I've flashed a 4.4.4 rom, and now after a few years I've come back to try and breath life into the tab. Right now I am on SLimSaber 4.3.1 and it seems real smooth. My net speed isn't very fast so I can't download all and try. Is CM10 faster, or stock rom, or should I stick with SlimSaber? Rom does not need to be very stable, a few fcs no problem, but I need some rom that operates quick
Thanks,

So what are your opinions on stock vs custom ROMs?
I generally use custom roms. Are stock ROMs considered to be more stable and bug free?
I find Cyanogen usually has some bugs
Too soon to say, it will take a while untill we can get some stable roms.
I always was happy with cyanogen mod on the i9000, it was running smoother and in case of cm7 even had vorher battery life than stock roms. However the problem with cm always was that we never got a final build, cm7 is outdated already and cm9 is running on most cm'd devices and cm7 is at rc3 now. But i am pretty sure i will give cm a try again when it will be available for the g3.

is it true that custom roms begin to lagg after a while ? and more and more ram is used ? i only need boeffla sound mod , if i stay with stock sammy and boeffla kernel its as stable as pure stock?
After trying most of the ROMs here i can honestly say that in most cases sammy based roms are more stable and provide better battery life. Personally I don't like the touchwiz interface... it all depends if you're willing to sacrifice battery and go with something different like MIUI.

You could try perkas kernel, virtually stock, but latest has boeffla
Guys, I've looked through the threads here but I can't seem to find a rom which is stock, but debloated and optimized. I am on CM11 now but I am experiencing very bad battery life and some instability. I will be passing my S3 to my daughter soon and I would like to have a stable rom with good performance and battery life. It would be best if the ROM would be a modded stock rom which includes the factory languages, Icelandic to be exact
Can anyone point me in the right direction? It doesn't need to be Kit Kat, just a stable and fast rom.
Thanks!
Try this.

giving me error file corrupt, redownloading doesn't help, flashed 8 different versions of twrp
@bjornvil: I guess your daughter often uses internet - then JB or KK are too unsecure. I recommend an AOSP-MM-ROM: Haxynox or Slim (fewer features than CM and its clones, but fewer bugs and lite).
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...

Hello!
I have been using Cyanogenmod 12.1 and 13 as my daily drivers. While I deeply appreciate the work that has been put into it, it never reached the "stable and fast enough" state for me, and the instability and bugs (GPS fix, crashes) have not become better over time in my opinion.
So I would like to downgrade to a stable version that compromises well between reliability and still is recent enough, app permission management is important to me.
I have read threads like these, and KitKat 4.4.4 looks viable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/steps-flashing-salimsaber-4-4-4-please-t3419543
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/best-kitkat-rom-t3403207
The recommendation seems to be Slimsaber 4.4.4 by Fusionjack with DorimanX kernel. What do you guys think, is that a good choice for me? Maybe another Lollipop or Marshmallow version instead?
A few questions on how I should go about it:
Is my 1 GB repit fine or should I lower it again to 512 MB?
I have IsoRec-TWRP-2.8.7.0-20160113 installed, can I use that or should I flash another version first?
Anything else that I am missing for downgrading that is not mentioned in the installation instructions?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, i am doing the same thing due to exact reasons.
I tried those 4.4.x roms some time ago. They seem stable but battery life time for me it is bad.
I am going to NeatRom, stock S2 Rom, it worked real good for me, no crashes, v good battery life.
It shouldnt affect the installation your partition size.
You can downgrade from any kernel.
I had cm 12 and went to ics with no problem.
Thanks for your answer! I'm fine with the battery life mostly, if my phone lasts a day I can deal with that, and it does.
ICS feels a bit outdated to me, it will probably be KK or newer. It's very hard to assess which ROM and Kernel are suited for me, though...
Update for any who might be in a similar situation as me: I went through with it. Left my system at 1 GB, flashed Slimsaber 4.4.4 according to the description, tested everything, then also flashed the DorimanX kernel. All is buttery smooth so far, a lot faster than before (even Pokemon GO stutters way less, hehehe). I can recommend it a lot.
I have been using Mido from long and flashed various ROMs.
Now I want to hand over this phone to someone else, so looking for ROM which is matured and stable.
I don't mind if it has minimal features but should be smooth and stable.
Can someone advise which is flash and forget ROM as on today?
Aosp Extended Oreo
Just flash and Forget
Greatly Optimised Smooth Good bb and Performance
How about MIUIPro?
