Hi Guys,
I know my question is probably provocative. But I tried out a few roms:
* Infamous
* CM 10.1 SGHT
* Nameless 4.4
But all of them are not able to play a YouTube video without freezes. Some of them developed extreme lag after using them a while or have strange issues like Nameless - which is actually not surprising at its beta.
Maybe someone can recommend a ROM, it should be Jelly Bean at least. Can live without KitKat. All I am looking for to have something a tad more up to date than the stock one and smooth.
Cheers
Holger
Good luck! Please tell if you found it.

Well I asked for a rom, but what I am figuring out what I need is a new tablet. Again a 10" because I am reading sometimes PDFs on it, but with a better screen and more ram... and maybe not from SAMSUNG. I am disappointeod that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 not even got JB.
This device has never been very good to begin with. Even the original Samsung ROMs did not run things well. It struggled with HD Youtube videos back then too. The truth is the Nvidia Tegra 2 chip was over hyped.
I finally found a rom that plays HD videos om YouTube butter smooth, is very fast and reliable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831040
The stock ICS rom, deodexed, zip aligned and alrrady rooted.
My recommendation is, also to install the A1 Kernel for stock roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136
It claims an additional 64MB ram back, so you get 786 instead of standard 722MB and you can overclock of course.
Together with the Nova launcher and Chrome as my browser I am a lot more happy than with the other custom roms in the past 12+ months.
My pad flies and the touch wiz UI feels more ergonomic than all the JB additions...

I will post later today some screenshots of some tools to have an idea about battery consumption. For me it deep sleeps well and battery is :good: But in detail after 6 - 7 hours of testing.
Back to life
The tablet is now almost 7 hours on battery. I used quite a lot today, but not perfectly reflected by the screenshots because I rebooted once. The battery consumption in standby is around ~2.5%/hour. Maybe even less. I also configured my pad, to turn off wireless when in standby and not on AC.
For me it feels like a new tablet. Yesterday evening I watched reviews about 10" tablets and already checked prices. Today I am sure I will not waste money so soon on a new one. The old Galaxy Tab feels so fast and smooth, fun using it.
Only thing annoyed me is the ICS keyboard, without digits when you hold the top row keys. So I replaced it with an actual one and that works beautifully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657791
For the launcher I chose Nova launcher and I am also using the more up to date Chrome browser. I don't miss anything, its more the opposite. I am grateful to have the TouchWiz UI and some of the Samsung apps back.
For all who wants to give it a try. Just do the factory reset e.g. TWRM offers and flash the ROM. I would boot it once and then flash the A1 kernel. After that its advisable to move the contents of the "0" folder back into the root (your pictures etc are not lost of course). Otherwise it might be confusing for some apps or yourself. You can use ES File Explorer for that (Cut & Paste). With Trickster Mod or any other tool, over clock it to 1400 or to your liking. But even at 1000 it runs great!
best battery for me

i have this kernel running from early editions and stopped at some version , don't know which ,

Well I chose the WiFi one for the Singapore model. As it was the singaporean model I bought.... Its a matter of your location and model wifi or wifi/3G which ROM you would chose.
No need to go back to ancient versions, i'm using this right now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510198
in addition with some overclock/nova/greenify premium and it is very fast, smooth and reliable, would totally recommend.
Still, I felt a bit sad about KitKat. Wasn't ART going to "make things easier" for low-specs/legacy devices? All i get is hiccups and bad performance :/

It's true, the tablet is faster and more stable with this rom than KK. I'm going to try it for a while
For mi the only problem is that contacts app doesn't load. I have an exchange account.

And that is even 4.1.2 which in my opinion has been one of the best performant and smooth version of Android.

Honeycomb is the only android version in our tab that can play smooth HD video from YouTube without a single lag.
And among those honeycomb Roms, galaxy task14 is the best.
By the way, omni ROM jelly bean is good, but not good enough to play HD YouTube.

Which recovery are you using??? Tried to flash this with twrp and no dice.....
In my case the P7500 (3g) I went for:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4/
All you need is there, the bootloader, the modem, the recovery.
All .tar.md5 files you flash them with Odin in "Download mode" - "(Volume down + Power) + Volume Up". Since I was fully on it I flashed them all one by one: bootloader, modem and recovery. (PDA button only!)
Once you have that flashed, from terminal you boot into recovery, select install from sideload and from your computer with the tablet connected you do:
adb sideload /your/path/to/cm-10-20130825-UNOFFICIAL-p4.zip (supposedly you have it downloaded somewhere when you reach this step )
Later on when you see the tablet boots normally and everything is alright, you can go to recovery again and install google apps for "CM10" not .1 or anything, CM10! which you can get from here:

I am not sure if this will work with Two. It certainly works perfectly with CWM Recovery it is actually right in the folder I pointed out. You should flash it via ODIN. if you do not know how to do this let me know and I will guide you.

