can somebody port Samsung based roms from samsung Galaxy on5(2016) or Galaxy c5(2016) variants......
This devices have Snapdragon 617 processor...
Hence, i thought that port would be possible..
and one more thing i would like to mention is that even blackberry dtek50 also has Snapdragon 617 chipset.. blackberry devices.. might be very secure than other android devices in market.. hence.. it is also worth to consider for porting.. i feel..
can someone do this
please do comment what you people think of this.. :highfive:
I honestly think that nobody hates so much his Moto G4 as for porting a Lagwiz Samsung rom.
Security begins in your head. And I agree, I personally don't want crappie bloated Samsung rom. I think people bought g4 primary for the stock feeling. And that blackberry is secure... That was beyond android based os. The new os isn't worth it.
Is this thread a joke? Why did you bought a phone with vanilla Android if you want a phone with TouchWiz????

well i do like stock rom.. but i would like to use port rom rather than a custom rom like lineage os.. since they consume a lot of battery.. and are less stable.. and are very buggy..

Seems you have not tested InvictaOS and official RR yet
but the new grace ux is worth giving a try it will be a like a change from the vanilla android....and yess it cant take place of the invictaOS but still iit will be great if someone looks into it

You are right in that, but partially.
The firsts builds of CyanogenMod 14.0 / LineageOS 14.1 were pretty unstable for a most long period, if we take CyanogenMod 13.0 as our last comparation subject, CM 13 was unstable just the firts two months, after that, worked very fine in the majority of the devices (officially supported ones).
But LineageOS suffered from having more codebase troubles (not only device specifically issues). It's very understandable because Nougat brought several script changes, which devs had to adapt to his sources.
And don't forget all the thing of moving to a new servers when CyanogenMod ceased to exist and became LineageOS, all this slowed the development.
But now, the LOS based roms are very very (sincerely) stable, i will recommend you to try the followings (all LOS based):
InvictaOS
Resurrection Remix
AOKP
LineageOS 14.1

I'm running PureNexus and its a great rom but is CyanogenMod a viable choice for this phone? I haven't really seen threads on it but i see there are nightlies being built.
Coming from an OPO CM was a pretty big deal but it doesn't seem so here. Is anyone running it that can give their opinion?

Lots of good choices and I've tried at least a half dozen. It's completely subjective but so far my personal favorites are RR, Pure Nexus and Screw'd. RR has all the extras most would want but it's really stable as well.
Yea I think CM gets lots of attention because it seems to be a popular rom to port to devices that don't have as many roms (or none at all besides CM.) Not that it's not really good. I've used it on other devices. Some were really stable, others I'd need to do clean installs every month or so. Using multirom now and have Pure Nexus as my primary rom with Uberstock and RR as secondary, but that could change from week to week.

PureNexus is great, really stable but i might try RR for the features. Isn't it CM based?

Based on CM and others. Take a look its right there in the OP

It's certainly buggy, but I've found it worthwhile. Root access, privacy guard and call whitelisting are features I'd not want to be without.
Are there any AOSP or stock Google Android ROMs out there for the S8? I'm not keeping my hopes up because I owned the S7 Edge ever since it came out and it never really came through. The reason I am asking is because I just found out there's a MultiROM tool for the S8 and I'd like to take advantage of that. If there aren't any AOSP ROMs, what are the lighest, most de-bloated TouchWiz based ROMs out there that feel like stock? I'm currently on BatMan ROM and it will be my primary ROM and I am looking for a light second.
Thanks!
There are no aosp roms yet.
Why is it that it takes so long for AOSP ROM's or Lineage based ROMs to come out for exynos devices? I'm just curious because Samsung released the kernel source for the exynos variants. I might be just asking a noob question but I'm curious what's involved in making a AOSP ROM for these devices.

Kernel development, porting, baking, bug fixes before release. There are a lot of steps involved that need someone decently motivated to take.

I'm willing to bet a few developers might be messing around with Lineage/AOSP. You have to consider the fact that there has never been an Exynos device running AOSP straight from Samsung. They have to build Android from the ground up for Exynos devices instead of just rooting and adding tweaks.
AOSP based roms for SnapDrgaon phones are a dime a dozen. Developers can look into other phones for bug fixes and common issues. With exynos, the developers have to fix bugs with no preexisting knowledge base to draw from. Besides what they know from Touchwiz Android builds.
Give it some time. The longer the phone has been out for the more hands it gets into. Especially when discounts are put out.
I got this question while I was searching for a rom with android 7.0 but with grace/dreamux, another question I got, is if will be possible to port the new features of android p beta (Samsung experience, good lock 2018, multitasking etc) to s5, thanks.
@unkupo This is because touchwiz ROMs are officially released by Samsung, with that said each device has its lifespan that Samsung provides updates support.......the device in question here is quite old, Samsung felt it wasn't capable of running their 7.0 smoothly without any lag and drawbacks due to hardware limitations...hence no S5 touchwiz 7.0....8.0....etc.....as for your other question, I don't know about all that, but I do know that lineage 16 (android 9) custom ROM will be available for the s5, well it is there as I write this, but not ready for daily use

