Develop Bugs

Coming to ICS Rom first time which is best?

Ok i have not put anything new on my phone in a month.I have cauks older Rom.I have not even updated it.
I was reading the development section and i am lost in reading.So going to 1 for the first time and not having tons of issues that i get stuck with which Rom seems to be doing the best in the ICS rom section?
I understand ill get different views from people who love 1 person but i really just want to best Rom going on right now.

I like Calks (2) Roms...Either One and and right now Im runnin Mijjah 74's Goodness at the Moment...Ive run all three... All three Roms work exceptionally Well..

probably Calkulin but...
i agree about the three of those being good bets. i've heard and read the most positive things about Calukin's stuff. It's not uncommon for other ROMs to be based on his work.
That being said, I'm also on Mijjah's Blend ICS (the Goodness). The earlier versions had a few more hiccups (mainly GPS). I'm on ver 2.5.1 and have not ran into any issues yet. GPS, check. Notification sounds, check. Notification LED indicator... oh, OK. 1 minor issue so far.

The test builds of CM9 is working pretty well, battery life is kinda bad though and for some reason it doesn't play audio through my car dock.
Sigh, back to Gingerbread I go...

Depends on your personal preference... If you wish to remain on Touchwiz, try one of the above suggestions.
For AOSP, there's CM9, AOKP, and Codename. All are smooth and filled with customizable options.
Personally, I'm in love with Codename(over General atm)

AOKP is badass for sure, TCP did a great job. Much better than the others imo. Havent tried Codename yet but i hear its slightly better due to more customizing

These ICS roms have tons of bugs. Nothing really major aside from complete incompatibility with my bt car kit.
But still, they are far from being a daily driver.
If I had to choose, I'd probably pick aospmod rom.

False, the FC leaks ones are 99% bug free.
CM9, Codename and AOKP all have their share of serious bugs.

I've been running Codename for a week, and haven't experienced a single serious bug. It's almost as solid for me as the GB Touchwiz roms were.
OP, it really depends on what you want. If you want Touchwiz, then I'd definitely go with one of Calk's roms. If you want AOSP, then I'd recommend Codename, followed by CM9, then AOKP.

I think 99% might be an overestimate. Some lucky folk have had that experience, a great many other people are getting only a "few" bugs, but fundamental ones, like borked contacts and failing notifications, etc.

What do you mean by 99% bug free? One percent of phone functions are broken? Out of what, a thousand?
I'd agree. And that one percent is almost always a deal breaker.

I said serious bugs. I don't ever use my video camera, so it's not a serious bug for me. It may be to the OP, and if so, then I would recommend that they stay on a rom where the video camera works.

I don't know of any rom on any phone that works 100%. Even official Samsung releases don't work 100%.

I keep running back to gingerbread. I kept telling myself that I will try ics when its an official release. I get the itch to flash something and always go back to what works. I was running for a day, a rom from someone, but had to Odin back to EL29 because there was something I wanted to do but couldn't because of a snafu. I personally prefer stability over the newest bells and whistles.

Same here. I keep telling myself it would be the same, buggy enough not to be useful as a daily driver, but the flashaholic in me takes over.
So, hours are usually wasted.

Yeah i think ill just update cauks non ics rom for a bit yet and let the bugs play out.

I've been running Agat63's tFCXX series (currently on tFC18 0.1.1) since FC06; they're as smooth as ICS roms get, IMHO. A nice light "frosting" of the AOSP ICS look (courtesy of tiffany84), choice between stock and rogue-repacked (w/ CWM recovery) kernels, otherwise generally fairly close to the "stock" leaks except where Agat can convince himself he's not adding bugs/instability beyond what is naturally going to be in a leaked pre-release with build.prop tweaks, bloatware trimming, and such. Plus he's incredibly responsive to his users' requests and very open to providing them options.
FC06/FC07 was _just_ good enough to be a DD for me (but _barely_). FC15 and now FC18 have been nearly flawless in my experience. Of course, YMMV but I find _very_ little to complain about. Just my experience - the one thing I've learned from reading a LOT in ICS related threads is that everybody's phone behaves a little bit differently, everyone uses their phone a little bit differently, and everyone wants something a little bit different -- my recommendation would be to nandroid and start testing the roms ppl mention in this thread until you find one that works well for you (or decide ICS isn't done enough for you yet and you want to stay on GB a little bit longer).

