Are you looking for Touchwiz or AOSP based ROMs?

I just got the phone last week, so im new to what ROM's are out there for the phone.. Whats the difference between Touchwiz and AOSP?

I am running CM10.1 (the most recent 'stable' build)
I've been running said rom non-stop since saturday and I have noticed no bugs thus far.
If anything it seems faster and more stable than stock touchwiz.
most noticeably my battery lasts WAY longer than it used to.
Just make sure you flash the right way, with the correct Gapps
I flashed the CM first by itself, then after it booted up successfully I went back and flashed Gapps separately.
Good luck and have fun!
I'm a noob so I can't post links... but get . cm is the site for the cm zip download,
and google gapps and it should be the first thing that pops up.

All of the roms are pretty stable, the best way to find one to your liking is to browse the development forum, read the ops of the roms and find some that are to your liking and try them all out. Everybody wants different things from their phone, so asking what's the best/most stable Rom is like asking what the best sandwich is for your tastes, just gotta try them out and decide for yourself... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: good luck in finding songwriting that suits your needs

Touchwiz is more of Samsung's addition to Android. AOSP is considered a fuller Google experience. For a stable AOSP ROM, your best bet would to be start out with CM10.1. CM10.1, an AOSP ROM, is much smoother than the S3's stock Touchwiz ROM. It runs much quicker and it often has better battery life. However, with AOSP ROMs, you lose Touchwiz features, such as "Smart Stay". You will most likely have to flash quite a few ROMs before you find one you like. I would suggest starting out by flashing the M snapshot of CM10.1 which can be downloaded here. Also, do not forget to flash the 4.2.1 gapps which you can get here. I am assuming you are rooted with a custom recovery installed. If this is the case, just look around in the dev section and you will find many tutorials giving step by step instructions how to flash specific ROMs. CM10.1 is now considerably stable and is fine for daily use.
Pros of Touchwiz: Has many nice features that make a more friendly user experience.
Cons of Touchwiz: Stock ROM is bloated. Often slower than an AOSP ROM. Usually has worse battery life than an AOSP ROM.
Pros of AOSP ROMs: Smoother user experience. Better battery life. Full Google experience. Developers often update these ROMs faster.
Cons of AOSP ROMs: Does not have as many features as Touchwiz.

Aosp is also a lot more customizable.
I consider my phone to be pretty great looking.
And it's pretty stock lol

Most of the roms on this forum are quite stable. Just read the first couple posts of the thread then read at least the last 10 pages. That'll give you a pretty good idea of any problems that may arise. But apart from that, it's really just a matter of preference. Some roms may do certain things that others don't. TW roms and AOSP-based roms are fairly different. AOSP-type roms are usually less bloated and therefore quicker however, TW roms can be just as smooth. My personal preferences for each type are:
AOSP: CM 10.1
TW: Goodness Rom (on team-nocturnal forums, also my absolute favorite thus far) or The People's Rom

The way the phone is right now isn't stable enough?

@OP, this thread will most likely get closed because you will have a different meaning of "stable" and what makes a rom good as well. No one but you can know yadda yadda, long story short -> Just flash roms that have nice screenshots and try out as many as you can

[Q] Fastest thing in Galaxy Nexus

Hi!
Do you know what ROM is the fastest (with better performance) for our Nexus? I don't care if it is Stock or Custom, all I want is the better performance/battery life rom possible.
I am now with CM11 unoficial by playfulgod and I like it because it is 4.4, but the phone takes too long to open the apps and lags a little bit in fast transactions....
EDIT: I also don't care about the version, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, anything... the changes are minimal from 4.1 to 4.3 and 4.4 has its pros and cons

Flash and find out. Thats your best option.

Edit: Wrong section. Sorry. How the h*ll did i end up in Galaxy Nexus section.

I'm using CM official nightlies and find it quite good. I found 4.3 faster but like others have said it's a case of trying different rom / kernel combinations. What works well for me night not be much good for you and vice versa. A lot of different factors come into play. Apps used, background apps etc.

all roms give the fastest and good performance.. its all depend on you.
so far after 1 week experiments.
i use gnex + extended battery + slimkat 4.4.1 + A.S.K.P kernel + odexed + run perfomance scripts + tweak build prop = superb. already 4 hour screen on... with over 50% balance battery..

I have just flashed Gummy's 4.4 rom just trying it out from BelieveRom. I was looking for something faster with some of the new features and this had most of them. Real smooth so far with steady battery use on stock kernel. Will try some other kernels to see if it will add the butter.

