ROMS, kernels and their bugs

hello all
i would like to discuss about bugs in roms + kernels that you use or have used, so we can easily choose the one we like/need/choose
so far i have tried:
1. CM9 + Nova HD 1.1.0
- couldn't get over the fact of non working camera and video acceleration
2. CM 7.2.0 stable + default kernel
- main problem was random network loos and bricking over night while charging...
- any other CM7 nightly or stable rom + any kernel haven't solved those 2 problems...
3. DjangoManouche 1.2.1 + Harsh kernel
- when starting Wifi hotspot, it reports error
My current setup:
ROM: DjangoManouche 1.2.1
Kernel: guestekrnL-v1.8.1-HighOC-BestBattery
ICS Transformation Pack
been using my current setup for 7 days now, no bugs detected yet...
What about you, your setup and bugs you've noticet in time...please write here...

The latest Temasek CM7 build along with his kernel. Currently I'm using the Etana Kernel without OC though. Works fine too.

ALL CM9 ROMS - after flash - smooth and fast, after few days of using slow as hell

I am using WIUI 2.3.7 for 10 days now. It's so bugless and stable and responsive that it's boring to use after I've set it up to my liking. It just works and it's so battery friendly. Three days phone usage with music playing like 1 hour a day and talking for like 15-20 minutes. Oh and yeah, data is OFF only during night. It's the best ROM I've used. Ever.

cm7
Cm7 kang 121 or what ever i think tesmaks kernel had a other but was to compliqated but now i still nit happy because for driver with any over clock app i only have power save or perfemance, but i like ondemand but yeah so
Same ass you cm7 phone off after charge at night need pull out battery and put it back in to restart phone..... ow and i have a sd bug
Some times the phone doesnt see my 16 gb sd card but keeps looking for it, so the sd card slot is over heating but realy hot like to hot to touch so yeah.
Somw bugs but yeah wait for cm9 i mean full ics and then cm9
But battery is okay i have baseband 725v10(something) and rill same and is realy good and i think powersave helps to but voila.

My setup
I am using
ROM CM7.20120701 with
Kernel CM7 ETaNa_LOC_DS
overclocked to 1216 MHz
only issue so far is the dock dissapears once in a while and i have to reset ADW EX. then it comes back... other than that its an amazing setup and kernel...BIG thanks goes to the developers :good:

1. Temasek Build 130
- best ROM without any BSOD problem im using temasek rom stock kernel
- no leakage of ram after 60hrs up time
- BUGS: i dont konw if its bug but the widget of application that i installed is not shown in widget selections
2. Paranoidandroid
- super smooth perfect font size but the ram is too low as i remember its around 140-200mb newly flash
3. chuck norris
- great rom but after a few minutes it have BSOD i test it by locking and unlocking my phone quickly in temasek rom i do that also never experienced it when im using stock cm7 kernel
- low ram because of the go launcher it have a lot go launcher processes
4. MIUI
- iphone experience very smooth but same thing as chuck norris lot of background process because of the go launcher

Tried many, including owen's cm9 and temasek's cm7. Problem is they all end up being sticky as syrup unless you do a factory reset every fortnight or even more frequently. So for me, the best solution is stock LG ROM with stock kernel, rooted. I still need to do the resets, but I am experiencing fewer bugs. I still appreciate all the hard work from all of you developers, though.

