Hey guys. Just a heads up for anyone unlocked with twrp installed - there's a bunch of aosp nougat roms over on the g4 plus thread that work on our phones. So far I've tried AOKP, CM 14.1, AICP, and I'm currently running Xenon HD. The only one I've tried that I didn't like was AICP. I just didn't like the feel, I can't really put my finger on why.
Also, they say you need to flash the soak test before flashing the roms. It's my understanding that's because of finger print sensor issues. We do not need to, as we don't have the sensor. I have the XT1625(US variant), so can't flash the soak test, and they've all worked so far.
I have tried them all also i like the new reserection the best but no theme chooser that really sucks plus no xposed yet
I used XPerience for over a week and really liked it, but the battery life wasn't as good as stock. Also, no overclock capability. So I am back on rooted stock/ElementX kernel. I also tried RR 5.8.0 but didn't like it at all. A lot different than the MM version that I used on my G2 for over a year.
All have worked for me but reverted back to stock as it still seems better. Just waiting on the official release.

Hi All
Long story short, my phone broke and samsung fixed it under warrantee. They returned it with the vodaphone 4.3 flavor OS which was bloated to bursting point with all the crap-ware they add. So naturally the phone was dead slow, which prompted me to flash it to the 4.3 BTU. The phone is quite fast now, but the updates don't work so I'm stuck with those dreaded initial 4.3 software bugs, wifi connectivity & battery drain to name just 2.
I'd like to know if there are any decent & stable 4.4 ROMs available? I have tried CM11 earlier this year, but that didn't work to well, it was quite buggy.
I'd love to be able to install the 4.4.x BTU, but as far as I can tell, it hasn't been released (yet?).
Advice would be great.
Thanks!

I never expirienced any strange bugs like eith new 4.3 uodates, try using some great custom 4.3 roms out here, like archidroid, neatrom, arhd etc. Just search and try, combine it with a custom kernel and your phone will be reborned.
4.4.x ism't and won't be released for s3, because, well, samsung is $#&*, but you have note2 4.4 ports, like QS kitkat Archiport, and s5 themed like Blekota etc. But these 4.4 ports are having graphical glitches which occur for some, for some not, but as I see, Lord Boeffla updated his Boeffla kernel and in new updates graphical glitches are gone, battery life is much better and wifi direct and screen mirroring are working.
So if you want best stability go with custom 4.3, if you want to test out the kitkat experience which should be good now if combined with Boeffla kernel then go with some 4.4 port.
And don't forget, best rom threads are not allowed and will be closed by moderator, you should try what xda world has to offer and then decide.

How do I load a custom kernel? I've only ever flashed with Odin and then that was just the ROM.
Just as a matter of interest, 4.4 has been released for the S3 on certain carriers.
Flash the kernel through your custom recovery.
Only the versions of the s3 which have 2gb of ram have kitkat..other versions do not including the international version

Just as Pulseuser mentioned, 4.4 is released only for i9305 LTE variant of s3.
About custom kernel, the easiest method is to root your phone using cf-autoroot, just google cf auto root and download the .tar.md5 for Odin for i9300 S3. Then when your phone is rooted download ROM Manager from playstore and install Clockwork Mod recovery, then reboot to the recovery via rom manager app and choose install zip from sdcard, fin your custom kernel/rom or whatever you want to flash and then tap yes and reboot, but first copy your custom kernel/rom on sdcard.
It is very easy, you even have tutorials on youtube on how to flash something via CWM recovery.
I'm looking for help selecting a ROM that is stable. I've flashed about a half dozen ROMS over the past few months and seem to have to switch because of bugs. Maybe it's because I get whatever is the newest. But I only have three requirements:
STABLE
NFC/Isis/Softcard compatible (even via mod)
Like S5 apps/styling
I really like being able to so *#0011# to see if I'm in AWS mode, but isn't required. I can't seem to do it with AOSP ROMS
Thank you

Chaos ROM has an S5 theme...
Most stable ROM I've seen is Eclipse though.
If you want stability and s5 features with NFC, go for hyperdrive, its also customizable. If you want a aosp ROM, do eclipse. Those are prob the best Roms for the s4
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...

Currently I am on Hyper v10 NougatUX 4.4.4 its a great Rom with many features .
You have also Atila Rom v7 it is very lite T.W 4.4.4
Is there any word and when a ROM will be available or one legged from the 8.3?
Well, bro, currently Im working on a complete slim rom (based on stock of course, until cm comes alive for this device).
Right now the only ROM i have been able to achieve is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ipioneer-stock-0-1-lgv521-stock-t3507248
Is 100% stock and rooted, but like I said I'm currently working in a DEODEXED, INIT.D, xtreme DEBLOAT, ROOT, BUSYBOX and etc...
Hopefully is gonna be ready soon, myy work get most of my time and my family too.
Right now this SLIM ROM Im working on (iPioneer Slim 0.1) is installed on my tablet, Im testing it and watching for things breaking... It need more test and configurations before I release it.
It is here finally: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...rom-ipioneer-slim-0-1-lg-g-pad-x-8-0-t3513030
iPioneer Slim 0.1
Enjoy it...
Hey would you happen to have the Canadian V-522 figured out?

hello, i ve been looking for a good rom for this device, but it seems that is not that much supported by rom. I saw Pacman rom but the thread was closed which means not supported anymore. so do you recommend any rom ? because my htc one max became laggy and such or do you suggest any mods to the current stock rom? or any ported rom ?
Thanks
I didn't try every possibility but... I found that the sense 7 5.0.2 rom by yankee worked the best on my Sprint onemax.
I couldn't get most others to work well... Usually data did not work. CM12 or CM13 didn't work for me...

I'm running CM13 (cf. https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_t6vzw) or, if you don't wish to build it yourself, you can download Flyhalf's excellent ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3260857
Both run just fine on my OneMax.
HTHAL
There doesnt seem to be much support for this device anymore. Ive been following Fly's CM13 build. its really awesome and really stable. Ive tried the Nusense 6 and it was a great rom but i liked the CM 13 better and thats currently my daily driver.
Have a look here.
https://theunlockr.com/roms/android-roms/htc-roms/htc-one-max-roms/
Thinking of getting a Max.
Probably will just doing a bit of research first.
I guess it missed the Marshmallow update?
