Hello,
My GF's S4 Mini is 2 years old, not a single hard reset, with unrooted stock ROM.
She is happy with performance and with phone in general but battery is bust, it barely holds for 10 hours with light to medium use.
She uses her phone for WhatsApp, Messenger and occasionally taking some photos.
I am not sure though which version does she have. I can find out that later today but meanwhile I would be grateful for your advice.
It doesn't have to be the newest ROM version, it has to be reliable, with good battery and preferably with stock camera app.
Thank you!
There is no perfect rom. Keep the rom she is using. Change the battery , after 2 years is busted as u said
It could also be old problem that battery was draining fast even with 3g/wifi/gps OFF. That`s a motherboard problem that can be fixed by changing motherboard or with a custom kernel that have the fix implemented. Stupid thing is, after u install a custom kernel, u need to root phone and disable Knox apps or they will bother u. Search what version of S4 mini she have, what rom she have and start from there to search. I have for example some kernels with fixes for that problem, but first read on forums.
The above being said and valid...
... I find that this ROM: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151026-serranodsdd
works pretty well for me. It is stable enough. You would have to root and stuff but its worth a try.

+1. RR LP 5.5.8 is very stable and battery friendly and also Blisspop 4.0.3 last two versions are good enough. BUT, in these 2 fantastic roms i have found a major bug (at least for me) that during incoming calls most of the times my contacts dont show up their names (only numbers) or sometimes very lately. I asked the devs about the problem but did not get any reply. So m back now to PAC rom KK 4.4.4, i used it for around 4 months continuously before i tried lollipop roms. Stable, good battery(05/01/2015 version) and hell lot of features.
N.B: The above is based on my experience only. It may very from person to person. And also it does not imply that other roms are worse or better, because i have not tried all of them.
What I have observed is temperature and the kernel have big impacts on battery drain. Stock 4.4. drains the battery much slower than 4.2., and the Cyanogenmod kernels also use up less juice than the stock roms.
the same
I have same issue. 2 or more years i9195 with stock 4.4.2 android. Battery drain is about 1%/hour at idle (sleep). When using it raises to 2-5%/hour. I want any other ROM or kernel that drains less battery. Please help
My phone has almost two years. Battery remains excellent. No tricks, such as calibration, etc.
In my experience the best ROM Stock based is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/gt-i9192-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-4-4-2-t2832673 .
I never installed another kernel, etc. in its use. I tried several ROMS CM based but always came back to this rom for stability, reliability, battery.
But lately I have been interested in Android M.
And I was already giving up again when I decided to use CM13 (feb / 21) by K2wl without GAPPS (Open GAPPS) or Custom Kernel.
My intention is to test CM13 in its purest possible code.
So far it has been amazing. No call issues, great battery (as in SilviuMik ROM). etc
I'm curious. Will this time be able to use a ROM CM based for more than two weeks without problems with Call and battery? If this happens it will be worth testing other GAPPS.

I do not think so. But this is not a problem. Just try the kernel to 95:

I believe that all you need. I never got to use debloated version of this ROM. I'd rather do it manually.

I used the official CM12.1 nightlies (& kernal) for about a year on my I9195, in the first few months I did get almost weekly random restarts, as you might expect on a nightly, but towards year end almost none. Then I installed the last Snapshot YOG9 (or whatever) and didn't get a single reboot in months.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-s4-mini-t3100159
Currently I'm on an unofficial version of same CM12.1 that has latest monthly security updates patched (which will be built until a stable release of CM13 is out) as the official CM12.1 development has stopped due to CM13. I've not had a single crash or reboot on this CM12.1 ROM, so that's about 6mths with no problems all together.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3300836
My wife is on CM12.1 (NightOwl) too on her old Note N7000, she has not had a single problem in the 2mths since I installed it. So long story short I'd say almost any version of CM12.1 is now very stable (provided you clear caches etc when installing and don't load dodgy apps )
CM13 version not suggested yet?
The best choice is the updated CM12.1?

