[Q] On the verge of rooting - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey all: I'm a noob on the verge of rooting, but one thing is still giving me hesitation -- stability. I've heard complaints that some custom ROMs result in random reboots, for example, and I'm looking for an honest assessment from the community regarding problems such as this.

All roms here are pretty rock stable... if there is a rom with random reboots then you don't have to flash it, flash another one

Some disgruntled people I've talked to have argued this problem is fairly common to most ROMs. Glad to hear that isn't the case.

That's great to hear. If you don't mind me asking, what's your ROM(s) of choice?

Certain people have issues. I have a feeling these people are using conflicting apps like battery savers causing their reboots. Thousands of people run each Rom just fine. You only hear about the complaints because people dont ***** when they're happy

Hmm...that leads me to my second question -- are there any apps that I should avoid or that typically cause problems with custom ROMs?

Facebook, really? It's been my experience that the FB app barely works on stock ROMs, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

R: [Q] On the verge of rooting
Why are you ckncerned with roms? u said u wanted to root....it doesnt affect anything if u dont use the new superuser priviledges it grants you....so theres no point in NOT rooting it (except for warranty void, but there are workarounds for this). The instability of roms is determined by...rom developers.
Enable usb debugging if u have problems with titanium backup. Facebook problems are probably a.problem concerning the other single user. Theres no point in worrying ablut root....what u should worry about instead is what u wanna do with root..and how.
Good roms for the s3 are rootbox and foxhound (most credited).
Cyanogen is not stable enough yet (hasnt even got developer options).

OP stay away from any Alpha, Beta or Nightly Roms. I haven't heard of any Roms that are unstable when labeled otherwise.

If you want a clean stable Rom go get Clean Rom 6 and flars bulletproof kernel. Pretty sure the only thing that can go wrong there is you dropping your phone into a pit of old men.

I think that's why too. I don't think XDA wants to link to other devs. That's what that ROM looked like. However I'm flashing to it right now, and after browsing their website for a while it looks pretty safe. They seem more experienced than most devs on XDA and this ROM is available for many devices so it should be pretty stable.
Its Becquerel they include warez in the ROM which are a know issue with UD rom's. These types are prohibited in XDA. Got this info from option94 in the other thread.
Its Because they include warez in the ROM which are a known issue with UD rom's. These types are prohibited in XDA. Got this info from option94 in the other thread.
Regardless of it using warez its still the fastest rom ive ever used definitely .

im all about CM7 right now, but listening to you im gonna try this Kanged out ROM.. if your lying to me your FIRED!!!! lol
you got me running a nandroid backup of my CM7 just to try this out.
Honestly after trying to ROM for about 20 mins, i can only say not bad at all.
I'm sure a lot of ppl here would really like the ROM. i say they should let him post the ROM, its no different from what Jaywan was doing. But its a better Kang job than what Jay would do.
He is giving proper credit now. or atleast i did see Cyanogens name there.
went back to CM7 myself, but its a pretty fast stable ROM. Great Bootanimation also

I see you went back to CM7, and you did try this rom out. All id like to know is CM7 as fast as this rom? If it is ill go back. I was on thunderbolt before which is sense, but was faster than CM at the time bur maybe the devs have sped things up a bit?

Aww man, data not working Thats a no go for me right there.......
Thanks anyways for the hardwork! Hope you fix it soon! The ui looks fantastic btw, great job!
wao who rated 1 star -_-, this is the reason i took down the gb build. this only has data not working, the rest perfectly fine( of whats working on cm9).
ATM = Aynchronous Transfer Mode? if so, does that mean data works in general (sync) but not in Async mode?
Is that a CM9 issue?

I was wondering why that thread died down.
Honestly dude, if you can't handle negative criticism then I'm not sure why you bother posting your work. In no way am I saying your roms are bad or anything, I haven't even tried them yet, but what I'm getting at is that there are always people that do not like it or whatever.
My advise to you is that you ignore those people, don't let negative comments discourage you and whatnot. Removing your gb release because people were complained about it seems a little childish. No offense
Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thanks!

