Hello,
I generally don't like these kind of the questions as I always prefer to explore the Development section to try out the roms myself but I'm currently on vacation and a relative asked me to help her speed up her Galaxy S Advance. I just don't have time to spend a day flashing roms.
So, what I'm looking for is a fast and stable rom. Don't care if it's not KitKat and "only" JellyBean or if it ain't the fastest either. I suppose it's going to be AOSP/CM based as I doubt any TouchWiz Rom will do.
Any suggestion ?
Thank you !
Also, it needs to be fully functional...

This kind of question is not allowed, but in this special case only...
Search for CM 10.1 build 20131117 if you want something really stable, incredibly fast and with awesome battery life.
Or search for CM 10.2, use latest build available. Less battery life but nothing big.
Stay away from KitKat ROMs if she needs long battery life.
You can find ROMs on our Dev-Host, under janice folder
For that CM 10.1 build search in its thread.

Thank you very much, I'll look into the 10.1 build!
May be I am late. But one should check out carbon Rom kitkat 4.4.4 by Flo0008 if they want a fast and battery friendly and bugless and most stable Rom. It gives me 7+ hours of continuous web browsing in 3g for a 2 year old battery. (nearly 8 hours off total screen on before getting low battery warning). Awesome.

7~8 (and less than seven) hours of screen on are totally impossible on this device, unless you install CM10.1 and heavy modify some things. Even less if a kitkat ROM, even less if your battery is 2 years old, even less if you count that other kitkat ROMs don't last more than 3/3.30 hours screen on and all these ROMs come from one only device tree, the Team Canjica one!
I think that here in this forum I'm the only one (or almost) that reached more than 7 hours of screen on time with original battery and using CM10.1 with a lot of mods. And trust me, it's impossible in any other way

@AntaresOne I am not always getting 7+ hours (may be once or twice) But definitely getting 6+ hours of web browsing (with a white browser background). I have achieved it even today. For me kitkat is always more battery friendly when compared to stock jellybean. I will post my screen time screenshots when I get time. I particularly want to mention that with abyssplug governor, most of the time cpu frequency idles at 100mhz. I am motoring it with cooltools module. May be that's a reason.
BTW, I have never flashed cm 10.x. All I have tried was, Jetmod, Resurrection remix, liquid smooth, slimkat and dirty unicorns. But I am settling with Carbon kitkat.

Right now my battery is almost full. I will post my screenshots after using for a while normally with screen on browsing and when my battery is low.
By the way, I am not using the carbon final build. Because, hover is removed from that build. I am using the pre final build 19. Carbon is rock solid for me. The only thing that was not working was magnetic sensor. But after calibration using advanced tools pro magnetic sensor working fine.
In the past I did used a lot of init.d scripts, mods, supercharger script and whatever that can be found in the internet. The only thing that gave me some performance boost was crossbreeder. But I am tired of them all and now using no mods or scripts.

My battery lasted 7 hours on CM10.1 without disabling these things and with wifi on all the day. Somewhere in this forum there's the screenshot:

@AntaresOne it is always helpful to have someone like you in the forum. Being a linux user for a long time I know how to partion /data using gparted. But if somehow I manage to resize to say 3gb instead of default 2gb, then in case of emergency I am in need to flash stock JB, will it conflict?

Right now, I mean for almost 1 month am not using any script or mod. But crossbreeder helped a bit in performance and battery saving in the past, because I could often notice the second core goes offline most of the time when not needed while using crossbreeder script and abyssplug governor.

I am not stressing you but you may try crossbreeder script latest from here:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113150 (If you already know about it, then ignore). Also download his entropy app and turn on all three switches and reboot once. Do note that it will disable other entropy related apps automatically(seeder will not run - as it is not required).

Sorry for disturbing you, but my question is will any conflict occur in flashing stock JB, because of the partition sizes differing from stock rom. (If I understand correctly, enabling repartition will automatically reformat the disk sizes and the modified partition table will get reset- RIGHT?)

Repartition is not intended to be used on any stock-based ROM, but only on custom ROMs (4.2-4.3-4.4), read OP in that thread for better infos. Enabling repartition will restore stock EMMC's GPT resetting any kind of modification. Using Odin's repartition option along with correct PIT file (in that thread there are PITs for i9070/i9070p 8/16GB models) it's safe, don't worry

As a sequel to my Cyanogen Nighlies thread, I thought it appropriate to create a celebratory post linking to the stable release of 6.1.0 for the Droid Incredible.
Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).
For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Download link (or just grab it from ROM Manager):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc&type=stable
Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.
Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache

Incredibleks. Best Kernel ever. Seriously, for AOSP Roms, it is the choice. Seriously, overclocking on a snapdragon is pretty pointless. The speed differences are pretty much non-existent.
op link is messed up. you got an emoticon stuck in it
wow.. it took a while but nice to see it make final.. seemed like it was never gonna make it past rc status
I'm on 17 and love it but it appears that different kernels are acting differently on different phones. I was on 18 for a while an noticed that battery life wasn't as great and went back to 17, while other people said that 18 was better than 17 on their phone. Now 19 is out and if you look at the last couple of pages half the posts say that 19 is the best yet for battery and the other half is reporting ridiculous battery loss. You're probably best off getting the most recent one listed on the first post (#18).
Great ROM. I was running the nightly for literally a day only to come back at night and see a stable. This + the Gingerbread theme + Gingerbread Launcher will hold me over until the source drops for GB and we get a port
L.E.D don't work when getting text,mail,etc... other then that runs smooth. Thanx for all the hard work u guys put into these!
One question I have is this: I know how to remove the status bar widgets, but after doing so I'm stuck with that blank space normally occupied by the Verizon Wireless banner. Is there a way to put that back in there so there isn't that gap?
Odd that I want it back I know, but some things I'm just anal about.
Is there anyway to make it so that when you unlock and turn off the screen its instant instead of the fade out effect?

Optical pad wake
Is anyone else having a problem with the optical pad wake only working once in a while? It always works if the phone is charging but if it isn't charging it's like a 30/70 chance of it working. It seems to work if you hold it down for like 5-10 seconds but that sucks.
Does anyone know how to make it so when I install this ROM all of my apps do not auto reinstall from the market...? My old wallpaper from an AOSP i had like 4 months ago still pops up as default also!
Even if I select "do not backup apps with google" it does not work. I have also tried formatting my SD card, and phone storage to no avail...
I want to install this, but everytime I have installed an AOSP ROM and then a theme, it goes haywire because there is some sort of backup file I can't find.

There's a bug report for this but no one has been able to fix it. I believe it's the trackpad sleeping when not on the charger.
Sometimes a long press and then a short one works.. sometimes it just works.. other times you have to hold it until the screen comes on..
My power button is broken so I live with the press and hold..

Original thread Here
All credit goes to Juwell for the script.
MORE SMOOTHNESS, MORE SPEED, LESS LAGS AND ENOUGH FREE MEMORY
Hi guys,
after long time of testing I found the best balance for RAM, this script will make your RAM in the best optimization, the best optimization means the best balance between free memory, multitask, speed of launching apps and system speed. It means that you'll still have enough free memory (you'll have free memory as much as you need, because it is not good if you have really a lot of free memory, because Android's work with memory is different from other OS) and you can fully use your multitask, my script doesn't kill your app automatically when you minimize it. Your system and switching between apps or launching apps will be very fast.
Now you don't have to use Task Killer!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements: Root, Kernel which supports init.d
Lowmemorykiller values
-Values which mainly affect your multitask and free memory. Values of my script were made for combination of using multitask and still have enough free memory.
VM values
-Very important values which affect your battery consumption, system speed and speed of launching apps.

HOW TO CHECK IF SCRIPT WORKS
Download "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer" and check values:
LMK values
10MB, 16MB, 24MB, 48MB, 56MB, 72MB
VM values
50, 10, 5, 10, 90, 5

Not really sure wtf is going on here, running MIUI with incredikernel, both latest versions.
I had the same issue with the script. Remove "s" from the script so it should be "97ramscript". It should work. Worked for me after I did that.

So, I'm using DjangoManouche 1.5b5. Kernel is Gueste's 1.3.3(?) OC version. I chose 20s and I'm just wondering what is the difference between that and 20q(I live in FIN if it matters). I chose better multitasking, Pdroid and FD. What are Pdroid and FD?
In anyway, icQ, Tapatalk and Dolphin browser HD aren't staying up. It's a little annoying because I cannot get pop-up messages in icQ and the browser must reload pages every time. It happens when I'm using any other app for a few minutes and trying to use the previously used one.
The problem came back with DM ROM and I had some kind of lightly customized CM ROM. I just would like to fix that problem if it could be possible. Sorry for postig that problem on that sectio but I have no rights to post in development section yet.

no offense to anyone or any ROM, if it is the free RAM which is the cause, I would suggest that your stock ROM based choice is more than good...I am on DJ1.5B5 and I have a minimum of 140Mb always and have no issues....
so, investigate using different options mate....I can guarantee this ROM ....and its performance
I don't want to change to different rom. That rom has a lot pf options and there must be a way to make it work. I have Lg's launcher, which can take too much RAM. I should change that to Adw launcher. Well, do you have any recommendations what I should change?

