Not to take away all the hard work computerfreek and the other devs have done though...thank you as well!
Personally, I've found that RR is not as stable or as smooth as stock. I've had quite a few issues with both the 11/27 and 11/29 builds. Going to flash CM12.1 to see if it's any different.
EDIT: CM12.1 seems to be running much more smoothly right now. I don't know why, but as long as it stays like this I'll be sticking with CyanogenMod.

Both Resurrection Remix and CM 12.1 are stable and smooth. There's 1000 - 1 opinions in favor of those ROMs. I think any issues you have stemmed from your own actions:

I ask because I was trying to format /system and /data as f2fs and /system reverted to ext4. It doesn't really matter too much though. I have /data as f2fs and that's enough for me.

And the Resurrection dev told you so...
baybutcher27 said:
way set system as f2fs it is ext4 by default? and the kernel has noting to do with TWRP, probably the ROM that you use set it as ext4 because it ROM flash format's the system and thanks to the scrip or TWRP it set the partition the right way.
If you face any bug after what you are doing don't report as a bug please.

Now you are dissing the ROM when you messed it up.
However, if you want to make either ROM EVEN smoother, I suggest Nova Launcher and using these settings in Developer Options:

First of all, changing animation time will not change the actual smoothness or speed of the device. I used 1x animation speed and changing it won't make any difference anyway. That suggestion doesn't make sense. Second, I shouldn't have to to force GPU rendering and sacrifice battery life to achieve performance I got on stock without enabling that option.
Third, my performance issues are not due to using f2fs. F2fs is faster than ext4 anyway in most cases, but just in case I reverted to ext4, and did a full wipe & reflash yesterday. I still experience worse performance and stability than stock. Perhaps there is something weird about my device. I will add more details once I've had a chance to try CM12.1.
Finally, I am not trying to say that the ROM is low quality or that the developer did not do a good job. I understand that this is simply what one needs to deal with when using with custom ROMs, especially for such an obscure device. I respect the devs' dedication but would also like to do whatever I can to make my device more usable.

What was stupid about it? And how on earth am I going to brick my phone by flashing ROMs and changing the filesystem type? That doesn't even make sense.
Let's see... changing the file type even tho the developer advised against it and he wouldn't advise u if u incurred any bugs or problems... Pretty stupid... Its completely possible to brick your phone by doing things like that

No...it's not. Worst case scenario, it doesn't boot, so I go into TWRP, revert to ext4, and reflash the ROM.

So? I changed it, it worked, and I reverted because I didn't see any difference. It 100% cannot cause irreversible damage. The worst that can happen is that I'll have to reflash and lose my data. It didn't cause any bugs or problems and I didn't ask the developer for any help. Whatever my performance issues were caused by, it wasn't switching to f2fs. I had the same problems with ext4 and I'm now running CM12.1 with none of the issues I encountered on Resurrection Remix. And like I said before, I don't blame the dev for any of the problems I had. It's clearly isolated to my case, so something weird must have happened. Oh well. It's stable and smooth now, though not quite as nice as stock, so it doesn't particularly interest me what went wrong before.
He is correct, it wouldn't make a difference that could damage his phone.
And for the record very very seldom is a cm based ROM smoother than stock.
You have to remember they pay entire teams with ALL the pertinent data to make the "stock" ROM. Often for speed battery and smoothness you have to stay on a stock base.
That said, I'm loving cm12.1. And I do not see reason to ever go back.

I agree. This RR rom is incredible. I also use it on my Nexus 5. I love this rom! Thank you for this thread OP and thank you RR rom developer!
I was wondering anybody having the issues with hands free Bluetooth audio with RR like CM12.1 ?
I was unable to hear the person and the person was unable to hear me on CM12.1.
Please let me know as I am eager to try this.

Not here. I was running RR, but due to local hands-free ordinances being passed (namely in San Antonio and New Braunfels) I had to switch back to stock...no hands-free is a non-starter down here in South Texas. It's a shame, because I love everything else about RR. Definitely not blaming @baybutcher27, it seems to be more of a CM12.1 bug, since I had the same issues running straight CM.

It's certain devices that have bluetooth issues. My Jawbone Icon headset and Pioneer stereo connect fine with Bluetooth. I use them daily. Both CM and RR devs would appreciate logs of any bluetooth problems.

