[Q] ROM suggestions? - Galaxy Tab 2 General

So, I'm planning on rooting my tab 2 at some point and I was wondering what everyone thought the best custom rom here is? I don't wanna test them all, I'd just like to know what everyone is using/what the general consensus is. Oh, I've got the Tab 2 10.1

Wrong forum, read the forum rules.

First this is the wrong forum to ask and second there is not such thing like best rom.Try for yourself and find out which one suits your needs best.
Thank you and thread closed.

Quick build question

I just purchased a Droid2, and the add on's from Motorola are some of the best I've seen, mainly referring to their email app.
Anyway to port a whole build from one phone to another? If so, what goes into that. I'd love to see that build working on my HD2!
generallll generallll there is a general seccion why you post here i still dont understand...
im not even going to read this i can tell from the title it doesnt belong here just trying to keep the tread clear so newer people can stop getting confused
I am so sorry to have bothered the two of you. Since I have this forum linked, I usually don't go to the main HD2 section.
Guess this sums up XDA these days, elitest folks who MUST know more than us with questions!
Thanks for the heads up!
Oh and xpoloxp, I'll take a moment and teach you how to reply to threads that are legitimately in the wrong forum:
Your reply:
"generallll generallll there is a general seccion why you post here i still dont understand..."
How about this to have a touch of civility instead:
"There is a general section in case you didn't know and your post probably belongs there."
There! See how that makes one sound human while not mindlessly debasing someone and ASSUMING that they (when you said you) post things in the wrong forum all the time.
Class dismissed, and mod's, feel free to move this if it's needed.

[Q] Gotta make my mind up, which rom should I take??

Alright, so I'm wondering: Which 4.2 rom should I install on the Nexus 7? Thanks!!
UPDATE - Delete this thread, please.
Seat God not another one of these pointless threads. Look through the forum and you'll note that this has been asked and answered multiple times by the thread being summarily locked. Do you also ask others what your favorite food should be?
There is no best rom. Go to the dev forums, read, read some more, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest. Only you can answer the rom question for yourself.

Alright. Delete the thread, then.
ill just close it..
Look op, you didn't commit a mortal sin, but really, as said; there is no best rom. The best ROM is the one that fits YOUR needs, has the look/feel you want, and works best with your apps. Go do some searching, and look for some that fits your needs, and then try a few. In the process, you will learn more about your device too.

Fast and stable rom?

HI,i search for a stable and possibly fast rom. It's no important for me the android version, i prefer a fast old version the a slower but newer.

EXACTLY!!
You see! He tried recommending you the best and most stable 3 roms of all from his opinion, yet you liked NONE of them. Your "preferences" are different from everyone else's. He likes sense, you don't. He didn't have crashes on tytung's ics, you did. He thinks Sense is fancy and wonderful, you think it's slow and buggy.
It was your fault for making this thread in the first place. That's why the "best rom", "most stable", "fastest rom" ... etc threads are despised and hated.
I suggest you read Kameirus's post and you will understand what I mean. (if you haven't already).

the problem is that i don't have many time,so i can't try every rom in this forum. So i must ask and try only the rom that has been considered the best :/
i know all you said,but not all have the time and knowledge to understand what's the best rom only reading the first post of every rom

Hey, what's the best colour?
What's the best food?
What's the best phone?
What's the best song?
What's the best movie?
What's the best car?
OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE IT'S AN OPINION BASED QUESTION!
Seriously, I'm getting really tired of these best ROM threads. There is no correct answer, and yet you people still create them. All that happens is that they're closed by a mod or they turn into 10 post spam threads where new users open old threads to post questions in the dev forums. If you just wanted the ROM most people use then why not look at the thread view count and post count?
To quote PG101 (I think) 'coming to XDA and asking for the best ROM is like going into a bar full of drunks and asking what's the best drink'.
I wouldn't have posted this if you had admitted in post #6 that you're wrong through Marvlesz and Kameirus's pure logic, but you've somehow tried to justify posting an idiotic question which is quite annoying.

