"Best" ROM.

There is no such thing as a best ROM. The question itself is ambiguous. "Best" is obviously a subjective term.

What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM, ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.

If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few pages (and have the most posts) in the Android Development or Original Android Development forums. You can also see what other people are running by reading the What are YOU running on your Nexus 6??? thread.

If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device - they're all pretty stable.

If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery if they have a feature that is badly coded. You will likely be able to read about this in the ROM threads. ROMs do not impact battery life. The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings, how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone Signal.

For tips about improving battery life, please read [Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!

"Best" Kernel

There is no such thing as the "Best" kernel. What we all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the misconception that Kernels affect battery life. Let's get this cleared up. Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.

People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery life". This is actually wrong. Kernels respond to user settings. Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning. The reason people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their kernels up with their preferred governor settings. This is what we refer to as out-of-the-box settings. The out-of-the-box settings for kernel x may well produce better battery results than the out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance. The fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits of one kernel over another.

Hope this helps

I know there isnt a "best" rom. Guess I should have worded it differently lol. Thank you for all that insight though. Ive rooted and run custom roms before and loved it. Just out of the loop a bit.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
I run stock ROM, rooted and encrypted. I use Franco Kernel because it has the features I want, and he's written an excellent companion app to keep the kernel up to date, as well as let you easily adjust kernel settings. Good stuff.

When a stable CM12 is out for N6, I'll probably switch to that. Running CM12 nightlies on my N7 LTE with good success, but I need the "guaranteed" stability of a milestone release for my phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
lol!

its cm, there's no guaranteed stability with any version. there are nightlies that are more stable than any milestones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8Fishes:
Agreed.. a stable build is generally one with more fixes put into it vs checked in features.

The only stable rom is whatever google puts out because they have the resources to actually do QA and testing.

More than the CM maintenance person for our device can do anyways.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
lol

Absolutely agree! (thus having "guaranteed" in quotes) But with a "stable" release, you're less likely to encounter a show-stopper in my experience.

For instance, the other day, I put the latest nightly on my N7, and it killed it. It would boot okay, but System UI would crash constantly. Accept the error message, and crash again. I turned it off at that point, and flashed the next nightly the day after. Problem solved.

Now, the last nightly I successfully installed broke recovery, and the new nightlies won't flash. I haven't bothered fixing that yet because the nightly on it right now is generally playing nice with everything.

My N6 is personal, but I use it a lot for work. I need to know that it's going to work every time I grab it. I just can't be sure of that with a nightly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats one reason i dirty flash all the time(not cm, but an aosp rom). if an update is no good, things crash and such, i just reflaah the older version(right in top, and it boots up fine again. no wiping anything. also, and most importantly, make a backup in recovery. that way if an update is no good, all you have to do is restore that backup, and all will be like before you flashed it. i used to be a cm fanboy, from day one to about 3-4 years ago. and i know cm really well. many times a nightly could be much more stable then a milestone :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Nothing is best here :) That completely depends on you taste. I like Parandroid cause of the perfection it comes with. Even Alpha version is much stable than most of the ROM's beta version. It completely depends on your personal taste :)

Hey guys, so i'm trying to install the following items:

-SlimLp F2FS (Android L)

-M-Kernel_a73.zip

and

-Slim_full_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150213-482

I use NRT to get into TWRP and from there I follow the following steps (my system is already in F2FS mode which i reformatted from the existing Ex?? one)

Clean Flash:

Wipe syste, data, cache, dalvik cache

Flash the rom

Flash Slim gapps or L Gapps (IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAAPS AND L GAAPS IS and they take me ultimately to the same link so wtf)

Reboot

The main issue is, after the tablet reboots and opens up I don't see the play store, i don't see ANY google items and I can't install anything. It seems to me that the GAAPS zip isn't being installed properly. I've already installed the main ROM, then GAAPS, then the M kernel and nothing seems to work. I don't see any playstore icons even in the app drawer. Can someone please explain to me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Is Nokia X/XL Support this Feature?

If Not Can this APP Work ?

So I am completely stock unrooted and have never rooted this phone. I am on Lollipop. Ever since my phone loses connection to my WiFi randomly, and today at work I put a lock on and now I can't take it off. I have a screen shot of what it shows when I try to. Also, I noticed it never shows I have LTE even though I'm in an LTE area, is that just an HTC thing. Another thing I've noticed is where my G3 would get full on LTE this phones only showing 2G and it's definitely only on 2G.

I'm thinking bout purchasing the Consumer Cellular Moto G NXT (basically a moto g 2014)

But I want to flash the stock retail firmware on it.

Question is, should Sim unlock it before or after flashing stock firmware?

Does it even matter?

My worry is if I flash the firmware before Sim unlocking, it'll make it where I can't unlock it.

And if I do it after I unlock it, I'm worried if I'll relock the Sim..

Hello Guys of Xda.

I wonder if you who have experience in this business of ROMS. You can cook a kernel for the tab 4 7.0 (SM-T230) having the gpu overclocked and I have seen in the tab 3 ROMS is overclocked 416-620 something and than the cpu. I think it would be a challenge or something similar as these two tablets have the same gpu (Vivante GC1000) and the same company of cpu (Marvell PXA)

Sorry for my English, I do not speak it.

Thanks for your time, have a nice day.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb526dfp:
Hi,

Recently i got motorola defy plus from my friend which has AsiaRetail version out of the box.

It is BL7 and DFP231 and has android 2.3.6.

It works fine with this AsiaRetail stock rom.

I tried to root and flash custom rom.

The only procedure i have seen is flashing two sbf, the second one being already rooted, but not AsiaRetail.

So, i flashed both the sbfs and installed sndinit and flashed custom roms cm7, 9, 10.1, 11.

All of the custom roms along with this rooted sbf rom had WEAK GPS SIGNAL . the number of satellites will not go beyond 0/2 and fine position lock never happens with gps alone.

Have you faced this issue. What is the solution...?

I think it is due to baseband / driver issues. How can i use AsiaRetail baseband with this rom?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEclipse:
I randomly started to get this issue where, when I play music, lock and unlock my phone, it'll start to repeatedly crash until I stop playing music. So the cause has to do with the little music display that shows up on the lockscreen when you play music. It'll load into a different looking screen with the same lockscreen background, and not the Album background, and then it'll crash, and it'll just repeat this until I stop the music. Is there a way to disable the music display? I use Doubletwist as my music player. I haven't rooted or tampered with any of the firmware on this device (yet). I have fully updated its firmware, however.

Please let me know if anyone needs extra information to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance!

Edit: This only seems to happen when the track doesn't have any album artwork.

It would be much easier for me if somebody would share a Linux server with me to download and compile the sources with a good download rate, that would be about twenty gigs to download and nearly 100 to compile of hard disk space. It should have at least a quad core and for gigs of ram.
