[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.

Well that's the point of this thread, not having to try them all. Any issues with the one you use?

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 Is that true or are those outdated news?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).

LOST in a sea of roms

Hi there.
I been spending several hours reading user's opinions about several roms for the xsp.
I saw plenty of unofficial roms based on cyanogenmod official roms. And the question that pops into my mind it's.
Why so many mods? People doesn't like the official releases?
Also I been reading that 5.1 roms are laggy, and in a custom rom i'm looking for stability and performance.
Maybe I should go for and official cyanogenmod 11 rom?
Maybe for a stock based rom?
What do you think?

Hello.
Yes, there is a lot of rom for SP. But just a few work as it supposed to.
Lollipop it is in his nightly stage, though is very stable and the most recent apps, you will be able to use.
There is too a recent patch for security, we should take in consideration, Im using myself as a daily driver without problems, nevertheless still have some minor bugs, but nothing that cant make you wish to throw your SP on wall
If you want to test and see how looks like, I would recommend Sabermod Unofficial Or CM 12.1 Official Nightly

cm12.1+ addons imo cuz it's my second full month on it and it never failed me ....no problems for me and great performance

battery is good too yep

Go for CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies with addons...Its Best for lollipop based ROMs.
You can try unofficial CM13 also if you can use the phone without camera. Battery life and performance of CM13 is far better than cm 12.1.

To be honest, is a matter of usage and preference. For me it was working fine but my phone got way too hot for my taste, but the deal breaker was that no matter what lolipop ROM I used facebook HD playback was choppy as hell. I know that it sounds silly but that's something that I need. None of these issues exist on stock, of course (C5306 - 1.205)

I think the Sabermod unofficial takes the lead on cm12.1 ... Great battery and butter smooth. I think it' s the for performance and battery !

I use official CM11 slimmed by me, without gapps, disabled LogCat, little modified build.prop + WilliamsPLUS and I'm really happy ; p

which 5.1 rom has fewer lag and more batterylife?

@beodo
A sea of roms but many of them are discontinued or not updated, so first check that one.
As fellow members said CyanogenMod 12.1 Unofficial SaberMod with add ons is the best right now for me as well, very fast, really fluid,stable and good battery life, in is some parts is even better than the latest official stock rom.
I m using this rom for over a month and i love it.
If you need even better battery life you could use Helium kernel (just dirty flash at recovery) and enable conservative governor, if you would like to take it further you can also install xposed framework which unlocks you much more features like power saving better experience, extra customization and more.
All of the above are continuously updated and supported by our great developers too :good:

Best rom for 3T?

Wjat is best rom for Oneplus 3T and why? But I want rom where xposed is working.

No ROM is 'the best'
You have numerous options to test and see for yourself which one suits your needs the best. You can go either for stock (based) or AOSP ROMs, it's all about what you are looking for. Also no choice is bad here - all ROMs for 3T are of really outstanding quality and not a single one will let you down. Just play around for a couple of days, try out different ways to go and pick your favorite.
If it's about me - latest stock rooted with Magisk is just enough. Oxygen OS is supremely optimized and the system is almost pure Android but with all the essential flavors AOSP lacks.

Fully agree with the previous comment. If there was a "best" ROM for everyone, we would all be using it, and there wouldn't be a need for any ROM except that one. What features are important in a ROM, is going to vary from person to person. The performance and stability (often a question "which ROM has the best performance?") is also going to vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use the phone, apply further tweaks, etc.
Your best bet is to browse through the ROMs, select a couple or few that look like they meet your preferences, and flash them, and try for yourself (be sure to make a TWRP backup of your current setup before flashing any ROMs, so you can easily revert); and see what works best for you.

No i don't have, bought this phone on this week's monday. Immediately rooted and flashed twrp, Now I have Resurrection Remix, but it's little bit buggy and not filling my expectations. (Sry for bad english)

I'm looking for a really good ROM, too.
Stability, everything should work fine. Don't want to clean flash every few months.
I don't need to customize every colour of every object. Need a perfect ROM for using it every day.
Any recommendations?

best rom official rr or the one from varun himself (g+)

no rom is the best.
you have to try some of them and choose one !
i tried at least more than 10 roms + defualt kernels and custom kernels.
and compare them together and flashed best based on my usage ! ( your usage may vary and of course other roms is best for you )
but :
if your main concern is not heavy camera usage and want stability + battery + xposed , i suggest you Sultanxda CM13 rom.(which i am using now.)

