Hello,
A friend sold me his M8 phone and I have managed to unlock and install the latest twrp on the device, obviously I am still s-on but as I am currently on the latest baseband I won't really need s-off as the moment.
There are so many roms for this phone, but what I am after is a stable rom with good battery, and a stable camera app.
I am currently running the last Leedroid rom, and while it is a nice rom is does seem to get a bit laggy at times with the occasional FC.
I am not bothered whether it is Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Sense 6,7,8, GPE, aosp, CM, or whatever, as long as the rom is stable, no FCs, good battery etc,
Sorry to ask for recommendations, I know this kind of topic is frowned upon. But there are so many roms, it would take me forever to flash and try them all.
Thank you,

Your request is so vague, as to have no true answer. You literally ask for recommendation for a ROM, and say it can be practically any Android version (just not Kitkat), Sense, GPE or AOSP.
Asking for a ROM that is stable, no FCs, and good battery doesn't narrow it down. It's not like there are folks asking for unstable ROMs with FCs and bad battery. And things like FC and battery are completely subjective. They depend on how you as an individual use the phone (apps, settings, your network, etc.). Just because someone else gets no FC and good battery, doesn't mean your experience will be the same.
ROM recommendations are allowed (they didn't used to be - but the rule was changed). However, there are already plenty of other threads where folks have chimed in on what their favorites are. The most comprehensive such thread is probably this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/currently-best-rom-htc-m8-based-6-0-cm13-t3442924
The thread title specifies CM13, but the discussion has actually moved far beyond that. Probably would suggest starting from the end of the thread (most recent posts) and work your way back, as the thread started almost a year ago.

I've searched, trawled and read through so many threads and cannot make my mind up which way to turn (I'm so indecisive). There is so much choice (which is a good thing in some ways and not so good in others) but it's confused the hell out of me. I could flash various ROM's and kernels all the while having to restore my data each time and run it for a while to see if it is suitable for my needs. This seems to the moderators general consensus for those asking what the 'best ROM' is (Understandable). But this (having to flash ROM's and kernels each time) is tedious and there is always some element of risk that you could end up with a bad flash the more you do this.
So here I am asking. Please note I am *NOT* asking which the best overall ROM is. I understand perfectly well that there is no best ROM and each ROM has different functionality and features that are suited to different peoples needs. I am asking which ROM suits *MY* needs. If moderators decide that I am asking what is the best ROM then I guess I will have to try harder to argue my case.
I don't mind if it's GB, ICS or JB - obviously I would *LOVE* to have a JB ROM but it's still in its infancy and has certain issues simply because there is and never will be an official JB ROM for my phone (Thanks Sony!).
My current setup is a 2011 Arc S currently running JJ Hybrid 3.1 (still) and ArcKnight kernel (forget which build).
I am not overly interested in fancy GUI's, themes, extra functionality or overclocking, although it would nice to have them 'just so long as they don't impact on performance and stability'.
Things I want.
#Rooted with CWM is a given obviously
#As lag free as possible (It takes several seconds to launch Contacts at present and laggy key presses in the phone dialer annoy)
#Good battery performance
#Increased memory
#Bloatware removed
#Removal of or fixed/tweaked default apps (For some reason the default browser sucks CPU/battery dry and I have disabled it on current ROM).
#Smooth 720p video (is this even possible either in the FW or through a mod?)
#Good camera performance (Use a mod?)
#Status bar with quick toggles and notifications
#Good WIFI, 2G,3G/HSDPA performance (especially if 3G is tweaked as I get poor signal in some places)
#Bravia engine (1 or 2?)
#Correctly functioning hardware including LED's/Side LED/Buttons/Sensors (brightness, rotation etc)
#STABILITY (as little bugs as possible basically)
#Easy upgrade path between builds (not having to wipe data each time although I realize this is sometimes required)
#WIFI tethering
I don't care much for HDMI output but if it works it's a bonus. Things like USB OTG and USB mass storage would also be useful but not essential.
I think that's all of it. If moderators still feel this is a 'best ROM' thread feel free to contact me privately to cast your warnings. Hopefully though they will see this is a bit more specific than that and actually asks more pertinent questions rather than a blanket 'which ROM is best' question.
Thanks for reading
I can't comment on a rom, but for camera, most definitely Cybershot mod . Pictures look amazing

