Anyone know if they make any ROMs that are ACTUALLY STABLE for the XT926? I just unlocked my bootloader and I've tried 3 ROMs so far and NONE of them are stable. Tried CM10.1, that just randomly reboots every 5 minutes. Xenon won't display menu buttons in anything and when I play anything from Google Music it skips ahead every 20 seconds. Just tried Carbon, and that won't even go past the unlocked bootloader screen. lol. I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format /system, and wipe dalvik before I flash.

Cm 10.1 is one of the most stable roms. Your doing something wrong. What recovery are you using?

Are u using TWRP as your recovery? I've flashed all of those ROMs with TWRP and not had a single issue you mentioned. Most ROMs out right now are fairly stable, with only small issues like BT audio, GPS icon, and HDMI bugs. Practically all of them at least load correctly and do not bootloop. Make sure you have the fairly recent nightlies (some nightlies that are too recent might have something broken that hasn't been addressed or even realized yet), usually something from the past week or so is good. Check the forums to see which builds are currently working or having issues. (Try going right to the last page of the forum and read what ppl are saying about the latest nightly and if there are any issues, or an earlier nightly that is working without those issues).
The only thing I'm noticing about your post that might be a problem is you didn't list that you wipe data. Make sure your doing that...
Also, make sure you're rooted b/c your post says unlocked but not rooted.
Good luck!

I have not had an issue with any of the roms mentioned. With xenon you have to go into the settings and enable the menu. That is not a stability issue and it is addressed in the thread many times.

Eclipse is awesome and very stable, PAC ROMs are also really good and stable but some minor bugs due to it being 4.2.2. And I'm currently on Liquid Smooth and its IMO the best DD for me.

I use wipe data/factory reset. I accidentally posted it as wipe cache/factory reset. I am using CWM. Only reason I didn't flash TWRP recovery is cuz it says "unofficial". I've never really had any ROM ever work good enough to be a daily driver, and I've flashed 50+ between all of the devices I've owned. There's always at least some little thing that doesn't work right.

This ROM is sick so far. I've used this one on my GNex, but it always crapped out after about a week and I'd get random reboots or something like that. So far, absolutely no problems, and now my BT NEVER skips, like it always did on stock JB. I also don't have to wait almost a full 20 seconds to be able to scroll through my recent apps like stock JB. I was hoping for a 4.2.2 ROM to work, but this is good enough for me! Thanks!

I've never had luck with CM EVER, this just continues the streak. I've used CM 7, 8, 9, 10, and now 10.1. I always feel like they cram so many customization's into it that it just craps out.

Yeah, I eventually did that, but for some reason any music I played on Google Play Music would skip 5 seconds ahead about every 20 seconds, which is just unacceptable since I have All Access. And I'm not about to use BubbleUPnP as a workaround.

both stock, rooted stock, and rooted custom rom (tried cm10 and eos). Horribly laggy even at 1.6ghz. Running the latest twrp recovery (2.3.1.0), also tried a few variations of cwm. I think it's a read/write speed issue. Any idea what I can do? It started with Jellybean, I'm flashing CM9 to test that theory out now.
edit - it's just on jellybean roms. I'm running cm9 rc2 now and it's blazing fast.
edit 2 - maybe not. it seems to lag a lot while installing apps.

I agree doing a FULL Wipe.. then I would suggest Not adding back your apps all at once. Add them in one of two at a time because your system may have become slow due to a poorly written application. If your system becomes noticeably slow you can then remove the last app you installed, reboot the system and test the result. Good Luck.
TBH my JB lags more than ICS. Related?
I dont know if its my phone or what but I haven't had any luck with AOSP ROMS on this phone. It seems like there's always some sort of bug that just kills it. I flashed a CM10.2 rom that felt like speed of lightning but was bugging out. I tried ecilpse and some others but all were to buggy for me. I recently tried to flash liquid cause I wanted to run something else other than touchwiz but it ruined my phone and now I cant flash custom ROMS(i have a help thread up..feel free).. Anyone else having bad luck on these AOSP ROMS
Not what you want to hear, but I'm having no issues with flashing new ROMs. I'm only using LiquidSmooth and waiting/hoping for a 'complete' 4.3 version, but again, no problems with flashing to a new ROM. I have been running LS2.9 (4.2.2) for several weeks and on Sunday flashed up to LS2.10 (4.3) but went back to 2.9 because when I mirror my phone on my AppRadio3, it doesn't auto-rotate my screen to landscape, so I have a portrait orientation of my phone on the radio display, which makes it so small as to be unusable.
I don't recall what method I used to root my phone, but I'm using TWRP 2.6.3 to perform a) a clean wipe every time (Factory Reset + System), then b) install the new ROM, and c) a final reboot back in to recovery and flash the latest gapps image. Does it take a little longer to follow this process? Sure, but it's a reliable process that means I don't have issues afterwards to mess with, so the extra time spent on the front end is worth it to me.
I've had moderate success with the AOSP ROMS. Each one seems to have it's own small bugs, but the AOSP ROMs that I've tried didn't have anything that ruined functionality. Been running Dirty Unicorn ROM for the past couple days and it is really solid. Haven't noticed any issues at all with it yet.
It's got to be your downloads or install process. Do you check MD5? If no then start. Remember just wipe data for each install. Updater-script in ROM zip wipes system for you. Cache resides in data. Do NOT restore system data using TiBu. Other than that I don't know what else to tell ya bud :/

