After root,
you can install AdAway, Xposed (not 100% stable in Touchwiz based ROMs), Servicely, etc
Also you have loads of ROMs like, AryaMod (TW based), Liquidsmooth, CM12 nightlies (few have connectivity issues with Wear) etc
You can flash themes once you root and install a customer recovery like Philz or TWRP
You can find all info in Development and Apps & Themes threads...

You can expect full access to your device.

You can do a lot of things, basically endless amount of stuffs. Your demand will continue to go high and more high, that's the only bad part about rooting a phone
Just some examples would be, AdAway (make your phone completely Ad free), then Xposed modules, Wanam Xposed, XPrivacy and so many others.
About ROMs or Kernels, well, you can't ask which ROM is best as per some XDA rule, but I would suggest you stay on Stock based ROMs. Just flash any Deodexed version (give a look at Alexander's topic, those are basically stock ROM, Deodexed, and without bloats), install a kernel of your liking, CivZ I will suggest, (you can stay on stock if you like), then install those apps and have fun.
As for S6/ Note 4 based ROMs, I don't want to comment about all that. If my experience servers me anything then no ported ROM could be as stable as a ROM meant for Note 3 only. You might have fun with those ported ROMs, for a month, a couple of month maybe, but then you will start to notice small issues and it might annoy you, and that's certainly not my cup of tea. But if you are okay with all that then go on, no problem at all.

Well if you wanna flash another rom then you are gonna have to wipe it all.
Many people do dirty flashes but that can kill your phone of you do the wrong kind of dirty flash.
You can do titanium backup but in my experience that causes more trouble then good 60 to 70 % of the time.
My recommendation is do a full wipe before you flash new rom and always do a wipe on internal sd card as well so that would leave the rom you are gonna flash on external sd card.
I find custom roms to be much better then stock. Obviously not a v1 or 2 of a custom rom but the higher version number gets the more stable and bugless the rom bee's.
Edit h **** I miss understand you lol.
You want to remove bloatware then custom rom is the best way. Keeping the note and spend features then don't flash cm or miui roms. Any not too debloated rom will have all features of stock note without the bloatware.
Hope I understood your question right this time [emoji12]

Custom Rom

I have a fully stock Asus Zenfone 3 and i wish to switch to a custom rom, but i can't decide which rom is the best. Can anyone suggest the best available rom like the LineageOS, aim rom or dotOS or any other?There are many to choose from . And also should i root my device before flashing a custom rom? Can anyone give me the proper steps and links to the right forum to root and flash custom rom? My device is very stock. even my bootloader is still locked. Mine is a ZE520KL 4GB ram with 64GB rom. I want a rom which has no bugs, performs well, and a better battery life. Thanks in advance

Hi, the best is stock debloated ROM.
Cheers

Better wait for another month or two.. None of the available builds are upto the mark. I tried almost all ROMS in this forum. Some ROMs have serious bugs like not recognising sd card or without MTP connection (Note:- though they are marked Stable).. Key developers for our device are busy with their exams or holidays so development for this device is paused for now. Until then stay stock or keep your device ready for customs by unlocking the boot loader. :good:

Alright, thanks very much :good: . And as for unlocking the bootloader, unofficial is the best way to do it? as from the forums i've read, the only downside is the pop-up when rebooting the device. The FOTA and other functions work normally?

The Pop-up appears once bootloader is unlocked whether official or unofficial method. Best way is to use unofficial method. Next time make use of that small Thanks Button instead of typing..:laugh:

well, I advise you to download and flash a custom NN Rom. which most of them are away better than the stock one
First: you need to flash a custom recovery
Second: download any custom ROM you like, for me I am using SEP 8.5, a Galaxy.
Third: Flashed it to your phone.
Fourth: if you don't know how to do all above. then you should watch some youtube videos.
Note: be careful to not break your phone.

If you don't want to install custom rom for some reason like custom roms come with few or many bugs. , I advise you to update to android 6.0.1. Custom roms come with few or many bugs. As for me, I flashed a custom roms as I don't care about the bugs as they only affect features that are somewhat not important.

IS it worth to install custom roms?

Like the title says, is the original rom good? Or should i go custom right as i boot it 1fst time

It worth it, at least you get the notifications work correctly and shows at the top of the status bar unlike the stock rom..
My advice to you is to istall lineage only, it's the most stable rom so far.

It depends on your priorities, if you want more choice, more control on what apps are pre installed, no bloatware, and more customization options, then that's what custom roms are for. But mind that it comes with lower security, at least as long as the manufacturer updates the device. Because custom roms usually run with looser security settings and features.

does custom roms fix the touchscreen lag on the edges?

Not worth it yet. Wait till official lineage and official trwp are released. More risky to use custom roms whose source codes are not released.

as i've seen and read in the forums, the unoffical lineage rom seems to be very stable already. Which problem do you see in flashing this version now?
My bootloader is unlocked in 3 hours and i want to get rid of this EMUI crap and bloatware

You don't get updates on unofficial versions and it's not as well maintained/supported as name implies. I rather keep bootloader locked and secured, and get almost monthly updates from xiaomi. Until official TWRP and LOS are released, as stated earlier. No need to rush and deal with instability or unexpected problems. I debloat unnecessary apps using SAKI program on stock room without root. I honestly think this is the best path to go for now.

I won't install any custom roms before official TWRP support and official LineageOS ROM support comes. I'd not also unlock my phone's bootloader untill those two thing comes.

I switched to Pixel Exirience rom from the global 10.3.5 and touch latency on the edges still the same.

I don't know what custom rom users priorities are, mine definitely having a smooth and proper working device. Most roms I tested in the past simple but most used features, like the camera, were always a headache. It might make sense for a techie or geek, but for daily use I'd rather debloat MIUI for mind peace...

any of you guys installed xiaomi.eu? seems like the better version of miui IMO.

have you tried flashing another kernel?

Maybe THIS can help you with your choice.

The Evira Kernel is built into the PE, so i just updated it to the last 1.9 version and did not feel any difference.

If you just want to get rid off the bloatware, just use adb commands. No unlocking and rooting needed

If you got the 3GB/32GB variant. then lineage OS or pixel experience should save you some extra GBs of storage and free you some extra ram (MiUI 10.3.5 uses 1.6GB or something IDLE and leaves you with 20GB storage with stock apps)

It is to early. You have latest version of Android OS on your phone, and Xaomi still give us updates with some new features.
Custom Roms are still developing and have some bugs,so .. I will no rush with installing custom rom yet. Thats my opinion.
When Xaomi stop supporting us and giving us updates,after one year that is sure that will happen,than will custom ROMs will be fully developed..and can install it..
I would like to have custom rom ,and Elvira kernel, I like tweaks and mods from Magisk. But also I want to see MIUI 11 and next Xaomi updates for RN7.

As soon as I could, I unlocked my bootloader and installed AOSP (GSI).
I don't really like MIUI, it has a lot of nice features but actually I don't use most of them.
For me, it's worth.
