I've been using cm11 kitkat for almost a year now and I decided to update to the latest android version. But when I use cm12, my phone overheats and the result is bad battery life. I don't have this problem while using custom tw roms like blekota and s5 sensation. So my question is... does any of you guys have this problem? Maybe it's a hardware problem, but I surely doubt it.
I know that you can't compare roms here on xda but which one (cm12) have YOU had succés with.
Thanks, rob

@Roobwz: saw your post in Blisspop. I never had this heating on Nameless, Slim, Euphoria, crDroid, Paranoid. But if you search for this item, you'll find more posts… Maybe it's (again) caused by various hardware components. Best SOT and smoothness I get on Euphoria & Boeffla 4.0 alpha6 (zzmoove, battery plus), so try it. And if you surf on Chrome, try a lite browser, too. Good luck.

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.

Hi, just wanted to know if i have the same application, the same usage with CM 10.1 and Stock lastest Sammy rom, which would give me more battery life ? :angel:
How much aproximatively would it be different if so ?
Samsung would be better.....10-20%
I keep reading of people using the phone while browsing for +4h of screen or surfing the web for 2h on 4G and still having 70% left of battery life.
This is all stock ROMs. From my usage this would be impossible, I'm using cm10.1 and on 3g I could probably go to 2h screen on but that's it.
I'm starting to think that maybe aosp roms don't even come close to stock ROMs (which I never tried though).
Some experiences between roms and battery life?
Yeah I agree that stock seems better than aosp based. Even using similar kernels (perseus on stock v devil on aosp)

I sold my Note II yesterday and i was looking for a good stock Google smartphone. I owned a G2 for a week and I remember it had a brilliant battery life, but i don't like the LG OS. I heard about a good development scene about stock-based ROMs like Cyanogen. Is that true?
On Note II, because of the Exynos CPU and some lack of development support from Samsung, Cyano ROMs were just a mixed bag of experience. There are some minor issues everywhere and the 2-days battery life of the samsung ROM is impossible to get on CM.
So, i'm looking for a G2 for a quick CM 11 flash. Do you think it's a good idea?
I'm also considering a OnePlus One, but the invitation thing is a bit annoying and i don't think it will be easy to get one.

If you're entirely bothered about AOSP, I'd go for the Nexus 5 or HTC One GPE. If you had asked me yesterday I'd have said AOSP roms are still a bit buggy with issues but I put on OmniRom last night - it really seems the best of the bunch at the moment! Not had any issues at all (But I've only been using it properly for 12 hours or so).

Yeah, but what about battery life?
I'm ok with the 2-days of moderate usage of the Note, and i heard that Nexus 5 and the One M7 aren't very good on battery life.
I used to be on CM 10.2 stable and everything worked fine. Then I wanted to try Kit Kat, but CM 11 was pretty unstable for me (I think I tried the M4 build).
I decided to give stock another try since LG released their KK firmware. I used to own a Nexus 4 and still prefer AOSP, but you can get LG stock close to AOSP.
I use Nova Launcher and with G2 Tweakbox (Xposed) you can switch the ugly LG quicksettings with the AOSP one. CloudyStock 2.0 ROM allows you to remove LG 's bloatware during installation.
There is a GPE ROM for the lg g2.

+1 here, im also using stock kk+nova and deleted bloated apps using TB Pro + using some kernels available(using simple kernel default settings, smooth and battery friendly or if dori's kernel is updated to stable) works perfectly and smooth for me. It gives me 3days of usage when I turn my phone useless and 1 day if I play games for hours which is normal.
CM11 nightlies have been perfectly stable for me over the past 2-3 weeks

With KK sources released, we should have stable builds.
Although honestly I am loving stock 4.4.2 + root + xposed. I've never used a stock rom longer then a week before. Been running stock since November. Simply amazing.

