Hey folks,
the title says it all - I'm looking for the best ROM for daily usage for my wife :cyclops:
Right now she owns a HTC Sensation with CM 10.2 from Albinoman (20131028), but it's always a bit laggy and buggy.
So I need a ROM which is really smooth and - the most important thing - has a really good working camera!
Otherwise I know I will run into really big problems :laugh:
It mustn't be the newest ROM, but the most stable and smoothest - nothing less and nothing more
Any recommendations from you ROM-freaks?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your help

Okay - thanks for...nothing?!
I agree to AndreiLux' answer to the OP of the linked thread.
Why it should not be allowed to ask people about their experiences with one or another ROM
I clearly stated what I'm looking for, and stability and a working camera are truly hard-facts for which I can get recommendations.
Not to bother you...but this really doesn't help anybody.
Best regards

I can advice you to go for The Galaxy Project v11.anything for the Galaxy S3 LTE. (I'm not sure which is the latest version of v11). This is a nice rom based on stock android 4.1.2, very stable and everything works. Do not go to 4.3 yet if you want stability and everything working smoothly.
The reason "Best Rom" threads are not allowed, is because it's "subjective". It can also lead to arguments between devoted fans. Understand, not everybody at XDA is civil. Mostly, but some folks take "fan devotion" to another level and cause serious problems. I won't mention any "Team" roms that frequently troll each other. For this point, "Best Rom" threads get closed unless there is a formal official thread monitored by the moderation team.
My advice is to read the popular threads starting from the last few pages. This gives you an idea of any recent bugs in the recent releases.
Then try a couple.
Although the recent CM. Paranoid Android, AOKP and PacMan roms are nice, they are not for everybody as they can get complicated with options. I myself prefer a more stock based, odex'd ROM. With Xposed mods, custom kernel and some necessary apps.
With that said, this thread will be closed now.
Cheers

I know this have been discussed before but I cannot get a clear answer by searching this forum, googling etc.
I have been flashing many of the custom roms and they are all great work but I have too many crashes everyday. Right now maybe 3-4/day !
Usually the roms works better in the beginning but then gets worse by time.
I use my phone for business and very often I realize that my phone is just dead and no one can call me etc
I love eyecandy like Energy, Valkyrie roms etc but my first priority is stability today.
Which custom rom would you say is the most stable today ?
also .. I cannot find the last generic rom version. Link doesnt work?
Thx,
Pete
most chefs will say their rom is not bugless.. if you use your phone for business and important calls, guess you should stick to stock 6.1 or rather have a second phone
those labeled as final and unchanged for a few months or as stated above - stick to stock
sounds highly contradictory aiming for a stable and mostly bugless rom while still flashing latest wm betas...
search for generic in gtrab thread, those are not latest r3a but at least dl works
...and was it really necessary to open a new thread for these "insights"?

Sorry I didnt mean to offend or upset anyone. Just politely asking a question.
There are many many great roms but I just need to find if you find one/some particular more stable. Offcourse I accept some bugs etc but my problem is that the phone just dies several times each day.
Great work though to all chefs !
BR,
Peter
Stock rom
I have been googleing etc for hours.
I can still not find den latest swedish generic stock rom.
(I dont want the SE update service)
I want to flash with Hard SPL
All links go to the same dead link?

