best rom that doesn't update so often?

i'm thinking of going with aokp, but it's kinda a "turn off" for me when it comes out with a weekly build and i feel the need to constantly check on the forums and flash to a new one
what's a good one that is just solid that doesn't require a new build update every week?

You can go Aokp because the last stable build is milestone #4 all the other builds that come out are just a nightly.

i understand but having nightly builds makes me feel like i need to constantly upgrade to the newest one

Just... don't update then? If your setup works well just leave it. You can always skip updates.

I'd go with Bamf Paradigm. Uniquely built AOSP rom, stable, and good battery life. Try it for yourself, you'll be amazed
And quality over quantity - no hyper change logs every 4 days, but if you're in for something different, jump in.

if that is such a problem then just flash AOKP Milestones... not AOKP Nightlies + Milestones.
Milestones are for people who don't want to keep updating. These milestones come 1-2 week.
Honestly, if updating a ROM / Kernel is a "turn off" because a developer is maintaining their ROM / kernel at a rate to improve your phone more and more and you don't want to stick with that maybe you should of stayed on stock ROM/kernel? Because this is like me hearing that people are complaining about a dev updating their ROM / kernel way too much.

When you rush through things and do not test enough, you end up missing issues, which ncreases the need to update the rom more frequently.
BAMF Paradigm does not release updates like mad because for every release, we have at least 3-4 testing releases to our beta testers to find and fix bugs. We do not like to consider our users the beta testers.

[Q] AOKP NIGHTLY Jan-10-13 Problems d2att

Hi All,
I have recently installed this build cleanly on an AT&T Galaxy S3 (d2att) build from:
goo im nightlies (sorry - wont let me post link - under 10 posts)
I love this build. The UI mods available and the battery life (which was absolutely amazing) were well done and polished.
One of the big issues I had was that Bluetooth would not turn on at all.
I just wanted to know if this has been disabled (or not implemented yet)?
Thank you all and I look forward to using AOKP in the future. Unfortunately, without this, I had to move back to CM10.1 Nightlies.

Bluetooth turns on for me, I don't use it but for what I hear you can make calls with it. Audio streaming is borked though.

Bluetooth doesn't work on any 4.2 rom yet, AOKP and AOSP (ie. CM10.1).
It's a very known issue.

Sure it does - I am using bluetooth in my car with 4.2.1 (CM 10.1 NIGHTLY Jan 13-13 and previously builds) for some time.
Using it for audio has been laced with issues, like the no bass issue.

Has anybody tried official CM11 nightlies?

Hi,
I am talking about those cm-11-201312??-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=maguro&type=nightly
Maybe something is completely broken there?
Runs faster than CM10.2 stable?

gots it on my toro as of today. wanted to check out the screen record feature/app but cyanogen still says i dont have a device capable of running it lies

Running CM11 Nightly since 7 december.
Everything is working, its stable and smooth.
For my daily use it's ok.
Had only problems with auto-restore, solved with the right gapps package.

Try SlimKat
I tried the CM11 and wasn't impressed. Try the latest SlimKat Beta. I've been running SlimKat since their first Alpha release, and it has improved significantly over the past couple weeks. SlimKat Beta is updated to the latest Android 4.4.1 software which improved the camera's functionality. Only issue remains an occasional random reboot...maybe once per day, if that.

I've been running the nightlies since they became available and I've never had any problems. No reboots, graphic glitches etc.

Using the 1209 nightly, and the stability improved significantly compared to Euroskank's CM11 KitKang. That's all I can say, since performance stays largely the same.

I am running swordrune10's version for toro. I am having some trouble with the wifi switching, google backup/auto install apps on wipe and google play killing my battery but it runs great with art besides those issues.

I can say they work flawlessly. Huge improvement from 4.3, never had a crash / freeze, etc. It does lag a bit on received call, not a major issue for me though.

I've had wifi switching problems since 4.3 dropped. Its ok on CM11 but just barely

CM 11 nightlies since 12-6 have a major issues with LTE. Some users are either not getting it at all or having issues toggling between 3G and 4G in which 4G will not turn back on.

I have been using cm 11 since unofficial alphas and have had very minimal issues. I think the hand off issue fix was merged in the latest nightly as in the one you can flash tomorrow.

CM11 (4.4.2) bluetooth on m7vzw

Hi,
Posting this here since I'm 'new' on xda and don't have enough posts to place this in the dev forum...
I've been running the CM11 builds on my vzw HTC One since the initial unofficial builds were released by flyhalf last month. Generally runs great, very happy using it as my daily driver.
After the 4.4.2 nightlies were released, I ran into the same bluetooth connection bug as everyone else did.
The 12/13 & 12/14 builds weren't working, so I went to an unofficial build from 12/16 that brenuga made available. This build works well and I've had almost no issues with it. I've since tried the official 12/16 release, and BT doesn't work...I would like to jump back to the official builds.
I see the CM nightlies are now up to 12/20. Can anyone confirm that the bluetooth fix is now available in the official nightlies? I've been through the change logs and still see no mention of a fix...
Thanks!

