Hi,
I have been running and old ROM, CodenameAndroid, for a while now and decided I should probably upgrade. What ROM currently is equal, if not better, in features in comparison to this ROM? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Thanks!

Hello
'Best ROM' threads are really useless. This is because, you're asking for people's opinions, opinions vary from person to person - so you're really asking, 'what rom do you like'. Not really what ROM is best. Just take a look in the Android development sections (Don't post this there either...) And have a browse through all the ROM's, have a look at the changelogs, see what ROM's have the features you'd like etc.

Hi everyone,
Currently running the older DFT rom on my hd2. I am looking to upgrade the OS. Suggestions? Also, should the same radio rom I used, be used again. I've been trying to cram my brain with as much info as possible here. Really great site! Anyway. I'm in Chicago, using t-mobile.
Thanks in advance!

Wrong Section
Do you know that this section is for Android Development and not for questions. If you go back one subforum, you will find a section called "HD2 Android Q&A". That is where this question should be posted.
Mod please move to the Q&A section
To answer your question: There is no best rom, you will have to try some to find the best. Every HD2 is a little bit different and users tastes are different. Flash, flash, flash and you will find your perfect rom.
think this is posted in the wrong section m8
On the subject no-one can tell you what the best rom is other than yourself each persons needs differ
miui - sense - ics are just a few of the many choices you have best to just tesdt run a few see what best works for you
Personally i prefer miui for overall performance battery life and ease of use
sense roms are more sluggish but have more eye candy
ics is the one to go for when all the bugs are fixed i would stay clear just now unless you want to contribute to beta testing
Yeah, I'm really sorry. I noticed right after I posted it. I was actually in the process of searching for a moderator as I got your reply.
Sorry again and thanks!
Rather annoyingly, if I try to search this section for "smoothest rom", the site hangs...so I thought I may aswell make a thread about it, since the search feature doesn't fancy playing ball.
Currently on Paranoid Android, and have just realised that yes, it may well be a kick-ass ROM with amazing features, but I'm using none of them. I'm not using pie, nor am I using its hybrid engine. Sooo...I wanted to know which ROM (for Maguro) is the fastest/smoothest. Not the one with the most, or with the best features...just in terms of speed and smoothness?
Oh and also a quick side note...another sudden realisation of mine, my contract runs out just after the Nexus 5 will probably be released (this coming winter)...woop woop,...good timing, eh?
Anyways, I'd be really greatful for any suggestions for which ROM to switch to!
Cheers!
IMO stock or something close to it (buglessbeast, etc). Grab a nice kernel too and you'll have the best speed/stability
Thread Closed:
Best ROM threads aren't allowed, these threads normally go the wrong way. I suggest you try a few or look at features and see which one would best fit your needs. Thanks for your understanding.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if there's a general consensus on the most stable AOSP rom? Preferably one that doesn't have anything (major) broken - e.g I can live without voice search, I must have a fully working camera, etc. Also built to be stable as a rock. Are the AOSP roms vulnerable to the SDS?
Or are they not quite there yet?
For those of you not on AOSP, what stock-based roms do you like? I don't really understand the difference between stock and things like ARHD for example? How stable is it compared to stock, and what about battery life? My 4.1.1 battery was incredible but 4.1.2 isn't so good.
Cheers!
Hi guys,
Just wondering if there's a general consensus on the most stable "What's the best ROM" thread? Preferably one that doesn't have anything (major) broken - e.g I can live without newbies opinions, I must have a fully detailed answers, etc. Also built to be the most stable as a rock thread, one that even the mods won't delete for being the 500th repeat thread. Are the AOSP roms threads vulnerable to the SDS (Sudden Deletion Syndrome)?
Or are the threads not quite there yet? Do we need another one?
For those of you not on XDA regularly, what stock-based roms threads do you like? I don't really understand the difference between searching and posting yet another thread for example? How silly is it compared to other threads, and what about sarcasm life, how quickly will my threads be mocked? My first thread was incredible but this "What's the best ROM" isn't so good.
Cheers!
Android Revolution HD (14.0 for the Galaxy Note 2) is probably the closest you're going to come to what you want. It's based on the stock ROM, but lordy! is it fast. And rock solid. Has a built-in installer that allows you to remove (or not) the Samsung cruft. Been using it since version 9, and I am quite happy with it. Check the thread in the developer forum.

Hilarious! No seriously, thanks for taking the time to satirise the thread without taking note of some of the questions I'd asked.
I've searched long and hard about SDS and not getting anything at all concrete about the implications of using AOSP. We don't all have the £500 to throw around and just risk bricking our device because somebody is to pretentious to actually help out someone that has taken the time to look but still needs some guidance.

Hi mate, thanks for the response. ARHD was great on my desire HD when I used it almost 2 years ago on that, and it looks to be the best stock rom for my needs - I appreciate the first hand review though! Still trying to get my head around aosp roms, many of which without buglists and uncertainties regarding SDS :/

SDS Thread
What - is - the - best - ROM
The sad truth of SDS is that no one really knows (sure, there's a LOT of speculation) anything about it. I know 3 people with S3's who have had their phone die after they upgraded to the latest Sammy Official "patched for SDS" ROM. It's sadly a gamble we all take.
Anyway, if you're really done some research then I apologise. You didn't mention that at all in your original post, it looked like another "I'm too lazy to research this, bring it to me on a platter" thread.

