I've flashed at least 7 ROMs at this point, and I have experienced nothing but boot-loops, crashes, camera issues, and random reboots. Each time that I have tried a ROM, I would have to eventually switch back to stock ROM because of the bugs. So my question to you all is, is there ANY ROM out there that has no common bugs like wifi connectivity issues, gps issues, boot loops, camera issues, etc.? I really want to find a stable rom for this phone because the stock rom is unbearably laggy and I know that this phone can be a lot faster than it is acting.
Thank you so much for at least reading this, and if you can give me an extremely stable rom, then I would be very grateful
Using cm12.1 March nightly
Hello, I have recently got this phone and mine is a d2tmo, so I searched many roms and checked out their comments section, but couldn't find any official cm12.1 topics. But did find CM12.1 Rom in the official website.
download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=d2tmo&type=nightly
have been running this rom from past 1 week, I think the battery is not good enough, but overall other issues dont seem to be popping around so freuently. Yes, I recommend it as a daily driver.
P.S: just today, CM13 Nightly has been uploaded, might not be the daily driver, but happy that there's Marshmallow for this 4 year old phone.
I've been using Slimkat 9.0 (KitKat 4.4.4) for over a year now. Fast, stable, bugsfree, minimalistic, easy on battery (24hr+ on 4yr old battery!) & efficient. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1183-d2lte -- try it u will love it

I had been dirty flashing (without really knowing what that is) the first android 6.0 rom for the S3 and it was going swell til they switched to the cyanogen nightly and everything broke on me, random restarts, Snapchat front camera never worked. But thank you for the recommendation, I flashed it (clean flash this time) and everything works and it's my daily driver now

I've been using CM 10 and 10.1 nightly builds on my Verizon GNex for quite some time without issue. Yesterday I decided to try the Carbon Rom(4/22 nightly, 4/23 nightly and 1.6 Stable) and had the same issue on all.
I get no WiFi, or 3G/4G signal. If I try to launch the browser it flashes on the screen for a second and then disappears. It's basically unusable for me. I did a clean flash to make sure nothing from the CM 10.1 Rom would cause any issues but still have the same problems.
I really wanted to check out that Rom because it looks pretty nice and is supposed to be really fast.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try? The Rom itself installs fine, but once it's installed I have those issues.
I looked through a bunch of the forum pages for the actual Rom itself on here and didn't notice anyone else reporting these issues so I'm not sure why I'm seeing this. I've installed other Roms other than CM without issues.
Thanks,
Ben

Right now I'm trying the kernel that comes with Carbon. I did do a full wipe prior to installing the Rom.
I downloaded the Xylon Rom yesterday and that installed with no problems at all. So not sure why Carbon is having these issues on my phone.
i am using ak kernel 207
i used the kernel with the rom and had no issues with it also..but ak kernel + carbon = best battery
and the pa setting added now is a icing on the cake,i dont need anything else
WiFi is not working at all, I used TWRP, wipe and advanced wipe, but still can not succeeded.
Well, I am using the latest Carbon Nightly with SmittyV Kernel (also the latest one) and it's working pretty well
Not perfect because my phone sometimes shuts down randomly and it still has some issues like when using the Carbon Active Display with the default messaging app (the "unread message" notification doesn't go away even after I reply to the message and close the app with the back button) and it sometimes freezes the phone (making me have to remove the battery to turn it off and then reboot).
Other than that I'm not having any problems with Wi-Fi. Try to install another rom then install again the carbon rom wiping everything in both flashes
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.

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.
I Tried many many versions. Now i have ColorOs 2.0.8i very stable but it drain a lot of battery. I think the best version for battery is someone version from nameless roms, but i dont know which is enough stable for daily use.. For sure not the Nameless 3.0.
The version 2.0.8i uses a lot of ram, it has more than 200 system processes by default and most battery drained from andoid system than screen. The max time i could achieve is 3 hours.
With nameless 3.0 the max time was nearly 4 hours!
Also, each time i try to flash a custom or official rom i lost much time, cause there are either root problems, or recovery problems or other ( bootloop, modem, brick ) problems.. I hope there was a detailed thread about the exact method to install each rom.
Nobody knows?
Omni
Try omni rom nightlies 5.1.1 have been using for a while now. Works great. Has great battery life. Installed oppo camera apk. Works great. No problems at all
Is there any stable custom rom? Or only experimental and nightly versions?
Nameless ROM's latest is extremely stable. I've had a few reboots with CRDroid and Omni, but overall they're pretty stable too. MAYBE a reboot per day, maybe.
EDIT: Latest NamelessROM nightly has eliminated all bootloops and random reboots for me and many others.
On my M8, I'm running the ancient CM12.1 snapshot from November 2015. I've made the decision to update to the latest CM13 nightlies but I wanted to ask about their stability and any problems I will face. Thanks for your help!
I am using CM13 now more than half a year. Throughout this period, I encountered lots of great versions and only a few with noticeable bugs. Unfortunately my device sometimes crashes and restarts (on a daily basis) - I had this issue with almost every version of CM13, so maybe it is my fault and I should do a clean flash.
You dirty flashed from 12.1?

I would suggest always doing a clean flash from major version changes (such as CM12 to 13).
A dirty flash may work (don't recall if its a possibility or not going CM12.1>CM13). But if you have any issues, its probably due to migrating the data, and you should clean flash.
Not sure about the CM threads on the M8, but for my other device (Samsung Tab Pro 8.4), the thread says to not even bother posting a bug report if you dirty flashed (which I tend to agree with).