My recommendation would be to wait until an official ICS release.
There's really not that much new ICS has to offer over GB. Not for this phone anyway.

For tw roms, yes ics is very similar to gb. But there's a world of difference between gb aosp and ics aosp. Like cm7 << cm9. Agreed that there's still bugs to be worked out for any ics roms, but some really good work has been done by our devs without having e4gt ics source released.
OP, if you do try ics roms right now, its a really good idea to be very cautious using any ics recovery. There is a real risk with bricking your phone, especially with aosp roms.

which rom?

My buddy has a gs3 and the stock ROM isn't working or for him in terms of battery life. I'm pretty sure it's due to all the bloatware so I plan on rooting and throwing a custom ROM on it. However I don't have a gs3 so I'm not sure what the most stable ROMs with the least amount of bugs are. Suggestions?

Could start with a debloated stock?
Also, does he want TW or AOSP? Once you know the answer to that one, simply search the top threads and go with w/e he likes the best. They all have their features and such in the OP.

That really depends on what type he prefers: stock touchwiz style or aosp based. Everyone has their own opinion. In the Android development section you can find toms that are based on stock firmware. In the original android section are the aosp based roms. I would have him look at and read over the first page of each section. The most active roms are usually on the top half or so of the first page.

Doesn't matter. He's not a power user and will be fine with either. I just want to make sure I give him the most stable ROM since he doesn't tweak experiment like a lot of us do. Based on my previous experience with past phones I automatically towards AOKP but I'm at work and don't have the time to look through all the rom threads to get a feel of which is most stable so I figure I'd just ask.

Task's AOKP is rock solid. Tons of features and great performance. No stability issues for me and I've been running his updates exclusively since December.

Awesome, AOPK it is. Been a big fan of it myself. Only left because of the PA features.
Thanks for all the input everyone. Seems like of all my friends in the only one not using a gs3 lol.

If you haven't used Task's AOKP on an S3, it isn't quite like the AOKP you're probably used to. You'll have to try it out for yourself to see what's different.

[Q] Help finding a new ROM

Hello all,
Basically I've been running the same ROM as my daily for 2 months (Frosty Jellybean 11.5) and I'm kinda bored of it. Plus I've been getting this bug where my lock screen messes up and I have to reboot my phone. I'm in the market for a new ROM and there's a lot to choose from so it's a bit overwhelming. I want something that's fairly small, fast, and close to stock. I don't need a lot of crazy features as long as I can underclock my CPU, and the Rom is customizable. I like to change it up every once in a while.
I was looking at Synergy. But the Rom seems big at 900 something MBs. The reviews make it look fast. And their thread says a lots of good things about it (Don't they all). It seems good, but may lack the customization features I want. This was almost the first ROM I went with from the beginning, but I failed to flash it after tons of download attempts and even restoring the phone to stock and trying to flash. If anyone can tell me whether or not this is working now that would be awesome. Also, does Morphology work with this ROM?
MIUI is also a good contender. I know it has amazing customization options. But can anyone give me information regarding performance and stability?
I will hear out recommendations for any other ROM's as well. I know these are all probably stupid questions and it's mostly a matter of preference, but I wanted a more informed opinion than mine. All these ROM's look amazing at a glance.
Thanks you for your patience,
Alex

if you're going for MIUI, wait for MIUI v5 to come out, hope it comes soon.

If you're looking for small with a lot of options I'm thinking that AOSP/AOKP are good options. I enjoy Liquid, Carbon, and Rootbox. They are all the same feel with minor differences. The big change that is causing a hiccup is the 3.4.X kernels that are being included. If you're looking for real stability I think the older version is what you're looking for. If you're thinking TW still, then you'll need to expect a large file size since many include the AROMA installer and whichever add-ons they choose to include. My TW recommendation would be Wicked because of the options, speed, and stability. MIUI is great for customizations, like you said, but I seem to always run into some bugs that can be irritating. Not the most "stable" but plenty of fun and worth the bugs that come with it.
I say give one of the AOSP/AOKP Roms a shot, and when the newest port of MIUI comes this way you can see how that is.

