Cyanogenmod vs MCR of modaco

hey i was wodnering wich one you think its better?im using a cm 5.0.8 and its cool and stable and since froyo its out cm its making a great effort to compile and take time to get a stable and cool rom, and its ok i undertsand. in other hand we can see paul already has mcr for froyo i dont have enough time to flash roms since of work im out all day and this days i even woerk saturday and sunday are for GF
so im wondering wich one you prefer?im semi new on android perhaps i already have some apps, backups rooted phone i know a little adb and so on. so
wich one you like more? CM or MCR?

Oh gawd - what kind of answers do you expect to that question?

i personally liked mcr 21 but cm6 should be out soon so i would wait for that.

These are 2 completely different ROMs. Modaco philosophy is being as close to stock as possible with some good additions. Cyanogen is all about tweaks, performance gains, customization, etc. If you like stock then go with modaco.

[Q] Opinions for Best Rom

I am currently using Xylon nightlies, but I have seen the new PA Halo feature, looks very interesting, and I have seen that PAC man has many of the features from CM, AKOP, and PA. What do you think is the best rom out for the N4?
Maybe we can give the features you like the most?
for Xylon I believe a very nice feature is the hybrid settings for the UI, and it has a lot of tweaks.

best rom threads are prohibited on xda.. plread d rules before posting.. evry rom has its own pros n cons.. try it yourself as u have rooted ua phone n decide , njoy

my fault, thanks tho!

What he said. Just take a day to back up all your stuff and flash them all. Once you find what you want, then take the time to get comfortable and set it all up.

Where is HALO within CM ROM's?

As the titles states, I've not seen HALO on any of the CM based or AOSP based rom's? That was a great little edition which really made the phone look cool, does anyone know if it's a simple add on or if it's even already been implemented into a ROM and i've just overlooked it?
I'm aware that there is an app which tries to emulate it but it's nowhere near as intuitive or as integrated.
Any thoughts on it or if it's even in the pipeline to be added to any of our ROMs?
Cheers.
EDIT: 50 views and no replies am i the only one who misses the HALO notifier? so bad

Ain't HALO dead long ago with the restructure (read: degeneration) of PA?
/RANT/
PA was once a nice ROM. Hybrid UI, PIE, HALO, all sorts of unique and original tricks, and open to features. Now they're just sticking close to AOSP and reluctant to even implement a shortcut in power menu.

I'm quite sad at this, I do miss Paranoid Android, they made some pretty decent ROMs, also dirty unicorns although apparently they do have a ROM, i just can't find it.
Do you think it'll never happen? We have AOSIP ?!??!
(Which for the record is a stella ROM)

On newer Android versions, Google is restricting the freedom of UI customization by unifying UI across devices and ROMs, so I don't see the chance for UI breakthroughs like HALO. Sure do hope some team can do it though.

Halo died a long time back, before PA even called it quits. For AOKP we have an unofficial build for our device:

And official:

Cheers mate, its a shame that.
There's been a few things like that, which have popped their heads up then went away again (CRT although you can get this one through xposed now)
Doesn't matter it's not something i need, it's was just a nice touch which for me made a little difference
Thanks again chaps.

I quite liked Halo while it was around too, one of the few customisations that I actually found useful.

We have the heads up which is ok but it's no Halo is it ?
More than certain i'll be flashing D.Unicorns, will see if they have any ways to add it but i'm pretty sure after whats been said here that it's probably gone for good.
Real shame.

ParanoidAndroid vs PureFusion for OnePlus 3T???

Hi,
After my personal research I have narrowed down 'my' preferred roms to these two roms,
ParanoidAndroid by @TheCrazyLex and team
PureFusion by @INT3NSE07 and team
Please discuss and help users to understand the better ROM for their devices and I think it will be more beneficial to understand how these roms are better than stock OOS too.
Thank you both the teams and all wonderful @devs of "all roms"

I think you have not tried Dirty Unicorns, have you?

