I've been running Lifeless ever since I got my phone. Its been good to me and no issues at all. I tried 4.2.2 aosp when it was initially released and had a bad experience.
I'm so confused as to which rom is more stable, which rom I should try.. Carbon, AOKP, PAC, revolt, etc. Plus now with 4.3 out I feel I'm running an old rom now. .
Any advice would be great!
Well first off all lifeless is a stock based rom. We don't have 4.3 for stock yet so you would have to go to aosp for that. And every room you listed is aosp. If you want to stay stock the only other stock based custom rom that I've tried I'd nexOGen 1.6. It is built from zvc which is the same as zvb (which lifeless runs on) except zvc has some performance enhancements, mainly to receiving / holding on to signal. If you want to try aosp again, cyanogenmod is a pretty clean straight aosp build though I have seen lots of people are having issues with data not connecting. I didn't really screw around much with aosp on this phone because stock runs better for me (with a custom kernel anyway lol), so I'm going to leave the aosp for someone else to talk about. Just nandroid the rom your on and give them a shot, each rom runs different on each phone, so YMMV.

I know its stock. And that is what has been keeping from going to AOSP because of hiccups here and there. With my busy life, if something goes wrong, itd be a set back.
I may give nexOgen a try though.
I try to keep a current nandroid every so often. But thanks for the small insight.
Hit the thanks button then

I bought a SGH-T989-D (telus version) and it came rooted with cyanogenmod installed. It was so fast and beautiful but it had many major bugs that made it unusable (call echo, battery life, caller id broken, random restarts). It's been about 4 months so I wanted to see what the most stable roms are.
I'm looking for a rom that is fast and close to stock ICS or maybe jellybean if that's out yet. I'm currently on touchwiz ics but it's not as smooth or snappy as the buggy rom the phone came with was.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is noobish.
This one is stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25363458
Its the stable version of CM 9
And my personal favorite AOKP 7/15 milestone 6

Only issue I have is speaker phone sounds choppy.
As for JB, there is good progress, but not a DD in my IMHO.

The one by BinaryBiship is pretty good. And there's nightly builds so at least you know they're actively updating.

this question gets asked quite a bit and my opinion on the matter(since you asked) is bugs don't seem to pop up for everyone. If the phone you had had issues maybe it was just that version of CM. If you like CM then I would suggest trying a nightly, RC2 or AOKP.
There are different developers that have kanged CM as well so try that. Since what is a bug for one person is not necessarily a bug for others its a trial and error. Anyone can post a link and say this or that is the best but only your real world experience can determine if its your dd= daily driver or not....
I have been running CM9 or AOKP since I got my phone and no issues at all...No radio issues No GPS issue No hot reboot issues... so far nada... Give them all a try thats my opinion
As said earlier, CM9 and AOKP are both great. My only issue with them is that they don't have wifi calling so be wary of that if you need that feature.
Just update to the latest cm9 nightly at get.cm for the Hercules. If you are already on cm9 then make a back up and then wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash cm9 and gapps.

Love the latest by Darkside. Its not pure stock but the latest is speedy, GREAT battery, and solid enough to be my DD ROM ..
Stats in sig. Good luck!
CM9 has come a LONG way these past months and virtually every bug you posted has been fixed. CM9 RC2 has been running beautifully for me for nearly a week and a half now. I recently took the plunge with TDJ's latest Venom kernel and it's been running even smoother. AOSP ROMs may have been buggy in the past but now there really isn't any reason to go back to TW. Unless of course you need wifi calling... but our devs are currently working on that and there are alternatives that allow you to call from wifi (Talkatone, Vonage, GrooveIP). So really, in my opinion, there really is no reason to go back to carrier bloat.
You could always use odin to flash a stock ICS, then root and remove bloat. You'd have a completely stock ICS running stable. As long as you're rooted, you can always flash modifications down the road. If you want a little extra performance but want to still maintain stock as much as possible, you can just flash a modified kernel on top.
Ok, So I've been on a custom ROM (specifically an AOKP based one running jellybean) and damn... I do miss the fluidness of touchwiz and having almost no bugs, which I expect since there isn't no stable release of CM10 yet. I was wondering, have you ever waffled between CM and the stock TouchWiz interface? If so, do you think making the jump back to stock is such a huge deal?