My favorite rom is Brilliant Corners for stability. Check it out. Just google "Brilliant Corners gtab" and it will be the first result. Let me know what you think.
Stable roms.......
The earlier ROMS have the most stable and full features (but not the flashiness of ICS) including camera/skype etc plus they are REALLY fast..
check out Beasty/Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo Combo for example. It is VERY fast and everything works.
ICS is prettier and has some newer features but no camera (yet) and some small glitches.. If a camera/skype is not essential it is really worth trying. I can't see the value at this point of the honeycomb ROMS since ICS is out and has more of the same type of features... feel free to correct me if I am wrong

ics is good..:0
ICS really is good - aside from camera it is fast and pretty stable. It can slow down if you do too many things at once but generally it is also very smooth - if camera doesn't matter to you then you really should give it a shot.. as well try putting go launcher HD (made for tablets) - works and looks great. Once you use it its hard to go back ...

Camera functionality seems to be in only the Froyo ROMS. I had camera function on the Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final (bootloader 1.2 only) ROM. Just make sure which bootloader version you have.
That ROM kept giving me Force Close messages every month or so, so I would just restore NANDROID backups of a fresh install of the Calkulin+Clemsyn ROM.
Had a problem with the NANDROID the last time I started getting FCs (Force Closes).
So I switched to Team DRH's ICS Rom. (No Camera on this ROM) But everything else works well. ICS Roms are battery burners, so I plug this in at night time.

Thanks fosser2. I will check it out this wknd. Is it a gingerbread rom? And does camera work on it?
Just to give context of what I am trying to get, here's the background information:
I had HTC Thunderbolt and the stock Verizon ROM was really bad.
ISSUE: bad battery life, crashes, random reboots, etc.
SOLUTION: I tried MANY custom ROM and after a long time, found one that works great and stuck with it for months. Although I am OK installing custom ROM, but the journey of finding which one is right is NOT something I enjoy (multiple ROM, Kernel, tweaks, etc.)
Afterwards, I bought an International version of Galaxy Note, a CARRIER-UNLOCK phone with none of the carrier crap or firmware. The stock ROM works great, so much so I don't have to install a custom ROM
- ISSUE: NONE! Great battery life, really fast and buttery smooth
- SOLUTION: NONE!
Unfortunately, my International Note went defective and it was not covered under Samsung Warranty. Not wanting to go through the same non-warranty issue, I am planning to buy the AT&T version of the Note.
So my question is:
Using the STOCK AT&T ROM, do YOU get the following:
- Good battery life (at least 8 hours - I don't mind rooting and freezing some crap)
- Fast OS performance (not laggy, etc.)
- Stable OS
I don't care about ICS or what not, I just want something that works with the above.
I am just trying to figure out if I have to go through the same thing when I had my Thunderbolt (see above) or not.
It's sort of a subjective thing so you really need to try it out for yourself. That said, most users are reporting great results with the stock ROM.

Since you don't use custom ROM, which app do you use to control the CPU? CPURoot?
Also, is your Note stable and fast performance wise? I.e. playing 3D games doesn't stutter, opening large Word or Excel file is smooth, etc.
Set CPU and yes, it's very smooth and stable. The only game I had minor issues with was temple run. I haven't had a single problem since oc'ng. After root I flashed Da g's oc'd kernel.

