I noticed that depending on which thread you get your engeneering bootloader, the phone is either really stable or extremely unstable. The first time I rooted It was stable, second time not so much, 100th time(lol) it's really stable and I was even able to add xposed without issues(the first time and the most recent are both the best root experiences I've had on this phone

I am a long term user of the O2x and found the CM7 Kangs to be the smoothest experience. Unfortunately there are still unexpected shutdowns (rare to be franc but annoying).
Now that my company provided me access to corporate email on Android, I would like to use the O2x as main business phone.
What would be your advice for a SOLID STABLE ROM (no reboots or BSODs accepted) even with a not so brilliant speed but still offering root access and some enhancments?
For the time being I'm on GR6, no reboots or BSODs for the last 2 days... too early to say it is perfectly stable.
Thank you for your help!
there are 3 main category of roms, cyanogen roms, stock lg roms, miui.
the problem with miui was that i used it 3-4 weeks everyday, installed some apps and i used it browsing and for multimedia, and it becomes slower and slower day-byday. (like power button pressed, after 3 weeks i had to wait for 3-4sec to wake up)
stock lg roms i think a little buggy, or just simply slow i don't know.
cyanogenmod roms what i use just because it's very-very simple, and highly customizable to do things faster. i use it over 2 months since 7.1 released(but recommended use nightly over 203, i think)
i installed some apps and games and it is not slow.
give it a try. i hope it helps you
(and sorry for my bad english)
I use Cyanogen with Vodonka kernel, in underclock it to 800mhz (who NEEDS more to be honest?) and i never have any issues.
Business mail? i presume you're using Exchange.
It works for me, flawless, every time, every day
I'm brand new to rooting, but the other day I followed the guide on how to get CM9 on to the Sprint P100. I installed the stable release and it would crash every hour or so, sometimes way more often within just a couple minutes of each crash, which would cause the tablet to reboot. At other times, apps would FC and they'd keep FC'ing till I rebooted.
Since I'm new to CM9/rooting, I'm just wondering if this is normal, even with stable releases. It's such a broad question that I couldn't really find an answer to it anywhere on here. All I read are that stable releases have all the bugs worked out and they're.. well.. stable. I tried CM10 nightly but that was 10x worse.
Hallo,
I am sorry, to post it here, but I cannot post in the related forums below 10 posts.
So I had 4.1.5 and it was great. I flashed 4.2.3 now and it was great until after pretty much one day, when it becomes slow, had the same issues with 4.2.2 (becomes slow after a day until reboot or downgrade to 4.1.5) where I downgraded again, but it is not possible anymore without resetting the launcher3 due to some changes.
It will crash repeatedly.
Any help?
Kind regards

I've been using CM based Mackay ROM for a long time now, updating to every new version as they have been released, and have not experienced anything like what you are describing.
Also, you should have really posted in the Mackay ROM thread...

@neox456! I am not sure I understand your problem fully. I have been using the same ROM since it came out for Kit Kat but never had a problem such as yours.
Could it be the no. of apps you have in your phone ? Or maybe because you aren't using low mem option (which was a feature of Kit Kat)?
It'd be good if you could explain your issues a bit briefly.

Did you install CM10.2 (stable) or CM11 before Mackay 4.2.3? This increases your partition giving you better performance and is recommended for KK roms. Try again with 3 wipes plus Format System first, then the CM11, 3 wipes and format again then the Mackay Rom. If you get into trouble, go back to GB 2.3.6 with ODIN like you did when you first rooted your phone and back up from there. Hope it works for you.
The difference was between 4.1.5 and 4.2.2/3. But I played around a little and the main difference was, that KSM was on with the later ones and not with 4.1.5 so I am pretty sure that slowed my device down after a while.
I'll try 4.2.3 without KSM now and see if it won't slow down.
I cannot answer on the official Mackay-Thread until I reached 10 posts!
neither can I yet...
Naaah, it did not really help...
But I guess it is the KitKat slow downs... it is not as horrible as 4.3, but still far from well usable.