Oooh, got it. Thanks, I've seen about lineage 16, if aosp roms got better camera apps, maybe I should give it a try

glad to be of help, I hear you on that bro though the best thing about getting the latest ROM is the security updates provided, at the moment I use DotOs 2.4 .....haven't looked back since I moved from touchwiz, in fact the moment I got my s5 back then, I immediately changed out touchwiz

I'm just stuck at touchwiz because of the features that I use, like increase the touch sensibility, the sensors, best camera quality and some other things that come in hand without need third party apps, but I really love aosp experience :')
Does anyone know what ROM to install on a LG G6 to keep it safe for at least 2-3 years ?
A few months ago, I bought a second hand LG G6 H870 for its camera quality !
At that time, I thought that I could keep it "updated" at least for safety patches with a LINEAGE ROM beyond "the usual 2-years limit" more or less granted by sellers and Brands.
Unfortunately, Lineage DEV dropped their support for this phone ...
In other words, I was cheated by LG ... and i was cheated by LINEAGE ....
Who's next ?
Help me make sense !
You can use the camera even if you don't have the last update
You can simply use stock rom, debloat it and you will see, it's quite good experience. You can use Gcam also, there is thread with the best version in this forum

Yeah we still have one major update and a few security patches left from LG. It's not like the phone is completely abandoned.
Also, yup this man is right, you can perfectly use GCAM on stock software.

What makes you say that?
Lineage 16.0 is currently being developed for all LG msm8996 devices (g5,g6,v20).

The info is on the official Wiki : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h870
Of course, I don't talk about any Lineage roms eventually and unofficially developped on xda ... by a "lone" developper ...
I hate to say so, but if the official Lineage OS (or any other official and alternative ROM to the stock one) is droppred after 2 years, it defeats the purpose .... if the game is to extend the support for expensive gadgets ... and break the commercial practices BRANDS enforce on consumer ....

That page probably says that because in the past G6 was officially supported (I didn't check, but probably Lineage 14?).
Anyway, like I said Lineage 16.0 is being developed. It's not official, but you can't expect it to be when it's not quite ready yet.
Development has been slow on these LG devices. For me personally, on G5, it's not been an attractive option, but it's getting there
and likely will be official when it's ready.
Edit: It's mainly x86cpu which is developing now https://review.lineageos.org/q/owner:x86cpu.
So you see, I'm not talking about all those random roms that are about. Although some of their work probably will help.

Thanks Silver Wx,
You seem to understand very well what is going on with BRANDS such as LG, SAMSUNG, ONEPLUS, APPLE, and whatever **** !
Yes stock rom is a good experience ! Except when security support is dropped after 2 years ...
In case you missed my point, LINEAGE OS "was" a warranty a +3-5 years supported phone ...
What kind of buyer are you Silver Wx ?
Every 2 years, you buy a new phone ?
Go back to school ....
There are too many custom ROMs for our phones but all of them are a bit same as pixel experience.. is there something different? Like oxygen os or one ui??
Hmmm, not agree with you. Pixel experience rom is as close as possible to the pixel's phone, UI and services or at least that's the goal, even if the rom for our phone is still a bit buggy of what I can read (even if the maintainer don't agree and ban every one saying that on telegram).
But many other ROMs offers you customization, more possibilities, and lots of different stuff. I think about havoc, bootleggers, crdroid, aex, etc ...
Each one match the attempt of different users, there is no best rom (but bad dictator Devs exists...), It's up to you to find the one who is closer to your daily use.
Just an opinion of course, I'm not pretending l'm always right and will be happy to read others different point of view.

I believe that all ROMs that you write are very close to pixel experience. I tried all of them and have very same things.. a lot of people waiting for something different.. something like oxygen os or one ui android
Onestly I think that every rom' family start from Lineage based sources and add its own customization & other things.
I'm on Lineage now. Clean, simple. That's all.
My 2 cents :good:

Yes actually this.. all ROMs start fro lineage but all are similar to each other.. For example for redmi note 7 pro there are oxygen os rom and one ui like Samsung phones.. is there anybody who can build these ROMs for our phones? Something different
