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.

Hi guys.
I'm in a great dilemma right now.
I like TW but almost all custom kernels are giving me reboots every now and then. :/
Right now I'm using Adam Kernel which doesn't reboot on me, but I need more, like voltage control etc.
So I'm considering either using an AOSP or Google Edition ROM.
Because there are TONS of ROM's out there I'll need your help.
I'm looking for a ROM which:
A) Is completely stable and has little to no bugs.
B) Is not lagging on games, because I game a lot on my S4.
If I'm gonna use a custom kernel I'll definitely need another ROM.
Also I don't care if it's 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as it's stable and get the job done right.
Anyway, can you suggest some ROM's based on my needs?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Come on, just post the name of the ROM if you're bored!

Best Kernel/Rom threads are forbidden on XDA , this will get closed soon.
And if you can't handle any kernel without reboots except for Adam Kernel (which is pretty much stock) then that tells me your cpu cant handle undervolting mate
Omega if you want a stable TW experience with some customization, MIUI if you want a completly new and awesome experience but can tolerate some issues popping up.
I run MIUI atm

First of all, this isn't a "best rom" thread, this is a thread for suggesting a good rom based on my needs.
Also I've had reboots without undervolting so your argument is a bit invalid I'm afraid.
Anyway, If you're not going to help I'd suggest you stop spamming the thread because I'm aware of the xda rules.
Thanks.
Echoe or WanamLite.
Have tried a quite a few roms atm using echo rom and ausdim v11 kernal. Stable fast and great battery life. GE roms are great. I recommend reading through the threads and choosing the first thing that grabs your eye. Enjoy

Guys, thanks for the help but I'm on Omega and don't want to switch to another TW rom.
I'm looking only for AOSP/AOKP/GE ROM's.
Thanks!

A "pick the best rom for me" thread is still a best rom thread. IBTL

This is still a best rom thread no matter how you try to sugar coat it,

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.
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
Hi, i need a good ROM for my mother's phone, so that should be the stablest possible. It will be good also if it has at least JB and if it's oriented to low consumption
Thank you
Just download the latest stable cyanogenmod rom.I think its the stablest and it is jb

One guy told me to try JB 4.3 Mackay's ROM that is CM10.2-based, do you know if it's stable?

Yes, Mackay ROMs are very good.

in fact 4.3 Mackay is based on the latest stable release of cm 10.2.It cant be stablest than cm in my opinion.It has some tweaks to run smoother, cm may be a little slower but in fact no rom can beat cm at stability(except 2.3 gb roms).

Although it's 4.2.2, it is very very stable, little ot no lag. Good enough for daily use!

Cyanogenmod nightlies are the most stable for me. Other roms have too many modifications but official cyanogenmod safe and simple
Stock ROM
I am in the same situation. My mum is complaining about her stock rom being sluggish and randomly rebooting. I will probably get her the latest Nexus phone available at the end of the year. However in the mean time could CM 10.2.1 be more stable / faster than stock? She don't need new features but does the later software have improved memory handling ect?

Mackay JB 4.3 is good to my mom only some keyboard opening lag but maybe you can try another one and solve it
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.

I been wondering about that for a longer while. Every time I want to flash something I'm getting paranoid while reading the threads.
Which custom rom [or roms] is the best one for now and why exactly?
Is gcam quality on custom roms better?
I personally want upgrade it with predator kernel, but which benefits the most from the modifications and which is the most reliable comparing to stock?

Hi Jagth. If you only have one phone that you depend on for daily use, my suggestion is to stay stock until you have a second phone to experiment with. However, if you have a second phone, I would suggest you read some reviews, then pick a ROM and a kernel you think you would like, and experiment and have some fun.
You can continue flashing ROMs and kernels until you find something you really like, and then maybe you could stick with it for a while before you go again. However, if you only have one phone, then stay stock, because custom ROMs can be very unpredictable. Good luck!
