Hello everyone
My friend told me about flashing ROM's and how it is all so good LMAO
Anyway, I do not have this phone yet but I will be getting it in about 2-3 weeks. I am aware it is a new phone and I am not the most knowledgeable on this subject but around what time is a custom ROM coming out for this phone? How long does it usually take?
Also, is flashing ROM's safe? Is it any more dangerous than flashing firmware on a Samsung Jet? Because I have done that before
I would usually leave my phones on stock but I am hearing of some software related issues with the Desire HD and wondering if they would be fixed in a custom ROM?
Thanks.

First off, this is my first post here, so hi everyone. After a few months with my unrooted Desire HD, I decided to root. I was hesitant mainly due to how complex the process was. I am with telus, which means I had to downgrade to a rootable firmware version (the Telus one isn't rootable for some reason). I needed to install a gold card for this. After this, I temp rooted and permanently rooted successfully. My first custom ROM is MIUI (freshly squeezed edition). I find it to be very fluid and fast and is definetly good looking. Its nice to see a ROM based on something other than stock Android or Sense. The software build that comes with this ROM (2.3.4) is also very fast, a huge step up from the laggy 2.2.1 software that Telus shipped with it.
Again, I am new and know very little about rooting and development in general, buy I plan to be using custom ROMs very often and I thought this site would be a good place to give feedback on custom ROMs. (I noticed you need at least 10 posts to access the developers forum).
The only problem I have with MIUI is that the messaging app constantly force closes.
Welcome ..
the 10 post limit is a bummer .. but you'll get there ..
Rom paradise will open soon ..

Hi Guys,
maybe this was asked before but I will ask especially for Samsung. So how does it work to develope a Custom Rom, based on a Stock Firmware?
I have a Galaxy S4-GT9515 and since there is no Custom Rom, I am thinking about playing around with it now. There are so many issues (Battery Drain,...), this ******* bloatware and i am using my Moto G now.
I develope little apps for Android, but i am not an expert. Rooting, Flashing Customs Roms and so on, using ADB is nothing new for me.
Do you guys have some basic tutorials for me? And where can I get Samsungs Stock firmwares? And what is about the Kernel? How to modify?

Hello everyone,
I personally never owned a Samsung device (always Nexus and mostly with Paranoid Android or Dirty Unicorns ROM) but my girlfriend has one and she defeniately needs it to be flashed :good:
As I am completely new to Samsung devices, I have no idea about all the developers and different ROMs that are out there for the Samsung Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I don't have much time to try around with different ROMs as it isn't my phone.
I need one that is good, stable, fast (and also supports the stylus / samsung apps). So I can flash it quickly and have a happy girlfriend
So that is the reason I an asking in the first place. Else I would just flash around and keep trying until I find the best fit.
I saw CM is officially supporting the Note 4. So that one might be a good solution. But does it have all those stylus samsung stuff?
Any other ROMs I should check out?
Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thanks in advance and sorry for posting another "which ROM" thread. But I can't really test around to find out on my own as it is not my device that I am going to improve !
If n910g, this is highly recommended, although you have to disable or uninstall later all apps that you don't want if you want a debloated rom.

It is N910F.
The link you provided is simply stock android MM?
Yes stock MM, stock is in my experience the most stable and bug free rom build. But the link is for n910g unfortunately.
Stock ROM, and then debloat yourself. Quite honestly speaking, and no offence to anyone, there are no good ROMs available for Note 4. In fact I myself might have not got the phone if I realised the development section is like this. And I am not interested in ported ROMs, so even though there are many available I won't go that way, and I am too dumb to make a ROM for myself, so stock ROM it is.
I agree, stock rom rooted and debloat it, and apply msm tweaks. If you want, xposed as well.

You must flash samsung based rom to have all soen features and samsung apps. I reconnemed kurama rom which in using , its battery friendly, fast and stock based. If you going to flash kurama rom you must flash modem and bootloader for the rom to boot up (only can be flashed from pc with odin)
Hello Everyone,
I really like the S7 edge. I have been using Android since the HTC Magic. And I have always flash my android phone to custom rom.
But it feels like Stock roms are closing in on Custom rom nowadays. And since having kids, I did not really have time to go around forums and threads to read and test roms, like I used to before.
So, I am turning to you guys, who are still trying several roms, flashing mobile almost every week, like I used to. What are the special features of custom roms that you have come to like nowadays, that Stock rom is missing? Or is Stock really that good?
!!!! I know all developers are working hard on stock and custom roms, and I'm not asking which specific custom rom or stock rom do you prefer. I'm just asking between the 2 worlds, what are the advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks
Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I'm really curious about the performance of Nougat or Oreo using a Custom ROM versus the stock Lollipop on an S4 I9505.
Do the Custom ROMS of Nougat/Oreo really improve the performance on an I9505 compared to the stock Lollipop? How about the battery?
Really looking forward to answers regarding this.
Anyone who knows this or could test this out of me?
Everyone has different needs whereby one custom ROM may be perfect for one person and a stock ROM is perfect for another person.
I highly recommend reading through the custom ROM forum, selecting a few to try, and using it over a few days with your most-used apps.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a specific custom ROM with Oreo/Nougat that you might have in mind when it comes to performance?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any recommendations since I haven't had a working s4 for a months.
