[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cadorette:
Personally the 2 best ones I've used so far are the XperiaZ rom and LiquidSmooth RC2..

LS being very Nexus-ish and is JB 4.2.2

Fastest and smoothest I've tested so far (out of about 8 or so)

The Xperia rom is like a modified stock TW with some cool features like the Sony home screen customizations and has the option to have the Note 2 cam and gallery, features intact.

Both roms last about 20+ hrs with pretty heavy use..

But they all have their different perks and strengths, weaknesses, etc..

Basically up to you to flash multiples until you find a good stable daily driver that suits all your needs :D

Be sure to follow instructions meticulously and read read read!

Make sure also to hit "thanks" to people that help you and consider a donation to a rom dev that's spent their hard earned time to cook up these cool options for us!

Happy Flashing!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s384:
op said something stock based. and you throw out an aosp rom. if you like touchwiz, like me, aosp will probably annoy you. and as for add-ons. well you can tinker a bit. like my rom didnt have nexus cam with the sphere cam so I just flashed it in a separate zip file. you can just debloat what you already have after you root and get a new kernal. kernals will improve your battery life on their own. but yea. read stuff

Hey guys I want to install this Rom but it always gets stuck at HTC beats audio animation screen.

All steps were followed strictly and cwm and twrp 2.2 2.3 and 2.4 have been used
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Lay_13591:
Did you try it with every partition as well? i.e. Ext 2/3/4?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xedi95:
Well flash the twrp recovery 2.4.x and make an ext 3 partition 1 gb min(don't forget to make a backup of ur sd card before that). Do all the wipes except external storages and flash the Rom. Give it half an hour to boot properly.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhinavthms:
Well i too was frustrated when i flashed it first.....

I flashed it,rebooted the phone,left it to boot................came back after 1 hrs and it was fine...

So i think the first boot takes a very long time....

i recommend flash superwipe.then flash the rom

.reboot.

install finalizer....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] windingstare:
For about a week now my phone has been showing no bars and is always looking for service however I am still able to use data with the WiFi off. Text and phone calls do not work. Went into verizon they reset my signal ad gave me a new sim card and still nothing. Service is good where I am. They would have replaced the phone if I was still under warranty. Weird thing, when I'm connected to wifi, the mobile network state is disconnected and when wifi is off it changes to disconnected. Don't know if that is significant, but is there anything I can do or Is the phone broken?

is there anyway to get the Nexus like soft keys for my xperia?

Yes, a simple copy works, no need to rename anything. You can throw me a logcat after you reboot the phone, I can check and see if there is any problem.

pls see the logcat str8 after reboot

Well, I don't see anything wrong in your logcat - the package gets loaded. You can try removing the package, rebooting then putting it back there and rebooting again. I think I had that problem once when I was testing it. Besides that, I really have no clue why it may not be working for you.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Metallijim:
Dpi depends on framework-res.apk, this is an just overlay.

You'll need to change your framework to change height, and that might affect other mods on that Rom.

You could do a nandroid backup and try one of these first, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38632615 just to check it doesn't affect the Rom functions, then use an overlay. Make sure you install correct one for your firmware version.

Or install domoco systemui as I see that Rom uses it.

Hi guys!

I was really waiting for something like this, I can't believe how I missed this for so long :D I've tried with SoftKeyZ without luck (don't know why, though).

So far it has worked perfectly, but I have just one question. Since I restarted my Z with this mod I've noticed the back gets a little more warm than what I was used to. Not too much, but enough to get me questioning if this was caused by this mod. The temperature I got without any app in the background is around 36°C

What do you guys think? Should I forget about this and enjoy freely this mod? :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagarpatil86:
Hello,

I am from India and I'm using Idea Cellular.

I've been using N4 since Jan, initially it had 4.2 on it, after that I updated to 4.2.1 and later 4.2.2

For the last 6-7 weeks most of my calls were getting dropped, sometime just after connecting.

I tried a lot of solutions:

1. Switching off mobile data

2. Switching off wifi

3. Device reset

and then making calls.

None of the above solved the call drop issue. I finally requested for a replacement device and received it today.

So I put my sim in new phone, copy all my data from Google Play and I make my first call, 12 mins and the call drops again.

Now if this was a hardware issue, the odds of me again getting a faulty device should have been very less. But well here we are - one more faulty device.

If its not, is there any software fix or anything other way of solving this?

High Hopes

I feel ya, man. My phone usage pattern is pics, video, and browsing mostly. The Nexus 4 has failed me on multiple occasions with dropped data and terrible reception. I have tried changing my APN settings, I've even called ATT and confirmed with them that I had the correct data plan allotted.

I know it's the Nexus 4 and not my carrier because my husband, who uses a half-broken iphone 4 on the same network gets better reception and network connectivity in the same places and at the same times. I found myself using his phone a lot of the time to do simple tasks like browse online because I'm tired of re-connecting on my Android.

I still don't want to go back to iPhone because I'm bored with iOS at the moment, so now, when I'm researching my next Android phone, I'm going to make sure to consider radio signal quality.
