What ROM do you recommend to me? - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, im looking to install a new ROM on my P8 Lite ALE-21. I currently have the stock one. I mainly want to use my phone for social media.

I recommend AOSPA or LOS 13.
Performance is great and batterylive isnt even bad.

I installed AOSPA some minutes after posting this. Im in love with it, speed is a lot faster and the UI is beautiful. I don't know about the battery life yet tho.

You can deactivate 2 cores in the kernel audiator and batterylive wil much improve.

Basically just what title says, is it safe to freeze knox after root?

Yes, but it'll be better to simply remove them as you'll get some more space (a bit I guess).

I suggest you to try cm12.1 by Nick Verse. You'll see a noticeable improvement in performance and ram usage, but camera quality is not same as on stock.

Samsung galaxy s8 lags?

Hey!
I recently got a s8, and im in love I really am, but im very very worried because it lags in snapchat a bit and while opening facebook messenger heads. I'm just wondering if there is possible that something is wrong with my device or this is all normal.

Hi! I have noticed the same problems with my s8, and as you said its mostly on snapchat and messenger. Are you running them while the power saving mode is turned on? I noticed that apps like these lag on power saving mode for me.

Nope power saving turned of for me... maybe is just samsung update or something because other apps run fine as far as i can tell
Also lagging a lot on messenger and Snapchat. Done a factory reset to see if it would fix this but no joy

I think there will be a software update to fix it, because on Android O the s8 is almost as fast as the note 8... and Android O is still in beta.

It depends on the carrier. If you dindn't get a notification asking to update that means you have not gotten the update yet. I'd wait a few more days or even weeks and the update should be out for everyone. :good:

I'm using AICP 12.1 (by optx) which is based on LOS14.1.
It's from January I believe but I have used it for a daily since then with next to no issues.
Sorry I don't have the link right now but I will edit this post as soon as I find it.
I find it best to not use Google Play Services and use "Yalp Store" which you can find on F-Droid site.
However some apps may need GPlay Services due to dependencies. (Just flash OpenGapps, make sure you flash with the rom and not after it's been booted without them installed)
(Snapchat requires GPlay Services to be installed before it even opens)
But yeah, it's very very smooth just battery life is not the best... I can still get a full days use if I don't sit on it all the time. (Tested a "new, genuine" battery which has same results...)
No issues with BT, WiFi, NFC or RIL.
All sensors working as supposed to incl. Fingerprint scanner. (Haven't tested heart beat sensor)
Only reason I have to link this is because the nightlies for Nougat have been removed from AICP's servers
Camera works great, haven't had one force close yet...

Thank you for the answer, good to know, because in the A510F I was sick of Samsung Experience but thanks to Exynos LineageOS was just awful, now in S5 I can install it and I'm curious. PD: The infrared works? I use it a lot (I'm a bit laxy hahaha) so it's an important feature for my daily use.

I'm using it right now, the phone is fast as hell. It's true that the battery is a bit worse, but is better than Touchwiz MM xD.

Yuppppp.
If you look in the quick tiles pulldown (statusbar) you should find a performance mode option. I use that to save battery when I don't need it to be zippy fast. (You may have to edit tiles) also go into AICP extras and look for scrolling cache and force disable it.
Is there any ROM with battery better than TouchWiz Stock ROM? I need battery more than anything. Haha

Don't know, I'm a bit amateur in this device. But probably not, maybe one Touchwiz based ultralight can help you.

I'm sorry to ask again, but I have a last question he he. I installed LOS14.1 and I have some Wi-Fi and Mobile data problems (like it power off and restart the signal or the WiFi is quite slow...) Do you have those problems in that ROM you shared in this thread? (If not I will install it, I'm a bit sick of the dam WiFi). Thanks in advance.
Oh... this is sad, because I tested LineageOS and the battery life was very poor...

Hi mate, no I don't...
I use LTE 90% of the time which doesn't help me answer this question much but I usually only have problems with Wi-Fi when the signal is low.
Have you upgraded the device to the latest stock firmware before flashing TWRP / new rom?
I noticed the Modem is read-only so flashing a rom won't change it.
Not sure what to say to be honest.
Have you got an aftermarket back cover? non-genuine or made of metal perhaps?

Are you referring to LOS15.1? Because battery isn't too bad on Nougat builds. Not the best but is usable.

Yes LOS14.1/15.1 are terrible for battery.
I understand other ROMs are built from LOSbut I've had better luck using AICP 12.1 (Nougat 7.1.2)
If you can't find a recent build let me know and I'll link one to you.

It gives an extra 8- 10 %
Just root your phone ...
HBM is not the only reason to root

yes there was already news reported about the app on the pixel's and that it was actually slowing them down, so i would imagine any phone that has this installed would have the same results.
