Hi, developers.
I think that maybe we are losing focus on building a stable and nearly all-functional version of android for kaiser.
Everyone of us has a new app, new feature, requiring an all new mod or version to be installed. We are just replicating the millions of flavours of linux.
That means different energies that, in my opinion, could be collate in one or two major version. This is the spirit of open source community and xda community.
Why simply stopping developping hundreds of mods, backgrounds, subversiones, etc. etc. and focalize on making camera working ? And voice search ? The new google voice maps uses it and having it fully working should be awesome.
Thanks for attention. Just my 2 cents, as someone said

Myn's Donut is 100% working as far as I know. There are bugs still, but everything works.
The problem with a lot of Android builds is that they focus too much on a customized UI, rather then fixing existing issues and improving stability and performance.

its the same as in WIMO dev. builds are easy. you take the tree and add some tweaks or themes or apps.
fixing problems requires work on the kernal and experience. dont complain about current status unless you intend to do something about it. the people releasing builds usually dont dev the kernal. i know i cant do either.
donate money (to dzo) or do some work or quit complaining
BTW if you spend time reading you would know that there are only two major trees. MOST come from cmod 5.0.7 and mmissions work porting them. wyn seems to be using another branch closer connected to his donut work.
Constructive criticism is not the same as criticism. For example, this thread expresses the concern over charging.
There lots of developers who deserve praise and more, and then there's people who like to put Donate buttons in their sig for no good reason. Not pointing out anyone.

I have seen a number of threads comparing and analyzing the different ROMs. I have extensively used two of the leading contenders for "best GB ROM" - Deck's GB ROM (1.2 stable released yesterday) and Vaelpak 0.2.1 (released a few days ago). Here is a list of pros and cons that I noticed - I may have missed some so please jump in and add to the list in this thread. Maybe we can put together a comprehensive list of differences (knowing, of course, that it is always a moving target).
Please note that I ran both ROMs with Tiamat 4.0.5-sbc kernel. Results may be different with different kernels.
Also, by no means am I saying that these are the best ROMs out there. These are just the two that I have extensively used and can therefore compare/contrast first hand.
So here goes ...
Deck's GB ROM v1.2
1. Minimalist and lightweight ROM - default Android Launcher.
2. Minimalist themes, no special wallpapers, fonts, icons, etc.
3. GPS works out of the box (was a problem with earlier versions of the ROM).
4. Wifi, BT and 4G work without issues, except ...
5. Wireless tethering works, but sometimes stops playing well with 4G. i.e. you will be tethered, and even with 4G on you will be getting 3G speeds. This is not consistent behavior - sometimes tethering works great with 4G.
6. I have not experienced any wakelock issues.
7. About 10% more battery life with Tiamat kernal than Vaelpak.
8. ROM is very stable - very few app FCs, practically no reboots.
9. Netflix works.
Vaelpak 0.2.1
1. Comes packaged with Go Launcher.
2. More inbuilt themes, wallpapers, fonts, widgets.
3. GPS, Wifi, BT, 4G and tethering work without any issues.
4. Less stable than Deck's ROM (Note - the developer does explicitly state that this is a work-in-progress, so things should improve on this front). There are some random reboots, wakelock issues.
5. Comes packaged with CPU profiles and undervolting scripts. You can underclock/overclock and undervolt without SetCPU or vipermod scripts. A big plus. (Note - it is possible to do all of this on Deck's ROM, just needs a few additional steps by the user).
6. Comes packaged with DT apps2sd. Again, a big convenience removing the need to do this manually.
7. Packaged email app does not support "Select All". Had to point this out since it is a rather big negative for me. (Note - this is in the dev's list of planned enhancements).
8. No packaged FM radio app.
9. Netflix works.
So in essence, as of today the Deck ROM is more stable and "safer", but Vaelpak has enough packed in features to make it quite formidable.
Default launcher in Decks is ADW (free), I believe.

The default launcher in Decks is Launcher 2.
I tried out Vaelpack preview last week and it was really nice but lacks a few things i enjoy. Deck as striped the rom to the point that you have to install a lot more then desired. Both are great roms hand down. I'm just going to wait for VP to get a more stable beta going and once he adds the theme chooser i might just jump ship
i would have to say deck because he updates his thread alot and always adds new things.
im not 100% on this but when was the last time Vaelek put out a new rom or updates his previous work?

Actually Vaelek's GB ROM (Vaelpak4 v0.2) was released on May 31, and v0.2.1 was released June 20. He is also very active on his forum, and maintains a public list of items/fixes that he is currently working on. Very informative, and will give you a great picture of what is coming soon.
Having not used either, but being familiar with both Dev's ROMs, I can say right now Decks, because it's been out longer and had more testing, etc.
I didn't know Vaelpak was putting a GB ROM together, but I promise you, when he get's it finalized, it will be amazing.
His Senseless ROM was a daily driver for me for a long time. Every detail gets paid attention to in his ROMs.

