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.

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.

Discussion| Best version concerning battery

What in your opinion, is the best android version so far that has the best battery life for our amazing device, the Galaxy S III?
Also, what's the best version for battery life in your opinion, from version 4.1.1 + ?
If there is another discussion about this matter, please let me know before you comment.

Threads covering the inquiry of the best of something, be it roms, battery life etc. aren't allowed.

there WAS other threads like this before the mods got to them please read the stickies and rules before starting a new thread as this question and many others like it are not aloud and will be closed as soon as a mod sees it. And the reason they are banned is because every ROM effects everyone's phone differently so what could be great for someone else may be bad for you so it ends up becoming a pointless thread with people complaining about battery life. There is also a Q&A forum for all your questions please use that next time as it saves making clutter
Good day
im what Willis was talking about

I think he is talking about the android versions, not roms, like if ICS is better then GB or JB.

Same rule still applies as I found jellybean the best for me others prefer ICS so you see it would end up in a boot loop of sorts

Please notice I wrote VERSION and not ROM/Custom ROM.
I've seen the stickies, trust me.

So? The "best" of anything is really a matter of one's own preference, whether you're too ignorant to understand or not. hence why they're not allowed and this will be locked in due time.

So, if someone will post his version(not what ROM they're using) and phone use + configurations, will that be ok with you, Mr.Know-All?
I think it will be good for other users, who have the same version, but want to know what configuration is the best for battery life, so they can do the same.

No these sort of posts are against the rules .
Simply because their is no best and the posts break down into abuse .
Likewise multiple identical separate posts on the same subject crop up week after week .

Best, most complete rom for the l337?

Yes! The title says it all. Thanks!

if you like touchwiz, then you cant go wrong with iB4STiD's GoldenEye
heres the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

they're all complete in their own right. each OP will have outlined what works, what doesn't, what mods have been included and what has been removed. threads like these are generally pointless and often shut down quickly. the best way to find out what you like is to make a backup and try a few. cheers

THIS ^^

If you want everything to work with no exceptions - then stock ROM. But you don't list any requirements, so "best" and "most complete" could mean anything.
Complete AOSP gets you stock android - it is complete android, and best in some users opinions. After that there is the full spectrum of ROMs and it depends what your definitions are regarding your choice of terms. Do the gimmicky gestures matter? How about some of the Touchwiz features.
That is why there are hundreds of XDA devs creating their own ROMs.
It is like trying to define the best pizza - we all know it is thin crust NY style, but i like mine with anchovies and peperoncini rings - the best and most complete, but shockingly not everyone agrees.

omg yes; ZERO problems here. LOVE it.

Edit your subject line in the op to say something like What rom are you running or whatever...and let others tell you what is going on. Then decide on your own.
I am running Omega i9505 rom. Works perfect..then Wanam is awesome also. All the roms have a special something that make them all unique in their own way.
Otherwise this thread will get Ax'ed.

Closed, we don't need more "best rom" threads, please review the rom threads and make your own decision. Remember, all of them are 99.9% the same (literally).

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.
