Like the title already says i am looking for the best ROM for the Galaxy S4 to use everyday so it has to be stable and bugfree.
The reason why i dont want the stock touch wiz rom anymore is that it lets only 9gb free on my 16 gb model.
Please recommend me ROMs that are reliable and if possible also with the ability to move Apps to the SD Card.
Thanks and greetings
Any rom is stable and no rom is bugfree.
Couldnt you have posted in one of the 3268 existing best ROM threads

Best as in what the hell is subjectivity.
I would recommend
Lollipop german version.
Echoerom.
But for you. Try the cm12 alucard and antaresone's rom. I find it refreshing . Bonus: it's like 400mb in total. Including gapps.:good:
I find the GPE roms to be very good.
I tried the CM12 Optimzed builds and faced several problems.
With the GPE roms I've never had any trouble. Also have great battery life.
Hello, I'm planning to buy this phone because it seems to be pretty good and its only $130 in my town. I love the fact that it is XDA-supported(in terms of ROMs, recoveries etc.). I have a couple of questions:
1) How is the bootloader of Redmi 2 unlocked? Can you link me a guide or what? I heard that Xiaomi started locking up its bootloaders, but I don't know if it applies to this specific device.
2) Which is the best ROM in terms of stability, battery life and performance?
1) No the bootloader is not locked. (Till Now)
Ultimate Guide (Rooting to Flashing Roms)
2) CM13.0

You mean this ROM? Also, I'm planning to buy the 1 GB RAM/8 GB variant of the phone. Should I be careful when flashing custom ROMs in that matter? I mean, are there any significant differences from 2 GB RAM/ 16 GB variant apart from RAM and internal storage size? Also, should I tune my CPU when I flash CM 13 as explained in this thread?

Yes that's the rom i am talking about.
There is no significant difference in the two variants apart from ram and storage. You can flash any available rom on both the variants.
The tuning is not necessary, i am running CM13.0 without it and its awesome !!
Hi.. so I have been using my LG G Pad 7.0 v400 for the past 3 months and I would like to share my thoughts about what I have been using
My tablet came with stock 4.4.2 KitKat which is pretty good when it comes to features.. But speaking about performance.. It may not be the best out there..
I rooted it and modified it as much as I could.. Deleted so many stock not useful apps and installed Xposed with a lot of modules but it is still not as I expected.. I installed kernel auditor and put CPU and GPU governors as "performance".. It got better but then again.. Not as I expected..
Speaking about CM12.1 (CAF by SultanXDA) it was the best performance experience.. Very fast and smooth and it has almost no bugs at all.. Games are great and everything seemed to be amazing.. But the huge issue I faced was the internal memory.. ART uses so much more money than Dalvic (for example Facebook app is 225 MB in lollipop.. 35 MB in KitKat [on Dalvic]) so I had to go back to the laggy KikKat again..
I didn't try stock 5.0.2 well because it's not 5.1.1 and it has the same internal memory issue.. (same thing about CM13)
I know you can just say use Link2SD and move your apps.. Ok but that's not what I am looking for..
Why don't we have a stable CM11 (4.4.4) with great performance and enough internal memory? It may sound weird since we already have CM13 but I really think that CM11 will be the best experience for our lovely tablet..
Thanks for reading this.. Tell me what you think.. Have a good time
How are you, users? I know about the Pokemon Go fever is affecting everyone ... but let the matter.
I have a Redmi 2 (1GB), and I know that recommended by the Niantic is the utilization of an Android phone with 2GB of RAM. But the game can run normally in the official MIUI!, in other case, M based custom rom's are soo laggy...
Anyone know why or a solution or a custom rom good for that?
I'm asking because recently bought a sd card uhs-1 and miss Adoptable storage, and pure android. :crying:
Okay, let's go!
Android M is really heavier in RAM than the stock KitKat. I saw this playing Pokémon GO. After trying many ROMs and kernels, LMK values, optimized KSM, ZRAM, the game continued to crash, slowdown. Well, the problem could be only one: RAM.
After this I started to search a debloated KK rom. KitKat is lighter than LP and MM. And I found this: http://forum.miuirom.com.br/index.php?threads/rom-miui-8-miui-brasil-e-miui-global-6-7-21.506/
The download link is: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424948969 (for Redmi2 1GB)
Its a debloated version of KK MIUI8. Its blazing fast, and runs Pokémon GO fine, without any problems. I am learning something to develop a KK kernel with more features to this, specially to improve battery life. Maybe it will be available in next weeks.
Well, lets catch Pokémon!
Thanks, Dan_Jacques! I'm facing the same problem but I'm looking for a stable, non-MIUI KitKat rom. Would you happen to know any?

It's made from MIUI Brazil community. I liked the overall performance. It's a MIUI8 KK debloated.

I've tried it and really liked it, but I had two problems with it: wasn't getting push notifications (from Whatsapp messages, for example), and couldn't install Google Play Music. I think I'll try it again sometime, maybe with the next update!!

My redmi 2 is 16gb storage and 2gb of ram. On custom roms pokemon go always laggy even mine is 2gb of ram. On the other hand when i use miui 7/8 th game is so smooth. The only problem is that, miui 8 that i used has problem with vpn. It says its connected but ip address does not change. I dont have vpn problem on custom roms only on miui.
Hopefully someday there will be a custom rom/kernel that can solve the laggy problem. Btw miui 8 on mine runs on lollipop

You can try the MIUI8 KK through fastboot. I think if I can flash LP MIUI8 on my 1GB Redmi2, you can flash KK MIUI8 on your 2GB Redmi2 :laugh:

Do you have vpn problem on miui 8 LP? If KK can fix my vpn problem i would be very happy. The reason why i use LP is because i got it LP first on miui 7.5 via OTA. So maybe its necessary to keep using LP.

I dont use VPN. But... how can I see the issue happening? I can test the MIUI KK

U can try checking ip buy typing "what is my ip" on default browser or firefox. Dont use chrome.
Then connect to vpn check ip again. See if the ip change or not. If the ip change it means no vpn problem.
This problem only occurs when i use mobile data. If i use wifi, vpn works just fine
does this debloated KK MIUI8 offers the option of installing apps to the SD card?
Hi every one
I am on stock MM, and noticed that the android OS is using 5.11 GB out of my poor 16 GB storage.
Is there a custom ROM that use less amount of storage?
Can you guys post you're ROM and the amount of storage it's using?
Thanks!
This is memory reserved by the system, and not actually used by it. It doesn't depend on rom size. You'd have to resize your partitions to do anything about it.
