[Q] Recommendation for most stable custom ROM? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been a long-time flashaholic, but I've grown weary of all the FCing, wonky GPS, camera issues, bluetooth issues, etc. with many of the popular custom ROMs. I've gotten to the point where I do not need the latest and greatest ROM with all the fancy bells and whistyles and just want something that works well and is stable. I prefer AOSP-based (need tether to work), but do not need Kit Kat-based. So, recommendations?

CyanogenMod 10.2 + xposed framework

Yea, did this, but GPS is wonky (sometimes takes over 30 minutes to find me), bluetooth will not connect, and lots of random reboots/freezing. And, this is on the stable release!

Miracast screen mirroring is broken on CM 10.2. I get best results with AOKP 4.3. All KitKat ROMs have broken Miracast, BTW. If you need working MHL/HDMI out, you have to use a Touchwiz ROM, unfortunately.

CyanogenPure?

I love CyanogenMod, I really do. It is constantly improving and the devs working on it obviously work very hard to keep things running smoothly. However, with a codebase this large, constant improvements inevitably leads to a fairly consistent stream of new bugs amidst the improvements. I understand that nightlies are not intended to be used as daily drivers, although usually they are stable enough for most here at XDA.
Acknowledging all of this: I can't help but wish on some days that I could take the excellent skills/care/devotion of the CyanogenMod team and have them devote a fraction of their work to create a pure, optimized AOSP ROM. No mods, no community apps, and (hopefully) no bugs. This would be an incredible stop-gap between the initial build of a new CM nightlie (say, CM11) and the inevitable stable release.
This is NOT a statement against the added mods/apps to CyanogenMod (File Manager, Apollo, DSP Manager, etc.), I am very much of the opinion that these additions are beneficial, even necessary to the growth of CyanogenMod.
I do not expect this to happen, and I especially do not expect them to go back through CM10 and line-by-line strip all of their adjustments/additions. I understand that they are all very busy at work to keep us happy, and I appreciate that. Think of this as wishful thinking from a big fan.
Am I alone in this opinion?
it is called an AOSP rom. in this case vanilla. get a nexus device for that
Obviously, but I think you're missing my point...or you didn't read my post.

Yes, but done by devs that know what they're doing.
Every single dev here knows what they are doing. Plus aosp is easy to compile for any device

I don't see any after a quick search. I've used pure vanilla ROMs on my evo/evo3d and they were pretty terrible. I just assumed, by prior experience and lack of vanilla roms here, that they were tricky.
no, thats just because AOSP roms lack features that people crave from CM or AOKP
Alright, so we're back to my initial post now.
In other words an aosp pure android rom is not people look forward to. Cm10 stable rom is there and probably with like one minor bug or two.

I know how you feel; I wish they would release a stable ROM for those that prefer stability over speed/features
EXACTLY. i love how hard the devs work to improve android and add features but until its possible to get a stable rom with these features I'd prefer simple, pure vanilla with all work going towards stability. Maybe I'll start on that one day

You can't ask for optimization with stability. The nightlies are there because that's what they're trying to achieve, if it's not stable enough for you - don't use it. Go back to TW. That's the closest to pure stable for this device you're going to get. There are -always- bugs, even in the most fine tuned software, because it's all about what the user puts on their devices and how it interacts with the system.
Plus, not too long ago CM released the CM10 Milestone 2. It's stable enough for daily use. Give that a shot. If it's not to your liking, pull CM's device tree into a freshly synced repo of AOSP and compile it. See how easy it is to get it working.

this is true, but i'd be using this with mostly stock software + social network feeds and games only
the milestones are a great idea, and probably the closest thing im going to get to this, but they are still snapshots of mostly stable aosp with many many tweaks to keep modifications that i may or may not use stable. not exactly ideal, but thanks for the suggestion. i'll probably stick with the newest m build when it is ready.
im not asking for cms device tree compiled as it is, or anything at all. im just hoping that before or adjacent to cm11 getting going with mods and tweaks that they will release builds tailored to vanilla and nothing else, concentrating only on bugs before adding things and testing them and adding things and breaking things and testing them and so on and so forth. i feel im not communicating this efficiently and im sorry

Does the bottom mic work on M2? What about the data drops that constantly happen? Does it transition well from LTE to 3G, vice versa?
And these are serious questions, I'm not trying to be a [email protected] at all.
I have a 20 month old baby girl so I do a lot of video recording, so the bottom mic is important to me since the top one doesn't pick anything up unless you're basically speaking directly into it. I do a lot of business through my phone, so a reliable data connection is obviously very important too. I've had BB6 on my phone for about a week now, and I absolutely love it...with these two exceptions. It seems they're both problems with all AOSP ROMs. If they get fixed sooner rather than later, there will be zero reason to have TW ROM for me.
EDIT: And GPS seems to take quite a bit longer to lock on compared to TW.

