Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I'm really curious about the performance of Nougat or Oreo using a Custom ROM versus the stock Lollipop on an S4 I9505.
Do the Custom ROMS of Nougat/Oreo really improve the performance on an I9505 compared to the stock Lollipop? How about the battery?
Really looking forward to answers regarding this.
Anyone who knows this or could test this out of me?
Everyone has different needs whereby one custom ROM may be perfect for one person and a stock ROM is perfect for another person.
I highly recommend reading through the custom ROM forum, selecting a few to try, and using it over a few days with your most-used apps.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a specific custom ROM with Oreo/Nougat that you might have in mind when it comes to performance?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any recommendations since I haven't had a working s4 for a months.

Hey Guys -
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about stable ROM's for the Verizon Samsung S5? I'm going to downgrade my 5.0 to 4.4.4 (using this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-kitkat-t3088571) and do all that stuff, but I wasn't sure if there are any restraints on the type of ROM's you can flash. It's my understanding that Cyanogen doesn't have anything besides nightlies right now for the Verizon S5?
Thanks in advance!

You need to use one of the roms from the development forum for the verizon s5. It doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, so Cyanogen won't even run. Most roms on the forums are generally stable, but the most stable are either stock rooted or extremely debloated ones.
What is best is always subjective. What may be best for one person is not best for someone else.
We recommend you take a look read all the available ROMs decide which one you want to try out and determine for yourself.
Always give the rom at least 1 week to settle in and use before making a decision.
Thread is being moved to Q&A section as you are asking a question and looking for guidance.

Have a great day!
Hi, I wanted to try a costum ROM on my note 3 because the official note 3 ROM has a lot of unwanted apps that just fills up my memory.
Looking on the threads, I see a lot of custom ROMs available that doesn't make it easy to start. So my question is which costum ROM do you prefer and why will you recommend me to get that one? Thank you in advanced!!
Just in case, my model is the one on the screen shot
Why don't you start with one where you understand the instructions .

I'd say go for Temasek's CM12.1 AOSP ROM. It's MUCH smaller than any stock Rom, & support is pretty good and it FLIES. I've now posted 2 Antutu scores over 49,000 - and I know benchmark scores are not real life performance but I never got over a 44,000 in any stock ROM.
If you want to stay based in stock, a very good custom ROM is Alliance ROM - think it's at v8.1 now.
HOWEVR, and this applies no mater what ROM you look at... READ, READ, READ... Learn what rooting is, learn about Recovery and why Odin on the PC is necessary. The more you understand about what you are trying to do the less likely you are to be posting back in the Q&A with... "Help! My phone is bricked!"
As you can see I have a exynos Chip so I need a ROM compatible to that.
I had done flashing in the passed when I have my Samsung Galaxy Duos so I have read a bit. But there are soooooooo much ROMs now that I dared to ask the question
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Free mobile app
Your choice of roms for N900 is limited to these .

After trying so many ROMS including Lollipop and Marshmallow, I guess I'd still prefer going back to KitKat because of the battery issue. I;m using Resurrection ROM right now and I want to go back to KitKat. May I know what do you think so far is the best Custom KK Rom found in this great forum?
Thanks a lot and I hope I posted in the right section.
There is no best rom. The best is the one that suits you.
I heard good things about LiquidSmooth.
@Lennyz1988 You are the best
Hello everyone,
I personally never owned a Samsung device (always Nexus and mostly with Paranoid Android or Dirty Unicorns ROM) but my girlfriend has one and she defeniately needs it to be flashed :good:
As I am completely new to Samsung devices, I have no idea about all the developers and different ROMs that are out there for the Samsung Note 4 (Snapdragon).
I don't have much time to try around with different ROMs as it isn't my phone.
I need one that is good, stable, fast (and also supports the stylus / samsung apps). So I can flash it quickly and have a happy girlfriend
So that is the reason I an asking in the first place. Else I would just flash around and keep trying until I find the best fit.
I saw CM is officially supporting the Note 4. So that one might be a good solution. But does it have all those stylus samsung stuff?
Any other ROMs I should check out?
Do I need to flash a new radio?
Thanks in advance and sorry for posting another "which ROM" thread. But I can't really test around to find out on my own as it is not my device that I am going to improve !
If n910g, this is highly recommended, although you have to disable or uninstall later all apps that you don't want if you want a debloated rom.

It is N910F.
The link you provided is simply stock android MM?
Yes stock MM, stock is in my experience the most stable and bug free rom build. But the link is for n910g unfortunately.
Stock ROM, and then debloat yourself. Quite honestly speaking, and no offence to anyone, there are no good ROMs available for Note 4. In fact I myself might have not got the phone if I realised the development section is like this. And I am not interested in ported ROMs, so even though there are many available I won't go that way, and I am too dumb to make a ROM for myself, so stock ROM it is.
I agree, stock rom rooted and debloat it, and apply msm tweaks. If you want, xposed as well.

You must flash samsung based rom to have all soen features and samsung apps. I reconnemed kurama rom which in using , its battery friendly, fast and stock based. If you going to flash kurama rom you must flash modem and bootloader for the rom to boot up (only can be flashed from pc with odin)
Hello Everyone,
I really like the S7 edge. I have been using Android since the HTC Magic. And I have always flash my android phone to custom rom.
But it feels like Stock roms are closing in on Custom rom nowadays. And since having kids, I did not really have time to go around forums and threads to read and test roms, like I used to before.
So, I am turning to you guys, who are still trying several roms, flashing mobile almost every week, like I used to. What are the special features of custom roms that you have come to like nowadays, that Stock rom is missing? Or is Stock really that good?
!!!! I know all developers are working hard on stock and custom roms, and I'm not asking which specific custom rom or stock rom do you prefer. I'm just asking between the 2 worlds, what are the advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks
