Why I'm asking, is because I want to get your opinion about current CM13.
I have installed latest 0710 build and so far it's working perfectly fine. There are some glitches here and there, like Youtube not reacting to play button, fingerprint scanner not reacting after some time in deep sleep mode, proximity sensor glitching out and etc. Other than that, it is a perfect daily driver, so much faster than TW MM everywhere.
I have been using it since its 1st hour ☺
great ROM, i only had an issue with the mobile data (G900F) , it was continuously getting stuck with an exclamation mark. i solved it by removing all APN setting and keeping only one.
since then, all is buttery smooth
Just installed latest 0711 build and so far it's even better, CPU performance has increased marginally, smoother overall. It's getting better.

Hi all,
Currently looking for an upgrade from my Moto G and have a specific list of requirements (long-ish battery life, cheap-ish, ideally fast charging, ideally ANT+, ideally waterproof, accurate GPS for tracking runs) which the S5 seems to meet well. Only thing I dont think I could live with is TouchWiz (and the assosciated lag I would expect it would bring with it).
My question: how is CM running on these devices with regards stability and force closes etc. Can live with a small dip in camera quality and having never had a fingerprint scanner I wont miss it but really need a rock solid, stable device. Is there a better alternative out there (am also closely considering the Zuk - but not waterproof and possibly patchy GPS - and the Moto X Play - slightly more expensive and reports of lag)?
I'm currently running CM13 on my KLTE, and it honestly seems fine.
Battery life is just under 4hrs SOT.
It charges pretty fast IMO (About an hour and a little bit with a constant 1800mA @ 4.5V)
Though was I've read in a quick Google search is that CM doesn't support ANT+ ever since the s4 branch.
Never had issues when the phone's been blessed with water, Its a pretty tight seal all around.
GPS is accurate. I usually get a fix within the first ten seconds. Mind you I use GPS Status to download AGPS info to help.
I rarely get force closes but there are the occasional soft reboots with the phone, which seems to put it in a boot-loop when it does. But that could be my configuration of Xposed and other modifications that do that.
i dont like the in-use battery life at all, deep sleep life is insanely improved on CM13 i assume due to doze, you can buy third party extra large batteries that are also a replacement for the back cover
cm-12.1-20151226-NIGHTLY-klte = quite stable, think i had only a couple minor bugs, no crashes, my baseband is a little old, i tried some gps app from fdroid during a walk & it was as if the calibration kept changing... i passed the same spot more than once, it would be too far north one time then too far southeast another time & so on, but maybe it was storing literal data points (some other apps, especially map apps i would assume they might auto align themselves to roads), crashed the camera when using opencamera too fast or switching between it & stock camera, opencamera couldnt do 60 or 120fps videos even though the option was set
cm-13.0-20160116-NIGHTLY-klte = turning flashlight off kills camera (& the flashlight tile) until reboot, i was going through menus fast or something, the status bar crashed & then soft reboot was frozen on the loading face icon, i was hoping snapdragoncamera was enabled cuz i see it in changelogs, but i still see stock camera unfortunately...
charging is quite fast, from 0 to ~80% at least (this is normal for about every device anyway)
i havent tried any other versions yet, i dont have gapps, only been web browsing in lightning browser (from fdroid), trying kernel adiutor, notepad, little bit of camera, i dont have a SIM card yet, hope it works fine...
i believe i saw a modified TW rom that keeps the TW framework, but visually tries to be AOSP, the purpose of course is to be able to use the samsung camera & some of the other proprietary apps/features
My build is a KLTEusc smg900r4, with cm13, on first boot I had issues with the access points to the mobile network, but after I input one access point it found the rest on its own, only other issue is when sending long text messages it doesn't go through from some reason, overall very proud of it, much better than touchwiz
FXP AOSP Website
AOSP_M_161203_satsuki.zip is the build/ROM i tested
Working:
Camera - Semi buggy, upside down.
