Hi all, my wife wants me to enable flash on her Nexus 7 which I obviously can't do as she has the latest ROM from Google on it (4.4 I think ), what's a good custom ROM ( by good I mean stable not interested in overclocking and all that other stuff ) for this device ? I've tried googling but have been overwhelmed with information so I thought I'd try here. TIA.

Bro, 1. this is the wrong section, only ROM/kernel/mod threads belong here and 2. this type of thread is not allowed by the XDA rules, because there's not a best ROM, it depends on your personal preference [emoji28]
By the way, I'm using PA 4 stable and it works very well for my needing
Oops sorry, by best I meant comes reccomended - will post in proper place next time thanks

As for most recommended, that is not much different than asking best
This is a development site and members seeking "best" or "popular" or "recommended" are advised to read through the Development sections
The ROMs are all there and you can assume the ones on the first page are most recent and most popular
Read through the threads to see any issues and if they will affect your usage or not
No one uses their phone exactly the same as you or your wife. So it is best to decide for yourself as to what is best.
You will find most users of a ROM will think that one is the best or most stable, so it all depends on the user.

So I just got my a500 today from BB. (and I am pretty sure there will be many more on here later today)
I am already about to root it, but now I need to know which rom to go with.
Is there a thread where all the roms are compared and contrasted. I don't want to start a flame war.
I just want simple objective pros and cons of each rom. I searched but couldn't find such a thread and its overwhelming to go look at each Rom thread individually.
TIA!

Sorry to dissapoint you but there is no "best rom " . There are no so many actually compared to the hd2 section for instance so I don't think you'll be overwhealmed with some reading. As long as you have CWM installed you can try them all and choose the one that suites your taste and needs. Some of them are ports, others are Acer based, there are 2 custom kernels as well, so go ahead and try. For some, particular features would be awesome,but for others the same features would be unwanted, that's why a comparisson like the one you suggest is irrelevant. Whatever you choose to do, read the stickies first. The "best rom thread" has been started over and over again in all of the device specific sections but always end up with the same answer - there's no such thing.

ClockworkMod - custom recovery which enables you to flash, backup, wipe, partition etc.

^He beat me
ClockWorkMod = recovery that will permit you to backup/wipe/flash roms.
If you download Acer Recovery Tool from the market you can use that app to install CWM very easily. Hope it helps.
Hi guys! This is my first time posting on this forum, but i have come to many threads as a visitor to figure out problems regarding my google nexus 4 and i have to say this is one of the most useful forums ever! I can find nearly everything here, its totally awesome..
now to the point, my question is Which one gives faster and better performance? Cm10.1 or combination of kernel franco r136 and rom paranoid android alpha? because i recently saw a video on youtube where this person was testing custom nexus 4 vs stock samsung s4 and using only franco r136 and paranoid rom he increased his performance by A LOT (compared to my antutu benchmark which was utterly disappointing.. around 16.5k ) without overclocking..
if the combination is better than how to install the kernel and rom (can anyone link me to a noobs guide to installing roms and kernels?) because i just rooted my phone 3 days ago without checking the "custom recovery check box" .. (btw, the nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 is awesome!!!) ..
i am currently running stock kernel and rom i think and my phone is only rooted.. (kernel version: 3.4.0 and build number jwr66y)..
Thanks for reading my first post and thread!

oke a question though.. since posting in that thread without actually trying to install a rom or kernel would be useless..
if i make a backup of all my apps.. and say i install cm10.1 or the combination i mentioned in my first post.. will i be able to restore my apps using the nexus root toolkit or will i have to install all my apps from again..?
I have a touchwiz device so im not fully qualified to answer your question. Thats why I gave you a ask any question for your device thread. Most members use apps like titanium backup to back there apps up

wrong thread
We don't allow best ROM/Kernel threads as outlined in the A message from the moderators - All users please read sticky in the general section.
4) No threads or posts asking for the best/most stable ROM/Kernel/Mod/whatever, or created for the purpose of comparing Phones/ROMs/Kernels/Mods/whatever:
These threads/posts will be deleted promptly and without warning. They have a history of causing problems due to trolls, and fanboys, along with various troublemakers, and therefore are no longer allowed. Regardless of that, there is really no way to judge whether or not a particular piece of work is better than another because it's all relative to begin with. If you want to know what piece of work is better for you, install something and try it out for a while. If you don't like it, try something else.