Haven;t had any trouble with AOSP flashes, but many of the ROMs or maybe most have some bugs. All the so called AOSP ROMs are built off the same base, CM10. None of them support all the hardware and software features that Tocuhwiz supports. I find the custom TW ROMs far superior in features and as good or better in speed as well.
Make sure you are flashing a compatible Kernel when you switch between CM based ROMs and TW based
The Problem/Symptoms: I've been running a version of last CM10.2 for the past year. On February 20th, I was able to send a single SMS and then subsequent texts failed. I could still receive SMS, send/receive MMS, send/receive calls and send/receive data. If I toggle airplane mode/reboot I can send another SMS and then subsequent sms are undeliverable.
What wont work: Flashing to CM11 does not change the issue.
Disabling Voice+ does not change the issue
Factory Reset does not change the issue
Workarounds: Toggle Airplane mode
Switching Mobile Network to CDMA only (not permanent)
Change your number to a different area code
Going back to a Touchwiz based ROM
The Solution
net-cat said:
Alright. I think I've refined my process and it results in having a newer radio as well as not having to ODIN things or do dd commands.
NOTE: This isn't fully tested. When I did this, my phone wasn't showing the issue. I did this after doing my original procedure, but the GPS stopped working after I updated the radio from VRALF2 to VRBMB1. You shouldn't need to do the original procedure for this to work, but I haven't tested that. At the very least, the original procedure still works and this one can be used afterward if you need the newer radio. (GSM support...)
Ideally, we'll want to get to a procedure that doesn't use ODIN or dd. Hopefully this is a step in that direction.
Requirements:
A rooted stock ROM of the VRUCML1/4.3 vintage. I used Scott's Stock Rooted Knox Free VRUCML1 - 4.3 - DeOdex - V2. (Thread here.)
VRBMB1 AIO Flash, available here. (Thread here.)
I'm going to assume you know how to boot into and use recovery.
NOTE: Do NOT let the stock ROM install any updates.
Starting with my CM11 M3 install, I did a nandroid backup. (Recovery is CWM Touch 6.0.4.5, but I doubt that matters.)
Flash the VRBMB1 AIO.
Wipe data and cache.
Flash the stock ROM.
Boot into the stock ROM.
The reprovisioning seems to happen as a part of ROM's initial boot up.
Send a few text messages to test. (I sent them to Twitter.)
Launch the Maps application, turn on your GPS and let it get a lock. If you don't, when you boot back into your ROM, you probably won't have working GPS.
This would be a good time to back up your IMEI if you haven't already done so.
Reboot into your recovery, wipe data/cache and restore your nandroid backup.
At this point, you'll be running your preferred ROM with a less archaic radio than my previous post.
DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR RADIO. The moment I upgraded my radio, the problem came back!
CM11 M3 will work just fine with the old radio. I've rebooted several times over the last few hours and it still works fine. (Time will tell if it's a long term fix or not.)

