Currently I use MIUI (1.11.11), but it has a few bugs like WLAN is not reconnecting. The speed isn't that good, but MIUI looks better than most roms
I'm looking for a stable and fast ROM.
Perfect would be:
-Android 2.3 or higher
-NO big bugs
-720p recording enabled
-support for the bigger Defy+ battery
Any suggestions?
CM7 last stable?? Allredy stesting battery on it. No major bugs, stable and really fast, faster than MS2Gibger and stock 2.3.4. I had only one FC from yesterday when I installed it and it was Market when installed 62 apps at the same time.
Sent from Defy+ CM7 (7.1.0-11)
CM7 is fast and stable. But does it support HD video capture? I have installed MS2ginger2.1. Supports many languages. It is fast enough I think and supports HD video capture. Moreover, the battery life is amazing. There are some posts about it...
Looks like CM7 is gonna get installed. 720p is not that important (just nice to have).
Does it support the bigger battery or does it get stuck at 83%~ and won't charge anymore? MIUI (whis is based on CM) has this bug.
720p maybe gonna be supported in next CM7's and You need to patch battery support but didn't tried it yet. I'm using 1500 from old Defy cause I didn't format 1700 yet and still testing this build and it's still connected to pc.
Hey !
I'm also looking for a smooth & stable rom.
I don't need the last features.
Currently, I'm using CM-10-20131030-NIGHTLY. Which doesn't crash and so, but it's not smooth.
I didn't install any widget, and I got battery drains.
Any recommendation ?

Hi,
the OmniROM 4.4.2-20140202 is very smooth and stable.
Links are in the development thread.
Hi !
It's still under development it's it ? I'm a bit afraid of something that has not been tested and validated for a while.
I don't need the last version of Android. I just want something smooth and stable.
The last Android 4.4.2 (kitkat) is the fastest Android version for the Defy.
That's why I also recommend the OmniROM version and not the CM11 version. OmniROM runs with me stable and very fast for 1 month. If you want to take it try not the latest version take the 20140202 version.

Thanks for your suggestion.
As my phone (Nexus 5) will soon be back from repair, it didn't take the time to reinstall my phone.
But if I need to reinstall my defy, I will follow your advice.
CM7 not faster than CM11?
What about White Rabbit 1.7.1 or Maniac?

Been using this rom since yesterday, so far so good
UI seems a *little* bit laggy sometimes compared to the stock 2.3.6 GB rom, but so much more functionality in Omni.
What about battery life with Omni? Better than stock rom?

Highly recommend SlimKat, anny build you like. I'm running two defy+ on it, one on 3.85 build, other on latest 4,both very stable, didn't notice anny bug,no random reboots, no lag, memory & bat. friendly, amazing look... thanks to TJKV and all contributors on this GREAT ROM.:good: Just try it!
Im using slimkat too its really good except the camera doesnt work for me when i use it my phone reboots :/
I'm on SlimKat build 4.0 since release and it's a great rom. Battery life is reliable and it's fast and stable. The camera works fine (720p etc).
Theres only issue with reboot to recovery, which can be easly fixed by replacing one apk (click).
And sometimes battery percentage is stuck at 99-100% (click).
My settings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52086816&postcount=19
There was a great 3.6 build which was almost bugfree for me (at least it didn't need any fixes).
so am i the only one with the camera problem on slimkat?
Have no issues with camera (did you set up Video Encoder to MPEG4?), just one or two reeboots in to recovery since i'm using SlimKat, but there is an easy fix like Stoku wrote. Yes, that little bug about battery percentage...
All in all - feel like my beloved Defy is reborn, fresh, fast, stable...feel like i have 3/4 of new phone:victory:
Again, thanks a lot to TJKV, thanks to all of you kind and good people for spending your time and sharing your knowledge with all of us! THANKS!:good:

After a while of using this (Omnirom), the only slightly annoying bug I encountered was that the camera would stop working (regardless using the stock camera app or another one), after having taken lots of photos.
A simple reboot and the camera would work again

