Hi,
I'm planing to buy a LG G2 but I think, the OS is very overloaded and I would like to install stock android after buying it.
So, my questions are; is there any way to get Dark UI working on, lets say, CyanogenMod?
And, after watching some reviews, I find the feature to enable a NAS on the G2 very useful. Is it possible to integrate this option into a cyanogenmod-rom?
regards and sorry for my bad english
I can't remember if I have seen dark ui on pure CM but I have seen it on several different AOSP like/based ROMs like Beanstalk, which I am using now. You can read about it in the original Android development forum.
I don't know about NAS features.

I would assume the "NAS-Feature" would be the Wifi/Wireless Storage method. You can find the APK Here, but I'm not sure if it works.
More discussion on that Here
Hi,
I had some problems with my internet-connection, so; sorry for my late reply.
Will test the linked .apk, thanks!
Last question; the G2 has an infra-red interface with the app for it.
Is it possible to also install this app manually?
regards

Don't get me wrong, I love stock. Just lately I want something a little different. Just to try. Maybe I would miss stock after that but is there anything out there that I could try?

I agree. I've used avatar before. If you want a different look this should fit your needs. Add this plus the newest miui launcher, which you can also theme (lock screen included) and you will have a completely different look. I liked it myself but find myself always going back to stock.

I hopped onto paranoid android yesterday. The only thing bothering me so far is that the stock browser text size seems small??? What's going on? Any work around?

change the dpi in hybrid settings.
You don't need to change rom's to completely change the way your phone looks. If you want to change rom's that's great and all, but I'd say that everything cool that you see on mycolorscreen.com can be achieved with the factory rom. You just have to use your imagination and think for yourself.
Lot of options!

If you look at the development you can find some Xperia (sony), Touchwiz (samsung), Blur (motorola) and even LG alike UI's themes on roms, just look at them at development thread. If you want something closer to stock I would recommend Asylum rom, its a darker version of CM10.1 with some improvements and daily updates
Try them and find the one you like the most! Then come and tell us your experience!
Yeah I have PA. There's really no launcher that I like since Nova and Apex change the dock size a little (too spaced out). I'll take a look at avatar ROM.

Hey guys, I am currently running PA but find things aren't as smooth as I would like. What is the difference between these three roms?
What are your personal preferences for each?
Oh, as well I am running the stock PA kernel for the display calibration. Does Franco kernel offer a similar calibration? I am afraid I will lose the calibration if I switch.
Thanks a ton guys!

I'll provide an answer for the Franco kernel question -> Yes and Gamma correction as well via the franco.Kernel updater application from the Play store. Also allows you to save the display color profiles as well which is always convenient.
I know you didn't say anything about this but have you taken a look at JellyBam ROM? It nicely incorporates all three ROMs into one (and among other things).

Paranoidandroid allows you to perform lots of customizations to your device like the hybrid mode it porvides in it's setting. The tablet or phablet mode. It was the pioneer that started the PIE interface. So simply said, it's made for customizations loaded with useful settings and tweaks. CM is based off stock rom.
SITE To Paranoid-Android
http://paranoid-rom.com/
CM is based on AOSP or Android Open Source Project. It's purely based on stock rom and that is the Team total focus point.
SITE TO CM
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
INFO:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod
AOSP is the source that makes up Android OS. The OS you see on your Nexus device is AOSP. Pure android without Touchwiz, Sense and etc. It's basically Android without it's "clothes".
INFO ON AOSP
http://source.android.com/faqs.html
That's all I know. Lol. Perhaps someone else chime in more about it.
These answers are great guys thank you. I have to inquire further about the gamma correction though. If I'm clear, to get the awesome display settings that are baked into the PA kernel I will need to buy the application and fool with settings in it?
Or do the display settings come as a pre made option in the theme?

I assume you're talking about the franco.kernel updater app. Yes you can fool around with it. There are preloaded color profiles in the app that you can choose from. You can find out of that in "color control" from the app.

your kernel has a huge influence on how smooth a rom will run. if you like PA, try flashing a different kernel or a different version of the one you are using
I came from T-Mobile and Att, so I really don't know anyone in Verizon community. I'm looking at all the rooms and with the exception of Carbon and clean Rom have no knowledge whatsoever. Yes I've read the threads by I'm still a lil uneducated. First is there a way to run the stock room with PIE mod? I really got used to pie, and don't want to lose any of the LG apps. Anyone takes the time to give me a synopsis of a rom, I'd appreciate it. Aicp is new to me, as are they all

LMT Launcher will give you pie controls on stock launcher: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/23/lmt-launcher-brings-pie-goodness-without-the-custom-rom/
Most of the ROMs are very similar. They have PIE and Halo built in a long with the a ton of usual mods. With titanium backup you should be able to flash each of the ROMs and get your apps and data restored quiickly so you can explore the ROM options.
The only roms with pie are AOSP based roms like cm10.2 and Paranoid Android.
Carbon has it. Getting lmt to work is freaking me

Hello all,
Browsing the cyanogenmod website I am unable to find how this custom rom actually differs from stock. Could anyone tell me how it differs in tersm of features, performance etc.. ?

Unfortunately, the best way to go is to flash cm and then you'll see the difference(s)! Don't forget to do a nandroid backup first though.

There's no real reason to use CM on a Nexus phone, other than for since variety. Stock plus xposed lets you do everything a custom ROM does.
CM is really made for phones burdened with terrible manufacturers skins.

Don't listen to this post , if it was true then no dev would release a rom here. There are plenty of roms that offer a lot more then exposed + modules. Even stock roms offer ART runtime which isn't possible with exposed. Try a few and ask questions on the rom in question thread as most people hear are more then happy to help.

I don't have the exact numbers, but quite a few roms are based on CM. Take CM out of the mix, and there will be only be a few roms to choose from.

Cm offers better control of your phone compared with stock rom. Besides, pravicy guard and crypted message is cool.

I prefer AOSP, code is cleaner, sure devs would agree.

htc dream and htc magic, first devices with cm support had "nexus like" stock rom. So i guess that CM roms are still good for nexus devices
I reverted back to stock, the reasons for this are the battery drain with CM 11 M2 and the camera issue and the crashing, two of these I also experienced with CM 10.2. I am currently running franco kernel with the Dalvik/Bionic optimization and until now the battery life and performance have been like never before!
let me tell you someting buddy. the battery has several charging cycles ,wich means that over time it will not be as new.this is main reason for the bad battery life.

I don't have any of these issues on CM. The phone drains under 2% an hour while sleeping.

good for everyone that enjoys CM, I do not think I will be returning to it, going to stick with PA for the near future if any rom is going to be flashed. I tested the battery life compared to recent usage, not that this matters anymore.
I've seen a few different roms such as the hyperdrive, jelly "beans", and BajaROM. Those seem to be the favorites of this forum and I was just wondering what you liked about each rom or if you have any reasons you chose a certain rom, I'd love to hear them! :good:

I'm using stock modified by myself a little bit just because I got tired of having to add stuff and I'd rather just remove. As for other ROMs I used to use CleanROM which is very good in all areas except you have to add in anything Samsung you might want, I think it also had a few bugs but nothing serious. Tried Bean's and Hyper Drive both were very nice to use and look at but I found it too troublesome to have that many settings especially since some things would cancel or break others (not often) so I've stayed away from those two for the last gen or so.

All of the roms offered here have many wonderful features and benefits...it is up to the individual user to make their own, independent, determinations as XDA is not a support site.
These threads soon become arguments over which is better, they always do....Thread closed