Wifi - Rather solid. Offered up 200Mbps on a speedtest
Bluetooth - Added wireless earbuds and they sounded crystal clear
Finger Print reader - Working (setup and tested 100%)
Battery life was pretty good during the time i was testing it. It only dropped 5% for the 2 hours i tested it.
I would call this one 90% ready for prime time. Once they settle a couple more issues with the camera it should be good to go!
I flashed This Camera Mod and it seems to fix most of the camera issues while adding features. There is still some inconsistency with it launching but it was mostly good to go. All the images looked clear and the camera was 90% responsive to everything.
This post is 100% informational so others know about their builds. I am in no way part of this group in any way!
I confirmed this running in E6883. I think there are some problems on boot.img, since I cannot see any boot screen. Other than that, the phone boots up well w/ GApps.
SD Card is NOT supported.
Fingerprint sensor seldomly works. I had very hard time getting the sensor to recognize my fingerprints.
I had no issues with camera based on the given stock camera app. Quality is terrible but I had no orientation, discoloring problems.
Mobile data is random. Sometimes I get LTE, sometimes I stay at HSPA, sometimes I get no mobile data. Phone call works great though.
I can confirm there are no problems with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
If anyone can post a link with working boot/kernel as well as TWRP that works with this ROM, that would be great.
I flashed the V9 from from jrkruse To my Straight talk S5 (SM-S902L) and everything seems to work, some apps stutter really bad but overall it's ok. But i noticed every time i disable wifi and re-enable it the phone asks for wifi password again. And the phone feels overall sluggish sometimes. Any way i can solve these two problems? The reason i want to keep it is because the battery life is amazing. in standby i get 4+ days and a solid 12 hours of heavy use. If i could solve the random stuttering and password glitch it would be perfect.
I have been switching between different ROMs in the past four months, I'm now a long time redmi 3 user since I have mine since it came out in 2015, even though is smashed a lot I have no plans for a new phone at this time LOL
Let's go to the point
Resurrection Remix 5.8.5
A nice ROM, everything works right after installing and is pretty smooth, in terms of customization this one has everything you can imagine and you can't too
what did I like
The posibilities of tweaking the status bar, plus it gives your phone a longer life span in terms of software, as it will get longer support.
Doze mode
What I did not like
UI Lagging/stuttering eventually, when using chrome and typing something in a webpage is such a nightmare (this happens always), as the text takes up to 5 seconds to appear
CPU Sleeping bugs sometimes, soemtimes it takes a longer time to wake the processor, causing an unbearable lag, is eventually fixed by locking and unlocking the screen again. and sometimes i have to force reboot
Bluetooth battery barely shows on random devices, and is not accurate
Lockscreen (I like AOSP a lot, but the lockscreen replacing your wallpaper when music is playing is just ridiculous)
Camera lacks some image quality
MIUI 8.1.1.0 by Xiaomi.eu
The ROM I probably will keep using for a really long time, has no rival in terms of smoothness, and offers longer battery time no matter what you use it for, and what is better, without letting you down on performance. Even is on Lollipop, this one keeps pleasing me
What I Like
Performance, the UI is smooth and launcher never lags
Battery life, I'm a heavy user and this by far lasts longer than any other, is obvious at this was specially designed for the chip it runs on
Integrated Clean Master/CM Security/Whatever it is
Themes, endless personalization out-of-the-box
specific Xposed Framework for MIUI (by @SolarWarez) newer versions have always conflicted with themes and modules
XMIUI by the same developer, no words needed, is the GravityBox for MIUI plus extra functionality
Lockscreen, I like the album art over the screen, not as background and the player as notification
Hidden CPU power mode selection (Use QuiclShortcutMaker to access it, removed on newer versions above 8.1.1.0)
What I did not like
I'm using a non OEM replacement display and very often I have to force-reboot (in RR it bugs but at least I can get to the reboot option and reboot safely)
Could be Marshmallow at least
Some weird bugs when using Magisk (I use system root as I don't give a damn about SafetyNet)
After dalvik cleaning some apps have a "rough start"
I remember having the best battery life (with the screen off) with RR-UNTEST, but eventually I gave up and budged myself back over to MIUI 9. There's honestly not much reason to use MIUI 8 outside of being able to use xMIUI, but if you're fine without what it brings then honestly the xiaomi.eu rom is pretty much the best one to go for. This phone is essentially good as dead now, unfortunately. If I remember correctly, Xiaomi have announced that it's not going to be receiving a major version upgrade (i.e. no MIUI 10) and because of it running on Lollipop, it's stuck on the January 2017 security patches. Custom ROM development has largely stopped completely, save for the build bots that are still chugging away (see: LineageOS 14, AOKP and Mokee) and a stable version of LOS 15 that doesn't haemorrhage battery extremely quickly hasn't come despite the long wait. There's no reason to not stick with standard MIUI 9 now and to be honest, soon as I've saved up enough, I'm going to be jumping ship to a different phone.