Isnt this an Android Q&A forum. Why is everyone so neurotic about these "best rom" threads? There is a avalanche of information on xda...This i agree...however its very easy to get completely blindsighted by the sheer volume of threads and the "best rom, most stable" etc, are usually shot down very soon after the question is asked.
If one cant offer any guidence or if one gets frustrated by these threads then why click on the thread and why take time to respond negitively instead of just skimming past and ignoring the thread?
I get that it becomes tiresome for seasoned members here to see these threads but please can we not just assume that the posters are just being "Lazy". Its also worth note that is increasingly difficult for new users to post here for fear of upsetting others with their (mostly well intentioned) ill thought out questions..
XDA is such a great source of knowledge and resource and i agree one needs to take the time to read, read and read some more sometimes though we can get lost and sometime are just asking to be pointed in a direction that has benefited others. Ie' a rom thread where the reading will begin b4 flashing
Flashing for the 1st time can be tricky as their is a lot to take in and one can be nervous of the procedure, and if too many of us take it apon ouselves to be the forum police then the the prospect becomes slightly less appealing.
Sorry i dont mean to offend anyone by sounding off but i too am new to much of the flashing roms, and also am guilty of comming to these threads in the hope of finding a majority of agreement on a particular rom. I do understand that it is subjective and one does not fit all. However it can give confidence to new flashees if experienced users can offer recomendations which have been offered here above, which i personally an very greatfull for.
Sometimes we are but sheep and will follow where led.

I do get it. But it doesnt mean it doesnt frustrate me to see the responses in these threads just as it frustrates those who are rattled by the thread even existing who feel the need to jump on and respond.
If it bugs you... you can leave it alone and move on OR you can let the OP know your frustration by refusing to answer the question and telling them to get off XDA. But surely its easier to ignore it?
It honest feels that the forum has become quite arrogant at times especially where "newbs" are concerned. And it can feel at times slightly Elitist (those that Can vs those who need help) with a disregard to anyone who doesnt know where to begin.
One post i read earlier told a FM to "get off the android forum and dont come back" for asking a similar question... How is this helping and how is it got to the point where there are many 'thanks' thumbsup to this sort of response.
I doubt that OP would be back in a hurry but i guess if it stops them asking 'stupid' questions....Theres a pattern forming where some members here who have flashed successfully a few times then become part of this club that pretends to be irritated by 'best rom' threads and i assume it makes them feel superior by responding with negative feedback to ones who genuine are looking for just a point in the right direction. Why not just 'Not Respond' at all??
Its like pack mentality sometimes and thankfully it is a minority of members who are rattled and on the whole XDA is immensely helpful to newcomers who will learn the hard way to never ask "that" question :banghead:

We are members of this community, thus we have to do our best to make it better. We do this by telling people who post such threads about how wrong it is and the correct way of finding "the" rom. But it got out of hand, you can check that for yourself. Every other week, there is a thread asking the exact same thing, i.e "best rom, fastest, stable". Whereas it should be common sense that there is no best in subjective things as Nigel summed it.
Now the problem is that many people think xda is a support site. Here is a quote from a senior member that I couldn't agree more with:

He is simply one of these XDA n00bs who comes here with the false impression that XDA is tech support for their manufacturers device.

While it is true that you can find help on xda, that doesn't mean it is given on a silver platter. If you can't bother to help yourself, we can't bother to help you. Furthermore, finding a question that a 2-click search could've provided a more-than-satisfactory answer or finding a post that is almost the same as a two-rows-below post is rather very irritating.

That's impossible, if you're asking "what's the best rom", there is no way you're looking for a point in the right direction. Because basically there is no right direction. Some people even try to justify their stupid posts with even more stupid posts.
The HD2 has been out for about 4 years now. NO matter what your problem is, it has a 99% probability it has been asked AND answered before MULTIPLE times. Now if people can't bother to follow the very first rule of the forum rules, they don't deserve to be helped.
When they first registered on xda, they agreed to abide by the terms, rules and conditions. Now if you agree to abide by something and then break that thing, you take full responsibility and deserve everything you get for that breaking.

