The GPE ROM from Dan is great, along with some kernel tweaks from kToonz alot of people have been saying great things.

I had wakelock issues with the GPE. The CM one worked better. My default is OctOS, which is actual AOSP-built and not CM-built and basically wakelock-free. All the CM-based ROMs (besides Dan's - he's working off an old milestone) have had actual functionality issues over the last 1-2 months because of upstream changes from the CM side, so I would avoid those or use older stabler builds.

Most effective but Most Stable Rom

Hey..just looking for opinions on what you guys think is the most stable and effective rom? I have been flashing sense 5 roms and cm.10 aosp roms. I prefer cm.10 i just cannot handle the bugs right now or things half working. So im just wondering what your opinions are for the most stable rom with great battery life would be? At least until all the bugs are worked out in other roms...
Oh and i have the dna w/ s-off, currently running viper. Not getting good battery life and getting many force closes with several apps

Bring on the comments please. Moonshine S-Off for me soon, Hopefully.
One of the Sense based ROM's will be the most stable and fully functional. If you want to venture out more then there are several AOSP based roms that are at about 95% functional.
Viper and newts sense 5 are generally considered the 'best' roms.

Was Newts Sense5 Rom not working out for you? I found that to be the most stable.
PAC rom by pio. Best features, no ugly sense framework.
I used to run Newt's Sense 5 rom. That, coupled with Zarbos' kernel (badass governor I think?) was very stable and had great battery life.
As of right now I'm running Flyhalf's CM 10.1 rom. No issues so far, but according to the thread some people are having random issues.
I gotta say Viper.lots of tweeks and customization and super stable!
Good Question. I plan on flashing Newt.s Sense 5 ROM when we get Moonshine but I;d prefer CM10.1.
The thing is I've read photos taken with CM are noticeably worst than Sense on the One, plus I played with it on a Note 2 and noticed that and the screen looked much worst. Can anyone say how CM stacks up in those areas?
I'm running Hatka Supreme Sense 5 rom. Seems to have the best balance of stability, speed and customization. Also battery life is great.
Just ran CM10 for the weekend to weigh it. Only real complaint was Bluetooth quality, which was a killer for me . Back on viper.

I've been running cm 10.1 for the last month. Sadly it's not the most stable ROM, yet. Thanks to the brilliant and hard work of chad, it's getting there. I have no doubt it will.
Until then I'd have to say the most stable rom at this point is newts sense 5.

Recommandation for good Rom with Webtop\HDMI and good Battery

the best is to test it by myself and look.
But i am tired of looking and testing ROM's and it seems that a lot of them does not have the Webtop for my mdeia stations (AOKP | CyanogenMod...).
I am happy when i get your recommandations which i could test.

Yes,I agree...The Stock ROMS provide better battery life and Way better stability than 4.2.2 roms...
These roms are more stable and will help you when you're on the GO...
4.2.2 roms are good no doubt in that but they take time to settle in and eventually all of them LAG with 1000Mhz(1GHZ- underclocking) freq and drain battery terribly with default 1200mhz(1.2GHZ) frequency!

I have tried almost every ROM out there for many days and tried and tested them...
Not that 4.2.2. roms are bad or anything but
I get a Battery backup of 23hrs straighton jb 4.1.2 ROM called as DSEA/DSEA LE/WDSEA
You should try them...You'll know the difference!
Try this one. Use the blur version. I feel this is the most balanced ROM with battery and performance.

With the Chinese Firmware the turkish guy wrote :
"My experiences with this device for 19 months since 11-2011, i can say xt910 is reborn like a beast with CHINA firmware. It has become that phone i always imagined before i bought it. Device acts much better, it gets better network and data connection compared to stock EMEA 4.1.2 firmware as well as better WIFI connection. There're also many advantages of CHINA 4.1.2 firmware compared to Stock EMEA or LATAM, Verizon 4.1.2 builds like 9.3gb internal memory,call recording,better battery consumption, 3D and media performance. I tried nearly all of the roms for xt910 and decided to settle with this rom, that's why i am posting this for all of you."
but i am a little bit careful and will wait what experiences the others have.. I will keep this in mind, thanks also for this hint..:fingers-crossed:
yes, i have an XT910 , i will see if Aviator will work it...
okay guys,
Aviator Rom is not running on my XT910 (also with the kernel pathes) ;(
Artmod ROM is the replacement from DSEA/DSEA LE/WDSEA , I flashed it again with undervolt, but battery drain is not really better and my webtop cursor is a big big jelly bean ;(

CrDroid with crpalmer's kernel. Blazing fast with awesome battery life
Sent from my crDroid DNA
I've been switching back and forth between NOS's GPE and a few different aosp Roms (running Vanir ATM). The customization of aosp Roms is awesome, but the performance and screen-on time just isn't up to par with sense based Roms so I go back and forth a lot. Too bad we can't have the best of both worlds, but GPE+xposed modules is about as close as it gets.

