Hey guys,
I really loved my S7 edge in the past, but with the last updates Samsung introduced some things that really bother me.
The worst things are the Samsung Members app and the "contact us" dialogue in every menu and the Volume safe warning.
Some weeks ago I decided to switch to a custom rom and found "SuperMan Rom" and "The Galaxy Project". Flashing these, I wasn't able to use Google Pay and Samsung Health anymore (even on stock). Root was always detected, even if not installed or hidden by magisk.
My Problem with these roms is, that they have built in features that I don't need and "SuperMan Rom" is discontinued...
I would like to have / make a rom which is the closest to stock possible, with all Apps which are not necessary removed and the latest version of those who are installed....and most important GPay and SHealth working.
Do you have any advice for me? I would be happy about any help!

Hey guys,
A weird question yes, but I have no clue, been sat on 4.4.2 for the past 7 months now, feel like it is time to get lollipop, but I don't want to for one reason and that is that xposed apps (from what I have read) don't all work and I use a few of them. Is there a way to get xposed working correctly? (I haven't been around here in a while)
If this is the wrong forum, then can an Admin move it to the correct one please.
Thanks for all help

If you asked this question some 3 weeks earlier, the advice would have been "don't update", but:
1. rovo89 managed to bring his Xposed framework to AOSP Lollipop up to 5.0, there are unofficial variants that are adapted to work with 5.1+, as well.
2. On the TouchWiz side, Samsung made a s***load of changes in the ART runtime, and only recently two devs (arter97 and darkera13) managed to bring Xposed to TouchWiz Lollipop, using two different methods, but both have the necessity that a deodexed ROM is used.
3. Mind you, TW Lollipop is one ugly-a** motherf***er. Literally ugly as hell, even if it is the fastest TouchWiz to date.
So, if you feel like experimenting, give the development forum a look, but keep in mind: better flash through Odin a stock Lollipop in order to upgrade your bootloader and modem (without that, upon flashing a 5.0 TouchWiz ROM you'll get a bootloop; before Samsung updated us to Lollipop, we had a couple of experimental AOSP ROMs which worked flawlessly with the old bootloader and modem).
Also, if you plan to use Xposed with Lollipop, carefully read the threads of the Xposed apps you intend to use, some might not be updated yet to work with Lollipop.
That's my two cents.

Thanks for the reply, I finally got it now, AryaMod's version, seems nice for now, yeah it doesn't look the best but I am liking the speed a lot. Going to finish installing apps, backup then try and get xposed working. Any apps that are good for lollipop that make it different at all or?

When Wanam gets his module and all it's functionality updated properly, you'll be able to theme any TW ROM you flash properly and mod it like hell, but he barely begun work on it due to the fact that only recently Xposed was brought to TW Lollipop (Wanam is TW module exclusively).
My own setup is Project Artware by arter97 (you can google it and find it easily, but he still hasn't shown that project here on XDA) + his kernel, then only the GravityBox module to tweak the behavior of the volume rocker and the capacitive buttons to behave like the Note 4 (left capacitive button for recent apps instead of holding down the home button, I've always hated the stock implementation for the Note 3 ).
If you like that setup, with AryaMod you probably won't need GravityBox.
My girlfriend has been begging me to update her Verizon S5 for months, so I've finally started reading my options, and I'm lost. Right now her S5 is just stock rooted, still running 4.4.4. I was going to install Resurrection Remix N KLTE but I just realized it requires an unlocked bootloader, which I've determined isn't possible on her phone. I was hoping to find a ROM based on Nougat that she would like but besides Resurrection Remix I didn't notice one. Really all she cares about is being able to theme her phone like she has now using the Wanam module for Xposed. I'm thinking of just getting her to stock MM and installing Xposed but the post I read mentioned boot loops on Samsung devices, and that there were unofficial builds that fix that, but didn't link to any. I'm also not sure how to either keep root or to reroot once on MM. It's been over two years since I rooted her phone, and I recall having issues. Anyone have any advice? Links? a spare S5 with an unlocked bootloader? Ok the last one isn't necessary but the first two would be appreciated.
the only thing that i'm really surprised that your girlfriend
i mean you cant find a girl who knows in android very much everyday XDDD
anyway sammobile is the first place

Hi,
I'm bringing this up again because it matches my question perfectly.
Im new to the Android-Family and want to flash my Active Tab SM-T365 with a Custom ROM to get rid of the hole Bloatware that came with it.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Regards Nic

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..
ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..
Hello everyone, I'm pretty new around here I guess you could say, but I'm here today looking for your help.
I've had an S5 for almost a year now and have gone off and on with different rooting (had SuperSU and now have Magisk). But anyways, I am wondering what the "big deal" about Custom ROMs are. I've read up a little but haven't been able to decide on if it's a good idea or not. For example, I looked at Resurection Remix OS for the S5 and it seems pretty cool. Except I loose my data. Now I'm not too worried about that, but I would like to keep my text messages and such (if anyone could tell me how to back that up, that'd be great).
The second problem is that, I'm worried that I may end up hard-bricking my S5 when trying to install a Custom ROM on it, as this would be the first time.
The third problem is, I have no idea what ROM would be best suited for both me and the phone.
In summary, what I'm asking is:
1. What advantages/disadvanges are there for installing a Custom ROM on my S5.
1a. How would I backup important information (text-messages mainly, as I have done nanodroid backups and such)?
2. How "hard" is it to hard-brick a phone from installing a Custom ROM?
3. What good ROMs are out there that are well suited for the S5?
hello,
i'm looking for a ROM, that everything works. Everywhere I read, this or that doesn't work.
I'm looking for something that isn't too old and everything works without a problem.
it is not necessary to have android 9 or 10.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Someone?
I can't guarantee that every single thing will work but blackdiamond n8 is a fantastic rom. You can choose which bloatware apps you want and other settings

Then stay on stock rom its the best one that fits your criteria..
Also depends what you exactly need custom rom for.. you need often to sacrifice on somethings to get another ..
At this point.. if you are new to rooting and custom OS scenario, i recommend staying on stock.. because it is now more complex procedure and gives far more problems sometimes then it gives benefit. Imho the benefits of rooting/custom OSes are degrading slowly to the point where its just a useless hassle..
But ofcourse its everyone's choice.. you want to live on the edge by trying new OSes/new things/features you are free to do.. just make sure you know how to do everything safely, and backing up the vital data, like copying your nv data (the first thing after gaining su access), knowing the correct/safe procedure and please DON'T "ACCIDENTALLY" turn oem unlock off..
I personally recommend gaining su access by SYSYEM LESS methods plus magisk in order to avoid dm verity errors and encryption problems.. it also makes it less likely to mess with your nv data..
See alexndr's system less dev base and custom rom.. its based on stock 8.0 too (i think its all stock) and also stable too
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-dqd1-devbase-v4-1-multi-csc-safe-t3591647/
OR if you want to live on the edge.. backup your nv data and try custom roms like black diamonds, hyper rom, deluxe rom and any other which is being actively updated/supported.. try and find your taste on your own and report problems on their threads (every rom has their problems)
But i would either root stock "system lessly" or flash alexndr's custom systemless OS devbase
