Stability of all these JB Roms

I am running the latest version of ICS. I tried the CM10 rom but found that it was unstable and had a lot of things missing or not working compared to ICS. Anyway, with all the JB Roms popping up in the past few weeks,are there any out there that are better or more stable? I have been waiting for AT&T to release JB for HOC but as usual they are taking forever. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Viper3.1 and it doesn't get much better than that. It's my opinion though. I would also suggest CM10.1. I loved it but I personally got an odd glitch where my screen would go black but the phone was still on, as were the capacitive buttons.
Anyone here is going to give you opinions. It's truly up to you to pick. The 2 I listed are great ROMS, stable and have awesome developers who stay on top of things.

I don't expect the AT&T version of JB to be substantially different (probably just more bloat and annoying AT&T branding all over the ROM, really) than any of the stock rooted Sense JB ROMs in Development, or custom ROMs based on those build. So flash one of those and be done with it.

In my opinion you're not going to find anything coming from AT&T as far as JB that's going to be better than the ROMS in development. If anything they are far better. Download a bunch, try them out and stick with the one you like best.

King Kang is super stable for me. Everything works.

King Kang has been the most stable I've tried. Pretty much every rom I've seen on here is livable though. I'm on CM10.1 now and I haven't had any real problems.

[Q] IS CM stable worth to install?

Hi there mates,
I finally decided to dump the stock ROM and give it a try on custom one.
After reading a bit i think i'm starting to like Cyanogen, but since i want a good stable ROM i appreciated some opinions form anyone who is using it.
1st and really important: my stock ROM does not have any of the know issues (deep sleep probs, random reboots, battery drains etc...) so anyone know if CM 9.x stable have any of this issues?
2nd does everything work? In the CM forums i found no one complaining with "loosing" functionality's but i would like to ear from anyone that uses this on a daily basis. (i found a lot of people complaining with encryption problem and bad flashing but not about Wifi radio, camera, etc...)
3rd: Is this the best choice to use on a daily basis? Or there is a better/more stable/more fluid Rom?
Thanks to all.

Most of the CM 10.x ROMs are pretty stable and usable. I am a fan of the KatKiss ROMs. 4.2.2 has the best functionality, but the 4.3 variant is not bad. The only thng that does not work for me is camera on Skype.

+1 for KatKiss #226

Thks for the info but now im confused...
You mentioned that Skype cant use the front cam. Is that on CM stable roms or the KatKiss ones? Im asking because i use skype a lot and that is an issue to me. :/

On KatKiss 4.3 the camera do t work for me. The CM 10 and 10.1 ROMs and KatKiss 4.2.2 it worked fine. I have not tried any CM 10.2 ROMs.

Hmmm, if I did it was a while ago. CM 9 is based on ICS. I have not run an ICS ROM for more than a few hours in over a year. I would say that the Jelly Bean based ROMs (CM10.X) feel SO much faster due to project butter. I flashed back to stock ICS a bit ago, and it feels so sluggish.
Most of the threads on CM 10 you can see how stable they are. I know the No-Name CM 10.1 is rock solid. Joesteink has moved on, but the ROM is still rock solid and many users swear by it.

Is CM finally stable? I had it installed a year or so ago, but then it was still beta for the transformer. Since then I used various flavors and eventually stayed with the EOS-build. Very stable with all the options I ever need (like overclocking and gouvenor-changing). I'm still using EOS, since it's stable and performing very well. Katkiss seems to be the continuation of it, so you could try it yourself And if you don't like it, then you drop it for something else

CM Mod?

So Who all prefers to run CM mod over the stock firmware? I`ve never been a fan of it but I loaded it on my Nexus 5 earlier and things seem a lot snappier how stable is it? Im running the latest Snapshot, and I like the idea that I can update without wiping. I`ve just never been a fan of it due to Ive always like say the G2 skins and such.

If your running m2 you should flash the latest nightly, there were kernel issues that have been fixed and things are pretty sweet right now, i was a little skeptical about the direction the rom was going at first but I'm really happy with it in its current state

Is CM Stable Enough?

So I've just been running a stock rooted flashable ROM nothing else. I want to have CM or a CM based ROM due to easy updating etc.. Anyway I'm ocd when it comes to what's on my phone I just don't want any bugs or issues.

