Hello everyone
I am looking for a fastest and stable rom with minimal features. I dont require anything fancy. It also does not matter if it is gingerbread or jelly bean, or custom or stock. The only requirement is it should be fast and stable.
Can you please suggest which would be the best rom as I have tried searching the threads but it seems to be a sea of different roms with many technical terms which I dont completely understand.
Currently I am using Remics jellybean.
Thanks and regards
you can try CyanogenMod 10.1 by ADC-Team - Release 8 and K^Kernel 3.4.x OC/EXUV 390MB
Remics is already fast
I have been using the tweaks in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46566228#post46566228
The device is fast and stable enough for enjoyable usage.
Also install and use Clean Master ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard ) regularly to cleanup cache and logs and temporary files.
Using Greenify ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify ) also is great to save memory on background process.

I agree that remics is fast. However I was hoping that there might be a faster rom (because of less minimal features) since I dont require the fancy features of jellybean.

Is there a tutorial or some documentation to implement these changes because reading the post it looks quite tough!

Hello
Is there any link and tutorial to download and install this? Also I didnt understand what you meant by "no selinux active".
CM 10.2 nightly ==> https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=galaxysmtd&type=
Sema-Kernel ==> http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220
How you can Flash a kernel like Sema ==> Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQVj-tPDOXo
BigMEM-Libs for Sema-Kernel 3.2.0s ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44495730&postcount=16
Flash via CWM-Recovery
Sine Android 4.3.x SeLinux is an security enhancement...it is activated on "Standard"-CM 10.2 ==> look under Settings ==> About the device at the bottom "SeLinuxStatus" and with Sema-Kernel is gets disbled for more performance - i think ...
Hope i can help you...

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.
Maybe is not the newer ROM around but my I9000 was flying with cyanogen 10.0.
10.1 was not so fast on my phone.
10.2 is... too esoteric
No Prob hope i could help, and when you`ve questions ask ...

Fastest and stable rom with minimal features
CyanAOSP JB 4.3 v1.4.5 [Stable - For Gaming ] or [Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1
these ROMS are fast..
try the CyanAOSP JB 4.3 if you want minimal features...
Mackey ROM, beast ROM, Slim Bean and Gamerzrom are the light and stable ROMs for gaming and performance
Another way could be freeing your android from any app you do not need ...gives more RAM to your android ...
Very stupid question, I know, but:
I've been googling and searching on this site for 2 days looking for a list of absolutely necessary apps or of the apps that can be unistalled without affecting Basic function: phone, SMS and data tranfer.
Is there a way to uninstall in the Settings/Apps/ the apps for which there is no uninstall Option or this Option is greyed-out?
You would made a great dead and give me more time to Play with my Kids if you could maybe point me to a posting on the Forum where these question were addressed.
Thanx in advance.

Use an app like Titanium backup, Root Explorer or Root browser, navigate to /system/app, then delete all the apks you don't want.
After that, reboot the device.

I tried hellybean once again. I had been using cm7.2 and cm10.1 nightlies until 20130723 build was released. this is the best release of the devilkernel and hellybean in a long while. This is probably because cm10.1 is pretty darn stable right now.
Anyways, with hellybean you need the devil kernel manager app to configure it properly. You can also use nstools to undervolt, but it's alright even if you don't.
It's basically cm10.1 but you get the devilkernel and the xposed framework with the rom. You'll have to install the gapps for android 4.2 separately.
http://hellybean.com/I900042.html
It's really a great kernel (right now, semaphore is good too), and the 20130723 release is great. Battery is decent, performance is flawless if you tweak it. Use the dkm app and also enter Systemsettings -> System -> Find "Build.prop Mods" -> set wifi scan interval to 150, pm sleep to "power collapse", dalvik cache to 48m and enable gpu acceleration at the bottom. These tweaks might be "placebo/sugarpills" but it shouldn't cause problems. You can check "optimize tcp stack" too, not that I notice the difference really.
In DKM app, you could set ram setting to "XL", enable zram and set zramsize to 150. on the cpu tab, use smartassv2 governor with the powersave profile, or normal difference is negligable. Enable deep idle if you want. next page, enable fast charge if you know to disable it when you want to transfer files over usb. On the misc tab, make sure bluetooth kill is on, fsync control is off and dynamic fsync is on. Smooth ui should be on if you feel it's laggy otherwise.
That's how I've configured it for now. I don't think I'll upgrade hellybean for a while, that usually leads to unstability and/or performance loss.
ThinkingBridge ROM
ROM: ThinkingBridge ROM Stable-1
Theme it with : SGS IV - TW + AccuWeather S4
Mod with: Fly-On Mod
And finally install Greenify for better RAM management.
And you are good for a very long time!!

