I see how you feel abouyt this. I have had issues as well. It really stems from what Roms are and what we expect from them. The term Night lies have lost a little bit of its worry recently because they are fairly bug free. But that doesn't mean that little tweaks and mods aren't killing battery life and deteriorate over time due to bad patches and coding.

That said I would highly recommend checking out BuglessBeast. They are not night lies by any means. They are highly stable AOSP Roms that perform much better then anything else on the market. He has few commits aside from under the hood tweaks. Reboot menu, emoji and a slight few other things are it. I have never had an issue with them and recommend checking them out. Also they are pretty much the only VZW app compatible ROM. Peter has been building BuglessBeast since Eclair on the Droid1 (almost 3 years now). Always providing an excellent experience.

Stock + root is the way to go for me on Nexus phones. On my last non Nexus (SGS3) I was always flashing new roms trying to look for something that just works, but I am tired of it. On my Nexus S and GNexus, stock rom is amazing, I don't need anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
I'm with this guy as well... I upgraded to a stock 4.2 rom (with root, but not a custom build).. and I have been smooth sailing since. It seems with all these custom roms and kernels there are nothing but issues. Sure, they're a TAD faster or offer little tweaks but when you need to use your device in the real world and it f*cking reboots while navigating somewhere because of a stupid tweak you made.. well, I can't see why it's even needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tincbtrar:
This phone runs very well with Stock+Root. I normally root devices because of different apps I like to use, and the ability to make custom backups...but I dont normally try anything bleeding edge...lol.

Partly because of my experience on an HTC phone...hated Sense and bought the GNex because of the AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
No need to bash the custom roms that some devs here work so hard to make, i agree that stock is amazing but android would be a boring scene without the custom roms out there

We would just be like Ios, Wp and blackberry users, stuck with what we've got

Others wouldnt even have the chance to use a newer OS version because their phone has been abandoned by official support.

Or many of u guys would have crappy colors or other issues that custom roms and kernels DID fix

I use stock but i love the fact that there are custom roms around
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
No I get that, it's good to see support for older devices but c'mon have you counted the amount of 4.1.2 roms that are available for the gnex? If I build android I'm automatically called a developer? Because that's the way it seems here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I don't know why people keep bringing up the so crappy colors. In reality, the crappy colors are the ones custom ROM offer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
its the kernels that offer the colors(the kernels that the ROM developers include too). of all the kernels available, only a very few distinguish themselves from the stock crappy colors.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Xblur:
i got my new acro s about a month ago, its cool, but it can be improved.

so there are a number of things i want to ask:

1.a good launcher, the xperia home is great but it doesnt have folder option on app menu, and it take a lot of ram, so i want an expert opinion, do i change it or any other idea to make it better?

2.i rooted my phone about a week after i bought it, and its better for me, but can i still update from update center or i will get bricked?

2.do i need to install another rom or just stack?, i read that its risky.

3.when playing it gets hot and laggy too, so is there a way to prevent that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
To quote another thread on here:

We have a Q&A section, use it.

But to answer your questions (I really shouldn't because I'd promote bad behaviour):

1) If you want more options, you can use the launcher with preferences (it's on the themes and apps section), but I honestly don't think the launcher takes that much space. You have 1GB you know. I always liked Apex Launcher on phones with lesser specs so you could try that.

2) You can still update, but you'll have to root it again afterwards.

3) I think other roms can be very good, don't which roms are available on Acro S. I liked XTXperience on XS, but right now i'm on PA2.54. It's not risky, you can't brick your phone. Unless you don't know what you're doing and you can't get yourself out of whatever rom your using. Flashtool is VERY handy in that case.

4) My XS gets hot as well. Um, you could lower the maximum clockspeed of your phone but that would also decrease the performance. When your phone gets used a lot it just gets hot (there's no fan to release the heat in that tiny frame, is there).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Xblur:
Spoiler content hidden.

tnx to the moderators they moved this threat, sorry for that.

so about ur answers

ur right about the launcher, it doesnt use that much ram, and the only problem is that there is no folder option on app menu and i can get on with that, but the real problem is that there is only 300MB to use of that 1GB ram, only 670MB available and 400 is used by system.

the update, so if i do update from update center there should be no problem and i can unlock it like 1st time, right?

roms can be good if they are stable, but there is no stable rom for acro s, all have problem like, camera, LED light, hotspot, ......