I waffle weekly between AOKP and Ariel...no issues. I keep a good CWM backup of each and when an update for one comes out I update my backup. I run AOKP, start missing smart stay or some other native feature so I load up Ariel for a week or so then I miss the custom-ness of AOKP and I load up that goodness. I've never had a major issue switching back and forth.
Hope that helps.

If you download the "M" versions of CM10, those are the monthly stable builds. I use to run M2 for a while and it was nice, really smooth and mostly no bugs. But I've switched back and forth between TW and Stock builds and I'm staying with stock since 4.2 is coming out Monday, and will hopefully be released to AOSP very soon as well. It's all preference.

I haven't went back to stock since I flashed ParanoidAndroid. 2.5 is pretty stable, but I do miss the stock camera app. At least I have ProCapture. Same as stock.
Edit: I'm on ParanoidKangdroid now. It's pretty awesome.

AOKP for months now. I just like having control over so many functions that you just can't do on stock. But same here I miss the stock camera app.
I can't even begin to tell u how many times I've done that...I was originally stock ICS rooted but had a craving for jb...
So I flashed a aokp ROM (tasks) and it was beautiful...but then I missed the nice pretty tw and switched back only to realize the only thing I missed was the camera...
Its safe to say I am now back to a nice cm10 based paranoidKANGdroid ROM and i don't see myself switching anytime soon

I came from Task/Ktoonez AOKP on my GS2 and flashed it immediately after rooting my GS3. Don't miss TW at bit, of course it is hard to miss something that you've never used . I have never had any problems with either that wasn't of my own fault, or that couldn't be easily fixed and have no plans of changing anytime in the foreseeable future.
I'm not too new to Android. I'm not a developer, just a lover of the system. I hated the stock rom on my SGS3 and rooted and flashed the device to put some new roms on it. I've bounced around from rom to rom. I've settled on the ParanoidAOKPdroid rom.
I have some problems with it being stable (mostly sleep of deaths), but I expect that with any custom rom. So my question to you guys is this, What AOKP rom is the best rom that you've found? What one is the most stable, easiest to use, ect..
I found aokp on my samsung infuse 4g. I used to try a new rom every two weeks or so. Once I installed aokp on my infuse I have not had any real desire to go to any other rom which has xfered to my sgs3. I'm currently using task and ktoonsez's aokp and haven't tried the other ones for the s3 to give you my opinion on them.
Ive used task's aokp before. Its pretty solid and stable. I dont recall getting SOD on his aokp. I would recommend giving it a try.

Yeah, I use task's and toonz AOKP rom as well. Its amazing. Can't go back to TW after this.
I've run AOKP on my past Galaxy Player 5.0, and now I'm using task's AOKP on my GS3. It's really great - a lot of useful new features (which makes it much easier in day-to-day use), it's really fast, but I wouldn't call it quite as stable as touchwiz roms. It's not actually unstable at all, just touchy sometimes. I've never had a sleep of death or anything running task's ROM, usually any funkyness is my fault.
There's a definite learning curve to AOKP, it's a much more "vanilla android" experience than touchwiz but it's worth it. I just make sure I have a backup in TWRP (or CWM if you choose to use it) made frequently while I'm playing with stuff. Get AOKP installed and stable => do a backup. Install some more stuff, get it stable => do a backup, etc. This way you can play with stuff and not worry about breaking anything, you can go right back to where you were if you happen to make it unstable in any way.
Oh, and KT747 kernel is definitely worth a try too. EXCELLENT kernel.
I really dont know If I want to run complete stock or run a rom. I don't like themes unless it was on a HTC phone with sense , but I like pure stock. Is having a rom will I get better performance cause ive ran AnTuTU & and Quadrant and seem to get better results by a little but I know people say not to go by benchmarks. I just want the best Performance and reliability.
Best performance is still subjective without narrowing in on a certain aspect. In the end it all comes down to your perspective of what works best for you in your usage patterns.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
You could try ARHD. It's completely stock look, just changes "under the hood", if you will. Or you could remain with Stock, nothing wrong with that.
Well I do see a benchmark increase when using a ROM but im not sure to belaive it or not. I`m not sure ive been going back in foruth for almost a week now:laugh: I just wanna have something to leave on there lol.
I was using Omega but I dont like the its currently using a leaked 4.1.2 instead of offical 4.1.1
Most of the roms in the rom section are all 4.1.2 anyway. So you would have to be on that firmware if you flash a custom rom.
A little bit of my history. I've flashed a lot of custom roms for this phone and I've always found that I always revert back to stock rom. It's the most stable and battery efficient. There's always a problem with some app which I use which doesn't work when I used a custom rom.
So I gave up and just stuck to stock rom.

