What do you think that is the best rom now ? I 'm doubting and do not know which to install
You will get as many opinions as there are xda users.
Personally I like SlimLP. My #2 would be CM12.1. Bonus, the devs are great for both.
What's the best ice cream, what's the best beer, what's the best city, what's the best tv show?
Doubt many have tried the latest versions of all three options and even if they have, their needs and wants from it may well be different to yours.
Only you can see which is the best rom for you, try them, it's not like you have to pay for them.

I Agree with "pond-life" in that is is all a personal preference thing. I own 3 of theses tablets and have tried all 3 roms but am running RR on them now because I do not like layers and RR has more custom options than CM. Again , all three ROMs are rock solid ROMs and it is just a matter of what your likes and personal preferences are.

I can't tell you which rom is best, you'll receive lots of differing opinions on the same thing. Only way is to try yourself and find the one that fits you best as that's what these forums are about.

@sd_shadow What rom do you use? I cant try all the roms because the tablet is a present for my brother and he isnt a expert in this. He use stock android in his phone and he wants the same experience

I 'm using cm12.1 right now, but had similar experience with slimlp, with how i use it
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
White, Rose or red wine? Hmmm...
All ROMs a different, just try them, otherwise you will never know...
I will add, for a non-tech person, makes no difference. I have two tables, mine with SlimLP and the Mrs' with CM12.1.
The Mrs uses both with no difference whatsoever since her apps are on the main screen on both and she could careless about all the customization and tech details

I am looking for an answer to this question: I am a Nexus user almost since Nexus appeared. I am not used to any other UI so I wanted to ask whether it is possible to purchase an HTC One and flash a Nexus Rom on it. Thanks
Not yet but there will probably be soon

This should be in Q&A
hi,
ive just changed from the n4. Currently there isn't a stock android rom out there. I can tell you though that the phone is beautiful and fast and new sense ui is really nice. Usually i hate oem's skins on top of stock android, generally because they look awful and feel awful (touchwiz). But sense 5 is very nice. Also I have no doubt that there will be stock android roms in the furture.
Thank you for your answers. I go out and get one then. Waiting for the Nexus 5 only to find out that it will be as big as a note, scares me.
Wrong section btw
Need to settle on one. What is everyone using and why?
Please be specific which ROM, firmware, kernel, TWRP version you are using.
This thread will be gone in 5...4...3...2...1...
Very simple. Download, flash and find out for yourself which is the "best" ROM for you.
This thread will be closed soon. They did the same thing to me. Cuz I had the same title as u. Lol

I'm using the trial and error ROM. Works great. Comes with sarcasm kernel baked in.

I really like PAC-rom because it has features from CM/AOKP/ParanoidAndroid that I love, and I really like stock Android. I'm conflicted, however, because I miss TouchWiz stuff. In particular, I miss the camera.
I like the Google Edition ROM, but at the moment it lacks a fully functional Samsung Camera. Otherwise, I love stock Android, but it doesn't have enough features for me to prefer it over a AOSP ROM. However, apparently at least some AOSP ROMs are buggy as far as call audio or MMS goes (but I have yet to get an issue during a phone call).
I was using Triforce before these, but I dislike TouchWiz's user interface. The stock Android theme kind of helps, but it doesn't fix many of the graphic design problems.
At the moment I really like PAC-rom (the true multitasking is super useful for me), but I want my camera back, so I am considering switching back to a TouchWiz ROM. That said, I think stock camera works pretty well, but I can't get slow motion video or of course options such as action mode, best face, beauty face, etc. that were all pretty useful. I could just use Photoshop for most of that stuff, but it's nice when I can just take the photo and be done with it.
IBTL...Flash, Flash and Flash again. Let us know what you like! :beer:
go with a touch wiz rom..

I'm looking but I can't seem to find any working big name roms like Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Paranoid Andoid, or Slimbean ROMs for the AT&T s5.
Am I missing them or are they truly unavailable?
Have you been in a cave...LOL...Just Kidding. Welcome to the new At&t Samsung way. LOCKED BOOTLOADER
FOREVER.
Unless we some how get a Loki workaround, we will never have custom kernels.
Big Name ROM? Lets give credit to the devs we do have - giving their time for our device and only TouchWiz.
Damn...I just found out about towelroot and I was so excited about finally being able to wipe my phone clean with a cool big new rom. No offence to the little devs, but it's just not the same, ya know?

Give visix a try...May not be a big name as you put it, but the devs are very active, already on version 3.0. Very smooth, good battery life, I personally like it very much.

