After browsing through most the mods, hacks and updates.....I have know idea which Custom ROM works the best and had a few ideas....
at first i wanted to run these mods....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
then I visited the ROM page and felt like all of them were good upgrades from the stock wing...
so heres my question....If i want to get a ROM do they come with the mods in the link above meaning I'm good
I realize the risk of flashing, should I do it on my refurbished (factory) phone?
And which ROM is the sleekest and stable of all of them
thanks for looking

Generally, ROMs appeal differently to different people, so there is no "Best" ROM...
Different ROMs will have different features and functions and so some may include some of those listed in that thread while others may have other tweaks or changes.
I think the best way to find out what you want is to take the plunge and flash a ROM. You'll soon find out what works well for you, although don't get addicted to flashing!
As for this:

Given that it is factory refurbished, it should be fully functional and should therefore be upgradeable with no extra risk.

Since we have a thread where the latest Radio ROMs are available,
would not be a thread about all shipped roms good too
and could gather there?

For this to work you'd need the approval of each rom chef. Plus you'd update thread with each new release?
Sent from a little black thing with flashy lights....oooh its a phone!!!
Hm,thought maybe a dev or mod can make this possible.
Because saw this at few other device sections.
Approval from ROM chef?
I mean collecting all/or most original shipped ROMs (RUU.exe)

Think he means all OEM ROMs, like all of these Stock Z ROMs that're being posted, and any/all g2 AOSP Stock ROMs, straight from the manufacturers.
Jep,right.
I know about "shipped rom" site,but only some ROMs there
Knock your socks off if you wanna dig through all this threads to collect them into a thread you create.
I'm not familiar with Desire rom or else i would
Or post it in the pinned radios roms etc thread and i'll find a way to get it into post 2 with you as the poster
first off i would like to thank all the developers and everyone else that made this site what it is today. with all the knowledge and know how here, i would really appreciate it if i can get some well needed advice on a few things. i want to makesure my phone is aup to date as possible, i understand that every phone is different but in general what can i do to update my evo4g? here is my setup now,
android vers. 2.3.3
htc sense vers. 2.1
build # mikg-sense 2.1+3.0-v3.0 b1
baseband 2.15.00.0808
if possible can you include links to whatever things you suggest? again thanks for your help.
That is best sense 2.1+ available. You're good to go.

That's great thanks for the reply. I have another question for ya then. Is my radio version good or is there a better one to flash?
There's a thread in the dev section with all the radios in it. If you're not having issues, you're good. If you want a solid stable Sense ROM, you're good. Anything past that is more of a project with bugs that need to be worked out still.
If you want to try something different and equally as stable, give MIUI a shot. No 4G though. Never will be. But it's an AOSP ROM and has a TON of cool features.
Apparently, there is no "best" or "better" rom.
But there are too many to choose from..
Which have the best supporting, bug fixes etc..?
I prefer a "stock" google rom without many modifications.
Thanks in advance!

I suggest the Untouched 2.0 version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2395030
As close as you're gonna' get.
OF course, you need a 9505 to run it, and nothing is perfect. It still has minor issues, but basically everything works.

Thread closed as its a Best ROM/kernel thread.
I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.
Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?
I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.
Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

Is it? I apologize then. Even if I want to talk about CM I should use the General Help forum?

Original development is for devs posting their work usually
So I searched the whole rom recoveries kernel section, did not see any base roms. If there isn't, where to info about pulling system to make one? Trying to get a custom OOS rom going as AOSP can suck it lol. Original software is always more stable IMO

What is a base ROM for you?
Normally pure AOSP is considered as the reference as it's Google code without modification. But people don't like pure AOSP because it's lacking many features people are used to. So even AOSP labeled ROM have some non AOSP add-ons.
If you want a 'pure' AOSP ROM you'll have to compile it.

Back in the days someone usually created an optimized stock Rom for different devices based off the OEMs software so that others could flash it or use it as a base for custom ROMs based off of stock.
I believe that's what he is referencing if I am not mistaken.

There is no base ROM for the OnePlus 6T. Its so AOSP like almost everything is done from source. I thought about posting a base ROM, as that is what I used to primarily use (and usually posted). I wasnt much into Source.
Another cool thing some devs due are make mods that can be flashed in magisk, and so long as you have the stock oos you can enjoy there version of stock oos with whatever tweaks they have done to it such as custom settings apps, etc.

Nailed Scott as usual. This device and how android handles files is extremely different than other phones we've both worked on as well (pretty sure that's android specific) I'm gonna have to look into the magisk thing. Never did the from source thing so that might be over my head. Don't have Linux set up on my machine either so a lot of time would have to go into just getting a stock flashable to work with.
I want to get some of the mods and themes I always post for this phone, but this might be a hurtle as I usually got a base to run with. I always try to show some love and since developers are jumping ship (because the money's not there, let's not lie and say that isn't what it's about) I know my work would be appreciated

The magisk modules are a great way to go because its reversible as well. Not sure if you knew that. You can uninstall these MagiskROM's just as easy as installing.
