Back to android on CM11

Hey guys back from IOS and I love CyanogenMod I have had it on all of my phones and tablets and I'm still sticking with it but I have been out of the game for a bit and I know you can't tell me that a kernal is better that an another but can you guys point me in the right direction to look?

Your best bet is to keep and run the base kernel thats in the final CM build, switching kernels can sometimes cause more issues than resolve.
Steer clear of nightlies, especially if you need reliability out of your phone.
Nightlies are the developer's way of trying out changes and tweeks on the build but using your phone as a test platform .
Other than that final builds can be quite stable and user friendly . I run CM on my tablets with battery life and performance that rivals any of the new or latest tablets.
Pp.

ktoonsez recently updated his kernel to run on latest CM11 and 12. If I were running CM, that'd be my choice. Just my .02.

[Q] Recommend a ROM!

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) on which I have installed Task650's AOKP ROM. I like the ROM, but as of a few months ago it is no longer supported by its developer. I've looked in the development forum, but the number of available Roms is pretty overwhelming, and I have no idea how to tell which ones are new and unproven and which ones are mature and stable.
What I look for in a ROM:
* stability
* battery life
* more devs = better (less likely the ROM will become unsupported, issues get fixed quicker)
What do you guys use / recommend?
(I'm super sorry if this kind of thread is inappropriate, I had no idea)

ROMs do not determine battery life unless something is broken. Your settings/setup/signal/syncs/apps/brightness all determine battery life. At best some kernel adjustments can be made to kill a battery or save it at the cost of some performance..again that is part of your setup. Go in development, look for the ROMs on the first page, those are the most popular...which is the same answers you will get here. Now look for the ones that are the oldest with the most changelogs...those are the ones that have been updated the most...then narrow it down to which features or theme that appeal to you most. Then try it for a few days. This way you can be sure to find the BEST ROM for you.

I am new to flashing but in the past two weeks I have tried few different Kk4.4.4 ROMs. I have found that all have issues with camera app crashing on GS3 i747m. I dont know why this is such a common problem. I have tried Liquid, Omni, Carbon, Cyanogenmod 11 nightly. All recent CM11 nightly have issues with camera freeze/crash, same for the others I have tried. Omni camera was ok, but Skype launching would cause phone to reboot (not everyone uses Skype, but to me camera issues are major fault of GS3 ROMs). So far the only stable I found was CM11 M11-snapshot (d2lte). I didnt try M12 yet, but M11 snapshot is by far most stable from all I tried, no camera crashes, all running smooth and stable. If that helps my current config is
GS3 i747m (Rogers unlocked rooted with CF-Auto_Root)
CM11 M11 snapshot (d2lte)
Philz Touch Recovery 6.48
I use Android L Theme at the moment
Baseband is I747MVLUFNF2
KitKat 4.4.4.

Basically all non TouchWiz roms on the S3 suffer from some sort of stability issues or lack certain features. I briefly tried CM and other AOSP roms and always came back to stock rooted or other various custom TW roms. I'm currently running SR3x 4.0 and it runs awesome and it isn't missing any features that are normally available on the S3.
Other people seem to be OK with a few glitches and like running CM, AOSP or other roms that are closer to stock Android.
It's really up to you an which way you want to go.

Looking for a KK ROM that supports 64gb sdcards.

4.4.x Debloated debugged stable ROM?

I'm new to the tab s, and I hope there is a stable and relatively bug free ROM that is not lollipop. Marshmallow is too new, so I hope for kitkat. I really like Cyanogenmod, but it looks like the earliest CM ROM is 12.x which, I believe, is android 5. Yuk. Not interested in terrible battery life. Any suggestion for a real solid, fast, debugged ROM for the SM-T700? I'm getting my new tablet tomorrow, and I'll be ready to root, backup and reROM right away. Hate the bloat! Thanks!

Not quite sure what you mean about terrible battery life. How is that related to lollipop?

