I switched from Apple to Android not long ago and I know how daunting it can be when the geek modus kicks in and you don't know where to start.
So I thought I start a thread where people can show their setups. Some people prefer performance, some battery life.
I don't care about either really, I just like to play with different stuff
Anyway. MY favorite ROM / Kernel combo coming up.
First, as you know you need to unlock / root your device.
Favorite tool of choice: Nexus Root Toolkit.
Easy as pie. Click click, done.
Favorite ROM: CM10.1 Fusion 5.50.
I usually prefer the ParanoidAndroid one but up to the current latest it seems to be too unstable as a daily driver. I had crashes etc. So I decided to give CM10.1 Fusion a test drive and love it. Especially since it now comes also with the split settings menu known from the PA.
Favorite Kernel: Faux Kernel
Thanks n4zty for the suggestion.
Only started looking into kernel when I understood the implications and differences. To be honest, I don't feel myself a difference in performance of different kernels just yet. Right now I am going by benchmarks only but I know I got the oomph if and when needed.
This one performed the best (again, based on numbers only) using the performance governor.
So here some screens and then I am done. I hope more jump in with combos and why they are using them
Oh and while I am at it. Favorite theme is the CM10 Afterburner, favorite icons the Phoney Icons, favorite launcher is Nova Prime and for my desktop I am using UCCW and icons / ideas from Alex T..
Screens below if interested.
