I consider buying a LG G2 but one thing which im not sure is a stable CyanogenMod for G2, anyone can tell me if any version of cyanogenmod is really stable? all phones which I used before was with cyanogen and i really like it, i testet LG stock ROM on market and it looks ugly for me.
If there is no stable cyangoenmod for lg g2 what then on Galaxy S4 ? have samsung better support with cyanogenmod?
Cyanogen on the G2
The stock rom is ugly. (I have a vs980, verizon) To answer your question, if you want completely stable cyanogen on your g2, you wont get it. The latest stable version (M4) is fairly stable and certainly stable enough to be used as a daily driver but there are still a few bugs. One of which being connecting to bluetooth audio possibly causing crashes and possibly making wifi not work until a reboot. It dosent happen every time, but it happens. Mahdi rom is almost completely stable on the g2 though.. and they just released the KitKat ota so im sure these porblems will be fixed once the developers comb through the source As far as bugs, the only other thing is on some roms; the signal indicator will show "r" for roaming in the statusbar if you are connected to anything other than LTE (3G, 1x on verizon.) It still works, it's just annoying. Hope i helped If i helped hit thanks
Also, samsung devices usually have good rom support. But the g2 is getting better in this aspect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590700 Mahdi for the g2. Battery life on this rom is amazing, and you wont get anywhere near this battery life out of a S4. My opinion is go with a g2

Cm 10.2 is stable.
Or you can try Mahdi ROM. It is very stable, lighting fast and it has a lot of customisation. I will install it today and if you want I'll tell you my opinion about it.
On its dedicated thread people are very happy with it.

thanks for the reply. CM 10.2 is signed as stable but in practise is really stable? Anyone can confirm that? Im not sure but I ve read some posts that even this "stable" version in not stable in practise.

I actually really like the stock kitkat rom, I flashed CM 11 for about a day and I couldnt stand missing out on all the features.
I have a stock kitkat theme installed which doesnt require a launcher (one of the benefits of LG) and it looks great and runs
pretty flawlessly
is the knock knock feature there on CM11? or what is missing exactly?

Cm10.2 is the most stable aosp ROM that I've tried. Ive had zero issues with it. I'm on mahdi ROM now which is kitkat and its also looking very good so far. You've got nothing to lose by trying either one. I've even got the knock on and off working through nova launcher

So,I have a i9505 and I really wanna go for stock android experience,I'm tired of touchwiz stuttering and lags.Now,I am facing a dilema here as I'm not familiar with stock android,what is the difference between Cyanogenmod and GoogleEd. roms ?? I do need a stable rom and going slightly for battery life over performance.Which one should I choose?I can see that CM has bugs so that's a minus for CM.
Thanks!

Well you can always go for the new Google Play Edition (GPE) 5.0.
It wont harm to see what best fits you. CM12 will have bugs since its brand new lollipop but its almost the same as GPE 5.0.
I would recommend Google Play Edition if you really wanna experience the real Lollipop andriod it will have a few mods on it just to make the ROM run a little better and smoother. But I believe its truly the best.
Ok,I'll get danvdh GE rom Thanks

Yep i use that ROM sometimes.
But!
The downside by switching to that rom is that you will lose the great image processing/Camera in your phone.
TouchWiz/Samsung Firmware does do great photos. that's why i stay on touchwiz. but if you dont really use the camera or dont care about the quality at all and you are more about performance and battery life. go for the GpE 5.0 by danvdh. it's a great rom after all! :good:
that's the rom I'm on right now xD Nah,I don't really care about phone's camera.Btw,ure avatar scares me :-s

What is the consensus on the CM12 nightly builds?
Is anybody using them?
I just got my 9506 and all I really want out of a rom is the stock look, like Nexus or GPE, which CM provides.

If you are hard gamer, I recommend you to use official CM12. I've tested both and seems like theres serious graphical issues in arters cm12. But both are good for daily use, battery life is little bit worse in arter cm12. Theres not much differencies.
The consensus is that Temasek rom built by @arter97 is the BEST rom for our device, even better than touchwiz rom, and of course better than official cm builds.

I do not agree the official cm12 by the time will be better because of it's easier to handle, flash and has OTA update.
Can someone please explain what the main differences/goals are between the three major ROMS are? (official cm12, solk2, and arter97/temasek) Looking around the forum, I can't seem to find anything closer than "X is better than Y" and "The difference is in tuning" and other vague things like that

Yeah and they have better support to rom. I mean they update it every day etc..
Arters rom is based on temasek moded version of CM12 - it does include a bit more than the barebone CM12. It is rock solid and by far good enough to be a daily driver. I found it to be great with games (as a reply to another post here). Played Star Wars Kotor on it for hours, it ran perfectly and did not get hot.
The "official" CM12 I have not tried, but it seems to be lagging a lot behind arter. They had, or still have?, problems with wifi/mobile nettwork and other stuff. Does not seem to be a daily driver yet.
I just don't get why you guyz think that easy flashing and faster releases is a positive feature in terms of rom stability.
I'm quite happy with updates arter releases, they are stable and battery friendly, besides it have all goodies from temasek rom.
Don't wanna be a flashaholic!
I don't want to be a flashaholic either. Maybe when official gets a snapshot version, or milestone, but that may never happen looking at the history.
I was using CM11 on the previous 9505 but everything changed with Lollipop.

I was looking very skeptic when it was available, but I was amazed how stable and fast it was.
Started with v1, I`m using arters build and had ZERO accidental restart, (FC, camera can`t connect and etc... ) or any bug that affects daily usage. I came from M12 i9300 CM11.
Does casting work? Moving apps to SD?
Casting works fine with Chromecast. Accessible from quick pulldown panel.
Move 2 sd is broken, it`s CM bug.

Gotcha, the rom I was using with the 9505 did not have cast working and SD moving was also broken.
For me official cm12 is the best and always up to date. I tried mokeedev, arter, solk and back to official
I think I will try official cm12 when there is a at least a snapshot build.
What's broken in it at the moment, anything? What camera do you use?
I update daily with last nightly. For my usages nothing's broken. Very stable. I use Google camera.
Do you have a chrome cast? Can you connect to it?

Yes I have one. No problem to use it
I'll admit I get completely baffled with all the S4 variants.
1. Put simply is there a UK GT-I9505 Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?
2. What's device name to Cyanogenmod call it?
My GT-I9505 is from Everything Everywhere in the UK (who still haven't released lollipop).
Thanks
1. Yes.
2. jfltexx.
Perfect. Thanks.
jfltexx Snapshots stopped in February 2014 with M3. Which is weird as my LG G Pad last got a stable build in November 2014 with M12. That's a bit worrying if I want a stable/reliable CM build.
p.s. Stable being used generally. I'm aware CM used to use Stable as a specific naming convention.

Nightlies are more stable then the snapshots. So don't let naming misguide you. Just go for either the nightlies or the one in my signature. Ps go for the 12.1 branch, more stable then the 12 branch.
Really?
I thought the whole point was Stables were signed off?
Nightlies also updated daily which is bewildering. I just want a stable Android 5.1 release really. I'm not especially interested in the "cutting edge".
Thanks

The thing is: a rom may work perfectly for me and for you it gives various problems.
Bugs vary from device to device.
For instance, most roms I have tried on my device have worked perfectly (Thankfully).
But I saw other people who reported various issues with the same rom.
You will have to try for yourself.
the GPE rom by Danvdh is one of the most stable roms I have tried. It's still 5.0.1 though.
Resurrection Remix with Alucard kernel also works fine for me.
You might also try FlexOS. People say it has nice battery life.
AICP was also stable for me.
SaberMod CM12.1 stable too. But haven't tried it for some time.
They are all based on CM12.1.
You might also try the official CM12.1 Optimized build.

I'd rather stick with a stable ROM that's been signed off and had some quality control applied to it for that very reason. I prefer to just install a ROM and be done with it (maybe upgrading every now and again OTA) .
Like you say otherwise you could be fine (probably) or maybe not.

Interesting idea. Is this much more optimised for the S4 than the regular CM12.1 nightlies?
Being a fork isn't there a chance it'll get out of sync with the CM12.1 nightlies?
Thanks for the info on the other ROMs.

The optimized builds are developed by the same developer as the nightlies for the s4. So they pretty much go head to head.
Oh nice thanks.
Do the latest CM12.1 nightlies have the ability to turn the S4 legacy Menu button into an App-Switcher button? It's irritating having to hold down the Home button to switch between apps.
Lastly, is there anything major left in CM11 not in CM12.1 now? Is there a list somewhere?
I understand missing features is one of the reasons a CM12.1 Snapshot hasn't been released.

Seeing as android M is close development for CM12.1 will stop at some point and CM13 will start.

+1 for the CM12.1 Optimized build. I had low mobile signal which resulting in big battery drain in the otherwise awesome Danvdh 5.0.1 GPE rom. Had to ditch it.

Why are the optimized builds so far behind? The latest CM12.1 optimized build for the S4 looks to be 2015-06-16 but there's a regular CM12.1 nightly dated 2015-06-25.
Hello guys,
i'm looking for the most stable and fastest rom with the best battery life.
I would like to hear your opinions.
im currently on cloduyg2 3.3 and its batter life is poor on my d802 and it stuck.
in addition, if you suggest using a rom can you plz shortly explain what should i do to install it from cloduyg2 3.3?
thank you very much.
sorry if there was a similiar post, i couldn't find it.
Battery life depends mostly on the kernel used
Give dorimanx kernel a try

Hello my fellow S5 users! I just wanna know what people think is the most similar as ROM for S5 atm, when used S4 and S3 I used Slimrom as I'm not updated in the ROM univers I'm not sure what its called atm, but I would like something similar light weight but also customizable. I have looked at xtrestolite ROM and saw it as a good replacement as I use omega atm (4.4.4). The reason why I'm at KitKat is just because of stability and I would like that in my new ROM as well. It would be much appreciated!
Btw om not starting a best ROM thread I'm just asking for something similar to Slimrom that is also stable!

I have tested every rom I've come across and Xtrestolite v2.3 is the rom that passed the test of time Phoenix and Fusion rom I didnt find stable enough until very recently and there are some recent updates. There are probably more TW-roms thats good but those are the ones I like.
Probably any CM12.1-based rom is as stable as can be expected now in my humble opion. Personally I like Blisspop and Resurrection Remix, but Cyanogenmod might just be the most minimalistic I think.
Hope I helped
