Custom Rom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Custom ROMs are a matter of taste.
The only decisive factor is whether a Custom Rom exists for the phone or not.

[Q] What is the difference between various ROM's?

I keep on hearing about Stock ROM, Custom ROM and Official ROM's. What is the difference? Why there are so many ROM's for the same phone?

its all about the variety and customization. different people have different taste.
stock/official == released by samsung via kies or updates.
custom === modded stock roms with different themes/tweaks/apps
CM roms are based on offical android, the type you find on Google Android handest, and are optimised for performance with a shed load of features.
Samsung roms are based on stock, often with bloatware removed and optimised for performance, like packing new kernels, deodexing, zipaligning, busybox not to mention root. They will also have additional functionality over stock samsung in the form of mods.
Try them out, you'll notice the biggest difference with Cyanogenmod roms compared to stock samsung based roms.
Wouldn't be surprised if this thread is closed, but hope that helps nonetheless
DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
Point to note both custom roms and root void warranty and would need removing before returning to a service centre if needs be .

You know you are rooted when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone.
You know you are on a custom rom when you spend more time on XDA asking variouse questions than spending time with your family
You know you are on a shipped stock rom of your phone when you eat on time sleep on time keep tablets away...
Just joking

H840 - Will there ever be any ROM?

You can unlock bootloader, there is a TWRP but will there be any custom ROMs? Maybe there are and i'm just blind? :c

did you find any custom roms?
I would like to know if there is any developer that we can contact and ask him if there is any possibility for a custom rom
No. For whatever reason development for this phone is almost non existent. Even the G4 looks better by compassion and that isn't amazing in terms of ROMS either. How may ROM are currently in development for the G5? 3? 4?

Couple of questions (Noobie Alert Warning)

Hello, I am super new to xda and to phone rooting. I've recently got a Xiamoni Redmi Note 4 and I really want to root it to unlock the FULL potential of my phone. I'll keep the rest of this thread short by asking:
1. Does MIUI Version matter? I am currently on Global 8.5 l Stable 8.5.4.0 (MCFMIED) Android Version 7.0 NRD90M I am also on a snapdragon
2. Once I unlock my bootloader, is the bootloader unlocked for good?
3. Where can I find a systemless root guide for my phone? (FOR SNAPDRAGON)
4. What are custom roms exactly? What would you suggest?
1) IDK if MIUI version seriously matters but I'd highly recommend to update it to the latest stable.
2) Bootloader is locked for the security of phones, for common users. For further read, see this.
3) Search for "Magisk". You'll VERY easily find the guide and everything you need.
4) Custom ROM is technically an OS. Very usually they're just different flavors of Android. When you flash a custom rom in your phone you're basically changing the phone's OS. You usually get the benefit of getting a smoother, clutter-free phone with a custom rom, well obviously there're risks which you know (or can google).

Nope. I can't tell anything beside these facts. Nice reply. Only that I'd suggest avoiding miui roms and once rooted, flashing of a pure, aosp based Rom.

Redmi note 4x (SD) Help Guide for flashing from stock MIUI to custom pie rom?

Hi everyone, I want to use a Pie based ROM. Now I am using stock MIUI 9.6 Global bootloader unlocked. What would be the best procedure to flash a pie based ROM? And can I come back to MIUI if I want? What am I going to sacrifice if I flash treble ROM? I know It's a lot of questions but please try to answer it. Thanks in advance ?

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's going to be easy. Install TWRP or OrangeFox Recovery. You will get the instructions in the respective pages of XDA. Then, take a complete backup of all partitions using TWRP/OrangeFox, back up the apps using Titanium Backup, and then get a ROM of your liking, and install it.
You are not going to sacrifice anything if you flash a treble ROM. You can revert to MIUI 10 at any point.
But do keep in mind that Android Pie ROMs are quite new and might have a bug or two.
Unlock Bootloader first
Flash twrp
Flash cusrom
Flash GApps
Flash Magisk (if you want to root)
Reboot

The posts above me has mentioned the method to flash custom treble ROM. In case you find any difficulty in flashing it, you can PM me. The procedure they mentioned are simple enough and the steps are user friendly. Take a recovery backup once you flash your custom ROM. You can come back to MIUI anytime you want.
I had flashed ROMs for various versions including Treble ROMs. In regards to selection of treble roms, you find whichever customisation features and options you like and select them.
I find MIUI to be stable enough for daily use. In case you are a flashaholic like me then you can try all the custom ROMs and check which is stable enough for your use.
I faced a major difficulty of signal instability with custom ROMs. Fyi I am in India and the network is JIO. I found too many blank spots and lesser signal quality. Apart from that the ROMs are fluid and fast enough.

Question Custom ROM or alternative Rom

Hello Everyone
This is my first question so if I make any mistake please tell me and I will correct them.
I love my Oppo Find N, is the best I have ever had and it fit my life style perfectly. However I'm not happy with the software in general.
My questions are
- do you know any custom ROM for this phone ? If not Do you think that if I flash a Z fold 4 ROM on it would it work ?
thank you
The rom of other device will never work

Do you know any custom ROM for the find N?
At this moment there is no custom ROM because no one was able to root the device nor unlock the bootloader. Without root and bootloader unlocked, it's impossible to have a custom ROM.
