[Q] Help with ROM recommendation

Hello!
I'll make this quick and sweet.
I bought my nexus 4 about a month ago and i love it.
However i'd like to customize it, i've rooted it and everything.
I'm currently rocking a 4.3 custom rom.
I need help with recommendation with some ROM, i've tested a few but cant really find out what i like.
Could you guys recommend a ROM for me?
What i want is: Much customization as possible, Decent battery life, Much speed, PIE controls (or something similar to it) and maybe some other stuff what might be useful.
Thank you so much.

I would recommend you SlimBean Rom. Full of customization. PIE, Halo and what not.
I got a battery backup of 1d 10hrs with 4+ SOT , had posted this in Slim thread too. :good:
Just flash it and you will surely love it. :good:
Press thanks if I helped you.

On Beta 5 you can use Hells core kernel JWR version.. but just wait for a day or two beta 6 is coming soon. :good:
The stock kernel is also good, you can test on it and then make a call to take try other kernels.

Well I was on PAC but the last releases were very buggy so I decided to try paranoidandroid nightly and I must say I am very, happy with it! The Rom itself doesn't have all the customization the PAC or AOKP but it has more then Cm!
But the most important thing is that it is 100% stable! And has a very nice battery life! Never had one problem with it!
Oh and Pie and Halo are originally from paranoidandroid so they also work here the best!

[Q] In need of advice: Roms

Hello guys i am in need of advice,
I'm a note 3 owner, i flashed my phone and rooted it from 4.2.2 and now im using a S5 ported rom.
Although it's a good rom i hate the menu's and i just really want the note 3 settings menu back, basicly i want the old KK back that was made for the note 3.
The problem is: i am constantly searching for a good rom that has download booster and the new battery saver added into it. i'm constantly searching throughout the forum but i just can't find the right one.
Which ones are you guys using on your note 3 with which kernel and do you maybe have an idea on which rom has these things beside a s5 ported rom?
Thanks in advance :good: :laugh:

There's a plenty of other roms in the development thread. Perhaps you should try multiX v2.0. Personally my phone is using x-note and DU sometimes but people's choice are different, so try each of them yourself.

thankyou for your reaction, i will have a look immidiately!

Looking for a rom that still has S-Pen functionality but on stock Android?

Hey,
been a while since I been here(from back in the days of my Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up a Note 4. I like it. I somewhat dislike the TouchWiz and hate how out of box it's using 1.8-2GB of ram on start up(assuming because of TouchWiz).
Is there any roms out there that run practically stock Android(pref. 5.0 Lollipop?) but still have the S-Pen suite enabled, including the part when I pull my S-Pen out it notices it and gives me that "Air command" menu.
One last plus would be something that gives me the ability to still use fast charge 2.0.
I looked up a couple of roms but unless I missed something they don't offer these features.
Any help? I have the Canadian N910W8 model and use it on Band 4 AWS/UMTS(3G) and LTE on various freq's so the radio would(should, preferably stay in-tacked)
Thanks!

I don't think this belongs in this section man, maybe ask it in the Q and A. It will probably get moved.
On answering your question, at this stage there is no stock aosp rom that supports spen functions. It's a little bit of a dream for most users. Although I hear that lollipop will be faster than stock, that's what I've read.

That's wrong. There is S-Pen functionality in cm12 at this moment. All you have to do is download and install one or two apps from Play Store. This apps are even free.
It is CM S-Pen en Note Buddy. I have installed them myself and S-Pen does work.

Found this the other day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.spenlauncher&hl=en
Im running cm12 with the following
s pen launcher
cm s pen add on
note buddy
papyrus
this gives me basic s pen functions but is more than adequate for my needs

You are not entirely right either. There are free versions of this apps, but for full functionality you have to pay, not that there is anything wrong with it, just stating the fact. Also you have some s-pen functionality, but not all of it, and in my opinion CM12 s-pen functionality is somewhat less fluent and intuitive then TW one. Regardless, I still prefer CM than TW
I would also like to know how is this thread relevant to Development section

Be careful throwing around the word 'wrong'. I did say as far as I know, just trying to help someone out. There is apps you can use with cm or some other aosp roms, but it's nothing like the spen features you get from within TW. Not that I'm a big fan of it myself, I have quite a few gripes myself, *cough* performance... But for the multi window and spen features, presently if you use them all, TW is it for now.

I have the same phone as you. So far LiquidSmooth and the Unofficial CM-12.0 are the only Lollipop builds that can even use the S-Pen (Unless you know of others). You won't get the TW features of course. I'm very slowly looking into building a AOSP Lollipop rom that is custom built for our N910W8 devices. I've never built my own before so it is a lot of learning.

It *should* be doing that. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It's caching stuff for speed so that the next time it needs to load up something, it can check if it still is in RAM already. It's not a TouchWiz thing.

You can still install it on other versions of the Note 4. Just expect some things not to work. If your running the CAN version of the Note 4 I don't recommend using LS atm due to very poor battery life on this model.

Not a problem!

