[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Only you can answer them.

Start with a simple rom, with few modifications so you don't get overwhelmed.

____________________________

I was reading for a week before I rooted and flashed a rom on my n1, can guarantee you many if not most in here started like that.

You want to have it all answered in a thread & spooned to you?

I'm sorry to say but you're starting wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Believe me, I'm not asking for anything to be spooned to me. I mean, if I could at least get some help in figuring out which ROM I'd like to flash, that would be appreciated. I could certainly do the leg work if I could just get help deciding on which ROM. I stated in my OP the type of things I'd like to have in a custom ROM. Didn't what I posted put one or two in your head? If so, may I ask which ones? Even with your opening sentence of this reply, you said to start with a simple rom. Any examples?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
They are more stable than you think, i wouldnt call some of the better ones unstable or nightlies. i've been running aokp for a few months now and it's very stable no major bugs over stock rom for me.

wvcadle - It's hard to say what the best roms are since that's mostly personal taste but some of the more popular roms are ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, Xylon and slimbean. There is a questions section that has lots of threads comparing roms.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastgoat:
I have tried PA and CM10.1, both of which I liked but some minor issues have me back to stock and waiting for stable releases. I think personally I would go CM10.1 once stable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Test several ROMs, then decide which one better fits your expectations. Nobody can tell which is the best.

I have tested 3 or 4, then I went back to stock and just added some tweeks to it. But hey, that's me!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
I think I'm going to try Modaco's ROM first. Do you know what Kernel it uses? Is it the stock kernel? I'd like to flash Franco's kernel, as I hear it has improved battery life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishman103:
I wouldn't jump into kernel flashing so fast. I'd try a couple of ROMs first.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Well, I just flashed my first Custom ROM. I'm pretty stoked! Even though it's one of the simpler ROMs, it's still pretty cool. Hopefully I don't get hooked!

So, is flashing a custom kernel more dangerous than ROMs? I heard Franco has an app he created to flash his kernels.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishman103:
I wouldn't say its dangerous. There's just more things to tweak and mess with. Voltages, gamma, CPU speed, etc. I'd just get comfortable with flashing ROMs and finding what you want first. And yes, flashing is an addiction. You will now flash hundreds of times only to find you want to flash a hundred more. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Will the other ROMs not work right out of the box, or would I need to tweak all of those settings to get them to work?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishman103:
All the ROMs will work out the box. Developers will not turn over incomplete ROMs to the end users. Like now I'm using Paranoid Android...works beautifully, but there are tons of settings built in to mess with. Other ROMs don't have some of its features and vise versa. With kernels, I use the stock kernel with it. I've flashed other kernels but in MY opinion, I like the stock one. So read up on some ROMs, back up and flash some to see what you will like
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMaDHakkeR:
TBH it will take you some time to learn everything. All the questions you need answered will come in time with you learning Android. Its best to learn by LOTS of reading but you also need some trial and error. You will learn what Roms work best for you and which dont. You will see that you dont always need a custom kernel, and perhaps your screen only needs to 2 more clicks of saturation to have 2.2 gamma while others need to tweak across the board. Once again you gain that knowledge over time. You will get in trouble from time to time, not have help and possibly brick badly, but you learn to fix and work it out, and THAT is really where you learn lots. When you hit a roadblock READ and you will have your answer and in the process gain the knowledge you need.

Good luck and enjoy the hobby!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
You've been a great help. Really. And I appreciate it. I just realized there was a 'Thanks' button on this forum, so you've got my first one.

One last question, and I'll leave you be... promise (I think!): The three things I'm most concerned with in a ROM deal with power consumption, speed, and, yes, beauty. I can safely say I will never try to overclock my phone, or change any really deep settings. Do those three items bring any specific ROM or two to mind that you can point me in the direction towards?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishman103:
No problem. Glad I could help.

And your last question is the ultimate question...lol. It's all about how you use your phone. One ROM might be more efficient for you than it would be for me. You might watch a lot of videos and don't have good reception. That could drain your battery. I'd go with ROMs that have a good thread. Read and read about the ROM before you flash it. Read the first pages and the last. I personally like Paranoid Android and AOKP ROMs. Look in the original development section and read up on Liquid Smooth, AOKP, and Paranoid Android. They are really great out the box and no overclocking or "deep settings" needed. If you have any questions about the two I like I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Just PM or email me.

Ok, MoDaCo on my N4 and PA 3.0 on my N7!

What is your killer feature in HTC One? I think all the three feature makes me wanna buy one now.

I don't think any competitors have this very important feature.
[One (M7) General] Threevo:
What largely appeals to me is the boom sound. I can't wait till I have this phone in my hands.
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
Front Stereo speakers and sound quality overall.
[One (M7) General] TheMask007:
Finally 2 Speakers started coming out. Hope samsung follows or else I will buy HTC One. Its important for me.
[One (M7) General] Al Gore:
I'm choosing between One and XZ and for me One's killer feature is a screen and a processor.

I don't need two stereo speakers for the "old phone" ringtone or mail notification beeps.
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
The screen!

I think it's the highest ppi screen you will ever see in the market,the sgs4 can be 2% faster than the One (as usual) but they will never beat the 4.7'' 1080p SLCD3 with their 5'' 1080p,it's pure mathematics

I suspect he meant "HTC". Maybe all the THC is affecting his and your typing accuracy. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

As for the question posed in this thread: in so far as there *is* a killer feature, I guess it's the colour accuracy of the screen; but the S600 chipset and stereo, forward-facing speakers help too.
[One (M7) General] ethan3686:
ANother thing is i tend to use my phones as music players too..so i dont mind the slightly smaller screen..lol if 4.7 is small :P
[One (M7) General] Al Gore:
As for the speakers I don't know...

I play 99% of my games muted

I won't watch videos on it because of the battery

Listening to music through such speakers is masochism

It errors "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card".

This is only for some apps. Some apps do install.

How to fix?

can we fix it? how?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
I don't think so..we can if we study Linux and kernels first. sakindia was the dev of that project and that was his First project, when he came here. But he tried to fix it, but wasn't able to He even had a build 4 with the same bug. (not updated in op) and so,he never fixed it.

However after some time...when cm7/9 development started kicking in, derefas/lirokoa fixed it,if I remember right.

It should still be in cm7/9 threads within first 15 pages I assume. However it was built for cm.if you have to make it work on sense, you should change ramdisk as that of sense. Simple for some members here. (but I don't have the instruments to do it. )

So, there you go. :D

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Barkat.Paki:
If it has something to do with RAMdisk, can't we simply unpack cranium 3 and 2 and replace RAMdisk from 2?

Will it make the resultant UNusable?

At least cranium have no such problem.

Hit "THANKS". It encourages me.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
The working kernel 3 is in cm9/7 thread .

You should unpack it and put the cranium 2 ramdisk in it to make it work theoretically. The problem you're facing is not in the ramdisk,but in the kernel part itself,which was fixed and put in the cm thread. So, cranium 3 fixed will work for cm (so it'll work because of cm ram disk. )).

If the fixed kernel should be put in sense, then you should simply change cm ram disk to sense ramdisk.

Obviously as said before, I can't do it due to lack of instruments .

Hope you'd understand.

You can if you make a flashable zip. Installing via bootstrapper deletes everything iirc.

After further study-

Its not BASED on cm10.1

It uses the drivers and HAL from cm.... Which SHOULD make it somewhat easier to port than i thought.

BUT- this IS a whole new beast. Even if it sucks... We got source and its only a matter of time for other Linux distros. I, personally would love some crunchbang on one of my devices :D

Still curious which device i own will get ubu touch first:

1. My skyrocket with its awesome dev community and PITA hardware?

2. Or my kindle fire 2, with a MUCH MUCH smaller community and a couple of overworked devs. BUT, the device requires very few drivers since its just a touchscreen, power button, speakers, cpu and 3 axis accelerometer. Which is why i got it (on purpose, unlike most on the forum over there). The first generation kindle fire has debian running natively! Up until ubuntu touch calling was impossible on linux for arm devices. That wasn't an issue with the KF...

but damn, im excited... Even if the dev version blows chunks. :D

This concept has been exciting to me ever since I caught wind of this project. The only thing that I can't find is a dock that has some sort of video out and usb ports for a mouse/keyboard. The closest thing I've found is the Note 2 Smart Dock (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA) but it's so over priced. Hoping to find an off brand that isn't $100. :rolleyes: Edit: I'm also not entirely sure that the smart dock is compatible with our Skyrocket.

So far google searching has come up with this one result (http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=71831) but with this device you would need a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

I'll keep searching and post back my findings but any additional help would, obviously, be appreciated.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmmm....

FYI : all stock rom is full with bloatware....you need to remove/uninstalled those bloatware if you want a light weight roms that has plenty of memory space in system and internal memory...

to remove those apps you need root explorer (for deleting only) or search in google store for apps called System Cleanup that can remove/backup (full or just the app) unwanted apps in your system files....both app need root so make sure you have rooted your phone....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
Even a bloated stock rom still has some free space. It cannot be absolutely full. I suggest that you backup your apps with titanium backup, contacts by exporting to sd card and flash a clean stock .587 ftf.:)
