[Q] ROM for best stability? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi guys, can you recommend me the most stable ROM for XS ?
I used FXP CM10 for nearly 2 years, it was very good, but old.
CM 10.1 UNOFFICIAL - ok, but reboots sometimes
Carbon ROM - not ok at all
CM 11 Xperia Overlay - not stable, reboots at least once a day.
Point is, I cannot afford to miss a call or reboot randomly.
Thanks!

[Q] Which Cyanogemod rom

Hi Guys,
I have found Cyanogenmod to be the most stable rom for my Desire HD. Which Cyanogenmod rom have you found to be the most stable/user friendly (7.1, 7.2, unofficial cm10 nightlies etc)???
7.2 is the most stable if that is what you're after. Although it's Gingerbread. CM10 is good enough for use as a daily driver with slight bugs. Personally I'd choose Jellybean over Gingerbread anyday.. but if you're really paranoid about stability.. go for 7.2

With regards Jellybean, would you recommend Cyanogenmod or a rom from another dev, if so which Jellybean?

JellyTime by randomblame is the best Jellybean ROM around at the moment to be used as a daily driver. Thanks to the dev its mostly always in sync with CM10 changes with regular updates and offers extra features from aokp and such. Stability is also good.

I'm using JellyTime as my Daily Driver since Release 9.1, had some of the dicussed Issues on the development Thread, (like randomly rebooting, and bad Music Quality on Earphones, but if you follow the Development, it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort;
Latest Release (R24) is running smooth and without any issues for me, after full wipe an a clean Install.
Some People reporting battery drain Issues, but this seems to be device-dependent, so you have a good chance that this Problem will not come up for your DHD.
Give it a try, and i suppose you will never go back to GB...

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Bugs & other info

Hi guys!
First of all i hope i posted in the right section. A friend asked me to upgrade his Arc S to android 4.1+ because he wants a much smoother ROM than his 4.0.4 stock. I told him android 4.1+ has project butter, and this could help him really much, but i have some questions before flashing him the (probably Cyanogenmod 10) ROM:
Which are the known bugs of this ROM?
Is project butter fully working? (Also vSync? - This mean you have a fully working kernel 3.0)
Locking back bootloader, gives you back the warranty too?
I didn't find the answers to the first 2 questions, btw for the third one i'm a bit confused.. Thanks in advice!
EDIT: I also need the codename of the ArcS and would know if "FXP206" is the build number.. Thanks!
HDMI is not working on CM10
some restarts and memory leaks (may be fixed already, I'm not using CM10 since video recording in 720p is disabled)
camera is worse than stock one
AFAIK project butter is working, but we are still on 2.6.X kernel
Codename for Arc/Arc S is Anzu

Thank you! Is kernel 3.0 in development? Do you think the ROM isn't still good for daily use?

There's kernel 3.4 in development, but don't expect it very soon.
I can't really say is it good for daily use now, as last version I used was FXP151 (14/12/12).
I switched back to ICS-based ROM because FXP decided to remove 720p recording to improve smoothness andalso I was tired of random reboots and crashing games.

Mhmm okay! Thanks again! I will wait for someone who tried the latest version or a newer one. I don't want to void the warranty if I'm nor sure the result is good!

Im on the latest CM10 nightly build, the overall experience is great apart from HDMI(which will never work till sony release sources for it) most things works flawlessly. And dont worry its as stable as stock now thanks to the great devs.
For me, going back to stock ICS feels like a serious downgrade.
If you dont care much about 720p video recording and slightly less image quality from the camera then i recommend you to make the switch

What Bugs on CM10 and CM 10.1 [Xperia S.LT26i.Nozomi]

Hello to everyone. I'm on XZX2, but i think that it is very slow, not laggy, but slow. I tried both of cm 9 and cm10, but never cm 10.1
My questions are:
1) What bugs are in CM10 and what bugs are in CM10.1? (Like HDMI, 1080p video recording, FM Radio..)
2) I can use nova kernel 1.6 with cm10, but Can I use its with CM 10.1?
3) I love cm10.1's camera app, what rom (FXP, Cyano, Opensemc...) do you suggest to me?
Thank you all.
Stefano [ITA]
ps: i know that in the end of March/April will roll out Jelly bean, but i want to try 4.2.2 also..
Go and try, make a backup before... U got nothing to lose.. I am on cm10.1 open semc 04.. I think it is the best rom...

1)FXP's CM10 have no bug in it's latest stable ROM ,OpenSEMC's CM10.1 have some problem with FM Radio.(but it doesn't matter
2)You can't use nova kernel on CM10.1
3)All 4.2 ROM's camera are the same(Slim, CM10.1 ,PAC).
If you want a ROM that very stable, try FXP's CM10
If you want a ROM that high customation, try PAC (19 based on CM10(4.1.x) ,20 or 21 based on CM10.1(4.2.x)
If you want a ROM that daily use, try Slim Rom or OpenSEMC's CM10.1
sorry for my poor english :<
The main problem on cm 10.1 is HDMI and Fm radio is Not working perfectly.Most of the cm 10.1 rom is not battery user friendly.But as I think and as I have got battery is good on cm 10.Both of the rom are not yet stable.Many times rebooting by itself.Networking problem on both cm10 and cm10.1

Does anyone of you have issue with the mobile data network? I can't seem to get it working, but everything else looks/works quite nice on latest OpenSEMC.

