Yes the s6 one is the only one working i know but i really want to have cyanogenmod for my a5 before any other mod,and the s6 one is not that different of the lollipop update 5.02 with a lot of bugs as its the older release of lollipop.

Ohh thats sad :/. but still ill just be patient for a developer to start to build for my specific device. The A5 can really be a nice successor. I really wish it brings same positive aspect same as the S series. Cause so jealous of samsung series have more developer than us. Anyway Good luck guys.

agreed, its a great phone with great promise, but its problem with this chinesse models and same phone with 4 diff models. You aactually need more develpoers than. I hope it will get better soon, its kinda still new phone, but compared to s series, its better to buy s5 and have tons of roms, if you are in to that stuff.I had same problem with htc desire 820, chinesse phone with no develpors, tons of models and 0 roms

We feel so unlucky to see roms for other A5's but not for our specific variant (A500H) :'( So sad

Hello Dejan, thanks!
Do you really think the stock rom is better than all the available custom roms ?

I think, AuroraRom is the best for baterry. He is there http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920 . If you want try him without wiping, you can use DualBoot Patcher Tool for MultiBoot ROMs.

After a long search, I decided to try the CM + Temasek. I guess it's ok, i'm gonna try this one for a while
So, what about the Temasek kernel configuration? Is there any topic about it? Or can you suggest me anything?

I need advice on S3 neo 1901i ROMS

Hi everyone i currently have a samsung s3 neo GT 1901I almost for a year and a half and it's been stuck on 4.4.2 i love this phone, it has never given me any freezing or rebooting issues but i was thinking now to try go to custom firmware's so guys with a similar phone to mine, please advice me which is the current most stablest rom for my device which i can flash in and if it is stable could you tell me some on the known bugs on it ? i really don't wanna flash a rom and be in full regret as i find this phone of mine really stable on my current stock rom
Thanks in advance for taking your time reading this

Flash cm 12.1

for me it's better to stay on the stock
a friend of mine suggested that I try the CM 12.1 , I really like it but it caused me a lot of troubles espaicially with the battery
then I went back to stock, however it's not the same solid and efficient phone I used to have.
but anyway, that's my personnel experience , if you're used with things like flashing and trying different ROMs go ahead
I think CM 12.1 is the best , there is a thread here ( I think) where the isuues I mentionned are probably fixed
good luck

If you like AOSP ROMs I suggest you to use CM12.1 by @Rox with the kernel made by @n1kolaa.
But if you're passionated for TouchWiz like I am I recommend you to use Project Lucky by @Ciro. It has a bit of random reboot problems, but it's the most stable LL TouchWiz ROM for our beloved S3 Neo.

Thanks for the reply and sharing your experience. I once had a lg e400 and went all out with on custom roms but they were never stable all were nightly roms i was hoping for a stable rom for this neo i have but you kinda have convinced not to play around with the stock rom to be honest

Hi, quick question. I wanted to flash the Project Lucky S7 Style ROM by Ciro but the kernel version on my phone is 3.4.0 and the kernel verion of the rom is 3.0.x. Is it safe to flash?? Please let me know. Thanks

Battery is better on stock, and of course that stock is better for our phone but if you want to experience something new you should wait a few day 'cause CyanogenMod 12.1 is going to be official.

what i have currently is stock rom 5.0 with lean kernel , and my device model SM-N9005.
what i look for is scratch stock rom with very very minimal fast build and i really don't care about themes or any visual things . i just wanted the best stable performance.
I'm sick of flashing my note 3 from rom to another , i wonder if there is any ready deodex stock rom so i can remove the unwanted apps manually or any rom you suggest and light me up.
pleases help me out because it's bean long time and I'm searching here and there without clue.

You could try temasek cm13, or resurrection remix. Both are very light builds.

Android 5.1.1 is a very stable version, dark lord 5.1.1, music liber version ,phronesis Last version, aroma music Last versions.

thanks for replay , i have to read more about those ROMs cuz i dot want to be in the same issue before like i did almost every time i flash the ROM

I have been using CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly builds for over a year now and it's stable, very close to pure android (with some addons) and is just great.

i have bad experience on that ROM on Note3 Unlike Note1 work just fine.

I really like rayman95 light version of ROMs but the issue is the device never recognize my language at all , I have no problems with English but many important emails and messages I can't read it at all and so far I don't know anyway to flash language pack "ARABIC".

Any updates on this? I have the same device, recently got it, want to see if there's a good rom to run to get rid of all the non-sense bloatware from the branded ROM that I have.

try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718684
download here: mega:#!bEVRVZpZ!goal7Ku3guATOe7O-376r2YcO4-RfzSx459lN6fK6Ic
it's an android 4.4.2 version tho, will try it myself too
edit: or this 5.1.1 android - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/slim-kiss-t3091848
LE: i've came to the conclusion after flashing 5 custom roms that original firmware is the best, unrooted... and you wanna get rid of the bloatware (like all of us do), just disable the unwanted apps
