If you're going to reference dystopia, at least don't forget Bradbury and Rand :)

I never said, nor did anyone, that we don't care, or that this is a toy. In most cases, custom ROMs are sought after to provide more and/or "OEM" features (Active Notifications, Multi-Window, etc...) while retaining the Google feel, without the OEM bloat.

To be honest, I have stopped caring about mobile privacy. It's all well and good that we now have Privacy Guard, SELinux, and Permissions Management, but that doesn't keep everyone out. I live in the US, and twelve years ago, the Patriot Act was passed, effectively making it legal for the government to spy on whomever they please. This was made incredibly obvious by the most recent rash of PRISM leaks, and it became clear that we are under surveillance, at all times, whether we like it or not. Having a Google account, or a credit card, or a cell phone, or even an unsecured Wi-Fi network, has no bearing.

The point is, if you want the convenience of being able to see things like this compilation, at the tip of your fingers, or anywhere else, get a Google account.

Done. We shouldn't have to revisit this.

This is FAN-frikkin-TASTIC!! :) Thanks for the effort, you guys!!

I would ask though if (whenever you can) you could also add a section of "Performance" or "Statistics" about each on standard conditions on a same device (mako maybe).. where purely the focus or answers are on:

- Screen On Time

- Battery Performance (overall)

- etc.?

Thanks again!

GlowPad Torch CAME from AOKP...so obviously it has it.

It is NOT a Carbon-made feature. They just shamelessly cherry-picked it and released a build with it before AOKP did.

I thought that my rom would be Dirty Unicorns but it's not available for GT-i9100 so I wonder which one would be perfect for me between PacMan and Carbon, official or unofficial linaro-sabermod version. Slimrom seems to be stable but some features like halo are missing so I need help to choose the most complete, stable and battety friendly rom. Is there anybody who tried all of them and could help me?
[General Topics] jrudyk:
I've definitely tried all of them, and here are my experiences: If you LOVE features, and don't mind a rom being a bit bloated and battery hungry because of it, go for PAC. If you would rather have a very smooth, battery friendly experience, with all the features you need, go Carbon, which has been my daily driver for a very long time. Slimrom will give you the best battery life out of the three, but does lack some of those "useful but I never realised it" features. Also, if you want even BETTER battery life, make sure to flash a custom kernel like NEO as well, as this will help a lot.

Press "thanks" if I helped you!

I agree with [MENTION=5476517]jrudyk[/MENTION] above.. Tried all.. though I have a Nexus 4 and that opens up the possibilities more, but sure.. PAC Man is the answer to fully loaded feature packed option! :) To keep a sane battery life, and lag free experience, SlimRom also kicks ass! :) and they have regular updates and much more stable builds than any other I have experienced.. :)

Beanstalk update

I noticed that Suspense Actions and Wakelock blocker is already available in 4.4.001, and 4.4.015 is already present in new phones.

Awesome database, which made my comparison to decide a custom ROM to keep my eye on handy.

Thumbs up for all maintainers of the database!

I'm really curious about the seemingly-complete Dirty Unicorns. Does it become, in some sense, conqueror?

Btw,

This is my first post, I'm a new user.. Hadn't the courage to edit.

I just tried Beanstalk 4.4.001 (waiting anxiously for 4.4.015 on my Xperia Acro S).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Inc-Roid:
Completely unistalled or just dragged to the trash can?

Important! You must uninstall Kies for Mac before running Android File Transfer. Otherwise, the application will not connect to your device.

To uninstall Kies, download the Kies for Mac software by visiting the Kies website.

From Finder, click Go > Downloads > KiesMac_xxxx.dmg > Uninstall.

Why do you even need to connect your phone to the mac to root? Unless you have a 64gb sd card your going to have to format the sd card by taking it out of your phone first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ARHicken:
Did all those things don't have 64 gig SD card so how do I start this root without connecting I'm not a noob to custom recovery always read and with this Mac junk these phones really do have major compatibility issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
The card just needs to be formatted correctly.

Once that is done you need to extract the files to the root of the card.

You should be able to format the card in the phone.

Take the card out of the phone and use an adapter to directly connect to the Mac.

That's what I did.

Hello,

Is there a stable rom that is stock for the Nexus 4, with the only addition being that of theme chooser (the t-mobile themer from CM roms)?

I would be happy using 4.3, but 4.2 is fine as I guess that Jellybean is probably more stable right now.

I know there are dozens of Nexus 4 roms but none appear to be stock, they are all stock (or aosp based) with millions of tweaks, mods and what ever else, ie CM, AOKP, Slim, PA..... I was looking for plain old stock with theme chooser.

Thanks.

Can't easily find any solution to this so wondering if someone knows.

/system/app

-rw-r--r-- root root 4327739 2008-08-01 12:00 SamsungHubApp1.0.10.apk

Are these two APKs safe to remove, exactly what does each do, if removed will there be problems if the phone is factory reset? Will removal impact the stability of the phone? (Don't wish to brick it.) I've already managed to re-organise APKs between /data/app and /system/app to make the phone think it's new by removing some bloat-ware and moving updates into /system/app

I don't use the "Samsung Hub" or Samsung's version of Google Play and would like to free about 4.4Mb in System App.

That's generally it. A nice simple question. Can anyone assist? :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
Safe to remove

Just flash your stock rom via odin to get back to how it was out the box

Always do a nandroid backup so you can restore in case of bricks - the amount of people I see who do something muck it up & you tell them just restore your nandroid backup & you will be back to how you was & they go they haven't got one - well that's their own fault

Anyway back up in cwm
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Myron.S:
Thaks for the reply. I've read about roms, but please be gentle with me and patient as when it comes to all thjings like flashing roms, I'm reasonably skittish that my attempt at trying to flash any rom might also brick the phone. The only reason I rooted my phone is to move system app updates into /system/app. I've moved the like of Maps, StreetView into /system/app and odexed them. I'm trying to be very careful to leave the crucial system apps well alone.

Which is the best guide, that not written by someone who assumes that the reader will be able to fill in the missing bits, that goes through the steps of getting the right CWM rom for the SG-Y and flashing that into the phone in a way that it won't brick itduring the flashing and in the future. At the moment my phone has the stock rom in it.

I've seen many frustrated Android geek-heads replying to something similar as "google is your friend" and also seen a few who have tried to flash a cwm rom into the phone and bricked their phones in the process.

As to odin? got the program. I'm quite concerned about getting the exact rom binary for the phone. Don't wish to accidentally flash the wrong rom and/or using the wrong method.

I think I've come to the conclusion that Samsung won't be releasing any OTA updates. Another reason for rooting the phone, so I could install rekey.

I'm no stranger to the linux shell, know how to use adb and I've messed with the phone a fair bit and it still works, better than before so I'm not one of the clueless bunch. :cyclops:

Any user friendly assistance for someone who's simply new to all things flashing Android roms would be awesome. ;)

Odin flashable firmware is at top of dev section in thread by doky

To be fair if you ask basic questions you will get the answer use Google or search - why? Because all the answers have already been provided you just have to look and read them

If every new person kept asking the same basic questions which have been answered time and time again we will not get anywhere and just annoys people because all they have to do is type in Google & their questions the answers will instantly appear

Is it possible to root this with "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31" ?

Thx for help.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
Proceeding at all with 7.4.7 is at own risk. I have a used tablet coming in the mail and will be here Tuesday. I will restore and test out rooting with binary and try some KFFA things with 7.4.7. I won't know anything until late Tuesday evening. Maybe someone will come along with some information before then. If not, I will let you know then.

Edit - Because this is possibly new hardwareI have edit my response to say just don't try it until you here from those who made the scripts give the all clear. I thought this was just an update to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD and the new Kindle Fire HD. This may not be the case. Until it gets sorted out, probably best to wait for the devs to sound off.

How did you tried? Did it root? Did you have a factory cable?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Try this...

Get Bin4ry's root and extract the 'fakebackup.ab'. Get ADB set up and working and enter the following:

adb restore fakebackup.ab

If the restore screen pops up, where it says "restore my data" at the bottom (don't press on it though), then there's a good chance they didn't patch the exploit. If the ADB restore hasn't been disabled, I would say go ahead and try to root it. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the factory cable still works though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] isaiahmontero:
Confirmed as working

I Have successfully rooted my kindle fire HD 7 - 7.4.7

With the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31

1) WHILE KINDLE IS UNPLUGGED Uninstall all kindle Drivers:

Download The adb drivers from the post

2) Go to settings on Kindle Enable ADB

3) Plug kindle in,

When the device is recognized you can now root.

4) Open the tool, Select option one, and read the instructions on the tool.

But because I'm not confident about my root I rather use amazon-handicapped device than get a brick.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
I would not proceed until your root is working properly. Sometimes the rooting process has to be repeated. You will want to get a fastboot cord just in case if you try to install ROM.

Just the other day I had to run root and restore 4 times before it took. Ended up I got the one that installs Apex launchers as well and just installed that afterward.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

Now you see why I suggested, as well as why it's stated in the OP, to obtain a fastboot cord. The reason the storage did not mount is because the Kindle Fire HD does not support OTG cords (no flash card support.) Did you try to wipe Dalvic and CACHE after flashing the ROM? Did you factory swipe and then re-flashed the ROM? Did you take make a nandroid of you stock ROM to flash if something went wrong? This is standard procedure when modding.

This is not the fault of CM. This is human error and the fact you rushed into a mod you were not properly researched in. Perhaps you might take the advice from those taking their time to help you. Had you done so, we could get your tablet straitened out right away.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] yanogore:
Well... after installation of CM11 everything worked well, I've installed some apps etc and was using tablet for like over an hour. Then I went to setting and added second user but started skipping google account setup for it. A this point I started getting errors that google services crashed etc. and since then when I tried to run some apps everything started crashing, then when I went to gallery it said that there is no storage.

So I've rebooted the kindle and since then it stuck on the blue kindle logo. I rebooted to twrp wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted same thing happend. Rebooted to twrp and wanted to restore backup from storage but storage couldn't be mounted. So I couldn't access rom installation files too. then I went on to adb and pushed rom files but installation failed as it couldn't mount storage it couldn't install zips. I've downloaded kindle restore tool and tried to restore it in fastboot to 7.2.3 or 7.4.6 - I can't remember exactly right now. Whole process took like between 5 and 10 minutes as wiping took quite long this time. Reboot of the tablet and I'm in the loop now. I haven't copied backup created by twrp but I have saved backup from kffa (all 11 partitions).

I still don't quite understand how factory cable is needed for installing second bootloader and/or rom as it seems that installation went ok but then some corruption in system files caused storage not being mounted and that led to what i'm in now - maybe I'm wrong but I think that there is some glitch in the cm11. If I'll manage to get it back to life I might try kinelogy, but kitkat seems like it has better resource utilisation etc.

Am I correct that now when I get the cable and boot tablet to fastboot I need to use this kindle restore tool or kffa to install new rom or restore backup that I have created (11 partitions)? I'm worrying why it went to bootloop after using that recovery tool.
