stable aosp rom?

hi all.
tried a few aosp roms. all great. just some annoying random reboots. im not a heavy customizer. i just like the feel of vanilla android. and also i like smaller dpi settings. currently running ptmr3's jedi rom. excellent rom, havent experienced any reboots. though its a nice rom, i like aosp roms. any out there without random reboots?
also with the kitkat update our note3 is getting, will future roms be more random reboots less or none at all? im suppose to meet someone this coming wednesday to trade my note3 for his nexus5. or should i wait til new roms are cooked up based on the kitkat update for better aosp roms?
also trying to figure out how to remove this damn widget on lockscreen. cant seem to get rid of it.
thanks all

I've been on the unified Note3 CM11 builds and have been enjoying them quite a bit. The only reboots (and lockups) I got were from tweaking my CPU settings...apparently the only parameter that was pissing my phone off was the conservative governor. Also clk_min won't stay at the floor...but aside from slightly compromised battery life CM11 has been near perfect. I'll take the very slight battery life reduction for AOSP...also, the ART runtime is wayyyyyy better than Dalvik. Worth it for that alone. I just enabled that "for good" today but I already expect enough battery life savings to make up the difference (which was admittedly small).
Performance is top notch (even when underclocked to 960mHz), the ART runtime seems to make scrolling, chrome, maps and all around navigation snappy as hell...and I don't have to deal with TWiz. To each their own, touchwiz ain't for me. All the important stuff appears to work (LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, 1080p video recording...I can't even remember the things I used to worry about...everything works fine, even the 'settings bug' is resolved now...)
YMMV, of course.

Thanks. I will try it out after i play around with gummy. Yah im not a fan of touchwiz either. How do i enable ART? i have never tinkered with that. Also regarding cpu tweaking. I dont really bother with that and i still get reboots and lock ups. Most times i just leave the kernel that came with the rom alone and not change it.

im a flashoholic. & i truley hate touchwiz roms. but ive been a week on AOSB v1.30 (longest ive ever stayed on one rom lol) its smooth & zippy, it has some amazing battery life. also vanir isnt a bad rom.
also switching runtimes is available in developer options under "apps"

thanks. i only had my tmo note3 for about two weeks now. the AOSB v1.30 is not on the TMOBILE NOTE 3 development threads (i did find it). are we allowed to use those roms for our tmo note3? is there anything special i need to do to install roms from there?

The AOSB rom is a universal. Just flash rom + gApps & you're set to go!

WOW. i think i just found me a stable rom to use. installed and been running this rom for more than an hour now with all my usual tweaks and apps installed. and so far no reboots. usually on other aosp rom, i would have had a few reboots already. this is awesooooome. well besides the fact that app settings (xposed) doesnt seem to work since temasek integrated his own lcd density changer on the settings menu. also he just announced yesterday that he is putting his development on hold (temporarily, hopefully). damn!

Question about roms, completely lost

Hi,
I bought used LG G3 (failry new), and since I've got it, I can't stop fiddling with roms from XDA repository. Got the phone with android 5.0, but the battery included was pretty bad, 1% drop every minute or less. Bought new battery, 1% drop on every 3 minutes, seems fine, at least to me considering the screen resolution. That would be 4-5hrs of SOT. I wanted to try android 6.0, so I flashed D85530B_Europe.kdz. Was testing it for two days and it seems that the battery usage was worse, and I realised that some of important apps that I will use don't support 6.0, so I've decided to go back to stock 5.0. Since in the rom file repository there are TONS of roms, all with similar filenames, I've read somewhere here that I can go with UK Europe General D85520I.kdz, and so I did. Now I'm on 5.0 (UK Europe General D85520I), the battery usage seems ok, but now my GPS is not working at all. Using GPS Status app, it sees 19 satellites, but can't connect to a single one! My fault was that I didn't tested the GPS properly when I took the phone, but I did one short GPS test with HERE maps, and it was working pretty bad, it was offline 80% of the time, so I guess it is a hardware issue.
Now, can you help me to choose the most stable, fast and most friendly on battery rom? Doesn't matter if it's LP or MM, if it is working without issues. Also I wanted to flash CM, mostly because they say it is the best in terms of battery usage, but I'm afraid to brick my phone. I'm also interested in Fulmics rom. Can you suggest the most stable and bug-free custom rom for LG G3?
Please include the filename of the KDZ file, because I can't make a difference looking at the filenames, I'm still not sure how do you guys do it.
Also, if you know how I can fix GPS, including opening the phone, I would be happy to try, GPS is the pretty important to me.
Thank you in advance!
Cheers!

OK, so what I'm thinking is that you won't care if its aosp, I recommend either crdroid 7, which is nougat and has exceptional battery life. You could also use Tesla N, which is what I'm using right now. The only reason I use it is because on OMS support and Pulse.

