[Q] Imperium ROM SG S4 question, updating! (4.4.2 KK)

Hey!
New to the XDA forum, not new to Android!
I will cut to the chase and explain really fast what I need help with.
I have been using the Imperium ROM 4.4.2 KK for a few weeks now and I love it.
But as of a few days ago, Update 4.0 (up from 3.6) was released, and my phone just won't stop spamming me with "upgrade to the latest version 4.0!" . However, as far as I can tell, I have to re-download the 4.0 ROM and flash my phone entirely over again.
So, TL;DR:
I am using the Galaxy S4 Imperium 4.4.2 ROM 3.6 and I want to;
a)Upgrade to 4.0 without re-flashing my and having to re-install all apps, backup photos etc.
b)Turn off the spam notifications about updating.
Thanks in advance, sincerely

I have the same problem i was using 6.0 and now 7.0 is out can i just perform ota update or do i have to donwload the rom and flash it.....what about my apps installed in 6.0 can i just apply update from sd in recovery...i dont want to reinstall all those apps again.plz help

Guys come on. These are really basic questions.
- If you are not prepared to wipe everything from time to time, then you should stay away from custom roms.
- You can just try it yourself if it works. Make a backup and flash away. If you got problems, fully wipe and restore your backup.

Imperium

New to Zenfone 5 Scene at XDA

Hello,
I've been using my Asus Zenfone 5 for last 3 years. It came with Jelly bean and got updated till Lollipop. After the Lollipop upgrade there were a lot of issues including battery, signaling, storage and apps crashing.
I followed some tuts and recently downgraded to KitKat. Having no issues for now.
I get an on-screen time of 4 hours and 11 minutes. Not sure if it's supposed to be bad or not. I'm looking to flash an AOSP ROM, preferably KitKat or Lollipop based as I'm tired of ZenUI and the poor battery backup.
I've previously used a Moto E, Galaxy SIII and Moto E2. I kept the Zenfone instead because of the better hardware and features it offers.
Also if you link me to a ROM, be sure to link the flashing instructions as well. I'm using dual SIM.
Thanks.

Kitkat and Lollipop cooked rom has quite lot of issues. If I were you, I would pick a Nougat rom

Nougat ROM is more stable than KitKat? Interesting. This is the first time I'm hearing of it. Can you link me to a good ROM?

Here's one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-0-tank0412-t3548135
Of course u must know the basic, flash recovery, rom,..
The only issue that every Asus devices must accept when install a custom ROM is can't use GPS and fmradio. (A-Gps still ok).

I used RR Android 6 rom for a few months. After boring issues etc. I went back to the modded Stock Android 5 but after a few months of usage i realised its worse and yesterday I installed Android 7 RR rom. It's perfect, just like a new phone.

Is there a Custom ROM / Rooted ROM for the S8 with automatic / easy Updates

Hello everyone,
I got a new S8 and am wondering, which ROM to choose. I have used Superman Rom on my S7 for a long time now and was happy with it, despite the fact that I had to wipe with every update.
Titanium Backup made it a lot easier - it still was a lot of work.
So my Question:
Is there a ROM which can be updated without wiping?
What I want is basically ROOT, google apps and if possible the original (or improved) Camera App from the S8. And it schould be stable.
I am aware of lineageOS, but the S8 support seems not to be so good by now.
Thanks for every hint,
H

ok so basically
stock s8 firmware rooted : no more Ota and many root related limitations etc, but maybe able to flash Ota manually not sure
s8 firmware based custom roms: as with every new update the rom is rebased to latest firmware, always clean install always as the rom is a modified firmware, so always different (of course dirty flash might work but often result in issues of all kinds)
and with aosp based roms , most of the time yes, to update you can just flash rom then gapps and then just wipe caches/dalvik and reboot is its the same rom as the rom is the same and in fact just stock android so no big changes between builds.
But yes it's annoying but clean install is ALWAYS the best option, and easy update = no rooting
and for stability, the closer to stock the rom is , the most stable it would be. (and good camera = forget about aosp)
so I would recommend you batstock rom or batman rom (s8 version of superstock or superman), but update without wiping, except on unrooted ... not really

Thanks for your detailed reply - That's what I was afraid of to hear.
I will try to live with the limitations of non rooted stock - otherwise Batman or Batstock will be the next to try.

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..

ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..

[SM-P600] What ROM are you guys using, suggestions?

I'm trying to use my tablet more, which I haven't because it gets hot in the back and the charger is slow to charge the battery... I thought of seeing if there's a decent alternative ROM.
Currently I'm on LOS 14.1 (2018-12-23) - any suggestions?

https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1-Deathly/n1awifi/
Charging is fast as long as you use the original charging adapter...
On the deathly build you can set the charging current with the included app "Deathly Auditor" (customized Kernel Auditor).

it drains the battery very fast! is there another better Rom that you recommend?

Here is a highly regarded custom ROM for the Note 10.1 2014: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-p600-wifi-t3606313

I been flashing my sm-600 wifi for 5 years now, here is what I experienced. I have tried all roms for my device and it seems no custom rom charges as fast as the lastest stock roms even though it's 5.1. the nougat roms and the couple marshmallow roms all charge very slowly. I have tried different cables and chargers and even a new battery only to find out that it was the roms. I used Accu battery to finally figure that out. So stick with stock, all apps and Samsung browser work just fine and it will charge in half the time with a 2.0 charger. I also removed all Google apps and download and upgrade my apps though apkmirror and all work just fine with stock rom, I hope this helps.

There’s LineageOS 14.1, 17.1, and 18.1, all available in the device forums.

My SM-P600 is currently running an old version of LOS (14.1-20200411). It seems stable, but I'm wondering if it's still worth an update - would I likely see any improvement? Or, am I better sticking with the old; if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
What would be the most stable rom and build? Looking through the Dev threads, it looks like some of the LOS 18.1 aren't too stable, but I'd rather stability and battery life over more recent Android.

In 2023, if someone is still using this tablet like me, I recommend the Android 10 version. It works best when very few apps are installed and can run most apps in the playstore.

Hey body, how were you able to install the android 10 in this piece of art of tablet. I'm still using it and it´s amaze. But I'm using the 7.1 .

I've been using LineageOS 14 for a while, and it has pros and cons:
Pros: better battery performance, Android 11 with updated features and apk versions, no more forced to keep installed ****ty OEM's software.
Cons: at least 1 random crash per day, S-Pen didn't work as smooth as with the original firmware (probably due to some Samsung S-Pen framework), I only managed to take notes on PDFs buying Squid (no Write on PDF available) and palm rejection didn't work anyway.
Since last Sunday (June 11th) WiFi and Home button had stopped working, so I decided to go back to the official 5.1.1 firmware. Now everything works again, and I can again edit PDFs with S-Pen and its palm rejection (which I missed so much).
I will continue using 5.1.1 unless somebody can guarantee that there is any Lineage build in which S-Pen works with as much quality as in the official firmware.
