it's impossible for something to be perfect and without having a single issue. but the rom with the least issues in my opinion would be Virtuous Unity, a great rom developed by the hardworking Virtuous team. that rom is the closest you can get to perfect. try it.

thread is in the mytouch 4g development section.

What is it that you are wanting out of a rom? Different people like different things, and while some like vu (myself included), others want a more vanilla Android experience. Which would point closer to cm.

Depends on your preference. I like sense and the one nearest to perfect for me is Virtuous Unity. Like saranhai said nothing is perfect nothing will be. The stock rom that comes with mytouch is not perfect at all. Some roms have a tad little bit of lag some just a little bit more. Something about every rom is different. Like eqjunkie829 said. You could want sense like me, him and alotof other people. Or you can go with a more aosp/vanilla rom.

No offense or anything but im trying to help the guy rathar than say. "depends" "its all about preference" or "use the search button"
By you saying it sucks is too general. What does "suck" mean?
His answers will allow us to pinpoint him in the right direction. Other wise I might as well copy and paste all the links i saved.

I bought this 3 months ago.I like a battery saving Rom.I know there are faster Roms,but current speed (official GB update)doesn't feel bad for me.Also, there is a problem of camera quality of this GB update.

Easy. CM7.
Nothing is more stable and more battery efficient than CM7.
Can't go wrong.

Hmmmm, without a single issue?
I don't think such an animal exists in our modern world...
From my experience, using the stock sense that came with the phone had by far far far more issues than cm6, 7 and 7.1- fc almost every phone conversation followed by signal loss, flaky wifi, lots of problems with the (nice) automatic profile switching etc.
So whatever you install, you're probably going to be "issuewise" much better than stock. Perhaps you'll have to sweat a little more to make it look as neat as sense, though.

MIUI. I got tired of sense roms, that drains battery a lot and makes phone lag after some use.
MIUI is fast, stupid fast actually, and i'm @ 1 GHz CPU. Super customizable , good for battery save.

Try Cyanogen mod (CM7). Like a few suggested!
All my cam apps work great on the stable version.
Battery life is probably the best of all the ROMs because of its simplicity.
This ROM is all about functionality
Although I use MIUI. Which also has great battery life (1day 6hrs) it has its quirks with some camera apps. I just wanted a sleeker user interface
I use a simple cam app anyways and I love the customization. My main goal for rom was battery life, & speed ( i was on 2.2 and it was very laggy out of the box) I just got my phone 2 months ago.
My last smart phone was an htc fuze lol and my previous phone was a simple nokia bar phone.
So I was totally oblivious to rooting prior to 2 months ago.

cyanogen
well I'm using cyanogen 7 stable version and I don't have any issue

running TDJ 2.2.0 just to switch things up a little bit
10+ hours and just now hitting 50%, so far so good
TDJ's port of that rom works wonders

Virtuous Unity for me, never one single issue, great performance, features, speed, battery life.

Virtuous unity was ok, not perfect by any means. It was a heavy rom, some times leggy and had some random FC's I never got in other roms. For a more stock sense/espresso hybrid (with out the stupid blocky apps), royal glacier has to be the most stable rom I have tried. I am currently running Faux's nexus rom and I love it so far, no issues. So if your into AOSP stuff, I would look into that.

Faux nexus 1.3.1
So I have been using faux's nexus 1.3.1 ROM for about a week now, I calibrated the battery right after I flashed it using the battery calibration app, and the battery life is amazing. It lasted 1 day 5 hours according to my battery stats right after I calibrated. Also it has been one of the most stable ROMs I have used besides royalglacier. No FC's or random reboots. One thing I have learned, which may be a total noob thing but whatever, is if you are going from sense to AOSP, you cannot restore any data after you flash your rom. You have to use titanium backup or the mybackup pro app to get your apps, SMS, call logs and the likes back. It might be common sense but i never knew that and it kept me away from aosp roms for a long time!

