LOL. Totally not meant to be a best ROM thread. Just wanted to know if anyone was tracking reliability or issues common to the different ROMs in a way that was easy to sift through and not totally anecdotal.

I never figured out what was causing problems with my last ROM. TBH, I don't even recall what the kernel and ROM combination was. It was just something some random XDA forum member suggested. The biggest issue is that every time I opened the camera app, went away from it and came back, it would crash. Also happened when switching between camera and video. Sometimes it would require a system reset to get the camera back. I think it was something to do with the app itself, cause other apps that took pictures never had any problems. Super annoying. There were some other issues to. I stuck it out for a long time because the app fixed a BT audio issue I was having and I was too lazy to do more searching or reflashing my phone from scratch.

Right now I am just trying to make my phone last until the Sony Z3 launches. I am pretty sure that will be my next phone. Hopefully it won't cost a crazy amount to import it if t-mobile doesn't get it right away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
AOSP camera was always crap in general but especially so on the S3.

You can get an updated on in the play store now, so you can freeze the AOSP one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aviphysics:
The camera in the latest AOKP was working fine, but I downloaded the Google Camera app just to check it out. Works fine taking normal pictures, but the blur mode causes it to crash when you try to take a picture and the panorama/photosphere modes won't take pictures. I found some other people with identical problems, but didn't see a clear solution.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It was originally for the Nexus 5, then they put it on the play store for everyone. Clearly issues with non Google devices.

I'd suggest a third party camera app, like Camera ZOOM or something.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] グリッチ:
As the title asks, is there any way to do this? I know it's a system app but is there no way to install it on a custom ROM?

I went from [NUT]'s 4.4.4 Stock to my more preferred ROM KitSlim. As usual I use TiBu before moving from one ROM to the other.

I do know that on NUT's ROM the POBox is installed, and on the KitSlim it is not. So I backed up the system app 'POBox Touch' as well as 'Japanese Keyboard Layout' (because I don't know if that one was needed as well).

So I have the .apk and stuff, but when I go to recover either from tibu, or ES File Explorer none of them work.

'Japanese Keyboard Layout' got restored but when I try to restore the POBox on TiBu it just stays stuck on restoring. And on ES File Explorer it just says did not install.

Any ideas? Does it have to do with signature stuff? Any workaround?

Do I have to extract the stock one and the custom rom and put it in then repack it as a .zip?

Yes I know about other keyboards like Simeji, but if possible I'd like to keep the POBox Keyboard.

KitSlim dev has released a patch for his ROM exactly what I wanted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geek654:
What would be in your idea (your suggestions) for keeping HTC One M7 updated with the latest OTAs? while keeping it rooted?

I do not change ROMs or else. I just require root to be able to run some apps (e.g. droidwall). I like to keep my phone updated regularly with the OTA updates. What would be the best strategy to do so?

for example:

a) getting a stock recovery for the phone.

unlocking bootloader, custom recovery, rooting, (s-on).

then whenever an OTA is announced, backing up phone with adb,

flashing with stock recovery,

updating OTA

restore app and data backup

b) unlocking bootloader, custom recovery, rooting, (s-on).

then whenever an OTA is announced, waiting for some time, so that OTA will be available for download as zip file from forums.

when the OTA zip file is available for download, back up phone with adb,

Install update from OTA file (how?)

restore app and data backup

c) ??

Please let us know what you think. what are your solutions. if a or b are feasible? how? any better strategy?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Best strategy is to ignore carrier updates completely

your at XDA we have releases sometimes months before the carrier gets around to it. Just pick a custom rom you like and follow it. MaximusHD / ARHD / Insertcoin / ViperOne are always far ahead of any OTA package and already rooted / with numerous tweaks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geek654:
migrating to custom ROM

My previous android was not very popular so there was very few ROMs for it. and all of them had silly problems with camera, screen etc. I guess you can say I had bad experience with custom ROMs.

So these custom ROMs you mentioned, would have all of the original apps and functions as well (not bloatapp of course, but apps like HTC Sense, and blink feed option, zoe camera, and animated photos. etc) ?

CanI backup my apps and data from current stock rom, and after flashing a custom ROM I restore them there? or it won't work?

What I should use to back up? adb backup command from usb debugging mode, or titanium backup app?

what are the most popular custom ROMS most affine to stock ROM and most stable (I know it is subjective, just asking to know your opinions).

thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
my backup strategy when using custom roms is

copy sdcard to PC (everything)

I use HTC Backup ..it saves my contacts / messages / app settings and folder / desktop layout.

The roms I listed above are the only ones I use, their all mostly stock, Sense based roms

When you say you were running GPE, does that mean you did the full conversion re-sizing your system partition?

I'm not sure but it wouldn't reboot and install 4.4.4 until I factory reset my device on GPE then it downloaded the update. I had a stock factory recovery.img and it said it was successful until i rebooted it. I changed my recovery back to TWRP so I can fix the problem and so far no luck.

Follow this guide:

Even if you weren't full converted to GPE it will still restore your phone.

Have a ROM on your extSD or adb push it for the last steps

how can i move the apps data to sd card ????

i have searched but found nothing useful

please help me

tnx:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
The only prerequisite is to have a rom with init.d support (all custom roms have it but not the stock roms) and then an SD Card with ext partition.You can make use of the CronMod script to move the data to the ext partition of the SD Card. Make sure to create an ext partition on the SD Card. Download the script from below link and place it in the SD Card. Now boot in to CWM and do Mounts & Storage> Mount /system, then choose "Install zip from SD Card" & choose the required script from SD Card and finally do Mounts & Storage> Format /sd-ext. Reboot and go to Settings> Storage to see you newly increased internal memory.

Cronmod Unofficial / Data2sdext

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
Follow the link and download the "CronMod Unofficial-By Styrke" from attached files. It's actually a script that you can flash from CWM. Once you flash this script, it moves everything in your internal memory to ext partition of the SD Card automatically. Make sure to follow the instructions from my previous post. Hope I Helped :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
What rom are you using now? Can you check if there is a file named 40int2ext inside /etc/init.d using a root file manager? If there is no such file, then the installation was a failure. Do post the result. Hope I Helped :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
While using CronMod script, you don't have to move app to ext partition of the SD Card as the script will automatically do so.

Okay, you are on an older version. You need to update to 3.75 B04, or if there is a newer one at this point, us it.

So when I play a game on my hox+ connected to the official charger I get a warning that tells me I'm consuming more power than it's charging.

Is there a way round this, I know it's to do with amps do I just need to get a power adaptor that can change voltage down a usb cable...

What's the solution guys?
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
Just don't charge your phone while playing games (especially heavy 3d games), it makes your phone heating up even more. And definitely use power saving mode or a lower cpu frequency cap (depending on what rom you use) while gaming.
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
I've got this warning when I used the official charger connected with two usb cables and the micro usb on the end of it (so I had 3 meters of cable :) ). But unfortunately, longer cable = slower charging.

Are you sure you use the official charger and the official micro usb cable? I read that there are plenty Chinese micro usb cables in stores which can't be used to charge devices.
[HTC One X+] eskimosound:
So there's no solution then! I don't care about heating up and I've got tegra overclock, I just want a more powerful charger I think.

[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
I thought that was clear, don't "add" to what you have? Are you aware of what an array is ? or a list? and an adapter? cause I think I would start there, you just keep adding to the list that powers the adapter. If you dont want to add to it just don't, either clear it or replace it.

so just to be clear, a list or map has the method .clear() <--- that clears it of all data
[Java for Android App Development] clonedaccnt:
I've already solve the problem earlier, I was going to post that I've already solve it but found out that you've already replied on the thread, sorry. About the problem, yes I too used the .clear() of the ArrayList to clear the array before adding a new one, it's my first time to create an activity that pass the data on the same activity, I'm used to passing the data from one activity to another so I don't have a chance to encounter this kind of problem.

Anyways thanks for helping I will not have accomplished this without your help.

[General Questions and Answers] ArminasAnarchy:
AFAIK the dev has had no problems, and the two different installs I've had have been different builds.

Also I've no idea where to start to find a new ROM; Linux has the fantastic DistroWatch, but no such resource exists for ROMs (AFAIK).

Finally...I'm quite fussy :P. CM is just the right balance of features - if you want 'em - and stock, vanilla (or even barebones) if you don't. I had a HOX+ in the past, and so many of the ROMs for that were all about eyecandy and glitter - fat I'd rather trim.