Then you need to just remove the two Roms that don't have data if your just going to abandon them. I don't understand the point of posting them with no data if you don't plan on at least fixing them. Just saying.

What is the best ROM?

Hey guys,
Sorry but it seemed like this was the only way to figure something out. I've had my MT4GS for an year now and i've been trying on new roms since the day i got it. All in hopes that i would find one that actually works. I'm tired of all the Alphas and frankly i'm tired of them. It seems like everyone and their mother has an Alpha ROM out. I'm not making this up, maybe you guys have seen it too. A few weeks ago, someone released a ROM (Alpha) saying, the phone, the wifi, and the camera doesn't work. I was thinking, "why would you release this, what can the phone do with this ROM?"
Enough about my rants, these are the ROMs that i've actually used for a considerable amount of time and the problems.
Bulletproof- It had huge syncing problems and it would crash. (used it for 3 months)
Virtuous Inquisition- Crashed very often and the battery life wasn't as good, no trackpad support. (used it for 6 months)
Cyanogenmod 9 (Tried all Alphas)- Half the apps don't install from the market saying "its not supported on this device" (WTF??) (Used it for 3 weeks)
Virtuous Infinity- Loved it, not a big fan of sense but this was good but the connection kept dropping out, sometimes during calls. (used it for a week)
I got fed up and went back to Virtuous Inquisition. It was crashing but it was the most stable one that i've used so far.
all i'm looking for is one that has the basic functions and has a good battery life. I remember the days of CM7, where the battery lasted FOREVER. It doesn't have to be that good but as long as it is descent.
anyone have any recommendations?
What do you mean by crashing? I have used Bulletproof for over 6 months and it never crashes. It is the most stable rom I have found. Are you perhaps over or underclocked? That can cause issues. Also, there are lots of other threads that ask this same question, so why not post in one of those, instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that has been covered many many times.
Search function, maybe?

Just because it's labeled as an alpha doesn't mean it isn't. Some people just label it that so they don't have to deal with idiots when they complain.

I just have to say that the other app stores are not as good as play. It isn't about having the most apps. The apps from the Amazon store are not updated as frequently as the ones in the play store, and the developers are not getting paid properly, that is why the apps in the Amazon store are not as plentiful or maintained as frequently.

Well, I still think that not having the play store is a big problem. I want everything that Android has to offer, I personally like having books, movies, t.v. shows, mags, and apps at my fingertips one of the major reasons why I own a smartphone. Telling someone to get an Iphone because they want everything the Play store has to offer isn't really constructive or very nice. I love all the roms that our devs have made for our phone, but I choose to use Bulletproof so that I can have everything working that came with this phone. People value different things in roms, I think it is not appropriate to put someone down because they want the market. I would love to run one of the ICS roms, but for now the best fit for me is a Gingerbread rom because everything is working.

OK. If you've:

c. are a developer,
...maybe you should make your own "Alpha." This place is called XDA Developers, not XDA whine-and-complain-about-alphas-and-say-I'm-a-developer-to-add-credibility-to-my-name. If actually ARE a developer, you should be ashamed of yourself for disparaging the work of the MT4GS devs.
You joined XDA to complain that xmc is trying to get stable Jelly Bean on our device? Seriously?
The MT4GS is one of the few dual-core phones that never received an official update to ICS. The devs here managed to get stable ICS on our device. They CHOOSE to share their work with you. You are entitled to nothing. You should know that. You are a developer, aren't you?
Actually, please don't answer that question. Nothing you say will change the fact that you joined XDA to complain about free stuff.

No, I haven't checked it out in a while. I was just referring to the issue of the Amazon and Slideme markets being suitable replacements for Google Play. Didn't you say in an earlier post "CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME." ? I am confused as to why they would be worried about Play if it is working?
I will give CM9 another look as soon as I have some time. Also for the record, I am very satisfied with the level of development for this phone, and have never complained about the choices of roms. I just took issue with the whole market replacement issue.

