stock ROM, or custom? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks.
I will soon have an S5 in my possession. I've never owned a Samsung phone before, so my first question is - should I stick w/ the stock ROM (I understand the most recent version for this phone is 6.0.1), or should I install a custom? Are there any serious drawbacks with the stock ROM (bloatware, etc)? What improvements would I see with a custom ROM?
Thanks.

Hi,
it really depends of what are you looking for. If you want to get the latest features and updates, go Custom.
if you only use your phone to make calls, take nice photos, Games, etc. Stay in Original, although, you have some Debloated 6.0.1 ROMs that do the work just fine.
Cheers,

My S5 is the Sprint (G900P, Snapdragon) variety. Is there a default/easiest root method? Is there a preferred recovery to use?
Thanks.

Way to go is custom ROM, and that mostly due to bloatware.
ROM, root, recovery are personal choices dependent of your wishes/needs.
And S5 is rich with choices. For some reason, I was/am happy with stock ROM.
So I see a lot of reading in your future...

I am owning the GS5 for 1.5 year or so, and I can't remember how many times I have returned back to stock after 2-3 days of custom. I don't know why, I am just a random user who is using phone for social media and calls. Rarely playing any games but any ROM I tried it had some problems which I couldn't keep.

Performance and feature --> go with custom ROM. Have a good adventure..!
Stability and battery life --> always.. stock ROM

Easiest with Magisk. TWRP recovery recommended.

ive got the tmobile version and love the thing. im on lineage 14.1 and its stable as crap. can use the sd card as adptive storage and that opens alot of room up.

with good light they are both good with less light stock is better

If you want the latest features from the new S9, go to NOISE ROM v3. This ROM is amazing !

what is the best stock rom for battery life and performance?

Best stock..? Stock is stock lol. Anyway, I'm using Boeffla Kernel on stock ROM and did the following things to get better battery life without actually compromising my phone:
1. In Boeffla Config under CPU I set the maximum clock speed to 1728 MHz, selected "Optimized" as Hotplug profile, selected "Aggressive" as Multicore powersave and selected "undervolt -75mV" as UV Profile.
2. In Boeffla Config under GPU I set the minimum clock speed to 27 MHz.
3. I've bought and installed Amplify (needs Xposed to work) and have limited the following wakelocks all to 600 seconds:
- GCoreFlp
- *net_scheduker*
- Wakeful StateMachine: GeofencerStateMachine
- LocationManagerService
- SyncLoopWakeLock
- Icing
- NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock
- NlpWakeLock
- NetworkStats
- StartingAlertService
- GpsLocationProvider
- AudioIn
- NlpCollectorWakeLock
**Under 'Alarms' I've limited the following alarm: com.android.internal.telephony.data-stall again to 600 seconds.
4. I've bought and installed Greenify and have the following apps set to automatically hibernate on screen-off:
- Blackmart
- Instagram
- Facebook Lite
- Peel Remote
- Spotify
- Video Player (stock one)
- Notes (stock one)
**The selected mode is 'Root + Boost (Xposed)', 'Automatic hibernation' is ticked, 'Extras for Geek' is also ticked, everything under 'Xposed based options' is also ticked and 'Wake-up Tracking and Cut-off' is also allowed.
5. Other than that I have Auto-Sync off unless phone is charging (using Tasker for this), WiFi at home, Bluetooth on only when I need it, GPS on power saving unless I need it on high accuracy (again, Tasker), no power saving mode activated, mobile data is set to 2G/3G mode (no 4G as I don't need it anyway, YouTube is fine on 3G so it's enough for me), Screen Rotation is on, Smart Stay is on, Multi Window is on, Increased sensitivity is on. I also have my 5 most used apps always open in RAM (Telegram, Whatsapp, Poweramp, Gallery-not stock one, Facebook Messenger Lite).
I'm still testing but the phone feels significantly cooler than before and I think battery life is actually noticably better than before, yet the phone works as it should (I don't play games or run super heavy apps).

Nemesis is not stock, it's a hugely customized one ;d stock ROM is the one which came with the S5.

TW modded rom is better than the custom rom like lineage for battery life and camera, isn't?

