I am using stock rom on i9300 and really getting tired of its ****. I don't care about how it looks, I just want the fastest rom. What is it?
Roms are like people everyone prefers different ones, the only way to find the best one for you is to try some.
Slimkat ROM strikes the balance between stability, easy on system resources and features. Give it a try!

I come from the i9000 and on my good old i9000 I used Juwe's rom, and that was good, but in here, there is a lot of active developing, and its been a bit hard to see which are truly the best roms. Can anyone tell me which are the best roms, cleanest, with the most battery life and with no extra bugs in comparison to the stock roms. I've been eyeing the GingerMOD. I've always wanted the stock android experience, but way too much content has been wiped and it worries me. So, recommend me a rom!
Stock Ki3 would suit you best because the stock ROM is perfect if you like the stock experience however if you like to have the freedom of adding/removing themes, apps and tweaks then Revolution ROM is definitely the most popular ROM at the moment for that because of the Kitchen App and constant support
Villain ROM was by far the best ROM I used prior to changing to Revolution and it looks and feels very stock.
I believe any ROM using Ki3 firmware will have the best battery life it is just a preference over which kernel might provide added savings
For me stock xxki3 is the best. I also use ragemod kernel which extends battery life considerably.
The new Batista rom is worth a look very nice smooth and battery lifes great.

I higly recommend checkROM, everything works, its close enough to stock but has jkay for themes and extended power menu. checkROM and revolution are supposed to be teaming up so you can expect even more awesomeness.

There is no such thing as a "best" ROM.
What's right for someone else may not be right for you. Trial and error are your friends.
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, I'm wondering which rom you suggest I flash to my nexus 4 device. Paranoid android, or Cyanogenmod?
What I care most about is, battery life and performance. I don't really care about customization.
Which one is better in your opinion? :]
Thank you so much!

CM12 has a priceless feature of privacy, they perform more or less the same.. Take a look at custom kernels for your device - as those will give you best battery, performance or both - depending on what you need.
I'm personally using CM. Not sure about which one performs better, but I like cm because it gives me the features I want, without cluttering the ROM with features I'll never use. PA and other ROMs are based of cm, so they normally have more stuff than cm, and it just ends up getting annoying. With cm, most of the options are set good to go, so u just need to change a few, like stock, but with a few very unobtrusive additions that are integrated into the system really good. Take for example, root. It's part of privacy guard instead of superuser, which is integrated very well into the os. I haven't really used PA, so I suggest you try both and come to your own conclusion.
If you just want performance, then I'd go with a close to aosp rom.
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.
Guys , could anyone make a custom rom with a stock rom of j2 or anyother that can perorm more faster and with better battry life and stable rom while giving the android N features? it will be a great pleasure to all samsung j5 users.
there's a rom made from j2.but its not stable. and with another one with a5 but it lacks performance. there are others many cutom roms but i prefer the way of stock roms of samsung. could anyone develop or remake a one???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
search for resurrection remix rom
Yah i tried that. but i dont like that much. speed and features wise its good. but im looking for a one with a more likely interface with samsung stock roms.
have you ever used j2ux rom? its great with speed and bttry. but not stable. there are bugs. after V3 it stopped developing. im looking a one like that,
i have also used skies rom. thats bit slow.
and also a5ux rom also good. when doing 2 , 3 tasks its getting laggy. and also in gaming game freezes at times.
So any idea?
it will be better if anyone can develop the j2ux rom for more extend by adding some features and fixing bugs,
thank you btw.
