ROM noob here, first post - Have several questions about Omni ROMs

Hello all.
I recently unlocked and rooted my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (the first time I've done this) and flashed this ROM to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532320
The ROM seemed quite glitchy, the quick toggles were not working correctly and eventually one day when I tried to turn on my phone, it got stuck in a boot loop. I then flashed back to stock using the Nexus Root Toolkit. I still wanted a custom ROM, so I then flashed this ROM to my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427087
This ROM is almost completely working, but I have some issues with it. For example, some of the quick toggles do not work correctly. My data toggle does not change when I short press it, the bars just stay orange (screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/vpOgpBe.png) Could someone tell me what this means? Is it supposed to be like this? I would assume that short pressing the data toggle is supposed to turn mobile data on or off, correct? The quick toggle settings are a standard feature across all Omni ROMs, right?
I also cannot get an internet connection over data now either. My MMS messages have also not been working since I installed the Fork My Life ROM.
Some other minor issues I have with the ROM is that when I short press the location toggle, it will sometimes close the quick settings window.
Should I post about these problems in the ROM's thread? Are any of the above normal happenstances in an Omni ROM? This is my first post on XDA so please cut me some slack.

Maybe someone can answer your other general Omni questions, but yes, if there's bugs in an unofficial modified OmniROM, those should probably go in that ROM's thread. Is the bug caused by Omni or the modifications? Since it's not stock Omni, we err on the side of caution and go with it's the modifications.

Help with Note 4G, dual-sim, Quad 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410, 2GB ram, 16GB emmc, Gucci

Hi folks,
I'm in Hong Kong right now and I picked up a Redmi Note (HW specs as per the subject line of this thread). I can't seem to find many resources on this specific model, Gucci. It came with MIUI 6, Kitkat 4.4.4, the kernel Build ID is KTU84P if that helps.
I initially flashed TWRP to it and essentially screwed up the recovery because the current Redmi Note TWRP builds don't work on this device. After a few hours of pulling my hair I finally found a CWM build that functions, although it's in Chinese... at least it works. So I've been able to root the device. Here is a link to the actual recovery that works http://en.miui.com/thread-94200-1-1.html
I was wondering if there is any hope to getting an English TWRP on this device, and also flashing Cyanogenmod 12 on to it -- or if the builds floating around will be incompatible... I don't want to end up with a brick.
I'm a pen-tester...I'd eventually love to put Kali Linux Nethunter on the device too, but I gather you need to build a kernel for that and I'm a noob as far as building kernels go.
Thanks for your help.

Only if there will be some phone with similar hardware and port ROM from it. I do not know if the kernel sources were released....they said so but did not seem to find it...

I think you have Philz recovery in English for Gucci now. It works for CT version.

I'm also having trouble install CWM or any third party recovery to dual-sim on latest official stock rom.
It shows this when trying to use fastboot:
fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.548s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.619s
And when doing flash recovery it just doesn't have any effect on reboot. it will keep rebooting to the same stock. Did OP have the same issue?
Edit: after using the thread linked by OP it worked for me also.

I'm searching for a custom rom for Redmi Gucci, which I'm now using, for a long time. I don't like MIUI rom, either developer or not. tried CM11, the LED doesn't work, tried CM12, either mobile data or SIM & usually both of them don't work. I didn't like Flyme OS or FIUI either, so back to CM11 without LED functioning. Seems like, every good ROM is for 'DIOR'. What's the problem with 'GUCCI'? I can't use a DIOR ROM for my GUCCI, so if there's a good, stable & working ROM for GUCCI, other than MIUI, then kindly let me know. My extensive search over google for the last 3 months have been completely unsuccessful. Plz, help me with the ROM solution. Thanx to all beforehand. :'(

Hi, try CM12 from there.

Yes, no need to say, I tried that too. But just as usual with Gucci CM 12.1, it does have the mobile data bug. It can connect successfully to Network, but the mobile data option is always greyed out & u can see that in the signal bar too...an exclamation mark. When u connect to Wi-Fi, that mark goes away & since I can't get wi-fi for 24x7, so mobile data is a must for me. That's why this ROM is of no use to me. I appreciate ur help though. Thanx...

[Q] Where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)?

Hi,
any Idea where to find AOSP/CM ROM for Xiaomi Note 4G dualSIM (aka GUCCI)? Many ROMs here are specifically saying they are for singleSIM (aka DIOR). And others dont specify at all. I tried asking in a few threads (in about three) and Im still awaiting response, but I still want to ask here .
Any ideas, please? I would like larger phone, larger battery and dualsim but I dislike MIUI ... Thanks for any response!
PS: I found this AOSP ROM which I would like to use but first I need to know if it is for dualSIM or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/aosp-rom-4-4-4-redmi-note-4g-t2984542

i need to for this rom. thx

Search for gucci
Hi,
i thing its not for this device. You need to search for (phone code name) gucci, not dior! I am looking for this right now. There is cwm, but in Chinese. I found englisth cwm, but i need to test it. CM12 rom is here from this forum.

The mobile data on that CM12 rom doesn't work.
I only have one SIM but I tested on both slots and was not able to get data to work at all.
The only CM rom that I have had any mileage with is the CM11 rom by Ghostly Doctor
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636001100
There's a bit of crapware in the rom but you can open the zip and delete the apk's before flashing.
The only other issue that I have encountered after ~2 weeks of use is that the mobile data periodically disconnects and reconnects, this would normally be a deal breaker but I just cannot hack imitation iOS on the official roms to go back.

A5_UL Eu single sim (and any compatible variants) Working ROM thread

Hi all.
I'm using CM12.1 5.1.1 from 20150429. Grarak unofficial ROM.
Any Cm12.1 based ROM newer than this has bugs making my phone unusable.
-long time detecting sim card, and long time getting a cellular connection once sim detected
-SMS not sending or receiving
-no calls incoming
Which basically make it a mini tablet ...
So far I've tried a pacman 5.0.3 ROM but found it sluggish.
Does anyone with this same model of phone have a workaround or a suggestion of a stable working 5.1 ROM?
Has anyone tried updating RUU with either success or failures to report?
I'm at a loss here and its a shame, this phone is good value for money and was working well up to this last cm12.1 build.
I really don't want to go back to 5.0, and I'm not sure any sense/stock ROM is better? Can you share positive experience on this matter?
Thanks to all devs who give their time to allow us to use and own our phones. I am grateful and in no way taking any of this for granted.
Without you we'd all have locked phones and no freedom.
And peace to all, above and beyond ALL the rest!

Stock with xposed & some mods like Nitro X spark works fine for me, as there is no good ROM for our phone .. the bugs makes the phone unusable with custom roms :/

And you don't have issues with disk space etc? Stock 5.0, 5.1 or 4.4 ?

What ROM to get? (cant find a one without problems) I9505

Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks

If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.

Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.

one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!