I'm thankful for the devs who are giving their time, but I look for roms with the features I want and need, not by who the developer is. Let's help these guys become "big devs" by supporting their work.
My point is, all of the ROMs available look and function pretty much exactly like stock except they have bugs. Big name ROMs have tons of features and few bugs as well as completely changing up the stock experience. It's a shame, but I'm just going to go back to stock because all of the ROMs out now are (to me) no different than stock and filled with bugs.

Not true, Vision is stock all the way, I just changed the stock look a little, everything works PERFECT. I agree, you start modding the phone with a bunch of non-needed mods that btw, xposed can handle, it tends to have issues. This exactly why I built Vision, for this purpose.
Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.:good:

I don't understand how one can say CM or any AOSP or AOKP Rom are bug free if that was the case then why nightlies? I've flashed MANY AOSP Roms on my S2 S3 and S 4 and never found one "bug free". Now development is just beginning for the AT&T S5 and whether there's a loki exploit or something like it remains to be seen, however, there will be and already are themers and modders working to give us choices.
I prefer T/W for the stability and and really "bug free" experience. Hence no need for nightlies.

I'm curious, what exactly is a "Big Name" ROM? I have been Devin for a long time AOSP, AOKP, CM, SENSE, and currently TouchWiz (which by the way is actually very stable model or not). There isn't even a stock oob firmware without bugs if there was there would be no updates or patches from oem.
I appreciate your wanting a highly themed ROM however, during early stages most devs look to take care of opening things up and enabling what was removed or disabled. Personally I leave the heavy modding and style changes to the themers.

Can someone explain the specific differences between the various ROMS for LBL please. I'm looking at Paranoid, CM11, neXus CM and Slimkat, and am interested in the differences between them. I don't want to know which is "best".. I understand that a rom is like tea or coffee.. A matter of personal preference; I'm more interested in the specifics.
Cheers!
Please try them out as different users have different opinions

I have used SlimKAT and Paranoid Nexus. The main differences I felt were that Slim had some Slim related features like it had CRT screen off effect, options to use pie controls (even not in immersive mode). Its pie controls were very nice. And Paranoid had its own charms for example it has Android 4.4.4 while SlimKAT has 4.2.2. Also that Slim had some shake controls - pretty nice they were.

Also that Paranoid has pretty responsive pie controls though they only appear in immsersive mode. Paranoid has active development community. It has OTA. It's being built and updated on daily basis.
And is ota working for XSP?

I think its a valid and different question than most people ask here.
All these ROMs have slightly different FRAMEWORKS. Thats it. No other magic. Just that.
MIUI, Chameloen, Touchwiz, Sense, LG, they all have different, very unique frameworks. But these ROMs generally have 20-30% differences in framework and rest is google based.
If u need further detailed info, PM me.
Maybe a couple of different apps, but all apps pretty much run on all these. Unless a specific closed source app.
Hi, I spent some time away from the site and the news, but now I want to flash my i9305 but I don't know which one is fastest, stable and with no bugs. At this moment I use official from samsung JB 4.3 and I want to go to 4.4
Thanks

It is not allowed to ask questions such as "Which is the best... mplah mplah mplah" according to the XDA rules. So you have to search and flash all ROMs and then decide which one suits you the best!

You should understand that it is often impossible to answer such questions, which are actually often very wrong, because they suppose everyone uses same method and values to decide what's the 'best'.
But in other side it should be allowed to discuss such questions because there are sometimes big difference in quality, and reliability, bugs etc between ROMs.
In general if you are ok with TW, you'll be fine if you check threads with active ROMs, look at how many views they have, and how long they are around and that should give you some important hints/suggestions.
If you prefer AOSP, the situation is not so great. CM was having issues with camera. It is usable, but it crashes sometimes, video is not as good as with Sammy based ROMs, which have all necessary drivers, firmware etc. But if camera and recording are not so important, you can get basic functionality to make photos and take videos, while having smoother graphical experience, more snapy and 'faster' ROM, with cleaner (IMO better.) user interface.
I like Omni better than CM at the moment. Camera seems more stable (though not totally sure, since I haven't check CM for a while.) and standby time is unbelievable. I just get around two and a half hours on screen time, with 4 DAYS of screen time (sometimes, not always airplane mode on.).

I didn't intend to be funny. Read for example this topic:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/help/best-battery-friendly-rom-galaxy-s-iii-t2807398. It was closed by a moderator and guess why.
