Candy rom is good, but to my view...
I've tried candy rom 2 days ago, and still using it. I've tried CM11, IzerHD, SungsonicHD, Slimkat, DhollmenKK and other many roms.
Candyrom attracted my eye because of its lollipop style and many other features, such as hover and slimkat-like style. Also I liked slimkat and Candyrom was based on slimkat, this also was a main reason why I tried out Candyrom.
Candyrom's overall designs and features were great, but I was also searching for Slimkat-based roms which have OC kernel. Candyrom didn't have. No offense, but to me, OC kernel was a very important feature because I wanted hardware controls, too.
Candyrom's second problem was, well, to me, I had some lag issues. It's not unbearable, but smoothness of Slimkat disappeared to my Espresso Galaxy Tab2 (p3110). First boot had some many lag issues, but I rebooted a few times and it got rid of some lags.
Thank you for a good rom, hoping that it becomes the best rom ever. This is my first review of rom try-outs.
Was having a problem with play store after update I flashed gapps and everything is good now.

Dear All,
Excuse me if I start a new thread here but it is my understanding that certain questions are not to be made in the development section.
I know much has to do with personal taste, your own experience and research, but I am coming from an HTC Aria, and I am looking for a custom ROM for my Inspire.
There are many ROM's posted that I know and appreciate have a lot of hard work and dedication from developers and unconditional testers and followers, as for instance the specific ROM thread for BinDroid's ROM itself alone has close to 900 posts, so please don't be offended by my questions, as for what I have seen and managed to read it seems to be that this might be what I am looking for:
Is this a stable ROM for daily use?
Are there any trade-off's / sacrifices (camara, video, flash, sound, buttons, gps, etc? that don't work or have limitations?)
I can understand that for many long time users and followers there can be "known issues" , but please understand that for newcommers these are not, so your kind comments will be most welcome.
I thank you all for your support and look forward to your answers and any recomendations that you may have.
Cheers!
I would say this Rom is stable for a daily use. For awhile I was running this Rom for little over 2 months. It's very clean. Its one of the handful of roms out here that works form start to finish. The support from the inspire to the desire hd threads for this is very quick if you had any issue that you may come across. I couldn't remember the last time I.had any major issue when using this. Battery life is great if you do a lot of Pandora browsing uploads like to fb etc. Works for me with my inspire. So would differently say flash this sucker.. its worth it.
If I remember right the only thing I did was a different kernel and a uv script lite other then that bad ass.

Let's first start with, welcome! Secondly, while you're correct dev threads are typically (depends on the dev team or individual developing the ROM) are reserved for development, there are Q&A's for each respective ROM that you should use to ask questions regarding a specific ROM. If everyone created a separate thread about each question they had for each ROM they use you can see how chaotic the forums would get.
The best way to figure out what "issues" a ROM has is to read some of the recent posts in both the Q&A and Dev section, you'll see there what most people are dealing with. Most ROMs here are pretty stable and I would say fine for daily use (ICS has some minor bugs due to source issues but from what I'm seeing there are a couple of somewhat stable ICS builds).Remember this is a development site, so some independent searching and reading is expected on your part.
As for Bindroid, I used it way back when they firsant started with sense 3.5 and loved it. Danny and the team are real nice guys and do great work. I would say that ROM is more then capable of being a stable, daily driver. Just remember, only you can decide what you can live with and c live without. All ROMs come with trade offs, some users don't mind them and don't even consider them trade offs or issues which is why you need to decide for yourself. Goood luck man!
So i've had the nexus for several weeks now.
tried the stock for a bit, did like it but missed some customizations offered by other custom Roms.
Went to Euroskank for a bit also, a big improvement on customization and is a very stable rom.
Now i'm on Carbon, seems stable for a nightly, love the PIE features and ability to customize the notification and status bars.
So the point of this post is more to hear what the user that have had this phone longer have to say.
Whats your favorite rom, and why?
lets keep on topic and try not to bash anyones work at the same time.
thanks in advance for any replies.
Topics like this can lead to Comparison of roms which is against the rules. Have a read at rule no.4 please: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500184. Try out the roms for yourself.
Well wasnt what i was looking for or intended, so i guess mod can delete when ready.

1 - question in general forums completely ignoring the sticky to not post questions here.
2 - no favorite rom or kernel threads and this one is titled literally favorite rom.
Not even bothered to read a single sticky. They are stickied for a reason.