I have been using cm13 nightlies ever since it came out. Almost updated every new package. Since then i had to revert it twice. For me so far it's stable. Using it with gapps pico. But do nog use any extended cm13 roms like bliss or rr, as they are highly unstable, lagy and full of buggs.
Have a nice day to all. I have an i9192 (GT-I9192ZKAAFR, S4 mini DUOS) with the latest original I9192XXUBNB1 ROM and the CSC is I9192OJVBNB1 (AFR / Kenya / AE). I have to use this phone again and it is horrible. Often becomes hot and unresponsive. Sometimes just simply shutdown itself or reboot. That is why I moved to another phone but that is in service now. Otherwise this is an amazing little device. I decided that it is time to take steps towards to a more stable ROM. Phone has Knox and it is still 0x0. Manufactured in 2013 and bought in 2014 so support has definitely gone. Therefore I am not really keen on Knox status but would be great to keep 0x0.
I am a Hungarian user and I would like to use Hungarian language on the phone. I see some ROM recommendation here. Is that true for Hungarian language as well? What about different region, modem or so? Are these ROMs working on my device? Is it possible to revert my phone to any factory version? I am not familiar with flashing ROM on this phone but read some tutorials and more or less trained.
Hi,
I'm on Exodus (+ Gapps pico) & very happy by the quality of this rom. (I haven't tried many other roms though)

You don't need roms for that, you need kernels try Franco's kernel. Cynogen is the most stable and bug free ROM out there.

Thanks a lot.

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/
Get the latest version from here and be sure to select the correct device or you know..... Brick etc...
You can find many kernels on the development section of your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development this is for maguro
You can use others but I prefer using Franco kernel as it is very easy to flash (you can download it's app from play store just type Franco kernels and download it. You can use auto flash option from it)
Remember these things are very tricky,it can make your device unusable if you install it incorrectly so..... Take care
And yeah nightlies are official so you better get them from their website as they are fully tested and it is less likely to go anything wrong with them

I know that people generally stick to Cyanogenmod due to it's stability, but I think it is overrated due to the fact that they support so many devices. I would prefer ROMs where the devs actually have the device, and focus on the device since they plan to have it for a while.
With that being said, here is my favorite ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omnimetal-linaro-omni-rom-t2550477
I haven't had any issues (like apps that force close) on it, and apps run fine. In fact, I have also switched to ART and it is pretty stable and blazingly fast. My test was its battery life, and it lasted me close to 7 days on standby with groove ip running on it (receiving calls, texts, etc.), and 2 days with active usage with a sim card.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for atleast reply and suggesting me some ROM which is i ever try.. but now i am little confused, for selecting ROM, I made my mind as per last reply ROM from CM11 Nightly and Kernel From Franco but now OMNI i need to learn about that too.
Can anyone have suggestion on that or give me little more light on ROM.
Thanks
Its good to have choices
If you are new to flashing ROMs, usually CM 11 is an excellent choice.
However, to me speed, low RAM consumption and good battery life matters, so here are the reasons why I chose that ROM:
1. Linaro toolchain - Here is a link to explain why it is faster than standard CM:
http://www.androidauthority.com/linaro-android-is-up-to-twice-as-fast-as-stock-android-92831/
2. Dirty_V kernel - For speed, most of us Nexus users feel it is the best. It is an improvement over Franco's kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-dirtyv-t2613655
So, I usually choose a ROM which uses the linaro toolchain. I also got a ton of cool features like notifications, omniswitch, etc. which you can read about in the ROM link from my previous post.
In the end, I am just giving you suggestions. Why don't you try creating a nandroid backup and then flashing many ROMs to see which one you like? Using the nandroid backup, you could always come back to the tried and trusted CM 11 !
Here is a small intro to nandroid backups which may be useful even in the future in case you mess up your phone with a bad update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/NANDroid
Hope this helps! :good:
I'm switch between 2 Roms.
Remix
Vanir
Bothe stable and fast.
CU
Litening
Thanks really ! I'll definatly read and try on of that, but first I'll take nandroid backup and learn how to restore etc.
CM11 is good but some time its response very lately specially when charging.

You might want to try omnirom (google for omnirom download, you want the maguro version).
They push daily updates (I install updates every 1-3 weeks). They closely track AOSP (meaning a new AOSP will be made available ASAP). It's a very stable rom and I'm running it my nexus 4 and a modified version on my Galaxy Nexus. It's been incredibly stable and reliable so far. Oh, and its 4.4.2
No try omnimetal! No try vanir! No try liquidsmooth! No try Xenonhd!. So you need to test everything. These threads are useless and not allowed. Choose one you like. Every rom is stable unless specified otherwise..