If this does/doesn't work for you please post and let the community know. Feel free to hit the thanks button if it works for you.
This exact thing happened to me. I tried many fixes with no luck. After hours of hacking around in settings, I found a ROM of verizon's 4.3 OTA update and flashed that through ODIN. My texts are working just fine again. Kind of a cheap method of fixing my problem. I wish I could have taken more time to find a fix, but I needed to be able to communicate with people that day.
Stock 4.3 is kind of lame:
-4.3 is killing my battery faster than ever. CM11 had me going for days without charging and now I've needed to charge everyday.
-Stock 4.3 is laggier/slower than CM11. It tends to stutter for me.
-4.3 came with a new boot loader which no developers have exploited to install custom ROMs yet. This leaves you stuck with Verizon bloat. I hate all these damn apps. Going to try to safe root & see if I can't do some cleanup work.
Enough ranting. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone with this problem. Hopefully someone will figure it out. Missing my cyanogen mod already
It seems this problem has happened on other phones also running Cyanogenmod. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654822
It looks like the symptoms have all showed up at the same time approximately. (February 19th, 2014). Still looking for a better answer than going back to stock TW...
Edit: And another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659280 This one suggests its all AOSP roms. But it seems many people are unaffected... I don't understand why/how.

SO this is the current status that I know.
The problem happens for everyone with a 570/717 area codes + on verizon + running Cyanogenmod (possibly any AOSP) + while connected to LTE which started on Feb 20th (the day before KitKat came out offically).
Current Workarounds:
Switch to TouchWiz based Roms
Switch your radios to be CDMA only
Call verizon and switch your number to a different area code
I know the workarounds all suck but that all I know for now. Switching SIM cards won't work. If I anyone knows anything more please feel free to let me know.

I have still be unable to find a solution for this issue. I think I have to give up on CM and go back to a TW based. If I hear anything new I'll update the post but I don't have the time to be wasting on my phone at the moment. If someone finds or hears of a fix or if it magically goes away as it started, please post it.
And spread the word if there are any other ROMs that this is occurring on. It seems the pool of those affected is just too small.
I have already had to give up. Been running slows tw. I take it Verizon didn't get back to you?

It won't. It isn't software dependent. People who had already flashed builds prior to the 20th magically had issues starting on that date, so it isn't a problem with new builds, and it only happens to those in the 717-570 areas so it isn't a problem with AOSP code. It has to be a Verizon network issue, I just have no idea how.

I have run TW base roms almost 100% of the time. Prior to the 20th, I had flashed cm11 3 or 4 times to see if camera worked and was never on it more than a day. I also had issues where music in my sd card wasn't being found but it was fine on TW. Could it be the unified build causing an issue? I have no issues on Clean Rom 8, wicked sensations or old and slows stock based roms.
*Edit* I have installed Gummy and CM 11 with PA Mini Modular apps and the CM Gapps from Invisiblek, let it set up. I then shut it down, removed battery and sim and then put everything back in and still the same issue. 1st text message goes through, then the rest after that just fail. I tried regular message app, Hangouts and Verizon messaging. All same results. I go back to my CR8 backup and all is fine. It's bizarre because everything else seems to be working fine and is very fast & smooth.

It can't be an issue with the unified builds because going back and flashing an older build yields the same results. If you're willing to make the trade-off, you can set your phone to CDMA only. Texts will send, but you'll have no 3G or 4G.
I'm ok with using CR8, Beans or other stock roms. Can't see paying for LTE and not using it lol. Was curious to see how aosp has been coming along and sms was really the only issue I was having.

Basically. I've talked to a few friends who have worked for carriers and stuff, and everyone is stumped as to how something like this can even happen. Luckily I'm pretty much always in WiFi so I can survive on CDMA only.
I love Cyanogenmod, very much so. I downloaded the stable 10.1 build for my phone and it was mostly rock solid. When 10.2.1 come around I was pumped. I downloaded it and immediately encountered force closes out the bum. I switched back and a month later tried again. It was a slightly better experience as I realized I forgot to flash the 4.3 Gapps with my original attempt, but force closes cluttered my screen daily. I want to be able to upgrade, but the ROM just seems completely unstable for my phone. Has anyone experienced these things on their phone? Has anyone fixed these problems? Can anyone recommend the most stable and most up-to-date ROM even though stable and up-to-date rarely go hand in hand.

Look in the CM11 thread, the nightlies are pretty stable for the most part and most us using it use it as a daily driver. You MUST perform a full wipe when installing a ROM, even when moving between point releases. If not, you'll encounter problems. GApps must also be flashed after the ROM has been flashed (assuming you want to use Google)

Yeah I figured that I need to wipe everything and install the proper GApps after my first attempt at 10.2 which to my credit I did do on my second try. Is there a particular nightly release that seems more stable than the rest? To put this in more context, I travel alone from college to various other places often a bit and my college is situated in almost a black hole of service for Verizon so I tend to take reliability over cutting edge even though I very badly want the newest and greatest. I'm on spring break so I'll try the newest nightly and back up my phone. Luckily I have a ton of space on my phone so I can always have a stable back up ready to be flashed on the fly.