I was using m2 for quite a while before I switched over to bb6. In my time playing with m2 I found that video recording was fine and data connectivity took about 10 seconds longer on a reboot. Other than that I've experienced no data drops.
To add to this, YMMV. I'm not sure if my phone is different somehow but I've never had any of these problems that people describe with data drops at random.
Edit:
Also, as far as lte/3g hand off goes, I'm unable to test as I'm not in an lte area. As for GPS, it takes about 7 seconds to lock on in a room with no windows. Tested on slimbean, so again YMMV

Just try looking into building aosp from source its really not that hard it will just take some time. You could even use the device tree for d2spr from cm so you really will just be using pure stock

Considering switch from TW-based ROM to AOSP (PA) - questions/concerns

I'm currently on Jedi X11 (haven't gotten around to updating to X12), but I'm considering switching to ParanoidAndroid and have some questions/concerns regarding the switch.
First of all, I don't care at all about the Touchwiz/S-Pen features (never use multiwindow, air view, etc) or Wifi calling, but I do care about HDMI-out, either through the official 11-pin cable or the Smart Dock - is PA still compatible with either? Are there any limits to their functionality?
Regarding bugs, is there still anything big that's outstanding with 4.2.2? I remember Bluetooth being a big issue, and I almost exclusively use Bluetooth for audio in my phone - can anybody confirm that the Apt-X codec still works? Or mention any issues with any Bluetooth devices/services, such as keyboards/mice?
As far as performance, how does it compare to Jedi X11, Pegasus/Stweaks overclock, and Crossbreeder? I have no widgets (and no interest in lockscreen widgets), and a live wallpaper, and generally easy on apps/storage, and still notice lag in turning the screen on and off pretty often - although I can't really complain elsewhere.
And should I expect a positive or negative impact on battery, generally speaking?
The tv out feature availability is a great question, I have personally tried a few aokp and cm rooms, they are very lean fatty and quite stable. Although, I never tried the tv out feature, weird, I use that a lot.

just remember, when you upgrade to 4.2.2 all your internal stuff will be moved to under /0 folder. I thought it erased everything when it only moved it.

Try Carbon... Far mor features.
Carbon Nightly | Kroz Hhue Theme | Crack Flasher
I jump back and forth a bit. Usually it takes something to pi$$ me off lol. For example a couple weeks ago the CM camera FC'd on me when it tried to flash and autofocus at the same time so I started running TW for a while. I modified TW with so many tweaks and hacks to get that look and feel of CM, that my alarm lost it's audio last night and I almost slept in for work today, back to CM I go lol.
Ronnie- I ran today's Carbon for a bit, but ditched it when I couldn't play the game "Plague". For some reason it wouldn't open. Cleanly wiped internal SD, fresh nightly install (OC'd to 1920 admittedly), fresh game install from the Play Store (no TB) and it still wouldn't open. Couldn't figure it out, but it works on CM... Just sayin' Carbon features are nice (plus I love Trinity's kernels), but there are little tweaks here and there that break or break other things. CM is much "nicer" to me.

[Q] Recommended CM nightly?

Was wondering if there was a recommended Cyanogen nightly in terms of stability, things working etc? Or alternativley are there other roms (other than stock) that are more stable/working? Downloaded last nights nightly but there seem to be quite a few things not functioning...

I may have spoken too soon, a few issues were just me not being familiar with JB 4.2 and how to set it up, couple of issues I've been having is that formerly full screen games and other apps are no longer hiding the on screen buttons (with the Amazon firmware there was a small pull-out tab to get them), though perhaps there is a configuration switch I am missing for this? Also some video appears to be tearing, though to be fair this might just be the video app... Also CM seems to be ignoring whatever I set the homescreen grid to be.

Which will be the 1st AOSP 4.3 ROM?

According to you which will be the first AOSP 4.3 based ROM available for users?
CM
AOKP
PA
or others?

I'm interested in the bluetooth changes. I have never been able to get bluetooth working without bugs no matter the release on AOKP. It has always had little quirks / bugs that are super annoying.
Any chance 4.3 addresses some of the 4.2 BT bugs? Or does anyone know a rom where BT works flawlessly? I use it so often I need it to work well and it just doesn't work well on AOKP currently for me.

Bluetooth works great on Tasks latest release. Also haven't seen any complaints lately in the CM thread.
Cm will be the first. They already have an N4 booting 4.3 (kinda).

Maybe for you.... on my device it's never worked "great". Most of the time, it "gets by" for me. I get constant random reboots when on BT, doesn't auto connect to stuff properly, i still get "turning bluetooth off....." message. I've almost always have these issues on task's 4.2.2 rom no matter which build or how it was loaded (complete wipe, etc). There was 1-2 rom builds with his rom that worked really well BT wise for me then the rest just seem to struggle to keep up with the rest of the rom It really sucks because I LOVE everything about the rom. I just wish I knew how to fix BT!!!
I'm hoping the 4.3 BT changes that come will have some benefit for the BT bugs i've seen.

