UK GT-I9505: Which is the most stable Android 5.0 or 5.1 ROM?
I usually only install Cyanogmod but I'm pretty sure their Lollipop builds are all still in Nightly. I'm only interested in stable builds.
My GT-I9505 is from Everything Everywhere in the UK (who still haven't released lollipop).
Thanks.
As of CM11 there are only two release channels: Nightly and M Snapshot. You want the M Snapshot if you want a stable release.
All custom ROMs not based off Touchwiz or the Google Play Edition firmware are Cyanogenmod-based. All are suitable for daily use.
Thanks Strephon.
Do you have a specific example of a stable S4 ROM? They maybe all based on CM (I didn't know that) but imagine some are more reliable than others.
I read about the M snapshots thanks .
p.s. Stable being used generally. I'm aware CM used to use Stable as a specific naming convention.
Thanks Strephon.

The GPE rom. It's the most stable and bug free rom I have used.
But pretty much all roms I have used have run without major issues

Hi guys, I've just recently purchased a U8800 (NOT pro, just the normal one).
I did some research already and the more I read, the more confused I am. It seems that many roms, especially the MIUI ones all have similar problems related to performance, wifi issues etc.
And speaking of MIUI roms, I'm not sure which one is the better one (in terms of speed and stability). Here're the ones I'm referring to:
[ROM] MIUI V4 based Elite ROM SX - (Stable) - 2012-07-14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562661
[ROM][MIUI-V4][2.8.3][3.0.8]CrazyMiui|08/05|{SMOOTH,FAST AND STABLE}

MIUI PORTUGAL V4 - 2.9.29.1 (Base GenoKolar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928336&highlight=miui
It seems that some of them are based on GenoKolar's MIUI rom, and that some are based on other people's roms.
The same applies to other non-MIUI roms, such as this one:
[ROM] Elora 1.10.13 - 2012-10-13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798031
which is a hybrid of DZO's Alora rom and some extra added stuff from other roms.
Anyway, I'm really confused by which one to try. I don't want to risk bricking my device or going through the trouble of testing each one and experiencing the problems or bugs, and then try the next one and so on. I was wondering if someone could kindly provide some suggestions as to which rom is the most stable and is decent in terms of speed/performance.
Also, by stable I mean that it has the least bugs OR that it has the minimum amount of critical bugs that could affect the phone's daily use.
Thanks in advance.
Personally i think that for daily use ezet's CyanogenMod 7.2 with .32 kernel is the best considering performance,battery etc. but it is kind of outdated since dzo has made a pretty stable ICS rom(Aurora) which is a lot newer and smoother but with a few bugs remaining. Not to mention that dzo is from the same city as you haha!

Thanks for your reply!
Ya I also think that CM 7.2 is quite outdated, even my Motorola Milestone (which has locked bootloader and no custom kernel support until recently) is on an even newer CM RC release, I think it's on RC3 or RC4 now.
And ya I also agree that Dzo's Aurora rom is probably the most updated one around here but I did read a few comments in the last few pages about certain bugs so I dunno if I should flash it or not.....
I prefer Aurora 4.1u1 for daily use. There's still some bugs, but with some time and understanding of how to find the reason of your problem you'll get the most recent and stable ROM for U8800 now. Also Dzo's back and he is working on the update now so it wouldn't take long to fix all the bugs remaining.
Hi!
Actually i'm with Elora. It's pretty cool and stable.
Best regards
MIUI PT, based on Geno's version is the way to go., in my oppinion.
Very stable, nice and weekly updated
But, honestly speaking, althought every rom as its ups and downs, nothing like you try them all and see which one adapts better to your needs. :good:
So I'm looking forward to get Cyanogenmod on my S4 (i9505). Well the question is which Version I should get: CM12, CM11 or CM10. According to Cyanogenmod, some CM10 Version is the actual release Version, but for me Android 4.3 is too old (running lollipop custom rom atm). I was browsing xda and I found these Versions:
1. Unofficial CM12.1 (Android: 5.1): http://goo.gl/itgzzV
It's an unofficial Version Optimized by some really popular Devs on xda.
2. Unofficial CM12: http://goo.gl/xK7x52
This one is an optimized CM12 of the same Devs with the CM12.1 project
3. Official CM12 nightlies: http://goo.gl/LtKtcG
4. Optimized CM12: http://goo.gl/PZ8AkO
This is an optimized version of CM12 in terms of speed
So these are just some CM12 Roms, which one should I get and why? If you have other suggestions pls list them, I will include them as well in this thread or make a list of all Cyanogenmod Versions for the i9505.
Thanks for reading through this thread and thanks for all answers
Hello mate,
I'm the developer of the first two and official maintainer of the third, as you can notice yourself. Firstly, I want to correct:
-except official CM12 nightlies, all the other three are unofficial: one is Optimized CM12.1, one Optimized CM12 and the last one is SaberMod CM12
My suggestion is to not install CM12.1 for now as daily driver since it's unstable (audio issues in calls) and I need time to fix.
The best thing would be to try out both three and choose to keep the one which suits more your needs
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
I have flashed only 2 roms on my device. GPE and the optimized builds by AntaresOne.
The optimzed builds are pretty fast and stable, but there are some bugs and issues.
On the latest CM12 optimized build, for instance, I can't move apps to SD. It says that I don't have enough space. And there are some issues with restoring apps using titanium backup.
I don't know how stable and bug-free the nightlies are, but I don't think they compare to the other CM12 in terms of speed and resource usage. There is a reason why they put "Optimzed" in the thread title
It depends mostly on what you want and what you're looking for in a rom.
Hi, I'm planning on moving to an AOSP KitKat ROM, I haven't tried any KitKat ROMs before considering I got my phone with Lolipop. So if somebody could recommend the most stable KitKat ROM out of experience, that would be great. Thanks in advance.
I would recommend SlimKat 9. I put this rom on all of the devices I have. It never fails me. The developer team is great, they plan their SDLC very well. The functions/features included are sensible and helpful. Even their Alpha build is stable enough to be daily drive. You can find their post here:
SlimKat on XDA Forum

