I'm using slimkat for my Captivate. It seems to be the fastest from the ones I have tried so far.

Slimkat 5.0
Hi,
I tried lot of roms, but now i am using SlimKat 5.0 Stable Link here, is the fastest kitkat rom i ever used.
Initially i face some issues at first in this rom, font & icon size are too small, then i download an dpi changer application and set to 233 (cappy's default resolution), then works perfectly.
* i use gapps (slim_minimal_gapps 4.4.2 which was lighter only 67 mb)
* i use Galaxy Laucher (downloaded from play store)
* Atrium for Facebook (alternative, because it takes too much ram)
* Pluma for Twitter (alternative)
* RAM 417 MB
Conclution:
Even using whatsapp, facebook & twitter, still i have 135 mb ram free.I highly recommend this rom, because it is fast, stable & better battery.

C-RoM Mix v25
I also tried lot of roms but now i am using C-RoM Mix v25.
Smooth Jellybean Rom and was using kitkat 4.2.2 but faced auto shutdown issues in different roms.
1. Using Galaxy Launcher instead Touchwiz with Weather to save more ram and only google+ and whatsapp installed.
2. Games are working fine so many like (a) Hill Climb Racing (b) Zombie Diary (c) Zombie Diary 2 (d) Raging Thunder (e) Dr. Driving but after close wifi or net connection.. not working fine Candy Crush.
3. RAM 396 MB and while running gapps with whatsapp 100 MB Free..

When i still had my cappy before it was aquired via 5-finger-discount from me i last ran CM as my DD. It made that phone into an otherworldly beast; it was like the breath of life giving birth to a 10xs better device than when samsungs TW.UI was on there.

Slimkat 5.4 Weekly
I'm using SlimKat 5.4 weekly. Very smooth kitkat ROM.

My Cappy is now my secondary phone, so I stick with CM nightly builds.

I am also using slimkat, after trying 5 or 6 other ones. It is definitely the fastest ROM I've used. It is also the most stable one for me.

CM 10.1.3 - using my Cappy for Sports tracking and music. I keep it as a backup phone to my SGS3, so there is no SIM installed atm. I normally keep it in airplane mode, battery life is great, GPS works well.
Considering going to CM10.2 and maybe on to a KK rom, will see.

Currently running 2.3.5 (KK4 - Legend 6 - JellyBean Edition). Although I've ran it through the infamous Android Kitchen and modified it to my liking, it's basically just a slimmed down, modded GB rom. When I actually have time to mess around (also have 3 other devices I experiment with and a full time job ha) I'll eventually try something newer.
Update: Got bored and picked up the Cappy. Went through the necessary procedures and flashed Optimum JellyBean by Likeman (4.3.1). Just because ... ha!

I am using CyanAOSP 4.2.2, supernexus based ROM. The fastest and most stable ROM I have used till date. Doesn't slow down after a week or even after months like few other ROMs. Have found it to be the best for my cappy.

Just changed, yesterday, to CM 10.2.1 from CM 10.1.3. After one day it seems to be an improvement.
Used it for 4 hours on the bicycle with a sports tracking app, the GPS worked magnificently. I am not using it as a phone any longer, simply for tracking rides and music.

Choppy CM10 a2 kernel

Can't post this in the development section as a response so I will post it here. Does the new InstigatorX 6.1 kernel work on TeamChopsticks CM10 8/12 a2 ROM? YES!!! Everything works great. Camera, video and landscape work also. Only issue is I get FC's using Facebook sometimes but that is minor for me. Used CWM 6xx to flash. Flashed rom, gapps 7/29 and kernel flawlessly. As always, thanks to everyone involved for making our phones much more enjoyable! Enjoy!

Calling and texting also work good. No issues yet. Still an alpha so you may have issues with other programs. Chances are that we don't have the same stuff. Only thing is overall phone volume has been low since I first flashed CM9 two months ago. Easy fix was downloading a volume boost app.

YouTube and Break apps work without fc'ing. Have noticed the same on actual websites with flash though. like ebaumsworld, but I can usually refresh the page and it loads.

r4ins is going to keep up with the AOKP Jellybean project since armyvet is not, and gmillz will also probably keep building on their ROM. I'm on the 8/5 with the 1a chopsticks base and InstigatorX 6.2 kernel. If you're experiencing a "choppy" feel, check out either the Darkside or InstigatorX kernel and pick a good frequency governor. That can help a lot. On any of these early ROM's you're going to still get FC's and reboots.. they're Alpha's. If avoiding that is the most important thing to you, I would stick to CM9, Chimera, SkyICS, or a similar ICS ROM.

[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.