Nope, and actually none yet...
but you can share your views as said in the OP like
-camera quality(low light)
-network stability
-CAF based or ...? whats the advantages etc.. whatever you know and feel like sharing it here...
-RAMconsumption
-Charging stability
-System fluidity/stability "after long time"...
-substratum support
-call/music quality
-idle battery drain

with me viperos is best rom for 3T

Ok, so Dirty Unicorns is a AOSP/CAF based rom has all the features that you would expect from a custom rom. Every thing works solid.
But the most distinguishing thing for me is this rom supports fully working OOS camera. Yes, fully working which i have never come across in any other roms so far.
You can download the final nougat build from here as the developer has already started work on Oreo. I'm sure you wont be disappointed. Many people dont know about the rom because they dont have a xda thread.

You already have it narrowed down to 2 ROMs. Just flash them both, try them for yourself, and see which you like better. In the hours you waited for responses to this thread, you could have already done this, and made the decision on your own.
It's pointless asking strangers (who have different preferences and usage patterns) which is better. In the end, what you think is "best" probably has little orno bearing on what others think/prefer.

DU seems very interesting ROM...I definitely going to try when 8.0 builds starting to drop....
But where is a nice active forum to discuss about this ROM?

You exactly had same preference as mine..I prefer PureFusion as there is active community who listens to you and provide necessary fixes at earliest...PA is smooth too and has excellent battery life...

Yes, obvious reply but I am rather looking into technicality of these roms...
for any product if you know the process it is built with you use it wisely... ?

Yea, I have already joined that group and even enjoying it
but I think I opened this thread with other intention and "I think" people are not getting my point
my point here is this
say when you compare stock android(AOSP) vs say MIUI (heavily modified AOSP with bloatwares)
so most of people know this and will choose AOSP for good performance
NOW, PF vs PA both are AOSP/CAF based roms, so what "you guys" think(or have experienced or I missed) what are the main points which anyone of these ROMs have over each other?

As a long standing paranoid user I can just recommend this ROM again and again. Everything works, you basically never encounter a bug and you are not swamped with useless features. The battery life hasn't let me down so far and paielred with the modded gcam you can get photos comparable to stock oxygenOS (maybe even better)
#StayParanoid

I would suggest AOSPA Extended over PA

If you want that everything(i mean everything) is working and no fc:s, go Paranoid. I get almost stocklike feeling using it. Customisations are minimal. My stream provider app is not working on custom roms and that is deal breaker for me most of the times.
OT. OOS is light and good stock. You almost dont want to flash custom roms. Novadays i prefere stable beyond customisations. (too old?)
PS. I dont have any experience of AOSPA Extended

I'd disagree as AOSPA Extended isn't what PA is all about. PA is all about refinement to the last little detail. If you have PA and tell someone that this is the stock system, nobody would think otherwise (except us people who know XDA)
That's the beauty of it. You don't have many features, but the ones you have make perfect sense and are implemented so seamlessly, that you could miss it for a stock Android feature.

Only AOSP/PIXEL Pie ROM development?

I really prefer having less customization because the result in bad translation and bugs, is there any rom coming soon that will be completely stock android?

I tried previous build of this and haven't found any rom downloading this now.

I've actually found the last Arrow Oreo rom to be surprisingly stable and stock-like. It's what I imagine the device COULD have been like stock. I also dont like roms that veer too far from stock and this is what I've settled on.
Still can't beat stock battery life though. None of the customs can. Now that Oreo is out and the kernel has been made open source, I was really hoping we'd see something come out that was closer to the performance of stock, but it last I checked most efforts were on experimental Pie development rather than perfecting what we have.

Yeah, i like that one but i found some bugs and it has quite a lot of features that i don't really need
I would like a completely AOSP ROM with the sqiared QS/dialogs but guess we won't see one since there is no AOSP maintainrr for our device

Curious, what bugs did you find?
Mine has been been Rock solid, only issue I've had is the nav buttons don't rotate with the screen when in landscape. But I can live with that. Other features are that I didn't want (like tap to wake) you can disable. It feels stock to me, I can't imagine anything more basic than this that wouldn't be leaving something out.
