I know that it's best to try them myself but I really don't have time to test all.. I'm wondering which cm based rom has great performance with comparable battery life to stock. I think stock Roms are a bit too laggy with quite a lot of microstutters. And it hangs time to time as well. Cm Roms I tried a while ago are Bliss pop and Resurrection but they both have too short battery lives. But I loved that they were so smooth.
Any recommendation?
Thanks a bunch!

Thanks! Did you do any modification like xposed tweak to make the battery good or greenify or it is just good out of the box? I'm going to try the rom probably today but want to know what setup you have.

Its really good for a cm based ROM. I also used greenish standard version. Mother than crDroid i strongly encourage you to try hybridROM. Its not CM based but it rocks.

Is that smooth and have long battery life too? My main concern is standby time as I'm a light user. Also I really want a smooth rom cause I got spoiled by ios.. Lol cause I go back and forth between iPhone and Xperia ZU. thanks so much for helping.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
Very smooth , I think smoother than any CM based that I have tried and i have tried almost every ROM lol.
Another option is ZHyperROM. Its stock based and heavily debloated so its light , ultra smooth and with amazing battery life. You can also flash zombie kernel in it which is amazing and you will be OK. Thats my current setup in my Ultra and i am completely satisfied. So i think you should try these 3 options and find the most appropriate for you.

Ah. okay I actually tried ZHyperROM and it was not bad, but once I installed Zombie kernel, i saw a lot of micro stutters, so I don't know what happened there. Maybe I changed the kernel setting wrong, but I couldn't know which. So I tried XistenZ which is what I'm running, and it's smoother than ZHyperROM + Zombie, but it still lags time to time. I keep seeing random stutter when unlocking the phone with animation, and other lags too.
But I remember a while ago that when I tried BlissPop and Resurrection, it was crazy smooth, and I guessed because it's cm based, so I liked the speed, but the standby battery time was terrible. So I asked originally is there cm based rom that has good battery life.
I will try crDroid of HybridAOSP (this you mean the Z3 port, right). Hopefully I find the rom that is for me.
I advise you to change the three options regarding animations in the developer options from 1x to 0.5x. Try it in your current setup.
1x gives stuttering at least for me and many ROMS (particularly the stock based have 1x by default.

I tried that but i felt that it was still not as smooth as I would like, so I took the jump and installed Hybrid rom (Z3 port) and it seems pretty good! Also in this rom I changed to 0.5x for all three, and it's really nice. It seems like apps load quicker in this rom than stock roms I tried in the past few days, not just animations. I haven't tested battery life though, but hopefully it lives up to expectation!
Thanks for your help.

You use 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
Since you are trying all types of ROMs, try GPE port by scrubber. I got 5 and a half hour screen on time. With auto sync and data turned on all the time. Now I'm on Xperium 5.1.1. I always had stuttering on CM based ROMS. I'm surprised to see you say that it's very smooth. Can you try Resurrection remix and bliss pop and let me know how the performance is. Play some games like subway surfer and see if you have any frame drops.

I used to try all types of Roms but now it's school term and I can't test Roms much. I did try scrubber and it's battery life was pretty good but standby wasn't as good as stock with stamina. Maybe cause I didn't bother with greenify, power nap, etc.
Bliss pop and Resurrection were super smooth and fast for me in terms of UI animations. And they were just always responsive. I don't play games, so maybe that's a different story? Hmm.. But yea battery life was terrible even with greenify power nap and amplify.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
BTW, just to update, I'm on Hybrid Rom as I said, and after setting up Greenify and PowerNap (after installing Xposed), the standby time is outstanding. When I check the battery usage graph, the standby time shows literally flat horizontal line.
Performance is definitely better than stock based roms. Stock based roms had occasional lock screen animation lag after waking up from sleep (even 3rd party lock screen apps), and the phone was hanging time to time with more stutters. This Hybrid Rom does also have a bit of stutters here and there, but it's so much better with no hanging or freezing yet.

Searched and I was surprised there was no main thread comparing and discussing the differences between Sense and AOSP roms like a lot of other device sub forums have. I've been running a Sense 5 rom since I got my DNA a few months ago but have been itching to switch to AOSP. However I have a few questions.
In my past experience with other devices, native ROMs (in this case Sense based) usually work a little better in terms of things like battery life, signal, and stability. Is this the same for the DNA?
Other things I'm concerned about
-Camera: IMO the Sense camera is way better than the AOSP. I can deal with the loss of software features, but is the picture quality still as good?
-Sound: Beats is mostly just an equalizer gimmick, but the DNA is loud and overall sounds great. I briefly ran an AOSP rom and the first thing I noticed was the sounds was distorted at high levels. I also found this thread which echos my problem. Is this still an issue?
I'd say in my opinion you are spot on with the sense vs aosp in the aspect of aosp issues! Just MY OPINION AND PERSONAL FINDINGS! I love Aosp but I do think it lacked some of the "stock, supposed to be there" kind of feeling I get with sense.. I have been running the CM 11 nightlies for quite a while now. I don't know about pic quality for sure. If there is a difference it's not noticeable to me. I do think I get better battery on sense but signal and stability are basically equal..
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk
I haven't run an AOSP rom since I first flashed NOS Google Play Edition. No matter how strong the temptation to try KitKat, the lower external speaker volume on the AOSP roms that I tried, combined with the inability to use Google Sound Search, Soundhound, or Shazam, ultimately made me stick with a rom using the Sense kernel. But, since I can't stand Sense, I'm sticking with GPE Roms, no matter how delayed they may be.

