Hi guys,
It`s been time since I last time flashed a custom rom.
I`m looking for fast, stable, as less buggy as possible 4.4.x android ROM for my I9300. Could you suggest me anything like this? There are a lot of possible options in android development section, but I do not have a time testing them all.
Thanks in advance,
Vilius
Go for Blekota Note 4, if you are willing to sacrifice FM Radio for it.
But if your willing to go up to Lollipop then you may either choose BlissPop or ArchiDroid. Both are quite stable and the only difference is customisability (BlissPop is winner for that).
I will let the other people decide your fate
I think cyanogenmod11 is a good choice

More people prefer AR-HD when it comes to I9300 JB ROMS. But ArchiDroid 2 is KitKat and it is quite fast and stable
LiquidSmooth KK Rom

I'm looking for a rom that is stock based has good battery life and is fast and stable.
Could anyone suggest me a ROM please? It must be on 4.3 or 4.4
I'm not asking which is the best I'm simply asking for suggestions.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I'm also fairly new to the rooting side of android or what ever you want to call it lol.
It is still a kind of asking for a rom thread. U are asking for a rom tat is fast. It is different for all users as the way they customise and wat apps they install on it affects the speed. Pls try them out urself.

Omnirom nightlies seem fairly bugless as do the latest cm 11 nightlies. I would go with omnirom as it has more features and customisations. These are of course 4.4 ROMs as there aren't any Samsung based 4.4 ROMs currently. Looking at sources it seems however that s3 4.4 update looks confirmed for some US regions. For a 4.3 ROM I'd go for the S5 revolution ROM. Seems quick with little bugs, good battery life and a S5 theme. More updates are to come. I wouldn't know much about other ROMs as I don't have the patience to flash many. I'm sure you can find many more ROMs to your liking.
I hawe one question. Witch costum rom is the best for samsung galaxy s3 I9300. It has to be fast, stable and long battery life...?
Thank you for answer.
Answer is don't ask for best rom, it's against the posting rules.

For me the best ROM is Blekota, its quite good and after this next release is gonna really stable
in my opinion the best rom is cyanogenmod 11
Cynaogen mod by markox89 and archi droid 2.5.3 very,very fast and stabel,both of roms...you wont wrong with eider od these two roms...
I recommend you to try try and try, we all are going same roms, I was told that the Parandroid went well with the drums and boeffla, I prefer those based on stock, last longer, but the custom I like
Hi all, im a new galaxy s 2 user, but i've allready tried a lot of roms from xda. As for me, a dont care about what android version it is based on( exept gb obviously) i need a stable and a good battery rom to use it daily, just for web surfing, and music while driving. Unfortunately, i really dislike stock samsung interface, so best choice for me is aokp/cm based rom. Now im using hydra h20 rom, it seems to be stable and battery friendly, but maybe i've missed some other good roms to try, so, my question is, what rom will you recommend me( or other users with same aims) to try?
Sorry for my english, its not my language

With the dorimanX kernel
Before everyone tells me that this has been covered in previous threads, i read them all and there is nothing worth writing home about within these 'other threads'.
There is not a decent place online where an S2 user can go to find out the BEST choice for his phone. (most people just say: "kk1 worked for me" etc... (which doesnt really tell us much!)
Surely there are tonnes of people with Galaxy S2 i9100 phones with Custom Roms, kernals and Gapps!
from my experience: the S2 phone not good enough to run Lolipop at a fast speed... (its SLOW as hell, and Bad Battery Life).
Kit Kat is also a bit laggy on the S2... (or has someone found a good MOD and kernal of it ?
really, it seems that the S2 performs BEST with Ice-Cream-Sandwich or Jelly-Bean.
or has anyone found a REALLY good KitKat Rom for the S2 which has a Good Battery Life and FAST SPEED ??
also,, please mention what kernal and Gapps package you have and what Launcher you are using
Use Slimsaber 4.4.4 by fusionjack (modified by thunder45) and dorimanx kernel.

In terms of battery life, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is the only rom that could compete with stock 4.1.2 battery life (stock 4.1.2 is still superior to all other ROMs). All 4.4.4 ROMs use more battery than stock 4.1.2, but the upside is that you get less bloatware and more performance. Cyanogenmod may be the most well known for its popularity in the android world, but it is also known for battery problems and other problems too. In terms of performance, Slimsaber 4.4.4 is a lightweight ROM that has more useful features compared to Cyangenmod. Of course user preference differs between everyone, but I've found that slimsaber has all of the neat features I've needed in one package. Where you get most benefits from is by pairing up the ROM with a custom kernel such as DorimanX kernel. The built-in kernel will do the job for most people, but what most people miss out on is all of the performance and battery optimizations and tweaks you get from installing a custom kernel. Yes, there are more things to tweaks when using a custom kernel, but after you get used to it and have played around with it a bit, the effort and time spent is really well worth it and I assure you your phone will feel better than you first got it.
Of course, this is all of my personal thoughts, and I'm a long term user of slimsaber 4.4.4 and dorimanx kernel. Just incase you didn't know, I don't hate cyanogenmod, they are pretty much the pioneers of the custom rom industry, but lately they haven't been up to scratch.

thanks for your info about the slimsaber rom.
I wanted to ask you something about your comment:
is slimsaber the same as slimkat? its the same thing?
and,, also: if I flash the dorimanx kernel and then flash the slimsaber 444 rom, will the slimsaber rom add its own slimsaber kernel and delete the dorimanx kernal ?
- or, is it the other way around? am I supposed to flash the slimsaber rom, and then flash the dorimanx kernal to replace the slimsaber kernel ?
PS:
I will be downgrading from a Lollipop 5.1 Rom.
its too slow on my phone and i'm getting awful batterylife and quite buggy.
i was umming and ahhing whether to downgrade to an unbloated jellybean ROM, or a kitkat one.
maybe I will give your set-up a try (seeing you are giving it a good testimonial).
did you use a minimal Gapps package? or the full thing?

Slimsaber and slimkat are different roms. Slimsaber is a modified version of slimkat by fusionjack.
Yes, when you flash slimsaber, it will replace dorimanx kernel with slimsaber kernel. This means you will have to flash dorimanx kernel again.
It's up to you. I make my own personal dorimanx builds, but I don't optimize them for battery life, I care more about performance and smoothness.

i did a few searches on xda for slimsaber 4.4.4 and saw a number of instances where people are having WhatsApp camera issues and also Skype issues.
do you also get this problem?
or is that now fixed? (coz I use both of those apps quite often).
is this the correct page I should use to download the ROM :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59918959&postcount=17347
(but I see no mention of Thunder45's modification on that page).
if the above issues are still present, do you think i will be better off with the SlimKat version? or something else?
Thanks
Marc

You're better off with slimkat if you use those applications. Skype and whatsapp issues are still present in slimsaber.

thanks again GsStudios
would it be a good idea for me to use your suggested Dorimanx Kernal with SlimKat 4.4 ?
and finally: if you have ever used it, how would you rate the CM11 (standard version), with SlimKat ?
(i'm trying to narrow my choice down).
again, thanks
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!
Download:

boeffla-kernel-2.13-CM11.0-i9300.recovery.zip

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...
