I know this is a noob question as stated by the title but, I'm on the cm9 rom and the battery life is terrible. I am considering flashing a kernel but which kernel would be the best for battery life? I usually just use the kernel that comes with the rom so I'm new to this. Also Iknow this is a similar question to "which rom is the best" to which people would just reply try them out its different for each phone. If you feel this way just post your experience with a cm9 custom kernel. They don't have a list of features like rom do. Please excuse any errors in grammer and spelling
I know you are noob ill go easy on you this time and as stated in other posts about the very same topic plenty of times before with Kernels Roms ect. there is no best its just whatever works best for you there are only a few to choose from now so flash 1 a day and see which one works best for YOU thats what the focus cause we all use our phones differently.

Nice answer K3vin. Exactly this plus EVERY phone is different and EVERY user is different using his phone differently. So whether ROM or kernel every one is different depending on how you use your phone. They all have great battery life and it is often the user or an offending app that causes bad battery life. The DEVS here are great and will not release something that sucks your battery dry.
There seem to be quite an assortment of ROMs to choose from for my Desire Z.
I have had my phone for about 5 months, and am still running stock (SHAME!)
Which ROM would you recommend I load?
Also, is there a nice free backup utility you'd recommend I use to backup all my files and contacts?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor

Titanium Back-up.
And what do you use your phone for most of the time, or just try the various roms and see which one fits you.
This question gets asked once or twice a week. Just use the search function, and you will find many threads on this same subject.
There is no "best" ROM. Its like asking "What is the best car?". It depends on what you expect to use it for, features, personal tastes, looks, etc. And just because there is a popular choice, or somebody may give your their opinion of what they like best, doesn't mean that you will agree.
Saying one ROM is best or better compared to others, is belittling to the developers that work so hard to cook custom ROMs and post them here for us. They each have their own benefits in their own ways. So do yourself a favor, search and browse, read up on the features of the ROMs, then try a few out and make your own decision based on what works best for YOU.
As redpoint already stated, there is no such thing as a single, best rom.
However the thread My opinion in ROMs is a good place to start reading up on all the different roms currently in circulation. The op hasn't been updated since March 5th, but it still provides a nice overview over the differences and features of the roms.

Keeping in mind, that particular thread is just one person's opinion. And one I find far from unbiased. He admits for a couple ROMs that he only spend 10 to 30 minutes with them. Which is not even enough to let the ROM "settle in" and show it true performance, much less giving it a real chance.
A decent starting point as any, I suppose. Since he reviews a large number of the ROMs available. But definitely read other threads and get other opinions also.
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.

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.

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

Hello, my name is Shahin. I am getting a Sprint SGSIII soon. I would like to know a few things.
First of all, i would like to know how stable aosp/aokp/etc (non touchwhiz) is.
second, What is the most stable OC kernel for 4.2.1 what is the max safe OC
third what roms does it work with
and fourth, any recommendations on roms?
Thanks in advance
also, any other advice? im coming from the E4GT... from boost mobile. also i had a ZTE Warp. thanks again
The first thing you should do is check out THIS thread. As for advice on Roms, that's all subjective. What I mean is that there are a lot of variables. How you use your Rom. What you like ? AOSP, TW, AOKP, CM,.... As for the Kernel question, it depends on what Rom choice you make. How high you can OC depends partially on your device. Not all devices are the same. One thing to keep in mind is that, just because you can Overclock to lets say 2.1gHz . That does not guarantee that your device will be any smoother, faster, or more stable. In fact on some devices it has the exact opposite effect. Keep in mind that what you want is an overall better performing device.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Galaxy S3. It's a really good phone and I'm sure you'll love it.
As far as your questions:
In my opinion, AOSP is pretty stable. There are some things that have been reported, such as hand-off issues between 4G and 3G, but all-in-all it's stable enough for most users.
This is typically a phone-by-phone and user-by-user type of question. It also depends on which Rom you're running. Some kernels don't play well with some Roms. One of the more popular Kernels on here is Ktoonsez's kernel. Just make sure you download the correct one for the Rom you're using (4.1.x vs 4.2.x, AOSP vs. TW, etc). BMS also is relatively widely used. In terms of overclocking, it really depends on your phone. Some phones handle it better than others. Hard to say what your "optimal" oc speed will be. In my opinion, the processor is powerful enough to handle most everything w/o OC-ing, but others like it extra-smooth.
Any Roms in the Sprint Forum will work with your Sprint GS3. Do not flash international Roms or Mods on this phone. They will, without a doubt, brick your phone and you'll get ridiculed by a majority of XDA. If you want to flash a Rom, just look through the original post and the last 5-10 pages of the thread to see if there are any issues with it.
Rom recommendations are kind of tricky. My setup is shown in my Signature, and I really like it. But there are many different tastes out there and you just have to find the Rom that fits yours.
Other Advice:
XDA can be a finicky community at times (myself included). But despite some snarky responses, we're mostly here to help.
It's always best to do a search before posting a question, and we love people who read through and find what they're looking for.
Hitting the thanks button is always good if someone helps you out.
Have fun flashing!

Are you on Cricket?
I'm not horribly familiar with Cricket, but I've been told that once you get the phone working on the Cricket network, that Sprint Roms will also work for it. CNexus is much more familiar with it than I am.
no, i was just wondering... but thanks for the info.
Yes, you can flash ROMs made for the Sprint version if you are on cricket. Should not mess with whatever flashing procedure you took or whatnot.
But of course, always make a backup
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

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.

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

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.
