Hi.
I'm kind of lost in all of the different ROM's around here. Could you advise me which one to use?
I'd like to have stable ROM for everyday use with gapps and good battery life/managment.
I don't need the latest editions, just basic functions without bloatware.
(I would keep using rooted stock ROM but it started to act up...)
cm9 or cm 10

Hi all,
I'm currently using the stock firmware 4.2.2 and I don't have any problem yet, it seems fast and everything but I heard custom rom are usually faster.
I have checked a few roms and I'd like to try them but what I usually see when trying to decide what rom to install is that features that are improved are usually listed but there's not a list of things that don't work or don't work as good we in the stock firmware.
For example, it seems like some rom have problems with gps, other with audio, some with wireless.
There are two roms I would like to choose from
-HTC OneX+ INTER CM10.2 (4.3) Nightlies & M1
and
-CarbonRom UNOFFICIAL JB 4.3.1 - 2013_11_11
which one would you advise? and what problems do they have?
is it there something else that you would advise me to install instead?
Thank you
What ROM to use is very subjective and really varies user by user. The best way to get information is to start reading the ROM threads and then when you have enough information flash it and see if it works for you.
Hi all, im a new galaxy s 2 user, but i've allready tried a lot of roms from xda. As for me, a dont care about what android version it is based on( exept gb obviously) i need a stable and a good battery rom to use it daily, just for web surfing, and music while driving. Unfortunately, i really dislike stock samsung interface, so best choice for me is aokp/cm based rom. Now im using hydra h20 rom, it seems to be stable and battery friendly, but maybe i've missed some other good roms to try, so, my question is, what rom will you recommend me( or other users with same aims) to try?
Sorry for my english, its not my language

I've tried some kitkat and lollipop roms but a few days after installing the roms my phone starts getting annoyingly slow and sometimes apps will just close in the background. Does this mean my phone's RAM and CPU can't handle the version of Android I put on there?
I honestly don't have time to try out every rom available for the S3 to find out which one is fastest on this device. I just want a fast light-weight rom on my phone which won't get sluggish. It seems the latest official Samsung rom is Jellybean so would you guys recommend I use that? Will any of the third party JellyBean roms perform similarly? Will anything above JellyBean be sluggish?

Currently running latest Archidroid (clean install) and it got slow after about 2 days and apps often close for no reason.
Before this I had CyanogenMod 11 (clean install) and it got slow after about month.
Before that I had whatever stock rom the phone came with. I think it was IceCreamSandwich and I don't recall it being slow.
I may have tried some other roms in between (can't remember). I had the same problem with my previous phone when I flashed a newer version of android the performance suffered a lot. So to me it seems like I need to settle for a version of android that my phone can handle resource-wise.

I have also tried Cyanogenmod and it did run well in my S3. You can also give a try on Blisspop ROM, Omega omni and Omega(Stock based) ROMs. I recommend you to try Bliss pop latest stable version.
Make sure you wipe System and Data via recovery before flashing new ROMs.
If you had installed Games of huge memory, their obb files would still be there in the internal memory after flashing a ROM. So try cleaning off the unwanted obb files.
Try flashing minimal gapps which takes less memory.

I'm not sure why my phone gets so slow then. Maybe it's one of my apps that causes it. I guess I can try BlissPop and then only install my apps as I need them. It looks like the latest stable version is 5.1.1 yet I can only see v4.0.1 on their website.

Yes. Blisspop 4.0.1 is the latest stable version which is Android 5.1.1. Install minimal Gapps. Use Greenify app to hibernate less used apps.
N00b recently obtained a S3, rooted it with Kingo root & need some advice. on how to proceed next...
First of all i would like to point out that i have read several threads here in Q&A and in DEV and i must say the amount of ROMS and possibilities are quite overwhelming. That's why i am posting this Q...
Second: i don't want to switch ROM's all the time, i just want to install one good working, stable & fast ROM without the hassle of adding extra's, removing bloatware, try different kernels/bugfixes etc... It just needs to work.
Also i like to have: a dark layout for the Phone (saves energy and looks much better to me)
As little bloatware as possible , i just want it to be working fast & stable/flawless (i will install the stuff i really need myself via google playstore if possible)
Some Questions
- On my HTC Sensation XE i have 4EXT (with Viper 521 ROM), would this recovery work for the S3 or should i use someting else and why ?
- Which superuser/SU/else should work best with the S3 ?
- Should i use a 5.1.1 or 4.4.4-based ROM ? I have seen various threads and video-comparisons but none of them could convince me (besides the fact that lollipop is too bright & child-looking for my taste)
- Is there a stable & fully operational version of stock Android 4.4.4 or 5.1.1 for the S3 ? And if not which ROM comes closest ?
I would gratfeully receive any advice which ROM i should pick based on your personal experience(s)
Thnx in advance !
Slimkat 4.4.4 is recommended. Light, fast, no bloat and it has the dark mode you are looking for
Lollipop is no good for the s3 but if you are feeling adventourous you can try out either slimLP or dokdo project.
@cokesucker:
thnx for reply, i guess i'm gonna have to try...
Recovery ? Anyone else ? (read TS plz)
I'm currently using carbon rom kk last nightly from 11/2014 and ArchiKernel 2.1 old aosp. This is my daily driver. For recovery us TWRP always

Thnx :good:
Btw:
Why you think Lollipop is no good for the S3 ?
I was reading & watching (YouTube) some reviews about Archidroid & CM12 & they seem to be quite popular.
Any thoughts ?
Recovery Twrp
5.1.1 Rom ArchiDroid 3.1.4
Kernel Boeffla alpha 17
For a dark theme look at the play store and search for 5.1.1 theme
hello, i ve been looking for a good rom for this device, but it seems that is not that much supported by rom. I saw Pacman rom but the thread was closed which means not supported anymore. so do you recommend any rom ? because my htc one max became laggy and such or do you suggest any mods to the current stock rom? or any ported rom ?
Thanks
I didn't try every possibility but... I found that the sense 7 5.0.2 rom by yankee worked the best on my Sprint onemax.
I couldn't get most others to work well... Usually data did not work. CM12 or CM13 didn't work for me...

I'm running CM13 (cf. https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_t6vzw) or, if you don't wish to build it yourself, you can download Flyhalf's excellent ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3260857
Both run just fine on my OneMax.
HTHAL
There doesnt seem to be much support for this device anymore. Ive been following Fly's CM13 build. its really awesome and really stable. Ive tried the Nusense 6 and it was a great rom but i liked the CM 13 better and thats currently my daily driver.
Have a look here.

Thinking of getting a Max.
Probably will just doing a bit of research first.
I guess it missed the Marshmallow update?
