[Q] What ROM have folks settled on ?

I have been running the latest stock JB for a day and would like to know what other ROMs peeps have had a good experience with. I see folks on Clean Rom and Cyanogen 10. If your using one of those I would like to know how well they work any broken features?
Cheers,
Feend

Why don't you add a poll to make it easier for folk?
Me I'm on CleanROM Inheritance obviously :laugh:

CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4 also
thnx sbdags for making it.

RGR That Thanks!

Didn't think of that good idea!
Poll added.

I'd been on the stock rom for ages... only took the plunge to unlock this week. I'm using:
TWRP 2.3.3.0
I first installed surdu_petru The Ultra Fast Rom V03 (I wasn't too keen on the new icons)
Then installed Cleanrom Inheritance 3.04 (Keeping surdu_petru kernel)
Having root and being able to delete anything I want has been great.. I was going to remove the stock browser and install Opera Mobile and re-map the keyboard dock key to Opera. I didn't needed to as the stock browser works great now. Really impressed with the rom :laugh: .... I've used m TF300T more in the last week than I have in the previous 6 months.... it really was a slow piece of crap before (I'd tried everything to get this thing running smoothly before unlocking).
I have to say Asus REALLY needs to look at doing something to make the stock rom workable. No one should have to unlock and flash a new kernel / rom just to be able to use the stock browser properly.
Both roms worked great just prefer sbdags theme more

I have tried most of the roms and without a doubt at the present time its clean rom 3.0.4 for me. unters first tf300 kernal at 1.6 ghz overclock and 520 mhz gpu works great and i did not find any thing at all that didnt work as it should. unters 4.4.20 is what i use and that breaks the front camera but has a slightly higher 1.7 ghz overclock and 600 mhz gpu. the clem kernals work on mine but i get fc on occasion and they also break the cam and do not support some micro sd cards. imho you will not find a better rom atm period though all the roms are very nice and people worked very hard to make them so try em and see what suits your taste buds, bud oh and i did find that my gps wasnt woring well but after flashing the agps patch it cleared right up.

Baked Blackbean 7 Tester :good:

I flashed all available Roms so far. Clean Rom is the best by miles.

Cleanrom runs good, nothing to complain about.

Running Blue Android 2.0, and clean fast.. .

Paranoid Android v2.54 with the modified Unter kernel. I've been running it since day 1 and love it!

I am using CM10.1. It is pretty stable and fast, and has new updates every day, adding new features and fixing bugs. Also, it's 4.2.1, which has its advantages. (and disavantages, the new UI sucks)

I've been using CaponmodTF the past few days, though I've tried cleanrom as well but CapmonTF is imo the smoothest of them all.
Swiping a page with the stock browser on this one has the smoothest experience. So I choose none of the list.

i voted Clean, but really miss PA...
incomplete list of choices

I've been running Energy Rom by NRGZ28, clean smooth & fast, have had no issues.

I'm on clean rom mostly so I can try the arch dual booting
Otherwise I'd be on a cm based rom
Probably jellybro

Now CM10.1 Nightlies......patiently *cough* waiting for KA06!

I was on Baked blackbean 6 then to CM 10.1 nightlies. Went to clean rom last night after I got the keyboard ($50 at office depo).
There are so many good things about each one of them: bb has rom control and customizations; CM10.1 with Android 4.2's new features; cleanrom for it's asus feel and keyboard compatability.
I am really happy with the development on this device!

CleanRom 1.8GHz is so sick.

Which ROM?

I would like to have a de-bloated 4.1.1 for my Galaxy S3.
Just unsure of which ROM to use.
To start I would like it to be the same as the phone stock but without all the bloatware on it.
Please direct me.
Thanks.

Try out h3llsrom RallyStock 1.22 rom. A stock rom super debloated with separate aroma installers to add in the components you want.

CleanRom 5.6 for starters.

CleanRom 5.6 is the one to try, IMHO.

X10000000. Its what I've been running. Its essentially vanilla touch wiz. Its blazing fast and has great battery life. Also clean rom lite 5.6 is amazing.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I will give both of those a try over the next few weeks.

