Stock Rom or Custom Rom

If what I'm looking for is performance, should I stick to a stock rooted rom?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

In term of performance, i think xxlm8 is the best for now.
cm9 is also great but still has many bugs and no camera.
still it's yours to choose

Its depends on you bro. I still use stock rom myself. I dont have any issues on my stock rom. And so far, everything runs smooth. Btw im on stock DXLM3. I just rooted my.phone and flashed CWM and for now im satisfied. .

Both have advantages and disavantages.
If you want to stay always up to date, then you'll have to use custom roms, because Samsung doesn't care much about that.

for better performance and less errors, just stick to stock ROM and root

I've tried all the roms. I went back to stock. but I wanted the 14 toggle buttons and etc so I'm using this:
use this stock rom. deodexed. i use it.

im still confused on what supercharge can do, can you explain it? some experts recommends not to use that on our Wonder, i wonder why if it can boost the phones performance.

Well. Ive been wondering about it myself to. I'm not a pro so I went through the trial and error route.
I've tried in on Cow Rom. Kezra v6. Miui. and Rebel. My phone became more responsive after the supercharge but it became more unstable. So i switched back to the stock rom and its stable superfast.
I use option 6 only. (please note to set 99supercharger.sh to boot, if not your settings might not stick)

oh ok i get it.. does it lessen the lag?

it certainly improves scrolling and response and I've not faced any lag at all for the past 4 weeks.
btw. backup your rom 1st before you do it.
just incase u're not satisfied with the supercharge.

Custom Rom! Of course you should use a custom rom

[Q] Help choosing Roms

So.. I bought the Samsung Grand yesterday. I rooted it. Installed the clockwork recovery. It was a piece of cake.
So now i have to confess. I HATE SAMSUNG'S LAUNCHER! The normal android launcher seems much much much better. So simply. I want a rom that has
Android 4.2.2
ORIGINAL ANDROID LAUNCHER. NO SAMSUNG INSANE LAUNCHER
Stability. I want it to be as stable as the original. If possible of course
Battery improvement.
NO LAG. PLEASE NO LAG D:!
And finally. I do not know if that is possible. Maybe overclocking?
Ability to install mods?
Root XD?
Also some other questions
After i flash the custom ROM. Can i restore the original? Samsung's one? In case i need to use the warranty.. So i can restore the original insane samsung stuff. And remove root and they won't know anything..
Is flashing a new ROM dangerous? Ya know just wondering.
Can it speed up my Samsung Grand?
Sorry i am a noob.
Also that is my VERY FIRST android phone. So. Yeah

As it seems. The ROM is only flashable if i have the leaked 4.2.2 update. Which i do not have..
And it seems to have the same annoying Samsung Launcher. From the pictures.
Also how can i go back to the samsung stock Rom or whatever
And what custom kernel do i need to get?

Also a launcher is NOT an option. I can't express how much i hate those launchers. All i want is the default android launcher. No TouchWiz

Only the primary SIM slot works
Landscape does not display properly (workaround: Disable HW overlays in Developer Options)
FM Radio does not work
Strange behavior when SIM PIN lock is used
Low call volume
Cannot hear first caller when second caller calls (call waiting) (unconfirmed)
Important Note
I do not own this phone and only did this port as a demonstration to my (real-life) friend on how to port CM to a new device. However, it would be a waste to just delete it, so I'm sharing it with you all. So if someone else want to port CM, they won't have to start from scratch. But because I do not have the device, I cannot actively work on it and most bugs will likely be left as-is. If anyone else want to submit patches, they are welcomed to do so.
Also, I've developed this on the I9082L, but it should work on the I9082 as well.
That is what was written on the ROM's thread.
I want the phone with EVERYTHING working fine just as fine as it was on stock. Just with the ability to overclock , Put some mods and REMOVE THE STUPID TOUCH WIZ INSANE LAUNCHER SAMSUNG PUT. XD

[Q] Problems with Stock ROM, and recommendations for a non-android User.

Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400633
My big concern is that Im not the user of the phone, and you now what happens with "users" if something is not working...

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!

thanks but, the main ones have good 3G connection right?? I mean ignorance and HTCDroid right??
Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts

If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.

Well if you looking for something with svoice you would wanna do a touchwiz rom

OK, I am looking at a few different roms.
I see there was an offical a few weeks ago and that they one has been ported to the i317m - which one is that?
I also see lots of talk about bootloaders.. I see 4.2 4.3 etc.. my bootloader is i317mvlucmk5... I see nothing about 4.2 or 4.3?? what do I have??
Thanks
James

The one I have 4.4 slimfast is a tw rom correct?
I messed it up some.. I think I will reflash.. but there is so much talk about bootloaders and deoxed, etc.etc.. this much more complicated than my old LG and Cyanogen.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
