[Q] Which one is better?

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

[Q] is there a pacman v23.0.0 with halo for the nexus 4?

I wanted this specific ROM for my nexus 4, because it's 4.2.2 JB. I tried upgrading to 4.3 pacman, and it overheated my phone, used all my RAM, just multiple problems. Any help find this ROM would be much appreciated.

Why is this in development section?

Thanks everyone for NOT helping. I've already tried that, and got no answers, figured I tried and look somewhere else, but apparently everyone here is useless too.

PACman works fine. There are no heating issues unless you use the phone heavily. I haven't read about heating issues in the latest posts in the PACman thread. Using the phone heavily gets you heating issues on any ROMs, even stock. Try a clean install.
Anyways, try keeping questions in the right section next time. There is the development thread, probably somewhere to post bugs, and also the Q&A thread.

Galaxy s5 roms

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:

How many developers working on Ascend XT?

I know there is Custom Rom thread but it's kinda outdated and most devs updates are spread into different threads.
But my main question is:
Who are currently working on custom roms?
Which version and base? RR, Lineage, MM or Nougat etc....
Obviously it will not ask any ETA... Im patiently waiting for any rom not stock based. And hope the best for the devs can complete the task.

Not the same... i was asking what was going on with custom roms because there was no sign of active developments.
Now the question is: how many are working on it and their status.

Hi guys,
I want to notice you that a new build of Paranoid Android is available on the official site

The AOSPA 7.3.0 comes with various bug fixes and performance improvements.
I'm testing to discover if major bugs were be resolved.
For now, overnight freeze was not occurred.

magisk - work
substratum theme - work
gestures - works
unlock phone with face - work
viper fx - doesnt work

Thanks for the information. Nice to see the development for our onyx but still goes. Is this the official thread here? Or is it only on Google Plus?

What kind of GAPPS do I need to install PA ?

@kratosboss are you new maintainer for onyx?
--
Sim slot 2 bugs still persist since the first build of PA.
Any workaround for this?

Sorry man,
I was writing from my phone and I made mistake.
I'm not the mantainer of this ROM. I only found the post on xda (not the forum) with Onyx specifically bug fixes.
Although OVERNIGHT FREEZE still occurred!
I'm switching to AOSCP 'cause in AOSP 8.0 the equalizer don't work (even with Magisk and modules) and the battery drain in higher than normal!

With the PA from the firt release to the last 7.3.0 every morning the opx is dead and the alarm don't ring. I have to press power button to force the restart. How can I resolve? Thanks

7.2.0, 7.2.1, 7.2.3, 7.3.0, 7.5.0, 8.0, 10.0....... no different.
Q: why bother to flash? A: because im dumb enough
Q: who is the official maintainer for onyx anyway? A: NONE, a ghost, i dont really care
Q: Do you like the new PA's added features XYZ? A: NO. its a gimmick for me.
Q: So its useless? A: MAYBE. but its unusable.
Q: will he (maintainer) abandoned us again with broken build or unfixed old issues (just like the former maintainer) A: i hope not. but its crossed in my mind
End of chat: good luck then.. | you too..

Yep thats what I want to say...why people so curious about this ROM if they doesn't even know who is maintainer for this ROM..People here creating threads to share issues but don't know who is going to solve.

The ROM seems fine and functional but it doesn't seem to use OOS camera blobs so you can't get manual mode in any camera. Why are we hell bent on having crappy camera software?

Can anyone confirm working of sdcard in exfat in 7.3.0

This is a thread for PA marshmallow. Not Nougat.
The original thread for PA Nougat is closed because the dev had to quit.
There were no communication from PA team to OPX users which is quite sad (because that means that we won't have "full support". NB : I'm not criticizing the team).

Correct ! Burt it not anly the number of post, it's the fact that the dev there doesn't post anymore or update the topic.
The official PA 7 thread is closed.

When I tried the 7.3.1 before coming back do LOS 14.1, it didn't work (I had to backup and re-format to FAT32).

Paranoid Android bug for OPX
I have a really serious problem here. I flashed my OPX the rom with nano g-apps as mentioned in the thread. Initial set up was fine. I configured personal settings. Now the device sometimes hangs during the usage. It just hangs while I'm using. Not a particular app or particular thing but it suddenly stops working and gets stuck. I then have to press power button for like 30 seconds to reboot it. I thought this is because first time but then this kept repeating and I'll be battery less if it continues.
Any help? If you wanna see some kind of bug report for my device, please tell me where I would find it to upload here.

PA is not updated anymore by a dedicated dev to OPX. So specific bugs won't be solved.
I'd advise to try an other rom...
Except that , you can try a custom kernel on it if it's possible (at one moment, RJ blocked kernel installation... Don't know if still the same.)