A common misconception, this is a development forum (hence XDA developers ). Other than this I don't really have anything to add to Marvlesz's post tbh. You have to understand that when I posted that there had been literally three similar threads in a row. When you're posting a thread search results for the same or similar title even come up, so there wasn't any excuse for this thread to have been created. There's a subtle line between not knowing and not trying, and this is the latter.
It's problem to me too... I have 1.5 gb roms on my SD and no one fully work for me =(
Ok so i am aware that my earlier post was ott on my part and can only apologize. Must have been posting through some red mist I admit i jumped in without thinking and was unduely judgemental. Sorry bout that Everyone here esp devs are doing such amazing work for our gadgets to perform at their peaks and i am immensely appreciative of that. I agree with the above that this is first a "Development" forum and can be misconceived by some (myself included ) as somewhere where the answers are uniform and one in the same. However i see this is not the case and opinions to questions such as "whats the best, fastest most stable" etc, are so diverse and if everyone were to give an opinion then i guess these threads would also just get messy and lengthy with NO satifactory conclusion.
Sorry Guys...Really Didnt mean to offend. However i can see how my wording may have done so :banghead:
My tail is well and truly behind my legs as i type this

[Q] Which ROM should I use?

Hello everyone, I'm new in here and I'm using Nexus 4..
I'm planning to flash custom ROM and kernel, i want better performance and most important thing is better battery life..
I don't really care about features and costumize anything, it's all about performance..
So which ROM should I go? I saw so mani ROMS here, it's makes me confused..
Besides that, I'm totally noob with flashing and rooting..
Thanks before. Your suggestions will be appreciated..

go for a rom that has just some nice features but also keeps performance..something like rastakat or cm11 or kitkang...whenever i flash those kinda roms always have great battery life and perfomance...crdroid is another good one....but please next time post in the right forum section..
this has nothing to do with themes and apps..
all the best
Thanks!
That's really useful and give me idea what to choose..
I'm new in here, so i don't know if it's wrong section..
And how about liquid smooth rom? It said that it has good performance and smooth..

No one can tell you what ROM to try, look in the development threads and try any that appeal to you. If you don't like them try another one, but each device reacts differently and each user likes different things - no one can tell you what to try. Also, best ROM threads aren't allowed, its disrespectful to the devs

I recommend carbon with JWR faux kernal. And nexuslouder mod. Best I ever had.

Just try some different ones and stick with the one you like best. For the most part, performance will be about equal between them. It is gonna boil down to taste.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
1. New here or not you should already know to read and post this in Q&A section.
2. We can tell you our recomendations what to use but final decision is up to you. So try more roms and see which one suits you best and use that one.
3. Navigate to general section. There are good thread that explain everything (rooting/flashing/restoring...)
EDIT: To all others who commented in here saying wrong section... It wont help making a post about it. Report the thead for moving and case closed.
We don't allow these type of threads here for a very simple reason.
All you are going to achieve is a thread full of people's opinions equivalent to the amount of available ROMs... so what's the point?
My suggestion? Look through the Development thread and perhaps even look for ROM threads rated 5 stars (not always accurate but it's a start)
Then go through the features / bug list etc., choose 3 or 4 ROMs and try each one for a few days and make your own decision.
Thread moved and closed.

Oh boy. Let me help you out just real quick before you get slammed.
1) If you're posting regarding a very specific rom, try posting in that roms thread before starting a new one.
2) If you DO start a new thread, don't post a question "[Q}" when there is a dedicated thread called "Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" that is there for the very purpose of asking and answering questions.
3) If it seems that your inquiry is more app specific related than rom then perhaps you can also check to see if the specific app (in your case S6 Camera) was already ported here in the "Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps" and do a quick search. You might see that there have already been requests for what you're asking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/themes-apps/req-galaxy-s6-camera-app-port-t3105592 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/porting-s6-camera2-api-t3104246
I suggest posting in either of those and just wait.
Try not to take this personally. I'm simply educating you on how to use the forum.