Thanks. I will look into it. Seems it's only for ICS ROM's but if there is an ICS ROM that meets the above criteria I will check it out.
For me, right no, Atomic Gb 3.0 Xtreme Silencer is going to update it to 3.1 now, so u can flash it. It is the most complete ROM now for me, with almost everything u said in ur list
Download it here
Hi.
While this may not be a best ROM thread as you say, its just as equally annoying. You've listed what most of us want from a ROM, and as you say you've read this that and the other then its time to pick one and flash it. If you think the process of flashing custom ROMs is tedious then learn how to mod, tweak a stock ROM to your own liking then you won't need to rely on others to tell you what to flash.

Did u read that? Flash and test yourself
We can't say, what fits you, we don't know your life. You know it the best, you should find the perfect one.
XDA is not a place, where people are slaves, stop being lazy and do something yourself aswell.
Look at ROM's overviews, features, functions, read comments (if you want to know more about the ROM) etc.
Try them, put them to the test in regular usage. Then you find one. We can't say, which one is good for you.
yeah he is right!
Atomic Gb is awesome !
xtremesilencer has done some great work to make it!
ohhh wait a min!
i am xtremesilencer that was a joke
and if you want to know about a rom then go to the thread or check the feedback
dont open new new threads !!!!!
I'm on ICS because of the mobile data manager (built in, doesn't work on gb) as i have a limited data plan.
I'm right now on the xperia t rom, it is really great, the battery lasts up to two days. (3-4 hours display on, around 10h mobile data and wifi is always on).
Using the stock 587 kernel. Never had such an amazing battery life

Whilst I understand the sentiment of 'try them for yourself' and 'you are just being lazy' and 'read the comments' etc. It takes *TIME* I don't need overclocking. I don't need all the fancy themes. I don't need a ton of tweaks other than those that meet the basic requirements I have listed.
As I said whilst there is a healthy development community on this particular device, it is hard work to find the right ROM. I have to go through the list of ROMS, kernels and mods in the thread stickied in 'General' (I noticed at least one ROM is missing from that list btw). On the whole it does not tell me a lot other than name, ROM, base (GB, ICS, JB) and then you have to spend a lot of time trying to find out all the info about the ROM by going to the ROM's thread, read about it's features, how to install it, which kernels work best with it, how to fix, patch or workaround any problems found (usually buried deeper into the thread with sometimes 'hundreds' of replies so you might not know about the patches and workarounds until you actually install it and when you ask in the thread someone says it was mentioned earlier in the thread which you now have to search through) etc etc ad nauseam.
I'm just looking for a shortlist of ROM's to try based on others opinions that meet my criteria.
I do also believe that there should be a sticky that instead of ostracizing members for asking 'which is the best ROM' as there currently is (which I know can be annoying for the moderators) instead should offer opinions and experiences. Which ROM's offer which features and how well they perform and yes, perhaps even a poll.
This would be the 'go to' thread for all those people (including myself) who are stuck for choice.
But perhaps this is too much work (I guess you could say to me I should do it then and keep it updated since I am so interested in it)...
The forum is chaotic as it is. But this is the nature of forums.

