Fast / Stable ROM until main phone recovered from repair? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I had to RMA my OnePlus 3, so I have to stick with my old-knight GS4 for a week or two. Could anyone recommend me a ROM, which would be smooth and especially stable? Currently running Lollirom 9.0. Also, are GPE based roms still considered fast and stable?

Nougat ROMs seem faster than anything else. General experience-wise.

There are too many factors that affect battery life. So it's subjective.

Last Beanstalk (Android 6) or latest Resurrection Remix (Android 7.1) / Octo N are the 3 ROMS i can recommend. Had the Beanstalk for months as daily and it was fast,stable and had very good battery life. RR & OCTO N in case you want something more recent

Galaxy S4 i9505 Stable&Battery Friendly ROM

Hello guys! I have decided to ask for your help as I ran into a bump. I have been flashing a lot of ROMs lately but I can't find something that suits me. I am looking for a rom that is near to bugless, has a great battery life and can be customized a bit. I don't really like TW roms because of the way they look. I am currently running Resurrection Remix v5.6.2 but I encounter some bugs, so it's not for me.
Could you suggest me something good, please? Either KitKat, Lollipop or Marshmallow (if there is one).
Or, if it's not really that battery friendly, one that charges pretty fast. I am tired of waiting 3 hours for my battery to be full
As far as battery life goes, I think Touchwhiz is the best. It can be customized with Xposed.
In terms of charging speed, Lollipop seems to be faster than Marshmallow.
Try the GPE roms. One is untouched, meaning it has no root or modifications.
Hello, I installed Untouched GPE and have been using it for the last 2 days. It's a stable and snappy rom, only has some few minor bugs. But the charging is soooo slow, and the battery life isn't too good either. Any suggestions on a stable ROM that's not touchwiz based and performs well, with good battery life or charges very fast?
Hello guys, I have one more request from you: please name all the ROMs that you know for S4 that are bugless and very stable, regardless of the android version: kitkat, lollipop, marshmallow etc. Thanks!

A bugless rom does not exist. Stock or custom all have some bugs. Almost all roms out there are stable.
And the battery life is just bad on the s4. Not much you can do about that.
One important thing you should know about roms is that, if a rom works perfectly fine for me, for you it might not work as good.
For me, every rom worked perfectly fine, while for other users, the same rom, wasn't stable.

[Q] Seeking specific rom

Hello
I've dug my old N4 for some use while my current device is in for a repair. Been a few years since I last used it. Madhi rom was the last one I flashed, oh yeah the good old days.
Can anyone suggest a stable and battery consistent rom that has status bar tweaks that allow the battery icon colour to be changed (or the icons individually)? I'd prefer Lollipop which is probably the most stable as I'd be using this as a daily driver and not looking for FCs every now and then!
Also would like the latest CM theme engine with the rom.
Resurrection Remix on my HTC fitted the bill, but does the N4 version have the same features, and the N4 version I found is Marshmallow based.
Apologies, I know these type of threads are not popular
Cm 12.1 is available for n4

Have Nougat roms stabilised enough to be useful as daily drivers without too many crashes? I appreciate the N4 is an antique these days and we're lucky enough to have Marshmallow, let alone Nougat!
Had a feeling battery would be poor on Nougat roms compared to Lollipop or even Kitkat? Thanks,
Nitrogen os rom is very stable best nougat rom chroma is best for marshmallow and I like cm12.1 for lollipop personally
Thanks for that, would you say they all offer similar battery life?
Yes I would say that

ROM recommendations?

So, I'm about to root and install a custom ROM on my girlfriend's S7E, mainly because of the recent problem with Oreo and Instagram as seen here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/instagram-stories-oreo-t3804945. So I'm looking for stable Nougat ROMs that favor battery life over features, like AOSP or Nexus based ROMs. I have some experience in rooting and installing custom ROMs in android devices, but it has been around two years since I last messed around with it. Any useful pointers that you think are important?
Most stable Nougat was the Superman Rom for me. No problems over all and nice Battery life.

The most stable ROM is going to be the latest stock ROM.

The OP was looking for the most stable ROM which is why I recommended stock. I stick to stock ROMs these days because they work for my needs.
A custom ROM that is best for one person is not always the best for another person.
I'm curious as to which Note 3 you have. I'm in Canada and we have the sm-n900w8. Thanks.

On Note 3 N9005 as asked ???
Lineage 15.1, it's amazing. I used to be on Stock 5.0, then i moved to 6.0.1 Marshmallow Touchwiz Port then i moved to Lineage 15.1 oreo 8.1. The difference is huge. Battery life increased massively, better performance and also everything looks super nice

I also have Sm-n900w8. You can try it by yourself and you'll see that Havoc os is great in battery life, stability and features. It comes with a lot of features.

I haven't used my note 3 for a while and it's my back up phone. I'm using an iPhone 6s at the moment.

best rom and kernel combo

Just bought my mi a2. Have to say its buttery smooth but as history says, i never stick to the stock software for more than a week. As there is no objecticely best kernel and/or rom out there, what i want to know is the most popular configuration being used for this phone. What kernel and rom are yall using and how well does it hold up in terms of battery life and performance?
Also how many of you have tried the new pie resurrection remix? Is it worth trying right now?
Havoc stock

Hex kernel + pixel experience
And resurrection remix has a pure stock look that kind of bothers me. I've also heard of some other problems on the ROM thread.
Havoc + Hex
