Hey people !
After spending a whole afternoon looking for a stable and battery friendly CUSTOM Rom for my SG3 LTE version I got confused with all those options.
Could any of you suggest one Rom that could offer me good battery, performance and with every function working properly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I'm prettty much in favor of non-stock ROMs, so my reply may be a bit biased
Depending on what you mean by "latest" I would recommend Sentinel ROM, which I have been running for months on my S3LTE without any issues - just works, is very stable and excellent battery life !
As it has been a bit quiet around this ROM for some time now and I wanted to look into what has changed in 6 months I now tested a few ROMs and ended up with Ressurection Remix for the time being, looks fine so far.
HTH, best regards,

hands down the most stable ROM for the 9305, probably because its made by those who actually use and own a 9305. It's not some fork or spin-off from a 9300 tree.
Running on TGP for a year now, with a functional 4G link.
Thank you guys !
Dont froget amcha rom.. one of the beat
Currently archidroid is the best kitkat ROM. No forced close ,good battery. Fast.

1lshara, What rom did you go with and what do you think of it. Did you have any issues at all?
for simplicity stock look but great battery life and stable i suggest you try rXTREME.JB.4.3-V4.1.
for customization and ofcourse good battery and stable i suggest AllianceROM V3.
if your not onto stock based then i cannot suggest :victory:

Thanks for this suggestion, I once installed ROMs for my GF but she isn't tech savvy and his been a nightmare. All she wants is something with good battery life and camera that works. I am going to give this a go on her phone this weekend and see how it goes.
I think Alliance ROM is excellent except it isn't the latest. Unless it changed recently it is Jelly bean based not kit kat. I used it for months and my only issue was battery life.
I then went through a number of ROMs (I'm totally new to this BTW) and found they all have faults of some kind. Mostly, there's nothing out there so far as I've found that can come close to the Samsung camera app.
I had omni for a while but started having a few problems such as lock up reboot when streaming from media browser.
Currently I'm on liquid smooth which doubled my battery life (well nearly double). However, like all the kit Kat based ROMs I tried, the camera is a bit naff and ecoffeecard had a corrupt camera view rendering it useless. Last week I started getting systemui faults and force closes so updated to the nightly. But still have the systemui crash today. So I'm really thinking of reverting to alliance at this b point. I'm thinking it was the Samsung stuff that hurt the battery so maybe that can be removed (except the awesome camera app).
Hope that helps.

Thanks - got a feeling I looked at that but can't remember the details (I seemed to be flashing a new ROM every hour or so there for a while) - I'll give it another whirl
Use 2.4.5 , don't use the1.x version. 2.4.5 is kitkat. So far i think this is far more battery friendly than the official omni nighties.

You cant place words "stable" and "latest" together!!
Stable means that its working without problems for a long time, so it cant be latest.
Very stable means almost ideal, so it dont exist, everyone has their own experience, so each will give you different advice and you will end up with nothing more than crap
I was trying couple of roms and my theory is that custom roms are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get (sentence form Forest Gump). For me and my actual phone least unpleasant surprises gave stock 4.1.2 with added JKAY mod and removed apps by me.
But for security gap in browser I changed to stock 4.3 with 4.1.2 bootloader and some xposed modules. This is not a good setup, cause from time to time battery is eated very fast, even battery stats does not show anything specific.
As someone has already said, stable and latest can't always go together. Stock based ROMs will generally be more stable. However, Cm-based ROMS, for instance, are currently the only way to get the latest android version, coupled with nice extra features. If you really value being able to use every phone function without any weird bugs, stick with a stock based ROM. For the i9300, I'd recommend SmartDroid (dunno if it's available for the LTE version).

I remember this one now - don't like the aroma installer; it only occupies half the screen yet takes touch for the whole screen. which means a lot of guessing where to tap to trigger the button.
It's installed now so will see how it goes today.
FWIW - the base Google camera hides too many feature down on a second layer of menu options so it's impossible to get to the quickly. the 'colour' one in play store doesn't even have half the features as far as I can find, and the controls keep disappearing off screen. Samsungs app lets you keep custom shortcuts on screen and also lets you take photos during a video shoot.

I agree that Samsung camera is user friendly. For the aroma installer problem,i think if you are coming from not 4.4.2, you should format system before flashing, the aroma installer then will become full screen.

I'm using CM11 on my 9305, and power consumption is terrible.
The stock ROM was also not good.
Which ROM should I use? I prefer stable and battery life.

