Hi,
I'm looking for a fast and light ROM. I have a Nexus 4 now so my tablet is pretty much just used for taking notes at University and watching the occasional YouTube video.
I looked and managed to find AOKP M6 Slim, however this seems to be discontinued and as a result, outdated.
If installing a more feature-heavy ROM and removing features is viable, could someone point me in the right direction to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Probably should look in the nexus 4 forum

EDIT:
Sorry, I was half asleep when I posted my last reply.
I'm not looking for a Nexus 4 ROM, but a galaxy tab ROM.
If anyone could help?

You could try both the CM10 and AOSP ROMS in the developers section.
I prefer CM10 though.

I just put serendipity 6 on my buddys captivate. I don't know anything about the development for this phone so I kinda had to wing it to pick which rom to put on. He was on eclair . He loves it the new.but my question is, any reason to put serendipity 7 on it instead or any other ROM for that matter? I want to give him the best stability and battery with customization. Any help is.appreciated
I do have to say this was a fun phone to mess around with for the first time

Sorry, there is no quick answer. ROM selection is a personal preference thing.
However there is a thread on xda comparing roms battery performance. If I remember correctly serendipity was among the top. Fasty was up there too.
I'll look for the link when I get home and edit my post.
Thanks for the reply. I just want to leave him with something that it's stable and if serendipity I'd up there.my job is done.thanks man

I found the thread I had mentioned, but it's old. It has been almost a year since there were any constructive posts. It was full of squabbling, so I won't bring it back to life by posting a link to it. Too bad though, cause the guy who started it had good intentions.
Probably best to let this thread die also. Battery / performance comparison threads seem to get ugly after a while.

this phone is almost three + years old. so many ppl have moved to newer versions. those who still has this phone are moved on to ICS (Ice cream Sand-witch (4.0.4) based ROMs. ICS is fast, stable and good on battery as well.
that's why there is no action on GB based ROMS.
I am on Slim ICS and highly recommend it.
until they get the encryption unsuccessful bug worked out that is a pretty good reason to recommend staying with the gingerbread roms
i suggest you go with gingerbread because it was tested that it has a better battery performance plus the graphics drivers upgraded.
Legend 4 is the most active GB ROM with current and helpful developers still active. I run it with no problems.

Hello there XDA!
I have just bought this phone after realising that I just can't stand the terrible piece of thing, HTC Desire Z anymore. Saw the unveiling of the S4 and wasn't too impressed and decided to just get the S3.
I haven't got the S3 yet though, will receive it sometime in the next 2-3 days.
Anyway, got a two questions here..
1) Why are there very little support for the I9305 version of the S3 on XDA compared to the I9300? (Android Development sub-forum, by the way) I was going to get the I9300 because of this but the store I went to didn't have them anymore. I really am planning to have this phone for a long time but the lack of support here worries me.
2) What is the best mod and ROM to use on the device? I will be rooting this. I'm looking for a smooth experience using the device as well as a quite decent battery life. I want to know the general opinions on here on which is the best rom.
That's all folks! Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

CyanogenMod, but really I would have gone with a Nexus 4 or Xperia Z at this time.

Nexus 4 had no removable storage and the Xperia Z is a tad bit overpriced here so, S3 was the way to go. Plus the specifications on the S3 is good enough for me especially the screen size, I don't really need a 1080p screen.
Thanks anyway!
If you want a Stock ROM but optimised, go for Wanamlite.
CyanogenMOD is AOSP so you'd lose some Samsung features and the camera isn't as great.
BTW, great to see more Bruneians here on XDA!
I'm on ripper rom themed with domination. OC'ed to 1.5 with yank kernel.
Getting 5.30h on screen time heavy use.
I tried cyanogen on my normal 9300 but battery time : waaaay too weak. +lots of lag.
So don't really like it.

Hello fellow countryman!

I would actually try most, if not all, if I could but unfortunately, internet speed is pretty terrible at times..
the second question is against the rules.
You will love the s3 lte and from my experience the best ROM for overall is pandoriam which has a lot to offer in terms of performance and customization with all the goodies from stock.
Anyways enjoy one of the best phones on the market if not the best!
Sent from a Galaxy far away!!
again, DON'T discuss which ROM is best
I'm sorry. I've only read that a few days after I made this thread.
Anyways, currently enjoying the smooth and fluid experience with RipperROM as well as the CrossBreeder mod. I am really loving this phone so far. Huge step up from my previous phone, Desire Z.

