Hey guys ,
Im new to the Galaxy S III forums and I was just wondering based on testing/results which ROM would be best to run? There are so many out there that i'm just not sure which one to choose. I wouldn't mind a JB ROM but i'm just not sure how stable they are. Please let me know what ROMs have been working out best for you guys.
Thanks,
Indian
if you want a very stable rom, go with triune II its an ics based rom, and if you want a stable jb rom go with smartguys rom
If you don't mind losing touchwiz (I don't like it...but some do) then CM 10 is very stable and fast. It is jellybean based.

Hi all,
I just bought a galaxy note 8 and rooted it. I installed the Cyanogenmod rom but dont really like it.
I do like that it is a lot faster than the stock software.
Can anyone recommend a ROM on here to try. I see there are lots available but dont know which one to go for. If anyone has one of the roms from here and loves it, please let me know so i can try it.
Also, now the device is rooted, i can just wipe and install ROMs using the clockwork recovery program right?
I've installed the CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.1 ROM now. Much smoother and looks more like the stock rom

Cosign. It's in my opinion the best performing ROM for my needs.
the number of ROMs is not that big, go and check for yourself - generally the "best ROM" threads are usually closed by the mods, rather sooner than later

Although the options are not in abundance I also would recommend CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.1 ROM I think it's the best for the note 8 & IMO one of my fav jellybean ROMs overall.
Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for about a year and have just been running stock Android. I would like to try installing a custom ROM on my phone.
I am planning on using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit program to unlock and root my phone.
Now, to my question. There are so many ROM's available that I feel overwhelmed when trying to choose which one to use. My only requirements in a ROM is that it has to be stable and give good battery life. Can someone recommend a good one for me to try?
Thank you!
Its hard to anwer it because everyone has its preference since every device acts differently with certain ROM. For example, I use OmniMetal and Im pretty satisfied how it works. You should try few ROMs and find which one suits you best. Read some topics, decide which options you need, and which you dont, which Android version you prefer... Maybe you should start with some standard ROMs such as CM, AOKP, AOSPA...
As I alread said, its question that is hard to answer, and its also disrespectful to every dev since they are all doing it for free

I'm a guy like you who don't want the hassle of updating the rom every week or so. I moved to cm11 from stock 4.3 rom. But flashing a new nightly every other day to be up to date is not my thing. I do follow forums regularly but don't not a flash-a-holic. I know cm11 is very stable and i can stay on a milestone release. But knowing that an update is a available is available makes my hands itchy to flash it. Suddenly shiny rom 4.4 appeared on our threads. It's close to stock. Just like how stock 4.3. Been running shiny from a month. No issues as of now. Paired shiny rom 4.4 with dirtyv and my phone is smooth.
If you are looking for a stable rom like stock 4.3. I'd recommend you shiny rom.
If you want a fully optimised featured rom, go with cm, omni, liquid smooth, vanirs, pa etc. Let me tell you. Every 4.4 rom out there is smooth and stable. But flashing roms every week to be on latest is not my thing. So i settled with shiny 4.4.

Thanks! I will give Shiny ROM a try.
I mean, anything that says STABLE on the thread title or thread will let you know. SlimKat is stable and it works great.
Once you decide on which ROM to run I highly recommend installing gravitybox using Xposed Installer, which will give you just about every customization/feature/option that's available on most custom ROM builds.
Seriously almost evrry rom is stable. I cant think of one that isnt..

If you want stable kitkat on your gnex just flash latest cm 11 nightlie otherwise just use stock jb 4.3 with xposed installer an gravity box module for extra customization.Forget about every other custom rom because cm is the godfather of roms an usually way ahead in development.

Can't say anything against that, only custom rom I've tried and I see no reason to change it. The nightlies get updated OTA wich is smooth as silk.
Like others have said, if you are looking for a ROM with a few more customization features than stock, CM11 nightlies are pretty stable. I'd recommend starting with that and see how your device responds. I had been on the omni based ROMs for a while but I just tried the new Paranoid Android Beta 6 ROM by sd3993 and it is running so smooth. Almost all other ROMs I tried had slight issues like the music stuttering when I turned on/off my screen, which I haven't seen on this ROM. I have yet to see how battery life fares, but it is performing spectacularly in terms of smoothness. Once you have found a ROM that is to your liking, then maybe research flashing some kernels and start unlocking some true power on your device. Good luck in your search!
Thanks for all the replies! :good:
I'll go ahead and add Slimkat and CM 11 to my list to try.

This is the first time I've heard of gravitybox and Xposed installer. Has anybody a got a link to a good walkthrough?

gravitybox doesn't have custom animations right? i quite like that in OmniROM..
I'm using parandoid android, it's still on beta, but for me is the best, very smooth, and stable
I'd recommend CyanFox. Its stable, good amount of customizations and feels quite snappy on my nexus. Also, gapps are integrated...

I'm using omnimetal rom. It's smooth and have a special feature--multi-window. The rom is also stable, no reboot or any serious problem.
i need a bug free and decent battery life touchwiz 4.3 ROm Please
If you need a debloated ROM, try supreme bean. It has a very decent battery life.There are other options like hurricane, Phoenix too !

Try DN3. Its great. Now on Kitkat also. Splendid.
Nothing is 100% bug-free (even official Samsung builds).. but for the least bug-free experience... avoid KitKat roms. Some are good, no doubt, but still have more bugs than those based on official 4.3 firmware.
Good ones mentioned already... my vote are for Hurricane and Revolution HD - but always read up on each thread to see what bugs are present (to see if you can live with them).

no 100% bug free. This is a development ROM
it is not a developed ROM. hahaha. Devs will always try to do their best to support.
At the other end, users must read carefully the OP and thread. Most of the times, when you read the OP properly, and its thread as well, you will closely get a bug "free".
Because most of the times, problem that you face with ROM, other ppl had experienced it before, and there's a solution inside the thread. What you need is search on the thread, read carefully, and you are good to go.
Cheers.
A really stable Roms like omega and android revolution HD.
Full with features, go for phoenix.
That's my choices.

I haven't tried other 4.3 TW ROM ever since I rooted my phone 3 months ago except the one in my signature called " Jelly kat".Flash the V3 of this ROM and also in my signature you'll find power box tool link by the same developer check it out and customize the Rom, It's better to use TWRP to flash power box tool since it's aroma based installer and philz touch 6 doesn't play too well with aroma link to latest TWRP is also in my signature.Battery life will vary from person to person since no two people use the phone same way , also there are two kernels devil and agni which you can try to maximize the battery life. I don't play with custom kernels yet I'm happy with stock kernels for now

I know most ROMs are lollipop, and devs are probably focused now on Android M, however I would really like to try some good kitkat ROMs. Reason? need to test performance ?.
so, any good kitkat ROMs that you can recommend, I'd appreciate it... CM preferably but I can also do TW.
cheers!
Me too....I'm running stock 5.0.2 but it doesn't work with usb dacs. I hear the original kitkat 4.4.2 worked great with dacs.
So yeah, any good recommendations for TW kitkat roms. ...or for that matter, any good roms out there at all that support usb dacs?
