[BETA] Testers needed for Elix-R ROM

Hi Guys, many of you may recognize me from the Nexus 5 forum through my contribution of Elix-R ROM to the Nexus 5 forum. Elix-R was extremely popular but sadly the last update i released for it was well over 5 months ago due to lack of time. I have come back to the development scene and what better way than to update my widely popular ROM to V1.2 Tetra.
The main reason for this thread is me needing average users that are willing to test my rom. My ROM's main focus is Stability, and Speed, For that exact reason I use the GPe ROM as a base to ensure maximum stability as well as speed. I have dedicated several hours to ensure that this ROM will be the snappiest and quickest ROM that you will ever experience for the M8. Not even kidding when I say that upon boot on dalvik it multitasks like ART. Besides that I like to add a touch of class to my ROMS and stylize and implement some nice and simple features that will result in a much better user experience than you would have using Stock.
There is one thing, Elix-R is not like most AOSP ROMS out there. I don't try to pack as much features and useless crap that will flood the device's resources. My end goal is to provide the cleanest, fastest, and most elegant experience for a ROM. So for that exact reason I don't base any of my ROMS on CM11, PA, ETC so please don't ask me to port features like that to this ROM. As mentioned before I use the stock GPe ROM as a base so modifications such as Boomsound and Motion Launch Gestures work 100%.
In order to become a tester for Elix-R V1.2 Tetra please PM me and I will send you a personalized copy to you for BETA testing purposes. Simple flash it then send me a simple and small review of how it performs, if you encountered any bugs, how it looks, and what might be needed to improve. Thanks

BEST Galaxy S2 ROMS (GT19100)

Hi Friends.
I have a 3 yr old Galaxy S2 (GT19100) and I must say this is the longest running phone in the history of my Mobile Phone usage. I have been using Mobile phones from the year 2000 and I must say the technology has advanced so far on the last decade or so that at times I find it difficult to match up with it.
The purpose of this thread is to help Galaxy S2 users to find the best custom ROM's for S2 users. (Dev's and testers your feedback is the most valuable)
Personally, I am a fan of Samsung's Touchwiz skin and I have used Wizzedkat, Jellysnap, Revolution Rom etc and I would like to know your views on which Touchwiz based Rom you find the best and why.
I am yet to try the Fusion and I know there are many more Touchwiz based Roms.
I would appreciate your contribution as this will help all those who are looking for a stable Touchwiz based Rom which works great and gets the most out of our S2.

Sorry, but Best ROMs threads are usually not allowed.
So a mod is likely to freeze this thread.
Discussion might be possible if a thread is framed differently than "Best ROM".
That said, particularly with an older device like the GT-I9100 is now, I prefer AOSP ROMs. I prefer KitKat or Lollipop before older stock ROMs most of the time.
And despite what I, or many others, might feel about the situations about CM and CM Inc, CM11/12 and ROMs derived from it are still in the lead as far as popularity goes, though that lead has diminished over the last few years.
I currently have 18 active Android devices I use for testing my Android apps. And all of them has CM or CM derived ROMs available, except possibly for some Sony's if FXP is considered distinct from CM.
Of course my perspective is that of a developer, mostly doing app testing. Individual devices may have ROM's available that appeal more to people who like UI and other "extra whiz-bang" features.

Neat ROM!! Its awesome, just moved over to the 4.4.4 version if neat ROM and its good.

[Q] Request : Note 3 N900 ROM with S6 features and apps

I've seen a couple of ROMs like these for the Snapdragon powered Note 3 with a lot of S6 apps ported to their ROM. Is any such ROM in development for our Exynos Powered Note 3? For now I'm running Stock Lollipop with some S6 apps like Music, Smart Manager, TW Launcher etc, but It'd be great to have a completely new ROM built with S6 features and such. The phone app looks a lot better and resembles Vanilla android. If anyone is willing to try, I'll help you with the testing part.
Thank you

We got so less developers for note 3 n900 :/
We can't get s6 roms so much early maybe we have to wait for another 5-6 months

So true. but would we ever see a S6 ROM port soon? Even though we have a few devs, they've done some great work like giving us CM12 and such. Hopefully we'll see this too

Need it man....

What is the best rom for S4-I9505 ?! ( BEST BATTERY,PERFORMANCE )

Hi, what do you think is the best rom for S4 ?! And what rom do you use? Thanks

Hi,
As it's commonly said there's no such thing as best ROM, your best bet would be to go through your device subforum and read the threads for one that would satisfy your needs.
One thing I can suggest is that by my experience, AOSP based ROMs had better performance and battery life than TouchWiz based ones. That may help you on making a smaller search.
All the best,

Thanks i appreciate that.:good:

For my GT-i9505 i use Optimized CM13, for me it much better than touchwiz

Any ROM is better than TouchWiz.
It's not TouchWiz that's bad, it's the fact that it needs a lot of resources to run.

Please help me choose a ROM for N9005

Hi. I am aware there is no such thing as The Best Rom for model X. I have installed ROMS before in other smartphones and I've always admired all the effort put on every rom version by their authors.
I'm just asking for personal opinions / experiencies regarding the latest ROMs released for the Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) to help me decide according to the goals below.
I know there is a lot of information in every ROM thread and I have read many of them, but the particular difference with the Notes against other smartphones is the S-pen functionallity. Many roms don't mention the S-pen so It's a little difficult to tell which ones really suport these features, which are important to me.
In my case, I would be very happy if:
- The ROM has pen support (the reason I have the Galaxy Note).
- I think the ideal ROM would be close to the Note line, say, a port of N7, N8 or so.
- Battery Life is good (and/or settings can be tweaked to have better batery. life than stock Lollipop 5.0, if possible.)
- I really like latest Android versions, the newer the better (Android 9), but I can live with an older one (6, 7, 8...) if it's really more stable, fast, or battery life is better.
I apologize to those that don't like this kind of posts. Just a short story: I owned a Note 3 Neo Duos (N7502) for some years, and I was really frustrated because there is just no development, no way to update it from kitkat. And I tried hard. I think I read every possible thread about the N3n duos here and outside. Many apps stopped working with Kitkat, and most notably MICROSOFT ONENOTE, one of the apps I use the most. Plus the battery was getting bad.
I ended up selling a bunch of used equipment last month and decided to give up and say farewell the N7502 for good so I sold it cheap.
To my surprise, two weeks later I was selling a (very) old notebook and out of nothing a buyer offered me a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 as a trade!
I gladly accepted and now I am very happy. The phone is in excellent condition, including the battery.
Now I see myself in the opposite situation. I had so little information and no ROM options for the N7502 and now I have so much and so many for the N9005 it's being very hard to decide. I've been reading the ROM threads for a week or so and I seem to have more doubts than answers.
So, I would like to count with the opinions or impressions of who has already tried some of the custom ROMS.
Thank you!
