Guys, I'm looking for a stable ROM which once flashed doesn't require any fixes, kernel optimisations, doesn't contain bugs and stuff, you know the deal.
I would like it preferably to be a GPE ROM but that isn't necessary.
Also it should have a nice battery life.
I know that this question has probably been asked before, so if you point me to a nice thread about these conditions, I would like that too

Cyanogemod Rom 12.1
If you ever want
There are 2 threads in the I9505 Android Development section for GPE roms. They are both for 5.1 GPE. 5.1 GPE is still new and there might be issues.
But you can try 5.0 GPE if the links are still available. Check out Danvdh's GPE thread.
I'm running blisspop at the moment. Head over to the unified devices thread. Its really good, not many people use it but for me battery life seems more reasonable out of the box than most. If you are looking for battery life though, try the AOSP by anteres one in the unified section. I tried it for a while, but it just didn't feel right. So I'm back on blisspop until Dan gets everything sorted out and implemented on the GPE 5.1 thread.

Hello folks. I have recently returned to using an XT907 after I lost my original whilst doing a kegstand at the beach on the fourth of july . Anyway, I have been perusing the piles of recent threads and am having trouble finding whether anybody has been keeping an up-to-date (4.1.2) rom which is perfectly stock, except deodexed, and perhaps debloated. If anybody could just point me in the direction of a thread with that information I would be grateful. I like this style rom because I like to make my own minimal design tweaks, but most importantly it seems to give me the best battery life and long term stability. If you have a seperate custom Rom that has been exceptional in both of these catagories and you care to share, that would be appreciated as well.
I am also interested in what kernel people are using with their custom roms, and how that has affected their battery life. I was able to get at least 24+- hours with solid use roughly 1yr ago which a custom setup like I've described and a custom PB&J kernel. With stock everything now, I'm lucky if I get 12 hours.
If I missed a recent thread containing any of the information that I've just discussed, I apologize but I didn't see any. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
if you want a good battery life, I suggest you use the CM stable rom for xt907, 4.2.2 andriod OS.
you can use dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex the stock Rom your self if you cant find a rom you like.

you can then debloat using this safe list

Personally I'm on CM KK nightlights and have no desire to go back to a JB rom. Fast, smooth and battery life is great. I'm using CM kernel that comes built into the rom but I know a lot of people use arrrghhh's

Hi All,
I have had my Galaxy S 4 (I9505) for a while now but it is still running android 4.3.
I was hoping to update it to 5.0.1 but when I plugged it into my PC, Kies said 'This device is unsupported'
I want to flash a new rom onto it (I have done this in the past with a samsung tablet)
I was just wanting some feedback as to what is regarded as a good rom for it these days. Should I go a standard stock rom from sammobile or are there custom roms out there that perform better?
Thanks for any help and advice.
Daniel
Custom roms give you more performance. Stock roms tend to lag here and there, from what I saw in rom reviews.
If you want a minimalist rom, go for CM12 or Slim roms. They have very few features.
If you want lots of features, go for AICP or Resurrection Remix. These two combine the most popular features from other roms (I personally use Resurrection Remix).
And there are the GPE roms. I don't know how GPE 5.1 is, but on 5.0 the rom was rock solid and everything worked.
I can't say anythinv about stock touchwiz because, since I changed I never went back

Try a custom S6 Touchwiz ROM for your phone model - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the new look, feel and performance. I know I am!
I tried CM but not such a big fan... Experiment a bit until you find what you were ALWAYS looking for!
You try to consider CM 12.1 or GPE Roms. The major disadvantage is the camera quality and some multitasking features on TW, but it's hella fast and smooth.

Roms
I would recommend Cyanogenmod but sometimes it comes with some problems. Check out first which is the stable version for s4.
Also, I would recommend the WickedRom which is great and great performance. And the WanamLite Rom is amazing if you would like to tune your mobile , for example gpu or cpu in higher frequencies or even set custom gestures and etc.( but remember to be careful with those why you might break your phone

it's like you have already a custom rom, or a rooted & modified stock rom !.

go for Resurrection Remix like said: GDReaper, or may be BlissPOP ( with terrible battery drain for me).
I tried just the straight CM 12 rom and it was okay, but once I put on the one of the Optimized CM 12.1 roms I got better battery life and faster performance, but also lost a few features, got a few bugs, but so far so good. It really depends what you want.
If you are willing to have a few crashes, bugs you can put on the newest rom builds, but if you want stable, then going for the older well established ones may be a better option.

I have to correct you here buddy It's almost always better to pick the latest CM build. Because it's a work in progress, every new build has a lot fixes.
I'm curious though to what bugs you are referring to. I used it pretty long and I found it almost to be bugfree. Besides the obvious difficulty's with bluetooth.

