Cm11 because it patches the stagefright vulnerability, also it has better battery life.

Both good roms. Personally, I prefer slimkat because its really fast, I use the slimpie controls and im getting less play services crashes. Why not try them both? I have 2 nandroid backups just in case I want to switch it up. Hopefully someday we'll have dual boot...

In general what are the differences between SlimROM and CM? I see both for several devices, but I never tried flashing SlimROM. I assume both as very similar since they're both AOSP based.

This is all against XDA etiquette really. Flash both, check it out for yourself. Go with the one you like.

Before I used to use CM11 but now I am currently using slim kat. I think that slim kat is better it has more customization.

Best 4.1 ROM for our device?

In your own opinion what is your favourite 4.1 ROM available right now? I know this is going to be a very mixed bag thread but just for fun to see what my fellow t989ers are using

Rom All star v7 is
fantastic,awesome,perfect,amazing #1 for me...:thumbup::beer:
I'm using Official slim bean 3.1 with lightning zap kernel and I'm getting average 4 hours of screen time. My favorite rom so far!
CM10 Nightlies. I always get the most out of my battery out of it. Yet, the call quality on them kinda suck. People keep saying i'm breaking up while on a call.
Just to add I'm currently running slimstar and its pretty smooth on my end hasn't settled yet though

Depends what you are asking for. If you want performance, usually CM10. If you want battery, I'd also say CM10. For massive amounts of preferences go with PACman ROM.
Has anyone tried both cory's mod and slimstar?

Other than the data issue how was the ROM? Just another CM10 port?

I am praying for MIUI Jellybean based ROM. For now, Cory's Awesome Mod; It's a WIP but as of now ... It's minimal and is a reliable DD for me. :laugh:
I'm using Corys PAC rom love it best one I've tried so far

All Star V7. Oddly enough I had to flash the rotate fix on it but otherwise great. I tend to get between 4-5hrs of screen time (tested on a plane flight from Dulles to Vienna) per battery.
Slim Bean All Star v5 the best so far...

Cyanogenmod 10
I am running slim-star! I really like it. new build is 26.1 ... Currently re-flashing though because it wouldn't detect my network o__o so I couldn't call anyone.
ROM from GS2USR
I flashed almost all the ROMs and the best one so far is the "[P?+Aokp+Cm] P.A.Cman True All in 1 ROM[01-03-13]" by GS2USR . Using v 19.0 currently.
Very fast/ snappy, no bloatware, has all the options you can imagine. ANd everything works great. I went to other roms for change, but kept coming back to this for smooth sail experience.
Good luck brother !
Aokp. Its virtually bug free.

I wish (ROM-4.1.2-MS1) SlimAOKP Lite/SuperLite Nightlies (made by All-Star Devs) wasn't so buggy I do badly want that ROM to work!

Best T989 ROM Setup
Based on the advice of others who posted, I tried Slim Star v1.26, updated OTA today to v1.27. It is the best of all I tried for T989. No call echo, which was the deal breaker on a few JB roms. No WiFi issues, which I had with the latest CM10 nightlies. Here's the whole sequence of what I end up doing, after a lot of trying things
Flashed Slim Star ROM
Flash the Nexus boot anim from here
Flash Walkman.zip forget where I got that one from LOL, it was in the "Extras" or "Add-Ons" section of one of many ROMS I tried
Flashed latest ASD Kernel (probably overkill I know but I have good luck with this flash as far as eliminating Echo)
Bonus that ASD Kernel flash script does a cache wipe and dalvik wipe and reboot for me, so I do it last (3 less things I have to do in CWMR lol)
Wait 10 min (hardest part LOL)
Reboot, wait 1 min
Set up Google Acct but don't restore phone! Once I accidentally didn't uncheck Restore Phone and it won't let you go back! I had to start all over LOL
Slim Star comes with an app called Update Me, full of Awesomeness. I used the Add-ons menu in there to download a Extras.zip and it's own Slim-Gapps, reboot to Recovery and flash both of those
Today Slim Star did an OTA update of itself to 1.27, dirty flashed that, then set default keyboard to Android because I have to have gesture texting! It just never stops getting more Awesome! :good:
Also Holo Launcher that comes with Slim Star did a Play store update of itself to v2.01. Nice launcher that comes with Slim Star, I set as default, has really good solid Settings organization, never "forgets" my settings like some ROMs did, also wrap around Home screens which I missed for awhile. And it doesn't try to be Phablet, which personally for me I didn't like about some ROMs.
I then disable the following Apps that I don't use (don't know if this is a good idea or not, but it seems to work)
Apollo (I use Walkman)
Google Partner Setup
Google Play Music
Music
Picasa Uploader
Picasa Web Albums
Seeder

Phone is really running better than it ever has, after I followed these steps. Hope this helps others.

Anyone else having issues with AOKP?

