Hey guys...
Just got my S7 edge today. Are the custom roms better than the stock? Do you advise me to flash? The most important thing for me is battery life, so if there's a stable rom that would do that (in addition to other features and advantages) I'd like to hear about it.
Well, I searched a bit, and people seem to like the Edge Renovate rom and the Omega rom, but it doesn't look like their available for my model "SM-G935FD". So, if you do advise me to flash a custom rom, which would be my best choice?
Thanks
Hi,
First things first, do you use the dual Sim capability of your device? Since the rom doesn't support 935FD I believe it will "turn" your device into a 935F (which I think it's possible, not sure), which is a single SIM phone.
If you do use two SIM cards at the same time I wouldn't flash a custom ROM. If you wish to however, then I will suggest the same I always do, read the threads carefully and check for battery life screenshots with any comments, then see if it's the ROM you want to flash.
All the best,
~Lord

Thanks for your reply.
And, no, I won't use dual sims. And I've just read that people flashed a G935F rom onto a G935FD model successfully with no issues. So I'm gonna go for it. And so far, I'm going for the Renovate custom rom. But I'm not sure whether to pick Renovate Edge 3.3 or Renovate Note 2.0, so if there's anyone who can help me pick... thanks!
As someone who's installed all the ROMs on xda for this device, my suggestion would be to stick with stock. You can root your device and use xposed modules to achieve the same result. I'm doing this currently.
If however you've made up your mind regarding custom ROMs, my suggestion would be Renovate Edge. It is an amazing build (I recently mentioned it in the thread) and since the Note 7 is a discontinued line, I'm not sure whether the Note port will be given much priority in future. I can be wrong.

Thanks for your answer. But why do you suggest to stick to stock? Isn't Renovate lighter and better?
I went out looking for custom ROMs to bypass the fingerprint lock issue at reboot where you've to enter the pin manually. Now I don't care much as my phone rarely passes hands. Apart from that the stock is pretty smooth itself... You don't really need a custom ROM. The battery is good by itself. You can improve it using greenify+xposed or you can use Samsung's battery optimisation available in the battery settings. Works like a charm! But hey, try things out yourself and decide.

Not a problem! Also, if it makes any difference, none of the custom ROMs beat the stocks Antutu score for my device. What's going on? I don't know if that's the case for others here. The closest was Renovate and yet not close enough. Antutu is **** anyways.

Hey folks,
New to the rooting game. Downgraded my G900V from 5.0 -> 4.4.2 NCG, towelroot, SuperSu, Safestrap 3.75, Titanium backup. Backed up via SafeStrap custom recovery for stock and pasted it to my desktop as well as a full Titanium backup.
I am ready to enter the custom rom game! I am sad that I cannot try Cyanogenmod because that seems to be the top dog.
I am hoping to retain these earlier KitKat OS versions because they seem to run infinitely raster than stock 5.0 pre-root. However, I've never had one rooted and debloated so who knows.
I am looking for max customizability. I was all about customizing my UI like crazy prior to rooting on 5.0 using apps. So highly customizable UI, battery life +, and stability if at all possible.
1) What do you guys suggest? Thanks!
2) Do all TouchWiz-based ROMS require that you flash another firmware version prior to installation?
As of right now, I am looking at the Alliance ROM but it was released like a year ago and wondering if there's a better or more updated version.
I found a link via galaxys5root dot c0m
Is this a safe download?

I revised my original post and apologize again. I am just interested in what my options are.
I haven't heard back on a working download link for Build 2 of Alliance ROM so I am venturing into the MOAR ROM territory. Just to be safe, I purchased Titanium PRO and it's being synced to Drive as we speak.
After it completes, I'm going to attempt my first ROM flash and nervous. From what I've gathered, I need to boot into SafeStrap, full wipe, install the zip from ex/int SD-card, and then boot into download mode. From there, I flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5.
Now, once I do this, the post says that SafeStrap won't work anymore. If I follow these instructions:
"7. Safestrap will no longer work unless you use odin and flash NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 or any VZW KITKAT kernel. Then you can enter Safestrap. Once you flash file or whatever you need to do in safestrap remember to boot to download mode from safestrap and then use odin to flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 or the VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5. Then you will be good to go. This process must be done every time you need to use SafeStrap!"
... will I still be able to run safestrap and retain the ROM? Or is that just in case I want to access my backed up recovery and revert back to my custom recovery pre-ROM?