I wanted stock android with some of the features that touchwiz offer. Very well put together ROM.
thanks for all answer ,im using stock rom right now :laugh: please give thanks to my post please :victory:
Jellybam
If you have one of it's many supported devices, I highly reccomend Jellybam. Jellybam has many features from many ROMs, and is not disimiliar to PAC-Rom, but I find many more options to customize, like custom notification background, and even custom halo color etc.
Overall, for my P3110, the ROM is quite fast, even without over clock, and the Deva update it quite frequently, plus these updates are stable and most of the time quite major and useful

Just recently picked up the Carbon rom and loving it! I use them for the customization and the fact that they boost performance and battery life
The phone I own is a first gen LG Optimus V. The ROM I use now is MiRaGe CM7.2 ROM. The reasons I rooted and flashed was to get better performance, over clocking, USB Tethering, removel of all bloat ware and useless apps, and to be able to make Nandroid backups of my installed ROM, apps, and settings. Before I did all this, I ran stock Froyo 2.2.1 and was plagued with all sorts of problems the LG Optimus phones were known for. And I was 100% o.k. with voiding my warranty too.:good::laugh:

My old HTC Desire used Cyanogen Mod, my current HTC One X and S3 are using Stock Roms still.
My tablet at the moment using Ubuntu Touch, might go for another rom as the Ubuntu Touch is missing some key features I want in the tablet right now as it is a Dev release. Will hopefully go back to Ubuntu Touch in a later release when those features are there.

Is there a stable and light rom?

Hi all!
I'm using an HTC One S, and I tried some different roms.
I tried Pacman, Paranoidandroid, but they're a little bit heavy and full of features I'll never use, and the battery doesn't last too much.
So I tried CodenameLungo, Slimroms and Carbon, and they're light and the battery use is amazing... but most of them are based on nightly release, and they're not stable. Sometimes they freeze, sometimes the sim card stop to work, sometimes I have to reboot 'cause wifi doesn't work...
And actually I'm looking for a stable and light rom... does it exist?
Waiting for any suggestion (except for Sense based rom, it's too heavy!).
Thanks a lot!

I'm using holo black bean 2.3. So far its been 100% stable for me over the past few weeks of heavy use. Most stable non sense ROM I've used. Not sure its as light as you want but the less features you use the faster the rom will likely be especially over time.

That's my advise, too. Almost vanilla Android. Latest stable for ville is 10.0 (4.1.2) and RC2 for 10.1 (4.2) is out.
Jengirl ... I've been a pure android guy since putting my old Diamond to rest. A couple of months ago, had finally had enough of Sprint, sold the Nexus S 4G, and picked up a One S for TMobile. Immediately installed CM10, and after a few weeks tried Code Lungo ... same as you, just had annoying little issues. Finally decided to run stock 4.1.1, but without all the unnecessary TMo bloat and with a stripped down, light version of Sense. Ever since, this sucker simply flies ... without any lag. What made the difference was Rom Cleaner, that I customized to meet my needs. By the way, in addition to being fast without lag ... everything works!
I'm also on holoblackbean 2.3 & this thing is stable & it flies. No complaints. I want to switch to Odyssey when this one gets buggy or it let's me down.... It never has.

Definitely can't confirm any reboots on odyssey. Try fresh install after 3x full wipe.... Running very smooth and stable here...
I've made the wipes but nothing has changed: I think it is a kernel instability problem

Why use a monthly snapshot when there are more stable release candidates available?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Best stable, light ROM for me after trying all ROM's is [ROM] SourcE v1.4 | Audio quality | Smooth | [Unsense MOD]
Everything works with just the right amount of mods, especially the sound mod is best for me. Until I can safely update firmware for 4.2.2 Sense 5 this is best ROM for stability.
Beanstalk gets my vote, CM based and very smooth

Because, in my experience, oddly enough the most recent RCs have actually been less stable than the snapshot release. :/

I can't tell you the best one.. All roms have some bugs, sometimes not so bothering than others. 5.1.x roms have BSODs(blue screen of death) therefore aren't stable... Kitkat roms are not so popular so .. CM12 is stable/fast for me
CM12 + Thunderzap 4.14 ?
Stock
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Free mobile app
After trying different roms on my xperia L, I think that the stock rom is best for daily use. CM 11 is also good, but in my experience after using it for a couple of months it started to get very slow and also had a few critical bugs. CM 12 was very disappointing for me. It is very slow even on clean install, app open times are extremely slow (especially when using link2sd), ram management is terrible (launcher often redraws), internal memory fills up qickly and battery life is worse compared to CM 11.
Delete some of your apps/data lol

cm 12 works good for me
I'll stick with stock then. Thanks for your answers i have taken my decision.
Theres no best rom for any device. It's the users that realise which rom suits best according to their need. So it could be different for everyone.
Developers work very hard for their development and comparing them is the worse thing that could be done