Another useless thread reported.
It could have been useful without all the ignorant no content answers.
You start a thread if you need answers that you are not able to find.
ie this forums sticky to generic roms is no valid.
Comparing roms from user experience is not useless.
Like a review with SE X10 vs HTC Desire.
Your answer would have been. Buy the both I am not gonna help you!
Thanks for the info I got though !
/Peter
Start with the threads with the most views or top most threads (i.e., still alive). Read the very first post, view screen shots, feature lists, bug fixes, updates, etc. Then jump to the very last page to see what sort of issues people are reporting. Some are deal breakers, and some aren't. At least you can page back a few to see if the author plans an update. Even with my post count, I never ask people what to recommend. It's something too many people ask, so I end up finding those threads first!
Custom ROM images are free for many reasons, and the biggest drawback is the lack of guarantees that the builds are bug fee.
There are generic, stripped-down ROMS... you'll need to search for those or look at the stickies.
My favorite custom ROM is Touch X 10.9.1. I've had it for a few months after trying at least 3 different ROMs.
Thanks for a great answer !
I asked for the "most stable" suggestion that means I understand that they are not bugfree or totally stable.
Itje and Wildchild seems to be high contenders.
Anyway, sorry for this thread and thanks !
I promise you I have read a lot.
I joíned 2008 and this is my first thread.
/P
@all: One thing more annoying than a question that has been asked many times before is a meaningless flaming answer. Refrain from making it useless. As far I can tell this thread has served it's purpose, and therefore I'll close it.

I am not sure xda-developers forum is the place to discuss about but now I am almost sure that our N1 will never be getting a real ICS.
I understand now that N1 hardware does not support API mapping and all we get from the developers's effort like dk_zero-cool, texasice and zyr3x is very lag rom.
Unfortunately I don't see any future on ICS here and I believe that we will stay on GB. hope that the developers will go on and develop new and better CM or sense
ron that based on GB.

1) This is for general (also, there's already threads about this).
2) This forum is for development, not for opinions.
3) N1 hardware DOES support API mapping, that's not the actual problem with ICS in N1.
4) There's already good ICS roms from developers here. If you're in a hurry to get Google's ICS (its kinda useless to need this imho, since ICS for n1 is quite good enough). Just because google doesn't give ICS to N1, doesn't mean we can't get a stable one. Sense ROMs (all of them) are a good example of this.
try to thing of this. google provided us open source android. so it mean, it is possible to run on any them. look at hp touchpad. now with CM. look at nokia n9 and samsung bada fone. all of them have ported versions of android. If you are just trying to give your opinion then be sure to post it on the right section.
If all these ICS ROMs are laggy, then you're cleary doing something wrong. You should try other setups (kernel, a2sd, developer settings). BCM has been running rock solid and smooth for like 2 months now for me (and many others).

Real quick fellas, I've been following the BCM ICS thread and, judging from his posts in there (on top of this thread), please realize Mexus is a pure and unadulterated troll.
He has repeatedly disparaged the efforts of a lot of prominent developers (as well as members) here on XDA in a manner I find to be tremendously disrespectful and ungrateful.
Out of respect for all the hard-working devs here, especially the ICS ones who are giving up so much of their time, I'd like to ask you not to post any more responses in this thread and to not respond to any other rude posts of his you may come across.
Mexus, I hope you'll learn that your attitude does nothing to benefit this community, and that you should work to improve said attitude so that the things you say don't end up being disrespectful, unhelpful, and, ultimately, 100% unnecessary.
@mexus88: You just joined the XDA in April 2012 and already stir the trouble. We would appreciate if you don't post negative comments.
@mexus88: I'm not your opinion.
BCM ist enough fast and almost stable in the newest version.
This is my real ICS, good enough as daily driver.
Guys don't blame mexus88 he is new to this forum..but be + ..ics is almost perfect...one of the ics roms is in alpha..but I see a light in that

No point in having this thread. Every rom has its rights and user. You can try and find out yourself. There are only handful of ROMs. Important thing is still 4.2.1 is not that ready yet. If you want, try OFFICIAL NIGHTLIES FROM CM10.1 or Asylum(cm10.1) or Stunner 2.0(AOKP) which I have used before. I might have missed out some here but never tried them. My choice would be a Stunner... . Please feel free to try them and find out yourself rather than somebody suggesting you to. After all they are here to download and try. Good luck.

