CrDroid with crpalmer's kernel. Blazing fast with awesome battery life
Sent from my crDroid DNA
I've been switching back and forth between NOS's GPE and a few different aosp Roms (running Vanir ATM). The customization of aosp Roms is awesome, but the performance and screen-on time just isn't up to par with sense based Roms so I go back and forth a lot. Too bad we can't have the best of both worlds, but GPE+xposed modules is about as close as it gets.

CM 10.2 /w crpalmer Kernel
Carbon has been my daily driver until just recently as pio isn't actively developing it anymore. Hopefully he will come back to it when the time is right, but in the meantime I've been bouncing around all over between Sense and AOSP...flashed Viper 2.0 and ran it all day yesterday and it's pretty close to the customization I was used to with Carbon and PAC, and it was nice to have full speaker volume for a change. But right now I'm flashing crDroid and will probably spend a little time playing with Beanstalk today too.
When picking a ROM, my main concern is whether or not it will still be supported a week from now. With a lot of the AOSP roms for the DNA, it looks like each developer is building and supporting three or four roms, and in some cases stop building/supporting an older rom when they have three or four new ones to compile.
Because of this I stick to CM (or really any other rom with a full team behind it who releases regular builds).
I just switched back to AOSP from ViperDNA and had a good run with that.

None of the roms which i build has been abandoned. If they have been abandoned its due to the fact that their main team has stopped developing like jellybeer, uXylon etc.

Oh I wasn't referring to anyone in particular! I've just had a bad history on other devices of independent devs losing interest over time. I'm actually on Gummy right now and thoroughly enjoying it. I just tend to stick to "official" roms since they get updated daily, lol.
Now I flashed the 4.3.1 [ROM][4.3.1][16-Oct]**crDroid AOSP**|CM10.2|HALO 2.0|SLIMPIE|APPBAR and it's simply the best I tried so far... Awesome battery life, and perfect customization options!

Do you elaborating on GPE + xposed...I love the carbon rom and would love to increase the volume and I am getting frustrated.
I know AOSP roms have bugs. But why is it that I cannot use my voip apps on my phone whenever I have anything AOSP on it?? Is there something I'm missing?? Like changing settings somewhere?? My main complain with AOSP are the constant crashes, and that it renders my voip apps useless. Also, in my experience battery life was poor in AOSP and most of the feature rich sense based roms. I'm currently running DNA-Super-Digital rom on my phone. It's not fancy but at least it is very stable and offers a good battery life. I wish there were more stable roms with good battery life like it.

Xposed frameworks basically lets you modify apk's on the fly as if the functionality was built into the ROM, I think that's the best way to explain it. Right now I'm using xposed framework with gravitybox (various mods similar to what you find in aosp Roms), xblast tools (same type of thing), xposed statusbar mods (self-explanatory), xposed app settings (per-app DPI/permissions), and xtheme engine (let's you use cm10 themes, although they have to be pre-modified to work with xtheme). Here is the thread for xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 installation instructions are in the thread, and all of the modules I mentioned are available through the app.

Jammiethemorris answered the question about xposed framework. Regarding the volume, xposed framework doesn't fix that. All CM-based roms have low speaker volume because the amplifier is not working correctly. So I switched to the GE rom which is Sense-based and therefore doesn't have the low volume problem. The GE rom looks very much like AOSP but doesn't have options to tweak it, hence the need for xposed framework which allows you to tweak he look and feel of the rom.

well, then you should go with the viper, the wake on volume was in cm10.1, but buggy so they removed it

I personally like CM right now, though both are excellent ROMs in my opinion. I just prefer the overall "feel" of CM and I love a more stock experience...I find Sense a waste of resources that could better be placed elsewhere. though you can opt out of it with Viper. That being said, I would give them both a try and see which one suits you better! They are both amazing, it's really just a matter of preference...

What are best practices for switching back and forth between CM10 and Viper? NAND backups, but what about Titanium? Can that be used to preserve SMS messages? Or is it too unreliable to do titanium backups between the different types of ROMs? Thanks for your input.

PACman, paranoid kicks ass
I have reached that point where I no longer care for the benchmarks and stuff. I don't use my phone for intense gaming or app usage anymore so as long as the ROM is smooth, can do some multitasking briskly and has no to little bugs, I am ok.
Currently, my favorite is CM10.1.2 because it can do gapless playback in Google Music and I am a sucker for it! I am a fan of PAC-rom too but I am not sure if it is stable for our phone.
Go for CM10.1.2 with a 3.0 kernel for the best of both worlds - stability and the latest Android (mdm series CM 10 is great).
Personally I prefer the CyanogenMod ROMs (more official to get deeper) because you can customize the hell out of them. They do have the overclocking you are looking for, and yes, in one of the recent updates, they put in wake-vol-buttons. I like it because the themes are just awesome and the support is excellent. Nightly updates and nightly fixes (for the most part). There are somethings that I would like CyanogenMod to fix such as the external SD card usb mass storage not mounting on PC. That is a major drag. That is the only thing that I can think of right now that I hate about CyanogenMod. Hope this review on it helps!
Hey..just looking for opinions on what you guys think is the most stable and effective rom? I have been flashing sense 5 roms and cm.10 aosp roms. I prefer cm.10 i just cannot handle the bugs right now or things half working. So im just wondering what your opinions are for the most stable rom with great battery life would be? At least until all the bugs are worked out in other roms...