[Q][How to] set DNS, Freeing RAM, improove battery, set FF bookmarks widget

Hi, finally here I am with my new Nexus 4. Through different devices that i disliked (like Acer LM, Nexus S in part), now I see a very good phone that does like everything. So here I wanna clear all my (and ours) main doubts regarding settings or tools that improves it. I red a lot in this and in a great italian forum, but some matter isn' t totally understood by people so informations may be subjectives and not in the same way.
So let's start
1- in the beginning of my history with android, 4 years ago, I thougt that 3g data with a good company works perfect with normal settings. But since 2 years I'm using a good and necessary app, Rom Toolbox. It also backup apps, but here it's important the set DNS function. In the past I saw improovements tapping Google DNS, internet was fast, but now, for example, using google search, it takes 2-3 seconds for showing results.
Why this "connection freezing"? Maybe other settings may be helpful for connection ?
ex."auto apply wifi/mobile network tapped, or improove dwd speed in some way...
2- A) I see that some rom users has wonderful battery experience. I would like me too , so I tried CodeFire X + matr1x 7.5 .
It has 10 days of life, but I would like to set everything, so : I need to do the undervolt fix, in addiction to the matr1x kernel (probably already undervolted), or this isn' t necessary?
Do you think that exists better ROMs regarding fluidity/battery improovements? Here I have 0 lag, for now (with a lot of apps installed with no notifications drains).
But I'm not very happy regarding battery: 2hours 22minutes, now 79% with 38% screen (46min), 32% phone calls (18min), 6% android and 4% firefox, connected with 3g (low use).
B) I tried Easy battery saver, i'm so uncertain regarding this kind of apps, because users opinion is so differents, like the choice (EBS, JD,2xB, Green Power). I choice this one only for download and stars rating.
But also Snapdragon may be good. For now, i found on them the lolzful situations: people that talks about 24 hours improovment(!!!) and a lot of people that is very happy, but on the other side others that says that process drains a lot of battery.
I think, at the end, that probably one of this apps may be good for battery, and you? If yes, I can't understand the best one.
3- A) android assistant: I can't understand if the "clear process" widget really free RAM or not. In the past I also red that task killing isn't good for android, but freeing RAM may be good (if apps are really closed, and don't re-open after memory release).
on nexus s I loved to close all processes with it's icon on the bottom of the screen. Now isn' t included (stock included, dunno why), so I can use Android Assistant as substitute?
B) boot assistant on AA really closes all app that i tap? I have everything blocked, like 10-15 processes ,unless sms and 2 widget.
4- I passed 4 hours for understand that dolphin can't import firefox bookmarks, it can't see folders. So I tried FF for android and now oviously they sync and passed everything. But I can't understand how to set FF bookmarks widget, no apps or ways to do it. If not, it's also perfect having a FF bookmarks shortcut
I red about a way to pass them on stock browser, ok , but after I can see on the stock widget all my folders and bookmarks inside?
5- FastGPS is always useful for improoving GPS signal?
please help!!
give me knowledge!!

Hi,
Wrong, it's 99 % user related... (CPU settings -> overclock / underclock / undervolt / governor, brightness, sync -> mails / meteo / social network, rogue apps, data -> Wi-Fi / 3g, reception, usage -> games / browsing or just sms, etc...)...
Yes sometimes a bad battery life can be due to the kernel (bad kernel wakelocks) like sometimes a custom kernel can correct some weird little issues with battery life compared to the stock kernel, but people tend to believe that the kernel or the rom that makes your battery life and ONLY this. It's mainly the user... at least at 95 % of the time.
Don't blame the kernel if you have a rogue app, if you don't know how to use / set your phone (or your CPU) / set your apps correctly for better battery life...

i use autostarts for editing what happens when and if it happens at all (IE when you change network setting or plug phone to pc or install app there is processes triggered by these actions and more. this app allows you to control what runs and what gets forgotten {i disable all widgets that don't use etc})
also cpu tuner allows my gf phone to have multiple "triggers" for cpu IE 100% when screen on and active 80% when screen on but not active and down we go to 30% of cpu power while screen is off again 100% in case you get phonecall or plug in power source (all to be set to your own liking) and i stick with interactive governor but performance might be needed as i dont know what you want to run
IO found THIS thread
3 make full nandroid backup and flash it seems good but considering you on Cr3pt's ROM most of it will be there already so only minor increase in performance if any
4 Q: have you used it in last month or so ? A: no ? So freeze that app (better to stay away from system apps thats for advanced users[i still freeze all live wallpaper related stuff google talk, weather widget etc])
MAKE SURE TO DO FULL NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE USING ROM TOOLBOX(and stay away from boot animations/fonts)