Temasek 135 on v20q(italy) BB : gps drains battery
Hi all,
my first post on XDA, hope it helps.
Temasek 135 on v20q(italy) BB
Phone sold (and bought) in Italy.
LG original USB Charger
LG original included Battery
(LG FL-53HN 1500mAh)
Battery age: about 1 year
OPERATOR : WIND Italia
initial ROM : Stock V20Q (italian original ROM)
phone rooted, CWM installed
installed TEMASEK 135 (all default : ril 0218, Temasek135 kernel)
installed gapps
installed Google maps 6.11.1
CPU : Default (frequency range : 216/1000)
TESTING :
Short version : everything ok, except
- battery drain with gps/wifi localization
- volume keys sometimes don't wake up phone.
Long version:
OVERALL STABILITY : OK
1) RADIO HW:
1a) 2G : ok ; 2G/3G : ok
1b) WIRELESS
-Wireless client : seems ok
-AP(hotspot): no encryption : ok ; encrypted : ??
1c) GPS : may fail to fix. Solution: start gps and reboot phone.
(this appears to be a generic android gingerbread problem)
1d) Bluetooth : still to be tested.
2)TEGRA2 HW Acc
2a) GAME : GUERRILLA BOB THD v1.0 : 1hr of continuous playing, OK.
2b) VIDEO RECORDING (internal memory; temasek135's stock camcorder): ok
2c) VIDEO PLAYING
MXplayer + "codec armv7" (optimized for tegra2) : seems ok
3) UI/SYSTEM APPS
Volume keys to wake phone : faulty
4) BATTERY
phone had battery problems:
-reduced cpu mhz range to 216-500 : didn't help
-lowered display light, didn't help
- locked to 2G, helped a bit
- stopped localization : (close GPS AND wifi localization) : PROBLEM SOLVED
so, it seems that google maps 6.11.1 + gps AND/OR WIFI location is a problem.

Eagles blood ics build 4 seems to be great working camera video and pretty much everything else.

New Sheriff in town?

with NOVAHD i had a strange bug... i kept loosing the networkkk over and over...
paranoid android is the best ICS rom so far! with only cm9 native bugs cause of drivers and etcetera.... =)

Hi guys, I've tried some roms and here are my experiences:
Gueste2X v3.6 Hybrid Revolution: Really smooth rom, had to remove the battery when I charged at nights and when the phone wake up the airplane mode was on
ParanoidAndroid [Build 10]: Smoothest ICS rom I've tried, had problem losing the network, only a reinstalling I could fixed the issue and stability issues.
DjangoManouche 1.5 RCQ 4 SpicaKernel : Stable rom, it's not the smoothest but does the job, no random FC or bsod issues. It's the rom I've always returned.
MIUI v2.3.7f: Had some issues with it, performace related and some bsod when charged at nights.
WIUI 2.5.25: Nice rom but for me Django's performace was better.
Nova HD Rebuild v1.1.0: Good at the first days but then went all laggy and lot's of FC.
Eagles Blood: good rom but had a problem where my battery stats disappeared and the only way to fix it was reinstalling.
Hope it helps. Sorry for my bad english.

Are you sure? Because the usually, the CM9 roms have working camera app, when you switch to video you still have running picture, but then you hit the button to record, the app goes FC.

Ola amigos !!!
Its nice to have everyones opinions ! Pritty easy to find out whats the best rom currently out!
So here is my short report!
ROM - MokeeOS -v1.10.436-V2 for O2X
Im using this rom for about 7 days (1week) and the complete rom is perfect. The 1 and only reason Im hitting an other one is becouse Mokees port is getting every single night a BSOD! Oh, Im sorry, and when you make a longer call, about 10 mins or more, It just freezes. Wont let you back into it. Just black screen and you can talk onwards.
Pritty sad about that point but what can we do hopefully the devs are gonna fix it !

I tested Nova HD Rebuild v.1.1.0: At first it got my approval. But after a while it got laggy. So I share your experience.
After that ParanoidAndroid now on build 11: Great rom. I had no problems losing network. Even battery life ist good. I got stuck on it so I can recommend it.

[Q] Most stable, bug free 4.2.2 rom?

As of right now there are many roms being worked on. I'm currently running AOSPizza which is fast and stable.
My question is, what 4.2.2. rom seems the to the most stable and bug free? (Working data, camera+camcorder, GPS, etc.)
It is very hard to keep track when the roms are constantly being updated.
Thanks in advance!

They all run differently for different people. Not sure why. Might be Gapps, previous fastbooted stock rom, or *insert reason here*. You just have to try them all and see what you like. PAC, Carbon, and CM10.1 are updated daily, so they can differ from one release to the next....so my best advice is to pick one you like the features of and stay with it, find a stable-for-you version, and try the nightlies with a nandroid on hand if you need it.

I've tried a few, and I am back on stock now. All of the 4.2.2 roms have bugs that I can't live with (battery and bluetooth.)
I have heard there are some worth keeping, but for me it is too much work to keep flashing roms all the time.

Is there any reason besides bluetooth audio that you choose stock over one of the 4.1 roms?

4.2.2 battery life can be bad. I'm down to 79% with minimal use (checked 3 emails) flashed a rom, been off charger for 9 hours now. One of the biggest battery leeches is Maps -- Yesterday it had 779 wakelock interrupts in a 6 hour period -- means it took my phone out of deep sleep for a second over 100 times every hour. Greenify seems to be helping but I need to do more testing with it. Oh, and disabled Greenify for Maps and had 37 wakelock interrupts in 14 minutes....Sometimes I wonder if its not Maps but the Google Now weather panel making Maps do GPS calls for updated location info for weather. My battery wasn't near as bad till I started using the Now widget over cLock weather panel.

The pizza rom was great, but didn't allow me to use Google Voice as my voicemail.
The Mexico rom was okay, but it was missing something that i needed.
I quit flashing, it is too much hassle to set up everything.

problems with latest Mackay ROMs

Hallo,
I am sorry, to post it here, but I cannot post in the related forums below 10 posts.
So I had 4.1.5 and it was great. I flashed 4.2.3 now and it was great until after pretty much one day, when it becomes slow, had the same issues with 4.2.2 (becomes slow after a day until reboot or downgrade to 4.1.5) where I downgraded again, but it is not possible anymore without resetting the launcher3 due to some changes.
It will crash repeatedly.
Any help?
Kind regards
neox

I've been using CM based Mackay ROM for a long time now, updating to every new version as they have been released, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing.
Also, you should have really posted in the Mackay ROM thread...

@neox456! I am not sure I understand your problem fully. I have been using the same ROM since it came out for Kit Kat but never had a problem such as yours.
Could it be the no. of apps you have in your phone ? Or maybe because you aren't using low mem option (which was a feature of Kit Kat)?
It'd be good if you could explain your issues a bit briefly.

Did you install CM10.2 (stable) or CM11 before Mackay 4.2.3? This increases your partition giving you better performance and is recommended for KK roms. Try again with 3 wipes plus Format System first, then the CM11, 3 wipes and format again then the Mackay Rom. If you get into trouble, go back to GB 2.3.6 with ODIN like you did when you first rooted your phone and back up from there. Hope it works for you.

The difference was between 4.1.5 and 4.2.2/3. But I played around a little and the main difference was, that KSM was on with the later ones and not with 4.1.5 so I am pretty sure that slowed my device down after a while.
I'll try 4.2.3 without KSM now and see if it won't slow down.
I cannot answer on the official Mackay-Thread until I reached 10 posts!

neither can I yet...

Naaah, it did not really help...
But I guess it is the KitKat slow downs... it is not as horrible as 4.3, but still far from well usable.

Very strange.. I went all the way back to GB 2.3.6 then CM 10.2 (or 11) then SlimKat and it works really well with no FC or lags. (well maybe say max 2 second delay opening Whatsapp but I can live with that. Plus they all seem to have a 1 or 2 second delay when a call comes in for the screen to register.

Well... I am not sure... Maybe it is too many apps. At least they are not constanlty crashing like in JB4.3.
What about waking up the phone for you? Do you have a 2 seconds delay there, too? Well I sometimes have a more like 10-15 seconds delay. I press the power button and nothing happens and after a while you notice the phone is ready, because the LEDs are glowing and funnily you can already unlock it, although the screen does not show anything yet...
Well and sometimes it is only a few seconds...
I have always used CM or Mackay-CM... not sure, whether the other ROM will make such a big difference...

I had lags with CM in ICS so I went to Liquid smooth by aways .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223729
I like that one, no problems opening apps or answering phone call. Pkus he uses semaphore and the Nova Launcher which has a nice look and feel. Pluis customisable.
Then after to SlimKat, (after increasing partition using the CM11) which works pretty good. I will flash the mackay rom or the omni this weekend to see how it behaves in comparison.

I am down to CM9 (still Mackay) now and happy with it. :angel:
Some features got lost, but I am happy, because in general it is way more useable.

KitKat Quick Glance

As we all note kitkat has been out for 2 days
My quick impression is that it isn't good
LAAAAAG in launcher (Not Lockscreen nor apps) (GPU Rendering isn'T very effective)
Battery is being killed
Camera seems to worse in low light condition (Will post an comparason later) and slower
No update for the stock apps (Xperia blog has those)
Post your Impressions below How do you feel
Update:In NUT's recovery don't enter TeamWinRecovery for me it caused an refuse boot
had to connect in download mode (Without flashing anything)
Opening PhilzTouch recovery and booted from there to system

I find it quite responsive after the initial lag in the settings menu and bad battery life.
What's really annoying me though is that I can't find a tweak which enables expanded desktop properly. Despite KitKat apparently natively supporting expanded desktop mode, Gravity Box for some reason doesn't want to work properly. It worked perfectly in 4.2.2. So I'm hoping someone can make a working version.

Another test
if you use the voice message of FB Messenger your mic gets locked
and you will have to restart your Phone to make it work

i've had kit kat for two days now on my xperia zr no root, locked bootloader. I have no lags, everything works quick just like 4,3. The only issue is that google play services drains battery like crazy (at this very moment is on 87% on battery use ) :/

There is an xposed mod
Called Force imersive mode try it

What Rom? I am thinking of switching ?
Carbon or BeanStack ?

kitkat
I don't see/feel any problems on my C5503
running smooth

Any Major difference in terms of functionality between 4.4 and 4.3 except the Theme Color? If not I'll stick with 4.3 itself:victory:.
Also Please provide the Walkman, Gallery and Movies APP Version in 4.4

I'm kinda surprised with all ur reviews here coz I don't have any lag issues whatsoever.
I'm using a prerooted version of .230 on my C5502.
The phone is responsive, I got a decent antutu score of around 21225 and the battery barely drains.. I had a perfectly flat battery graph for abt 4 n a half hours (of course I wasn't using the phone but that also means it's going into the appropriate power mode effectively). And even when I was using it, I got a decent full day of use out of it.

Carbon is good but Mokee is officially supported and offers much better functions IMO eg. split screen screen recording and awesome handy shortcuts from the recents menu... i am using stock 4.4.2 sony for now but i am already missing Mokee..
in any case if you want to move back to cm/asop/akop i would recommend Mokee but don't get me wrong i still love Carbon Rom.
I think i'm getting 20% less battery time on sony kk

I noticed lag and heating issues at first install but if you leave it for a while it seems like it fixes itself.. I would say it uses about 20% more battery than maybe a cm rom..

At first I thought that being with my own home made rooted version was the cause of the lag. In the z forum I read about wiping data and factory reset and also reboot a couple of times. I have to say that the lag is gone. I like the Kitkat version so far. I even made it deodexed and put z2 app in the app folder even that works. So if you can find the new updated apps it is possible to get them working.

I Reflashed with Flashtool With Wipe Data
and then a system restore Everything is fine now (Even without touching GPU rendering)

early morning rant
How do I feel?
Honestly, as free beta tester for Google that's how.
I'm not even considering updating to stock KK, yet. Would rather move to some fine working custom ROM like Carbon (need to check first if VPN is working) or CM.
- It used to be, flash stock, one-touch root and voila.
- Now, it's TA backup, BL unlock/relock, flash, recovery, flash, flash, tweak this, mod that, xposed, gpu render, battery drain, oh lag, oh camera is slower, oh more emoticons, OH COME ON!!
I know it's not Sony fault but those hipsters from Google.
With killing external SD support, at the end and in the future, it smells that stock Android will work flawlessly ONLY on Google hardware. That's a pure BS.

You mean Mobiles with no SD card*

Yeah, basically all Nexuses, mob/tab. Good read here
I think it helps to keep product life cycle short. The Apple philosophy.

