Stock ROMs vs Custom ROMs - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So what are your opinions on stock vs custom ROMs?
I generally use custom roms. Are stock ROMs considered to be more stable and bug free?
I find Cyanogen usually has some bugs

Too soon to say, it will take a while untill we can get some stable roms.

I always was happy with cyanogen mod on the i9000, it was running smoother and in case of cm7 even had vorher battery life than stock roms. However the problem with cm always was that we never got a final build, cm7 is outdated already and cm9 is running on most cm'd devices and cm7 is at rc3 now. But i am pretty sure i will give cm a try again when it will be available for the g3.

is it true that custom roms begin to lagg after a while ? and more and more ram is used ? i only need boeffla sound mod , if i stay with stock sammy and boeffla kernel its as stable as pure stock?

After trying most of the ROMs here i can honestly say that in most cases sammy based roms are more stable and provide better battery life. Personally I don't like the touchwiz interface... it all depends if you're willing to sacrifice battery and go with something different like MIUI.

[Q] Most stable ROM

Hello my friends,
i'm using the neutrino ROM in my atrix phone but I need a more stable ROM. A ROM with 100% of functionality or near that.
Which ROM you consider the most stable at this moment ?
Thanks for the attention
I use a variety of roms from the MIUI port to CM7 and all the way back around to Darkside and i have to say that Darkside is your best bet for a Blur rom if you want, it not i have found the CM7 ICS Final to be a stable CM7rom.

thanks for your reply. So, for you the ROM based on darkside is the best ROM (stable) at this moment. Do you tested the Neutrino ROM ?
thanks for the attention.
I think you have to better clarify what you mean by stable. You also allude to functionality which aren't entirely the same. To many, CM7 is stable, but if you're looking for BLUR functions, CM7 wont have that.
What functions/features are you looking for/must have and/or what are you missing?
I need use the Dock, HDMI output, video conference and support to other languages. I'm using Neutrino GT ROM. That's awesome ROM, with awesomes features but, for example, I having issues with simples functions as chosing other languages. I receive keyboard error and i cant find solution for that. That's is just example of issues.
Did you test this ROM ?
thanks for the attention

[Q] Whats the difference between CM 10 to CM 10 nightly?

Currently i have VK ROM (based on 4.1.2 leak) but got tired of those samsung based ROMs and choose to go back to AOKP/AOSP ROMs like CM 10.
Ive seen that there is a "regular" version and another one named nightly. whats the difference between the two?which one is more stable/giving better battery life?
also,if you have it i would like to recommand me on speciefic version (like,the build's release date) and with which kernel it worked better.
(recommanding other combination of ROMs and kernel will be good as well)
thank you! :good:

By "regular" i think you are referring to "stable" releases, as it implies stable releases are having the lowest or no bugs in the entire release cycle. The nightlies are having high chance of major bugs and issues and is not recommended for daily use.
This link will give you everything you need
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
Also I recommend the stable version for downloading from the rom download list
There are two 7.2.0(Gingerbread) and 9.1.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) as stable releases.
There are several good roms based on CM10 (which currently has only nightlies) like ReVolt, Resurrection Remix(which are stable).
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

Sugest I9300 stable rom for daily use as of 2016.