Unfortunately, that's what most people would have to go through to actually find a rom that they would stick with. Luckily I tried 1 and never moved away because it was suffice. Here's a list to shorten the task, tremendously for you
Ultimate HD
Beautiful ICS
Jelly Sandwich - I've been using this one for months without changing. I'd recommend version 7.4 as it's stable and anything version 8 and above are a hassle to install and have ugly icons =/
Atomic GB - The only gingerbread based rom listed as opposed to ics so bear in mind the cybershot wouldn't work
I can't really comment on any of these roms' 'personal sufficiency' other than jelly sandwich, but these are the ones I would test if I were you good luck
well XDA is a dev site where devs share their creations for each other, they're not obliged to put them up here and frankly it takes a billion times more work to make a rom than to look through the ROM threads
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
Xperia T ROM is the way to go!
I too was in the same state 3-4 months back and all I wanted was a stable & smooth ROM (better than stock, of course). So, I went thro most of the threads and based on the feedback of many, I narrowed down on Ultimate HD. Sure its a better ROM and I was happy using it for close to 2 months. But after prolonged usage, it started to lag. Only then, I started experimenting with multiple ROMs.
There are ROM u would start hating it immediately after installing it and there are which will make u to stick with it for a while. After testing bunch of ROMs, I finally landed on Xperia T ROM. Its not the most talked about ROM around, but definitely has its own fan following and Im definitely going to be one among them. It has all the MODs that I wanted (toggles, latest apps, cybershot, small apps etc...) and yet it offered smoothness and free RAM of close to 100 MB. Most importantly, it offered loads of options while installing (in Aroma Installer). So, you can pick and choose whatever u want. It is one of the few ROMs wherein Sound Enhancements in Walkman player and Online mode in Album works out of the box without any tweaking!
So, I suggest you to give it a shot. Im sure u wont regret it
Hmm. Just read that T ROM has broken wifi tethering. Also read that AOSP ROM's don't have in call mute? It's quite a bit involved installing that ROM by the look of things too. I will monitor the thread for a while though and ask about the in call mute feature.
Sometimes, it's not about the ROM, it's the mods you flash on the ROM. I have been using stock ROM for quite some time and I have flashed a few mods to tweak and improve the stock ROM. You can go to the Themes and Apps section to find these kind of mods.

AW: [Q] Which ROM offers the following?
Use the stock rom and flash mods you want..
Your mixing everyrthing up, battery and performance, perfect stability and design....
Ok first off I do hope I'm placing this in the correct section as I am asking a question.
Second I've searched enough threads to know thats a terrible question to ask "what is the best rom..."
So here goes... I am planning on flashing a new rom sometime this week and I'm open to anything out there. I will most likely try a good portion of them and form my opinion of them. However before doing so, I want to get the opinions of the users who has these custom roms. There is no right or wrong answers, I just want to gather a quick summary without plundering and pillaging through all the pages of all the custom roms out there. I'll try to keep it updated in the OP for a summary of the ROMs that people came back with answers to.
Thanks in advanced!!
ROMS
1) Looking at the guides, I stumbled across this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27745461&postcount=2
Is there any more Roms to the S3 aside than these ones?
2) What were your experiences with these roms?
Name of rom used:
Base on(ICS,JB,AOSP/AOKP etc):
Version:
Why did you choose it:
Improvements over Stock ICS:
What are the strengths of the rom (stability, battery life, lagless, etc):
Short comings, weaknesses and areas to improve (even if its nightly, i understand theres lots to improve on):
Type of kernel and why:
Secondary Rom choice and why:
Thanks a bunch you guys!

Here's answer to 1:

Answer to 2:
I'd rather not answer this as it is so highly dependant on the user's end. A ROM can work beautifully well on someone's phone and work like **** on someone's else. Same goes for kernels and settings.
You're probably already know this but look them up, maybe even try them. But mainly, look at their OP, features, FAQs, to know if the ROM suits your needs. Also, going through the last 10-15 pages of the ROM's thread will enlight you towards whether it's for you or not.

Just a curiousity...do you know why only those roms were selected on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27745461&postcount=2 guide?
As for question 2. I understand opinions can vary, i tried to use the stock as a benchmark instead of comparing other roms with other roms.
Of course i will go to each thread, read through the OP and last few pages . But I thought I'd ask the people of xda concurrently.
Having said all that I noticed you using AOKP 4.2.1 and Kernel: KT747.
In your opinion how do you find them compared to stock? What do you like and dislike about it?

Can't really compare to stock as I flashed it before the phone was fully out of the box.
It's running well on my side but I have my personal mods, which I could apply to anything I'm running. It's stable and smooth (once again with my mods) and can't really comment on the UI as I use a theme and uccw a lot.
The kernel is mainly cause it offers me more freedom when it comes to mods than stock kernel.
I can't say there's a downside other than 4.2.1 has known bugs (which isn't ROM related). Like the BT audio streaming that is borked.

