I know that. That is why i asked about "Kitkat". Not to have "Gb is the best".

Not really the answer you expected, but still the best one. People's rom requirements are different because we all use devices differently.
Therefore what's best for some users may not be best for you. User opinions have very limited usefulness, and very few users will have even tried and compared all the kitkat roms just for you.
In all this time waiting, you could have made a nandroid backup, and played around with all the ROMs for yourself, from your own opinion of performance and stability from your own experience. This way you find the 'best rom' for your needs, not someone else's... :good:

Again, i just asked about performances and stability. No special "requirements". I already tried 3 KitKat ROMs, it was just to have some additional user experiences.

Evervolv is the best for me

Performance and stability is also subjective and varies hugely between users, there's no standard...
It still comes down to how the user uses their device. For instance, someone might say a ROM is laggy, but they're running high end games which the phone was never designed for, and is not really even a ROM issue. Others' definition of stable can include the occasional reboot / freeze, though this could be unacceptable for you. These are just examples, you may believe they're helpful to your choice, but again no user will have exactly the same usage pattern as you, so their experience will have limited usefulness for your setup.
Put another way, how many replies are you expecting in this thread on all the different kitkat ROMs before you are able to decide, assuming they have tried them all and are able to compare objectively? And if you've already tried 3 kitkat ROMs, why do you (still) need additional user experiences of others who use their phones differently to you?
And you can apply this logic to all device / ROM / kernel combinations in the future

There's no better benefits than experimentation and readings. Read the threads that contain valuable information and u will gain knowledge. Knowledge will be implemented to your experiments and thus u will have a better kernel combination in your disposal.

[Q] MildWildCM7 vs ICS (stability) | BCM ICS vs Sandvolds ICS?

Hey there,
I've been using MILDWILD CM7 (3.9 right now) for several months and i am very happy with its smoothness and stability. Nevertheless I'm interested in trying out one of the "true" ICS roms. Is there anyone who has experiences regarding smothness and stability. Are Sandvold's and dk_zero_cool ICS roms as good as MW (despite the camera errors)?
Furthermore I'd like to ask whats the difference between those real ICS roms?
Does sandvolds rom also deliver additional settings as the cm9 options in BCM ICS?
what about stability and smoothness?
Reading the last 5 to 10 pages of those rom thread would give you an idea.

Quite not a productive answer though, why do you think i am askung, fool
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
The answers to your questions are already out there. Honestly, I'd rather be productive doing something else that will benefit me than to give you a full rundown of things that you can go figure out yourself anyway. I don't care if you find my answer useless but given the fact that this thread hasn't been productive in getting any other answers speaks for itself.
So yeah go ahead and call me a fool.

Um, maybe because you're incapable of finding the right information which is already written, thus being incapable of using forums as a viable source of information?

[Q] Most stable rom

Hi guys,
I asked this question in a thread, but I think it deserves its own.
What is the most stable ROM for this phone?
I just bought it to offer to a family member of mine that does not want to worry or understand the advanced android user ways
Please tell me which ROM should I install. I'm already unbricked and recevery'd
Thanks
Cheers

At this time any of the stock derivatives ie v20x. However progress has been made on CM10.1 so it may not be long for it. From what I read blue - tooth and battery drain are the two biggest issues with cm10.1.

I'd say PAC-Rom is the most stable.
best
I think CM and aokp support our devices very well
I want the best multilanguage rom also for my P930, which is the ROM with the less bugs, and all hardware work?
I mean camera,wifi, BT etc.. I don't care about rare FCs or reboots, just I want evrything working.
Cyanogen doesn't have mhl working, I don't use BT so cant comment on that.
Lg nitro V6 is remarkably stable with everything working fine, but doesn't have many languages available.
Use wind kernel for best battery / performance ratio, it also fixes the WiFi battery leaks on the latest versions as well as the screen off issues

Most stable AOSP Rom

Hi guys.
I'm currently on Sinless GPe and I was just wondering if there's a AOSP ROM that can actually be used as a daily driver. I know it's a bit early but there's no harm in asking

I've been running the SlimKat for a while now, and the latest weekly is very stable. I've had no issues whatsoever.

My Wi-Fi occasionally becomes unresponsive. The only other issue I have is the speakerphone and the party on the other end can't hear me (acts as if it's muted) other than those 2 minute annoyances it's really stable for a nightly that's only been around for a week or so

WiFi issues (Only for some) and no sound on speakerphone does not constitute instability. Those are called bugs. Bugs and being unstable are two totally different things. They're all stable as far as I know. They all have bugs though. Even stock Sense ROMs and GE Edition ROMs have bugs too.

I know I phrased it a bit badly... I meant stable in using it as a daily driver

This will likely be closed but I'll say it anyways.... Regardless of whatever rom someone tells you is good for them you may not have the same experience. Just make a nandroid backup of your current setup and flash some roms for yourself.

How "stable" a ROM is depends how you individually use your phone. Also what constitutes "stable" and "daily driver" is completely subjective.
Any discussion of favorite ROM, best ROM, most stable, best performance, etc. are discouraged here. Its insulting to the developers who do a lot of work to bring us these ROMs for free, to say one is "better" than another.

Rom comparison threads are against forum rules. Best thing to do is to try them for yourself.

[Q] What ROM are you using and can recommend.

Hi all happy HTC Desire users,
There was no such topic for some time so I create new.
Could you recommend some ROM that you are using?
My Desire is now used by my wife and I searching for stable ROM for her.
As most of user here are using and checking ROM maybe you can share your personal experience and recommend something.
Requirements:
- quite fast
- quite stable
- working GPS
Big thanks

This is why I make this thread because I want to know what other people use and what are their experience so I don't have to check every ROM.

Thats the problem, every user has a different opinion, what might be stable for one might not be for another and the only real way is to test a few for urself and see what works best. Plus these questions aint really allowed on xda
I'm using an oxygen based rom based on 2.3.6 I think. Oxygen is the fastest it got on this phone. Problem for this phone is some of the newer apps bog it down or aren't compatible with android 2.3. And 4.0 was slow and unstable for me after a little bit of use.
That's why its a reliable full time car speedometer for me now, until today when I had a sim card problem with my other phone.