I've just been on CM11 today after only using sense 5. I can say I already miss blinkfeed, and can already assume the battery will be worse, but everything else seems the same. It's worth trying. I'm rather fond of the Google integration.

The battery is way better when the screen is off, but probably worse than sense when the screen is on. I don't usually have more than 2 and a half hours of screen time in a day, but I typically get about 18 hours of battery on crpalmer's cm11 kernel. Also as far as cameras go, I love camera jb+. Stock aosp camera with some extra features, my favorite being the 6mp setting because it gives me full screen 16:9 pictures. Focal is great too and shows a lot if potential, but it's really unstable.

The only problem I have with CM based roms is the low volume when recording videos. Otherwise no problems. Battery, signal, speaker volume, etc are are on par or better than Sense plus the snappiness and customizability are great. There may be a couple apps that don't work well with CM ROMs but I don't use those particular apps so it's not a problem for me.
I've been running Carbon 4.3 for the last two months. I have not tried a KK ROM since all the features have not been implemented yet.

I spent the first two-thirds of the year playing with alpha and beta ROMs, right now I'm just holding steady with the full-featured versions of 4.3. Plus there's nothing compelling about KK ROMs except for the fact it's new. It has ART but it's still too new and some devs suggest against using it for now.
In my experience sense obviously has a better camera and also better sound even with beats off and viper audio sense sound is just better.

I've made the jump and I'm on the latest CM 4.4.2 (12-17 build) and it is sooooo much faster and smoother than 4.3. I was scared to make the jump but this thing really flies. Battery life is about the same.

I tried KK today, what annoys me is:
1. The browser, which I use a lot, doesn't have text reflow, incognito mode, and working full screen mode (hide nav bar). I do not like other browsers.
2. The dialer sucks.
With the tweaks it doesn't seem much faster than 4.3.

Weird. Ive flashed back and forth between 4.3 and 4.4....4.4 feels way smoother

I don't care for smoothness, I want it to be responsive and fast. If I flick up or down I don't want a delay to make it feel smooth, I want it to instantly move fast. That's just me, I have all animations and various frills turned off. I replicated the same setup on 4.4 and it just wasn't the same.
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

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.
Hi there little-biggie users
I would like to know some information from those who use the latest CM11 on Z Ultra.
Does everything work? I mean for example WiFi tethering ... because I read there have been problems.
Is it smooth enough? stock 4.4.4 is very smooth ... some people say 4.3 was better ... I know it is not important, but how much does it score in AnTuTu?
Is it worth moving from stock to CM? I had Xperia Neo before ... so I have experience with flashing etc. ... but I do not have much time now and just want to be sure.
Thank you for your answers :good:

I'm not using CM (I\m building Carbon for the community so use that) but tethering was fixed about a month or so ago. No AOSP/CM11 seems to score quite as high as Stock on antutu, but benchmarks aren't everything.
I will pick Aosp performance over CM anytime.

They keep improving thanks to ever-excellent dev work. I tried some benchmarks for the first time recently, and got almost 40,000 points on Antutu v5 with both Slim/CandyKat and LiquidSmooth (optimised CM11 kernel) with pretty stock settings. PAC-ROM scored a bit lower at ~35-36,000 with the standard CM11 kernel.
I personally find Sony ROMs the smoothest graphically, but the benefits of custom ROMs outweigh this for me.
Haven't tried stock, but using latest nightly (not that many commis have been merged since my was forked).
It's very nice. I can only compare it with cm on note 3, but this seems better. I have a small issue with the light sensor, but everything else world fine. Smooth. I'm using ART, and I've had 0 reboots or fc's compared to the other mentioned device.
I've heard that stock is nice, but for the latest and greatest you'll have to run a cm/aosp base? Hopefully we'll see the next Android iteration soon..
I just moved off stock to CM11.2 about a week ago and I'm liking it but there is something wonky with the dialer, when I make or receive a call if I hang up using the red bar it doesn't hang the call up. The red bar turns dark and the person is still on line.
Oh, got one other complaint, the camera is VERY VERY slow to come up, like 30-60 seconds sometimes. I've also seen it unable to connect.
Those are about my only complaint. It's way better than Sony and getting my Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, and Recovery back is worth it.

