Hi,
i search a KitKat Rom which is stable, good battery ife, and can play games with not cost a lot of battery
Which Rom and Kernel do u prefer?
There are a lot of kitkat like, neat, slimkat, slimsaber and and and
Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
I wouldn't suggest you using KitKat, because the security patches aren't included. Using a Marshmallow ROM, your phone wouldn't be vulnerable.
But if you really want to move back to KitKat, I suggest SlimSaber.
Kind regards & good luck
Trafalgar Square
because the security patches aren't included
what is that? is that very important?
MM: Is there working xposed? and which rom&kernel u prefer on MM with good battery life
Security Patch is important. There are many ROMs, which are vulnerable to attacks from outside.
I prefer pure CyanogenMod 13.

Hi all!
So I am switching my device out soon but I love to have a second handheld so that my load on phones is decreased.
My current S2 is fine and all but I wanted to seek some advice on the following questions:
1. What is a very minimalistic way to run android? I know that CM and stuff exist (having ran it before and currently running PAC-ROM) but can I go more....uhm....clean?
2. What is a way to keep the device clean from stuff that may slow it down? What should I avoid if I intend to use this phone as a portable media device that runs at optimal speeds? Over-clocking?
4. Why is my maths very bad?
3. What is the most stable/ A very stable android version/ROM to run on the device? Every time I search it is only people recommending a ROM that is 'Stable', but I wanted to know what are the most stable for the long run?
5. Is there a ROM dedicated to media support?
6. Any recommendations as to what to do with the device from your perspective?
I would not like to waste any more of your time, but after the Internet failing to give me answers that benefit me I turned here for help.
All Advice welcome.

1. Try slimsaber ROM by Fusionjack. Very minimalistic ROM, but still has some essential features like PIE and optional toggle for navigation bar. Awesome battery life that is incomparable.
2. You can disable and delete any bloatware apps or apps you don't use. Use greenify to prevent any wakelocks from apps. Use a custom kernel with TRIM support to prevent any slowdowns like gustavo kernel. But I still prefer DorimanX for super stability
3. Try using Slimsaber rom. Used it for more than 4 months now and it is rock solid.
4. I don't know any ROMs that are dedicated to media support.
5. Once again. Flash Slimsaber ROM with Dorimanx and the phone will be more solid than a rock (not really, that's more of a nokia reference, but you get what I mean)

Sorry, I should've been more specific. Try using slimsaber KitKat (4.4.4) by Fusionjack. And for dorimanx, use the unofficial one by cybernetus. Dorimanx 10.44 v008. Don't worry about the 'unofficial' bit, it's very stable and one of the last releases of dorimanx kernel (for KitKat).

Thanks QSS, I am currently reading some of your PIT conversions and stuff right now, increasing partitions to 1gb as we speak for an update nice write ups.
+1 to all of @gsstudios suggestions. I would add, using one of the minimal gapps works well for cutting out unwanted apps

As mentioned you can uninstall any unwanted apps from the rom anyhow
I am pretty overwhelmed by knowing that our low budget device has got many aftermarket ROMs. Thanks to all the developers making these awesome ROMs possible for MotoE.
I myself have tested many ROMs but I am confused now about which ROM gives best performance, which ROM gives best features, which ROM gives perfect mix of features/performance. I myself would consider the ROM which gives best performance.
Please reply to this thread answering which ROM you are using and for what purpose to solve(features, performance or both).
Using mokee ROM here and will chance to pac ROM soon.
I am using paranoid android and its pure stock,surviving on it with exposed and gravity box,overall a very butter ROM and good battery life.
I will install AICP when next update comes or mokee can get a chance too.
CM 12.1 i made my mind to cheange the ROM many times, but all the time i back to CM12.1, bcoz of its daily bugfix/features update, stabality, no unwanted features, make me stick on the ROM.
Hi
well I have no experience with Custom-ROMs, so can someonePlease explain to me
where exactlythe difference between Official ROMs and Unofficial ROMs is ?
What would you recommend in terms of stability
thanks
This is what I believe it means, using CyanogenMod as an example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod).
AFAIK the CyanogenMod team develop their custom rom for a generic platform. They then select a number of devices and customize the generic version so it can be applied and used on these selected devices.
An official CyanogenMod ROM is when the CyanogenMod team have selected the device and done the extra work for the custom ROM to work on that device themselves.
Unofficial means that the extra work to tailor the custom CyanogenMod ROM for the device is done by other developers, who use the generic base which CyanogenMod provide.
To my understanding its more like sub-beta, directed mainly for flash freaks (count me in).
Regarding stability some official ROMs are far from stable, while some unofficial are ages in front.
Thanks guys for the great explanation....appreciate it...
well , During my search for a good ROM software I have often read that the 2 Roms was s always recommended
1. Temasek
2. LiquidSmooth
i mean are both roms really good and stable on s3?
or would you recommend something else
thanks
I would recommend CM12.1 as a daily driver. Is clean and fast. It works way better than stock Samsung ROMs and is very stable thanks to @JustArchi. It also drain less battery and has a good power save feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-i9300-t3254215
My current setup is this:
Recovery: TWRP
ROM: CM12.1
Kernel: Boeffla
And never been happier with my i9300
Hi
I have the latest version temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1 v18.0 flashed + PA-GOOGLE APPS Plus GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE
and I must say it really makes a great impression, everything seems stable so far.....
well the only thing that bothers me is the (ugly white background in Android Lollipop)but its just a matter of taste :silly:
Plus the newer builds of CM12.1 have OTA updater working.
How would you estimate the stability and performance of CM12.1 ROM's compared to official CM11 nightlies?
Flashed official CM11 once. Within 30 minutes of testing a had plenty of crashes and several Cannot connect to camera.
Lot of people here say that there is no need to move to Lolipop, because Kitkat is far more stable.. However I wouldn't agree.
Hi,
As OnePlus is not updating anymore Onyx since last november I'm considering installing a custom rom.
For now my choices are on AOKP and Lineage OS.
I want something light but secure.
I don't need billions of features.
Does anyone has experienced both roms on Onyx and could give some feedbacks ?
Thanks a lot !
Regards,
Lineage is simply no go.
I think GZR are most stable ones.
There is a minimal feature build of jdc available on afh you can try that, imo it is the best nougat based rom for onyx at the moment(may change once pa hits the market).
Try Tesla from the thread here if you are looking fir stable 7.1.2 ROM

