Hi all,

Your opinion counts which will help in evolution of custom ROMs. Of course, It all depends on your personal preferences. But still...
Some ROMs notable alphabetically...
Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe)
Dutchmods
ICS for G3
Kyora ROM
Kyrillos ROM

Sekhy ROM
Vivek's ROM
A Note: Please do not hurt personally anybody.
Thanks in advance,

This thread has been created for open discussions about ROMs and their features and to share your opinions only - NOT TO IMPOSE YOUR OPINION. I will keep a strict watch on this one!
Thanks, thread stuck.. maybe an idea to list the roms as well..
I like the ICS UI better than any laucher ones
For GB : CM7 is the best
For Froyo (JPU) : Kyorarom 5.2 with G3Mod 2.3 kernel non-oc (flash manually the kernel) -> very stable, ultra fast, and, for my dad, the most battery efficient Rom (5-6 days per charge and 1 week if you use nothing).
Im a freshman in flashing roms, im doing this for about 2 months now. And i can say that
Cynogenmod Port is the best for our Galaxy 3, of course Kyrillos Rom based on CM7-A7 will stand next to the first one. Although on Cynogenmod Port (Marcellusbe) we dont have full bluetooth function and camera is black/white, but its very stable.
Hmmm..Tough Question!
I have tried Kyorarom and Kyrillos and I find Kyrillos v9.5 better than Kyorarom 0.5.2,both in case of battery backup and performance Kyrillos exceeds Kyorarom.
Kyorarom needs to be refined a little and everything will be fine, coz am having lag problems on it.
Still got to try Sekhy's and DutchMod. I am having download problems as of now so will try both the ROMs and report soon.

Have tried and did not pass Boot Loop in the following ROMs
1. Kyora ROM
2. Kyrillos ROM
Used Vivek's ROM for 2 days and it was fantastic, but the data usage while roaming drained me completely..but one of the best for G3.
Currently use CM but CM needs to be tweaked continuously for better battery and results. The features that CM 7.1 has is great. All working fine
Have tried CM 6.2 too and was happy.
The only ROM to beat CM on features is WIUI, but WIUI does not support G3 currently
Hope this helps!
Well, I have tried plenty of ROMs for G3 (from the latest e.g. Kyorarom v0.5.2, Kyrillos 9.5, CM 6.2...) but all of them beats CM 7.1 modded by Kyrillos - GWK74.
It´s fast as hell, stable, pretty good battery backup (3 days of moderate usage).
The only thing I miss are video codecs for avi format, which were in froyo ROMs.
And another suggestion it would be great if Fugumod Ultra kernel would support Gingerbread ROMs...don´t know if it´s possible, but it´s performance in froyo is epic
Tried many ROMs but i find the Kyrillos version of cm7 the best....
On a serious note, i think the stock JPU ROM is insanely smooth and fast I'm using it right now and app opening times, scrolling etc. are really fast and smooth. Battery backup is also awesome compared to Kyrillos' ROM V 9.5 where the battery lasted 1 day of heavy usage then 1 day of hardly any usage because i was scared to waste the battery half the way through the day in case i got any important phone calls.
In my Opinion the cm7 port is the best not only cause you can change your design via cm7 but also performance and battery is very good here, had kyrollos before but yeah i wanted something new and with cm7 port i have much mor fun with my phone
ICS
As long as you don't need bluetooth and camera badly, i actually think ICS is pretty amazing. It's good enough for daily use now at least, almost at CM7 level.
My opinion =
For daily usage: Stock rom (I recommend XXJPS or DDJP4)
Need for speed? : Kyorarom , Kyrillos' rom
Classic rom : Vivek's rom or Purumod
For showing off: CM7, ICS, AOSP original ginger port by marcel

Hi Sekhar,
Could you add the link to each of these ROM threads - and have a comparison [a fair one] for the benefit of the community?
I've not tried Purumod, Sekhy etc..
And what is the funda is installing a ROM from earlier version?
For Instance, Your ROm suggests that the earlier version be installed first..I'm foxed here

Sekhys ROM
Sekhys ROM for Gb is fantastic. Nice user experience and great display for normal use.
But Videos are Laggy and other than mp4 formats dont play..
Bloatware IMO is avast and Battery XL Both can be removed by force closing the apps and uninstalling them in applications
Like Kyrillos' v9.5 most. Of course I didn't like battery life with 'default' g3mod kernels especially when I was using 2g/3g internet connection so I flashed Astrum v 1.0 from moikop and now everything works like a charm ;-)
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Rom: Kyrillos' v9.5
Kernel: Moikop's Astrun v1.0 cwm

Same here, hope K 10. will get rid of battery drain prob.
...tried Kyrillos' 10 Beta 1 over the weekend and performance and battery drain is really ok.
of course there are still some probs as the black/white preview when taking pictures with camera and didn't get bluetooth connection to send/receive some files; but as pictures are taken in colour (seen when accessed on sdcard) and files can also send by wireless (f.e. airdroid) or usb connection (cable) i can live with it. also having data2sd with link2sd (s2e didn't work properly for me; corrupted my sdcard)
perhaps i'll flash K 10 beta2 end of next week?!

