Hi guys
Been looking around the rom section but I am really lost.
I have a HTC Touch with original rom, approx 18 months old. The wife has been using it. Now I have got me hands on it and am looking to upgrade the rom to an all singing one.
I have had a look at the rom section but dont really know what I am looking at, so this is where I was hoping you guys could help.
I basically need the following
A rom that isn't too harsh on memory, as I don't really wanna slow down the device.
Something that improves the bluetooth, as I have had a few dropouts with it, and my bluetooth gps unit is crrently hit and miss, with 8/10 it always showing no gps device, even though I KNOW it is installed correctly.
Also a nice home screen, I quite like the diamond setup, but maybe this cannot be achieved without something like mobile shell.
Also any rom that generally improves performance, battery, touch flo etc...
Guys this may sound like I cant be bothered to look but I really do need some help from the experienced here.
So thanks in advance and I look forward to your help.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Hello everybody,
I am terribly sorry to do this to you, but I'm writing this on a very crappy tablet as my PC has run into quite a number of problems. That makes it very hard for me to dig for the info and my phone should arrive tomorrow. Anyway, now that I have somewhat justified this mischief of mine, I would like to ask you, the G2 people, a few questions. As I stated earlier, I ordered a G2 and I would like to root it and slap a good AOSP/Stock Android/AOKP/Nexus-ish ROM on it as quickly as possible. I have to do this over a friends PC, so I should tell him which files to download in order to make his life easier. Now, let's get to the questions. I live in Croatia (which is a part of the EU) so will I get the d802 variant of the phone? Which ROM would be most suitable for my needs, which are GTA San Andreas (when it comes out, trading a kidney for an early release), listening to music, a stock android experience and good battery life? The camera could come in handy because of all the holiday events taking place in the near future, but good camera quality isn't that much of a factor. Again, I am very sorry for asking these questions. If I had a normal PC, I would have searched for the answers myself, but I am desperate here. I'm going on a trip to visit my friend soon and I'd love to go there without the LG software and also without my phone getting stuck in bootloops or with bad battery life.
Thanks in advance!
Hi!
There's two paths:
Modding the stock rom
Benefits
Stable, fast
Excellent camera and audio quality
Bug free
Cons
Takes some modding in order to get it the way you like, if you like AOSP
You don't get the quick pulldown live tiles function from AOSP no matter what you do..
4.2.2
Recommended mods:
ROM and mods
StockROM from g.lewarne as a basis is a good choice
iOS7 navbar, looks just really nice in general
iOS7 icon pack 'Ios7 Flat' (dig around a bit for it) in conjunction with Unicon - an Xposed module (on Play Store) for nicer icons. Yuo can also use other icon packs of course. I say this because LGHome is recommended instead of ie. Nova Launcher, it's just smoother and nicer on the G2.
xdabebb camera mod for even better camera quality (the original app has its flaws)
Volume increase mod, the sound on stock is a bit low
V4A Viper4Android for even better sound
Freeze any unneccecary LG bloat through Titanium Backup (there's no need deleting them as the space isn't available anyway
iFont - changed system font to Helvetiva Neue, if you want the KitKat look you can change it to a light version of Roboto.
AOSP rom:
I've heard that Vanir rom is the smoothest atm
Pros:
4.4.x
AOSP apps
Lightweight
Cons
Unoptimized kernels
Not better battery time or performance
Feels rough around the edges
The implementation of things like the LED and 'knock off' and 'knock on' functions are not very good (you will learn to love them!)
audio quality is very bad, aosp camera also. there is a port of the LGcamera.apk, but it is very buggy unfortunately. Will make you upset very fast!
Thank you, you have been very helpful! I just might stick with stock for a while, at least to the end of the holidays.

Good luck with that, my preferred choice is stock, even coming from a Nexus 4, and being very design-concious

I couldn't resist, I simply had to flash stock Android. OmniROM first boot happening as I'm typing this.

Please write some opinions on the camera quality of OmniROM. I'm a new user as well, still on stock though and I'm curious as to how the camera quality is in OmniROM.
Pozzz.

I've spent quite much time with many ROMs and the best I find in CyanogenMod 11. I get 0% battery loss over the night. I get the latest software with best features of CM. I get above 31,000 Antutu benchmarks on this ROM and GTA San Andreas works flawlessly! Don't forget to use the latest TWRP 2.6.3.4 and you're good to go with this amazing phone. You can even get the quick remote and the LG camera apk on CyanogenMod. Good luck!

Slimkat doesn't have many issues... its very nice small and stable as well. instead of knock off use the navbar ring to set lock screen on a vertical swipe knock off problem solved until it is fully implemented. knock on works perfect. Great KITKAT rom.
stockmod rom is EXCELLENT no other way to describe it - my only issue has been audio quality when playing on my stereo through jack is very crackly...
Hi Everyone,
I'll keep this short...I've had my Note 4 for about 10 months now. Generally I have to say I feel that I've been living in denial, I love the device from a HW perspective and also the S Pen features however the SW is just too damn clunky, laggy and slow. Right now there is 1 to 2 second delay before it responds to any gestures + this can be up to 5 seconds when launching the camera for example. Also when playing music via Bluetooth it is very choppy and cuts in and out of the track being played (I have tried this on more than 1 Bluetooth device and its the same). When updating to Lollipop it seems that the experience hasn't got better, infact probably worse. I've loaded another launcher (Nova launcher) to see if the problem was touchwiz however its still the same. Lastly I've reset the device to factory 3 times now, which helps however it doesn't take long for it to get back to its usual clunky self. With all of this in mind, I am seriously considering moving on to another premium device however I wanted to throw this out there to you all to see if there was anyone else who had experienced the same issues and even better had a resolution.
Should I root the device and install another rom or simply move on???
Any help is much appreciated in advance.
Thanks,
OB
Try root and try a rom. There are a few out there that have been through the paces
Try another rom, I'm on dn5 and my phone is incredible fast

