Develop Bugs

[Q] To those of you who've tried a variety of ROMs

Hi there. As the title suggests, this is a question to those members who've tried a bunch of different ROMs. Can you please suggest the most stable one out of the ones that you've had a chance to try out, one with the least amount of bugs. Please don't go around posting annoying comments like "why don't you try a bunch of ROMs yourself". If I had time to try different ROMs, I wouldn't be typing this right now. I really need a stable ROM, and any suggestion is appreciated. I am currently using Jedi Knight 4, and it keep messing up my data connectivity every 15-30 minutes. It would go on an off non-stop every 3 seconds, and it would only stop if I turned the Airplane mode on and then off. It's really annoying, and I really need something stable, since the next few weeks are going to be incredibly busy for me, and I will need to rely on my phone a lot. I don't care whether it's ICS or JB, as long as it's stable and functional enough. Good battery life would be a huge plus, though not absolutely necessary, anything within decent range would suffice. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried to flash another radio?

I have not, but that's not my only problem with the ROM, just the most annoying one. I still need something different. Plus I don't really think that the radio had anything to do with it. It only started happening after I flashed the ROM, and that ROM wasn't too different from the rooted 4.0.4 update that I was using prior to that, and I never had problems with my connectivity with that one. Either way, maybe I'm wrong, but in that case, might you suggest a good radio?

Try the sith ICS ROM v3 or 4... very stable & fast

I figured Jelly Bean might not be worth using just yet

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Even though most of them are urging me to use a ROM that I already am using lol. Either way, keep 'em coming

It is hard to suggest what radio is the best. It depends on your phone and your location, but you can try Galaxy Note radio. For Rom, jedi mind trick X2 is the most stable.

Bug-free Jelly Bean ROM? Interesting, maybe worth looking into, thanks.

Galaxy sbean. Stable. Fast. About 12 hours battery with normal usage, about 30 using juice defender.

I'll just add...no bugs that concern me at all. others may say this or that isn't perfect....like no wifi calling. bit I've used every jb rom lately....all are pretty good. liking paranoid android for its certain customization features...like dpi changing...even particular apps....plus finding its battery life just great!

I suggest to flash again the same radio that you have.
When I flashed All-dev AOKP version, my wireless got messed up in the same way as you are experiencing. Also sequential roms flashed after I noticed this issue did not fix the problem.
There is nothing to lose if you flash the same radio. Maybe only 1 minute of your time.
After I did this, I no longer experienced issues with my wifi connection.

I've tried many roms but i always go back to juggernaut its just stable and smooth its the daily driver for me. I wish team Kang will ever go back and edit that rom and add new themes and good update.<-------------- this is the answer untill they ever come up with a good stable release of jb roms they look cool and much more choices but a headache.

It did seem to be very well-developed, nice functions, and just looked overall promising. I'm definitely considering that one.

I already flashed a newer one, seems to be perfect at the moment, but thanks for the suggestion.

Frostyjb vs jedi master

I am currently running frostyjb and i was wondering if anyone have used both and can point me to if jedi master is a big upgrade? I like frostyjb for the simple debloat but it doesnt add too much to the stock and I believe the dev stopped deving for note 2, I like how jedi seems constantly updated but last time I flashed jedi x I lost wifi calling and didnt seem to gain too much noticible (no signal at home so wifi calling was crucial so didnt get to test battery life and such in less than 1 day using it)
So pretty much is there any feature in jedi that attracted you over the other roms?

Best Battery Life ROM?

What's the best T-Mobile USA compatible ROM for battery life? I am a gamer and watch videos a lot, so basically I need the best ROM for screen on battery life.
Jedi X is giving me okay battery life, I believe stock was better.

I have jedi also its on par with stock battery life for me. When I first installed it though I didnt know it turned on gps etc. by default make sure you turn that all off when not in use.

Multi Window works just fine on Jedi-9x ... so does wifi calling and tether.
Battery life is pretty subjective to use and CPU governor used.. if you are comparing using only stock PegasusQ; my opinion would be that I actually get better battery life now than on stock.

I'm running the latest AOKP and don't have any issues. For your battery try downloading an app like better battery stats or something and see what's keeping your phone awake. Is it even going into deep sleep?

Yeah something is definitely eating your battery, it could be an app that's constantly running in the background. Download what I mentioned above and find out what's draining it so quickly. Also try wiping your caches and see if that helps :thumbup:

thanks for the help guys i just flashed back to cm10 from cm10.1 and my battery is doing fine again something about 10.1 i dont like it says stable but from my experience its far from that

finding the right OS recomendations?

i am trying to find an OS with great battery life, the best possible cell reception, that i can copy and paste easily between all screens and that has neat features for usability.
I have used dark side and jedi mind tricks ICS and both had great battery life, i liked jedi better.
i tried AOKP V3 jelly bean and it was very fast and worked great but battery life was half that of ICS, there were days i would have the phone unpluged for 3 hours and it would be down by 60%.
i am running jedi mind tricks jelly bean right now and its much better on battery life than AOKP was but the messaging is slower, the flash light is a bit glitchy and the cell service is much weaker than AOKP was.
what OS should i try next?

I prefer jedi mind trick jb. But embryo 6-11 (Touchwiz 4.1.2) is also great. I got great battery life with it and there are so many settings to play with (i.e. statusbar transparency, overclock, etc...). Its really fast and stable and is a good rom overall. Plus I think you meant custom rom instead of a OS.

i am using jedi mind trick 4 jelly bean right now. its fast in some areas but slow on teh txt screen, has graphic glitches in 3D games, is a bit slow when searching contacts and turning on the flash light makes the camera crash untill i reboot. perhaps i should try version 5?

im installing version 5 tonight and ill see how it runs. i am seriously thinking of just going back to ICS, i love some of the features of JB but i just cant find a good version of it.

As far as OS goes I'd say Android
As for a Custom ROM I'd say try them all and make the choice your self..(I know I hate that answer too.. But its the only way you'll find what's eight for you.. )
I personally love AOKP and Cyanogen as they are the only truly custom built from source ROMs. Have many features. And if set up and tweaked have awesome battery life..
But lately I've been using Jedi Mind trick and its a pretty nice mix between battery and performance.

Jedi Mind Trick JB 5 Is The Most Stable TW Rom !!

Stock JB is actually very nice...much better than stock ICS, which was awful. Just root it and debloat however you like.
