Hi all ! I made this thread to share with you my experience with i9305 roms/kernel and to make it easy to users which rom to choose ! I tried almost every rom/kernel for i9305 and here are my feedbacks.I didnt make thus thread to say this rom is good and this one is bad! just to compare depending on stability speed battery life ... on every android version you will find the best rom! Let's start
ROMS
Android Lollipop 5.x
Android Lollipop 5.1.x
AICP 9.0 Rom: I personally think that this is the best 5.1.x rom for i9305!
It s really fast and stable and has a great battery life
Note: RR rom is awesome also but aico is more stable (I got some fcs with RR)
Android 5.0.x
In android 5.0 I ll give to great roms to try
1.CyanogenMod 12 : even it is an unofficial rom but cm12 by winxuser is amazing specially stable build
2.AICP 8.0 : it is unofficial also but a very good rom
Androod KitKat 4.4.4
so in kk 4.4.4 I ll devide it to 3 sections : stock/stock based . Note 4 rom . S5 rom
Stock/stock based
I think Amcha rom is the best stock based 4.4 rom for i9305 ! n4 and s5 trasformers are there
Note 4
N4 Elite lite is the best
S5
S5 elite lite is the best
thanks @MaHo_66
Note: also qasim's note 4 ultimate rom is good but it has some bugs and issues
Alsi The Galaxy Project rom is amazing but it has less features compared to amcha
Kernels
For Lollipop 5.1.x
Agni 2.9.1 is the only one currently
For Lollipop 5.0.x
Boeffla is the best in battery life
Archie is the best in features
For KitKat
Agni kernel is the best
Thanks all
Thanks for your opinions. I planning to make S3 LTE my next phone, and for someone who is just starting here, knowing what others are enjoying the use of is great start for my flashing beginnings. Especially with the huge list of ROMs available. I know these "best ROM" threads are normally looked down upon, but I always value others opinions. Good starting point for S3 LTE noobs.
I've tried quite a few ROMs on my I9305. Only had it a few months.
CM12.1 - very smooth, the smoothest I've tried. GPS takes minutes to fix and not very accurate, data unreliable, many video playback problems, so I reluctantly left it (at BETA 4 stage).
AICP 8 (5.0.2) - quite smooth but I could not get rid of an issue with music dropouts when screen is off, despite trying all the kernels etc. A few extra features like ad blockers which didn't seem to work too well.
CM11 - very smooth (smoother still with ART on). GPS also not very good and data unreliable, but video playback at least is OK. Sleep of death on occasions. Seemed to chop the beginning off sound notifications, so didn't always hear them. Music drops out when cell connectivity changes. More bugs that I've forgotten. This was last month so I doubt it's any better now.
N4 Elite (KK stock based) - very pretty but very laggy. If you disable (root app delete) most of the features it gets better but still laggy. Smooth one minute, laggy the next, as though some process was misbehaving. Worth keeping an eye on in case it gets smoother.
S5 Elite (KK stock based) - a lot of trouble to install for some reason, lots of connectivity issues, completely failed to connect to my office wifi at all (EAP auth). Didn't try it for very long so no idea about GPS etc.
4.4.4 stock - no major problems, a few graphical glitches (may have been Agni kernel), not quite as smooth as 4.3, no reason to use it over 4.3 as we had transparent status bar anyway and Samsung did not enable ART.
4.3 stock - everything works! Data and Wifi are reliable, GPS fixes in seconds and is accurate to 10 feet, no issues or glitches with anything at all. And it's smooth. Not as smooth as CM12.1 but smoother than any KK rom I tried. This is with lots of the Samsung crap turned off/deleted of course.
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------
I should add that I am using 4.3 at the moment. I like trying the new ROMs but eventually I just want a phone that works properly so I go back to 4.3!
Best Roms
I have to agree Amcha too is my favourite stock based. Smooth and great with Google launcher.
I have tried all the 5.x ROMs and as a CM fan go CM12 closely followed by AICP both using custom kernel as I need the extra volume being a bit deaf.
But at the moment I'm using the new Miui 6 rom . I have to say thanks to those who work on it - its smooth , very fast, decent battery life, excellent modem in the UK, bug free from what I can see and just works well. It takes a bit of setting up to clear up some of the CN apps etc but definitely my daily for now. I'm sticking with 4.4.4 because I use iPlayer a lot and sadly none of the 5.x's will run on it yet.
Updated to 5.6.6 today
Now has 4 way boot and more toggles ie Sync among other fixes/improvements. OTA appears broken but downloaded from the miui link and flashed in 'normal' way.
*Mega download doesn't seem to work on mobile - just opens Mega app advert for the Playstore .

