[Q] Opinions for Custom Rom with good battery life and performance

Hello everyone,
first post since I got a Note 2... and I really like this phone... people seem to have a laugh at me since it is on a larger side, but then I have my own laughs when i see them trying to properly view web pages etc...
I have decided to go the custom Rom way, however, I would like some help.
I would like to have a decent ROM which gives good battery life and decent performance....my usage is pretty normal, email, Facebook, browsing, etc, not much games... so the ROM does not need to be performance oriented.
Any tips please on where to start... Tried searching here, but got a bit mixed up...
I like the stock looking TW Roms and would like Snote and the basic stuff such as calendar etc..
also which kernel would be suggested with this ROM.
Any help will be appreciated I know that I will have to try some ROMS to see which is best, however any help will save me a lot of flashing ROMS, kernels etc..... I know that usage is dependant on user patters etc, but some direction will be appreciated.
Many thanks to all...

Check thunderlite v5, it's great!

thanks, i was actually looking at that as a start.
There is a bit of debate on which kernel to us... if you have practical experience on this, any idea which is best please?

In two days this thread will be closed. There is no a rom better than other.

sorry about that... understand that all roms are good...
just asking for practical experience in usage.
you can just delete it now if you wish.... I guess i have to flash each one and see which works best for me..
sorry for the trouble...

You are right. It's all about personal preference and thunderlite is mine.

You must have misunderstood me...
I want opinions on a custom rom (with all the benefits of a custom rom) that gives good battery life... not one which improves battery life...

been flashing many roms so far and all of them are good and yea battery life depends on your usage, before i use aosp rom specially slimbean, the only reason i use aosp because it doesn't have any lag for me, not for games but generaly everything. even i use stock and rooted samsung rom i got lag wheb browsing even just the settings when sliding it down and even the gallery and messaging, it's just a slight lag. but after trying omega v18 rom it doesn't have and im surprise coz i dont have to use aosp rom with some minor bug and now im happy using samsung custom rom with no lag and enjoying all stock features. so battery is not a problem really on our note 2 just pick whatever that gives better performance. but whatever it's your personal taste on what rom do you want.

cheers... will also try the ROM you mentioned... and thanks... it has to be a TW Rom ideally as i like the interface.... plus some of the samsung apps I use, so will to have those....

its normal to be concerned about battery life
amongst stock sammy roms the battery performance is also going downhill unfortunately, MG1 being the worst,
taking cue from tamirda i went for mf2 and the best one i feel was the chinese release, but it has chinese bloat and no play store,
its malaysian version is defintely one for keeps
me6 is also better than mg1
i like to root with cf auto -root and use xposed framework for customisation so i can stay on an odexed rom.....
tamirdas mf2 custom rom v13 will give a good combination of customisations, rooted deodexed experiences and battery life.
i wish someone would make a rom on the chinese mf2
i also love aosp and its looks and features but battery wise -- well im still testing with various kernel/rom combinations on 4.3

If you have a 7105. Then I'd recommend Jedi x17 with the newest saber kernel. Battery for me is better than stock. It also comes with nice eye candy and a lot of built in goodies.
But to each their own

nope have a 7100... if they make a version for the 7100 I will gladly give it a try..
@rraaka, thanks for your input... while i love the addons and various mods available, battery life is rather important as i spend a lot of time away from a charging point, and need to phone to serve as my office away from my office...

Only American 7100 I believe but the kernel may be different.
Check the rom thread here

The kernel you can link through to from there also

[Discussion] What ROM do you use? (Not a best rom thead!)

Saw a lot of these threads on other phone forums and got curious.
**This is not a dev bashing, rom compairing, best rom thread!**
What rom you you use and why do you like it?
I am a flashing junky, and no... not the kind that wanders around parks in a trench coat.
I flash a rom, play with it, get bored , and flash another.
ATM im on PAC ROM and love it so far. The mix of the 3 roms combined is fun.
Just wondering what the G3 population thinks, so.. Let's hear it!

Zonerom ?it's fast, stable and battery is very good. Favorite rom so far. Been running it since it came out.

used to run zone rom when it first came out, but now that aosp roms are released, im flashing back and forth every few days.
Love how 480 dpi looks on this phone, and everything works at that dpi on these aosp roms.
... ok well almost everything, there are some features not worked out yet, but it is still good enough to be used as a daily.

Running CloudyFA's ROM. Still on a stock kick, especially with the Quick Circle case. Loving it.

Currently, bone stock. I rooted, then unrooted. For what I personally use it for, so far, stock suits me fine. We'll see what the future holds in development.

was Zone, Carbon now
Zone, based on stock 10m, is very stable and fast
Carbon, AOSP, is very stable too and lightning fast

How is battery life compared to stock?

I'm getting better battery life on every AOSP ROM I've used. My battery life on stock/stock ROMs wasn't bad either.

Nice?what rom would you recommend?

Stock>Skydragon>Pac-rom.
So far so good. Battery on AOSP holds up well. The build is a little laggy, but, as expected, this early into it.

What is best for me may not be the same for your use. I'd just pick one and flash away. I'm using Validus at the moment but have also used PAC, Beanstalk, Liquid Smooth, and shortly, AICP. They've all been solid with no issues for me.

currently running stock rooted. liquid smooth would be my daily but I have had to many blue screens on it.

