Any roms worth installing? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I waited three months before rooting my T700 to make sure that there were no problems with the device. Now that I have it rooted there isn't much else I could want. I was just wondering if there are currently any roms out that add any notable features worth leaving the stock experience for?

Maybe Lollipop stock (Korean)?

I have to say this is the smoothest & fastest Rom I've tried yet. AnTuTu benchmark around 39500. Check it out.

Stock JB VS Custom Rom?

So I just got a G Nexus and im wondering whether I should be using stock JB or one of the custom JB roms. Is there a stable JB rom that is better than stock yet?
AndroidME. Very clean and fast with a good amount of features.

Almost all the custom ROMs are rock solid stable since they work off of the stock codebase to begin with. The very worst that'll happen is that they'll have a feature that doesn't work completely. For example, one of the CM10 kangs has a toggle that crashes when you select it, but it's not in stock so you still get the rest of the features.
Custom ROMs will also have generally better performance and battery life aside from any features they have. AndroidMe, Revolution HD, CM10 kangs, Xenon HD, the list goes on. Try em out!
If you give the devs time, they will add more tweaks,etc into the custom rooms....stuff that is not available on the stock

[Q] Stability and Performance focused ROM for the 2013 Nexus 7

Hi, I am looking for a ROM that is stable and faster than stock. What ROM would be the best for this? I haven't really tried ROMs since I last put Cyanogenmod on my CDMA HTC Hero, so I don't have the best idea of what's out there and what works. I also searched "performance ROM" just to make sure this hadn't been asked recently.
I'm running TWRP and the latest SuperSU, if that matters.

There won't be a faster Rom. What you can try is flash a kernel that supports overclocking. Although, imho, you won't be blown away by the increased performance, it's all marginal.
Stock Rom is already very fast. Other Roms will also be very fast. It's usually a matter of options that the custom Roms offer. You can tweak more. But will they have a noticeable performance improvement, I think not. YMMV obviously

Ah, thank you. I had such a massive performance jump from 1.6 to 2.2 and then 2.2 to 2.3 Cyanogenmod on my Hero that I thought I might get something similar out of a custom ROM again.

Simply make a Nandroid of your current Rom and experiment like crazy
If you find a custom Rom that blows you away: keep using it. If you don't find any advantages or worse: restore Nandroid :good:
Custom ROM makes only sense if you want special functions / features of a specific ROM.
Many special features can also be activated in stock ROM by apps like Xposed, GMD apps etc.
So most probably a custom ROM is unnecessary. Just look for a good kernel (Franco, Elementalx, Faux...) if you want added performance, battery life or filesystem support.

Looking for mostly stock ROM

I am coming from the Note 2 and on that phone I used RWilcos Mostly Stock ROM which is basically just the stock ROM with small tweaks, root, bloatware removed etc.
It did not have any bugs that effected the functionality which I've seen with other ROMs (CM etc).
Does anyone have a recommendation for a 100% functional stable ROM almost that won't remove all the great Note features but still have the added features and performance, battery life , root etc of the custom ROMs?
Thanks for any help.

First of all, is the phone new and already updated to stock 5.1.1?
If so you have a locked bootloader (but still have options) .
If you have 5.0.1 or older version your in luck.

CM and ports require more attention whether it be developer, user or both.
Stock-like TW narrows it down for you. IMO, the two most active and capable developers in TW for Sprint Note 4 are tx_dbs_tx and freeza. They both have released very stock and also modified ROMs. Then there's OBAR that got a lot testing and users as well to make sure the bugs were squashed; still has support and also user community support.
If you don't want to get into kernel tweaking but want something with default and optimization out of the box- better than stock, consider freeza's Beastmode kernel or the newer Rage kernel that is integrated in Note 4our ROM (Don't be put off by the beta; it's stable but more customization is expected). Otherwise, take your pick and run the included kernel or choose another custom Android 5.1.1 kernel like AEL or Emotion for Sprint Note 4.
Personally, I prefer freeza's kernel. I've posted some battery stats in freeza's Beastmode kernel and Note 4our ROM threads.
I couldn't narrow it any further than this. You'd have to decide yourself or try as many as you like to make a definitive decision. Lots of choices and opinions vary; that's a good thing.

