Which stable but speedy and debloated ROM for gf?

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)

Which is the best ROM you guys have discovered for REDMI 2 PRIME

Hello guys !
I have been a new member of XDA . (**noobie** tho ) . I own a REDMI 2 PRIME . I have flashed many roms and kernels on my device suggested by xda but until now i have not found anything i.e. any ROM that i might stick onto. I always flash a new rom and within 3-4 days seeing the battery consumption i revert back to MIUI ROM . Please suggest me with links to the ROM and kernels that i should try on and can hold on to a particular rom.
Thanks Guys !

Look....devs are tried or trying to make ROM that is suitable for us .So be greatful to them.
I am using cm 13(official) and du by dual boot and I am happy.
BTW ...u can't get everything work perfectly in anything in this world.....

In my experience if you are going for bugless you should go for stock which is pretty good and especially on prime much smoother compared to 1gb variant.
On other hand any custom ROM come with trade off,most stable ROM on r2 is DU but it won't support Jio,then there is Orion by same dev which is minimal and excellent ROM in itself ,if you are new to custom Roms then you should stick to CyanogenMod which offers AOSP looks with its own set of features and is reliable,

Reply 1 :Your review was awesome ! Will surely try this beta rom !
Reply 2 :The phone is awesome and i dont see a chance that i might be changing this phone because of its compact size and its battery life on stock rom . The wierd thing that happens is that i have seen many people say that a particular rom say CM13 official nightly build is the best stable rom for redmi 2 prime but i used it and saw a pretty lag even when the phone booted up for the first time that is no new apps installed for a day and then i would have to revert back to my stock rom !
Hehe that is what going on from all the roms i have tried . I havent tried tesla rom latest build for miui redmi 2 prime which users say is the best rom until now ! So lets see what happens next

Stock Rom minus Bloatware Or Custom ROM For Stability and battery ?

Hi all,
I got a used Redmi3s , So im planning to reset the phone completely and use it as a secondary Phone.. MIUI Rom has so many bloatware and im used to CM roms easiness and light weight .. So i had plan to Unlock BootLoader, Flash TRWP and Any Custom ROM .
Now is it worth to Flash Custom ROM as i need a stable rom with battery ?
Or i shuld just root the MIUI and Uninstall almost all Unwanted MIUI apps. My concern is mainly on apps which run on background and use my Internet ...
Hope to read some user reviews on CUSTOM ROM and Stable ROM ...

Custom ROMs are always better than MIUI in terms of battery, speed, updates,etc. But MIUI is what you pay for and stability is always higher. Since you've unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery, why not try a custom ROM and then decide.

thanks william.. bt i havent unlocked bootloader or flashed recovery... now when i read many threads says there is always CAMERA problem with custom ROMs. I used to flash roms with minimal gapps only all my device . Thats why i asked..
Anyway after posting the thread i realised there is miui9 developer edition. So planning to Flash via Official Updater ......Any comments on miui9 ?

Miui 9 is fast as advertised. And I believe the camera problem you mentioned must be about google camera or a new ROM which appeared recently. Google camera modded has that new bokeh features now available for our device. As a result, it has trouble with other functionality. But stock camera in custom ROMs have no issue at all. And there is a camera issue in Cosmic OS official which will get fixed in future updates.
Anyways it all comes down to your personal preference- MIUI or Custom ROMs.

Stock rom minus bloatware is better imo. I've been on stock rom minus bloatware for a long time. It's stable, bug free and I don't have to flash new rom every week. Battery life is amazing, 10 hr SOT.

Can u guide me ?
I think steps is like
1 unlock bootloader
2.Flash TWRP
3. Flash SuperSU to root
and wat are the bloatwares which are safe to be removed

After rooting your phone install titanium backup to delete bloatware. Or you can also try this bloatware removal script

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.

Best Rom for 8 pro

Friends, recently i bought new One plus 8 pro. It is 1 year old. I mean released version. So i will get max. 1 year more Big upgrade.(Android12) & 1 Security update. It is not a big deal for me. That's why i need long term supported alternative Rom, such as Custom rom. My phone will be In2020 china version. I need all possible functions on rom.(stable) i will no root, cause i need baking app too. So should i stick witch China(Hos) Oneplus or go for better stable rom. Can you prefer me a good stable custom rom(less bug) for long term oTa support? & how to get back to official rom with bootloader relock?(if anything goes wrong)
I know, a lot of questions. I m doing for future proof for 4-5 years. Thank you in advance.

You can put oos on your device if it has hhydrogen os.
all custom roms have different features and customizations.
I suggest you go to the telegram channels and talk to the people there.
but if you want short answer then go for havoc rom . 4.4 version is very stable.
no rom is perfect so you’ll see what bugs there are from the group .
check it out

Stock OS works a treat...