Which is the best rom & kernel for our z1?
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Free mobile app
I think it's personal preference.
First you should ask yourself if you want to have a Stock ROM or a ASOP based ROM (like CM or ParanoidAndroid).
I personally prefer ASOP based ROMs. At the moment I use PA but I think about switching back to CyanogenMod because for me it's a bit more smooth.
But as I said thats just my personal opinion and you should test around a bit and find a ROM that fits best for you.

How about omni rom or resurrection remix?
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Free mobile app
Actually I think it's too much of a mishmash. Those ROMs are Cherrypicking from every Source (CM / AOSP or PA/AOSPA) and sometimes the features aren't optimized to work together. So I personally don't use this kind of ROMs.
These "best rom" threads are not allowed on XDA
Please head over to the development section and original development section and try them out for yourself.

Mr. @gregbradley, I am happy that you was welcome in Moderators Club, I know it was coming.
Best Regards.
..now I have to give you some respect..lol..
As mentioned best ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA. The question is subjective. Best advice is to head over to the development section, try some out and see which "best" suits your needs.

Hello to everyone, I'm new in rooting and flashing but I tried sometimes. Now I'm on stock lollipop 5.0 I tried unroot as I saw on you tube but I can't get ota updates anymore even after wipe data reset etc. My fingerprint scanner is not working and also the camera is blacked sometimes. I wanna ask if I can solve all this and also if there is a fast and smooth rom with no problems. I read something about the zombie rom which is like s6. I hate touchwiz and maybe the new one is better. Can anyone give some advise?

Try wiping and flashing a stock rom in Odin. As for fast and smooth roms, the fastest roms are usually CyanogenMod or it's forks. I wouldn't recommend Zombie rom, as it has some basic bugs which need to be ironed out. And it's still running standard S5 touchwiz (plus some nice S6 mods and apps).
Basically if you want a stable, fast and non-touchwiz rom CM is the way to go.
Otherwise it's all very individual and depends on how you use your device, so the best way to know is to try for yourself. Threads about the "best rom" are usually forbidden. Also, since you say that you're a newbie I highly recommed to take some time to read ALL OF THE STICKY THREADS in each section of the S5 forum. Reading them usually helps A LOT. :good:
Please Post All Questions In The Q&A Section.
They do not belong in the General Section.

Thanks a lot for your answer and I'm sorry I didn't know about the forums terms cause i we in a rush to fix it. I ll do my best to search better and posting in the Q-A section
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
After trying lots of ROMs 5.1.1 and 6 that didn't make me happy I'm back on stock 5.0.1 which was the last release for my phone. I like it the best since it's the only ROM that hasn't major bugs and it remains fast over time where the custom ROMs suffer from major lag after time and weird crashes I do not experience in the stock ROM.
I would like however to get rid of all the bloatware.
Is there a stock ROM which is optimised and debloated? I don't seem to find one and I've looked around believe me.
Hope anyone has a good tip.
Sorry bro,can't help you but
There is a rule where you shouldn't post "what ROM to chose"
So your thread needs to be closed

I don't think you actually can ask people for these kind of stuff on the Original Android forum.. This need to be asked in General Stuff i think or its just not asked and try yourself or in the ROM forums itself to ask how stock it is i dont know.
Ok thanks
Mods will move this thread to Q&A shortly, but if you're looking for customized stock ROMs, you want to look in the Development subforums, instead of the ORIGINAL Android Development subforums.
