Stable SlimKat build 3.0 released! - General SlimRoms Discussion

We are proud to release the first stable build of SlimKat (build 3.0).
Read the announcement carefully in full here, before flashing: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/news/427-slimkat-stable-3-0

Going back to 4.1.2
I like slimkat as it has very good battery life but many important features which I had in 4.1.2 are gone (profiles, battery bar, brightness control from status bar).
I did a full backup of slim 4.2.1 using TWRP and then installed CWM recovery and then installed slim 4.4.2,
Can I go back to 4.2.1 using CWN?

Current: jellywiz rls 11
Previous: jellywiz rls 8 hybrid
Why: I like touchwiz jellybean and having Google wallet and flash, those roms give Me all of that which are the only things I need root for.
Jellywiz is actually the only rom I have ever tried, I am new to flashing roms but so far this rom has been stable and has given me everything I need, I have had no reason to switch to another one.

CleanROM 4.0 JB.
current: Jellywiz rls 12
previous: Beans 15
Device: Verizon Galaxy S3
Current ROM: AOKP M1
Previous ROM(s): ParanoidAndroid
Why? AOKP allows me to change the notification drawer background. aong with some other small extra customizations i like.
Device: Galaxy S3 Verizon
Current ROM: CM (CyanogenMod 10) M2
Stable?: Yes (some facebook crashes)
Previous ROM: CleanROM 2.5, 3.0, 3.1, Synergy r77
Why these ROMs?:
I've been on the search for a ROM that fits me, something that doesn't have too many customization options, but at the end that didn't seem to work out so well for me. CM10 M2 does have a little bit more customization options, but at the end, it feels amazing to use. I haven't ran into any kind of performance problems, just a couple of facebook crashes, but that might not be due to CM10, maybe just facebook problems?
All of these roms are amazing.
CleanROM is great if you're looking for something.. well.. clean? There's not too many add-ons or options to change, just a little de-bloat ROM with performance tweaks. Overall it's nice and clean.
Synergy had a lot of useful options and a lot of features, but because of my OCD personality, I just couldn't handle the ROM. When I think I messed up one thing on the ROM, i had to do a complete wipe... T____T but overall, awesome ROM.
Device: VZW Galaxy SIII
Current ROM: Liquid Smooth RC7 4.1.2 (AOSP)
Stable?: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth RC5, Synergy ICS
Why these ROMs? Honestly i love AOSP and having that pure google feeling on my phone. Touchwiz is nice and synergy does one hell of a job with there roms but i can't get away from AOSP. Its faster, smoother, and i just prefer it. As far as choosing liquid, well its been by far the best AOSP rom i've run on my SIII, and i used them back on my OG Droid days so that helps as well. Anyways yeah thats it
Device: Sgs3
Current rom: eclipse
Stable: yes
Previous: synergy (all of them, except the current 84jb class), Jellybomb, cleanrom, jellywiz, paranoid android, aokp, slimbean.
Why: started on touchwiz and built from there. Tw on this device is far superior than previous devices, though recently the android 4.1.2 builds have been just amazing. I really cannot live without the theme chooser in aosp, so tw jb's will need some dark horse/jellybomb/etc to send me back.... Eclipse has been very hard to top for me, will be giving liquid a go though soon.

AOKP M1 seems to be way more stable than CM10 M2
Battery life decreases normally, but for CM10 M2, i'm not sure if I just had a bad download, but the battery life just drops.
+1 for AOKP

Been using AOKP M1 for a couple hours, since yesterday and all I can say is it's smooth and amazing.. it feels like butter (bad joke)
anyways, what I don't like about AOKP M1 though is there's a lot of settings that I have to mess with, but I like how Nova has the backup option so if I ever have to start from scratch, I can just restore from the backup.
Awesome ROM.
current: Galaxy-Mod RLS4
previous: Cleanrom 3.0
Galaxy-mod is definitely the best TW based ROM out there. Beyond smooth, and Pure Motive(ROM dev) is promising an average of 50+ hours of battery life for his upcoming RLS5!
Device : Verizon Galaxy s3
Current ROM: CLeanRom 3.1
Stable: Yes
Previous ROM: Liquid Smooth, CM10 official nightlies
Why these ROM's ??
I have been on the look out for a ROM that merges the functionality of Touchwiz but removes the bloat. I have tried a couple of ROMs based on the stock android experience but there were a couple of features like in phone - swipe to right to call, swipe to left to message missing (but present in touchwiz) that I absolutely loved. Just to clarify, I really did not find any problems with the other ROM's like CM10 or LiquidSmooth. It's just my preference for the Touchwiz features that made me use CleanROM.
Thank you everyone! This is even helping me. I've tried a lot of ROMs but it's great knowing everyones opinion.
Just an update, for future posts please tell how long you've been on the current rom. Thanks!

