best kernel for 4.4 Kit Kat? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm new to the modded Android scene, and I'm curious if anyone knows what the best kernel to run would be for Kit Kat. I'm not even sure of the differences between them all, honestly.

Stock. Always stock from the rom you're running, if you want the best experience. At least from the better roms out there.

Which rom using? Stock or AOSP?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm using the Beanstalk 4.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485628&highlight=facebook). I can't seem to find any kernel there. I do notice that my Google Now function is gone, and it's not syncing my fb with my contact on my phone...any chance this could be due to an improper kernel being used?

Try them all, best is truly in the eye of the beholder, and is subject to the individual.

Best CM rom?

Okay so I see a few CM roms Ive flashed them before but never really kept them. Getting bored of samsung I guess and hoping this will let me want to keep the Note 2, I love EVERYTHING about it except the software. So Which one is the most reliabile and stock that runs quick or as good as a stock touchwiz rom?
Try them and find what you like best. What I like may be different than what someone else likes. I don't like paranoid on this phone, others love it. Its what YOU want.

Whats the reason that you dont like it?
I`m just looking for speed,battery and reliability , I was between that and pac-man`s but I dont want much extras
I don't like it cus it's made for a nexus so it has the on screen menu button in places, it's just not my thing. I like root box, and right now I'm on jedi cm. The batter is really good. I got about 5 hours screen on time today and that's with ingress running for over an hour. That uses lots of battery and gps is on the whole time playing.

Which one is more nexus like? Not meaning the buttons. But more stock android without all the addons people like in cm. Just like pure cm but stable
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium
Go to the original development section and look at the jedi cm rom. It's what your looking for. It's pretty much stock cm with a few nice tweaks. Not as much customization as say liquid or carbon or the others. Pac man and root box and paranoid all have lots of extras I never use.

How good is the office CM`s? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105917
Cause they seem VERY stock.
Yes that is stock cm. I haven't used it though. Just try it out
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
OP, the most reliable stock that runs quick or as good as stock....is Stock, nothing wrong with Stock. But as other pointed out, you will just have test and run, as it seems you have....bottom-line it is all on you, with to many different variables involved from user to user....you have to just test the waters of Stockish ROMs for yourself.
Thanks

Why do all cm10 based roms have so many problems and why do they all look the same ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
What are all the problems? There are quiet a few new ones but many very stable. Someone correct me if I am wrong'but I believe most all use cm as a base ROM. Each has there own features and functions.
I have zero issues with dastins cm, kts AOKP, snipers PAC or PAC in black, gave carbon, slim, and pretty much every other ROM a test drive no issues. Personally I keep going back to PAC love all the features .
It's not hard to flash them, see what fits your desires hardest part, well longest is downloading them and playing with settings. I find myself only staying on one for a few days at a time. Nothing wrong with the ROMs but rather enjoying playing with them and seeing what new goodies they bring to the table.
EDIT: that's kind of like saying all tw ROMs look the same they all have tons of hours of work put into them themed and tweaked to the designers liking but cuz its all tw they all look the same. Just my two cents...

I downloaded a couple of cm based roms and had problems with them and they all kind of look the same tw has some roms that look totally different I was not trying to bash anything I know it takes a long time to make one. I was just wondering if they had something other than cm or tw I am on tw now and I dont have any problems at all just a question thanks

They all look similar because they are AOSP, the same OS you would see on a Nexus product, and not a skinned manufacturer based ROM like Touchwiz, Sense, Blur...

Aaaaaaaaaand that's a wrap. Your question has been answered (undeservingly), and if you would have searched a little more, your answer would have came to you.

C of Paranoid?

I've read a lot of good things about paranoid android rom and I can't decide if I want to switch from cm to it or not. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Dude, it's 100% subjective. Like asking what color should be your favorite. Especially right now, since 4.4 was just released. Try them out & decide which works for YOU. There are 1,000's of review videos if you want to see features & hear opinions.
Personally, I'm sticking with stock for awhile. Then I'll use PA, once it is significantly different from stock, which right now none of them really are, unless you want a 4.3 version. Plus, I prefer AOSP over CAF, so I dumped CM a while ago.

Ur ROM ? Why ? Would u recom.?

So I been using cleanrom from the beginning of 4.4.2 update I find it really amazing piece of work and it is really hard for me to change it. I am a bit lazy to check out the new Roms to tell the truth that's the only ROM so far I have tried on that device been addicted as all of us to room flashing in g4 and get bored with that.
Do I would like to ask you to write ur
ROM version
Reason for using that specific ROM
Would u recommend it
If not lazy ur setup with kernel
Any issues u have with that rom and wish to change it.
Mine so far
CleanROM 2.6
Absolutely no issues have not tried so far other Roms bit that is amazing
Absolutely recommend for using as a daily ROM
Ex 2.6 no of no oc close to stock as possible performance if phenomenal
NP issue the only thing I wish to have is continue work of that ROM bit it is stopped so I wish to stay updated (I know its late but....) And try other Roms if better.

I've been using paranoid android 4.0 w/Franco kernel for the past few months. The 1st rom I tried was cleanrom and it was very good too.

That is the beauty of Nexus devices - flashing a new ROM whenever the urge strikes you is a trivial matter, it is pretty hard to brick a Nexus barring hardware issues. Flash em all and see what you like best, or just gut the stock ROM and mod it to meet your needs and preferences.
And you can use multiRom to flash and boot multiple roms

SlimKat vs. Liquidsmooth

Liquidsmooth was my favorite 4.3 ROM by far. I wanted to make the jump to 4.4 and SlimKat seemed to be the next best thing. I'm currently running SlimKat RC3 and love that PIE is finally back. However, the recently released Liquidsmooth beta has caught my eye. I don't really have time right now to flash both and compare the two, but can anyone tell me if there's anything I'm missing out on? I'm probably gonna end up flashing both anyways but what do you guys think of it so far?

Wanna know which is better?
The one you like the most after trying both.

Yes, but I'd like to know what others think too. Is comparing ROMs looked down upon here? I don't post here that much.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
OK so I ended up flashing Liquidsmooth and really enjoy it so far. There's a few more customization options than SlimKat, and while they're both excellent ROMs, I think this one suits my needs better. There are a few annoying bugs that I'll post about in the developers forum once I reach my ten post requirement but I'm sticking with it as it can only get better.

Sorry folks...we do not do these comparison or best rom threads as XDA is not a support site.
All the products here are awesome, try them all, make your own independent determination as to what suits you.
