I use Expert v4 for a week now and i can tell you that i am amazed. It is so smooth and stable with good battery life. And i forgot to mention, it is 4.2.2 cm 10.1. Search on google for it.

Bump....looking for the same and leanign towards Expert V4.
I'm currently using FusionX which is very stable but 4.1.1 and not the best battery life plus sluggish performance even though I'm not doing any gaming or anything on it.

Now i am using slimrom 4.4.3. It is very stable and great battery life. 2 days with normal use. Try it. Fast and smooth.

^ I'll try that. For the ExpertV4, I tried unsuccessfully to install it from the zip file in TWRP. It said MD5 check failed or something.
Also, where are the instructions for installing SlimKat from Modaco?
I guess installing SlimKat is done the same way but it's not working and I think it's because my TWRP is 2.5. I tried updating with GooManager but it doesn't work for the y300 as it says no update found so how would I install the recovery image of TWRP on the phone without using an app?
Hmmm installed SlimKat and I get no phone signal and the mobile network can't be searched (I'm on some carribean island atm). Installed Expert V4 and it worked fine afterwards but it can't register on a mobile network in slimkat so no actual phone.
Found this post about cm12 for y300: http://www.modaco.com/topic/374484-romy300502-cyanogenmod-12
I'm using it for a few days now, it's more stable then cm11.

Looking for the most perfect ROM for my Y300! I've tried CM 11 and Tesla OS, but both ****ed up the phone (freezes, slow, lagging, etc.).
any update ?
Latest ones are SlimKat 9.1 (Android 4.4.4), Resurection Remix 5.5.8 (Android 5.1.1) and CM13 (Android 6.0.1) for Y300.
Some experiments with SlimKat 9.1 -> mega.nz
- Original device tree by chil360, with zRAM from 48MB to 128MB
- SlimRoms sourcecode for branch kk4.4-caf, with updated AOSP branch from android-4.4.4_r2 to android-4.4.4_r2.0.1
- added apps Kernel Adiutor, Total cmd, Xposed installer (sdk19, working)
1 - built SlimKat 9.1 CAF with display-legacy project: flash done, booting do something, but blackscreen.
2 - overwrite build with display-caf project files (/libs/... and /libs/hw/...): display works, ROM is just fine!
3 - add 160MB swap file with apps2sd + 128MB zRAM, ROM are not laggy! Hardware works fine, just no HW+ decoder in MX player, HW and SW decoder work.
4 - Flash ROM and than flash OpenGapps, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, reboot, ROM have lagging!
5 - Flash ROM and than flash microG (vanila installer), wipe both, reboot, ROM have minimal lag.
6 - Flash ROM with integrated, odexed OGapps, reboot, ROM have minimal lag - Yes! Bingo!
7 - Overclocked CPU kernel does not work on Y300 (u8833), but it should work on G510 (u8951), if not, flash u8833 kernel or non-OC kernel, with zRAM128.
8 - Since SK9.1 use chil360's kernel branch lp5.1, the same used in SlimLP by chil360, it is nice, it has intelliplug
9 - OK, lets try newer kernel: kernel branch mm6.0, used in Slim6 by chil360, alright let's repack boot.img;
SlimKat 9.1 boots with Slim6 kernel zImage, RIL works, WiFi works, Camera DO NOT WORK and major problem:
both internal and external SD can not be mounted after many trying (slim6 vold, vld, setting, mount, remount...).
Although you can manually mount 2nd SD partition (ext3/ext4), ROM with Slim6 kernel is useless.
10 - So, test SlimKat 9.1 with OGapps, it is good, fast rom. I had test games like Make Hexa, Dead Ringer - Fear Yourself and they work fine!
Hi,
I decided to post my own topic and not in the CM11 thread, because this is probably not a CM11 issue. As you know, the Nexus S has only 512MB of RAM including video. Mine has been having quite a lot of slowdowns (apps refreshes/restarts) for the past weeks. I am wondering what I could do to help it and avoid buying a new phone (no money and I still love that phone).
However now, there are few things that I can't do anymore.
- I can't listen to BeyondPod (podcasts) and receive/send SMS in Hangout. There's not enough RAM to run both apps and even when I am listening to BeyondPod, the SMS alert might not trigger when a SMS is received. This happens in few apps here and there.
- Sometimes, someone calls me and the screen stays black so I can't answer. Again, this is due to RAM usage.
- I use SwiftKey as keyboard and it can't take 30-45 seconds to load in some apps such as Chrome.
I am running CM11 Nightlies. I usually update CM11 once per 2 weeks with the lastest Nightly available. I don't wipe the entire configs, I just upgrade. It's been a while since I've wiped everything to be honest. I probably updated CM10 to CM11 without wiping the configs. This might be one thing to try but I am not sure if it would help to regain some RAM/juice. I am running the stock kernel of CM11. I know there are few kernels with a bigmem patch, but does it really work ?
As for launcher, I am running Apex Launcher as well with SwipePad. Greenify runs in the background and hibernate pretty much every apps it can. I don't have the Greenify donation package, so it won't hibernate on the system apps.
I am wondering if wiping everything and installing a stable version of CM11 (or another lighter ROM?) would help. I would use TItanium Backup to reinstall the apps and their settings. I wouldn't use TiB to push the configs of the ROM if CM11 is reinstalled. Would a kernel or ROM with bigmem patch a good idea ?
This would probably be a temporary fix, because apps and ROMs are asking for more and more CPU/RAM these days.
Thanks for any input,
Neo.
A clean flash isn't a bad idea, just backup your rom first.. Backup your apps/ data on your SD with titanium backup and then you can just restore them.. You could try my stable v1.1 script and use Guru (CM kernel with bigmem) or Devil and you will notice the improvement.. Also the CM m9 is a very nice rom.. Happy flashing..

