Stock

Okay stock like AOSP or stock like touchwiz or someshits ?

/thread

I bet you most of Sup Forums runs stock android on their phones which is ridiculous

>System created by g-botnet
>Manufacturers add their own botnet
>Carriers add their own botnet over existing layers of botnet + wallpaper with their logo
>Sup Forums swallows it all

Have some decency and use cyanogen

>tfw CM isn't supported in my model

Cm13 on a note 2 used aroma installer and very few gapps

Resurrection Remix

CM13 + Opengapps pico

What phone?

crDroid, if you want a stable no-bullshit ROM(based on CM but has more features). Exodus seems smoother but has less features and some bullshit like "antipiracy" and "device manager" app. AICP, DU, RR are crDroid-level smooth, have even more features but there's always some bullshit here and there(AICP has antipiracy, in DU you can't disable led flashing on low battery, stuff like that). I'll try blisspop again next week, the last time I tried it it was in the league with those 3. Other ROMs I tried:
>CM
Too barebones, can't even resize the navbar. Babies stick to it for some reason.
>vanir, aokp
Literally dead.
>orion os, temasek, turbo rom
Unstable as fuck.
>every OEM ROM in existence even if it's literally AOSP
Fucking slideshow, literal gigabytes of bloat and lack of ESSENTIAL features like switching tracks with long press of volume buttons, even 2005's SE phones could do that.

Soo you dont like AICP Rom ?

Not much. Not an absolute garbage, but not a daily driver for me. I also forgot about Mokee, I'll try it along with Bliss.

copperhead or nothing, every non nexus phone is trash by default

What's wrong with RR?

I use AICP since a couple of months and I like it but since 1 or 2 months the rom is veeery laggy ...

>falling for the nexus meme

I don't remember exactly, it was missing some feature I needed or crashed when I edited settings tiles. Not garbage as well, just not for me.

cm13 nightly

Galaxy a5 a500M
They are not supported for the M variant and I don't know how to port

RR is good but is a cancer for the themes

Cataclysm with ElementalX kernal

OnePlus One with a Unofficial version of Sultan's Cyanogenmod 13

CM13 on nexus4

I can showcase my setup if you want. What 3 years old hardware with a lightweight setup is capable of.

>falling for planned obsolescence
>buying a phone with no updates

>CM
>Too barebones, can't even resize the navbar. Babies stick to it for some reason.

It is babby behaviour to not want the extra clutter shit?

works great for me, the more minimal it is, the better. also, only ROM still being updated for my phone, last i checked.

Cm is great for stability and support, but otherwise it is as you say lacking in features. You can always try a custom launcher like nova, using a build prop editor, or using the paranoid android rom

Lack of essential features is not "minimal"(especially those that are essentially free on resources), it's just shit. There are lighter ROMs than CM with more features.

yeah don't personally need any of that shit besides changing the lcd density and then I just install nova launcher. pretty boring but it werks.

still missing what essential features you are crying about, but i don't give a fuck. install whatever the fuck.

Cyanogen Mod 13 or just plain AOSP are the best. Even so AOKP is quite nice but there is no version for my Device and I'm way too lazy to compile it on my own.

Soo i use cm or AICP ? I have a Moto G 2013 Falcon

Out of those two, AICP.

>not using the answer of ex-cm devs to cm going corporate

Falling for the "Google's Nexus" meme. I don't want them controlling my phone completely, but they just happen to be, of the OEMs with unlocked bootloaders, the one with the most, and longest lasting third-party support.

>dead since kitkat

gerrit seems pretty alive fäm

Hmm, now that I checked like 7 devices got MM support. What features does it provide over CM?

i haven't used cm since 9, so i can't say for sure but
>header images (& themable)
>header integrated weather
>network usage in statusbar
>that dark "theme" that was on M dev preview, enhanced

maybe more

but omni is less of the mass of features, more about "good features" + big emphasis on stability

...

>want to try CM13 on my HTC One m8
>still no stable CM13 release
why

same here m80
CM is my only choice since it's the only custom ROM that (still, incredibly) supports my crappy old phone

Have you tried long-pressing the settings button or do you genuinely like that tile setup?

is there such as thing as stable?

3 different devices with it, only ever saw nightly.

that's the stock tile setup, which is enough for the few occadions i want to
*) de/activate wifi or mobile data
*) de/activate flashlight

snapshots

>snapshots are to nightlies as manjaro is to arch

Cm12.1

Cm 13 is a fucjig mess and brings no inprovements. Constant random reboots that uninstalls apps too

CM stable is a meme, it has the same phone-specific bugs as nightlies.
You could hide brightness slider(useless when you have brightness regulation via statusbar sliding), disable first row enlargement, add/remove other tiles.

tbqh idgaf, i just eanted to showcase the header images and the integrated weather service

>CM stable is a meme, it has the same phone-specific bugs as nightlies.
well shit

time to stay with htc sense forever then

Yeah, weather is a must have.

