Hi all,
I know there are some similar threads that address this, but I was hoping we could have one specifically for DS users who have been trying out the new ROMs to provide some ongoing input on what they have found to be their favourites and why.
I'm most interested in which ROMs have the least bugs, the greatest stability and the best performace. My current favourite is SenseMOD FlashONE v2.0.2, though it's close between that and PrimoS.
Having been on Endymion for quite a few months, I'm missing the features and all-round brilliance of that ROM, and am hoping lowveld is working on something But for now I am interested in testing the new releases and am enjoying the new UI and features of Sense 3.6/4 lite.
Please share.....
Thanks!!
Yeh primo-s........ or the new port from the russian version there is talk about within the primo-s thread
Right now, Primo S and FlashOne are your best choices. If you want to try something different, use AOKP by Tectas. Pretty awesome.
Off topic - You actually have your nickname after Endymion? Wow, lowveld really has something special there. Really hope he cooks up something for ICS soon....
Thanks a lot,
I searched for that, too :]
im running Tectas unofficial aokp and must admit i have been blown away by how efficient it is. makes the desire s an even better phone than before, think that the ics camera software has improved the shutter speed
Thanks guys, any input is appreciated, especially over the next few days/weeks, as the current ROMs see some improvements and some new ones appear.
I am back on Primo-S for now, might go back to FlashONE after the next update (being uploaded as I type this) but for now Primo seems the best.

Lol, lowveld knows my username, I think he found it a bit ridiculous
Endymion has been the best ROM on here for some time in my opinion, I appreciate the AOKP/CM based builds, but prefer lowvelds releases, and would rather have Endymion instead of Reaper; there's only so much customisation I'm interested in doing myself, and with a ROM like Endy with it's own control centre on top of RC tweaks, that's about enough to keep me satisfied.
Lowveld is quiet on the FTL/Endy threads, I'm hoping that means he's at work on something
- jacmeister/shrome/other tectas aokp fans - what would you say were the advantages over the ROMs based on the virtuous leak, and also over something like Endymion?
I am not too bothered about cam use, as I only occasionally use my phone for pics/video. I'm most interested in speed/stability and an aesthetically pleasing UI Too much customisation options and I end up spending an unhealthy amount of time on my phone tho
Thanks!
Hey guys, why dies everyone use AOKP over CM9? What are the advantages?

The tweaks and customization options available are INSANE on AOKP!!!
It's so much fun to play around with the options, I hardly used any app on it when I field tested it!!

Wow wow, I need to try it out soon! I tried a really early version months ago, and it didn't differ too much from CM9.
I'm waiting for nk111 and his CM9 build with kernel 3.0, then hopefully Tectas can extract the boot.IMG for his AOKP ROM!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I agree...
The Customization Options on AOKP are amazing. But I want a real stable ROM for daily use. So hopefully the Kernel related problems will be eliminated now. I'm just waiting a few more days for a Real Stable Release and new Kernel in a AOKP Version

Let's just say i'm having a psychological meltdown to resist flashing those new V3 Roms , i'm on virtuous saga and i love it, not the snappiest nor the most responsive but i can live with that i guess ^^;
Surprisingly, i fell in love with the russian ported primo-s mentioned in primo-s thread. Nothing fancy. It is the original and pure sense4a. No tweaks, no mods, no rosie. Just exactly like in the One V. And i keep the menu button as recent apps, don't want to fix it. I find it easier than hold down home button as i switch between apps a lot. And did i mention it's very stable and buttery smooth?

My first android phone was the nexus one and have always got the nexus variant when it came out. But always preferred the build quality of HTC. Which is probably why I like Aokp on the DS so much as its like a more modern N1. But this tectas build is rock solid and the customisations are insane. Has been really snappy and nothing seems to be dragging or slowing down the phone functions. I will try this primo s rom soon just to compare

AOKP has more tweaks and options, and any new feature of CM9 will make into AOKP sooner than later, ex: profiles
Prefer AOKP any day over CM9.

Having waited months for kernel 3.0 its finally here, unfortunately for me I sent my phone to HTC last week for repairs. Im itching to do some flashing
thanks for starting this thread, very helpful when I get my ds back

I'll be on CM9 when it's stable. AOKP has too many tweaks for me. Most of which I don't use. CM9 + Reloaded is enough for me.

Anyone got an idea as to when we'll see an AOKP / CM9 ROM using Kernel 3.x? Is it easy to do or not?

Appreciating the input on here
What are people's opinions on the new releases and updates? My current favorite is lowveld's Fallout, that's the one I've found to be the most enjoyable experience so far. Saying that, I haven't had the chance to try the latest htc-phones rom, which had a new update today and a further one planned for tonight/tomorrow, with the Full Sense4 experience.
As much as I'm enjoying these new roms, I have not found one that I am able to feel completely satisfied with; I am trying to decide whether to stick to Endymion for now and check back on the new releases (Fallout esp. ) without flashing for a while and wait for the range of mods and tweaks that are to come.
Endy provides me with everything I could ask for, but the Sense4 experience is enjoyable and it's good fun to be riding the wave of these new developments. For me though, it's kind of a trade off between the consistent greatness of Endy or the new and exciting, though rather limited, experience of Sense4.
I imagine those coming from CM9/AOKP to Sense4 must perceive its limitations to be greater than I do - are many people sticking with Sense4 from now on to watch its improvements, or would you prefer, like me, to TRY and wait for the customisations and tweaks that will appear in the coming weeks?
Apologies for the long post....

