So I want to slide to AOSP ROM already.. but the list is too long and my time is too short..
Could any one please report and share some of your experience with the AOSP ROMs?
Which is the most stable? and is it ready for daily use?
Compare it to the stock..
I don't care about features / android version or anything else.. just AOSP and most stable..
Your help would be extra appreciated.

Pabx is the only aosp. The others are based on Cm.
It's also incredibly stable & definitely recommended

Thank you for that recommending!
Apologies for confusing I guess I can't tell the difference between AOSP and CM (and others if there are more..)
I meant a clean version of the Android with nothing related to Sony.. no UI, no touchwiz and no sense..
Clean like the nexus..
With the quick settings on the notification bar..
Any kinds of those..
Hope thats more clear..

would you say CM and Pabx AOSP are around the same smoothness?
Personally I prefer the work that pabx has done on his aosp kernel, than what free xperia have done with CM one.
CM is nice for all the extra bits, but aosp is stripped back and basic and a chunk more responsive. I put a lightly modified version of his kernel in his thread that allows undervolting, so it's also fairly decent battery wise.
Best to try all the major ones out and see which you prefer.
FWIW sonys stock roms (Once you take out the usual extra bloat apps) are pretty close to aosp roms, they don't tend to change massive amounts from the qualcomm code.
Out of the major oems I'd say they run closest to the true android experience.
Like fards I'd recommend Pabx 4.3 ROM though it is quite bone stock AOSP. A stable CM ROM that is still quite light would be CyanX 7.0. I use it personally as my daily driver. Pretty stable and fast with good battery.

And Rashkae, sorry if it ain't in the right place, I found it more suitable to General as a discussion and not as "How do I..." question..
The forum didn't have any discuss for ROMs and opinions of each so I thought why not raise it up myself..

I love AOSP and paired with Gravity Box(xposed) it gets all the extra bits of CM.
But i still give CM based ROMs an upper hand due to features like per app dpi, PA pie, general all in one packaging and still maintaining performance.
Here are a few ROMs I like
Carbon - Loads of features, extremely fast and battery friendly(except for the latest version)
Mokee - Smooth, all usefull features.
CyanX - Stable and basic CM features and a custom kernel.
PAC - Has all the features u could think of, though a bit buggy.
Jelly bam- True all in one ROM just like PAC
Commotio/Vanir - The best ROM i've tried till now, Sooo fast, stable and great devs
A few more that I've tried : Asylum , CM 10.2 , AOKP, etc ( select yuga in device)
YouTube these ROM (check Nexus 4 videos) before you try them it has the same features irrespective of the device.
Wow thats like a database for XZ
That's extremely helpful! Thank you so much

Hello
I am trying to flash an stable ICS rom for my brothers phone but I really can't find anyone without major bugs. CM9 = to much bugs, Nyx RC 5.0 is just pure ****, Slim ICS (what the **** is wrong with the font?) So can someone recommend me a nice and clean ICS rom that is stable enough for daily use?
I just installed CM9 today and it works pretty good despite the camera and the radio (and now there are alternatives to avoid those bugs too).

CM9 is sluggish as hell so I wouldn't recommend that either. However I don't really understand your font issue with Slim ICS. It does only have 5 system languages but you can install additional fonts to display languages via the "Updater" app included.
In your case as you've eliminated Slim ICS, I guess ICS333 (Team 3xtr3m3) is probably the best one out there. AOSP based with toggles from AOKP and offers a good balance between performance and battery life, with no bugs I can really tell.
Team-Nyx (RC5) yet the most stable rom for me on ics and its pure AOSP

Actually I find cm9 to be the fastest. I've gotten the highest benchmarks compared to slim ics, aokp, etc. Plus I have a bit more trust on cyanogenmod than aokp. Team nyx is pure ics stock but its really slow. Cm9 all the way for me always.

