I cant run Gingerbread (GB) because many apps I use do not support such an old Android version.
So it must be between Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), Jellybean (JB), and Kitkat (KK).
I've tried a few roms and cannot find the buglessness I seek:
[ROM] [4.1.2] [Mar 18 2013] Slim VJ Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v1.0 for N1
VJ's previous non-slim JB rom
Evervolv's Kitkat
j00m's Kitkat
MIUI.us's unofficial JB port v2.12.28 (considerably worse than the official GB MIUI rom)
reider123's CM10 rom
tommypacker's pixeldroid AOKP kitkat
tommypacker's CM10.1.3 Android 4.2.2 v2.7
parkedraccoon's CM11
Evervolv ICS
All of them contain frustrating bugs. So the search continues to find the most workingest post-gingerbread rom.
Together, I'm sure we can find it! Who's got a lead?
And the winner is...
j00m's kitkat!
I'm using it on a 198/3/235 hboot (system is only 191mb)
one of the only roms besides official Evervolv that has trackball wake toggle (no more pocket wake-ups!)
on my recommendation, j00m replaced the /system/app/Torch.apk with one that stays on after screen turns off.
Tip: enable lock screen widgets in Security settings, and put the torch widget on the lock screen for quick access.
j00m fixed WiFi tethering (w/security set to None only)
i replaced the slow buggy stock kitkat browser with UCbrowser (it's even faster than dolphin)
i turned off the clunky window animations in Developer Options for a snappier experience
i installed the app Videocam Illusion to enable video recording
this is as bug free as it gets. Daily driver ready.
CM-11?

Hmm, the only decent post-gingerbread ROM I found was Evervolv/J00m's KitKat. It works fine for me, but others haven't had such luck...Evervolv JellyBean (3.2.0 I believe?) was the best alternative, I can't remember what problem caused me to switch back to CM7. I think (if my memory serves me correctly) that one time it was the home button that wouldn't work, but the second time around it worked, I think it had something to do with running out of space, perhaps due to the GAPPS? Anyhow, you might give it a try and see if it works for you. Maybe try to flash the core GAPPS and get the play store to install your stuff instead of the full GAPPS which is way bigger.
I have the same problem with a 4.4 evevolv, the phone restarts constantly and gives me process.media was interrupted.

Maybe I should give Kitkat another try... I remember having a delay to answer the phone on Kitkat... one time I kept waiting for the screen to turn on while it was ringing and ringing, and eventually i missed the call cuz there was no way to answer it.

Actually, the solution isn't as easy to find as I remember. What worked for me was to clear data of media storage: Settings > Apps > All > Media Storage. Others have reported that they had to clear data of Contacts and Contacts Storage located in the same place.

I can not even get there, and it freezes before it restarts.
That recovery is to be used with black roses to install the 4.4?
Because the CM11 at the time of the flash failed?

But you can reboot?
Are you on 4EXT recovery? Have you tried Evervolv KitKat 4.4.2?

You've tried the Evolv 4.4 kitkat, continually reboots and tells me that android.process.media was interrupted.
Now I installed the 11 cm, everything ok, except that the gapps did not install, and when I open mount2sd asks me to install a script, do the procedure but do not install and I get this error: Failed to reboot the device into recovery because the limitation of the rail toolbox
The 31-12-13 built is not useful at all. Its the worst. Try CM 11 an wait a few days for a update.

so the problem is the rom, gapps or are incompatible? if I wanted to put the Evolv, I have to change the hboot with blackrose? how do you?
Try evervolv ics rom. It is the least buggy and fastest rom there

There is no way to solve for the gapps?

I'll give it a try.
@PhilipTD, yep, I think that's the one: [ROM] [DEV] [ICS 4.0.4] *7/1* Evervolv's Aosp TexasIce Cream Sandwich
hboot 220/10/206
I found a working download link to the final version of Evervolv's ICS rom (Evervolv-Perdo-2.2.0-Final-passion.zip): http://evervolv.codefi.re/builds/release/Perdo/
And its corresponding gapps: http://d-h.st/AxV
I tested Evervolv's ICS and immediately found 2 bugs that have been haunting me:
Cant play videos embedded in webpages.
Pressing the trackball to take a photo always requires 2 presses for the first photo.
So I gave the latest j00m's Kitkat another try, and while it's not bugless...
it seems to be the ONLY post-gingerbread rom that can play videos embedded in webpages.
Still has the camera-trackball bug. (is this bug present only in evervolv-based roms?)
Videocam illusion app works on EVERY rom for video recording.
Kitkat at least has the potential of fixing bugs as it is currently receiving very frequent updates.
So I think j00m's Kitkat is the way to go.

j00m's KitKat is really good. The only reason I switched to Evervolv's was because I wanted to try out ART on my device and that setting had been removed from the j00m's nightly...but ART doesn't work on my phone so they're both good for me. I might go back to j00m at some point since it is simpler to flash (don't need to flash GAPPS on top!) - plus it has a boot animation that has a clear start so I know whether my phone is in a bootloop or simply taking forever to load.

Additionally, j00m's rom is slimmed down to only 211MB system which means it should work perfectly on the ICS hboot - 220/10/206 saving lots of space!
The stock kitkat web browser is barely usable. Chrome browser is even worse. Thankfully, the Dolphin Browser works really well!

I've generally felt VJ's v6.0 4.2.2 was the slickest version of JB that I've used till date on my N1.
I've used PixelDroid, Carbon, PACMan, ParanoidAndoid and Evervolv. But while these ROMs are customizable and have different features, VJ's ROM had the perfect (imho) blend of CM and Vanilla Android which was right for me.
Video recording and Tethering won't work but the rest of the features are pretty cool. As far as KK ROMs are concerned, they are still not as smooth nor as stable as the JBs yet. I've only started playing around with @parkedraccoon's CM 11 and @texasice's 4.4. I expect better updates to follow.
Hey xda fellas, I'm having Samsung galaxy S I9000 and i got camera problem - "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped" (when i try to use it).
I cleared cache didn't work, I am running CM11 4.4.2 (nightly version), I also updated kernel using this instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580112).
Nighty version of rom that i use is "cm-11-20140416-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip".
I don't know if i have technical problems with my camera or i messed up something wrong with rom and kernel. Pls help me to make it work again .

Most probably a Hardware issue. Best solution, Flash Stock and take it to the nearest Samsung Service Center.
Q&A for [ROM][4.4][NIGHTLY] OmniROM 4.4 for GT-N7000
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Newbie needs help
Hi,
My GTn7000 is unrooted with original Samsung ROM. My phone has become so old that, the USB port is not working. This is the first time am trying to put a different ROM in this phone. Since my USB is out, i can only rely on SD card. Is it possible to accomplish new Kernal installation and New mod installation, all with just SD card support? I want to go for OMNI rom for sure, since it appears to be the best stable rom.
If the answer is yes, i will start taking back up and stuff. Please help me do this. Phone is extremely slow and lots of unnecessary apps to get rid off.
Thanks
Dewan
Yes it is possible using ext SD. Read Philz kernel. Then go for raw kernel. Then you are ready for Omni & Gapps. There is a small risk though. If the installation fails or something goes wrong somewhere and you wont have access to recovery then pretty much screwed. So keep that in mind.

You must really be careful - no USB means no ODIN to flash you out of softbricks.
Install [2014.05.01][ROOT] Mobile ODIN v4.20. It may help to get you out of trouble.
I do use Omni on my N7000 supported device, It is great.
To make it easier to transfer files to your phone use [APP] Samba Server for Android. It will allow to map your phone as a network drive under Windows and use wifi for transfers.
And yes, start by flasing raw kernel. It will give you TWRP to flash Omni.
Screen does not go to sleep
ok my issue was solved i think just by flashing a new gapp.

Hello to everyone,
I want to update to Omni from CM10.1.3,
please, help me with few issues.
Should I use Gapps exactly for N7000 (the link doesn't work) or I can use official for all roms?
Is it stable enough for daily use or should I find more stable rom yet?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

i am using the micro modular package of gapps here.

Hi,late comer here.
Can i install this rom using this latest kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191&page=405
And another thing - what is raw kernel?
TIA
No you can't. Philz is for stock (touchwiz based) roms. You need RAW kernel for this OmniRom.
Hi,
I have a problem with the nightly. Everything worked perfectly but then my power button stopped working. This is not a hardware problem because I can start the phone with the power button when its off. The problem occurs only with booted omnirom.
Can you help me? I tried several restarts and an update to the newest nightly.
Thanks in advance.

This Rom is better than SlimSaber?
Has the Video Playback issue been fixed?
Hello XDA, I'm new here, so sorry if anything is inaccurate.
I was just wondering whether the Video Playback Issue has been fixed.
I was recommended to move to OmniRom after frequent crashes with CM (my phone couldn't last 20 hours without crashing or requiring a reboot.)
Thank you in advance.
question
Since a fiew days it is not possible to download the new versions of omni without errors?
Is there someone who can fix this?
edit: the problem was fixed sice today! thanks god!:good:

Hi! Thanks ! I cant download the gapps -signed.zip, occured some error on mediafire link.
Empty Omnirom nighly folder
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8013 and have been using the Omnirom 4.4.4 nightlies for a while now. For the last few weeks the Omnirom nightly folder is empty. Is it just me, or did things move? Is this how we're told a version is done and it's time to move on? I see there is a maintainer build for Omni 5.1.x and I'm getting the hint it's time for me to move on to it I'm guessing but I don't know.
Hi everyone,
i have some problem with my Xperia T. When i started installing custom roms on my phone i noticed some bug. On any system that wasn't based on ICE 4.3 there were problem with laudspeaker. When i launch it there is a characteristic feedback noise.
Some info:
1. No problem on stock or 4.3 based roms.
2. Person that i was was trying to speak with wasn't in the same room or nearby.
3. Phone is not demaged and never had contact with water.
4. Currently I'm using 12-20150201-NEO-mint 5.0.2 Android.
Do you have and ideas or solutions for that problem ?

Yes, it's a problem with custom ROMs; use the search function.
Using my ROM, you can try FauxSound to adjust the microphone volume and get rid of this speakerphone whistle. :good:
FauxSound
Hi,
after installing FauxSound app i got message - This Kernel is NOT SUPPORTED.
Edit: I will install yr lastest rom.
I've tried 3 different ROMs in my new X526.
Lineage 15.1, Pixel ROM and now I'm running Arrow ROM.
The error shows up some seconds after running google photos which is trying to synchronise my collection
"Unfortunately Camera Has Stopped Working".
Is there a workaround in order to fix it?
I'm a little bit frustrated.
Thanks in advance.
Camera is an issue with new ROMs since the kernel sources are of marshmallow, but you can look around the particular section to minimize this issue

I am not really a huge fan of getting the bleeding edge ROM for my device.
I just want to work everything as it should be without annoying problems.
Maybe I should go back to an older android build.
Suggestions? Maybe Havoc?
Miui 10 and lineage nougat are pretty much okay for daily use. You could go for RR too