XDA changed their stance on these kinds of threads and are allowing them to to stay open as long as they don't turn into a flame fest.
I am curious too, as to what is out there that runs well. I am coming from an AT&T LG G2 with lots of options to a this phone that seems to be much more restricted than anything I have seen in the past. This looks like its going to be far more work to get few results. Also it seems like it's easier to brick than the G2 was. Obviously I have a lot of reading to do, and probably a downgrade from OE1 if I want root. I just want to know if there is a ROM worth doing all this work for. Thank you!
It's complicated but worth it.
I'm not going to pick a favorite, but anyone worth their search engine can see what I'm using.
The battery life was horrible straight out of the box, and 'something' had to be done. I have flashed different phones from Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, etc. from at least 4 different carriers. Nothing compares with how much harder it is just to get root on our Samsung-SM-G900V variant with it's locked bootloader. CyanogenMod is not even an option, so I'm using a custom 5.0 TouchWiz ROM.
The debloating zip via ADB is what really fixed the poor battery life.
It is worth it.
My battery life is now 'amazing'.
The only other phone I had that even came close to battery life and screen on time like this, was my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2, running CM10.2
Is it worth the effort? Even after trying a short cut and getting stuck in a loop with no recovery? Having to use Odin just to start over? Not having any success until I found a YouTube tutorial?
It's up to you. Perhaps you don't mind bloatware. Maybe you can always find a way to plug it in for a charge.
Good luck.
I have an s5 on Verizon and would like to root what is fastest and safest way?

Are you talking about THE PURGE? The debloater recommends a stock ROM; does this mean I cannot use this option and use OptimalROM or MOAR? I'd like to apply it to my current setup (Optimal)

I forgot to mention that I am currently calibrating my battery using a Play Store app. I wonder if this will help
Also, I did it the manual way as well. What a serious pain in the rear lol. Afterwards, with my newfound confidence of rooting, I went to work on my wife's LG G2. What a joke!
Her battery life is unreal. At the end of the day, she sits at 60% battery life after hefty use. I am getting a bit jealous.

Update: I apologize for not searching before posting. I stalked all your activity here and found your exact process for debloating. Thank you! I look forward to seeing the difference.
Now if only my damn phone would charge to 100% to finish calibration!
ahhhhh. why am I still draining the battery so much?
wiped my rom, installed optimalrom for oc4 lollipop, ran debloat script for lollipop and rocking minimal data wifi, screen brightness, keeping ram free, etc. greenifying everything except streams.

wrong thread!
Hi guys,
Been reading these forums for the last few hours but still struggling to make my mind up...I would like to know your opinions on the best method of rooting my phone (SM-n9005 on lollipop 5.0) and what ROM and kernal you recommend please? The most important factor for me is stability/lack of bugs but without going back to an earlier version of android. Or would that mean that it would make more sense to keep the stock ROM/kernal?
I apologise in advance for any stupid questions as I am pretty new to this but very eager to tinker!
Thanks!
my choice!

* Root via CF Auto Root
* Flash AryaMod ROM (via TWRP)
* Flash Lean Kernel 6.3 (via TWRP)
Well my choice for rooting is simple. Install a custom recovery (TWRP), then flash the SuperSU zip from there, done.
My preferred custom ROM (for you) would be Arya, cause it comes with lots of features, and it's based on stock Samsung TW ROM, so its stable as hell.
Kernel? Well I am sorry to say I can't say that, probably Audax? I am on Stock at this moment, and all I know if I move to a custom kernel it will be Audax at this moment, cause honestly I don't see any reason to use any other kernel other than that. I prefer a kernel for its additional features, and those aren't available then I don't see any point of using a custom kernel

