Hello,
I found similar thread, but last post was almost 2 years ago.
So, I am asking what are actual benefits of installing CM or AOSP rom compared to stock one?
The next thing, are there some major bugs in non-stock roms?
I am not asking which of rom is best or better than another, I just want to know about comparison and benefits.
Stock has the better side for battery but aosp/cm/aokp has no lag.
Go for a stock custom ROM like alliance ROM ect ect..
They have the look of aokp/cm but keep the great battery life.
you can do a lot of customization on AOSP rom......
plus there is some nice new feature you can try out.....
CM is ok for daily use.....

Which roms (or rom families, really) are best for which purposes? I know some are designed to be fast and lightweight, while others go for the richest user experience, or other specialized purpose/situation.
My question is how can I find out the aim of the various roms?
The rom threads focus mostly on features provided and what rom family (if any) they based it on. Since I have no idea the aim of the original rom family (aokp, cm, miui, etc.) it's hard to decide which one is right for me.
Which player do you have?

Stock ROMs, which most of the customs ROMs out there are based on, are probably the most stable but the performance won't be as good.
CM7 and CM9 are slim and super fast, while MIUI, which is Cyanogen-based, has a bit more eye candy at the cost of performance. AOKP is very similar to CM9, except as far as I know the team has added many tweaks and features to make the experience more pleasant. Both are good choices if you're looking for ICS.
Hope this clears up some of the questions you may have
Thanks, Klin. That's exactly the sort of info I'm looking for.
and I'm running the USA 5.0, fgcu. It was either this or an ipad, and avoiding itunes was worth the extra $20 (ipods were on sale that week).
If you are looking to install a rom, I recommend what I have listed down below. The dev of the rom is currently updating it to 2.3.6 and I can't wait for it. It will deffinitely fix the wifi drop bug and a slightly better Gingerbread version. You do need to install a custom rom though and the one below is also a good one too.

This was my rom of choice back when I was running GB. In my opinion it is the most stable rom available for the Player 5.0. This rom is pretty fast and light as it is based on a stock GB rom.
I would also recommend this rom as it is also very stable.
For general use I would say use GB as everything works, but you can also get ICS roms if you want but all of the ICS roms in the development section have pretty major issues e.g. the camera does not work. Take a look in the development section and read the user comments/reviews/bug reports
Hi all,
I keep reading but I don't seem to find a definite answer for this question. I read somewhere that because of i9300 processor (samsung didn't reveal the codes or sth) the performance and battery life on Custom ROM based on AOSP and CM is not as satisfactory as Stock or Touch-wiz based roms.
Is this true? I love to use CM but the battery indeed seems to drain faster. Any idea of when i9300 users might get to use solid AOSP or CM based ROMs?
Thanks mates!
I am curious about this too. It seems that AOSP ROMS will always be imperfect as long as the Exynos codes arent released.

I have messed around with a few ROMS (mainly sammy based one's) and using a SAMMY ROM with a new launcher is a strong base.
Why not start by finding a good sammy based ROM (i'm using Viking ROM although may switch to HyperLight) get a nice setup, then you can simply backup and mess with ASOP & CM yourself knowing you have a rock solid alternative to fall back on.
You can make up your own mind then ^^

Cm10 is rock stable and has better battery life than sammy. (For me) but camera has some problems. Just try it. You can always revert it to sammy

CM10 is still nightly build right? I tried some ROMs like slimbean and liquid smooth but the battery performance is significantly not as good as stock. Am i right?
Yes right...
The stock ROM gives awesome battery life...
I tried CM10 but it seems to drain battery faster...i mean not that faster...
On my galaxy sl i9003 you cant even imagine what actually battery drain is....
Life 7hrs and gone but on my S3 the battery is OK about a day or day and a half and still 34% left !!