When you say format - I did a factory reset within TWRP which wipes Data, Cache and Dalvik. is that what you mean or should I be doing an 'advanced wipe' ?
After Archi was installed, I found I was missing my contacts - possibly because I unticked the 'backup to google' option in the beginning as I didn't want it downloading all the apps. my Rerware MyBackup Pro restored the apps ok, but couldn't restore contacts etc - it just froze. I reverted to my TWRP backup of liquid and found a similar issue - I had blocked (or at least not unblocked) the ability of MyBackup pro to access contacts and the like so assume at the moment the backup was bad and hence why the app froze. Regardless, I'm surprised the contacts didn't come from Google cos I've never had to restore them in the passed.
I'll give it another go but it would be nice to fix the aroma issue first, so please advise. btw liquid smooth is kit kat based 4.4.2

What are the benefits of installing JB on an i9000?
I'm aware the FM radio on JB doesn't work and some other function too....then, it seems that all the sleek design of the new ROM will slow CPU speed - surely, is it worth bothering to install the latest ROMs on near outdated smartphones like the i9000?
I've stumbled on the JW4 stock and represent a worthy alternative to Gingerbread 2.3 - then for the sleek look I'm considering some themes....
Have I missed some relevant facts about the JB 4.2 on the i9000? Right now, I wouldn't bother.

For as far as I know, Cyanogenmod never really got Project Butter off the ground on Samsung devices running Exynos processors, like the i9000. I'm running 4.1 Cyanogenmod as well, and it does seem a tad more smooth, but I've no idea if that's because of Project Butter, or just the fact that it's a very nice android version.
I've just tested JB 4.2....nice and sleek look but not Swipe and what happened to my external SD? no "My File" is found so I can't search...no wonder when I check Storage on Settings gives me an error. The Camera also seems very limited (have I missed something?).
Exactly as I initially thought....
All this hype to get the latest ROMs are mostly superficial fads with no substance - good only for greedy developers and bored teenagers in search of new trills to impress their mates - nah, I like using Swipe and FM radio (and searching my files) - back to JW4.

Yeah. They came up with a neat intuitive interface with 4.2 but stripped out so many features. Honestly who in the right mind thought it was a great idea to get rid of the timer option. I used the 4.2 camera for about a day before I just rolled back to the 4.1 camera
You're comparing a ROM that's barely even alpha. Try CM10 4.1.2 stable. That will give you a better idea of what cyanogenmod is capable of. And you can still install Swype. I'm using it right now.
And don't be a troll, it's not very nice
CM10 powered by Mackay kernel

So what's the intention of this thread then?
Try Mackay ROM or CM10. Both are stable and fluid and you will be happy with them. But if you don't even know how to install Swype you should probably stick to stock.

Android jelly bean is fantastic because it is faster and smoother. To solve the problem of radio you should download spirit fm radio light that is NOT a streaming app, but uses the FM radio receiver installed by Samsung on Galaxy.

in fact I've bothered to install swype by myself - never had to do before the "upgrade"?
An upgrade should include all the best functions - swype represents in my opinion the best way to input text - go figure why the developers forgot about it.

ok, if the FM radio isn't lost then this might save the bacon...the future is radio via data or podcasting but when traveling abroad it might be useful to use FM radio to save data roaming (and power too).
I've tested 4 new ROMs (in 2 days): aosp, aokp, xbean, cm10 - the camera has lost many functions - still, the Galaxy doesn't even offer a flash - so, no big deal there.
The JW4 I'm using right now seems faster than any of the JB tested, but I agree about the new ROMs being smoother and more stylish.
The DSP on offer might be worth upgrading...
There are too many new functions which are a bit too geeky and many customizations are a bit OTT (reminds me of some linux distros)...so, I might be tempted to opt for Slim Bean (jelly bean without the fat)....still, I'll wait a few months
no videocall facility
I belive the custom Roms not support videocall fascilty, (correct me,If I am wrong). But rest everything is OK in JB Roms.
I have tried more than 4 ROMs including latest 4.2, None of othem having videocall button not integrated with .
But there are improvements in audio & video perfomance compare to Stock GB ROM.

