Suggest me a Clean ROM

Hello guys,
I'm acutally running the X-Note build 20 stuck on Android 4.4.2
I have some problems to recognize a good rom for me so I'm here asking for suggestions. I don't need anything customized. If you could indicate a CLEAN stock rom that could let me be updated with the lastest android versions, I would be really thankful.
Thanks in advance

I am looking for a stable nexus like ROM for note 3, I am thinking of getting the next nexus device and want to try and sample the experience for the next few months. Any suggestions as to which ROM will suit me best. I am looking for something stable and reliable?
There is far too many options available now.
Should I go for something like omega ROM? I don't normally flash ROMs but I am sure I will figure it all out.

AOSP Roms
Your should forget Samsung TW crapware and flash an AOSP Rom.
Try Slim if you want lean and stable or Euphoria to remain stable and have more customization options.

Happy flashing...

Many thanks for your reply, I think I will give slim a try.

i suggest cm based roms, bigger choice and more community support through shear numbers LOL
perhpas i have t add that i tried almost any rom on 7 devices. nevertheless slim is one of the very best roms around, well maintained. i just need a few more features and xposed is not yet stable enough for me and app settings does not yet work.

Slim used to be my Rom of choice until these last months when we can't have neither visibility nor understanding on what is happening in/to the team.
And I have switched from the Galaxy "S" series to "Note" series, so although I'm very fond of AOSP, it's hard to find an AOSP rom with the native TW features, mainly S-Pen features that I used quite a lot.
I've tried Aryamod and found it nice. My daily driver so far.

I use the multi-window feature a lot so I kept returning to touchwiz roms.
better battery life and better s pen support is also a plus.
currently the best rom in my opinion is aryamod 5.3, but you can wait until 5.4 comes out.
the most important thing is to go to the OTA app that comes with the rom and flash the "no 3minit battery" zip, which will return your battery icon to default instead of the retarded 3minit one.
good luck

Need suggestions for best rom for s4 i9500

Hey guys, I am really fed up with the bugs and issues in stock 5.0.1 of s4 i9500 edition. Snapchat force closes every now and then, chrome crashes , wallpaper gets auto changed and so on.
I would like to know which would be the best rom that I can install which can be used a daily driver, I want to install it once and use it tension-free. Can you guys suggest which ones do you use as your daily driver, which gives the best performance and maximum battery life and should be based on lollipop 5.1
I am not really into changing roms so I would like this one to bug free and stable, I do not need any additional features.
Thanks!!

The best ROM is subjective, in that everyone's opinions are going to differ. The only way you're going to know which ROM is best for you is trying them out.

Thanks for your reply. I actually wanted everyone's opinion so that I can know which ones are very stable and working great for them and then I can go ahead and try them and select the one out of them that works best for me

Euphoria rom is best as if i think so....
But if u want to use samsung apps, airview, air gestures halcyon rom would be nice
For better battery backup go for stock rom which is somewhat stable now.

Aurora is the best
All air functions work fine and some of the note features are there and in adition very stable
after many roms tests

Been using Aurora V2 - crashed yesterday while in a call. A big NO for me, but otherwise the rom was more than satisfactory overall. I have automatic call record enabled, so could've been that... not sure.
Wanna try Halcyon next...

For me,
AOSP-based ROM: GearCM and everything based on that ROM
TW-based ROM: Doctor's S6 port/Halcyon/MBP with VoLTaqe Kernel
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD

My vote is for darklord...

AOSP : Gear CM, Resurrection Remix and Euphoria
T.W. : Aurora S6/S6E V3.0, Dark Lord and Halycon.
Kernal : VoLTaqe Kernel and Light-Weight-Kernel.
Doctor's Rom is also good but somehow didn't work good for me.
**Happy to Help**

Cyanogenmod. Very stable and fast.

Uptill now, am on stock rom, which has been stable . However, waiting for CM 13, as Android 6 is not going to come for s4. Problem for i9500 which has exynos chip and as yet unreleased source code, CM 13 will be delayed. Just released cm 13 for snapdragon i9505. Running CM 12.1s in i9300, s3 for the past year. Very stable.