Okay, after a few days use I'm getting major lag when unlocking the phone. When I input my pattern, the phone responds with the vibrations like 3 seconds later, and THEN it unlocks. After that it's completely fine, and feels a lot snappier than 4.2.2. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Mine is great here
I have pattern and unlock it is very fast. no lag at all.

My phone 5502 is working flawlessly. No lag and no battery drain. didn't want to root so i don't risk loosing my apps and data. i upgrade directly by flashing an ftf file over 4.3 with flashtool and no wipe.

Hi,
I am currently on the Liquid Smooth 20.10. go, but I am surprised that no new versions are on the go. Is it so that only a new Nightly appears if there are changes?

Remove battery for restart.
Hello,
When i charging my battery power off, i can't restart with the power button.
I must remove my battery for restart.
Somebody have this same problem ?
Thx

cannot install liquidsmooth rom
i'm still new in installing roms. i was able to install rxtreme rom, i would like to try the LS rom. i downloaded the latest nightly rom, and it prompted installation aborted.
i compared the rxtreme rom that i downloaded, it was 1.2gb. but for the LS, it was just over 200mb. i hope someone here can provide me detailed instructions on how to install Liquidsmooth rom on my s3 i9305.

systemui crashes
Hi guys,i just installed the rom and after the reboot i enter the pin code and that message about systemui pops up every 3 seconds.
EDIT:SO i installed the previus version and everything seems fine exept some random camera issues and the notifications
swipe to left functions most of the times doesnt work or maybe it has to do with spesific apps.Can i upgrade to the latest nightly version without doing a hard reset?

Read the instructions at the beginning of this thread. It's all there.
It is a little different to rxtreme.
You will need to download the ROM and GApps. I'd download Milestone version - read earlier posts for location.
Go to recovery, flash the ROM then GApps.
Hope all goes well.

LliquidSmooth Cameria Issued
I want to thank you for this great Rom, and after many many thank you thoughts i want to ask you if there is something i can do about the camera. After taking 4 pictures camera freezes and can't connect anymore. Thanks again!

Review of the liquid smooth i9305 ROM 4.4.4
I've been using this ROM for the last four months and my verdict is...
...it's ****. S. H. I. T.
So bad that I've gone back to the stock ROM. Maybe it's because the i9305 is a relatively unknown phone (compared to the i9300). Nevertheless it's evident here that little effort has gone into research and testing of this ROM. Here are all the issues I came across during my usage of what is the most terrible android experience I've had.
Battery life: This ROM basically chews up the battery faster than a fat kid in a candy store. Seriously sit back and watch, throughout the day, as battery percentage slips lower and lower until it knocks itself out. And then that brings me to the next problem,
The phone will not charge when the battery is completely dead (phone off): That's right the phone has to be on, before this ROM realises that it should be charging the phone.
Camera: The camera will take about 4 shots, sometimes 10, if you're lucky before it completely fails. The only way around this is by performing a soft or hard reboot. Super fun when you're at a party and when taking a group image, the camera ****s itself. Even with third party camera apps the problem persists.
Microphone: I don't know how a ROM could possibly **** up the microphone, but this ROM succeeds in doing just that. Any recording performed sounds like a 1950s CB radio. This is an experience that you force on everyone you call by having the audacity to use this ****ty ROM.
Multiple Application Incompatibilities: Several big ticket applications fail to run with LiquidCrap. For example Skype refuses to initiate and Viber will not make video calls. That leaves Google Hangouts which for some reason decides to induce a 4 second lag in every word in your conversation.
Video playblack: Wow a custom ROM that refuses to easily work with flash video. The developers solution here is to force you to use dolphin viewer to browse and run some flash mods to work. Unfortunately none of that works. And it's not just flash that refuses to run. Any HTML5 gif or video will not play. Then there are some videos where only the sound will play but nothing else. Good luck watching anything on youtube which is not accessible by the youtube app. Which surprisingly works well.
Random restarts: Oh were you typing in something important? Would be a shame if I just...restarted right now.
Screen Rotation: Lags.
So if you're 13 years old and get a kick out of changing colors in status bars; by all means get this ROM. If you actually have responsibilities and need your phone....to work. Then avoid this ROM at all costs. Hell, avoid every custom ROM for the i9305. Unless it's a slightly modified stock Samsung. This as this there's less chance that something is royally ****ed as in the case here.

