[ROM][OFFICIAL][6.0.1][LAYERS] Minimal OS f… | Nexus 6 looks like a decent minimal android for the N6. I like the Pure Nexus rom personally, and looks 100% stock. (but has many features available) [ROM][6.0.1_r3][N6]★ Pure Nexus Projec… | Nexus 6 Just because a rom comes with a lot of features doesn't mean you have to use them.

CM and Chroma look a lot like the stock ROM but with more features. Stock 6.0 is great but I prefer CM for the night mode and dark themes.

Currently I running on the Lite Nova 6.0.1
I been told that it like the stock rom.

How is it compare to the CM , Minimal , Pure ?
Remember CM from my G3..it was a solid rom.

If you want to remain stock but enjoy the benefits from being rooted, you could look at just changing the kernel. I haven't done that in a while, but at the time Franco kernel used to greatly enhance my battery.

Cataclysm... Comes in a full ROM, but also a mod you flash over stock. It adds a few neat features without fussing with the stock software much.

There are a few other stock based ROMs... They usually are very specific in the description whether they are based on the stock ROM out built from AOSP source

Cyanogenmod (Chroma as well I think) is developed from the AOSP main branch, which is definitely not stock.

I want ask you all something:
I got this LS990 from a family in the u.s (I dont live there) carrier unlocled with right to left languags inside.
Got it with Stock rom unrooted and BL locked.
What is the chance that when I return to stock it will lose the right to left languags?

I read about 'Cataclysm' -- definitely sounds like a stock.
Also 'Pure Nexus' close to that.

Thank you!

Oh, Cataclysm is most certainly based on the stock Nexus 6P. Now, the term can have two different meanings... one good, one misleading.

The 'good' meaning. A lot of ROMs will say 'based off stock ROM'. What that means is that the dev actually develops off the software that was released with the phone. That could be anything from the Nexus software to Touchwiz on a Samsung Galaxy S6, or Sense for HTC phones, etc. So the phone will still retain a lot of the look and feel of the untouched phone.... just with some tweaks, customizations or tools.

The other meaning is a ROM that is based on 'stock Android'. Now, what that means, typically, is that the ROM was developed from the Android Open Source Project source code. That's the base source code that ALL Android phones are based on.... some, like Samsung, modify the source a lot, others, like Google's Nexus and the Moto line, tread lightly on the source and just add a few bits here and there, others, like Cyanogenmod, try to pass itself off as a whole new operating system. But it saying your phone runs 'stock Android' just means that the base code hasn't been screwed with all that much.

Things get a little confusing with the Nexus line.... Nexus phones are not 'stock Android'. Technically speaking, no phone runs stock Android because you can't run a phone with stock Android. You need device specific drivers, kernel sources, etc... But a Nexus, or a Moto X, or the AOSP based custom ROMs, they will all have a very similar look and feel as they are all very close to the released AOSP Android source as possible.

As far as what ROMs use what method... they usually call it out pretty clear. If they say AOSP or CM (CyanogenMod), then the ROM is based on the AOSP code.... CyanogenMod is AOSP, just AOSP with a lot of the stuff you need to get it to run on your particular phone already merged into the code base.

Now, as for your LS990, I am not all that sure since I don't really deal with phones other than US English locales. I would assume that the R/L L/R stuff would all be handled by the language packs installed on the phone itself... and I would hope that these locale customizations would be present on not only the factory software from LG, but in any custom ROM anyone built for the phone. But I can't tell you yea or nay since I haven't ever messed with other locales.

@LeoRex
Think that for the N6 I will try the Cataclysm first!
And thank you so much for all the explainations!