Hi guys great topic, i'm deeply interested.
A friend of mine gave me her i9000 to "repair" because it was laggy as hell.
I tried few roms last week with her criterions :
Not laggy for common tasks (almost no gaming) even with few widgets on home screen
Good battery life is a plus
I first tried some JB rom (C-Rom, SuperNexus) great experience but they were laggy as hell with few apps installed (i had about 5sec lag between each action). I see that you guys recomment hellybean, would you feel that the smoothness would be better?
I did'nt try ICS roms as i see in the dev section that most of them are abandonned.
I finally tried a GB (JWB), the smoothness is better but i experience big lags on the calling apps (remake all my call multiple times when i finished it...). I guess the best option would be the GB smoothness without this laggy call app.
What would be your recommendations? more searching in the JB roms (hellybean etc.)? or trying CM7, or other GB stocks?
thanks in advance for your recommendations,
CM7 is great in performance - fastest ROM i've tried for i9000, but if no new features needed.
Using CM 10.2 for about a week and it feels good and have some battery-friendly features.
Better to make full wipe before installing any of 4+ roms
Thanks, my todo list is now:
RemICS
HellyBean
carbon rom(unofficial by aways) + devil kernel
SlimBean
Any other suggestion?

CM10.1.3 recent RC build (pawitp's thread). Battery life maybe won't be great, but the build is excellent.
Meanwhile CM10.2 works for some people perfectly well (like for myself), but for some others not. It is even faster and gives about double battery life than the CM10.1x
Check threads by the developer pawitp
(if you flash CM10x, pay attention to flash compatible gapps for that android(x) version right after the CM build, it isn't mentioned in the first post anymore for some reson)
thanks for your clear answer, when i'll be ready to change rom i'll follow your suggestions!
Meanwhile, i'd really like to get s3\s4 icons on my gingerbread value pack...can you suggest me a mod for this purpose? i digged through tens of pages here in xda but i didn't find anything for my firmware

There's always launchers and icon packs for them...
As far as I'm aware there's no S3/S4 icon pack for stock roms and the stock launcher alone, however there is a complete S3 theme (it goes beyond the icons and themed everything else) for two GB custom roms out there..

The best thing would be to check it for yourself. Every phone is different, something that behaves well here could work different on your device.
Thanks krzysiekx,
I´ve already tried those three ROM and could not find any differences regarding stability, that´s why i´m asking for other mentions in this thread. Maybe other user have had some differences in stability. But thank you for your answer anyway... :good:

I had CM 10.x on Semaphore 2.7 kernel when I first bought my phone and it was great, everything was smooth and I had no battery problems. Now I installed CM 10.2 last RC version and it was quite battery consuming and laggy on my SGS
No Rom is fully SD stable but i suggest cm10.1 (nearly perfect for me)

Indeed i was both curious for the newest versions of android and for the most stable (AND light) rom around...i refuse to do one step forward if i have to stop at ICS, it doesn't give me more than what i got on GB
@ everybody: i searched for s3\s4 icons packs but i didn't find anything relevant. now i'm using a deodexed rom based on 2.3.6 value pack...links would be muc appreciated

Well there are many out there, you can choose any if you want, my custom rom at the moment is SuperNexus (not many features but stable).... If you use Slim bean then it will give you a signal error message build 4.3 as it has a bug but as soon as 4.3 build 1 is released use that one... Next on the list is cyanogen one of the most famous rom used (advanced options for settings, personalize you lr devixe manage speed and etc)...

