guys i just bought galaxy s4 i9505,for almost a year i was using note 1,my question is,should i root my phone and install custom rom or leave it to stock (already 4.4.2),is there any big difference in custom roms and stock rom?
for note i always used custom roms because they were smoother than stock.
are you still on stock or using roms?if yes which roms ?
Just read the rom threads and decide for yourself if you want custom roms or not.

Hello.
It's the fist time I'm gonna flash a modded Rom cause after a year the phone its staring to do weird things. I'm still at 4.3 Jellybean.
My phone is rooted with stock TouchWiz.
The less wissles and options the better. I don't use the S-pen and would like to have a simple and battery friendly Rom with a good camera app.
Also I'm worry for the sdcard problems i read everywhere and stability.
I guess a Rom with 4.4.4 is better than 4.4.2 but in this so not sure.
What Rom do you recommend?
Thank you!
first you need to choice if you want TW or CM rom...
if TW you need to upgrade bootloader and flash stock KK rom and root and flash custom...
if CM11 no need to upgrade KK and you can flash what you want
for CM12 you need KK bootloader too
Thank you for quick answer.
I read that Cyanogenmod Roms are not optimized and made for Note 3.
Is there a Rom made specifically for N9005 with the features I posted?
1. Go to the Note 3 Android development subforum.
2. Read about the different ROMs.
3. Decide which one you want to try.
4. Flash it.
5. Repeat as necessary.
There are no short cuts. Do the research yourself, only you know if you'll be happy with your choice.
Ok thank you.
Will all the Kitkat based Roms have issues with the Sdcard I read I forums?
I recommend to you the rom which made by Alexander.. And omega rom as a second choice.. Good luck

please, i have this rom
[ROM][N9005] Galaxy S5 Stock ROM - Final v40.0 - Clean, Fast and Stable - [OTA]
have i already in kk bootloader? or not sure? how can i check?
thanks
I'm trying to find Alexander Rom you suggested but i cant find it in the forum. (I'm new with all this about roms).
What is the name of Alexander's Rom?
Well you can use stock ROM, and uninstall all the nonsense apps with any root supported uninstall app, but you still will be forced to have those S related features, S-Scroll, S-Stay and all those nonsense features (which I never have used, ever). Now if you AOSP way then you won't have all those things and you will have a clean ROM but you will miss the lovely S-Pen integration of TouchWiz based ROMs.
So you have to decide according to your preference. I don't believe that AOSP/CM based ROMs are 100% bug free for Note 3, but please correct me if I am wrong. I am an AOSP lover too.
And I also don't believe 4.4.4 has much advantage over 4.4.2 other than some security patches.

before i bought the note 4, i used to own S3.
while the base original rom for the S3 was pretty bad in most ways & custom roms were a must, it's not the case in the N4! i find it fast, no bugs or lags etc.
so i was wondering, when talking about the note 4, why bother with rooting and costume roms, losing the warranty etc?
what's the different from custom roms to Samsung's original rom?

Answer is there in your question, u feel base rom was bad in S3 so u were using custom rom, now u don't feel base rom bad in note 4 u don't need to loose warranty,
Different people's has a different requirements so they use custom roms & they root.
E.g call recording, full backup, mod etc. Some get bored with same rom so they use custom rom.
Hi, I wanted to try a costum ROM on my note 3 because the official note 3 ROM has a lot of unwanted apps that just fills up my memory.
Looking on the threads, I see a lot of custom ROMs available that doesn't make it easy to start. So my question is which costum ROM do you prefer and why will you recommend me to get that one? Thank you in advanced!!
Just in case, my model is the one on the screen shot
Why don't you start with one where you understand the instructions .

I'd say go for Temasek's CM12.1 AOSP ROM. It's MUCH smaller than any stock Rom, & support is pretty good and it FLIES. I've now posted 2 Antutu scores over 49,000 - and I know benchmark scores are not real life performance but I never got over a 44,000 in any stock ROM.
If you want to stay based in stock, a very good custom ROM is Alliance ROM - think it's at v8.1 now.
HOWEVR, and this applies no mater what ROM you look at... READ, READ, READ... Learn what rooting is, learn about Recovery and why Odin on the PC is necessary. The more you understand about what you are trying to do the less likely you are to be posting back in the Q&A with... "Help! My phone is bricked!"
As you can see I have a exynos Chip so I need a ROM compatible to that.
I had done flashing in the passed when I have my Samsung Galaxy Duos so I have read a bit. But there are soooooooo much ROMs now that I dared to ask the question

Your choice of roms for N900 is limited to these .

Hello all!
I want to root my Note 4 so I could remove bloatware, earphone volume restriction, wakelocks, etc and use a custom ROM but, reading at the forum, it looks like somethings are different now since I last rooted a phone( LG G2). Can you guys help me with some question?
1- I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C with 5.1.1 stock rom installed. What kernel( I don't want anything special here, only an good overall perfomance and battery life) do you guys think I should use since now a custom kernel is must for rooting?
2 - I'm also looking into using DN5 or Sixperience custom ROM and I always see people talking about new bootloader and modem. What are those?
3 - Is anything else I should know before rooting( custom kernel -> TWRP for recovery - Custom ROM)?
Thx in advance

1-2. If you need all the functions of the phone then stock kernel is best as some of it don't work right on custom kernels unless the developer of the custom rom has done something about it when changing the stock kernel for a custom. "Welcome to TW roms" Compared to other manufactures its a pain in the beep to use Sammy's TW but I do love the whole spen feature.
I don't have a C so cant tell you much about there battery life but a solid rom on stock kernel can be very good and mix it with what ever app you use to freeze apps and its good. I use 3c toolbox "paid version" the best app ever.
Bootloaders and modems must match the rom version you want to flash or you will end up in bootloops so example if you want coi3 based rom then bootloader and modem must be coi3 as well or it wont work. in odin BL = bootloader and CP = modem.
3. use odin to flash the recovery and rooting I cannot remember as I did that only once which was a few weeks after note 4 was released so much could have changed since that.
hello,
I'm looking for a rom as close as possible to the official n910f stock rom but simply completely unbloated. I'm currently browsing the galaxy note snapdragon roms forums but dont really know which one to choose. Can you please recommand me one, thank you.

You may have to Root and de-bloat it yourself. I'm not sure if there was a de-bloated stock TW rom for the N910F.
I didn't see one for my N910V so I just rooted and removed all the bloat from an OEM rom.
