[DISCUSSION] S6 Custom ROMs scene - which do you prefer and why? - Galaxy S6 General

So, let me start - basically since I bought my G920F I have used XtreStoLite (now combined with arter97 kernel) since I had both Nexus 4 and 5 so I'm kinda used to lightweight and responsive UX. Straight out of the box, the S6 felt like a disaster.

I prefer XtreStoLite as well with minimal samsung apps installed.

Back to not3... Best rom yet..... It is 5.1.1 but has better battery than any 6.0.1 rom I tried.

I am in xtestolite 3.2 version because of the outdoor brightness problem in 3.3.1 and I m using the 3.3.1 aroma. I m using stock XtreStoLite kernel its the best one. Best battery -performance - low temperatures for XtreStoLite. For launcher I m using the Google now one and for android N like notifications i m using the N-ify from xposed (take care disable status bar header from N-ify)

Always used xtrestolite + arter kernel, but since rom it's discontinued I'm now using CaS rom + arter kernel.
Rom is odex, debloated, very fluid and combined with some grace apps (odexed with lucky patcher in a second time) is perfect.

Is CaS exactly as fast and light as XtreSto? I might give it a try then.

Maybe not exactly the same, but with HEBF (from play store) and some build prop tweaks is perfect for me; when I switched from xtrestolite to CaS I felt like having the same rom :good:

Yeah I know the ROM, but why do you consider it to be the best out there?

I'm also looking for stable, clean ROM with good battery and without bugs, but I don't know which one to choose.

Stock Rom with @Sev3n kernel. Battery life's pretty good! Try it yourself
And don't forget to use Greenify, Amplify and modify the kernel with the Best settings (you can found them on a thread that I started about the most battery friendly kernel for stock ROM).

The latest version, of course.
Resurrection renix 2.1 is best. Or stockmod with seven kernel. No other
motion rom 17
Ita depent of your needs. Simply I prefer clean experience and rich ways to customize my rom, debugging and battery life -> so my choise is cm11 plus cm11 kernel. Cm 12.1 is pretty good, but with renix kernel. Just read all pages from your rom choise and make a decision.

wich is most stable i9505 rom ?

Hello i want to know wich is the most stable aosp or tw rom for i9505 and wich is balanced betwen best battery life and performance i don t play heavy games i mostly surf on internet or listen to youtube ... my modem is XXXUHOJ2
Stock will give you best battery life. I used Albe95 Lollirom, it's based on stock ROM, and you can try Imperium ROM also (Imperium ROM is best deal if you want performance and battery life). AOSP or CM ROMs are not very good at battery life, but they are faster (no crap apps and samsung bloatware). I'm currently on CM13 Stable3 by JDC Team, and i can tell you stock ROM has 1 hour more SOT (Screen-on Time) than cm13.
Stock based rom are most stable. I recommend Able Lolirom 9 - no problem with anything + Imperium kernel 4.5 or newer if relesed. Second good room is Imperium - but you can experience little problems in last version.
Before I install any room I always unzip it on windows and manualy debloat from apps I dont use or replace it to any app (must change name to apk from rom).
I will try albe lolirom 9 and inperium 4.5 since i can't update modem to install imperium v 15 can someone give me some stweaks for battery life and still that the phone to work good ?
You may also the latest Kushan ROM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/touchwiz-lollipop-leaked-rom-i9505-t3027063. I can say that the ROM have better battery and performance as I'm currently running it on my S4-i9505(we have the same modem).
I love the new version of Imperium (v15) but having issues on cellular coverage even before/after installing the latest modem and bootloader. You may try it out and see if the ROM will work fine for you.

smooth and fast in nexus 6p

Wich ROM, mod, kernel or combination of two of them give me the best experience in android?? I m looking for an Android system fast, smooth and best battery life. Thanks to all
If something was the best, nothing else would be used as there's no point in using something that's inferior when you can get something better.
There is no best, I suggest you read each thread and pick one that suits your needs. Saying X ROM and kernel is the best is like saying a specific vehicle is the best...One may say a Ferrari and another may say an F-350. But who's right?
Some people like roms and kernels bloated with 1000 customization options filled with placebo "optimization and enhancements". Others prefer a clean, minimal ROM without all the useless bling that they'll never use.
P.S. there's probably 10 threads like these, and possibly 11 by next week that you could've read through. I'll just copy and paste this same post on the next one.