I'm running swordrune10's cm11 its pretty good

Care to lay out all the tweaked build prop, performance scripts? How big is this extended battery? Is it the one from Verizon that Samsung made or is it one of those big 3,000+ sized ones that makes the phone super thick? seeing 4 hours of screen on time and only half battery used seems too good to be true.

thanks guys!
I will try a few roms here and give you the feedback later

The performance were only good on 4.1.2

im use the super big extended battery.. 4000 mah.. its big but worth it.
i dont like to use power bank as alternative.
im using pure performance™ scripts.. but carefull in scripting, it may cause overwrite the existing build.prop.
additional of using performance control. apk> download from fdroid repo. its seem to be easy to use for tweaking ram performance. especially for noob likes me.
sorry for my bad english..

Thats pretty nice. It seems way big for me though. I'm not a make the phones a slim as you can kind of person, but i do like a happy medium.

Vanir is pretty smooth and fast. Battery isn't greatest but performance kicks ass on my toro. 4.4 flies but still has black boxes

Yes, Vanir is very smooth. But the most important is to install custom kernel. For now the best are ASKP and Mpokang SuperRAM. If you install one of these kernels, i think every ROM will be smooth.
I suggest to try MetalOmni - very fast 4.4 ROM.

ITS ALL YOUR OPINION. FLASH AND FIND OUT. These threads arent even allowed. And on top of that: how would you feel if you had put alot of effort into making a ROM and people dont like it because its "slow". Just try and find out seriously. Youre maybe the 100th with this thread. This will probably be closed in a couple of days.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app

well, then I will have to flash all the roms there are to see for myself which one is the best in terms of speed. considering that there are at least 5 different roms just for 4.4 and for 4.3 (and previous) there are much more roms... I would need to flash about 20 roms (or more) and test them at least a day or two to see which ones are better... By my calculations, I will need at least 1 month. Considering that android isn't my life, I have many other things more important to do, I will spend more than a month doing that testing thing...
So, do you really think I can test them all for myself? Shouldn't I ask here for names of the best roms in terms of speed that many members have tested? This way I will only test the 3/4 most mentioned, not the all 20. I know that the developers do a lot of work in their roms, but there are ones better than others for many things, I don't think the developer of rom X would mind if I prefer the rom Y from other developer because it is faster. Maybe the rom X has more options and other things, but lacks in speed, so the developer of rom X isn't interested in making a rom for speed, it isn't inferior to the other rom, just different.
If this thread is locked, even finding it unfair and kind of stupid, I don't really care. I already got a few opinions and I'm testing some roms here. Thanks a lot for the ones who helped me and aswered this thread.

Well, you got me curious.
I am currently testing SlimKat ROM and it looks fast enough for me.
Unfortunaly, it's still on beta (4.4 KitKat), so you might expect a few bugs.
Still, it's a good ROM, in my opinion.

[Q] help me choose a ROM

I need some help choosing a new rom. This would be my first custom ROM on my GN2.
Currently in running 4.3 stock and it has terrible battery life and is slow. Stock 4.1.2 was actually way better.
What I'm looking for is:
- touchwiz features. I don't want to lose s-pen
- stable for DD usage
- good battery life. At least a day on moderate usage
- good performance. At least equivalent to stock 4.1.2 or better
- note 3 features would be nice but not a requirement
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks

You just need to test each and see what you like. Go see development thread and test some.
Touch wiz ones are MeanBean,sky note,ditto, stock 4.3 rooted,alliance

My votes for Mean Bean....
But agree with eZ,,,, No one but yo,u will know if your satisfied with it.
And no one will be running the phone the same way you do, ie: sames apps, same wireless use, same texting, on and on and on.

Research and see what best suits what you want. If you are looking for stability then a stock based rom would be best. If want more vanilla android the a CM based rom is best. Its all about what you want. I personally use the Jedi Roms cause I like the stock stability with the extras thrown in

Agree with all of the above.. Gotta test and see....
I am on Ditto Note 3 with Agni Kernel and it's smokin' hot! Blazing fast and great battery life.
But still you gotta test them out for yourself.

I would say MIUI, after testing many many ROMS which all in the end was quite a like i found MIUI roms to be devoted to appearance and (perhaps mere coincidence) better battery time.
This is really not a question others can answer for you, as eZ says, test and see, you will in the end find a sweetspot.

Miui= ijunk look/Crapple IMHO
What's best there's no best like all the previous posters told you.

[Q] Recommend a ROM!