Which one of freeza's kernels gives better battery? Have you compared them to AEL? I'm using AEL 6.2,and while it has decent battery, it lags a bit.

IMO, they're equal on battery.
Rage may be slightly better on multitasking but there's extra scripts in play with the integrated ROM.
No lag but I've ran freeza kernels since Beastmode because they're close to stock with no setup to tweak.
Prior to that, I preferred stock kernel but thanks to Samsung, can't run it with root anymore. No recent compare to AEL or Emotion.

cloudyg3 or cyanidel rom?

so i was using stock kitkat rom for almost a year now. yes i havent updated to lollipop cause i was rooted.
and now im planning to install a custom rom, because stock rom are not as smooth as they were as they first were.
and im looking for a change, lollipop roms preferably.
so which roms suits me the most, cloudy or cyanidel rom? the important thing of course is battery life and performance.
thank you!
Cloudy all the way may have to do a few tweaks to get to your liking on top of xcam for replacent for stock app i flash all kinds of roms and crap and always come back to cloudy xposed works pretty good there are a few modules i have probs with but no major deal breakers
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------
My opinion of coarse i like almost all the roms out for g3 multi varients all of them have there own special quirks i like
Cloudy is based on stock so you have all the advantages of the stock rom like:
-Camera driver
-Good battery life
-Stability
And for cyanide, its based on cyanogenmod, the adventages are:
-Smooth like butter
-Features
The choice is up to you depending of what you really want. Personally I'd go with a stock based rom because of the camera driver and the stability, I add xposed and I can have a lot of features.
But you can try one, do a nandroid backup, try the other and go back if you don't like it!
okay i think im gonna go for cloudy since i actually prefer stock feelings too.
one more question, can cloudy use lgg3tweakbox, Xinsta, Xstana using xposed without no problem?
some people says lg g3 on lollipop cant use some modules for e.g lgg3tweakbox
I use grav box tweekbox major one that dont work for me is advanced power menu
When u setup cloudy make sure u click in aroma installer to use exposed also you havento manually install the framework after u flash framwork zip youll thing u bootlooped but first boot after exposed takes a couple on min

I tried the following roms for the LG G3:
crDROID (AOSP Based Rom - Android 5.1.1)
Cloudy3G 2.5 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
Fulmics 1.6 (Stock based Rom - Android 5.0.X)
My opinion:
crDroid : It was the smoothest rom I've tried until now but the I was disappointed by the battery life. The camera app is not the same as the stock rom camera app so the pictures quality is inferior.
Cloudy3G 2.5 : It was laggy for me, and it has a few bugs like the UI crashing when the phone is charging. The GPS has bugs as well. Cloudy is not being developed anymore.
Fulmics 1.6 : For now is the best stock based rom I've tried. It's smooth and it's always based on the latest updated stock rom from LG. Even better, the updates are via OTA so it's faster to update to the latest version of this custom rom.
Been really enjoying cloudy and I am super picky. I think you will be impressed, the developer did a really good job. Its working better than stock for me and feels quick no lag here.

For me, Fulmics ROM is better than Cloudy. Its much smoothier and I had gps problems on Cloudy.

so cloudy has gps problems? i used gps a lot that could be a problem for me.
i never check fulmics before.
what about cyanidel? no one mentions cyanidel?
so i switc hed to fulmics 2.0 just updated 2.1 and i love it smoother than cloudy and about the same battery life

I think it's because not a lot of people right now has been using cyanide (no updates since forever) and rr and bliss pop has taken the cm based limelight
Cloudy is okay but have some issues that will make you wanna flash another rom
Fulmics is much better but personally i've been losing data connectivity every once in a while.
Maybe try old timers like Lion, Chup Chups or Spartaxxx if you want stock
Or you can always try the cm based ones... like cyanide

Would a stock android 4.4 rom work better or a 5.0,6.0, or 7.0 rom(for battery)?

Right now I am on TW 4.4 and I am looking for a rom that has good battery performance and that is less laggy. I need BT to work because I heard some don't work. Also, what is the difference between official and unofficial roms? Anyways, thanks for the help and I hope we can find the right rom for me.
