Im looking for any super stable AOSP Rom, CM10 Would be great, If it had no bugs and if it was smooth and if it had full working touchpads.

Super stable AOSP CM10 Would be Awesome, with no bugs was smooth and had full working touchpads

Lotta if. I'd be interested in cm10 too. But with the same "if" like cyberscopes.

Yep, but would most likely not be possible

Yeah, but i think this's what this thread is for. To know & to ask us what we want. If not, then just close this thread.

This thread should actually be put into general... not into Q&A...

I've recently started building/using CM10 following these instructions: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_zeus
(only instead of ics on the repo init line, I used jellybean)
I'm assuming that should be roughly equivalent to what the FXP team produces (considering they're the ones that submit the source to CM). It seems to work fine for me.
I don't honestly use my camera very much, but what is wrong with it? I seem to be able to take pictures and they seem to be the right resolution (though I haven't done any quality comparisons) I haven't actually tried video or panorama.
I'm mainly interested in trying to add some tweaks, some of which may be Xperia Play-specific, and CM seemed like the best developer/community open source ROM to work with (though if someone else has other suggestions let me know)
The touchpads actually work, though not in the way that games expect them to is the problem - so it's really more a matter of game compatibility than functionality (and some of the others have made great strides in this area, but still not compatible with all games). I'd honestly like to try to get the Xperia Play's gamepad to be exposed to applications the same way a Bluetooth HID controller would be - I honestly think that needs to be the future - games shouldn't be written for Xperia Play or MOGA or whatever special controllers people come up with, just write it for HID controllers.
I've also thought about custom unlock methods, one of which could be entering codes on your gamepad to unlock.
A more ambitious project unless I can actually get the Android Transporter's guys' attention would be hardware accelerated Wifi screen-mirroring, which is what the Android Transporter guys did to stream from phone to phone or phone to tablet or phone to raspberry pi (they've open-sourced their raspberry pi receiver and as I understand it have plans to open source the android platform mods to be able to screencast). Basically the idea is to pull composited images from the surfaceflinger and put them through the hardware encoder (similar to what the camera does for encoding video), and stream them over Wifi according to RFC standards.
What else is wrong with CM10 that ya'll would like to see fixed? Any new feature ideas?
I'm not promising to implement anything though, I haven't been able to devote much time to android development, but thought I'd go ahead and try to share and inspire ideas and hopefully I'll be able to find more time to contribute soon.

Not really in any of those options if gaming is not as fast as in gingerbread.

Yes, I want something like yours ExtremeRom but with better performace. But I know that ICS is crap for gaming so it's just a dream

[Q] 4.4... to flash or not to flash

Would any of you who are currently running one of the 4.4 roms care to give some feedback on your experience - I've used CM 7-10, SlimBean 4.3, and Pacman 4.3 before on other devices...
Hopefully this isn't a redundant post, but I don't see nearly as much use feedback as I had in traditional threads that I've seen in other forums. Though there seems to be a much lower volume of people in this forum as well... Hopefully this doesn't piss off developers as that's not my intention... I need my phone to function as a daily driver... so I'm asking for feedback before I greatly alter my phone...
Do you use a 4.4 rom you use as your daily driver?
Are there any gotcha's or does the rom fulfill your every need/desire?
Does Wi-Fi work consistently/well?
Does bluetooth/A2DP streaming work consistently/well? Does the music app provide mp3 tag info via a2dp? (what music app do you use?)
How's the camera image quality? (I feel like the stock 4.3 camera leaves something to be desired with is sad... Has the CM team fixed sphere so it's functional/consistent? Does it do panorama shots?
How's system stability? (This may be meaningless if everyone's flashing nightlies everyday)
How's call quality?
Does your phone Heat up with basic use? How's battery life?

Well, I recommend you to read the threads about every 4.4 based rom, then you'll know most of the issues. I wouldn't use any of them.
Before my last Nexus 4, I had a Razr Maxx with 4.4.2 Slim rom. The first week using as my main rom everything was fine, fast, stable and battery saver. But all the problems started in the second week. Freezing at main screen, force closing most of the apps... I had to reinstall or even update to another version.
I got tired of that and rolled it back to Stock 4.1.2. The phone gained another stand. More battery life (3300mah was awesome), speed and stability. My sister still using it with the same version and she had no problems in five months.
If you decide to use, you'll need patience to keep updating your phone constantly till the final release.

