There will never be a "perfect" ROM; each chef has their own favourite base applications that they cook in to the ROM, but these don't always suit everyone.

You're not giving too much away, are you??? What device do you have, what country are you in, what provider do you use, etc.....

As for "purposes", they're pretty nondescript - IT Management/Networking is my job too, but there are countless add-on applications you might need over and above the standard issue WM6 apps (like RDP client - and there are several versions of that!!). University purposes; does that mean you need Word or OneNote for lectures, or what? Similarly, Freelance covers a multitude of sins......so you're a freelance what?? Hitman, photographer, journalist, the list goes on....... :)

Everyone you ask will recommend their own personal (current) favourite ROM, but their favourite may not suit you at all. As for my personal recommendation, it would go something like this....I use JJ's Black ROMs - currently Black Satin, but I have also heard good reports of Schaps 3.57x series of ROMs (the 3.60 series is still being developed and there are one or two oddities still being ironed out).

Honestly, your best bet would be to start with a "Lite" ROM (one without all the extra crap built in) and then add the things you want; networking utils, productivity tools, etc....oh, and the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT thing to do before you start on your ROM flashing expedition is to READ - the guide(s) written by MrVanx (http://www.mrvanx.org) and the XDA Wiki for the Hermes (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes) are essential reading material.

Everyone who has replied to your post has given good advice - it's up to you the route you take, but there are plenty of willing people ready to help if you get stuck along the way.

Enjoy!!!

for the time being tnt v2 is the most fastest and stable one...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Xachariah:
I had this dilemma, I eventually went for Schaps or whatever it's called as it seems the most popular all rounder. I'm loving it and I think I'll keep it on. I get extremely nervous flashing ROMs so once a year sounds good to me, can't afford to be indesicive and brick it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bapski:
would suggest any ROM with LITE versions then you can just look around for applications that you need and install them..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] biggary:
hi, there are so many roms out there, quite a few have lots of added apps, some useful some not, but if you using your phone just for specific things, get a 'LITE' rom and add what you need, search for the new supa duper lite rom, its got loads of space, very nippy... then just fill up what you need.:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] biggary:
Actually Scrub that, Supa Dupa Lite Rom is the Dogs, But in all Fairness, You want a 'all rounder', a rom with a good selection of apps, very very nice and very stable, my friend, i think that ANY schaps roms will fit the bill
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vzoli:
i dont know why but 3g and hsdpa data works with tmobil based roms, htc one wont work just gprs and edge. is there any tmobil patches to make it work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pvs:
And to throw another option out...there are several very neat kitchens out there, if you look around. Using one (or more) of them will enable you to whip up exactly what you need/want.

Of course, learning that process is somewhat involved.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bsanto9:
So after all the praise I gave my note 5 after tmobile sent me a new one, I found a dead pixel or cluster of pixels. I had them send me a new one that was very bad shape so they are sending me another one which should be here tomorrow this really sucks. I wouldn't have cared if I didn't see it and it was a nice little black spot on my right hand side of my screen. Ugh

A post on oneplus forums suggested using conservative governor for cpu to improve gaming performance.

It seems to work with every game I tried.
[OnePlus X General] Funk Wizard:
Dont go by what noobs say, the name it self says conservative, need i say more?
[OnePlus X General] adity:
Dude I swear it works. I know it sounds counter intuitive but it really makes the games work good which used to stutter previously.

You can try it yourself. It doesn't really that much effort.

Even I dismissed it before but when nothing worked I thought of giving it a try
[OnePlus X General] Funk Wizard:
If your game works good on conservative i think you haven't really tried other governors like blu_active, smartmax, elementalX and performance.
[OnePlus X General] adity:
I am only saying tis after testing it. I've used enough android to know what works and what doesn't.

Let others decide if it works or not
[OnePlus X General] psychem:
yea someone on youtube reviewing it said the same as OP. he concluded that there is some bug with the interactive governor in OPX. im using conservative too after watching that video
[OnePlus X General] mdsaif92:
I tested this myself. I'm running stock rom, rooted and no other changes made. Changed the governor to conservative, found zero lag while playing asphalt 8 at full settings. It's plays butter smooth!
[OnePlus X General] nachiketa.ramesh:
How does one change the CPU governor on stock?
[OnePlus X General] adity:
I used kingroot to root and then flashed a script from terminal emulator and then flashed supersu.
[OnePlus X General] nachiketa.ramesh:
Thanks
[OnePlus X General] Manelit:
And then what? which app did you use?
[OnePlus X General] mdsaif92:
Using kernel auduitor. Surprisingly it shows up a few governors available to choose on the kernel
[OnePlus X General] Wind07:
Those governors are included in every kernel lol
[OnePlus X General] bagufix:
Hi

Can I make root (kingroot), next download KernelAdiutor, install and use left menu to select CPU or GPU, change CPU governor to Conservative and GPU governor to Performance, after that unistall root?

Hi I've got to return my phone so I need to return it back to stock, I made a backup when I first rooted my phone and installed the custom recovery, if I flash this backup will it return my phone to stock and get rid of the warning while in bootloader ? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
No it won't. You need to flash the factory images, format userdata, and relock the bootloader. Instructions are in my guide:

[Google Chromecast] sissiekron:
Hello,

I want to show a dashboard on the tv in my company. The app is ready and it works fine ( checked it at home) but through the network policies in the company it is not possible to give the chromecast internet access. Is there a work around for the App id check ? The webserver is installed locally . The Cast should only show a website form the server.

Maybe it would be great if there is a solution without rooting it, but with a good guide it would also be possible.

Is there a way to manipulate the Google DNS ?

Greets,

Sissie
[Google Chromecast] dabombcra:
I have not seen a work around. I have seen this same question posted several times. I travel alot for work and when I'm in the hotels, I use my phone as a Hotspot to get my Chromecast to work. That is an option.

Note 4 using Taptalk
[Google Chromecast] sissiekron:
Thats one point but is their a way to switch the call of the chromecast to his "start"screen in the router to a local "manipulated" website ?
[Google Chromecast] joeyakaspce1130:
If you have a phone with hotspot you could turn it on, connect the Chromecast to it, start up a cast and right after that, turn off your data so it doesn't eat up your data plan and you're all set. Hope this helps!
[Google Chromecast] cleansafi:
Do we need to follow the above steps every time we want to connect cromecast as offline user ?
[Google Chromecast] giancapino:
This needs Internet anyway, even if for a short time

I wonder if this can instead be done this way, with a rooted phone acting as tethered wifi hotspot:

- set CC to connect to the tethered wifi network on the rooted Phone (explained elsewhere)

- set the rooted phone to manipulate iptables (but how'? block? redirect to what?) DNS request to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 coming from the CC

This shouldn't need internet at all.
[Google Chromecast] joeyakaspce1130:
Yes, unfortunately

[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Many of you guys know that the newer Gear VR Consumer Edition apparently doesn't fit the Note 4. So I was searching for the older Innovator Edition for my Note 4, but all of the prices were jacked up to ridiculous amounts on Amazon and Ebay and it was sold out at Best Buy. And then I happened across a seller with certified refurbished Innovator Editions for both the Note 4 and S6 on Amazon for $150 with Prime shipping.

http://amzn.com/B018UHFZXQ

It looks like the 'certified refurbished' is a program from Amazon and it does come with a 90 day warranty.

I also made a Slickdeals post http://goo.gl/XuoyEm because I think there will be plenty of people who will be using their Note 4 for a while and want to experience VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] ThaiM:
Impossible to get one in or to Canada. Scammers on eBay and Amazon.ca selling for upwards of $500.
[Samsung Gear VR] kennysp:
Just ordered one, to be delivered Thursday. Will let you know how it looks. Hopefully works with Sac23's Note 5 Ported ROM, otherwise it'll be time to do some flashin'!
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Yeah, that's why I was so happy to find a certified refub one from a reputable seller. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the microSD card, but the seller has been good about sending one out to me. As soon as I get it, I'll report back.

