What is the best way to switch between different ROM's?

For example, I want to switch between:

* Stock ROM (I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar)

* BeanStalk ROM (BeanStalk-4.4.4065-20140918-infuse4g.zip)

The main problem, that I see, is different partition layout. in those ROM's. And I don't know any other way, but repeat installation of BeanStalk 3 times (just to install it), run its Recovery to restore its backup and then, when I want to switch back to stock ROM, I have to unbrick the phone with Odin3 (it restores old Recovery) and use its old Recovery to restore ROM's backup. Unfortunately there are 2 different CWM Recoveries involved (v2.5.1.3 - "red" and v6.0.5.1 - "blue"), that use different formats and it looks like they can't restore other backups correctly...

Is there a one stable Recovery that could do the job by simply making backups and restore old ROM's when I need it?

Thank you in advance :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciskim:
I have been searching high and low for a way for Android to output via HDMI to a portrait mounted/rotated screen. I have found a few people who've asked the same question in the past - but no threads have real answers.

Back in the days of Galaxy Nexus, there was no 'exploded portrait' where Android just assumes your screen is horizontal/landscape - I have attached 2 files to explain the difference.

The reason is that I have a few retail clients who already have portrait mounted screens (that you see around shopping malls all the time) and I just can't seem to be able to find an Android OS / Driver setting or an Android HDMI stick that already does this. Can anyone help me out here?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4w0ne:
Try wiping dalvik and see if that works. If not try checking your APN settings and make sure they're correct. You could clean wipe everything and install the ROM just to be sure, or even flashing the Radio Firmware if you so desire.

So I found out the alarm clock isn't working for me.

The clock will produce the alarm on my phone but never use any sound.

I have changed the notification sound of the alarm clock to make sure it wasn't a missing file.

I checked to make sure the alarm volume wasn't turned down.

I'm not sure what else to look into at this point.

I didn't have silent mode on or anything that would disable notifications.

ambient display sensitivity

I have been lurking on here a while, just decided to make an account to post. This is a great ROM; however, I have one issue. Whilst driving or sitting up from a chair the ambient display goes off. Is there anyway to code a way for the proximity sensor to be checked to determine whether to turn on the ambient display or not. I have seen this implemented into other ROMs and it seemed to works pretty well. If not, is there possibly a way to modify something to reduce the sensitivity for the activation of the ambient display?

Lag in messenger?

I wasn't sure where to post this but need to say what I've noticed! I am using the 2.15MP and I am loving it so far however I've noticed quite a long delay when sending messages of any kind. When sending a SMS,MMS etc... when you touch the send button it has a long delay of at least a full second sometimes it seems longer, from when you push the send button to when the phone responds and actually responds to send button push./touch. It delays so long sometimes that I will push it twice thinking I didn't touch it well enough! I was using a different UI so I stopped using that to see if it was the problem but it was not the problem still existed. I did not have this problem when on the stock 5.0.1 LolliPop rom. I am using it on the Nexus 6 XT1103. Anyone else seeing this? Yes, I did a totally clean install with wipe!

I figured out why. If you install nova then downgrade then upgrade Google app. It removes the search bar in the recent apps menu.

Can we have a sticky comparison table of all WM6 flavors?

It's just really getting harder and harder to pick with ones to try out or which one we should focus on. I really like the new COOKED ROMS but still don't know what is the advantages of using one over the other!

Also maybe having a comparison table will help build the SUPER ROM! All the cooks collaborating would be awesome for everyone...

What do you guys think?

So here's what I started!

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs

See Comparison Chart!

I think you should put on your flame suit....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mshagg:
Like anything in this "hobby", its a matter of taking time and reading. Compare the differences between the versions, read the threads.

From what ive seen in my fairly short time here, if you want quick easy answers or if you want someone to make the decision for you.... then XDA developer forums might not be the right place for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joej:
Please read the FAQs, Wikis, and the various release notes. To get a better picture yet, install it yourself. This is pretty much a self help forum, screaming in such a way is only going to invite lots of flames.

If you think the comparison is good and since it isn't there. Why don't you come up with it? I am sure all the n00bs will benefit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spidy.web:
I have installed all of them and I still am torn between a couple of them cause one has stuff I like to have on the other or vice versa.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spidy.web:
I have installed all of them and I was going to start a comparison table myself but with the way its changing almost everyday it seems to make more sense to have the cooks update their own table!

I am a newbie too and don't want to make a mistake on such comparison table. I think the senior members or cooks are more fit to produce it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spidy.web:
I don't mind getting flamed Custel! I'm a big fan of your ROM and I just want to simplify it for everyone cause its just getting out of hand.

BTW what do you have in mind for 1.4?

<rant>

Cheers for wasting 2k of our bandwith custel. This shows that you can't be orignal as people have been saying in your thread (eg black). And i have seen maby its time for you to put on your suit. </rant>

To the poster:

Mate the best thing you can do is read, the wiki, and threads. I personally think its a grrat idea. If you got some time have a play in the wiki and see what you can do.

Im sure if you ask the cooks (in their relevand threads and not via PM) they would be happy to tell you what they believe the posatives and negatives (lol) or their roms are.

Then maby you can flash them and make a wiki page for future people that are asking the Big Question.

It's actually difficult to get an easy answer to what you're asking. Comparison chart is tough to write up at this point (or ever) i think.

I know some people will respond/brush you off and say "read the wiki" but as someone who was in a similar situation, I find that the wiki stinks for a beginner.

Hermes Wiki is a lot more valuable after learning your way in the forums and reading the individual ROM threads, past and present. After that, the wiki starts to make sense and becomes a great way to learn about the developments and modifications.

I would read the boards for a couple of days before doing anything and get a feel for what each developer is trying to do. After that, start going through the wiki and see what you want to do with your device.

After that, I personally installed the different ROMS (after taking the appropriate precautions against bricking the device) and actually trying them out in the field. I still have mixed feelings about which ROM is best for ME but so far i have narrowed it down to the Black and Custel cooked ROMS. (This was after a couple of weeks!)

And it is also true that this site isn't really for someone to get in, pick out the "best" cooked rom and then get out. It's more of a long term committment in my opinion.

Hope that helps and good luck.