Thanks a lot for the help! By the sounds of it then, i will definitely go with the Arya ROM...I'm assuming this and Aryamod are the same thing? Also, will this offer many more advantages as the stock ROM and will it be as stable? The main reason i have decided to root my phone is to get more out of apps requiring root and to get rid of bloatware.
With regards to the kernal, i guess being a novice, all i understand is that they can improve battery performance and phone performance so i would like to go for one fitting this. Unless i have missed the idea completely lol
Thanks again mate

This is Arya mate, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
Yes, the ROM is damn stable, as stable as stock ROM, I used the ROM for almost two months, and in fact I am downloading it now, getting bored of stock ROM.
Yes, kernel can improve battery life and performance, if you know what to tweak.

Thanks a lot! I'm just backing up my phone then I'm going to try to root it and install the ROM tonight! I think i'll leave the custom kernal for a while so I can see how i get on with the stock kernel. At least then i'll hopefully be able to compare once i do flash a new one.
Thanks for being patient

Sure mate, we are here to help. Just do a wipe before doing all that, cause without wiping the ROM and all its features might not work and the ROM won't be stable anyway. Wipe everything from TWRP, under Advanced wipe section, except external SD card of course. Take a backup beforehand. Remember, if you do that advanced wipe thing, then you won't have anything on your phone, so better download Arya before doing all that.

I've managed to root it without any problems so I'm well chuffed
I decided to get the hang of titanium backup and TWRP backup before i start messing about too much with custom ROMS. Which for me, is a very sensible decision
I've been looking at the Arya rom which like you said, seems amazingly stable now, and the Darklord N5 or S6 port, which apparently is stable now too. Do you have any experience with the Darklord N5 or S6 ROMs? How do these compare to the Arya? Lastly, now that I've rooted it, is there much to gain from a custom ROM as it seems that you can get many different apps to customise different things whilst keeping the stability of the OEM ROM?

Unfortunately I don't posses any idea about those ROMs mate. As much as I would like to respect and admire those developers (you have no idea how hard it is to do even a simple mod, let alone a full ROM like that), at the same time I will have to say almost all the ported ROMs have some sort of issues, be it S6 or Note 5 or Note 4, yes, they might be negligible to some, but I want my phone to be performing as stable as possible. And as Arya is based on Stock Note 3 firmware there is no chance of any instability. But if you find Darklord Note 5 port stable and don't encounter any problem then use it, by all means. Heck if Samsung doesn't release 5.1.1 i next couple of months then I too obviously will that route, but for now 5.0 is okay enough for me.
And yes, with a custom ROM you can do a lot of things as you have already experienced. You rooted it to install the custom ROM, and then there are the ROM features which need root, so yes, custom all the way. This is coming from a stock ROM lover by the way, but as I said before, Arya is as stable as a stock ROM, and comes with some really handy features additionally, so its a simple decision for me

Just rooted my phone was running @5.0 stock lollipop and I updated to Jasmine 6.1 ROM (I thought 6.1 means 6.1 Android Version but i guess i was wrong)
I'm looking for verizon galaxy note 3 rom that's running on marshmallow
I seen T mobile note 3 can flash rom that's running on marshmallow right now
Is there any marshmallow rom available for verizon model as well?
I'm relatively new to all of this but from what I can gather our bootloaders are still locked (anyone that hasn't flashed a different one before 4.4) I have a rooted 5.0 verizon note 3 but I can't get twrp on it to flash any roms. I don't know if there are anyways around this so if anyone can point me to a set of instructions to read up on, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Their is no Marshmallow (android 6) ROM available that I am aware of. Perhaps we shall get lucky and their will be a Jasmine one available one day?