Speed up your i9000 Tips Compilation

Hi everybody!
As i am pretty mad about the slow responsiveness of my i9000, i would like to have everybody to tell the world some tips to help each other in making this phone faster.
My tips:
Use KitKat, Slimrom if possible (SlimKat weekly)
Install mackay kernel, or his bigmem libs.
Use ES Task Manager to remove autorunning apps.
Even like this, i get slowness after a couple of days of use.
What are your tips ? Is it responsive ?
Cheerios!
Ok right now working faster with slimkat latest versión with semaphore Ruth live OC 104% and sd card read ahead at 1024.
Waaay smoother.
I hope it keeps like this a couple of days
Enviado desde mi GameBoy Color
nice to know that :laugh:
Interesting topic :good:
Here's my tips:
ROM: Gamerzrom 4.0, altough I think "Mackay ICS 2014" it's the faster but it lacks some features as quick sms;
Kernel: "Devil4.3_galaxysmtd_20131022" with the following settings: Scheduler: SIO; dynamic fsync: off; governor: ondemand; min freq: 400MHz and max freq: 1000MHz; no OC; deep idle: off; smooth ui: on; sampling rate: 30000; up threshold: 50%; sampling down factor: 4step; eraly demand: off; RAM: 395mb; no zRAM; no swap; no KSM; (most of this settings are the default from gamerzrom)
Other settings: 16bit transparency: on; dithering: color band fix only;
Apps that help: "seeder 2.0" (rng service performance profile: light) and "greenify" (hibernate all apps except launcher and seeder);
Frozed apps with titanium backup: DSPmanager; ES file explorer; videoeditor; terminal emulator; trebuchet;
Launcher: Apex;
Ill try those settings and report back!
Enviado desde mi GameBoy Color
well my phone is lagging as hell too.Maybe ICS is the only solution to our problems?!?
I ve tried many 4.2 ,4.3 and 4.4 roms but after a month of use they all end up lagging even without any extra apps installed.
Can i install ics on top of kitkat or do i need to install gb stock first with odin?
Installing ICS on top of KK will cause bootloop. I think you need to flash GB with Odin (XWJVZ i.e.) then root it with Semaphore or CF-Root kernel. Then finally you can flash any higher Android builds by CWM. I prefer Mackay ICS 1.7. IMO the ROM with best performance. Good luck.
Wysłane z mojego GT-I9000
I don't know what's wrong with either of you people, but my i9000 is on KK 4.4.2 OmniROM Nightlies running alongside Semaphore 3.4.3s with Bigmem enabled (396 MB off and 408 MB on). Everything else is in my signature tab. Also, I've got 42 user apps in my phone (120 odd in total) but still smooth as butter.
Also, in Antutu I score 5400 without OC and 5900 at 110% Live OC.
For Smooth Kitkat on Galaxy i9000. Includes some basics as well.
1. Install Slimkat Weekly
2. Install Minimal Gapps (if required)
3. Remove Unnecessary System Apps with Slimsizer
Browser.apk and Chromebookmarksyncadapter.apk --> replace with lightweight browser eg. Lightning, Puffin or Naked browser
Gmail.apk, Email.apk and Exchange.apk --> Replace with K9Mail (OR keep just Gmail and forward everything from your Exchange Email)
Gallery.apk --> replace with lightweight gallery e.g. Quickpic (Camera still works fine)
Hangouts.apk --> Use normal messaging app
LatinIME.apk and UserDictionaryProvider.apk --> Replace with Swiftkey or Swype
NovaLauncher.apk --> replace with lightweight launcher e.g. Smart Launcher 2 (AND remove all animations from Launcher Settings)
Livewallpaperspicker.apk, phasebeam.apk, phototable.apk, visualizationwallpapers.apk --> Don't need fancy live wallpapers, otherwise get new phone
OTHERS that are safe to delete and you probably don't need (e.g. BasicDreams.apk, CloudPrint2.apk, Dashclock.apk, DSPManager.apk, HTMLViewer.apk, Music.apk, SlimIRC.apk, SoundRecorder.apk)
4. Get rid of animations. Go to Settings --> Developer Options and set 'Window Animation Scale' and 'Transition Animation Scale' to OFF. And set 'Animator Duration Scale' to 0.25x (to prevent the dialer keypad glitch).
5. Install Semaphore Manager from Playstore, then ensure LiveOC is 105%, Ondemand governor, Minimum 105Mhz, Maximum 1050Mhz, NOOP scheduler, and Bigmem is ticked (before reboot you must go to camera and ensure video is on 480p else it will force close on 720p)
6. Install Xposed Installer --> Add Bootmanager (highlight anything that don't have widgets or u don't need notifications from), and Greenify (hibernate anything that don't have widgets and u don't need notifications rom. Also, do not hibernate keyboard)
7. Wifi Advanced Settings --> Untick Scanning Always Available. Also ensure Location is on Battery Saving. Switch OFF Wifi, Bluetooth, and Location when you dont need it.
8. Settings --> Sound --> Untick Vibration on Touch and Touch Sounds (Also do this in your Keyboard Settings)
9. Accounts --> Untick syncing of items you dont need (e.g. Only tick contacts and gmail)
10. Settings --> Advanced Options --> MediaScanner behavior on boot --> Do Not Scan Media
11. Only install/restore apps you use frequently. Other Backup-Uninstall with Titanium Backup and Restore when required.
12. Keep widgets to a minimum
13. Restart your phone daily
Currently put CyanAOSP on an i9000 and it's running great. Overclocking to 1200Mhz seems to cause crashes though.
Switch kernel perhaps?
Currently on CM11 M5 snapshot with Semaphore 3.4.3 kernel, and its buttery smooth so far. M6 snapshot is giving UI crashes
OC Min @ 240 MHz and Max @ 1200 MHz, no crashes. SmartassV2 Governor, Smooth UI on, NOOP Scheduler, bigmems off, Deep Idle off, Touch wake on 30 sec
i ve just formated my phone back to stock 2.3.6 jw7 and root it with cf-root.I just cant believe how much smoother and faster gb is!
You guys should try the OmniROM+Neo Kernel Combination. You'll love it
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTT, sent from my i9000
I prefer ICS, too, although it has more bugs than JB or KK...
It is not perfect, but in general useable!
Do not use the phone's features for performance. I think it's entirely relevant to the developer. With the rest of the kernel can handle.
Sorry bad English.
Up! Has anyone still use this phone and with a ROM? So yeah, how is it? Is there any tutorial of it?

