Hi,
Question for everyone - will the PAC rom run on a Verizon Enlighten? I also posted a similar question in Paranoid Android - the two roms I have an interest in running (obviously one or the other - not both at the same time). I have been trying to figure out the minimum requirements and admit I can't find them anywhere. I am currently running the bloated stockrom v2.3.4, although I do have root and rom manager installed. I would LOVE to be able to replace it (with either one) - they both look pretty cool. Certainly better than what I have running now lol. Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you'll have to forgive if this is posted elsewhere but i haven't found it if it is, I'm new to this scene as i used to be used to the old apple stuff where i was quite happy jailbreaking etc. but now i have a nexus s and i'm quite happy with it and i've updated it to 2.3.3 no problems,
but now i'm a little confused/unsure. I am happy with the stock firmware but i'd like diffrent themes having looked around i see that to install them i need to install the CM7 rom but I've seen various roms some that need rooting and some that seem not to.
I've also seen a 2.3.3 rom thats a stock deodexed rom and a deodexed-voodoo-root rom. But whats the diffrence and which do i need etc.
sorry to sound like a complete idiot but this is all new to me and i'm trying to learn and get the best out of my phone, all advice is welcome
First off, all 3rd party ROMs will require root to "flash" (the android term for installing). You'll find a lot of information about all the ROMs, themes and kernels currently available for the NS here but the short answer to your question is that a deodexed rom is one which can be themed. If it has Voodoo, Netarchy, Trinity, or Honity listed what is being referred to is a custom kernel.
I'm also assuming you're not currently rooted and on that previous link you'll find a list of almost all of the rooting methods currently available (save for SuperBoot...I think I omitted that one by accident). Basically, all of the info you need is on that thread and if you have other questions I'm happy to help you but for now I think I've answered most everything.
Hey Guys -
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about stable ROM's for the Verizon Samsung S5? I'm going to downgrade my 5.0 to 4.4.4 (using this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-kitkat-t3088571) and do all that stuff, but I wasn't sure if there are any restraints on the type of ROM's you can flash. It's my understanding that Cyanogen doesn't have anything besides nightlies right now for the Verizon S5?
Thanks in advance!

You need to use one of the roms from the development forum for the verizon s5. It doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, so Cyanogen won't even run. Most roms on the forums are generally stable, but the most stable are either stock rooted or extremely debloated ones.
What is best is always subjective. What may be best for one person is not best for someone else.
We recommend you take a look read all the available ROMs decide which one you want to try out and determine for yourself.
Always give the rom at least 1 week to settle in and use before making a decision.
Thread is being moved to Q&A section as you are asking a question and looking for guidance.

Hey guys and gals. I ordered a new G2 Sprint LGLS980 for my dad replacing his Galaxy Nexus (yeah I know about time). I want to put an AOSP 5.1 rom on it but Im new to this device. I have unlocked and installed custom recovery on many devices so im not a total noob to this. I have searched for how to do this but I cant seem to find an up to date best way to do this. Can some one help me out or point me in the right direction on the steps to take to get this done?
Also he will be using it on Sprints network so I want to use a rom that has all the Sprint LTE bands enabled. Will any of the AOSP roms work and how stable are the CAF roms? I run a CAF rom on my Nexus 5 and love how smooth it is, but its buggy at times. I would like to use a rom thats pretty stable he really doesn't need a real heavily customizable ROM either. CM12.1 would be great but I see its not on the device yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm guessing you've been going to the G2 Sprint section. Not much there, you need to go to the generic LG G2 page and then to development from there. Here's the shortcut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
If you've got the recovery loaded, you should be ready to go. Just make sure to read the ROM requirements carefully, make sure you have the proper radio and bootstack. You'll find what you want in the link above, the most popular ROM's are mostly Cloudy for stock based, CM, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix for AOSP. I have the LS980 and the AOSP ROMs double tap to wake seems to take 5 taps, but other than that the features can't be beat. I run BlissPop now and have run 3 of Cloudy's ROMs, I like Bliss the best, just wish the DT2W could be fixed.
Hi all, I'm trying to find a ROM which is most like untouched standard Android (Like what you'd get on a Nexus device); this sort of ROM used to be referred to as 'Vanilla' but may also be know as Nexus or Google Play Edition.
I played with my friends new Moto X yesterday and the OS was so much faster and responsive than my phone, in my opinion. Furthermore, I prefer the aesthetics of the standard ROM; I know Motorola ROM's aren't completely free of changes but they are certainly a lot more uncustomised than Samsung with all its additions and customisations which I really hate the look of and find my phone gets laggy quickly unless a restart is performed.
I have extensive experience loading custom ROM's but I don't want to have to try all of them, I was hoping you may be able to help me find a ROM which matches my requirements. The addition of S Pen apps/compatibility would be awesome but I can obviously look into adding this myself if the ROM does not natively support it.
Thanks community!

If you just want plain standard nexus type rom them you just want plain cm from the original development section. There are a few versions of cm with added tweaks around as well but cm roms are pretty much only available for the qualcom n4 plus every cm rom will have a couple of bugs

note 4 910f best stable rom pie
im a newbie can you help please.
Did you find a rom that worked for samsung note 4 n910F marhmallow to pie? blutooth and camera ok?
A shop did this for me they tried twice but though android pie worked when I switched the fone off.. power off from the shutdown menu at end of day.... it wouldnt reastart at all. They gave up and reloaded samung marsmallow again which its running now.
As a newbie id appreciate knowng how and in which order you did this. Im thinking odin on computor, root fone to take nandroid copy twrp
If I end up with the same problem as the shop ie no restart, could I obtain and load an original samsung ver 5 or 6 android, as this would be easier than rooting the fone in order to make a nandroid copy.
THANK YOU !!! april 2020.
Hello,
it's since I lost my old Omnia 900 that I don't login on this forum, so please forgive my question, I am not updated at all.
I also remember the hours lost to find the best suitable ROM for the Omnia, so I really don't want to experience that again.
I'd like to clean my Galaxy S5 and in order to do so, I don't want to experiment with unstable builds or similar.
I just would like to use the cleanest and most stable rom available that would let my galaxy S5 be fully functional.
Which ROM would you suggest me to use? BTW I actually know nothing except how to do a simple root, so if you have any links, is also appreciated.
I got some answers already, like: Phoenix rom and Blissrom.
Again I need the bare minimum, but with all the full set of samsung features enabled (minus the samsung software though, if, for example, finger scan needs some software, I will install it).