Well i no more use cm. Rather i use stock rom. It is stable and we can get all features with xposed and other apps.

I have tried the following
Resurrection remix
Android Ice cold project
CM13
Bliss pop
Liquid smooth
For me CM13 was the most stable but it certainly was not the fastest, event tho in some conditions it performed well, and is the rom that I have had the most experience with. The other roms I listed above were quicker but they were a bit more unstable than cm13 but not to the point of unusable.
And finally I have been testing a new rom called exodus and my experience with this, since the past week is wow, it is the fastest rom that I have come across in terms of bootup time and shutdown, including overall performance when using my galaxy s5, however even tho there hasn't been much in a way of apps crashing I do get the odd lag now and again which is not consistent, but I can see this rom will always continue to improve.
There is another rom that I like to try out and it's called aokp as that claims to have good performance, however i'm not sure of the stability of this.
You should check out the xda channel on youtube, there are quite a few reviews for custom roms that are even available on our device.

Best Rom (opinion )

Hey
I have a G900F and I'm wondering wich rom you consider to be the best and why. I have stock marshmallow and it's been laggy lately. I would like to give a try to a custom ROM. I'm interested in lineage os and resurrection remix but I'm not sure if I should use any of them since I read on the forum that both have some sort of problem with gapps. Can you help?
Tell me if it's safe to install any of the above or if you can recommend another.
Thanks

Welcome to the S5 community @balangmusic,
Have a look at this thread for some ROM suggestions:
Which ROM do you like most?
RR 5.7.4 is a popular choice and I highly recommend using it. It is a little outdated in terms of security updates but it gets the job done and it is feature packed. LineageOS is currently a little buggy with Google Play Services, where your phone would freeze after auto updating.
Saber

or p h oenix rom

general rule - AOSP roms such as the ones you are interested in - can get nougat (which comes with perks such as extra features and extra security), bugs (as stated above) stability and compatibility issues (some have issues with fingerprint and sometimes camera) .
Touchwiz roms (e.g. Omega) - can only get up to marshmallow (or lollipop depending on the rom). more stable
I lean more towards Touchwiz based rom. if i wanted AOSP rom, I would have gotten a Nexus. I'm also not to concerned about what version of android i'm running.
I personally use Xtrestolite which is lollipop, touchwiz based and quite old. However, it's very stable. I'm having no issues.
Why do I use lollipop? - I really like Ktoonsez's Kernel.
In my opinion, I like Xtrestolite, or Alliance (although both are currently unsupported and are lollipop based at latest).
Omega is a Touchwiz based one (and pretty good) that supports Marshmallow now I believe. I reckon you should give that a try if you want a good balance between up-to-dateness, features and stability.
I'll post any links is you are interested in any of these and want links.
Edit: also very interested to hear about other good roms and people's opinions
Also Red's Revenge seems pretty cool and recent. havent tried it yet though.

Thanks man.
Can you give me links for omega and red's revenge?

Good luck!
Try them out and let us know how you go.

I have Lineage Os 14.1 on my S5 and it works perfectly, I think this is the best Rom because cyanogenmod turned in Lineage.

Best stock based stable rom

hi,coming after a long time on xda so have no clue about development of galaxy s5
would be helpful if u guys helped me pick the best custom rom for s5 (stock based preferred)
doesnt matter if v6.0 or v7.0 the main thing is it should be stable with minimal bugs
need touchwiz based because i like the new look and feel of touchwiz ui of white bg and blur effect
thanks in advance

Skies ROM is the only one I have found to be stable. All of the others I have tried (Darklord, Smallwiz, Nemesis, etc.) have too many bugs for me to consider for a daily driver.
If you want stock, why not just root the official Samsung firmware? It's pretty much the only way to do it if you want working fingerprint.

I think Thunderbolt v5, skies ux and samyux a7. You can use these.

I personally recommend Thunderbolt v5. I installed it on my sister's phone and was very pleased. She did not report any problems
