Hi guys
I'm searching for an Android 6 ROM for Mako that:
Is as stock as possible
Is as bug-free as possible
Works with Xposed (I'm reading around that at this point not all of the MM ROMs do?)
Which one do you guys recommend? I'm confused, there seem to be a lot of variants out there, each one with little differences and nuances... can anyone recommend the best choice(s) for the above requirements?

Chroma is generally considered to be a close to stock stable Rom. Don't know about xposed tho, since the dev doesn't want discussion about it in his thread.
short answer
: none :
long answer
what you look for is fake nexus rom, problem you cant root it, so no xposed.
you can try others though they all have options built-in and have root, so no idea why you will use xposed on those.

Can't you just flash chainfires modified boot image and super su to root it?

I've used a heavily customized ROM for a long time (Euphoria) but now I wanted to try the stock + xposed + GravityBox combo, see if I liked it better. So I was searching for a near-stock (so it doesn't interfere with GB)

Hi,
Is it possible to customise the navigation bar (get PIE controls, reduce the size) without changing ROM ?
Thanks.
why'd you wanna do that. you would need to take inferior stuff and dork around with hacks and exploits. if you go that route dont pride yourself running stock afterwards, it'll be a patchy mess, far away from a polished experience.
to some extend i can appreciate whats possible with hacks - but i wouldnt be able to cope with the patchyness of it.
but yeah, the pie thing is lmt. and the navbar thing is a mod you find on xda - you get to choose fixed sizes that you can flash. both is stone age compared to what you could do with integrated solutions.

I'm on stock rom, but rooted. I use HideBar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.hidebar . Works well on the phones with a navigation bar, but was originally written for tablets. The developer has recently received a Nexus 4, so we can expect some love for our phones.
Thanks for your replies, I guess I will have to install PA, I didn't want to install a custom ROM because flashing Gaaos with recovery after each PA update is very anoying (is it the same with CM ?), and also Stock version et the updates first !
How long it takes for PA and CM to add the stock updates to their ROMs please ?

It's strange because with my Motorola Defy, when I installed a new update of CM10, I never had to reinstall Gaaps, only the first time...
Reinstalling Gaaps after each updates of PA or CM is only because of the Nexus 4 ?
I think you get something wrong there. "Reinstalling" means literally one more tap in twrp or cwm. You dont have to set them up again, you just do that tap and its done. It has gapp backup, so not even that tap is needed, but not sure if its unlocked already.

Hi all,
a few days ago i received my Oppo Find 5. So I rooted it immediately and installed LBE Guard on it, so that I could manage permissions. Why I didn't go with the built-in one? It doesn't show as much permissions you can edit as LBE.
The problem is however, as soon as the service (LBE) starts, my Oppo reboots. This really sucks for I cannot use LBE now, so i can't manage what apps are allowed to do or not.
What is your recommendation? What's the best permission manager according to you? One thing I really want to be able to control is whether an app can auto-start or not. So, does anyone have a good suggestion?
Looking forward to your replies,
dbhuis
Do you use LBE from the playstore? If yes, that one isn't compatible with >=4.1 - at least that was the case. There are newer versions available in a thread on XDA, just search for it.
Still, I'd recommand using (open-)pdroid. You need to patch your ROM for this, but it's better in pretty much any regard.
Is (open)pdroid even possible for the stock rom (4.1.1 version)? Autopatcher only supports openpdroid for 4.1.2 and up.
I would LOVE (open)pdroid for the Oppo stock rom!

Don't know, so far I successfully patched PAC, while Carbon is currently failing for me.
I personally have trust issues with LBE, since it needs root and isn't opensourced, but if that's of no concern, one might as well use it.

There's a permission app for the Xposed framework, don't know how good that works, though, never tried so far.
PAC works wonderful with pdroid
@S.D.Richards I know of LBE, but don´t really trust it either (same reason as you)
I read somewhere that Oppo will be upgrading the Find 5 to 4.2, but I do not know when.
As for the Xposed framework, I haven't heard of it... Have to google it

the patcher for pdroid doesn't support custom ROMs, but if things aren't too different, it might be able to patch it properly

I found it too, some time ago, but pdroid patcher fails.. it does detect the stock Oppo rom as AOSP 4.1.1. Perhaps i have the wrong version of the patcher, I will keep looking.
Try Xprivacy.

Does anyone know if cataclysm mod will work on mhc19l? I tried but only make it to splash screen.
Seems like you've answered your own question. If you're only getting the splash screen, that means this most recent update is no longer compatible with catamod files. Catamod is only a handful of files, but any of those changed with this most recent update, which I believe many have, then it wont work.

Unfortunately, no.. I haven't upgraded to MHC19I yet because of this reason but probably will soon. IMO the closest thing is xposed + gravity box since it uses the stock rom as the base and adds mods on top of it which is similar to how Cata works. I haven't used xposed in a while but probably will give that set up a try soon for the bluetooth bug fixes, etc. in the latest build. But I sure wish @atl4ntis would come back to us.. sigh..
As far as I can tell there are no other custom stock based ROMs out there for the 6P other than ones that just "debloat" the stock ROM but add no features, which I'm not really interested in. I've been checking out the Pure Nexus thread and it seems like another good option-- AOSP based instead of stock but seems to be well maintained and there seems to be a lot of positive feedback on it so I might also give that a shot. In between both options right now...
N910c user here with the latest 5.1.1 Firmware from SamMobile (N910CXXS2CPK1_N910COLB2COJ5_N910CXXU1COJ5).
Is it good/bad to flash an older ROM? A Custom ROM that based on an older firmware?
The device is currently on stock and rooted.
Mods: Please do delete/move this thread if there is a similar thread or wrong thread section.
Thanks!
Anyone?
Your questions are not easy to answer. It's all personal preference.
Some like ROMS that are as close to stock as possible, some like ROMs that are slim as possible, and don't have all the stock apps and want to install something else. Like a different messenger or launcher or email app.
Some like to have the latest and greatest on the phones or a Custom ROM that is based on another firmware. The problem there is most don't understand that the firmware was never built for their model of phone, so it won't always work right.

SimplROM Lite is about as slim as you can get. SimplROM is pretty good. There's a lot more dependencies then there used to be.
Take is slow and keep doing backups. If something breaks you can go back and bypass what you removed and move on.

+1 for Pure Fusion, I get up to 10 and a half hours screen on time with better performance than I get on OOS, noticeable by eye.
Ultimately, you may find a better combination out there, but the baseline for me is Fusion, it just works as it should, stamina and power.

Super smooth, absolutely as fast as Oxygen OS. I always use "GApps" and here U should choose "ARM64" and "7.1". I recommend you to use either "Nano" or "Pico", but you could choose whatever you want!
1. Flash the ROM in TWRP
2. Flash GApps
3. Flash Magisk/Super SU (If U want to be rooted)
4. Flash "no_verity_op5.zip" (If your phone are dectrypted, otherwise skip this one)

Yea mate it's always the latest version of the Rom, I always clean flash too.
I've tried all the Rom's on XDA for the Oneplus, No limits for me is the best OOS Rom (personal choice) but overall and for the things I need from it, plus Displaylink technology works indefinitely on it, on OOS Rom's it cuts out after around 9 minutes which is a deal breaker for me.
10 hours SOT is superb.

Basicly:
Encrypted = Makes it more difficult for people who are not authorized to access information stored on the phone. You are thus safer when the phone are encrypted.
Decrypted = Opposite to Encrypted. The benefit with this one compared to Encrypted is a better performance.
You can check what U use by going to the settings menu, then head over to "Security & fingerprint", scroll down to the bottom and done.
PS: I am Decrypted!

This. Also, not trying to be rude and it's awesome that everyone is so willing to help, but I don't think spoonfeeding is the best option. OP has tons of questions (many that are simple and can easily be answered with self-research).
As the user I quoted mentioned, you should visit other threads that have instructions and information on flashing, encrypt vs. decrypt and so on!

i am NOT calling you stupid. i AM definitely calling you a newbie.
the questions you have been asking are very rudimentary when it comes to flashing ROMs. regardless of your previous experience, it is still best that you do a lot more reading. this obviously isn't what you want to hear, but it is as true as truth can be. if you don't know what encryption is, then you shouldn't be trying to work around it. you should be figuring out what encryption is in the first place.