VP hands down
many vpgb .2.1 preview (not even beta yet) users like myself, who read and ask for solutions find them simply and as a result find this current version of the preview to be very stable and very quick, plus it looks great. i can't wait til it actually hits the beta stage because right now it is more final than a lot of final roms i've used.
ropodope
Vaelpak! Any arguments that the developer hasn't updated or anything like that are mostly incorrect. He just hasn't updated anything on XDA, because he's not on XDA anymore. He runs his own site and his own forum, and he's very active there.
Heck, try them both for a few days and see which YOU like best. They're free.
you didn't? any look at his official forum would have told you this some time ago. come on over, get involved. http://www.vaelek.com

I used Deck's for a while and later switched to Vaelpak's. I like Vaelpak's much more because of its features and community. Even though it's in its preview stage, it is VERY stable. The community is so responsive and helpful. Another thing is that Deck finished his ROM, Vaelpak started just like 2 months ago and already has a beast of a ROM.
Just to chime in here...
XDA does have a massive user base yes. But with that, comes a massive idiot base, over-inflated egos, and too many people that can't be bothered to read an OP in its entirety.. I do come back to post here when there is something worth posting about. The users at my forum are MUCH more well mannered and helpful overall. If you want to be told to search, RTFM, stop being a noob, read through 300 pages to find the answer, then XDA is the place to be. The main reason there is no post for my GB preview here is because as of right now there is no public source available and I don't need the XDA police breathing down my neck or editing my posts because of it.
On another note, thanks for the props to those that have been giving them to my preview
VP is the best. Jim you are the best in my book

THIS
Head over to Vaelek's forums if there was doubt in if his work is supported and ongoing. Extremely responsive on his forums, you would be hard pressed to find any lengthy span of days where Vaelek hasn't answered questions or posted fixes to issues brought up in the forums on his site. The guy is machine constantly helping out his user base.
Now for the roms, I actually originally suggested to vaelek using Decks rom as base for his work (but there is no public source). Decks rom is great but the added features and amazing dev support is what keeps me going back to Vaelpak roms.
I've searched, trawled and read through so many threads and cannot make my mind up which way to turn (I'm so indecisive). There is so much choice (which is a good thing in some ways and not so good in others) but it's confused the hell out of me. I could flash various ROM's and kernels all the while having to restore my data each time and run it for a while to see if it is suitable for my needs. This seems to the moderators general consensus for those asking what the 'best ROM' is (Understandable). But this (having to flash ROM's and kernels each time) is tedious and there is always some element of risk that you could end up with a bad flash the more you do this.
So here I am asking. Please note I am *NOT* asking which the best overall ROM is. I understand perfectly well that there is no best ROM and each ROM has different functionality and features that are suited to different peoples needs. I am asking which ROM suits *MY* needs. If moderators decide that I am asking what is the best ROM then I guess I will have to try harder to argue my case.
I don't mind if it's GB, ICS or JB - obviously I would *LOVE* to have a JB ROM but it's still in its infancy and has certain issues simply because there is and never will be an official JB ROM for my phone (Thanks Sony!).
My current setup is a 2011 Arc S currently running JJ Hybrid 3.1 (still) and ArcKnight kernel (forget which build).
I am not overly interested in fancy GUI's, themes, extra functionality or overclocking, although it would nice to have them 'just so long as they don't impact on performance and stability'.
Things I want.
#Rooted with CWM is a given obviously
#As lag free as possible (It takes several seconds to launch Contacts at present and laggy key presses in the phone dialer annoy)
#Good battery performance
#Increased memory
#Bloatware removed
#Removal of or fixed/tweaked default apps (For some reason the default browser sucks CPU/battery dry and I have disabled it on current ROM).
#Smooth 720p video (is this even possible either in the FW or through a mod?)
#Good camera performance (Use a mod?)
#Status bar with quick toggles and notifications
#Good WIFI, 2G,3G/HSDPA performance (especially if 3G is tweaked as I get poor signal in some places)
#Bravia engine (1 or 2?)
#Correctly functioning hardware including LED's/Side LED/Buttons/Sensors (brightness, rotation etc)
#STABILITY (as little bugs as possible basically)
#Easy upgrade path between builds (not having to wipe data each time although I realize this is sometimes required)
#WIFI tethering
I don't care much for HDMI output but if it works it's a bonus. Things like USB OTG and USB mass storage would also be useful but not essential.
I think that's all of it. If moderators still feel this is a 'best ROM' thread feel free to contact me privately to cast your warnings. Hopefully though they will see this is a bit more specific than that and actually asks more pertinent questions rather than a blanket 'which ROM is best' question.
Thanks for reading
I can't comment on a rom, but for camera, most definitely Cybershot mod . Pictures look amazing

Thanks. I will look into it. Seems it's only for ICS ROM's but if there is an ICS ROM that meets the above criteria I will check it out.
For me, right no, Atomic Gb 3.0 Xtreme Silencer is going to update it to 3.1 now, so u can flash it. It is the most complete ROM now for me, with almost everything u said in ur list
Download it here
Hi.
While this may not be a best ROM thread as you say, its just as equally annoying. You've listed what most of us want from a ROM, and as you say you've read this that and the other then its time to pick one and flash it. If you think the process of flashing custom ROMs is tedious then learn how to mod, tweak a stock ROM to your own liking then you won't need to rely on others to tell you what to flash.