After trying Fallout, I'm never going back to Endymion! It's just the right combination of light, fast and beautiful. And ICS is the future anyway... so makes sense. Plus, all the magic that had to happen on Endy has already happened. It's got everything working, with nothing to fix. Fallout on the other hand is still to receive its goodies, and i need that flashing experience to satisfy the craving inside of me!!
I'm on Gummy Nightly 4.4.2 and I'm looking for something more stable. Life is a bit hectic right now so I'm not able to constantly flash a new rom.
What has been the best 4.4.2 rom that you've had the most success with?
to each there own .
moderators dont like these types of threads cuz they cause arguments
Beanstalk and Liquidsmooth! Waiting for the Pac-Man release!
If life is to hectic to find a rom I suggest stock.

Define "most solid"...
All you are going to get is people's limited opinions. Plus, if someone has only used 1 or 2 different ROMs - vs ALL of the ones available - they really can't comment

I meant to say "stable" I just want a rom where the basic functions like Camera work and I'm able to use instagram etc without it crashing. Gummy is fine, but not being able to use the camera is a big thing. I would like a multi-window feature that Hyperdrive has, but I'd like to stay at 4.4.2.
Also, no I will never go back to stock. As for those who have used one or two different roms their opinions are still valid. They can say whether it was stable or not.

A ROM with a non-functioning camera would never even get consideration from me ! Same applies to ROMs with no working data. Does the Gummy thread tell you the camera doesn't work ? I'd hope so !!
For what it's worth, I've tried the following KK ROMs (with my opinion/comments):
Beanstalk (Gideon's build) - good ROM, no complaints that I can recall.
Omni (Gideon's build) - too plain or simple (or boring) for me. Didn't have a few features that I've grown to like (I blame PAC for that !!). It was stable though.
LiquidSmooth (both the LS team version and Gideon's) - my preferred ROM at the moment. Runs fine, everything works, and has many of the features I like. Between two builds a week and a half apart, I see add'l things added too.
ParanoidAndroid (notta's build) - can't recall any details at the moment.
I suggest trying ParanoidAndroid 4.0 BETA. Yes, it is a beta but it is very stable. I have been using it since Notta switched to 4.4.x. The are still working out small bugs (like every other KK ROM), but like I said, it's very stable.
It does not have multi-window. For that I suggest Omni ROM. I've been using that on my ASUS TF300T and it works awesome!
As evident by some above commentary, XDA is not a support site and users are expected to test all Roms to make their own, independent, determinations as to what is stable for them.
Thread closed.
What does the term Sabermod mean? I keep seeing it in the titles of different ROM's, is it just another fork of android similar to CM, AOKP, PA?

Not funny anymore, all that does is show me the ROM's webpage I obviously know how to google. I want to know why it is included in the title of so many other ROM's. Is it the base of most of these ROM's? (Smart ass)

What is SaberMod?
The term "SaberMod" is coming from:
Quote
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

I stand corrected, I am a google simpleton. Haha Thanks man.
just so you know, they actually didn't answer your question. What SaberMOD refers to when used in ROMs and kernels is the toolchain that team created, which is an optimized version of the linaro toolchain that has more flags enabled for better performance.
Hello!
So I just got my brand new One plus one today :good:. I wanted to install Lollipop on it, and yes I know its still in mostly alpha development at this moment. However, can anyone recommend me what in thier opinion is the best and most stable lollipop ROM for the One plus one? I'm mostly looking for stability. (and mediocre battery life)
Thanks in advance! :highfive:
None

If your OPO is new i wont recommend you doing anything for atleast 2 weeks!
Till that time Alpha builts will progress to beta builds hopefully
use CM11s Its actually quite awesome!
Play with camera you'll love it...
CM12 has bad camera for now! :{
There is no best stable lollipop rom, they all build from the same source and is more or less identical with very minor insignificant changes.
I personally like the latest liquidsmooth 4.0 build.
Sent from my One A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Best stable Lollipop Alfa for One+ One is for me the Temasek-Build.
There's no such thing as a best ROM anyway. You'll get a million different people with a million different opinions, which makes asking this question completely pointless because you're left having to flash and find out, which is what you should be doing in the first place.

Without a doubt, this one. Compiled from source daily, with added custom fixes, tweaks, and testing.
Many of the other people just repost as is, and don't actually test it.
Hello,
I'm currently using stock cm11 on my OnePlus one, but I wanted to try something new.
I heared about these two ROM's which I think look very interesting, and overall wan't to upgrade to lollipop.
But I cannot decide which one to flash:
-Paranoid
-SlimSaber
I really like the idea of the ''Peek'' option in the Paranoid ROM.
But I've heard most people prefer SlimSaber because it's very fast.
Anyone can suggest which one is more, i dont know, stable? or fast?
Thanks in advance

I personally prefer PA over slim. Pa has always been stable and well overthought. They prefer stability and perfect integration over amount of customisation.
For the moment PA is just pure AOSP with some little corrections but nothing game changing.
The simple fact that slim comes with a completely different ppi setting by default bogged me.
In the end : try both and see what suits you best. Invest a at in each one and you will figure out soon enough. Or wait for oxygen os, there is a big portion of the PA team in it, so it will probably be something nice too.
Good luck finding your personal best