Carbon currently. Loved PAC, but would get lag during some games and stutters here and there (expected). Tried Validus but had issues with unlocking screen and texting. AOSP has much better battery life than stock in general, for me at least. Haven't found one issue with Carbon yet.

Does exposed work on carbon? G3 tweakbox?

CloudyG3 1.2. I've tried pretty much every one of the stock and non-stock custom ROMs and I keep coming back to this. It has stock functionality with AOSP speed and performance.
Before Cloudy was released, I would have bet my house that I would have ditched stock ROMs for good once they got the camera working. It's not that the stock build was bad, but between it being a little wobbly and me coming from a Nexus 5... Even SkyDragon, Zone and Lonely didn't get to where I really wanted.
Now I'm all in with 'stock' again.... Because of that ROM

Xposed does work on AOSP ROMs but I don't think G3 tweaksbox will though. That's built to run on a LG based ROM. I personally think that most AOSP ROMs have enough built in options that xposed isn't necessarily needed. App Settings(per app DPI settings) was always the only module I ever really used on AOSP based ROMs.

Carbon - everything just works!

I haven't tried Xposed on Carbon, there is enough options in settings that I don't find myself needing it. Although I would assume it would work. G3 Tweakbox, on the other hand, probably wouldn't. That's more focused on stock mods.

Why so few custom roms?

Hey there.
I'm coming from Asus Infinity TF700, which was a great tablet but had disastrous storage speed, which made it virtually unusable.
On the other hand, there was plenty of custom ROMs, from CM to Paranoid, and others.
I've done some digging through Tab S forums and it seems so far only 3 custom ROMs are available, and even those are not being developed or are based on stock.
Why is that? Not many devs have Tab S? No people with know-how?
Anything esle?
Are there more custom roms to be expect in the future?
I am actually not sure when this tablet came to market, but it seems like 5-6 months now.
Thx for all the info. Oh, and if anyone could recommend a custom rom for Tab S 10.5 (WiFi only) I would appreciate it.
BR

We have cm11, skyhigh kernels, stock based rom, and blissed rom is being working on now. The best custom rom for the tab s wifi is cm11 in which im running now. Its super fast and stable.

Thanks for info.
Would you be so kind and point me to the CM11 thread - i'm talking T-800, not T-700 for which i have found a thread. But i don't think it is compatible, is it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2921507

Apologies for going OT
Does CM11 support colour profiles?
Regards
Rob

I've just installed cm, and it works great so far.

I dont think so. I think they are just trying to make it stable and make most things work just like stock rom.

How About Battery Life? Is it better than stock?

I've recently discovered the awesomeness of Pure Nexus on my Galaxy S4 and I would absolutely kill to have a rom like this for my Tab S. Google edition experience is buttery smooth, incredible battery life and has really extended the life of my phone. I may try the CM11, but I really don't know if it could be better than a modified Nexus rom.

Ehh well it depends. When i installed a custom rom battery life was a tad shorter. But after a couple charges to get the battery calibrated its a bit the same but A bit better. To get more battery on cm11 what i did was underclock the cpu to 1.3 mhz and set the profile to power save. I now have six hours screen on time at 35 percent. So it may vary. If you dont change anything it would not change battery life but butter smooth.

its about as close as you will get at the moment, im a stock fan, and been using CM11 for 2 days, only has the tablet 3 days, and i must say its very nice.

Whats the Best Lollipop Roms for the S3 ?

I got a few questions:
1) Can you provide a link to a Lollipop rom for the S3 that has no issues? If not, can you suggest one with the least issues?
2) Can you provide a good Lollipop rom for the S3 thats not based on CM?

They all pretty much have the same issues, they're built off of the same base. And you're not gonna find a rom that's not built on CM. Maybe slim lp is the closest you're gonna come but CM is the base right now for everything. I'm running the nightlies and they're really stable. Definitely a daily driver. Some signal drops but that's pretty much it.

Works fine.

There are no best roms, what's best for you maybe isn't best for others.
That is why we don't allow these threads, since there's always members saying the rom they are using is best for them and becomes a redundant thread.
On that note, thread closed and moved.

Recommended and more important "stable" rom for the N7505 Note 3 Neo

Hey guys,
just got a Note 3 Neo 4G (N7505) and im not really happy with the Stock rom, because it seems quite laggy to me when comparing it to Stock android. But nevertheless, the automatic S-Pen fuction is really really great and i dont want to miss it on a Custom Rom.
So which rom you guys (I guess its going to be one of the 5.X Roms out here) can recommend me for everyday usage? I just flashed the LinOS 7.X rom, but of course camera doesn't work which is quite annoying in everyday usage.
Second question: How can I use the SPen as well as in the Original Rom? Are there any Apps to have more or less the same functions?
Would be really nicd if you just could tell me your opinion regarding to the "best" and "stable" rom for the N7505.
Thank you!

Nobody wants to answer I guess, this phone is just really unpopular, sad

There is no perfect rom which is stable for N3N But in my opinion stock Samsung 5.1.1 is best for this phone tho u will still have to face the lagg

Samsung note s pen is a patented hardware technology of Samsung, so you may use whatever ROM you want and s pen will work fine.
As of now I'm using stock android 5.1.1 ROM, and it is working fine and supporting s-pen without any issue, and I guess there aren't any stable 7.x Rom for this device (sad). I hope someday sometime someone will come up with stable ROM.