The reason I'd created this post is because much of the information I was asking about wasn't apparent in either the FXP or Omni posts...
When I look at the 4.4 issues log on the FXP post, I see so many issues that would directly impact me, I'm concerned about actually running that.
Perhaps I'm finding the wrong threads, but there isn't alot of extra info in the ZL forums... I'm unsure if the Z forum posts apply.

[Q] What roms are good daily drivers?

Hi There,
I noticed we are not supposed to ask questions about "the best ultimate mega rom", or anything similar. I hope this thread, however, is different enough to not violate those rules..
What ROM would you suggest as a good daily driver? I do not need the fastest rom, or the newest android version. I just need to flash something on my Arc so my sister can use the phone for few months without a need for any troubleshooting from my side.. She wants working texting and calling, snapchat, facebook, whatsapp, wifi, camera, music player. She doesn't care about bluetooth, or video recording, or radio. Here are my findings so far:
Official gingerbread is too old.
Official ICS is too slow, even after cleanup (removal of some unnecessary official apps).
I tried some LegacyXperia-based roms, and they were amazing EXCEPT battery life was 4-5 hours even if the phone was not in use.
What would you suggest? Perhaps an older build of Cyanogen Mod? If yes, which one? Any ROM that is reasonably fast and stable would be OK, as long as it is ICS or newer.
Thank you!

Legacy Xperia ROMs are good, you just need to tweak the ROM such that it doesn't use up a lot of battery

You're right.
As I don't care about latest android (well I do, but my sister doesn't), I have used LegacyXperia cm10.2 release version: cm-10.2-20140303-RELEASE-LegacyXperia-anzu
She is running it only for a day, but so far it seems remarkably stable and battery life seems good enough to last a day. I will report back here if anything changes, but so far so good!

CM10.1 is stabler & more battery than 10.2 . else theres not much other. or choose KK cm10.2 isnt best choice (if then better use 10.1)

Legacy Xperia CM 11
I'm using Legacy Xperia CM 11 with Android KitKat. It's pretty good. Many issues are resolved. Previously I used CM 10 nightly, the new one is way better than that. And the KitKat is light weight. But battery usage is kinda high.

Maybe you should try Ultimate HD, now version 5.0.1 but version 6.0.1 will be available soon. I have experienced nearly all custom ROMs for Arc and Ultimate HD seems the most stable Rom, good battery life, app compatibility, ... Cyanogen Mod is good but it has problem with app, especially camera apps downloaded from Google store; battery drains a little fast.

There are many choices when it comes to ROM, depending on how you use it. UHD is a good ROM for daily use, but if you play games with your phone then UHD is not a good choice because the base ROM itself cannot handle games well. If you want AOSP ROM with no modifications, you can use CM.
Things like battery life and apps can be managed if you search properly and apply the knowledge.

[Q] Audio/sound stutters while using media players as spotify on non-TW KitKat ROMS

Hello,
Before posting, I've done some good deal of googling and I've asked around other places too. That didn't really result in any answers, so I'm asking here. But, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-category for my post. Thanks in advance to any mod that can find a better place for it.
I mainly use my n7100 for listening to music via spotify or podcasts via PocketCast.
For the last few months I've been trying out a lot of different KitKat ROMS. It seems that all the non-TW based 4.4 ROMS have audio issues, where sound stutters and breaks up during playback.
From what I could gather, this is because "Samsung has yet to release KitKat sources to its kernel."
But, this was months ago. Have they still not released those sources?
How can I know when that happens? It's kind of difficult keep updated by just reading the forums.
Now, why don't I just keep re-trying ROMS periodically? Well, the audio problem itself is intermittent, so it takes a day or two to manifest. In addition, setting up the phone to my liking (installing apps, configuring them etc..) takes a few hours. I thought you guys might help me out so I wouldn't have to go through all that.
If you know of any non-TW (CM, Paranoid etc..) 4.4 ROMS that do not have audio-issues, then please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

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.

I think all 3 builds are based on CM12. The 3 lollipop Roms I know of are:
Unofficial-cm12.0-ANDROID 5.0-beta by $droyd$
[Unofficial] PAC-ROM 4.4.4.RC-3 & 5.0 Alpha by Asianflavor
CyanogenMod 12.0 by Phantomphreak53
If anyone finds other 5.0 Roms please let us know here!
Thanks!

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.

I'm guessing none of these lollipop roms have wifi calling?

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?
Knocked off my LG-D851

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