Hi !
Unfortunately, though ICS is extremely good the Custom ICS has it's quirks !
This is because they are developed without source codes from Samsung and no matter how good they are, at a certain point they show their lack of support which they never received from the manufacturer in the first place and therefore after a few days ( or if lucky, weeks) things don't work properly and needs reboots frequently.
Having ICS is like having a short love affair.
Use Gingerbread or change phones.
Sad fact, but true.
Look at the custom ICS camera and look at the original ICS camera. Do you think that we are going to get all the goodies in the SGS ?
Similarly, there are many great features of ICS which the developers cannot give us.
Time to move on.
Take care.

Stable ROM
Hello the most stable ROM was RC4.2 with semaphore 1.1.1
Now I am on RC5 from Team Nyx. It's stable. The only thing that doesn't work is YouTube. Flashing another kernel from Devil (2_0.94) will help.

Hi.
Can you please stop posting these opinions as facts, when the "problems" can easily be fixed. This is a development forum, at least it used to be, and you cannot expect everything to work right out of the box like official stock firmware (even though it does most of the time). It's not like you've been scammed by a car salesman selling you a car without an engine.
No offense intended, but please stop it.

My apologies.
U r correct . In fact, perhaps I might go back to ICS again cause in reality, Gingerbread is not user friendly....there I go again...

Everybody has his own taste, some people like AOSP, some people like AOKP, some people like CM9 while some people like slim ROM regardless with few bugs ... also there are people here in this forum (like you) who install ROMs incorrectly n find it **** (yes i am pointing to Team Nyx's ROM). When you have tried some of the ROMs, why don't you try all of the ROMs?
p.s. Team Nyx's AOSP is the only ICS ROM I found stable and less battery consuming after slim, this is only my point of view.

I want to know your opinion, which one is a better(generally) option for a daily driver ROM on our phones based on today's options?
1- Stock/Stock based ROMs
2- Aftermarket ROMs (Like CM,Carbon ...)
It depends...CM Based are for Android Purists who don't like other designs but prefer raw and clean android
Hoever I prefer Nice UI so I go with stock based such as Existenz and the like

The stock roms is not bad, but in my opinion i'd prefer on custom rom because it has a lot of customization, but of course use it at your own risk because ur warranty will void if use custom roms. right now im using VanirAOSP in my XSP. its CM based running on kitkat 4.44 and can be used daily, im not a pro yet and i think u must read and learn and then compare them (the stock vs Custom). good luck ^.^

Vanir is much smoother than stock roms.
You dont invalidate your warranty unless you unlock bootloader (and even then keep a backup and noone will ever know).
Try out the LBL ROMs such as paranoid nexus or CM11 if you dont want to unlock the bootloader. They run really smoothly and with the right setup can be just as good as stock for power consumption (obviously non stock has no stamina mode) and personally I think better for features and performance.
You can also find most Sony apps on XDA to install should you want those (I use Sony Album, movies and Smart Connect).

So in terms of actual performance stock/stock based ROM's do better?
Why use CM11 roms? They are buggy and laggy. Just use CM10.2, it's a lot faster than stock roms and all the features are working except for FM radio, but you can use SpiritFM.
Try the custom roms and if you like them more than stock use one of them. Many people prefer them but i like more sony's stock rom, i don't have any performance issue on it and i love sony ui.

i used vanir in a few weeks, it run smooth, until i try playing HD games like MC4, and the screen is only black with the hud, no cutscene.
now i use beanstalk rom. it run smooth and i can play MC4 with no lag at all, so i guess vanir is not that perfect too,
i wanna try CM11 but the review tells that cm 11 is still buggy (am I right ?).
anyone in here try that out?
Hi,
I am using Ivan's AOSP latest build at the moment. I want to switch to another custom ROM. Which is the best ROM with high battery backup, most stable, best performance and features . Although I would appreciate some cool animations and stuff, I want the above said features as priority.
What about Mokee and cm 12.1?