Hey guys I just got NFS: Most Wanted on the ATT Note. The gameplay and the controls are great but the game sort runs in slowmo. Anybody else getting different performance in other ROMS?
I'm running flapjaxx's AOSP ICS rom W/ GPU OC and CPU OC. I assume the slowness is due to the Note's large resolution and it's not quite as optimized as it could be for our phones. It is smooth but just terribly slow.
UPDATE
OOOOKAY guys I am back with some interesting results!
I continued to try more roms and see the performance with Need for Speed Most Wanted. I first tried Flapjaxx's stock ICS rom with touchwiz with an overclock kernel and gpu OC. That ran better than any of the AOSP but still had some slowness to it.
Seeing as the stock roms tended to give more performance, I tried another stock rom. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766933. No OC kernel, everything stock pretty much. Here is what happened:
1. I restored NFS from titanium
2. NFS says this android is not compatible
3. I uninstall NFS and install it from the Playstore and redownload the SD data
4. Ran the game and observed that there was little to no lag! Well I'm sure it could be a bit better, the frame rate was totally playable and it actually felt speedy!
Now i'm not sure what is happening here. Either 1. the game downloaded a new SD data with lower graphics requirements, 2. the game recognized the device as a different device and choose the graphics setting accordingly, OR 3. the device just performs better @ mostly stock. Now can anybody inform me on how the SD Data actually works that would be great so I can pinpoint what it is.
My next test will be using the above rom that yielded good performance with flapjaxx's OC/GPU kernel to see if it speeds up the frames anymore.
UPDATE 2
After a bit more testing I see that without the OC kernel and using the kernel from 'better stock' ROM above, the road actually is missing some water and effects which is probably leading to the smoother gameplay! If anybody else is testing this let me know what your results are!
UPDATE 3
Trying out flappjaxx's Jelly Bean rom with his GPUOC and CPUOC. No surprise there, graphics got bumped up.
What I did notice is that there is almost NO DIFFERENCE in frames (from what I could see) from Stock rom + AOSP/JB roms with OC kernel in BUMPER CAMERA MODE despite the higher graphics. To be clear, those of you on AOSP that are already using bumper mode will not get higher frames in bumper mode on something like a stock rom. There is little to no difference in bumper modes. Should be all that I can test now. I will be sticking with this Jellybeanie and playing NFS in bumper camera mode myself (in car view).
EA, give us graphic options. That is all.
UPDATE 4
In conclusion:
Game is somehow determining the graphics through the kernel
SD Data downloaded is the same on every rom, don't have to download new SD Data.
Some roms perform better than others. I had a lot of luck with Jelly Bean roms on stock kernel, no need to overclock.
Figured I'd give you guys a ranking list from roms. Going from best to worst
1. Latest Jelly Bean Nightly 11/21 Stock Kernel - Great out of car and even faster in car - graphics medium
2. Flapjaxx's FJ Stock Rom Mod - OCGPU/CPU best performance (in car view only) - graphics high
3. Electro's Stock Rom - Stock Kernel with no OC Okay performance in both out of car view and in car view - graphics medium
im running AOPK milestone 1, You can kinda play the game....but all the cars are black the buildings are black and the road is black....Not really sure what is going on! but I do get the slowmo at first but after I go to the menu and go back to playing the game it starts to run smoothly....in black that is!
I noticed the slowness as well, I switched to the in car view and it runs much better. Give that a try...

Ditto, switching to in-car view is definitely a lot smoother, has decent graphics but looks like the limit of S3 Adreno 225 chip has been reached, this (and other games of similar graphic quality) may be enough reason for me to upgrade to note 2 later. I also have slow down problem with NBA 2K13.
No real graphic glitch however, if you see missing textures it has to be wrong sd data, remember we are Snapdragon NOT Mali.
Im on liquid RC7 with KK.12 kernel no overclocking and the game seems to run fine for me with no lags..however Tomdg07 is right its a battery hog which quite frankly isnt a surprise. I just got off a 30 minute subway ride and I was playing it the entire time..used up exactly 20% of the battery.

Yes indeed no lag at all - Liquid is a jellybeanie you can find it in the original development thread. To be honest I havent had the need to try in car view because the out car view has been working fine.
I should mention though that whilst I have not over clocked I am using several build prop tweaks some of which Im sure optimize graphics and what not.

Just tried NFS Most Wanted on Liquid with KK Kernel and no luck. I even tried some build prop tweaks. It just feels too slow. Weird.
Going to try deleting it and redownloading the SD Data instead of restoring it from Titanium. Will report back with results.
EDIT: No go either. Still low frame rates. On a good note however, Liquid Jellybean Rom is probably the most stable of the Jellybeanies.

Tried the OC Kernel on the stock ROM which lead it to being slow again! I'm not sure now what to think. Going to wipe and go back to the 'better stock' kernel not the 'pure stock'.

