Hey

Aurora

Install all the tree and make your choice
Sent from my Huawei Ideos X5 using xda premium
well I want...
improved functions
radio
longer battery life
no essential fails (like no haptic feedback or missing wifi ..etc like the official GB)
play games that froyo can't
i think you must try it one by one.
I would choose a .32 kernel based ROM, as they are still more stable at the moment. Oxygen by dzo would be my first choice
Which rom is stable and less bug?
i am newbie..
I Have Tried Lots Of ROM. I Can Say Best ROM It CM7 Till Now.
The first thing I did when I bought my phone summer last year, was root it and install a custom rom. Didn't even boot it to look at the stock set up first!
First rom I installed was Oxygen, and I have it say it worked great. Stable, fast, good battery life, and never had any problems.
Last month I decided I needed a change, not because there was anything wrong with Oxygen, but just because once in a while I like to play around with different roms.
Tried Aurora, and have to say it's great. Not quite as speedy as Oxygen and battery doesn't last as long, but pretty and damn stable, haven't had a crash yet.
Tried MIUI one afternoon, but not to my liking, too far from the Android experience imo.
Can't go wrong with either Oxygen or Aurora, depending on what you're looking for.
Hello everyone
I have a I9500 with Exynos processor running android 5.0.1, Baseband- I9500DDUHOA1, Build number- XXUHOF3.
I was generally happy with My phone but all hell broke lose after last update. Battery life doesnt last more than 2-3 hours. GPS doesnt lock at all. The phone hangs too much. Wifi signal is poor.
I can factory reset the phone (Since I didnt do it since several OTA updates) but I am wondering even that might not solve the problem and I should flash some good and stable ROM.
My issue is I Dont Know which one is a good and stable ROM. There are so many options and I feel very lost. Therefore I would be thankful if anyone can guide Me to which ROM should I install. My goal is simple- a fast working stable phone. Nothing fancy required.
I have flashed ROMS on My earlier phone Galaxy S (I9000) so I am not a novice and can do it if instructions are provided in the thread.
Thanks in advance.
Fast shouldn't be an issue, since practically any custom rom is faster than touchwiz.
I don't know much about the I9500 roms since I, myself, haven an I9505. But there is a rom called ressurection remix which seems to be available for both devices. I'm running it now and its fast and stable so far.
I'm using slimkat ASOP rom and it's nice and stable
Thanks for the replies. How is the default Cynagonmod? Any good?
Cm 12.1
Default Cm is maintained by Alberto with someone else .
If you want best cm experience use his own Gearcm 11,12,12.1 builds .
They are currently at a more advanced level of development than his own official Cm builds .
All are good . Look it up in original android i9500 forum .
Try gearcm 12.1 optimized by alberto96. It is rock stable,performance is also good. U can find it in i9500 original android development. Enjoy
And also for TW based rom halcyon rom is very much popular, u can find it in i9500 android development.
Thanks a lot for replies. Would it be possible to point Me to a link for downloading and installing this. I guess I should try with Gear CM 12.1?
Hows the gps and battery life on that?

Look here on xda we expect you to find it yourself. There is an entire section dedicated to custom roms.
Hi All,
I have had my Galaxy S 4 (I9505) for a while now but it is still running android 4.3.
I was hoping to update it to 5.0.1 but when I plugged it into my PC, Kies said 'This device is unsupported'
I want to flash a new rom onto it (I have done this in the past with a samsung tablet)
I was just wanting some feedback as to what is regarded as a good rom for it these days. Should I go a standard stock rom from sammobile or are there custom roms out there that perform better?
Thanks for any help and advice.
Daniel
Custom roms give you more performance. Stock roms tend to lag here and there, from what I saw in rom reviews.
If you want a minimalist rom, go for CM12 or Slim roms. They have very few features.
If you want lots of features, go for AICP or Resurrection Remix. These two combine the most popular features from other roms (I personally use Resurrection Remix).
And there are the GPE roms. I don't know how GPE 5.1 is, but on 5.0 the rom was rock solid and everything worked.
I can't say anythinv about stock touchwiz because, since I changed I never went back

Try a custom S6 Touchwiz ROM for your phone model - you'll be pleasantly surprised by the new look, feel and performance. I know I am!
I tried CM but not such a big fan... Experiment a bit until you find what you were ALWAYS looking for!
You try to consider CM 12.1 or GPE Roms. The major disadvantage is the camera quality and some multitasking features on TW, but it's hella fast and smooth.

