Used to love PA, but they gimped the ROMs after 4.4. The new 6.0 ROM is pretty much stock with like 4 features added in. PureNexus is best for me. Unlike it's name, it actually crams in more features than Gravity Box.

Xposed drains my battery (Android System in battery stats), both on stock and on custom roms.

I use ONE simple fucking module to hide the Stamina mode icon on stock and it's fucking draining my battery. I used the module to disable the fullscreen keyboard on CM and it's still doing that.

Just run rooted stock for fuck's sake. With some kernel from XDA if you want to - custom roms aren't worth it.

Custom stock-based ones possibly have botnet in them, and with AOSP-based ones you lose your camera and your sound quality...your battery as well, if you're not lucky.

Almost no features in comparison. Personally I stay the fuck away from Sultan since it seems like a really unprofessional ROM, but even compared to normal CM13, PA was a downgrade. Theme Engine crashed (you need to clear the cache after logging in the first time), OpenGapps doesn't work, few features.

The one thing that made me switch back to CM13 was the fact that you have very little choice in what the capacitive buttons do. I could not make long-press into "turn off screen". I use that all the time, so it is not something I'm going to bother with until they fix that.

Might switch to FusionJack's SlimSaber unless CM13 gets a new snapshot soon. I used his shit previously and it was the most stable ROM I had ever used. Many features as well. Once he changed to a OmniROM base I became skeptical, especially due to the lack of features. But now that it has gotten more features again, I might go back. At least if it is as stable as it was under 5.x.x.

When I looked at it back in April/May, there was issues up the ass. Random reboots, a lot of problem with RIL/Baseband, camera issues, no system-less root (at least back then), there was huge gaps between updates as well when shit wasn't working. So I'm staying away from it.

Andromax E2, it's locked to one operator so I flashed other ROM to unlock it.
I don't really know shit about unlocking, I just followed tutorial on the internet.

My brother bought it for unlimited 4G that's bundled with that phone.
Now that the unlimited 4G package is terminated permanently after 4 months, I want to switch to another carrier.

Turns out that phone doesn't support LTE frequency other than LTE TDD B40 (2300 Mhz), FDD B5 (824 - 850 Mhz) & B26 (850 Mhz).
Using a chip that doesn't support standard LTE band (900 Mhz / 1800 Mhz) so user can't "unlock" it and switch to another carrier.

Bravo, genius.

>>
>>55139583
>>55139639

Nah, I mean changing the launcher doesn't change the whole UI, it just changes your homescreen and app drawer.

The UI remains stock everywhere else - your notification drawer, your settings, your camera, and so on remain the same.


Also, second guy, did you really read the first guy's post? Just installing Nova doesn't get rid of the material design everywhere else.

I hate material design as well - the content density is low, there is too animation, and even the "dark" material isn't completely black, wasting more battery on AMOLED devices.

I was intending to do this myself since I used to have swipe up from home button to turn the screen off in previous versions. However, I can't seem to find it in settings. Am I blind or did they add it after the April snapshot?

Thinking about capitulating and going the nightly route since they don't seem to be releasing snapshots monthly like I thought they would.

One of the best custom roms was for my OPO which is a CM13 with franco?kernel by sultanxda. Great rom solid all around. My Moto X Pure the best one so far in my experience is the TruPureXMM based off stock but the pickings are slim on that device. Nexus 4 I liked the Odin or Valhalla? I forget what it was called but it was blazing fast and responsive. Zenfone 2 I'd have to say the rooted stock is plenty fine as it doesn't break or trade off much of anything. Add xposed/root and it's plenty fine once customized.
>>

>>55139923
Best phones for Rom's in my experience were the Nexus 4 Nexus 5(sold it still have the 4) and the OnePlus One. OPO has had the best roms and community in my experience. Moto X Pure as an example and my Nexus 6 (shamu 6" which I sold) have been a lackluster experience despite the devices being pretty great all around.

Now that we're on the topic of custom roms, I have recently been gifted an Amazon Fire 7" (5th generation). Fire OS 5.1.1 was absolute dogshit, unusable botnet dogshit, so I installed CM12.

Although it's miles better, I feel like it could be even better, I just followed the steps to install CM according to the XDA-Dev forums, since it seemed to be the recommended rom for the tablet, but does somebody else have any experience installing other roms in it?