Thank you guys for the replies.
Does anyone have comments on the synergy ROM? I have a few questions about it. Is it compatible with Morphology? Could anybody get it to install correctly on their T-Mobile S3? Is it buggy?
I was also looking at ParanoidAndroid and JellyBam. I've read good things about them, but nothing really sticks out when I take a look at their threads. Could someone with experience using these ROMS chime in?

ive tried te synergy ROM for a few days and it was good, but i did have a few problems and battery life for me was not that great. if you want a 4.1.2 ROM i would suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176768

What Rom do you use?

What rom do you use? OR willing to use?
I wonder what roms are needed to keep runing. I hope this poll makes it clean what rom worth our time, what we should concentrate.
Thanks your vote.

but love CM

I used to have official PAC-MAN, more complet and usefull.
But some problems with the UI (fc) force me to change to unnofficial cm10.2 (bubors).

Nobody had decent bug report. Hard to fix a feature what I've never used.
Fixed in 20131110, try it, and report back.

It might create a lot of poll options, but perhaps you should ask which ROM people use, and also which ROM they wish/want to use. A single option could be phrased thusly:
Use LiteROM 0.9 / Want PAC-Man 4.3
Which would be my option, will vote from a PC later to cast my vote in the current poll.
I'm suggesting this because I think the majority here would like to use a different ROM, if only 'X' worked, or 'Y' wasn't unstable. Alternatively, the poll could just be about which ROM people want to use. Saves all the possible use/want combinations.

Single vote serves me. We have 4 android 4.3 rom, and many 4.2. Too few people use glide to have that much roms. Users are fragmented. My cm-10.2 topic is full with useless posts. I have to waste time to confirm a bug, what should be done by others.
It's simple I wouldnt maintain a rom what's used less then 20 people.

Used several
So, im currently on my 4th day using [PORT][ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.1.2]LiquidSmooth-JellyBean Glide by Ninthsense. So far I cant complain, i dont use BT or Voip services, so I really dont care so much about those issues, at first I used LiteROM the latest one from the greatergood didnt convince me, as it had several issues; after that I flashed CM 10.1 by Spyke555, it was really good and stable but some toggles came out automatically, for example data and, or GPS, meh... went back to stock ICS rooted, with litekernel, wasnt happy due to my battery life, and ram availability. Also my files on the SD card becamekind of unstable, some images were not shown, music couldnt be played... now Im using liquid smooth JB 4.1. Which so far feels really good. Is there another ROM you could reccomend me to use?

Good point, I understand and agree. My point is that when you ask which ROM people USE, you're not getting a list of ROMs most worthy of maintaining. You'll get a list of ROMs people use, without knowing why. My guess is that many of the Captivate Glide owners here use a ROM for it's stability, while hoping to be able to switch to another ROM that has more features and is newer, but not stable enough yet.
I use LiteROM because it's stable and has good battery-life. However, if you ask me which ROM I'd really want to use, it's a 4.3 PAC-man.
In short, I think it would be better to poll which ROM people want to see stable.

PAC-man is a feature rich rom, dont expect same speed/battery usage as a clean rom.
Ppl started to post why, but I dont really care.
I can see how much user download my roms, and they are too few to keep continue my work. At the moment I make more room (cm 10.1, cm 10.2 , pacman, omnirom), but I've got only one vote so far. More room then user(s)

Of course JB needs more power than ICS. As the number of features rises, energy consumption rises accordingly, dampened by how optimised each feature is. I don't expect the same battery life from a more feature-rich ROM.
But, I do dislike it when a newer ROM consumes twice the energy, whilst I do not make use of all the new features. However, it is unfair to compare a stable ROM to any other that still suffers (seemingly) random reboots. A reboot, it seems to me, is a short period of high CPU use. The more often a ROM reboots, the more the battery is drained.
Anyway, I just want a stable PAC-man 4.3. I voted for LiteROM, because it is has insane battery-life, more than I need(hence my desire for a more stable 4.3 PAC). I think the votes to this poll will reflect with which ROM people are most satisfied with. And I think their satisfaction is strongly related to how stable it is, which I think is inversely related to how much work there is left to do. Which is related to the work required in maintaining it.
Having said all this, I should mention how grateful I am to all developers. Development is no easy task, and not too often a rewarding one either. Dealing with users that just want stuff and expect it to be done yesterday seems very demotivating to me, so I really appreciate all the work done by the developers here. Including you, bubor!

