Best kernel and rom combinations? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey all, wondering what everyone's opinions are for the best kernel and rom combinations out there. I'm mainly looking for solid performance with good battery life, but then again, who isn't?

phones are like people, no two devices are exactly the same. what works well for me may not even boot up for you. therefore, questions such as these, are impossible to answer, because every device works and behaves differently. the only way to figure out the best ROM and kernel combination for your device, is to try them all.
not every device is treated the same way, just like people.

Yup, but to add to it, everyone wants solid performance and great battery, but everyone uses the phone differntly, so in every aspect, there's just no good reliable way to answer questions like this.
They can also prompt flame wars between loyal rom users which is one reason why these threads always get closed. Sorry, but you just have to research what offers you what you want, then test it out for yourself if it actually does what you want.

Battery life!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10m8gZKop9IPFhIsdMwjRxyXlpetCVwaemhNh27q8Pu8/viewform
just an example. 5 minutes in google docs. That will help me and other users. Is that really hard to make and attach to big main thread?
Stock is always best. I personally think the extra features in custom roms are worth the slightly less battery life.

Yeah, I know that battery life depends on kernel, I installed paranoid + franco kernel(proclaimed as an awesome battery) and what I have? It sucks, stock rom 100 times better.
I dont need a performance or damn ANTUTU points, what Im do is just making calls and reading books. Thats all!
Please, give me the name of best ROM + kernel pair for best battery life. Also, please name some statistic.

Wow... Unless something is lost in translation, it sounds like you really aren't interested in what XDA-Developers is all about. While there are numerous knowledgeable folks here who will happily help others and answer questions, it's not a place to drop in and have people serve up just what you want to know on demand. If the answer to your question were truly a "cut and dried" affair, then you'd likely see some information in the Wiki listing "the best ROM / kernel combination for battery life", and all of the conversations and ROM / kernel experiments and tweaks relating to that topic would be moot. But that's simply not the case. "Best" will differ across users and configurations, depending on usage patterns, installed apps, strength of 3G / 4G / Wi-Fi signals throughout the user's day, etc. Whether or not you, personally, care about the feature sets that custom ROMs offer, most of the folks here do, in fact, care -- and that's why many of us are here. That's why the developers put in countless hours researching, developing, testing and tweaking their ROMs, kernels and utilities.
Finding "the best" will be a different search for each user, based on unique circumstances and interests. That's why it's so great that there are, in fact, so many choices here. But making the best use of the site requires that you be willing to read the discussions, do some searching, and then perhaps ask questions in various discussion threads that will help you find out what you hope to learn. If you're not willing to do that, and if you dismiss 90% of the development effort here as being pointless, I'd suggest that you probably won't find what you're looking for here.
Battery life is what it is on the Galaxy Nexus. I havent really seen THAT big of a difference with all the ROM/Kernel combos I have tried. Its the phone itself. If you have that big of a problem with it, I suggest getting an extended battery or a new phone.
You're right. You should take your questions to those forums. If you think any policies are going to change just because you complain about them you are clearly not the type of member XDA is intended for.
Jesus dude stay stock and quit wasting everyone's time with useless threads.

Nobody tells you that you must try every ROM.
What's the difference of all the ROMs for Nexus:
- Another "ROM developer"
- Different features
- Different look
- Different experience
- Etc..
If you like to complain about the things then put even your thread to Q&A section!! -_-
I am using my modified STOCK Android ROM and battery life is great so stop complaining and use Android phone with stock Android OS or go to use iPhone with the same firmware which almost everyone iPhone user uses..
And also Battery life doesn't just depend of "Kernel", also many other things affects to battery life.
that was a difficult read. so i didn't
My suggestion go with a ROM that is pretty much stock AOSP, and not AOKP in your case. Stick with a ROM like KALO's that is just basically the AOSP Stock ROM with almost no mods, if you worried about battery life.
I mean we could tell you but we'd have to kill you and that's against the XDA rules.

First of all "castom" isn't even a word. It's CUSTOM. Second, it's not really a good idea for noobs to take it upon themselves to blast people like you just did. This is a DEVELOPMENT forum. Just because YOU think a ROM is useless doesn't make it so. And seriously, if a MOD thinks a thread needs to be closed, it's closed. Period. Again, just because YOU think it shouldn't be doesn't make it so. Finally, don't expect to be spoon fed here. It's not tolerated well, and "Tell me the best ROM" threads generally aren't either if I remember correctly. The best way to learn is to read read read. There is a wealth of info here. Most people figure out the best ROM for them by reading and testing.
Chill out and start educating yourself on what this forum is all about.

Lola.. this dude is funny.. Blasting people because he don't know to get good battery life instead of learning and trying different things.. Cm10.1 m2 and lean kernel. 3.5 screen on time Is plenty for me. Don't blast devs hard work that they do for free just because your lazy to learn.