HI, I tried all the 5.0.2 and 5.1 roms (didnt tried 5.1.1) all hav same problem in slight multitasking the phone just hangs it doesn't respond till I reboot it, and chrome doesnt work at all bcoz as I browse in chrome after a page or two the phone hangs. It only happens in lollipop, all kitkat roms r working fine.
Plz tell a rom that doesnt hang on multitasking. Say as per ur experience..
I loved CM12.1 r4. And for pure AOSP experience SlimLP(Have to say it is too good) and currently on EuphoriaOS. It is also awesome. These are what I loved. And I used xcelerate custom kernel on CM12 r4 which greatly enhanced my phone. This varies between users and i highly advise u to try and get a feel yourself. Multitasking is a breeze in these as far as I know.

Theres no LP rom that perfect with no bug whatsoever, all still in development ATM, but everyone have their interest to what are the features of each custom rom has offered.
So everyone had their best fit to their needs, gaming or daily use.
IMO, at least you can read their feedback post at each LP custom rom you interested at and decide it by yourself
I just want to use apps like chrome, wa, fb, fk, at once and kikat roms do it well but lollipop lags like hell

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.
1&2
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
hello guys I'm new in the forum ... Can you tell me what the best rom for s4 mini based on lollipop
hi, I was just about to start the same thread.
I had 2 or 3 custom roms installed but I had some bluetooth and camera issues so I went back to stock, but it's so bulky I actually started to consider buying the new Moto G.
Can you recommend some fast and stable rom? It doesn't matter if it's 4.4, 5.0 or whatever. I just want it extra smooth and stable. What is the most stable and lightweight custom rom for 9195?
Try the latest snapshot of CyanogenMod for your model (serranoltexx) in combination with a good & up to date Gapps package...maybe OpenGapps
I´m using Mokee (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/5-1-1-rom-mokee-opensource-project-t3109249) as my daily driver and its working flawlessly
My setup
I'm on the release branch of serranoltexx and only update on new releases (called snapshots there). I was on nightly before and it was actually pretty stable, but found it was not worth the time to update it all the time.
I've however flashed a custom kernel, "f4ktion_lp_2.3.1-eur_lte", and I'm overclocking it to 2GHz on demand (didn't quite feel for maxing it out, be careful). I'm using SetCPU for this. I can't remember but I think I needed "PerformanceControl-2.2.6.apk" to unlock the overclocking tho.
Other than that I'm using the standard Wakelock detector and BetterBatteryStats to keep battery life good. (I know this is not the ROM, just saying as you sound a little green).
That's about it. Remember to keep good NANDroid backups on your SD card each time you install a new kernel / ROM, or update your existing one (before hand). I also like to, when making a clean install, keeping a NANDroid of my clean install with all my apps installed and configured.
WHAT I DON'T GET HOWEVER, is that you are saying you are having stability issues? Mine is running as a dream. (i9195 bought in Denmark, unlocked, 1 year old max, the old dual core version).
I'm on serranoltexx 12.1 (Android 5.1) and it's working beautifully. The only thing I see is gallery errors when trying to add an image from the gallery to a contact. I've seen this on a lot of ROM's, it's weird.

hi,
I installed the original CM12.1 yesterday and I'm really happy for now so BIG THANK U, I suppose I was just too extra careful. Things got much improved since I last had CM installed on my mini; R4GM1X - just install the newest stable 12.1 and you'll be as happy as I am now.
Hi Everyone,
Been looking at some of the latest custom ROM's for the SM-P600 and it's been difficult to find one with a working and stable camera. Do you have any suggestions on a ROM that's hopefully newer then kit kat and has a camera that doesn't crash after taking multiple pictures with flash and needs to be rebooted every time. Noticed it's a very common problem with the CM based ROMS.
Thanks!

I find 5.1.1 based Samsung roms better than CM ones (more features, better battery and of course camera) but it may be just me.
Unfortunately we don't have many around so just install the latest official one for your region, root and delete the bloat and you'll be fine. They're kind of slow roms compared to CM (but not by much) but IMO it's worth it given how many more features they offer...

Thanks for the advice! Installed the latest 5.1.1. samsung rom and everything is much better now. No crashes, deleted the bloat and camera is the best it's ever been.
I am looking for a P600 US Samsung 5.1.1 ROM and can't seem to find it?
Can you guys point me to one?
