I have seen Moto Z has many custom Roms but to be in short what is the best Rom for Performance.Playing Games and running multiple tasks is my priority. Battrey (and Heating) doesn't concern me . I will not be changing the Roms often. Among all the stuffs plzz point of the right stuff i want. Also Mine board is Sheridan (not griffin) but i think The same rom may work.
Thanks

Okay i m new to android (my P500's a week old , have been using linux for ages though ) and i gotta ask is there really any performance boost and increased battery (backup time) with the REMIX roms like prime megatron(rocks by the way) ..I m not considering overclocking so please dont mention it...Just Running it on stock speeds also can beta kernels effect positively on performance ???
OR can a kernel be optimised for making the battery hold charge long before getting charged??? ALL IDEAS r welcome
Tweaked ROMs can definetely increase battery life and performance.
I'll explain only one thing. If a ROM is tweaked to keep more apps in RAM instead of killing them you get 2 things:
1. Apps launches almost instantly.
2. Better battery life because the CPU doesn't have to reload the app again.
I hope you understood.
You can off course use SetCPU (Utility for controlling the clock speed of the proccessor and the kernel CPU governor) with the stock ROM by installing the OC kernel (Which increaces my performance so much that I need to underclock). If you want to increase the default heap size, I suggest flashing AmberHome or Light. Also, the stock ROM is odexed and can't accept custom themes (Which are created by modifying the framework-apk.apk).
Void is the best choise if you want a Gingerbread-like interface and many built-in apps.
Devoid is somewhat similar to the Light ROM, but hardware acceleration is disabled by default, so flash Devoid if you want long battery life.
Prime and Megatron are discounted...
There is another ROM, OptimusXrom, but I haven't tested it yet.
Finally, if you want a true Gingerbread Android, install the experimental CyanogenMod 7. Most drivers are not present, so I recommend flashing it only if you want to help develop it.
Hey themes are in themes for Launcher(Adw or LAuncher PRo???? ) HOw can i customise the rest of the os Say change the color of the notification bar ??? are there any such themes available ??? Are u talking about metamorph??? Also how can i contribute to porting CM7 to P500 i m well versed with C,C++, shell scripting etc..
Like I said in the previous post, you need to modify framework-res.apk from /system/framework/. Be caution, always do a NANDroid backup before applying your theme.
About CM7 - you need to download the P500 source from LG's web site and compile the drivers to fit the Linux 2.6.35 kernel. It is not a bad idea to compile the kernel too .
i dint find cm7 for optimus one
Hi,
Can someone make clear to me as a noobie what are the differences between "cores" of the ROMs?
I see there are most favourite ones like "XWLP9" and "AOKP" - what are the differences between them? I see AOKP has more updates from kernel and maybe some other things in addons? Besides XWLP9 seems to me more stable but I only observe rom peoples comments and replys so can someone tell me which ROM core I should be focused on when choosing ROM? Some advices, experiences what you have with them - ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES maybe or something ... I see there are roms like these two from what I want to choose:

Google is your friend.
XWLP9 is the latest stock/official ROM version from Samsung for the SGS2 (GT-I9100).
So, these kind of ROMs are based on Samsung stock ROMs ... with some customizations (e.g. rooted, some removed bloatware, some custom themes/mods, etc.).
The other kind of custom ROMs have AOSP (Android open source project) or ASKP (Android open kang project).
So, they are either on pure Google Android OS or Linux. Usually there is a team of developers who share their parts/versions in binaries and as source code.
The kernel is kind of "core" of the firmware.
Every ROM contains its own kernel, as this is a basic part of the firmware ... and the phone can't work without it.
You can also flash other (custom) kernels on a ROM.
But not every kernel is compatible with every ROM.
OK thank you I read about these two a lot i needed some experienced opinion and clearing it up for me.
What I basically needed was opinions about these two versions from experienced users. If non oficial and trully open made ROM is better and in what ways or is it better to stay on oficial ones etc. This is what i wanted most from this thread ...
OK, so here's the thing... I'm kind of new in the Android acknowledgement, so I hope that here will be the place where I will get my answers. So here's what I know...
At first I didn't know that Android was Java-based, using a modified Linux kernel which we all know it's C-based (entirely). After a while, I found that there were different firmwares (ROMs) from the original ones, called Stock ones and also different kernels. After reading lots of info about how things actually are, I've decided to root my stock and then I moved to a custom MIUI for my SGSII with a JB implementation. At first it was great, but I had some issues which left me disappointed. Then I moved on to the official MIUI (China - English one). Things got better after I got used to it. The major bugs disappeared, only small ones left and a few crashes, but in time most of them got fixed. Later it crossed my mind, "Why are there so many different kernels and which is the best one for my phone or ROM to be precise?" Well this is where I need your help. I've read some topics that siyah kernel is probably the best kernel, which fits the MIUI rom. The pointing of concrete kernels isn't the kind of answer I was actually searching for. To be honest, I need answers to questions like:
How many kernels are there ?
Which ones are safe ? (I've read that there are badly written ones, so yeah, it needs to be asked)
Statistically, which is the best kernel and is it for the MIUI rom ?
How can I tell that it's suitable for the MIUI rom ? (Since I've read that not all are)
What are the risks of changing the kernel?
How can you test the kernel's behaviour, an app which makes statistics in time or some other methods ?
Believe me, as annoying this topic might seem, lots of us (the newbie users) are burning up the google servers, just to find these answers. I'm really hoping for a reply spam with answers (if possible , spare the trolling ones). Thanks for reading my annoying topic, anyway
Since most of the source is available, basically anyone can build their own kernel at home, so it is hard to tell how many kernels are there.
what isn`t available as open source are most of the OEM-specific drivers. Samsung, for one, doesn`t make most of the drivers' source publicly available, so kernel developers have to make a binary kernel around the binary drivers and literally pray their work well together.
Siyah is safe, but I prefer the stock kernel (I like the stock ROM... go figure). The stock kernel is the only one that is sure to work properly with all the hardware in the phone, because it is the only built from sources for the drivers as well (read my previous paragraph).
Which ones are safe (other than stock and Siyah): you gotta try them for yourself, read other users' remarks and feedbacks, and so on.
Risks:
Very low. As long as the bootloader is good, if the kernel totally malfunctions, just reboot in download mode and flash something else.
Some app may work very well in one kernel and bomb in another. It may crash in some kernels. It is very empyrical.
The problem is that custom kernels don't undergo the same type of quality testing as stock kernels. Developers have very limited resources to do that, and some developers are more interested in having a short time-to-market than a quality product (well, many large corporations act like that as well). At the end of the day we - power users - are the beta testing and quality assurance teams for the kernel developers.
Hey guys,
I know there are many best ROM threads out there as well as many flavors suitable for all needs. Personally, I just don't have the time test everything until I find the perfect ROM.. So I hope you guys can help me choose a good one considering the list below..
I'm currently using CM11 and although it's a great lightweight rom I miss many basic Samsung stock functions (swipe to call, palm to mute, etc..). I also know some apps should solve this but IMO they don't..
So, I'm looking for a Samsung based rom that's:
- easily installed by pc or cwm recovery
- stable and preferably bug/freeze fix free with everything working
- lightweight and widely supported
- although not essential, preferably with nightlies updates
- either s5 or mini s5 based
- android 4.4.2 or higher
And I think that's it. Thanks in advance.
There are not many 4.4 tw roms to try. Best bet would be to read the threads and see what the user's think. See what the problems are ect ect
Hi,
I do understand this question has been asked time and again but I require help in finding a stable rom. This is for my Dad's phone so it should meet most of the criteria I've mentioned below :
1) A 5.0+ rom (4.4.4 is good but no Material Design)
2) I don't require a rom with all the bells and whistle's, just something neat and simple.
3) A decent SoT but the battery standby should be good.
4) It should be something recent (and by that I mean not a 2 years old rom, somewhere around the last year line).
5) Everything in the rom should work as it should, i.e. , no broken features, no fc's etc.
I know I may be asking for a near perfect rom but anything close to the lines of above criteria should do.
I'm sorry if you came across this as a bit rude.
Thanks in advance.
Try cm12.1 snapshot :https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995310326
OR latest cm13 nightly :https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=condor
OR
Try RR lollipop (can't find the link though)
Try Zephyr OS :http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/rom-zephyr-os-sabermodtc15th-apr-t3359325
Use cardinal rom for best performance and battery backup.. This rom is super clean and does not have any unwanted apps.