Wow he really went on a rant there. This place is full of great information. I say go buy a flip phone or be ready for some trial and error. Every phone is different, even if it is the same model every phone is different. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. If you can spend a lot of time customizing then you can spend some time figuring out how to get better battery life.
3 to 4 hrs screen time for a phone that's got more CPU and ram than my first computer......not bad

You are a gentlemen and a scholar, but though I understand that it will never be the same and will be very different, my question is more to find out what roms users have found to give them good battery life. Some roms are more known for mods, others more known for stability, still others for battery life, so It's more of gauging what are the popular roms with users who have found good battery life, so I can test them out in my own uses Does that make sense?

Your last line is your own answer, because there is no two phones alike or two users who use their phone identically. "so I can test them out in my own uses"
So try the ones you want and answer that question for yourself. This exact question you asked has been asked at least 100 times a search would have yielded that answer for you and most treads where locked again because it's a mute point.

Fair enough, I guess I also was wondering which of them have been the most popular and up to date, because between work and school, I can't have a non-functional device, I don't want to go out testing all the roms, but rather hear a couple recommendations and go with those first.
Anyway, Thats a fair point, So I will have to do a search and see what I can find. If you have any particular roms that you've enjoyed tho, feel free to PM me or post them here. Otherwise, mods feel free to lock this.

The most popular roms will always be at the top of the listing development just because the threads get the most traffic. TPR The People's Rom is my personal choice it comes with Aroma Installer which gives you plenty of choices in apps and kernels.

Rom Questions

Sitting on the stock rom at the moment but have been looking around to find a custom rom.
What seems to be the most favored ROM at the moment?
Also is the Camera and all it's features? Panaramic photos, beauty face etc. grouped with the stock rom would or have the other developers been able to implement the camera in their rom?
Wicked ROM.

Threads asking about "which is the best rom" are generally prohibited on XDA because there is no answer.
Only YOU can decide which is the best ROM for YOU. Features that make a rom great for me might be irrelevant to you. Even if we both value the same features it then depends on how you and I use them differently. And finally it just cones down to taste.
You have to try different ones out and decide for yourself.

Which is why I asked which seems to be the most favored. I wanted to get a feel what everyone else seems to be using without having to flash 3 different roms to find something decent.
The only reason I ask this as there seems to be a ton of roms out there.

Which is another way of asking "which is best". Agsin, these kinds of threads are not generally permitted on xda.
You need to try roms yourself to find out what is right for you.
Try a touchwiw rom then an aosp rom. See which overall platform you like more. That will cut down on the number left to decide from. Then read up on the available features in roms of the platform you like to narrow it down more.
No one can tell you what the best option is. But these threads do tend to accumulate on xda. There are already 2 of them today.

Not sure why you are getting on my case for asking this question, I don't have a bunch of time to sit down and flash rom after rom which is why this thread was created.
I wanted to see what a majority of people were using to get a feel from there.
Again so I don't have to flash a bunch of roms.
It's the same concept of reading a review over phones, I want to see what phones people were using so I don't have to go buy phone after phone to find something I like.
I'm not ASKING people to tell me what rom to get, again I asked to see what they were using so I could look up the rom they were using and go from there.

No one is getting on your case. Just explaining that these kinds of threads usually end up locked on xda and why "the most popular" rom isn't going to always be the best rom for you.
I told you how to narrow it down dramatically to a couple of roms to choose from so you don't have to sort through all 20 or so.
To answer you initial question though, the most popular rom on the s4 by a HUGE margin is the stock rom. Number 2 in overall popularity is the stock rom with root installed and bloat removed.
If you don't have time to test different roms, then my honest advice to you is to stick with either stock or stock with root because any use of custom roms takes up a lot of time. All the little settings that make a custom rom different from a stock rom take hours and hours and hours of fiddling with to find the perfect set up for your use. And if you ignore those settings options you may as well just stick with stock anyway. Then there are the inherent glitches that come with any custom rom, usually minor, but still requiring attention. And then the regular updates to fix those glitches or to add new features and improvements. Its all very time consuming. So if you don't have the time to test custom roms, you probably won't have the time to maintain one either. This is absolute honesty about this hobby for you.

[Q]Rom Summary

Hey guys, i am looking to have a new rom, i know this question was asked like 9999 times a day, but it could be very helpful if someone made a post with a summary of all the roms and their bonuses regarding other roms, that way people can join in and just look it up, pick what they need more for themselfs and use it, well ye most of them are the same but some does have better battery life, others better smooth and such. also a combination of rom+kernel info could help alot, most of the people dont even know what is our there and still using stock or some old stuff.
me for example, i was an AOKP since they release their first ROM for the GN, but now it looks like they died or something, so looking for something new and fresh that got a decent battery and smooth
The problem with these sort of topics is that they are too subjective. You really need to try one yourself and see if it suits your needs.

Which ROM performs the best on the ZF2?