Fair enough.
What kind of mods did you look into to make your phone perform the way you want it to? And what did those mod help you accomplish?
Thread Closed, OP just test the ROMs and you can figure what is best for you, Thank You.
does anyone know, or have a reason, or encounted in a problem with CM 10.1 cuz i recently installed CM 10.1 stable on my ATT S3 and it keeps restarting itself after 20/30 minutes tops, maybe longer but once in a while it randomly restarts itself
installed everything perfectly, no reason to be acting crazy since its from CYANOGENMOD TEAM but ROMS are not perfect or as good as STOCK ROMS (that come pre-installed on your device)
any issues, bugs, any kind of thing you have noticed with cm 10.1 yu can post it here
new upcoming features, fixes, what should be there or shouldnt be there, whats missing everything
HELPING EACH OTHER SOLVE SIMPLE/SERIOUS with CM 10.1 and above ISSUES
am currently running Synergy ROM 4.1.2 Stock rom with ZIGGY KERNEL (clocked at 1.3 Ghz) and its pretty sweet, stable, good battery, perfomance is top notch for a stock based rom that come with all samsung boatload
SO DUMP ALL THE PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS IN THIS NEW THREAD FOR CM 10.1 AND ABOVE - ATT S3 I747
ANYTHING YU THINK IS COOL/AWSOME ABUT CM 10.1 ON YOUR AWSOME S3 GET IT HERE
Or just post them in this thread which already gets developer support.

Not all phones are created equal. You should try the newer nightlies since they're just as stable. I haven't had any issues with Cyanogenmod. The reboot bug has been squashed a couple of months ago for me.

thanks for that, but this thread is based on everything to do with cyanogenmod 10.1 and above, clearly i am not a fan of nightlies as to do with updating my phone every second (thats a hustle for me cuz i gotta backup everything/reinstall everything again) and not to mention i have better things to do than just updating to a new bulds everyday or trying new roms
ihave too much variable things on my phone to delete for reasons like nightlies
THE REBOOT BUG STILL exists quite suprisingly for me as you dont have problems with nightlies or the reboot bug too
the thread yu mentioned is helpful but new ideas, new thoughts, easy to find a solution for a problem/question and navigate easly without having to dig it up tens of pages, a new thread with new people/same but fast replies, nice to workaround with.

First and foremost, no OS or software, including android, is perfect. Secondly starting a new thread does not mean it will not get "cluttered" either. The ROM thread for CM is not as bad as you make it out to be. The idea is that the newest material covers the most recent nightlies. It is not that difficult to go to the end and work backwards. In regards to you random reboots, look on JIRA as it exists for this very reason. Take a logcat and report on JIRA if not already covered. JIRA gives you all the bugs reported and their current status towards a fix. This is a wasted thread for this very reason.
As far as ROMs being different...that is the point. Each developer(s) put their own spin on it. That is what makes these development threads so great. You can look for a ROM that you like best. Some ROMs are more universal (but you still need your device specific version), such as CM, while others are device specific.
And phones are not created equal. They may look the same, have the same hardware specs, and all else seemingly equal, but slight manufacturing imperfections make them different. Two people can have the exact same phone from the same carrier, manufactured on the same day, but due to some ever so slight differences from imperfections, ROMs will work differently on each. For instance, in your case CM reboots randomly. For others, such as myself, this is no longer an issue. However, it is possible that another ROM will work great on your phone but not on mine.
While you say CM is not perfect like the stock rom, the stock rom is not perfect either. I have AT&T and the stock rom has several issues. The lockscreen securities can be bypassed, the alarm likes to not work at random times (software bug), and every now and then I get a battery plummet after a phone call when the phone switches between 4G and 4G LTE. Others may or may not have these issues but they seem to be rather common (the security bypass affects all S3 phones that were on 4.1.1 that I am aware of). For this reason I stick to custom roms because I do not have these problems which I personally view as severe for me (Aside from protecting my data and enjoying battery life, I rely on my phone as an alarm clock). Now that 4.2.2 has come as far as it has, it is stable enough that I can use it as a daily driver. I knowingly accept any bugs that are there because typically the ones that exist do not have a large affect on me, if at all, unlike the stock rom.
I've tried AICP and XenonHD, but they have some bugs and lag(on my HOX) except on performance governor.
Is there any "cleaner" ROM, like AOSP or CM12.1?
I saw CM12.1(unofficial), is it good?
Thanks in advance.