Currently using PureNexus nougat with ElementalX kernel. The experience is pretty good.
Using the phone for SMS/MMS, YouTube and web browsing. I can get ~ 5/6h sot with a full charge on WiFi and ~ 3h30 sot on 3g/LTE which is enough for me.
Also using custom CPU governor profile in EXKernel Manager helped me with battery life without affecting performance (at least not that I noticed). You can find more infos here:

F2FS + Dark ROM + FLASH kernel ! That's the best combination and I am a serial flasher
These people that are saying there isn't a best ROM, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this. There most certainly is a best ROM kernel combination. Otherwise all these ROMs and kernels would be exactly the same right? Sorry to say, some are better than others. This is just a fact.
If you want speed, smoothness, glass, breakneck speeds, great battery life, there really is one only choice.
Uber rom by Chad and faster kernel by Chad.
Why?
On f2fs, (trust me, you want f2fs) I have yet to find kernel or ROM combination that beats this.
Its the only rom that's built with GCC 6.3.1, and the only rom built with clang 3.9.1. Coupled with f2fs, this rom FLIES.
I have flashed every single ROM on this forum and then some, and I'm telling you this is the best combination you can possibly hope for:

Uber rom by Chad I definitely agree is the best. I tried using his faster angler but it caused problems with mods like viper4arise so I am sticking with flash kernel. Uber by Chad is definitely the best rom though and I have tried so many roms like pure nexus, resurrection remix, dirty unicorns, sixRom, lineage, cyanogenmod, nitrogen, Cortex and so many more.
Is the stock camera working on either Uber or Dark ROM with f2fs file system?
Thanks
There's no such thing as a best rom fact, but only best rom opinions, which isn't a good idea to ever discuss here. [emoji14]
As for battery, that all depends on you as a user to manager your battery life your way. I get 4+ SOT easily and I listen to a lot of music and text a lot.
As for what I'm using, I'm running ABC Rom with franco.kernel, root, and V4A. ?

I basically just wiped cache and dalvik/art cache and flashed the rom and kernel and all my mods. I also made sure to do stuff like rename audio effects and everything I did to make it work with flash. I use stable 2.4 deutronomy aroma installer. I was talking to someone else on this rom and kernel and he said he had the same problem too so it might be hit and miss or maybe you flashed it different than us. Please tell.me what you did to get it to work. Thanks
What partitions do you guys convert to f2s besides cache? Data as well? Everything else remains ext4?
Running stock has been great for me lately. Downgraded to 6.0.1 running Xposed for pixel mods. Amplify and greenify. With exkernel has been a great experience so far. Near 7h SOT yesterday. Will be going back to 7.1.1 soon, as the February update is out.. I heard lineage OS has good battery life. Will be trying that out soon in a few days.
Read the threads on XDA and good luck!!:good:

Stock sammy ROM gives the best battery life and performance in games. However, stock ROM may experience slowdowns over time which may be resolved with a clean flash. If you want AOSP, Resurrection Remix is a good choice, but you will have to sacrifice some in-game performance and camera quality.
As for which kernel, it is generally best to stay on the included kernel unless you absolutely need features like fast USB charge and sound modifications.

Other than nolimits, the ROMs you've mentioned are quite dated. For official stock ROM, download the unbranded firmware from sammobile or from updato. Samsung has stopped updating their firmware so it is highly likely that ROMs based on stock will be discontinued as well.

Just wanted to know.
[S5 SM-G900F]
Which roms are the most stable?
Also which roms offer the most performance or battery life?
What kernels should i use for mm or n?
So far i tried SkiesROM UX v3.1. Which is decent but has some problems. Going to try Resurrection Remix N now.
Thanks.
I'm usig the latest stock:
Debloated, Rooted, Tweaked, Xposed
Working grea,t Stability and batterylife is the greatest.
"Best" is subjective
You'll have to try them out to see what you like the best. Read the threads of each ROM to see what to expect for stability/battery/performance
I am using viper os it's buttery smooth it's on android 7.1.2 and it's blazing fast
Performance?
Any recent AOSP ROM on 7.1.2. RR if I had to pick.
Battery life?
Rooted, debloated, stock Sammy ROM
Stability?
Same as above. Stock ROM.
Kernel?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Included kernel.
just installed latest and its really good (subjective) https://download.lineageos.org/kltedv

xposed? Check xposed for Samsung thread
Had my S5 for more than two years, and the circle is closed. Will be running stock with Magisk, Xposed and the Boeffla-kernel for the rest of its remaining life (1-2 years). Most important for me is stability and battery life. I miss the synchronised volume with BT though that LinageOS got.

Yes. But it's an old Securitylevelpatch and some useful apps from samsung ain't on board.
Can you please give me suggestion what to do with my Samsung S5? (just root phone and leave stock or install some rom?).
The reason I want to root is that now phone is sometimes slow. I have problems with messenger and whatsap apps for the past 1 year. Also there are some random bugs where phone freeze for several seconds or just restart.
For me, it's most important that phone and internet are stable/no freezing or dropping (I share internet from phone to PC for work). Also, I would like top
not have so many applications.. only those necessary and I will install what I want from google store.
