Hello Gents of XDA,
My father purchased this tablet for his father (my grandfather) so he could have a device to use. However, on inspection, the OS is android 4.0.4 and therefore incredibly slow and outdated, while running a not-so-great flavor of TouchWizz.
My question is, is there a rom available for this device that is foolproof and won't self-destruct, while offering accessibility features. I'd prefer it to be as stable as possible as well.
Thank you in Advance!
You could try slimkat which is based on android 4.4.4. or if your grandfather wanted the latest and greatest, you could try CM13 which is pretty stable and I use it on a daily basis.
EDIT: on second thought, Omnirom which is based on Marshmallow is also a good contender

Is Slim6 relatively stable? The tinkerer in me wants to give it a shot.

Hi, i'm trying to find an answer with search bar, but definitively i can't find a good answer.
What roms are stables?
I've found only slimkat 4.0 stable and Cyanogenmod 11 M4 (both give my different problem with my usb keyboard, others roms doesn't but there are others problems), there are others stables roms to run with elementalx stable version?
I'm looking for something customizable at the same time have a stable version,possibly with OTA like cyanogen or beanstalk, .
Can someone Help?
Sorry for bad english
You should certainly try out AICP...
Btw, all roms are stable enough to use as a daily driver.. It's upto you to decide what is stable enough for you.

If you are on stock rom you can just install xposed framework with gravitybox to get all of your customization.
If you insist on a custom ROM rastakat or purity are probably the closest to aosp stability.
Stock + gravitybox is probably the best bet...

OP, stable is up to the individual User. There are some ROMs that are stable for others that are not for some....best bet, and I know you are going to say, I don't have time....hence probably why this thread is here, but you should just read, pick a ROM test it & run it....With so many variables involved, what is stable for me, might not be for you, since we have different needs, apps and usage....Thanks & Thread Closed.
Can someone port stock pure AOSP for this phone please
I tried copying the app, framework, fonts and media folders from the nexus 5 ROM but it didn't work
Paranoid android is pretty much aosp, give that a shot.

cm is even more aosp than pa since pa uses cm as a base.

Uh no, absolutely incorrect. Both CM and PA build from their own code source. PA was based on CM ages ago, but no longer. PA is very much more AOSP that CM is at this point.
ill try building a GE edition rom, been meaning to try it out, hopefully i can get it done.
its kind of useless to get rid of the few extra cm additions. you can turn them off if you dont like them and have basically the exact same look as what you get on a nexus device.

So... I'm planning to switch to Nexus 5 because my current phone (xperia zl) is lost...
Can you guys suggest me a good custom rom? I mean lag-free (no lag when you pull down the notification drawer), and stable ?
Thanks a lot, sorry if i'm asking such as unimportant question, i'm new in here
Since AOSP is built for Nexus range, they're all about as lag free as each other and all pretty stable.
Just look for the features you want and try the roms...

But i've read on some website said that PA, Carbon, and Mahdi is laging.. .Is that true?
If they are, its users poor setup or certain apps. ?
Stock is noticeably faster than pacman cm based ROM no matter what my settings were.
Going to try a couple more aosp based Roms like rastakat for the missing features from stock.
Will definitely be sticking to aosp Roms now though and not bother with any cm based.

Also pa was definitely faster than pacman but since I didn't run it back to back against stock ROM I can't say if it was slower or faster.

when i was on galaxy s2 of of all roms i had tried cm had the least bugs and cm11 for galaxy s2 was fit for daily use since 3rd build i guess it would be same for all phone !
its written on cm site too that people find cm more stable than other roms. may i know the reason for your opinion?

Cm has always been a battery drain for me since cm6. Its never been more stable than anything else. Maybe their final versions are as stable as everything else, but all their nightlies and everything else released between the final versions always seem to introduce bugs. And they always change stuff that doesn't need changing.
I will never use cm again. Simply awful.

read the xda threads on xda in general, q&a. many many times its cm thats unstable. besides, i spent years on cm, i know what it can be like. anyways, for the nexus 5, there are many roms that id consider more stable than cm.
First time trying a cm based ROM on my n5 and first time I have stability issues. Had to hard reboot cause it wouldn't wake up at all.

Check out Original Android Development and Android Development sections and look for [5.1.1] tag in the thread(topic) title.
You can install any of them who has this title provided you first look at their flashing procedure mentioned in those threads.
General flashing procedure >> forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Try ressurection remix its one of the most stable custom rom and its updated regularly,look for it in android development.
Blisspop and resurrection remix are my all time favourite. Currently in love with smartisan os. (not cyanogen based)
I would suggest using Slimsaber CAF as i'm using it as a daily driver and it's stable. But there are plethora of roms on xda and you can try all of them to find which one suits you the best. Hoenstly, it's all a matter of personal preference and choice. Slimsaber apparently is a stable and "necessary-feature" proof rom. I'm sure you'll like it.
You should try also Sultan's Rom. It's maybe the best Rom for OPO (the 5.1.1 / cm12.1).
If your really adventurous, you could try Sultan's unofficial cm13.0. I'm using it for a daily driver. But, now you can try anything out there since your rooted.

For smooth stable experience go cm 12.1/5.1.1, if u want latest mm then there are some 6.0/cm 13 ROM out also.
and +1 for sultan's ROM. exodus is also good.
Sultans cm13
I second sultans version of CM 13. Its working flawlessly. The snapdragon camera is amazing.
You'll definitely learn a lot about your phone when you start flashing ROMs. Backup often.

Hey there
Mine was also a newly rooted opo just 10days back. The roms I tried in this days where 4. According to my ranking
1.Blisspop
2.Carbon Rom
3.Resurrection remix
4.CM 13.0 (if you want to get a new experience of MM.)
Never tried cm12.1 though. I love customizations and stock cm12.1 doesn't have much.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Depends. If you want the regular cm feel go for sultans rom. I really liked it, but it has just about the same looks as mostly every other. It does have some solid cherry picks that set it ahead of the competition.
However, if you want to try something a bit different but also really well made, try miui 7. This is by far my favourite at the moment. Has official oneplus one support. It's a 4.4.4 rom though but I don't care about that. I actually have way better battery life on 4.4.4 and the miui7 feels like a complete product while being beautiful.
If you do, be sure to follow instructions not to have odd problems due to missed steps during install.

I think right now, its SultanXDA, MM.
The battery life in L, was a nightmare, solved on MM. Of course, MM need some time, but the best way to have it perfect earlier possible its helping to the developers finding the bugs.
If you don't want a alpha the Sultan's 5.11 its really nice too.
Guys I'm looking for your opinions about the fastest and most stable ROM. Right now I have the resurrection remix but i have some problem with it
Please suggest me the best ROM based on your opinion.

Right now I have another problem... I updated the ResurrectionRemix and without knowing it overwrote the twrp recovery with the crippled cyanogenmod one for some reason. Now in download mode it isn't detected anymore by odin, I tryed different PCs, cables driver versions and odin version but nothing.
If you could help me here you would save my life :angel:
