[Q] best AOSP ROM for this phone?

I've been running CarbonROM (03/16 nightly) and as much as I love it, I always seem to see issues with it with the screen freezing to the point where I have to pull the battery to fix it.
Can anyone recommend an AOSP ROM that is extremely reliable?

AOKP is alright when I tried it a while
ago (a month?). How much changed then?

That is a small issue, but it's not that bad by any means. I just don't like Touchwiz being all bloated. Lol

KT's kernel always caused random reboots for sure. Any build wouldn't be any different. Anyways, I'm enjoying the 16th right now. But if it keeps freezing, then I'll try the 15th.

I cant stand bloat either but with kids I have to be able to hear the voices and or singing. Aosp video is near silent except for when I talk lol.

Which MR build would you recommend?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

The most stable ROMs I have found are clean rom for TW. Scott UK so always one of the first to update to new builds. As far as AOSP, I really like Liquid Smooth. Really quick, light weight and one of the few 4.2.2 ROMs with the ability to save pics directly to the SD card, which for me is a deal breaker if not included.

I know about CleanROM (and have it backed up). I don't like liquid because of the use of nova launcher. Call me picky, but I prefer having an independent launcher over NOVA, which I can just download anyday.

If you are looking for stable and reliable avoid nightlies. I have found slim rom, rootbox, carbon and liquid to all be extremely stable if you stick to their "stable" releases. The nightlies will give you cutting edge features but those features will introduce bugs and quirks as well.
For me, every time I get off Slim I end up back on it within a week. Love it.

I've tried Slim and I just don't really like it as much as Carbon or Liquid. Right now, Liquid is the best ROM I've ever used followed by AOKP. Carbon's stables still have rebooting issues (haven't rebooted once on Liquid yet and I've ran it for 2 days now).

Lightest Rom?

Hi.
My Nexus S is kinda slow now and it cam be embarrassing sometimes.
I only use my phone for Google music, Tunein radio, podcasts, email and basic internet.
I was looking the other day to see what was eating my memory up and I noticed things that I don't use any more like twitter apps and stuff that I will never use like Google play books and play movies.
I am rooted and using a tweaked kernel, but I'm still using stock ROM. I think this weekend that will change.
I'm not interested in overclocking, just a little bit more quickness and stability.
Can anyone recommend a good kernel and ROM combo.
Kernel must have voodoo sound.
Cheers.

If you want blazing fast rom try Metal Dragon Overlord, only drawback it's 4.1.2, if you want 4.2.2. rom try Hellybean or CM10.1 nightlies.
Pretty much every kernel's got voodoo sound so that's nothing to worry about.
Rom&kernel combo? - Metal Dragon Overlord, matr1x kernel.

Hi,
Initially I was looking forward to a 4.2.2. ROM but I have read comments about lag after a week or so of using those ROM's. So I may just stick with a 4.1.2. ROM.
Looking for something that I can flash and forgot, something very mature that I can keep on my phone for the next year without thinking about it or getting reboots. Don't want to be flashing a new version every day.
Cheers.

I have had my eye on Rasbean for many many months. I have heard many good things about it. I think I will try that first.
I already have Thalamus kernel running with my stock ROM. Tbh it isn't blazing fast, but I have never had any reboots at all, unlike my brief flirtation with Marmite many months ago.

This is the closest, or one of the closest, to a stock 4.2.2 ROM you can get and it's light, no bloatware. Also if you're using a 4.2.2 ROM, you these mods as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158329
It really increases your performance and doesn't affect battery.

[Q] Custom Rom recommendation

hi!
for the last few month i was on jelly bam rom which is banned here...
the rom is very nice but it seems like the htc one s will not be supported anymore at the moment.... actual version is 8.1 and the one s stucks at 7.7
the devs are not answering any questions about bringing an update again or not what is really annoying.
i´ve actually installed miui v5 which is running really smooth on my phone but i think i´m more the pure android user ....
in the past i´ve tried pacman rom but had some crashes - that´s why i changed to jelly bam.
so do u have any recommendations for me?
thx in advance !

