Hey /g/
i have a question for you
For Android users only
What's your actually or best rom ?
>>54788514
Stock
>>54788524
Okay stock like AOSP or stock like touchwiz or someshits ?
>>54788524
/thread
>>54788540
I bet you most of /g/ runs stock android on their phones which is ridiculous
>System created by g-botnet
>Manufacturers add their own botnet
>Carriers add their own botnet over existing layers of botnet + wallpaper with their logo
>/g/ swallows it all
Have some decency and use cyanogen
>>54788514
>tfw CM isn't supported in my model
>>54788514
Cm13 on a note 2 used aroma installer and very few gapps
>>54788514
Resurrection Remix
CM13 + Opengapps pico
>>54788663
What phone?
>>54788514
crDroid, if you want a stable no-bullshit ROM(based on CM but has more features). Exodus seems smoother but has less features and some bullshit like "antipiracy" and "device manager" app. AICP, DU, RR are crDroid-level smooth, have even more features but there's always some bullshit here and there(AICP has antipiracy, in DU you can't disable led flashing on low battery, stuff like that). I'll try blisspop again next week, the last time I tried it it was in the league with those 3. Other ROMs I tried:
>CM
Too barebones, can't even resize the navbar. Babies stick to it for some reason.
>vanir, aokp
Literally dead.
>orion os, temasek, turbo rom
Unstable as fuck.
>every OEM ROM in existence even if it's literally AOSP
Fucking slideshow, literal gigabytes of bloat and lack of ESSENTIAL features like switching tracks with long press of volume buttons, even 2005's SE phones could do that.
>>54788864
Soo you dont like AICP Rom ?
>>54788949
Not much. Not an absolute garbage, but not a daily driver for me. I also forgot about Mokee, I'll try it along with Bliss.
>>54788646
copperhead or nothing, every non nexus phone is trash by default
>>54788864
What's wrong with RR?
>>54788966
I use AICP since a couple of months and I like it but since 1 or 2 months the rom is veeery laggy ...
>>54788974
>falling for the nexus meme
>>54788986
I don't remember exactly, it was missing some feature I needed or crashed when I edited settings tiles. Not garbage as well, just not for me.
cm13 nightly
>>54788681
Galaxy a5 a500M
They are not supported for the M variant and I don't know how to port
>>54789011
>>54788986
RR is good but is a cancer for the themes
Cataclysm with ElementalX kernal
OnePlus One with a Unofficial version of Sultan's Cyanogenmod 13
>>54788514

