[Q] Can I upgrade??

Hi!!! I want to ask. Can I upgrade my phone from 4.2.2 to android 4.4 without a custom rom?? Thanks....
The answer is no as Samsung hasn't released any firmware of 4.4 yet and thus if you want 4.4 in your grand then you will have to root your device and go for any custom ROM only.

My phone is already rooted and If I use a custom rom like OMNI ROM,SLIMKAT, OR OTHER LIKE THAT, Sim card 2 and browser and FM radio will not work. I just want the perfect rom so I can use anything with normal galaxy grand with android 4.4. But thanks for your reply and if you know how to make a custom rom please PM me or send me the link to my email: [email protected].

Dual sim functionality currently doesn't exist in any AOSP ROM. regarding browser and fm. You can opt for alternatives like chrome and for fm i have heard sprintfm or something like that works great. And no i an just a user.

If it is unlocked and your using a GSM sim from another carrier than you got more than just stable rom to worry about. You need to do some additional steps to get dialer and calls working on AOSP but if you are just using it on sprint CDMA than you are fine and can just flash Slim Rom which I think is most stable of all of them. Gummy is great. Another thing you gotta keep in mind is that you should flash the supported gapps that the developer mentions in rom thread because if you flash wrong Gapps version that can cause instability. Slim roms has always been stable for me and use it with small gapps which is just 56mb. Slim roms is actually 4.4.4 which is even better than 4.4.2

Sorry, "Best" ROM threads are not allowed on this development site. Members are expected to do the research and read through the ROM threads to decide and pick what "may" be best for them. Bugs and fixes members come across will be found in those threads. Asking opinions like this will only get you a list of what everyone is running...no real information...all of that only comes with research. Best advice anyone can give you is to make a backup and flash. Try one out that you think is best for you for a day or two...don't like it? Flash another. But always always always backup before flashing anything.

[Q] Verizon S5 ROM Suggestions

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!
K
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.

Why install a custom rom on gs7?

Hi,
This question is mostly towards the people that have already installed a custom rom on their GS7.
I have a GS7 G935F model and i was wondering why you guys choose to installed custom rom?
I'm a big fan of custom roms. I have used them in the past on my GS3 T999, because T-mobile didn't release any new updates for the phone. I saw the need to use a custom rom to be on the latest and greatest version and i switched from rom the rom to test witch one suited me best. Now with the GS7 i get frequent updates from samsung and don't see the need, but i'm still really really interested in trying one of the custom roms. So what else does a custom bring that will make me want to make that switch?

most of those frequent updates are for security propose.
custom roms enable you to unlimited experience of customization.
changing any system ui element or installing some apps that need root access and works better on custom roms usually.
but some app or mod you install on custom rom have risks to brick your phone and you need to prepare urself to repair it or search a lot to get stable ones.
:good:

Changing system ui elements or using root apps/ modules. 3 years ago u needed a custom rom for a new look and extra functionality that wasn't normally possible. Nowadays most of those things are possible. I'm searching for the things i can do now if i choose to install a custom rom. Things i could really use.
Which root apps or modules do u use on your phone?

There is no such thing as "best ROM", regardless of whatever device or ROM is in question.
It's a matter of choice, all I can say is keep trying the different ROMs and/or kernels that are available for your device until you find one that fits your needs and serves your purposes, or at least, a ROM that gets as close to what you want/need as you can get out of what is available for your device.
It doesn't really do any good to ask others about what ROM to use, all they can do is tell you the experience they had with "this" or "that" ROM, but that doesn't help you because you and they may not have the same things installed. The additional apps and mods that you or they have installed on your devices after installing the ROM effect how the device performs, you or they might have other things installed along with the ROM that give you different results than they get, even though you both are using the same ROM.
It's like looking for a new car, the car that someone else likes or works well for them, might not be the car that works for your needs or you may not even like the car that they like at all.
