Hi guys,
I'm sorry cause asking this, especially cause this question has been asked manytimes and I have read several subjects too, but I didn't strict answer I'm looking for.
I recently bought nexus 9 (WiFi only model) 16gigs,
I unlocked bootloader, I rooted the device and now I want to debloat it.
I'm in dilema weither I should just have it rooted and debloated on 7.1.1. android, or should I use some of the custom roms around.
I'm aiming to use tablet mainly for gaming. I have servral games I'd like to play listed:
Marvel Future Fight
DC Legends
Star Wars Galaxy Heroes
Star Wars Force arena
and few others but i take it that if those can run fine, all others would too.
Also can someone point me to a safelist of application that can be removed if answer to first question is to just leave it rooted and debloat.
Thank you a lot for help.
Cheers.

For the best performance, install a custom ROM. As for debloat, ... It's a Nexus, what bloat?
But if you want minimal, I would say flash slimrom and the smallest gapps package that fits your needs. Or go gapps free and use micro g instead.
Performance on stock is pretty bad (really bad), but a custom ROM will fix it for the n9. When I say bad on stock, I mean opening more than 1 tab in chrome, it has to reload the page every time switching between the two. Same with having a couple apps open.
Fortunately, most of the ROMs out there take care of all that.

I'm on latest Android 6 stock, unencrypted and Fire Ice kernel. its running fine and if use the chrome that comes with the stock and don't update it, it will run fine.
How would someone find official roms? I used pure nexus rom thinking that is official but i guess i was wrong. I not to big on roms knowing. They all looks the same to me I just care to be able to uninstall builtin apps i don't use and that everything works fine.
This one i use now had a problem common with nexus 9, white blocks and anoying skrechy sound, but i read somehwere it is fixed by unhoking battery, cleaning pins and putting it back together. I tried it and I didn't have problems since then. I drained battery to 2% no problem, before it was impossible. I have no idea was it ROM issue or what.

That's a common hardware issue for n9, not a ROM issue.

But it's safe to say that it's fixed now. Everyone was talkin about disconnecting battery, and clean a bit and connecting again.
it seems such a easy troll solution to this "very anoying and hard problem that even HTC didn't solve", and i did it and it really did the job (knock on a wood ). I've been draining battery to the end for 3 days now, nothing ever like that happend ever again. before it wasn't even a day when i didn't experienced that problem.

Good to hear. That usually is the fix for that.
Please, just to confirm, is this "image-volantis-n9f27l" official ROM or it's custom ROM?
I also use this bootloader : "bootloader-flounder-3.50.0.0143" since other ones didn't work for me.
I was with support trying to solve issue of Device restarting every time I install new app or update app, and while trying to clear cache partition, it gone to my device not wanting to boot. so i had to factory reset, and it still won't start android in full. so i have to reflash ROM. I guess.
I'm kinda lost now cause i don't know what to do.
As said i just want for my device to be rooted so i can delete all apps i don't need and change launcher (deleting existing one - well i don't know if it's smart or not. i figure why having two launcers when i will use only one).
And i want to play games and use apps without it failing on me all the time.
BIG UPDATE, POSSIBLE FINAL BUILD!!!
Code:
I shouldn't have to say it, but when you hit/swipe the install button,
everythings on you. This was made for a J727perx/POPLTESPR, using a boost
mobile phone for testing. If your phone isn't from the suppliers listed in this
post, or you're not using something labeled perx, or are unfamiliar with the
term popltespr, don't try to use it. I won't be crying for anyone. That said, this
should be about as stable a ROM as you get when dealing with ROMs.
The new
J727PVPU3ARC2_MULTI_CERT_LIBERATE_X7s
New Video demonstration below
I wasn't able to make the YouTube link embed, but I hid the video like a good dude.
The video is of the actual zip that I uploaded for the download, you will start with a blue/purpleish light theme, changeable/disable in the theme center. No need to worry, but I always keep an backup of my EFS on the card, just in case.
Zero bloat, fully intact/tweaked system, with no knox.
If you discover some earth shattering problem, let me know, if not, I don't have anymore plans on taking this further. I'm flashing my personal build as of this post, if you want anything faster...I don't even know where to point you. With the right launcher(see my video of my personal build), and system setup, its scary fast.
Enjoy

Multi_Cert
This ROM should be ready for multiple service providers. It covers Sprint, Boost Mobil, and Virgin Mobil customers, and has built in boot animations for all 3 stock to prove it, along with vendor options. This is what I made the original ROMs with, ARA1 and ARC2. Until I recently reset my PC, and got a bunk Boost AP. All should be as good as everything was in the past builds, before the .3/.4 gen.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Love and Peace, and all that junk.
If you want to make use of my project, then read my sig, I got you covered.
Just downloaded ty bro. I'll let you know how it works out. Heading home now.
Nice, hope you enjoy, I'm posting one more, and have a 4 that goes further that I could send you. All features are working, service should be stable down to the 4th build...eh, I'll post them both.