I don't know I used something called rom cleaner right after I flashed it.
I've now found a better option anyway - Amcha ROM. It's based on stock Samsung 4.4.4 (so everything works) but it is de-bloated from the start, and has plenty of options in the aroma installer for adding extras that you want and removing stuff that you don't. It's also extremely smooth. You get a choice of three UI styles - S3 (stock), S5 and N4. I tried the N4 option but that still has some issues with colours I think (some menus with white text on white). The S5 UI is perfect and has no issues.

You can also mix up the Stock i9305, S5 and Note 4 styles if you wish. I 'experimented' as I kind of prefer the Stock menu style rather than the coloured circles for About, Wifi etc, but like inparticular Note 4 styling. The white on white bug could do with a fix though.
on stock jb my i9305 was always a battery eater.
I tried many roms but all had problems . .
I found r-extreme jb and everything worked nicely for ages, till I got sdcard corruption. . a jb/kernel issue, can't remember now. But kk was maturing, and I wanted better battery life. .
Then I found SlimSaber 4.4.4. The camera just worked, unlike other kk roms that need workarounds. The display dpi was far too small for my aged eyes but easy to fix. Gps required an app to set region, then it worked fine. Some cut and try with modems, as usual. I find the "real dark slim" very clear to read.
Then google-play-services auto updated and the phone never went to deep sleep. My battery problems got worse. None of the "fixes" worked so I re-installed and went gapps free. I imported my contacts from a vcf, email from the builtin email app, maps from nokias "here" app.
After 6 months the only thing I really miss is calendar sync, but for me battery life has now doubled and my phone is fast and lag free.
Hi there.
I installed a version CM12 Tenderloin a few months back. It's pretty good for the most part but I've noticed some minor bugs with it and I'd like to try another ROM. I noticed that the CM12 roms aren't as popular as the CM11 ones based on the activity of the threads. Any particular reason why CM12 hasn't really caught on? What ROM do you recommend, and do you think is the most stable, reliable and fast?
Thanks in advance.
I came today looking to the answer to a similar question: What's the lightest rom currently for HP/TP? I used to use Oat's lite and tasty, but that's been defunct for quite some time. Is there a new hottness?
Try Jcsullins CM11

CM11 is still regarded as more stable, Jcsullins Rom is one of the most popular builds.

I have units running both the Evervolv and Pac Man Roms. The latest release of Shumash Pac rom is very stable with great battery performance. They are both a lot more stable than the CM12 roms.