Tired of flashing roms

Wondering if anybody feels that this flashing roms thing got annoying and at some point you realize al you do is flash romsinstead of using your phone for serious matters? Do not flame, I like flashing roms too, I was just feeling may be at some point it is no fun anymore? i'd like to see what you guys think. Share your thoughts

Really phone after phone I only do is flash Rom restore data, settings etc.mostly the phone remains unexplored.I think my phones run a Rom maximum for 3 days and minimum for few hours.it's really useless once you get a good get a good Rom,but one keeps on flashing I don't know what we achieve.but may be we do to kill time.

Flash Addict
I, for a period of time, was flashing approx 1-2 roms per day on my HTC Sensation. Before I went to work I would have a look what for something new and if it wasn't doing it for me, (or if I was bored) would flash another when I got home. Since getting the S3 though have only flashed 4 different roms, mainly due to the fact that I am happy with Omega. Damn you Omega Team for stopping my flashing addiction!

On the bus, on the sofa, on the toilet... Its always fun if you're doing it for the right reasons.

Lol

What I mean is if you're frantically flashing roms trying to find one that fixes xxx issue, then its annoying. If you are being adventurous for more functionality or for a just for a change, its always fun.

As long as you freeze/uninstall the useless crap, stock ROMs run great since the SGS2. So, I haven't bothered with custom ROMs since SGS1. Most of the flashing nowadays is trying out the various kernels and messing with my init.d file.
You're right though, I've actually spent more time using the phone than constantly messing with the settings... not necessarily a bad thing.

With the gs3, I think the stock rom is just perfect. Devs are good but there always is some issue which makes them post an update every week. I am new though, maybe I am not the right person to talk about this

This is exactly why a little over a year ago I went from the original Galaxy S to iPhone 4. I was trying everything out, it became almost like an addiction. Yeah, that sounds a bit stupid, but I really felt it was like addiction.
I spent hours every night flashing, restoring, flashing and again restoring. I hardly got the phone set up the way I liked it before I flashed again. It started to feel like I was just flashing ROMs all the time and not really using my phone for anything else. So I got really exhausted in the end and thought I'd try iOS - a platform notorious for its limitations when it comes to customizations.
I think the year I spent with my iPhone did me good. I realized that it's more valuable (for me) to set up the phone, tweak the things that need tweaking and then just USE it, with akin to a "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" attitude.
I often told friends and relatives when they asked for my opinion about the iPhone that it was the most reliable phone I have ever used. I could always rely on it to do the stuff I needed it to do when I needed it. Later on I started to reflect over this and came to the conclusion that the phone or the OS really isn't more reliable than Android at all. Android was unreliable for me because I was always messing with it. It was me, not the phone or the OS.
So now I have given my iPhone to the wifey and have my SGS III, and sure I have tried ROMs, I have tried 5 or 6 of them I think. Now I have found one that I really like, it looks nice, it does what I want it to do, battery seems fine, I really have no complaints. Now I just have to steer clear of the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality.
With that said, I today saw that nitr8 is bringing his Insanity ROM to the SGS III, and Insanity was one of my favorite ROMs on my SGS1, so yeah I'm tempted to try it, and I probably will do that at some point. But I don't feel like I have to, because the ROM I have now and the way I have set it up really works for me.
I'm just hoping the feeling will last this time... :silly:

Its just all about the little tweaks.

I did that with the OG touch diamond and the holy grail of Rom flashing, the HD2. Now that I'm alittle older and wiser since then, I scaled back a lot with the S3 and would only go as far as rooting the stock Rom, flash a kernel or radio, and editing build.prop.....for now, at least

I was a junkie with my HTC hero and hd2, I got only s2 because of how great many roms in would flash.. With s3 i have only flashed it once... And I'm happy.. All though I'm addicted to always check xda for updates everytime I get a chance..
The one rom i flashed was cm9 0701 experimental and it's been treating me great. Don't use all features of touchwiz and to be honest it feels more stable and smooth with a experimental build of cm9 then it ever did with touchwiz lol.
My addiction is over finally

I was a rom junky at one point;guess I was a phone junky too from the g1 to mytouch slide to hd2 to g2 to g2x to sgs2...flashing and restoring constantly it seemed. Just trying to find that perfect rom/phone combination to make all my wildest dreams come true lol now I'm on a Hercules aosop rom wondering if the sgs3 is worth getting

I do flash lots of ROMs, but I am quite glad with Samsung's stock ROMs (works for me, as long as I can keep root between flashes).
I flash a new ROM everytime a ROM with a higher CL # is released.

