Which is the most stable Jelly Bean Rom any idea?

Hello guys,
I have recently moved on to official ICS but I heard JB is far more smoother than ICS. I can see there are number of JB custom roms available through the superb effort of our developers. Thing is I am kind of confuse which way to go. In JB I am looking for a stable completly working ROM, which I can rely to use on daily basis for long term.
Some suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers.

I'm not sure if you could say it's fully working, but I know plenty of people here are using Andromedus as a daily ROM. I think there's a new build coming out soon, but read the thread to find what people are having best success with.
bnd just ported yet another JB ROM over too. Best way is just to try some out. Personally, I love JB but I went back to ICS (the ICE_DS ROM) because I've had a lot of sound issues with Andromedus in all the builds I've tried.
Hope that helps!

I think the best is just to try a few. As you can see in their threads and changelogs every rom still has its limitations. also check out www.blindndumb.com for some awesome (jb and ics) roms for our device

Thanks guys for advices n link. I for sure read lot more n may be try couple of JB roms as well before I stick to one. May be better to do little more research n wait. I hope recently released ics source could facilitate few things for developers. Finger crossed
Cheers.

I use Blindbean for now (not the new one available now) and I like it.
Since I use Jellybean, I don't wanna go back to GB or ICS, to much of a difference.
I mainly make phonecalls and use internet, so I don't really care about camera, pictures, games, music, ...
And for now, it holds up to my expectations. There are off-course some bugs, but for a phone that's that old already, I can deal with that.
(hell, I bought a Xperia U, because the stock HTC desireS was giving up on me, so when I got the Xperia, I could begin to experiment with root/roms and stuff, and now, the newer xperia is on the closet, and I use the HTC again (spec-wise, the desireS and xperia U aren't that different.)

I used to have BlindICE in its latest edition with which I was satisfied, but I've changed to JB with Codename Android and recently JellyTime, both from blindndumb. They are so smooth, I really can't come back either. But I'm also a bit lost concerning the differences between all of these JB roms. From what I saw, none of the 2 were really stable. In Jellytime, video playback can be glitchy, pictures have a green/purple line at the bottom and browsing with chrome shows weird artefacts. Other than that, they work fine. What changes visually in AOKP and CM10 are the ROM menus.

so what do you think which one looks better CM10 or AOKP?

Try both, it's a personal choice
As you can see I am on Androdamus, which is cm10
Tapatalked from Desire S running Androdamus

I run JellyTime R15 as daily, no bugs that are important to the grand scheme of things.

A few weeks ago I tested Andromedus and the latest CM10, and they didn't have FM radio tuner. I listen to the radio almost everyday, so FM radio support is kind of important. This is mostly the reason why I'm still not using Jelly Bean. That and some other little things I enjoy and didn't find, like "render effect", automatic screen brightness control, launcher settings...
I'm kind of new to the ROM flashing scene... Is FM radio one of the last things to become functional on a ROM? Do any of the other ROMs have working FM? I guess it's not a very high-priority item.
I guess I could try to setup a script to automatically download the radio show I listen to, after it's available on the radio station website, then send it to dropbox or something.
I'm usually a very patient guy, waiting for a final release, but it's becoming harder and harder to wait.
edit: By the way, I'm using CM7.2 now

As long as the camera doesn't work I won't use JB Roms.

Should not try Jelly Bean now for Desire S since it is not so stable.
If you want to use the stable ROM, please use this one. I already installed for 4 weeks and it is awesome. But this one is just Android 4.0.4, HT sense 3.6.

Well I've recently swapped to BnD Jelly time and I'm impressed. I've been using Niks CM10 for months and decided to try a kernel 3 ROM. I can't see myself swapping again as Jelly time seems the better daily driver IMO.

I also want to try this Jelly Time but just being cautious, are there any particular bugs you can tell or anything about this Rom or it also has Google Now in it right?!!

Camera works fine in Jelly Time, works perfectly if you download JB Camera+ app.

I personally use CM10 with my Galaxy Mini. Everything works perfectly, but seems there is a problem with the native tethering of both type. 3rs party software solved the problem.

Yes it has everything, including now. The small bugs I've noticed are the brightness sensor is a little laggy, takes a little longer to correct it self to ambient light. Chrome sometimes gets a little buggy, Netflix isnt perfect, front camera doesn't work, video recording is broken and I'm sure there are other small issues I've yet to notice.
None of the above is a deal breaker for me, as we have an increasingly unpopular phone we will always have to expect some issues as a price to pay for the latest os versions.

do we have cm10 for Desire S also?