Did u read that? Flash and test yourself
We can't say, what fits you, we don't know your life. You know it the best, you should find the perfect one.
XDA is not a place, where people are slaves, stop being lazy and do something yourself aswell.
Look at ROM's overviews, features, functions, read comments (if you want to know more about the ROM) etc.
Try them, put them to the test in regular usage. Then you find one. We can't say, which one is good for you.
yeah he is right!
Atomic Gb is awesome !
xtremesilencer has done some great work to make it!
ohhh wait a min!
i am xtremesilencer that was a joke
and if you want to know about a rom then go to the thread or check the feedback
dont open new new threads !!!!!
I'm on ICS because of the mobile data manager (built in, doesn't work on gb) as i have a limited data plan.
I'm right now on the xperia t rom, it is really great, the battery lasts up to two days. (3-4 hours display on, around 10h mobile data and wifi is always on).
Using the stock 587 kernel. Never had such an amazing battery life
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
Whilst I understand the sentiment of 'try them for yourself' and 'you are just being lazy' and 'read the comments' etc. It takes *TIME* I don't need overclocking. I don't need all the fancy themes. I don't need a ton of tweaks other than those that meet the basic requirements I have listed.
As I said whilst there is a healthy development community on this particular device, it is hard work to find the right ROM. I have to go through the list of ROMS, kernels and mods in the thread stickied in 'General' (I noticed at least one ROM is missing from that list btw). On the whole it does not tell me a lot other than name, ROM, base (GB, ICS, JB) and then you have to spend a lot of time trying to find out all the info about the ROM by going to the ROM's thread, read about it's features, how to install it, which kernels work best with it, how to fix, patch or workaround any problems found (usually buried deeper into the thread with sometimes 'hundreds' of replies so you might not know about the patches and workarounds until you actually install it and when you ask in the thread someone says it was mentioned earlier in the thread which you now have to search through) etc etc ad nauseam.
I'm just looking for a shortlist of ROM's to try based on others opinions that meet my criteria.
I do also believe that there should be a sticky that instead of ostracizing members for asking 'which is the best ROM' as there currently is (which I know can be annoying for the moderators) instead should offer opinions and experiences. Which ROM's offer which features and how well they perform and yes, perhaps even a poll.
This would be the 'go to' thread for all those people (including myself) who are stuck for choice.
But perhaps this is too much work (I guess you could say to me I should do it then and keep it updated since I am so interested in it)...
The forum is chaotic as it is. But this is the nature of forums.

Unfortunately, that's what most people would have to go through to actually find a rom that they would stick with. Luckily I tried 1 and never moved away because it was suffice. Here's a list to shorten the task, tremendously for you
Ultimate HD
Beautiful ICS
Jelly Sandwich - I've been using this one for months without changing. I'd recommend version 7.4 as it's stable and anything version 8 and above are a hassle to install and have ugly icons =/
Atomic GB - The only gingerbread based rom listed as opposed to ics so bear in mind the cybershot wouldn't work
I can't really comment on any of these roms' 'personal sufficiency' other than jelly sandwich, but these are the ones I would test if I were you good luck
well XDA is a dev site where devs share their creations for each other, they're not obliged to put them up here and frankly it takes a billion times more work to make a rom than to look through the ROM threads
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
Xperia T ROM is the way to go!
I too was in the same state 3-4 months back and all I wanted was a stable & smooth ROM (better than stock, of course). So, I went thro most of the threads and based on the feedback of many, I narrowed down on Ultimate HD. Sure its a better ROM and I was happy using it for close to 2 months. But after prolonged usage, it started to lag. Only then, I started experimenting with multiple ROMs.
There are ROM u would start hating it immediately after installing it and there are which will make u to stick with it for a while. After testing bunch of ROMs, I finally landed on Xperia T ROM. Its not the most talked about ROM around, but definitely has its own fan following and Im definitely going to be one among them. It has all the MODs that I wanted (toggles, latest apps, cybershot, small apps etc...) and yet it offered smoothness and free RAM of close to 100 MB. Most importantly, it offered loads of options while installing (in Aroma Installer). So, you can pick and choose whatever u want. It is one of the few ROMs wherein Sound Enhancements in Walkman player and Online mode in Album works out of the box without any tweaking!
So, I suggest you to give it a shot. Im sure u wont regret it
Hmm. Just read that T ROM has broken wifi tethering. Also read that AOSP ROM's don't have in call mute? It's quite a bit involved installing that ROM by the look of things too. I will monitor the thread for a while though and ask about the in call mute feature.
Sometimes, it's not about the ROM, it's the mods you flash on the ROM. I have been using stock ROM for quite some time and I have flashed a few mods to tweak and improve the stock ROM. You can go to the Themes and Apps section to find these kind of mods.