I support CM 10.1 since it is very stable and also very famous. But there are a lot good ROM out there such as MIUI. If you are a newbie, I advise you to take CM 10.1.. since it is well-known stable and good to use. Once you have experience on the process of installing ROM, then you will know the way to install other ROM .. The most important is --- Follow the instruction during installation :good:

Well , the most stable KK and JB rom's are cyanogenmod and omnirom.
When speaking of JB rom's I personally recommend cm10.1 for stability and overall performance.
When talking about KK rom's ..the most stable and probably the only ones are omnirom 4.4.2 and cyanogenmod 11. I can't say which is best because I've only tried cm11 but I've seen a lot of posts saying that omnirom is pretty good aswell. The best way to figure out which one works better for what you want is to try them , even though fast can't really be an attribute for our phones running android 4+. Good luck !

Unless I'm mistaken...
1) Put APK physical on phone
2) Enable "Unknown sources" in Security settings to install APK's from phone
3) use a/the file browser and point to your APK, chose to install it
4) To go Apps in settings, find your installed app and open it
5) Tick on Enable Privacy Guard
Something like this?
** EDIT **
If it's a privacy setting in your MMS.apk -- most likely, since the CM's Privacy will render MMS.apk useless as it won't give access to personal data -- go check that in your app.
Hi there.
I been spending several hours reading user's opinions about several roms for the xsp.
I saw plenty of unofficial roms based on cyanogenmod official roms. And the question that pops into my mind it's.
Why so many mods? People doesn't like the official releases?
Also I been reading that 5.1 roms are laggy, and in a custom rom i'm looking for stability and performance.
Maybe I should go for and official cyanogenmod 11 rom?
Maybe for a stock based rom?
What do you think?
Hello.
Yes, there is a lot of rom for SP. But just a few work as it supposed to.
Lollipop it is in his nightly stage, though is very stable and the most recent apps, you will be able to use.
There is too a recent patch for security, we should take in consideration, Im using myself as a daily driver without problems, nevertheless still have some minor bugs, but nothing that cant make you wish to throw your SP on wall
If you want to test and see how looks like, I would recommend Sabermod Unofficial Or CM 12.1 Official Nightly
cm12.1+ addons imo cuz it's my second full month on it and it never failed me ....no problems for me and great performance

battery is good too yep
Go for CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies with addons...Its Best for lollipop based ROMs.
You can try unofficial CM13 also if you can use the phone without camera. Battery life and performance of CM13 is far better than cm 12.1.
To be honest, is a matter of usage and preference. For me it was working fine but my phone got way too hot for my taste, but the deal breaker was that no matter what lolipop ROM I used facebook HD playback was choppy as hell. I know that it sounds silly but that's something that I need. None of these issues exist on stock, of course (C5306 - 1.205)
I think the Sabermod unofficial takes the lead on cm12.1 ... Great battery and butter smooth. I think it' s the for performance and battery !
I use official CM11 slimmed by me, without gapps, disabled LogCat, little modified build.prop + WilliamsPLUS and I'm really happy ; p
which 5.1 rom has fewer lag and more batterylife?
@beodo
A sea of roms but many of them are discontinued or not updated, so first check that one.
As fellow members said CyanogenMod 12.1 Unofficial SaberMod with add ons is the best right now for me as well, very fast, really fluid,stable and good battery life, in is some parts is even better than the latest official stock rom.
I m using this rom for over a month and i love it.
If you need even better battery life you could use Helium kernel (just dirty flash at recovery) and enable conservative governor, if you would like to take it further you can also install xposed framework which unlocks you much more features like power saving better experience, extra customization and more.
All of the above are continuously updated and supported by our great developers too :good:
@iceweek
The above answers you question as well
Thinking about trying this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-stryflex2013266073-lp-official-sony-t3180637
Is this one stable for daily use?
Also, do I have to download Latest Xperia Apps Installer.zip if I am using latest ultimate zip?
Please reply.
