Hiya guys.
My daughter has sent me her S3 to repair (broken screen) and now that it's up and running again I'd like to root it and throw a ROM on there to make it as reliable as possible (so as I don't get it sent to me again! Any recommendations?
Kitkat would be nice but the main thing is reliability.
Thanks

For stability, it'd have to be 4.1.2 to 4.3. You could try CM, Omni or Slimkat for 4.4 but you'd have to deal with any crashes, glitches etc
Stock is still the most stable, but also the slowest. My recommendation is one of Archis pre rooted ones and some debloating.
Tapped with Tapatalk on my GT-I9300 running rooted and debloated stock 4.3.
Best Rom requests are against xda rules, as they can cause bad feeling. Best try them for yourself.

Guys
What's the popular opinion out there on the best S4 Rom with all the TouchWiz features from stock, but optimized and with an option to install custom Kernel like KT's + WiFi tethering?
Thanks.
Right now it's so early in the mods, there all pretty close. I've been using ShoStock and love it. I've tried most of the other Roms as I am a flashaholic, but I always come back to ShoStock. Thank goodness for backup/restore. Lol

Goldeneye Rom. Very stable and offers a lot of customization.
ALL ROMs are the best for those that use them.
Please do not make "What's the best XXXX" threads.
Members are expected to do the research
Thanks

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!

1. If you want a rom with All In One S5 N3 S4 N2 apps and various tweaks then Tamirda's PhoeniX V18.5/18.8 is best option...you will not maiss anything there
2. If you want Stock N3+N2 then Dr Ketans rom is best
3. If you want N2+S5 only then MrLuong' s rom is best and themed (it has great battery life because of lite ver. and black theme)
4. If you want other than this then try DN3 or Phantom
I am CURRENTLY using PhoeniX and its greatest!

Try X-Treme

I am using Omega v27 since it was released and it has been rock solid,buttery smooth and battery friendly so far.I have no complains of it.
phantom Rom is The best for battery life and performance......:good:

Cyanogen Mod is definitely not pure android. There are many many additional features not present in AOSP. Also it has a custom kernel which sets it apart even more. Nice try
Dr.Ketan ROM V7 is my 3rd rom.. a bit buggy but still a best rom from all rom i have tried.. now downloading the Dr.Ketan Custom control ROM V7.1..
Dr Ketan got V7.1 now

As someone metioned here. All depends on whta you want in your phone. All ROMs here are great and I have tested few of them. For me I look for the lightest RAM consuming ROM with Aircommand . I can say Phantom and X-Tream are the best for what I want.
Phantom rom have note 3 apps like snote etc? How about stability?

This type of question/topic is not allowed. There is no such thing as best or most stable.
Try the roms and find out what is best/most stable for you.

Hey guys, I'm on rooted stock android 4.3 odex rom. Last month I installed some mods (S5 launcher + S5 accuweather widget) on my device. Well everything is working well, just that everytime I boot my phone I'll have to wait for like 1 or 2 minutes because the "Android is upgrading" dialogue keeps appearing every boot. I bear with it for a month but its getting annoying when I have more and more apps installed on my device. I want to install S5 KK rom, but its buggy, so I wish to install a deodexed stock 4.3 rom at the moment. Can you guys give me some suggestions? I'm looking for a deodexed stock 4.3 rom with high performance and low ram consumption. Thanks guys :fingers-crossed:
