Knew it will come from some geek.
Heard of custom kernel,scripts?
How about some basic idea about undervolting?

Sir!you can make the stock ROM fast,fluid and battery friendly after removing bloats and with a properly tweaked kernel.

Most ROMs you go gaga over at xda are just photoshopped slimmed down stock ROMs

It is the kernel that matters.

Go read up some more at xda and come back.
Will love to have an argument on this.

If not convinced pm some proper devs at xda to get a clear picture of how exactly android works(Leomar of revolution and the entire hyperdroid team are extremely knowledgable and helpful)

 

[red dragon]

^^ Not to start an argument, but two of the most important advantages of a custom ROM IS ...
1. Better Performance
2. Battery Life

They are the advantages of a good custom kernel sir!

yes. what red dragon said is true. kernel is what matters most. most roms are either based on stock rom with bloatwares removed & a few tweaks added, cyanogenmod based with own skin or complied from sources.

most users jump on the custom rom bandwagon cause they want a rom that is free from bloatwares, have settings to change most of the UI, small size/not skinned hence more free internal memory, etc. though there are apps in market that too can do the same for you. usually users are either lazy or want a tried & tested thing right at their fingertips. but 1 major reason users go for custom roms is cause

Cough.. *sarcasm*.. cough.

Totally agree.

Guys, I need an android app which can turn on the packet data for a specific period of time.
Pls suggest an app !!

(Actually i want my packet data to turn on automatically at 10 pm and auto turn off at morning 6 am , for downloading files using my free night net usage)

Is it safe to use an app like Root Uninstall or Root Uninstaller to uninstall the stock apps coming with the phone?

 

[red dragon]

No, it is not safe...just use Titanium to freeze the bloat.
If everything seems fine, can uninstall them.
This is particularly dangerous when you uninstall things like stock keyboard, stock dialer or launcher.

 

[coderunknown]

No, it is not safe...just use Titanium to freeze the bloat.

this feature is only available in paid version i guess.

one big issue with titanium backup is some apps (mainly system apps) can't be restored. you select restore, and titanium keeps on trying indefinitely. faced this problem many times. so stopped uninstalling.

 

[Skud]

So its better to keep the bundled apps untouched?

That is due to framework issues.

Yes, unless you know what you are doing.

 

[Skud]

No, I don't know. Only 2 weeks older in Android World, don't want to take risks unless those risks turn to chances.

 

[red dragon]

Which phone?

 

[Skud]

In siggy.

 

[coderunknown]

root, install custom recovery, take nandroid backup. now play freely. if mobile enters a boot loop or gets stuck at boot, restore the backup and you are good.

 

[Vyom]

If you are sure that the app is useless and you don't require it, it can be removed. But a nandroid backup is recommended before you do that in case any thing goes wrong.
Personally I use titanium backup to remove the system app.

 

[red dragon]

In siggy.
