Welcome to xda and read forum rules once and remember them bcoz you should post questions in q&a section

Let me also add something to that. The 'which one is best' kind of threads aren't allowed either. Just remember this for next time

What are the newest most stable rom releases?

Hi
I must say I am a bit disconnected from the Android world since I get to university and I must ask how all have evolved. I'm looking for the newest most stable custom roms at the moment of this post. I think it would be a good idea to maintain a post like this to keep track of what roms have reached a stable, proven state without having to dig too much.
Cheers!

Well there's the RC4 build (release candidate 4) of cyanogen mod 10.1 that's quite good. Its based on android 4.2.2.
Take note that you should ask questions in the questions section and ROM discussions are generally frowned upon so do venture into the development section to learn more about them.

OOPS!! I forgot the Q&A section totally. I would like to move this post or delete it but I don't see how I should do it. The Edit/delete button just drives me to the edit section and I don't see any way of deleting the post.
No worries, a mod will lock or move this thread eventually

I recommend roms with Mackay kernel, they are often stable and durable in battery but less powerful than Devil kernel. By the way, no one has moved or deleted this post yet =))
latest official samsung firmware tend to be the fastest most secure and stable ... try it maybe [ROOTED / 3FILE] XWJWB#_XEEJW2_XWJW1 by stock+

[Q] JB Rom for i9000 without bugs, fully stable?

As in title, i'm looking for the most stable rom around based on jelly bean and bug-free.
i need something goood, with everything working out-of-the-box; nothing aesthetically special, even a pure google style would be okay (indeed, it'd be much better).
thanks in advance for your kind help!

CM10.1.3 recent RC build (pawitp's thread). Battery life maybe won't be great, but the build is excellent.
Meanwhile CM10.2 works for some people perfectly well (like for myself), but for some others not. It is even faster and gives about double battery life than the CM10.1x
Check threads by the developer pawitp
(if you flash CM10x, pay attention to flash compatible gapps for that android(x) version right after the CM build, it isn't mentioned in the first post anymore for some reson)
thanks for your clear answer, when i'll be ready to change rom i'll follow your suggestions!
Meanwhile, i'd really like to get s3\s4 icons on my gingerbread value pack...can you suggest me a mod for this purpose? i digged through tens of pages here in xda but i didn't find anything for my firmware

There's always launchers and icon packs for them...
As far as I'm aware there's no S3/S4 icon pack for stock roms and the stock launcher alone, however there is a complete S3 theme (it goes beyond the icons and themed everything else) for two GB custom roms out there..

The best thing would be to check it for yourself. Every phone is different, something that behaves well here could work different on your device.
Thanks krzysiekx,
I´ve already tried those three ROM and could not find any differences regarding stability, that´s why i´m asking for other mentions in this thread. Maybe other user have had some differences in stability. But thank you for your answer anyway... :good:

I had CM 10.x on Semaphore 2.7 kernel when I first bought my phone and it was great, everything was smooth and I had no battery problems. Now I installed CM 10.2 last RC version and it was quite battery consuming and laggy on my SGS
No Rom is fully SD stable but i suggest cm10.1 (nearly perfect for me)

Boys, and why don't you like "I scream send witch?"
Indeed i was both curious for the newest versions of android and for the most stable (AND light) rom around...i refuse to do one step forward if i have to stop at ICS, it doesn't give me more than what i got on GB
@ everybody: i searched for s3\s4 icons packs but i didn't find anything relevant. now i'm using a deodexed rom based on 2.3.6 value pack...links would be muc appreciated

Making the GNote as fast as possible?

Hello dear XDA peeps!
My Xperia Z just broke so Im back on my GNote1 and boy is it slow!

Asking for best rom is again XDA rules, If you are on stock rom and as you mentioned that it hasn't been used for a while, factory reset might help, if you don't like touchwiz, then flash KK rom of your choice after clean wipe, read thread for instructions on how to.

Sorry, missed that rule about asking for a rom :/
I am running good old CM 9xxx. I was more asking if there are any known roms to be as lite as possible and a really light launcher.
Anyway, Im downloading latest CM now and Ill see how that perform I get the idea that latest CM isnt the most light, especially for old devices with only 1gb ram, am I wrong?

never used CM, so i might not be the right person to answer that. I have been using Omnirom and Asylum-omni rom both with fabulous performance and battery life.
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.

[Question] JB decent and smooth ROM

Hi there, this is a desperate topic. Last night (and until now) I've been looking for a decent and smooth JB ROM for my samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830 and I couldnt find anything.
does anyone found any stable JB ROM for this device?
Thank you very much
Regards
Anyone? :\
First of all, this is the wrong section. Should've asked in general. Anyway, no there are no smooth JB Roms for Ace since it is getting old and the CPU and RAM cannot handle JB. You can get some decent ROMs at adroidarmv6 or you can try Mardon's modded ones. Honestly, I recommend either stock, CM7 or a decent CM9 (the one from Rhievaldo is the smoothest).
The Ace's CPU is aging, CM7 should be more stable and faster than JB.
But if you _really_ want JB then just go with plain old CM
Wrong section tho

Better Custom Rom

Hello guys
I have a GT-I8190 phone and want to make a root and install a custom rom...
I searched about root but the information is a bit confused or have links down. Can i install twrp (https://twrp.me/site/update/2015/06/22/twrp-2.8.7.0-released.html) and then install super su (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)?
Later i want to install the custom rom, i thought about - KitKat 4.4.4 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20151017 or Lollipop 5.1.1 (CyanogenMod 12.1) 20151013 stable. Which one you think it's the best? The smoother and best battery life?
Thank you for your answers
KK 4.4.4 is the more stable working variant.

ok, i will install that first
Is lollipop (cm12.1, omni, slimLP )better than kitkat to keep on our s3 mini as we can experience ART and cool animations.
I already installed the 4.4.4 and looks really good!
I'm gonna try it to see how it goes...and then maybe try lollipop
I tried to install again the CM 11 and now got the error "encryption unsuccessful"
Can anyone tell me a workaround for this device?
Many thanks
Cm 11 drain battery as hell.
About your problem check your partitions, system, data, cache, must be on ext4
Please guys stop open threads, asking for the best ROM. As @kennethpenn well said, "Looking for the best ROM? The fastest ROM? Head over to the development section and try a few for yourself. We do not allow threads asking about the best/fastest ROM at XDA. Please do not create threads comparing ROMs." Original from here & please read the XDA rules first. Thanks

We are a bit lenient on Best Rom threads for quite some time now and so far no big issues irised from it.
As long things are kept civil and free from fanboyism etc we will allow it.
We WILL close them when we whe notice abuse though.
Cheers!