ROM: Kyrillos' ROM v10 Beta1 GWK74
KERNEL: CM kernel 1.3 Included (UV fixed)
none of you tryed DM? I like to hear some feedback for improvements
I want to know if exists a kernel with good performance and reliability with overclock possibilities and DT2W on the "market" did anyone found a good one? i want a good kernel specially for gaming and reliability and DT2W if is possible , thank you very much !
EDIT: I tried a benchmark tool but i forgot to close ~6 Apps lol ,bellow is the result , good or not for 5.1 Stock W/ Stock kernel?
No one know a good kernel? come on guys , i trought you guys are specialists .. :silly:
Tried some kernels like AK kernel & franco kernel but both of them are unstable , at least on stock 5.1 ... can anyone please reccomend me a good , stable one ?
I'd suggest you Quanta kernel

Thanks for the reply bud , i want to use a stable one with overclock possibilities , did you use/used it? could you overclock the device with the kernel installed? what about the battery life , i preffer to ask before installing one wich possibly could not be good for the device needs ..
Yeah I'm currently using it with chroma rom.. You can overclock up to 1728mhz but personally I prefer underclocking for great battery life (more than 5h SOT)
Ok , so i flashed the Quanta V3 then tuned with Kernel Adiutor , runned a AnTuTu benchmark , low score ( about 26.600 ) then Quadrant Standard ( 5.713 max ) then Vellamo ( 794 on multicore ) 891 on metal ... i don't know what's wrong .. i overclocked it , changed the governor to performance , locked the frequency , upvolting , nothing , maybe a bit higher score than previsourious ... the best performance i got was with the AK kernel ( see the pic below ) that's the highest score i ever got i don't know what's wrong , maybe because i'm using stock rom? i don't like custom roms not on this phone , at least ... should i use a stock based modified kernel for 5.1.0 ?
Just scored 29999 on antutu by only changing max frequency to 1728mhz and governor to interactive. If I remember correctly AK has higher overclock frequencies so that could be the reason for higher scores

Yes , on AK you can overclock up to 1.944 ghz but it drains much more battery than Quanta , i think it doesen't exist a good kernel a reliable one ... for this momment i preffer stock kernel with stock rom , i don't like custom roms because them are so slow and unstable , the kernels eat to much battery , that's why stock is better here ...
What is the best NON STOCK ROM and Kernel for battery life ??

Rom: Cloudy G3 v3.3
kernel: dorimanx
Rom: Resurection remix
kernel: sweet lamba
Rom : cynaogen v12.1 ( more stable than cm13)
You are going to get as many different opinions as there are users.
For me AICP stock Kernel gives up to 9hours SOT and/or up to 3 days battery life.
Sonedays can be 5hours SOT and 1 day.
Which is the CUSTOM ROM which gives the best battery life for k50-A40 ?

I think the main defect is in the battery ? that it drains fast...you can try lolipop roms bcoz as compared to marshmallow roms they eat less battery..and if you are not satisfied then flash custom kernels with superior battery backup.and you can operate them by kernel auditor and l-speed.
But which is the best & most stable ROM both in Android 5.1 & 6.0 ?
Links pls
In my experience the best SOT I got was with stock rom. Custom roms and kernels do not give me as good battery as stock rom. Anyone experienced differently? If so, please share Rom+kernel combo.
I would like to know too. But custom kernels as of this date for our devices doesnt seem to live up to their purpose in giving performance and better battery. Most of them only gives you better idle battery management but has problems like slow charging etc. Damn i wish we have huge number of devs like in RN5pro
I am searching for some custom ROM which can be used as a daily driver as this is my primary phone.
Hope our developer bring it
Android Pie ROM is better then stock in my experience. If you want otg support it isn't for you.
AEX 5.8
AEX 5.8 + Darkonah Kernel v3 = Very good battery backup and butter smooth. Also, you can try PBH Kernel
I tried crdroid rom
I was getting better sot than stock
But it was not as smooth after i installed so many apps
As of now it is the best rom and dev is also very active in fixing bugs