Thank you for your response, but honestly I don't understand all the terms you are using. What is AOSP? Where I can find CRDROID 7? Is it tested properly, means no issues with camera, bluetooth, gps, etc? Tesna N is also a custom rom? What is OMS and Pulse? Sorry for questions, as I've said, I'm lost with all the terms, kinda new with flashing Android.
Cheers!

Note with any roms cm13 and above that are aosp hence (custom roms) you will sacrafice 2 things. Your speakerphone, and your camera image quality. People you talk to on speakerphone will hear themselves echo when they talk to the point they cant stand it. The quality of your images will lower...when you send mms the quality on their side (the person you sent it to) will be lower. If your like me this is annoying that these simple things dont work correctly...dont get me wrong, they are excellent roms...cm13 based roms are quick snappy and really fast, and stable. I just wished everything worked...i am on fulmics 6.7...its a stock based rom that you can still mod to your liking...speakerphone works and has tbe stock camera...it is ported from the LGG5...i love it. And again...im not downing cm13 roms...they are great and these developers are awesome...it you want the best rom though were all functions work i would suggest fulmics definitly...another great one is xdaddebs 3.1.1. It is a heavily modded rom with the weight of aosp...super fast...almost went back to it the other day
---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
Lastest crdroid 7.1 and tesla 7 everything is working properly...like i said with these custom roms speakerphone will not work correctly and camera quality will be slightly diminished
---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------
Most ppl dont use speakerphone...i however use it all the time

Thanks!
I will consider either fulmics or xceed kernel on stock 5.0, still undecided.
One issue stilll to solve is the non-working GPS, no idea can fulmics rom make it to work.
Cheers

Works for me...i would really suggest the 6.7 build though of fulmics...you download 6.6 then you install and then download the 6.7 file and dirty flash it through twrp

Well, I was on Fulmics 6.7 for two days, testing it in detail, and sadly went to 5.0 stock today (restored the backup from TWRD). I really couldn't stand the stutter in 4K video, and GPS couldn't connect to any satellites at all. Except these issues, Fulmics is an amazing rom, stable, smooth and pretty fast.
So, should I stay on 5.0 (UK Europe General D85520I.kdz) or upgrade to some 6.0 rom (for example D85530B_Europe.kdz)? Really not sure is there any difference between any stock 6.0 roms that can be downloaded here, I can only make a difference related to the file name. If there is ANY 6.0 rom that is IDENTICAL to stock and WITHOUT bloatware, I would be happy to flash it, but still not sure is it going to be 100% identical like the stock (proper 4K without stutters, good GPS, etc).
Although I'm quite sick of searching and testing numerous roms, doing that for the past week, I'm willing to try one more rom and to finally start downloading apps and to start enjoying using the phone.
Thanks in advance!

P600 stuck on 4.4.2 - need upgrade for speed and reliability

I have an Australian version (XSA) of the Note 10.1 sm-p600 which was only ever upgraded to 4.4.2 (latest official release).
I find the performance sluggish when playing games (eg Clash Royale) and want to see if a new ROM will improve the speed but want minimal fuss. I would like to know people's suggestions of which ROM to use that will give me a faster but still stable experience.
Is the official 5.1.1 any good? Do I need to go custom? I want to avoid having to do complicated installs as well if possible.
I mostly play games and watch YouTube on it and maybe some sports apps to get scores. Nothing that really requires root (and some of the sports apps don't like root).
Thanks in advance.

Just checked my build and it looks like it is already on 5.1.1 - I must have updated it last year and forgotten.
Still not happy with the load times of Clash Royale, any other suggestions about making the tablet run faster? It seems to still have a decent processor and RAM despite being a few years old.

Well, you're running 5.1.1 right? Probably the only thing left is to go to Development section and install Prime Kernel V6, it's the last version for lollipop touchwiz. That one has a couple of tweaks to improve the standard performance offered by stock/factory software. Make sure to backup everything, and then flash the zip. Updating kernel has no need to wipe or reformat anything so no data is lost, but do it just in case.
To get more juice out, you'd have to install custom ROMs, like LiquidDeath from the Original Development section, that has a couple of new stuff like the updated GPU driver ported from marshmallow touchwiz apparently, and from my subjective view, performance is better along with increased battery life.
I don't do much gaming, but on stock 5.1.1 with stock kernel I usually get around 7 hours screen on time browsing the web, but with LD I can go around 10 to 11 hours easy with the same usage.

Thanks. I'll check out the kernel first.
Would you suggest LiquidDeath or LineageOS?

Sorry for the late reply, lol. I assume you've been running touchwizz/stock Samsung lollipop this while, but using that custom kernel I've mentioned? How was the experience? If that works fine with you, I believe there's no need for custom ROMs.
I test and run random ROMs many times, liking to flash stuff and all. If you want to try out the waters, the most rock-solid, no-issues release so far is probably the last release of LiquidDeath, mostly because it has less crud, and therefore fewer potential to go wrong. Lineage is good too, but I prefer keeping it simple.

