This is my first android device and I have rooted my phone mainly to be able to use brilliant apps such as Touch Control. I really want the 4.2.2. update but noticed that apps like faux display will not work properly on the 4.2.2 kernel. I am trying to learn more about kernels and ROMs but cant find answer to these questions even after reading various threads..
Could anyone tell me what is the difference between a custom kernel and kernel manager apps that change stock kernel? Also could anyone tell me what I would be able to do with a custom ROM that apps do not allow me to do on a stock ROM..
Thanks
Hello, I will be giving the xt907 to my girlfriend for her birthday 01/03/13 I would like to make some customizations and adjust some setting for her convenience like adding menu buttons to the navigation bar and add/change some notification quick settings.. So that would be a baked ROM for 4.1-4.3 I guess?, which is a great stable and reliable ROM to give this away with?
ROMS I've tried:
Carbon 4.3-4.4 jittery, lags
slimrom 4.3 - slimkat 4.4 = also lags , jittery
OSE ROM 4.4 - not responsive lag
M Rom is great but doesn't have the cutomizations I want.
OSE ROM
Now I'm going to try liquid smooth v2. 37 nightly (4.2.2) //
since I'm new to the Razr M forum can you help me by giving me your most solid ROM?
I don't own an S5 yet so I can't test out the current theme options but I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I prefer the look of stock android over TW. As AOSP roms are fully working yet, is there a way to make the S5 look like stock android?
I know I can use a different launcher, many of which probably have a stock android theme. But.. do these themes change everything to look like stock android, such as the settings app, pop up windows etc? I looked in the Alliance Rom thread which has many theme options but I couldn't see a stock kitkat style theme.
Hello,
I am cursed with having GT-S7390 I've rooted it and installed CWM also installed a slim ROM from one of the threads on here but the phone is still slow.
So here's what I did I used RAM Expander pro and it made it slightly faster on optimal settings.
What I am looking for is further tweaking guides also theming for a semi-stock rom.
Bear in mind I've tried xposed and it barely supports TouchWiz ROMS if you've got a ready theme that would change the ugly dialer the colour of settings top menu etc please share it.
Also the mail looking with it's black background.
I've also tried theme chooser but still same thing. If anybody can port cyanogenmod or if anybody wants to test anything on these devices I am more than willing to help and I am a unix engineer so I have got some background how android functions..Still not a developer though.
I recently rooted my phone. I wanted to install a custom rom. My friend installed cleankat v2.6 but i wanted to go for something better. As expected none of the nicer ones like cyanogenmod or paranoid android or aokp roms were available. I managed to install htc sense rom . it is working but has lots of bugs. As soon as i make a call it crashes and screen goes blank. Nothing opens .it doesnt even swit h off and i have to remove the battery every time i make a call and reboot it.
Secondly many apps including settings crash for no reason.
Plz. Help coz i really want dat rom working fine

Hi Murali,
The nature of mobile development is such as you have mentioned above. It doesn't work like windows or linux etc where you can install a generic OS on any system configuration by any manufacturer. The firmware has to be specifically built for your device. It takes great skill to port inter-device especially inter-manufacturer ROMs, so the fact that you actually have a bootable and semi functional SENSE ROM for a non HTC device itself is a big achievement. But it will never function on your Micromax phone like it does on an actual HTC phone. There are too many dependencies to counter. Also, there is a lot of closed source code that is not freely available to developers, especially with overlays like Sense and TouchWiz.
I would suggest you look for a good Custom ROM built on your phone's official firmware or wait for support from CyanogenMod, PA, Slim or such series to offer support to your device.
Sorry for the bad news, but I hope it helps.

Will flashing a custom kernel help or change the compatibility of the rom?

It might. Then again, it might not. Changing kernels can make a huge difference in performance, both in a good and a bad way. There are too many variables to contend with, and without a strong active community behind your device, any answer I give you will be just guesswork and not based on facts. You can always try out a couple of compatible kernels and test out the difference.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