Agreed. Right now there is no way to change graphics quality. Certainly would save me trouble. What I think is happening is that with some Roms and Kernels the game thinks we have higher hardware and cranks up the graphic quality thus slowing down the performance of the game.
What I found is every time I used an OC kernel of some type, the game slows. So it might be a kernel issue.
I just cant comprehend why despite having the same phone and same setup (i.e. rom, kernel etc) we get totally different results.
PS> Tomdg07 props to your state for pushing obama over the 270 he needed to win. Americans totally made up for giving dubya two terms.
I was testing some more Roms yesterday including Black IV and Electro's stock debloated Rom. Black IV had flapjaxx's kernel with the ability to OC and on the Electro was not OCable.
My results were the same. Something about flapjaxx's kernel or kernels with the ability to OC makes the game bump up in graphics thus making it slower. The game must be scanning the clockspeed or something or maybe it's something deeper than that. If I can I want to test out AOSP roms again to see if its the kernel or both the kernel + the rom.
Trying out flappjaxx's Jelly Bean rom with his GPUOC and CPUOC. No surprise there, graphics got bumped up.
What I did notice is that there is almost NO DIFFERENCE in frames (from what I could see) from Stock rom + AOSP/JB roms with OC kernel in BUMPER CAMERA MODE despite the higher graphics. To be clear, those of you on AOSP that are already using bumper mode will not get higher frames in bumper mode on something like a stock rom. There is little to no difference in bumper modes. Should be all that I can test now. I will be sticking with this Jellybeanie and playing NFS in bumper camera mode myself (in car view).
EA, give us graphic options. That is all.

I saw that it takes up 3GB of internal space, and my S2 has 16...I'm currently running PACman ROM, and wanted to try out ChameleonOS while still keeping the former available for use. Would anyone like to help out with their opinions? Would performance and/or battery life be affected?
link to kernel page on xda
PS: I've checked, and the kernel is compatible with my ROM
No.

actually , u only got 10GB of about 16 GB , 6GB probally for ROM, i dont know why ,but when i flashed any rom , and checked my internal space , its only about 10~ 11 GB .
About dual-boot, there no needed to dual-boot , cause like Laptop, we can use 2 diffirent windows at the same time , but its a waste of time .

Why the heck not!!
I'm dual booting CM10-Skank (4.1.1) & MIUI V4 (4.0.3)
Siyah - 3 - v4.0.1
I like MIUI coz radio/call record/file explorer/music/themes - pretty much most of it...
But, I'm also really enjoying CM10-Skank!!
& now I can have both!! reboot and home button & I'm using MIUI (2nd rom)...
or just reboot and I'm using CM10-Skank...
Have a play & enjoy dual booting!

Yesterday I took ph off charger @ 7am in the morning. I still had 70% charge left @ 8pm. 2000mah battery & UV -25. Best JB battery life I've ever had. Plus cm10 skank 4.1.1 is as smooth as anything else I've used. Of course kernel+script(s)+tweaks help a bit.
NB, the camera in skank had the cm bug of black edges in view finder... Changed it out for 4.2 camera.

Daul booting is very good for testing ROMs.I dual boot(see signature),because I like more AOSP based ROMs and their UI,but I also use MHL HDMI,for which I need Chameleon ROM.
@King_Rat: That's amazing battery life for a CM!
Thanks again to everyone, I'll do this tomorrow.

Combo of kernel+rom+extweaks settings I guess :good:
Skank roms are pretty solid, but not too flashy... I'll take battery life over bells & whistles 9x's outa 10
Hi guys, I'm searching for a rom which works great with games, any ideas?
No one is going to answer you because of the rules. I'm trying to find it to for the last six months. In my opinion is best if you have some knowledge if you don't you will have to read for a while, to use you latest stock rom. But you will have to deodex it, zipallighn it, apply the modes you like from other rom if there are some and remove the bloatwear not all just the one that is safe to remove and you don't need. And perhaps replace touchwiz with nova launcher. It's just that here are very sensitive on questions about best rom. For the past six months I've downloaded a lot of roms and after a while having problems with all of them- here I mean problems with playing games. And till now the best experience I had was with stock rom but then I was missing some futures, mods from others. So only solution as I don't wanna search for another 6 monts is make my own. By the way the qiestion is not which is the best rom but which is the best for games or in other words on which rom I'll have no or less problems but stil for here is like you ask which is the best.
So make your own rom deodex and zipallighn for speed, remove the app you don't need because most of the bloatwear has running processes all the time so you can have more free ram and then if you want some extra mods.
I hope this is helpful although it mean you have a lot to read if you are new at that.
As previously stated, stock roms are the best all rounders and in my opinion much better than custom roms hands down.
As soon as you root a samsung you can expect performance issues. Had the same problem on all 3 samsung devices I've owned. This led me to not touch my htc m9 at all as far as mods go..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Thanks for an answer.
I've used a lot of roms too, I've been changing them every week and I'm really enjoying ArchiDroid with android 5.1.1. I'm definitely going to try installing latest stock and doing what you told me to, I never liked stocks though.