Actually newer roms uses less cpu, and roms are faster.
Of corse I want to get official android 4.4 from google to i927 We have too few users, and they are seperate to diffrent roms, what makes much more harder to go forward.
Literom has litkernel, right? Litekernel has many power drain improve, but it costs many issue too ( broken wifi tethering, long wake etc)
Anyway you can use litekernel with newer roms with all its feature.

Did I just catch you contradicting yourself...? You can't say newer ROMs use more CPU (due to being more feature-rich), and then turn around and say newer ROMs use less CPU and are faster. Which is it? I'm thoroughly confused, now... It doesn't really matter, not the point.
Anyway, since you're the developer, I'd say it's your call. Most users here basically want the same: Something post-ICS, as stable as possible, and preferably as close as possible to the latest and greatest.
So, if you decide to focus on that and ditch the rest, I think you'll still have plenty of users willing to test whichever ROM you choose. Of course, people will whine about their ROM not being chosen, but that is unavoidable.
I'll stop now, it's getting way off-topic

You really misunderstand me, never said that. MAybe I wasnt clear enought. Dont expect same performance between Feature rich and clean rom, but same services are faster in 4.3.
You shouldnt post like this, its not forward at all. You just troll that topic, what is made to search Interesting. I see, you enjoy troll better then work for solution.
I dont wanna waste you time, I stop here too.

Bubor,I use your cm 10.2 latest and haven't had any problems with it at all!(well one no way to turn on hotword detection on Google now)not a biggie though
I know it would probably be a hard task but hope to see a kitkat rom on our captivate I think it would run great!

please vote if you didnt do yet.

i'm on the offical pacman but i will change soon to cm10.2 or back to literom if i don't have a choice.
but if you want to focus on one or two roms, i think you should focus of cm10.2 and omnirom 4.4, i will flash eiter one as long its stable enugh.

is it worth it to install a Custom Rom?

I rooted my phone and installed TWRP however looking at the custom ROMs , I don't know if it is a good idea at this point to install one. What are your recommendations especially in regards to fluidity, battery life, antutu scores, daily usage and everything working?

MIUI will give u the best fluidity
Battery life are pretty much the same
Antutu is pointless
Most ROMs have everything working
If you're all set you might as well test them, just remember to format data if going from MIUI to custom otherwise it will bootloop

Coming from Zuk. Z2 I'm not a newb to flashing but I haven't heard anything but issues on most ROMs I've looked at... Newer phone so makes sense but I wanted to more establish if there was stability and which ones are in fact more stable...
However if MIUI is the most fluid... Might Stick on that for another few months

That's been the normal state of custom ROMs on the last few phones I've owned including the supposedly development friendly One Plus 5. I think the problem is that custom ROMs are rarely maintained by people who actually use the ROM and device as their daily driver. You can't make a good ROM for a phone you aren't even using so the ROMs always have bugs that the devs aren't aware of until users report them. There was only one One Plus 5 ROM that didn't have bugs and it was also the only custom ROM by a developer who actually used the phone everyday. One of the ROM devs for this phone even admitted that he wouldn't consider using his own ROM on his primary phone which pretty much says it all.

I rooted my phone and installed TWRP however looking at the custom ROMs , I don't know if it is a good idea at this point to install one. What are your recommendations especially in regards to fluidity, battery life, antutu scores, daily usage and everything working?

I have been using LineageOS Unofficial for a couple of months, and now the official for over a month. Everything just works. Things are smooth, and works real nice without any of the wonkiness I had with MIUI. I always struggled a bit to make MIUI work like I wanted. Then again, I greatly appreciate a stock-ish experience. I am even running Substratum.
