Can someone recommend me a good custom kernel to use with ParanoidAndroid ROM 4,6 (android 4.4.4)... On previous ROM I used hellscore kernel and I was very satisfied... But its not available for PA rom...
Thank you!!!
Don't use pa but don't understand why you cannot use the latest version b63 (not the l version) with pa ? Hells kernel works with all 4.4.4 ROMs,so what's the problem?

Hellscore has 2 or 3 different versions, depending on the revision. CM/CAF, AOSP, and in newer revisions one for the L developer preview. Make sure you're flashing the correct one.
Other than Hellscore, there are several other kernels to try. "Best" is a matter of opinion and personal use. Try them all and find out which one works best for you. Just do a back-up first.
Hi,
I'm interested in getting a ROM for my Canadian Note 3 N900W8. My friend only pointed me to the Cyanogenmod website and I have no idea which rom to get. I'm looking in the HLTE section. I see nightlies with a risk that they may be unstable but under stable or milestone, there are no roms to download, and the only other option is snapshot. I've already rooted my note 3, and I'm mainly interested in getting the the GPS working with the note 3.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I use cm12.1 by temasek. Great rom. Nothing is bugfree now days but for me it works far more stable than stock rom. You can try.
Where can i get cm 12.1 (lollipop) for my note 3 sm-n900w8 hltecan, can anybody help me?
Hey! I was just going to post a question about the GPS issues I've been having with TW custom lollipop ROMS. I've tried s6 ports, note 4 ports , edge ports and all of them seem to have GPS issues. I downloaded GPS test and could never get a fix on my location . I figured it was a ROM issue so I went from ROM to ROM until I found xposed deathnote ROM for n900w8 which after flashing would acquire a signal right away . After restoring all my apps I went to flash a custom kernel so I could flash Viper and this is where I found the issue. As soon as I rebooted I lost my GPS so I started flashing kernels and finally found fulgor which not only fixed my GPS issues but is compatible with Viper.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just the custom kernels not being compatible with n900w8 hardware but the fulgor kernel has been the only one that works.
FYI I had to re flash DOC firmware for my GPS to work . Before that didn't matter what kernel I used I had no lock on my location .
Also if I did a clean install no titanium backup restore my GPS did work with those other ports. I'm not sure if it's a combo of flashing xposed , custom kernel and restoring that was causing my GPS issues. .
Sorry I couldn't provide you with a definite reason why our n900w8 are having these GPS issues, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Thanks a ton! I've been using XDA for years, rooted/modded an S2, Note 10.1 2014 and my daily driver n900w8. Like how nice and easy CM is great I can do it on an old S2. Still battle with GPS, the unified daemon, etc., but generally sticking with Lollipop. I was considering the Deathnote ROM, but I've never seen the fulgor kernel suggestion before. Will have to check it out. CM 12.1 had much better cell signal and performance, but some other stability issues. Always a trade off!
Do you notice better battery life when the GPS lock works? Still have working NFC with deathnote? Seems like some hit and miss for people. Thanks!

This is the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3117018
(Xposed) DeathNote Rom Based On darklord for N900W8
My battery is always horrible when in use but great when it's in standby so can't really say. As far as I have tried no LP rom has a working NFC for N900W8 until Samsung releases our kernel source code (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) The developer for the Fulgor kernel has stopped development and is focused on audax kernel so not sure if fulgor will give you the best results. I'm too scared to start flashing kernels again since I have my phone set up perfectly which took me hours of restoring and tweaking lol.. gl

This is one I've been eyeing. Just haven't jumped in yet. Back on stock 5.0.1 when I had a problem flashing a different ROM.
Oddly the stock ROM battery seems to have improved in the last week or so. Standby is also great.
Before that CM 12.1 was better until I got too many stability issues and crashes...
May try it this weekend. Don't use NFC much but would like to implement NFC tags, which is why I'm holding back too.

So is there any rom (I think stock based would be my best bet) that has no important bugs? Or should I just flash a custom kernel on a stock firmware?
No there is no such perfect custom rom due to some technical limitations.
Try stable ROMS, there is more probability you find everything working there. I suggest you Resurrection Remix for personalization and CM 12.1 for stability. Btw is your choice, choose the one suits you best.

as you said the stock based is your best bet but for me i use s5 mini rom it has everything working exept NFC because s5 mini does not have that feature
This rom has probably less bugs than the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102
Best is cm11 with sev3n kernel. 6h of screen good camera(cm12 is a joke), radio and everything. No bugs no lags and finally a decent phone. If you want lollipop flavour install cm11 ideal theme from store. It looks the same. After trying almost everything it,s my choice.