I assume you have installed with an option to have a lot of free RAM. Whaddayouknow, to have a lot of free RAM the system will kill background apps.
Reinstall DM with stock OOM values, or if you know how, change them back to stock values.

BTW, I have worse problem than that. I cannot set music volume any lower in Poweramp. I set it to zero and still I hear music too loud. The problem doesn't exist in Youtube(adding volume is still a little bad). What can I do because I dont want to destroy my ears?
Edit: I paussed the music player and now it's a lot better. I added some volume when the player was paussed and then it was better. Still I cant set volume as much as I want. Help, please.
Edit 2: Okay guys, I fixed that. I disabled direct volume contol and now it's normal.
I actually use my phone to do stuff... not only tinker endlessly with it. I have Skype, Whatsapp, FB, Twitter running on the device at all times.
Last time I checked, when I boot my phone I have 768 MB in use! So when I open Chrome, or Logmein, it takes.. .forever. Even opening the dialer takes a couple of seconds. The phone itself is smooth - opening apps is what chokes my phone.
I don't overclock my phone (on JB it's impossible, anyway). But I don't think it's a GHz issue. I think that if I had 2 GB of RAM everything would be fine.
Anyway.
Should I get off JellyBean for the time being and go back to ICS? Or, would CM10 be faster and lighter?
I can't believe that when I got my Note a couple of months ago I thought it was blazing fast, and now it seems turtle-like when comparing it to my wife's Optimus 4X
In Cm10 or 10.1, ram usage is low and apps open fast too.
There are several things you can do to speed it up and lower the RAM usage. Easiest method would be to flash a tweaked ROM like Ultimate or Alliance, which already come with various optimizations. But what I found best regarding RAM usage was to install ROM Toolbox Pro, and tweak the settings under Memory Management. I use the "Advanced" or "Aggressive" profile.
This is, of course, if you want to stick with Samsung ROMs. Otherwise you could try CM/AOKP-based ROMs, some are much more lightweight than Samsung. The best in my opinion are SlimBean and Jellybam.

Because I honestly got so used to Google Now, I can't go back to ICS anymore.

These is a mod for Google now on ics too
You should try Cassies Xtra lite 11.1 LSA (there is slight difference between LSC so dev didn't make a ROM that's based on LSC)
Than flash LSC kernel if u want and use V6 superecharger from zepp and your antutu will be somewhere near 10000!!!
Thanks tu CF,Zepp,Thering1975,Adam Outler,Eybee1970 and Philz.

All the possibilities above are good alternatives to you, friend.
I use CM10.1 cause I'm always looking for good battery and smoothness.
As I'm too lazy to install and tweak those RAM optimizers, I always try custom ROMs.
Btw, Jelly Bam is trully great.
HI guys,
so I've been running on Stock for a while before switching to LineageOS and then OmniROM. I have to say that OmniROM delievers far more superior performance than LineageOS or even stock ROM. I have 140 apps installed on my Nexus, 30 of which run constantly in the background.
There's just one problem that I frequently encountered on all ROMs: SystemUI's crashing, randomly turning off (I mean completely of and not even trying the least to reboot).
You guys who have used Lineage, Stock, Omni and/or other ROMs, what are your experiences so far? With which ROM are you most pleased? I'd love to hear your opinions!

My Nexus 6 out of the box did not work a whole day. Say 7 - 22 h.
Tried custom Roms, but still battery life problems, mainly caused by the screen and navigation.
The following helped me to use the N6 a whole day:
Flashed a prerooted lite stock ROM.(Danvdh)
Flashed Franco's kernel.
Decrypted the data partition.
Replaced apps with a white background by apps with a dark theme. F.i. no G-mail but Aquamail.
Replaced G-launcher with Nova Launcher.
Where possible use of blacked out apps of the TBO-team.
My N6 is fast and works in general the whole day without recharge.

You Nexus must run so smoothly then. I have my 16100mAh battery with me all day long so battery isn't a problem for me (Trust me, just laying in my pocket makes my Nexus last 5 hours max already.)
RR with EX kernel is amazing combination with excellent battery life

A battery with more capacity would be logical in devices with a 5 to 6'' amoled display.
What I've seen is the use of (Google) apps in combination with a light background is a real problem for the Nexus 6.
Hello,
Using Pure Nexus + SuperSU + EX Kernel. Using this setup on N6, N6P and Pixel XL. I used to flash ROMs every day a few years ago. But now, kids take all my time, so I tried a few and finally kept Pure Nexus.
Just enough customization for me. Pixel look and features. I use my N6 mostly for web browsing since I switched to a new device...
Also using theme ready gapps which allow stock Google apps theming properly + domination theme (which is a black theme) helps a little bit with battery. Here is what most apps look like (check attached screenshots). I don't like white UI by the way.