Addicted to flashing !!
from my htc incredible s, htc one x , acer a500 iconia tab and now my samsung galaxy s 3 i have always flashed my phones from first day of purchase.
the browsing through xda became a regular thing for me, looking for that rom that catches my attention, i always look for stable, fast and nice themed roms with tweaks, at some point i was flashing my phones 2 to 4 times a day lol
i dont know why but it was a sense of exploring, being able to rip a stock out and making it into something that is more for you.
my wife obviously dont understand so she gets the ****s when i purchase a brand new phone and straight away mod the **** out of it lol
the way i see it, purchasing a smartphone comes stock which is restricting and customizing it is limited !!
so flashing a custom rom is opening it up to change things to your preference.
i absolutely hate iphones, they are dull and so restricted and basically all the same, you know one iphone u know em all.
Android rocks and iphones can burn like they do !!!

Yeah I'm the same, I flashed Omega when i 1st got my phone because it was the only custom rom and loved it. I have flashed a few roms but always went back to Omega.
The only thing I flash religiously is siyah kernel updates.

I think it's addictive and becomes a main use should be used as a smart phone

Go into the US galaxy s III forums and tell them you're tired of flashing roms..see the reaction you get. LMAO I'm sure any one of them would kill to have as many choices as we have

Thats why my SIII and most of Android is more like a toy rather than a tool for me... i always tinker my phone when i have nothing to do and always have iPhone as backup when im not doing it right.

Nexus 4 to LG G2

Hello all
I'm currently running a nexus 4. My provider is offering a very cheap price on a G2. If u was to take it I'm sure I'd go straight to CM11.
I have a few questions.
1. My main issue with the N4 is the battery life. How is it on cm11 with the G2?
2. How active are the the devs for the G2? Is this phone likely to be well supported for at least another year?
3. The other issue for me is the lack of qi charging on the European edition. Is there any decent cases that get around this?
4. What other ROMs should I look at other than CM11?
5. How is the screen quality over the N4's screen?
Thank you everyone for your valued input!

Well I have stock g2 so I cant answer questions concerning cm11.. Atleast on stock, battery life is way better than stock nexus 4 (i had n4) and screen quality is way better!

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I could stick with the stock ROM I like the vanilla android experience personally.
What are the pros of the stock ROM?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I had N4 before I got the G2.
1st, Iv'e always been a fan of stock android. Even though I had lots of samsung phones, I always envied people who have Nexus devices and are satisfied with the crappy hardware Nexus devices always had. Always some compromise with them.
When I got the G2, I discovered, I don't give a s*** about Vanilla anymore, I don't care when updates arrive, I don't care for battery saving apps.
The G2 is fast,
The UI is far superior in functionality to Vanilla
The battery, omg, is awesome.
And the Screen - Slim Bezels, super bright, low energy consuming, wide angles, just pure joy.
I'd say get the G3
But if you can only afford/get the G2 - It's pure joy. I never tried CM or CM-Based on my G2.
I had only 2 roms on it. Stock, and now Kitkat, rooted for Xposed and that's enough for me.
On my Galaxy S devices I had all sort of CM Slimkat Slimbean Paranoid etc seeking some good battery and fast UI.
The G2 rids you of all the searching. You just use it.
Even greenify is almost useless on it. But I use it cause I can.
I use root for Greenify, Call Rec via Xposed, Replaced camera app with one from XDA because the Stock sucks A***.