A couple of days ago. BT was rebased on cm-11. Ever since then my metadata in BT (example Pandora data was being sent to radio in my car) has started working. Try a new nightly build. I am pretty possitive they have worked out almost all the bugs now.

Thanks for the info! I had flashed 12/20 a few hours ago and just spent two hours in the car using Pandora over BT, rock solid.
By the way, thank you for your work and contribution. :good:

[Q] Current fastest/most stable ROM?

Just a quick question for everybody! I've been using Liquid Nitro for a while now, but I'm getting a bit frustrated with the occasional spontaneous resets, and how slow it is. What does everyone here use, and what do you think is the best in terms of stability and speed?

Currently I am using sphinx rom. It is snappy ,good on battery, jelly bean. Be sure to apply both patches. I have found the kitkat to be unstable.

You have an LG P930, right? is it this one?

i also use liquid nitro, and tried most other jb,kk roms, but always back to liquid for its stable.
the next stable rom for *my* p930 is cm 10.1.3.

So it's fast, and works with my p930. Is it stable for you (no random restarts?)

It is better then CM, but it still has random reboots. I did not find the reboots to occur as frequently as CM
Nz

So far, after changing the default language from Russian, I am finding Sphinx to be a lot faster and smoother than liquid nitro, though that might be because I don't have all my apps loaded yet. I also just experienced my first random reset (not even 6 hours! not looking good,) which put my phone into a boot loop (it gets to the lock screen, give a "system UI has crashed" error, and reboots,) that I fixed by pulling the battery.
AND SPEAKING OF THE BATTERY my phone now thinks my battery is at ~ %1-%5 power (it was at about %60 when I installed the ROM,) and is constantly telling me to plug it in, and the phone refuses to charge (it won't charge with any cable or wall adapter I have, and won't even recognize when I plug it into a computer.)
In short: lots of problems, but if I can fix them, I will probably keep sphinx.
*Edit: I just went and wiped everything (including battery information) in CWM and installed the "official unofficial" ROM from the same post. It seems so far to be decent (and it's charging the battery!) It's a bit laggy (like the stock ROM, but not as bad a Liquid Nitro got for me.) Tomorrow I will do the full data wipe again (including the battery info) and re-install sphinx to see if it helps.

In my P930, I use the last PAC-ROM, it gets me stability, battery friendly, smooth, it doest get lagged.
It's fully customizable, I recommend it.
The last version I installed is the nightly of 2014-03-28 or so.

Also you should never need to yank battery, just unplug USB then hold Power down for 20 seconds.

Well, it's going (somewhat) well. With the stable release, I haven't had to restart yet, but there are still problems: mainly that the home button doesn't work. along with that, the "cLock" app keeps crashing, and gapps looks like it wasn't installed properly (no gapps except gmail are there, and it doesn't work.) Did you experience any of this with the nightly build you use?
I made doubly sure I installed the correct gapps zip, could it be I have an old version of CWM that's messing it up? I have CWM v6.0.1.5

Installl the gapps core only.
I didn't have any problems with the clock.
You did full swipe?

gapps core? I installed the gapps they linked to in the official thread.
I followed their instructions as well: factory reset, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Never mind! I installed the nightly you said you use (03/29/2014) and it works! I'm loving kitkat. It's being a bit slow right now, but I'm hoping that's because the phone's been downloading the files for GTA 3 since I installed the ROM (and linked my google account) earlier today.

hey, I don't know what is going on, but I'm not finding any of these ROM's to be stable at all. They seem to work alright at first, but once I get my apps back, it all goes down the tubes. Even the Pac ROM, which so far has been the MOST stable, is frustrating to use. I found that my music player (PowerAmp) causes it to be a bit more unstable, but both it and the default music player often crash 'android.process.media' and then I have to reboot my phone.
Along with that, randomly, and frequently, when I try to wake my phone up from sleeping with the power button, the screen will just go black, the buttons will stop responding, and I have to pull the battery. This one is particularly frustrating because this morning my phone tried to turn on the screen to play an alarm and the phone locked up!
I've wiped my phone again and haven't installed any apps. Let's see if the problems still happen.

I've had this phone since it came out. From my experience, ICS ROM's are the most stable, followed by JB ROMS, then KitKat ROMs. If you want the best stability, battery, and for daily use go with either stock ICS or one that's based on stock. The only problem with that is that you miss out on any of the new improvements in JB and KitKat. For daily use, non of the KitKat ROMs are stable enough. Currently, I'm running CM 10.1.3 with Wind Kernel 2.6. It's not as stable as ICS stock. I get random locks/restarts about once or twice a week. It does however offer the best compromise in stability and features/improvement over just running ICS ROMs. Specwise, this phone was ahead of the curve when it came out. But battery and performance issues kept this from being a good phone. Because it's not well used, there's very little support and development for this phone.
