It depends on what your 'everyday using' means. For me this ROM works great. [ROM][Feb 18][4.4.2] I9300 AOSP NeatROM v3.1
There are still bugs in all 4.4 Roms and will be until Samsung release their official one (or we get a leak)

I have tested Teamasek CM 11. This Rom is very smooth and fast and have many Features. But all AOSP or CM Roms are a little buggy.
ok, thanks... I prefer stable to new. I will wait for the well working ROMs. Thanks for your responses

Hello guys, I have a question regarding this MIUI ROM
http://translate.google.co.in/trans...a=X&ei=XqZNUKyCCcXqrQey7IHQAg&ved=0CCIQ7gEwAA
check out the link and scroll down, Galaxy S3 i9300 is supported and is currently based on 4.1 Jellybean
I now wonder how I can install the rom to my S3, and what do I need to flash it.
I'm also curious about the ROM's bugs, is there any if ever? is it stable?
since this one came directly from MIUI devs, I thought this one would be better?
I really like the simplicity of the ROM, I also wonder if the its okay to flash the kernel fix in this rom so I will not have the Sudden death issue?
I hope you guys can answer all of my questions ~
thanks a lot in advance!
1) To install a custom rom you need custom recovery..clockworkmod recovery is the best...search in posts for cfroot+cwm(clockworkmod)..
Steps to install will be found in its official website
2)miui rom is an excellent..it is stable...few bugs will be there...even the official release has bugs...but a very few only..
3) kernel fix is safe and is recommended to prevent dead devices
Hope it helps...

It's not. You need to try them for yourself to decide which one is the best for you.
I prefer TWRP

That s true.
I like CWM better because of the sobriety.
TWRP is more feature-rich, but a little more messy UI wise, in my opinion
Hello everyone .
I don't know what to do . I am sitting a lot , trying to update my version (4.0.3) to 4.2.1. Also, i am looking for a stable Rom with working GPS.

You can try the new AOKP build. Vibrantmtd is once supported again instructions for installing the rom are listed in the thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208126.
As far as GPS is concerned it is either a hit or miss...might work or it might not. Unfortunately I am not able to test it since my vibrant is bricked
But I can tell you that AOKP is an excellent rom I been using it for nearly a year now since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. It is far much better than ICS passion in every aspect. Never had any problems with it.
As for the kernel I can't really say which one I would recommend since I honestly can't ever recall flashing a kernel for my vibrant...I've always used the kernels that are included in the ROM(S).
Just remember to backup your apps...because you will lose them in the process since this is not an update...it is more of an upgrade(4.0.3 to 4.2.2).
Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions.

The ROM will update you straight to 4.2.2. I don't think you need to be on 4.1 to update or any other version for that matter. Just flash the ROM through recovery and you should be good to go. Good luck.
You can use my cyanaosp build which is reported to have good gos from many users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167819
Or you can use my rootbox port which also has great gps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167857

Hi guys,
i trying to find a stable rom rooted for my galaxy s2. I looking for 4.1.2 release but if you know of a newer stable version it's better.
The important things is that is stable.
Thanks in advance
Go for NeatROM xwms2, or flash WanamLite if you want pure stock.
Or take stock Samsung and flash philz kernel if you want 100% stock with all the bloatware.

I think it is falling under the category of "what's best rom".
Try yourself and test.
See which one suits for u

Try CM 10.2. it stable and most sorted out. but as one member said there are many options so look for things you dont like in CM 10.2 and search which ROM has them. it a big world. you have to do some reading.
Thread closed as its a best ROM thread.
OP please do not be lazy, and also remember that what works best for one person may not work best for someone else due to differences in how you use the device and what for.
I am using the latest Pacman kitkat nightly and i am very satisfied with it.
I read the official KK rom is laggy. Is that true.
Any reasons for switching back to the original Rom?

mhl to hdmi does not work on custom roms (at least seems so..)
i'm planning to test a stock rom, maybe 4.3 since i can't find 4.4 for sgp311 and i can't update via pc companion since i unlocked bootloader.
apart from mhl issue i think ppls are very happy with custom roms so not many reasons to go back to stock.
Not finding much lag here, but YMMV. If you're happy with pacman stick with it. But, if you flash anyways you can always give stock 4.4.2 a try!

Hello,
I am trying to find an official ROM for my GT-I9100 phone ( Europe )
As far as I understood, the latest official ROM for this phone is 4.1.2 ( Src: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 )
Is there a way to install an "official" 4.4 ROM for this phone with Odin ? I can only find *really* customized one, like cyanmogen, slim etc... which I don't want.
Which ROM would you recommend close to the official one?
Many thanks
Last really official rom was 4.1.2

You're right...
The last official ROM was 4.1.2
There are some ROM developed on the last builds (the official ones) like NeatRom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-neatrom-lite-extralite-themed-aroma-t1569686, but are 4.1.2
Actually there are no official roms after 4.1.2
All others rom after that version are developed at least without Samsung's interface TouchWiz so the look is different (and are lacking all the specific Samsung's app)
Thanks Tarma,
Do you know why ROM after 4.1.2 are developed without the touchwiz interface ( at least for my phone GT-9100 ) ?
Basically, why can't we find a barely tweaked 4.4 ROM working on a GT-9100 ?
Many thanks

This rom has touchwiz implemented with some galaxy s5 themes. Although it's still based on 4.1.2 it looks like 4.4.
In phone information it also says 4.4 but don't get fooled, it's still 4.1.2

However, I need Android 4.4 as I need to debug Android apps using Chrome remote debugging ( https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging )

Hmm that's a good question. I'm no developer though, but I thought a while about it.
It would be wrong to say it'an official rom for galaxy s2, cause official ended with 4.1.2 and everything beyond there is built by non Samsung people.
To be honest I have no clue why there is no 4.4 based rom with touchwiz and now where u ask I'm interested too. Maybe it'd be an idea to ask a developer personally about that.
Only thing I can think is it has something to do with the Samsung specific apps which source codes may not be published.
Earlier when I installed a custom rom on 4.3 I missed the radio and also the feature to play wma files on music player.
Suggestion I got was to go back to stock-based rom.
So I think the devs just have no source code for Samsung stuff and thus they can't put it into other roms.
But as long as they r just tweaking the original one (4.1.2) which already has everything into it, it's possible.

TouchWiz is the Samsung's proprietary interface developed for their products I don't think any source code is available to developer's community.
I've tried some rom without Touchwiz, but are always lacking something. I'm happy with my NeatRom based on the latest Firmware available by Samsung, rooted and working like a charm