>>54788864
I can showcase my setup if you want. What 3 years old hardware with a lightweight setup is capable of.
>>54789003
>falling for planned obsolescence
>buying a phone with no updates
>>54788864
>CM
>Too barebones, can't even resize the navbar. Babies stick to it for some reason.
It is babby behaviour to not want the extra clutter shit?
works great for me, the more minimal it is, the better. also, only ROM still being updated for my phone, last i checked.
>>54789222
Cm is great for stability and support, but otherwise it is as you say lacking in features. You can always try a custom launcher like nova, using a build prop editor, or using the paranoid android rom
>>54789222
Lack of essential features is not "minimal"(especially those that are essentially free on resources), it's just shit. There are lighter ROMs than CM with more features.
>>54789252
yeah don't personally need any of that shit besides changing the lcd density and then I just install nova launcher. pretty boring but it werks.
>>54789266
still missing what essential features you are crying about, but i don't give a fuck. install whatever the fuck.
Cyanogen Mod 13 or just plain AOSP are the best. Even so AOKP is quite nice but there is no version for my Device and I'm way too lazy to compile it on my own.
Soo i use cm or AICP ? I have a Moto G 2013 Falcon
>>54789320
Out of those two, AICP.
>not using the answer of ex-cm devs to cm going corporate
>>54789003
Falling for the "Google's Nexus" meme. I don't want them controlling my phone completely, but they just happen to be, of the OEMs with unlocked bootloaders, the one with the most, and longest lasting third-party support.
>>54789360
>dead since kitkat
>>54789374
gerrit seems pretty alive fäm
>>54789387
Hmm, now that I checked like 7 devices got MM support. What features does it provide over CM?
>>54789433
i haven't used cm since 9, so i can't say for sure but
>header images (& themable)
>header integrated weather
>network usage in statusbar
>that dark "theme" that was on M dev preview, enhanced
maybe more
but omni is less of the mass of features, more about "good features" + big emphasis on stability
>>54789483
>want to try CM13 on my HTC One m8
>still no stable CM13 release
why
>>54789539
same here m80
CM is my only choice since it's the only custom ROM that (still, incredibly) supports my crappy old phone
>>54789521
Have you tried long-pressing the settings button or do you genuinely like that tile setup?
>>54789539
is there such as thing as stable?
3 different devices with it, only ever saw nightly.
>>54789576
that's the stock tile setup, which is enough for the few occadions i want to
*) de/activate wifi or mobile data
*) de/activate flashlight
>>54789600
snapshots
>>54789611
>snapshots are to nightlies as manjaro is to arch
Cm12.1
Cm 13 is a fucjig mess and brings no inprovements. Constant random reboots that uninstalls apps too
>>54789539
CM stable is a meme, it has the same phone-specific bugs as nightlies.
>>54789607
You could hide brightness slider(useless when you have brightness regulation via statusbar sliding), disable first row enlargement, add/remove other tiles.
>>54789686
tbqh idgaf, i just eanted to showcase the header images and the integrated weather service
>>54789686
>CM stable is a meme, it has the same phone-specific bugs as nightlies.
well shit
time to stay with htc sense forever then
>>54789707
Yeah, weather is a must have.
Pure Nexus
If your phone doesn't support it, you bought a shit phone.
My favourite is CM
>>54788668
>>54788514
Using RR on my s5
>>54789806
yup.
>>54788646
also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software. CM surprises many uses by giving that feature back.
Sadly, my moto x 1st gen at&t (XT1058) cannot be unlocked so I can't put a different rom on there. I shouldn't have updated to 5.1 lolipop because my research says there's ways to unlock if the version is 4.4. Sucks.
>>54790122
I feel you bro
AOSP Sucks
They're all buggy shit.
had Cyanogenmod for a LONG time now, loving some of the added features, but also having dealt with random crashes somewhat frequently (1-2 times a day)
recently switched to Omnirom for a while (my phone wasn't supported in cm yet) and liked the stability and performance, but loathed the missing features and not-configurable home-button-long press.
Got into linux, set up an Omnirom build-environment and fucking fixed all that stuff. Best rom I ever had
>>54788514
Loved PA when it was still a thing.
Now using stock Moto with GravityBox
>>54790271
>implying that some stock OSes aren't buggy shit
>implying that some custom roms aren't the most stable and bug free OSes you can get
>>54790341
Nexus 4, Note 2, Note 3. CM was buggy on all of them. Fuck, on the Note 3 I couldn't even play youtube videos with custom ROMs.
>>54790359
well you don't fucking use samsung for Cyanogenmod. It's not cyanogenmod's fault if samsung locks down their hardware access
The nexus 4? No Idea why it was bad, usually CM rocks on nexuses
Unrooted stock, the path of least snafu.
>encryption works
>camera works
>OTA updates work
Google has steadily been making stuff break if you're using root, and manufacturers have steadily been making hardware not work unless you're using their framework and drivers.
How do I get just AOSP?
>>54789997
That's a nice home screen how come you haven't posted on one of the /hsg/ threads?
Explaing a phone retard
I am going to buy a new android phone (S7 edge) since i fell for the meme. How do i pick a ROM and what are the consequences?
>>54790553
Because it's a disgusting home screen and he would be laughed out of /hsg/.
>>54790571
Don't buy samsung and use a custom rom. Samsung is a dick about it and your camera might not work or whatever the fuck they figured out they can fuck you over with this time.
Especially on an edge device, why would you get a device with a unique feature only to destroy that feature with a custom rom? Get a Motorola or Nexus or maybe LG or some shit like that if you want custom roms
>>54790571
Choose something that is official, has a lot of support behind it, and seems stable
Cons:
Possible unwanted bugs
Ex: camera not working, phone audio low, battery life get messed up if you don't recalibrate
Warranty broken
Higher repair cost (my personal experience)
Possible soft brick if you're new and don't know your exact device model
Lose some abilities that made the phone unique in the stock rom
Having to use up storage for back ups
MIUI is pretty nice, but it's a RAM hog. Doesn't matter on my 3GB RAM though
>inb4 chinese backdoors
>also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software.
And then there is Samsung (S4) who disable it in hardware. Grounding the antenna or what ever.
>>54790553
Thanks anon but >>54790650 is the reason i don't.
Soo more user use Cm
Humm I feel bad im the only guy use AICP on my phone :^)
>>54790952
>AICP
and now you're on the FBI watchlist

PAC-Man Rom. It has literally every feature.
>>54790571
You pick a rom by going to forum.xda-developers.com, finding your phone's forum, and reading. A lot.
The first fucking thing you should do though is download a copy of the stock rom so you don't fuck up your phone forever.
>>54790982
Why ? What's the problem with this rom ?

