So a year or so ago I convinced my girlfriend that flashing a ROM was a good idea. I looked around and people kept talking about MROM. It's been okay so far, but I really want to revitalize the phone. So I'm looking for a nice, stable, fast rom, no bells and whistles. Just a workhorse that will not let her down. Suggestions? Any of the CM versions fit the bill?
try ElmasRom, it updated yesterday.
Before throwing suggestions out, what android version do you want to have would be the first thing to ask

Same case than the OP. I'd like the most stable/less buggy ROM post ICS. She also need volume wake cause the power button is broken

We do not allow best/fastest ROM or Kernel threads on XDA. Please head over to the development section, try some out and see which best suits your needs.

I'm not a fan of these forums and I have tried many MiUI roms but have been hit and miss. I mean tried WIUI and had great results... Flashed another MiUI rom.. Wasn't happy but when I flashed back to WIUI I had a bunch of lag. Both with siyhia kernel. So... What's your opinion? Thanks for the references.
Looking for speed and stability. Doesn't have to be latest release just stable and least amount of bugs. Thanks again.

Try sheps in the dev section
Its not a hell raised from so I would think it would be more stable..

Will do. And I meant "not a fan of these THREADs".... The what rom is best threads.. Just had mixed results. Thanks again for the advice

I've not had the greatest luck with hellraised MIUI ROMS. That said, shep does good work and I've had a good experience with his version. I'm an addict, though, so I can't stay on one ROM for more than a few days.
Good luck.

I've been using the version from Shep's threads for months now, very very stable and with Siyah it's even better. I get great battery life and really can't complain.
I've tried a few other roms, I remember when the I777 came out, there were about 5 roms everyone was using. I tried all of them and always came back to MIUI.
Well, I don´t like best rom threads since they are redundant. What is best for you cannot be best for me . Try them.
On that note, thread closed.
I was thinking about putting one of these on my SGS2.
Can anyone suggest either of these over the other? I know I like AOKP but what improvements has Foxhound made over AOKP?
Thanks.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Currently AOKP is my daily driver and I've found it to be wonderful. Haven't actually installed Foxhound yet but it is based off of Cyanogenmod and AOKP so it's bound to be good. As I understand it Foxhound's main feature is the customization options. There are several different pre-loaded themes, which skin the rest of the ROM.
Hope that helped!

Everyone said the rule for me, but i will be nice and explain a bit more.
Really, there can never be one perfect rom for anyone. Only you can decide if you like a certain theme, and some people value certain features over others. What YOU need to do, is find out what you need the most, and then take a look at some of the ROMS out there, and find the one the fits the best.
Frankly, there are no really bad roms on this board; just some that may not be what you need.
Figured to just make one thread for people to throw in their suggestions for ROMS for those people that were waiting for the official ICS, but was let down. Now they can go ROM out their phones to use as backup/main/fun, etc...
Should probably put down which ROMs have fingerprint and/or webtop support too for those that still want to use either or both of those functions.
Good Luck to all!

Nottachtrix if you like blur, neutrino if you like cm7, and epinter cm10 if you can live without video camera and hardware acceleration. Any of these are great daily drivers and will hold you over until you get a new phone.

Hey guys are all the CM based roms broken when it comes to fingerprint reader and Webtop? What is the fastest/best ROM with FPReader and Webtop that work?

What do you mean "FP broken"? As far as I know, FP works just fine with all CM7 ROMs.
Webtop never worked with any CM and very likely never will. There are alternatives to webtop so not a huge deal.
I gotta say...honestly although the intention of this thread is good, it's really not helping all that much, there have been like 10 different rec's already. I mean I guess at least it's a place to start, but I wish there was some info about each rom rather than saying "this one's the best." Maybe it would be nice to have links to the roms and a link on how to install roms? I'm not expecting to be spoonfed here, my Atrix is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, but I haven't been following the rom scene at all waiting for ICS so I'm a bit lost. Just my input, thanks.

There are separate threads about each and every ROM mentioned. Do you seriously expect people to copy descriptions and feature lists for each and every ROM? This is not a ROM summary thread, it says right in the title these are just RECOMMENDATIONS. Just go to the respective thread and read up.
IMO this thread (and a few others like it) is pretty pointless anyway, because the question "which ROM is best" is pretty stupid. There's no such thing as "the best ROM", this is just too individual. Different people look for different things in a ROM. You should just find ones that seem interesting and try them out yourself, and then decide which one works best FOR YOU PERSONALLY.

The OP says ROM recommendations not "the best ROM" as you led the readers to believe.
Why don't you all [Members] policing XDA just ignore a thread that you don't like instead of posting your dislikes about it? I think that is more waste of XDA resources than the OP. An ignored thread would quickly disappears anyway but the feuds between members would lead to unproductive environment. Just saying!
Mrom
I would recomend to stay with a GB rom for at least the next 2 months. For me the best one is Mrom which is based on CM7 and has given me the best battery life.
If you want to try a JB rom the I strongly recomend Epinter´s. It´s updated very often and runs smoothly and has very little bugs.
My recommendation would be any kind of ROM which will install on a Samsung device.
CM7 is rock solid and a very trustworthy daily driver for the Atrix. Great battery life - IMHO better battery life than stock. Highly recommended!...