Thanks for the replies guys. I have a 910F, sucessfully fully rooted it today. I am looking for a fast and reliable ROM which also has the S Pen features. Can anyone recommend one instead of trial and error. Must be 910F variant.
Lastly, do I need to do something to a bootloader or something in order to load the ROM? Apologies if that's a stupid question...I am still quite new to this and learning.
Thanks,
OB

I don't know what's wrong with your phone, but I'm using rooted stock 5.1.1 for my N910H & everything is running great.

What about your battery performance? I have the same model and it's very bad!!!
I had the same feeling when I got my N910F a couple of months ago (coming from a Note 2 which I felt was more responsive and snappy than the Note 4).
But then I upgraded from the original 5.0.1 to stock 5.1.1 and it's like having a new phone; no more lag, or stutter or delays. This is what the Note 4 should have been like from the beginning.
So I suggest you try first upgrading to stock 5.1.1, no root and Knox intact at 0x0.

My battery last around 9 hours with 3 hours SOT with very heavy use :
Youtube
Radio streaming
Music
Gaming
Many syncs (Outlook, Yahoo mail, Gmail, ICQmail, Instagram, Twitter, BBM, Periscope, Skype, Instructible, Facebook, Facebook messenger, Whatsapp, Line, G+, Path, GTalk, Hangouts, Mega, Dropbox, 4Shared, Box, Drive, Onedrive, Youtube, Sing!, and many more)
For Cloud storage I sync some folder on access using FolderSync.
Downloads
Web browsing for around 1 hours
Some note taking.
WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth is always ON
With medium usage it can lasts for around 13-16 hours.
With light usage it can lasts for 18 -20 hours
With very light usage it can lasts 34 hours max (only standby+music+5 minutes web browsing).
It used to be 42 hours during very light usage, but it's been 1 year so the battery is degrading.
I didn't mention phone call because many of my family members & friends use BBM/Whatsapp/Line/Skype to call me.
I only use a real phone call for less than 15 minutes a day so it's negligible.

Hello
I started using CM12 for my Galaxy S4 i9500 about a year ago. At first I didn't mind that the phone was overheating when I played games, or videos, or just turned on the mobile data. But it's become irritating now.
The keyboard constantly crashes when I turn on the data, so does chrome and all other google services. Can't even hold my device in hand when trying to play games cuz it just gets so damn hot. It's already cracked 4 tempered glass screen guards (Would've been more but I stopped at 4. They barely lasted 2 or 3 days each).
Is there any solution to this heating and mobile data issues? Is there another custom ROM that's better and more stable for the i9500 than CyanogenMod? Which one would you recommend most, and why?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
All other custom ROMs are based on CM. So there is a high possibility that your issues are present on them too.
But instead of waiting several days for somebody with an GT-I9500 to answer, why don't you just check out the ROM threads and see what other users posted there. You'll have everything figured way faster.
I would've tried that but I already bricked the phone once trying to do so. Which is why I'm a bit scared of going down the wrong path, I'm not too knowledgeable in these matters.
I did not say to flash the ROM. I suggested that you read the replies from other users and then decide. Also read the first post, devs usually put then most known problems there.
Good Hello everyone,
a very long time ago I wanted to help my brother and flashed his Note 3 (N9005) with a ported rom. I wanted him to have a feeling like he got a new phone... anyway that kinda backfired because for a very long time he is using his Note 3 with the Camera crashing and FC, WhatsApp massage only receiving when he manually opens WhatsApp and Bluetooth disconnecting constantly! Not the best experience you can imagine and all because of me
The Problem we have is that we don't see each other often because of the distance. So when we meet I don't wan't to spend hours flashing and testing a rom. And I can't keep his Note for a few days to test drive it.
I really need help because I'm out of it and not really up to date any more.
Can you guys please recommend me a good reliable N9005 rom that is ported like N5/S7/N7 maybe? there are a ton of roms out here but I don't know which one is reliable and doesn't need fixes all the time.
Like I said a ported which is clean and minimal without any extra added mods and features would be perfect. Clean and simple reliable.
Thanks in advance guys :good:
RELIABLE
Then stick with Stock roms .

Yeah, I would suggest sticking with stock ROMS. But when it comes to suggesting an actual custom ROM, I suggest Phronesis Rom N7 v4.1
I've been running it for two weeks now and it's absolutely beautiful, it's like ACTUALLY having a Note 7... without the explosions of course.
An any issue you run in to, you can find an answer to in their thread. The only issue I came across was the audio quality and animation that got fixed by using the search feature in the thread
Agree with that rom.
But as OP is not the user its difficult to fix a problem from miles away .

MagMA NX n7 Port is best also when it comes to battery life you also use the debloat script to trim down some of its apps to get more juice out of it. So far one of the best N7 ports I ever tested (Aryamod,Norma etc.)
You might also want to consider the AryaMod S7E port, quite good too
You can also update his latest modem and bootloader currently PJ2
