Well, after all these years of install custom ROM's, I've just about come to the conclusion that in the end, you are better off staying with stock, UNLESS it is absolutely full of float, and only when rooting / ROMing is the only way to update your phone.

If you install a custom ROM just for fun, than cop it sweet.
I have a stock Note 3 and a stock Note Tab Pro 12.2 and while all the samsung junk drives me mad, this is the lesser of two evils.

That’s good to know. but how hard is it for them to fix the ay11 issues with 
the accessibility  short cut coming up when you do the two finger jesture when 
you install cyanogen mod and then reboot the device and cant get the two finger 
jesture to work and have to rely on someone to get that to work. if you can 
suggest a way that I can get that to work then I will take a second look at 
cyanogen mod. I don’t mind I am just wanting it to work for everything and not 
here and there. I do have a nexus 4 and was debating on installing  cyanogen 
mod because of the ay11  issues with accessibility short cut not working at 
initial set up. if you can give me suggestions I will try. I do have ADB   
shell set up so if you wwant to give me pointers  on how to accomplish getting 
cyanogen mod I would welcome your pointers off list.

IMO, CyanoGen Mod is the most stable and reliable of all custom ROM's currently 
available.
It has a very large developer base, supports a very large number of phones and 
tablets and gets regular updates, usually every night.
I have a 3 yo HTC Inspire 4G running Android 4.4.4 r2, which makes it more 
current than the newest Sammy S5.
Installing any custom ROM has accessibility issues; putting that aside IMO if 
you are going down this route, you should use the most stable and reliable 
custom ROM, and again IMO, that is CyanoGen mod.
And for the record, Cyanogen rejected the offer from micro$oft, and others to 
purchase the company.

Hi.
Syanogen isn't worth playing with because it has some a11y troubles.
I haven't had a chance to install the other 2 yet so can't comment on them.

Hi All,
I am still studying different ROMS for my Galaxy S3, before proceeding.

On one list, which I cannot get my messages to for some reason,
("eyes-free") and yet I receive the messages, one person posted about
OmniROM and Carbon, and Quentin here posted about CyanogenMod.
I am hoping a screenreader user can inform me of which mods work with
a screenreader, during the install, and then after that, which of the
mods work best with TalkBack.
Maybe there is not much difference with the different mods once they
are installed, as long as they include TalkBack, I just don't know.
Finding information on this from a Blind user's perspective is a
challenge.
We need some YouTube videos/audios on this.
Thanks for any information.

Glenn
