Hi:
I want to install a stable ROM (not RC, not nightly build) , preferably 10.1 Jelly Bean for my Optimus G E973. I am in Canada, so I have the E973 instead of the E975.
cyanogenmod has a stable version for E975, but not E973.
So it won't work with my device, correct?
They recommended me to come here and ask if XDA has a stable mod for E973.
Please let me know. All Help is greatly appreciated.
The most stable is Paulicat's AOKP, but the current build has one issue with the kernel which he is fixing. Once that is fixed, it should be stable, he's not basing it off of nightlies. I wish that the devs would build stable ROMs in addition to all the nightlies, but I guess if they did that they would have nothing to develop

Oh and most of the ROMs for the AT&T variant will run on our phone, just the notification light doesn't work as far as I can tell.
Houstonn's RootBox is very stable. Updates are coming less frequently, and they mostly new features, not bug fixes. Works extremely well on the E971, which is virtually the same as the E973 (just different radio frequencies).

Hi:
what exactly is the major difference between E975 and E973? from what I read in the specs, it is just mostly regional differences. E975 is an European release, where E973 is North American release.
So, in theory, i SHOULD be able to run Cynagogen Mod E975 on E973, correct?
The cameras are different but you could try an e973 kernel and it might work.

Ok, besides Cyanagenmod, what other choices do I have as for a stable E973? Can someone post a link here so I can research and look into the matter?
Thanks

Why don't you just read through the Canadian development forum and try a few of the ROMs there?
RootBox, AOKP, and CyanogenMod threads in the Canadian sub-forum (which even has E973 in the forum name) all cover this.

rootbox definitely for me... even though the developer updates every day or two... you dont need to update...
it is working amazingly stable for me... never had a lock up or reboot... and the battery is pretty decent too

Which nightly are you on right now? And are you using the included kernel? Just wondering...
I am on june 28th, yep using stock kernel with stock voltage settings (noticed quite a lot of issues if i undervolted it any further)...
Hey Everyone! please tell me which is the most stable sense and non sense rom??? Which rom and kernel combination is the best?? I have already checked out the similar threads but most of them are outdated so please help me out thanks
I can't speak for Sense ROMs but I've been running Chillybean's CM10 ROMs for the past few months -- only a few bugs with sound and reboots up until the most recent 20130929 build (CM10.2 / JB 4.3).

All of chillybeans's 4.3 roms that is cm10.2 beanstalk 4.3 don't have working gsm if you want gsm I would recommend Leoposas's Zoe Rom its cm10.1 and runs really great
I saw this thread on how to enable gsm on Verizon mobiles running up to 4.4 but I tired to use it on chillys PacRom 4.3....
I wonder if am doing it all right or does the rom have no gsm support at all
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
well it really all depends if you like sense or if you like aosp or aokp. if you just want a good rom for daily basis id suggest a sense rom. if you're into customization then more than likely you're gonna want to go with aosp or aokp. but with you using gsm those roms are kinda iffy seeing as a lot of them for gsm use are still in the works. if you do want an aosp rom tho id suggest cm7 i do believe for most builds they do have gsm working or you can try the global roms made for gsm or that Zoe rom if you're wanting to be on jellybean. ive got cdma so my options arent as limited. hope this helps in some way.
You should all try Chillybean's fly-CM10.2 its really fast and smooth and has working gsm its 4.3
Yeah its a pretty cool rom. Still having a bit of problems in the cm source tho like with screenshots and torch but its definitely worth check out.
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------
And the thing with the gsm patch even tho it says it will enable gsm on verizon cdma phones doesnt mean it will work on all devices and patches dont always fix the problem if its deeper upstream related. Hope this helps.
Downloaded and flashed chillys cm10.2 minus the screenshot problem, absence of nav bar, buggy status bar when using xposed tinted status bar....its an awesome smooth ROM, a nic bream from the constant reboots of the 4.2 ROMs.
Thanks for the info
I've tried all of Chilly's ROMs, and the most stable for me is 10.2 (4.2.2) Slim Bean. All of the others eventually slow down and require frequent reboots. At this point, I don't know if it's something in the rom, or the B-Team kernel, but I think I've settled into SlimBean with the "stock" Chilly-evervolv kernel. It's the fastest/snappiest, and hopefully stays that way.
The only thing I'm missing is the CM Voice+ app.
I'm not sure which post I found it in, but this stock rom minus most Verizon crud is called
6.01.605.05_VZW__OTA-stripped-odex.zip
It's stabled but not "new".

The fly one is modded fly is the name of the mod whereas the other is pure stock. Look up fly mod in the Android development section for details of the mod

What do you mean by the "stock" chilly-evervolv kernel? I've been searching for a bit and can't find it. I've had the same issue with the slowdowns and I'd like to give this one more shot before reverting back to the sense roms.

