Tell me what you are running the pros and cons and tell me if you suggest it
I am now running on AOPK 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577191
With unolocked bootloader
Rooted (rom has su binary preinstalled)
On Doomkernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345567
I would like a 4.4 rom
Unlocked or locked bootloader
Root access of course
And preferably running with doomkernel
Thank you.

i have a SP with UBL and i flashed Vanir AOSP rom since January 6 with "in-rom" kernel. Recently i flashed NayakKernel v0.3.
its fast, good battery drain, and very stable for daily use. Have a little bugs like others KitKat roms but is the most suitable for my daily use.
Try and then tell us what you think

VanirAOSP rom is really fast, and has great battery life.
I have no crashes or FC. since I installed it, the only problem I had was that the screen became totally unresponsive and I had to do a reset. But just one time…
Sometimes the screen does not respond to touch if it is in a horizontal position on the table, and i need to pick it up ...but I think it is a SP bug and not a ROM bug…. Or not!?
I charge the battery overnight (100%), i make and receive calls and sms, read the news, personal and corporate email, check the XDA forum many times :laugh::laugh::laugh:, facebook, Google +, 3 or 4 lightweight games (almost never play), some youtube videos for my baby, do not usually listen music, and have google location disabled. Usually I end the day with 40-50% of battery,
Is always connected to the internet. At home and at work have WIFI always on. If WIFI is OFF, 3G is connected.
For my daily use, this is the best kitkat based rom for xperia SP, with a very good performance and lite features. I'm very happy and satisfied with this ROM, and i'm waiting the new version (and changelog) to update.
Thanks to Whitemamba for the great job. :good:

Thank you i will give it a try

stay on stock if u want good battery life.
if u really want a lollipop rom that badly go for the rom from danvdh.
custom roms are useless. it's only for people with too much time.
install stock rom, root it, debloat it and if u want custom rom features just install xposed.
no need for any custom roms because they are always worse if it gets to battery life.
if u say otherwise u have no idea ... it's ok if u have fun flashing roms all day and like to try that and that but don't say it works perfectly fine and especially that the battery life is as same as good or even better (i lol everytime i read this in a custom rom thread)

Try phoenix rom 10.2, or Albe rom. Both excellent

cm 12 by antaresone best rom

[Q] Light and Battery Friendly rom ?

To cut it short, I am not that fancy user who loves tons of extras .. I love double tap to wake thingy " have that on hells kernel"
I want a Custom ROM that could possibly add to the battery time more than original rom Rooted .. any clue?

Frank, Rastapop are great LP and optimised Roms.
Both work fine with Hell kernel .

Purity+Semaphore

As you can see, a ROM doesn't really make a difference in battery life. It's all about combinations and settings (ROM and kernel level).
Some combinations that have really been working well for me are Terminus+Nash, Euphoria+Hellsdoctor, Boostpop+Unleashed...

Need suggestions for best rom for s4 i9500

Hey guys, I am really fed up with the bugs and issues in stock 5.0.1 of s4 i9500 edition. Snapchat force closes every now and then, chrome crashes , wallpaper gets auto changed and so on.
I would like to know which would be the best rom that I can install which can be used a daily driver, I want to install it once and use it tension-free. Can you guys suggest which ones do you use as your daily driver, which gives the best performance and maximum battery life and should be based on lollipop 5.1
I am not really into changing roms so I would like this one to bug free and stable, I do not need any additional features.
Thanks!!

The best ROM is subjective, in that everyone's opinions are going to differ. The only way you're going to know which ROM is best for you is trying them out.

Thanks for your reply. I actually wanted everyone's opinion so that I can know which ones are very stable and working great for them and then I can go ahead and try them and select the one out of them that works best for me

Euphoria rom is best as if i think so....
But if u want to use samsung apps, airview, air gestures halcyon rom would be nice
For better battery backup go for stock rom which is somewhat stable now.

Aurora is the best
All air functions work fine and some of the note features are there and in adition very stable
after many roms tests

Been using Aurora V2 - crashed yesterday while in a call. A big NO for me, but otherwise the rom was more than satisfactory overall. I have automatic call record enabled, so could've been that... not sure.
Wanna try Halcyon next...

For me,
AOSP-based ROM: GearCM and everything based on that ROM
TW-based ROM: Doctor's S6 port/Halcyon/MBP with VoLTaqe Kernel
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD

My vote is for darklord...

AOSP : Gear CM, Resurrection Remix and Euphoria
T.W. : Aurora S6/S6E V3.0, Dark Lord and Halycon.
Kernal : VoLTaqe Kernel and Light-Weight-Kernel.
Doctor's Rom is also good but somehow didn't work good for me.
**Happy to Help**

Cyanogenmod. Very stable and fast.

Uptill now, am on stock rom, which has been stable . However, waiting for CM 13, as Android 6 is not going to come for s4. Problem for i9500 which has exynos chip and as yet unreleased source code, CM 13 will be delayed. Just released cm 13 for snapdragon i9505. Running CM 12.1s in i9300, s3 for the past year. Very stable.

Is there any rom that has everything working (nfc, wifi etc)

So is there any rom (I think stock based would be my best bet) that has no important bugs? Or should I just flash a custom kernel on a stock firmware?

No there is no such perfect custom rom due to some technical limitations.

Try stable ROMS, there is more probability you find everything working there. I suggest you Resurrection Remix for personalization and CM 12.1 for stability. Btw is your choice, choose the one suits you best.

as you said the stock based is your best bet but for me i use s5 mini rom it has everything working exept NFC because s5 mini does not have that feature

This rom has probably less bugs than the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102

Best is cm11 with sev3n kernel. 6h of screen good camera(cm12 is a joke), radio and everything. No bugs no lags and finally a decent phone. If you want lollipop flavour install cm11 ideal theme from store. It looks the same. After trying almost everything it,s my choice.

Offline chaning work? Battery idle 7 day work? Thank you.
(SORRY BAD MY ENGLISH 50%)

Yes offline charging works and in cm12 also works. Only cm12.1 has that bug. Try kang cm 12.1 after flashing perharps 10 roms is now my favourite . Well i miss cm11 Camera but you can't have everything, i'm a little tired of KitKat and since yesterday we hace a good lollipop ROM with a good tweaked kernel and almost free of bugs.

I am using stock firmware 4.4.2 with xposed and some modifications. It is good and now i am going to try any custom kernel. For me, custom roms are useless especially those CM based.