I am running AOKP milestone 1, but I constantly have issues where my phone overheats, screen glitches up and has wierd colors, random reboots, and bad battery life. I don't know if it's an issue with AOKP or my phone. I tried jellybam, but for some reason, my camera does not work properly and I am stuck on phablet mode, even after switching to phone ui in paranoid settings. Everything is too small.
I am not sure what other roms to try. I am looking for one that's feature packed like AOKP and jellybam .. and very stable
Thanks.
In my opinion this is the best 4.2.2 and most feature packed rom available for the s3.

Flash keeps failing when i try to install this ROM.

[Q] is there any good AOSP ROM fro N7100 ?

i need an AOSP rom for my n7100 and i can't choose one
i need stable system and battery life saver ROM
Pretty much, all of the 4.2.2 based roms are good. Personally, I use either ProBam or Carbon. Anything that is 4.3 is still in alpha stages and are unstable

I second that, Probam v4.2 is really nice. Rootbox as well

For battery combined with no bugs, stability and speed I recommend thors rom, google tegraowners.net it's not on XDA. Carbonrom on here is a great rom too, I'd also combine it with thor's kernel.
Then last but not least, SlimBean rom! It's my current daily and battery with included kernel is very decent and it's the current AOSP 4.3 rom with the least bugs imo. If you really can't live with any bugs go for the 4.2.2 version.
Only bugs I have in SlimBean beta2 4.3 is graphic glitches in stock browser and gmail.. But it's absolutely doable, besides that it's ultrafast and the customisation options are sweet
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Probam is excellent..it has various features and is updated frequently (recently 4.3 was release)..I personally used it for 3 weeks and found it working smooth and lag free
Then comes resurrection and illusion rom..I haven't tried them but they were the 'rom of the week' in note2root site by zedomax

Well although its TW Alliance is good. It looks exactly like a AOSP Rom anf it even has the CRT effect but it keeps the S apps

Low gaming preformance on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3?

I did fresh install of Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 using CWM. The ROM is great, most stable of the ones I used (official ICS, Liquid Nitro and some other ICS based) it has very few random reboots, and I think that SD card is a reason to that. I really like the CM 10.1.3 but problem is that games simply work slowly. I have installed Fruit Ninja 1.8.8 which worked fine on other ROMs I tried but here it works slowl, and Subway Surfers for example won't even open. Is there any fix to this?
Also by the way... Should I flash p936 baseband since I live in Europe?
Any of the CM or AOSP based ROMs will give you poor gaming performance. Only ROMs based on official ICS will have the performance needed IMHO. With that being said, currently I am running NitroTNT, which gives me the best balance of battery, performance and stability. You might also try SphinX which is based off of official Jellybean. Even though it isn't as good as ICS for games, it still is a lot better than CM.

Why might this be? Is it because the official-based roms use the kernel for this phone while CM uses a CM-based kernel? Can we maybe get CM10.1.3 working with an official jellybean-based kernel? @lyfkevin maybe you can provide some input.

Hmm I didn't know about NitroTnT, because I didn't first see it in repository... Looked again now and found it! From the description it does seem good, I'm downloading it at the moment. Will tell you the results I got tommorow!
Well I couldn't wait tommorow The ROM is nice it works fast, games work and there was not a random reboot yet! That is most important to me... By the way... Why does on every ROM LG voice recorder crash while trying to send voice message on facebook messenger?

Hmm that happened when I used Liquid Nitro too, it might be an issue with messenger. I think I'll replace it with a custom voice recorder. Oh and 1 suggestion (maybe I should have posted it on the Nitro TnT thread) I think you could have removed the stock calculator... There are 2 calculators there Anyway thanks for the ROM! It works fine for me!

Umm sorry to bother you, but your ROM sometimes boot loops. It happened 3 times and I had to do hard reset. Any fix to this?

Go to the 1st post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297229 and download original NitroTNT theme. Install with CWM, some people have issues with the modified KronicUI mod. This will fix it. Sorry

Slimkat 4.4 ROM for Nexus best KITKAT ROM?

I have been using this ROM since it first cam out and am currently on the Official 1.6 version. The only glitches I have noticed so far are graphical when you rotate the screen and every once and a while it will freeze and reboot. I use this as my main ROM and it is smooth and works very well. The "OK Google" feature works well as does the google now. I don't think I have found anything that does not work yet. Just thought I would put this out there because I have tried all the others including the unoficial CM11 and as far as stability and battery life this one is the best I have found. Here is the link to their thread.

cant say anything about CM11, havent tried it, but there are no glitches in slimkat in the latest build.
cheers
The graphic glitches are fixed in all cm11 based roms. But please: there is no best ROM and there will never be. Just try it when you are curious..

I know that all ROMs are different and that each one is better in a different way. All I meant was which kit kat ROM is GBE best so far due to they are all still in their alpha builds and some are pretty glitchy still. Slimkat is a really nice ROM with only the rotation glitch left And I have flashed the latest CM11 as of last night and so far no rotation image glitches, no reboots and runs very quick and smooth.

The glitches are fixed on the surface, but below it's not a true fix - the drivers for gpu are not updated. It's more like a band aid, you can see when webview slows down in the gnex.