Very strange.. I went all the way back to GB 2.3.6 then CM 10.2 (or 11) then SlimKat and it works really well with no FC or lags. (well maybe say max 2 second delay opening Whatsapp but I can live with that. Plus they all seem to have a 1 or 2 second delay when a call comes in for the screen to register.
Well... I am not sure... Maybe it is too many apps. At least they are not constanlty crashing like in JB4.3.
What about waking up the phone for you? Do you have a 2 seconds delay there, too? Well I sometimes have a more like 10-15 seconds delay. I press the power button and nothing happens and after a while you notice the phone is ready, because the LEDs are glowing and funnily you can already unlock it, although the screen does not show anything yet...
Well and sometimes it is only a few seconds...
I have always used CM or Mackay-CM... not sure, whether the other ROM will make such a big difference...
I had lags with CM in ICS so I went to Liquid smooth by aways .

I like that one, no problems opening apps or answering phone call. Pkus he uses semaphore and the Nova Launcher which has a nice look and feel. Pluis customisable.
Then after to SlimKat, (after increasing partition using the CM11) which works pretty good. I will flash the mackay rom or the omni this weekend to see how it behaves in comparison.
I am down to CM9 (still Mackay) now and happy with it. :angel:
Some features got lost, but I am happy, because in general it is way more useable.
Hi there,
I've bought this phone some months ago, first smart phone ever.
At the time I didn't pay much attention to all the rooting, rom, apps options, mostly because I had no idea what all this was about.
Now I'm getting curious, if only because the performance of my phone aren't exactly fast. If I keep the wi-fi off, battery has a decent duration, but I wouldn't call this phone extremely responsive or a phone with a smooth experience. I've replaced the launcher with something lighter, removed wallpaper, sounds, tried the kill task application (and learned that probably isn't a good idea after all, in fact I uninstalled it).
So, long story short, I started looking for a more robust way to take control of my phone and I've got here.
I understand I need to get root administration privileges in order to have more control on what I can or can't automatically run.
But at this point I'm also getting interested about rom, updating the UI which some more elegant, minimalist theme (I don't like Andoird 4.2.2 UI).
After some research on line it seems to me that with the gt-i8200n I can't run any rom. Yes, I can root it, probably at that point optimize it, but it seems I've to forget about customization or new android system releases.
Is that true?
Thanks for any clarification.
Best,
Andrew
Alright, I keep doing my homework. So, if I still want to customize my gt-i8200n without using any ROM, I think I can do it using Xposed.
I'm reading about Xposed right now, but it seems promising.
Anyone? I though the gt-i8200n had some users after all..
Wow, two days no help.
I get that people is busy, but it just seems to me no one is going to help.
bummer
it's becouse it's a not common version of the s3 mini, my cousing haves one, the only thing you can do to speed up a little bit the 8200 it's using Greenify to hibernate apps, cuz it's kinda ****ed up that there's no roms for that version.
xposed is awesome mate. Iv had androids for a while now and the first thing I used to do was find a rom, but for my last phone and my current z3, I rooted and xposed it and Im more than happy.
Sorry, cant help with a rom for you gt-i8200n though :/
Since I've been growing more and more tired of my Moto X over the past months, I decided to go ahead and try some custom ROMs in the hope of retrieving even a part of its former snappiness cause now, most of the time, it's literally unbearable to use the device because of how sluggish it had become (and I've tried every trick in the book to fight this off - clearing cache partition regularly, doing wipe and restore, freeing up storage). What I'd like from the custom ROM, then, is just for the phone to be as fast as it still can be and it would be great if the ROM was also a reliable one cause there's no much use in speed if the phone freezes for good or restarts thrice a day. Some help in regards to the battery life would be a nice touch too, but I know I can't transform my phone into a new flagship through firmware alone so that's not a must
What would you recommend? I heard good things about LineageOS - is it the best choice or is there something better that ticks all the boxes?
I've been using RR and it's very good. Yesterday I've flashed mokee oreo 8.1 and it's all ok too, but nfc and HDR doesn't work.
But I've never had the phone to work bad like you say.
Try mokee, battery life Is better, and it's fast.
Try RR, lots of customization and it's fast too.
RR: resurrection remix. Android 7.1
Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.
RR final version is the best go to for me.
No bugs at all and lightning fast.
You ll not regret it.