This.
>>54790122
>>also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software. CM surprises many uses by giving that feature back.
This is bullshit though. The manufacturers disable it hardware-side.
Even on phones with stock FM radio support, once you install CM it's gone. You actually need to install a paid app to get that support back.
>>54788974
Agreed
PAC
>>54790122
>carriers lock it down in software
no they lock it down in firmware because it triggers the FCC that users can have software defined radios.
>>54794053
Install Spirit FM Radio and be amazed.

Fucking this. I tried CM for a few months, and all I had were massive hassles with Wifi connections, Bluetooth fucking up constantly, and inbuilt sensors just not working correctly.
So I recently said fuck it, and put N on there. Works a fucking charm without any issues.
>>54788514
CM13 nightlies on my 2014 Moto G 4G (XT1039). I haven't bothered with trying other ROMs, since CM nightlies work perfectly as a daily driver. Add Xposed/microg/Aptoide+Fdroid and it's bretty gud.
>>54790941
Not either of them, but seriously, that's a pretty cool home screen.
using "monster rom' developed by some indian based on cyanogenmod (android 4.2) on my galaxy wonder. at least i can browse/use whatsapp/shitpost with clover, stock was so bad that i have to spend 10 minutes to call someone
>>54798556
>developed by some indian
DESIGNATED
SHITTING
ROMS
Just installed Resurrection Remix on my spare Nexus 5.
Pretty good but nothing that GravityBox can't do for CM.
>>54799022
>Pretty good but nothing that GravityBox can't do for CM
Most features are indeed in GravityBox but most arent
>>54798556
>android 4.x
>not android Nigger
>MIUI master race
honestly one of the best ROMs ever made, it's like "custom stock" experience. I had it on my s3 mini, now I have it on my Mi4c. Simply great!
I don't think you need a room if you just get a nexus .... I used to install Roms all the time but stock on nexus is the best .... !!!!!

Wasn't Tele2 a shit company absorbed by a Spanish one, which was then absorbed by Vodafone?
>>54791948
Boy you are cucked. I've never had a feature hardware diabled or carrier disabled. But hey, whatever works for you guys..
>>54794053
You're mixing up FM radio for listening to radio broadcasts, and the GSM/whatever you crazy americans have as an alternative radio. The former shouldn't be locked (unless your carrier/manufacturer hates you), the latter is always locked.
>>54799519
>>54799540
Uh huh. Show me a Nexus device that can you can listen to FM radio on, whether with stock rom or not.
>>54788514
Stock. There's no reason to use custom roms nowadays.All you need is xposed for customization and root which you can use to clean bloat and firewall botnet apps.
>>54797894
>uses a nightly
>hurr it's unstable
>>54789668
I can say the fuckinh sa!e for cm12
I'm still am cm11 note 2 even though cm13 official nightlies came out
>>54797680
No, that's OmniROM
I have to use a rom that is tmobile friendly or else I don't get signal when I'm 200ft underground. So I'm sticking with stock marshmallow touchwiz on my galaxy s5 until cyanogen becomes tmobile friendly and not just international like the g900f
>>54799573
Nexus One :v)
Very happy with my cm 13.
I uninstalled touchwiz just because it was using so much battery. Phone is galaxy a5 (2015)
Installed Resurrection Remix yesterday
Its great but I'm disjointed at the navbar music visualizer
Paranoid Android until defunct
now CM
>>54800590
4.1 PA was the best ROM ever
>>54788514
AOSP
It just runs smoother and faster than Cyanogen or its derivatives.
Here almost all phones come with FM radio.
I think.
>>54788514
cm12.1
>>54801601
The cheapo phones come with FM radio. All Motos, chinkphones etc. Also, all Sony phones I think. For Samsung only until S3 and mid and low range phones, their newer flagships have it disabled. Anything Nexus you're fucked.