Tried a lot of AOSP Roms in the past (BB, liquid,...) and was on Venom for a couple of weeks. Venom is pretty nice, but I wanted a sense less Rom and 4.2.2. So actually I am on Carbon Rom with the old kernel and its running amazing! Will wait for kernel issues with 3.4 kernel getting fixed and then do an update. I really recommend this Rom

I really love Codename_Lungo. It's simple, fast, and pure. You can choose what apps it comes with. It comes with Contacts, Phone, Messaging, ROM stats, Play Store, Calendar, Google Settings, and Google settings.
Apex is the launcher it's fast and stable and so far is one of my favorites. I've tried so many different ROMs but my top are BB8, Illusions, and Codename_Lungo.

Best set up?

Hello, I ordered the blaze and should be getting it sometime this week. And I would like to know what's the best 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 ROM with stability and performance along with nice features. Also what mods and what kernel?
So happy to be joining this community!

4.2 and 4.3 development is just getting underway. They run very smooth, it just that some things are still broken, like the camera, bln, and few little things. There are workarounds in the specific threads. Im currently running slimbean 4.3. Beanstalk 4.3 is killer too.

Should I try all star liquid smooth?

I see in the CM10 thread this list of bugs:
Known Bugs:
Screen of Death: This is a CM10 bug, many other devices are afflicted, not just the blaze. Many people are working hard to fix this.
UI action sounds may not work at first. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons, the sounds will then work fine. This is a known CM10 bug
BLN is wonky. Working on getting us merged with the stable version native to CM10.
Fixed 20121103+ : WiFi generates a random MAC address with each boot.
Camera: Flash can't be disabled
Camera: Storage location cannot be changed. This isn't really a bug, however if the interest is great enough, I might try and figure out a way to change the system default storage location.
Other things maybe? Discuss in the thread...
Click to expand...

Are all of these bugs still present in the latest builds?

The latest nightly is 99.8% stable. Occasionally occasional people have occasional problems once in a while. Nothing is 100% usually. I've been running it for many months now. Just user ICS camera from the market and set it to use your sd card for saving pics.

I've since moved on from CM10. Not that it wasn't superb, but I went flash happy
I'm currently running Slimbean 4.3 20130905, and I've gotta say its pretty sweet. Its in beta stages so there will be a few bugs, but honestly the only ones I've come across so far is the camera crashes, the torch crashes, and setting performance tweaks cause a reboot. Other than that its buttery smooth. I HIGHLY recommend it, sir. Its a lightweight build for superior performance, and it delivers through and through. Also flash with the minimal gapps build to keep performance nice and creamy. Slimbeam + minimal gapps = 140mgb. Smaller than your average ROM.
I would never steer a fellow android enthusiast in the wrong direction
Flash it and see. You won't be disappointed. But hey, even if you are, just flash another one!!

To be perfectly honest Liquid Smooth gave me some trouble. Even after doing a completely fresh flash it wasn't stable in the least.
That being said it never hurts to give it a shot. I saw somewhere a kernel you could flash possibly fixing any issues you may have with it. Unfortunately it didn't work for me
Slimbean, CM and beanstalk, in my opinion, are where you'll find ultimate performance and creaminess

Not really, the only thing that still exists is the stock camera doesn't have the option to save to the external SD card. Easily fixable by using a camera from the market, like 'ICS camera'.

Who likes Stock CM Mod Better than Stock?

So I`m thinking of making the change over to CM Mod nightlys.
So I have just been running stock 4.4.2 with xposed.
Thinking about just using CM mod nightlys (I read that the nightlys are sometimes more stable than the snapshots)
And things seem nice and quick just playing around but I need something That wont give to many problems How has CM been lately? Also how is OTA updates? are they reliable enough to not have to keep wiping each time theres an update?
Thanks
Also Does Xposed Modules work on CM roms?
And is there a recommended kernel besides using the stock CM One?

There are alot of great roms... Alot better than cm.

Just try it for a while, at the end of the day its just about preference. The CM rom itself is rockstable and the stock kernel performs very well and offers good batterylife.

What this guy said but to add, keep an open mind there are a lot of good ROM's out there. Purity and Mahdi come to mind. On my n4 I used carbon and couldn't wait to flash the next nightly but I got away from that.
I recommend Chaos Kernel since they went CAF or Elemental X has CAF version