Agreed. Well, Stock + Root + Xposed + Nova Prime + Simple Kernel (underclocked to 1.728ghz) and a lot of bloat frozen/deleted is about as perfect as I have had the phone running. Battery life is excellent for me (40-45 hours with 5% battery left. 60% permanent screen brightness. 5-7 hours screen on time).

do check out the g2 dev forums for the available roms. personally i'm using mahdi rom and ehndroix before that. They are both SUPERB imo.
if battery life's what you're concerned about, for myself the roms average drains around from 100 percent to 70 percent in average of 12hours? (as i'm a light user).
in comparison to nexus 5 and htc, i'm almost definite that the battery capacity on g2 outclasses them both. so battery wise, g2 is good choice. Since my purchase of the phone in november, the dev for roms has been increasing steadily.
G2's definitely worth a consideration
Omni ROM is great for me obviously it's not CM but its got loads of options and is stable as can be really. Just had to change the low memory killer to medium with kernel tweaker but otherwise running as provided.

How much did you used it? Because on every aosp i have installed i got allways reboot problems... Now I'm on stock modded lighting rom is fast like aosp and i have call record also on bluetooth, something that on aosp is missed. But i have to say that those kk stock rom from lg are bugged because you can't disable obexmaptransaction (the bluetooth sms sharing thing) and it drian more battery than JB when paired in car. I use the phone for work so if i have to say wich is the best atm for me is stock JB but KK is lot more snappier, so i'm using this, because i have read somewhere that LG is going to push an OTA to fix those small issue.
Another problem on stock is that when you have to save a contact by default the phone use internal memory and not the Google account, so every time i have to select my account. I hate this because you cant edit wich accounts have to be the default one.
Sorry for my english, i hope to have given an idea based on my personal experience with the roms out there for the D802.
The aosp I have tried past 3 days are: Slimkat, Paranoid and Mahdi both unstable for my use for the frequent reboots...

Yeah, on the Note2 side of the forum there's a bunch of users that say "this nightly is perfect, this custom ROM is amazing" but in fact none of them are perfectly fine for random reasons (camera issues, BT issues, battery issues and so on). I hope that on the LG G2 side there's a different situation, thank to the Qualcomm CPU that i think is better for development.
AOSP ROMs are really good for me on my D802. Now on latest Mahdi Rom with merged 4.4 sources I have 4h screen-on-time with 59% battery left, I unplugged the phone 21h ago. I have 'only 2G' setting and I used a lot of WiFi (Dolphin, FB Messenger, Youtube...)
Generally the ROMs will get really stable on days/weeks, because of LG 4.4 sources.

Just activate ART The thing is to flash proper Gapps and generally to flash the ROM properly, for me ART is always stable and it gives profits in battery life and smoothness.
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..

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.

I'm just tired to reflash every single rom i find just to find out 1-2 days later is buggy as crap,sucks your battery dry or it has random freezes.
Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack is what you want. If you require to use apps like Whatsapp or Skype, you should try Slimkat instead.
problem is i already am on slimkat 4.4.4 (latest official stable build) . it's not good. it sucks the battery dry , phone gets very hot and I get random lock-ups.

SlimSaber has got problems with Skype. I guess you should try out Neat ROM or Nameless ROM, for they have had the greatest support. If you want battery life, then try out SlimSaber for it has optimizations.

Omni 5.1.1 is the stablest and fastest rom ever. But terrible battery life EVER (sometimes 1h sot, sometimes 3and half. Only your phone knows )
Got my S2 just two months ago, as a spare phone.
So i tried almost all major roms avaiable. Slimbeam, Slimkat, NeatROM etc during these two months
there are some major issues with battery drain or minor random freezes, no GPS, extremely laggy Youtube playback.... I cant even remember all roms that i tested, but I'm sure that all of them were in the first two pages of Galaxy S2 Original Android Development or Android Development.
Just go with Cyanogen 10.1.3., works best for me, no freezes, battery life is good (yet slightly worse than stock rom, as you would expect). Youtube playback is fine, maybe a little bit laggy at the beginning of playback but I'm used to iPhone 100% smoothness so maybe its normal. Its just 4.2.2. tho. CM 10.1.3. works for everyday use, almost like a stock Samsung ROM.
No 4.4.4. that I tested was not 100% stable, all of them had some issues that I could not stand, like battery drain, loosing audio playback, GPS problems and more. Dont get me started on 5.1.1. builds...
Here's a stable Cm Rom, haven't tried, but if we can trust the "stable" status...