Bring on the comments please. Moonshine S-Off for me soon, Hopefully.
One of the Sense based ROM's will be the most stable and fully functional. If you want to venture out more then there are several AOSP based roms that are at about 95% functional.
Viper and newts sense 5 are generally considered the 'best' roms.

Was Newts Sense5 Rom not working out for you? I found that to be the most stable.
PAC rom by pio. Best features, no ugly sense framework.
I used to run Newt's Sense 5 rom. That, coupled with Zarbos' kernel (badass governor I think?) was very stable and had great battery life.
As of right now I'm running Flyhalf's CM 10.1 rom. No issues so far, but according to the thread some people are having random issues.
I gotta say Viper.lots of tweeks and customization and super stable!
Good Question. I plan on flashing Newt.s Sense 5 ROM when we get Moonshine but I;d prefer CM10.1.
The thing is I've read photos taken with CM are noticeably worst than Sense on the One, plus I played with it on a Note 2 and noticed that and the screen looked much worst. Can anyone say how CM stacks up in those areas?
I'm running Hatka Supreme Sense 5 rom. Seems to have the best balance of stability, speed and customization. Also battery life is great.
Just ran CM10 for the weekend to weigh it. Only real complaint was Bluetooth quality, which was a killer for me . Back on viper.

Until then I'd have to say the most stable rom at this point is newts sense 5.

Depending on which Rom you use I've noticed aosp is snappier where it matters but has it drawbacks as far as widgets goes. Viper is the best sense Rom IMO. Always the best customizations and amazing support. I'm torn at times which one to run day to day but I usually stick with the least problematic. Aosp for DNA has some kinks to iron out so I'm holding out for that.

the most stable from my experience was a cm9 ics based rom as its most compatible with the device...most roms 4.1 based and higher have reboot issues because of a deep sleep issue caused by the default setting of the min frequency being too low under performance settings...but if you want everything to work including bluetooth and not have sense cm9 would be your best choice...4.3 based roms still have many bugs such as mms not working after first reboot and camcorder keeps force closing..4.1 and up still has a few bluetooth based bugs and your reboots...the reboots still happen on 4.3 based roms like pac until you change it to proper settings

Even the latest version of cm9 (back in 05/28/13) has bluetooth problems. Is there really no aosp or kang that is 100% functional? Weather it be 4.0, 4.2, 4.3? Came close with Liquid Smooth but still having soft reboots.
Consider Talon v1.0, because either nobody is using it (unlikely with over 3000 views), or people are using it and brenuga just built it right and it works... and my money is on the later. Seems extremely stable, feature rich, and bug-free, it is what I am going with for my work phone.
My ROM of choice is CM10.1.3. I have zero issues with it. CM9 would be my next choice.

Cool thanks guys
There is no "best" ROM. Every ROM is great, as we have some rockin' awesome devs. It just boils down to preference.
Sense based:
Software designed for our hardware, less bugs, not many features, but things just.... Work.... You want to stay sense but want a metric S*** ton of features? Try Viper DNA, if you want a little less features, try NOS.
AOSP based:
Made for all iterations of Android devices, more prone to bugs, limited by software (I noticed AOSP camera compared to Sense on this device is a joke IMO, as Sense camera is MADE for this brand of phone, AOSP is made for a plethora of devices). You get nice features with no loss of performance (to a degree). With AOSP you get that Stock Android feel Google intends without OEM putting their skin on top of it.
It really boils down to the features you want, and the way you want your phone to act. Some Roms fly, some don't. It all is just the nature of the beast. Best to try a few out, just be sure to search that ROM's thread for any bugs, reviews, and features.

ABFP (Android Bug Free Project). Just kidding. Anyway, Sense ROMs definitely have the least bugs, but the AOSP ROMs are pretty good too, mostly everything works. I suggest you give the Google Play Edition ROM a try though, It's got all the benefits of being a sense-based ROM but it feels like pure AOSP. It doesn't have all the cool features of the real AOSP ROMs though.

My answer to this question is simple.. Though there are many great roms based on AOSP, they are all based on the CM 10.2 source.. For me, there are still too many bugs that I consider to be showstoppers ... I love AOSP and always will.. but I've been running Sense 5 since Joelz released just the rom OP is asking about.. now I've moved to Venom since I'm a tester and it frankly just works. Battery life is good, performance.. etc. It's all there.. I think there is a strange issue with Skype, but I don't use it.. those that do I feel bad, especially those that use it for phone calls, Venom will fix it.. just in time. :good: ... But honestly, this question can't be answered by anyone but you. Flash all the roms available, give them 3 days each.. operate like you normally do on your phone and see.. Really the only way.. But the most 'bug fee' will always be on Sense based roms.. :highfive:
