[Q] Which ROM choose? - Motorola Droid 4

What it is the most stable and for daily use rom?
Preferably with long battery life
CM11 preferably

I've tried many Droid 4 ROMS (LiquidSmooth, CM10, D4HD, SlimKAT, Resurrections...) but Carbon is absolutely the most (well, almost) stable ROM
Best thing about Carbon ROM is that it offers Permission Management function, which is extinct in other ROMs since CM 7.2

Check it out. I don't think you can find Carbon ROM anywhere else. Other links are either inactive or dead.
I attached some photos just in case you are interested

Hi I installed the rom on my droid 4 in rom slo1. It's starts booting but I only see the carbon bot screen and nothing happens after 5min...What did I wrong?

Make sure you do the wipe data/ factory reset.
P/S: Last time I flashed Carbon ROM, I needed to install gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed) as well. Without gapps, my rom could not work properly (I still don't know why?). Maybe you want to give it a go?

Hi I try both. I do a factory reset and also installed the gapps...same problem. I'm Using SafeTrap 3.75...can this be a problem?

Maybe. I'm not too sure . I'm running Safestrap 3.73.

So any idea, what I can do to solve the problem?

The brick bug is there with every ROM that has Stock ICS Kernel.Kernels that have MMC_ECAP_ERASE command removed are safe but for some reason MIUI doesn't support these kernels :silly:
CM9 MIUI.Read the OP.Follow the instructions.

Though it seems you asked for an opinion on which one to use and it does appears that you did your homework and read up on both the main miui roms available at the moment, imo to say that there are to many complaints regarding them is a little unfair as there isn't a rom forum on here that doesn't in some shape or form have an compliant on whats not working or could be improved that's human nature.
As I really can not comment on the VengeanceNote Edition MIUI 2.8.3- v2.4 + Test builds version due the the fact that I'm not a big fan of cm9 but the rom developer (Gerrett) works very hard on improving it for being a test build (as the title suggest) so yes bugs are to be expected as in any rom. I personally do use the TMT-ver 2 and when properly flashed as per instructions it performs very well. Yes it does have a suspected kernel but being a long time miui user I flash mine from a relatively safe kernel , wipe cache,dalvik, format the system, factory reset then flash the rom and reboot, along with formatting my internal sd card and installing from scratch though it takes me a bit (1 hour or so) and everything works fine and it saves me a few headaches along the way, there are the standard things that miui themselves need to fix like the fc's in the About phone Status and in the Mobile Networks when you want to select Network Operators (these have been known issues since my S2 days) and few people have an issues with the theme manager but for me it does what I want it to. I get decent battery life being a semi-light user never less then a day and a half to 2. But it does vary on what I'm doing..
In the end to ask an opinion for what to use you'll get a variety of each individual who answers your post but what might work well for them may not apply to you and your phone so try what you like if it doesn't suit you then move on to another..

[Q] ROM with NO random reboots? Stable?

Hi,
Can someone please recommend a stable ROM for the I8190N? It needs to be light, customisable, stable and preferably 4.2.2 or above....
I would really appreciate it if replies address the following:
Please only suggest a ROM if you have had random reboots on another ROM, then flashed a ROM and the random reboots stop....
Already flashed and have had issues with:
CyanogenMod 11.0 (maclaw and AOKP)
CyanogenMod 10.2 (maclaw and OliverG)
Light by somin
Chameleon OS 0.8
Anything "golden"
A deodexed stock ROM and custom kernel would be fine.....
Thanks!!

I meant to say in my OP that Dmodv6 was excellent - started flashing others because I'm a serial flasher (have four android devices) and wanted a newer android version.... if you kitkat Dmod, I'll consider you a living god!!
I've got stock AMJ2 from sammobile and plan to deodex, root and de-bloat.
The stock rooted XXAMJ3 - isn't for the 8190N - would I expect issues if i flashed it? Ignore me, i know it would NOT be a good idea!
Thanks!!
stock rom is the best.

try one of these, they are fast, stable, debloated and smooth Virginity V2 or somin.n ROM
if you flash somin ROM, search baseband xxam... and kernel xxam... on the forum and flash it.
Maclaw's cm10.2 no longer suffers from random reboots and is completely stable (in my experience anyway).