I have tried a variety of ROMS, most of which were great. I kept coming back to Clean ROM 5.6. It's TW and had no issues at all. Then I installed Lean Kernel for a little overclocking and voltage variety. The other ROM's I tried had a small white line at the top of the screen which I didn't like or take time to figure out. The Clean ROM didn't have that problem.
Good Luck.

I haven't ran his roms in awhile but some of h3llsrom rom's were wipe versions, they wipe everything. They are good roms, just read and know what you are flashing.
I say cleanrom, it's my go to and meets all my needs.

I say try out Hyperdrive rom Blazing Fast

Cleanrom like everyone else said will probably fit the bill for you.

Don't worry about the bloat. I say go for Beans' ROM if your sticking with 4.1.1. It has all the customization you would need and as stable as it gets.

I'm a big fan of remf4i/Rath1on's "The Executioner 3" with Imoseyon's lean kernel v1.7

Amazing performance with really good battery life

Ive tried most of these roms and they are all good. but if you want a slim rom Hellsrom is the place to be. thats what im running now and i absolutely love this rom.

In case you have not read the responses.
Clean ROM all day!
Other ROMs are beautifullly smooth and fast. But just do not have the battery of clean rom

Stock JB (debloated/disabled) vs CM?

Hi everyone, just got this phone and I'm playing with it before transitioning it as my day to day device. Thanks for the wealth of info here. I odin'ed the stock JB image. I have two questions please:
1-i disabled most of the bloatware (as in the list published here) Theough JB app settings menu. Besides the memory gained, is there any advantage in rooting and removing the apps, or just loading the nice debloated rom that circulates here?
2-my first option would be vanilla JB, i hate touchwiz. CM looks very nice, but is there a real advantage over debloated stock? In performance, battery, etc.? Is 4.3 much better than 4.1?
Thanks!

cm10.2 is sitll in nightly stage - may be buggy and may be unstable (but may also work well without issues)
debloated stock is rather stable - in my experience at least
i have rooted and debloated (manually with titanium backup) stock jb, i will wait for stable cm

The CM nightlies are good, The TeamApexQ builds* are better. Very stable, very good on battery, thanks to in-kernel mpdecision and power collapse. I recently went back to stock for about an hour last week after nearly a year on various CM nightlies, and found the stock JB TouchWiz image to be virtually unusable. To be fair, this was not the debloated one, but with the nine months of constant refinement since the JB Stock image came out, CM blazes along on this phone in my experience.

Thanks, will definetely give this a try over the weekend. Any specific date to download or just the latest?
The only thing I'm worried about is upgrdes: if I install my programs, preferences, settings, are they overwritten when you install a new CM distro?

Generally you can flash cm over cm with no effects on your installed programs.
Going from stock to cm is a different matter though

I hear you! I feel like I have a new phone. Stock seems like a 2011 phone. Excellent work, thanks - worth every step.
Just two quick questions:
1-i was rooted/i had superuser in my stock. I lost that with cm i guess. Sholud i re flash SU with cwm or is there a simple way?
2-also, i was sim unlocked. Is this still there in my phone?
Thanks again!!

Super user is included in cm see settings. If it doesn't work you can flash a su program with cwm.
Sim unlock should be permanent

What about if you're flashing from a much earlier CM?
Like back when it was the 3.0 kernel in May?

[Q] Rom advise please

Hi Guys,
I have just brought a TF700, and I have set up 3 user profiles, but it is very unstable even after i have disabled all of the unused apps.
From what I have been reading it would appear my best option is to put a custom rom on it.
Now i have achieved this kind of thing in the past as I put Android on a HTC HD2 many moons ago.
I currently have a HTC One and i love the OS on that which is 4.3, so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a 4.3 Rom that is fairly close to what i have on the HTC One for my TF700.
Thanks in advance

You didn't say which rom you put on your HTC
CM 10.2 emulates JB 4.3, I believe Paranoid and OMNI ROM also have 4.3 versions, but most of the devs seem to have moved on to KitKat (CM11), but it still seems to be somewhat buggy and slow at this point.
You find the threads in the development section

Thanks for coming back.
I haven't changed anything on my HTC One at moment because I am more than happy with how it is performing.
I will take a look, but once again thanks.