Awesome, you have made a rom for my 2nd favorite toy! Running 1.2x (rev3 ) on my Evo. I'll download, flash, test and report when I get back home where my G-Tab is.
Couple questions though:
Is hardware acceleration implemented?
What launcher are you using?
Is the full Market avaialble?
Any known issues?
I'm currently running Calc's 1.1 rom and it's pretty snappy.
Thanks for doing this!
My favorite ROM for my evo is now available for my gtab? I love it! I'm going to have to try this out soon. One question, though; does video chat in google talk work in this? I know in your build for the evo, you have to flash an additional file to get it to work, but I don't see an equivalent file here.
dumb question, how do I know what bootloader I have? I suspect its 1.1 as I rooted a couple months ago and loaded up a Tom then

Can anyone tell me if you can open up Gps apps besides google maps.
Like gps status or gps toolbox. both free on market. or even other nav stuff like ndrive or copilot.
Has anyone had issues yet.
any screens or video review of this?
so you said its based on 1.1 bootloader, then whats with the 1.2x thing? is that just a version number of this rom?
quick review
recovery installation:
went smooth. decent time. gapps installed no prob. on a 1.1 bootloader.
bootanimation:
Not present. Stock flashing android
First boot:
VERY fast. Got google login at begining
Wifi:
Found signals fast, connected to my device. so far no drops.
3rd party apps:
superuser. spare parts.dsp manager. so all stock cm 3rd party apps.
Launcher: Stock gb
Camera.eh. works for a .3 cam
Sd card: Does not find partion as sd card.
Icons/UI:
Wallpapers is cm. THe pull down notification is soild.
THe status bar is nice and big. friendly home menu and back buttons.
Overall. Seems to me like stock cm7. Dont see whats unique about this rom.
Could i get more info from dev to let know whats so different.
If dev can continue support on this then i can choose this.
SO all issues cm7 has, this has. dsp doesnt work. gps apps dont work.
GPS APPS DO NOT WORK AT ALL!!!!!
Not sure why any GPS apps would work since there is no GPS chip in the device. Having said that, I never tried any.....

Yeah, it's just the version number. Deck started this ROM for the evo, but has started making builds for other devices. It's just the convention he's been following with the builds for the other devices. The first stable release was 1.0; 1.1 was a short lived beta, then all of the betas since have been 1.2 followed by a letter. He's gone through all of the letters of the alphabet up to x so far, which is why this version is called 1.2x.

well i need this tablet to work with gps roms. i have to to tether it to my phone.
I said gps apps because nav apps use gps location. This tablet goes in my car and so far. havent found a non tnt rom that works with gps apps.
Just because there is no gps chip doesnt mean the app shouldnt work. I can tether to my phone to use mock location and get the gps location from my phone.
so thats why i mentioned this much
good q though
btw i updated your rom banner. Since this isnt the evo.
Btw you should change your first post to say tablet and not phone.

Loaded flawlessly, only problem mounts SD card as Emmc which plays bad with other apps

thanks for all the input. i will do my best to get this up to par with my evo roms i.e. everything working, + battery life, and + performance. This was my very first build for the gtab, so this was basically a base to see where needs fixing. i should have a gtab in my hands very soon as well, which will make development even quicker. My issue tracker is the best place to file issues, as i tend to them very promptly. Thanks again everybody, and stay tuned...

quick summary quoted from my other thread...
"Hey all. Been a while since my last release of anything, which was sense based, but I really wanted to start learning android and have a better perspective of it. I decided to dig a bit more into compiling android. Started horsing around with github and learned to start compiling my own builds from aosp wih the help from cmsrc, evervolv, and a few others githubs. Since the release of gingerbread to aosp, i moved away from sense. There are things that i do miss about sense, but the usability of the phone without it is just unmatched imho. Many people use or have used cyanogenmod. IMHO is a great open source project that has some of the best devs out there. I have always been more into the 'vanilla' look opposed to the themed and aftermarket. Recently i have been compiling gingerbread for the evo and mt4g and have had nothing but the best reviews. Basically the reason why i am here. Wondering if there was any interest in a few of my builds. Main reason from moving away from CM6/7 (cyanogenmod), ADW launcher and the extra added bloat(sorry) and themes. Battery life will always be one of my main concerns. Everything should work!"
Even deeper then that, alot of packages are pure aosp, I have many fixes to my roms that are not in cmsrc, and lots more. youll get to know me i am a perfectionist Hope this helps

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
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.

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!
As we all know, the Galaxy Note was recently added for official MIUI support. MIUI China is working towards a first public build. Contrary to popular belief, MIUI v4 is based on the Stock ROMs rather than CyanogenMod 9. So, almost everything should be working flawless from the start -- as it was supposed to be. All in all, we can look forward to the looks of MIUI and the functionality of Stock ROMs.
According to the latest polls, 4x5 icon layout has been chosen as the default which is rather perfect for the Note's large screen. Here's the screenshot from the tweet...

