[Q] Choosing a ROM - General Questions and Answers

I am very new at all this but off to a good start so far...I think. My Verizon S4 is successfully rooted and it's running the JellyBro EuroSkank ROM. I used GooManager and TWRP 2.5.0.3 to do it all. GooManager shows several other compatible ROMa are available like Carbon for example. My question is how do I know which one is the best in stability and features?
My current one, seems to be very good but is there something even better?

There are a lot of different ROM.
One has better performance.
Another has better battery usage.
And another has richer features....
There is no BEST rom. It's should be MOST SUITABLE on your need.
Download and try some, you will know which is most suitable for you. :highfive:

Try Cyanogenmod.

try stock rom or CM

This thread is unnecessary. This will eventually lead to a best Rom thread which is not allowed. The best thing for anyone would be to flash them and see what fits your needs.

Pretty much this. Best thing to do is read the threads of different ROMs and flash a few yourself to see what best fits your needs. No one will know but you.

Best RoM is always of Cyanogenmod but the problem is it is still not available in stable version. Once it is made it is always best for any device. ParanoidAndroid is also good al like CM.
The best way to find out is to try them all. It all depends on what you think is important. The poster above me is an idiot. Cyanogenmod is a great option for but not even close to always being the best. I know it sucks to have to keep reflashing sometimes, but the best way to find out which features are important and which rom is best for you and your device is to try them out.

What version are you looking at flashing. For the P511X there are only two roms at the moment that are 4.2.1...CM 10.1 and Baked.
I just installed Baked and it is very smooth so far.

[Q] Best Kernel for the Nexus S

Hello all,
I am planning to change my kernel. But I am confused as to with what kernel I settle down. So seeking help of you community members.
I prefer kernel which has a nice performance and great battery life and that can work with majority of Roms including MIUI.
I heard that marmite latest version 7.3 is not stable. So if you suggest marmite then also please mention which version I download.
I am running on JB stock atm.
Thank you for reading.

I am not sure hence asking the community
Marmite 7.3 is very good. Try it.

if you got 5 people to respond you would get 5 different answers
you would still need to use the search function
[available on every page...] to find and READ information about each one
every phone is a little different in the way the hardware responds
no two folks use their phone the same
what works perfect for me might make your device reboot continuously
the short answer is that only you can determine what works best for you and your phone
stop trying to avoid the effort needed to expand your knowledge
use the search engine
I am not avoiding. I am just new to kernels hence asking. I did study a bit about kernels available. But asking as I don't want to miss out any good kernel.
Try out marmite, matrix, and air kernel.

Marmite its always a good start, them u should try others, but it seems that for Nexus S, besides all the little differences between devices Marmite is the one to rule them all.

I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.
thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:
Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life
The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

Is there any P3110 stock ROM that's not 900MB? Or any stock-based ROM below 300MB?

I can't find a stock ROM that's not one gajillion bytes. I'm selling my P3110 to buy a Moto G and it's on an unstable build of CM11. That's not gonna help me when I sell it, the buyer might think it's a fake device if they don't know about custom ROMs. Even if it's a custom ROM, as long as it's stock a based and not customized and it looks like the original ROM, please recommend it!
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
If you are looking for stock-based ROMs, it will be one of these:
MicroDelta
NEXT
Liquid Smooth
Sungsonic
PureStock
Both MicroDelta and NEXT are very good ROMs. MicroDelta is based on the latest 4.2.2, while NEXT is 4.1.2 -- not sure if that matters to you. NEXT is smaller in size, just under 550MB. I haven't tried the other ROMs, so can't say anything about them... Liquid Smooth is the smallest at 365MB.
For selling a device, I would suggest setting it up with a full original stock, though -- just makes it easier. That's what I am doing, anyway, but it's up to you, of course...

Flash the original ROM using Odin. You can look up whichever version you want on sammobile or samsung-updates. For example, this one is the latest official 4.2.2 in the US. That's what I put on my tab that I am selling.

That's for the P3113... Could you link me the Samsung ROMs? I saw a site but I needed to be a member to download anything.
I regret even rooting this thing now... Maybe the buyer will settle for CM10.x? Hopefully so, don't want them thinking just because it's a custom ROM the device is fake.

Sammobile requires registration, but samsung-updates does not. Take a look here.
It all depends on who your buyer is, and how you explain it... I sold a couple of rooted phones with modded ROMs in the past, and people were quite happy with that (I told them the phones were rooted, etc.). Maybe, I just got lucky with the buyers, I dunno... This time I flashed stock, just to keep it simple.

Recommended ROMs Please?

Hey everyone...
Just looking for some advice on an S3 ROM. I'm on the S4 w T-Mobile but I'm looking for a ROM to flash on S3 for my boyfriend. He's on dirty unicorn right now.
I just want something stable so he doesn't bother me lol.
I'm on a kitkat ROM myself..are they stable on a s3?
If everyone could just recommend a 4.4 ROM and a 4.3 ROM so I can look at them instead of reading thru all 50 ROMs with 1000 posts.. I'd prefer it NOT to be a TW ROM. Battery life is most important of course.

All are pretty stable but unfortunately this site shuts down any ROM recommendation threads as it can lead to pointless debates about which ROM is the best.
We don't allow comparison threads as they often lead to arguments and fighting among the users.
The best place to find out about a specific ROM is in that ROM's thread. Read what other users are saying, bugs they are reporting and feedback to and from the developer(s). We encourage you to check out the different ROM threads and to find one or two that you like, flash them and run them. If you like one stick with it. If not, flash a different one.
Or if you are like the majority of us XDA users you'll flash one, run it for a week and then flash another, and another, and another, and another.
Thank you,
Rwilco12