I can't live without root, I'm using a lot of tweaks and rooted apps. Stock roms were always laggy and slow for me, maybe I just can't use them properly.
Stock ROMs are laggy on legacy devices.
New devices works perfectly good on Stock ROMs. This is why they have lesser Custom ROMs and older devices still has some ongoing developments.
I've never had any performance issue after rooting my Sonys and Samsungs. I always had better performance and recommend custom ROMs because they work better for me. Please bear in mind that my latest device is the S3 which has 1GB RAM while other new phones are going 4GB so my opinion only stops here : On old devices. On new devices , I've played with my friends Note 3 alot and we reached a conclusion that it works flawless even on Stock ROM.
For a gaming ROM , I would suggest ArchiDroid if you are going CM. Latest Archidroid Lollipop works flawlessly for me (Even while using Chrome with 11 Tabs. No lags and reloads while switching tabs). Runs NFS:Most Wanted , Cyrus and alot other major games that I've tested run on full FPS without a single lag. However , Hearthstone will never work good on S3 even on this magnificent ROM. Go for Archidroid for both KitKat and Lollipop if you want Performance. Go for Temasek (Darkened's build) if you want balanced Performance , customization and slightly better Battery life. Other ROMs work too , they may have more customization (Blisspop) etc but I did not list them because they are too heavy for a Gaming ROM In my opinion. AOKP KitKat is also a fair choice to go for.
For Touchwiz Based ROMs, I would say LukeROM. Install without Bloat and enjoy a smooth ROM even on stock kernel and no Greenify. NFS:Most Wanted , Cytus and other major games that I've tested also runs on full FPS without lag. It also has stock Camera and Note 4 Multiwindow that allow floating app like Messenger Chat Head. However , Chrome makes this ROM die on stock kernel. 4 or 5 tabs and it starts reloading when switching tabs. NeatROM Lite is also a good choice if you're fine with Android 4.3 and a Bluetooth Bug where NFC gets turn on too when you connect to a Bluetooth device. (Might be device specific bug since I don't see a lot of comments about that bug). Blekota's S5 Lite ROM with Boeffla kernel and Speed Mod also works flawless. Check my post on that thread for tutorial.(Posted few months back)
These are my personal experience with various ROMs for I9300. I've flashed almost every ROM that came to XDA and a few other Chinese forums since January 2014 and these are my conclusions. Please bear in mind that the same ROM might perform differently for different users with different usage and settings. Have a nice day
@conanDO98 Thanks for an answer, you just put everything in a whole new light to me. I'm on Luke's rom for like an hour now, it works great. But i do have a question, you said "no greenify", may I ask why? I always thought it's good for performance.
I have 550 free ram running cm 12(gaaps pico installed)now looking for a custom kernel to overclock...can u sugest me one?
@nolitooo When I was on cm12 I was using an ArchiKernel, it worked great. There's always boeffla kernel, with boeffla config app, try them both and pick your best

I'm sorry. By no greenify I mean I did not install Greenify on that ROM.
I suggest flashing Boeffla 7.9 on Luke ROM because after flashing I find the ROM smoother and Chrome works better
@conanDO98 I'm gonna flash it now and see how it works
I've tried archdroid it's not that it wasn't good just searching for better. I play a lot call of duty heroes which is laggy with all the roms i've tried so far but with most of them after a few days the game starts to crash, to close by itself but I don't need a rom that I need to restart every few hours or every day.
I'll try Luke Rom in a few days and will see if it's better. I guess that part of the problem is that most of the time I have installed around 80 apps by me. Some games, for alarm, calculator, apps like facebook, line, soundhound, xposed with some mods and others.
About the kernel I like boeffla with his options but for some reason I have less apps closing by itself with stock.

I think stock roms are better for gaming, I play a lot of games, I was using cm12.1 and archidroid for few months and gaming was nice, but not what I was looking for. Now I'm on Luke ROM with boeffla 7.9 and gaming is so much better then on lollipop. I haven't played CoD Heroes though.
I did try the Luke rom but after a few days had some problems with some games, back on stock and all perfect. Now just have to download some tools and have free time and will deodex and zipaligh it. And some other mods if I find some good.
