Not sure what you mean by pure rom. All Roms are pure. If your looking for stock based than IronRom or TWDetox are both really good. If your looking for AOSP then I think Liquidsmooth is at the top myself.

There is no such thing as best rom, it depends on your needs, I also find it a little disrespectful to other developers to ask or answer such a question to say xxx is the best rom. :thumbdown:
However if the question was what would you recommend based on experience then that would be a fair question.
Just flash every rom look what your looking for then keep it like me

That's exactly what I do to. Tried almost everything in these forums so far and found "my best" rom on this device...
Personally I like a stock deodex rom which I can then modify to my liking using xposed and debloating.
I use my own kernel which is stable.
At the moment my preference is Sweetrom and the latest Ironrom. Sweetrom is great because it's deodex, pretty stock with some extra features and has optional mods.
Why is everyone taking my question so personally? I only asked the question because I tried liquidsmooth for the T800 and the wifi was broken so I'm looking for one that is stable and not broken. I was trying to not throw liquidsmooth under the bus by my original question, but I guess I have to now to get opinions on what people are using and liking.

Pick the first nightly for liquid smooth, not the latest. The first one works smooth with no issues. Deadman (liquid smooth dev) hasn't had time to redo liquid smooth since he has other devices to work on. The first nightly for T800 works fine with no WiFi issues as I had it on a few weeks ago
For the most minimal or close to stock, I prefer SlimLP.

So I see two nightlies for liquidsmooth, 6-17 and 6-20. You are saying I should go with the earlier one?

Hello I've been using touchwiz based roms and feel like using a more vanilla based ROM and was wondering what's the best build and that is glitch free. I'd greatly appreciate your commentary

"Glitch Free" is a relative term. All 4.2.x Roms have some glitches, but there are many glitches that I overlook because they don't affect me.
That being said, the best way to find out which Rom you want to use is to try them out! The three that I always cycle through are:
LiquidSmooth (this is my base, I flash others to compare it to this)
Slim Bean
Carbon Rom
Now there are other ones that people have said good things about, including (but not limited to):
Deviant Xone
PAC Rom
Hope this helps, even though I basically just replicated the front page of the Original Android Sub-forum.

You can't really have a "best" ROM. The effectiveness of a ROM depends on the user. Every user has different needs. If you're looking for the most stable ROM out there, your best bet is staying on stock touchwiz. If you're looking to try out AOSP, you'll have to flash a couple of ROMs. I run Slim Bean build 3. The newest build is on Linux 3.4 and I have found bad battery life. Build 3 was released only a couple weeks ago. Using dkp kernel and Slim build 3, I have found these to be my "best" setup. I am finding very little bugs and I have great battery life and performance. You'll have to flash a few ROMs and kernels before you find out what works best for you. Have fun flashing! Good luck mate

@OP
If you're asking for a "best" ANYTHING, you should think twice before posting. As said, this is all relative. It depends on your usage, your definition of "stability", and what you consider to make something "good".
When I say the "best" I mean exactly what I said. What is the best to you and there are many ROMs that are very stable. But what's the most stable version of that ROM.

Guys...I want to hear about the best of the best Note 2 Roms for L900.
Right now my vote is with Carbon (07/09/13 Nightly) - 10 our of 10. GPS, MMS, Halo, Pie, Custom Kernel, Ribbons, etc. It all works right from the start. Not to mention...It's noticeably faster than SlimRom, Liquid (which still has MMS issues), and PAC-Man (which somehow drains my battery faster than other roms).
I want to hear your Reviews.
This has nothing to do with bashing developers or downtalking other people. I'm not interested in that. Let's stick to the facts and provide proof of why you think the rom you're running is the best.
This will also give newbies a little direction in our world.
Lastly, this is an attempt to give ALL developers an inside look at what's really important to the end-user.
LET THE REVIEWS BEGIN!!!
Yes the latest carbon rom nightly is very nice. The smoothest a d fasted aosp out there.
However, my complaint is wake locks.. It happens with ALL cm10.1 aosp rom..
Do you have wake locks too?
I'm running e: [ROM][MIUIv5][JB-4.2.2] MIUIandroid 3.6.28 port in by @lbxmobbin_1 and its one of the best Roms used in a long time.. Its very smooth and fast.. The ROM is excellent.. I haven't ran into any force closes.. Take some time and check it out ..