Only issue is the camera sometimes forced close .. other than that , battery life is awesome , smooth and fast. On top of this I flashed a OnePlusOne conversion kit and everything works. I like the screencast app. I like this new build.
Theme engines are awesome too...
for the camera see the fix in most of the custom ROM threads
bugs everywhere but not more or fewer than other roms

Have you considered ArchiDroid 3.0.2? It's based on CM11, ie KitKat.
I have been using it for about a week now, without any major issues. Notification LED is working fine. With the ArchiDroid kernel, using ZZMove+Yank Battery I'm getting amazing battery life; definitely better than the Lolipop/CM12 ROMs I tried before settling on this.
I miss some things from TouchWiz ROMs, like palm swipe for screenshot and the application drawers. Since you were already on PA, it shouldn't matter much to you.
Myself was also thinking about switching to ArchiDroid. I hope there isn't any other option, right?

I'm using SlimLP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-aosp-unofficial-slimlp-alpha-0-9-t2977801 . I mean it's AOSP-based what do you need more? Still waiting for Omni to support camera tho, then I'll switch to Omni instantly.

I've been using PA ROM for a month now and was facing some issues like rare auto-restarts and notification LED not pulsing. So now I'm looking for an alternate that should be ultra stable and KitKat also. Can you recommend some?

AOSP roms have a few bugs, persistent one's- Camera, wifi and all. If you use camera lot ~snapchat, instagram,vine etc. You need to keep rebooting if it says 'can't connect to camera'.
That being said, AOSP roms hold their mark. Pure android. SOme good CM based ones are Carbon, Slim ( a lil more stable)
Touchwiz on the other hand has its advantages- Stable, & plenty other features like palm swipe to capture and great camera!
you should definitely check out S5 Sensation Rom, super stable, super useful, amazing battery life, its kitkat, LED works fine.
I need the best combo of rom and kernel ! recently got back into the android game after having an s3 and then switching to a 6s plus now I'm back, with the oneplus two
I need help on choosing the rom and kernel, would prefer for the rom to be stable and the kernel to give me great battery life
right now I'm on aospa 6.0.1 it's alright
I was so excited to get back into roms and android that I didn't even last 3 hours on oxygenOS
OOS3 is actually pretty decent. Especially if you get a ROM that is a modified version of OOS like Oxydium. Exodus is also another good choice for speed, battery, and reliability. So far though, in my experience, it's pretty hard to go wrong with any of the ROMs available for the OP2 though. CM based ROMs have seemed to not get quite as good battery as OOS based or Exodus for me, but they have more features of course. Good luck on your search!
Official cm13 with boeffla kernel is my default setup. But using aospa and resurrection remix (benschold kernel) once in a while )
Waiting to see more features in aospa

I think the best rom at the moment is Oxydium
Good battery, Android N-designed, great performance and no heating

I'm thinking of trying Oxydium
The bad part of oxydium, is not upgraded to the ota release. Happy user of cm13 unofficial, as daily.

The battery life is good, better than cm13, 4-5h sot
Now i'm using PA and it's more smooth than oxydium but camera is not as good as oxydium.
So far mm ROMs are still buggy and things are getting a lot better but the best ROM at least for me was VisionX but its a lollipop ROM
For me RR is still best in battery life

6h / 7h is achievable
Mostly i have 2 days of standby with 4,5 / 5h sot
Last couple of days I'm thinking about switching from OOS3 based back to CM13 or AOSP or PA. So I'm going through threads and I'm kinda shocked to see how most of them are now plagued by bugs which seem to have nothing to do with our devs, but it seems like they are getting that from sources, CyanogenMod mostly. Also, I don't remember any problems from couple of weeks (months?) ago! Like no notifications (dead silent phone), alert slider not working, echo in conversations, problems with camera, heavy on battery... before I had excellent battery life, notification and slider worked better than in OOS3, ROM was better with each version... any thoughts on that?
hi,
AOKP + Boeffla Kernel at the BEST! :good:
All ROMs and every kernel is best:good:

Can easily confirm, Resurrection Remix has given me much better battery life than OOS3 with my usage. Constant 5h SOT on LTE, 6+ on WiFi
CM13 Unofficial by Seraph08 + Boeffla Kernel works pretty well for me. I get a Standby time of almost 30 hours and SOT of over 4 hours. I used to barely manage 3 hours SOT earlier with OOS3.

I have been wondering the exact same thing.. I flashed PA June and it's been o.k. but has some issue with speaker / mic that weren't present in other MM rom's I've tried..
I went to Exodus. Feels great, works great, but with Trebuchet launcher as AOSP is very limited. I could recommend it easily
