Hi guys,
I would like to change my rom to try lollipop (again ) but recently i have no time to do so
So could you share your experience of using some of them? i saw 5.1 based - are they more stable?
my current 4.1.2 based rom started to lagging freezing so i need to do factory reset anyway. Is any lollipop rom stable enough to daily use?
Imo Omni is very stable. I am using it since 3 weeks and only dirty flashing the updates and there was no freeze until now. The only problem is that sometimes the wifi connection doesn't work on the first try. Having the age of our smartphone (almost 4 years) in mind I would say that it cant be smoother.
I have tried a few now and just wanted to know which is the most stable but also doesn't have horrendous lag. I'm not bothered about having the latest version of android but want all features yo work such as camera Bluetooth WiFi etc
Is stock my best option? Is cyanagoen ROM an option?
Hello. I know that this question is asked a million times, but answers to them are already obsolete. Currently am looking ( I am sure I am not the only one) for headache-free, stable and fast ROM as my daily driver. I just want to install a ROM, tweak it a little if I have to and be sure it will work me for another year or so (I am to tired to flash 3rd ROM in a row to see it have major problem).
So if someone would post a brief information about ROM you are using, any custom modification, setting tweaking, flashed custom kernel and potential tradeoffs You The Real MVP.
My experencie with Rom's so far:
Archidroid v3.0.2 (kitkat)
Previously I used as a daily driver which really worked nice for me, until I got infamous "google services stopped worked" which I fixed only by turning google location service (making some cool aps unusable) . Shame, it is the best ROM I tried. The only problem I had was for camera sometimes freezing in black screen, but it happened very rarely.
There was suggestion to re-flash this ROM with flashing never GAPS from OpenGAPS project. Tried, but again got "google services stopped worked". I saw some other workarounds I could try, but I want to be sure there isn't anything better before I try it.
Archidroid v3.1.5 (Lolipop)
Based on lollipop, everything works reliably, BUT much slower then on Kitkat version. Though strangely, decreasing dpi to 240 improved performance dramatically. Many users agree that 3.0.2 is still the better one.
Cyanogenmod-13 (Marshmallow)
Looks promising, fast out of the box with some interesting features. However still buggy (torch not working on lock screen, chrome/ radio crashes phone and so on).
So far as I understand best ROM's are based on Kitkat - Lollipop and Marshmallow needs more ram to run effectively then s3 has. So even some developers suggest sticking to older Android versions. I also heard Boeffla kernel is the best one though I didn't try it personally. What makes it so special ?
Try Liquid Smooth KK rom with boeffla kernel
CyanogenMod 11
Hello,
if you want a stable and battery save ROM, I would prefer CyanogenMod 11 Nightly!

Heh, thanks. I actually flashed cyanogenmod 11 stable and indeed,its stable as it should. Was some problems flashing OpenGAPS but managed to fix flashing version without Aroma installer.
Could anyone tell more about boeffla kernel? What is so special about it ? I know that I can tweek some settings, but I am not going to trade stability for +100 benchmark points.

I use boeffla on all roms because of boeffla sound tweaks and easy zram setup.
Best rom is pacman kk rom, all features in one, bugless...
If u need i will send u gapps that i used before on that rom and worked great.
Only thing it doesnt work, like on all kk, lp and probably mm is noise supression for viber/whatsapp calls. I tried all kk, most lp roms, tried everything to enable ns for voip but it could not be enabled.
Touch wiz rom i recommend is ncsrom, most lightweight rom, fast and stable, made with boeffla kernel...

-Hey Please if you downloaded this cm11 nightly build before can you upload it to me because cyanogen is down right now and I've searched ALOT for cyanogen roms for my I9300 and I found some but not that stable for my device I've switched about 3 times now for deffirent roms PLEASE IF YOU HAVE THIS NIGHTLY BUILD UPLOAD IT FOR ME
Currently I am on Hyper v10 NougatUX 4.4.4 its a great Rom with many features .
You have also Atila Rom v7 it is very lite T.W 4.4.4
Which of the Android 6 or 7.1 ROMs are more stable with less bugs as I have seen after the usage of nearly 25-30 days almost all ROMs starts hanging.
Please also share which of these ROMs is more feature rich and good battery life?
Currently I am on Pure Nexus Rom.
Regards
It is amazing to find that none of the members replied to the above question....?
Howcome?
Anyways, pls also tell how can we install a new rom in place of Pure Nexus which has magisk installed.
Do I have to uninstall magisk first and then wipe the rom or just wipe the device, data, internal and flash the new ROM along with latest magisk 13.1?
I am using AEX (before LOS) for 2 months and runs very well.
No drain battery, wifi, reboot or something.
Works better than 5.1 ROM of motorola stock.
Try 4.5 (latest) of AEX ROM
I tried all found that MIUI is more stable than other Rom. RR and lineage have some bugs. I didnt found any on MIUI. What are your thoughts guys.
Maybe the best of the two worlds? A custom ROM based on MIUI?
My next try will be surely the Mi-globe ROM, where you can also choose the components to be included.
I prefer custom rom.
Using AOSP Extended and it's nice.
Give it a try.
Custom rom will have some bugs that's main issue. If I wanna use rom for daily driver it should be bug free. So Native roms of device are better than custom ones. It can be used by rooting and doing tweaks to official roms.
I'm having issue with gps while using MIUI. Maybe it's just my phone.
Haven't try custom MIUI.
Currently I'm using Slim rom because I prefer stock Android experience. No issue with gps.
dude seriously!!! Custom Roms Like Aex/Rr are officially Fully Stable no Bug On Em.. only minor Bugs Which are negligible so If u want to try ill recommend Aex Which is fully stable and u can use it as daily driver without any problem and battery backup is same on all rom it depends on ur usages.

I will give it a try Aex( I tried MIUI 9 china beta ,lineage OS and Rr)
I guess it depends on the end user. I mean, I have used MIUI, COOL UI, Zen UI etc. I would say, every ROM is good in their own. I personally prefer stock ROM. One of the reason for me is that Custom ROM (Cool UI on Coolpad Note 5) sometimes creates laggy experience.
The main thing that I didn't like in MIUI is some of the cool notification things that are present in Stock Android. That's why I switched to Lineage, Resurrection Remix, and finally on AOSP Extended.
