The base is identical but Hamidreza2010 contacted me to inject some mods.
So, this is a stock based ROM and you can use as a pure stock based ROM (Deodex, zipaligned, root and superuser mod) with no modification.
But, you can use it with several mods (Z3 mods, fonts, boot anim, ...) thanks to AROMA. There are a lot of possibilities. I would recommend modded system apps icons .
This ROM is a richest version of my previous baby.

I have been a fan of your customised stock rom. The best pure stock rom according to me and am surely going to try this. Thanx and keep up your good work.

 

[Furrydaus]

Honestly the amount of customised stock roms are far too saturated but I like how you've made the effort to integrate things such as aroma and update applications here. Keep it up

Well, I hope you will appreciate this one too.
I have done the ROM for me at the beginning, so it is like I liked to have ma SP.

Yep, you're right. There are a lot of custom ROMS. As I think the stock ones are the best, the addition of the AROMA installer bring something new and more interesting. My advice. Thanks for comment.

Your welcome dear
Glad you like it

For my daily use, there are a lot of additionnal apps (Social apps, third party calendar, weather widgets, ...) and I don't experience any lag.
Maybe it could be a little slower with Z3 ported apps (Redraw of home after a game) but I have not seen nothing with stock home and Z3 systemUI (with ad hoc parameters using Xposed).
Regarding RAM, well...free RAM is wasted RAM and it is well managed.

One more time, this ROM was created to match the needs of users. All is question of compromise...do you want speed, functionnalities, beauty, ... Whatever, you can choose.
Anyway...it is always stable. :good:

The battery life is purely stock like. I can assure you its definitely better than Cm11 since i have used that rom for a good time

Close button

Hi Hamidreza2010,

Is it me or i don't see the close button
I use Z3 ui + Z3 home + "invisible" power button

 

[Killawave]

I totally agree with you.

But how is the battery life on this rom?

As mentionned, it is stock battery life.
Plus, it is a little subjective. Depends on your behaviour with the device.
Do you read mails, surf the Net, play games, answer the phone or SMS?
All these parameters will influence battery life. But, average battery time life in "normal" usage is about a day...like every smartphones.

EDIT : Screenshots added to OP

 

[bubbeld]

ok thank you for the response
i sometimes check my mail 3-4 times a day sometimes playing a game
but the most i use is youtube
I had change my governor to wheatley and the i/o to Sio.

And there is no way to fix z2and z3 in home bug when you get down system notifications and back home and task buttons are full transperements ? I really hate this bug i love when its dark when looking in to notifications but this transperements only when you are in home

 

[Killawave]

I'm sorry, I don't understand well the question.
You want to use the alternative system apps with Lollipop icons?

And there is no way to fix z2and z3 in home bug when you get down system notifications and back home and task buttons are full transperements ? I really hate this bug i love when its dark when looking in to notifications but this transperements only when you are in home

I didn't noticed that bug.
Maybe you could use Xposed to configure Home or wait for Hamidreza. He should help you about that.

 

[Ainster]

I'm sorry, I don't understand well the question.

No just alternative apps like semic phone from z2 or stock one messaging app z2 or z3 or stock one .

 

[Killawave]

No just alternative apps like semic phone from z2 or stock one messaging app z2 or z3 or stock one .

Ok. As there is the SuperUser Mod, you will be able to use whatever application you want as the signature will be ignored.
So, if you find ported Z2 or Z3 apps, it should work on the ROM. As I have not tested, I can't guarantee.
