So I have had my Tab now for about a month almost now and I'm still debating whether to root and flash it yet. Most of the ROMs here I don't see a huge improvement over stock, unless I can be convinced otherwise. So anyone with a custom ROM please explain why you flashed it and if you like it more than stock

I just got the Thunderbolt today, I've been running custom ROM's on all 4 android phones I've had, I see a lot of scares of bricking and major issues with certain ROM's/radio's. Which ROM's are safe to flash and if anyone has time please fill me in on what exactly is going on, but the best ROM is what I need to know. Not sure if GB is safe or not.. confused!
Since I don't have selling privileges on here yet, I'm going to try to sell my tab on craigslist. Since ICS isn't fully functional for the Galaxy Tab yet, I was wondering what Custom ROM is fully functional with the best performance upgrades? Maybe an OC ROM?
It is a 16GB 7510.

If you're gonna sell it, then I suggest flashing a stock rom with odin.

You have to assume the general population don't know a think about rooting or flashing. Don't put a custom ROM on it, flash it back to stock so if the user is clueless about rooting and flashing, he/she can get the OTA update for ICS when it arrives (lord knows when that is).
I agree, when you sell a device you want everything to be stock.
So, after many hours and errors, the only way I could get root on wifes 10.1 running 4.0.4, was to factory reset and flash Toldo's Jelly Bean rom v8. This rom is better than stock by far, so don't get me wrong here, but I really want to try some other roms. I worry that the way I had to get root will cause issues if I start flashing new roms. I would really like to put CromiX on it if it were possible, I run 4.6.6 on my TF700 and it is too sweet! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Hey guys, I have been out of the custom ROM, kernel, theme, etc routine for quite a while now. I don't plan on getting back into the "crack flashing" habit and I am not even sure I want to get back into custom ROMs...but I thought I would at least stop by here and see if anything "big" or new has happened that would be important to me.
I am thinking about trying Hyperdrive RLS15 as I always ran Hyperdrive ROMs because of the stock feel, but I am not sure. To be honest the stock ROM with ROOT has been just fine.
Now a days I just like a phone that will work forever without any bugs and it seems that the stock ROM does that just fine for me.
I AM ROOTED - MDK base
Anyways, are there any suggestions, stockish ROMS, baseband updates, etc that I should be aware of or try out?
Here is my current phone info:
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband: MDK
Build: Stock MDK
Note that I have purposely NEVER updated from MDK so I could use the unlocked bootloader. I have thought about upgrading since I don't do much of the custom ROM stuff anymore, but not sure if it would be worth losing MDK...
Anyone?
I would stay on mdk bootloader I wish mine was unlocked. Stock 4.4.2 is nice I think I seen one for mdk users. Is not a huge upgrade but I do like the white notifications icons and full screen album art on lock screen. I'm like you I just want root for titanium and tether then I freeze the bloat. I'm done with instable galaxy nexus crack flashing consumes your life.

Members are expected to do there own research as there is now more ways to brick a phone with all the security added to them.
ROM suggestions are meaningless as no one has your taste/setup/usage so you should invest the time to read the threads and be sure you know how to install the ROM properly
I ended up with a Verizon S4 through eBay (for a good price at least), and have managed to get on 5.0.1 and root it (via the PC version of Kingroot). Being that it's the OC1 baseband version, my options seem to be quite - no, very limited, when it comes to flashing non-touchwiz based ROMs. Is there any conceivable way I can get a custom recovery on here that will allow me to flash AOSP ROMs? I can wait, it doesn't have to be right now... I just need to know if my particular S4 is permanently crippled in this regard, or if it's just a matter of waiting until someone cracks it. Ideally I'd like to have an unofficial Android M ROM on here when the time comes. What are my options?
Also, I just came from the development sub forum (I can't comment there yet) and saw a new 5.1.1 ROM (Gamer Rom?) that claims to work for the Verizon S4. I'm skeptical that it wouldn't actually brick my device so I wanted to check of anyone else here has found a way to flash it. As far as I know, we can't even flash CWM so I just wanted to double check of I was missing anything obvious. Cheers