Whilst the title is generic the inside of the thread was a bit more particular - with the SDS focus - and so given that nothing was out there I'm not really sure of the point of putting "honestly I've searched please don't kill me" because this is my 3rd device I've played with and used xda for and I know how petty a lot of forum members can be, it simply wouldn't make a difference.
The SDS thread is naturally where I started but has extremely limited info for aosp rom. The what is the best rom threads you posted are largely redundant given the lack of information or type of experience they're looking for is provided. Most are a waste of everyone's time and given how quickly development rakes place even if they were relevant they could still quickly be outdated.
Your tone in your first reply suggested that the answers were blindingly obvious and even a moron like me could find them with the most primitive of searches. Instead you've just admitted that no one really knows and it therefore was a valid question - a bit more thought before posting could go a long way.

The point of telling people you've done some research is so that they don't assume you're lazy. Sadly, most people ARE lazy. SDS focus? You mention it once, in passing.

Right, for your generic "Which is the best ROM" question. There's heaps of them out there already and none of them answer it because it's such a subjective question.

I like how you're trying to pretend your whole first post was all about SDS. Sure, it totally was. My bad.
Liquid Smooth ROM, no doubt! It's perfect! I haven't had any crashes and glitches yet!
I would prefer the Slim Bean JB ROM but, the camera doesn't work (build 5). Once the camera issue is fixed, I am going to revert back to Slim Bean JB
Hi all, I'm the OP for the Grand ROM Survey (TW and AOSP) for the N7100.
57 ROMs and 160 versions selectable.
I'm requesting your participation so that there is enough data to objectively answer the question "popular" and "best" as there is a scoring feature that allows ROMs to be ranked.
Please submit as many entries as you wish based on the ROMs and versions you've tried.

I would recommend Wicked v7 Custom rom, it has all the bells and whistles which make a rom and the phone so great.
It's fast, smooth, lag free and everything a custom rom should be. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed........
Here is the link for the Wicked v7 custom rom for the M919 Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265998
They frown I comparing ROMs and staying debates over which is better - and just asking what people like is a little silly. What do you WANT? A stock Touch Wiz experience with all the Samsung and T-Mobile bells and whistles? Stock android? Simple and uncomplicated? Super-configurable? Highly optimized for performance, or battery life, or storage space?
I'd love to see a thread with links to the appropriate ROM thread and a Twitter-sized expansion if what's unique and noteworthy about the ROM (probably written by the dev), so there's a simple place to start comparing.

Try BeanStalk and your TW worries are over
I recommend the ROM that you like best.
I have used Wicked, Infamous, and ALPHA. I personally prefer Alpha as it's an international base which is updated more regularly than t-mobile is.

Best ROM threads are very subjective, dependent on many different criteria.
I have a strange feeling that this Best ROM thread will go the way of all the other Best ROM theads.......Locked
What I have done is looked through the past 50 pages in the Q&A Forum, and have linked to all the Best ROM threads which have been Locked, listed from the newest to oldest. Although the number of Locked
Best ROM threads will continue to grow.
There are so many, that ironically these Locked threads have become their own source of ROM information, although ROM versions are constantly updated and new ROMs are emerging all the time.
So as is always said, it is suggested to go into individual ROM threads, read about what features they have, their feedback, ask any questions you may have, etc., and try them out to see which ROM suits your taste and works best for you

You know how it is here in xda, we need to find something for the moderators to do
or they will fall asleep, at least we are not cussin', fussin' and fightin' about anything.
What better way to keep em awake than talking about the best roms or our favorite roms? LOL

How can there be so many "best" roms, something must be wrong...
I always thought that only one rom could be the best.
I bet out of all those best roms you found only one is truly the best, the rest are all second class.

Yes, they are All the Best, so the search for the Bestest ROM in the Whole Wide World has Officially ended, and we will not see or hear about anymore Best ROM threads....
The illusive search is Officially over......
And now back to reality :laugh:
The Best ROM is............. Drum Roll please.......
To be found in the next Locked Best ROM thread:cyclops:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.

Hey guys,
Hope you're all doing well.
I've been following xda for the past 1.5 years, I'm a student studying abroad and I use my phone almost all day.
I just want to know from a person who has more knowledge than me about which is the most stable, bug free and best rom for the Sprint Note 4 model?
I can not keep up with different rom topics or posts because of my personal routine. Now you might be thinking this guy is a noob he doesn't want to search for himself, but tbh I've already tried the Emotion Rom and it has been a bad experience. So just please surprise me.
Hoping for a positive answer.
Regards,
Zeekay.

Not many people like answering questions like this, so to not offend any of the Devs. But i already gave some similar info on a previous post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71247433&postcount=25
Besides the roms i mention in the above post, there's also LineageOS, which wasn't out then. It's an Aosp rom and you can find it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-lineageos-14-1unofficial-t3573327
Also which Emotion rom did you try? The one from this sprint section by SaintZ93? If not, I suggest you give it another chance.
To sum it up, the most current up to date roms out there for the sprint device are as follows:
AOSP:
LineageOS
EmotionOS
Touchwiz:
Dtux Rom
UN7 Rom
Maybe if you want just pure stock Note 4, you can try the Stock QB3 Rom, I have posted on here.
If anyone feels i left anything out, feel free to correct me!