Can JB camera save to external SD? Try saving HD video on limited 8 GB internal storage
U should try "c-rom Mix v8" or "mckay rom build158 or 161,in my opinion its the two best roms available in JB,in McKay's build there is a small difference in smoothness between the two builds..
C-rom v8 is my favorite,its d... good
Just Because...
Because we can. You, good sir, are asking the wrong question..LOL Why wouldn't you want the latest version of android on existing hardware? It is like having the best of both worlds. New Software, same phone.
Imagine putting windows 8 on a 486, and having it run smoothly. That will never happen.... with android on the other hand... okay, perhaps a little exaggeration there, but you get the idea. (Unless you are to young to remember a 486,)
For me personally, it negates the need to buy a $500 - $600 phone, just to have the latest version of software.
I do however, understand your point of view. I hope that I have answered your question thoroughly.
My swype on 4.2.1 works fine. I do have an sdcard 0/1 bug. I consider that perfectly acceptable, in this scenario.
Panorama camera feature is neat. Although it is not something that I can see myself using a whole lot.
Jeremy
I think the choice belongs to everyone to flash JB...or not.
I tried but i'am back on GB with the sauRom V2. The BEST rom ever flashed on my phone ! ! !
I have tried Miui, Cyanogen, Ics, JB...... None of those roms compares to SauRom in my opinion.
Really worth a try ! Smooth, fast, stable, Very good battery life ! !
Since i'am using it, no need to flash anymore !

JB drains battery so fast!
My experience, the battery drains so so fast. I tried some ROMS with JB and I went back to ICS.
There have now been severel JellyBean ROMS released for the HTC Incredible S.
I was hoping that I could get some opinion on how well each one is working.
So far i have found the following ROMS:
Codename Android and JellyBean Evolution by Nic
There is a comparison of them here.
The thread pretty much outlines that they are smooth bountiful ROMS which they are. They work really well, however, I have noticed some extra things wrong with them other then the outlined ones:
-Loudspeaker does not work and breaks the mic for the call.
-Sometimes the text on the homescreen becomes blurred, you have to lock the screen for a while to get that to go away.
-The full screen videos crash the phone, the fix doesn't work on my phone.
The next ROM i have seen is the CyanVivo X mod. I haven't tried this one but it seems like it has all the same problems. Front camera doesn't work. Full screen vids etc.
There is one that has been released recently:
It is an unofficial CM release:
It seems to have solved all of the problems with the ROM, the front camera works, it seems like it is quick, the only thing it doesnt handle is video camera. Can anyone tell me about problems with this ROM.
I was hoping to make a good Thread which compares each of these ROMs and which ones are the best?
The first two are just ROMs to say you have JB on your phone, both are buggy but some people can live with this and use them daily. These were the first JB ROMs, the same Dev got them running then support stopped.
CV10 is the breakthrough JB ROM, Dev working on it and the ROM has potential. More stable than the first two ROMs as Dev focusing on the kernel, currently still got a couple of bugs which some people can live with to be able to use the ROM daily. Keep an eye on this thread for development progress and regular feedback.
CM10 has a ninja for a Dev, works in the background and appears absent from the forum. Then ROM appears. The ROM currently seems to be the most stable/complete JB ROM and has least bugs. Many people using this as a daily use ROM. But is the Dev still working on it to perfect it, how long until the next update... nobody knows!
I tried this ROM, battery life seemed short, I struggled to get a days normal use from one charge. Plus I wanted my video camera to be working so I can film my young kids when I needed to. Back on ICS/sense ROM now.
These are just my own crude opinions.

3. Google now may not work..
4. tablet mode won't have an option to enable USB connectivity...

From reading the thread on the paranoid android it looks like it has more bugs then the Unofficial CM ROM. Things including permenant sleep and crashing with full screen video, which i experienced with the original ROMS from Nik.
The only problems I have with the Unofficial ROM is that the battery drains quite quickly (About 10Hrs on Battery with Juice Defender Pro), it can be a bit Laggy at times which i didn't experience with Niks ROMS and sometimes it doesn't quite wake up properly, (The button lights come on but you have to wait a bit for the screen)
Hi,
My experience with the ROM was different.. yes is an issue with the full screen video but the thread mentions the solution.. I did not have any issues with phone not-able-to-sleep... the battery was also good - it used to last atleast a day with good usage on calls...
With tools like 'Easy Battery Saver' it even touched 2 days with normal usage..
I was on the ROM for six months with no issues.. also i did not use the default launcher bundled with the ROM; I had installed APEX launcher rather..

Try turning off network based location in gps settings and rebooting the phone. it's a known bug with cm. :/
Are you only looking at CM/AOSP/AOKP roms?
I really don't think any are ready for daily use. Every one I used I thought was okay, then I needed to use the camera or some setting and it would crash. I'm going to wait for szezso to make a fully working kernel.
I think I'm going to test lacoste right now though... I'll tell you what I think.