Hello. I know that this question is asked a million times, but answers to them are already obsolete. Currently am looking ( I am sure I am not the only one) for headache-free, stable and fast ROM as my daily driver. I just want to install a ROM, tweak it a little if I have to and be sure it will work me for another year or so (I am to tired to flash 3rd ROM in a row to see it have major problem).
So if someone would post a brief information about ROM you are using, any custom modification, setting tweaking, flashed custom kernel and potential tradeoffs You The Real MVP.
My experencie with Rom's so far:
Archidroid v3.0.2 (kitkat)
Previously I used as a daily driver which really worked nice for me, until I got infamous "google services stopped worked" which I fixed only by turning google location service (making some cool aps unusable) . Shame, it is the best ROM I tried. The only problem I had was for camera sometimes freezing in black screen, but it happened very rarely.
There was suggestion to re-flash this ROM with flashing never GAPS from OpenGAPS project. Tried, but again got "google services stopped worked". I saw some other workarounds I could try, but I want to be sure there isn't anything better before I try it.
Archidroid v3.1.5 (Lolipop)
Based on lollipop, everything works reliably, BUT much slower then on Kitkat version. Though strangely, decreasing dpi to 240 improved performance dramatically. Many users agree that 3.0.2 is still the better one.
Cyanogenmod-13 (Marshmallow)
Looks promising, fast out of the box with some interesting features. However still buggy (torch not working on lock screen, chrome/ radio crashes phone and so on).
So far as I understand best ROM's are based on Kitkat - Lollipop and Marshmallow needs more ram to run effectively then s3 has. So even some developers suggest sticking to older Android versions. I also heard Boeffla kernel is the best one though I didn't try it personally. What makes it so special ?
Try Liquid Smooth KK rom with boeffla kernel
CyanogenMod 11
Hello,
if you want a stable and battery save ROM, I would prefer CyanogenMod 11 Nightly!

Heh, thanks. I actually flashed cyanogenmod 11 stable and indeed,its stable as it should. Was some problems flashing OpenGAPS but managed to fix flashing version without Aroma installer.
Could anyone tell more about boeffla kernel? What is so special about it ? I know that I can tweek some settings, but I am not going to trade stability for +100 benchmark points.

I use boeffla on all roms because of boeffla sound tweaks and easy zram setup.
Best rom is pacman kk rom, all features in one, bugless...
If u need i will send u gapps that i used before on that rom and worked great.
Only thing it doesnt work, like on all kk, lp and probably mm is noise supression for viber/whatsapp calls. I tried all kk, most lp roms, tried everything to enable ns for voip but it could not be enabled.
Touch wiz rom i recommend is ncsrom, most lightweight rom, fast and stable, made with boeffla kernel...

What is the best for redmi note 4 Miui or custome roms

I tried all found that MIUI is more stable than other Rom. RR and lineage have some bugs. I didnt found any on MIUI. What are your thoughts guys.
Maybe the best of the two worlds? A custom ROM based on MIUI?
My next try will be surely the Mi-globe ROM, where you can also choose the components to be included.
I prefer custom rom.
Using AOSP Extended and it's nice.
Give it a try.
Custom rom will have some bugs that's main issue. If I wanna use rom for daily driver it should be bug free. So Native roms of device are better than custom ones. It can be used by rooting and doing tweaks to official roms.
I'm having issue with gps while using MIUI. Maybe it's just my phone.
Haven't try custom MIUI.
Currently I'm using Slim rom because I prefer stock Android experience. No issue with gps.
dude seriously!!! Custom Roms Like Aex/Rr are officially Fully Stable no Bug On Em.. only minor Bugs Which are negligible so If u want to try ill recommend Aex Which is fully stable and u can use it as daily driver without any problem and battery backup is same on all rom it depends on ur usages.

I will give it a try Aex( I tried MIUI 9 china beta ,lineage OS and Rr)
I guess it depends on the end user. I mean, I have used MIUI, COOL UI, Zen UI etc. I would say, every ROM is good in their own. I personally prefer stock ROM. One of the reason for me is that Custom ROM (Cool UI on Coolpad Note 5) sometimes creates laggy experience.
The main thing that I didn't like in MIUI is some of the cool notification things that are present in Stock Android. That's why I switched to Lineage, Resurrection Remix, and finally on AOSP Extended.

Daily use rom

Recommended rom for daily use ?
Stock rom or there is ones way better
Any 4.4 based rom. Stock or CM based should do the work. However touchwiz based is better.
Threads like these have no place because it is personal preference. Stock roms are the most reliable and efficient. Custom roms are less reliable, less efficient but customised.