Hi,
Read the [OP] of each one.
Better still,make a nandroid backup of your current ROM,and flash the ROM you are inquiring about.
You are the only one who can judge how good a ROM is.

I'm with you...

CyanogenMod 10 is undergoing rapid changes, sometimes newer builds break some function in older builds (e.g. mms). Hard to make conclusion based on that. Imo if you want stability, use ViperS as daily driver. Make nandroid backups of your ViperS before installing CM10, of course.

Matter of Personal Preference!
As our friend malybru said, you have to flash both ROMs then decide for yourself. I have flashed and tested many ROMs myself. Gotta admit it's a matter of personal preference after all.
I come from ARHD. Now I'm using bruce's CM10 Android 4.1.2 latest build (October 27, 2012). This "IS" by far the fastest, most complete, most advanced Custom ROM I have ever used. WIth V6 Supercharger and latest version of GApps, It's amazing how everything works perfect with this ROM.
As you already know, CM10 is an AOSP Based ROM, where m0narx's ViperS is Sense Based.
VipersS uses Android 4.0.3 ICS as it's core system + Sense UI 4.1. This is an amazing Sense Based ROM.
CM10 uses Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and it's PURE Android. IMO this one is more advanced and it's faster + I love AOSP UI.
Both ROMs get updates now and then, but again remember that CM10 is under ongoing development. So speaking of "Daily Driver" this might not be a wise choice, unless you like to test and experience.
Both ROMs are rooted and highly customizable. Flash both of them and you'll know.

Reasons to consider Cyanogenmod for Xperia Tipo

REASONS TO CONSIDER CYANOGENMOD ON XPERIA TIPO
NB: I AM WRITING THIS IN ORDER TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT USING A CUSTOM ROM FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Well, it has been a few weeks I have played with 3 most promising ROMs for Tipo - Cyanogenmod, AOKP& Z-Fusion.
All of them were better than the stock ROM provided by Sony. Out of the 3, CM was was the most stable(atleast for my phone).
AOKP offered more control over the ROM but it froze more often in tipo. Z-Fusion was visually good(very good job done with the interface) but it lacked some controls offered by CM.
Now one can ask, why CM? Whats wrong with the beautiful firmware by Sony?
Well, there is nothing wrong with the official firmware but it is a heavy burden on the memory. The UI is eye-catching but it takes a lot of memory for the tiniest details, whereas CM has a simple and neat UI( the Trebuchet Launcher, gotta love it!!!) which is very lightweight and fast and responsive. The control over the behaviour of the ROM is what appeals the most. Starting from the lockscreen to its CPU, everything under your control. Lots of customization option available for the user.
The best thing about Cyanogenmod is that the in built apps are very memory friendly. In tipo, after a fresh and clean installation you get about 600 mb of phone memory. The original firmware of a new phone offers 450-500 mb of phone memory( it depends on region, 450-500 in my region). So those who are fanatic about their phone memory should try out CM as it is the most stable out there for tipo.
Hope this is useful to some extent.
I'm currently using CM10 (FXP212) and it is running very smooth.

I want to make a few comments to this:
- custom ROMs are overall a little bit less stable, especially if they're still in development phase, which all of Tipo's custom ROMs are. Although CM is quite stable since the few last updates.
- Z-Fusion is still based on an older CM10 build. That's where the partial lesser features come from. There have been some updates in the CM10 project since Z-Fusion released.
- AOKP is FAR from done.
Honestly in my opinion you should also cover some the downsides of Custom ROMs when you post something like this, because it isn't really objective like this.
I do agree CM10 FXP project is a wonderful project, but it was also the first so it had more time to advance and evolve into a great ROM. Give the other ROMs a chance.
Also, are you planning to add more ROMs to your review?
Regards, Drago

I really appreciate your opinions
This post was meant for upsides of the ROMs. However, I will make another post to point out the demerits.
Thanks for encouraging me. :thumbup:

thank you and i saw Cyanogenmod work more fluently than stock rom and i'm thinking install Cyanogenmod in my tipo and install a custom rom have compatibility with locked bootloader xD

I'm thinking to install CM10 on my Tipo, but still have my doubts, because I can't find any info about the pro's on the net.
Is it really really faster then the stock ?
At this point, my phone is really laggy at some point (stock). Even, when all the unneeded apps are deleted.
When I type a message, my phone laggs almost everytime.
That's why I was looking at the freexperia project, but yeah, warranty void :/
That's a big downside for me...