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) on which I have installed Task650's AOKP ROM. I like the ROM, but as of a few months ago it is no longer supported by its developer. I've looked in the development forum, but the number of available Roms is pretty overwhelming, and I have no idea how to tell which ones are new and unproven and which ones are mature and stable.
What I look for in a ROM:
* stability
* battery life
* more devs = better (less likely the ROM will become unsupported, issues get fixed quicker)
What do you guys use / recommend?
(I'm super sorry if this kind of thread is inappropriate, I had no idea)

ROMs do not determine battery life unless something is broken. Your settings/setup/signal/syncs/apps/brightness all determine battery life. At best some kernel adjustments can be made to kill a battery or save it at the cost of some performance..again that is part of your setup. Go in development, look for the ROMs on the first page, those are the most popular...which is the same answers you will get here. Now look for the ones that are the oldest with the most changelogs...those are the ones that have been updated the most...then narrow it down to which features or theme that appeal to you most. Then try it for a few days. This way you can be sure to find the BEST ROM for you.

I am new to flashing but in the past two weeks I have tried few different Kk4.4.4 ROMs. I have found that all have issues with camera app crashing on GS3 i747m. I dont know why this is such a common problem. I have tried Liquid, Omni, Carbon, Cyanogenmod 11 nightly. All recent CM11 nightly have issues with camera freeze/crash, same for the others I have tried. Omni camera was ok, but Skype launching would cause phone to reboot (not everyone uses Skype, but to me camera issues are major fault of GS3 ROMs). So far the only stable I found was CM11 M11-snapshot (d2lte). I didnt try M12 yet, but M11 snapshot is by far most stable from all I tried, no camera crashes, all running smooth and stable. If that helps my current config is
GS3 i747m (Rogers unlocked rooted with CF-Auto_Root)
CM11 M11 snapshot (d2lte)
Philz Touch Recovery 6.48
I use Android L Theme at the moment
Baseband is I747MVLUFNF2
KitKat 4.4.4.

Basically all non TouchWiz roms on the S3 suffer from some sort of stability issues or lack certain features. I briefly tried CM and other AOSP roms and always came back to stock rooted or other various custom TW roms. I'm currently running SR3x 4.0 and it runs awesome and it isn't missing any features that are normally available on the S3.
Other people seem to be OK with a few glitches and like running CM, AOSP or other roms that are closer to stock Android.
It's really up to you an which way you want to go.

[TIPS] Best custom ROM for P6-U06???

Hi guys,
As I am more and more considering trying and eventually moving to some custom ROM like CM11/Carbon/Omni/Paranoid Andoird I just wanted to ask those of you, which are using these ones or just have been on them:
- Which one is most stable from your opinion
- Which one works smooth and have good battery life
- Which one have most tweaks*
*(in fact I was wondering which of them are having the Active Display and also can they all use CM themes?)
- Are these ROMs infact better than the B708_RePack_BbN for example, that I am using now and is it worth it to go on one of them?*
*(As I am using Angel Kernel and I don't know if it is available for them???)
Thanks!

Common guys, someone must have some experience with that! Please, give some opinions!

Okay, so i've tried Omni, Paranoid, and CM11. None of them have battery life as good as the B708, stock roms in my experience have the best battery life. The compatibility of themes and extras for CM11 is very good, and it is highly customisable due to the theme engine which is brilliant. Out of the three, Omni had the best performance for me. I don't think that any of the custom roms were faster than B708, maybe the menus were slightly faster but apps such as snapchat and facebook both performed just as badly on CM11 as they do on B708.
The custom roms are perfectly usable on a daily basis, remember to check the known bugs sections in the ops to see all of the bugs you might find. I do however think that with B708 huawei have made slight tweaks to performance and battery life that just make it an all together better option for our phone, and i enjoy the way the the EMUI simply fits with the hardware of the phone.
The work that the developers has done is amazing, but i think the best you can get from the very poor KV32 processor that huawei has made comes from B708 at the moment, so i would say stick to stock unless you really hate EMUI. Just my own opinion. Hope this helps

Sadly , NO! I'm using OmniRom for 1 year, it has active display which is amazing, But it has no theme engine. of course you can install xposed modules to theme your device, but they dont do theme your device as well as CM theme engine.
Battery life is not good (mine about 18hrs of usual use without gaming).

i used omni Rom too but i dont know i keep allways coming back to stock roms. I used B511 with some tweaks and root for better optimazing. i had that rom for some time. now am using 708 repacked with KangVIP tools, its really greate. its very good Rom but it's not very good with battery life like B511.
i prefere using stock roms with root and some apps to get better performance.
