Rating Rom Thread

As-salam-o-alikum,
Hi guys,
I just want to know about different custom roms and before the installation i need to know three things about it
Stability
Appearance
Performance
This thread can help all the users who are going to try or install new custom rom,
So,
Please rate the rom you are currently using in these three categories from out of 10 how much you give and the name of rom of course.
I think you got my point.
Thank you.
Using DebianDroid on S5660 Gio

No, rating and comparing roms is rude to the developers.

yup,
m agree with u,
but is there any other way to know about custom roms before installation?
because its difficult to install n check every rom.

Screenshots, specifications of the rom, reading other's replies what they are facing issues with the rom they're tesing/using and much more.

Check comments.

m doing the same thing,
but still long process,
ok then there should be all in one thread which describes every rom,
its screen shots, specifications, also its completed or wip

cm7/gingerbread = stable
ics = stable but not as stable as gingerbread
jb= stable,but experimental and not bugfree.
base every rom on wich android version its based on.
stability, battery and features are different in my opinion:
stability>battery>features. more important>less important
gingerbread is most stable andbest for battery, but less features.
ics is balanced. stable and features, but not as good with battery then Gingerbread, and not as good with features as jellybean
jellybean is the less stable, but has the most features. less battery though.

plz someone help me

You want custom or stock ROM? If you want stock, I.e., Samsung ROM then you don't have any other option but to flash the official lag ROM only. You can root it and remove unwanted Samsung apps to make it a but faster. I will suggest you to go for CM 11 by pawitp for best performance of you use single SIM only. Hope this piece of information helped you.

If you want fast touchwiz rom, the fastest is k2wl's ultralite 4.1 rom, flash it on stock 4.1. If you can use single sim only, use one of the kitkat rom (the lightest by size is SlimKat, but the performance is almost the same i think).

You can get KitKat in CM11 only and other AOSP ROMs.

You don't need roms for that, you need kernels try Franco's kernel. Cynogen is the most stable and bug free ROM out there.

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
Get the latest version from here and be sure to select the correct device or you know..... Brick etc...
You can find many kernels on the development section of your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development this is for maguro
You can use others but I prefer using Franco kernel as it is very easy to flash (you can download it's app from play store just type Franco kernels and download it. You can use auto flash option from it)
Remember these things are very tricky,it can make your device unusable if you install it incorrectly so..... Take care
And yeah nightlies are official so you better get them from their website as they are fully tested and it is less likely to go anything wrong with them

I know that people generally stick to Cyanogenmod due to it's stability, but I think it is overrated due to the fact that they support so many devices. I would prefer ROMs where the devs actually have the device, and focus on the device since they plan to have it for a while.
With that being said, here is my favorite ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnimetal-linaro-omni-rom-t2550477
I haven't had any issues (like apps that force close) on it, and apps run fine. In fact, I have also switched to ART and it is pretty stable and blazingly fast. My test was its battery life, and it lasted me close to 7 days on standby with groove ip running on it (receiving calls, texts, etc.), and 2 days with active usage with a sim card.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for atleast reply and suggesting me some ROM which is i ever try.. but now i am little confused, for selecting ROM, I made my mind as per last reply ROM from CM11 Nightly and Kernel From Franco but now OMNI i need to learn about that too.
Can anyone have suggestion on that or give me little more light on ROM.
Thanks

Its good to have choices
If you are new to flashing ROMs, usually CM 11 is an excellent choice.
However, to me speed, low RAM consumption and good battery life matters, so here are the reasons why I chose that ROM:
1. Linaro toolchain - Here is a link to explain why it is faster than standard CM:
http://www.androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831/
2. Dirty_V kernel - For speed, most of us Nexus users feel it is the best. It is an improvement over Franco's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-t2613655
So, I usually choose a ROM which uses the linaro toolchain. I also got a ton of cool features like notifications, omniswitch, etc. which you can read about in the ROM link from my previous post.
In the end, I am just giving you suggestions. Why don't you try creating a nandroid backup and then flashing many ROMs to see which one you like? Using the nandroid backup, you could always come back to the tried and trusted CM 11 !
Here is a small intro to nandroid backups which may be useful even in the future in case you mess up your phone with a bad update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/NANDroid
Hope this helps! :good:

I'm switch between 2 Roms.
Remix
Vanir
Bothe stable and fast.
CU
Litening

Thanks really ! I'll definatly read and try on of that, but first I'll take nandroid backup and learn how to restore etc.
CM11 is good but some time its response very lately specially when charging.

You might want to try omnirom (google for omnirom download, you want the maguro version).
They push daily updates (I install updates every 1-3 weeks). They closely track AOSP (meaning a new AOSP will be made available ASAP). It's a very stable rom and I'm running it my nexus 4 and a modified version on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been incredibly stable and reliable so far. Oh, and its 4.4.2

No try omnimetal! No try vanir! No try liquidsmooth! No try Xenonhd!. So you need to test everything. These threads are useless and not allowed. Choose one you like. Every rom is stable unless specified otherwise..

Pick the one from the omnirom.org download page. All others are remixes - cool stuff you can get in this forum, but not the most stable experience.

[Q] Which ROM is the most stable and reliable?

Hi, I'm new here and want to install a custom ROM on my S4 Mini.

Snapshots are always more stable and bug free. They are very close to being daily driver- like. But many of our good friends here have reported the last cm11 nightly is very good and working fine. U can try the nightly. Good luck.

sooner or later you will be bored with vm and use ploiki's S5 rom... Thats the best so far ... for me 4days without charging. Ultra power saving mode etc

I installed CM11 M12.
I like it a lot but noticed many minor issues which I won't discuss here, but 1 major issue I want to mention.
It's the inability to move apps to external SD. I tried Link2SD, Folder something, both not satisfactory.
But over all I'm happy with it.
Thanks for all advices guys.

You can try my S5 ROM for S4 Mini i9192. It's very stable.

i tested all the available roms for I9192, but so far i find the PAC MAN ROM the best one. I did not notice any bug at all. smooth, stable, n fast better than carbon rom(my opinion). I also tested cm12 based roms but only thing i liked about its fluid thats it. I didnt like lollipop notifications, qs tiles. and also its too bright and many things still dont work.

A Stable 5.1.x rom needed...

HI, I tried all the 5.0.2 and 5.1 roms (didnt tried 5.1.1) all hav same problem in slight multitasking the phone just hangs it doesn't respond till I reboot it, and chrome doesnt work at all bcoz as I browse in chrome after a page or two the phone hangs. It only happens in lollipop, all kitkat roms r working fine.
Plz tell a rom that doesnt hang on multitasking. Say as per ur experience..

I loved CM12.1 r4. And for pure AOSP experience SlimLP(Have to say it is too good) and currently on EuphoriaOS. It is also awesome. These are what I loved. And I used xcelerate custom kernel on CM12 r4 which greatly enhanced my phone. This varies between users and i highly advise u to try and get a feel yourself. Multitasking is a breeze in these as far as I know.

Personally i love Euphoria. Feels good. But I really cant choose the best. All roms for armani are equally good. And xcelerate boosts ur phone's performance and battery too.

Theres no LP rom that perfect with no bug whatsoever, all still in development ATM, but everyone have their interest to what are the features of each custom rom has offered.
So everyone had their best fit to their needs, gaming or daily use.
IMO, at least you can read their feedback post at each LP custom rom you interested at and decide it by yourself

I just want to use apps like chrome, wa, fb, fk, at once and kikat roms do it well but lollipop lags like hell