and for the heating problem i could use water u know :laugh:

and why is the spoiler not working?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplayer180:
So I just recently had My Nexus S 4G flashed from to sprint over to Frawg Prepaid. The Rep said not to flash or do any updates as it may alter the settings they did to my phone and I will have to have them flash it again, Is it true or is there is a way I can update a new rom and disable updates the rom may doe the network settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeyDzomg:
A long time ago I rooted my phone via odin and then flashed a shostock ics rom to my sgh i777, after searching around on this forum I found out not to go on the website that I learned how to originally root/flash my phone, anyway here is my phones current information

android - 4.0.3

Kernel- 3.0.35-v3.4.2-nomswap+ktoonsez@ktoonsez-VirtualBox

Now im planning on switching over to the Siyah 4.3.3 kernel with micswap, and the AOKP Jellybean Build 11.9.2012 rom. Now from what I've gathered I simply both the kernel zip and rom zip over onto my phone. Using cwm I flash the kernel because odin only recognizes .tars iirc and then have it boot back into cwm and then flash the rom? Obvioulsy before i go through with it, i'll make the nandroid, and then do

1. Wipe cache

2. Wipe dalvik

3. If you are already on a previous version of Siyah, "Reset ExTweaks profiles" (its under "Kernel specific options")

4. Flash the kernel

Once i flash the kernel I should be able to flash over to the JB rom correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
1) Copy ROM, Kernel and JellyBean GApps to your device in a place that's easy to find (I use root of internal SD)

2) Reboot into recovery

3) Make a nandroid backup

4) wipe data/factory reset

5) wipe cache

6) wipe dalvik cache

7) reset extweaks profiles

8) install ROM zip from internal

9) install JB GApps

10) install Siyah 4.3.3 micswap if you want - but you won't get support in the AOKP thread if you do this.

11) reboot device

If you flash a kernel before a ROM, the kernel included in the ROM will overwrite the one you just flashed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeyDzomg:
I was under the impression I need the micswap in order to use the rom I want? You mentioned I can use it if I want but I just wont get support in the thread so I tried researching the whole micswap thing, well Im still a little confused because some say you need it for the i9100 phones. Well mine is an sgh i777.. but after I originally flashed it with odin whenever I booted it, it comes up with the i9100 logo, so Im a little confused now because in the siyah thread it says I need the micswap to run the rom I want (AOKP Jellybean 11.9.2012).

I downloaded the v4.3.3 - CM10/AOKP MALI - CWM Flashable kernel with the micswap. Either way cant I just put the other 2 v4.3.3 ICS Micswap and no miccswap kernels onto my internal SD and then flash them if I have to?

edit - heres another problem I just ran into I just found a siyah v5 in this thread It has both micswap and no micswap versions, It mentions to use the micswap for anything AOKP based, since the JB rom Im using is AOKP based I would need the micswap version, but now im assuming the siyah v5 kernel is better then the v4.3.3 right? But i cant seem to find like a release thread of the v5

The Thread im referencing

I noticed you have the same att phone as i do and you're running the 4.3.3 kernel are you using the micswap version or the without micswap?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Reading is your friend here - spend LOTS of time doing this BEFORE flashing to know what you are getting into. But the short answer to your questions above:

There are mic-swap and non-mic-swap versions of most of the kernels for the i777. if you are using a rom based on an i777 samsung release, you need NON-mic swap. If you are using a ROM based on i9100 Samsung release, or AOKP, or CM, or AOSP, or pretty much anything else, you need mic-swap. Any ROM you install will include a kernel with the appropriate swap settings. You are best off running whatever kernel comes with the ROM you flash at least at first, and then try something else if you want additional functionality or want to see if you can improve performance. If you flash some other kernel over a ROM, the ROM dev will likely not provide any support becuase you are messing with what they release - this sometimes results in bugs/erratic behavior. It's up to you at this point to research/read/try stuff to sort out your problems.

The latest siyah ported and modded by Ktoonsez is 4.3.3. Ktoonsez adds some stuff to 'stock' siyah, so many people use that. 5.0.1 Siyah was ported by AJ, with, as far as I know, only minimal changes. it is more of a 'stock' siyah, but a newer version. You need to research the two yourself to decide which is better for you based on their features. you do this by reading at LEAST the first 10 posts and last 200 posts (yes, last 20 pages) to get an idea of the history and ongoing issues for each. You should be doing that for any ROM you are thinking of flashing too. If you're not willing to spend at least that much time to benefit yourself, it's not fair to expect anyone here to spend their time helping you.

