I've seen a couple roms with Google Now working. Does anyone have a guide on how to get this working with the rezound stock rom or other roms, I don't really like any of the roms offering Google now
Just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 read through the information and then select which version you would like to install. As long as you are rooted it should work.. I'm on viperez and it works perfectly with mikeyxdas6 which I think is #6 on the OP

My Amaze has never been rooted or s=off but I did flash the ICS leak.
My question is if my main want is all the blue in ICS would an AOSP ROM be the only way of achieving that?
As far as I have seen launchers never seem to have any affect on the look of the status icons/notification bar.
Thanks ahead of time for your helpful answers.

Excellent! Is something I can flash while remaining stock or can themes only be flashed on rooted devices?

This does requires a rooted device in order to flash it from recovery, but a stock ICS rom is fine. It works on an odexed rom as well since the files are not modifying anything odexed.

superv, you have been quite helpful. I am a bit scared of rooting my phone but I am going to try and take the plunge. I am the type of person that even though binary's "how to" guide might be considered very detailed to most people. For me I have no previous experience with many of the steps that are detailed. I have never "pushed an sdk" used an "all-in-one toolkit" and so on, so I would, out of paranoid instinct, be questioning everything until I got to do it successfully once myself.
So I've been working on my dna for about 4 days now trying to get a kit-kat rom that has working wifi on it. But as I've read I don't think one exist. Can anyone confirm this? I was on a NOS rom before that worked perfectly.
Also, been trying to update my baseband (to fix wifi?) but nothing seems to work. I keep getting a fail message when the tool kits try push the zip through.
Error messages and phone details are attached.
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestions you guys can offer.

To varying degrees, WiFi works on all KitKat ROMs, with the exception of CM11 (at least that's been my experience). I've tried all of them, the two that I've found to be the best are Slimkat and AOSPA. Both of those worked best on my DNA.
As far as updating your radio is concerned, couldn't you use an app like Flashify?
In the end, I actually use a 4.2.2 ROM because everything works - and the WiFi/LTE is very stable. I currently use ViperDNA 2.5.2. Having the latest and greatest ROM isn't all that awesome if some of it doesn't work or is unstable.

Flashify? Thats the first time I've seen that. I look into it, Thanks!
As for Roms, this whole mess started when I wanted to get the newer "Video Highlight" Feature that allows you to add your own music.
Im going to look into some other 4.2.2 ROMS and see what I can find. Im really digging Kit-Kat though. If anyone has a fave that they like please let me know.
Thanks for the help, Yehudah!

My preference is ViperDNA 2.5.2. It's a Sense5 4.2.2 ROM with the Aroma installer. So you can install or not install as much or as little of the entire package as you like. I happen to like light ROMs, so I remove almost everything and only install stuff I use.
Haven't used any sense based KitKat roms, but I've never had a WiFi issue on cm or aosp based kk roms.
I use the viper 3.0.1 not updating to the newest version yet I'm letting them work some more bugs out.

Are there no roms for the NK1 4.4.2 build for verizon that aren't AOSP? I have been looking and haven't found any. I really do NOT like Verizon's stock rom and was hoping to find a rom I could flash on this phone. I just don't want to flash something that will brick my store bought phone.
Thanks

There is the lollipop 5.0.1 unofficial cm12 rom. I haven't tried it out yet due to some problems with my safestrap . But you should definitely check it out! and if you have moment, please check out my post i really need help! thanks droidusr2014.