Which stock rom would be best?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I have this device for about 2 weeks. Almost flashing everyday from custom to stock and vice versa. Now I am back at Stock Rom and just enjoying the device.
It's better to be in Stock ROM I think when you use a smartphone like Note 2. Stock ROM comes with proper functions that can utilize the hardware properly, specially that S Pen. It's just 7 day I have this device and I tried few ROM but back to stock now.
I rooted my phone with plans to use a custom rom, but after researching the different roms, though they add cool features, they always seem to break something else on your phone, and it seems like you have to spend a lot of time researching, downloading different fixes, just fiddling around with your phone. So I decided not to go that route and just wait for the official ATT updates.

Where are two kinds of ROM for Note: one is based on AOSP (open sources) like CM10, and second – on Samsung sources (aka touchwiz or tw). First one is still a little buggy and don’t have proprietary software like exFat, S-Pen and so on.
ROM based on Samsung sources usually as stable as a stock rom and have all Samsung features.
Most popular are Android Revolution HD & Omega. Also a Hypernote is good, if you want clean installation and 280dpi for more screen real estate.
It is also worth looking at MIUI ROM – today it officially released for Note2 and (as I suggest) based on Samsung ROM.
I know what cm10 is and such I ran it on older phones I couldnt bare cm on the note though. I wad meaning which stock rom is better to use under the stock rom thread? Im on th4 germsny one

I think the Stock rom is a fantastic rom.
I don't root or anything. This phone FLIES by itself, it also offers very good stability. I don't have any crashes whatsoever from the system itself. If it does crash, it's the APP. (ejem ejem... CHROME!) But I don't have issues with the stock ANYTHING. Great phone. I can get more than a full day of use, or 4-5 hours of screen time with regular usage (not downloading torrents or anything like that over 3G. I mean with regular usage, email, chat, FB, some pictures, browsing the web etc etc).
Yea im prob gonna run stock plus root and kernal. But whats the best stock rom to odin? What do you all use?

What stock rom base is the best? I was thinking of using N7100XXALJ3_N7100OXXALJ4
so i installed Cyanogenmod(hood pope) 10.2 based on android 4.3 to my e4gt, but no matter how many different modems i tried, it wouldn't get 3g, so i installed wild for the night unofficial 10.2, based on 4.2.2, and it got 3g but it wouldn't work the gps, it would take a while to lock on and easily lose my location, so i thought when cm official page got some official nightly downloads for the e4gt not long ago it would be better but no difference for my sph-d710, so i gave up and installed rooted ics and left a nandroid of my CM behind just in case i'd go back to it, so now ics works fine but looks horrific, so is there a way to use my CM gui from my nandroid on ics but leaving the system itself(the engine as one might say) as it is so that the features will still work? i really love the CM GUI and features, but since i've got no official support i want to get the looks at least, is this possible?, if so, how do i do it?
sorry for the trouble and thank you for your time.
What modems were you trying? Only ICS modems will work with CyanogenMod, AOSP/AOKP, MIUI, etc. Seems like you were using JB modems.
