[Q] Best stable-fast ROM?

Hi everyone! I've one of the first ROM came out after the releasing of the kernel for our phone, it's not bad but sometimes seems slow (especially typing).
I was looking for something very fast and stable, I don't care so much about customization or overclocking.
Do you think I should think of came back to stock? Which rom do you suggest?
Thanks for any help!

at this moment , i suggest you KANGY-V8 by HAKA and mathkid95's Matr1x 15.0 CFS with Weathley + SIO , everything's good

Thanks! I'll give them a shot!

Stock gingerbread

I was actually looking for something similar myself(in terms of stability), but i actually do want a little more customizations and tweaks, i was going to try
CyberGR-MOD, would that be a good choice?

probably not , becuase i was using it before
it's good , but however , there some MOD like "search key for recent apps" and some themes from theme section , weren't able to be applied in that ROM ...
if you wanted these MOD, you have to do it yourself ...

Thanks, one last question though, when you were using it was it stable?

I have been using Codename Android Rom(used to be AOSP+)
I must say it one of the best Roms I have tried. I suggest everyone to try it.
I just registered at XDA but I have been following the Scene for a while. I have using this rom for more than a month. I was on nexus beam but its not as fast and stable as Codename android.
this Rom is great because:
1-Great stability
2-no reboots whatsoever
3-very smooth and fast(including typing) I used to have sluggish keyboard on other roms, not this one.
4-Great Battery life
5-AOSP so its built from scrach so its clean and has nice simple mods and tweaks
Check it out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463437
I also suggest using Eugenes speedy Kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455
the Rom and Kernel above are just sooo compatible. I have the best android experience ever
Good luck

I'm usin pete's bugless beast, never had reboots, freezes or something. It runs very smooth and fast, and battery life is great. I always have 2 days, with little usage even 3 days. I'm using steven garons kernel with default settings and bln on.

Apex 1.0.0 with Speedy 7. No problems at all.

I'm with imsailham except I'm using kernel Icup speed5.
Still not as fast as the good old Oxygen based on Gingerbread but the improvement on ICS makes this ROM the top

Problem: Music player lags a bit

I'm on 4.0.4.. Stock ROM.. matr1x kernel..
The music player lags while the song is playing if I start something else like Whatsapp or browser..
As in the song literally lags..
I've tried oc'ing it to 1.4ghz..
And have plenty of free memory..
But still it lags..
Can someone please help..
Do I need to change the kernel? if so which one is good?

i have no issues with this kernel, but if u have a nexus s and not a 4g i will advise you to not oc to 1.4, stay at 1.3/1.2 . cuz nexus s processor are diferent...
but if u think it is the kernel, flash another one, but that one should work perfect

Trinity?

Try raising voltages back to stock. Some phones can UV without rebooting but become far less efficient and unstable. Matr1x is undervolted by default.
Edit: See here for stock voltages.

It definitely worked..
First I changed the voltages.. No lag.. Then..
Realized that the trinity kernel has the default values.. And its working fine.
guess it was the voltages..
Thanks..

If you want to use matr1x. Try downloading voodoo sound.

I have found titanium to be best too in matter of battery ^_^

Using Frankenstain [LF2] Mod^3.5 rom with vurrut kernel 9.1 till now got the best result. I also use bam kernel for a long time but I got little lag n battery drain problem. Hope they will fix it on next release.

This of the list of roms and kernel I tried out lately.
1. RemICS 1.3 with dhiru kernel
Quite good, reasonable battery life, nice performance.
2. RemICS 1.3 with vurrut 1.8
Nice performance, nice battery.
3. Pandora miui(now closed) with vurrut 1.7
Exceptional battery life, with no lags, nice performance. Still hd gaming lags :-(
4. pandora miui with vurrut 1.8
Similar results, not much notable differences except a bit betterbattery life.
5. Pandora miui, with arindam kernel(along with rom)
Stuck on bootloop
P.S. Pandora miui had 3 inbuilt kernels to select while flashing (vurrut 1.7, arindam, dhiru kernel)
Presently on stock rom xxkpu, with bafaria, cf root kernel !
Press thanks if helped

I am using Ddlf2 Lite by RonnYap , with XDA Bam 14 kernel (packaged).
This is the most fastest with so many features including power camera shutter + low battery... this guy is genius man.
known defect : flashlight , some games like scramble pro will auto shutdown.
I wanna go for Lightest JB, with 3x kernel ,,cant imagine that @@

Nope nothing special ) only asphalt 7 is problematic.

Looks like I solved it : download the latest ZSPLD firmware from sammobile.com, flash ardadat's latest kernel (4.2b6), use setcpu 3 and set the governor to interactive and scheduler to deadline. I managed to play a few mins of Temple Run and had no freezes and the framerate was excellent (I'd say above 40 fps). If this also works for you add this to the OP and change the title.

I'm pretty sure it was in fact lagging with XXLQ9 + ardadat 4.2b6 and interactive/sio.

My games play at high FPS but:
- Most of them suffer a big pause of 2 seconds each 5 minutes of playing, more or less.
- Boost 2, which is a fantastic game, is laggy while in my Galaxy S it is smooth as hell.
Someone with similar problems maybe?

I have the same issue. I would really like to know if anyone who has flashed the Taiwan ROM have the same issues. I have given up playing Dead Trigger and many other games because of this issue.

ZSPLD is a "very updated" build of 4.0.4. It has a new keyboard, Polaris Office 4.0 and some other updates that aren't available in other builds. As of performance, I managed to play a few mins and had only one 3 second freeze followed immediately by another 1 sec one.

[Q] Tipo CPU and GPU Overclocking

Hi!
I have rooted Tipo. Running on Free Xperia kernel (3.0.8-FXP-g22c38de5) with MIUI 3.7.19 ported for Tipo on Android 4.1.2. What a long sentence So, my question is; can i overclock GPU and/or CPU. I have tried to overclock, but i only was able to underclock

you can only overclock cpu at stock rom with vergeance kernel (1.40) but it isnt stable

So I can't
Ok, i might test it later, but not now since it's unstable. Thanks for info

either you don't have init.d support or busybox, or adrenaline engine is really worthless, IDK check if you have those two things, if you have them then adrenaline engine doesn't work well on CM. I noticed some improvement with multitasking on stock rom

You can use 1.40 vengeance kernel with gimlo rom.....i come from cm10 and miui.....believe me ...this rom is pretty fast.....and with vengeance kernel, i get 5041 score in antutu benchmark .
Earlier this vengeance kernel was very unstable......but now with gimlo ,this is behaving very well.....no doubt there are some some reboots when you strain the cpu a lot but thats very predictable
And one funny thing....i can play subway surfers all day long without any reboot ...hhaahaaa my fav game
Try it
If you get unstabilities, you can always switch back to stock...or better set the vengeance kernel to 800 (its rock stable there) and still you ll get 200 more points than stock Its a win-win situation .
Below is my setup

It's more stable, but no overclock. I haven't tried it still, but I don't recommend using 1.40. If you want to play a 3d game or watch a flash video on a website the phone will reboot, regardless of the frequency or governor/io set

So now i know what to do.

So I'm going to install 1.46 and probably not overclock. I may test it, but if it crashes all the time, i'm not going to overclock.
