Roms that work with our phone

Are there any other roms other than echo and tek that work with our model?

No, you could just install root and stay stock. Debloat and install viper and exposed but after a few weeks the phone starts to slow almost to an unbearable point. That's all we have and it doesn't look like we'll be getting more as that locked bootloader is here to stay.

I couldn't take it so i went back to stock and just rooted my note 5 as i like switching up once and a while. Running note 7 port now from crisscross, beautiful. In a few days I'll go to teks new one. Note 5 still awesome.

so your suggesting to not flash one of the roms. I'm experiencing the slowness right now and I just flashed tek a few days ago.

Did you make the changes to the kernel settings recommended all over the root threads ? have been using it and now Echoe for two months and have close to stock performance and stability with the engineer kernel .

Yes I did and it just kept getting slower. I tried both roms. I'm on stock rooted with xposed installed and it's quick. I haven't installed any xposed modules yet though so we will see.

Marhsmallow update very slow J500FN

It's incredible, J500FN variants users waited a lot of months for a MM update that is very slow. The ram managament is awful (always 50+%) and it isn't smooth. The animations and the features are amazing, but it doesn't seem an official update. I can keep open like one app at time! If i open 2 apps together it crashes. Is this my impression or do you agree with me?

I already got back to Lollipop, but I really like Marshmallow. Let's hope Samsung will release an optimized update with a better ram management! Can anyone tell us here when a new firmware update will be out?

i waiting for CM 13 from nick verse

I'm also finding mm slow and CM13 ain't finished yet (no in call audio )

Yeah, but I love stock battery life. I never liked CM battery life in general. But i'm sure Nick will do a great work as always!

If I go back to CM12.1 will I have to reflash 5.1 via Odin ?

If you're on MM I suggest you to go back to 5.1.1 lollipop stock firmware and then flash cm 12.1

Thanks. Yes i have now done that and am running Resurrection remix 12.1. Is the rom that I was running before and is excellent. Every thing works really well I'm gong to wait for CM13 to catch up before upgrading.

I really got caught up in having to have to most upto date rom but there really is no need. Stick to 5.1 lollypop until the developers catch up

I didn't have the time to flash the rom because I'm waiting for a Kernel for 6.0 by Dj_steve, with it I hope performance for android MM will improve! Also i play a lot Pokemon Go and if I go with RR that is pre-rooted I can't play it (Pokemon go doesnt allow you to play if you have root). But I'll try it soon!

Cool, it's worth saving and try it some time. It's a good ROM and I ain't seen it anywhere else. What is i need to do to be able to post on other forums ?

There's a minimum post you have to do in light sections like Question and answer, accessories, themes and apps before being able to post in development section. I guess you have to reply in different posts, not always the same. Follow the community and enjoy

Your welcome mate. Have you tried it ?

Noob question - please help

Hi folks,
So my mother has a I9505 galaxy s4 (italian) and I want to install a custom recovery and rom for her to hrlp the device be more functional and fast. Can you please suggest which rom I should choose and what steps I should follow to install the recovery etc..
Thanks!

You can flash twrp from Odin and then you can use twrp to flash custom ROMs.
If you want a very stable ROM, you should stock with these stock ROM or custom ROMs that are as close to stock as possible.

That simple? TWRP and then the custom ROM of choice? Which ROM do you recommend for daily usage which is fast and possibly based off Android 6 or 7?

Are you familiar with Odin? Is the s4 already rooted? (Towel root worked for me) and that is done directly from the s4. As far as ROMs go I have tried almost all of them and ultimately I really enjoyed the tipsy ROM but it runs on kit kat.. Google just recently released Google assistant for all devices running 5.0 and up. So I went to CM 12 running 5.1.1 and it runs pretty smoothly. The most important thing to remember to always always always back up your device..ALWAYS LOL.
And when I first started to dabble in rooting I had the T-Mobile Galaxy S.. The first one that came with Avatar lol.. I'll just say this.. As long as it turns on and u can enter either recovery or download mode you can pretty much recover from and mistake.. Pretty much.
XDA has a great first start section for rooting. And most of the developers are very good at explaining the step by step.
I recommend getting very familiar with your recovery since that will be your primary source of flashing.. Because u can't just flash one! Lol once u get your first successful flash Ro a new custom ROM its like sex.. Gotta see what else u can flash to the device ( for example lucky patcher) and then you will start learning that the developers have some really cool stuff out there..
And CM does nightly ROMs meaning its constantly being updated!
Just do your research first if u don't know ask( obviously lol) Google Google Google lol and ALWAYS ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DEV.
Titanium Backup in NY opinion is the best.. Hope I didn't get to off topic and I hope I helped.. If u have any other questions I will do NY beat to help and answer them.
PAY IT FORWARD AND HELP THE NEXT GUY/GIRL..

Lineages OS is 7.1 but beware of ROMs that new for devices that old. In the beginning they are extremely buggy..

Did you wipe system and data partitions?

Yes

What's the ROM you're trying to flash?

Im trying to flash J5 Rom

For core prime

Withdrawn

But its a ported rom look at core prime themes and apps section. IM NOT STUPID MY DEAR FRIEND.

If it's a ROM then shouldn't it be in the ROM kernel development ? I'll check it btw. And sry for before
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------
It looks like that ROM isn't properly PORTED because as far as I'm concerned our best devs are stuck at porting Samsung Kernels to our device because we only have Kitkat kernel and a CM tree. So lets wait a bit and see what happens. Till then don't try to flash it again

Oh okay, no problem. Thanks for helping me.

Alexis rom or Hades rom for S8?

Hey guys. I would appreciate your opinion about this.
I was using Hades rom for 2 years on my A5 2017 and I was very satisfied with it.
But lately I am reading a lot about Alexis rom.
I am buying S8 tomorrow so I am not sure which rom I should use..
I don't want to spend all day switching between Hades and Alexis, so I would appreciate your opinion about this.
Stability and fancy features are most important to me.
Samsung Health also very important.
What rom should I choose?
Thanks to all and have a great day

Alexis ROM was always one of the best ROMs for S8 IMO. Fast, smooth, stable and excellent battery life. If I was to get my S8 back Alexis ROM would be the first one I would flash.
As for Samsung health you can get that to work on any ROM, just use terminal app and type in
su
ro.config.tima=0
Have a nice day

Thanks a lot! I never used Alexis, but I guess there is a first time for everything.
I think I'll try both roms and see what's better for me.