Wah. A day and a half??? I can't even achieve it with stock rom. What kind of tweaks do you use?
I just rooted a while ago and have just been flashing ROM this and that. Have never tried custom kernels or mods.
Would love to hear some tweaks that will last me 1.5 days with CM10. haha. Share with me bro.
If you can tolerate the few minor issues/glitches here and there, nothing beats CM10.

okay. So i do not need any kernel and tweaks for excellent battery life is it?
tried so often cm9&cm10, lately slimbean.
was AOSP fan on my desire, but not on the s3 (yet)
none of them made me stick to AOSP for more than 1week...
too many "bugs" - minor things who annoyed me like: **** camera&video (unstable), battery life, calling bugs (low voice volume) etc
ive to admit that slimbean + siyah kernel beats everything, the battery life is rly nice (nearly liek sammy roms). siyah kernel helps alot concerning the battery life on AOSP!
still ive to use a sammy rom cuz of stability and reliability.
id look forward to a fully working AOSP rom, hopefully soon.

What good is a ROM that is stable (as in doesn't crash) but ISN'T fully functional (as in has issues w/ hardware) ?
I want a ROM that is both stable and fully functional, even if it isn't the benchmark champion.
For me, the stock ROMs offer the best of the 2 worlds: they are stable and functional.
Yeah, let the flame start, but I am yet to see an AOKP/AOSP/CM ROM that doesn't have a single issue with hardware.
So, stock ROMs for me are the winner.
I use NOVA Launcher Prime, BTW, but the TouchWiz that came with today's stock JB (France, XEF) is extremely fast and as customizable as Nova Launcher.

There is miui rom that offers sammy+miui experience. I think it's called rayglobe, but it's based on 4.0.4 so it is never as smooth as jb

Witch one of latest custom ROMs for GT I9300 is best for you? From my device I want stable, smooth, without lags, crash, freezes daily use. Battery drain, for me is most important to last one day, until I went to sleep. If you can help me to find some ROMs like that that would be awsome.I used CyanogenMod, is there any better than this one? Also I used Revolutionary S5 and couple of more but this two I used most. What you think of all this ROMs on forum witch one is best? Thabk you for help
Just read the rules first..
No best ROM threads allowed at xda..

As kunal said. There is no best rom. I use a stock rom with agni kernel and lots of xposed modules. It's a good all rounder and it works for me.
The stock roms are workhorses and do the job very well but some people just like the option to change stuff even though they don't actually need it. I overclocked but figured I don't need a hand warmer until winter. Stock roms do well at the standard 1.4Ghz.
Go any higher than 4.3 and the issues will become more common as this device was never designed for 4.4 and custom roms usually don't use any samsung code.
Best to look at it like this: stability/little to no customising vs not so stable/very customisable. Stock or custom roms respectively.

Try BlissPop, this is best room ever
Always keep this in mind:
Stock Samsung ROMs
Pros:
Stable!
Better Camera support
Better Bluetooth, WiFi Direct and AllShare support
Much much more battery friendly than AOSP based ROMs
Cons:
No updates (last Android version 4.3)
Worse performance compared to a "Properly" tweaked AOSP ROM
AOSP ROMs
Pros:
Latest Updates
Responsive and has a great performance (I repeat only on "Properly" tweaked ROMs)
More useful features than stock Samsung based ROMs
Cons
Camera not as good as on stock Samsung based ROMs
Samsung features won't work on AOSP based ROMs
Worse battery
This should give you a general idea on the differences between the two.
There's nothing as a BEST ROM! Every ROM works differently for every user since each user has different uses for the phone.
What is the best and why it is the best for you?
Pac man.. It's smooth, fast and has all the handy features of all other roms (except multi window)

there isn't something like best rom, every mod is different. It depends on what do you need.
PAC-Rom has a lot of cool stuff from others ROM, it's super customizable.
Hi!
I'm going to hijack this thread because I have a really similar question.
My girlfriend owns the XT1527 and it was still on 5.0.2. Her phone is slow and unstable. She agreed to try a custom ROM hoping it would help since she knows I've been using them for a while on my Nexus 4. She's not looking into having any kind of new features. All she really wants is the phone to be a little more responsive and stable. Actually I already flashed PAC-ROM on it a few hours ago since it seemed to be a quite popular option around here. Is that ROM a good choice or is there another one out there that is known to be quite stable even if there are less features?
Also, while I already have experience with flashing ROMs on my previous Nexus phones, I never messed with Kernels. I've seen a few people suggesting squid2's Kernel around here. Is it required? What effect will it have on the phone?
Thank you
imo aosp + squid kernel will be better option. It's preatty fast, and everything works. It hasn't got any custom features.
