[Q] AOSP or CM variant suggestion - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've been using stock roms for the past 2 months. have gotten away from using any aosp or cm based rom. i am looking to play with one but i dont want to have to install 5 different roms to come up with a conclusion. so i'm hoping someone can answer this question. is there any aosp or cm rom right now that runs without force closes or random reboots or the call echo bug? if so, are you using the stock kernel with the rom or are you using one of the flashable kernels? i have a d800. please dont answer because you have a favorite rom but it has one of the mentioned issues. when i was using the aosp/cm roms before they had these issues. if none of the roms are without any of these issues then i'll just stick with the stock roms.
thank you for your time.

basing on your preferences (no force close, random reboots & call echo) and the closest one to stock aosp imho is Mahdi ... perhaps u can try it yourself
i've flashed alot of them ... none is the most stable at the moment than Mahdi ... the closest one is PA

[Q] Does a custom Rom come with a Kernel?

Does a custom Rom come with a Kernel?
My specific case :
Nexus 7 32Gb Wifi
Android 4.1.2
Rom : PA 2.54
Kernel : Franco 3.1.10
My plan is to update to PA 2.99Beta6 which is based on Android 4.2.
I'd like to know if I'll also need to flash a new kernel as part of the upgrade process or if the PA 2.99Rom also includes the required kernel.
My guess is that it will be included with the Rom but figured it wouldn't do any harm to ask.
PMSL, how on earth do you think a ROM would actually work otherwise without a kernel.
Sorry but.... #facepalm

My fear was that a Rom might use or expect the stock kernel, cheers for the answer though.
With that in mind, I wonder why Roms don't tend to ship with custom kernels. Franco's seems to be widely preferred to stock.

most roms that are actually developed ship with custom kernels(like cm for example). roms that are just compiled from aosp source that have some mods added usually use the default android kernel(or stock roms with added mods). also, many roms ship with other custom kernels included. anyways, many others prefer trinity kernel

Sorry I may have picked up on your question wrong, but many developers, well in fact most would use custom kernels, some prefer stock, stock kernels are generally very stable but quite limited in what they can do, for example take the pretty amazing Siyah on Galaxy S3 which gives you the ability to dual boot different ROM, s, i had AOSP as my main ROM and a Samsung ROM as my secondary ROM which was great for a while but they novelty wore off for me as I really only used the AOSP ROM, not to mention over clocking , etc, etc, etc.
I use Trinity Seven kernel on the Nexus and i find that the tablet seems to charge faster than with the CM kernel that comes with Liquid Smooth ROM.
Hope that answers some of your questions anyway

[Q] what rom are you running? dd?

hi all. just wondering what roms are stable and dds. im not new to flashing just new to the sg4. once rooting and flashing rom what functions might i lose that i should be aware of? just looking for a reason to froot and flash lol. thanks
Everyone has a different opinion, I prefer TW roms, I have used aosp roms for years, but rom of choice now is TW roms, Omega 7 is a complete error free rom.
Running CM10.1 Nightly builds. Been running very very well for almost two weeks now. Just today's build 7/5 seems possibly broken. Other than that very stable.
I previously ran Goldeneye. My favorite stock based ROM. Used it will CM10.1 was ironing out bugs.

as seen above, these types of threads tend to get shut down.
research and try. thats the best way to determine the best rom for YOU
cheers
Goldeneye 3.0 is great, i prefer touchjizz, is why
just the stock rooted ROM with Nottach's exposed mod.
What beerdroid said. But I'm running bean stalk with the marla kernel. But don't flash that on your device.

Im using the Google Edition ROM posted in this thread:

I never use probably 95% of all the extra stuff Samsung puts on the GS4, and I love the clean pure operation of the GE ROM. Once you go pure android, it's really hard to ever go back. It is really amazing how much smoother and lag free the GE rom is.
But if you do prefer a TW rom, I would recommend Goldeneye, which is based on the latest Euro release.
Mint Jelly, TW based

most stable ROM?

Okay everyone.. Its February 2014 and we have been into kk Roms for about 3 months or so on the g2.. Which one seems most stable... And with which kernel is it stable.. I have flashed every single ROM known to the g2 and every single one freezes at one point and reboots.. To me the Mahdi ROM with paek seems the best but I want your input community... So let it rip!??

Freezes and reboots are long gone for me. Basically every room I tried if stable. They all lack gps and they all (obviously) try to force me into using Chrome but they're stable. If no rom is stable for you, either you're doing something wrong or your phone doesn't work.

Opposite for me. GPS works on all of them and most have the basic android browser..

I 2nd this. AOSP on the G2 is somewhat pointless as stock has everything and more than AOSP....and it WORKS.

AOSP has more eye candy, but you're right. The stock ROM w/ Xposed is hard to beat.
You meant the most stable CUSTOM firmware? Trying to promote this custom ROM is better or more stable than other custom ROM is prohibited in this XDA I believe.
As for most stable ROM, stay with the ROM built and released by LG.
I had the best luck with the unofficial CM build, but even that had random reboots from time to time and all the bluetooth issues.

[Q] Best AOSP ROM to use?

I'm looking for a quick, stable and clean AOSP ROM to use for my i9505 S4, which one would you guys recommend? Currently I've tried AOKP and C-ROM however they both tend to hang and crash every few minutes for around 5 seconds or so which is causing some annoyance. Ideally I'd like something that's running 4.4.2 and is as close to stock and stable as possible. Any recommendations?

No best threads allowed sorry :crying:
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
OP there is no absolute "best" ROM - only the ROM that works best for you. Due to differences in how you use the device, what works best for other users may not work best for you and vice versa. My suggestion therefore is to try out some different ROM's and see which one you find the best for you.

Stock lg lollipop gives better performance than custom roms based on stock?

Hi guys. Just wondering something, I'm really not new to the flashing scene, I have been flashing roms since I got my Samsung nexus s some years ago and had a lot of devices. For some reason, on my d802, every custom rom I try based on stock lollipop from LG (cloudy 3.3, no name rom, etc) they all lag significantly more than stock lg lollipop(the flashable one on d802 section, v30f). I have always assumed that custom roms gave me better performance so I didn't even bother to try stock lg lollipop. But I flashed it yesterday and it is a lot better than any custom rom(except CM). And I didn't even flash any kernel, it has stock kernel. It seems that custom roms based on lollipop mess something up on my phone and get lower performance. And I'm flashing the proper files(bootstacks and such). Anyone noticed the same?
Where can I find this stock Lp that you mention?
I believe LG haven't launched the update for d-805.
About ROM, i'm using BlissPop, CM based and it's great. Maybe you can compare with this stock one.
You might want to try AICP

its this one ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-30d-flashable-zip-t3070383 ) but its only for d802...
anyway, CM and blisspop and CM based roms are the smoothest android experience for sure, i was using cm 12.1, but unfortunately the sound is quite bad, as well as the camera. If you want a fluid UI without any lags and dont care about sound quality and camera, CM is the way to go.
What surprised me was that this flashable stock rom had better performance than custom roms like cloudy and no name rom

not really, i have tried miui too and it lags...the best way to see it other that normal usage is scrolling on the facebook app. Only CM roms are completely smooth. The 2nd best for me is actually stock LG lollipop. I only use it because CM still has bugs. Cloudy and no name rom lag even more than stock LG.

In that case, I'd say cloudy 3.3 (lolipop) or Cloudy 2.2 (kitkat) were the best stock for me.

Got your idea, compare only between Stock based roms.
Having a better performance with all the lg bloatware it's really strange, never heard about it on any phone.
Buuut, if it's working better than the others, let's use only the stock one f:highfive:

i dont know why, but its not placebo for me. Its very noticeable...Maybe it has to do with the porting from lg g3(like cloudy rom). I recently read dorimanx complaining about users who use his kernel on g3 ported roms, which causes some issues with some apps, causing users to have freezes. He specifically said his kernel is for stock rom only(not ports, even though it works on ports). Maybe it has something to do with that, i dont know...

i think of the 4.0 uix. thats why it lags i think ihad the fastest in stock rom not aosp, was 30f debloated. but mine the signal bars will change from full bar to 2-3 bars never dropped signal but it wasnt stable. when i first installed cloudy i had signal drops, then flashed 30f baseband, and full bars. on my d800.i wanted to keep using stock but could not find an answer to the signal bar changing constantly whn other roms ans same flashed band used 30f work ok but not on this particular rom. d8oo 30f slim. but maybe cause they add the 4.0 uix.

I never flashed a kernel, so can't affirm this is the issue.
But if the developer of the stock based don't recommend a kernel... we can assume you don't need a different one to have all the potential of the rom.
