Hello,
Just wanted some advise from you experts ,Is it worth flashing a custom rom on Nexus 6 right now considering lolipop has just been released and in its early stages
Thank you in advance
The Nexus 6 is a AOSP supported phone can be compiled via AOSP quite easily. No dirty hacks are needed, so custom ROMs and kernels will be stable out of the box.
Is it worth flashing? Its up to you. Its free, if you don't like it, you can always try another custom ROM or go back to stock.

I'm no expert but fairly experienced flasher. The answer is a resounding YES! Custom roms & kernels have already led to better battery life, faster performance, and elimination of most the blindingly white backgrounds in ui and gapps. And as new Android revisions are released, the devs are quick to incorporate them into their roms. For me, they are the main reason to own a Nexus 6.
thanx your post is tempting me to flash asap ... any suggestion for a stable ROM

All of them are stable as nexus is a aosp supported device. It all depends what you're looking for. Try them out.

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
Hey guys
I am on xxugna8 and I am not sure if my phone can get any better. I came from i9000 on cm10.2 and now I am super happy with my new stock s3. How is your experience with the latest cm11 or cm10.2? Is it worth to flash? What would you recommend?
Thanks very much for your opinions.

Well, cm 10 has a stable on the s3. But you are probably right. Don't change a winning team, I guess…

i don't have an s3...i have an s3 4g....
Well it sounds like you're curious about cm. Why not give it a go?
I was the same, happy with my stock until I was slightly unhappy with it (about 6 months on....) then I started tweaking and now I'm on CM.
In my experience with my s3 which i've had just over a year and half, playing around with different roms . I prefer stock rom for its stability. CM or other modded custom roms may be faster, provide few extra features here and there, but there always seems to be tiny bugs here and there. Mostly problems with the camera. And for my own usage i think Stock Sammy rom is more than enough, and if you need extra features use xposed modules and most of the things you need will be there

Jerry, if that's the case, maybe look at stable or official releases...
They get updated possibly the same amount as stock roms if not more, and are stable.
That being said though, most people who don't stock want the latest version even if it's beta at times, which why some ROMs like CM have nightly, weekly, stable and official releases.
Hope that helps.

Firekat. Definitely Firekat.

But try a few yourself, and see which one works best for your needs.

this here.
But if you want my opinion it's stock rom.
Rapture rom for me
Stock, though not a rom, is the most stable.
Stability depends on the user phone as well as what the user does with it. Rapture works great on my phone but I have seen complaints of instability. Firekat also work great on my phone, as well as dynamic and all the ports. Yet, I have seen complaints of instability. Now the AOSP based roms are truly unstable because they are in the testing, beta phase considering they are not a native build for our Touchwiz based samsung device. Not every device is made the same so flash and see which loves your phone the best.
Hope that helps.
good news everybody Official AICP nightlies are here

Rapture ran the smoothest for me and would be my go to but I ran into signal issues for some reason. Firekat and infamous I run right now and haven't had any issues yet.
Fire Kat V8 for sure.
Be sure to follow instructions to enhance battery life too and you should be getting about 8 hours of screen time.

I see in the fire Kat OP It seems to be a little confusing as to how to install. Is there a base ROM that flashes before V8?
Mega recommends a clean flash.
Basically just wiping cache, Dalvick, and data in the team win recovery.
But you can flash firekat over anj or ank.
I finally flashed the whole ank update. Bootloader and all.
That's what I flashed firekat v8 on top of:
The additional tweaks in the op2 are tight, and increase battery life a lot, but installing firekat is just like installing any other rom.

AICP is based off of AOSP, all the custom roms that are not TouchWiz are AOSP based roms even CM. AICP (Android Ice Cold Project) is a custom rom with a lot of customization options they are not all added as of yet but they certainly are being added gradually.
Definitely stock

They are all stable for the people using them. Some minor bugs might be there, but might not be noticed by others. So by asking this you will get a list of all the popular ROMs. You need to make a backup, read the development threads to find one that has all the features YOU want and try it. If you find a bug, search that thread to see if a fix or workaraound was posted. You will find much more self satisfaction and knowledge in this path of discovery.
Dear All,
I'm just wondering what is the best stable updatable ROM for Sony Xperia Z1?. Also, if there is Stable Kernel with suggested ROM will be great.

There is a rom in the making which is exactly that. Even though it is still in beta right now, it is silky smooth. It might hit XDA sooner or later, so keep an eye out for it on the development sections.

Do you prefer stock based (better camera and stability)? AOSP (5.1) based (fast and responsive, average camera and fewer bugs than 6.0 ROMs)?

[Rom] Updated July 8 AOSP Jaguar LP 5.1.1 OFFICIAL-HYPERTOOL 5.X
Always updated, really stable, fast, secure and packed with features.
But you need an unlocked bootloader (if you have not unlocked yet please remember to backup your DRM keys).

Thanks buddy, I'll look into this ROM. Do you think that I need to look for custom Kernel to work with this ROM or no need.
I can suggest the combination from my signature. It is very stable. Another very stable and good ROM is DStrikerZ1.

Hey All, I'm new to Samsung Note 9 960f. I've been on Oneplus devices for thr last couple years with ease of root and ample kernel options. I've rooted my Note 9 with the stock OS. Now I'm looking for a decent kernel to go with the stock OS that can help with general tweaks. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Bump... Or in the Note 9 world people aren't really active on custom kernels?
Everyone has different preferences so there is no best...Take a look at the dev thread and try some custom stuff for yourself to see what works best for you.

I totally hear you, I was just asking for recommendations. I understand, in the kernel world there's no best. Just that I believe there's only one kernel listed & available in the exynos development thread Thanks!

How it fairs compared to stock?
Also on the topic, it's a bit sad how dead the development section of note 9 is. Lack of ROMs and total lack of kernels and a lot of time passed from release.

Definitely nice so far. I've felt a slight snappiness over stock (could be placebo). Also I was experiencing random reboots once / twice a day until this morning (on stock). This kernel has been stable so far, hoping to not experience those anymore. Btw, I haven't tweaked anything on the kernel yet except for anabling double tap to wake.
And I hear you, the development on this device is fairly dull. I guess users are happy with the phone as is, but rooting for me is a mandatory exercise. I've moved from a Oneplus 6 which was one of the most vibrant development communities.
Experience has been good decent far, but ofcourse with the usual set of gripes of adjusting on 8.1 from 9, etc.
Thanks!
Quick question. How do you know which kernel will work?
Running Team Exy Kings, current baseband N960FXXU2ZRL6.
Tried Beast and it boot-looped. Although, I did flash the zip in recovery. Do I need to use Odin?
Been a long time since I last played around with Samsung's.