Roms
I would recommend Cyanogenmod but sometimes it comes with some problems. Check out first which is the stable version for s4.
Also, I would recommend the WickedRom which is great and great performance. And the WanamLite Rom is amazing if you would like to tune your mobile , for example gpu or cpu in higher frequencies or even set custom gestures and etc.( but remember to be careful with those why you might break your phone

it's like you have already a custom rom, or a rooted & modified stock rom !.

go for Resurrection Remix like said: GDReaper, or may be BlissPOP ( with terrible battery drain for me).
I tried just the straight CM 12 rom and it was okay, but once I put on the one of the Optimized CM 12.1 roms I got better battery life and faster performance, but also lost a few features, got a few bugs, but so far so good. It really depends what you want.
If you are willing to have a few crashes, bugs you can put on the newest rom builds, but if you want stable, then going for the older well established ones may be a better option.

I have to correct you here buddy It's almost always better to pick the latest CM build. Because it's a work in progress, every new build has a lot fixes.
I'm curious though to what bugs you are referring to. I used it pretty long and I found it almost to be bugfree. Besides the obvious difficulty's with bluetooth.

Hey Lenny, the official CM builds I have never had an issue with (except nightlies of course) however when we get into the custom ROM world such as Slimroms, modified CM builds etc I do tend to hit a few bugs, such as crashes of apps, however often those builds then become stable.
Hope that makes more sense?
The only good advice is to just use stock roms. It's stable, no bugs, no issues. The only thing that pisses you off is the laggggggg!
Hello, I got my cousin's Redmi 2, so I was hoping to put Custom ROMs. I've been searching around, but didn't seem to find the best stable ROM. I need a daily driver, and it doesn't need to be Marshmallow, but an upgrade from KitKat would be nice. I love the Lollipop UI. But still, I give my preference to the most stable ROM, since I don't want juggle around every single custom ROM available.
Thank You!
UPDATE 21/03.
Thank you guys for the poll! MIUI was getting all RAM sucky so I needed to get a Custom ROM. I've tried Nexus Experience, Resurrection Remix, HTC Remix, and Kuma's CyanogenMod 13.
Nexus Experience: It has same user interface you get from Nexus, but it lacks multitasking capabilities. Besides most of the ROMs in stock looks like this, so I wouldn't recommend this. Link to Download, Credits:Nexus Exp. team
HTC Remix: This ROM is bulky in size, I've waited for 3-4 hrs for it to complete the download, and when I installed, the recovery ended with an error. But from the reviews, it said it has some camera bugs with the stock cam but Snapdragon cam is working. It didn't have the HTC Dialer also. If you switched from an HTC and want the HTC UI, you should take this. Link to Download, Credits:(--light--)
Resurrection Remix: This ROM was good, but compared to CM13, this ROM sucked battery more and at the first boot, the status bar had some lag issues, but after one or two reboots, it was working perfect. Besides that, no problem, this is the second best ROM. Link to Download, Credits:nick37332001
Kumajaya's CM13: This is by far the best ROM I've tried. Battery is the best, considerable less lag while multi-tasking, good gaming performance, and the basic MM UI. I didn't find any bugs at all. If you're looking for the best ROM, this is the one. Link to Download Credits:ketut.kumajaya
I've also found that, newbies to ROM flashing tend to think Official ROMs and Builds are better than Unofficial ones. This is a wrong perception. Kuma's build's are unofficial, but it had a much better performance compared to Nexus Experience. What counts is how much work the devs put into this.
Hope this thread becomes helpful to both users as well as developers. Great work, devs. Hope you keep up the good work.
Hello Venkatesh, Im using 2014818 too. Can you tell me which ROM are you using? Also, even after I flashed Custom recovery, I still see stock recovery, but from there Im able to access TWRP. is this expected behavior? Please tell stable roms for Redmi 2 2014818

Blisspop ROM
I have flashed Blisspop ROM, run smoothly until now ( more than 2 days)
Kumajaya's Marshmellow as daily driver. Using since last december, never crash-rebooted and rare bugs. Battery could have been better. And camera, obviously you can't beat MIUI's stock camera but it's all right.
cm 13 by kuma is already stable because basic functionality of redmi 2 is now working been using till now
Thanks guys! I've updated my OP, with reviews.
@rohitaar I'm too on cm 13 its smooth stable,but have you tried aosp caf,if yes how's it? I like idea of pure aosp ROM on which I could use xposed if I want any feature.Please review it if you can
I must add the (at least) here, none of the MM ROMs has a working adb, and some of has GPS issues

Do not believe this guy, I've been using ADB for like every ROM to batch install the APKs which I've backed up from the Stock MIUI.
ADB works perfectly. Also, I love Here Maps more than Google Maps, and it has no problems at all. Brother, if you have any issues with your phone, you should check it with the manufacturers, or at least other users, see if they have any issues.

