Most stable non-TW ROM? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm running liquidsmooth right now and it is running great. I was wondering which out of all of them is the most stable? AOKP/pacman/carbon/cm etc.

I've had good luck with Carbon and CM

I know most non-tw roms have similar bugs but do these have any major ones?

Yeah GPS only works with location by mobile network disabled and 5ghz WiFi is not working and head phone audio in a phone call. So that about it if you can survive with out any of those I listed and aosp ROM is suitable.

5GHz wifi works fine but you have to change the channel to 48 or below.

Slim Bean is far and away the most stable ROM I've run.

When my gps wasn't locking even with the wifi assist off work around there is another possible fix. Back up your rom then flash tw based rom and get a full gps lock. Restore other rom and then was able to get locks fine (with workaround disabling the one checkbox)

My GPS locks fine with the wifi location checked on Carbon 6/20 with stock kernel. I am locked on 11 satellites indoors right now on the bottom floor of my house.
But..looking at gps status it seems like the magnetic sensor does not work.

GPS has always worked for me on Cyanogenmod. I'd say it's by far the most stable since most others base themselves off it.

Any "What's the Best...." or "What's the most stable....." Threads are a matter of opinion for the members running them and exactly how they use their phone. Therefore what may be stable or best for them will not be the same for you. There is no substitute or shortcut to backing up, reading and flashing yourself. This is why these threads are always closed.

Yes, this affects my TB as well. Switch to 3G or Wifi and usually videos will begin to play within a few seconds. Sometimes on 4G, YouTube videos will not load. I suspect this is due to an issue with the YouTube app itself, but have no concrete proof. I am in Houston and am running a rooted/deodexed/debloated version of 2.11.605.19

It's on every new rom and I use imosense kernel... IM in Colorado springs.... It will just keep loading on 4g but wifi or 3g it plays instantly.... I've went from the .19 radios to the .9 and it's still there....

It's an issue with imo's leankernel. He fixed this in his aosp version but I don't know if he has it nailed down for his gbsense version.

Note 2 WIFI Issues on ALL roms

Trying to figure out why my wife's note 2 running JB v16 has one bar of WIFI sitting right next to my vzw S3 with full bars of WIFI signal.
This has been an issue on every note 2 rom I have flashed.
Does anyone have any possible Idea of what the heck is going on?
Thanks in advance.

Check your broadband. This will tell you what your radio's are set to. If you have updated roms, but never updated radios, that may be your problem.

I find my wifi signal is usually really weak compared to other devices too but I really figure it may just be a problem with a few of the N2s.

You could be right. Maybe I'll try and find another note 2 and test it I'm my house

Still no answers for this. Been reading all over other forums and it appears this is a pretty significant issue as well outside the root community.
Sounds like it may be a defect in some phones

I have no idea what the problem is, but the situation is exactly opposite in my house. S3 struggles to connect and stay connected, while Note almost always has full bars on wifi.

I had the widget stop working. Even though I could "Google" fine from the web browser, the widget would just sit there. I trashed the widget and reinstalled it. It worked once, to early to tell.

I'm on TW - JellyBeans and have no problems.
Hmm. Well it appears that some of you are having the exact same issue as I am and some are not. Those who are having the issue, what kernel are you running? Any mods? Thanks

It's also happening on some note 2s. I have no clue what is causing it
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
It's probably worth noting whether people are on wifi or cell network. I had that problem yesterday on 4g, but it worked just fine later on wifi. I'm running the ME7 build from GatesJunior with the stock (MDK) kernel.
No results on 4g. Dark slide me7 stock kernel.

Signal strength has been poor lately, what can I do?.

I'm running eclipse 1.6 along with chronic kernel. I've been getting poor signal over the past few days and was wondering if there was another radio or something to try and improve my signal.

Yeah try flashing (or re flashing) the me7 radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358007

Flash the new radio at the cost of battery life. I noticed big drain with it so I went back to the MDK radio. Just a heads up!
If you wanted to you could back up your current ROM and flash a stock touch wiz ROM and see how the signal is.

I second that. Whenever I run into a fairly serious problem ill revert back to stock to see if its rom related.

Yeah no point in jumping the gun, although I'm starting to jump on this ART bandwagon, 4.4 AOSP is noticeably faster with it enabled.

Yea Art runs great as long as you don't use xposed or any other custom apps. That's the only thing that keeps me from sticking with it. Although Liquid is building a lot of the things I used xposed for right into their rom.

Yea beanstalk is a really awesome ROM. Definitely my second favorite after liquid now. Both are stable as hell.. And actually I just switched over to ART for good , the latest liquid added a couple more things that I really don't need xposed anymore.
If you need to flash something ...try liquid.
