Hi,
Which of the custom ROM do you find better than stock ROM, based on your own experience. What I'm missing by using stock ROM ? you think

I guess the answer is, it depends like everything else. Custom ROMs come in a great variety, AOSP, AOKP, TW, hybrid ones like Paranoid. Just flash and try
Personally I like TW. I tried Criskelo and Kingdroid, also tried paranoid(non TW). I liked Kingdroid the best. It has the newer version of TW(as opposed to the stock ROM), somewhat better battery life, more fluid IMHO, better performance overall.
ROMs are more like, to each their own. Try it, you have nothing to lose. I tried a few over a weekend, and settled on one that I dont change often because of lack of time.
I agree..
I agree, too.
Just one more suggestion as this could help you determine faster if the rom does what you need/want:
Root your phone and use a backup software (titanium or backup root, for example), saves you time
If you do this already nevermind
But to answer your question directly: most of the roms focus on smothness and stability, others implement whole new features (in paranoid rom you can choose for every app if you want the tablet or phone version) or make it easier to tweak your system (liquidsmooth would be my example for this). Also, there are several JellyBean ROMs which only miss a few features so you are always up to date and don't have to wait for Samsung's infamous touchwiz-"magic" to be applied...
And it actually teaches you a thing or two about Android and the development for it (at least it did for me )
Hope I could help
I guess due to the bug that messed up the camera the ROM development never took of for the Z1. Although i'm really happy with stock, I want Kitkat for the transparans.
So is it worth rooting for? Looking thru some of the ROMs many of them seem to have a lot of bugs...
I'm after Kitkat as said, improved battery life would be nice also. What ROMs would you guys recommend? Kernels?
Thanks.
not sure realy
we may get the z2 4.4 ports
we may get cm10/11 along with aokp, aosp and maybe miui
kernel wise, i have no idea
also custom roms will allways have bugs, unless we have that perfect dev
CM10/11 usualy are bugfree (besides them small bugs)
and aosp is usualy dependant on the developer
Try some roms out before setteling
i personaly prefer stock, (with removed bloatware)
Dear all,
I am come from Sony mini phone to S3 mini. Flash roms on Sony mobile was quite easy with cwm.
Now on S3Mini I am a Newby. It would be interesting to have cm11 but main interest is a good battery life time. And in parallel Rom has to be stable.
Does battery life time will increase in case of custom Rom, compared with stock Rom?
And if yes - which Rom shall I chose?
Thanks for your advices
Regards Odiad

You flash roms on cwm for the s3 mini, so nothing else is different. You're going have to flash different roms and find one that works for you, battery-life is extremely subjective (i might get 24 hours and you might get 12 hours because you use it differently then I do).
Generally speaking threads like these are closed because what ROM i think is best, you might think is awful.
Here's a link to flash TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678274
Generally speaking older ROMs tend to be more stable and bugfree as they had more work done on them.
From what I know there's
CM10.1, CM10.2 CM11, OMNIROM, PACROM, AOKP, CARBON, VANIR, SLIMROM and plenty more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-mini/orig-development check out those ROMs, and see if they fit your needs.
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
OP there is no absolute "best" ROM - only the ROM that works best for you. Due to differences in how you use the device, what works best for other users may not work best for you and vice versa. My suggestion therefore is to try out some different ROM's and see which one you find the best for you.
Hello. I just bought my brand new Oneplus 3T. I came from the LG G4. I always used custom roms on my android phones. Unfortunately I have a job now and I don't have much time to play/test all these roms around here.
I'm not asking "the best rom" or "which is better" sort of things.
I just need an opinion for what should I begin with?
I would prefer some stock based rom.
As about the kernel I heard a lot about Franco's kernel but I saw that there is Boeffla kernel too.
Don't get me wrong, I just need something to start from because as I mentioned above I don't have much time to test and choose which is best for me.
Thank you!
I have tested many ROM's and I always come to the same conclusion. Stock is better. I recommend you to use stock OOS, root it and mod it as you wish. It's a powerful OS, without much bloatware (which can anyways be easily removed) and it offers a decent amount of customization. Of course, it's not as customizable as RR, but RR is also unstable and doesn't offer the same camera quality. In fact, most ROMs have a crappy camera. Except PA, apparently, which, of course, has other problems, like idle battery drain. You'll find something that won't make you happy in every rom you try. That was, at least, my experience. I have come to the conclusion that OOS does its job well.

This is exactly what I want. I don't want a LineageOS based rom or something like this.
I want a STOCK based rom.
But I don't know with which rom should I start because I saw that there are a few.
Hmm, I'd say freedomOS. It's a very stable ROM, "daily driver" material. It gives you the option to kinda debloat it when you flash the ROM
If you are looking for maximum battery with average use then go for RR with EX Kernel.
Yeah Freedom OS is kind to install because you don't have to do the usual stuff manually, but I've personnaly not noticed anything you can't get on stock OOS.
I'd advice to stay stock, and if later you still want to try some new things there will be plenty of mod material here
If you want something else...try Phoenix AEX ROM..
Really different experience...( EAS based )
Hi, when you are new with this phone I personally would recommend OxygenOpen Beta.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/coming-update-oos-based-7-1-t3564240
This Rom has everything you want, for me absolut stable and has all features you need for normal use. Worth to have a look.
I always had custom Roms on my earlier phones, but this stock Rom is the best I have ever seen. I have unlocked bootloader and rootet phone but since I have my phone (since May) I flashed this Rom and there is no reason for me to change it:angel:

Don't feel like you need to flash a custom ROM, just because you "always have". Try the stock OOS for a bit, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Stock OOS is very impressive. Very little bloat, really close to stock Android, nice customization options, and it just works. It's a big departure from the manufacturer "skins" applied by LG, Samsung, etc. which often (in my opinion) make too many changes, with little added value.
Although, I would suggest unlocking the bootloader now (instead of waiting) even if you do intend to try out the stock ROM for a while. Sinceit is a bit annoying having your data wiped (by unlocking the bootloader - it can't be avoided) and having to setup everything again, if you do decide to install a custom ROM, kernels, etc.
Stick to OOS. It's the best, really. Sultanxda's lineage is amazing for starters.
And Franco kernel on OOS is also "legendary"
Nevertheless, it's upto you to try and tell yourself what rom/kernel suits your needs.
Cheers!
That's the mistake you use custom roms. I always have stock rom on my every device
Stock open beta 10 with custom kernel(optional to remove dm verity flag) + magisk + safety net pass + adway + google assistant + dark mode.... thats it !
Hello
Just a quick question on everyones thoughs as to wether custom roms make a big difference on this phone or not?
This is the first phone I have had where I do not have an immediate desire to unlock my bootloader and start messing around with stuff. I enjoy OneUI's featureset and everything just seems to work as expected.
Do custom roms on this device have a significant improvement over performance and battery life?
Thanks
LineageOS Roms have much better battery in my experience, and is snappier, however the animations aren't as smooth I feel. If you have no problems with performance however, there's no point switching to LOS just for the speed.

I typically only like to root and use stock rom. I need root because I hate ads, and like to have full control over my phone. With the S10 if you don't use a custom rom though you'll need to use a button combo to boot into the rom anytime you power off so I chose to go with BeyondRom since it's basically the stock rom but is modified to always boot into the rom.