I stand corrected, thanks for the information I will update that post cheers:highfive:
I've tried so many versions over the past few months and my personal consensus is that any 5.0 rom is most stable. However, all I do is watch YouTube and browse internet.
Here's a breakdown of my experiences:
5.1 Roms (PacMan and Evervolv)
Wifi issues: Frequently stops transmitting data. Need to either restart tablet or toggle wifi on/off to reset.
Youtube often will start to stutter and then stops playback completely. Sometimes videos just won't play
General responsiveness is not smooth. Lots of momentary hangs
VPN connects but does no routing (OpenVPN). Leaks my IP
5.0 Roms (Milaq)
Some Wifi issues: not as bad as 5.1 but I will occasionally need to reset wifi
Youtube plays prettty good. Some slowdown on 720p videos but does not stop. Sometimes videos don't play, needs app restart
Smooth UI and app responsiveness
VPN connects but does no routing (OpenVPN). Leaks my IP
4.4 Roms (Milaq and Jscullins)
Very smooth from the get go. LIttle to no pauses
Wifi is rock solid
VPN works as expected
Youtube very often stutters with audio/video and will stop playback until app is terminated and restarted. A real experience killer
Very frequent OS restarts. The deal breaker for me. Happens almost every 30 minutes or so.
So, tl;dr, 5.0 is the best. 5.1 the worst, and 4.4 is middle of the road. No complete rom atm, in my opinion.
5.0 would be my instant recommendation if not for VPN not working. I think it's clearly a lollipop issue as the exact profiles work fine in cm11
Thanks everyone. I hate to revive an old post but I've been really busy and never got around to installing a new ROM yet. Basically I only want to install a more stable ROM so I can give it to my son to watch videos from time to time. He really only uses it for 3 things;
1) Youtube
2) Watch videos I've downloaded for him using MX Player
3) Play kiddie learning games
5.0 actually does the job quite well, but not up to my satisfaction as I'm rather picky. I'd like to increase the battery life if possible, and I do find the performance to be a little sluggish compared to what I had before. Right now on a full charge the tablet can last maybe 48 hours with light use, 24 hours with moderate use, and 4-5 hours if used heavily.
One thing that really bugs me with 5.0 is that if I stream any live videos from sites like vipbox.tv or gofirstrow.eu the audio is always laggy. It works fine if the stream isn't live, but only has a problem if the stream is live. I never had a problem with the old ROM which is why I'd like to go back to 4.0.
So it's been a few months now since I started this thread. Any other new ROMS that people would recommend?
I just installed jcsullins lollipop version. Yes. Working camera! Stable as a rock. Recommended!
I'm using cm-12.1-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip
Standard Non-Touch CWM Recovery
Lollipop Base Gapps package for 5.1.1
Read more here
I have tried 4.4, 5.0 and 6.0
6.0 seems the most stable but it is damn slow... youtube plays fine but often experience force closes... same for almost all apps.
4.4 is the fastest but youtube stutter a lot for some reasons; anyone got a fix??
Bump for any new updates on suggested ROMS for the Touchpad.
I just purchased another one for my youngest one who broke his a few months back.
Milaqs Lineage 11

So you really believe that this build gives the best overall experience? I had a pacman lollipop rom on my tp for some years and it worked well but it would shut down some apps sometimes and some apps didn't work at all. I put 7.1.2 evervolv on it and it became unstable and would shut down pretty consistently. I want an os that is stable but can run apps properly and can be overclocked. Can this one be overclocked?
I put this one on but youtube vids were all messed up. Not great for my kids. I guess off to find a better rom.

