[GUIDE/INFO] Which ROM is the best for my needs?

I see a lot of threads created by users with one question:
What is the BEST ROM for the Sony Xperia SP?
These kind of threads are not allowed here on XDA so I almost instantly report them
Well to give a straight answer to the question:
NONE!!!
Ofcourse you want to know Why?
~ Well lets start with the very beginning shall we?
There are a lot of diffrent custom ROMS. I know of the following:
No doubt there are more but I dont want a list that is miles long
CyanogenMod
AOSP (Android Open Source Project)
AOKP
Panandroid
MIUI
Omni ROM
Crystal PA
Carbon ROM
And ofcourse we have ROMS that are Stock Based.
To define Stock Based: Stock based are ROMS made from the firmware that has been released for any phone.
Below you see a picture with the Plain Stock Android Look and Sony UI:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is one of the major diffences between the Plain Stock Android (from Google) and the Plain Stock from Sony. Ofcourse this is not the only diffrence. ROMS like CyanogenMOD, AOKP, AOSP, Omni and Panandroid do have the looks of Plain Android from Google.
As you may know by now Sony has his own Skin (duh!).. This skin is a layer on top of the Plain Android build from Google and includes:
Diffrent looks
Other App drawer
Other Homescreen layout
Other phone, conctact and messaging apps
Themed settings app
Themed Statusbar
Sony is the only brand that has his own theme engine!! Other brands like HTC, LG and Samsung have their own device/brand specific things
~ Some other layers on top of Android:
Samsung Touchwiz (Galaxy S4) against Sony UI:
HTC Sense 6 (From the M8) agains Sony UI from the KitKat update or Z2:
The above pictures only shows the diffrence between all the looks of the homescreen.. These diffrence are also found in:
App Drawer
Statusbar and notification area
Settings
On Screen buttons (only if the phone has them)
Apps
~ Lets get back to the Custom ROM talk shall we?
The main issue with most users is the performance of all the ROMS.. Plain Stock ROM released by Sony should be stable for daily use. This is not always the case and Sony is not the only brand that has issues with either updates, or their software.. Let me recall a few things:
Huawei Acend P6: 1 big bug. Wifi does not reconnect automaticly.. Wifi needs to be turned off and on again for connection
Samsung Galaxy S2: Update from GingerBread to Ice Cream Sandwich had battery drain issues
HTC One X: Hardware issues; poor wifi signal
Samsun Galaxy S3: No KitKat due to ammount of bloatware from Samsung
Samsun Galaxy Advance: Major lag since Jelly Bean update
So we are not allone when it comes to software or in some cases hardware. :victory:
Back to performance....
We all know that hardware plays a big part in terms of performance. Our Sony Xperia SP has good hardware for a mid end device.
Our hardware in short:
Snapdragon Dual Core running 1.7 Ghz
Adreno 320
1 GB RAM
All the ROMS will be running just fine on our device.. Our hardware is good enough to run it without issues..
We only need to remember a few words:
Testing, Alpha, Beta, Stable, WIP
Testing: Build is done but still in testing.. Things could be removed, added or fixed in a later build
Alpha: Build works proper but there are some bugs that keep the ROM from being a daily driver
Beta: Build is working enough for a daily driver but there are still some bugs
Stable:Build is stable enough for daily use. All the major issues and bugs are fixed and gone but it is possible you encounter one or two.
WIP:Work In Progress. ROM is build but far from stable and the work is in progress
Almost all the ROMS for our device are either in Beta or in Stable status. Which means that all the ROMS are working proper enough for daily use!
Thanks to all the hard working developers!! Thanks guys
But lets stop here for a second.. Not all the ROMs have the same feeling or gaming performance (as stated by some users) as stock ROM... Why is that...
This is an question I just dont know how to answer. All the ROMS are using other sources from other developers ( or development teams) so it is possible that a bug or optimatisation is missed. Just keep reporting bugs an issues to the developer and someday it will be fixed :angel:
So before I end this massive post I need you to do a small check list:
I want Root? (if Yes go to 3 if no go to 2)
Dont change anything
Root the device and go to 4
I want a custom ROM? If yes go to 6 if no go to 5
Install a pre rooted Stock ROM (See Android Development)
I am able to unlock my bootloader (Yes I can but I dont want to; go to 7, No I cant; go to 7, Yes i will unlock it; go to 8)
Install any custom ROM for Locked Bootloaders (Yes you can choose CyanogenMod for LB Look in the Original Android Development Section)
Unlock the bootloader and install any custom ROM you want!
How do I know which custom ROM suits my needs?
Answer:
BACK UP AND TRY OUT!!​
You need to determine the following things for yourself:
Do I want the latest Android version?
Do I want to have Plain Android?
Do I want the SonyUI?
Am I willing to test things out?
Please remember some of the development rules:
Do not ask for ETA
Do not post issues without proper documentary like logcat, dmsg etc
Do not spam the development thread for requests
Be nice to each other
Be nice to the developer because he or she has worked hard on their rom

