Q: How do Stock ROMS differ from Cooked ROMS?
A: Stock Roms usually have extra 'bloatware' added which take up extra space on the phone. Custom Roms are stripped down to provide more space and most are tweaked to provide a faster more stable Operating System. Every chef is different so you have to look around the forums to see which Rom is best for your needs.

I like to install Stock (shipped) ROMs and then make my own customizations. So I have flashed the WWE Asia rom and its working very well.
But now I want to install the new Rhodium TF3D 2. It is recommended for OS builds 21000 or higher. However the latest shipped ROMs are less than 21000.
So my question is, how can I upgrade my OS build to 21000 without installing a cooked ROM? I know the answer is probably "no you can't" so my real question is, "being a person who likes to stay as close to a Stock Rom without going into cooked roms, what the best bet to achieve this?"
Thanks again in advance.

simple answer is no you can't. there are some roms out there that are very similar to the stock roms, but I don't recall them off the top of my head. look in the raphael rom section.
I strongly advise you switch to EnergyROM, its stable, DAMN fast, i was like you a week ago and then went ahead with trying a cooked ROM, believe me, you will NEVER want to go back to any stock ROM after using cooked roms, specially EnergyROM. Never!
Just flash it safely and do not forget to do a HardSPL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
If you do not feel secure about flashing, like i was, then 1st backup your original ROM, and then go ahead with HardSPL and flashing
Best of luck and again, believe me, stock ROM is JUNK!
Cheers
You can extract these two files and place them in your windows folder on your phone. It should allow you to use the new Rhodium apps.
I have seen it work and not work when copying the files so use at your own risk.
On ppcgeeks FayFay made a stock sprint 21028 rom if you have sprint.
Heres the link:

Thank you for your replies everyone.
I think I will go ahead with Energy 2.0 and try it out. I was almost ready to do it anyways, this gives me the final push! I just hope its as stable as a stock rom.
Hi,
I have flashed about 30 different ROMs to my SGS2 and I can't seem to find the perfect one. There's loads of different features of different ROMs that I like and I just wanna combine all my favorite features into my perfect ROM. I was just wondering how hard it is to create one and if I need special software and if there is a tutorial out there?
Thanks,
Yogi
If you don't like any of the roms posted grab the base one from the rom kitchen and add onto it a kernel and theme that you prefer.
Doesn't seem to be working

Well mate, if you keep flashing in that rate then after one year the number will be hundred and yet you won't find the one you need. Why not stick with a simple stock ROM? I mean seriously why ultimately we run (not me) for a Custom ROM? For some gimmicks, other than that what we get?
Anyway, if you still wanna flash another then do as the above user said, Kitchen ROM's are more or less good IMO.
You are already getting mad about ROMs, time to enjoy the device.....
Instead of thingking building your own ROM, why not first learn the tricks of modding... have your best Base then mod it with themes, scripts, kernels, moded apks, and etc, its a lot easier IMO...
I've just been reading around about android and deodexed and odexed roms. And im curious why their are no odexed roms?
I know that deodexed roms are more easy for other developers and for themes. But i read that odexed roms take less space and are faster and more efficient with slower boot up times. The drawback is that they are harder to hack. But my reasoning is if a developer is making a rom himself and doesnt need theme like a improved stock rom wouldn't it be beneficial to make it an odexed rom, for the faster speed and less space?
Just curious
I have a galaxy s3 and would like to know how to optimize a custom rom I am trying to make for battery consumption and speed. I know I can add a different kernel but is there anything I can do at the rom level? Btw this is my first custom rom and I am just doing it for fun. Any help is appreciated
Thank you
Hey
There are many optimizations, but I researched, just about all of them are present in Pimp my ROM Either you take them from there and include them in your ROM (Take from the aroma version of PMR) and make sure you have permission from the developer, or, your rom users can simply download pimp my rom and modify the rom themselves
As for zipaligning, you can do that via @dsixda's kitchen

Recommended rom for daily use ?
Stock rom or there is ones way better
Any 4.4 based rom. Stock or CM based should do the work. However touchwiz based is better.
Threads like these have no place because it is personal preference. Stock roms are the most reliable and efficient. Custom roms are less reliable, less efficient but customised.
