Hello to everyone, I'm new in rooting and flashing but I tried sometimes. Now I'm on stock lollipop 5.0 I tried unroot as I saw on you tube but I can't get ota updates anymore even after wipe data reset etc. My fingerprint scanner is not working and also the camera is blacked sometimes. I wanna ask if I can solve all this and also if there is a fast and smooth rom with no problems. I read something about the zombie rom which is like s6. I hate touchwiz and maybe the new one is better. Can anyone give some advise?

Try wiping and flashing a stock rom in Odin. As for fast and smooth roms, the fastest roms are usually CyanogenMod or it's forks. I wouldn't recommend Zombie rom, as it has some basic bugs which need to be ironed out. And it's still running standard S5 touchwiz (plus some nice S6 mods and apps).
Basically if you want a stable, fast and non-touchwiz rom CM is the way to go.
Otherwise it's all very individual and depends on how you use your device, so the best way to know is to try for yourself. Threads about the "best rom" are usually forbidden. Also, since you say that you're a newbie I highly recommed to take some time to read ALL OF THE STICKY THREADS in each section of the S5 forum. Reading them usually helps A LOT. :good:

Hi,
It seems all the custom ROMs are using the TouchWiz interface. Is anybody looking to maintain a ROM which does not have the TouchWiz launcher and Samsung mail apps etc?
Personally, I find the standard Google launcher, monochrome menus and standard mail app much nicer than the TW version, however there are interesting apps like the video player and updated kernel, drivers etc I would like to take advantage of.
I know there are plenty of other people who also do not like the TW experience, but it seems that all the ROMs in the sticky above have all chosen to take on TouchWiz.
Thanks,
Neil.
Bonsai ROM.

Nope'. They claim they are not intending to maintain two ROMs. They have updated their TW ROM and not their non-TW ROM.
Blazar by Poitie?

That's because somebody put a post in there, I do know how to use a search thanks, and I do understand how a forum works. I'll try that ROM thanks.
I put the post in the Development section as it was a question to developers or maintainers of ROMs. I didn't realise this forum is so hard faced about 100% of questions absolutely having to be placed in the Q&A section, even when the topic is relevant to the section.
Might be worth updating the ROMs sticky in the development section to note that Blazar has a Non-TW option.
Ok guys, finally have my s3, lovely. so, as im a flashing addict i need some advice now. what to install? what is the best rom out there? Any nice tweaks or what ever?

Omega is always a good starting point but don't just try roms. There are quite a few mods you can install regardless of rom just make sure the base matches .
Anyway hope you enjoy your new phone !

Each ROM is a little bit different.. read the OPs.. the features, the tweaks.. see which one YOU like!

Go root it and flash CWM.
Once your done download my ROM and try it out and tell me how you like it.
Closed, I recommend reading some threads in the development section there is also a thread in the general section that lists available roms and mods/etc, "What's the best rom" or "What roms should I try threads" are OT and not needed.
Also post questions in the Q and A section in future.
Hi guys! This is my first time posting on this forum, but i have come to many threads as a visitor to figure out problems regarding my google nexus 4 and i have to say this is one of the most useful forums ever! I can find nearly everything here, its totally awesome..
now to the point, my question is Which one gives faster and better performance? Cm10.1 or combination of kernel franco r136 and rom paranoid android alpha? because i recently saw a video on youtube where this person was testing custom nexus 4 vs stock samsung s4 and using only franco r136 and paranoid rom he increased his performance by A LOT (compared to my antutu benchmark which was utterly disappointing.. around 16.5k ) without overclocking..
if the combination is better than how to install the kernel and rom (can anyone link me to a noobs guide to installing roms and kernels?) because i just rooted my phone 3 days ago without checking the "custom recovery check box" .. (btw, the nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 is awesome!!!) ..
i am currently running stock kernel and rom i think and my phone is only rooted.. (kernel version: 3.4.0 and build number jwr66y)..
Thanks for reading my first post and thread!

oke a question though.. since posting in that thread without actually trying to install a rom or kernel would be useless..
if i make a backup of all my apps.. and say i install cm10.1 or the combination i mentioned in my first post.. will i be able to restore my apps using the nexus root toolkit or will i have to install all my apps from again..?
I have a touchwiz device so im not fully qualified to answer your question. Thats why I gave you a ask any question for your device thread. Most members use apps like titanium backup to back there apps up

I wanted this specific ROM for my nexus 4, because it's 4.2.2 JB. I tried upgrading to 4.3 pacman, and it overheated my phone, used all my RAM, just multiple problems. Any help find this ROM would be much appreciated.
Why is this in development section?

Thanks everyone for NOT helping. I've already tried that, and got no answers, figured I tried and look somewhere else, but apparently everyone here is useless too.

PACman works fine. There are no heating issues unless you use the phone heavily. I haven't read about heating issues in the latest posts in the PACman thread. Using the phone heavily gets you heating issues on any ROMs, even stock. Try a clean install.
Anyways, try keeping questions in the right section next time. There is the development thread, probably somewhere to post bugs, and also the Q&A thread.

Go check your original post in the Q&A section. I provided you with a link to the PAC Rom v23.0.0.
Posted in wrong section now see you double posted adhere to XDA rules..
Thread closed.
After trying lots of ROMs 5.1.1 and 6 that didn't make me happy I'm back on stock 5.0.1 which was the last release for my phone. I like it the best since it's the only ROM that hasn't major bugs and it remains fast over time where the custom ROMs suffer from major lag after time and weird crashes I do not experience in the stock ROM.
I would like however to get rid of all the bloatware.
Is there a stock ROM which is optimised and debloated? I don't seem to find one and I've looked around believe me.
Hope anyone has a good tip.
Sorry bro,can't help you but
There is a rule where you shouldn't post "what ROM to chose"
So your thread needs to be closed

I don't think you actually can ask people for these kind of stuff on the Original Android forum.. This need to be asked in General Stuff i think or its just not asked and try yourself or in the ROM forums itself to ask how stock it is i dont know.
Ok thanks
Mods will move this thread to Q&A shortly, but if you're looking for customized stock ROMs, you want to look in the Development subforums, instead of the ORIGINAL Android Development subforums.