Hey Lenny, the official CM builds I have never had an issue with (except nightlies of course) however when we get into the custom ROM world such as Slimroms, modified CM builds etc I do tend to hit a few bugs, such as crashes of apps, however often those builds then become stable.
Hope that makes more sense?
The only good advice is to just use stock roms. It's stable, no bugs, no issues. The only thing that pisses you off is the laggggggg!
Im on Stock Firmware: 4.4.2 on my LG G2 Verizon (VS98024A). Ive been doing alot of browsing on Custom Rom's and I want to hear some opinions. My question is Whats the BEST and most Stable ROM out there today? I was never a HUGE fan of Lollipop, but im not against it; and Cyanogenmod was never my "Favorite" custom ROM, But again; not against it!
I see ALOT of ROM's by Cloudyfa for 4.4 KitKat like CloudyFlex 2.8, CloudyG2 2.2, CloudyPro II 2.3 and I wonder whats the real differences between them all [REALLY?] and also LP 5.1 Roms like Cloudyfa's CloudyG2 3.3 and the comparions between that and the KK Versions with [PORT] like OptimusG3 Rom V1.5 and the OptimusPro Rom V4.5? and You cant forget Cyanogen Mod with KK and LP Roms as well, even 6.x MM.
Not to Mention ALL the others like Pac Rom, Slim Rom, Devient, and ect ect so on!
So what are the major categorys and differences besides the obvious of Andrioid Versions; What are the Kernels like? What makes one ROM (in your specific) better then others?
I See - A LOT- of people who are new to the G2 like myself; alittle late in the game just due to the fact the phone; "Out Of the Box" is still an AMAZING phone; and everyone who didnt follow these ROM's as they were in the making; seem to be out of the loop and not cought up, and not many replys to them asking. I was hoping I could start a thread that could help people and answer some of the multiple repeat questions and help give some people some insight on this topic!
Im inviting EVERYONE who ever ran a ROM other then STOCK to chime in and spread what you know! Thanks!!
if you dont know the difference between cloudy's rom then you should unroot your device because sooner or later you will brick it
I don't know why but I kept running into lag with the stock ROM on my D800 after a couple of months of use. Eventually, I became annoyed and installed this stripped D800 ROM, and never looked back. It's very fast and lightweight giving all stock functionality, without the bloat of dozens installed and running bloatware apps. Rather unfortunately, there is only the d800 version. Perhaps, such ROMs exist for other G2 editions?
Robles.... ROM's are very personal girlfriends of our phones and us users. Your likes might aggravate me and viceversa. Cloudy offers cleaned up variations of stock OS, and then you have CM-based roms (bliss pop, resurrection, etc). The best rom? Only you can answer that. You're asking a very annoying question even though this community is very helpful. Ask a waiter what they recommend, and what should their answer be? "it depends what you're in the mood for?" Right? How does he/she know what we like? Your question is similar, and has been asked too many times. As helpful as xda is, we all appreciate that a person investigates BEFORE asking. Learn or try, and then ask.
Go on the threads and read and read comments and posts, and slowly your gut will tell you to try a rom or not. As long as you make backups with twrp, you can always return to safety with what you had.
I'm on Slimsaber LP rom, and the battery life is amazing for a daily driver. There's a start, read, read more, and good luck.
Hey all,
I've been looking for a while now but I'm not having much luck. From what I have seen, both Slimrom and Liquidsmooth dev's have either stopped/have not creating/created their respective roms for the Galaxy S5 klte. I managed to find an unofficial LS KitKat 4.4 rom for my S5 a while back now (maybe 8-10 months give or take), but its a tad unstable and buggy. However, I have not been able to find any roms like it thus far. Carbon ROM seemed like it may have potential, but again I could not find a KitKat variant for my S5.
So I am asking the community. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a light weight, clean, stable and smooth KitKat 4.4.x ROM that has similar features to LS and/or Slimkat?
I am still continuing my search. Hoping some one here has some suggestions that I could give a try.
P.S. Sorry if this has been asked already. I'm looking in XDA but haven't found any threads related to my question. If there is one, my bad. Still looking through the forum...
Thanks as always!
Hi all,
I'm new on the S4.. I currently use the optimized CM version based on 5.1.1 but I'm not happy with it.. Too many bugs.. I just want to ask you which is currently the best stable rom for my device.. Of course I know that Marshmallow isn't stable.. So I'm looking for a good 5.X rom..
Thanks!
[jflte] gpe 5.0
Does it have a good battery drain? I don't find anything about it in the thread ..
I'm using AOSP 6.0.1 from JDCTeam and I'm absolutely happy with it. I never had any problem with it. Before I used various 5.x ROMS and had problems over problems.
Hope I could help you (even if it's not 5.x)
Both CM 12.1 snapshot and current CM13 nightly are quite stable. So if your phone has bugs running these ROMs, chances are you did something wrong or it is hardware problem.
Optimised CM by JDC is a great rom but since there are too many tweaks / mods in this rom, stability is quite subjective. If you want stable rom, go for stock CM.

The link provided by 3mel is correct. That's the ROM I'm currently using.