I will have a look at GZR.
I never heard about it before.
What's wrong about LineageOS ?
Big Update The King SultanXda Might support onyx.
So whenever his N based rom is out it will be the most stable and complete rom for onyx(he is the best dev out there).
I use XenonHD: fast and stable, ok for daily use, no bugs, tristate ok, updated near monthly. About 4h of SOT.
I red that there's network issues with most of N roms for Onyx.
Is it true and anyone has experienced it with GZR?
Sultan is great but...

I'd rather get Tutorials from Sultan than wait for him to develop OPX ROM - I appreciate he is just trying to survive like everyone else.
He's great but I have to be able to understand & do for myself. I can't afford ISP but would pay SultanXda to put out Tutorial Videos using OnePlus X as an example device, so I could learn from him.
Can't wait for anyone, its too dependent better to learn for myself & teach others so they can be independent too.
I went back to OOS 3.1.4 there are too many apps I don't use on it but I like OOS Style just wish I could remove unwanted google apps get security updates on it at least

Here's a link to resurrection remix. It's pretty good. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/x82x-resurrectionremix-m-v5-7-4-t3542355. Most N roms are stable. You have instructions how to install the rom and what gapps to use in the first post on the rom thread. It's also pre rooted.
For the future, when you want to install root just flash this: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Heyyo, for the most stable Nougat ROM? I'd recommend OmniROM. It's not as bleeding edge in changes such as BlackX or Resurrection Remix but it is built for stability upon OmniROM and Darkobas kernel. Depending as well on the build of Resurrection Remix it could have battery drain issues as you'll see on and off in the thread.
OmniROM also has the advantage of signed builds by Google so they come with official SafetyNet Certification. No need of Magisk and Magisk module workarounds so things like fingerprint unlock with your banking app should work without issue unlike any other ROM I've tried with RBC app... That also means if the Le Max 2 had built in NFC that android pay would have worked without a hitch...
I believe the only other custom ROM with signed builds by Google for official SafetyNet Certification is Paranoid Android but sadly there isn't official builds for the Le Max 2 (yet). Maybe once GalacticSryder receives his Le Max 2 we will see that and built upon is custom kernel as well!
I tried porting it but I suck at it and failed haha oh well at least it turns out I'm good at vehicle repairs
If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend. Good device tree and vendor stacks and built with Blackscreen kernel for a good balance between performance and battery life.
Also, Resurrection Remix for Nougat has reached final versions so it won't be receiving updates. As far as I know for Nougat ROMs I think Slimroms and BlackX are the only ones receiving updates still as andr68rus and I believe the same with Shivatejapeddi have both changed focus to Oreo.

whoa, thanks alot for the detailed explanation.....
you really spoke highly of OmniROM (which i like) and you also said this: If you want ROMs with as much optimization as possible? BlackX or Slimroms is what I'd recommend
so which will you advise me to go for out of the three? plus which is pre-rooted or can be easily rooted?
i want to have a feel of a rooted device and see how it goes
would like to go for OmniROM (plus pls help me with links on how to get it) but let me have you final conclusion.
thanks alot for the helpful replies.

You're welcome
It's up to you which path you wish to go. As mentioned OmniROM is definitely the most stable ROM as it tends to not receive major changes as quickly as other ROMs.
The official signed builds are found here:
http://dl.omnirom.org/x2/
Any ROM is super easy to root. Only requires flashing Magisk via TWRP. I'd easily recommend it over any other form of root since it's fully open source software (FOSS) and the modules capabilities is amazing with stuff like Universal SafetyNet fix or other mods like enabling 60fps recording on the Google Camera Mod. I also really enjoy the ART Optimization mod for a little extra performance.
Magisk is found here on XDA and I'd recommend v14.3 right now because v14.0 stable has actually given me more grief heh
You can download and read up on Magisk right here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74158225&postcount=31
BlackX ROM is actually maintained by that other dude who posted here, KuranKaname and definitely has the most optimizations of the buch that I recommended. His builds are based on LineageOS with Blackscreen 3.6 kernel which is really nice. His ROM does require special Gapps which can be found in his thread with the ROM downloads as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Slimroms was the third I mentioned which is kind of is a balance between the stability of OmniROM but some of the optimization of BlackX.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-blackx-unofficial-optimized-t3668458
Since there isn't any limit on ROMs to flash you can always try out a ROM for a few days and if it doesn't quite suit your needs you can try swapping to a different ROM to see how it feels. In the end only you will know which of the three I mentioned is to your liking the most.