Yes, CM and most other roms found in Android development forums are stable enough to be used as a daily driver. But obviously you will face fcs sometimes!
Why don't you try it out? If you're not happy with it, just restore the nandroid backup!

Don't use nightlies, use release candidates or releases those will be the most stable. I think the snapshot would be your best bet or read the CM thread and see what problems users are reporting if anything.

There are more ROMs besides CM. Those Devs work hard and don't want to be overlooked just because CM is the most well-known aftermarket ROM.

Depends how picky you are regarding stability/daily driver of a phone.
If you want to play it safe, just root phone and install Xposed + GravityBox.
If you want to explorer more capabilities, go with a stable build of CM.
However, from my past experience with CM/custom roms, it's really all random. I've had unstable experiences even on a stable CM build, and I've had fairly stable daily driver of a rom when using nightlies too. It's really all a gamble.
Always make backups.
But I will say from where you are coming at, I'd try the Xposed framework + GravityBox 1st before you attempt going CM.

I'm using CM11 snapshot M3 and it's working fine for me. No bugs so far. Give it a shot.

Thats what I'm currently doing... Lol. I only use the status bar signal colours and nothing else. I like stock with a little changes.

I too recommend gravity box, but give cm a shot, Just back up, play around with CM, if you don't like it just restore, good as new :good:
I'll be flashing the latest nightly right now, 3-5-14
I'm a little OCD myself, I dislike having all those Play Apps to be honest lol, :silly:

You can play it safe with multirom manager. Use it to keep your current rom and dual boot into other rom to test them out. That's what I'm doing.

I'm for GravityBox + stock honestly. Xposed gives me all the tweaks I really need.

IMO yes it is very stable. I've chosen to run PA purely because I love Pie. They are all very stable these days, only the ones which say that they are unstable are unstable.
Devs and contribs are getting pretty good
Sent from my Nexus 5 running PA 4.1 and franco.kernel

Monthly, release candidates and releases are stable.
+1 to avoid nightlies w/out nandroid backup.
for example all of the nightlies sincd 03/01 breaking google dialer and voice+.

Chose stable custom rom for my sis

Hello people
My sister is considering flashind custom rom on her SGS Advance. And because I'm not familiar with Samsung devices (I have two Sony :>)
I would like to ask you to help me chose the most stable and fully functional custom ROM.
At the moment she has stock JB installed but it has some freezes and doesn't run very well.
What can you recommend? It doesn't have to be the nevest android.
I think I would chose between SkimKat 4.4, CyanogenMod 11 by Team Canjica and VanirAOSP 4.4.4. I know those are very good custom roms.
Can you tell me if there are any issues with those? like reboots, not working features?

If you say custom ROMs, there is no ROM which is bug free but there are stable ROMs.
Stability depends on how and what you use. All 4.4 ROMs have reached to a state where you can use them for daily use.
I am Using CM11 nightly 20140614 and dont have any problems.
All the ROMs have their dev and Q/A threads, you can check them for the most stable builds and the working/non working functionality.

Try the latest vanir aosp its fast, fluid and stable...
For me its the most stable rom yet

Well SlimKat seems to be bugless.
VanirAOSP has some bugs with SystemUI

Go for the slimkat(final). It's the smoothest, fastest rom for our phone.

Test all roms to see which rom fit for you

CM 10.1
Wysłane z WOO-Phablecika 4.2.2...

Vanir is the best!

AOKP 4.2.2 by PV after uninstalling and reinstalling calendar is stable.
Wysłane z AOKP-fonika 4.2.2...

I'd have to go with Vanir. Everything just works and lag is virtually non-existent. The only downside I can see is slightly shorter battery life (could be just my phone though). One advantage that i love is it has it's own updater so it's not much of a hassle to get the latest fixes and improvements!
Another option for her would be to stay with stock JB bit change her kernel to CoCore.

More performance = more battery drain.

@lozohcum : How old is she? She want a girl theme too?

After testing almost every ROM, i think that CM10.1 is the most stable(with good battery backup)...

Liquid smooth 3.2 smooth as liquid with all customizations
just battery backup is 15 to 17 hr is matter

Yeah, you should try this. Cm 10.1 is awesome!

I think u can choose between VanirAOSP or AOSP from j.team.. The last one is disscontinued but its 90% finished and 100% stable.
U can choose one of them, or, simpli, test both because testing is the only (exactly) way to know if ROM is for you (or sister).
See all!
