Hello everyone I have an Xperia S rooted phone currently working on Cyanogenmod 11. Although it has a everything a smartphone user looks for, appeal and all, I've been encountering way too many bugs. I admit I had been warned of this as it was an unofficial release. But I am rather insistent on installing KitKat. So what are my other options? I've heard a great deal of ParanoidAndroid and Carbon. Are these any good or will I meet our ugly friends, the bugs? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
We cannot tell you to use one rom over another. You have to make this decision on your own. there are plenty of rom reviews out there for you to view.
Good luck

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!
Hi! I have been switching between many ROMs in the last weeks, unable to the decide which one I should go for. I see someone have asked this question before, but the posts are pretty old. The rom i am looking for should be fast, battery friendly (if possible) and have some cool and useful functions. Thanks for all help
Well, I'm on AICP and I find it the most feature filled ROM out here
I guess as long as this topic doesn't turn into best ROM thing, it's fine...
Do a nandroid backup....and start flashing and see for yourself. Everyone's taste and needs are different. 12 people could answer you with 12 different answers.
XDA is about experimenting and trying things for ourselves.
Good luck!!

for Simple or minimalistic experience, go for Purity or Slim Kat or Liquid Smooth or VanirAOSP
for feature full experience, go for PAC or Carbon or C or Mahdi or SOKP
All The Best
they really dont allow these kinds of threads on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889
if you want to find a good rom for yourself, go to the development sections, read the rom ops, and try them out. thats the only way that youre gonba be able to find the perfect rom for yourself and your needs. as someone else already said, as many people are here as many different rom recommendations youll get. theres no one perfect rom.
As stated above, try out different ROM's and decide yourself. The answer to this question is always subjective. You are the only one who knows what works best for you.

Hi People,
We all know how hard our Devs have worked to port 4.2 our device, We all will always appreciate that but in the end 4.2 is still not rock stable if compared to 4.1
I would like to recommend / advice our developers to continue working on 4.1 only
I understand the amount of hardwork involved by our developers but the bottom line is that its really not worth it to work on a 4.2 ROM
I hope we all will understand
Hi bro! I understand your concerns but as far as my opinion goes, 4.2 ROM's are much better than earlier versions!! Try the UltraSLIM ROM or Mere ROM! They are very smooth indeed! And Now I believe, PureXperia amd Color ROM are just awesome!! What issues are u facing?
Great, thanks for the opinion and request...Not going to turn this into a best rom thread.
XDA is not a support site, members are encouraged to use this site to learn how to do things on their own, and then other members can always jump in to assist with development. :highfive:
i have been looking a lot of information about this device and then only thing i could do is rooting it .... so what i and a lot of L series users want is to you pay more attention to this series because all we want custom roms and official support ... you have help me a lot with other devices but with my new one a cant :/ so please we will be so grateful if you start working in this LG series .... thanks a lot.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It isn't up to XDA Developers to decide which devices get the most development, XDA simply provides a place for people to get together and share their work and ideas. It's up to the developers to make the decision of which device(s) they want to develop for. Unfortunately low-spec devices such as the L50 rarely receive any development, because they're low-spec they're also low popularity, and developers generally develop for popular devices to make it worth their while. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Even though you may not receive any custom ROMs for your phone, if you can root it you can still customise it through the use of the Xposed Fraemwork and modules. I'd suggest you take a look:
Xposed - General info, versions & changelog
Xposed Framework Modules
Good luck with your phone.

Dear Sir,
Iam looking for a new smartphone that should last for the coming two years.
the specs that Iam looking for is a reliable one.
I have some models in mind but I need your assistance in order to decide.
first choice: Huawei mate S or LG G4 or Samsungs S6 Edge +
second choice : Gionee Elife E8 or BLU Pure XL or Allview X2 Xtreme.
Remark: in option 2, although the three look like together but there should be some one who is better in quality and manufacturing products.
here I need your advice and recommendation for option 1 & 2
last but not least, if you really recommend a mobile that is not in the above list then I will be more than happy to hear from your side.
Awaiting for your reply and thanks in advance
Hello,
Thank you for using XDA Assist
Thank you also very much for asking our advise as to your new phone choice.
While most of us here very big phone enthusiast and have been on these boards for years, the one thing we have learned is that there is so much individualism and what someone may want for their device is not the same that someone else may want.
You have to analyze what is best for you.
What do you want to do with your phone?
How much is a certain feature valuable to you?
This is like asking which is the Best Rom? There is no answer for that!
It is what is best for the user.
May suggest you make a list as you have of devices you may be interested in.
Then go to read about each device the specs, maybe go to the XDA Forum for those devices and read what the users there are saying about it.
Collect as much information as you can then sit down go through it and figure out what is best for you.
Good Luck
Ragnar
