#StayBroken

Dude, you need to go Broken. You all need to go Broken.

Once you #GoBroken you'll #StayBroken.

Dysfunctional Developers BrokenOS ROM.

What makes Broken stand out ?? Two things, the level of optimization and the level of custumizability. The BrokenOS ROM for Angler is INSANELY optimized. For instance, in the Google Play store, when scrolling down "your apps" list as fast as you can, the scrolling always stops to wait for the content cache update speed to catch up with the scrolling speed, every few pages downwards.

On a fresh flash of Broken, I can scroll from top to bottom in one long, smooth, fast-as-lightning scroll, while "flipping" frantically downward on the screen with my fingers to scroll as fast as I can. I have never, ever been able to do that on any ROM on any device before. Yes, you can tweak and tune with cache-values and such and get super-fast super-smooth scrolling on any ROM, but this has it right out of the box and it doesn't compromise with resources and other features. Because that level of optimization can be felt in every little feature and function of the ROM. They don't just use a kernel config app like Synapse for optimizing settings, they've made their very own Broken optimized version of Synapse for the Broken ROM.

BrokenOS doesn't feel like a ROM that's made to impress or have more features, whistles or bells than everybody else, or anything like that, it feels like it quite simply is made to be the best possible ROM for the Angler, period.

Reaper doesn't seem quite as solid to me, even if it has that fast and smooth scrolling thing and such going for it too. It just lacks that un-definable X-factor that sets true masterpieces like Broken apart. But it'll get there, I could feel some of the awesomeness from Broken in the last Reaper-release a week ago or so, and now I see there's another new release just 12 hours ago. I also use xposed for some bank and ticket-apps and such to work with root, so I'm still on Broken, but just replace the word "Broken" with "Reaper" in this comment.

Now you're all very confused.

Broken = 6.0.1

Reaper = 7.1.1

Both is a ROM from Dysfunctional ROMs, one of those ultra-hard-core-enthusiast-developers groups who think they are too good for XDA and won't bother with all the "nonsense", and whom I for once grant them every right to think so, hehe.

As a flash-aholic and theme-junkie, it's a bitter sweet awesomeness though, because after you go Broken there's no more places to go, no more ROM's to flash. Once you go Broken everything else quite simply feels like a step back and down, like you're degrading and like rubbish.

You won't find it here on XDA, and you know how it is, so I ain't gonna provide any links, but just #StayBroken and you'll get there.

Another hidden masterpiece out there that I use with this ROM is the Substratum Theme CrystalTronik Dark. A black and Tron-like cyan theme that really shows the awesomeness of AMOLED, with the letters looking like glowing candy floating in pitch black darkness. Or it's really not that hidden, come to think about it, since it's one of the show-case themes shown in the Substratum app, or else you'll find it in the Substratum G+ forum.

Again, CrystalTronik Dark is THE theme I've been looking for all my life, since I've literally been looking for just exactly a black and blue to cyan theme which is just that, and no more, so somewhat bitter-sweet to finally have that too. ^^
