Hi there
I have made this thread because the differences between the Roms around are not quite clear to me. I am now on Auras2.7 (LB) I like it a lot but I am wondering about the differences between stock based custom roms for our XZ's. Is it only theming or has anyone noticed any (big) differences?
Furthermore, are Auras mods like circle battery, metalic animated backgroud etc compatible with other roms? These mods are the only reason I hesitate to try other Roms out. Before Auras I was on KA till his first XZ was broken, but now Auras bought a HTC One all chances are open for a new favourite .
Any thoughts? Please share your opinion and your experiences in comparison to other Roms.
ps. Switching between roms is nothing personal I am very grateful for all the nice stuff these developers bring to our devices:good:
Comparison of ROMs is not allowed in XDA as far as i know.
It's always better to check the available ROMs in the Development section and see what suits you best. If it's about the working MODs only then may be fine, let's not go the performance issue.

I do not see what's wrong with sharing feedback and compare roms with eachother as long as everyone is respectful and grateful to the developers. Some people like to have powerfull roms, some like a long lasting battery and to some the aesthetics are the most important what's wrong with discussions about that? I think such a thread can be very usefull for end-users as they don't have to try any rom (there are quite a few atm luckily) and for developers because they get more objective end-user feedback and know what is most important to them. If it is not allowed and anyone have a good explanation for it I will remove this thread or mods can remove it if they like.

Hi everyone.
Not only me but, I think, many of you are attracted by how Energy ROM looks like. But the problems with memory do not allow to most of the users to have it for much time on our diamonds. That is why I want to ask the members of this forum to attach here files and cab's that will help to get an appearance of Energy Rom for the original manila 2.5. Thanks in advance
(In this topic you can see screenshots in the second post). This looks really nice and I want to have a similar look of Sense UI (on another rom)

Yeah let's not... I dont appreciate people doing this to my ROM. Thanks. If you want the EnergyROM experience.. download the EnergyROM and do your own RAM tweaks if it bothers you that much. Lots of people use it, as I cook it, so it can't be THAT bad.
but what is the problem with posting some themes and visual modifications?
he's not asking for someone to modify your ROM.
Im using energy since July 09 and I have to admit that Im moving to a much lighter ROM.
The "EnergyROM experience" ends with other ROM or in the moment that you have to deal with ram cleaners, but thats not the point.
I want a clean ROM with the eyecandy effect that you achieve.
I really appretiate your work! Thanks.
So, I am not rom-bilder and I am not going to use yours skin in the mercenary purposes. All I need is your eyecandy skin for htc sense and nothing else. Just for me. I respect your work and all your roms, but unfortunately there are some reasons why I can not use them.

Lol
Anyhow, let's all respect NRGZ28's great work and not copy stuff if the man doesn't want that.
My suggestion: Set the pagepool for the energy rom u like to 6 or 8. I use 8, don't notice any performance loss and hardly have to clean ram. (I don't use Sense)
I posted this thread just because i am kinda disappointed with HD2 rom selection, as i am hardcore rom flasher. Don't get me wrong, i like all chefs and i'm not taking sides. If you don't like the thread don't flame me, but u can report it to be deleted if you wish. Otherwise read on
As comparison i took roms of my previous phone, Samsung Omnia. If you look at their thread http://www.modaco.com/category/368/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussion/ you can well enough see that after 2.5 years rom development is still kicking!
Every chef shows alot of dedication to rom, they build up their own interfaces, new looks etc. Every rom is unique, and i'm afraid we don't have this with HD2.
And yes, i know about dinik, but if there are more people using it then stock, it isn't as unique, don't u think...
In short summary, i'd just want to see some more young enthusiastic chefs (like sanjeev, maybe) so not every rom thread goes: ...sense 2016 CFC'd..GTX/Black..dinik iconset...
you can also post your experience or prove me wrong sorry to waste 3min of your life..
edit: will try to post some pictures to prove my point

Maybe you make your own ROM to share with us and give us a better choice?
Not sure i entireley agree with you.
Most chefs actually think about the user more than you probably think. So by providing a really fast, yet stock looking rom, you, the user, can add your own customisations that you deem necessary.
However, when you are talking about everybody using the same customisations, it's also down to the user. For example, im sure many of you use Dinik's icons/mods etc. So if it was built into the rom, it would be ready out of the box. No need to install all of the mods over and over again.
I dont think they're not being innovative, but infact providing what you need. I would be gutted if i spent a hell of a lot of time making a whole theme for my phone, only to realise people complain about it or just install other mods over it.

