Stuck on locked bootloader...best option? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just looking for opinions on the most stable rom out right now for locked bootloaders. I'm looking for a rom that doesn't do the whole screen dimming out randomly. Just drop some opinions and I'll go from there.

5.0 roms : Phoenix or alliance

Honestly if you're locked you may want to look into FreedomROM

I am in love with the 5.1.1 Note ported ROMs. Sure there are differences, but the gains outweigh most- especially the permissions security settings.

Best rom for dd?

I currently am running liquidsmooth 3.2. I just found out that the thread for that ROM has been closed as per OP's request. I would like to switch to a different ROM but based on current choices, I don't know which one would be the best for a daily driver in terms of stability and performance. You advice would greatly appreciated.
Carbon rom is made by many off the devs from Liquid
Bionic Rom is pretty stable , basically stock with bionic patches for krait.
Paranoidandroid ROM is the way to go!

Xylon ROM is one of the most stable roms out there. I would say any of the big name roms in the Original development section are pretty stable. Codefire, Xenon, anything else that isn't in beta.
I love Rasbeanjelly and MMuzzy myself.

Basically any rom is good enough for a daily driver on this phone, I know its a Douchy answer but with a nexus its basically your opinion its not like we are using Roms on the next update with major bugs to be worked on lol

If you want something close to stock with some nice additions that add to the ROM I highly recommend MMuzzy. It's stock with the addition of clear all button for recently opened apps, T9 dialer, customizable quick settings, enhanced power menu and the addition to determine between H and H+ speeds. Other than that it is stock. But a good start for a first time ROM.

Cyanogenmod 4.3

Hi all,
Forgive this thread and of course move/delete if needed, but I just wanted to voice my excitement for the day CM comes the the device. I will be receiving N9005 October 9th on Three coming from the Note 2 and simply cannot wait to not only start the customisation of Samsung TW but furthermore the moment beginning flashing the custom minimalistic roms that CM and AOSP bases will be offering us.
I'm curious to see how the performance and battery life etc will be, cliché questions I realise, and how such a lightweight system on such a powerful device will be a pleasure to operate. Also I wonder of the amount of available ram could ever be changed? So I see currently that there's around 2.3gb or so system reserved (don't quote me) available and so could more of this be released when on a CM rom?
Either way, just thought I'd create a place where we can all build up some discussion for when we first begin to get a glimpse of hopefully what's to come...
Hi there and good to hear you are exited about the Note 3, as for customisation i think AOSP roms will be the best way to customise, since one developer is allready trying to make the exposed framework to work its getting blocked by the Samsung KNOX security.
I'm getting the feeling stock rom customisation is getting tough because of this KNOX stuff.
As root will break KNOX. Exposed farmwork or asop deal will be the same

This is great news, this beginning is always so thrilling, in checking Xda so often to check the progress from watching root come out etc. I can't wait for likes of (here's hoping) Slim Bean to venture this way......

Beans ROM, Hyperdrive, ButterBoost, or Stock.

I've tried all three and really can't decide which one I like the most. Which on are you using and why?
Sent from my Beans Powered N3 using xda app-developers app
I've been using Hyperdrive since the first build came out for Note 3 and the thing I like most about it is the battery life. I unplug at between 5 and 7am and by the time I go to bed at night I'm usually still around 75 - 80%. Of course it runs much smoother for me than stock does and I like the customizations that come along with it as well. I tried to flash Beans last night just to check it out but for some reason it wouldn't boot so I just restored my nandroid. I'm planning on flashing Beans when I get a little more time and checking it out but for now I'm extremely pleased with Hyperdrives performance on my device.
Eclipse
Im gonna wait on Nitro and his fabulous eclipse rom, it will be awesome, right now running stock trimmed out.
Try both and see if you like either one better than stock.
I basically switch everyday cause they're both so good

Might as well do this. With SafeStrap, you can load up multiple ROMS and switch as your heart desires. Honestly, don't know why phones with unlocked bootloaders don't have a Recovery that allows ROM slots. Seems to make perfect sense so you can load up more than one ROM. Just like partitioning your hard drive and running Windows on one side and Linux on the other. You can chose what you want to use, when you want to. Cant beat it.
But to answer your question, I am running HyperDrive since version 1. Havent really tried Beans. Sure it runs just as good. I am just happy with Hyper right now.
Stock with xposed framework and modules. While i appreciate everything the dev's do, development is not far enough along to leave stock with xposed yet.
Also on stock with too many mods in xposed to count. I seriously can't see any reason to flash a rom. I'm consistently getting up to 2 days uptime and I have all the mods I could ever want.