What do you expect from the new custom stock that I am making?

Just to know if you guys want something for my rom​
Battery Life. Even Underclocking isn't increasing battery life with BORETS24's kernel, do something that'll increase the SOT ! I don't get more than 3 hours of SOT with any ROM, Kernel.
Stable gps during using waze or other gps app....no more gps lost connection plz
i would expect a simple build, with no bloadware and of course stable even with a a501cg. iirc most problem are with that device.
list of expectations(mine and the others)
- stable
- no bloadware
- simple installing/autoinstaller (there is a simple-to-customize autoinstaller mentioned in this forum)
- possible to choose gapps installing by choice in one install process.
- gps
- led functional
- battery life
Simple Rom (like a pizza without any topping. User can select toppings )
Stability (GPS, wifi, data connection, bluetooth, and of course the device itself. Sudden restart is really terrible.)
DT2W/S
Battery life
LED with color (if possible)
I'd love to have another UI. To get the CM12.1 drop-down menu instead of Asus one.
Provide and alternative to borets' kernel: it has great features, but for me was and keeps to be more battery eating (I think due to the dt2w and overclock integration) than even a stock one.

My "Perfect" Build v1.0 - Guide (Custom Kernel, tune, zips, apks, libs, sound, vids)
Below you will find a detailed plan on how to get the absolute most out of your Moto G 2015. I've spent countless hours testing and tuning -- coming up with the setup shown here. Its unbelievably fast and effective, with top tier battery life, and an amazing and unmatched sound system.
Requirements (all downloads listed here are found on XDA, along with their threads for support and security verification)
*Flashables* (All found on XDA)
-CM13 Based Rom (I prefer crDroid, but also CM13 Official Nightly, and Temeseks CM13)
-G-Apps Pico 6.0 (latest version. you can install higher levels of gapps if you so desire, but pico will work just fine)
-Inazuma R3 Kernel
-Optimus R6 Kernel
-PDB-ABS Tweaks v5.0 (init.d Scripts, build props, etc)
-Project Skynet Genesys TX6
-PMB SQlite3 Engine Database v5.1

