Root - Custom Rom - Kernel -Gear VR Lag Issue

Hi all! First of Thanks all devs for all of your work (never got oppertunity to give thx)! Have been downloading custom rom's from here since S4^^. (I hope I'm in the right forum sub group)
My goal has been to be able to use a custom rom with viper mod, and root to be working with the gear vr without the lag issue.
Ok, so I have been trying different custom rom/kernel mixes for a while now only flashed stuff from my variant (928F) Forum threads. But I have allways have to reflash pure stock to get the Gear VR working without the lag.
I've tried to mix Skyhigh kernel with CRISSCROSS ROM V1.4 [928F/C/G/I][5.1.1][11.12.15][XXU2AOKB][Aroma], Deodexed STOCK ROM 928 F-I-C-L-K-S-G Edge+ [AOK4][3/12/15].
Audax Rom with Audax Kernel and also just rooted stock. Obviously i have been googling, and almost everywhere I didnt find a solution for it.
But in this thread it is stated that the [KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel | TouchWiz | Auto-Root + Busybox | 11.18.2015 for the T variant and that it is also working for the 928F variant (awesome!!!). However to the question: While on the 928F variant what custom-roms can I use with the Modified kernel by jovy23 (928t) ? Will it be custom roms from the 928F forums or the custom roms from the 928T forums *confused* ? What particular custom roms running smooth and working can anyone recommend one or a few ?
answers would be nice and many thx to this forum and its devs!

I think it is early in the game ...might change tomorrow. And thank you to the devs and Merry Christmas.

Man, i wish i saw this thread before flashed to a custom rom,
nobody mentions the lag issue! (not on reddit or oculus forum)...
hopefully you can resolve this problem, but back to stock for me.

Hey! I got it to work on my 928F
Root, Viper Audio and Gear VR (without lag)
1st I flashed arter97-recovery (through ODIN)
2nd I flashed Kos Rom v3.0 RC4 by kossiewossie in recovery (F Variant)
3rd I flashed [KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel by jovy23 (T Variant)
..I did full wipe, davik, cache (I dont know if it was necessary)
Now it run flawless, Root, Viper Audio working and Gear VR without the lag
Merry Christmas and A Happy new year XDA :victory:

Thank you thank you thank you.. That did it for me. I was going crazy on this. Tried everything. I almost gave up on it.
But I did exactly what you did and it works like a charm.
Getting rid of the motion sickness now ?
Happy Holidays everybody. Best Christmas present ever

Can confirm that Criss Cross Rom by asc1977 works too. Only thing is that you have to flash Gear VR zip seperatly through recovery. :good:
Probarly as stated in another thread here on XDA the Gear VR "App" lag is a kernel issue. I think since the Modified Kernel by jovy23 is close to stock it works. So maybe all Custom Rom(928F) will work with Gear VR if you flash jovy23's kernel.
Awesome Work Devs for flashaholics like me xD

That is true.
I had Kos Rom v3.0 RC8 with Sky kernel and the Gear VR was terrible. (except for the Google cardboard apps)
I removed the Sky kernel App (SYNAPSE) and flashed the "[KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel" over the Sky kernel in TWRP. (no wipe of anything)
Now it works like a charm.
Thanks!

Does it works for a S6 edge plus?
Have a doubt guys if I do the same will it work for me?
its a s6 edge plus model: SM-G928A

I need help! CM or TW?!

I'm giving my S4 I9505 to a 5 year old cousin and i need help!
If i give him my phone in this software condition he will get an S4 running CM13,
TWRP 2.8.7.0,XPOSED Framework and 2,3 modules. I dont want him to mess with that so I am thinking about:STOCK, UNROOTED TW 5.0.1 OR CM13 ROOT DISABLED AND CYANOGEN RECOVERY JUST FOR UPDATING.
P.S WE WILL SWAP PHONES HE WILL GIVE ME AN S6 EDGE AND I GIVE HIM THIS.