Thanks, I will do the same.
[Samsung Gear VR] kennysp:
Well, got the Gear VR (1 day early, thanks Amazon!) in a plain white box, and looks almost new to me. The only thing that I might question is whether or not it was used, as the foam surround looks like it may have been worn before.

Overall, no scratches, came with the headgear, back strap, top strap, faceplate cover, extra foam surround, and instruction manual, all in the big black carry case. It did not include the microsd card that is found in the retail version. The headgear did have the protective plastic covering on it as if it were new, but the one that should be on the back strap didn't, and neither did the top piece nor the faceplate cover.

Overall, it's a pretty solid buy, especially since you can download the oculus software from Sandman here. Now, I can't vouch for how well it works yet, since: A. I just unboxed it, and B: I'm running Sac23 Note 5 Ported V2 .1 10/2 http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-sac23-note-5-ported-v1-9-23-t3208932Rom right now, which doesn't seem to support Gear VR. I'm currently installing [ROM] [N910PVPS4COK1] [100% Stock, Root, Odexed&Deodexed, No KNOX/Itson] [12/15/2015]http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3271966 to get that functionality back, and will update once I have done so.

It's not the deal that the new users get with the $99 Gear VR, but compared to the $299 this guy was, I'm pretty happy.
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Thanks for the update. When you get it set up, let us know if everything works.
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Thanks for the update. I got the microsd card today and popped it in my phone, but the touchpad still isn't working. What firmware are you on? I upgraded to the latest 5.1.1 (DOK2), but it's stock. I don't know if that could be the issue or if the Gear VR itself is just defective.
[Samsung Gear VR] kennysp:
I'm on latest as well. If the touchpad isn't working, that's probably a hardware issue with the Gear VR itself. Do you know anybody else with a Note 4 that they can try on your Gear VR? Also, make sure that the micro-usb connection is seated correctly. Sometimes on mine it doesn't push in all the way, and i just lightly press the phone in to make sure it's a firm connection.
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Yeah, I've been fiddling with it to make sure everything is seated properly. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue now. I contacted Samsung, but their customer service is so bad right now. I was almost finished with the RMA process, but their system was down and they couldn't find my serial number. Then while I was waiting for the system to work again, the call got disconnected on their end. They said they would call me back if that happened and took my number, but after 15 minutes of waiting, I called back and had to do the same process again with a different rep. And the system was still down, so she said she would call me back within 24 hours. That was Friday. No call yet.

I have contacted Samsung customer service before, but I don't remember it being that bad.

Anyway, I will call back tomorrow and try to get the RMA finished. If not, I'll have to send it back for a refund. It's sad because I was really excited about the Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] rgh:
Bought one thru Amazon last week

After numerous tries to talk with someone in marketing at Samsung and being unwilling to even pay the $199, found the $150 refurbished on Amazon. The one I got appears to be new, all protective stickers in place and not a mark on it. The only thing "missing" was the SD card but not needed as the software install required at first use put everything that is on the card on my phone. So far so good.

Now looking to find the best solution to use Cardboard in addition to Oculus. Anyone?
[Samsung Gear VR] Techngro:
Unfortunately, I have had such a continued bad experience with Samsung customer service that I have decided to return the Gear VR. I was super excited about it, but at this point it's not worth the aggravation. Three calls, an email, and 6 days and still I can't get them to set up a simple RMA and send me a shipping label despite them telling me everytime that they'll get it done.

Darn Samsung.
[Samsung Gear VR] Telemachus:
Got one for Xmas. Fun but overheats.

$99 consumer is back in stock now... just a simple mod to each corner and should work fine on N4. So back this goes to be refurbished again!