I would recommend that you start entirely fresh -- full wipe, then clean install the rom/kernel/and zips.
...Lets Begin!!
Initial Setup:
-Download all the required apk programs and flashable zips, as well as the latest versions of a CM13 stable ROM (I prefer CrDroid for all out speed and stability)
-Wipe (or factory reset), then clean install in this order:
a)xxxxx CM13 Stable Rom
b)Open gApps 6.0 Pico
c)Inazuma R3 Kernel
d)Optimus R6 (NOT R7!!)
e)Project Skynet Genesys TX6
f)FeraDroid Engine v0.20 Beta 3
g)PMB SQlite3 Engine Database v5.1
h)PDB-ABS Tweaks v5.0
i)Xtreme Music v7.03
j)Divine Beats Dolby Atmos v5.0
*THERE IS A MAX of 10 ZIPS in the QUEUE. After you flash the initial 10, you can flash this next one.*
k)Bravia Engine v4 and X-Reality Engine Port
It will take about 5 minutes to flash all the zips listed above, but trust me... its worth it!
-Once all zips are flashed, wipe cache/davlik, then reboot.
-Run through setup, unchecking every single option along the way.
-Once loaded to the home screen, be sure to make your SD Card portable or permanent. (I prefer portable)
Initial Tweaks/Settings
-Enable Developer Options
1)2d gpu rendering
2)animation scaled down to lowest setting
3)advanced reboot menu
4)root enable and adb
-"MORE" (below wifi and data)
6)Emergency Broadcasts ALL OFF
-Sound
1)Vibrate on Touch OFF
2)Intensity 0%
-Display
1)low brightness level
2)adaptive OFF
3)Ambient OFF
4)Live Display OFF
5)Double Tap ON
6)Sleep 30 seconds
7)Wake up on plug OFF
8)Daydream OFF
9)Battery Light OFF
-Security
1)Unknown Sources
-System Profiles OFF
-Privacy
1)Block private
2)Block unknown calls/messages
-Location
1)OFF
2)Scanning OFF

Click to collapse
Install all APKs from the download list:

Next, run command #3, and set the mode to balanced for everyday use, battery for low performance/good battery backup, and gaming for extreme performance with less regard for battery life. After completing this step, run command #4.
On this menu, run the following commands:
#1 Xtreme Renices (Places urgent priority on principle processes)****optional*** some ROMs have difficulty with this. Heating issues possible.
#3 Scaling + (lower power use and performance during deepsleep)
#4 WiFi Sleep (allows quicker dormancy of the wifi during inactivity)
#6 KSM (Memory Mergining, Same Page Merging of data used by multiple processes)
**#7 Google Killer (*OPTIONAL* Kills Google appls for battery life extension)
#8 Touch Screen Tweak (Improves responsiveness and reactivity of the touch screen. *OPTIONAL* If the earlier ABS build prop tweak did the trick, then you can skip this one. However, if it didn't give you the results you were looking for, I'd recommend trying this one.)
#9 Netboost - Some additional internet boosting tweaks
#10 Assertive Display - An advanced display manager for Qualcomm Hardware. Its a night/day difference for those who haven't used it before. It takes ambient and live display to a whole new level. Giving you clarity and depth in practically ANY light conditions.

With that all said and done.
Its been a pleasure, researching all of the tweaks and tunes available. I'm sure that those who are more experienced than me have came up with better ideas, but for this hillbilly from kentucky... its the best I can do! I love this phone, and the performance it offers for budget pricing!
Sorry its so long, and probably difficult to understand. But I hope you appreciate the work I put into it. There's a few revisions I plan on making to increase battery life, with the help of xposed, greenify, amplify, wakelock tuning, etc. And I didn't really get around to talking about the sound lib and progs we installed. I can assure you, there's nothing placebo about viper4android 2.4.01, dolby atmos, xtreme music, and about a dozen or so libraries that are log proveable as working. The bravia v4 Xreality engine.... I just started using it, and haven't had time to really test it out... but it *should* give us an increase in graphic quality, especially in regards to pictures and videos. In the coming days I'll be adding a new section to further increase audio, productivity, graphics, and battery life. But for now..... this is what ya get! REMEMBER THOUGH..... SELinux MUST BE SET TO PERMISSIVE for Xtreme Music Libs to work correctly. You'll be grateful that you did!
Thank you for reading, and I hope you get as much out of it all as I did.
Have a great weekend guys! and gals!
Feel free to cherry pick, add, remove, tweak, etc. No negative talk. If you don't like my work, do your own build. But if you have something constructive to say, questions to ask, or thoughts to add.... I'd be super grateful, and pleased to read them! My goal is to get the smoothest, fastest, and longest lasting battery as possible... . blended into one neat package.
I'll have to try this when I have time. Thanks for the extensive list of tweaks and addons!
@bubbyj
Thanks mate, looks good.
Would be good that you add the links for each item we have to download.
CPU frequency doesn't go down stays at 1,4 GHz heats up my phone..
Do we have to install Inazuma AND Optimus kernels or choose one?

