Hi guys.. I know i'm a little offbeat here.. But can one of you explain or link me to any article which explains the basic of ROM, why change it, what is the use, and stuff.. I'm looking at overclocking my LG Optimus One but have no idea how to do it. Some heads up would be great!!
Thanks
A rom is the system of your device. You may change it if you want a new UI, more speed, customizations, more memory, etc. You can overclock your device by rooting and flashing a custom rom (the kernel allows you to overclock/undervolt). See here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/. For rooting your device and installing a custom rom, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942248. After you do this, make a backup and flash a rom of your choice (for your device).

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 need to fix a friend's phone, could you suggest me wich rom and kernel to use? I have no idea.
Also is there any hope that this phone will see android 4 with cyanogen? Will the gpu support it'
I plan to use this guide I made time ago

Edit I think I found some nice suggestions in this thread about custom roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366300
I have just rooted my phone & am now interested in installing a custom ROM.
I have a Neken N6 smartphone
I only know needroms.com to look for roms & it seems the choice for my phone is limited., MIUI V5 being the only ROM I think. Is there another place I can look for ROMS that may give me a bigger selection? I want to try out ROMS like Cmod & Paranoid Android, is this possible?
First of all, I have a few years experience of ROM, kernel flashing, rooting, etc. to differrent devices. I began interested in the developing itself, so I looked for guides. Found some very useful guides, but I feel I'm missing something.
I built my first ROM from source today for my G2, which is a CM11 ROM. My question is: Is it possible to combine the CM11 features and the stock LG ROM's features? I mean the stock LG applications like Quick Remote,LG Backup, and some UI elements for example. Is it possible? What would be better/easier, to add the LG features to CM ROM, or add the CM features to LG's ROM? If I'm asking stupid question sorry, but I'm newbie.
Hi, guys!
First, I love the S6 edge. Beautiful, nice design and features... But I´m having issues with the multitasking, battery and general speed. I´m currently in 5.1.1 STOCK and I´m thinking in a change. So, as far as I know there are 2 options; change the ROM or else change the Kernel.
The ROM I found the best is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519/page111
And the Kernel is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/orig-development/tw-simplkernel-t3091094
So, my question is if I should just change the Kernel or I should go for the whole ROM. I am not really sure if changing the kernel will make things faster and with better battery life...
Can you help me with this? I would also need ROOT access, s o maybe the ROM is a good option as the Kernel doesn´t have ROOT as far as I know.
Thanks, guys! I really appreciate your support!
Well most ROMs here are using Stock kernel, so i suggest u flash a ROM of ur choice, the ROM makers do some tweaking that surely make the phone feel snappier.
Good Luck.
First of all, you should read the forum rules. This doesn't belong into Android Development.
