Hi guys,
I have an old S3 i9300 I'm thinking of giving to my mother. She doesn't live locally and is pretty good with phones but certainly not close to being able flash nightlies/kernels/etc. She uses Chrome, WhatsApp and needs a fairly stable camera. She doesn't game or need high performance, stability is the most important thing. She's coming from a ropy old Huawei Y300 on 4.1.1 so even though the AOSP camera on an S3 will present a significant upgrade over that!
I want to use an AOSP based ROM as when the phone was my daily driver it was far superior to Touchwiz. On balance, do you think it's better to flash a KitKat (CM11) or Lollipop (CM12.1) based ROM? I want to be able to flash a ROM and then it be stable enough for her to use for a while without any ROM updates. When the phone was my daily driver I was on SlimKat 9.0 Stable and was happy enough. My instinct is to go for SlimLP or JustArchi's unofficial CM12.1 final version as they have very few changes from AOSP.
