[Q] very important !! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

why all the Custom ROMS is battery hungry and makes the device be very hot ? the S5 features is very nice but because the hot and battery draining it became bad , I tried a lot of Kernels and roms (official and custom) based on AOSP or Samsung stock and some roms battery hungry and some makes the s4 very hot , but by the way !!
the official stock rom is really the best , no heat or battery drain , is that two problems related to all the custom roms or what?
only the reason which makes my flash a custom roms is (UPSM) but all the other features can be flashed from recovery ,
so shall I back to an official rom and forget about all the S5 features? or you will give us an solution of the two problems which I put above
thank you

I use Imperium Rom with UPSM and everything works fine to me and i also tried other custom rom and never had problems with overheating and bad battery life. I don't think that this is a problem which relates to the custom roms but maybe to your kind of use? I don't know...

stay on stock if u want good battery life.
if u really want a lollipop rom that badly go for the rom from danvdh.
custom roms are useless. it's only for people with too much time.
install stock rom, root it, debloat it and if u want custom rom features just install xposed.
no need for any custom roms because they are always worse if it gets to battery life.
if u say otherwise u have no idea ... it's ok if u have fun flashing roms all day and like to try that and that but don't say it works perfectly fine and especially that the battery life is as same as good or even better (i lol everytime i read this in a custom rom thread)
Try phoenix rom 10.2, or Albe rom. Both excellent

[Q] Stock 4.4 in comparison with 5.0 ROMs

Hey guys,
I wonder how are 5.0 ROMs working, compared with stock 20h ROM. I'd like to ask you about these few things: battery, audio and camera quality. Is it worth switching to Lollipop at this moment?
I have heard that the battery drain is incredible high on lollipop based custom roms. Also the camera quality isn't good as the stock one.
I guess the official lollipop StockRom for the G2 won't have each of the problems.

Yup are back on cloudy g3 from cm 12.
Skickat från min LG-D802 via Tapatalk
i find it runs very good exept for bluetooth thats buggy.so went back to lg roms
Battery life doesn't seem worse than stock for cm12 but i don't use location, bluetooth etc. But at the same time it's friggin fast.
Thank you for your replies. I'll stick with stock ROM in that case.
Does anyone have pictures from both roms? So that we can see the difference between AOSP and STOCK camera? I would be interested in a comparison...
I have CM12 and battery is better than stock vipnet 20D rom but only thing that annoys me is that i cant make skype/fb calls on CM12.
There's really no need to make a compromise anymore since dual boot became avaliable. Sure lollipop roms are still in beta, there are some bugs like camera and battery life suxks, if you like AOSP, dual boot can actually give you the best of both worlds with minimal effort when switching.
When you need that extra battery life or the better camera, you simply boot into the Stock ROM and otherwise you can use your favorite ROM.
It literally takes me about 30 seconds to switch (reboot to recovery, flash a file and reboot).
There's a multi boot thread here in the G2 General section which you'll have to look into if you're interested

tnx for your reply i will try this later
for me i think stock rom ( +root ) is better
These are the roms i experimented with for the last 4-5 weeks of having my S3 Neo (GT I9301I)
Rox CM11: Great, few bugs, stock android experience.
Rox CM12: Lollipop, great looking rom, but give it some time to develop it still has some annoying bugs
t-shock's Extremely tweaked S5 look for S3 Neo ROM: GREAT PERFORMANCE, STOCK S5 TouchWiz look, all perfect except the most annoying bug = you cant change your phone and notification ringtone......sure yeah you can set it through music player but still notification ringtone cant be changed.
StockMod: Same stock firmware experience, many useful and good looking features.
Blisspop: Rox CM12 with a ****load of more features aaaand along with Rox CM12's bugs.
Currently im sticking to Rox's CM11 as its a bit stable, but what i'd really love is a fully fixed t-shock's S5 look for S3 Neo Rom
And yes just as samo_say says "Stock rom/firmware +root is better". Every Rom available for this device has bugs, mainly because there's not much development done for S3 Neo, maybe not that popular device

Guys "best rom " threads are now allowed on XDA read the rules.all roms are good since developer invested time on them and whould be unfair to categorize them on good/bad...Test different roms nad see which one you like the moust.And say Thnaks to developers thye are doing awesome job

well i dont kno if they're bugs related to CM12 or maybe its just my device, but ive experienced the Trebuchet launcher getting stuck occassionally, and sometimes when you open the widget screen and press back the widget menu stays on the home screen, and other minor UI glitches i cant remember now....
FIUI rom. CM11 based but faster , better battery life. For i9300I and for i9301I. You can find it in the general section

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743877
I have been using it as a daily driver for the past several months.
It runs Touchwiz UI and has features similar to Galaxy S5.
No issues of overheating or battery drain outs so far.
thanx a lot for the suggestion buddy i just installed it and its working like a charm

Best Rom for GTI9500 ?

I am tired of stock rom
Can anyone suggest the best rom available
Phone will be used as daily driver(snapchat also)
Stock ,CM,RR any rom.
Sorry for bad english.
Thankyou
The two roms I liked the most were
Power Of Debloat Octanote Version A because it is so lightweight and has less bloat. Plus most of the system ui and apps are Note 5 or Galaxy S7 themed. Its pretty neat
Also FirstFlight 5.5 Note 7 themed is also pretty amazing. It goes even deeper and has Note 7 themed system UI and everything. The only problem I have with this rom is that battery life takes a huge hit. Power of Debloat is nice on the battery. Try these two and tell me what you think. Be sure to take Nandroid backups in your custom recovery and follow all steps posted by respective developers on flashing each rom. Be sure to only install the rom for your device. Galaxy S4 i9500. I made that mistake by flashing a rom not meant for my phone and it bricked.
Please note that I haven't use RR on my S4 but I have used it on many others and would recommend and try it too. Tell me how it all went.
Ale95 Note5 Port is the best ROM for me
Because I have been tested many ROM like CM, GearCM, RR, and other
This ROM have a good battery life, and my device not overheating again
Trust Me Bro :good:

I know..I used ROM and it was the best ..but snapchat was not working on that ROM and I am a heavy user of snapchat..
Prism barebone v16 from last year (Not v17, v16). If you are not so interested in note5 or s7 themed apps, this is for you. It is discontinued but with the highest performance and best battery life among stock-based ROMs.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537515
I always have some bugs in other stock-based ROMs. For example, I found Octanote a little too debloated that some apps crash all the time such as Calculator. Other bloated ROMs have very mediocre battery life, I think all those themes and unnecessary Note apps like Air Command, SNote cause unnecessary drain.
CM based ROMs (Alberto 6.0.1) have better performance than any stock-based ROMs but it has some bugs that cannot be solved (Exynos sources are not accessible for free developers.), such as in-call echo (Other side hears his/her own voice.) and (sometimes) camera crash.
I usually end myself on stock-based ROMs that debloated and rooted for battery life. However, if you're power user who prefers performance boots, GearCM and RR would be your choice.