Does anyone knows if anyone of those ROMS has camera support? I mean fullHD 1080p video and 12mp photos? And if there is support for 3.4 kernel ?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
In general, the main bugs are related to network, sometimes it disconnects itself and have to disable and reenable data traffic. Moreover, 1080p and FM Radio is not working in most of cases, but in general, CM10-10.1 ROMs are very stable.

Samsung Galaxy Note II in 2015/2016

Hello Note II owners,
I'm starting this thread about our beloved phone just to see what you people like to use most: what ROMs you think are the best and why, what Android version suits Note II the best, etc.
So please answer the following questions in their order:
1. What Android version works better?
2. What ROM do you like the most?
3. Do you think the developers of our phone are doing a good job?
4. Do you think Android 6.0 will work well on this phone?
5. Will Note II be still a good device for daily use in 2016 and after?
6. Do you miss S Pen special functions in custom ROMs?
Thanks for answering!
I really wanna know what it's best for this phone
1. 5.1.1 for me.
2. I like CM the most. Theme engine, lollipop, etc did it for me. I love lollipop and would never want to go back.
3. Developers have done a great job helping us out with our old devices including the Note 2.
4. It's questionable whether they'll support giving us 6.0 support, and/or if it will be stable.
5. For now, yes. Later, maybe not. I think an upgrade is long overdue if you still have a Note 2.
6. I have SPen features with SPenCommand. It's awesome.

CM11 nightly (official) works the best. More stable than stock 4.4.2
4
We will get the unofficial CM13 (Android 6.0)... And it will be working like most custom roms on xda (bugs bugs bugs)
5
If the official CM11 will get the latest security patches, then yes, it its very good device for daily use.
6
No at all.

That's weird. Before I upgraded to my experimental CM12.1 port, CM11 crashed all the time. Now, I've probably only crashed once in my time of using 12. There are app bugs but I don't think that has to do with CM. Only problem is the "can't connect to camera" issue which is a common problem anyway with CM12 and 11 alike.

Using the cm-11-20150813-NIGHTLY and beside one freeze of the camera app, everything is totally fine.
Not even one "crash" or reboot.
But if the latest stagefright patches will be not merged into CM11 i will look for a unofficial CM 12.1 port for the n7100 - for me, security matters.

Alarmingly horrible, to be honest. I'm going to get a ZeroLemon soon enough.
edit: not just lollipop from what I can remember, it's been pretty bad lately in general
I couldn't find any CM based ROM with Android 5.0+ which didn't give me any random reboots. The problem is the CM Kernel that makes some chip to fail and forces the phone to reboot. First I thought it was my insanse chip but someone with a sane one confirmed the problem too.
So, to solve the random reboots we are forced at this moment to flash Agni and I believe that makes the phone a little bit laggy after a while.
CM11 is the most stable now but has Video Tearing and that bugs me a lot. I used the latest nightly build from the official CyanogenMod site.
My Note 5 just arrived today and I think I liked my Note II more back in 2013, lol. But it's faster than my father's S6.
Maybe an AOSP by team Haxynox

Most Stable ROM for This Phone

I've flashed at least 7 ROMs at this point, and I have experienced nothing but boot-loops, crashes, camera issues, and random reboots. Each time that I have tried a ROM, I would have to eventually switch back to stock ROM because of the bugs. So my question to you all is, is there ANY ROM out there that has no common bugs like wifi connectivity issues, gps issues, boot loops, camera issues, etc.? I really want to find a stable rom for this phone because the stock rom is unbearably laggy and I know that this phone can be a lot faster than it is acting.
Thank you so much for at least reading this, and if you can give me an extremely stable rom, then I would be very grateful
Using cm12.1 March nightly
Hello, I have recently got this phone and mine is a d2tmo, so I searched many roms and checked out their comments section, but couldn't find any official cm12.1 topics. But did find CM12.1 Rom in the official website.
download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=d2tmo&type=nightly
have been running this rom from past 1 week, I think the battery is not good enough, but overall other issues dont seem to be popping around so freuently. Yes, I recommend it as a daily driver.
P.S: just today, CM13 Nightly has been uploaded, might not be the daily driver, but happy that there's Marshmallow for this 4 year old phone.
I've been using Slimkat 9.0 (KitKat 4.4.4) for over a year now. Fast, stable, bugsfree, minimalistic, easy on battery (24hr+ on 4yr old battery!) & efficient. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1183-d2lte -- try it u will love it

I had been dirty flashing (without really knowing what that is) the first android 6.0 rom for the S3 and it was going swell til they switched to the cyanogen nightly and everything broke on me, random restarts, Snapchat front camera never worked. But thank you for the recommendation, I flashed it (clean flash this time) and everything works and it's my daily driver now
