I just tried Gummy and Slimkat yesterday. Gummy was ok, but no real improvement. I had AOKP 4.2.2 before. If anything, the navigation seemed to be more choppy. So I installed Slimkat and it's great! It's really really smooth and polished. No bugs that I've seen yet. It's fast and still has some of the customization that I wanted. Give it a try. Let me know if you try any other ones.

x2 on playfulgod's rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525351 I have been using the nightley downloads to this rom (ocasionally) and then update to the latest gapps file.
what about the battery life on this ROM ?
Cmetal or omnimetal are great ROMs, I've been on every Cmetal release, with superram kernel, easily get about 3 hours screen time and 10% battery to spare! Been my daily driver for about a month, tried other 4.4 Roms as well, but came back to Cmetal
sent from my GNEX running cMetal 11 Rom
Latest OmniMetal is awesome, great battery life
Could you, please, provide a link with this ROM ?
And by the way, is there a noticeble difference between Android 4.2.2 and 4.4 ?
Thank you

Battery life in my experience has been around the same as Jelly Bean (others may have a different opinion)

HUGE difference
how about a kitkat rom that has a working HD video playback ? most of the roms I tried has problems with HD video playback
I'm referring to the choppy or rubberband effects
Official CM 11 is most stable for me an will always have the best support an regular updates daily to keep it ahead of the rest.
I've tried Omnimetal, cMetal, SlimKat, Beanstalk, and CM11. Without question, Omnimetal is the fastest, it's what im running right now, I have two problems with it, there are very few aesthetic customizations (which includes convenience like quicksettings), and it breaks my wifi, it still works, but the signal is so weak that I have to be in the same room as a router to use it. That being said, I seem to get better service with Verizon running Omni. They're all quality roms, but they all have some bugs. If you want speed go Omni, if you want features, go with Beanstalk or SlimKat.
Been running CM11 nightlies(12/14) with Trinity. No reboots or SOD issues. Bluetooth works, wifi works, good battery. It's about the same as on 4.3 for me.
what about customization ? is like that, also
I tried CM 11 but i don't know how to change the color / size of the soft buttons, battery, clock etc
Any ideas ?
What are the pros and cons in comparison to 4.3 ROMs, like rock-solid Cataclysm 4.3?
Battery life for me is a lot better on 4.4.2 using cm 11.0 than stock 4.3 or any 4.3 rom ever was, also I no longer get all the lag I used to get with 4.3 an the constant bug report alerts which stock 4.3 used to give me in status bar which I found quite odd.For me kitkat is a vast improvement an 4.3 was a complete failure on googles part, well on my gnex anyway stock 4.3 was terrible.
i like omnimetal ..altho shinyrom and tiny's build of cm11 are both nice too...:good:
I have a question, are any of the lolipop roms working fairly well on the 5110? And if so which ones?
Also if not what kitkat roms does anyone recommend?

Try Cm and Pac.
Both are stable and working well beyond the, "fairly well" level that you are looking for.
I just flash my 5110 w/ PACman Rom. It's ok. A little hiccups here and there.
CM 12.1 has been flawless for me.
Does S-Pen work with w/ PACman Rom?
I recently went back to Kitkat because there was too much battery drain in lollipop. Also lot of apps were not compatible with lollipop.
So first of all I installed cm11, but stock cm is too boring for me. Please recommend some kitkat custom roms. Any roms are appreciated (eg AOSP, Touchwiz)
Grab an older version of IronRom. Still running this on my T800 as not enough changes for me to upgrade to Lollipop. Great battery life and speed.

Thanks! I'll try that out
I've been running 4.4.2 aosp for a while and want to try something more... It turns itself off sometimes which becomes inconvenient too...can you please suggest a Rom that's fast and stable for this phone with loads of options to customize?
I've rooted with twrp...
The most stable is going to be stock or stock with root to remove bloatware.

I understand, which stock firmware in your opinion seems to be the fastest and smoothest?
There's only 1 stock KK firmware for the s3 so that would be the one to use.
Stock was actually less stable then CM 13 (Android 6) for me. Hoping LineageOS makes 14.1 (Android 7.1) usable.

Thanks for suggesting
Here.
Strange that stock was not stable. I know several people still using the Canadian version of the s3 with no problems.
I've been using stock, seems extremely solid and stable in my use. Even the battery lasts almost a day for me... Using Greenify to help with additional drains too
I have a N7 2013 (flo) running Android 4.3 and I want to upgrade its software to something more recent. Suggestions?

Please!
I would be keen to know this as well.. I don't really need latest Android, I don't use the tablet that much and all the apps I need are still compatible with the Stock Android Version
Having said that, I always like having the latest so I firstly installed the latest Lineage 16.0 with Pie and found the device to be too laggy.. It wasn't unusable but enough to be annoying.
So I tried Resurrection Remix and found the performance to be a lot better but still some small lag. I went back to Stock to compare and it was smooth like butter
I guess the small lag is to be expected installing a PIe ROM? If this is the case, I will stay with stock but still with TWRP and rooted with Magisk.
However, if anyone can advise that maybe another custom or original ROM with an earlier version of Android is still smooth like butter eg Oreo or Nougat then I would happily give them a try.
Cheers

My version is Lollipop
As far as I know Nougat, 14.1 is still the most stable.
Here is a link to 14.1: It was official but is now being periodically updated by JT1510365 in an unofficial release.....

Thanks! Will give it a go

I've been happiest with this one thus far: [ROM][9][Pie][Flo][Deb[UNOFFICIAL] AICP P 14.0
Pretty snappy, excellent battery life, standby lasts days, lots of extras, and SElinux can be set to enforcing without breaking anything serious (imo). I haven't had any crashes either, that's a plus.
Stock marshmallow + elemental x kernel works well for me.
I put validus on my lads nexus, it works really well, but I've recently discovered it does not allow install of unknown apps, so I am looking for something else on Oreo or above which is fast, stable, and has good battery life.
I will try the ones mentioned above and post an update.

Just go into settings and click "allow apps from unknown sources (or sth. like that)

It doesn't work, installing unknown apps is blocked by the validus developer, hence why I need a other rom, lol
I´m use stock mod for me<+ Elemental X... is most stable... and battery