Well, that depends on which governor you used and how many apps which sync every minute you had.
Luckily on custom roms you can change the governor.
You can change the behaviour or disable background processes as well. (I recommend the application ''Greenify'' for that).
If I didn't convince you now I'm afraid I have to tell you that there are no stable custom roms except stock based..

[Q] So many ROMs. Which one?

Hi guys! I currentl have an abandoned Carbon 4.4 ROM and I have problems with apps (can't install some apps, can't move to sd card etc), so I want to change it to something else. I see there are many kitkat ROMs out there, I just want the most stable one that has no general issues, because I see some have problems with camera, others with sound etc. Is there a Kitkat ROM for my S Advance out there that is as complete and stable as possible?
Try them and see what is good for you. For me is good Paranoid or AOSP from J-Team.

Nope, but make sure you make a clean install. Here is AOSPA from t4n017: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14991&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
And Here is AOSPA from Chirag_Galani: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593631.
Here is AOSP project. (This rom doesn't have any features, is pure stock fast android): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581768
And the gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857
Choose Minimal Gapps.
Liquid Smooth is also a feature filled rom and fast.

Thanks, but as I run through comments I see many have camera problems, or wifi problems and stuff like that. Is that true or are those outdated news?
I think they didn't install clean or modified something in rom or in phone. I don't have any problems and the phone is 2 year old. Try the rom and see if u have a problem.
Ok I tried the Paranoid Android ROM and so far I love it! Hope I find no problems as I use it more these days.

Try all roms available,then choose by yourself what rom you like more or what rom meet your requirements.Roms based on android higher than 4.1.2 have camcorder bug,it is darker.If that is important for you,you should flash stock rom + debloat + cocore kernel or install Harshjelly / Sami OS + cocore kernel.(after my opinion,i recommend you sami os).

A Good KitKat (4.4) Rom for XSP ???

I've been using CM12 Sabermod for a few months now but lately my phone has started to lag a lot, I've experience the same problems with other Lollipop based ROMs too. I never had this problem in 4.3 but I had to move to 5.1 since some apps that I use daily required KitKat or higher.
So my question is - is there any good KitKat ROM for XSP? If yes, how can I get the best performance for multitasking?
Before change to KK, I should ask: Do you already flash the most recent build?
Another is: Have yout try move apps to SD card?
Another one: Try to clean Cache on the Settings -> Storage (and then Reboot)?
And Clean cache of some apps too manually.
Remembering that to flash a the most recent build, you doesnt need to Backup, BUT... Just for convenience do it.
If none of those above options function well for you, indeed there is a stable and fast KK to our lovely (and hated) SP.
Options I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64991746&postcount=1320
Or
Last release from CM Team
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot
Both are great in performance and multitask like the JB 4.3 Stock.
Is there a good one which has Stock features? As in it has the basic Sony apps. They were quite nifty.

Another good one was http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...anogenmod-11-locked-bootloader-users-t2868398 before I unlocked bootloader.
I havent tried CM13 but cm12.1 never worked out for me properly, either low amount of ram/no deep sleep or other problems such as wifi.
Ok I'll try them out. But I'm looking for something based on the Xperia stock OS.

Hi, a clean wipe should be enough. I did factory reset / wipe data, format system, cache and data, wipe dalvik, then install in that order:
OmniX-Rom, recommended gapps, SU-update. Please confirm to fix super user when asked, then reboot into system. First boot will take some minutes (less than 5).
Which recovery do you recommend I flash for this?

I would try that rom if the led bar was working exactly as it does in the stock firmwares (you know, receiving phone calls, viewing images, making a call etc.). There isn't a way to duplicate that functionality level since it's cyanogenmod-based, right?

AOSP Roms

Hello! I want to switch from Sony Lollipop 5.1.1 to a stable AOSP based rom. I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 and AOSP Jaguar but I experienced screen freezes and general lag that makes me to go back to stock rom. It is a problem with my device or it is a problem with AOSP roms? What can I do in case that my device has this problem?
hi i tried all cm based roms and oasp roms and i can confirm you that all of them have screen freezes. There aren't any solutions expect to switch to stock based roms.