So i struggled for the longest time why one rom on my phone would play nicer than the other , if they both use the same base.
So I formulated a theory , which can be really wrong , so take it with a grain of salt: Currently I have close to 120 user apps and wanam xposed with multiple customizations. I feel like your set is up is the reason why one rom will be buggy with poor battery life and other will be phenomenal. That is why you will find people swearing with one and hating the other. It is hard to find a perfect rom for all, since android varies tremendously due to its wonderful inherent ability to be customized.
of course you can also argue for coding, build boxes and smali skills.
which goes back to the main point, you need to try it out because compatibility between the developer's build and your set up is key to the perfect rom combination
so dont be startled if you try a rom that others rave about and it sucked on your phone , just move on and vice versa.

If you aren't using SafeStrap 3.65, you're missing out on the ability to test up to 5 ROM's at once. If you are, my apologies for misunderstanding your post.

Tried beans and didn't provide that much customization. And battery was horrendous on all of the builds for me. Hyperdrive has more customization way way way better battery for me and I'm beta testing for him.

I totally agree with you there. My battery life on HyperDrive is ridiculous. I can go almost two days before I need to plug my phone in. I'm very satisfied with HD and don't plan on switching anytime soon. I ended up staying on RLS2 cause my theme was causing my phone to reboot whenever I pressed the lock button after I took the RLS3 update, but overall HD is a very solid ROM and I'm quite content with it.
I just recently flashed the newest hyperdrive update RLS3 On 11/27 I'm having problems on the power menu doesn't show the power off also in the very top next to the clock it shows a lock icon what is it there for and can I remove it

Best ROM for battery life and performance?

Last time I ever flashed a ROM or participated in this was about 3 years ago. I'm pretty fresh to how this works and all but i still remember the gist of it. I just got my nexus 4 and am hoping to make it better

ROM will be pretty much irrelevant. The vast majority are AOSP based, with the differences being visual tweaks and added features, which add little, if any, drain on the battery. Some features, like pocket mode, might drain a bit more, but it's up to you to use them. All will run smooth as butter, stock. It's things like live wallpapers, excessive widgets, and apps running in the background that'll cause lag and stutters.
Custom kernels can help with battery life, but it's a small percentage, and it depends more on how you use the phone. A wakelock detector app plus Greenify can keep your phone from constantly waking and syncing, and that helps battery life a lot. And of course, screen brightness is the biggest battery killer of all.

Well if you want a really smooth and battery friendly rom, I'd recommend the L preview.. If you want a Kk rom I'd recommend liquidsmooth as it's feature packed and optimized really well. I personally have used both and right now use LS with Unleashed kernel.. It's a great combo. But in the end you gotta try out doff things to see what you like

Well I doubt you would be able to even install an ota update of the official L.. You'd have to probably flash a new rom based on it or flash the factory image once it's out.. I'm sure rooted base roms of L would come out within a week of the release so you could flash that.. But if you want the ota, then you can go back to factory image 4.4.4 after release of L and get the ota after.. But no root.

Temasek is awesome. But the only thing that drove me off CM12 builds are the Bluetooth volume control. Once you go to 70%, it will keep increasing in the background and the audio gets all distorted. Being a person who keeps his bluetooth on all day, I'd prefer to listen to my music blasting out and a nice, fixed, clear way - rather than having my ears blown to smithereens.
One more thing. I reverted back to 4.4.4 because of the plethora of working features. I don't want to be chasing waterfalls and always update to the latest ROM because of being new. I bought this phone because I like the potential it had on stock, and wanted to get the most out of it from a custom ROM. Mahdi was the way to go. Until I feel Lollipop is an upgrade rather than a downgrade, in features, I won't go back on my Daily Driver phone.
I may flash the odd Lollipop rom on my black OnePlus though. Keeping my bamboo one free of issues first.

I was using euphoria builds on and off but the dev here had an attitude publish so that's put me off using it and also CM gets far quicker fixes and there is something satisfying about doing your own builds as well.
I'm on rooted CM 11s waiting for BlissPop to iron out some little glitches.