Thanks for your answer Setting.Out.
Before I receive your answer, I did some research on my side as well. It turns out that I have downloaded your ROM (the Farewell edition) and the cn.fyodor AOSP 4.4.3 ROM. I decided to go ahead and install the AOSP ROM instead of yours. I wanted to try AOSP instead of CM, being a CM user for the past 2-3 years. While I was satisfied with the AOSP ROM for the past day or 2, I am now unsure if I will keep it. While performances are good compared to what I was used to, I have some issues. The videos in YouTube are lagging like crazy (although videos in VLC work fine) and the audio stutter sometimes. I listen to a lot of music and each few minutes, it will stutter for a split second. I never had that issue with CM11. Also, I can't find a kernel with bigmem on AOSP. There is the marmite kernel from bedalus which seemed promising, but everyone is having FC with the Google Play Store and BLN/BLD isn't working anymore on this kernel.
How does your ROM compare with CM11 ? I know yours is CM based. Is there less "bloatwares" in yours ? CM install lots of stuff (themes, bugs reporting, etc) and I don't want that. I prefer to use the Xposed Framework instead of a ROM with multiple settings that I don't use. Having a CM based ROM would be nice to be able to flash the Guru kernel.

It basically is CM11, a little less bloated, but similar feature set.. Give it a try, you can always flash another rom if it doesn't suite you.. Slim 5.1 is another favorite of mine, if you'd like to try that one you'll need to search their thread as it wasn't a public release..

Your "Farewell edition" is Kitkat 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 ? So that I can download the appropriate Gapps. I also understand that the Gapps you provide in your thread are a minimal package, so my Nexus S doesn't run out of space (which happened to me few months ago due to the new official Gapps package).
Thanks

Hi guys,
I am considering to use a customized ROM, because my stock ROM is really slow, and it has a lot of unnecessary apps from the manufacture.
My main concern is that, are customized ROMS stable enough to be used on a daily basis?
I have searched XDA about ROMs, and I found out that, even ROMs which have thousands of replies, there are still basic problems reported at the last pages of their thread, like:
- random mobile data signal lost
- can't send messages
- random reboot
- ...
Of course some of the problems might come from the users, for example, they might have configured their phones improperly. But there are still so many of them, which makes me hesitate to switch from the stock ROM to these customized ROMs.
What do you think about this?
If you don't like the bloatware, you can root your phone and uninstall them using some app such as Titanium Backup.
What rom are you thinking of?

Thank you for your suggestion.
I also intended to choose that method. But I want to know more about the customized ROMs before I make the final decision.
Currently I own a Samsung Note 2, and I intend to switch to one of these ROMs:
- [OFFICIAL][6.0.1][v6.1][STABLE]BlissRoms
- [ROM][N7100][6.0.1] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 13 [V4.6]
In your opinion, are these ROMs stable enough to be used on a daily basis?
I don't play games. I juse use my phone for basic stuff like:
- calling
- sending / receiving messages
- watching videos
- surfing internet
- taking notes
- taking pictures / videos
- ...
All I want is a fast, reliable, clean and stable ROM.
Android 6 is preferred, but not a must-have condition. If Android 5 is much more stable, I will choose it instead.
Maybe I would end myself on both of them if possible.

But I'm thinking to switch my GT-I9500's ROM to either Temasek's CM 12.1 or GearCM 13.

Hi everyone, so, i JUST got a New G3 2 days ago, and i have it unlocked, there is just too many Roms and they are not really sorted to know which is optimized best for what. tho i have the 2Gb Variant, it does noticeably lag in the UI and general use, and that's worrying me because the phone is still brand new, i only have TWO apps installed (whatsapp & instagram) and when i open whatsapp for example, i just see a white screen for like 3 seconds before it opens, instagram also works fine for like 3 min, but if i just scroll down too far a while, it starts lagging horribly then force close, i had 5.1 LP, then upgraded to MM 6.0, it was even slower and worse battery, so i downgraded back to 5.1, so i want to get a custom Rom but a light Rom to help with performance best than anything else.
thanks in advance.
Try Cyanogenmod 13 first. It's the "barebones" experience if you couple it with Opengapps Pico or Nano. That's what I use on my 1Gb variant and it works splendidly. The battery usage can be minimized with some apps like Amplify and Greenify. (Look for "Extreme battery guide" on XDA, there's a really good guide there)
Try Krexus-CAF it's lightweight and fast
Any aosp based ROM + firekernel + govtuner (avoid cyanogenmod) and I lf you want to have an adventure install microG (lightweight replacement for gapps)

FYI... Almost all of our ROMs are based on CM because there is no other working device tree. Even the "AOSP" roms are CM at their core on this device.

