Is custom ANDROID 4.3 rom really smoother versus stock rom? it doesnt have the lags/stuttering that stock rom has?
I've D802 International...
Thanks!
It's strange, I have the VS980 Model (Verizon) of the LG G2 and stock had zero issues with "stuttering". I installed clean rom, no stuttering, and I am running an AOSP version now and again no stuttering...
Are you sure you don't have something installed that might be causing the issues you describe? Maybe factory reset, choose not to restore from google, and run it for a few days and see what's up.
This is by far and away the fastest, smoothest phone I've ever owned. S3 -> Note 2 -> S4, etc.
no stuttering/lag here on d802uk
Hi,
Because we all have diffrent opninion about our Sony Xperia SP I would like to do a very small reseach.
With this very easy poll I just want the next question answered:
Are you running official 4.1.2 or 4.3.x?
If you are running a custom ROM (CM, PA or even stockbased) answer Custom ROM..
If you have answerd the question please let me know in a comment:
Tell which one you have chosen (perhaps even the build number of the version you run) and wheter you are happy with it or not!
Thanks!
OP will kickoff:
I have chosen for Stock Sony 4.3.x. I am not that happy with it because it still has a few bugs. I do however am happy because Sony finnaly took the time to update it after delay and more delay. Now we are just waiting for KitKat.
I still choose 4.3 because camera feature and others.
205 fw
I'm running 4.3, without much talk it's just the best choice right now since many bugs have been fixed and it does come with some pretty nice features
I'm in 4.3.... every OS have bugs, but at least with 4.3 you have more features here and there and thats why is better that stay in a old OS version
Also last update just let me little visual bugs (install app bar), GPS (not the big deal) and Wifi (well Wifi range sucks since 4.1)
I am on stock 4.3,and i am happy!
Nearly all bugs are fixed,only ram is failing in some moments
Happy with stock 4.3 latest fw, much better than previous updates. No lag here, so its good for me after all those laggy updates.
I had lag issues with all versions of the stock ROM I've tried. After testing a whole bunch of custom ROMs I've settled on CM 10.1. While it is not exactly cutting edge, it has been out of active development for many months, it is rock solid and stable.
I use stock 4.3 as camera is important to me. I found PA 4.4.4 to be the fastest rom for me, but I want to be able to control ISO manually on my camera. I tried various versions of 4.3 and decided to stick with my carrier version (O2 UK). Once towel rooted and debloated I find it to be very fast and stable. More so than the various deodex stock roms on the forum.
Yea I am also on the .205 4.3 firmware, I am UK customised, one of the last to get it but it is good. I fixed the uninstall glitch with a fixed package installer apk, only issue I have experienced is battery drain due to location services and lower ram (compared with 4.1.2).
I'm using 4.3, with eXistenZ Ultra. Couldn't be happier [emoji1]
Stock 4.1.2 is the best
I'm using stock 4.1.2 with swap on stock kernel
Was on latest stock every time a new firmware was released, then switched to eXistenZ when it seemed like we'd never have KK, but I've never been deceived with either stock firmware or eXistenZ, both have always been very fast and I've never experienced any lag or disconfort on this phone.
EXistenZ is perfect. 4.3 is better than 4.1 imho

I personally favours CM 11 because of a few flaws present in the stock ROM. Not to be lying, I really like Sony's UI (framework-res.apk) and some aspects of the stock ROM. As per to my experience, the stock ROM is not that heavily modified as I can somehow use some things that are meant for AOSP-based ROMs, which is a huge plus for me. However, when it comes to support and RAM, it fails to meet my requirement, and that is what forced me to use CM.

Nope, I can assure you, maybe I've just been lucky but all of the bugs and lags that have been blamed on it ? I've never had them. The only bad point for me is the pretty average camera.
I'm on stock 4.3 (.205 fw). Best I've experience by far, both feature-wise and usability. RAm management could be better though.
So basically, I've been going back and forth between different custom ROMs the last months but I've never found something that's really stable.
Either there's random reboots, lag or apps force closing.
So what I'm wondering is; does anyone have experience with a custom ROM that's rock solid stable? It has to be Lollipop, but I'd give up 5.1 for a really stable 5.0 ROM.
Oh, and please don't suggest LG stock ROM, I can't stand that.
I really appreciate some answers! Make sure to write what ROM you're using and the release number (or date if it's a nightly).
Thanks!

Anything CAF as it's using the same device source. Aside from that pick your flavor.
Also no 5.0 roms are stable for this device, unless you mean stock. But you mentioned you didn't want stock, so...
Have you tried Euphoria-OS? It's pretty darned stable, and it's 5.1 as well. You can get the official version by tsunamical that uses a CAF kernel (Qualcomm+CM), or the unofficial version from dr87 that uses the stock LG G2 LP kernel.
I've been running the official 6/10 build for a few weeks now and it's been really stable. A couple of random reboots but nothing to worry about. I would be running the newer build, but I dirty-flashed it and it went a little wonky so I restored the nandroid, and then tsunamical said he was going to post another one in a few days, so I decided to wait for that before doing another clean flash.

Hi
I am fed of the official google rom that came after Lollipop. All of these were terribly slow on my Nexus 7 (2012). Then I decided to install custom ROMs for the first time. I installed CM 12.1 and it was no different that the stock rom. Terribly slow.
So I am not sure, if any lollipop would ever be better as I haven't tried any other custom ROMs.
Canany experienced users here suggest one stable, fast and smooth ROM from either Lollipop or KitKat please and with a link to that thread please.
thanks

I have found all the lollipop roms to be laggy,although some of the newer ones are getting better. But nothing compares to something like this:

I am running this and it has the stagefright fixes.
Thanks Hemsworth! very helpful!
I just downloaded the slimkat but have not tried it yet. Have you?
However I will try yours first.
Hello,
I am handing over my Nexus 4 to the wife to use. It is unlocked, with twrp ready and running.
Can someone advise on the latest flashable stock rom, anything that is bells and whistles free, stable and with best battery life.
Any rom is fine, Lollipop probably is the best owing to stability. Like I said, not bothered about added goodies so long as the Nexus 4 runs well. Or else I'll be nagged to death!!
Thanks.
Fake Nexus ROM Marshmallow version?