If you are looking for laggless rom stay away from fxp, at least for now because stock i much faster than cm for this day (fxp214).
I recommend you to use gimlo rom with pimp my rom tweak (aroma version) it makes tipo much faster.
To tell the diffrence here are quadrant benchmark results i got:
Fxp 214 ~1000pts
Gimlo 0.3 ~1500pts
Gimlo 0.3 + Pimp my rom ~1700pts

Try FXP221. U will find how great fxp rom now

As of 221, its very stable. Just one bug i.e. Loudspeaker for calls is not working.

Cwm is returning Everything, as I try it, you can go back from CM 10 to ICS but I'm on CM10 right now and I'm using it as daly drive. Loudspeaker is fixed and I think the headphones but that I didn't check.

[Q] IS CM stable worth to install?

Hi there mates,
I finally decided to dump the stock ROM and give it a try on custom one.
After reading a bit i think i'm starting to like Cyanogen, but since i want a good stable ROM i appreciated some opinions form anyone who is using it.
1st and really important: my stock ROM does not have any of the know issues (deep sleep probs, random reboots, battery drains etc...) so anyone know if CM 9.x stable have any of this issues?
2nd does everything work? In the CM forums i found no one complaining with "loosing" functionality's but i would like to ear from anyone that uses this on a daily basis. (i found a lot of people complaining with encryption problem and bad flashing but not about Wifi radio, camera, etc...)
3rd: Is this the best choice to use on a daily basis? Or there is a better/more stable/more fluid Rom?
Thanks to all.

Most of the CM 10.x ROMs are pretty stable and usable. I am a fan of the KatKiss ROMs. 4.2.2 has the best functionality, but the 4.3 variant is not bad. The only thng that does not work for me is camera on Skype.

Hmmm, if I did it was a while ago. CM 9 is based on ICS. I have not run an ICS ROM for more than a few hours in over a year. I would say that the Jelly Bean based ROMs (CM10.X) feel SO much faster due to project butter. I flashed back to stock ICS a bit ago, and it feels so sluggish.
Most of the threads on CM 10 you can see how stable they are. I know the No-Name CM 10.1 is rock solid. Joesteink has moved on, but the ROM is still rock solid and many users swear by it.

Is CM finally stable? I had it installed a year or so ago, but then it was still beta for the transformer. Since then I used various flavors and eventually stayed with the EOS-build. Very stable with all the options I ever need (like overclocking and gouvenor-changing). I'm still using EOS, since it's stable and performing very well. Katkiss seems to be the continuation of it, so you could try it yourself And if you don't like it, then you drop it for something else

Chose stable custom rom for my sis

Hello people
My sister is considering flashind custom rom on her SGS Advance. And because I'm not familiar with Samsung devices (I have two Sony :>)
I would like to ask you to help me chose the most stable and fully functional custom ROM.
At the moment she has stock JB installed but it has some freezes and doesn't run very well.
What can you recommend? It doesn't have to be the nevest android.
I think I would chose between SkimKat 4.4, CyanogenMod 11 by Team Canjica and VanirAOSP 4.4.4. I know those are very good custom roms.
Can you tell me if there are any issues with those? like reboots, not working features?

If you say custom ROMs, there is no ROM which is bug free but there are stable ROMs.
Stability depends on how and what you use. All 4.4 ROMs have reached to a state where you can use them for daily use.
I am Using CM11 nightly 20140614 and dont have any problems.
All the ROMs have their dev and Q/A threads, you can check them for the most stable builds and the working/non working functionality.

Try the latest vanir aosp its fast, fluid and stable...
For me its the most stable rom yet

Well SlimKat seems to be bugless.
VanirAOSP has some bugs with SystemUI

Go for the slimkat(final). It's the smoothest, fastest rom for our phone.

Vanir is the best!

AOKP 4.2.2 by PV after uninstalling and reinstalling calendar is stable.

I'd have to go with Vanir. Everything just works and lag is virtually non-existent. The only downside I can see is slightly shorter battery life (could be just my phone though). One advantage that i love is it has it's own updater so it's not much of a hassle to get the latest fixes and improvements!
Another option for her would be to stay with stock JB bit change her kernel to CoCore.

More performance = more battery drain.

@lozohcum : How old is she? She want a girl theme too?

After testing almost every ROM, i think that CM10.1 is the most stable(with good battery backup)...

Liquid smooth 3.2 smooth as liquid with all customizations
just battery backup is 15 to 17 hr is matter

Yeah, you should try this. Cm 10.1 is awesome!

I think u can choose between VanirAOSP or AOSP from j.team.. The last one is disscontinued but its 90% finished and 100% stable.
U can choose one of them, or, simpli, test both because testing is the only (exactly) way to know if ROM is for you (or sister).
See all!
