I'm looking forward to make my I9505 go full AOSP. TouchWiz bothers me with it's UI, the size of files and also it's awfully slow on my device, somehow. With all AOSP benefits, though, I'll be missing some TouchWiz apps, like the camera with slowmotion recording and S-View cover.
Is there any way to get those, or at least a 3rd party equivalent for an AOSP based ROM?
BONUS
What AOSP ROM do you guys recommend me?
Having it be compatible with Viper4Android FX is good. Great if I can use a normal USB connection (like this app does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888) rather then the SD card-corrupter Samsung's MTP.
Can be 4.3 or 4.4 (4.4 preferred, as I want to see what's new)
Those apps wont run native. Maybe some apps are ported, but you have to search for that.
There is no best aosp rom. Just try it out what suits your needs. That question is not allowed here, because every rom has it own benefits and cons, thus "best rom" does not excist.
Hi I've created this thread to know which ROM S4's users use
Feel free to justify your vote !
I use touchwiz ROM (note5 ported rom) because it has some useful features like private mode ,ultra powersaving mode and also because it looks beautiful and I prefer it also because I never found any cynogen build which had good quality camera ...I always felt as if the quality of pictures I take is really bad in cyanogen
Im using a debloated Stock TW ROM with Root. Its okay until I decide to buy a new phone. I tried all the CM, modded TW etc. ROMs but they all had to much problems (Bluetooth, Camera quality etc. with CM, freezing sensors with modded tw roms).
Im using note 5 port from ale95. Its decent. And like because the features. I mean why having a videocall capable phone if we are not going to use it? With cm you dont have it. And the camera....afs.
Asking to AOSP users. Is there a ROM which is with least number of bugs and won't make regret my decision of using AOSP over TouchWiz? And are the TW exclusive features working on those? Like the different screen modes for example, or a good S Note alternative, Scroll capture, etc.
I am getting bored of TW actually.
Thanks in advance.
I need your best advise and/or suggestions. I've been a fan of custom ROMs and switching from Touchwiz Nougat (e.g. Nemesis Reborn) to Lineage OS to stock G900F firmware seems to be what I always do (am I the only one who does this?). I am undecided as to which software should I use as my daily driver. These ROMs are great and have their own pros and cons, but I've been annoyed of the fact that I keep switching ROMs which is somehow a waste of time and could even mess up my device in the future.
Touchwiz: The ultimate deciding factor for me is the stock S5 camera app. If you can find similar camera app on the Google Play Store that gives almost the same results let me know.

Footej Camera has a great user interface but the quality of the photo it produces is not that good; noise, grain, blur -- those stuff. Also, it has no real FAST auto-focus. Essentialy, it just focuses continuously, but it does not really detect objects whether they are near or far. If it ever focuses into something, it's not that accurate, it's blurred.
The stock S5 camera app is not perfect, it does not have manual settings, but among all the camera apps for the S5, it is the best. That's why I'm sticking with a Touchwiz-based ROM.

Your welcome,
Thank me later.....
This allows you to have 2 rooms on one phone.
hard decision. Stock touchwiz for better gaming performance and better camera (especially during low light and focus). Lineage os if you want a smooth ui experience and nougat features...

Exactly! ???
Touchwiz. Working smooth
I personally use an AOSP ROM (RR 5.8.2) for my Galaxy S5 (klte). I don't use the camera too often. Plus, the camera quality isn't as bad compared to stock ROM. As for gaming, I don't​ play games anymore on my phone since the top grossing Android games would force you to spend money to progress (usually) which isn't good. I just want my phone to look like how I want and experience smooth Android experience. But your mileage may vary.
Lineage Based:
-Better performance
-Touchwiz lacks the customization options I want
-Touchwiz feels bloated to me even with the debloated Note 7 or A7 firmware
-Latest version of Android
-The features in Touchwiz aren't very practical (I set up the edge panels and then proceeded to never use them, AOD drains the battery)
-Can have better battery life depending on which ROM / Kernel are used
-I have been happy with the quality from Open Camera
-The Lineage stock apps (other than file manager) are awesome

Thanks bro. I've decided to use lineage because of the same reasons.
Open camera has the same functions as stock sansung camera?
Blur background, etc ?
What customization are you using in lineage?
What kernel is good ? I have on stock lineage

No camera has the same features as stock Samsung camera.
Open Camera is the only 1 I have found that (IMO) takes similar quality photos and has good hdr plus many manual settings. It is also very stable.
I have been trying many different kernels lately:
Smartpack lite - was not happy with the battery life even though it is supposed to be a battery oriented kernel
Boeffla venom - have been using yankactive governor for a day and preliminary results are very good. Will be trying impulse and ondemandplus also.

Thanks for answering. Recommend using Boeffla venom. I'm in the stock kernel
You guys wrote about Touchwiz Nougat but there is no 7.0 Nougat ROM Touchwiz based for G900F. Why?

fv camera its amazing with almost total control manual mode inluded
TouchWiz is one of the most modified and conceivably heavy Stock Roms of native android between companies, but its interface is very flashy and intuitive, and the system is very sophisticated, giving an impression of exclusivity.
On the other hand, Lineage OS gets closer to pure Android, has a simpler, lightweight and stable interface, greater compatibility with third-party apps and greater flexibility to system modifications.
Note: Samsung's "Camera" app for example is much higher compared to the same "Camera" app available in Lineage OS, after all, the original app was designed for the original rom itself. If you decide to install Lineage OS, you can choose to use the "Cameringo" app available in the "Play Store", it's the best non-native camera app I know, but it's paid.
Recommendation: Keep using the latest official Stock Rom version available for your device. Only install Custom Roms (like Lineage OS) from android versions that are not officially available for your device model.
Hi all,
I am unsatisfied with a few things on my S7 Edge. I am critizising the performance, multitasking, battery life, camera and too many Samsung apps.
I know I can disable many samsung apps but e.g. I would like to use Google Photos instead of Samsung's Gallery.
Default Camera oversharpens to much, so a little tweaking here would be cool.
What custom rom suits my needs best?
Thanks in advance
You can use google photos instead of Gallery though Gallery is a requirement for Samsung Camera so it cannot be removed. If you root your phone you can remove/disable any app you like. If you want a nice clean ROM try Helios. I even undervolt with the Apollo kernel and battery life is incredible.