Lollipop 5.0 Roms! Experiences/Bugs/Advice

Hi friends!
I've been around the forums the past few days and noticed several Android 5.0 lollipop roms for our device. I've tried out a few of them and have been very impressed with how good they are. So I'd like to ask you guys, what are your experiences with any of these Lollipop Roms? Is there any you prefer? What are any bugs you've come across? Is there any advice you'd like to give on flashing or using these roms?
I think this could be a great way to gather our thoughts and keep track of how development is going.
Thanks!
I am eagerly waiting to make one of these roms my daily. Flash every nightly of the cm12 and play around for about an hour but then nandroid back. Not that many issues but still seem buggy and things that i use daily like the IR blaster dont work. I find it amazing how fast the devs were able to get us 5.0 roms so quick! And almost fully functional to! Maybe you can list the roms? To my knowledge the only 5.0 roms iv seen are 2 cm12s and a 5.0 pac.

So far I've found Phantomphreak53's CM rom to be the most stable. Only thing not working is video recording which is a common issue amongst all of the lollipop roms. All in all these builds hold up extremely well for Alphas.

I am currently using the CM-12-Unofficial by PhantomPhreak53 and here are my thoughts so far:
I clean flashed the 11/21 build after formatting data (I know this is not required or necessary) and a wipe. With a clean slate, it worked very well with the exception of NFC, double tap to wake, video recording and the resolution was off. Double tap to wake was fixed by editing a file, resolution was fixed with build prop, and I didn't need NFC or video so it was fine.
I dirty flashed the 11/23 build and NFC has been fixed. The video recording still doesn't work and the error "can't connect to camera" pops up after you try. The 11/23 build also fixed double tap to wake, added privacy settings, and fixed the resolution. Some people have noticed battery drain, but I get just about the same I got with stock. I will get about 3-4 hours of SoT with roughly 12-15 hours off the charger. This is all LTE on T-Mobile. Overall, I think 11/23 is good enough for a daily and I am currently using these "nightlies" as my dailies. There are some reports of crashing, but I haven't had any so far.

I was running the Pac Rom build for a few days, but it seems the developer has switched to a nexus 6 and stopped further development. Pac Rom worked extremely well for me, the only issue I ran into was Documents force closing. I switched to the CM12 (11/24) by Phantomphreak53 today. Hopefully it holds up as well as Pac. Phantomphreak53 has been doing an excellent job with updates almost everyday. I'll check in again after spending some more time with this rom. Thanks for the input everybody!
I tried CM12 11/19 and 11/22, but ended up going back to a 4.4.4 rom because of battery life issues (namely NFC service using up my battery), video issues (opening a video in snapchat caused the phone to crash), and some other various instabilities. Is the video issue fixed in 11/24?

It looks like they are working on the video issue, or they changed something because now I don't get a force close but the video freezes and you have to reboot.
As for battery, I would try clean flashing a new ROM, maybe even the 11/25, because I have no misc or NFC battery issues. NFC did show up on the 11/23 rom, but it was very low and I got about the same battery life as I got from CM-11 and stock. Let's see if 11/25 fixes it for good.
EDIT: Scratch that. Taking a video still causes the camera apps to crash. Nothing has changed there.

I'd much rather have the app crash than have to reboot. I guess i'll have to check out 11/25.

I must have done something to cause the reboot. Every time I have tried since it just crashes. I haven't had any reboot issues at all on any of the roms, and I am currently on 11/25. I apologize if my post was confusing.

Things get a bit funky with these roms sometimes. The other day I lost all audio playback on my phone for absolutely no reason. I kept rebooting, but still no sound. I suggest you get everything working as best as you can and make a recovery from it. That way if things get wacky you can just restore and have everything back to how it was.

That's probably a good idea. I have seen some inconsistencies between devices as well. Some people have weird battery drain while others don't, some have problems with AUX and others don't etc. I wonder how much is the ROM, how much was how it was flashed and how much was related to different apps and settings. So far I have had a great experience though, so no complaints here.

Go read any single one of the lollipop threads and that question will be answered for you. Literally, any single one of them.
Every other post asks that same question. Gets frustrating even going through the threads anymore. Every other post mentions the video not working too. It even states in the CM12 OP by phantom that the video doesn't work. It always helps to read the entire thread before even flashing the ROM. That way when you flash it and stuff doesn't work you really have no one to blame but yourself. If you use the video camera a lot, just don't flash the ROM. That way when you try and use the video camera and it crashes, you won't go straight back to the thread and complain or mention it doesn't work. The moderators are gonna start going through and clearing all the repeat posts. They shouldn't have to if you just do your research people. That is all.

No rom not based on t-mobile stock will have wifi calling, it is baked in low level. However, if you have a Google voice number and you integrate it with hangouts you can make a call over data with hangouts, if you're on wifi then boom, wifi calling. Can't be done with your carrier number though.
I've tried all three. Was hesitant to try PhantonPhreak53's build but I finally did and haven't left. Updates have been consistent and this rom has been my daily for about a week now. Not really worried about the video recording. I take Photos on Snapchat majority of the time anyway so I can wait patiently for the video recording fix. I'm just glad to have a stable 5.0 lollipop build.
Looks great
Anyone using these roms with QI charging? Does it still work?

Finally flashed a 5.0 rom and have discovered that QI charging still works, though it feels like it takes longer to charge.