I feel the same way, but I don't have wake locks. I just flashed Carbon this morning so I'll report back if anything happens. Also, because I've tried LITERALLY EVERY aosp rom out now, I chose to revert back to unrooted stock, root it, install twrp, then flash carbon. I didn't want to chance having any GHOSTS in my system affecting performance. I'll report back later if I have any wake lock issues though.

Nice. Slim is a very close 2nd to me. I just don't like how the actual developers don't have an official release. I've been checking the website daily and it seems there is a SlimBean for many other devices except the L900. What's up with that?
Side Note: Did Plasma 1.66 fix the sound issues within the kernel?

Didn't see a similar topic sorry if there's one like this already. Those of you who use Cleanrom, can you recommend similar ROMs that focus on stability and speed? Scott said he's stop developing and I was looking at Liquidsmooth. Any suggestions?

Just because he "stopped" development for the MC3 builds doesn't make them bad...
His roms are excellent...and until an official 4.2.2 or higher build is released for this device...you are not going to find better TW builds anyway...g
Agreed. Scott's ROMs are as solid as they come, but if you absolutely have to flash something and you want TouchWiz, there's Jedi and Skynote.

I was holding out for cleanrom 5 on my recent warranty replacement, but decided to try skynote. I'm only on day 2, but so far it's performed equally well, although it is a bit more bloated.
I was also actually impressed with that stock Portuguese(?) rom that Scott posted recently. If I change my mind about skynote, I might just go back to that, and try to de-bloat it manually the best I can.
I recommend posting this in the Q&A section since it will probably get moved there anyway lol
I used both Clean ROM and Skynote, both are excellent but I love Liquid!!
I actually recommend this thread be closed.

Thread moved to the Q and A Thread, as that is where questions should go.
Thread also closed, as Best Rom threads are not allowed. Users must try and test roms on their own to determine what is "best" for them.
Looking for the most STABLE ROMs. I use GPS/Bluetooth frequently, and the ROMs so far I've tried have had some issues with BT. On Dirty Unicorn so far, it's great, but I want to try something else.
Sorry if this has been posted before, there's just so many ROMs to choose from....
I'll consider TouchWiz as well, but I love AOSP/Cm10.1. If I went TouchWiz I want something at leeeeast debloated..

IB4TL. Personal opinion is WOR5 for tw Rom and Pacman for the aosp side. Take a weekend and flash a few... just please read every OP and flash clean every time. Oh and make sure your changing to the correct modem If going back and forth between aosp and tw or you won't have data.

Yeah I read every OP and clean flash, and let the ROM sit for a couple hours before I give an opinion of it. Good recommendations though.

I personally like Slim Bean and as far as tw roms go. I like jellyverse and blue cuban. All three of these roms are rock solid. I think anyone of them could become one of you're go-to-roms....But as stated through out this site, everybody likes something different. Hence the reason there is more than one rom thread,lol.. Good luck.. Hope this helps..

I would suggest dandroid or s3rx. Dandroid is based from s3rx just aosp themed and heavily debloated. You may have to search a little bit for 4.1.2 of those but they are the most stable for me. Btw they both are stable on 4.3. Been running them as my daily driver for months and I used dandroid before on 4.1.2 which was also very reliable. S3rx for 4.1.2 gives you more of a choice in whats in it with aroma so that may work better for you.
I'm fine updating no sense in staying at 4.1 I was just stating that.. Thanks will look into those
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
i747z is a good ROM if you can find the 4.1.2 version - the 4.3 version is buggy, and the developer isn't much help for fixing it.
XDA does not allow best rom threads because in short there is no best rom.
