[Q] No vanilla kit kat? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I´m wondering why there is no vanilla kit kat rom. Aren´t people interested in vanilla rom or is it hard to build this rom?
I know that PA is close to stock, but in future developers will add more features.

There are plenty of kk ROMS. PA/CM/gummy/cyanfox. All those are AOSP. Prob the closest you'll get to vanilla.

[Q] Nexus 7 Custom Rom On 4.2?

OK, so I'm new to this forum, so hi!
I am running Paranoid Android on my nexus and was wondering whether there are any roms based on 4.2 since it is now available.
I dont want the stock rom though, as it doesn't have the customization features that i want.
So is there a PA or CM etc. rom on 4.2?

I hate to say it but 4.2 based PA has made me switch to CM 10.1 nightlies for my custom ROM. I really wish PA would have stayed CM based for 4.2+. PA around 2.54 was incredible but removing many features is not what I would consider an improvement IMO.

GPE Roms not receiving enough support?

I find it odd that there is not a single GPE Rom with added features or toolkits (like Sense 5 Toolkit for ARHD 22.0 Sense ROM).
Als, none of the GPE ROMs have OTA capabilities. If someone is able to walk me through, I would love to use one of the system dumps or Bigxies stock roms to create an OTA capable GPE ROm. If this is against forum rules, let me know Mods.
Did you look very hard?

One of the best roms in my opinion. There is no ota, but the customazation settings are there with the included gravity box toolkit and the xtheme engine. Check it out.

or you could get the stock gpe rom and get ota....
Probably because we have CM/PA if you want a custom stock Android experience

That would make sense, except that both those roms are having their fair share of camera based issues. I love CM, but cannot stand the mediocre camera performance. I love PA even more, but the camera issues remain.

True, but those AOSP based ones aren't as optimized as the GPe. I would rather take a stable and fast experience over a laggy and customizable experience any day. I love the AOSP ROMs, but the GPe is for those who don't want to be on the bleeding edge.
On a side note, the AOSP support for this device isn't that good either. Compared to my old GS2, there was tons of development going on as far as AOSP goes. That might be due to the fact that TouchWiz was terrible (still is). I am 100% satisfied with my One converted to GPe. Plus, when 4.4 comes out we will get a stable OTA in around 2 weeks (based on previous updates) whereas CM will still be in its unofficial stages by then.
Install the Xposed framework and then gravity box. It brings a lot of customization to GPE.

Is there any AOSP stable ROM

Hi
I am looking for a ROM for my I9500, either in Android Development or Original Android Development,
that looks closest in look and feel to either 4.3 or 4.4 (Kitkat) without any crappy UI or theme.
I hate Samsung's TW UI.
I am looking for a pure Nexus kind of ROM, with least Bugs.
Is any such ROM available on XDA in Development OR Original Development?
Which is the most stable version of CM roms, for 4.3 and 4.4?
Thanks
Om

You really need to read through the forums to be honest. There are good 4.4 ROMS at the moment with nearly all features working but you need to read through the posts to see what everyone else is saying about the ROMS it's the only way you will find the best ROM for you.

CM 11 and AOSP vs Google Phone Edition

What are your thoughts on these 4.4 Kit Kat versions? I'm currently running OneDroid, a CM11 mod. Do you see certain advantages to running CM and AOSP Roms versus GPE?
What are they? Discuss.
GPE with Xposed and GravityBox is good enough for me. Adds a lot of features to a stable base.

GPE = Stable (no bugs) everything works as it should
AOSP/CM = More features, Themes, not as stable as GPE, may have some bugs or missing features.
GPE + Xposed + Gravity Box > AOSP/CM any day

[Q] Is there any vanilla KitKat 4.4.4 roms?

Is there any vanilla clean no features pure AOSP Roms for the g2 Verizon? I am interested in one. If not is there anyone that can build a Rom. I'm willing to donate for a pure AOSP Rom.

I have d801 and have been trying to find one as well for mine...would also donate if anyone knows how to build...
while there are no Vanilla one's per se... there are many great AOSP roms, mahdi rom for one is great and very stable. Just dont use any of the features it has and it will look like stock...

Yes I came from a nexus device and just loved rastakat vanilla builds. Perfect the way I like it. I tried to port myself the hammerhead AOSP Rom but it get bootloop. Don't know how to fix.

Does Viper4Audio work with PA? Its kind of a hit or miss with the AOSP ROMs, so far it only works with CM after flashing a few of them.

I believe it did a while ago. However the main dev is on hiatus and the sources have changed some with the new guy. But, it may still work. Make a backup and give it a try.