I put the wrong entropy levels in. It should be 64-128 read and 128-256 write. That cleared it up on my end. Otherwise check your CPU settings. Down threshold 50-60, up 80-85, step 12-16, conservative gov, conservative hotplug profile, intelliplug active, touch disabled in all locations. Sync disabled. Boost 0ms. If this fails, post screenshots of kernel auditor, each section. We will correct the problem for you.
-------
Yes, the inazuma provides a few options that optimus r6 and r7 don't. And vice versa. And because optimys uses any kernel, it simply overlays its settings on top of the existing one.
R7 has 1401 oc, but loses the intelliplug hotplug. It also loses adreno idler. And has a r6 few unique features added compared to inazuma r3. So by installing r3, then dirty flashing optimus r6, you get a hybrid kernel that offers the best of both. You get all freqs from 200 to 1401, with an added 300mhz state. You get intelliplug hotplugging. You get GPU oc and under clock of 100mhz for extreme battery savings and retain the adreno idler. You get all of optimus optimizations and updates, as well as all the governors and schedulers combined. Its really an awesome kernel that results in crossbreeding the two.
Edited the original post. Made extreme renices optional, fixed entropy causing CPU loading (now 64/128 or 128/256, whichever works best for your usage). Also removed battery optimize from ABS tweaks. It works well, but may cause lags.
It works fine without skynet and abs but the moment i flash any of those two the cpu jumps ans stays at 1,4 ghz
Where do you get R6? I can't find a link only for r7

Any update on the kernel setup?
Can someone just send me direct links to the correct version of each flashable files I need to download? I've tried doing this myself multiple times, but once it flashes the "audio enhancer" files it starts to say "unable to mount /data" and "unable to mount /storage" in the TWRP log, and when I reboot into the device, it takes a few minutes to "optimze apps" then it just sends me to the Cyanogenmod boot screen and it stays there. I really shouldn't be asking you guys for something like this but I've had to, multiple times, wipe my data and I'm just getting a bit frustrated since I really want to try this build. Thanks in advance.
OMG man, you give me another mobile with this tutorial, thank you very much mate!!!

The problem with skynet is the jump in entropy settings to like 2048 or so, that automatically occurs on some phones. This causes the cpu to lock in at 1.4ghz and pretty much stay there, and loading at 60-80%. I'm going to be offering a brand new build based around the AOSP roms that are popping up everywhere. I'm currently testing it thoroughly. Expect a new thread with a smoother, faster, snappier, and cooler running phone based around this new platform -- probably by the end of the week.
It will include an entropy fix with it. My current settings are 1536 and 256 (read-write) and it does great!
And just one more thing --- along with the new build I'll be offering, I'm also working on an intense battery build. I understand fully that not everyone is interested in squeezing out every last bit of performance and instead desire a usable phone that lasts much longer between charges. I've been working on it off and on for about 3-4 weeks now and have found some amazing tweaks and mods that'll accomplish that goal. The hardest part for me, is being an all out performance nut --- I lose interest in increasing battery life once the performance aspect starts to suffer. With that said, I'm going to be putting my wants to the side and focus much more on the community.
MAJOR UPDATE INFO:
It has came to my attention in the last week or so, that the latest builds of MM --- CM13 based --- DO NOT WORK WITH THE INAZUMA R3 and Optimus R6!! It will bootloop indefinetly. Only versions of CM based roms from prior to about 4/10/2016 will work with it. I've read about it on a few other threads, and tested it myself. It DOES NOT work. It appears to be a problem with the Inazuma R3 Kernel (you can view the thread to see a few people saying the kernel bootloops on the latest versions). The developer is apparently aware and is working on a fix.
As far as the 'unable to mount' /data issue, this occurs now and then with flashables. For me, the fix is to reboot twrp back into the recovery. Don't reboot system. Just reboot recovery, then continue to add your selections. The one that does it most often is the PMB SqLite3 database 5.1 --- and thats about 99% of the time. Hence, I install it at the very last.
I want to apologize for the problems that people have been having, many were my fault and I take responsibility for that. Luckily, everything is fixable and you can always return to your previous setup without issue.
AOSP Version 1.0 will be released by Friday evening.
CM13 version 2.0 will be released shortly after, with fixes to all the issues that have been brought up on here. Thank you again for point the problems out, and giving this a try. See you guys soon!
Check this tool >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/orig-development/mod-maxopt-battery-saver-tuner-t2955539/ it does miracles to the battery life and multitasking, before flashing put your phone on airplane mode and do a nandroid backup