Carbon has been my daily driver until just recently as pio isn't actively developing it anymore. Hopefully he will come back to it when the time is right, but in the meantime I've been bouncing around all over between Sense and AOSP...flashed Viper 2.0 and ran it all day yesterday and it's pretty close to the customization I was used to with Carbon and PAC, and it was nice to have full speaker volume for a change. But right now I'm flashing crDroid and will probably spend a little time playing with Beanstalk today too.
When picking a ROM, my main concern is whether or not it will still be supported a week from now. With a lot of the AOSP roms for the DNA, it looks like each developer is building and supporting three or four roms, and in some cases stop building/supporting an older rom when they have three or four new ones to compile.
Because of this I stick to CM (or really any other rom with a full team behind it who releases regular builds).
I just switched back to AOSP from ViperDNA and had a good run with that.

None of the roms which i build has been abandoned. If they have been abandoned its due to the fact that their main team has stopped developing like jellybeer, uXylon etc.

Oh I wasn't referring to anyone in particular! I've just had a bad history on other devices of independent devs losing interest over time. I'm actually on Gummy right now and thoroughly enjoying it. I just tend to stick to "official" roms since they get updated daily, lol.

Do you elaborating on GPE + xposed...I love the carbon rom and would love to increase the volume and I am getting frustrated.
I know AOSP roms have bugs. But why is it that I cannot use my voip apps on my phone whenever I have anything AOSP on it?? Is there something I'm missing?? Like changing settings somewhere?? My main complain with AOSP are the constant crashes, and that it renders my voip apps useless. Also, in my experience battery life was poor in AOSP and most of the feature rich sense based roms. I'm currently running DNA-Super-Digital rom on my phone. It's not fancy but at least it is very stable and offers a good battery life. I wish there were more stable roms with good battery life like it.

Xposed frameworks basically lets you modify apk's on the fly as if the functionality was built into the ROM, I think that's the best way to explain it. Right now I'm using xposed framework with gravitybox (various mods similar to what you find in aosp Roms), xblast tools (same type of thing), xposed statusbar mods (self-explanatory), xposed app settings (per-app DPI/permissions), and xtheme engine (let's you use cm10 themes, although they have to be pre-modified to work with xtheme). Here is the thread for xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 installation instructions are in the thread, and all of the modules I mentioned are available through the app.

Jammiethemorris answered the question about xposed framework. Regarding the volume, xposed framework doesn't fix that. All CM-based roms have low speaker volume because the amplifier is not working correctly. So I switched to the GE rom which is Sense-based and therefore doesn't have the low volume problem. The GE rom looks very much like AOSP but doesn't have options to tweak it, hence the need for xposed framework which allows you to tweak he look and feel of the rom.

You're gonna find a lot of "feature rich" roms here. I tried them all. Even CM10 based roms. I was disappointed with each and every one of them. Almost all of them had bugs. These bugs might not seem significant to many of the people, but somehow they used to bug me the most because they were in the tasks which I used most. Battery life in almost all of the roms is just horrible. I was so disappointed with the roms here that I started spending more time on my Sammy note 8" and was contemplating changing my phone. I installed DNA-Super-Digital-2.07.605.1 710RD-v.1.0 as a last effort at using my phone at work rather than using my tablet as a phone. It's not one of those fancy roms, but trust me it's stable, gives the best performance and with awesome battery life. I don't know if it'll improve data speeds but I get constant 4G speeds all the time. Thanks MicroMod777 for this simple and stable rom

all CM based ROMs will have near the same radio performance. Also, I don't know when you've tried them, but most of the ROMs that are synched up with the current CM repo have very few bugs left.
if you're looking for the best radio performance i suggest sticking with sense, if you want a whole new (and in my opinion better) experience go with an AOSP (or CM) based ROM.
just remember to do a nandroid before flashing so you can always come back to what you had before if you're not happy

Coming from a Razr Maxx (3300 mAh), I feel extra sensitive to battery life between ROMs on the DNA(2050 mAh). But my experience had been quite opposite from yours...I get much better battery life on most CM-based roms when compared with Sense roms. I have the best luck with Slim rom, and Carbon - although carbon isn't actively built anymore. But Viper 2.0 (Sense 5) has been pretty impressive as well.
It's completely a personal choice. Do a full backup, flash an AOSP, back it up, try a Sense rom, rinse and repeat. New roms and rom updates are coming all the time.
