What's the point of there being a help section, if your not going to help? Don't like my question please feel free to not comment. Not that hard bud.

Same goes to you. This has some connection to the "What's the nest ROM" threads that are always getting closed. For that reason I will tell you to flash the Roms your find interesting and see which fits your needs and wants.

Its amazing how people come Q&A Help thread and post comments without the intent to help at all. All they do is waste your time and theirs, Unless they have nothing better to do, which seems to be the case.
Anyways, to answer your question on a good solid TW ROM. Try Sacs ROM. It's the most solid one I've tried to date.
Here is the link to Sacs latest ROM.

Thank you very much my kind sir. I was looking at San ROM earlier. Looks to be quite nice, is that the rom your currently using?
Sent from my SPH-L720

Dude just try a few roms out and find the one you like. It's not about what's the best rom it's what rom is best for you. Making a what's the best rom thread is very offensive to developer's.
Love the 90s good times

Can we just close this thread please. No point if he already got his answer.

I'm currently testing a CM11 unofficial. I like to test out different ROMs. When it comes to a TW ROM I tent to go back to Sacs ROMs. They are stable and include good useful features and also allow for some UI mods.

Thread closed. We don't do "best of" here. Please do like I do and in the future take the time to read the ROM threads in development to see what looks like a good ROM. There's plenty of feedback in those threads... And only takes a few minutes... Q and A is generally meant for HELP with something YOU can not solve... This was easily solved with just a little reading... Thank you...

Yeppers and here is post that has the other variants like:: devil w/cwm,,, cm w/twrp, etc...
There are in the main post of my thread,,, slightly better organized...
I've tried to give descriptions to all the that deviate from a std devil kernel, and referencing the ROM too if anyone needs better clarification...
Been thinking about cleaning up my OP some,,,, we have so many more choices then when i started it, it was only 'devil or cm',,, no twrp and no mixtures of recoveries and kennels,,,
Plus with kernel control apps,,, most were only going with one or two,,, so i searched and tried to push the envelope, spent tons of hours testing what apps would work with the kernel since jb had broken some of those beloved features,,, but i think most understand now and have their favorite...
Ohh and did i mention...
There is

Tried the Vanir ROM, had a few problems with it. I could not toggle WiFi on/off. None of my root apps could obtain root access. Several issues with Superuser

What is, in your opinion, the best custom rom out there?

It's simply an opinion thread, opinions are very welcome! Explain why you like the rom so much and what makes it different from the others, in your experience.
Edit: To those who think this question is too sensitive and might ignite some heated discussion, so be it! Nothing is wrong with comparing roms and experiences, and it's great to highlight the good and bad of each rom in the way each person sees it. This is why diversity is great. Again, if you're not comfortable with this, you're welcome to not click on this thread, you're not the only one in this forum!
I say either carbon or liquidsmooth. ..?

One rom is not better than the other..period. all of the roms have their own unique feature and look. Its all on what a user prefers. Actually, its not wise to ask whats the best. That does nothing but start a war.

What do you mean the real kitkat? This is the real kitkat. If you mean LG's version then you are going to have to wait a while for that i'm sure. It will probably be at least 6 months before we see 4.4 on our phones. But I dont care when it is because i'll have had 4.4 long ago

you may want to try rewording. like ask for a Rom with the features your looking for then narrow your search. but in the end the best ROM is the one that works for you. opinions are just that and very greatly. the Rom i'm using i have seen people love and hate, and the haters are saying things about it that are configuration issues because they didn't follow directions so as far as i'm concerned their opinion is moot. try this site. it has i nice list of ROM's that are out there, no ratings no preferences just a list you read up check the comments like i did and choose.

Thanks for the help
And going to close this out before it attracts trolls. Glad OP got some good info though before we close.

rom recommendations?

i've been using LiquidSmooth for a few months and love it....except for one problem... ASOP doesn't play well with the Sprint network. before that Triforce was my driver
I've been trying to get my APN working on this "Echo" s5 port, but ive never had any luck changing these settings (help me!)
I really love the look/feel/options that come from ASOP roms, but apparently I need to go back to an ugly Touchwiz rom in order to reliably connect to sprint's towers (PRL/Profile updates)
So what do you all recommend in terms of stability and tweak-ability (xposed, etc)
right now im looking at NegaLite and Sac's
+1 for Nega. Super stable and devs his own kernel.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer you, both Nega & Sacs are impressive, Nega is more inverted however, I believe you can get the stock theme for it however, Sacs to me has more tweaks from multiple galaxy devices, but thats V6, the recent NG2 is still being updated.
Thank you both for your input. Nega seems good so far so i'll just stick with that until Sac has a chance to update. Parkourkid93, care to elaborate on what Sac used from other Galaxy devices? I'm quite jealous of ultra power save.