[Q] Jelly Bean 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 rom

Hi Guys
Forgive my ignorance whats the difference from EOS3 roms to EOS4 roms
I have just flash my xoom to eos jz054k nightly 155, but would like the very latest stable 4.2.xx the one
that supports panoramic camera, and would to take advantage of using it on forthcoming holidays
looking in EOS4 roms there is lots of nightlys to choose from, would they flash over my EOS3 155 nightly
using TWRP recovery ??
You would have to install a 4.2 ROM on a CLEAN system. Meaning, you need to do a CWM Factory Data Reset prior to flashing the 4.2 ROM along with the correct Gapps.

Unfortunately, you will have to search the threads for that answer. I've switched back to 4.1.2 a long time ago, as I don't particularly care for the JB 4.2.x OS. Sorry.

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable Release.

Hello guys, I need some help! My GT-P3113 which is running stock 4.1.1 rooted, has a problem with WiFi. I checked the modem, network settings but nothing happened. So I wiped data and cache with C.W.M. I booted up succesfully on 4.1.1 (from the beginning), and I followed the usual process:
Choose your country - date and time - add Samsung account (I skipped it) - add Gmail account (ERROR,ERROR,ERROR).
So I thought that I have to flash a custom ROM in order to get my tablet fixed.(not to mention that custom ROMS are better than stocks). I thought of CM 10.2 but I noticed that for GT-P31XX devices, everyone is flashing a nightly and not a stable release of 10.2 . And I would like to ask you, what would happened if I flashed the CyanogenMod 10.2 stable. If it's not bad, can someone tell me how to install it?
A huge thanks to everyone

Stable that's mean it can be use for daily use and have less bugs, maybe there's no bugs
but , i'm not sure if cm10.2 is exist, you can check it on cyanogenmod sites
for instal it, you have to rooted your phone and have installed cwm recovery for instal the rom
CM10.2 Stable not exist for Galaxy Tab 2 at the moment, but the nightlys are much stable.
Maybe take a look on SlimBean 4.3.1 Stable 2.2 - i love it

@dimsar2013
Don't worry about "stable", it is just a label. CM10.2 nightly builds for Tab 2 are already very stable, I use one from October 17th and it is bug-free.
Slimbean 4.3 Stable 2.2 is awesome!!! The device runs very smoothly and the battery life is so big!!!!! It is an amazing ROM. Way more better than the Stock TouchWiz themed ROM.

[Q] help with cyansense rom

just installed the cyansense beta rom on my one s, its a damned fine 4.4.2 rom very stable and good battery life. on the xda page for it is says it is kept up to date with the latest cm 11 nightlies.
has anyone else installed this rom, if so how do you update it to the nightly. the thread for it is closed so I`m struggling.
would it be a case of downloading the cm nightly and just flash it after clearing cache and dalvic?
really like this rom and would like it to be up to date.

As the thread for this Rom has been closed, there will be no updates. You can not flash the official cm11 nightlies over your current cyansense Installation, to update it. But there are lots of other nice roms, which are worth an attempt and will be kept up to date by the dev.

wow! love to see you here! I used Lungo on my One S and it was the best I ever had.
Will try out later!
The project sounds interesting. Especially since it's based on CM.
Is there a more detailed description available on how the longer battery life is realized? Is it just from removing apps and widgets? Or are there changes to the code itself, too?
Usually I'd go with CM11. But it would be nice to get a better idea about in how far it differs from the classic CM.

Does this use the newer partition table? Will I need to update my twrp and hboot? Im currently on stock 4.2.2 jelly bean with s-off and hboot 2.19. I don't want any trouble if I decide to go back to stock 4.2.2 jelly bean. Cheers.
ALSO is this build running ART and SELINUX? Will I be able to run Xposed framework with this?

I think this requires the new partition table. i too am s-off, hboot 2.19 twrp 2.6.3. i tried to install this and all seemed fine initially,BUT... it booted to setup then popups saying that "pico tts has stopped" and wont continue. downloaded ROM and gapps a few times in case it was a dodgy dload.

I've got same problem with S-Off and HBoot 2.21 and Twrp 2.6.3.
It is the problem of this ROM - you need to flash it, boot up and then install gApps.
Then it will work - I have the same problem with Codename Lungo on S4 Mini.