Try the Paranoid Android 5.1.1 by synnyG http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/cancro-t3120485
Its very stable, fast and fluid. Battery life is pretty good, able to get through a full day on regular use. Camera quality is much much better than Ivan's AOSP build, and installing the Color OS camera port is a good idea. A few bugs exists though, but for me these were negligible compared to the lollipop goodness I was getting.
1. The Audio quality through the speaker is not like stock or Ivans AOSP, I guess this is true for other Mi3 custom roms as well. You can find fixes for this, but they merely increase the volume in the mixer_paths.xml file - quality is still not at par with stock.
2. No SIM Bug. It's there for many Lollipop based ROM's. There is a simple workaround so its not much of an issue (switch on Airplane Mode before reboot to solve the issue). Fixes via flashable zip are available on XDA as well.
Overall its a great ROM and I'm using it as my daily driver after having switched from Ivan's AOSP (KK).
SlimBit-AOSP
Hi,
coming from Ivan's AOSP you could try Bitti's SlimBit AOSP, it's fast and stable. No call drops or random reboots. I can highly recommend it.
[OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1
i'm very happy with OFFICIAL CM 12.1.
i've been using it for 3 weeks and have yet to discover a single bug! not a single reboot, no SIM bug, it's great. battery life is great, at least 24h in my case. it's very smooth, too.
one of the advantages of official CM is that you get daily/weekly updates that automatically dirty flash themselves.
others are: stock android look, lots of customisations, no bloatware, beautiful and easily installable cyanogenmod themes.
#edit:
its XDA thread is the one with (by far) the most replies (almost 1'200), indicating that there is a large community behind it. many bugs are being reported efficiently and fixed. see for example its BUG PAGE.
I use aosp and it is awesome

Hey guys I am looking for a rom that has some added features and added optimization similar to cataclysm but on the latest security base 30. i dont like aosp due to bugs and some stability issues. but i am kinda looking for something with a little better performance than just base stock since i know there can be lots of little tweaks made to optimize the stock builds. again i dont want a hybrid aosp or cm based build a pure stock optimized rom would be what im looking for similar to cataclysm. let me know what your using and how you like it.

"Which ROM is best" threads don't pan out too well on this site, mainly because the bulk of the people reading the thread will hawk the ROM they are using, without regard to what you may actually be looking for. The only way you're going to know which ROM works best for you is by installing them yourself and trying them out.
I'm a long time user of XDA and I guess my post could be interpreted as a looking for "best" I'm more just finding difficulty with hownto tell if a rom is cm aosp or stock Google fiware modified. I'm new to the Nexus scene, I've been on HTC devices for ages . and the real issue is like ive stated I've found after trying almost every ROM in the dev thread I have a few faves like PA or RR but they are slightly under developed since based on aosp or cm. I'm looking for a stock Google firmware that has been optimized . BTW my current go to is graveyard bybthe skydragon team which is amazing but I really miss that cataclysm build with all the options it had.

Yes, it is. Call it what you want: most popular, favorite, best ROM. It's still all just the same question. Everyone has massively different preferences and needs, and your experience will vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your phone. Asking strangers to make a decision for your is not only useless, it is also bizarre. You clearly already have the knowledge/ability to try various ROMs (as you stated you did). So leaving the decision to something as arbitrary as a stranger's whim (or a ROM's popularity) is just strange.
I'd also caution against using a ROM, just because it's widely used and "most popular". Plenty of times in the past, the ROM that worked best for me, was one that was less popular, and more obscure. You do yourself an injustice by ignoring these "hidden gems".
For the first time after using a smartphone, i decided to settle with Stock ROM. For me, it gives the best UI and a lot of useful options. I don't even need to tell that the Stock camera is far better than any other apps used in other Custom ROMs. Battery is really amazing too considering my way to use the cellphone( Facebook app, the great battery villain is full time here in use).

I love trying out new ROM's.

To me Oxygen beta since May has become really good, improved battery a lot.
Stock is always better
What about paranoid android?
Dear Sir,
If quick update is the requirement, the Lineage is the best and I have to say unofficial sultan 14.1 is the same as he is also quick but If you are installing sultan 14.1 for only battery back up then I think you should have a look with custom kernel such as franco and elemenatlx which are great in battery back up.
But for me and also with some other friends, stock oxygen is the best as camera is the main priority for me. For other features magisk is readily available.
Thanks to all developers for the support time to time.
