[Q] Advantages of different ROMs? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running ARHD 12 on my phone with Nova and I love it. However, I have been reading about other ROMS and their advantages. What ROMS do you suggest I try, and what are their main advantages?
Thanks!

Nameless is outdated and slow. If you want you can search for the "Stock Unrooted" Rom by Russell, Pretty much what it says.
I would recommend though that you switch to CM10. I did that because hate sense. And a lot more reasons .

Yeah, but as far as I know cm10 is not stable (wifi issues and others), is it?
Its stable now .Thanks to @cute_prince , @solk2 and @nikhil16242

Information and Help

Hello,
I'm new here and I'm looking for a good stable rom for my daily use (fully functional) and most importantly stable , I'm actually tired of how my phone performs on the stock rom, I would like to have fast and smooth performance. Is there anything possible? Help and suggesstions will be highly appreciated.
I'm using the Rogers HTC Raider 4G.
Regards.
No one?
I think the best way to do it is to try each one for a couple of days, while making notes about their pros & cons. One person could tell you that one rom is the best, while another could tell you a different rom is the best. It's all up to you.

This is a developers forum, there are a lot of roms here for one device, I'm not a developer, I'm just an individual looking for one or two. All I'm saying is that, a developer has knowledge and experience, if a developer would care to suggest one or two, I would be out of the scenario of trying each one, because for a daily user like me, it would be a pain. You know what I'm saying, right?

And each dev would steer you towards their own ROM...
Hence the 'try them all and figure it out for yourself'
Or..
Read the threads to see which one sounds like the one for you

I have read two complete threads of two roms, and I have tried one, but I'm having a hard time knowing which one is stable, I want some dev, any dev to point out at a stable rom.

OK...
I hate to do this...
But
CM 11 is nice and stable... But old...
PAC 4.4.4 is stable-ish... Has some bugs... But its in nightlies... So bugs come and go...
Ressurection Remix is really nice and stable... But very old... So you'll have some compatibility issues with things...
Any of the CM 10.2 ROMs are bad battery drainers due to old kernel issues...
Ditto for the CM 10 ROMs...
I hate sense... But any of the sense based ROMs are really stable... If you go with those... Kozmik's kernel is very nice... The senseless sense ROMs are a little messy... But very usable...

Just what I wanted to see, thanks a lot!
One more thing, the CM 11 is the 4.2.2 Rom isn't it? I've seen it on some Raiders these days, is it good for daily use?
Thankyou again.
@rignfool
I'm restricted to post in the other thread, is Kozmik's kernel compatible with the stock ICS sense 3.6 rom?
And if so, is it possible to flash it via fastboot through pc? Because I'm currently S-on and don't plan to go S-off.
Mentioning again that I have a Roger's HTC Raider.

No... Kozmik requires s-off...
If that is the case... Try faux's kernel...
And... Use intellidemand

Is there a way to fix batery drain ? Which other kernel will work for cm 10.2 without s-off ?

And about a Jellybean ROM ? The Touchwiz Rom work without s-off ?

CoCore

Sometimes on my i9070 I experience some lag. Sometimes much, sometimes a little. I've read some posts here to look into some issues with this phone and came across something (a kernel I believe) called CoCore. It seems it is used for overclocking the processor for a nice performance boost.
At the moment the phone is running unofficial cyanogenmod 11. Will it be wise or helpfull to install this CoCore on the device? And what are the risks involved?
Cocore kernel is for stock ROM. CM 11 has its own kernel that is based on Cocore too. Try using Greenify app maybe on the apps you don't use often that might run in the background. Search for the app on Playstore or here on xda.

Hmm, so what do you think gives a smoother phone? Stock with cocore or a custom rom?

If you're on stock rom, try lagfix free app on play store. It helped me.

I notice it too. So it seems that it is not a placebo.
Do you think it's better then custom roms or stock rom with CoCore?

Indeed, as demonstrated in my latest two posts of this topic.
No miracle, but it helps to speed memory write operations in different situations.

Lagfix is not a kernel, just an app to run regularly (manually if you use free version).
Personally I think that, if you don't have the patience to customize Stock Rom with Cocore kernel properly, you should try some Android 4.4 Custom Rom until you find a good one for you.
I keep using Stock Rom just for one reason, I customized it too much and I'm too lazy to start again.
Thanks a lot for all of your answers. I think I will keep using this room I'm using right now and when I get bored I'll try a version of jb with lagfix, or maybe I will just use stock with CoCore. The rom I'm using now sure is very stable.
Everything goes to show that it's all good and just a matter of personal taste. But some roms are definitely better than others.
room you are using

At the moment it has cyanogenmod 11 (unofficial), with flattington theme. This doesn't make the phone faster, but it doesn't have hangups or lag like touchwiz. It's a very nice looking theme!

Self-compiled CM for damn sure - it's already grown into a habit.
To get back what I love about HTC devices, I installed a minimal part of xpirt's Sense Home bundle (Home, Service Pack, Weather) and a Sense 7 theme, and the result is pretty nice.

I just remembered, I'm a liar. I did use TB once on my Desire, and that failed miserably so I decided it's a piece of c**p app and I decided I don't need it [emoji23]
I am quite partial to Lollipop GPE roms, particularly stock roms. However if I want a long term stable rom, I always end up going back to a Kitkat Sense 6 rom as they provide the best for battery life and smoothest performance.
TB?

Have u tried NuSense7 yet? It's smoother and more dependable than any rom I've ever been on, stock sense 6 included. I'm on the Verizon version as I'm on a vzw m7, however I know @santod040 knows what he's doing with anything m7 related, and I know he has the same rom available for wwe/international m7 as well.

Ahh gotcha, I run Amplify+Greenify+Power Nap on it so I can honestly say battery drain is practically non-existent

Which ROM for most settings and customizability?

Which ROM should I install if I want the most amount of settings and ways to customize things?
Some additional thoughts...
Does one even need a custom ROM these days, or can most things be changed using "Xposed installer"?
Are there any drawbacks using a custom ROM?
1. RR is a good choice IMO.
2. More features to play with. Themes. More updates.
3. Xposed doesn't exist on Nougat.
4. Nope except not be able to use full stock features. Stability? It depends on the ROMs and the maturity of the Android version.

Oxygen OS apps (but you can get a port version for Camera and Gallery)
Dark UI (but you can flash a ROM supporting Substratum)
...
I don't remember OOS well and since I have a preference for custom ROMs over stock firmware I can't give you many reasons to stay on OOS. If you want to have the latest Android version, some day you will have flash a custom ROM.

I've spent ten minutes trying to figure out which one is the official (or best) version of Resurrection Remix. Can you point me in the right way?
The one in your signature says it has a pirate-icon if you install pirate stuff. And while I may not do that, I still don't like the idea of that.
So which RR would you recommend?

Both versions have this anti piracy measure I think.
I recommend the unofficial builds since I'm using them ?
It has extra features such as delta updates, signature spoofing support,... and the dev is always available to help and answer our questions.

You could have just flashed the ROM days ago, and have decided yourself; instead of waiting for others to dictate what you will or will not like. And just because someone recommends it, doesn't mean you will even like it.

Agreed.
Agreed nicesoni ash has the best build in my opinion and the dev is great and very supportive of the rom and it's users. And there are lots of unofficial builds for nicesonis rom but you only need to install the latest one.