Ok so I have a mdk version of this phone and I want to put a solid rom on it what one is the best do you think of the non tw ones? And another stupid question if I flash like dirty unicorn does it lock down the bootloadrr?
There is no right answer to this... the best rom is the one you like the most, so you need to start flashing and finding this out for yourself.
Flashing roms will not lock your bootloader. Only if you take an official update will it do that.
what the above user said is correct, the best ROM depends on the user. However, i have a rooted mdk gs4 and i was using stock for quite a whole and happy with it. after a while tho, the slight lag and other annoyances got to me so i decided to try a rom. I should note that this is my first android device, I am a long time iphone user and jailbreak expert, so i'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. I decided to try Hyperdrive recently and I absoultely love it. its basically a hybrid of touchwiz for gs4 and note 3 with all of the bloated BS crap removed and lots of customization options. it is much faster and solves some of my gripes and was easy to install. I also chose to try it first because it was similar to what i was already on so it was a good first ROM choice in my opinion. it was also super easy to install. I am gonna try CM11 when it gets released to see if I like it, but for now i would recommend you try hyperdrive

Ive had a lot of trouble with AOSP 4.3 ROM's with Bluetooth. On long conversations the BT will cut out and then the phone hot boots after I hang up.
I dont use that much I just want a good daily driver

All the aosp roms bring something to the table. The touch wiz roms for this phone are great as well. There are fan boys for all of them.
See what you like.
That said. I can tell you which developers I'd follow. I say this based on user support and rom support, and listening to features requests, and a quality product. or a combination there of. Sbreen94, nitroglycerin33, dubbsy, beanstown106 , Bdogg for DU is starting out right. Andybones is also tops but I haven't seen as much of him lately.
Edit: forgot DaMadOne is is doing nice things on his aokp kang.
With the big aosp custom rom's you have a ton of peer support buy typically @ the mercy of whatever the larger team is working on in terms of bug fixes etc...
I have less experience with sacs so can't say there.

Some moderators have been shutting these kinds of threads down do to the fact that you are asking for someone to rate ones work over another, but I will chime in before that happens.
I am not going to rate one over the other though, as all phones run differently as you are finding out.
2 roms that MY phone had no problem running......Padawan and Black Jelly.
These 2 are close to stock with bloatware removed. Remember this is your dads phone. There are plenty of other roms I like, but require more maintainence. How often are you going to want to fiddle with dads phone.
Not much has been happening on these threads. You will not see many recent issues. That is how stable they are. I will recommend you read and in Padawan, I will refer you back to p. 355 to about p. 380. This was just after update and many issues were solved at that time. My phone never ran better.
If you get lag, read again, you werent paying attention.
Good luck.

If you follow development rom threads you can answer your own question. That is what is expected of people to do rather than create threads like this. That being said I don't really know what you are hearing about 4.4.2 roms but my wife has been running a 4.4.2 rom for well over a week without any reboot. After installing uber,a screen jitter patch, and the camera patch everything seems to work fine. Granted she really doesn't use bluetooth much but when she does it seems to work and there is an echo when using speaker phone on the other end. So really only reason not to go to 4.4.2 would be the speaker phone issue which I believe is present on any rom above 4.2. There is no way I could live on 4.1 or below personally.
Anyway to answer your question read the threads in the development section of this forum and educate yourself. Maybe even go as far as to flash a few roms and try them out and decide which rom is right for you.
Battery on Kit Kat seems to have a bit of a shorter life span also.
What you were stating Butcher, may be the reasons he is asking for stable. Patch here, kernal there, 4.4 has been very stable. But he is putting it on dads phone. If I were flashing dads phone, I would want something I am not having to tweak so much, especially if dad cant tweak himself.
Would you want to change the brakes on dads car every other day. Some roms are like a medication. The phone seems to build up tolerances, then need to make an adjustment.
But yes, read.

Yes thank you.
I would usually just flash away any rom ghat sounds promising to me. And yes i would tweak as much needed to be exactly how i wanted. From overclocking to to voltages, to removing navbar to what ever is needed.
But like you said this is for my father and i would want to have it be the most stable ao he wont have to deal with reeboots and and weird screen fails.
And i have been reading and uber has been mentioner a lot. Some say good some say its bad.
Kinda have been seeing a mixed opinion about it. Thats why i have been asking for what somebody consideres a stable rom.
Also i dont have the opportunity to mess with his phone when ever i want.
He is on gingerbread and god is that slow.
Thank you both i will see the roms that were mentioned here, and read for others.

If you went to the Samsung website, you can get an official upgrade there or even calling the carrier and have the upgrade it. JB is the official upgrade. If something goes wrong there, then at least they are resposible if something goes wrong.