It's not a matter of specifications, the specs are good enough. The problem is that Samsung don't support the developers by releasing the source code they need in order to properly port CyanogenMod and AOSP-based ROMs to their devices. What this means is that devices with an Exynos4 processor, such as our lovely I9305s, will never get officially stable CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based ROMs like ParanoidAndroid or AOKP, there are just too many blanks to fill. With an Exynos4-based device you can expect to live with graphics glitches, higher than normal battery drain from modem, and no project butter support. Presuming Samsung doesn't eventually release the source (seeming more and more unlikely now that the Exynos4 isn't even their top-of-the-line processor).
Yeah, I can see how that's a problem. I think the same thing happened with Desire Z where HTC did not give out the source code for the camera or something..

Ok, so his question was against the rules, but the responses weren't necessarily. The second one didn't say what was the best, it said what the poster was using.
Factual information about a ROM is very different than pure speculation about what's the best.
Did it really make your life worse having those two helpful posts on this thread for the guy?
Hello everyone, a couple of days ago I saw the video for the leaked Samsung Firmware for the GT-N7100 Note II (N7100XXUEMI6). I quite liked what I saw, I think that its quite an improvement compare to what the GT-N7000 Note I has got so far.
So I bring this question to Devs here on XDA. Do you (Devs) think it would be posible to port this to the GT-N7000 Note I? Do you think it would run smoothly on our device? Would it work properlly?
Hope to hear (read) your thoughts about it soon.
Best regards from Venezuela.

Well i did kind of the same question in a topic, and the answer was no.Why ?, well different cpu,gpu,screen size, and of course it would take too much work to make it work.But then again im pretty much optimistic and i hope someone comes overe here and shut my mouth

Sent from the great N7000 usig P.A.C MAN 4.3 rom
So I know its just out and google needs to release the 4.4 code, but aren't we all exited for ROMS!!!!!! So let the developers start doing their magic and giving it to us on the nexus 5...
What ROM are you most exited to see, and what are your most favourite features about the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4.
Happy posting
Don't forget, if you choose other, tell us which Rom you are looking forward to!!
NOTE!!! 1. I didn't have a nexus 4, so i don't know all the Roms and everything about them, and I own an S4 I9500, so you can know how I fell about custom Roms :/
2. I AM NOT SAYING ONE ROM IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. This is just asking for opinions on what are you exited to see the most.
looking forward to some Paranoid Android custom DPI settings whoooooo
Looking forward to cm

DU for life!! @Mazda :highfive:
CM is moving away from their original direction :sad:
never has been a fan of PA. Tried it a million times, but phone performance is just annoying. Right now i'm reverting back to stock from PA on my N4, because it freezes at least once every hour.
I guess I'll go with stock.

Thats a new Rom for me, seems badass!!
Problem is that for my I9000 I had tons of Roms then I got the I9500 and was disappointed in the lack of Roms....Hopefully Nexus 5 will have tons of them!!
RasBean or Saber for me.

Cyan or Carbon.
I honestly don't like any of the others. Loved Cyan on my N1, and NS. Loved Carbon on my N4. Can't wait to see what they're both like on the N5.
Cyan is mostly stable, and coming with less features. And Carbon is like the younger CM(mostly stable, with tons of features).
be good to see what direction PA is going to go as they said starting 4.4 they were changing direction at how they do things

This page was made for Flashaholics....HAHA
I have MIUI on my N4 atm.
Dont know if they will have a ROM for the N5 so I´ll try Carbon for my first time (heard a loft of good things about it)
You actually are saying which ROM is better. Why would anyone be "excited" for a inferior ROM?

Hi all,
I was gone for quite a while so lost track of all the projects in place for Galaxy Ace. I'm currently looking for a light ROM to use, but I'm unable to find anything concrete. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
Thanks
P.S: I went straight to Adrenaline™ ROM Final Edition because that was what I remembered from last year. Any other new options available?

Try AOSP Cooper for Gingerbread by @SpaceCaker. It is incredibly light, fast and stable. Here is the link,

Well cyanogenmod 7 is pretty good for me. Doesn't lag as often as cm 9 and above
