When you say this, I assume you are LB and want stock framework.
With that in mind, CM based ROM are out of the question (OMG, 80% of ROMs phased out!)
With stock-based ones, the best battery life actually comes from MIUI, but
1. It offers a non-stock user expeience
2. It is on 4.2.2
The only ROM that is both active (not outdated if you wonder) can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/development/rom-ultimate-purexzr-ultra-v3-t2894718
Good luck:good:
We generally do not to "Best of" threads. As mentioned above you will need to try the roms and see what works best for you... Closed and moved to it's proper place in Q and A.

hi guys
This is a noob question but which one is better?what is the reason that developers try to release their ROMs 4 stock kernels when they are custom ones out there?
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Custom kernels can give you better performances and more options then Stock kernel. However, there are some phones that cant have their bootloader unlocked so they have to stick to stock kernel ( phone produced after 29th week of 2011 cant unlock bootloader).

As said by him , Custom ROM + Kernel give you a big boost in performance.If you can't unlock your bootloader go with GingerDX(the only one good for stock kernel)
if you can unlock go for GingerDX + Alfs kernel , by far the best in performance.

They still make roms for stock to support those who can't unlock their bootloader. For me, custom kernels are better, with only one problem: it drains a little bit more batt than the stock, but a boost in performance.
I use nAa-11 kernal, it have more updates then the others and a good performance. In nAa roms you have to use it, because the wifi is built in the kernel and not in the rom.
I hope it helped. Sorry my bad english
It the thanks if I helped
Tnx buddies
No currently i'm using nAa 11... i was just confused about this custom & stock stuff

I have stock kernel, and i can't unlock bootloader. i want to ask wich rom should i use wich is fast and stable. thanks
Got many custom rom at forum.
Which custom is better, good batery life and performent?
I am newbie...
Custom for sure, because it improves performance of your phone. And also does other stuff but i think you will not understand.
I think primeHD and GingerDX are good for stock kernel

1. I want good battery life, but I do not want the ROM or kernel to be slow or laggy.

As you are on the old bootloader,
check out the ROMs by Temasek, ParanoidAndroid by tonyp....MIUI by rugglez
you have to refer to the respective Kernels for the ROMs.....
Pengus Kernel suits well for Temasek ROM and PA....but selection of a ROM depends on your personal requirements, taste and needs....
So decide for yourself mate
Hello. i want to sure not to mess with my father's not rooted galaxy note gt-n7000 so my questoin maybe lame but i had a bad experience rooting gs2 and without
i need to know what is the best and the safest kernel for the note. and best custom rom 4.1.2 based on touchwiz
i alredy downloaded Kernel_CM10.1_20130320_n7000_CWM.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397 this will work fine ?
Thank you
If you flash that kernel you will have boot loop for sure that is a cm10.1 ROM kernel not touchwiz. And you have to be rooted to flash. I don't mess with toichwiz to much I use a cm10.1 ROM I build my self and theme my self but in the terms of kernels for touchwiz look into philz kernels they are safe and I do believe they can be flashed from stock recovery and will root the phone. As for ROMs they are all safe. JUST DONT FLASH ANY ROMS FROM STOCK ICS KERNELS. and also if you look into the how to root part of the ROM forum you will find a lot of info. Then just research the different ROMs to see which one is right for your use.

thanks for the info.. :good: ill do more reading .. i dont wanna mess things up..
hope PhilZ Touch will do the work
for TW JB there are only 2 kernels .. .Philz and Speedmod JB
Go for Philz, Best one (My experience) You will get good benchmark results, better battery life. Good rooted phone.

Yeah, for TW JB the best option is Philz kernel and Speedmod kernel. I myself prefer Philz Kernel. Suit yourself with one of both of them..

i recommend JonROM, It's very smooth and fast (no laggy), It's also has good battery life, using it with speedmod kernel to get the best performance.

Hi.
I have got my so rooted and unlocked and have wanted to put a custom ROM on.
But every single one says just support for 2.254 firmware not my 2.245 firmware.
Will it still work or would it brick

It not safe to cross flash it will probably bootloop..i would suggest u to flash 2.254..and get it rooted and custom recovery installed.
Happy flashing
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
Is that possible as 2.245 is my only available software to update too
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
2.245
Dear Freind
Roms like pureness 1 and Honamiutreized are strictly firmware specific that is why, i think those developers specifically state do not flash this over other firmware variants that will cause problems and this is because those developers have heavily modded the latest firmware to add more tweaks to give advanced user experience hence that ROM may not be compatible on older firmwares.
But probably you can find Custom Roms (Like Cleaned and Tweaked Rom, JBXSP Rom, Project AOSP Rom) based on 2.245, just go to respective threads and check, you will find that the most of the ROMs' version 2 or 3 should be based on 2.245 firmware.
Try and enjoy customs roms. :laugh:
No if you check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964 you can find many FTF for 2.254 which can be flashed using Flashtool and have latest firmware and flash latest ROMs based on 2.254 without any problem.

Hey buddy,
Don't cross flash .254 FW over .245 FW.
Just use flashtool to flash the .254 FW. It is easy, and there are many guides to do it. Once you know how to use flashtool, your phone also automatically becomes unbrickable as you know how to flash back the stock FW even if you somehow softbricked your phone.
Also, don't post questions in the development section. This is for ROMs and Kernels and stuff, there's no place for questions here. Go to the Q&A section instead next time.
Happy flashing (ROMs and kernels, not anything else )

My phone is originally in pre-rooted 10.5.1.A.0.283.
Today I flashed C550X_10.5.1.A.0.292_KernelOnly.ftf from the following link directly using latest version of flashtool.
Now working great. Root is still here. I think it's a little smoother as I experienced little lag in 283.

I'm using this recovery. It has been too long I can't recall how I install it..

Btw I installed a power menu plugin in Xposed so I can use power menu to get into recovery. Pretty useful.

Same here. Battery is better in 292 too.
i tried flashing 292 kernel using flashtool but its not getting flashed
I am still on old 283 kernel
any suggestions?
Edit: was able to do it after reinstalling drivers for ZR. Battery drain is very low
But I did not get LTE option
Can anyone re-upload (attach) the file again as the link was removed by a Mod, wanna try the .292 kernel on my ZR
i gotta be honest, using .292 kernel has more battery drain than using .283 kernel. been using it for a week now.
the only advantage on using .292 kernel over .283 is that .292 offers slightly minimal lag than .283 but worst battery than .283 kernel

There's nothing wrong with the .292 kernel. Actually when using .292, the default governer change to ondemand. If u have root acess, change it back to interactive, then ur battery life became normal again.

I tried flashing 292 using OTA but the phone just went to the custom recovery and didn't install anything.
Seems like OTA update does not work for rooted devices.
