Dear developers,
I want to thank you for your time and consideration building ROMs for our begonia.
Gone are the times of cfw and we have plenty of choice of custom roms.
It's time to port MultiRom manager! So, we could taste all available ROMs here and there. I haven't got the knowledge to do it. If I had I would ported it a lot time ago.
Other question here is...
Why none custom ROM (at this moment) can deactivate SIM 1 or 2 as in MIUI?
That thing makes me stay on greeshan repack. Is don't like MIUI. I prefer working with Aosp style and island.
If a developer needs tester for doing this 2 things or introduces some or all upgrades on his or her ROM let me know.
God Bluetooth bless you!

Hello XDA,
So I am currently running the NexusMOD (v3.8 Beta) Rom by goldfingerfif and have no complaint as to the roms stability it is perfectly usable as a daily driver. The only bugs I can say really annoyed me where the call echo (Which everyone’s custom rom had until the patch by yaldak was released) and not having the native option to WIfi/USB tether (But by just installing “Wifi Hotspot Pro” from the Play Store you have a simple work around) but both of those issues have been fixed in one way or another. So my question for you guys is What ICS rom do you currently use and why ? Does your particular rom have any additional features that other ICS roms do not? Does your current rom have a theme that you absolutely love ? Is it the Speed? Performance? Support? I would love to hear your feedback on this as I am satisfied with my current rom but may be missing out on the features of another and yes I am aware I can flash other roms and determine this for myself but come on guys creating backups and setting up your device just how you like it when you flash a new rom can be a pain in the butt the 4 time you do it.
Thank You,
You should never ask that question on here!!!!

The best ROM is the one that works best for you on your phone. Read, read, then read some more, understand what you're doing, then try them out one by one.
Hi Folks,
sneaking around all the Forums and Threads about HTC-Desire I came to the conclusion that I urgently need a new ROM on my smartphone. OK, to be honest, it is more-or-less because off this permanent message that my memory is running low.
So I started to gain knowledge about 'root', 'S-Off', 'HBoot', 'Recovery' and all that stuff. It took a while by I managed to 'root' my Desire without any issue.
Bye the way I learned a complete new language and had to jump between several threads to understand all these abbreviations.
Now I struggle with myself as I am not able to decide on which ROM to choose. My favorites are MIUI and Oxygen. But, what confuses me most are the different versions of each ROM. Yes, I read all the threads of most every single ROM but that made the decision not easier.
Is there someone around who can provide some experience with MIUI and/or Oxygen ROMs.
What I really looking for is a nice looking, state-of-the-art, stable and fast ROM as I am not of that kind to flash updates every day.
Did I ever mentioned that my grandchild is laughing at me, so please help me proof that even someone not familiar with all that new stuff will be able to flash a new ROM.
Cheers !!
My suggestion for MIUI is this one:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
It's stock version from MIUI England, without many modifications. You can also check out on MIUI Germany site.
In my signature you have something I made that's based on CM7 with just a few mods.
I'm using the MIUI ROM too, the response I get is way faster than the stock HTC rom. Although it's a shame that development stopped at GB (I really want the scrollable widget in ICS), but some of the guys here are working on ICS/JB ports, might jump onto one of those when they mature.
FYI
Please do not flash any of custom rom (Note 4 /Unikat etc) they all have Bug and which is still not be clear and regularly developing the series. My personal exp after flashing all rom is very sad. Stuck to stock rom one best the rom made by Samsung. Sorry to say but none of developer have made a rom without bug. Please wait for official lollipop or cyanogenmod rom
Thanks for sharing your experience :thumbup:
I share the same concerns. So far, there hasn't been a single ROM out there that'd convince me to try out. I check the few custom ROM threads regularly and the last comments are almost always about bugs and not just small ones as well. Some ROMs can't connect to WiFi's, others loose 3/4G connection for no discernible reasons, many have missing features (like clearing the notifications with one button etc.). Seems to be that these ROMs are really on their Beta stage right now.
For my customization needs, I switched to custom launchers and theming. Works for me for the time being. Hopefully, there would be a proper CM ROM for the N3N sometime in the future (although I wouldn't hold my breath for it).
I just realized, even for the S4 Mini, there is a CM12. Bloody hell: this phone doesn't get any support at ALL!
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 everybody, I will start building Custom Roms in the next few days.
Which one I'm building I don't know yet, I'll try a few to build.
So be curious and wait for new info
Greetings kevte89
Hi @kevte89. I Would love PixelExperience ported to Mi 8 Pro.
Ideally, I would love to have customisations made to Phhusson's GSI ROM to get the non-working bits for equuleus working. (Fingerprint sensor, VoLTE most importantly). Then other GSI ROM developers would be able to integrate those patches to their ROM to instantly give us a good choice of ROMs.
Maybe that could give you some ideas, but a custom MIUI ROM is probably not what most are looking for.... I'm looking for more stock based ROMs to get away from MIUI.
By the way... did you get started yet and do you need any help testing? You can reach out to me in a PM... I have professional software testing experience that may be of benefit.
