Are you looking for Touchwiz or AOSP based ROMs?

I just got the phone last week, so im new to what ROM's are out there for the phone.. Whats the difference between Touchwiz and AOSP?
I am running CM10.1 (the most recent 'stable' build)
I've been running said rom non-stop since saturday and I have noticed no bugs thus far.
If anything it seems faster and more stable than stock touchwiz.
most noticeably my battery lasts WAY longer than it used to.
Just make sure you flash the right way, with the correct Gapps
I flashed the CM first by itself, then after it booted up successfully I went back and flashed Gapps separately.
Good luck and have fun!
I'm a noob so I can't post links... but get . cm is the site for the cm zip download,
and google gapps and it should be the first thing that pops up.

All of the roms are pretty stable, the best way to find one to your liking is to browse the development forum, read the ops of the roms and find some that are to your liking and try them all out. Everybody wants different things from their phone, so asking what's the best/most stable Rom is like asking what the best sandwich is for your tastes, just gotta try them out and decide for yourself... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: good luck in finding songwriting that suits your needs

Touchwiz is more of Samsung's addition to Android. AOSP is considered a fuller Google experience. For a stable AOSP ROM, your best bet would to be start out with CM10.1. CM10.1, an AOSP ROM, is much smoother than the S3's stock Touchwiz ROM. It runs much quicker and it often has better battery life. However, with AOSP ROMs, you lose Touchwiz features, such as "Smart Stay". You will most likely have to flash quite a few ROMs before you find one you like. I would suggest starting out by flashing the M snapshot of CM10.1 which can be downloaded here. Also, do not forget to flash the 4.2.1 gapps which you can get here. I am assuming you are rooted with a custom recovery installed. If this is the case, just look around in the dev section and you will find many tutorials giving step by step instructions how to flash specific ROMs. CM10.1 is now considerably stable and is fine for daily use.
Pros of Touchwiz: Has many nice features that make a more friendly user experience.
Cons of Touchwiz: Stock ROM is bloated. Often slower than an AOSP ROM. Usually has worse battery life than an AOSP ROM.
Pros of AOSP ROMs: Smoother user experience. Better battery life. Full Google experience. Developers often update these ROMs faster.
Cons of AOSP ROMs: Does not have as many features as Touchwiz.
Aosp is also a lot more customizable.
I consider my phone to be pretty great looking.
And it's pretty stock lol

Most of the roms on this forum are quite stable. Just read the first couple posts of the thread then read at least the last 10 pages. That'll give you a pretty good idea of any problems that may arise. But apart from that, it's really just a matter of preference. Some roms may do certain things that others don't. TW roms and AOSP-based roms are fairly different. AOSP-type roms are usually less bloated and therefore quicker however, TW roms can be just as smooth. My personal preferences for each type are:
AOSP: CM 10.1
TW: Goodness Rom (on team-nocturnal forums, also my absolute favorite thus far) or The People's Rom

@OP, this thread will most likely get closed because you will have a different meaning of "stable" and what makes a rom good as well. No one but you can know yadda yadda, long story short -> Just flash roms that have nice screenshots and try out as many as you can

All ROMs are great and stable for those that use them. All you will get here is opinions and a closed thread. There is no substitute for reading about the software you plan on drastically altering your $600 device with.

I need a Gingerbread/Sense ROM with and emphasis on stability. Close to stock would be best though it isn't paramount. I realize that ROMs are like beers, you get a different opinion on which is best depending on who you ask. The circumstances just don't allow me to try out a whole slew of ROMs.
A good friend's wife has an EVO 4G (I have a Sensation, G2x & HD2) and is having trouble with stability. I suggested we root it and slap a custom ROM on it. While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.
I've tried a ton of sense roms, MikG still wins for stability and everything working for me.
I'm currently running synergy w/o sense lockscreen. Loving it. I've had no problems with stability.

Thats the one. I used to use Synergy to but I found it to be a bit slower than MikG and Mik sees more updates.
If you go Synergy RLS1 is the newest version. RC2 is older and was an unofficial release I believe. I never had a problem with the lock screen on Synergy.

