I want to know how often you flash a new ROM on your device and what you enjoy flashing on your Note 4. What are you trying to finally get at by flashing all these ROMs.
I'll go first:
Started with CM12
Went to Firekat
Then to TEKHD
Then to Resurrection Remix
Bliss Pop
Galaxy Note5 Ports! (Kyubi, Maya's ROM, Dr. Ketans Note5 Ports, etc. Tried them all.)
I've also done Poprocks!
I'm trying to find an as speedy TouchWiz ROM that doesn't look ugly and isn't too slow and is packed with features.
Stock. Nothing beats stock.

..ohh yeah. I totally agree.
my problem is, the white theme of samsung ui, hurts my eyes so bad
I flash between TEK, EXPRESS and OVERDRIVE. My wife thinks I am nuts every time I "re-do my phone" as she calls it.
I clean flash every time TEKHD gets an update. That is at least once every month.

Hi everyone! I just upgraded to the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Before I had the original Galaxy Note. I've rooted and loaded custom ROM's on all my previous Android devices (Captivate, Inspire 4G, Galaxy S II, and Galaxy Note), but I'm debating on rooting this device. It's running great on the stock ROM.
Has anyone else debated this? If so, did you go ahead and root and loaded a ROM then regret it or were you glad you did it?
You can run it absolutely stock and still be rooted. Rooting gives you the advantage of certain apps that require it, as I'm sure you know, such as Titanium Backup, Root explorer and others. Plus ability to get rid of AT&T apps you never do or never will use. fwiw
Root it! You want regret it. The possibilities are endless. And if you do prefer a stock like rom, well believe me there are GREAT custom stock like roms that these great devs have put together that run flawlessly with added benefits. Hope this helps. Happy Rooting

even if you plan to keep the stock ROM, its worth it to root so you can uninstall the AT&T bloatware and remove the AT&T splash screen on start-up.

I am on stock with root. I rooted it using Adam's casual only to have TiBu work. I froze all ATT bloats and some google and samsung apps. The stock is very fine for me.
Now I am debating to flash Paranoid rom to try their multiwindow and halo features...
Thanks for all the input everyone, I appreciate it. Knowing me I'll end up rooting it and loading a ROM since I can't leave stuff alone. HA!
Does anyone know if there's a ROM out there that someone has gotten Bluetooth Tethering to work? That's one thing I miss from ICS on my Galaxy Note.
Hey gk
In same boat, been flashing roms hundreds of times for over 3 years from early Nexus One days. Most of the reasons were to get newer OS's without waiting. However, one of the reasons I got the S4 was it already has the latest as in 4.2.2.
One thing I have learned as most of us have is there always seems to be something not 100% on each rom for some folks. Goes with the territory as we know. Although, I have been lucky in that area. Maybe due to lots of reading and proper pre-install wipes. Hats off to all the devs though for their long and tiresome hours giving us these great roms.
My concern, since this is early on with the S4 and no unlocked bootloader, are our chances higher to have issues.
My phone with all it's "gimmicks" is running fast and perfect--NO issues. I also would like TiBu and eventually a custom recovery for nandroids even if I don't flash a custom rom. Used both CWM and TWRP in the past. Also, Amon_Ra. All worked great for me.
But, like you and others will probably root and flash a custom recovery anyway.
Damn Samsung for making this so tough of a decision--
I was in same position lol I've been flashing andneven Ade a few Roms but ya know its cool and all but its a hassel sometimes enough for me to be stock! There's no reason IMO to flash anything this phone is packed to the gills with features already and its on a very new os so I feel like I wanna root and flash away but have found no reason to YET key word there and of course its purely my own standpoint

Root it! You can get new features before they come to your carrier. ... I debated it and told myself I would stay rooted but run stock rom.... now they figured out ways to bypass the bootloader and flash roms and im back to crack flashing lol. ..
Yup. I thought I wouldn't root this thing. That lasted a week. Then I told myself it's fine the way it is, I don't need to flash a rom. That lasted 3 weeks. I'm not a flashaholic though. I usually pick one and stick with it for a while.
You think it runs fine until you've rommed it and added a kernel. Then you realize you had no idea how fine it could be.

I wouldn't ever even own a phone that I couldn't root. It just gives you freedom over your phone. Again you don't NEED to run a custom rom to be rooted, but check out some of the TW custom Tom's that just take the phone to another level but still being stock

I'm more than likely going to root and load a ROM soon. I'm between two different ROMs.

I was a flashaholic on the captivate, and S II. I loved trying new ROMs like Miui and AOKP. But, since I got the Note II and now the S 4 I don't have that desire. My only reason for rooting usually was TiBu, and only from flashing so often. Without flashing a new ROM each week I had little need for restoring apps. After three weeks I finally rooted and started trying ROMs on this phone. It was about the same for my Note. I really like TouchWiz, and miss some of those features on AOSP based ROMs. I don't see the performance need for custom ROMs on either of these phones like I did on the older phones. I guess it just came out of boredom, in the end.