I got a g2 recently after cracking my Newxus screen.
The battery life on G2 will astound you. All the hangers on in threads like Franco claiming they get 5-6 hours of battery life with normal use are dispelled. The battery in the g2 will show you what it's like to actually have good battery life and be able to use your phone.
The dev community for this phone is no where near the Nexus community, it's the Nexus of course it will have a more active dev community(even though many things like Franco Kernel and others have fell off as the community moved to the Nexus 5). It is existent though you can check for yourself, not something you need to ask. There are kernels, PA port etc.
For g2 I'd honestly recommend staying away from CM and keeping one of the variants of the stock rom. It's not worth giving up the camera, potentially knock on Code(double tap to wake), Knock code, etc. I'd recommend many of the varients of cloudy rom Cloudystock(stock rom) Cloudy flex(port of g flex) or CloudyPro, or many people like Mahdi rom.
Screen quality is better than the N4 in almost every way.
<Edit> I'd get the g3 if you can wait and have the money, but if you're getting the g2 it will be better than your nexus in every way possible.

Does the Google now launcher run well on the stock ROM? If so I could probably live with the stock ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

I came from N4, too, and agree with what has been said above: stock LG ROM with root and Xposed G2 TweakBox = killer combo!
I must confess that from time to time I flash a CM, PA or SlimKat ROM, but so far none of AOSP alternative is stable and perform as well as the solution above.
Can't comment on Google Now Launcher, sorry, as I use Apex.

Yes the Google now launcher runs extremely well for me it's what I use daily and have never experienced any lag or stutter I'm using stock rom with xposed and a custom kernel also my experience with aosp / pa ect was it ran well but my battery life wasn't quite as good and the camera didn't perform quite as well (no QHD or slow mo)
Sent from my LG-D802

How far are LG behind the nexus updates? Now that the google apps etc are more modular and updates using the playstore, being slightly behind the Nexus range is less of an issue but still I wondering how good LG are with their updates.
Do you believe this phone will get the next version of android officially from LG?

I came from nexus 4.
Nexus 4 display is horrible compared to g2
Batterly life is like 2xtimes more just think u have 2x Nexus 4 on your pocket

yeah the battery life so bad on the Nexus 4 its a joke, If I finish the day with it its a miracle!

Is there an easy way to remove all the clutter from the stock notification bar? its way to cluttered for my liking, id be much happier with the standard google kitkat one....

Of course there is. Just use G2 Tweakbox Xposed module. And get full version(it is just 1$ anyway). I have always used CM based roms on my past samsung phones but G2 stock rom is just great, sure sometimes i flash aosp like mahdi (which in my opinion is best aosp rom), but i always come back to stock.
Here is how my G2 looks on complete stock rooted with few xposed modules:

Also i removed LG apps and use alternatives instead, ex. aosp Dialer, calendar, contacts, calculator, gallery and so on. So you can make stock rom look exacly as you wish it to.

I'm amazed how many of you rate the stock ROM! Ive never seem that before with other manufacturers! what makes it so good compared to a asop rom?

I'm amazed too lol I thought most of the heavy users prefer AOSP (since mahdi updated to real 4.4 sources..).
But in the last weeks i was a flashaholic (i flashed a rom per day, AOSP and stock based) and i have to say, stock is really good, combined with dorimanx its awesome (just use his kernel, if you know what you do, because i think its for advanced users, e.g. me - i bought the app "per app modes" where you can configure which app should use which clock and gov. etc., so facebook = 1,5 GHz and ondemand governor, gaming 2,4 GHz and interactive gov, etc. pp), but stock kernel is good too tho.
I'm currently thinking about to flash pure 20D stock and tweak it a bit with root + xposed (with those combos you can make your G2 almost look a like AOSP - dont know about the settings menu and the Q-tiles). But stock is really good on the G2, LG did a good work here tho. Well, i talked with a user, hes using stock with xposed for a long time and hes happy with it.
At the end its YOUR choice obviously, but since many guys are prefering stock i would give it try

Final question!
Does anyone know if the G2 works correctly with the jawbone up24? Either on the stock ROM Or cm11.
This is very important to me as I use the up24 daily with my nexus 4.