We have a gathering of our phones most active members here, lol. Glad you liked it, I was super proud of how these came out.
Updates in the OP. Not that it's that far away from this post.
Man it's phenominal. Flashed this morning, and it's kicking ass and taking names. I can really tell a difference on internet too. Thanks man.
Pc isn't picking up my phone with usb. Do you know what would be the cause? I know adb tether wasn't working already but I need to connect my phone so I can transfer music, pictures ect. I don't have micro/sd slot in pc or I'd just do that.
Also Xposed says it's incompatible and won't let me install. Says it's not compatible with processor ect. This one isn't a deal breaker, just wondering if something might be corrupt on my end somehow..
Turn off USB debugging when you want to use the usb with another device, should link instantly when you turn it off, and break when on. Not that it should, but does lol. I'm going to try something differen't with the xposed, if I make it work, I'll do my planned update with it fixed.
Was going to post an update with my android boot animation, and game over shutdown....could mix a few others, but didn't know if you guys were interested.
Peter had xposed working on our old firmware, so I had it working of course. On the new frimware, for whatever reason, it really hates anything starting with the letter X, I've been on this all day. My solution would be to completely pull xposed, keep the build quality/speed up, and offer custom qmp boot images out of the box. Let me know what you think, or, if you nail xposed, let know about that. I currently have the Android ULHD boot animation, swirling dots into flashing android, and pacman gameover shutdown on mine. I have a bit of a collection I could share, or you can find them on the forms I'm sure, but most don't flash right. Mine work lol. Let me know what you would like.
Probably have to pull xposed from the project, but I can at least add some flare to the roms. I was adding boot animations, and a built in EQ presets built for small speakers. Currently in testing.
Bootanimations are always nice
How about?

I could preinstall them, or I might be able to provide animations, and shutdown as seperate flashables, and let you guys do your own? I've been preping all of them for a go, just want to take a look at what I have. I don't have them in zips yet, but I don't thing it'll be too hard. So far I have Android_L_UHD(A/S), Amiga (A/S), Badman (S), PacMan game over(S), NexusBeam(A/S), Matrix(A/S), SamDisco(A), and a few others. There's a post on the forms with them, but they don't work on our phone in there current format.
I might find some videos, or make a little montage, or just get zips together.
In the meantime, I need to update 2.2, at the very least, and my op.
Looks like someone made a video on the thread, and also has the link there. If you flash them, it only affects the shundown, if anything.
UPDATE
Despite my best efforts, xposed did not work out. I pulled it, added more speed(everywhere), and a musicplayer/system FX EQ that work together, but don't like the phone speaker. It's a combination chosen after much testing, and with a decent pair of headphones, makes a very noticeable difference from preset, to bass, reverb, and virtualization. Like most additions, totally free, no adds, and worth adding.
2.2 is the only update, the rest will happen over the next few days, and all will be getting custom boot animations, along with the other mentioned changes.

Ok use this apk an the ZIP you are using an it will work !!!!!
https://mega.nz/#!TEcxmAgQ!bCkqQBVxahScyk_jdWDirL9eRPOmBna787td3pOQClc
On the install of you Rom the framework is in it is the apk you are using !!!
all download links down for full updating. I'll post when they're back. if it's not a link for X#.3, it wont work. really good stuff coming.
All ROMs have new working boot/shutdown animations, new speed tweaks for almost everything, tested music player/system EQ(not working with system speaker, great with headphones), and, of course thank you peter couniaz for informing me of the importance of the installer, and linking it.
2.3 is up, the rest are syncing, and will be up in the morning, when I get up again.
All ROMs updated to the latest versions. Idon't believe I have anything more for quality or speed, everything is close to perfect while keeping the ROM technically stock. Lineage is still faster, but not by much, for our phone at least, and this looks so much better. Anyway, everyone enjoy the updated ROM, let me know what you think, and if you find any problems.

I will check it out tonight, ty for your hard work. You and Peter are awesome for working on the J7Perx. Much appreciated
Finally a dev who knows his works?good work bruh...will try it today
I flashed the X2.3 rom. Nice work, but there are a couple problems. The first thing I noticed was that the Xposed framework was installed during rom installation. The app is removed, but the framework is still installed. The next problem that I ran into was that a secured lockscreen takes a really long time to unlock (approximately 10 seconds).

I'm uploading 2.3 with the proper installer, I don't know how 2.3 was the only one to not get it. All others are fine, probably because 2.3 was the first updated. I'm working on figuring out the lock screen issue. I've checked so much that I'm running out of ideas. I'll update the download in the op with the new link once it's synced. Which will be like 10 minutes lol. Sorry about the lock screen, it permeates through to my final build it seems.

I just installed the latest version of 2.3. This one had the framework and the installer. However I have no data because it is recognizing it as a Sprint device instead of a virgin mobile device.
now that's interesting. I'm going to make another 2.3, in like 30ish minutes, and pm you a link to see if its fixed, sorry. The rom backs up efs at least. Brb
There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.
cause it has apps that wants payments as bloatware

Tho i found where the issue was, i was using LKT a magisk module to improve the battery i guess it's not compatible with it's kernel.
Found i bug u can't share a picture from the gallery or an mp3 file from mixplorer or any file manager to the messenger app it's the only rom with this bug
For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Tottally agree! It used to be a copy of miuipro. And now is a king of miui eu with YouTube Vanved and micro g embebbed.
Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.
Lol I'm not suggesting anyone give him any money. I just liked the ROM and it worked great when most of the ROMs have some sort of issues that irritated me. Now I'm running ColtOS.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

What is this, and why are you posting it here?
I've used this ROM for a while but switched to MSM Extended. I had some issues with RevOS after the OTA update and missed some configurability.
Hi, I'm interested in picking up a BC62 but are any of the currently available ROMs stable enough for daily driving?
I'm still living in the last decade and prefer the fully custom experience, but I suppose just getting root and bootloader unlock may be sufficient nowadays...
Apologies if this question is an easy one or frequently asked, I couldn't find much.
as you see, there is no supported custom roms for this device. You can try GSI roms.
unfortunately price too high and community not enough for devs
Well technically there's one custom ROM...but idk if it's still gonna be supported...i may try to build some now that the guides are up tho
I see there are a few abandoned ones under development but there's little talk about living with them. Guess nobody really does, ha.
Circumstances are just pushing me to switch carriers (and therefore phones) and it's hard to part with the custom ROM life. At least Sony OEM software is decent and root/unlock is actually supported.
I look forward your future projects, @Ainz_Ooal_Gown !

i just tried GSI a12 rom and camera didn`t work, ambient display didn`t work, autobrightness didn`t work. Back to stock
I used the Lineage ROM that's here ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-unofficial-lineageos-18-1-for-xperia-1-iii.4431701 ) for a few months. Unfortunately it comes with an outdated VideoPro app that can't be updated due to missing libraries (Theoretically you can if you mod a newer APK, but I'm not very experienced in coding and wasn't able to make it work). Also this meant Sony-specific apps like 3D creator, etc... won't install or update without modding them.
The only other problem I noticed was 5G NSA didn't work, just LTE with carrier aggregation at best. This wasn't a big problem personally since 5G NSA isn't reaaaallly an improvement all else being equal.
There were a couple other bugs / differences. The assistant button wouldn't function even with the Xperia+ app, and using the camera button to open the camera app behaved differently in a way that I didn't like. Probably a couple smaller things I'm forgetting about that I just lived with without issue.
Not being able to update or install Sony-specific apps was the deal breaker eventually. If I knew how to mod APK's to install/update them, I'd still be on that ROM today. It was actually really good. My battery life was noticeably better (probably mostly due to lack of 5G), I had no stability issues, the ROM was light and fast and I got all the customization that comes with Lineage out of the box.
i get it why there arent custom roms. what i dont get why arent any debloated stock rom either. sony does not have bloatware ?

Because there's no value in doing this.
Just get a root uninstaller and yeet the bloat.
As someone who tried a lot of roms, just don't. They all have serious demerits that are just not worth it.
Honestly it's quite jarring coming from Xiaomi/Samsung where custom roms are extensive are necessary or a worthwhile alternative respectively. I hoped we wouldn't need the size of community for this phone as everything is supposedly open source (or provided), but experience tells us otherwise. The phone is just too expensive -> phone doesn't go to eastern (read: eastern-europe and SE asia) developers and development just never takes off.

Hi all,
I'm on an SM-A105FN/DS running one of those damn exynos chips. I got the thing in 2019, but it was so slow and near impossible to use as a result I gave up and moved back to my S6 Edge.
I broke it irreparably a month ago and have been using this since.
It sucks so bad. I literally could only have tetris and telegram open and this wiill take minutes to open anything else. I've done the classic steps of clearing memory, using device care, even developing animation in system settings to not much avail. It's always gonna be a slow ohone but it needs to at least crawl. I realised this thing never actually hears up when it goes so slow as though it was throttling, leaving me to think that maybe this was severely hardware limited or something. But I'm clearly no expert - I feel like I'm talking like a redneck. I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of overclocking this now since samsung no longer updates the firmware, and I don't really know any roms i like as much as I do oneui. So where would one begin?
There are kernels and custom roms available here. Eureka kernel is still receiving updates, but there’s at least physwizz kernel as well that works with oneui.