"Stock" in this case means the kernel that comes with Chilly's 10.2 slim bean, as opposed to a kernel like B-team that you have to download and flash separately.

I just tried Gummy and Slimkat yesterday. Gummy was ok, but no real improvement. I had AOKP 4.2.2 before. If anything, the navigation seemed to be more choppy. So I installed Slimkat and it's great! It's really really smooth and polished. No bugs that I've seen yet. It's fast and still has some of the customization that I wanted. Give it a try. Let me know if you try any other ones.

x2 on playfulgod's rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525351 I have been using the nightley downloads to this rom (ocasionally) and then update to the latest gapps file.
what about the battery life on this ROM ?
Cmetal or omnimetal are great ROMs, I've been on every Cmetal release, with superram kernel, easily get about 3 hours screen time and 10% battery to spare! Been my daily driver for about a month, tried other 4.4 Roms as well, but came back to Cmetal
sent from my GNEX running cMetal 11 Rom
Latest OmniMetal is awesome, great battery life

HUGE difference
how about a kitkat rom that has a working HD video playback ? most of the roms I tried has problems with HD video playback
I'm referring to the choppy or rubberband effects
Official CM 11 is most stable for me an will always have the best support an regular updates daily to keep it ahead of the rest.
I've tried Omnimetal, cMetal, SlimKat, Beanstalk, and CM11. Without question, Omnimetal is the fastest, it's what im running right now, I have two problems with it, there are very few aesthetic customizations (which includes convenience like quicksettings), and it breaks my wifi, it still works, but the signal is so weak that I have to be in the same room as a router to use it. That being said, I seem to get better service with Verizon running Omni. They're all quality roms, but they all have some bugs. If you want speed go Omni, if you want features, go with Beanstalk or SlimKat.
Been running CM11 nightlies(12/14) with Trinity. No reboots or SOD issues. Bluetooth works, wifi works, good battery. It's about the same as on 4.3 for me.
what about customization ? is like that, also
I tried CM 11 but i don't know how to change the color / size of the soft buttons, battery, clock etc
Any ideas ?
What are the pros and cons in comparison to 4.3 ROMs, like rock-solid Cataclysm 4.3?
Battery life for me is a lot better on 4.4.2 using cm 11.0 than stock 4.3 or any 4.3 rom ever was, also I no longer get all the lag I used to get with 4.3 an the constant bug report alerts which stock 4.3 used to give me in status bar which I found quite odd.For me kitkat is a vast improvement an 4.3 was a complete failure on googles part, well on my gnex anyway stock 4.3 was terrible.
i like omnimetal ..altho shinyrom and tiny's build of cm11 are both nice too...:good:

NONE of this roms will give you more juice, but the kernel and its settings will! So learn how to use your kernel and all its options and then you'll get best battery life.

Sorry my mistake.
using the mokee rom, 2/14 release, battery life is ok , averaging out at about 13 percent usage per hour, 22 hour max, after a whole day of heavy usage, which is a whole lot better than stock.
i am sticking with this mokee for everyday use as the camera and autofocus is working. was having camera trouble with a bunch of other roms, and it's really sad because e975's camera wasn't that great to begin with.
observation, i don't know if its better coding by the rom makers but 3g connection speed, in particular youtube and radio streaming apps' buffering seems super fast now, with mokee and other roms i've tried.
sory if i post in wrong place.
my problem?
i use a lot wi-fi......
I try vanir aosp rom (based on cyanogenmod) and i have AMAZING wi-fi everyware.....
but i dont want a "havy" rom like this one.
I like Iridescent_Zed_III odexed(or not odexed),but there is a weak wi-fi.I try difrends basebands,other kernel,still weak.....
Vanir aosp is using baseband 77, Iridescent_Zed_III is usin 77 too.
What makes the difrent?kernel?
any idea?

to keep it short:
baseband has nothing to do with ROM. (you have to flash it manually, never changes on ROM flash. the 77 one is the last from stock rom )
now difrences between vanir aosp & Iridescent_Zed_III:
vanir aosp:
- its latest android KK 4.4.2 running on 3.4 kernel (new & powerful, but not as stable as stock.)
Iridescent_Zed_III:
-its BASED on android ICS 4.0.4 running on 2.x.xx kernel (dont know exact) its based on latest firmware we've got official from SONY. its the stablest one, when you will. but its laggy & old.
there are many things affecting the wifi (drivers inside rom, kernel, baseband, ''tweaks'' inside, even router's play a role, etc....) so its hard to say what exactly will make it better / worse. you will have to test it yourself to say if its better or not.
my advice: you say vanir had the better wifi, but its to ''heavy'' (even i dunno what u mean exactly..) so i would recommend to give Legacy Xperia ROM a shot. i think you will get the most out of it. also if you dont need to have the latest android (just want USE your phone) then use android 4.2.2 JB (CM10.1) its the bets mix of power & still very usable. in addition its keep very clean & lightweight.
