I'm on Lightning Rom 6.1. Battery usage depends on which kernel you use. My best is Jeffrey Speefrey 3.0.0 Rv

I dont mean to be rude, but these wrong posts in the wrong area is getting ridiculous. Please READ! Not only are you asking something that has been asked several times in the last few days but also putting it in the dev section. Again, not just you, but SOOO many others as well! Hacre rubs me the wrong way sometimes but I understand where he is coming on certain things.

I have changed so many custom roms and I found that THIS rom is absolutely perfect. It is super smooth, no lag, no fancy -bad looking- theme, and battery is outstanding!! At least 30% more battery than any other custom rom, and 50% more than stock roms!
XK's - Stability/Speed/Superb Battery Rom

When you ask what kind of shoes are the best,
you get the same answer......
Try and fit the best!!

I don't support XDA on that but yes, creating a lots of threads on the same topic does clutter the forum. Still, plenty of people, like me, have no time to check all those ROMs, nor interest, and it's common that someone wanna have a view on a particular ROM or the one which majority of people think is the best, that'd called 'feedback'! There should be a sticky topic listing all the Custom ROMs and voting should be listed there so that one can see and judge a ROM by the majority of voting.

The best ROM is the one that works best for you. Try a few and decide for yourself.

Fast, Battery saving and stable ROM for S3

Hello xda-Community!
First of all - yes, I used the search function but I didn't find any matching result to my question.
So, back to topic.
I am searching for a fast, battery saving and stable rom for the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
It can have the most standard apps removed because I don't use them.
Currently I am using the Android Revolution HD but I am not really fine with it.
So which one would you recommend?
I am grateful for any answer!
Regards, furiify
(P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I am german ^^)

Its a matter of choice ... I am using CyanogenMod 10 and I am really happy with its battery life and performance... Very smooth
If you like Touchwiz interface than Omega Rom is great too

If you havent tried AOSP yet, then LiquidSmooth is a good starter.

Best rom thread is best.
Please I need a rom that's the fastest, has the best battery the best signal nicest ui and smalest size.

If you want stability and good battery, stay on stock ICS, JB will always use more battery.
JB is smoother and has better screen responsiveness (among other things), it has worse game performance.
If you go to JB, I DON'T recommend CM10, it doesn't play very well with the SGS3 yet, and its battery is even worse than stock JB. Many people use OMEGA, it's fast, but it's a battery sucker. Also, Siyah Kernel is very good, but many users are reporting battery problems, it could be configured to be more battery friendly, but it's too much of a hassle.
I'd recommend using WanamLite and stay on its kernel or use Perseus kernel if you go the JB route.
BTW, you'll have poor battery the first few days whenever you change ROM/kernel, no matter what you choose, so give it try for a couple of days.

Damnit, not this AGAIN! Why don't we start banning these people?
"Best" threads aren't allowed! It's a matter of PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Try roms out for yourself!

Why isn't it allowed to post best rom like on nexus 7 forum??

Simple reason .
One its against the rules two their is a thread just near this post dont post what rom bet rom.
three roms are subjective .
Four a thousand what rom /best rom posts per week are not what XDA is about .
If you have to ask that sort of question then you are nothing more than someone that wants it all handed to them on a plate and is to lazy to bother reading the FAQS and Guides . Not really the sort of user XDA needs .

I wasn't asking for "THE BEST ROM". I was asking for a good rom you guys would recommend.
The omega rom seems to be nice. I think I will test it

ROM Comparison thread request

Hey I was wondering if anyone out there was bored/interested enough in making a thread with comparisons of all the ROMs in them I just ordered mine today and I'm noticing that few of the ROMs actually have a "features included" section, so I would love for someone to make one for those of us looking to compare them while waiting for our phone or without having to try them all I know people will say "just try them all" but even just a general impressions thread would be very helpful to a lot of people

why is that???

because you can basically read what each rom is about, you can flash and try, Only you can decide if a rom is good or not.
I've tried a lot of high rated roms and i've hated it. Same goes with kernels. Don't make about thread asking which is the best. Best for what? Performance or battery life? How much will you use the phone etc.
It's really a flash and try. There is no good or bad.