What's interesting to note is the S Memo icon! Although, that was expected since MIUI is based on stock Sammy ROMs, yet it's nice to have a "confirmation".
We'll also have the emmc bug then...
Though I won't be able to go to another ROM that doens't have per app DPI/Layout ever again...
what does it say about the emmc brickbug? will they have MMC_CAP_ERASE removed for safety?
also I guess that this means MIUI4 can no longer be considered AOSP ,since it's using TW as abase.
should be interesting though ,keep us posted please
Guess they are using lq2 base with rooted cf kernel.
but we can flash franco kernel etc. id wait for miui scotlands version of the official rom as they make it really better for samsung devices
^^ Exactly! I suppose we would be able to flash SpeedMod/Franco Kernel. So, we'll be safe from the eMMC bug to a certain extent -- of course, if we follow the instructions.
I'm excited because we get to retain all the stock goodness! I'm using PA myself and it'll be rather hard to switch to any other ROM. However, I'm a long time fan of MIUI and will definitely switch once it's available in all it's goodness.
Also, the MIUI theme contest which is going on right now should give us some great themes, which is lacking ATM.
love how they're asking the community what they want in the rom; how it should be done. only weak link is samsung, how a multi-million dollar company is out-shined by the dev community never ceases to amuse me xD.

I don't think fb is the best place to get feedback. End users don't necessarily understand the concepts of developing or porting a ROM. Will try and push this thread to them, once it picks up activity.

of course we can flash a safe kernel ,but it would be nice if they released their own optimized safe kernel to begin with.
and yes I also think it would be interesting to see MIUI4 based on TW ,hopefully it won't have lagging or memory management issues like official ICS does.

Don't expect much in the Kernel department. Everybody always switches MIUI Kernels ASAP mostly because they're not optimized for performance/battery. They're mostly just optimized to run.

oh ,I didn't know that ,your MIUI V4 port was the first (brief) encounter with MIUI for me.
and since it was based on cm9 kernel it was actually very smooth.
here is hoping the real MIUI port is at least just as good

The official port should have a butter-smooth launcher just like MiHome for ICS.

seeing that you are a long tie MIUI fan ,may I ask you what's so good about it?
when I tested your port the positive side was a feel of elegance ,and total customization even more than CM9.
the bad side however was the iOS look of the launcher which I hate so much,and the lack of an app drawer.
luckily the launcher can be easily replaced ,and since this is based on TW ,I can switch to it to retain full functionality ,while (hopefully) not draining all my RAM like the official sammy ROMs does.
so care to enlighten me to more positive points of this popular ROM ,ones that I won't find in CM9 (beside the TW functionality obviously).
thank you
Even I hate the fact that the launcher doesn't have an app drawer but there is an app for that -- MIUI Control -- it gives you a pull down app-drawer.
The best thing about MIUI is the fact that you can theme pretty much every aspect of the ROM with a click of a button. That's not the case with CM9. There aren't many themes for MIUI v4 as of now, however that will change in the near future.
Also, with MIUI you have the option to apply individual elements of different themes -- and then combine them into one theme file. That alone makes it the best ROM for theming.

exactly ,that pretty much sums what I know about MIUI from my ~1 hour trial with it
good to know that there is an app drawer ,can't stand a combined view of apps and widgets.

I've already ask them about the removing of the emmc-bug in their kernel here and on their "what device should get miui next?" poll. Without any answer.

I have been using MIUI for more than a year on my HD2, which I have sold to get Galaxy Note. I can tell you that the nicest thing about MIUI roms is the notification bar on top. I don't understand why all ROMs don't have this notification / control panel that MIUI has.
No more widgets to turn on bluetooth, wifi or toggle between 2g and 3g to save battery. You just pull down the curtain, and switch everything on or off easily. So this is what I miss most on other ROMs.
The rest, its a very fast and smooth mobile OS. Simple to use, lots of themes and frequent updates with new features and bug fixes.
Not sure how well it will handle the S Pen, as this is one of the features that separate G.Note from the rest of the competition, but if they manage to get everything working well, I am sure that it will be a great success.
^^ Agreed. The main thing I like about MIUI is that it is a complete experience right off the bat. You get...
1. File Explorer
2. Backup
3. Monitor
4. Blacklist
...and so much more! Of course you can install all these separately for other ROMs but it's nice to know that they're all packaged with MIUI.
And yes, it would be great if they manage to retain all the S-Pen functionality. With custom ROMs we lose this functionality which then makes our phone like any other. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some PA/CM9/AOKP goodness, but then my phone doesn't feel any different from the S2 I had.

well the Spen still works in CM9 ,just without the Snote app ,have you tried installing photoshop touch? you get absolute control with the pen .
did you know that hovering the pen gives you a mouse cursor in CM9 ,while touching it will register a click ,just like a desktop PC .
but of course it will be nice tom have MIUI with all TW functionality ,IF they keep the performance a priority
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In theory yes. Lollipop was my last official LG build and I've not had any issues.

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.