First of all don't post in two different section it is enoght to post only on one place.
Second one no body will say this rom is better then anather, have few roms based on lolipop try them all and take decision for you wich one is better. And don't be anger for this where you don't like some roms the dev's work free for this roms and you are not happy. Yes the roms are stable for daily use and some people like AICP and XenonHD, others like SlimLP or Resurection Remix, other CM12.1 or FlexOS, Pac ROM too. You install two you heave to install more 5 and take decision. If you are not happy with lolipop you can try KitKat if you are not happy with them too, then go back to JellyBean if not happy with them flash stock rom, if not happy with stock buy a new phone with Marshmallow.

First of all, thank you for your answer.
Second, I respect everything devs have done for the community but I don't like when they say "smooth" when it isn't. Also, I'm raping the "thanks" button whether I like the ROM or not. I tried these because they seemed the most popular.
Third, I'm not expecting stuff to work like on S6 for eg. but just working normal would be enough.(Had HD2 with jellybean, I know what is patience). I'm not even mad for those options, I like them. But if they cause stability issues, why adding them..
Fourth, if you read, you would see I apologized for posting in "General" and wrote for mods to delete it.
I guess I'll try Resurrection.
Have you tried CM12.1?
EDIT: My first post was a little bit rude. Changed it now. I was angry when my phone got stuck while trying to play Youtube video in HD.

No I didn't try CM12.1 but some people say it is good. Try SlimLP too, Pac Rom is new too the thread is before few days it is new in the ONE X forum. Just try them all and maybe you will find the best rom for you. I am on JB because I need realy stable phone because of my job 24/7,and good battery life, only today I have 180 min call time. With KitKat and LP roms have big battery drain and this is know bug. I will see the new Marshmallow release how is going, hope @teemo will make it perfect for us.:fingers-crossed:
Got me a Z5p E6853 over a year ago.
Stock rom is ok, a bit laggy but runs well enough. over time it gets stale and I looked around for Custom roms.
Tried a few, mainly the AOSP roms on this Forum and the Z5 fourm. found some bug or another that didn't sit well with me. custom stock roms causes a display failure on my device for some reason at random times, sometimes more than once a day, others will run for weeks without a problem. happens at the oddest times too so no way to pin down the cause. (plus all the devs from those roms have moved on so little point in requesting help for them)
So my main question is. other than going back to full stock. (with the possibility of xposed in the future) - What are the current best roms for function and Camera.
Stock roms take advantange of the DRM keys saved on your device. AOSP roms don't from what I can understand. is there a Lineage or AOSP type rom that has a better camera than stock?
what have the users here experienced to be their best combination of rom, with long term stability / Camera quality being top priority.
I don't normally ask Questions here, I usually lurk and help people with problems with flashing and such. but my current experiece with the Z5p has been a bit poor. and I would like to use this phone to its full potential. I just don't see that yet with whats currently available. I may have missed an old rom, or some patch fix that someone mentioned somewhere, but i've been reading the threads for the past few months looking for something that stands out.
I feel like I've bought into a dud of a phone. and my only real option is to just go back to normal stock and pass the phone onto a relative and buy a better phone.
Hey there. I used to have an HTC One M9 (I now have the Z5 Premium (E6853))and the best decision I've ever made with that phone is to keep the stock rom, but root it (preferably with magisk). For me this had the best stability with all the perks of rooting it as you could still flash kernels, and use the millions of root apps that boost your phone and clean out bloatware. Maybe just do some exploring into apps that'll completely change the behaviour of your phone, rather than the OS. What I have found in my rom flashing addict days is that the ROMs themselves really only change a couple of things and device performance is never one of them. If you're looking for massive customisation options a custom rom can help, but you should also check out Substratum. I hope it all goes well!
P.S. - I find Lineage OS is probably the most stable custom rom out there but who knows every custom rom can be a real hit and/or miss.
