Light weight ROM s5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello my fellow S5 users! I just wanna know what people think is the most similar as ROM for S5 atm, when used S4 and S3 I used Slimrom as I'm not updated in the ROM univers I'm not sure what its called atm, but I would like something similar light weight but also customizable. I have looked at xtrestolite ROM and saw it as a good replacement as I use omega atm (4.4.4). The reason why I'm at KitKat is just because of stability and I would like that in my new ROM as well. It would be much appreciated!
Btw om not starting a best ROM thread I'm just asking for something similar to Slimrom that is also stable!

I have tested every rom I've come across and Xtrestolite v2.3 is the rom that passed the test of time Phoenix and Fusion rom I didnt find stable enough until very recently and there are some recent updates. There are probably more TW-roms thats good but those are the ones I like.
Probably any CM12.1-based rom is as stable as can be expected now in my humble opion. Personally I like Blisspop and Resurrection Remix, but Cyanogenmod might just be the most minimalistic I think.
Hope I helped

Seems like Blisspop and Resurrection Remix was just what I wanted so gonna try them both but I'm not sure if I should go for Android 5 or 6? Any opinion on that?

Yeah I have had some problems with random reboots on Marshmallow, I would try 6.0 again today since I'm not sure if they fixed it. Cm12.1 is just one flash away

Other's are just make-up to stock ROM. Lol i can do it with many tweaks. I want smooth & pure android experience on my phone. Was looked at for CM or other AOSP ROM's but found none. Used AOSP based ROM's on my every Android phone, low-range, mid-range (Galaxy 551,I9100,I9300) And that ROM was definetly better than stock rom. I want it again but seems like no-one intrested about it. :/

Can you find anything?
Some guys are trying to port CM11 to SM-N900 but there is no news until Oct. 30
It is too bad to have Exynos.

ROM question

Hello, my big brother is recently considering buying a Nexus 6P and I was wondering if I can do something for him, and I thought it might be a good idea if I install a new ROM (stable and light) his new phone, so I asked him if it's all right and he agreed but then I asked myself what ROM on Nexus 6P should I recommend him to install.
So I need you guys (the pros) can give me a stable ROM other than the Original ROM, and all I can think of is Resurrection Remix but on the XDA youtube channel the guy said it's not very stable, so could you guys be so kind and give me a recommendation? Should my brother stick with the Original ROM or should he switch to a new ROM? and if he should switch what ROM can install?
Thank you
If you just want stability then the stock rom is the best job for that,if you want light roms then Slim6 or Uberstock is the way to go, and if you want solid all-rounders then jgcaap's CM13 builds or Beans' PureNexus rom are really good.
Pure Nexus is probably the way to go, it's based on stock but has some good useful features thrown in.

You have to take things into consideration like if he uses Android pay. Some Roms don't have support for it. While custom Roms are fun sometimes they lose features that built in to stock

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

Yes, there is, but if you flash Stock ROM again you'll get your warranty again.
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.

ROM recommendations

Hi, looking for advice on which rom to use. I had a Samsung note 2 running cm13 (thanks to people on this forum) which I loved using. Due to the phone currently not running I snapped up a note 3 and now looking to see what's available for this.
Would I be right in thinking there's a cm 14 ROM that would be similar but newer/upgraded.? Looking for a daily stable ROM.
Thanks for any advice.

Why would you opt for a generic CM rom when you can get an N7 or N5 port (on the Note 3, anyway)?
I would go with an N5 port or if you want something newer, N7 which could come with some small little details. If everything fails, just go with stock. Most stable of them all!
Good luck.
i would recommend for pac rom lp 5.1.1 that is the most stable one! i have already try another marshmallow and nougat rom but i think for it is not still stable even marshmallow have been stabled

I'll have a look at the ports. I had a good experience with cm 13 so that's why I'm keeping it in mind. Thanks

Right now, if you want Nougat based ROMs, Resurrection Remix Nougat(RRN) would be your best shot. Not only does it have a great amount of customisations, but it is very stable as far as I know. What's more, if you flashed the Xenial kernel(find it in the development forum) alongside the ROM, you will have awesome battery life. That's my experience with that this ROM, after using it for more than three months.

What rom do you want? [S5 NEO]

it's all in the title

an unofficial CM mod, or something that's clean and looks somewhat stock
thank you very much
This means you will make rom for s5 neo? Im serious about this question and so excited since I use this phone and there are no roms. If yes how long it takes you to do that

By the way, there are already few custom roms for quite some time now.

id like something in the way of what MOAR was like but for marshmallow or nougat. Touchwiz and very moddable from within the ROM controls itself

S7/S8 rom with those apps. Almost every phone has them please
For G903M too, please!!
LineageOS pls
LineageOS would be awesome!
Yes, a port of Lineage OS 14.1 to Galaxy S5 Neo would be great. Most variants of the Galaxy S5 already have an official Lineage OS ROM.
Have you started making something or you still wait for votes bro.
Did someone tested this? lineage-14.1-20170525-UNOFFICIAL-s5neoltexx.zip
I'm getting a S5 Neo soon and just found it on AFH.
It's not made by me, I just prepare myself for my new device
*** OK, just found the thread, Sorry ***