Moderator request : Make this a sticky thread...
Finally someone said it with big letters..Thank you @mrjraider !

That would be the third or fourth thread of me that is a stickey

I hope this thread will help users with their dilemma of ROMS.. If not do not hesitate to ask any questions here
Also I will try to update this thread from time to time
And I believe that these kind of threads should also be made in the General Android section of XDA

None : they all have little problems but these are different for each ROM. Again a problem could make one user consider the ROM unstable but not another user depending on their usage.

Version is as of now Kitkat,
It's based on N8010 NJ1 rom, which some Tab-S apps, (note that more will come) but as of now initial release is just the beginnign) i'm trying to get most of the tablet updated, and lollipop is no good since Xposed isn't working on samsung, so i'll keep the 4.4.2 as base as of now, and not sure if we'll get 5.0.x i think samsung ditches us now
one day (sooner or later) i'll try to port the Tab-S rom fully, but that can take a while

Thank you!
I'm excited about the ROM. However just noted, the N8010 model. Mine is N8000. Will make a port for the same too?
Samsung announced Android 5.0.2 for the Note 10.1 (older too). Maybe after this release, look lighter easy to bring the custom lollipop.
But it is already great news. If you can carry the Lollipop for the Note 10.1

This works well on the n8013 after installing Boeffla Kernel and the WiFi fix from Gnabo. Nice and speedy! Good work so far, I'll let you know if I run into any issues

i have n8000 but my sim card slot isnt working .. i don use gsm connection .. can i try this rom ?

Old bug in CM. Camera freeze after shots.
The only rom (CM based) that does not have the bug is RR in its latest version.

Some third party remote apps showing IR transmission error.
Anyway, very good buttery ROM. thanked @tioguda
One request to @tioguda
Since you are adept in porting S4 mini single SIM variant ROMs to the DUOS variety, can you to try your hands once for porting the MIUI variety for our i9192? Of course it depends on your will and wish and your valuable time. Just a request from my side.

Bro,thanks for porting this rom to our device.One thing I want to know before downloading.Is the network selection settings the old style ,where one could select WCDMA only,GSM only,etc or the recent style of 2G and 3G?The old style was more user friendly.Why the CM developers chose to change it is beyond my comprehension.People advise to change the settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*.But it never sticks forme.After some times it again reverts back to 2g/3g auto mode from 3g only mode.