The selection of ROMs available is a bit overwhelming. Which one should I be using?
Stock? (Rooted ofcourse)
SuperZen?
Prism?
CM12.1?
Slim?
Omni?
Carbon?
Euphoria?
Paranoid?
And don't say flash them and see for yourself. I don't HAVE TIME to flash all of them, nor am I remotely interested in tinkering with the settings on each and every ROM. I just want to get the best value out of my phone. Aesthetics aside, do they have any notable key differences between them such as stability, performance, battery life, memory usage, or are they all relatively equivalent in that department?
I feel this thread will get flammed.

I tried CM12.1, but there were annoying bugs for me, the phone got warm and battery life was bad.
I went to SuperZen and everything is pretty much like Stock, not much difference other than not having to disable and hide as many apps.
I really wish this phone had better battery life.

Yes they are, but best Rom, best kernel threads are frowned upon. All the developers here give their work for free and all strive to provide the best possible software. So in this case comparison equals criticism. You really need to decide what you want and make your decision based on your own reading of the respective threads.

Also, the best rom for one person may not be the best for someone else. Everyone uses their device differently, so there's really no other way to know what will work the best other than trying out a few.

At this state, most ROMS are almost identical. Only a couple have the actual ROM's features. Our PA doesn't have hover/peek (yet). I think only Slim Rom and Team EOS have their features activated. But most (CM based) ROMS have the same bugs.

I don't see the harm in criticism, so long as it's constructive. If I was developing a product, and my work wasn't up to par with what the people wanted, I feel it would be a disservice to myself and to others to blatantly shun / ignore criticism that could possibly help me develop a superior product.

That may be the case, however, if you read my OP, I clearly state that I am looking for user feedback on KEY differences between the ROMs which affect EVERY single ZenFone2 user (if any exist at all?). Ntrasme just stated that they are all basically identical at this point. Can anyone else testify/confirm that?
Personally, I've tried a few of the CM12.1 derived ROMs myself and did not notice any major differences between them other than a few slight aesthetic changes, which makes me wonder if there is any legitimate reason as to why I should use one over the other

Literally every ROM will be useful to different people.
Install a ROM. Decide if you like it. OR YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ THROUGH EACH ROMS THREAD. Please do not clutter the forum with this type of post. It is completely unnecessary. The ROM that works well for me may not work for you. Features I may love, you may have no use for. Literally just spend a few hours or days reading reading reading and more reading up on all these ROMs, and install ones you think will work. You will not receive an answer you are looking for here.

To be honest you have to deside for yourself. No time to flash is not a reason at all. We are all busy and yet spend some time to flash and find our own perfect roms. Developers spend 10x more of that time to bring us FREE rom to flash. Ill give you an example. Says rom #1 is my best rom. i love it give me the best battery life i wanted but it lags here and there which for me its fine. But for a power user. Someone who play games or someone with lots of apps may find it annoying to have lag here and there. And might not care so much about battery therfor labeling the rom not his/her favorite. My setup is unrooted. Looked bootloader. I hate my sot but i have quick chargers at my work. Homr and car. So im good lol

Oh, I've read your post. And your answers are already all over the dev sections of this forum. Each rom has its own thread, in which users discuss said rom. There you will find people talking about stability, memory usage, etc.
Every.single.one.of.those.is.answered.
Not only in each respective forum, but in your thread. You've already been told. You just didn't like the answer. You are cluttering up the forum.

Nah, I've looked through each and every one of those threads and clearly it didn't contain the information or answers I was looking for. For one, I've yet to see honest, unbiased and fair comparisons on the key differences between the ROMs. Just because you personally don't find a certain topic of discussion useful doesn't make it clutter. With that said, if you feel my thread clutters the forum, maybe you should stop contributing to the "clutter".

Here is a video a MOD made back in 2012 that describes how to use the search bar.

What specific questions about CM do you have? Post that in the CM Q/A thread
What specific questions about SlimLP do you have? Post that in the SlimLP Q/A thread
honest, unbiased comparison? So if JoeSchmoe XDA user just says "Oh, I'm unbiased", does that mean you'd believe them? Don't look for a comparision guide; Instead, look at threads and/or websites of EACH rom you are considering, and they will tell you every nook and cranny of that rom. Then, you can make an informed decision about which rom to try FIRST. Don't like it? Pick another.
You are not the first, nor the last, to post this exact thread here for the Zenfone 2, even though the phone is barely a few months old.
If you cannot take the time to gain knowledge on the process and the differences of the roms yourself, you should not be attempting to flash a custom firmware.
We are all here for the love of development and technology.
I suggest that if you want a perfect rom, that is the best of all worlds, that you take up programming and show us all how superior you are. :good:

Not true. Alot of the ROMs are still in testing, and even the devs dont even know every nook and cranny on wtf is going on. Reason I started this thread is to figure out core differences. Usually there is a de facto consensus on what is the best ROM to use on a device, but with ZF2 apparently that's not the case as each ROM is basically equivalent / derived from one another.

so what if i told you there were people here who just want the best option for their phone, and could actually benefit from a comparison guide between the list of ROMs, because *GOD FORBID* they could careless about investing their time into the development and tech side of things because:
a) they have actual jobs.
b) a life.
c) would rather spend that time trying to get laid instead of nerding it out.