But he is not the official maintainer for oneplus3/3t even if he is the maintainer of the rom itself and the most important developer of resurrection remix . by the way the kernel included in his build is very advanced. try it befor flashing any custom kernels.

To add to this, is there currently any that provide wi-fi calling feature?

Which ROM for most settings and customizability?

Which ROM should I install if I want the most amount of settings and ways to customize things?
Some additional thoughts...
Does one even need a custom ROM these days, or can most things be changed using "Xposed installer"?
Are there any drawbacks using a custom ROM?

1. RR is a good choice IMO.
2. More features to play with. Themes. More updates.
3. Xposed doesn't exist on Nougat.
4. Nope except not be able to use full stock features. Stability? It depends on the ROMs and the maturity of the Android version.

Oxygen OS apps (but you can get a port version for Camera and Gallery)
Dark UI (but you can flash a ROM supporting Substratum)
...
I don't remember OOS well and since I have a preference for custom ROMs over stock firmware I can't give you many reasons to stay on OOS. If you want to have the latest Android version, some day you will have flash a custom ROM.

I've spent ten minutes trying to figure out which one is the official (or best) version of Resurrection Remix. Can you point me in the right way?
The one in your signature says it has a pirate-icon if you install pirate stuff. And while I may not do that, I still don't like the idea of that.
So which RR would you recommend?

Both versions have this anti piracy measure I think.
I recommend the unofficial builds since I'm using them ?
It has extra features such as delta updates, signature spoofing support,... and the dev is always available to help and answer our questions.

You could have just flashed the ROM days ago, and have decided yourself; instead of waiting for others to dictate what you will or will not like. And just because someone recommends it, doesn't mean you will even like it.

Agreed.

Agreed nicesoni ash has the best build in my opinion and the dev is great and very supportive of the rom and it's users. And there are lots of unofficial builds for nicesonis rom but you only need to install the latest one.

Which Rom is used the most?

Ok so I'm trying to find a daily driver. I've done a lot of flashing. I have used dirty unicorns, linage, rr, aokp. I just can't figure out what I want to run so I want to see what everyone else is running. This isn't a hich room is best thread. Just tell us what your running and why that rom.

RR is a customized LineageOS with lots of extra options. The launcher however, you decide over no matter what ROM your running. I'm also using Nova on stock LOS.

Lineage OS from sultanxda. Stable, best battery life, best camera, no bloat, not so many unnecessary options

Looks like resurrection remix the best rom. I am using always resurrection remix on all my phones, SGS 2, LG nexus 5x, Lenovo A6000, nexus 10, SGS 7 and now one plus 3t

Ya when I was running it I had some force closes and some lag. But I'm not looking for the "best" ROM BC that's going to differ for everyone I'm just seeing what ppl are running.
I decided to flash sultans linage. I'll give up the customization for stability.

Yes, it is. Call it what you want: most popular, favorite, best ROM. It's still all just the same question. Everyone has massively different preferences and needs, and your experience will vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your phone. Asking strangers to make a decision for your is not only useless, it is also bizarre. You clearly already have the knowledge/ability to try various ROMs (as you stated you did). So leaving the decision to something as arbitrary as a stranger's whim (or a ROM's popularity) is just strange.
I'd also caution against using a ROM, just because it's widely used and "most popular". Plenty of times in the past, the ROM that worked best for me, was one that was less popular, and more obscure. You do yourself an injustice by ignoring these "hidden gems".

For the first time after using a smartphone, i decided to settle with Stock ROM. For me, it gives the best UI and a lot of useful options. I don't even need to tell that the Stock camera is far better than any other apps used in other Custom ROMs. Battery is really amazing too considering my way to use the cellphone( Facebook app, the great battery villain is full time here in use).

Thanks everyone.

ROM Lover
I love trying out new ROM's.
Fot OP3T i have tried Oxygen official, Oxygen Beta, Lineage & Ressuruction.
To me Oxygen beta since May has become really good, improved battery a lot.

Stock is always better

What about paranoid android?

Dear Sir,
If quick update is the requirement, the Lineage is the best and I have to say unofficial sultan 14.1 is the same as he is also quick but If you are installing sultan 14.1 for only battery back up then I think you should have a look with custom kernel such as franco and elemenatlx which are great in battery back up.
But for me and also with some other friends, stock oxygen is the best as camera is the main priority for me. For other features magisk is readily available.
Thanks to all developers for the support time to time.