@rohitsonone No.. I had a look at it, but the UI seemed too Ice-Sandwich type! You see the screenshots! Guess I'm happy with CM13! You can use xposed in CM 13, no problems, although I don't want any tweaks.
I dont think kuma's cm13 ROM has best battery. I mean it is not to hurt him, but the marshmallow changes which forces us to enable gps for wifi functionality is the thief. It sucks battery like hell. But cm13 of kuma had awesome camera and it had no lags at all !! Very clean and smooth UI. As the kernel source has been released for redmi 2 we will have wait for some good battery management tweaks. PS: I am using kuma's cm12.1 as my daily driver and it has no problem at all except camera quality and the battery management(better than cm13 but still . . .)
can anyone help me with the audio bug? {audio playing with speaker and headphones.} the roms i used tends to work normally for 10 reboots. but after some reboots the audio bug kicks in. audio playing with speaker and headphones. hope thats the bug with roms. I have used Ressurection Remix both 5.1 and 6.0.
So our galaxy s5 is 4 years old now and it is still the main device of many users as we know there are great roms for this phone now snapdragon and as well as exynos so i want to know what is your current rom and why(post screenshot if you like to)
My daily driver is : dotOS 2.3.1
Why: cause it is fast stable and it's has latest version of Android(oreo) and some of Android P style and theme and the best part of it it doesn't lag no matter what you install
And also used nemsis reborn v5 and it is the best of s8(note7) port
Thanks
Hope you all replay

I use an LG G6 as my main device, but I use my S5 a lot... and I have to say Resurrection Remix (based on LineageOS/android 8.1.0) is amazing.... (I don''t use data, so I haven't tested that part) The UI is responsive, it runs great, super customizable, love it! (also kinda funny that the S9 doesn't officially have 8.1 yet, but someone made a ROM for 8.1 on the S5 :/)

Yeah rr oreo is great also but they are really slow to bring updates to oreo ( i don't why) but in naught there was a lot of updates
Thanks again
stock rom, very stable, compatible and battery frienldy
My S5 is running still great !
Using it to type this. Running lineage 14.1 updated all the way to 15. Heard it was buggy so i didn't update to Lineage 15
Daily driver till September. Hah it for 3 years
Using almost a month: noise rom v4, sparkplug kernel, magisk manager and s health working great. Having little issues with bluetooth speakers/earpods (need to switch on/off 2 times to listen something), and battery duration it almost a day, with gps and sync turned on. If there any rom to use daily, that is noise rom :good:
How is the battery life compared to stock? Especially screen on time?

use a galaxy a8 as a daily phone and the s5 as a second phone use linage os 15.1 official; the phone is fuido like never before. thank you all for the hard work
For me, it's LineageOS. But I cannot use it due to some strange sound problems, that's why I'm looking for an alternative that has OTA update included.
The stock isn't that good because it's bloated, you cannot do much without root, and if you root the stock rom, you wouldn't be able to install OTA updates, you'll need a computer or something to make it manually, on S5 stock rom you mix the sdcard + manual to get more space. The only 2 things that the stock rom are good for, IMO, it's the battery.. it lasts longer. Also, the camera is better, using any ROM, even with xposed, you can't get much when talking about the camera. The stock will always be better than any available rom.
My daily driver was the "xXx NoLimits" -Rom, which is based on stock.
The main point why it was this rom is the battery drain. LineageOS 14.1 especially 15 has a very high battery drain, so I've downgraded to Stock Rom and was happy
I like it, that LineageOS has a very good performance and clean design, but battery time is everything for me
Another point is the camera, because the camera in LineageOS isn't that good like the stock camera from Samsung-Roms.
LineageOS based roms do have much features and are smaller but at the end the stock rom wins for me :fingers-crossed:
After some trouble and frustration I'll stick with Resurrection Remix 6.1 (Oreo 8.1). It uses much less memory, is stable and fast. Amazing. It feels like I got a brand new phone. The S5 is a decent device. I use it extensively and don't see any reasons why I should buy a newer model.

What's about battery drain?
I've made the experience that the battery life is very bad with Oreo Roms ?
I never liked stock based ROMs so the only ones I've actually used are TouchWiz ones and the best from those is Nemesis Reborn. But recently I decided to go back to stock S5 ROM to get the most out of my device as nothing beats the firmware with which your phone came when new. I'll be buying the Note 10 after the S11 comes out so will stick to my S5 for another 1.5 years, bought it in February 2015.
l have a crDROID 7.1.2 klte v3.8.5 rom on my s5 and it runs great.
lve tried a couple of 8.1 roms but for some reason everytime l turn on or restart
my s5 it takes about 30 seconds for it to get pass the Samsung Galaxy logo
before the boot animation comes on.
l dont know why it does that l'll stick with what works for me....
I use an S5 prime with lineage 14 as a daily driver. I struggled with the battery life for a while until I installed 3c toolbox. It does what it says on the tin.
The built in camera app doesn't work, but there are others that work. I'm not bothered about quality.