I've been using dla5244's Unofficial CM10 for more than a week now. It's definitely a daily driver. With v2, even camcorder works wonderfully. I believe the v2 kernel is full featured and I can find no bugs at all so far.

Lacoste is just another version of unofficial.. For me i prefer unofficial because dla did all the work, but in lacoste, it is just a couple of tweaks based on dlas rom..

I tried CyanVivo X, and it was awesome, except neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on. I'll give the unofficial CM10 ROM a try!

I've been using Unofficial CM10 since it was released and scrolling is as smooth as it should be.
What CPU governor are you using? I once switched to Interactive with some bad tweaks which resulted in something like you're experiencing now. After switching to ondemand/smartassv2 everything is fine now.

Actually I read your previous thread about battery life so I tried it myself. Maybe I screw something up.
Is it worth flashing a new ROM at the moment? I mean, the ROMs I've seen are incomplete and I read about a lot of problems? If its worth it, what is the best ROM out now and why?

I don't really know about problems with arman68's infiniROM. It is smooth, fast and battery-life is much better than stock.
Not really "goodies" which can cause issues.
I use the AIO Mod v6, system-apps and debloater and i am satisfied
But, if it is worth is your decision

I think Omar ROM is the best in the moment. Each 3 ~ 5 days there's a new build. That's good because you know that the no one quited the project of something like that, different from Pi-Llama that you never know the next update.
It has great battery life (2 days without charge it), smooth like hell and i'm without bugs at this moment. I'm using jully 4 build.

The best you've to do is make a clean install. Wype everything and format all your device, to then install it. Works like a charm. If you install build over build, you'll get lags soon or later.
I hope i helped you.

Same here, works without a flaw - butter-smooth and seriously great battery-life (~6h30m screen uptime, playing around with the phone like a little kid... still 28%).
To be honest, I didn't try Omar's - but arman68's infiniROM is just perfect.

I really thought about trying omars ROM but there are to much issues postet for me. I don't want to make a full wipe twice a week. I want to use my phone
But its a great work what omar is doing. omars kernel is integrated in armans ROM...
I think I'm really considering Omar's ROM it seems less hassle than infinirom even though the constant updates, but I think that if I just backup my apps in a zip or whatever I'll should be fine :3

You don't need to make a fill wipe with each build. You can install it over the old. As I said, there will be an hour that you have to make a full wipe and a clean install, if not, you'll get lags.
I have personally tried both Omar's rom and Arman's infinirom, I don't really notice much of a difference between the two. Omar's rom has more goodies, but imo Arman's is better as a daily driver just because updates don't come out as often. They're both worth trying out. Regarding battery life, I haven't seen the remarkable battery life that everyone has with infinirom. At best, I usually end up with 3.5 hours screen time after two days of use. Omar's gives about the same battery life. Then again, cell signal in my area is average at best.
Oh and one last thing, is you want to use some mods in the forum like shaftenberg's music controls, use Omar's as it's deodexed. Hope you like whichever one you go with, they're both better than stock!

Omar-Avelar's ROM totally worth it. It seems to be the most actively developed and people are liking it.
I came from Moto Defy and Defy+, I was used to CM10 (the best d* ROM ever) and Omar-Avelar is the closest for XT890 I've used so far.
=D
Have a nice day

I think that's the point.
With every respect to any developer here, but we are still on stock ROMs. Omar did some great changes to the kernel, but most of the work are mods, deleted system apps and so on. Tweaks here and there, but not every tweak is for anyone.
Take automatic brightness for example: arman68 tweaked this so much, you can get outstanding battery life with it - if you use it.
Personally I prefer *my* settings, which are 40% brightness indoors, 100% outdoors, that's it. AMOLED lives with its colors, why darken it to get some hours more in standby?
Every user will tell you other opinions, some need extra fps for gaming, some want to swap SD card, some other need very dark screens for reading at night. It depends what you want.
Summary for me: I stay on stock, deodexed it, disabled some Motorola stuff I don't need manually, disable Google Now(!), put some mods in it for my likings and a happy face and I'm fine with it. In general I got same battery life, because the largest battery hog is the display.
You might want to test Omar's kernel for stock ROM, think, that's the greatest deal - but have in mind that you might not see or "feel" the difference.
I second that! Omar's is the best so far, but make sure you do regular nandroid backups.