Stock and unrooted is the best

I also think stock and unrooted.
You never know what CM's updates might break. Thus giving more trouble in the long-run.
Since he is 5 years old I doubt he cares about the newest android version and latest features.

OK thanks!
I change roms on mine every 2 days and it is my daily driver now on CM13 nightly and want nice TW rom
I get bored of AOSP and CM

Custom Rom Install Issues on Sprint Note 3 (SM-N900P)

OK< this is the issue I am having with the phone, which is a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P (Sprint). I originally rootted it about 2 and a hal years ago, and I THINK, not absolutely sure, but think I used KingoRoot when I did, only because no matter what I couldnt get it to root otherwise. I originally installed slimkat, then in January 2016 I installed Resurrection Remix 5.1 . The phone runs great, but the rub is, it wont let me install ANY other ROMs, olde or newer. Also, when I rooted it, I had to use Flashify to install the Recovery while I was still on the original Samsung ROM. That version is 3.0.2-0. All the other info I can think of that may help anyone who is willing to give me an idea is listed below.
I would REALLY like to try a NOTE 7 rom, seems they are really really good from what I have read, or at least RR 6.0
Build Number Resurrection Remix Lollipop 5.1.1-f26-LMY48Y
Sprint Note 3 (SM-N900P) Running Resurrection Remix LP v5.5.9, rooted,
Kernal version 3.4.0-g7db381d

Baseband Version

ANY help would be fantastically appreciated, have been a big fan of this site since WAY back (AT&T Pocket PC PHONE and Samsung BlackJack years.)
Thanks in advance.

I would also ask in the SPRINT forum .

I would risk it and factory wipe, install stock ROM and try to root using the newest methods available and proceed to flash a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.7 recommended) since it appears to be the most compatible with the newer ROMs
Your choice though

That was the best idea. I did a factory wipe, didnt install a stock rom, and as you suggested flashed TWRP 2.8.7, and now works just fine, hell it even fixed some other issues I had been having. Thanks, much appreciated.

Samsung s5 G900F not booting after MIUI 7 install

Hi everybody,
I am new to the forum and new also to modifying android phones. I have a G900F and I wanted to try a few custom ROMs. I first installed Lineage 14.1 and everything went pretty smooth. After I wanted to try the official S5 MIUI7 v6.5.27 which I downloaded from the MIUI website. I wiped everything I could and installed the zip file with TWRP. There was no progress bar but it seemed to perform tasks. When finished, I rebooted but the phone is stuck on the Samsung logo without any progress. I tried many times and I always had the same issue. Could you please help me out with this? What can I do to fix the install issue? My phone is now working (installed the Super Lite by Vincom) but I would like to give MIUI a try. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Miui 7 is based on android lollipop so you gotta flash lollipop bootloader and modem in order to get it working.
I would like to suggest you MIUI 8 by blackbuga, you can find the thread on Galaxy s5 development (snapdragon).

Thanks! That was a quick reply!
I imagined that there was some issue of this kind. I was driven to v7 for its being an official release and stable. I saw that blackbuga's is beta and thought it was unstable. Well actually I wasn't relying on my skills, as I said I have been playing around with rom's for a week or so.
I'll give that a try

galaxy note 4 with twrp 3.0.2-0, how to go to latest stock rooted?

i have a verizon galaxy note 4 i haven't used in ages that i need to start using again and i wanted to go to stock rooted and clean up some bloat. what is a good way to do this?
thanks!

some more details
The phone is currently running EmotionOS 7.1.1 and 2CPL1

i decided to stay with custom roms:
upped to twrp 3.2.1, wiped memory, odin to CQL1, twrp installed RR and open gapps.
anyone know a rom that has working miracast to windows 10 or any OS?

I have been test LOS 14.1 and it works okay but a little unstable. Seems like the best I can get on this phone will be as close to stock as possible. I had it working well enough but I wanted to root the device.
So I would like to know what combination of bootloader and firmware/Rom will give me
unlocked bootloader
Twrp
Stock MM
Root
Best cell performance
Thanks in advance