There are zero stock based flashable ROMs for Galaxy A5 so here goes one (or three actually)
Its based on BOL1 for A5FU (2.12.2015) and BOK2 for A5F (19.11.2015) and BOK3 for A5H (19.11.2015), the unbranded versions of Samsung ROM.
NOTE: ONLY /FU VARIANT IS SUPPORTED. (I've only got this device)
PLEASE DON'T REQUEST HELP FROM /F /H VARIANTS. THEY WILL WORK IF YOU ONLY GET THEM PAST INSTALLATION VIA TWRP.
This rom is:
De-odexed
De-bloated
Mostly Google apps
Turn off rest of the apps you see fit
De-Knox'd
Zipaligned
Rooted
Busybox'd
It also features:
Note Edge launcher
Note 5 apps:
Note5 Clock package
Note5 Weather widget
Note5 Wallpaper chooser
Note5 My file
Note5 Calculator
Note5 Gallery
Note5 Voice Recorder
S6 Apps:

S6 Fonts
S6 Memo
S6 Radio
S6 Video
S6 Setup wizard
S6 Galaxy App
S6 Galaxy App Widget
S6 Smart Manager
S6 S Planner

S6 UI Sounds
I just piled up this ROM from bits. All the credit goes to these guys:
@Chainfire for root
@Allooosh98 for Note5 / S6 apps and icons
@haleem320 for Note Edge launcher
@SuperR. for cooking facilities
@ciak ciak for SPlanner and SMusic
@jimbomodder for mirroring files
Disclaimer:
This works for me, so it should work for your device also. Do not hold me responsible if something goes wrong during flashing process. Do this only with your own consent and bear yourself all the risks.
Installation via TWRP:
Please make a backup with TWRP, its easy and saves lots of time in case things go south.
An update to at latest unbranded firmware (official FW via odin/KIES) is recommened before installing this. There has been reports of small annoyances if coming straight from older 5.0.2 base.
Wipe all the data (except SD-card) and flash this ROM. Let it boot for good 10min and you're done.
(The first boot really takes about 10min!)

Bless you my friend, exactly what i was after.

Now updated to V2. Working like a charm!

Hi I tried to flash your ROM V2.1 with TWRP 2.8.7.0, but get a message - 'This package is for "a5ulte" devices; this is "a5". Why? I have A500FU?

Hmm, interesting.
Can u send your build.prop after you've restored your old setup back?

I had to restore system with ODIN - I got an forceclose of Market and can not skip the startup settings. So that I will flash TWRP again a let you know.

So I flashed original ROM with ODIN again, flash TWRP and now it works. Shat it was probably related to my previous ROM set up (rooted).
Now I flashed directly V2.1 and it seems it works, but I am not able to switch WIFI on.
Any suggestion?

which base ROM is V2.1? if different from the stock you flashed it won't work. stock tw ROMs need to match CSC,BL + modem in order to work. I found this out myself. u need the very latest ROM available if V2.1 is based off that.

I used this version - A500FUXXU1BOF1. Do you think too old?
Which version you recommend as a base? BOJ4 as you used for your ROM?

Weird.
Works for me, and there are no Wifi-files forked whatsoever, so that part is completely stock. U sure your device is a500FU?

Yes.
This ROM is based completely on stock BOJ4 and all the files, excluding those that are pulled from other devs (Note and S6, list on the first post).

hence why WiFi will not work on older modems/bootloaders. Samsung's fault not yours. :thumbup:

Hi everybody,
so I reflash the ROM again, update it to latest state, flash TWRP, make a factory wipe and flash the V2.1, and the result is, it works.
So that, to be able to install this ROM without problems, up to date baseband - BOJ4 - is necessary.
Thanks Julian for your great job, and the others for help.
Keep going

Yeah!
I updated installation instructions so that upgrade to newest official FW prior to flashing is recommened.
PS. just noticed that Samsung has released new base for our devices (BOL1 - 2.12.2016)
I update this ROM when NEE arrives for download.
Also corrected right base code for this ROM. Its BOJ6, not BOJ4

Well I came out of latest czech unbranded version and my base code is BOJ4 and works for now. Maybe both base codes are suitable.
One more think, once you implement S6 Themes, does it mean, that we can use themes made for S6 and other currently supported phones? Is there any chance to open access to Theme Store as well for A5?
