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
Could you, please, provide a link with this ROM ?
And by the way, is there a noticeble difference between Android 4.2.2 and 4.4 ?
Thank you

Battery life in my experience has been around the same as Jelly Bean (others may have a different opinion)

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:
I am sharing a linaro compiled nightlies of cm11 from a dev infected_
I tested it and it is working flawlessly also with art and has better performace and less lags than official nightlies
we can get daily builds for odin from infected if the feedback is positive for linaro nightlies
I need your opinion about the rom guys
you can dirty flash this over official cm11 nightlies

please report bugs and your opinion about the rom
next build is up test it guys and report bugs and feedback

actually cherry picks means some small changes(mainly ui and apperance) inspired from different roms and implemented in the builds
eg in official cm11 the holo is blue but in this rom its grey which is found in all kitkat roms xcpet cm11 and aokp
its is almost same as official cm11 but faster and better and smoother

All CM 11 and CM 11 based ROMS giving me exact same problem. Tried Omniromi didnt like it. half the features they say doesnt really work. as in doubletap to sleep or wake up. PA ROM art is not supported. major reason to backout. cos ART works amzingly well in CM11. i really found my ZL to be faster.
what else would you suggest now?
two things really needed is ART and to be used as daily driver

if you debloated and make knox-free, stock rom will have good battery life, better camera, and samsung framework features (things you lost in custom rom)
if you want to try a custom rom, i recommend you try Mokee (stable) with last Fak Kernel, mokee has an amazing saving power feature and is the more stable rom (in my opinion), with fak kernel with right settings and undervolt (see in fak thread, or pm me) you will get the best battery life, my goals are the same as yours (battery life), and i already try almost every rom here (right now iam trying LiquidSmooth, but i did not like it...will try next the S5 proyect, and wait for official 4.4.4 to test, but until now, mokee is my prefered rom
Dont know if last fak kernel is working with mokee, when a try it some time ago it give me FC, but i think last version works, cause iam using it with liquismooth right now, but even with the stock mokee kernel, it has amazing battery life.

I'am using last version, get some random reboots (i think its because of fak kernel and undervolt...) i miss some launcher options like mokee have (i know i can change launcher...) i found the rom a little confusing, the way the settings are in config options, and there are too much thinks i dont use and dont like like (side app bar, pie control...etc) .
The rom is good, its just my PERSONAL taste, i like it clean,iam a big fan of mokee, and stock rom, just go to a custom rom for 4.4.4 and better battery like i like i say, just waiting for official 4.4.4 - the quality of camera we loss in custom rom its a big point for me to go back when its released
I will stick with stock ROM first with custom kernel..

Hi guys, first of all let me apologize up front for posting this question without knowing whether it has been answered billion times before. It's my first Samsung phone after having Motorola for a long time and the transition to the new apps and vocabulary is not that straightforward.
I've got an I-9190 running 4.2.2 from a carrier and they still haven't upgraded to 4.4. But when I entered to the website above, there's a 4.4.2 firmware for my country and my device. The upgrade seems rather easy, but I'm not sure whether it will run or not. I would really like to upgrade to 4.4.2 and I'm quite confident I'd be able to do it using Odin, but my question is if that firmware could run on my device. Any tips are welcome.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm new here and want to install a custom ROM on my S4 Mini.

Snapshots are always more stable and bug free. They are very close to being daily driver- like. But many of our good friends here have reported the last cm11 nightly is very good and working fine. U can try the nightly. Good luck.

sooner or later you will be bored with vm and use ploiki's S5 rom... Thats the best so far ... for me 4days without charging. Ultra power saving mode etc
I installed CM11 M12.
I like it a lot but noticed many minor issues which I won't discuss here, but 1 major issue I want to mention.
It's the inability to move apps to external SD. I tried Link2SD, Folder something, both not satisfactory.
But over all I'm happy with it.
Thanks for all advices guys.
You can try my S5 ROM for S4 Mini i9192. It's very stable.

i tested all the available roms for I9192, but so far i find the PAC MAN ROM the best one. I did not notice any bug at all. smooth, stable, n fast better than carbon rom(my opinion). I also tested cm12 based roms but only thing i liked about its fluid thats it. I didnt like lollipop notifications, qs tiles. and also its too bright and many things still dont work.

As for stock, u can try deodexed stock rom by @ladislav.heller
Above rom can also be used as base for modding and themes as it is deodexed.
My brother has a G3, but with LG's default 6.0.1 it's ridiculously sluggish, and hogs ram. He has the 3gb variant, and before apps are installed, it hogs almost 2gb of it. But my Mi3 which has cm13 on it, uses just 550mb. So my goal is to help find him something that isn't so bogged down with bloat and hopefully close to stock Android.
Unfortunately though, the latest cm snapshot for G3 is Lollipop, with nightly Nouget releases. He wants to stick to Marshmallow though.
So if anyone has experience flashing on this phone, have you found any super stable marshmallow roms?
Thanks

Alright, definitely going to look into them, thanks I've never used CM outside of snapshots though. Can you update nightlys from the phone, or do you have to keep flashing them in recovery? 14.1 sounds appealing, haven't run into any massive bugs or problems with it..?

Yes, you can download the nightlies from the phone. Cm 14.1 doesn't have much bugs, but I'd recommend waiting a few weeks, as these are the first builds being released. So, you won't see the Theme engine yet, for example. But every other feature is working very well. But cm13 is way more stable and close to perfection, so wait using the 13 version and keep checking out the cm14 changelog to see what has changed.
