Custom Rom QUESTION - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Android users :victory:
I updated my galaxy s5 to lollipop and i loved it from the start. I found it very smooth , fast but it was also a really disappointment because of it's battery life. After i update it AND restore it as factory new couldn't get a good battery life. So i was thinking of a custom rom..
That's why i am here is to ask you guys for a custom rom with touchwiz interface and great battery life. Any recomandations? And also maybe a tutorial on how to do it. ( fresh Samsung user )
I would really apreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

You should check out Xestro Lite ROM. For advice on rooting visit Chainfire's one click root thread.

Awesome ROM!!! I'm using it right now and way better than official Touchwiz. Also, better battery life. Today I had 5 and a half on screen time.
For installing it you can find everything at link.

Actually I wouldn't recommend CF Auto root. For me personally it never works and I always get soft bricked. Second thing is that if you are beyond BNL version of Touchwiz, rooting it probably won't work.

S-pen apps on cyanogen mod

Hi everyone. So as you know you will lose the stock spen features if you flash the cyanogenmod. Isn't there any possibility that you can extract the features from the stock rom and make them running on a custom rom? I know there are some alternatives out there which do nearly the same as the Samsung apps but in my opinion they're not as good as the stock.
Greetings, Lenniitsch
No. Seek alternatives. Spen ,aside from being a normal wacom stylus, is dependent on touch wiz libraries that are system wide. A quick search would have made this post unnecessary.

Nope won't work, use GMD SPen Control, it's pretty cool.. and a lot better than TW SPen IMO
Ok I'm Sry. Already googled a bit but haven't found something. I'll delete this threat as soon as I'm at home. Have a nice day

Light & Stable RIM for Note 3

I would love to hear what the experienced users advice in regards to a lite and stable rom because actually the there's so much bloat ware on the stock one and I've heard that the battery life is improved on the custom ones .
Your help is really appreciated.
You can always debloat your stock ROM. Of course, root is required. If you're looking for a lite and stable ROM I'd recommend you try custom TW ROMs since AOSP ROMs tend to have hiccups here and there. I personally don't like heavily customized ROMs. While certain amounts of customization options can be very useful, too much of it, especially poorly designed ones, will do more harm than good. Best thing is to try and find out what fits best to your needs.

Could you please mention which rom you're personally using? And providing a link for the TW roms would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
This is the XDA Assist section. The purpose of this section is to help a member navigate the site to look for their answers. You will have more luck asking your question in your device's Q&A section. Let me move this thread to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Q&A section for you.
One thing to check, is to make sure you flashed the correct ROM for your specific device.

1.Good gapps:
http://opengapps.org/
Use the arm.
2. Dont use Philz. Use the latest TWRP. Philz is not updated anymore. Using it can give you thing like not booting roms.
3 Always pick the latest CM. Pick the one in my signature or use the latest nightlies.

2 things :
Why did you wrote after CM12 broke in 1000 pieces? Are you trying to brick my phone?
Second : why is BSOD Killer in changelog?? I dont want BSOD!!! NO Risk man!

1. Yes I want to brick your phone.
2. I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't think you have any idea what BSOD killer is.
Stick to stock rom, that's better for you.

You worry to much. Use what you want to use F2FS or ext4. It does not matter.

Which is the best rom for good battery backup for exynos version?

I am having poor battery life, can anyone tell best custom rom?
I was about to search for a kinda similar question, Im personally looking for smoothest experience.
To answer your question I have used both CivZ and DevBase roms and I think that best Rom for battery is stock without root and Xposed.
The s9 Ports also have a good battery...
