Please suggest me a stable TW ROM to be the daily driver of my dad's G900F.
I would definitely recommend small wiz v8. Very little bugs, and you get s7 edge features as well. As far as a I know, always on display and blue light filter does not work. The seems features are very hard to fix in these types of roms anyways.
I recommend xXx No Limits Rom.. It's one of the best Stock based roms out there for our device.. Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-xxx-limits-1-1-stable-smooth-fast-t3304941
I recommend reading the OP thoroughly before flashing anything

Hello guys,
I'm acutally running the X-Note build 20 stuck on Android 4.4.2
I have some problems to recognize a good rom for me so I'm here asking for suggestions. I don't need anything customized. If you could indicate a CLEAN stock rom that could let me be updated with the lastest android versions, I would be really thankful.
Thanks in advance

I am looking for a stable nexus like ROM for note 3, I am thinking of getting the next nexus device and want to try and sample the experience for the next few months. Any suggestions as to which ROM will suit me best. I am looking for something stable and reliable?
There is far too many options available now.
Should I go for something like omega ROM? I don't normally flash ROMs but I am sure I will figure it all out.
AOSP Roms
Your should forget Samsung TW crapware and flash an AOSP Rom.
Try Slim if you want lean and stable or Euphoria to remain stable and have more customization options.

[ROM][AOSP 5.1.1] Euphoria-OS [2015/May/28] [Unofficial]
Happy flashing...
Many thanks for your reply, I think I will give slim a try.

i suggest cm based roms, bigger choice and more community support through shear numbers LOL
perhpas i have t add that i tried almost any rom on 7 devices. nevertheless slim is one of the very best roms around, well maintained. i just need a few more features and xposed is not yet stable enough for me and app settings does not yet work.
Slim used to be my Rom of choice until these last months when we can't have neither visibility nor understanding on what is happening in/to the team.
And I have switched from the Galaxy "S" series to "Note" series, so although I'm very fond of AOSP, it's hard to find an AOSP rom with the native TW features, mainly S-Pen features that I used quite a lot.
I've tried Aryamod and found it nice. My daily driver so far.

#my2cents
I use the multi-window feature a lot so I kept returning to touchwiz roms.
better battery life and better s pen support is also a plus.
currently the best rom in my opinion is aryamod 5.3, but you can wait until 5.4 comes out.
the most important thing is to go to the OTA app that comes with the rom and flash the "no 3minit battery" zip, which will return your battery icon to default instead of the retarded 3minit one.
good luck
Hi All,
I have had my Galaxy S 4 (I9505) for a while now but it is still running android 4.3.
I was hoping to update it to 5.0.1 but when I plugged it into my PC, Kies said 'This device is unsupported'
I want to flash a new rom onto it (I have done this in the past with a samsung tablet)
I was just wanting some feedback as to what is regarded as a good rom for it these days. Should I go a standard stock rom from sammobile or are there custom roms out there that perform better?
Thanks for any help and advice.
Daniel
Custom roms give you more performance. Stock roms tend to lag here and there, from what I saw in rom reviews.
If you want a minimalist rom, go for CM12 or Slim roms. They have very few features.
If you want lots of features, go for AICP or Resurrection Remix. These two combine the most popular features from other roms (I personally use Resurrection Remix).
And there are the GPE roms. I don't know how GPE 5.1 is, but on 5.0 the rom was rock solid and everything worked.
I can't say anythinv about stock touchwiz because, since I changed I never went back

Try a custom S6 Touchwiz ROM for your phone model - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the new look, feel and performance. I know I am!
I tried CM but not such a big fan... Experiment a bit until you find what you were ALWAYS looking for!
You try to consider CM 12.1 or GPE Roms. The major disadvantage is the camera quality and some multitasking features on TW, but it's hella fast and smooth.

Roms
I would recommend Cyanogenmod but sometimes it comes with some problems. Check out first which is the stable version for s4.
Also, I would recommend the WickedRom which is great and great performance. And the WanamLite Rom is amazing if you would like to tune your mobile , for example gpu or cpu in higher frequencies or even set custom gestures and etc.( but remember to be careful with those why you might break your phone

it's like you have already a custom rom, or a rooted & modified stock rom !.

go for Resurrection Remix like said: GDReaper, or may be BlissPOP ( with terrible battery drain for me).
I tried just the straight CM 12 rom and it was okay, but once I put on the one of the Optimized CM 12.1 roms I got better battery life and faster performance, but also lost a few features, got a few bugs, but so far so good. It really depends what you want.
If you are willing to have a few crashes, bugs you can put on the newest rom builds, but if you want stable, then going for the older well established ones may be a better option.