Not disagreeing with you... But there are no roms for the G3 or Turbo that are not borrowing the rom core from CM, except modified stock roms. They may say "AOSP" but the core is borrowed from CM and everything else is built on top of it.
Personally, I would love to see Purity, Chroma, or Plain-Andy make it to our device, but knowing they would still have an underlying CM base is almost insulting.

I have a Nvidia Shield Tablet K1. With official updates 5.3 & 5.4 having battery life problems even rooted, I am looking for a ROM to help/fix the battery life. I tried LineageOS 14.1 but it seems to suffer the same problems. Right now I am testing Dirty Unicorns 12.0 ROM (Oreo 8.1) which I installed and rooted with magisk that makes Google Play services able to be battery optimized. I am using Hibernation Manager to hibernate the CPU and all apps. Also, using Kernel Tookit for CPU governor. I have set all apps to not use mobile data. If I get any major problems, I will install official update 5.2.
For any Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 users: What is the best ROM and or official update that gives the best battery life and has little to no problems

Lineage 14.1. It does not have the battery issues of stock 5.3 and 5.4. I get 6 hours of SOT with it compared to under 2 hours with stock 5.4.

I was using an app that I've been using for about a year and it uses very little resources and the screen would get warm. It lasted only 2 hours. One cpu core would peg to 100% ever so often. So far Dirty Unicorns is way better and more stable.

Oreo ROMS on the Shield Tablet do not have hardware decoding enabled so watching HD video or playing some game games are impossible. This is why most people are not using them. There are no Oreo ROMs including Lineage 15 that are as stable as the Nougat ROMs
Lineage 14.1 comes out once a week every Saturday night. Updating is optional since it's 100% stable.

I am able to playback 720 HD YouTube , 1080p get choppy and Netflix video doesn't work. I am going to put a clean install of LineageOS 14.1 back on. I found out that the app Lifelink was causing battery drain. Others and I have reported it to the developer to fix it. How do you update LineageOS without losing data? I tried once and it got stuck on the boot animation.

After you clean install it, don't flash future updates in TWRP. Use the built in updater: Settings>About Tablet>LineageOS Updates. You can also turn on noticitaions when an update is available and just click on it. Both these ways will not delete your data.
Is flashing Lineage the only way to get decent performance out of a k1 now? I get lag spikes all the time and the system lags to a near crawl if I do anything when downloading and installing apps from the Play Store. Currently running stock 7.0

You can try other ROMs too. I'm sure most of them will be better than stock. Nvidia did something to the last 2 stock updates that has killed battery life. I get 3x the battery life with Lineage.

I need to do my research and see what issues/bugs the LineageOS builds have. I looked into the nightlys for the Axon 7 and there are too many issues/bugs (mostly audio related) for me to want to go through with flashing it.
Do most of the other ROMs pre-rooted? I've moved away from rooting and will not use a ROM with it baked in
Hello, good morning people. First of all excuse my English. I have been running my Shield Tablet for 3 years (replaced, that is, the old one) today I was given to turn it on and I wanted to install some ROM. Up to now, I have only Flashe Install SuperSU and Nomoreota. I am currently in 5.1.1. Should I install another ROM so that Nvidia does not kill my tablet? or with what I did is enough to be able to use it?

The one I currently like is this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...rom-hyperstock-mra58k-shield-k1-v1-5-t3522897
It's the latest stock 5.4.1 rom modified to be much nicer and still works with all the official Nvidia apps/games, and uses Magick instead of SuperSU (much nicer/cleaner and allows for modules to be installed), debloated but with also a lot of useful features added.
You'll need at least the 5.3 stock installed before you can flash the custom rom (it relies on the firmware that gets installed with 5.3)
The other option is LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.x) ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh...rom-hyperstock-mra58k-shield-k1-v1-5-t3522897 ) , I mainly had trouble getting bluetooth to work (though there's apparently a work around for that on page 81 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78823581&postcount=801 ) which I haven't tried because I'm already liking the above Stock+ rom with all the features enabled (including hardware acceleration), I might do a TWRP backup of everything and give it another go in a little bit and test.
There seems to be too much missing from any Oreo roms available, I'm hopeful, but doesn't look like the Shield is ever going to go past 7.0 officially that is (which is a big factor in how easy it is to make custom roms for it with full compatibility/features).