AW: [Q] Which ROM offers the following?
Use the stock rom and flash mods you want..
Your mixing everyrthing up, battery and performance, perfect stability and design....
Ok first off I do hope I'm placing this in the correct section as I am asking a question.
Second I've searched enough threads to know thats a terrible question to ask "what is the best rom..."
So here goes... I am planning on flashing a new rom sometime this week and I'm open to anything out there. I will most likely try a good portion of them and form my opinion of them. However before doing so, I want to get the opinions of the users who has these custom roms. There is no right or wrong answers, I just want to gather a quick summary without plundering and pillaging through all the pages of all the custom roms out there. I'll try to keep it updated in the OP for a summary of the ROMs that people came back with answers to.
Thanks in advanced!!
ROMS
1) Looking at the guides, I stumbled across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27745461&postcount=2
Is there any more Roms to the S3 aside than these ones?
2) What were your experiences with these roms?
Name of rom used:
Base on(ICS,JB,AOSP/AOKP etc):
Version:
Why did you choose it:
Improvements over Stock ICS:
What are the strengths of the rom (stability, battery life, lagless, etc):
Short comings, weaknesses and areas to improve (even if its nightly, i understand theres lots to improve on):
Type of kernel and why:
Secondary Rom choice and why:

Answer to 2:
I'd rather not answer this as it is so highly dependant on the user's end. A ROM can work beautifully well on someone's phone and work like **** on someone's else. Same goes for kernels and settings.
You're probably already know this but look them up, maybe even try them. But mainly, look at their OP, features, FAQs, to know if the ROM suits your needs. Also, going through the last 10-15 pages of the ROM's thread will enlight you towards whether it's for you or not.

Just a curiousity...do you know why only those roms were selected on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27745461&postcount=2 guide?
As for question 2. I understand opinions can vary, i tried to use the stock as a benchmark instead of comparing other roms with other roms.
Of course i will go to each thread, read through the OP and last few pages . But I thought I'd ask the people of xda concurrently.
Having said all that I noticed you using AOKP 4.2.1 and Kernel: KT747.
In your opinion how do you find them compared to stock? What do you like and dislike about it?

Can't really compare to stock as I flashed it before the phone was fully out of the box.
It's running well on my side but I have my personal mods, which I could apply to anything I'm running. It's stable and smooth (once again with my mods) and can't really comment on the UI as I use a theme and uccw a lot.
The kernel is mainly cause it offers me more freedom when it comes to mods than stock kernel.
I can't say there's a downside other than 4.2.1 has known bugs (which isn't ROM related). Like the BT audio streaming that is borked.

Fair enough.
What kind of mods did you look into to make your phone perform the way you want it to? And what did those mod help you accomplish?
Thread Closed, OP just test the ROMs and you can figure what is best for you, Thank You.
Hi guys, this is my first post... I'm pretty new with flashing, and seems like even our 2010 phone has a sea of ROMs. I don't know how to choose a ROM, and I cannot find people that know how to help me, so...i'm writing here
Actually i'm running Andromadus Slim Bean, i've tried sense minima (laggy and buggy), cyankat (a lil' slow, but may be caused of what i've installed), PureKat ('till 2.0 -beta 1, because it was way TOO buggy -i'm waiting the 4.0-).
This is my main device, and I use it everyday. I don't need the best looking rom, just the best compromise beetween stability and speed (the speed has priority), and I don't know what to pick.
So yeah, i'm asking you a suggestion, hoping this doesn't violates the rules. Thank you c:

Hey, glad to see you trying a out first, this is the way to do it! Unfortunately best ROM threads are against the rules here at xda so I will point you to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
Here you will find all the options for this phone organized by android version and color coded by base type
If you want pure stability I would say gingerbread for this phone will always be best but you will find plenty of newer ROMs that run great too
I put together cyan mobile for this phone and maybe I'm biased but it is about as stable, fast, and feature rich as gingerbread goes with great battery life. aint the prettiest though! You'll find it in the GB section, second link
Hope you find something you like!
Thread closed - as the above post states, ROM comparisons/recommendations are not allowed.
Since there is a link in tha above post too, I'll leave you to explore that.
Thanks