we r not asking for the best, we just wanna know the differences,, thats it.....differences in features and look...thnx

I understand the whole flash and try thing, and if I could I probably would at least try a few But yeah this isn't a "which rom is best" but rather a "what makes this ROM unique"
It's just a simple request if anyone has the time/interest in doing so, I don't want to go onto the ROM pages asking people there what it's all about

I'd like one too! Back when I had my one s I'd always went straight for cyanogen just for pure android..now that it already comes with the phone I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything if I'm not rooting and installing a new rom..

Most ROM threads have a features section or a changelog section detailing what is different or modified. Also, there is a thread that compiles a link to all the available ROMs by category (whether they are CM based or AOSP based, etc).
I recommend going to that thread and then navigating to your ROM of interest to read its description. I highly doubt anyone is willingly to compiles a comparison thread for you because ROMs are constantly changing. If you look at some of the threads, they have no updates and releases every day. By the time someone posts the comparison thread, it will probably be already outdated.
In short, your best option is to read to narrow your choices, then actually try out the options you have on hand.

Sorry but this is so stupid thread.
U should try at least few 4.3 roms and play with them see which one is more suitable for u.
We aren't the same and we dont have same taste.

I think it's a fair enough question. The OP is maybe wanting to hear the opinions of those that have flashed many of the available 4.3 Roms,as to their pro's and con's.

that's right

Might be a fair question but comparison threads are frowned upon and get shut down.
Developers all work hard and we wouldn't want a thread that takes a crap on anyone's hard work right?

Hi Guys,
By asking the question I in no way mean to be disrespectful toward the developers. On the contrary am in awe and in great admiration of them. And when possible have even contributed to "buying them a few beers" .
I merely ask the question coz I would want to install a stable and good performing ROM in the my phone. I could ofcourse download each one and test them out but isn't it the very point of having a forum such as this to help fellow ROM users choose the best and get the best out of their phone.
As regards comparisons I think the developers should not be too sensitive as comparisons are a review of their work and if they have put out ROMs in a public forum for the use of the public then feedback and review should be welcomed. Nothing wrong in pointing out if a certain ROM functions better than another in certain aspects. I have seen many posts that say that a certain kernel provides better performance or battery life compared to another and I dont ever see any criticisms of such comparisons but when it comes to asking or giving the same kind of comments bout a ROM we see people get really touchy on the subject. I dont think saying a particular ROM functions better than another is in anyway being disrespectful or be-belittling the work done by them.

There are 3 roms out there of 4.3 leak MI6,MJ2,MJ5..
I tried 2 of them MI6 and MJ2
MI6 has 2 main bugs i.e keyboard swype doesn't work and google acc dissappearing bug after every boot but MI6 has best battery I had after 4.1.1 roms.
MJ2 is newer and has some bug fixes mentioned above but its battery life for me is less than MI6.
so my vote goes to MI6 though now I am on dr.ketan v3 rom which is mix of all these 3 roms and thinking to switch to MJ5 to test it...
and one more thing MJ2 and MJ5 have knox bootloader so better first read every instruction before doing anything...

This MJ5 is stable and free of Knox

I've played about with a couple of roms now and must say I'm very very impressed with the dirty unicorns unofficial 4.3.1 for the note 2 LTE, very fast, stable, and great battery life.

Then it's best if you could list aspects and functions you consider important. Am on Dr. Ketan 4.3V3.
For me call recording is a must and now ability to export sms from the stock messaging app is a plus. I have gotten close to 4.5 hours screen time coupled with crazy browsing and FB. I find magazine app quite annoying.

Well you're wrong.
These types of threads, ie "what is best" or "What is most stable" threads are not allowed because they are just opinions and best/stable are subjective.
If you want to answer these questions you need to try some roms and do it yourself.

[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..

this has nothing to do with themes and apps..
all the best

Thanks!
That's really useful and give me idea what to choose..

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.

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.