Pure Nexus

If your phone doesn't support it, you bought a shit phone.

My favourite is CM

Using RR on my s5

yup.

also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software. CM surprises many uses by giving that feature back.

Sadly, my moto x 1st gen at&t (XT1058) cannot be unlocked so I can't put a different rom on there. I shouldn't have updated to 5.1 lolipop because my research says there's ways to unlock if the version is 4.4. Sucks.

I feel you bro
AOSP Sucks

They're all buggy shit.

had Cyanogenmod for a LONG time now, loving some of the added features, but also having dealt with random crashes somewhat frequently (1-2 times a day)
recently switched to Omnirom for a while (my phone wasn't supported in cm yet) and liked the stability and performance, but loathed the missing features and not-configurable home-button-long press.
Got into linux, set up an Omnirom build-environment and fucking fixed all that stuff. Best rom I ever had

Loved PA when it was still a thing.
Now using stock Moto with GravityBox

>implying that some stock OSes aren't buggy shit
>implying that some custom roms aren't the most stable and bug free OSes you can get

Nexus 4, Note 2, Note 3. CM was buggy on all of them. Fuck, on the Note 3 I couldn't even play youtube videos with custom ROMs.

well you don't fucking use samsung for Cyanogenmod. It's not cyanogenmod's fault if samsung locks down their hardware access
The nexus 4? No Idea why it was bad, usually CM rocks on nexuses

Unrooted stock, the path of least snafu.
>encryption works
>camera works
>OTA updates work
Google has steadily been making stuff break if you're using root, and manufacturers have steadily been making hardware not work unless you're using their framework and drivers.

How do I get just AOSP?

That's a nice home screen how come you haven't posted on one of the /hsg/ threads?

Explaing a phone retard

I am going to buy a new android phone (S7 edge) since i fell for the meme. How do i pick a ROM and what are the consequences?

Because it's a disgusting home screen and he would be laughed out of /hsg/.

Don't buy samsung and use a custom rom. Samsung is a dick about it and your camera might not work or whatever the fuck they figured out they can fuck you over with this time.
Especially on an edge device, why would you get a device with a unique feature only to destroy that feature with a custom rom? Get a Motorola or Nexus or maybe LG or some shit like that if you want custom roms

Choose something that is official, has a lot of support behind it, and seems stable
Cons:
Possible unwanted bugs
Ex: camera not working, phone audio low, battery life get messed up if you don't recalibrate
Warranty broken
Higher repair cost (my personal experience)
Possible soft brick if you're new and don't know your exact device model
Lose some abilities that made the phone unique in the stock rom
Having to use up storage for back ups

MIUI is pretty nice, but it's a RAM hog. Doesn't matter on my 3GB RAM though
>inb4 chinese backdoors

>also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software.
And then there is Samsung (S4) who disable it in hardware. Grounding the antenna or what ever.

Thanks user but is the reason i don't.

Soo more user use Cm

Humm I feel bad im the only guy use AICP on my phone :^)

>AICP
and now you're on the FBI watchlist

forgot to post pic

PAC-Man Rom. It has literally every feature.

You pick a rom by going to forum.xda-developers.com, finding your phone's forum, and reading. A lot.

The first fucking thing you should do though is download a copy of the stock rom so you don't fuck up your phone forever.

Why ? What's the problem with this rom ?

...

>BrokenOS
>The most edginess rom I ever seen

>ICE COLD

CM12S

what's cooler than being cool?

This.

>>also every phone has hardware for FM radio, but carriers lock it down in software. CM surprises many uses by giving that feature back.

This is bullshit though. The manufacturers disable it hardware-side.

Even on phones with stock FM radio support, once you install CM it's gone. You actually need to install a paid app to get that support back.

Agreed

PAC

>carriers lock it down in software

no they lock it down in firmware because it triggers the FCC that users can have software defined radios.

Install Spirit FM Radio and be amazed.

Why would manufacturers even give a fuck?

>cyanogen
>calls CM cyanogen
>babbys first ROM

Dirty Unicorn

Sultan 5.1 rom

Better than the bullshit cm puts out.

Gpe rom or crDroid

Artmod 10

Wew, latest lambda kernel obliterates benchmarks.

Krexus, on my moto g + nexus 7. Basically minimal stock. Then I add xposed

Is that xposed? Which module?
