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.

I have it all downloaded and waiting to be flashed just don't want any issues. I'm new to this phone but not her to flashing. Any issues that would make this a bad idea? Is it a asop ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
CM is a customized AOSP. so yes, more or less AOSP.
It's a preview, so it's going to have issues. whether or not it's a bad idea depends on your expectations. all you can do is give it a try.
I just installed it this afternoon. Love it! Haven't had much time to play around with it and figure out what doesn't work, but from what I can tell all of the daily functions of the ROM work. Again, it's still an alpha, so it's up to you to decide if it works well enough
Read the op of the thread. I'm not normally I guy who makes a comment like this. But he mentions the bugs right in the first or second post.
Why create a whole new thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Actually I got the ROM from this other website and the g apps they had it linked there so I never saw the thread. Where is the tread here?

Umm, it's one of the only four ROM's listed in the Development Forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1633
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.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
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
I didn't post this in the development section because I didn't make this rom and I am not affiliated with Jellybam. I just found this when searching around goo.im...
So it looks like we have a new, very cool rom for our device, which virtually no one seems to be using based on their download stats. It is a CM10.1 - Paranoid Android hybrid that has many cool features that I haven't seen on any other rom, certainly for this device. A good example would be the ability to add TW apps to this rom (see the pics).
Rather than me explaining all the features and writing this post like I own the rom (I don't!) you can check out the features here:
And you can download it here
How to Install
Like you would flash any other rom BUT it is different from other aosp roms since you don't have to install gapps - they're included
Please give it a try - it has only been downloaded 39 times for SGH-T889 so far! We don't want these people to think no one is using their rom
Very nice looking ROM. You know bugs for our phone?

It is very much like any of the other aosp roms in terms of bugs. I haven't noticed anything significant and have been running it since Saturday.

They vary from ROM to ROM but sometimes the camera is slow or clunky. Best to read the ROMs thread.

I don't think there are any. If there are I don't notice them anymore . I think some users miss the Touchwiz stuff though. You should have a go on this or one of the other aosp ROMs. It's a very different experience

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.

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.
What is currently considered the best 4.2 ROM in terms of features and stability? I'm looking for something in which I will not lose any functionality going from 4.1 (which I'm currently on) to 4.2. I tried checking out all the ASOP ROM threads, but it's a little difficult to get a feeling for what's working and what's not right now..
Thanks for the help. The main reason I'm looking to upgrade up to ASOP/4.2 is for Google Music All Access
In my opinion, Vanilla Root box is the best. It has features from CM10.1, AOKP and Paranoid Android.

Do you experience any issues with it? I was actually about to get that last night but decided against it because I couldn't find some more details about it. Thanks for the response btw.
Spleef's AOKP is fantastic. No real issues at all that I've found and it runs lighting fast.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
AOKP or Rootbox are the best at the moment, imo. Ran these the most and had minimal issues.
Rootbox or EOS
Really though, they are all quite stable and I encountered very few issues with any.
If Camera is important to you, however, my experience is that you should stick with something like Lifeless or a Stock ROM.

I agree with the camera part. I'm running beanstalk and it seems just as good as any other aosp ROM I've tried. However they all have the same camera problems. Even with the camera script it just isn't as fast and seems like the focus isn't quite right. Lifeless with epics camera mod is solid for taking great photos. I always keep a lifeless backup just for that reason.
Any more thoughts on this? I just recently unlocked and rooted my LGOG and am looking for a good, stable 4.2.2 rom? I'm coming from a rooted ns4g on rasbeanjelly which was super smooth, fast and had great battery life

Funny... I was just thinking the same thing. That you as a senior member should know what xda is about and that posting useless comments like the ones you've posted are the ones that get threads closed and not asking about others' opinions and experiences with ROMs they have used. So please allow someone to answer my question so we can possibly get some ROM discussion going and learn from each others' experiences.
...I like jelly beer...
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
The first custom rom I've tried is vanilla RootBox... Flashed it yesterday and so far it's running great! Love the Dark RootBox option! Need to give it a couple of days to see about the battery life. My battery life on stock was pretty good... I'll give it a couple days and then post a screen shot
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Jelly Beer is the first 4.2 ROM I was man enough to try. I was concerned about bugs, but the only one I came across was for the GPS. It wasn't hard to fix, so I have no complaints.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I would say Lifeless Rom. Just got my phone last Thursday, rooted it and put that Rom on there and havent tried any since. Rom is quick, no lag, you can have it as close to stock as you wanna and it even includes Aroma installer which has a ton of apps and tweaks you choose yourself.
Oh and EVERYTHING works! Cam, video, wifif, gps, LTE
its only 4.1.2 but its still good!

Well I've had Vanilla Rootbox on for about a day and have had a couple of issues with it. Like I was rebooting my phone and after it shut off it didn't want to power up again
It took like 5 minutes for my phone to power on again... I was so scared... Then I had some issues trying to place a call. The call would not go through. Had to reboot and again it took a while before I could power it on...
I'll give this a couple more days... if issues continue I'll have to try another ROM.

What you like about jelly Beer?
I had to ditch Rootbox cuz it was too inconsistent. I'd try to make calls and they'd just hang up, people would get multiple of the same text messages, and I could not hang up at times. I'd push the end button and it would hang up until the person on the other line would.
I'm currently on Beanstalk. So far haven't encountered any issues other than the occasional screen flicker and that the gps won't lock. I love the Darkstalk option too!