I've been using this ROM for the last four months and my verdict is...
...it's ****. S. H. I. T.
So bad that I've gone back to the stock ROM. Maybe it's because the i9305 is a relatively unknown phone (compared to the i9300). Nevertheless it's evident here that little effort has gone into research and testing of this ROM. Here are all the issues I came across during my usage of what is the most terrible android experience I've had.

Hi Guys! Im fairly new, I only flashed about 10 roms. Using this rom for 5 days now, I have a lot of problems, bugs. But I want to give it another try, because I heard very good things about this rom. so...
garbled "mosaic like" graphics on locksreens notifications only when Im moving them with my fingers
garbled notification bar icons when running tinder
strange scrolling in play/own apps during app updating - app rectangles in the listing seems to detach from the scrolling background, moving slower/faster.
various gfx glitches too fast or short to recall
camera is unusable, ugly FCs, "cant connect"s, even reboots, or phone freezed up for several seconds. using power button release seems to make it worse.
it was clean install, full wipe (FR), + cache before and after flashing. (Philz Touch)
installed:
LS-KK-MileStone-3.2-i9305.zip
Liquid_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.1.zip
I came from stock KK, it was the NEE version (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305NEEFOA1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME). and some others before that.
Can I make an "even cleaner" install...? Can it be some things left from other roms causing these problems?
Or any advice, so it would work like on your devices?
thx in advance
ps: sorry for the previous post

Hi guys, I have been gone through previous thread but still can't find a proper way to fix the charging animation problem. When turn off my phone and charge it I can't the animation....Do I need to try other Roms?

Have you had any luck on sorting your problems out? I've found this ROM to be amazing.
It's fast, smooth and everything works well.
I've played with lollipop ROMs but they have issues so keep coming back. Though when aicp 5.1 is sorted, it is a decent option; very fast and smooth.
Anyway I am using TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery and stock kernel that came with the ROM. I do a full advanced wipe them factory wipe. I also use SuperSU.
If you're still having issues you could store your files in an external SD card, totally format your internal storage and start again from scratch.
Hope that helps.

Hi! thx for the answer, but I did everything, apart from I left below. What do you mean by total format? How its done, with what app, and how the carrier/region etc related content is put back after that? I have latest philz touch, and I do dalvik+cache+full wipe before AND after each flash. Im not concerned about my files, everything is on ExtSD and cloud.
Yes the rom is much cooler than CM for the first look, but after 5 days heavy use I got serious problems just like the angry guy mentioned a few post above. after I moved in all my apps and stuff, it lost its smoothness, FCs, and hard battery drain with hot phone.
But the main thing was after I wrote my post, I realized that this rom is not maintained anymore, which is a problem for the 9305. U gotta use what is maintained, so the last day was so bad with this rom, I went back to CM immediately! Which is a dream in simplicity, speed, and battery life, and the latest only few days old!
of course Im still interested in the total format you mentioned, and in this rom, if it gets sorted out...

There are different ways to fully format your internal drive but you will need to backup any important data files to your SD card first. A full format will wipe it clean. I don't use philz these days but from memory you mount system, data etc and format them. Other options are files like those provided by Agni developer for F2FS will wipe it clean as well. As I use twrp it is different again.
I've been on this ROM for months now. It's fast, smooth, no FCs, and with decent use through the day I get 2 full days out of the battery before a recharge.
I use Greenify app, turn off fast dormancy and if there are drainage issues it's generally about finding the rogue app. Titanium backup is another must have app to backup and restore apps. It makes things so easy.
It's not maintained as you say but I don't see that being relevant; it's a well cooked 4.4.4 ROM! You can use other options such as F2FS +/- ART to tweak performance.
The only ROM I'm playing with at present is the 5.1 aicp which is super fast. Only had bug with Apex launcher my launcher of choice.
Have fun! Cheers