1. If she is having a problem with stability on a stock unrooted Evo then she needs to backup her information and just do a factory reset.
2. Trying out several ROMs is required because phones react to various ROMs differently. I can tell you that a certain ROM plays well with my phone but it may not play quite as well with yours. Then comes the issue of kernels. Kernels have a large impact on the phone's stability as well.
3. Tell your friend to do his own homework on how to get her phone up and running or have an affair with her so that you can see her more often and get more opportunities to test ROMs/kernels on her phone.
What version of Sense would you prefer?

I ran AOSP and CM ROMs on my G2X. Eaglesblood with Faux's kernel. CM and AOSP ROMs are actually my preference for Android in general. I am not a huge fan of Sense, it has some nice apps but its too confining. This isn't my phone though.

The EVO 4G has 2.5 by default I believe. I run the leaked 3.5 on my Sensation and it has some improvements over 2.5 and a couple over 3.0. If there is a very stable and fully functional ROM with 3.x that would be better. Stability and functionality still trump everything else though.
They mentioned that Netflix has to work as they use it often. Skype working properly with video would be good as well.

i agree AOSP Roms are a lot better, smoother, and allow for more customization, that's why the thread i made in my sig is only about them and not about sense based roms. plus whenever an ICS rom comes out it'll be AOSP
Hiya everyone,
So I just became a Galaxy Nexus owner as of yesterday, and wondering what support is out there for this phone dev side as well whats everyones fav rom? I'm quite happy with the stock AOSP 4.2.1, however I do miss some customization of roms like from CM and AOKP when I was a S2/One X owner.
Wondering if its really worth that much of a change though however to go custom? I used to build on the S2 side of things so if there seems to be a strong community on the Nexus side maybe I'll reboot the old linux box.

You couldn't just look in the development section? And there is no favorite rom for everyone. I use slim but everyone has their own preference. No offense but I'd have expected a Dev to know better.
Try Xylon, custom toggle, custom navbar, custom status bar, custom kernel, custom .... Blablabla
A powerful mix of many CM, AOKP improvements and mainly lag and bug free

Do try Black Bean AOKP. I found this one a very complete and stable ROM in my starting days with Nexus.

Hmmm, why don't you try building as you used to do on your S II and customize your ROM the way you wish? Actually this is what I settled on after trying so many ROMs on my S II and I am following the same way with my GNex. I feel great and satisfied when I am running my own ROM and I may even bear some bugs in it just because it is mine
This is the only experience I can help you with because this is the only ROM I use

I may just have to do this, as I'm not looking to go down to 4.1.2, and the only 4.2.1 roms I've tried thus far actually haven't gone past the bootscreen logo oddly enough.

Codename Android here. It's Jb 4.1 and is rock solid for me. Love the stock feel and plenty of customizations. I've tried paranoid android and bugless beast, but always come back to CNA.

For me 4.2 is a total dissapointment,i'm still running 4.1.2 on CNA 3.8.0,the best i found out there. Tried all the 4.2 roms and all of them had that lockscreen delay that was driving me nuts so I decided remaining on 4.1.2 for a while. Also tried all the 4.1 roms but the best that fits my wishes is CNA with a stock look and tons of customization,along with faux' latest kernel, 23m-sr
Paranoidandroid hands down, no rom on this site is comparable when it comes to speed, smoothness, customizations and battery life all rolled into one, others may have one of those better but none have the combination and NONE have the amount of options.
What I am using currently can be found in my signature below.
If you're looking for a stock ROM that's merely been rooted and deodexed, bigxie's ROMs are solid and popular.
If you want a lean, clean, fast ROM with only the most useful modifications, it would be hard to beat Rascarlo's ROMs.
If you want ROMs with mods galore, some of the most popular ones are CyanogenMod, CodenameAndroid, and ParanoidAndroid. But there are plenty of others with dedicated followers.
I'm using Mmuzzy's AOSP 4.2.1 with kmameguy's MODs. I have the nice CM circle percent battery and other MODs, with the stability of 4.2.1 (as stable as it gets ATM) and probably 15-20 hours on battery. I don't think there are a lot of customizations on any 4.2 ROMs yet, as they're dealing mostly with stability issues. I've tried Factory, Vanir's beta, Xylon, and others... none have been super impressive to leave Mmuzzy's...

My buddy has a gs3 and the stock ROM isn't working or for him in terms of battery life. I'm pretty sure it's due to all the bloatware so I plan on rooting and throwing a custom ROM on it.