I'm sorry if it came off like that. I didn't join this to complain. I was simply asking if anyone has found any roms that they would recommend.
When i said i'm tired, i meant that there are 20+ roms just here at XDA, and I dont want to go through each one for a week only to find out it wont work and i need a new one. So i was asking for RECOMMENDATIONS!
I wasnt ranting at ppl. I know how hard it can be to make a ROM. The ppl at places like CM, Virtuous and other places work their butts off to do these releases. And to pay my respects, i download them and test them thoroughly and send them reports about un-reported bugs that they might have missed.
.
For example, on CM9, you can't download apps like "Android Online Radio" and "Cessna 172 Checklist FULL". They (CM) haven't mentioned the problem, so i reported it to them.
and when i said im a developer, i didnt mean i do ROMs (There are other things you can develop FYI)
now all that put aside, i was ranting about one guy, who had that "nothing working" alpha.
Let me try it again before ppl start yelling at me... I want some HELP with ROMs. Could someone RECOMMEND me a ROM that is stable.
for exapme. rorytmeadows(first post), and yellowjacket1981 actually recommended ROMs. Then it was just bash on the new guy...
and yellowjacket1981, mine cashed every time i tried to sync my dropbox or facebook. Gmail was the only thing that synced without crashing.

Hmm, that is strange, I have no problem syncing my facebook or dropbox. Are you Son? if so did you flash the kernel through adb? My bf is son, and didn't flash the kernel through adb, and he had all kinds of problems until I flashed it through adb for him. I honestly have had zero problems running Bulletproof, that is why I have stuck with it so long.

What is the best/lightest rom for the HOX

What is the best vanilla rom and what is the best modified sense rom?
I want it to be light (uses a low amount of ram) and more stable/fast than the stock rom that gets shipped with your AT&T HTC One X... with better battery life.
Thanks,
Wir3d
This post is not going to be received well, FYI, but before they lock you down : I'm really enjoying CleanRom Lite. It's definitely more responsive than stock. It's Sense-based. Very stable (based on my experience, more stable than stock even).
I don't think any of them right now are going to affect battery life in any appreciable way.
There is no "best" ROM. The best one, is the one that fit your wants and needs, and those are not the same from person to person.
Also, just browse the forum or do a search. There are already lots of other threads like this.

There's no one answer because roms perform differently on different phones depending on usage and individual configurations. 500 people may love one rom to death, but you may find it doesn't work so hot on your phone. You have to test them out and see what's best for you.
Read the ROM threads, find one that you think looks good to you, flash it. Only way to find out.

This all comes down to personal preference so you'll have to go through and see what works for you, each ROM has pros/cons. I've tried 3 myself and I found that the Nocturnal SE 1.7 gives me a good speed boost and battery life, I'm getting about 22-28hrs total with ~3hrs screen time at 50% brightness.
Thanks guys, I know the rules of the forum very well.. the point of it was to see which one uses the least amount of ram and get some feedback at the same time. I was a HD2 owner for 2 years and was involved in the HD2 forums for as long as I have owned the phone.I just got the the HOX and wanted to get something on it quick..
I don't see a point of injecting every single rom into my phone just to find out which one uses the least amount of ram when I can start a thread and and find out that way and at the same time get some feedback..that is the whole point of a forum like this..to communicate with others that have similar devices and can help you out.. I've checked out the pages for almost every rom but I haven't seen one that clearly states how much ram it uses for example 341 MB/1000MB...
I use the Wcx illuminati series roms , they are screaming fast , stable , and they have a mod version and stock version .. and three kernels to choose from .

I just registered over there to check it out... I don't know man... it doesn't seem like he really cares if anyone flashes his ROM or not. Gotta have 10 posts to even download it, there's no actual changelog, no list of mods, no screenies.... how am I supposed to know if I even want to flash it?

