Hello, I'm new to kernels and know not much about them except you can flash them like roms but, exactly where can I find a place with the most reliable kernels and if so, which one would be the best in terms of giving me the greatest/fastest performance? & also another different kernel that offers great performance as well as great battery life? (Running CM 10.1 stable on GS3, T-999)

Actually no one can give you an apt answer rather than yourself for which is the best. You may have to try yourself to know which is the best kernel, just like your try ROMs. Go to your device forum, pick up the most active kernel threads, read comments and feedbacks from members in the thread and you can try after getting an initial idea about the same.

How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.
Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.
Ty.

I just bought the nexus5 today and i wanted to ask which rom is best for performance and stable too. Needs to be clean and very like stock.
I will be using franco kernel too i think.
Hi,
Wrong section, question in general..., http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477886.
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477889.
The best is to try by yourself and see which one suits your needs, read also the OP of each rom thread to have an idea about features, looks like stock, etc... You can't choose for you, with the lack of informations you provide the stock rom seems good for you...
I know this isn't an important question but does anyone have a favourite ROM that they would like to share? I currently run Cyanogenmod 12 but I'm not so keen on the no service problem.

There is nothing called good ROM / best ROM / favourite ROM
One thing I can suggest
Head over to development section. Try yourself Few ROMs so that you will get a feel of the ROMs performance, stability, features.
To know more info about any ROMs here is the tip.
1. Read 1 post of ROMs development thread once, twice or trice
2. Read at least 3 last pages of the same development thread so that u can know about problems, new features etc.
NB : in fact best ROMs / best kernel are threads restricted in xda

Stock rom + gravity box
lollipop Stock rom by lost101 is great in battery backup and performance you can use gravitybox to tweak the rom for your needs :good:
optimized 1.2a is good
Hello, i didn't find any answer so here's my question :
ROM :
What's the differences between 2 customs ROM ?
I mean, i have seen like 10 different ROM based on the same android version but i don't see any difference.
Why shouldn't I stay on Cyanogen ? I don't get it.
Kernel :
I think i kind of understand the benefit on a custom kernel (overclock, maybe better battery life ?) but isn't it too risky ?
How does kernel compatibility work ? Is it based on an Android version ? Do 5.0.0 kernel will be compatible with a 5.1.1 version ?
Do you really feel the difference compared to the stock cyanogen one ?
And my last question will be : does cyanogen 12 (and 12.1) have OTA update or do i have to flash new zip every day ?
Thanks !!

The ROMs might look the same but they're not. Features are implemented in different ways, plus there's a lot of unique code that you don't see which can affect many things, like speed and battery life. Also, you'll find that different ROMs have different feature sets. All in all it's up to you to decide which one is best for you, so have a look through them and pick one to test out. If you don't like it you can always flash another.
Custom kernels can offer extra features like overclocking, undervolting, fast charge while connected to a usb power source. There are risks involved, like if you overclock it can reduce the long term life of your CPU, undervolting too much will lead to instability.
CM12 (and 12.1) are nightlies which means there's a new build every day to update to (if you choose). You can either flash them manually or download via the OTA system. Not all ROMs have the OTA system.

Thank you very much !!
Maybe i should dig more into the ROM's topic because their customs features are not listed anywhere.. That's too bad ^^
Do you know if all the gestures are implemented on CM 12 / 12.1 (not only double tap but all of them) ?

Yes, as far as I know the gestures are implemented, they have been on all ROMs that I've tried anyway.

There are various differences between stock CM kernel and custom kernels, far too many for me to go into. Honestly though, the difference in battery life really isn't all that much. I never use a custom kernel and I still get great battery life.

Hi,
I know that this is going to be a very subjective question, but can anyone suggest a super slick Rom for my Motorola 4G LTE?
I tried CyanogenMod but did not fair to well with it - some lag and increased battery usage.
I really need something super lightweight and prefer function over nice looks.
It seems that three of the best contenders for this phone are Carbon, Paranoid Android and SlimKat - can anyone perhaps point me the direction of which one to use (or indeed suggest anything even better)?
Thanks very much.

roms which you suggested above their, development has been stopped mostly or has been inactive for 9-10 months. You may try Resurrection Remix rom .

CM 12.1 is very slim, if you just use the smallest package for gapps.
greetings
Thank you both for that - I might have to try both suggestions and see which works best for me. (I am currently using CM 13, which might be the reason I am having problems).
It is very interesting that abhi0502 has mentioned flashing the Kernel - this is something I was not even aware of until now.
How does flashing a Kernel and flashing the ROM tie in with each other? I always thought that a new ROM would automatically provide its own version of the kernel.

yes it has own kernel but if battery and performance is not good as expected you can flash kernel (that is the reason i have rooted the phone.) You can flash kernel with cm13 currently and see if performance improves. But its always recommend for clean flash (Rom+kernel+gapps) to avoid errors
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks for the advice above.
I did try flashing the kernel as suggested but it kept causing my phone to randomly reboot - although it did not work well for me on this particular occasion, I shall definitely start experimenting with other kernel's in the future.
As suggested I wiped and reinstalled Resurrection Remix with the smallest version of gapps and not only is my phone massively more responsive, but the battery improvements are really noticeable.
Thanks again.