Since a few days have passed, and I've done a lot more reading than the average person wants to do to answer these questions, and I've flashed a new ROM, I'll answer my own questions for others looking into similar questions.
It looks like many devices out there have suffered from the Android 4 to Android 5 updates, especially those forced by manufacturers. The biggest undesirable symptom being painfully reduced battery life. This is debated all over, especially since your mileage may vary. Since you can find these complaints much more frequently than with other Android upgrades, and since Google quickly released Android 6, it's safe to say there are legitimate issues here. Often people claim no such issues if upgrading to Android 5.1 (instead of Android 5.0) and/or if upgrading via a full wipe then clean flash. And since this is not explicitly the conventional update method for most users (again, mfg pushes update) then it's reasonable to assume updates from Android 4 to Android 5 may really just flat out "SUCK". Whether it's Google's fault or phone MFGs fault, it makes no difference to the end user; they will avoid the version of Android if they can't trust it.
As far as a better, stable, debloated KitKat (Android 4.4.x) ROM goes ...... sorry, too late. Pretty much all focus has been on getting Android 5 working properly. There are CyanogenMod 11 ROMs for the T700, but don't hold your breath for anything "official". I am now running CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) and it seems stable with no issues so far and the battery life doesn't seem much worse than it was when running stock the TouchWiz KitKat, which was nice but heavily bloated. This is after root, TWRP, backup, full wipe, then flash CM12.1 and gapps.
My first choice ROM would have been LiquidSmooth, because a lot of praise was given it for being stable and bug-free, but all the download links are dead, the website(s) are pretty lame, and the last builds are almost a year old, so I gave CM a shot, since there are still recent nightly builds, and it is working well.
On a side note: Android 6 (M) third party ROMS are still yet to be stable on all sorts of devices out there, and Google is about to release Android N, possibly as Android 7.
Cmon Google, get it together. Slow down and do things right, and quit making things worse, like the exSDcard restrictions.

The rom Cyanogen on the Oneplus3

Hello,
I currently have a sony z3 compact with the latest cyanogen output 12.1 nightly, the oneplus3 or oneplus3t interest me a lot.
I want to buy it, but I do not want to buy it without being able to install a version of cyanogen "stable" I saw that on the rom the camera does not work, there is quite a lot of Bug and the battery empties quickly.
I would like to know if you have more information about the rom and if you advise me to wait a little so that the bugs are corrected
Thank you

I'm using latest snapshot of the official CM13 and it works without an issues. There's also a camera port for improved quality (OxygenOS comparable) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/port-oxygenos-stock-camera-cm-t3451721

You can use whatever version you would like to. As my oneplus 3 being my daily driver. I know its hard to work with a buggy environment. I took my time and waited for a rather bug less os. And here it is. The cyanogen team just released the cyanogen nightly. Which is seriously dope. I get battery upto 1 day with just one charge. That too with dash charging. As it supports dash charging as well. Then only you would wonder whether the forum is correct or i m. See there are a lot of threads made by different community members. There was no official cyanogen thread created untill they released the latest nightly. So whenever you see some buggy page. It seems to be someone with a custom version of the cyanogen nightly. You can either opt for that or the one from cyanogen site. As using the basic version straight from cyanogen i can tell you. Its a serious deal. You get everything you could ask for. A debloated os with great performance and more than anything battery backup is humongous.
Although you still have to work around with some issues. But nothing's major. Plus the echo in call is there for some variants. While others had none. I had none personally. Just some minor bugs and issues. I hope will be solved within weeks. And you'll get a stable os soon. Opt for any of them. Choice is yours. My vote goes to cm 14.1 nightly from cm site.

A big thank you for your answers which are complete
I'll buy one more 3
Thank you :good:

Choosing a ROM

I want to upgrade my tablet but don't know which ROM to choose (it's a jungle out there).
I want "stock" Android or as close as possible. Also highest version number possible.
And stability is of course a requirement.
I just want to install once and then use my tablet. Not going to mess around more than required.

liquid death os was just discontinued but it was the best ive run on this tablet. the dev went to AICP which was just released in pre-alpha. its worth a shot but i haven't spent much time on it. both are android 7.1

Lineage is closest to stock (and pretty great last time I checked). I am using AICP as I love the customization options, and I have had no problems on it. It's actually been less buggy for me than Liquid Death was. It is on 7.1.2. I have experienced no stability issues whatsoever in the last 5 days of heavy use.
I'd definitely recommend checking out the threads for both in the development section and seeing what you think would work best for you.