Due to an exploit you can root it now. Many android devices that were once not rootable are now rootable. You can also install custom roms, but their is still no solution for installing Boot Recoveries (like TWRP)
You can root your device through yemen one click
Then use FlashFire to install Jasmine Rom. Seems to work pretty decent for me.

i know this threads old but root then do bootloader unlock and use flashify to flash recovery then flash roms and enjoy.
Most marshmallow roms currently don't support verizon sim cards. since they use CDMA towers and all MM Roms ive seen are based off Global models (GSM). I guess there are ways to work around it, but they're labor intensive and still don't seem to work well/reliably. They also still have problems with the SMS/MMS and applying their provided patch on a Verizon phone causes bootloop .
I've tried Music of life, Darklord, and Darkwolf. all have some sort of problem. i'm went back to jasmine 6.1. I made a full backup using TWRP 2.8.7 before mucking around with the other roms. so i've been playing around with roms worry free. lol but IMHO there is yet to be one worth using as a daily driver.
CM13 unofficial works pretty well but it doesn't support S-pen and all those little fancy things.

CM13 is MM derived and works fine on Verizon. (I don't know about MVNOs that use Verizon's network - I'm an "ordinary" VZW subscriber). SMS/MMS/Calls, whatever. There are a few odds and ends (e.g. NFC) that aren't working, but the things that make it a phone - SMS/MMS/calls - all have been solid in my limited usage.
$.02
Yeah i liked cm13. It was working pretty good for me, i made a twrp recovery image so i could play with it here and there. Just no fancy touchwiz features like spen and multiwindow.
Also, On one of the s6 ported roms i could send sms and recieve sms but not mms. i was also able to get data connection. I like it the best but it still needs some polishing. I just flashed a stock deodexed lollipop rom, still taking it for a test spin to compare against jasmine 6.0. But so far i like it. If i can get more xposed modules working on this rom it may be my favorite so far. Im waiting on darkwolfs v3's release which is schedualed for this weekend .

Most marshmallow roms currently don't support verizon sim cards. since they use CDMA towers and all MM Roms ive seen are based off Global models (GSM). I guess there are ways to work around it, but they're labor intensive and still don't seem to work well/reliably. They also still have problems with the SMS/MMS and applying their provided patch on a Verizon phone causes bootloop .
I've tried Music of life, Darklord, and Darkwolf. all have some sort of problem. i'm went back to jasmine 6.1. I made a full backup using TWRP 2.8.7 before mucking around with the other roms. so i've been playing around with roms worry free. lol but IMHO there is yet to be one worth using as a daily driver.
CM13 unofficial works pretty well but it doesn't support S-pen and all those little fancy things.

Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Bootloader HAS been unlocked
I found a thread on here showing how to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon note 3 about a month ago however everyone is still saying its locked. I would love it if someone made a port of the s7 edge and note 5 android 6.0.1 for the Verizon note 3. But, I'm simply just about done wishing since nobody can seem to realize that the bootloader IS UNLOCKED .

In terms of 'current' the Note 3 is still great hardware... But it's coming up on 3 years old and in terms of technology... That's OLD.
Most developers have moved on to bigger and better (newer) phones.

Darklord rom works pretty good 6.0.1 TouchWiz and I like temasek cm13. Seems to run both pretty good so far

I think it's this one: [Official] Note 3 Verizon Bootloader Unlock.
I've got a VzW Note 3 (SM-N900V) frozen at v4.4.2 using SafeStrap v3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0) The device and TWRP work great; I've made changes and roll backwards and forwards -- although I've only done one ROM upgrade, and that was to this specific version. BTW, Xposed and One Tap YouTube downloader now work again.
I like having a computer in my pocket but I want it to work -- phone, WiFi, BT, camera, pen, LTE, everything. Running a neat ROM where things don't function just doesn't work for me anymore.
(This, and I used to write firmware-level hard disk drivers.)
I've frozen ALL of my devices to 4.4.X -- because they all look and act exactly the same. I don't mind different apps on different devices, but they need to act the same. If I'd wanted to Think Different I'd have ibought an iApple.
Looking at v6 M to see if I can upgrade all of them.
I have tried almost every marshmallow rom made for note 3, i have a n900v and i have flashed all of this roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...x-roms-5-x-6-x-rooted-note-3-verizon-t3364341
I favor darklord rom right now I setup my phone slightly different then most do in build prop don't know if it made much of a difference but if don't have the issues most do lte sms calls etc work fine for me. I have an iPhone 6 plus also jailbroken/rooted yes I like to be different hate being another sheep like everyone else with the exact same phone lmao. I like all my phone my way that's reason 1 for me not liking my Verizon s6