Has anyone tried converting all the original s-pen apps to user apps with titanium backup, and then doing an app and data backup of them from the stock ROM, installing CM12, and then try to install them?
I'd try it myself, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate, not for myself. I think there's a possibility that it might work. It's gotta be worth a try..
I've got CM12 on my S4, and it's awesome.

Now the omega touchwiz rom are released:
imo the best rom and all features would work like in stock.
try i..maybe what you seeking?

im your average user really ...

im using NORMA right now the battery is 50 50 on it...i want something fast with a good battery really....

Battery backup is more or less same on ALL the ROMs. When I say ROMs I mean TW based ROMs obviously.
If you want to extend it use Xposed modules like Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap or those kinds. Really not interested in those things, but you can always do a Google search.
By the way, this post belongs to Q&A section. Why post in under Development section!!!

I've used a lot of roms. Cm 12.1 had the best battery life. But you lose all touch wiz features, like multi window, but some can be acquired through apps. I would suggest getting CM 12.1 straight from the source. Look on YouTube for a tutorial. All of these roms are based on Cm 12.1 or Touch Wiz. So for the most part their all the same. Different skins, different clock speeds, different wallpapers, different themes, but underneath their the same.

Try miui 7, I think it's got better battery than tw or cm rom. It was one of the features of miui 7. Really smooth too.

What N4 rom do you prefer? Dr.Ketan or Norma N7?

Hi everyone, long time no see. I'm now back where i belong with you Android guys&Girls.
the possibility to tweak my phone)
Now for the actual question, cause i sure need your help.
I Went back to my Old Note 4 and now I'm trying to Choose between Dr.Ketan and Norma.
Since you are expert on these and surely have tried at least on of them (if not both and more) Can you please give me some advice on what rom to use.
Battery is important to me, aswell is having the phone acting smooth. Im not a big user of the S-pen but i can really appreciate it when time comes.
What rom would you prefer, and please elaborate your answer on why the other one is better than the other.
Thanks in advance!

Dr. Ketan rom is a very stable rom .
Norma and aurora are in developement (but quite stable for daily use ).
If someday I get bored with roms and wish going back to a stock rom , then i might consider dr.ketan rom over official 6.0.1.
If you want to enjoy the latest grace ux , then there are many , but if you want rock solid performance and stability , i would suggest dr. Ketan m6.

Hi and thanks for the answer, i tried to install that rom, but my phone is in some kind of weird bootloop.
Sometimes it goes all the way into preparing android apps, just to go back to bootloop...WHYYYYYY!
I've got a 910F if that helps

Flash the h vitamin kernel after flashing the rom .

I thought i did that, but apparently not, anyways, it works now.
Do you guys have any tips for some "must have" apps?

noble rom the best

I'm still stuck to Dr.Ketan's L16f. I tried norma and a few other roms, but I want rock solid stability, full features and ease of installation, without having to search for zips that fix this and that. I guess I'll wait a little longer till Norma or Aurora fix a few minor things that are still unsolved.

I'm using Norma N7 for last 1 month and it's very fine and after v4 it's much stable now.

Norma is @@@ of the roms a few more updates and we have a note 7 until 8 comes out!!!
SM-N910F

Note4 N910G
Dr. Ketan rom M6 is best.
It has themes support ,Volte ,and all other functions which nesessary for device .i got antutu benchmark 80757 which is closer to note5 and battery backup is awesome i get almost 6hrs plus screen on time (sot) see screenshots with 2 hours net browsing.

In order to have Dr Ketan M6 working, you should flash both lollipop bl and modem.
For apps, to me, root explorer, kernel adiutor, sidesync (this one is brutal, you can control your phone with your PC) and KLWP are essentials for me....
Another essential app is Samsung themes...too bad stock Note 4 roms haven't this feature...

So lots the Best of the other noms i.e. Ramrom

Hi Melissakis just wondering what unit you are using Coz mine run too slow that I can't even restart my fon nor open any apps when I'm using Dr. Ketan I love it but everytime I have also FC. But don't get me wrong we have different preference. Btw try to install aurora with proper fix, kernel and you will see. NORMA v4 already out but I returned to aurora even though it doesn't have compatibility with 3minit. Found Norma bugs is always the same

I haven't any issue with this rom for the last 5,6 months. Aurora is not for me yet, I don't want to mess with workarounds for fingerprints, zips to fix this and that etc. Aurora and Norma are great even now, but I'll wait a little longer, until they become absolutely perfect.

yop.....RamROM V6 with suggested kernel is the best.
It has Default N4 fingerprint scanner working, there is no need of third party apps as were used in other fabulous ROMs like DR.KETAN'S and NORMA or X-ROM.
Basically, RamROM is not an N7 ported rom.
But i have a suggestion using RemROM kernel with N7 ported roms like NORMA or X-ROM will give best results and its more stable, no battery drains and no over heats. :good:
(As this kernel is compiled using UberTC which give best results when compared to other Stock/N7 ported kernels, thanks for @Ram121 ).