I have been looking at various threads, but I am still a bit undecided on which way to go.
Anyone else that has wanted to update to 4.3 have any tips or advise for me?
I wouldnt mind eventually going down the 4.4 route, but as I have only just got the tablet - I would firstly like to flash it to something more stable than it currently is.
Many Thanks

What really could help to speed up your TF700t is a factory restart.
For me it was really helping a lot .... even if i am right now "only" on rooted stock FW.
Try this as well.

I have only just brought it, and it was back to factory default, but I did it agin before puting all my apps that I wanted on.
And it was very slow and unstable then, but I then disabled all of the preinstalled apps that I didnt want to use, and it is better, but because I have heard that 4.3 does use less memory I still think it would be worth a try.

I am not sure why you think 4.3 is so much better than 4.2.1. AFAIK that was not a major update or improvement....
If you are looking for a fast and totally stable rom for this tablet, go for CROMi-X! It's based on the Asus firmware 4.2.1 for this tablet, so everything is optimized for THIS device. CM roms are generic. They run a on a multitude of devices - that's why you have more bugs and conflicts

Not that I'm aware of. It was a pretty minor upgrade. Kit Kat 4.4 offers far more interesting features.

Thats fair enough.
I have to admit I like the look of the 4.3 more, but decided to upgrade to the CROMi-X one, and then wait for the 4.4 - which I did last night and I am very impressed - it is loads smoother.
So Thanks for your advise.

Nahhh - only tried it as ROM2SD. And it's still sleeping on some of my sd cards.
I was not impressed. CM didn't add anything but eye candy (I didn't care for) and I think by now CROMi-X in conjunction with Xposed modules (if you care for those and the performance hit they come with) gives you way more options to customize this tablet than CM.... not even mentioning your tweaks!

CROMi-X is just the nickname for CROMi-Xenogenesis (who wants to write that all the time???). CROMi 3.5 would be just a minor step up from what yo got now...
Latest and greatest version of CROMi-X is 5.2.4. But you are on an outdated bootloader and no doubt an old recovery.
So head over to the CROMi-X thread, grab the bootloader/TWRP package sbdags provided in the OP and download the rom (dl both to your microSD)
Boot into TWRP and do a Factory Wipe - that will wipe your apps, but not your data (but you got everything backed up anyway, right????)
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package and reboot
Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM

What's the lightest\fastest rom available? (XT1550)

Hi everyone, so, i JUST got a New G3 2 days ago, and i have it unlocked, there is just too many Roms and they are not really sorted to know which is optimized best for what. tho i have the 2Gb Variant, it does noticeably lag in the UI and general use, and that's worrying me because the phone is still brand new, i only have TWO apps installed (whatsapp & instagram) and when i open whatsapp for example, i just see a white screen for like 3 seconds before it opens, instagram also works fine for like 3 min, but if i just scroll down too far a while, it starts lagging horribly then force close, i had 5.1 LP, then upgraded to MM 6.0, it was even slower and worse battery, so i downgraded back to 5.1, so i want to get a custom Rom but a light Rom to help with performance best than anything else.
thanks in advance.

Try Cyanogenmod 13 first. It's the "barebones" experience if you couple it with Opengapps Pico or Nano. That's what I use on my 1Gb variant and it works splendidly. The battery usage can be minimized with some apps like Amplify and Greenify. (Look for "Extreme battery guide" on XDA, there's a really good guide there)

Try Krexus-CAF it's lightweight and fast

Any aosp based ROM + firekernel + govtuner (avoid cyanogenmod) and I lf you want to have an adventure install microG (lightweight replacement for gapps)

FYI... Almost all of our ROMs are based on CM because there is no other working device tree. Even the "AOSP" roms are CM at their core on this device.

Not disagreeing with you... But there are no roms for the G3 or Turbo that are not borrowing the rom core from CM, except modified stock roms. They may say "AOSP" but the core is borrowed from CM and everything else is built on top of it.
Personally, I would love to see Purity, Chroma, or Plain-Andy make it to our device, but knowing they would still have an underlying CM base is almost insulting.
