Need ROM suggestion for mom's phone

I don't own the skyrocket but my mom does. She is having some issues with the ROM I flashed long ago so I figure now is a good time to upgrade. What do you suggest for stability and battery life? I don't care which version of android or cutting edge features but I do care about everything working all the time as I live several hours from her and just can't fix things for her at any time.
Let me know what you recommend and why. The more detail the merrier. Thanks!

If you don't care about android version or features, leave it stock..

Not the reply I expected but okay. It is not stock now.

That is surprising. That's either a compliment to the Samsung devs or an indictment of the ROMs available on xda. Looks like I will try mohan_kr's 4.1.2 UCMC1 AT&T official stock odexed unless someone has a better suggestion.

What you saying? Unroot the phone? Is the ROM I referenced earlier not official stock but rooted?

I believe what he's meaning is since you can't up and drive down the street to fix her device, you should stay as close to bone stock as possible. I keep my mom rooted with custom recovery only so I can back up the device data in case of hardware/software failure. But she is bone stock at&t 4.1.2, which was a huge leap of change from 2.3 for her. She is 16 hr drive from me.

My wife has this phone and I've found the easiest to transition into android has been MIUI ROM for her. Everything is pretty stable and has the general functionality needed.
Not the latest and greatest since it's on 4.1.2, but works well.

That's rather rude and uncalled for. Just search around best threads get closed this is no different. also if you want advice don't mess with other peoples devices unless you're prepared for 24hr tech support.

Oh my. You weren't kidding.
I'm considering turning myself in. Better thank everyone now before I'm incarcerated.

[Q] Help with root, then installing kit kat

Hi,
I saw that I could root my Verizon HTC One (M8) and wanted some help on what to do after I root it. What I want is to install the latest stock Kit Kat on it (basically like making it a Play Edition phone). I found a rooting guide using WeakSauce. Can someone point me in the right direction on what I should do after getting root? Is there like a single file download of Kit Kat I can get to install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I have a Windows PC so if I need to build KitKat from source, I won't be able to do that).

You can't. We're months away from being able to do that all we have is root

Yes months. There is a long way from s-off to a stable copy of stock android for the Verizon HTC one.

Ummm proof of s off was posted yesterday. I doubt it will be months. Weeks if not days. With GPE versions existing it will not take long for other roms such as CM to show up.

You missed a key point. Making a pure GSM ROM work with Verizon will take some time. While it likely won't take long to get GPE running on a VZW M8, it will probably take some time to get the radio working properly.

Team Vanir is doing nightlies for the M8. Just flashed it... It is awesome.

Loved Vanir on my Rezound. If I get tired of Sense 6 will definitely give it a go.

Im assuming the standard speakerphone and mic not working in a call is present?

What do you mean by no device maintainer on XDA? Are these builds just built automatically then? Not too familiar with how these types of ROMS are built for all the various devices.

I've never run Vanir. What makes them separate from the pack, so to speak? I'm intrigued by your enthusiasm for them!

There's just something about the Android Viking boot animation and the heavy metal Android theme that rocks. It's fairly minimalistic, but I think that's a good thing.

Nice. I'm happy that we are getting some more love. I just hope that they get the GPE issue fixed (camera) which is preventing some of the developers from releasing a Verizon GPE version of their ROM.

Though I do appreciate the love for vzw m8 it is just another sense ROM. I've noticed a lot of them are just the same.

I just can't wait until we get some GPE love. AOSP looks very promising but I need something that I can use daily.
