Hello everyone.
As you you all know, when Samsung first released kitKat for our beloved G7102 it had many problems, specially the very bad gaming performance.
The stock ROM I tried back then was G7102XXUBNH5, during this time they have released different ROMs for KitKat, like G7102XXUBNK2 and G7102XXUBOC1 and G7102XXUBOF1.
So my question is, Do all of these stock ROMs have the same problem?, or did Samsung fix it in on of the other versions I mentioned?

Hey guys
I want to ask you a few things, i have installed a 6.0.1 custom rom on my J500M, too nice but yesterday a picked up the J5 of a friend and it has 5.1.1 and it was "faster" that my installed custom rom.
The question is that what do you prefer
5.1.1 or 6.0.1??
Wich is faster??
What do you thing
I have J500FN. It doesn't have MM update and I won't use MM even if it would have because I don't need to change from 5.1.1.
If features from latest version can be achieved on previous one, then I don't see a point in upgrading as long as you're good with the actual version.
Performance of phone can be downgraded by using crap apps like Facebook, Messenger and so on. Also, Xposed can make the phone slow.
Latest android version doesn't mean always better.
My opinion.
Tnks, i´ll downgrade too lollipop, i decided because MM isn´t the best friend of tocuhwiz, i prefer lollipop touchwiz rom
I upgraded my J500H to 6.0.1. And after few days of use I downgraded back to 5.1.1. There isn't much new things in 6.0.1 and I felt that my device is faster in 5.1.1. So prefer 5.1.1 & again this is my personal view others may disagree with me.
Marshmallow has heating problem ...so I had to downgrade to lollipop after using it ...but I am sure that battery life of marshmallow is way better than lollipop
no heating issue whatsoever , great battery life . security updates to keep malware away. what else could you wish for
Hey guys, I'm currently on stock Lollipop because in my J500FN Marshmallow 6.0.1 has a RAM problem and it isn't smooth. I'd like to flash Resurrection Remix to try this beautiful rom; then I'd like to give a new try to Marshmallow in J500FN because samsung released a recent update for spain http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/113125/J500FNXXU1BPK3_J500FNOXA1BPK3_PHE/ and I hope this would solve RAM and smoothness problems. But I also read the topic that says it's not suggesteable to flash latest marshmallow firmware because I might not downgrade to lollipop; Do I risk flashing this last firmware? What do you think about?

An update wouldn't solve the ram or lag. It's about Touchwiz. No matter how many updates you get.
Touchwiz is fully bloated with Knox crap and other things (inside almost every apk). 95% J5 will be my last Samsung phone ever, just because Touchwiz.
Did you ever use cm12.1 by Nick? There's a huge difference between AOSP based rom and Touchwiz, both in performance/smoothness and ram usage/multitasking.
People say that CM battery drain faster. I agree, but remember this:
Touchwiz = lag, bad multitasking, more battery.
CM based rom = fast (I had 0 lag), awesome multitasking, less battery.
It's your choice which you use, but CM is definitely a winner for me.
As my next phone (when J5 will stop working), I want an phone which comes with AOSP, like Nexus or Moto. As far as I know, these phones has non-removable battery, which always worried me, but having AOSP is a big deal.

Yeah that's true, Touchwiz is very heavy, but other people said that Marshmallow in J500F doesn't have these perfomance/RAM problems and it is smooth. So, it also depends on how Samsung does optimizes it. Maybe with an update J500FN Marshmallow will become like 6.0.1 on J500F, who knows. Btw I'm flashing your RR right now. Do I risk if I then flash last firmware for J500F? Can I downgrade to Lollipop if I want?

I don't think you can flash J500F firmware on other model.
And I don't know if you can downgrade or not, neither. The 2-3 people which said that can't downgrade are J500H owners. Other people says that is fake.
If you believe or not, it's up to you. But i believe, considering that it happened on other Samsung phones even in past (Google, XDA).

I don't wanna flash a J500F firmware in my J500FN, lol. I just asked if with latest firmware for J500FN I couldn't downgrade to Lollipop again. If the problem occured only to J500H users I think that's fine, I'll flash latest marshmallow firmware then. Thanks buddy, check your PM one moment!

I'm currently on MM and on the latest firmware situation didn't change, RAM problems are still there and I flashed latest firmware of my country. I think i'll stay a bit here, when I'll downgrade I'll let you know if I'll be able to do that

Currently on stock 5.1.1. Would upgrading to 6.0.1 improve my battery without affecting performance?
I notice in the past, jumping from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 would decrease my storage space cuz lollipop takes more space.
Are you guys happier on 6 or 5?
I would

Downgrade to 4.4.4
If your IR blaster is working do not under any circumstance update.
My ir blaster was gone after an update long ago.
Same here, everything works great

6.0.1 is the last and worst update Samsung pushed out on the Note 4 because the SOT on the stock firmware be 3 hours max. But, it is worth the upgrade, because one developer on the Exynos thread, @ananjaser1211 is working on two upcoming ROMs: LineageOS 8.1.0 and Daedalus Note 8 Port ROM 7.1.1 with Samsung Experience 8.5, and you need Marshmallow to get those to work. And surely they will give life to our rotten Exynos Note 4 by getting Nougat and Oreo that Google didn't allow Samsung to push, giving us better battery life, and more features that the beloved Note 4 never gets to receive.
For more info about those two mentioned ROMs, click here to see the latest update.

Hello,
I found an old J3 that was kept in a drawer since purchase. It now runs stock android 5.1.1 and I wondered what could I install on it without being too adventurous with roms.
Thanks

5.1.1 is the newest on easy-firmware. Don't know if there are custom ones or not.