First, wrong section.. You are asking questions so this should be in the q&a
Second, that's very subjetive questions.. The rom that has it all and it's the best thing that ever happened in my life... Could be the worst piece of crap for you.. So go find out by yourself
Tapatalking on my n7000
C'mon guys, can we show a bit more love here?
I don't think this should be in Q&A, as it's a question that's meant to generate discussion and comment. It could easily have been rephrased as - "Comparisons between 4.2.1 ROMS". It doesn't have a question mark at the end, so now it's OK even though it would be discussing the same thing? Or it could have been a "POLL: Best 4.2.1 ROM", and it'd be ok?
And yes, we can tell people to go try all the ROMs out there, but what's the harm in someone asking for other users comments on their experiences? Afterall, isn't this meant to be a place of discussion? I've found it enormously useful to have discussions like the OP is asking for, and it'd be a shame that these discussions don't take place anymore.
To try to contribute to the OP's question - I've used Asylum and have loved it. It has saved my Note. Had been very frustrated with the lag that came with the TW ROMs but now it's brought my Note back to life again. I've been wanting to try Stunner, and based on Galaxtus' comment that he prefers Stunner the most, I will give that ROM a try too. (So thank you, Galaxtus for that very helpful comment!).
official CM 10.1 of course.

As with all "best" threads, there is no best. You need to try some out, and see which one is best for you.
Hi,
I'm currently looking for a nice stable KitKat rom. In testing asylum right now. I really like the dark interface. Looks pretty nice on amoled. I have some wlan and camera probs though.
The original omni and slimkat seem to be good choices, too.
I want a fully working nice rom asap and not test for days or weeks. Unfortunately I have other stuff to do
Can someone give me some pros and cons of those or other roms, pls? Which one delivers the most stable build atm.
Thanks a lot

If you read the rules and have browsed a few of the headlines you should already know that BEST is not allowed and in violation of the rules. Try them yourself!
Sorry, didn't know that this is not allowed. Just wanted to know which rom runs without any issues

Unless stated otherwise, each Rom will have their full description in the OP including known bugs. Of course individual hardware condition also play a part in generating issues. The best solution is to always do a full, clean flash whenever flashing a new rom.
And to answer your enquiry, all developers who cooked the roms have made the roms in accordance to survey, latest updates, and mostly from personal preference so again what might be an issue to you might not be to many others. As a weekly flasher, the best way to know how good a rom is of course to try it ourselves, it's all the fun of flashing cusrom about.

I think everyone already stated the reasons why this thread is being closed
The BEST ROM is the one that works BEST for YOU. Read the ROM threads...it is full of members who think THAT ROM is the best.
You need to find out what works best for you, your phone/apps/usage/signal/setup.

In addition to what Kenny said, please do not use the mention system to "summon" moderators, I have been at work throughout the day so wasn't online, meaning mentioning me is useless (at weekends at any rate). Please use the report system for matters concerning forum/thread moderation.
Thanks.

For this issue I think you need to change the network type I guess. Search in the discussion forum made for NitrogenOS 8.1 - someone posted the type of network there. I set it to LTE but I had that problem, had to change it to WCDMA or something NOT SURE.
As for the next question goes, I'm waiting for Dirty Unicorns to come out. The sources are stable already, they are taking a bit more time. DU always had been my most favorite custom ROM for every reason under the sun. But for OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T - I was never actually too keen to get a custom ROM. OOS is the best OEM ROM hands down !!
Addressing your calling issue, as mentioned above, that may be a settings issue where you can probably fix it.
But on to your other question in the title, there's no "Best ROM". Everyone will give you a different ROM based on their experience and how they've installed Add-ons to their ROM. All ROMs are created equal, and they all are different in some way. Don't ask what the Best ROM is, just do trial and error flashes of ROMs, and see what best suits you. Asking a question like this will only leave you more confused than you were before you posted this.
Agree with Devlamania OOS is way better than other custom rom, so go for OOS 4.1.5 nougat or any oreo variant.
Best 8.1 ROM is OmniRom or Dirty Unicorns v12 for stability, however I prefer Pixel Experience.

Asking for "favorite ROM" isn't any better or different then "best ROM". There are enough existing threads like this. The question is always asked by folks too lazy to read about the ROM features, and make their own decisions. Or just look at the existing "favorite/best ROM" threads.
