Aorp rom 4.4.20
I installed this AORP ROM and it's working fine. You may have troubles with using browser, because it's pretty lagy and internet works very slow and often app browser chrashes. But if you use Chrome instead browser everything works fine and fast. When you reboot phone, you must wait some time, it reboots slowly. Other apps that I have tried are working ok.
I'm not gonna say that this ROM is definetivly stable, it's in beta stage, but for me was until now pretty ok.
I've posted some screenshots...

the browser lag? It is because of chrome webview right? because after using 4,4 on my n7 fhd, the browser is laggier than chrome.

I do not have installed both, browser and chrome. I've tried first the browser and was working slow and had lag. Then I installed chrome and was working ok, in meantime had installed browser and was nothing to see of lag in chrome. Then I uninstalled browser and have just chrome. As you can see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578719&page=8, the troubles with browser are apparently bug in rom.

what i meant was in kitkat, besides eliminating total flash support, google also removed the outdated webkit browsing engine and replaced it with the newer chromium engine. However, this causes performance issues with most browsers except google chrome,obviously. Basically, the aosp browser and others that we loved has been rendered unusable in kitkat. The lag is not caused by having both browsers, it happens because the changes google make to the OS itself.

Sorry, didn't right understand you before. It seems to be so. Before kitkat was no problem with browser.
All of the current releases are base of mikes LegacyXperia nightlies and the only one that is based on the latest release is Halley by HeadFox. ALL of the others are using earlier releases!!!
I'm personally using the latest nightlie from mike, which is from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545354
He's not advertising the releases or updating the thread because he got royally p****d off with people abusing the XDA rules and using a development thread for stupid questions rather than just reading the OP....
Anyway, I've found the releases from him to be the most stable and battery friendly of all the 4.4 releases so far. For the browser issue I just use Opera mini (which I've used for a long time anyway) , there are no random reboots so far, I can get a 12hr shift from one charge, and that is with me sending @10 sms and 3 or so hours on the internet.
I came from SJB8 and I can say that I will not be returning to it!! If the 4.4 I'm using is a beta then a full stable release will be able to make me a coffee when I wake up in the morning too!!!! It's so far advanced from beta in my eyes that I see it as a stable release.....
However, do a backup of your current install and give 4.4 a spin. The only real way to find out if it suits you is for you to try it

i try omni rom beta #1.. smooth but i cant capture video..and known bug is glicher on some screen..may be you will try it :laugh:
I've also tried cm-11.0-20131225-NIGHTLY-LegacyXperia-anzu ROM and it's working fine for me in 2 days. Problem I have found until yet was with browser, the same as in AORP. Now I have tried with Opera Mini browser and it's working without troubles. Until now was this ROM ok and stable for me.
I tried the Comet Halley 4.4.2 rom like 4 or 5 days ago, but it was generally laggy, so I switched to the AORP.
Better performance, much less laggy (but it's still laggy sometimes), also the google search is kinda bugged and, sometimes, when you are scrolling through search results, will block the entire phone for 0.5 - 1 second every now and then.
Reboot works fine (really FAST), reboot into recovery probably doesn't work (blocks the phone, so I always end up removing the battery).
Everything until now was tested with smartassv2, sio, 240-1400 Mhz
in my option is stable rom for now AORP im using this rom about 6 days and runs very good laggy sometimes battery drain is very good try AORP if you dont like it you can test right now is pretty good roms- AOKP kitkat carbonrom kitkat or default CM11 by mike

Hello nexus 7 users!
I've been using Lollipop roms for quite some time now and I'm having some issues with pretty much every browser I use.
Now I'd like to do a poll to see how many people are having these problems.
Symptoms:
Chrome: scrolling around gives the ow, snap error most of the time.
Firefox: Firefox has crashes when scrolling around.
Stock browser: Browser has stopped when doing random things.
facebook integrated browser: closes and facebook relaunches.
I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one having these issues cause I've experienced them on a bunch of roms (DJL, simpleAOSP and even stock) and yes I've done full wipes every time.
I'm having issues with erratic browser scrolling while typing and autocorrect going haywire when typing in a busy disqus tread.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if it is appropriate to create a new thread, but I really did numerous searches with no luck.
[Spec]
Nexus 7 2013 WIFI(flo)
TWRP 2.8.6
Kernel Glitch for Flo/Deb - r320
(No overlock, No additional drivers)
CM12 Nightly 20150405
gapps itvends.com/gapps/gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip
/Data /Cache=f2fs
/System = ext4
[Phenomenon]
1. Chrome page randomly freezes or crashes especially when scrolling.
2. A stream video app called "Dlife" keep giving error code " -2147483648" and cannot play any video. (Youtube etc. are fine.)
(it is a buggy app, maybe nothing to do with android.)
[What I tried]
1. wiping caches
2. uninstalling google "Webview" component
3. changing kernel to fransco, but that overclocked CPU to 1.7Ghz by default and I can't change it, everything seems very fast so I couldn't reproduce the problem before I uninstalled it.
I also tried to shift to ElementalX kernel 3.05, but it seems not to support f2fs so I had to give up.
Because I'm a newbie to all those flash/rom/kernel things, I can't determine whether this issue is related to OS or kernel or Apps.
Any advices will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
its not you my Galaxy s3 freezes a lot on certain web pages as well with chrome, stock browser is just fine, I use chrome beta. for a while chrome would freeze on the mobile site of XDA and the page would crash, I just used the desktop site since then and no issues. I have a feeling its just something to do with chrome.

Thanks for your reply.
I also tried flashing to another 5.1ROM and increased chrome memory quota with no luck.
It's maybe not "freeze" but "lag", just not responding for 2-3 seconds.
I'll be waiting for CM12.1 or just shift to firefox etc.
After installed Chrome as a system app by flashing PA GApps mini + Chrome module,
I somewhat feel chrome is becoming more smooth, but I'm not sure.
The latest version is flashed so there is no update installed so far.
Hi everyone. Let's see if you can help me with this: I've noticed that with Chrome, CAF browser and other browsers (Firefox doesn't) it gets freeze for a few seconds when scrolling. It is quite annoying.
I've noticed this with AOSP (CM13, candysix...) or custom stock roms. Has anyone a solution for this???
Thank you in advance!
Hello everyone,
I'm using H2OS Beta 7/8, the browsers I've tried is too laggy (chrome, Opera, cm, and some more), I have the same problem with all browsers.
I had the same lag with OOS as well, do you also have lag with browser?
I know it's not connection, as download speed is pretty fast.
So could you share your experience with browsers?
Which one do you use? Is it fast?
Suggest me a fast browser, please

On the Nexus 9, (which doesn't have enough resources out of the box,) I used Habit Browser as it was way less resource hungry than chrome. Still use it to this day on all my devices. I cant comment on speed as chrome is fine on my OP3 also.