By their very nature, Nightlies are not considered stable in the strictest sense of the word. For most of us, they have been. But if you need reliability over cutting-edge, I'd stick with 10.2 or one of the CM11 Milestone builds (however, the RAZR HD only has one that I know of, CM11-M2).
My personal take is that given you're in an area with poor reception, choosing CM11 over CM10.2 (for example) wouldn't give you any better results over the other. Signal is signal.
My suggestion, given your circumstances and criteria, would be to stick with 10.2 but do a FULL backup via Recovery of your stock ROM (or whatever you're using instead of CyanognMod) and then do a FULL wipe of the following (and only these):
- user data
- /system partition
- /cache partition
- dalvik cache (usually found under Advanced in CWM recoveries)
Your phone will be in an unusable state after this. From here, still in Recovery, flash CM10.2 and then the appropriate GApps (make sure you choose the right one; a 4.4.2 GApps isn't suitable for a 4.3 OS) and reboot. If memory serves, CM10.2 is Android 4.3.1
If you're still having problems, you can restore your backup in Recovery or worst case, RSDLite the appropriate SBF for your phone to return to the carrier-stock ROM. But be aware if you chose the RSDLite path, you will lose everything. Basically it'll be like day-1 when you got the phone

Try leaving it turned on in recovery mode (CWM). If it still reboots, then you have a hardware issue. If it stays stable, I would blame the ROM and try a different version or a different distro.

Thanks for the reply,
I don't think it is a hardware issue as it never did this when I had Jelly Bean or even the last time I had Kit Kat, never know though! Also, I will try to leave it in recovery and see if it does it but a few questions:
-What is "distro" (does it has to do with the OS of the phone?)
-Is there some ROM you could recommend to me for this phone that is stable.. When I install the beanstalk ROM there are like 10 to choose from, I'm guessing they are all older/newer versions!?
-Finally something I was wondering for the longest time but wasn't sure of is can I go back to say, Jelly Bean? Or is it "irreversible"?
Thanks again, glad there's people out there who can help the noobs like me!

Methinks it is the specific ROM. I call the different types of OM out there distributions (or "distros" - in light of what is commonly used in the Linux world), but there may be a better term. It could be the version of Beanstalk you are using, it could be any version of BeanStalk with your phone. Hard to say.
In light of above, I would try CarbonROM. I tried it out briefly, and haven;t had a problem with it (and have heard no issues form the guy I sold the phone to with it installed).
But if you want to go back to JellyBean, there is still a version of 4.2 kicking around (CM 10.1) in the development threads. You can downgrade, at worst you may have to ODIN back to stock. But try to flash in CWM first. I was quite satisfied with that version. My biggest gripe is that the mobile data quick setting didn't work fully (but the long way around did). There is CM 10.2 as well, but I could never get that one installed on my phone (installer would break). Between the two, I would try 10.1 (and if you cannot find a copy, I can dropbox it to you).

YES!
So, after I left the phone in CWM for 25 minutes or so and it being fine I decided to get Carbon as I seen in your "signature" that you had that ROM on your Infuse, it has been good for 2 hours+, looking good! I guess it was the Beanstalk ROM after all.
Thanks for the downgrading information as well, wasn't sure if you could downgrade or what would happen!
Finally, what is flashing? (I could google it but since your here, could you give me a noob friendly definition!?)
Thanks for all your help

Went to reply about the camera issue and notice it was no longer in the post. Glad you got it sorted.
So flashing, as I understand it, is just another term for installing something via recovery. Not sure of the origin, maybe have something to do with installing to flash memory.

Ah ok, so it's essentially as I thought it was. I thought I was doing something wrong in terms of "flashing" but guess not! Sounds like it should just be called "Installing custom ROM".. !
Yeah, in terms of the camera thing, I'm an idiot and had USB storage turned on *facepalm*, So it wouldn't let me open the camera app!

I am not sure if you are still facing the same issue but if you are facing reboots, then considering doing a fresh install after cleaning your internal storage as well since the remnants of the apps from previous installs have caused me problems. Ever since I started doing a fresh install (Factory reset, wiping the cache, wiping the dalvik cache and even the cache partition along with the wiping of the internal storage), there have been no reboot issues.