Well, I finally gave in and rooted--knew I would
Used Adam's Casual--very easy--much more so than my HTC phones
TiBu and Nandriods already in use
Next step roms--
Still haven't rooted yet. I probably will over the weekend. Why can't I leave stuff alone? HA!
If you have played with your Galaxy S3 for a very long time.......now the time has come to make it ready for some freaky roms and tweaks.:angel:
FIRST THING TO DO IS
1.ROOT your android phone

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-s3-i9300xxugna7-android-4-3-jelly-bean-1435664
Follow the rules posted here.
2.Install Custom Rom,I prefer CMhttp://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i9300&type=nightly
Many of the users don't like to use VANILLA UI after using TOUCHWIZ UI.
So,I prefer instaling MIUI.Even if MIUI is based on older version of Android,it is still one of the best custom rom I have ever used for a phone.\
Here is the link for it too
="http://enbigota.d.miui.com/4.4.11/miui_i9300_4.4.11_436e5b96d5_4.1.zip"
This version of MIUI is based on Android 4.2.2
3.FLASH Philz recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
4.Now that you are bored,flash the stock firmware and sell your S3 and grab a new phone.

When I first received my phone,I was very curious to flash Custom Roms,tweaks.But after making all these things,I sold my phone and bought a Nexus 4
If you are on here, you rooted and flashed a custom rom well before you thought the s3 was an old phone
Give it to me for free. That's what you should do with it.

Why not a Nexus 5?
100% root your phone and get rid of the ugly stock OS IMO.
How long did you used your s3? And how much do you know about it.

When I read the title I expected something like:
1. Take a camera
2. Take a hammer
3. Start recording while you hit your phone
4. Throw it as high as possible
When i see that phone restart from an app, like gplay, maps, etc, and it does this every day, i know that it's rom fault. This new phone have this problem. Brand new.
Other note i own, on 4.3 its super stable.
What rom could i put on this note with 4.4.2 to be super stable?
An rom with good battery and quite stable.
Thanks.
I take the risk and update with mobile odin on xxuend3. Seems ok for now. Root, xposed remain, knox 0x0. Old bootloader remain, as well the modem.
If anyone know an better rom then xxuend3 pls post it. Don't want any newer then this, because i need root.

You could update it to the latest NG iterations. But tbh the battery is even worse there.
You can flash custom ROMs that fit your liking in the Android Development forums. I used Xnote and I didn't have random reboots because of the ROM, but because of the kernel.
Compulsion Kernel or ColonelX kernels are what cool kids use nowadays, mainly because of stability.
If I were to ever go back to TW ROMs however, I'd use the S5 ports.

I was using superman rom i think months and months and months ago in marshmallow. Went back to stock S7 edge rom when nougat came out, like the changes alot but its slow and i want to start tinkering with roms again. I have been away from forum for like 6 months or more.

Ever since I got this phone, just before Christmas I've been using ambasadiis rom, no lag at all battery life is amazing he puts out frequent updates also
I've tried many roms and I just suggest ambasadiis ROM.... with ROM control... It's amazing:good::good:
I've been using Resurrection Remix for the past few months now and it's the best I've used, highly customisable, no Touchwiz or bloat and I've yet to have an issue with it, I would suggest you give it a shot personally

What ROM's are people running on their Verizon LG V20? Im getting ready to root mine and go through that process. Looking over the ROM's though and they seem to be lacking. Back in the day we had tons of options, now we have a handful on XDA. Are there ROM's people are running that arent listed?
Using the LineageOS weekly builds and they've been pretty good. Mostly just missing out on the second screen though.

That's true for anything. Just going out on a limb here, I'm guessing since we are in the LG V20 forum its safe to assume we are using that device.
Next time come prepared with proof of your claim. With no proof and bold claims you sound like a fool.
as Android goes further the ROM field is super small now KK had the biggest amount of ROMS not a lot of this model I have this version too we have RR DU is coming down the line Lineage WETA AOKP Here is a list of ROMS https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=us996&type=files

I have a vs995 and I'm running XOSP ?
Did i pick the wrong phone i cant seem to find a whole lot of roms for the verizon variant I want a debloated stock or a twrp stock flashable that i can use magisk on it is inexcuseable how much verizon pushed onto this phone is it such a tall task do i really have to choose between having no root with a carrier bloated rom and a working 2nd screen to use a asop type rom?

The Verizon build of not so stock is probably what you're looking for. Stock based so everything works minus all the bloat. Has static at boot, search some of the other kernels, there is a few that fix static at boot.

None I had issues getting it to work had issues booting found weta it worked it has a janky root but it worked and Pokemon go worked and I don't even get the static lines on the screen...
BroeknOs to be
Currently I'm running stock OS on LightningZap! kernel (still in beta, but looking like I'll have a release soon).
I have gotten BrokenOs running quite well and smoothly. But lacking the second screen is what's holding me back.