The "What is the Best or Favorite ROM/Kernel" Roll Up Thread

This is the "What is the Best or Favorite ROM or Kernel" Roll Up Thread.
It has been decided recently after much debate that creating comparison threads can have the potential to be useful and informative for the members of this website.
So in lieu of all the threads being created asking the questions, "What is the best rom? or "What is the best kernel?" for the OnePlus One device, this thread has been created.
All other threads with these same topics are allowed now as preferred by the owners of this website.
Thread Rules
1. No Flaming and no arguing. Everybody has a favorite.
2. No one is allowed to talk negatively about ROMs and/or developers or a development team. In other words, there will be no discussions about what you dislike about a certain ROM or developer.
3. No links to external sites. The ROMs must be linked on XDA.
4. No linking to non-GPL.
5. No profanity.
Please keep it clean and cordial.

My best wisdom on this subject is to always make backups, wipe clean, try new ROM, then rinse and repeat
This is the advice I would give anyone searching for the best custom ROMs xda has to offer. Having said that I'm very keen to slim ROMs on all my devices

[Q] ROM Recommendations?
So i just order my OPO a few days ago and have decided ill be rooting and getting at ak kernel but i cant figure out which rom to choose. So i'd like to here from everybody that has the different roms so i can make an informed decision. And as a reference for anybody making a recommendation i listed a few things that are important to me.
Currently leaning towards Color OS because of the camera.
Things Important to me in a rom:
1. Speed.
2. Touch Responsiveness since ive heard a few different things about CM11s with ghost touching and not beng able to keep up with fast typing.
3. Customizability. need a feature rich rom.
4. Stability. Would like a ROM that proven to not have too many bugs but its not a deal breaker if it does.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'll bite. While I don't believe any ROM is better than the other, I've been running crDroid for a few weeks now and when used in conjunction with the AK kernel I get excellent performance and battery life. It has all the features that I like in a custom ROM and is rock solid in terms of stability.
The very best and most accurate way for any person to find out which ROM is best for them though is to do testing of their own, everybody has their own taste and their own needs.

In your opinion how are the customazations compared to other CM based roms and any issues with screen responsiveness?

The screen responsiveness is perfect, it contains all of the latest touchscreen drivers. The customisations are at the same level as any other ROM. It isn't really fair to compare though, that might be seen as commenting negatively about the other ROMs.

Ok, I'll bite. While I don't believe any ROM is better than the other, I've been running crDroid for a few weeks now and when used in conjunction with the AK kernel I get excellent performance and battery life. It has all the features that I like in a custom ROM and is rock solid in terms of stability.
The very best and most accurate way for any person to find out which ROM is best for them though is to do testing of their own, everybody has their own taste and their own needs.

How long is your battery life?
I'm currently using Sabbermodded Slim with ak kernel. I haven't installed ukm or synapse to alter anything.
I am on my phone a lot throughout the day. On way to work I'm always using Google maps or navigon along with music etc. Always on the internet etc.
Do you use your phone a lot and get good battery life?

CM nightly as it gets updates/fixes fast. AK kernel to fix touchscreen and improve battery life. Sideload the DSP and Camera from CM11S if you want the 4K etc.

Wow OK and that's with no adjustments to kernel.
I'll give mine a look later mine lasts no where near that long.

Nah no adjustments, my maximum frequency is still set to 2.5gHz, but I've lowered my minimum to 268mHz, I don't think that makes all that much difference though.

Not bad as its usually always on I guess.

CM11S 33R with Franco r19
I was one of the users that reverted to CM11S 25R stock after having high battery drain on 33R stock. Took the chance yesterday and upgraded back to 33R but with the addition of the Franco r19 kernel. Excellent combination! No issues so far. Great responsiveness and battery life (6-10 mA idle).

I see a lot of you guys are picking your favorite ROM based on battery life.
I'm more concerned about smooth scrolling. I love Android, but the scrolling is hella jittery despite what the max frequency or governor is.
However, my favorite ROM is Slim Kat/SlimSaber on the stock kernel. And CM11S being runner-up. Also, stock kernels seem to be wayyyy more responsive/snappier than all aftermarket kernels.

All my other devices are running CM11 with the Hexa theme pack, so you can guess what my OnePlus One is running The only complaint I have about CM11s is that I don't have anything to tinker with except rooting :/ I almost wish CM11s had nightlies so I could flash something every now and then.
I guess I'll go wipe my cache partition just in case...

Why not just run CM11 instead?