The reason that comments on Youtube, yahooo, Cnet, ZdNet, Gsmarena and another 100 pages with Posts system SUCK is beacause the moderation also Sucks. That being said, If XDA didn't have this Rules and active moderation, it would've been a disaster community as well.
I thank to Mods for keeping this place clean, educated and resourceful. It also would be harder for users to feed from a source with too many repeated questions and mixed answers.
As others have mentioned best ROM/Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA. The question in its self in subjective, everyone has there own needs for their own use, best advice is to head over to the development section try some out and see which best suits your needs.
Thread also cleaned please keep your posts respectful guys, meaning no name calling.......................

GPS???
Okay, Love PAC rom and all, but I've flashed days after and the GPS STILL does not work. Can you guys throw out a fix asap? I need my GPS quite a bit, and this rom is my favorite. Don't want to have to switch back and forth between two roms just to use GPS lol
There's quite a few GPS fixes out for Roms in general you might wanna try:
1 tightening screws under the battery cover.
2. An app like GPS status to fix GPS.conf or check the thread in development dedicated to GPS fixes.
3. Go back to a TW rom get a good GPS lock then reflash your rom.
Or it could be an issue with the Tom itself if no one else has reported issues. Most aosp Roms have things like this worked out.
Good luck I hope this helps. I use GPS essentials to check my satellite count and other info GPS status may do this but my personal preference is the former.
My question is about paranoid and pacmans flagship feature of changing dpi of apps without changing it system wide. I dont know what its called but I asked in paranoid a few month's ago and they said it wasn't there just yet. Is it in pac at this time? I've always wanted to try it.I know its in older builds but last I asked it wasn't in 4.4 yet.
Thanks

Will this ROM work with Galaxy Gear 2?
If not, is there a way to dual boot this with my AOKP ROM?
2 small issues
Love the ROM, but I am having 2 small issues
1. I cannot end a call with the headset button. It works to answer a call and to control music, but I cannot end a call by clicking the button. Is this a bug, or is there a setting somewhere.
2. It randomly reboots while using Waze (GPS App). Any suggestions?
Thanks

Lots of issues
I've read plenty of reported issues that I can say I've been having as well (volume sticking at max in calls, mms not working on wifi, etc.) and I'm here to report another issue that REALLY bothers me.
About once or twice a day, the phone decides to restart, I've found that typing quickly in the keyboard can help instigate this. I really want to like this ROM but I really can't when it does this consistently. So far carbon is superior to every other ROM I've tried for various reasons (PAC was too heavy/had glitches, CM was featureless, Slim was just awful) but it's really frustrating to have an issue like this one combined with all the reported issues.
As a side note changing any settings in the camera causes it to crash and the infamous "Cannot connect to camera" message to appear if the app is restarted.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Phone: Sprint SPH-L710 running carbon build: CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141106-0907 with stock kernel.
(I should mention my messaging app is hangouts and if at all possible I'd like to leave it that way. I did read it might be an app/carrier issue but I'm really hoping someone will tell me otherewise)

The link to the new thread from the sprint thread brought me here. Not to mention they are unified now hence d2lte vs d2spr as sprint would've been and d2vzw as I assume verizon would've been. The fact that the link to the "new thread" lead here would lead me to believe this is where they host the unified thread for the new unified ROM that works on all of the unified devices (all s3 devices except the international i9200 I believe)
Edit: I should insert here that I would've posted on the forum had it let me, but xda wanted me to post here instead. Honestly since the unification of ROMs it's often been confusing finding what places apply to your device. I'll be reposting this in the sprint Q&A if it exists, but I do still believe it is relevant to the rom in general.

Sometimes the redirection of threads confuses me especially the Q&A ones that always seem to claim that the OP/developer asked for, when I've noticed most times that isn't even the case

mod sucked
At first I liked the flow and was excited. WAS getting ready to donate until i asked the dev a common question that he should have known an answer ( you'd think) but was told "im on my own". I'll just keep my money instead of giving it to a prick. In the long run the mod turned out to be ****.

Hahahahhahahahahahahahahaha, thanks for the good laugh. I hope that was prick-enough for you as I'd like you to keep your money.
You sent me a random PM for a ROM that's more than 2.5 years old and tell me that you "cannot get any streaming service to show video. YT, HBOgo Netflix etc".
Do you expect me to flash my old ROM and debug the issue just for you and provide individual feedback? Apart from the fact that I never even owned a P999, just a P990 and ported the ROM over as a coutecy to those poor people who got left in the rain by LG.
Of course you are on your own! I told you that I "unfortunately do not know" the answer, but if you believe that I "should have known" it and think you gain anything from attacking me in public - be my guest, there's the door. Ciao.
Lolololol wow! Thanks for all the great development Tony. You're one of the few elite devs that brought life to this brick of a device!
