Guyz, what is the benefit that I'll get after flashing lollipop bootloader over the kitkat one? Is there any performance improvements possible?

In general, you should not facing any improvements or differences by flashing the lollipop bootloader over the kitkat one. CMIIW
the LP bootloader should be capable of running a 64bit OS rather than a 32bit running on a KK BL.I have not checked the arch type of lollipop builds so i cannot comment on that subject.

There's no recovery for KitKat yet buddy, you'll have to downgrade to get cm. I like stock personally, but each to their own.

Based on your various posts, and your experience level, I would strongly suggest you stick with stock KK. There is a very high risk that you will have soft-brick issues and to be honest, although I like CM11, the level of support from the maintainer has dropped to zero and there are still annoying reliability issues.

I think the same goes for a lot of cm based Roms on KitKat. Buggy as hell. Daily reboots required. Cm 10 however, is gold.
Hi,
I'm currently on stock 5.0 ROM (Simple ROM) but I prefer pure Android UI. I've got two questions:
Is there any fully-working and stable 5.0 ROM?
I'm on KK bootloader and TWRP 2.8.5.1 w/ Bump. Do I have to do anything if I want to flash non-LG 5.0 ROM?
No, you just have to find a Rom and install it through TWRP by factory reseting and installing zip + Gapps.
There are many different roms for the G2, if you like stock android UI with some little improvements, you have the well-known CM12.
If you prefer having a fast and smooth phone you might want to look forward on liquidsmooth.
If you're an addict of options and customization then the BlissPop rom is for you.
And if people likes the LG's stock interface they have simple rom (who can be coupled to GravityBox in order to be enhanced... ).
All those roms are still in devellopement, but honestly they have really good performance and the updates are now just some little things/bug fixes.
You first should look on Gravity Box + xposed who just realeased a LP version, might work on simple rom and add many things.
If you still don't like the improved stock experience you have all those other roms who have their specificies.
I'm currently running BlissPop and have to say that it's really well-made, but D802 has some problems with some builds causing bootloops, so not the perfect one indeed.
Just watch other threads and fine something that you'll like, feel free to ask questions...
So you say I don't have to flash JB bootloader, right? Just flash ROM using BUMPed TWRP and that's it?

No, no, NO! With some ROMs you NEED the JB bootloader, unless stated otherwise!
I made the same mistake and ended up with vertical black lines on the screen due to overheating upon hanging boot. So, even thought the ROM says it includes a bump-ed kernel, I would be really careful with KK bootloaders.

Actually for this simple/Grola ROM you need to be on bumped recovery and KK boot loader BEFORE flashing the ROM. You can flash back and forth between cloudy 2.2 and simple ROM, but aosp Roms in general require jb bootloader
Hey guys, I'm currently on stock Lollipop because in my J500FN Marshmallow 6.0.1 has a RAM problem and it isn't smooth. I'd like to flash Resurrection Remix to try this beautiful rom; then I'd like to give a new try to Marshmallow in J500FN because samsung released a recent update for spain http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/113125/J500FNXXU1BPK3_J500FNOXA1BPK3_PHE/ and I hope this would solve RAM and smoothness problems. But I also read the topic that says it's not suggesteable to flash latest marshmallow firmware because I might not downgrade to lollipop; Do I risk flashing this last firmware? What do you think about?

An update wouldn't solve the ram or lag. It's about Touchwiz. No matter how many updates you get.
Touchwiz is fully bloated with Knox crap and other things (inside almost every apk). 95% J5 will be my last Samsung phone ever, just because Touchwiz.
Did you ever use cm12.1 by Nick? There's a huge difference between AOSP based rom and Touchwiz, both in performance/smoothness and ram usage/multitasking.
People say that CM battery drain faster. I agree, but remember this:
Touchwiz = lag, bad multitasking, more battery.
CM based rom = fast (I had 0 lag), awesome multitasking, less battery.
It's your choice which you use, but CM is definitely a winner for me.
As my next phone (when J5 will stop working), I want an phone which comes with AOSP, like Nexus or Moto. As far as I know, these phones has non-removable battery, which always worried me, but having AOSP is a big deal.

Yeah that's true, Touchwiz is very heavy, but other people said that Marshmallow in J500F doesn't have these perfomance/RAM problems and it is smooth. So, it also depends on how Samsung does optimizes it. Maybe with an update J500FN Marshmallow will become like 6.0.1 on J500F, who knows. Btw I'm flashing your RR right now. Do I risk if I then flash last firmware for J500F? Can I downgrade to Lollipop if I want?

I don't think you can flash J500F firmware on other model.
And I don't know if you can downgrade or not, neither. The 2-3 people which said that can't downgrade are J500H owners. Other people says that is fake.
If you believe or not, it's up to you. But i believe, considering that it happened on other Samsung phones even in past (Google, XDA).

I don't wanna flash a J500F firmware in my J500FN, lol. I just asked if with latest firmware for J500FN I couldn't downgrade to Lollipop again. If the problem occured only to J500H users I think that's fine, I'll flash latest marshmallow firmware then. Thanks buddy, check your PM one moment!

I'm currently on MM and on the latest firmware situation didn't change, RAM problems are still there and I flashed latest firmware of my country. I think i'll stay a bit here, when I'll downgrade I'll let you know if I'll be able to do that

Just picked up a cheap Samsung A300FU, which is running the stock Marshmallow firmware.
I believe I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP to the phone.
It is currently running the latest Marshmallow Samsung stock rom.
I'd like to flash a stable Lollipop or Marshmallow rom, but I have no idea what rom to use. I'm generally a HTC user but as this will be a second phone for me, I just needed something stable, and I can't really see any non-Touchwiz roms other than CM12.1 which has wifi issues, and cm13 which is WIP.
Is there anything stable, non-touchwiz (ie aosp type) for the A300FU that is good for a daily driver?
Thanks,
I have Listed all ROMs, with Bug list, for the A300FU in this Thread: [How to] Root, TWRP, Flash A300FU / A300Y Noob friendly guide
I guess the RR is maybe a ROM for you
Many thanks for that, I couldn't find a thread regarding Resurrection Remix for the A300FU, probably why I never realised there was such a rom.
Hi, is there any deodex available for 6.0.1 A300fu?

Maybe this is what you search [ROM][A300FU][6.0.1] [GS]Mod

Hi all,
I recently tested my S5 with LolliPop (Stock), Marshmallow (Stock) and Nougat (Custom) and downgraded to KitKat again to see which one has the best performance.
KitKat is running about 2 months smoothly and super fast.
So, I'm just curious about security. It's ok to use it?
Do you know others disadvantages?

Whatever patches were applied to that OS might be the only security you will have until you upgrade. I know one of the biggest problems for me with older OS like that is some apps are not compatible with older versions of android. I know a lot of google apps stop working at 4.2 so you should be ok.

Just curious, how much memory do you have available with KitKat?
e.g. on a 16GB S5 running 6.0.1 Marshmallow, I have 11.3GB available to apps.
Thanks.