Thank guys, I appreciate the help, I tried both but settled with Omar's, did some streamlining of that myself and set it on interactive x with sio I love it

Plain and simple, I'd highly suggest this rom to anyone looking for a new rom. I've always love super roms (roms that mash together features of more than one rom). I've been running it for a couple days now and am loving every second of it. Many parts of this reminds me of PAC rom, but for some reason I'd pick this over PAC anyday, it just has more feeling for some reason.
The Good:
Full LED control. I was so very disappointed in stock android when I saw what the LED can REALLY do (you can pick almost any color under the sun for battery alerts or notifications that you can set up for per app basis)
AOSB in black (EXACTLY the same as PAC in black)
All CM11 features.
You select how many steps there are in the volume control
Good battery life(Can play a lot of games throughout school and it'll be at around 4% when I get home from school)
Slim Recent Apps
Split view(Even though I don't know what you'd use it for on a phone)
Full nav. bar/ring editing support.
The Bad
No Paranoid Android type control of the UI, which I was kind of hoping for, just a type of it through a preinstalled Xposed app
Outdated Xposed and Kernel tweaker, but since their modified they can't be updated from GPlay store. I ended up uninstalling them from system then reinstalled them from GPlay store, but was kind of irritating that they aren't newest versions.
Poor built in kernel. If you want kernel features at all, you'd have to find a good CAF kernel out there (I'm running Chaos Kernel v11.1)
Long hold back to kill app doesn't seem to work
No ability to have the menu button EVER show up unless you manually add it to nav bar, but then the buttons look weird since it makes all the buttons closer and it plain looks weird for it not to stick to the right or left side.
Doesn't get very dark(I also noticed this in stock, but was hoping that there was some change here, but no luck)
Google Camera's HDR+ makes the app crash (Google camera also doesn't automatically install over built in camera app)
All in all I love this rom, but it is a little rough around the edges. NOTE: I don't know if it's just me or what, but I had problems with supersu, but I'm not sure if it was the rom or me just accidentally messing up stuff
This convinced me to keep the stock version No bugs at all, and all the features that it containes are working.

I come from HTC and decided to get my N5 specifically to avoid bootloader locks and get loads & loads of custom ROMs, after I actually bought it, I completely forgot about that, I haven't even rooted my device yet. Stock rom is perfect.
Well if you ever do want to keep stock, but want some features of a custom room, you can always get the gravity box module for xposed, or get multirom so you cab still have your custom rom; just a suggestion

That's what I'm planning to do. Just rooting for extra features, but keeping it stock. The benefits of custom roms are great, but I'm done with bugs and features not functioning as they should.

Last night I decided to switch back to stock. Realized I should have kept it all along.

I've been thinking of flashing Novafusion's CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini and I was wondering what people's experiences with it are so far. Does it boot up fast? Can you navigate through the menus smoothly or are the animations a bit choppy? Do apps work better/faster on it than on stock Android? I'd like to know this so I can actually make a decision whether or not to install the ROM on my phone.

hi, i decided to root my phone about 6 months ago, i did it but accidentally deleted EVERYTHING from my phone and my phone was only bootlooping. Lucky for me i installed TWRP before that. I downloaded Carbon rom and tried it for about 3-4 days and it was really good rom. I decided to switch to CM11. This rom was by far the best rom that i ever used. It has many advantages, it is lightweight, it has theme engine(this is the best feature for me), it is fast and stable, animations are also fast, battery life is good, maybe it is even great, i couldnt tell exactly because my battery is not original and it is old, phone calls are good, messaging also works, internet is great(wi-fi and mobile data), the phone does not boot fast(it boots in 2 mins or so), stock boots faster, switching between apps is definitely faster than stock and overall impression is much better than stock rom. If you don't like this rom, you can always flash Dmod V6 which is stock rom, but different themed and devs added different stuff. So if you have any further questions just PM me or comment, i will try to answer ASAP.
sorry for my bad english, hope this helps

i'm used cm 11.0 it really good for who searching fully working rom, i upgraded to cm 12.1 the rom it also good but the bugs for me it's the record screen and change vpn
Thanks for the replies, guys. This will really help in my decisionmaking. The only thing I will probably not like is the status bar that is on the screen. Ihave this on my tablet (running CM11) and I have no idea how to customize it.
Novafusion ROM is the best custom ROM . It runs very smooth. Apps run even smoother if you convert your partition to f2fs . One SMALL disadvantage is that it drains battery fast.