Offline chaning work? Battery idle 7 day work? Thank you.
(SORRY BAD MY ENGLISH 50%)
Yes offline charging works and in cm12 also works. Only cm12.1 has that bug. Try kang cm 12.1 after flashing perharps 10 roms is now my favourite . Well i miss cm11 Camera but you can't have everything, i'm a little tired of KitKat and since yesterday we hace a good lollipop ROM with a good tweaked kernel and almost free of bugs.
I am using stock firmware 4.4.2 with xposed and some modifications. It is good and now i am going to try any custom kernel. For me, custom roms are useless especially those CM based.
Hello, I got my cousin's Redmi 2, so I was hoping to put Custom ROMs. I've been searching around, but didn't seem to find the best stable ROM. I need a daily driver, and it doesn't need to be Marshmallow, but an upgrade from KitKat would be nice. I love the Lollipop UI. But still, I give my preference to the most stable ROM, since I don't want juggle around every single custom ROM available.
Thank You!
UPDATE 21/03.
Thank you guys for the poll! MIUI was getting all RAM sucky so I needed to get a Custom ROM. I've tried Nexus Experience, Resurrection Remix, HTC Remix, and Kuma's CyanogenMod 13.
Nexus Experience: It has same user interface you get from Nexus, but it lacks multitasking capabilities. Besides most of the ROMs in stock looks like this, so I wouldn't recommend this. Link to Download, Credits:Nexus Exp. team
HTC Remix: This ROM is bulky in size, I've waited for 3-4 hrs for it to complete the download, and when I installed, the recovery ended with an error. But from the reviews, it said it has some camera bugs with the stock cam but Snapdragon cam is working. It didn't have the HTC Dialer also. If you switched from an HTC and want the HTC UI, you should take this. Link to Download, Credits:(--light--)
Resurrection Remix: This ROM was good, but compared to CM13, this ROM sucked battery more and at the first boot, the status bar had some lag issues, but after one or two reboots, it was working perfect. Besides that, no problem, this is the second best ROM. Link to Download, Credits:nick37332001
Kumajaya's CM13: This is by far the best ROM I've tried. Battery is the best, considerable less lag while multi-tasking, good gaming performance, and the basic MM UI. I didn't find any bugs at all. If you're looking for the best ROM, this is the one. Link to Download Credits:ketut.kumajaya
I've also found that, newbies to ROM flashing tend to think Official ROMs and Builds are better than Unofficial ones. This is a wrong perception. Kuma's build's are unofficial, but it had a much better performance compared to Nexus Experience. What counts is how much work the devs put into this.
Hope this thread becomes helpful to both users as well as developers. Great work, devs. Hope you keep up the good work.
Hello Venkatesh, Im using 2014818 too. Can you tell me which ROM are you using? Also, even after I flashed Custom recovery, I still see stock recovery, but from there Im able to access TWRP. is this expected behavior? Please tell stable roms for Redmi 2 2014818

Blisspop ROM
I have flashed Blisspop ROM, run smoothly until now ( more than 2 days)
Kumajaya's Marshmellow as daily driver. Using since last december, never crash-rebooted and rare bugs. Battery could have been better. And camera, obviously you can't beat MIUI's stock camera but it's all right.
cm 13 by kuma is already stable because basic functionality of redmi 2 is now working been using till now
Thanks guys! I've updated my OP, with reviews.
@rohitaar I'm too on cm 13 its smooth stable,but have you tried aosp caf,if yes how's it? I like idea of pure aosp ROM on which I could use xposed if I want any feature.Please review it if you can
I must add the (at least) here, none of the MM ROMs has a working adb, and some of has GPS issues

Do not believe this guy, I've been using ADB for like every ROM to batch install the APKs which I've backed up from the Stock MIUI.
ADB works perfectly. Also, I love Here Maps more than Google Maps, and it has no problems at all. Brother, if you have any issues with your phone, you should check it with the manufacturers, or at least other users, see if they have any issues.

@rohitsonone No.. I had a look at it, but the UI seemed too Ice-Sandwich type! You see the screenshots! Guess I'm happy with CM13! You can use xposed in CM 13, no problems, although I don't want any tweaks.
I dont think kuma's cm13 ROM has best battery. I mean it is not to hurt him, but the marshmallow changes which forces us to enable gps for wifi functionality is the thief. It sucks battery like hell. But cm13 of kuma had awesome camera and it had no lags at all !! Very clean and smooth UI. As the kernel source has been released for redmi 2 we will have wait for some good battery management tweaks. PS: I am using kuma's cm12.1 as my daily driver and it has no problem at all except camera quality and the battery management(better than cm13 but still . . .)
can anyone help me with the audio bug? {audio playing with speaker and headphones.} the roms i used tends to work normally for 10 reboots. but after some reboots the audio bug kicks in. audio playing with speaker and headphones. hope thats the bug with roms. I have used Ressurection Remix both 5.1 and 6.0.
Hi guys I worked and built a AOSP-8 rom for grouper and tilapia.
This is a battery saving keen rom but laggy and bugs.
This ROM is really bad if you just let it go to sleep it would not work.
And you need to do a hard reboot if it goes into sleep.
Do you want this rom guys?
Since original kernel from grouper & tilapia is extremely buggy, it's likely that new ROMs will not work correctly with it.
Latest Android should be able to run on latest mainline kernel with just one patch and Nexus 7 2012 is fully supported.
Kernel sources: kernel.org or latest development code.