First off... Howdy
Doesn't care? Lol, that's harsh ... I know wild child personally and he's the only guy I know that is awake all hours , every day of the week making updates, tweaks, and roms. And never puts a Rom out that doesn't impress, the 10 post rule was put into place to get rid of those who just didn't want to contribute , 10 posts is a very small price to pay for the time and effort put into the work. You can get 10 just hitting the different forums and helping out , and post #2 usually has the change log. They are there I just checked.

I didn't really mean it like that, not trying to detract from the hard work that Wildchild puts in. I'm sure it's an awesome ROM and I'm sure he works very hard on it. I just can't find any information on it, even on his own site. After a fair amount of searching, I have no clue what features it has, what kind of tweaks have been made, if it's been themed at all, or just how it differs from the stock ROM. I have seen lots of people mention his ROMs and how awesome they are, so I'm quite curious and would love to check it out but no way am I flashing a ROM that I know quite literally nothing about.
Aokp by rohan32 is best vanilla rom out right now...not even close. That is if you don't mind having a non working video camera. It's extremely light (about 140 megs) and very fast when joined with nova launcher. It has mods out the ying Yang too.

Basically his regular ROM is a tweaked stock ROM and retains all of the stock look with a nice increase in speed. The modded ROMs he releases are more themed and stuff. And it will have a tweaks app built for his ROM that will allow all kinds of customizations. Kind of similar to what's in the xi40 ROM. I used his modded ROM on my Vivid and it was rock solid. I would definitely give it a try, they are very solid ROMs. I saw you posting over there earlier.

[Q] CM11 vs. 4.4.2 stock?

I just bought a Nexus 5 and I was wondering which is better: CM11 nightlies or just having rooted stock FW ..
Which one is faster? (bootup time, app launch times, smoothness)
And am I really missing any features when staying stock?
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46344624
It's really up to you to decide which is better. Cm will probably have more bugs than stock but maybe they're ok for you

I prefer stock because of the difficulty of porting the Google Dialer with Caller ID by Google

I flashed just about everything and settled on stock. cm11, purity ROM, sanity, slim, you name it. Stock with xposed is great. On any custom ROM, I lost LTE and still don't know why. Gravitybox is just about the same as running a custom ROM, too.

I dont see much of a point in owning a nexus if you are just gonna throw Cyanogenmod on it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I would probably stick with stock if I didn't require voice+ app by cyanogenmod. Until hangouts come with full Google voice number support sticking with CM11.
CM11 really isn't that buggy with current nightly, it's incredibly stable. Also the fact that it's a continuous work in progress is plus. You never know when stock gets updates.
Other than that I would use paranoid android when that comes out or pacman.

Or like any other Android phone. Almost every major Android phone has Cyanogenmod ported to it. I don't personally understand the appeal of buying a Nexus phone to then throw on the same custom rom that you could run on literally any other Android phone. I guess if you are off contract and absolutely love Cyanogenmod for some insane reason. . . . .
As said on a non nexus the cyanogen team really shine, to be honest I'm loving cataclysm ROM at the minute. Close to stock but has just enough customisations for me

hey guys, i am a bit late but finally i upgrade from sgs2 to n5. and stock-google-android seems to be slick and fast. but what i miss is customizable quick settings and detailed volume control, which i had with my beloved cm. would that be things that xposed can do for me? what are you guys using with your n5?

thx for your reply! i like cm very much. but i figured there would be the disadvantage that cm updates will take a little longer than google (which was the other way round with samsung). maybe this will change since google is sending out dev-previews of new major releases now.

I will never use CM again, and will stay away from CM variants if at all possible.
You're talking about 2-3 days here. If that worried about it, go back to stock until CM updates. That's what I did for 4.4.3. I was already in bootloader flashing the new modem, so figured I'd just flash the rest.