So it's very like stock rom, my green lens defy always did that.
I'm now on CM11 and camera is (at least) as stable as stock, haven't had the camera stopped working..
Good to know.
I have a green lens too.
Now running the latest homemade Omnirom build (omni-4.4.2-20140518-mb526-HOMEMADE.zip) from Struq's google drive.
I shall see if the same bug occurs.
Simple Question. Why are you using the ROM and Kernel that you are using. What does it give you that makes you stick with it?
ROM: - CyanogenMod 11
The most popular ROM available. Has some really good features and provides quick updates. Though I am thinking of switching to another ROM because it's become real slow now.
Kernel - - DirtyV
Definitely the most popular Kernel on the forums now. Much faster than CM stock Kernel. Battery life is average.
ROM - Dreams – Because it's my built and it has everything what I need.
Kernel - AOSPA kernel with some minor changes by me – Because I don't flash custom kernels. ––Soon 3.4 kernel when it works on tuna!
I've tried several roms and ultimaetly, I got tired of flashing a new rom every week (sometimes 3-4x a week) and I landed on Vanir with their stock kernel.
It's not amazingly great, but it will do until I found one that better.
Anyone?
Have tested every ROM to date from 4.2 to 4.4.2 and I still have been using PA 4.1.2 ROM w/Zen kernel combo for the past 1.5 yrs, since it's the only one that works exactly like I want and also stable.
Main features being full tablet mode w/status/navigation/notification bar all at the bottom(if needed) but mostly used in extended desktop mode w/out the crappy built-in ROM PIE Controls, fully functioning stock browser:
LiquidSmooth - many features but no slowdowns like on some other ROMs
Fancy or DirtyV - constant and frequent updates to make them even better

How old is your battery?
Cause it shouldn't be much older then mines and I'm still getting a full days worth of battery life from 4.1.2 ROM.
That's including 40+ mins of BT audio streaming in the car(BT is never ever toggled off), 20+ mins of talk time, all play store updates are auto over data, push email, weather/stock widgets update every 30 mins on home screen and screen set to auto brightness.
Might be worth it to buy a replacement battery.

I never bought another battery, so its around year and 7-8 months. I would buy it but Im thinking to buy new phone soon anyway so thats the reason I stuck with this poor battery. And I know battery is not that old but I charge it like 2 times at least everyday, maybe thats the reason it lost some of its capacity.
Anyway, your resulsts are amazing, espcialy BT turned on all time

CM11 snapshot build give me the best what i want.
Rom: CM11 - Dont know why
Kernel: Fancy forever
LiquidSmooth + DirtyV or SmittyV, total badass performance and bleeding edge commits
CM11 Snapshot + DirtyV-SR
CM is really stable and pretty close to the stock while having few useful features.
Dirty-V is suuuuper smooth and SR version gives additional RAM.
resurrection + fancy 45. super smooth and fast
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.

hi guys, i'm love my new find7a, everything is nice except the battery doesn't last long. It's also cool to have VOOC, but it's annoying to charge at least twice a day. I'm wondering is there any rom and kernel that last longer than the stock's one?
thanks
OmniROM.
I'm using CM 12.1 and I'm getting one full day with moderate use although I'm not using it for games, with limited usage I still can get 2 days of battery, what I'm seeing you are having simillar stats
CRDroid while using Greenify and xposed framework and a clean set of gapps
Exodus rom is the rom to go. No BSODs, good performance and feature-packed as hell^^
Slimsaber
Love this rom, with exposed and privacy setting, getting awesome stand by time
AOSPA
I am using Paranaid Android with unified storage right now, there is a official stable version.
Does this support unified storage?
for me MIUI 7:
support LVM
support Maxxaudio
support ColorOS Camera
support Gestures
great perf
max customization
weekly updates
for the moment it's based on KK but the rom is still in beta. Stable will arrive soon and probably based on L.
I've been running CM since about March this year, still have numerous glitches
Random reboots, lag, newest problem is a loud continious noise from the speaker that requires me to reboot the phone
Im considering a full wipe and reinstall of the latest version of CM12.1
Coming from a Nexus device, I hoped CM on my G3 would be 'stable' now, and pretty bug free, its still annying having to play with CPU governors etc. CM keeps getting changes, but I see very little change on my phone. I would rather efforts went into fixing these bugs than new features.
Can anyone recommend the any particular ROMs ? Dont want to go away from CM, but its driving me crazy now!

Stock. Custom ROMs are cancer and will be (atleast for G3).

AICP and Blisspop are stable and work well, but to play it safe go with stock based like CloudyG3 or Lion Rom

Ill check out some of those. Dont really like LG's stock ROM though. Traditionally first thing with a new phone is to wipe it and install CM
you can try xenonHD or telsa,
I am with CloudyG3 2.5 but I would to try an AOSP ROM, which one do you recommend for daily use (stable and fast). I know that one of the main weaknesses is the poor quality of the camera...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-euphoria-os-1-0-t3048515
You can try this rom
As stock rom, clear cloudy 2.5 was stable and as far as aosp roms, xenonhd is the best for me as a daily driver, or euphoria 1.1 but this one had some problems at least for me.