actually, i tried, but it turned out to be crap xD slow and laggy.
again, i'm not dissin' anyone, just saying! i like rom chefs a lot, and i know how much job gets into making a proper rom-as i said i tried and failed miserbly.
and i didn't mention i heavily customize almost every rom i try, unless it has something new to try. It's nice to build up your own config, but hey, sometimes it feels really nice to see someone stand out (as dinik did in beginning, and then GTX -and now mostly everyone likes these)
well i better shut up now i guess
im new on this forum, well i was wondering witch android is better, the linux or froyo? i just got my hd2 from tmobile and i want to make it a android phone. also can any one help me out on what i need to do to install android on my hd2???
oh no you didn't!!!!!!!
You should really have posted this in general Android discussion, this forum is for develpment of Android.
But you just need to hard SPL your phone, and follow the instructions posted in the stickies. Not going to bother posting it as it's very easy to find pinned at the top of the forum. Also you will probably want an Evo or Desire based build but that's as far as I can help you, everything else is sort of trial and error.

this should help you
This is getting as bad as the G1 forum

I kinda feel bad for how much your about to be owned...
The fist few threads in the General forum explain everything you need to know, and pretty much every build has individual instructions.
Simple answer in there is no 'best android'. Each build will suit everyone differently. Look at the features of each one a pick one you think will suit. You'll probably need to flash a new radio and ROM before hand... spend some time reading and try to get familiar with the whole process.
The best one is the one I use

Do not answer these threads seriously. If anyone wants to install Android then they will read the instructions that have been there forever or do a google search for one of the million pages out there. It's one thing to help someone who is using their own mind to think. It is something completely different to help someone who expects you to do the thinking for them.
In short, dont encourage this behavior by responding to these threads with a serious answer. He violated forum rules by making this thread.
thread closed buddy,
Find the build that fits you best.
Hello,

For the amazing Dilidroid Rom - personally one of my favourites. Looks stunning.
Check out the thread or try the rom? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1717883

Good move on putting yourself out there, but may I add something? If you're looking for work, paid or otherwise, don't limit yourself. By asking for only "ROMs or threads that are well known or have some decent amount of views/users", you're setting yourself up to fail. I can almost guarantee you that any large development project already has it's graphic taken care of. Instead, why not offer your services to smaller/less known devs? Not only is this good because a) you actually stand a chance of finding work, but also b) because, whether we like to admit it or not, we as people are shallow; we base things off the face value. We do judge books by their covers, both consciously and subconsciously. You can have the best ROM in all the lands, partnered with the fastest, smoothest kernel that delivers crazy battery life, but if you've got banners, etc. done up in MS Paint, you're guaranteed to instantly lose a tonne of potential users.
I can't tell you how many times I've left a thread thirty seconds after viewing it, because the banners, logos, text, and everything is simply downright hideous. If reflects, if you can't even bother to make your work look good, what does that say about your effort in your development? At the same time, I've tried a lot of different ROMs, kernels and apps simply based off their looks/screenshots/logos, etc..
Try to get over who you want to work for, and start thinking about who would accept your work.

more in development
is it realy worth installing a rom i have no problem with mine, i used to add a rom to all my phones ,but now samsung has got it right, for the few extra tweaks does any of these roms please you guys.im not trying to bash anyones work ,i just cant see what more you can do for the s5 ,out of the box for me its fantastic

^lol, but seriously 700 posts and still dont know whats doin.
If you have ask, then I'd say no. A rom is not worth it. If you do your homework instead, then you would already know the answer!
It's like saying do you need to modify a car, probably not. Taste for me has no limit

Mods please move this post. OP is not following the rules...
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium HD app
first i know its wrong section and this will be likely closed rather than moved but anyway.
installing a rom is you choice, i dont have the s5, but if i had i would do so, dude on this soc, this thing lags while scrolling lists and changing homescreens (wtf?) and animations are normally choppy (i used one for about a week). also i dont like touchwiz ui, for me, touchwiz only in note series.(but i would keep in mind a custom stock, since some features are usefull, and the camera app is really good)
If going custom wasn't really worth it, we wouldn't have had XDA. This places exists for the sole reason that someone somewhere thought that his device could do that extra mile, just with a little tweaking. We would have never reached 5.6 million members here if people did not agree to that sentiment.
However, to each their own. If you are happy with your current setup, there is nothing wrong with that. Stay stock or stay custom, the choice remains yours.