In my case, best for R3 is MIUI 9.5 from MIUI.eu. Great, great battery life and all work like a charm. There is no any single lag/bug on my phone.
Tried many custom roms, but always back to MIUI.eu.
I got little worm in my ass and want to try RR 5.8.5 with chtholly kernel and AOKP with same kernel and GovTuner...but I know that will be back to MIUI.eu
Has anyone experienced any issues on the 9.0.6 update?
I've noticed slowness on the accuracy of face unlock and fingerprint compared to 9.0.5
I've also noticed some lag in speed and apps just randomly closing, not crashing, just closing.
Anyone else experienced these or other issues? Post and these will be shared with OnePlus for review.
Nova Launcher crashes randomly like 1-3 times a day.
Higher idle drain in comparison to 9.0.5.
Rest everything seems normal to me on 9.0.6.
I have had some apps just close. Also get freezing with Nova launcher at times. I cleaned the cache for all apps in TB and that seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Absolutely no problems here.
No Issues with Nova and battery runtime
No issues with performance or anything compared to 9.0.5
SOT for me is lower and idle drain is definitely worse for me and a number of others, with regards to performance it's around the same
Has been behaving like 9.0.5 here.
Troubles with Bluetooth headset / car. I think it's when i have switched from one to another (Car - Headset and vise versa), then you are able ho hear the calling part, but the opposite part are not able to hear you. If you reboot the phone, the bluetooth will work again until next time you change bluetooth device.
The use of Dual-Sim on Android Auto are still impossible. You can't even, if you make a call from Android Auto, make the choice on the phone, like you were able to in previous versions (OnePlus 2)
Absolutely no issues here.
Don't know if it's 9.0.6 related, but fingerprint reader unlock appears to be a bit quicker from the actual lock screen rather than the ambient display... Also oddly at times my ambient display will be missing the fingerprint icon (which actually I kind of like, lol) ... no also nothing is covering proximity sensor, I just place my finger where the icon should be and it lights up green still and unlocks like normal. Another issue related to unlocking seems that going from ambient to home screen [via fingerprint] is glitchy while going from lock screen to home screen is much smoother [via fingerprint]... Other problems I've noticed are relative to the force closes you guys have mentioned and I can't recall having similar issues 9.0.5...I was even wondering about a the possibility of downgrading just for the sake of running comparisons.
-I get "ghost notifications" sometimes. Mostly from Download Manager, something I downloaded days ago. Can still show up from time to time on Ambient Display but it's always gone when I turn on the screen again. Yesterday it was the same from Play Store though.
-I get too much stuttering in animations for my liking. Phone needs optimization. I'm not even a heavy user. Not close to it. Still it stutters from time to time and sometimes heavily like 10-20fps.
-Tap to wake is a little bit unreliable at times and wont work the first try.