Could start with a debloated stock?
Also, does he want TW or AOSP? Once you know the answer to that one, simply search the top threads and go with w/e he likes the best. They all have their features and such in the OP.

That really depends on what type he prefers: stock touchwiz style or aosp based. Everyone has their own opinion. In the Android development section you can find toms that are based on stock firmware. In the original android section are the aosp based roms. I would have him look at and read over the first page of each section. The most active roms are usually on the top half or so of the first page.

Doesn't matter. He's not a power user and will be fine with either. I just want to make sure I give him the most stable ROM since he doesn't tweak experiment like a lot of us do. Based on my previous experience with past phones I automatically towards AOKP but I'm at work and don't have the time to look through all the rom threads to get a feel of which is most stable so I figure I'd just ask.

If you haven't used Task's AOKP on an S3, it isn't quite like the AOKP you're probably used to. You'll have to try it out for yourself to see what's different.

Will do, thanks for the heads up.
Hello all,
Basically I've been running the same ROM as my daily for 2 months (Frosty Jellybean 11.5) and I'm kinda bored of it. Plus I've been getting this bug where my lock screen messes up and I have to reboot my phone. I'm in the market for a new ROM and there's a lot to choose from so it's a bit overwhelming. I want something that's fairly small, fast, and close to stock. I don't need a lot of crazy features as long as I can underclock my CPU, and the Rom is customizable. I like to change it up every once in a while.
I was looking at Synergy. But the Rom seems big at 900 something MBs. The reviews make it look fast. And their thread says a lots of good things about it (Don't they all). It seems good, but may lack the customization features I want. This was almost the first ROM I went with from the beginning, but I failed to flash it after tons of download attempts and even restoring the phone to stock and trying to flash. If anyone can tell me whether or not this is working now that would be awesome. Also, does Morphology work with this ROM?
MIUI is also a good contender. I know it has amazing customization options. But can anyone give me information regarding performance and stability?
I will hear out recommendations for any other ROM's as well. I know these are all probably stupid questions and it's mostly a matter of preference, but I wanted a more informed opinion than mine. All these ROM's look amazing at a glance.
Thanks you for your patience,
Alex
if you're going for MIUI, wait for MIUI v5 to come out, hope it comes soon.
If you're looking for small with a lot of options I'm thinking that AOSP/AOKP are good options. I enjoy Liquid, Carbon, and Rootbox. They are all the same feel with minor differences. The big change that is causing a hiccup is the 3.4.X kernels that are being included. If you're looking for real stability I think the older version is what you're looking for. If you're thinking TW still, then you'll need to expect a large file size since many include the AROMA installer and whichever add-ons they choose to include. My TW recommendation would be Wicked because of the options, speed, and stability. MIUI is great for customizations, like you said, but I seem to always run into some bugs that can be irritating. Not the most "stable" but plenty of fun and worth the bugs that come with it.
I say give one of the AOSP/AOKP Roms a shot, and when the newest port of MIUI comes this way you can see how that is.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Does anyone have comments on the synergy ROM? I have a few questions about it. Is it compatible with Morphology? Could anybody get it to install correctly on their T-Mobile S3? Is it buggy?
I was also looking at ParanoidAndroid and JellyBam. I've read good things about them, but nothing really sticks out when I take a look at their threads. Could someone with experience using these ROMS chime in?

which one should i select
must be a jellybean stable rom with highest battery life

Yes there are a lot of ROMs, but if you're going to go down this route, you should be willing try a few and find the right one for you
As for jellybean roms, you can look in the title if it has something like CM10 or 4.2.x in the title to find them. Or just click inside and read the first post to see what android base it uses.
As for 'highest battery life', that depends a lot on how you use the phone, and what you realistically expect. Someone suggesting here saying it has "amaaaazing batterrrrryyyyyyyy!" will likely use the phone differently than you, so is hardly useful. You need to try out a few ROMs and find which has better battery for your usage and setup, not someone else's....
If you want stability, Gingerbread ROMs are generally more stable than the Jellybean ones as well.

Well obviously a GB ROM is going to have better battery life than jb. With that being said I get about 3 hours of screen on time with WoH's PA ROM. Like eddie said, you should try a couple out and see which one works the best for you. We all use are phones differently so recommendations aren't really accurate.
