| Apr 3, 2013 at 14:27 | comment | added | Izzy | Re-thinking the entire mess: @eldarerathis, simply place your first comment as answer (so I can accept) and mark the entire thing as completed. If we want to go for all that 'rom', 'stock-rom', 'stock-android' stuff, we should do so with a separate task/question. Let's leave 'rom' for generic, 'stock|custom-rom' for specific ROM stuff. 'stock-android' might rather relate to `vanilla-android' (again a different task). If you agree (and do as suggested), I would take care for the tag wikis to avoid future confusion. | |
| Apr 3, 2013 at 14:19 | comment | added | Izzy | Good point! Let me check in how far 'stock-rom' and 'stock-android' differ or match. One could argue the former is about finding images and referring to the system as such (from a technical view), while the latter refers to "stock features" (Edit: Exactly that seems to be the case). My, that gets confusing... | |

We do have stock-android, so maybe that serves the purpose of stock-rom anyway? Not all questions may necessarily relate to flashing a ROM in that tag, but using it with rom-flashing seems reasonable.

If used, you always have to check the context whether it means the firmware, a part of internal storage (where the firmware sits), or even the radio-firmware and its storage (in admittedly rare occasions). Inheritance of the old "cartridge" times... You probably will also argue on step 3 that 'rom' could be used for questions independent of stock or custom (generic). I agree, and in that case would recommend to "split" the 'rom' tag (creating a 'stock-rom' tag additionally; I'd do the re-tagging and tag-wikis, of course). | |

I've done #1. I have not yet done #2 - I'm thinking about it a little bit. Initially, it seems to make sense because of the way people tend to use the word "firmware" to mean "Android system", but I'm not sure if that's necessarily true of every question using the firmware tag.
