Unfortunately my LG G4 decided to crap out after 4 months and my S4 have a stuck power button, so I am stuck with a family members old S2 (att) until my warranty g4 shows up. Phone is totally stock and wiped clean on 4.0.4.
It's subjective, but what's the consensus on most stable, latest build ROM that won't sacrifice any critical features (use it for work)? The stock 4.0.4 and the att bloat are kind of killing me.
Thanks

SHOstock3 v4.0 is the latest touchwiz based rom, based on international XWLSZ stock firmware. It is 4.1.2. I've been running it for several years now.
The latest AT&T stock is I777UCMD8 which is also 4.1.2.
Here is the rom thread. Unfortunately the download link for the rom is a 404 link, so I've uploaded the install file here SHOstock3-XWLSZ-v4.0.zip - 407.75 MB
The other stable 4.1.2 touchwiz rom is [ROM]-[I777UCMD8]-[COOKED v2.2]-[4.1.2_JB][10/08/13]
Anything more recent than that would have to be AOSP based. There are several options in the dev forum.

I am new to this phone as it was my best option at the time to use on page plus. I need a stable phone so I don't care about ICS or JB. Is there a heavily debloated stock 2.3.4 rom available for this phone? I cannot find what I am looking for on here.
The best Gingerbread ROMs this phone has is CM7 and Eclipse. Although Eclipse is based on 2.3.5 and you will have to update to that version first. Both ROMs are pretty stable.

Unfortunately, since my post count is low, I'm unable to ask this the official thread for Omega, but rather have to ask it here in the Q&A section.
The most recent Omega ROM based on Samsung's release is v58, built upon Samsung's XXUGNB6. However, it appears that Samsung has since then released at-least 1 update: XXUGND5 around 2014-April
Other Samsung based ROMs (like Android Revolution HD v52) have moved to XXUGND5, but I like Omega and would prefer to not move to another ROM.
The other Omega ROMs (AOKP & Omni) seem to be regularly updated, so I'm wondering why Omega didn't embrace this Samsung ROM.
Hi All
Long story short, my phone broke and samsung fixed it under warrantee. They returned it with the vodaphone 4.3 flavor OS which was bloated to bursting point with all the crap-ware they add. So naturally the phone was dead slow, which prompted me to flash it to the 4.3 BTU. The phone is quite fast now, but the updates don't work so I'm stuck with those dreaded initial 4.3 software bugs, wifi connectivity & battery drain to name just 2.
I'd like to know if there are any decent & stable 4.4 ROMs available? I have tried CM11 earlier this year, but that didn't work to well, it was quite buggy.
I'd love to be able to install the 4.4.x BTU, but as far as I can tell, it hasn't been released (yet?).
Advice would be great.
Thanks!

I never expirienced any strange bugs like eith new 4.3 uodates, try using some great custom 4.3 roms out here, like archidroid, neatrom, arhd etc. Just search and try, combine it with a custom kernel and your phone will be reborned.
4.4.x ism't and won't be released for s3, because, well, samsung is $#&*, but you have note2 4.4 ports, like QS kitkat Archiport, and s5 themed like Blekota etc. But these 4.4 ports are having graphical glitches which occur for some, for some not, but as I see, Lord Boeffla updated his Boeffla kernel and in new updates graphical glitches are gone, battery life is much better and wifi direct and screen mirroring are working.
So if you want best stability go with custom 4.3, if you want to test out the kitkat experience which should be good now if combined with Boeffla kernel then go with some 4.4 port.
And don't forget, best rom threads are not allowed and will be closed by moderator, you should try what xda world has to offer and then decide.

How do I load a custom kernel? I've only ever flashed with Odin and then that was just the ROM.
Just as a matter of interest, 4.4 has been released for the S3 on certain carriers.
Flash the kernel through your custom recovery.
Only the versions of the s3 which have 2gb of ram have kitkat..other versions do not including the international version

Just as Pulseuser mentioned, 4.4 is released only for i9305 LTE variant of s3.
About custom kernel, the easiest method is to root your phone using cf-autoroot, just google cf auto root and download the .tar.md5 for Odin for i9300 S3. Then when your phone is rooted download ROM Manager from playstore and install Clockwork Mod recovery, then reboot to the recovery via rom manager app and choose install zip from sdcard, fin your custom kernel/rom or whatever you want to flash and then tap yes and reboot, but first copy your custom kernel/rom on sdcard.
It is very easy, you even have tutorials on youtube on how to flash something via CWM recovery.
Hi, I have a LG L7 II P710. My ROM is the V10H of the company Orange, Spain (Jelly Bean). I want a ROM based on Stock, KK, root, etc...
Here there are many, but I don't know what to choose. Which should you choose?
Sorry for my bad english
Amiga500 latest kitkat rom
If you don't insist on KK (which is very problematic in this device in terms of performance and stability), then I would say that Purified Stock 1.0 (JB based) is the ROM for you.

JB of LG don't like me. So, this ROM, Purified Stock, is in version KK? If in that version, do you recommend me?

Purified stock 1.0 is JB based, and Purified 2.0 is KK based. I haven't tried the 2.0 version, so I can't tell you anything about it. I have tried Amiga KitKat ROM versions 1 & 2, and they were OK for KK ROMs (didn't try the more advanced versions), but I reverted to JB ROMs after it turned out that all KK ROMs I was using (stock, Amiga and CM11) were inferior to the JB ROMs in terms of performance and stability.

I tried the last version of Amiga KitKat and this have many bugs... Is smother and the look is almost identical to the LG G3.
I'll try Purified Stock 2.0 and i will tell my opinions.
Purified Stock 2 gets very laggy over time...

You can't do nothing, try another rom, neutronrom (kk 4.4.2), purified stock v1 (jb 4.1.2)
As you can see, nowadays there are some great roms for our LG L7II. But also notice that some of them were created/ported and launched for download but, after that, their respective developers have turned into other projects so, you might want to test the roms that still have people working on it so you can solve the problems you can have while testing the rom.
I've tested many of the roms but in general the KitKat based roms (call it Stock rom, Stock debloated, or fully modded like CM) are always buggy, unstable, slow, etc. Of course they have great improvements in security, UI, etc but what I'm trying to say it's that it is not worth. Or at least you should be giving it a try to JellyBean based roms like the one neutrondev is making.
Of course the best thing about Android (Linux) is that you can always have a little bit of a taste of everything. Everything is possible. :good:
I got E970 few days ago, and, since it's running on 4.1.2 i was wondering which rom should i install.
Found several versions but I think it's best to ask you who already have custom rom installed...
Phone was used ofc, for about 2 years and battery isn't that good. So I would like to have a rom with better battery performance.
Based somewhat on my recollection of battery usage, not something I can readily document, I would suggest the Kitkat based ROM Sling Kahroba Edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...-sling-kahroba-edition-final-version-t3110833
I have since moved to a Lollipop ROM and now a Marshmallow version. The last version I used was several before the final posted but it was stable and had quality built-in call recording which came in handy at times.
