewest "daily driver" related issues.
I agree with use of an aftermarket ROM just due to the frequent updates and security fixes the stock ROM isn't getting. All the aftermarket ROM's I've tried are solid for stability. If you want to stick with stock, I do recommend rooting it to address a couple bugs.

Hello everyone I have some questions and I would be grateful if someone with knowledge answered them.
I know that custom kernels are based on the kernel tree that xiaomi releases but is it possible for them to damage the phone? Like optimus drunk or immensity?
In the HOS change log, I read that they fixed a bug that would deteriorate the UFS storage so I was wondering if its effecting all the custom kernels?
And I know I can't but to make sure. Can I use stock kernel on aosp rom?
And finally Xiaomi.eu uses stock kernel and firmware or not? Because in some installation guides I read that its firmware is different! (Currently using weekly release)
I am asking these questions because I wanted to use LOS but couldn't relax when it was installed.
Hello!
I have a POCO F3 alioth (EEA 12.5.7_RKHEUXM) and I am considering flashing xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V13.0.3.0.SKHCNXM_v13-12-fastboot stable custom ROM.
I have no prior experience in flashing custom firmware
I will be following this tutorial.
Is there anything else I should know? Any bugs? Any issues I might encounter, how to prevent them, and how to fix them? Any extra preparations?
Thanks in advance.