I was using superman rom i think months and months and months ago in marshmallow. Went back to stock S7 edge rom when nougat came out, like the changes alot but its slow and i want to start tinkering with roms again. I have been away from forum for like 6 months or more. What are the best roms right now? Looking for something simple and super fast. ( i guess preferably nougat? but doesnt have to be )

Ever since I got this phone, just before Christmas I've been using ambasadiis rom, no lag at all battery life is amazing he puts out frequent updates also
I've tried many roms and I just suggest ambasadiis ROM.... with ROM control... It's amazing:good::good:
I've been using Resurrection Remix for the past few months now and it's the best I've used, highly customisable, no Touchwiz or bloat and I've yet to have an issue with it, I would suggest you give it a shot personally

I want to suggest you to give King Of Nougat (latest v9 with special edition zip, v10 is work in progress will come out soon). Developer is amazing and kind, we have an extraordinary telegram group where we talk a lot and it's definetely useful.

Hi everyone,
I've been using my OP5 for the past year and now I've exhausted my full 64Gb of storage. Was planning to backup my data onto my laptop and start afresh but I thought it is time to root. I've rooted pretty much every phone I've had in the past for some or the other reason like increasing battery life, overclocking, debloated roms for more storage etc. etc.
I have been technologically dead for the past 2 years so I'm kind of lost right now and in confusion on as to whether to root or not? What would be the main advantages I'd be getting if I root. My phone is still blazing fast, has amazing battery life and OOS is really smooth.
Just in a lot of confusion and want to find more reasons to root.
If you have to ask, you don't need it.
If you root your phone you'll be able to actually use your phone. The only disadvantage to rooting your phone that I see would be that whenever I see a new rom, I want to flash it. I've never understood why somebody would not want to root their phone. Maybe warranty? But then again, I think there are ways around that?

Should have seen a reply like this coming my way. Buddy, I've rooted every other phone I've had in the past. Either for updates, better battery life, smoother ram management and so on.. The only thing I couldn't understand is this phone isn't lacking in any of the above mentioned points including updates **touch wood** so wanted to understand others thought process on the advantages cause I am unaware of all the cool mods you can do at the moment, if there are any.

Thank you, this was helpful.. I don't see why i shouldn't root it too. I'll probably be rooting too. Which Rom would you suggest for stability and everyday usage with some good extra additional functionality?

My favorite rom is Codename Phoenix. It's fast and it's not on XDA, which is probably why I like it. It's got a lot of features. If there is a feature a rom doesn't have you can always get Xposed or something to enable.
But the main reason for rooting my phone is so that I can use gcam properly. I love Photoshop and gcam offers the best photos. In my opinion, far better than stock or any other.
There's an option just to flash a custom ROM and leave it unrooted ?
I can recommend Resurrection Remix unofficial. Simply followed the steps with unlocking the bootloader and gaining root on stock ROM, then flashed a custom ROM without rooting it.
If you thought battery life was great with stock OOS you're going to be pretty surprised with battery at Resurrection Remix and Flash Kernel ?

The best combination of stability and improved battery life is between the stock stable OxygenOS paired with the latest Franco kernel. I have tried pretty much all of the custom ROMs but every time the battery life of my phone was getting worse (compared to fully stock) until I tried stock OOS with Franco Kernel. But I have to say that I only have rooted my phone to use the Franco Kernel Manager and I do not have any add-ons into Magisk. Root + Franco and everything else is stock. I am not flashing new roms/kernels like crazy and really often, because the stable OOS is getting released once in two or even three months. Franco's kernel is being updated, hm, let's say once in a month or two months. So 99% of the time you are going to use your phone without flashing anything new.
