The only reason i stayed with my phones custom rom is because of its stability and cool functions. I have tried cyanogen mod 10 before but it was buggy but really made my phone faster and saved more battery. But i went back because of the bugs and features of my stock rom. So i was wondering which rom would bring out the best out of my S3 in terms of speed, battery saving, functionality and stabilty?? Thanks!

So I'm pretty new to Androidbut I've already gotten in to flashing custom roms. I currently have Viaero wireless add my carrier. I've tried CyanogenMod and ran into some data problems and am now using villainROM. It'd nice and stable but there's not much customization and to me it feels about the same as stock. I'd love to hear some suggestions on a new ROM to try. The reason I stayed a new thread is because I'm a little unsure if being on a different carrier well effect what kernels I can use. All I'm really looking for is decent stability, decent battery life, and a fair amount of customization. Thanks in advance.

u can use your carrier on any kernel
try hyperdroid andrioidmeda
fast and stable
welcome to the light side
How is it in terms of customization? I liked the options I had with CyanogenMod it just wouldn't work right for me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
you can download custom launchers from market
rom toolbox will allow you to customize more stuff, theme section of forums for themes
but nothing comes close to customization than cyanogen mod
you can also try checkrom.. it has a kitchen (a place where you can download modifications in one place).

Well I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.

Any rom/kernel will work on any network.
You can use any radio, one that will work well on your carrier.
I recommend hyperdroid, see my signature.

Thanks for the help. Like I said I'm still new to the scene but I'm picking it up quickly. I think I'll be giving hyperdroid a shot tonight. Just out if curiosity. What battery life have you been seeing with it on normal/heavy use?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I just started using Hyperdroid recently. With Push, and Data Sync on, with heavy usage I get 13 hours of battery life.
Hey everyone, I am going to be trading some services (a mechanic is doing my breaks in exchange for me rooting and custom romming his lady's phone) and would like to know what your opinion is on the best thunderbolt ROMs available? She is currently on stock software and hates absolutely everything about her phone and how it behaves.
What would you guys recommend? I'm looking for functionality, reliability, battery life and the smallest amount of software bugs as possible.
Tweaked stock ROMs? AOSP? CM7 or 9? I know nothing about the thunderbolt community and would greatly appreciate any info you can give me.
Thank you everyone

Leaving it on a stock rom unless you plan on maintaining the rom for her..If she has no idea what shes doing then dont cause a headache for yourself, with techs its nothing to change out a rom, or if it gets buggy, well you get the point... the best thing would be a factory reset, or check the memory on the phone she prob has to many apps, install the apps from the sd card to free up the memory cuz im on a stock rom and its way fast, great battery, most of all the battery issues are from apps..just trying to save you a down the road..
I would go to the dev section of this forum and look at the ROMs and see what catches your eyes its opinion over opinion when saying stock is better than custom tons, I myself like custom roms because you can choose a wide variety of tweaks etc etc

LiquidRom 3.2 and use Rom Tool box built in to download pink theme, use built in theme chooser and apply theme, the get a pink keyboard skin and appy. Btw you can customize splash screen and bootanimation to her liking with Rom Tool box too. No bugs for me.

I use SkyRaider Zeus. Has an option to switch radio to 3g when screen is off which improved my battery life immensely.

You want no problems use zues.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Definitely a stock based ROM, like Zues. AOSP's battery life isn't as good as Sense (to no fault of the amazing devs of course).
I also suggest Imoyeson's leankernel 5.1.0GB in battsaver mode. Amazing performace with amazing battery life.
I also recommend Zues. ran it for a month straight no problems. only switched roms to see what else is out there
BAMF 1.11 with kernel+++ and turn off task manager at startup. Since I've installed the latest version of BAMF I've had zero fcs, great battery life and good speed. I'm a tech all day long with Windows PC and understand little about behind tor scene android functions. BAMF seems most reliable and low maintenance. Remember every phone responds different to the same os. It's just like gas every kia responds different to bp gas.

Hey guys, I've been wondering. Is the general battery life on cyanogen less than stock for every rom out there? As far as I know, its supposed to be better in cyanogen, right? Or is the issue just on the Ace?
Sent from my Super Galaxy Ace using XDA.
HI
its my understanding that battery life on ace sucks lol
despite stock of custom rom
however ore to the point
cyanogen is for performance....at the cost of battery life there are various scripts/tweaks which help however
stock roms are, well stock roms they have balance or supposed to
they also have tweaks and scripts and they tend to last longer than cyanogen
in summary
cyanogen for power/speed
stock for battery/balance
Haha...i think it suck, thats why any cyanogen i use with different kernel...
[sent from my haramjadah ace via free netwotk]
I use cyanogen mod 7.1 by grif_07 (original CM)
Never had a problem with battery life, would say its about the same as stock, but get better performance.

Guys,
Hello to you all. Question to you all as I'm looking for the best, fast, stable, light, daily driver ROM for Galaxy 5. Also, a plus would be if it was still under development but...
Any advices?
Thanks!

I've been using Android 2.3.7 Stock-like for a while and it worked flawlessly.
Long battery life (48+ hours with moderate usage), fast and responsive functionality, minimalistic and, well, stock like.
Give it a go.
I'm currently testing the MegaRom which looks promising. Had some hickups during the first installation attempt (boot loop), then I got it working via Odin/CWM: installed the rom first, then the fix and did a data wipe/factory reset (just this) and reboot after that, works like a charm now.
Best ROM threads aren't allowed on xda.
Use the ROM's and come to a decision yourself.
If this was any other device forum, you'd be shot by now and the thread locked instantly.

+1 very good rom, excellent battery life
I've been using Android 2.3.7 Stock-like and it's working very well. Battery life is great!
Sometimes there are lags and reboots, but compared with ROM stock this ROM is excellent.
Was wondering which of the CM ROMs is most efficient as far as memory and battery usage. Froyo, Gingerbread, or Jelly Bean?
I prefer jellybean. For jellybean use cyanaosp with rather the stock kernel or Mackay kernel. V6 supercharger

I decided to go with the ROMs from Fisherman. If I can every get Odin to detect my phone in download mode. But yea, I decided an actual phone ROM would be the best option instead of using ICS or Jb. There is less to maintain and I don't have to worry about bugs like bt and battery life.
Well you have to look at it this way. Our phone never even got gingerbread for it to run jellybean is a miracle bit it also consumes some ram while jellybean is awesome froyo was the last update our phone ever got

I would have to agree with you. I will only use this phone for work. So strictly no 3rd party apps other than skype. Not even a custom launcher. I think I shouldn't worry about memory consumption. Just rely on the awesome custom ROMs that the devs optimize.
I use the phone as a test subject now its my little brothers media player toy. You just gotta see what works best for you