I have to correct you here buddy It's almost always better to pick the latest CM build. Because it's a work in progress, every new build has a lot fixes.
I'm curious though to what bugs you are referring to. I used it pretty long and I found it almost to be bugfree. Besides the obvious difficulty's with bluetooth.

Hey Lenny, the official CM builds I have never had an issue with (except nightlies of course) however when we get into the custom ROM world such as Slimroms, modified CM builds etc I do tend to hit a few bugs, such as crashes of apps, however often those builds then become stable.
Hope that makes more sense?
The only good advice is to just use stock roms. It's stable, no bugs, no issues. The only thing that pisses you off is the laggggggg!
I am tired of stock rom
Can anyone suggest the best rom available
Phone will be used as daily driver(snapchat also)
Stock ,CM,RR any rom.
Sorry for bad english.
Thankyou
The two roms I liked the most were
Power Of Debloat Octanote Version A because it is so lightweight and has less bloat. Plus most of the system ui and apps are Note 5 or Galaxy S7 themed. Its pretty neat
Also FirstFlight 5.5 Note 7 themed is also pretty amazing. It goes even deeper and has Note 7 themed system UI and everything. The only problem I have with this rom is that battery life takes a huge hit. Power of Debloat is nice on the battery. Try these two and tell me what you think. Be sure to take Nandroid backups in your custom recovery and follow all steps posted by respective developers on flashing each rom. Be sure to only install the rom for your device. Galaxy S4 i9500. I made that mistake by flashing a rom not meant for my phone and it bricked.
Please note that I haven't use RR on my S4 but I have used it on many others and would recommend and try it too. Tell me how it all went.
Ale95 Note5 Port is the best ROM for me
Because I have been tested many ROM like CM, GearCM, RR, and other
This ROM have a good battery life, and my device not overheating again
Trust Me Bro :good:

I know..I used ROM and it was the best ..but snapchat was not working on that ROM and I am a heavy user of snapchat..
Prism barebone v16 from last year (Not v17, v16). If you are not so interested in note5 or s7 themed apps, this is for you. It is discontinued but with the highest performance and best battery life among stock-based ROMs.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537515
I always have some bugs in other stock-based ROMs. For example, I found Octanote a little too debloated that some apps crash all the time such as Calculator. Other bloated ROMs have very mediocre battery life, I think all those themes and unnecessary Note apps like Air Command, SNote cause unnecessary drain.
CM based ROMs (Alberto 6.0.1) have better performance than any stock-based ROMs but it has some bugs that cannot be solved (Exynos sources are not accessible for free developers.), such as in-call echo (Other side hears his/her own voice.) and (sometimes) camera crash.
I usually end myself on stock-based ROMs that debloated and rooted for battery life. However, if you're power user who prefers performance boots, GearCM and RR would be your choice.

hi,coming after a long time on xda so have no clue about development of galaxy s5
would be helpful if u guys helped me pick the best custom rom for s5 (stock based preferred)
doesnt matter if v6.0 or v7.0 the main thing is it should be stable with minimal bugs
need touchwiz based because i like the new look and feel of touchwiz ui of white bg and blur effect
thanks in advance
Skies ROM is the only one I have found to be stable. All of the others I have tried (Darklord, Smallwiz, Nemesis, etc.) have too many bugs for me to consider for a daily driver.
If you want stock, why not just root the official Samsung firmware? It's pretty much the only way to do it if you want working fingerprint.
I think Thunderbolt v5, skies ux and samyux a7. You can use these.
I personally recommend Thunderbolt v5. I installed it on my sister's phone and was very pleased. She did not report any problems
Since The Galaxy Project is EOL it's time to change to another ROM.
But there are way to many options! :crying:
Please help out a semi-noob what ROM to choose instead.
I'm don't have time to try multiple ROMs. I just want the best one out there!
So.. what's the best ROM? :victory:
Doesn't matter if it's Samsung, AOSP, etc, based.
Main requirements:
Great camera performance
Stable and buttery smooth
PWM fix available

Another lite rom

another good rom with lots of tweaks...
if you use mtweak app you will be able to enable pwm fix in almost every rom if kernel support it i guess.
Choose any. try look the opening of the thread for information about rom and at their recent comments and decide.
Everybody tried their best to make the rom best. so all are best but choice is yours..
Deluxe rom, black diamond rom, hyper rom.
Basically any pie rom for its speed and ui upgrade..