Which Rom to go for, Tab Pro8.4 ?

Hi,
There's a multitude of roms available for the tab pro8.4.
As someone who's not particularly tech minded which would be the best to go for to give my tablet a new lease of life with the minimum of bugs ?
Cheers

I would suggest CM 12.1. It was Lollipop, but still batter than stock (Kit-kat). It has stable releases (CM is down, but you should still be able to find a download somewhere on the Internet). There are newer LOS builds, but that's only nightly builds, and the ones I tried are not very stable.

I've tried 2 roms,vu-vu-2.0 and slim6 and both have failed to install because of signature verification failure.
What am I doing wrong ?

I am using the Resurrection remix, by rnwalker. Version Nougat 7.1.2_r2 - N2G47E, from 24th April. It is running smooth without crashes or bugs, but I don't have Gapps installed.

I'm assuming the camera doesn't work as per all Nougat roms ?
I managed to instal Slim6 in the end,it's pretty good and very stable,better than stock battery life

I've been enjoying Slim6. Great battery life, and has been pretty stable for me:
https://slimroms.org/#/device/mondrianwifi

i am also running slim 6 . pretty stable and bugless

I'm have the odd issue with charging. I'm using a fast charger that came with my phone,2 amp I think.
Obviously it only works as a standard slow charger with the tab pro but it never reaches 100% unless I switch it off briefly

Yesterday I installed AICP 6.0.1 unofficial from August last year (after cfautoroot & latest twrp 3.1.1 for the 8.4). Was going back and forth between latest nougat cm and this one, really like some of aicp features and have different levels of it running on other devices.
Seems to run fine except for 3d rendering in a game I play, Star Trek Timelines. That game ran fine on the old original kitkat but is very choppy on this rom. Turning on forced 4x msaa in opengl es 2.0 apps dev option seemed to help a little. Anything else I should try?
Thanks!

Switched to latest Nougat Resurrection Remix (5.8.3) for the Tab Pro 8.4, running great! All options that AICP has, and then some. Enjoying some extended life for the Tab Pro.
Still having 3D stutters in ST Timelines, though.

I went with Slim6 and have been using it for a few months.I found it quite laggy so have just switched to the latest Lineage nightly and it's like chalk and cheese.
Can't comment on it's stability but it's so much more responsive,it's given my tab a new leese of life,thanks

I've switched from Slim 6 to Lineage 13 and what a difference.
Slim used to lag and stutter but Lineage is in a different league.The camera is rubbish mind so I've installed Open camera.......focussing appears to be an issue but as I rarely use the camera I'm not bothered.
Good work on the O/S though

Stay stock or ???

Bone stock 2013 nexus 7 flo. Last update was 6.0.1 in 2016.
Just repaired usb jack, and replaced battery. Tablet now works again. Replacement battery has about 85% cspacity of stock, but its very useable.
I have read all I could digest about ROMs, etc. Seems like lineage 14.1 is the best.
What i use this tablet for, is mostly just web browsing and Netflix. Maybe amazon and ebay purchases as well.
Ive read that Netflix won't work automatically if I install a new ROM, because they have blocked it . I've read there are two ways to get around that.... One is a script that made it work again, and the other is to use a very old version of netflix that's been modified to work.
1. Long-term, over a year or two or three does this Netflix issue pose any problems ? How much pita is it ongoing?
2. Does this Netflix issue go away if you revert back to stock?
3. for my uses, is it worth upgrading the ROM at all or just keep everything stock. Stock works, except it's a little slow sometimes. Does that get better or worse with lineage 14.1?
In spite of the security drawbacks, i lean towards just leaving it alone because it works. Thats more important than fancy additional features in Android. It's going to quit working soon then that would be a good reason to change the ROM. I have an old phone that the version of Chrome won't update in it and gives some problems.

My 2 cents, as a noob.
I would recommend the jump to 14.1 over stock. If nothing else you get streamlined right from the starting line with little bloat. I am still using 14.1, and very happy with it, but then I am doing nothing very demanding, just reading books, email, etc..
I used Wug's Nexus Root Kit when I initially rooted and installed 14.1. It worked like a dream for me (who was terrified of accidentally bricking my Nexus 7).
Here is the link to Lineage 14.1 that remains stock with continuing weekly security updates.:
Notice: LineageOS build repository discontinued. | disavowed.jp
Best of Luck, Tam

Installing old netflix version can't happen. Doesn't do downloads. I use this to watch while travelling.....that's a must.
Do the other workarounds work? What about 17.1? Any bugs like this in it? I didn't see any mentioned.