Hello everyone
I have a I9500 with Exynos processor running android 5.0.1, Baseband- I9500DDUHOA1, Build number- XXUHOF3.
I was generally happy with My phone but all hell broke lose after last update. Battery life doesnt last more than 2-3 hours. GPS doesnt lock at all. The phone hangs too much. Wifi signal is poor.
I can factory reset the phone (Since I didnt do it since several OTA updates) but I am wondering even that might not solve the problem and I should flash some good and stable ROM.
My issue is I Dont Know which one is a good and stable ROM. There are so many options and I feel very lost. Therefore I would be thankful if anyone can guide Me to which ROM should I install. My goal is simple- a fast working stable phone. Nothing fancy required.
I have flashed ROMS on My earlier phone Galaxy S (I9000) so I am not a novice and can do it if instructions are provided in the thread.
Thanks in advance.
Fast shouldn't be an issue, since practically any custom rom is faster than touchwiz.
I don't know much about the I9500 roms since I, myself, haven an I9505. But there is a rom called ressurection remix which seems to be available for both devices. I'm running it now and its fast and stable so far.
I'm using slimkat ASOP rom and it's nice and stable
Thanks for the replies. How is the default Cynagonmod? Any good?
Cm 12.1
Default Cm is maintained by Alberto with someone else .
If you want best cm experience use his own Gearcm 11,12,12.1 builds .
They are currently at a more advanced level of development than his own official Cm builds .
All are good . Look it up in original android i9500 forum .
Try gearcm 12.1 optimized by alberto96. It is rock stable,performance is also good. U can find it in i9500 original android development. Enjoy
And also for TW based rom halcyon rom is very much popular, u can find it in i9500 android development.
Thanks a lot for replies. Would it be possible to point Me to a link for downloading and installing this. I guess I should try with Gear CM 12.1?
Hows the gps and battery life on that?

Look here on xda we expect you to find it yourself. There is an entire section dedicated to custom roms.
Hi all,
I'm new on the S4.. I currently use the optimized CM version based on 5.1.1 but I'm not happy with it.. Too many bugs.. I just want to ask you which is currently the best stable rom for my device.. Of course I know that Marshmallow isn't stable.. So I'm looking for a good 5.X rom..
Thanks!
[jflte] gpe 5.0
Does it have a good battery drain? I don't find anything about it in the thread ..
I'm using AOSP 6.0.1 from JDCTeam and I'm absolutely happy with it. I never had any problem with it. Before I used various 5.x ROMS and had problems over problems.
Hope I could help you (even if it's not 5.x)
Both CM 12.1 snapshot and current CM13 nightly are quite stable. So if your phone has bugs running these ROMs, chances are you did something wrong or it is hardware problem.
Optimised CM by JDC is a great rom but since there are too many tweaks / mods in this rom, stability is quite subjective. If you want stable rom, go for stock CM.

The link provided by 3mel is correct. That's the ROM I'm currently using.