I am very happy with Mahdi on my OPO. It has all the bells and whistles of full featured custom rooms and is rock solid. The combination of Mahdi with smooth scrolling mod, Franco kernel and vomer tweaks gives me a fast and responsive phone with excellent battery life...

The thought has crossed my mind. One of these days I'm sure I will.

Rooted this phone the day I got it (4 days ago). Been using LiquidSmooth since then and just now installed franco kernel, seems like ghost touches are gone? Hopefully an increment on battery life. Enjoying this right now!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and whilst there is no right or wrong opinion on what you are about to see, I thought it would be interesting to see how different LG Stock (and Fulmics) is to CyanogenMod 13 (CM).

I'd say "stability" rather than "quality". Quality is subjective and I think the quality of CM apps (excluding camera) are preferable to LG.

by quality i did meant camera.not of apps.those who dont use camera much should go for cm 13.those who uses camera alot should stick to stock or stock based roms.also those who like lg knock features ir blaster etc should stay with stock.as they r not available on cm13.ir blaster is available but also.

Yeah. Camera has improved a lot on CM recently. The only advantages to stock now are:
Laser Autofocus (quicker focussing)
4K recording
Slo-mo video
I think that's it now. Actual quality of shots is pretty much on par.

Is Cm13 stable and safe to install? I think i read some brick questions in CM13 thread about bug or somethink else i cant remember.

Yeah the quality of the shots do look good on CM for me, its another story for low light, but then again, that's not a strength of the hardware right? The IR blaster works for me on CM with Peel Smart Remote. I like the look of the LG Setup, personally I like it with the Materialistik icon pack. Every time I go back to an LG ROM I just go back to CM.

Officially it's not yet classified as "stable" but I've been using it since January and with the exception of a few bugs like connecting to Bluetooth fitness trackers and the volume, both of which are now fixed, my experience has been excellent.
There was a lot of talk about an EMMC bug going around but that seems to only affect people whose last official ROM was KitKat (4.4).
To avoid it (and this hasn't been confirmed but is widely recognised as the way to prevent it) boot to recovery, do a full wipe in TWRP 2.8.7, flash the stock LG Marshmallow ROM, boot and go through the motions, shutdown, boot to recovery, full wipe, flash CM13 and GAPPS. Enjoy.

Yeah I think the low light issue is there on LG and CM. I guess the laser focus on LG Stock helps with focusing in low light but there's no noticeable difference in the quality of the final image between LG and CM.

How about battery life on cm13? I have bad battery life on stock lp...max 4h sot.

Does the EMMC bug only applies to cm13? when you said flash the stock LG Marshmallow ROM did you mean this? and what do you mean when you said go through the motions? sorry for the nood questions I just want to make sure before flashing cm.

That's OK. I don't know huge amounts about the EMMC bug, I don't think anyone really does.
By "go through the motions" I just meant install the ROM and go through the setup - timezone, WiFi, etc...
As far as I know the bug is due to the different way Lollipop and Marshmallow are partitioned from KitKat.
Just make sure you use TWRP and remember to wipe

Hard to say because different factors can affect it and I'm what I'd call an intermittent user - pick it, put it down, etc - but so far today I've used nearly 50% in the past 7.5 hours including 1.5 hours of screentime (1 hour of which was playing a graphics intensive game on a fairly high brightness).

Thanks a lot mate. Just installed over 6.0 Stock KDZ and works perfect. And i love it! Since i've been a Nexus user since Gnexus, CM gone better and better. Probably i'll never go back stock again. UI is super smooth and light as a feather. I hope i dont encounter weird bugs.

I'm on stock lollipop so I should just full wipe and flash cm13 and Gapps and I won't get the EMMC bug right?

In theory yes. Lollipop was my last official LG build and I've not had any issues.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

I was on Marshmallow and after full wipe I have installed cm-13 nightly and (for now) everything works fine.
I use only 2 days stock Marshmallow - only system takes 1.4 GB RAM, but CM takes only 750MB. Battery live is for me better on CM as on stock and when I use android, It's going much more faster as on stock.
For me, I will not return to stock.