The user experience is subjective and depends largely on the apps you regularly use. To fix the YouTube issue open the app play a video and go to settings (three dots upper right), set the Quality to 720p. All the builds will overclock if rooted, use Kernel Adiutor here.
I find a lot of apps require at least Android 5.0
Is there a stable 5.0 rom for the TP?
I have two apps on Evervolv 9.0
Wyze cam and Youtube Vanced
Everything seems so laggy on android 9.0. Have followed the guide to increase swap to 1gb, cpu to 1.8ghz, and remove crap from rom.
So i have the same question.
as a bonus, any tips on increasing the maximum system volume would be nice
Im looking to try and put this problem to bed once and for all.
I have a 3GB ram 32GB ROM Mi5, I have used it for about 6 months and over that time tried about various roms extensively, (Resurrection Remix, Paranoid Android, MIUI 8 (various builds), LOS, Dirty Unicorns, + others). No matter which OS, Rom or code base I have memory issues where the phone will have 600-800MB free ram but kill background tasks if they havent been used for a short while or if I try open a large app most of the background apps are killed. Some people will say this is normal behavior but I do not believe it is. The reason Im sure its not normal is I currently also have a Oneplus One 3GB/64GB. I have my OPO running Nitrogen OS 7.1.2 (Mi5 is currently Paranoid Android 7.1.2) and the OPO happily multitasks, I can use the recents switcher to open an app from an hour or two ago and it pops right up where it was. My Mi5 will redraw this app everytime in the same circumstances. The Mi5 will often kill the launcher even and have to redraw after pressing home.
I have tried differing kernels (Stock, Dragonxia (current) and Xceed) none helped, I've tried setting different values in the Low Memory Killer setting in Kernel Adiutor to no avail. Something must be inherently wrong with this phones hardware, I wondered if the memory reported 2.6GB is in fact false? I have verified my phone genuine through Xiaomi's service.
I have significantly more free ram on the OPO than the Mi5, both on Android 7.1.2 yet massive differences. "Android OS" on my Mi5 will use 1GB of ram easily, the OPO is showing just under 500MB at present.
Im seriously considering scrapping my Mi5 and going back to the OPO full time, the user experience is so much nicer despite the Mi5 generally performing better (faster internal storage, better camera, fingerprint is nice, faster SOC)
Do you think this is just a Xiaomi thing or is something critically wrong with my Mi5?
Thanks for reading
Appreciate your honest opinions or solutions though I have tried about everything I could find online.

It has to do with the kernel which is ultimately based on Xiaomi's kernel source code.
Although I don't have a fix you can use now, I recommend that you flash JDC's AOSP 8.0 Oreo build. Apparently in Oreo Google compresses tasks before loading it in the RAM and RAM management should be significantly better. Although the ROM isn't DD ready yet it might be worth it to see what the future holds.
I would install latest Global Developer MIUI with MiFlash using clean all option. It will wipe everything in your phone. Then install TWRP and flash JDCTeam Stable 9 + B--B kernel v0.30. I'm using this and it performs really good.
You can't compare OPO's 3g Ram with Mi5 3g Ram. OPO is a 32-bit device, while Mi5 is a 64-bit one. This means each pointer on Mi5 takes 8 bytes of memory while it only takes 4 bytes of memory on OPO. Pointers are a bit part of memory usage.

No, not at all. That eats battery and CPU power like there is no tomorrow. Just try the JDC Oreo build for yourself (the LOS 15 build is too unstable).

Have followed your post and I am so far very happy with performance, memory management/multi tasking is still worse than my OPO but seems better and overall the OS seems faster and more responsive. I did flash Oreo on my OPO and it looks nice, using as a daily driver on the OPO as a second device more or less to evaluate Oreo, I use the OPO for things like youtube and spotify, it has a data only SIM. Looking forward to trying a more stable build of Oreo on my Mi5 when they are available but I need my main phone pretty stable so will wait on this a while.
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.
MK8.1 NIGHTLY 030318... so far so good
I have been using a moto z3 play since its launch, and it has been a solid phone. However, it has stopped receiving updates, I am stuck on Android 9 when it was supposed to receive up to Android 10.
The stock ROM is acceptable, but the lack of a system-wide dark mode, the constant lag/freezing, and the lack of customization options has made me think about flashing a custom ROM. I am not a heavy user, I use my phone for basic tasks and play light games from time to time.
Right now I have two options for custom ROM:
1.- Resurrection Remix 7 Official (based on Android 9): ROM that I have used before in different devices, I know perfectly well for its almost unlimited customization options and excellent battery life thanks to the Pixel+ custom kernel. However this ROM will not receive any updates either.
2.- Android 11 GSI: I have been listening to the wonders of the GSI, however, personally I have never installed one, it catches my attention because it is the latest version of Android but I do not know how it will react with my low-end device (Snapdragon 636).
Could you help me decide which one is better or if there is a better option that I have not considered?
