Root Most Stable OC Kernel / ROM for Awe?

[NewAndroidian]

Getting ready to flash TWRP onto a new - to me - Awe.

Any suggestions for most stable OC Kernel and Rom? I checked the board and didn't see any talk of stability anytime recently. Dont want to infect the board with a chronic case of the dupes

The nameless kitkat rom is the one I like and have been on since August with zero issues after trying others that had a few hicups for me. I was on stock rooted before that for about 2 years. I updated because espn fantasy app would no longer work on jelly bean. Their is also a lolipop rom that I have not tried yet as all the apps I use work on kitkat. The dev has not been active on this phone and the Awe forum has kind of dried up since then. I'm leaving my grandfathered Virgin Awe and moving to Boost after Christmas myself. Getting a ZTE Warp Sync that has roms up to Marshmellow by the same dev who made most of the Awe ones.

4.4.4 Cyanogenmod by phenom is nice. I've used it for ~1.5-2 years now and the only issue I have is that the battery % is inaccurate and always dies at 4%. nbd

I'm going to finally switch to 5.0 since some apps are starting to only support 5.0 and up ;(. Will update you my experience with 5.0.

Thanks everyone.

Qin - Are you a security person? Do you happen to know if any AWE 5.0 ROMS have addressed the password attack issue?

I had no idea about this issue :O. I just googled it, are you talking about the lockscreen bypass?

If so, I will test it out after I finish installing. Although I personally don't use a lock for my lockscreen so this bug is fine is nbd for me lol.

After almost a week of trial and error, I've found a stable-ish Android 5 rom.

The latest build of phenomx's Cyanogenmod 12.1 http://androidforums.com/threads/rom-alpha-5-1-1-cyanogenmod-12-1-4-28-2015.916560/ + Micro gapps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/reborn-gapps-5-t3074660 + 4.4.4 camera fix http://androidforums.com/threads/list-of-all-kitkat-roms-and-camera-fix.925221/

will yield a usable rom for everyday. I haven't tested the youtube app yet but it works on Firefox browser, flashlight from settings will crash, and no offline charging but everything else that is important like gmaps, calls/texts, and data/wifi works.

Edit: Navigation doesn't work, but waze works. Youtube app crashes. I'm going back to 4.4.4

Yeah the lockscreen bypass. I'm running AWEsome ROM with the OC Kernel (can't remember whose it is) and CWM. Seems to be working fine. I'm down to 43 apps (stoc,k I havent installed any yet).

That'd be my AweStruck kernel.

That'd be my AweStruck kernel.

And my AWEsome rom...didn't think anybody still had these things laying around...
Oh, hi! Been a minute eh?