If you have an i9100 logo at boot, it means you flashed non-stock via odin and triggered the counter. This won't hurt you at all unless you need to return the device for warranty issues, or if it annoys you. There are plenty of threads around here with the means to get rid of it - search is your friend here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeyDzomg:
Thanks for the quick response and yeah im not too worried about about the counter. I appreciate you clearing up that each rom has its own kernel for some reason I thought you need to match a kernel/rom. For now i'll just try the aokp rom and then maybe switch over to the siyah 4.3.3 after doing more research. I just went through with flashing just the rom and gapps now time to spend an hour in the bathroom figuring everything out. Anyway thanks for the help i'll definitely do more research into android. Computers were my hobby for the longest period of time untill I got into cars, trying to pick up phones now even though im pretty late to the party.

How are you liking the Ktoonsez Siyah 4.3.3?

I just upgraded to the latest stable CM10 rom, including properly flashing boot.img, on my AT&T One X with the latest Hboot. Things have been working fine for the last couple days. Yesterday LTE went live for my city so I didn't have data until I set my Access Point Name to AT&T LTE. Things were great until this afternoon. I've noticed a "Restricted Access Change" notification intermittently, and for a little bit I can't use voice. It comes back on its own.

Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldoro:
I think the internal SD card of my i9000 is corrupted. I've tried everyting: wiped/factory reset, reinstalling Cyanogenmod10, installing Stock ROM, installing stockrom with re-partitioning on etc. Nothing works. I'm using odin to reinstall the stock ROM. Flashing the stock ROM to my phone goes well, but then when I restart and android is installing, I get error messages like:

/can't mount sd card

After reading a lot on XDA, my conclusion is: broken internal storage.

Now I want to install everything on my external SD. So I bought a 8GB cat10 SD card.

Found this XDA-post: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1893354 Seems very promising, but I seem to get stuck on '-- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )'. I;ve got a virtual machine running Ubuntu. When I start the script, nothing happens..... the terminal just closes.

The easiest solution for my problem would be a ROM that is altered to directly install on my external SD. I red somewhere that ROMS like that exist. Can't seem to find one though.

Well.. thanks for reading my post, and accept my appologies for my bad english. You can probably notice I'm not a native speaker.

Does someone have a solution for me? Maybe know of a good thread?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kiwiiwik28:
Hi there,

have tried to search for this problem, seems I am alone.

Ok, so I have flashed about 10 roms with no problems. I always use the method described on root galaxy note dot com. Abyss, full wipe, etc.....

No problems until I tried to flash Rocket Rom v3, TMT4 and most recently the n7000XXLS7 rom.

What happens every time is that after flashing abyss, full wipe, dalvik wipe, batt stats, then flashing the rom, the progress bar gets to about 25 - 40 percent and then..... NOTHING. for a very long time, so eventually I hit a hard key - any hard key - and then I'm back to the CWM recovery.

It's only since the leaks came out that allowed Roms to have S note, Note 2 multitasking, etc. (not sure if this has anything to do with it but trying to provide as much info as possible). The only other thing note-worthy (no pun intended) is that the last rom that I succesfully flashed - and the rom I go back to each time a flash fails, is Slim Beam Rom. This rom is giving me no problems. Before that I have tried CNA Black Apps, Cyagen mod 9, paranoid android JB, er,.,,,, there were a lot of other roms - I can't remember them all, but no problems until recently.

I still have root access, and I have no idea why this is happening? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks everyone in advance and I am truly sorry If someone has already covered this, I promise you I have searched for it.

3.make 3 wipe

4.go to data storage, format preload and system

5.flash JB rom ( ultimate, tmt, rrv3, etc. )

For future referance, if it's stock through Kies, use recovery mode in Kies, or you press Vol- Home and power to switch it on, and it should take you to download (Odin) mode, then just flash the rom through the Odin software.

Download the file via Checkfus downloader.

Extract the .zip once (If you download a .tar or .tar.md5 file this step is not required)

Boot into Download mode.

End any Kies process via task manager.

Open Odin.

Connect your phone via USB.

Click the PDA button and add the .tar file.

Make sure re-partition is NOT!!!! clicked.
