Database Develop

Poll : Which Custom Rom you are running?

Poll : Which Custom Rom you are running?

Not trying to be funny, but many people here change roms more than they changed their underwear. So the poll will be flawed.

Very true. I was on Doc's a couple days ago, then went to Darky's 9.5, and yesterday changed to Simply Galaxy Sweet Honey

1) Is this post development? I don't think so.
2) Is this post necessary? I don't think so.
3) As previously stated, is this poll accurate? I don't think so.
Why bother?

Yes you are right that people are always on the move.....I know this will be not 100% accurate but at least at this instance of time it can give us an idea (say 80% accuracy) about Market Trend (means popularity of rom) at this time (lets say Mar/Apr 2011) with current available ROMs. It may change in a month or two. But then in next quarter we may run another poll...

This thread should be in General.. that's why you'll not have a good answer here. (It's typically "noobish" to post questions or poll here, unless it's for developping something by yourself or with some dudes..)
And, on my opinion that's useless, all custom rom or more or less the same : A Sammy Rom deodexed and zipaligned, changements are tweaks... it's made me laugh when in themes OP specify it's for Doc's or Darkyy (of course it will works on both, only version/region is important).
For me no matter which rom you're using, it's Android.
If there is just one difference, it's between CM/MIUI AOSP based roms and Sammy'roms.
Same for kernels, it's just more or less functions and geeking/tweaking.

You are wrong! I will be very happy! Oh btw, a full general is only a 4-star general. maybe you can become a field marshal?
I'm way past on jealousy.

Your doing it wrong, missing some of the major roms.. Loving the hate in this thread btw. Good to know XDA is not only about sharing is caring, love, puppies and nuclear war.

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.

[Q] Best ROM for daily usage for my wife?

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 don't know... its a result of a long travel by train
Maybe for users who want to try something new but don't know what to choose.
Or ROM/Kernel devs want to know what users think.
Does it bother you that much?

He he yeah not your fault at all. They need to be moved by the moderator team into android development along with xenonHD. They simply are not doing anything other then the 1000 of android development ROMs....kanging. No original work at all. Nothing bad but hammerhead moderators decided at the beginning to clearly differentiate it...which is IMO a good idea...but this 3 silently added their ROMs threads into original and I think that's not fair for the other android development ROMs (like carbon aicp madhi etc etc) that user think this three mentioned above do original work.

It does, yes. It is against XDA rules to make Best ROM or Best Kernel threads for the reason that "some" devs don't like to be compared to others. It is against the Spirit of XDA. Even though your results are not technically what is best, it is still comparing the work so should still be against the rules.
I will leave it in the hands of mods. If they decide to allow this thread, fine. If not, also fine.

Yeah quiet difficult to decide here agree and something in a gray zone I think lol. On the one hand it is a comparison on the other hand very anonymous and it shows specific stats as well for the different ROMs and kernels (like which version most are running etc). And stats about quality speed etc are not ROM specific and only shown as overall impressions about all ROMs and kernel....difficult lol.
Whatever yeah mods need to decide.

Definitely a grey area.

Unfortunately comparison threads are not allowed on XDA, be it a poll or just a thread. While it is anonymous that is not the point, as mentioned some ROM/Kernel devs do not like seeing their work being compared to the work of others. As this is as outside poll (and a nice one at that) I must remove the link from the OP as members could still vote and view it otherwise.

MM ROMS

HI
can anyone tell which is best MM rom for daily use?
there are too many MM ROMS for xperia z and honestly i don't have enough time to test all of them but somebody use all of them can help me decide which one to use. all is important for me is a bug free(or minimum) ROM and battery use
thanks

the best mm rom for me so far is RR.

13 > Which is the Best ROM for this phone?
NEVER EVER ASK THIS QUESTION!! This is a very subjective question. It differs from person to person. It takes a lot of time/energy/efforts to build a custom ROM and asking this question is a very big insult to the makers of these ROMs! Try out different ROMs and choose what you like.

It's a difficult question to answer. Let me explain it to you with an example; I personally prefer AOSP or near AOSP type ROMs. Working of custom kernel features isn't a must for me hence am using Stryder's AOSP build. Someone else might need this features hence may opt for Tesla ROM. It doesn't mean AOSP is more stable than Tesla or vice-versa. Each ROM has its own set of issues.
The way I use to limit my choices is by looking at ROM features, reading through the thread looking at bugs, change log, etc. Then trying out the ROM which is best suited for my needs. You could have your own way to tackle this issue. But asking people on a forum makes you susceptible to others prejudices instead of you forming your own opinion. This according to me is another reason why questions like yours is frowned upon.
If you want the latest features, you'll need to have to put in more time and effort into it. No pain, no gain. Form your own opinion don't depend on other's opinion for something that you need to use on your phone.
Edit: Sorry for coming across as a patronizing jerk, but seemed like explaining this way, you'll get some perspective to what am trying to convey. Hope this helps.