I have been told that CM won't work on retail versions of the phone. They will work on DEV Edition phones, but not ours. We need roms that are not AOSP roms. The only roms that work on retail versions of the phone run touchwiz.
Oh bummer at least I have root though. Anyway I guess I can use the hyperdrive or echo rom

I will have to check those roms out as well. I really don't like the stock rom at all. Have you tried either of those two roms to make sure they work?
Echoe's S5 rom is pretty nice. Has working Ultra Power Saving Mode feature going for it. I had problems getting MMS to work perfectly on it however. Likely user error, I admit. Tried Hyperdrive out as well; no complaints there (just switch to Echoe for a while to try out UPSM)
I personally really like Eclipse rom for the AOSP experience I was ultimately after. Completely Google-fied the rom myself by installing just about every Google app available on the market :laugh:
You cant go wrong with Empty Galaxy vDecember, Eclipse or Echoe.
I have Android 4.2 installed on my Galaxy S4. Since I rooted my phone as soon as I got it, I never got any OTA updates beyond that. But now I hear that Android 5.0 (Lollipop) is out for my device, and I want to install it. But all I can find are custom ROMs, and I don't want to install one of those as then I'll have to do a factory reset, which I just did a few weeks ago and I'd rather not have to do all the setup again.
Can someone please point me to where I can find the stock ROM update downloads? I'd like to keep root access after flashing, so let me know if there's anything special I have to do for that.
Thank you!
AFAIK, it's not out yet for our phones.

That's a shame; maybe I read wrong. That being the case, where can I find the latest one that is out?
I'd recommend this ROM, based on stock ROM with limited debloating and a few nice tweaks. There is a link in the first post to the completely stock ROM it is based on by Jkruse if you want that.

It does not have the hot spot toggle.

Actually Redflea's post is what I'm looking for. I said previously that seeing as Lollipop isn't available yet, I'd like the most recent one that is. Thanks though.

I just flashed that ROM and it seems to work perfectly! Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Does anyone know how to mark this as resolved? I'm new here.
Posting this here in case anyone else is looking for the same thing and finds this thread: Lollipop is out now, and someone has posted what I originally asked for here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ment/rom-i545oc1-5-0-1-100-stock-mdk-t3097902
I haven't tested it though; I'm waiting for one that's been modified in the same way as the one posted earlier in this thread. If anyone knows where I can find one, please post the link!
I just purchased an Xperia Z4 Tablet and have been researching the different options when rooting. It seems like the AndroPlusKernel is the most popular choice but I'm not entirely sure why. From what I can tell, that will allow me to use the stock ROM and as such it may be the most issue free?
Another popular option appears to be the CyanogenMod 13. I know that the kernel and ROM are different and I can choose either or both. But after reading through quite a number of posts, I'm not sure what this custom ROM offers that I can't get by just doing AndroPlus followed by some cleanup of unwanted bloat. And would anyone actually want to use both?
Can anybody else provide some insight and direction? I'm not looking to do anything crazy extravagant here, just root access to allow for ad-blocking as well as some additional functions I don't get with stock.
Thanks for helping me learn!

Exactly. AndroPlusKernel is the only custom kernel available for the stock ROM. The stock ROM is the only thing available that runs totally fine. CyanogenMod and derivatives have only just popped up and are still having issues. Even if there were no issues left, I have learnt throughout the years on different Android systems that (rooted) stock will probably run smoother and better battery-wise.

With Xposed you can add a lot of functionality that years ago you had to flash a custom ROM for. I don't miss anything in stock+root+xposed that I remember from the old days using AOSP-variants on my previous Android devices.

Sweet.... and thank you! You answered my question with everything I needed to know. I'll add xposed if I feel I need something extra, but for now, I'm going for the AndroPlusKernel. Time to go hunt for the instructions on doing this!
***Edit*** I think I found what I'm looking for here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z4-tablet/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3170689.
However, it shows the latest version is .34. But when I go to the download links, the latest I see is .31. Anybody else have this issue?

Actually, stock ROM is supposed to be used with no root and tweeks. For example, YouTube background module for YouTube works with the bug, it just stops to play videos after a while. Only reboot helps to fix it. And according to stability, Resurrection remix is the same stable as stock ROM. Moreover, custom ROM is much easy and faster to upgrade. No flash tool needed, with loss of data.
Battery life with custom ROM is good.
