Hi, I'm planning to try some KitKat ROM for my Mi2S. What you can recommend? It doesn't needs to be based on MIU, but it must be fast stable and battery safe.
I read good recommendations for MoKees ROM, but I want have more tips from you guys.
Thank you for any tips
Hello, Mokees Rom is a very good rom, with tones of features, but I prefer official CM11 from M1cha. It's not so "heavy" and for me it's ideal for daily use.
Hi, thanks for the tip. I'm currently on the MoKee, but I will probably test also official CM. MoKee is fine, but not so slight as I expected. I must say that old MIUI v5 was better.
Im using omni as daily. Personally I think micha's kernel is better than mokee one. The best thing is test the ROMs you might be interested and choose the best for your needs
I'm just testing latest sMIUI v6. I was fighting with some some settings ther, but finally I fixed most of the issues, so I will probably stay for some time with this ROM. Anyway the performance still to perfect as with MIUI v5.
what about battery usage?
battery usage seems to be fine. cannot say objectively, because my usage differs in last days, but its approx. 1-2 days. i'm still using, wifi, bt, gps, & data
Ihave tried many roms and I have to say that the pacman is so far the best cause is the one with most customizations. Love it.
Not sure how this thread lasted this long but.

Plz guys help to find good Rom for my S4 and without problems
Every rom is great, just try them and read a little in the threads to find the one that fits you
I prefer that you should stick to stock-based Roms because they are more stable than AOSP, MIUI, etc. Every Rom has their sets of issues just as us humans, we are not perfect. We have to overlook acceptable problems such as occasional and minimal lags or delays, but not the significant problems such as wifi connectivity, bluetooth problems, cellular data/signal problem, FCs, quick battery drain, extreme overheating, and etc.
So there is this stock-based rom that I use, called Imperium Rom v.12 by Slim80 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-imperium-ll-v1-0-t3046889 It is the most stable Rom I have ever used as of now and I like to make my S4 committed to it, not commiting adultery with other roms anymore. Don't limit yourself by flashing an AOSP-based rom. The reason is the bugs that come with these AOSP roms and limited features compared to what I have been using now. Perhaps S4 is really meant to stick with its roots, not in the roots of others. So I suggest that you stick with a Touchwiz-based rom because of the premium features that AOSP doesn't have such as the amazing camera features, multi-window, great keyboard, and many more. Let the S4 grow in its roots.
I hope I could have helped you decide.
Note: This will be time-consuming, all of the flashing, organizing, and many other things. This can make us forget and ignore the existing human relationship we have now with families, friend, and the people around us and most importantly , the relationship we have with our Creator. Time is short. So I hope this android development thing will not interfere with the real priorities we have now for it had scrambled mine. So best wishes in Jesus' name.
Dirty Unicorn 9.8 or CM 12.1 SnapShot
For me i prefer Imperium Rom V12... Im also using albe95 note5 rom but still nothing compares with the original modified stockrom.. no lags, no bugs, smooth.. and the coolness whenever i play games.. especially when i play nba2k16, the temperature of my fone never changes..
PhoeniX Rom v11.6
I use PheoniX Rom (v11.6). And I think this is the best rom you can found at this moment for the galaxy s4. I am a flashaholic, so I tried every (TouchWiz) rom I could found here. But always come back to PhoeniX Rom. It is full of features, so that xposed is no more necessary (for me). The Battery life is also very good for our old device and everything is running smooth and fast. I use imperium Kernel and never had any issue with this awesome rom.

its based on Older Build :crying: OF2 thats the only issue.
Touchwiz Based Roms :
[ROM] Albe95 S6 FULL PORT 4.7 [S6/Edge FEATURE PORT]
CM Based ROMS: Dirty Unicorn 9.8 or CM 12.1 SnapShot
But this isn'^t the correct section.
Request Move please.
Albe95 Note 5 port and Imperium 12 are best that i have come upon.

I have to try this rom
Thx
For me i prefer Echoe ROM v5.0 wiht kernel echoe v5.7 ..stable for me
Indeed Imperium is one of the best tw ll based custom roms. But the only thing I don't understand is why Samsung themed lollipop so bright, although we all know that amoled screens have a better battery life with dark pixels. This question really bugs me.

Can Imperium (and Albe for that matter) be made to be dark all the way, ie how 4.4 was?

It's simple: they don't care
Sammy lollipop firmware is way below kk in terms of battery life. Also has more bugs, lag, etc
Edit: I think this thread should be moved into right section...
I found stock to be great but front camera works horrible on all of them. Aosp and cm roms give you better quality images and most likely better battery life too
its either Stock 5.0.1 (which is what i am on) or Imperium rom

You must be high or something.. everyone knows that AOSP based roms have terrible camera apps and horrible image quality.. Samsung camera app is way better.. and this is the only reason I can't stick to AOSP.. besides it gets boring after a while!

To be honest, best rom overall is samsungs stock rom 6.0.1. All the features (gps, nfc.....) work, you get good battery life, much more stable than any other rom, and even better performance than any cm. Also all the icons in status bar in cm looks retarded and its hard to understand what they do as there is no text below them, you also get a good camera app that no aosp android has. So yes, overall samsungs rom is the best, iam very dissapointed in the whole cm and aosp roms, they try to bring something else, but they fail miserably to bring any improvements, as there is too many bugs that get in the way.
For best overall ROM, stock 6.0.1 is what you want. Performance and battery life is best on stock.
As for custom ROM, my favourite is Resurrection Remix v5.7.4. Battery life is great (not as good as stock) and has all of the customisation features that I like. CM13 is also good and I find it the most stable custom ROM from my usage. Gaming performance however is a hit and miss on AOSP ROMs.

So i am not the only one that has seen even 2d gaming is very bad on CM.
AOSP? Resurrection Remix. Theyve been rockin as of late. TW? MOAR 7.0. Other than the fact that its a bit old and isnt supported by the devs anymore, its a killer TW ROM.
I bet that this has been asked a lot, but since I've haven't found anything that is concise, I'm here to ask it again.
I have a SM-G900M model which currently is running my customized TouchWiz firmware, but I want it to run with Android 7 to have the latest features and to give it a little more lifetime. I've tried LineageOS, but it drains battery too darn quickly to be a daily driver. Is there any really good alternative or I'm out of luck?
Thanks in advance.
CM13-based ROMs (inc. RR 5.7.4) generally have better battery life in my experience.

CM13 is based on Android Marshmallow, which I already use. I want something based on Android Nougat, so I can give my phone a little more lifetime
Firstly, Good job keeping and sticking with this OP2 device ! You are truly something.
QUESTION : From all the Oreo Roms available, which has been your favourite combination of Rom and kernel, mainly aimed at battery life and maximum stability ? Keep in mind that this question is posed towards your opinion and YOURS ONLY. Just because you seen someone saying that it's the best, shouldn't be your combination choice.
Cosmic and bb
The new pixel rom has been amazing so far... good battery SOT and smooth rom.

Tried all Oreo Roms except Cosmic. The most I enjoyed AOS Illusion Project with BlueBolt kernel for the reasons you mentioned. Stable, good battery life and enough customisability.
