[Q] Ideal ROM for Defy+ - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

INSTALED SLIMKAT -- DELETE --
Hi,
I don't know what happened, but somehow, my phone is stuck on boot logo. Tried to delete all sort of caches, not helped (I have this rom: cm-10.2-20131020-NIGHTLY-mb526).
So I decided go to new ROM. But there is so many custom ROMS out there, I don't really know which is best for me.
Requeirements for new ROM:
ANDROID 4+: I want at least android 4 and newer.
STABLE ROM: I want most stable (not nightly) ROM.
USAGE: I use only GMAIL, SMS, CALL + BROWSER. Nothing more needed.
FAST: I would love to have some basic UI with no useless skins and etc. I only use few android options.
BATTERY: Long battery! This is really important for me.
Well, this is it. I am looking for any advice. I am thinking about SlimKat.

slimkat was perfect daily rom for me with no surprises :good:

[q] miui 2.5.25

Hi guys,
Does anyone still have this version of miui by Will5 on his hard drive? I can't download it from will5 thread.
It would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I know it doesn't help your problem much, but have you tried CM10.2 yet? It is such a better ROM in every way than any other I've used on my trusty MS2, Will5's MIUI included.
Thanks, but I actually use cm10.1 by Tezet. It's the most stable and smooth (after some optimizations such as disabling a lot of apps in hwa acceleration) for me. Everytime I try cm10.2 from czeshop or englemars I meet some problems like with bluetooth ad2p, some reboots or hangs... they are not enough finalized IMHO. Now I put all my hopes in kitkat
Anyway, going back to topic, I wanted to find this version of MIUI for my other MM2 to check the difference of performance between this good old miui that I really enjoyed back then and CM10.1. But I am afraid that no one hes this version of MIUI on their hard drive anymore
I finally manage to found that latest version of GB MIUI and it's such a pleasure to find it back. It's so much faster than any of the other roms I have tried. I've been on tezet's CM10 for almost a year, but going back to this miui rom makes my phone ultrasnappy! I forgot that pressing the phone button could make the dialer appear in less than 3 seconds... same for SMS and almost everything in the phone!! You click, it appears, period. No waiting time.
I'll still follow the evolution of KitKat, but even kitkat (I've only tried Engle-Mars one) is not as fast and quick responding as this good old MIUI for the moment. I hope dev will manage to optimize them to that level of snappiness!
I would recommend using KitKat. For me it turned out a lot faster than the CM10.x versions :good:
I don't know about the Engle-Mars Version, but the one of Czechop still reboots on me once a day. Featurewise they are both already on par with Tezets last Rom(but faster).

Stock with PIE?

hi,
im looking for an easy option to have stock ROM with PIE.
This is my first android device (coming from ios) and i tried different roms. First PA 3.99 then Mahdi rom (on which i am for now, the latest version with 4.2 kernel).
What i really love from modded roms is the PIE navigation. I really cant live with it anymore. Apart from that, i dont care which ROM i use all i want ist pure stability, performance and battery. That bugged me with PA and Mahdi sometimes i had reboots, gps not working and what bugged me most is how silent the speaker is for notifications.
I really appreciate the devs and one can see that great roms will be build, but fo now i want stability and battery.
I thought going back to stock and install PIE could be the best? i havent tried PA 4.3 yet since im on D802 and ive read for some people this rom breaks the screen.
Any advice what

If you don't mind being stock and rooted I would recommend LMT. I've never used it with straight stock but I've used it with several Rom's and really like it. Give it a try. Link below.

Questions about CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM by ED300

Hey guys, I'm new here.. like super new and that's why I can't post to The Best CM12.1 CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM For Lenovo A6000/Plus (Stable) thread.
I would love to flash this rom. Stock KK is so slow and hanging every time I try to run more than one app (Spotify + Snapchat? Impossible!) But here is the thing. I've never did that before. I guess I know how to flash TWRP recovery and the actual ROM but I have no clue what to do with so many kernels.
My questions are:
1. Why do I need flash some kernel? I just want functional phone for everyday use with the best peformance+battery backup. I'm not looking for some "everyday flashing something new.". so can I just flash the rom without any addiotional kernel?
2. Dolby! I love music and I love Dolby. Can I flash Dolby Atmos?
3. Nobody is talking about heavy RAM usage (like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram - that's all I need actually). I know, 1 Gb is not many but I was suprised when my friend's 1GB ram phone can handle running Snapchat, Messenger and Spotify in one time without any significant lag! HOW?!
4. What is No Optimization? Why do I need it? What is this good for?
5. What is screen blinking bug? I just want to know if I wouldn't mind it.
6. Is there any guide how to revert back to Kitkat stock rom? I'm always trying to be safe.
7. In Kitkat there's possibility to swap internal storage and SD card. Is it presented also here?
Thank you so much for your answers! Really guys! And sorry, my English is bad, I know.
Have a nice day.
i will be glad to guide you
1-make a backup for every thing in twrp recovery savet in ext sd -just in case
2-as a beginner don't disturb your self withe custom kernel section
3-just download the rom and update 11 and gapps
4-no optimization for advanced users who are like to use their own optimization
5-blinking bug is bug common in this rom the screen goes off for 1 sec and turn on again
6-you have to try the rom by your self to judge it for me it is the best rom i have in this device

i shall make a video tutorial on how to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 on a6000 by tonight =)
i have a question too that which rom is stable, ive tried cyanogenmod 12.1 but it lags i believe it hits a bottleneck limit causing it to lag because i cant seem to browse websites on chrome in peace without it hanging for a few...is there any other stable lollipop rom which doesnt consume too much RAM or should i add a custom kernel to squeeze out more performance

Custom kernels r used to squeeze more power and performance, so that u can get the most out of ur phone. If u know how to use custom kernels, dn go ahead with the flashing of ur preferred custom kernel. All ur hanging and lagging isues will be minimized at a great level. I personally prefer telo kernel by Mr. AW., and used the balanced setting given by ED300, and some settings that satisfy me, i haven't faced any lag thereafter.
Good luck!!

Looking for rom suggestion for Nexus 7 2012

Hi!
I'm pretty confused at the moment, there are so many roms and I don't know which one to chose. Right now I have CM 12.1 on my Nexus 7 2012, but it's very slow, even after a factory reset, so I would like to resurrect it. I read that the "best"? rom is the CM 11.2 one based on 4.4.4, but I can find it anywhere to download, since developing CM stopped.
It would be great if you could suggest a download link, or another rom which would be fast and fluent on the device. Or even a simple 4.4.4 rom if those are good.
Thanks very much in advance!
Official 4.4.4 will be the best choice, IMHO. Simple and effective solution. Factory Images for Nexus - https://developers.google.com/android/images
PS: Note, that if you install many Google Apps or applications actively working in the background and using a flash drive (eg, facebook, twitter, etc.) you will still experience lags. Unfortunately, it was not possible to completely remove the lags on any ROM
Thanks for the suggestion! I've flashed slimkat 9, it feels pretty good, but maybe I will try the stock 4.4.4.
