Use ROM despite EOL status?

Hello,
I want to flash a custom-ROM on my Samung Galaxy S3 gt-i9300. I found the ROM "ArchiDroid" and wanted to use the version 3.1.5. But now I found out that it is in EOL status. Can I still use it? Or are there any saftey issus or anything else because it gets no updates anymore.
If I can't use it or you just have an alternative ROM which you think is better to ArchiDroid feel free to recommend it. I am searching for a ROM which is stable and increases the performance. Those are the two most important aspects to me.
Tank you in advance

Thanks for your recomendation. I already took a look at CyanogenMod but the last stable version is pretty old. It is CM 10.2. So i searched a newer ROM.

J7 CM13 ROM question

Hi I just recently signed up to XDA. I'm not a total noob as I have been using XDA for my S3 for a few years now, with great success. Now I have a new J7 (sm-j700m). I just upgraded the stock 5.1.1 to stock 6.0.1, installed TWRP 3.0.2-0, encrypted it, flashed SuperSU, then flashed xposed-wanam. Pretty happy with it right now. However, I miss Cyanogenmod. I see messi2050 had a popular rom but abandoned it, handing the reins over to aapav01, on this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-j7-t3363465
[ROM][6.0.1][UNOFFICIAL][j7elte] CyanogenMod 13 for Galaxy J7 [SM-J700F/H/M]
I would be posting in that thread, but since this is a new account, it won't let me, and so I'm posting here in hopes you guys see it.
All that being said, here is what I came here to say: I'm willing to donate in BTC on a monthly basis for a basic, functional CM rom that is stable and provides monthly security patches. No need to add any special features, I can do that myself. This ROM hasn't been updated since 20160624. So, is it still being developed, or abandoned in favor of CM14? Should I install it and provide logs to The_grim_creeper, or has everyone given up on it?

bump. Maybe I shouldn't have added the poll to my post?

Hi
unfortunately a camera fix is not possible atm so it may never be stable even if the auto reboot / incall audio problems got fixed as the camera bug will stay their

You arent needed to answer him that an LineageOS 14.1 ROM for J7-2015 is now aired in these few days, but he is needed to search by himself for the XDA thread.

Can't get much better than the stock rom that comes with it. Can't get much more stable. Why go to custom rom?

No random bluetooth, cellular and wifi driver crashes on this?

Here is the Optimized stock rom for you. You don't need computer to flash it as you can flash it via custom recovery like twrp.

None of them for me.

Try pure nexus ROM,very few app come out of the build and install only what you need.Very stable for me

Stock... You need stock ROM for this situation, it is the most stable and battery friendly and the least confusing. At least they could ask someone who has general familiarity with Android questions without going into menus on Res Remix or AICP or something that would confuse them.
The situation calls for simplicity, stability, and functionality... stock is the best choice. If you don't have your backup, look around here, there are plenty of tutorials on how to go back to stock.

Go with stock rom

I was also looking for a stable ROM for Moto G3 XT1541. Interesting to see all the recommendations here to stay with the stock ROM. My reason for considering a custom ROM was that I've stopped getting system updates: last was around June with Android patch security level 1 April 2017 so I've assumed no more updates are being issued. I'm not comfortable using a system that isn't getting security updates, so is a custom ROM the way to go?
(Hope this isn't considered thread hijacking, happy to post as new thread if so.)

Stock or LineageOS, as they don't have unnecessary customizations.

What Stock-based ROM are you still using (2018)?

Just got a spare Z3, and since this device has been quite inactive on developments and such, the most preferred route is to stay stock for stability.
Now, I looked on our Android Development section and there seems to have a couple of stock-based ROMs which are good, and now, even in 2018, I was wondering what stock-based ROMs you guys are still using?
Any bias comments are welcome as long as it's spoken through experience. Also, a combination of Stock-based ROM a Custom Kernel would be nice to hear as well, if you use those.
Thanks guys for noticing~
:good:

Ever heard of OFFICIALLY supported
I use carbon Rom. It's supported officially.

Any ways to use cyberian camera on carbon oreo? Right now im using existenz on my z3c, everything is ok and it has tones of customizations i can recommend for z3 too. But the best rom for battery is still slimm rom. Whatever lets turn back to my question, only because it is not possible use cyberian cam on carbon oreo i will go for carbon nougat with xperia ui. Can you share your experience with snapdragon camera if you use oreo version?

i have djust used the default camera app that came preinstalled with the rom. as 3rd party apps arent as good as stock. And its really good enough.
and i dont like to use outdated roms still on 6.0 M
im a crazy chronic updater.

search in the Carbon or Omni Thread, someone posted magisk Modules for this
There should also be a guide in there for (regular) flashing this.

[Q] Experience with LOS-legacy ROMs?

Hi everybody,
I recently got an S6 edge in my hands and wanted to flash Lineage OS (as I'm already familiar to it). I found this site:
https://www.los-legacy.de/
Does anybody know if the ROM developpers are known and if the ROMs are as safe and secure as the official builds were? I would really appreciate an experience report as I am still very insecure about those ROMs.

all custom roms here have three big bugs and that's echo on call,bad camera and battery drain so if use daily then stay on stock rom or use stock based like marduck or ultimate nougat 3.1 is great too which is based on port from s8

Hi becho, thanks for your information. I wasn't aware that the echo on call bug is in every custom ROM - thats a good advice for me. I'll go for a stock based ROM as you suggested.

My roms are safe because they are created with a private key and not with a test key from lineageos.
The builds I currently use are all MicroG builds.
For s6 I don't give support anymore as I don't own the device anymore.
For normal Rom you will find here
Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development
For unified AOSP type ROMs, kernels and mods., suitable for multiple S6 / S6 Edge versions
forum.xda-developers.com
And yes look at my xda profile there you will find all my builds that I have published.
