Other custom roms that can be built for serranolte/serrano3g - discussion

Note, this is for the LTE model, GT-I9195. I compiled a build for someone who posted a request for it on RR Google+ site. I don't own the device, but it works OK according to him.

I have the Mega 6.3 which is similar in hardware to the mini.
The download link & md5 is given below. If users can confirm that it works OK, I can create a thread in the development forum.

Just want to say thanks for this its is the best ROM out of them all as i have tried them all for the S4 mini, One bug i hate on 4.4 is opening a message notification and it remaining there but i don't seem to have this problem on your ROM, I found the boot logo to be a tad to big but that's the only problem i have with it so far please support S4 Mini.

I always wanted PA on my phone now I've got it. Couldn't ask for anything more just waiting for the rest of the features to be added by PA.
Glad you are here with us!!! :good:

You got official PA
FYI...
Serranolte and Serrano3g have been added to aospa-legacy, meaning you will be getting official builds from now on and can use the OTA app to update.
https://github.com/AOSPA-legacy/android_vendor_pa/commit/99120361c36189be4170e202b2adfe9657671158
Downloads will be available at this link when they are ready. Serranoltexx and Serrano3gxx folders would show up when the build is ready.

Hey dude. I'm not sure if you got my PM, UC Browser does funny stuff sometimes so I will post this here.
Just woke up a couple of hours ago. Testing AOKP now, everything seems to be working fine. At first it appeared that Bluetooth didn't work. After a reboot and installing gapps it seemed to be working. Not sure if that was due to gapps or just the reboot. Other then that everything seems to be fine.
P.S. I also tried Mahdi, excellent ROM, can confirm Bluetooth is not working there either, plus the gallery app crashed from the get go until a reboot

Pure AOSP gives issues sometimes. Will take a look when I update. Thanks for testing. I'll create a new thread when I get feedback for the LTE version.

ha ?! strange ...
Pure AOSP (like Nexus roms ) are généraly more stable than CM roms ..."in théory" .
And it will be perfect for users who want the simplicity on parameters, a pure google experience (like stock ) ...and a good "clean" base ( without "frills" ) for eventualy to personalize oneself for some people .
And for some people who like Touchwiz :add very goods Samsung Touchwiz theme + launcher will be great ! ==> it fully replace stock rom!
It's sure that when stock KK will be released for S4 mini by Samsung, with the code-source ( scheduled in May 2014...according to the "good" rumors enought reliable ) ==> a pure AOSP build will be the best choise for our phone ( lighten,performance and stability ) ....with a very good Customised Kernel for better phone ( a strong battery save ,without decreasing performance )
As far as i'm concerned ,i personaly wait this way for the future of my phone !
Otherwise ,there are stable CM11 ... but cyanogenmod have done many additional features on her rom .

[Q] Have any difference from Temasek CM12.1 to original CM12.1?

It's simple!
I have installed cm12.1 and I don't know if the temasek cm12.1 are better
Thanks

I installed Temasek 12.8 and 14.1 and wasn't very pleased with them comparing to cm12.1 nightlies. Yesterday I installed Temasek 14.8 and it has been a very good rom indeed. Long battery life and a stable performance. Only bug found so far is same one I had with cm12.1 nightlies; stock browser crashes occasionally when browsing xda forum. I was a bit sceptical with Temasek rom, but the last rom I tried, has completely changed my opinion. Make a backup of your current rom, and install a Temasek one. If not pleased, you can always change back to what you're using atm.

Sceptical really? Please don't say anything you don't prove.
And who the **** use stock browser.

I've tried the CM version and have always come back to Tema's ROM. I seem to miss many of the issues others have had, maybe because I'm an old bugger and don't use a lot of 'them new-fangled gew-gaws' they get into. The above post is correct that Tema is responsive and fixes things fast.
I haven't tested for a while (I froze Antutu because it kept showing up in BBS) but twice I have posted scroes above 49,000 using Tema's ROM - don't even get close with other ones.
I use CM Browser (stands for Cheetah Mobile) - it's very quick - can't recall ever using the stock except mayberight at the start of owning my Note. By the time I flashed a CM ROM I was off that kind of thing so never tried the CM version.

Both Temasek roms I tried ate my battery pretty fast, so I thought maybe I had a wrong modem or something preventing Temasek working properly on my phone. (Some had outstanding batterylives with those versions and some didn't, modems were suspected for that, read the forum if you need proof)
And I the **** use stock browser, have 7 different browsers I use daily and the stock one is one of them. So if it crashes, being part of the operating system, maybe not so huge a sin to report about it?

Depends on how you personally use your device
Sent from my SM-A800F using Tapatalk

im your average user really ...

im using NORMA right now the battery is 50 50 on it...i want something fast with a good battery really....

Battery backup is more or less same on ALL the ROMs. When I say ROMs I mean TW based ROMs obviously.
If you want to extend it use Xposed modules like Amplify, Greenify, Power Nap or those kinds. Really not interested in those things, but you can always do a Google search.
By the way, this post belongs to Q&A section. Why post in under Development section!!!

I've used a lot of roms. Cm 12.1 had the best battery life. But you lose all touch wiz features, like multi window, but some can be acquired through apps. I would suggest getting CM 12.1 straight from the source. Look on YouTube for a tutorial. All of these roms are based on Cm 12.1 or Touch Wiz. So for the most part their all the same. Different skins, different clock speeds, different wallpapers, different themes, but underneath their the same.

Try miui 7, I think it's got better battery than tw or cm rom. It was one of the features of miui 7. Really smooth too.

Reflashing stock over custom ROMs

This is probably a dumb question..
But is it possible to flash the system.img from stock over a CM 13 rom and keep user data? Or a combination of the various IMG files?
I'm just having a lot of instability issues with the nightlies and don't want to have to download the 35gb of music again now that I'm on 2mbs internet :crying:

I had gone completely stock including relocking boot loader - agree - non stock ROMS are less stable.

Appears I may have found the answer in this excellent guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
I am wondering if anyone can confirm if Google Music would still have all it's downloaded music? Or would flashing write over that, as they are protected/hidden/encrypted files?

Best guess
Going back stock will make it factory fresh
I.e. Bye bye downloads

Maybe don't use the nightlies and just use a more stable ROM? Your problem seems to be with nightlies being too unstable, well, that's the name of the game with nightlies. Maybe go for one of the other ROMs in the forum that offer much more stability? Won't be stock-stable but it will be pretty stable...

You're probably right. I'm just a little surprised that the Redmi Note 3's unoffical version of CM 13 was 10x more stable than the unlocked Google Nexus phone. Not blaming anyone or thinking I am owed anything. I just assumed since it ran so well on the RN3 that it should be near perfect on the N6P.
Any ROMS you reccomend that? Any reason not to just go stock+root+xposed?

AFAIK last CM snapshot (release) for 6p was in April.
If you want a stable ROM for 6p, choose one that is based on AOSP and not to heavily modified.
I've been using Pure Nexus ROM for awhile now and I find it very stable, if you find a bug and report it correctly, the dev is sure to try his best to fix it.
He also releases an update every month at least to include the security patches.
Stock ROMs can have bugs too and sometimes fixed in custom ROMs, they're usually more optimized too

+1 for pure nexus rom and xposed

What N4 rom do you prefer? Dr.Ketan or Norma N7?

Hi everyone, long time no see. I'm now back where i belong with you Android guys&Girls.
the possibility to tweak my phone)
Now for the actual question, cause i sure need your help.
I Went back to my Old Note 4 and now I'm trying to Choose between Dr.Ketan and Norma.
Since you are expert on these and surely have tried at least on of them (if not both and more) Can you please give me some advice on what rom to use.
Battery is important to me, aswell is having the phone acting smooth. Im not a big user of the S-pen but i can really appreciate it when time comes.
What rom would you prefer, and please elaborate your answer on why the other one is better than the other.
Thanks in advance!

Dr. Ketan rom is a very stable rom .
Norma and aurora are in developement (but quite stable for daily use ).
If someday I get bored with roms and wish going back to a stock rom , then i might consider dr.ketan rom over official 6.0.1.
If you want to enjoy the latest grace ux , then there are many , but if you want rock solid performance and stability , i would suggest dr. Ketan m6.

Hi and thanks for the answer, i tried to install that rom, but my phone is in some kind of weird bootloop.
Sometimes it goes all the way into preparing android apps, just to go back to bootloop...WHYYYYYY!

noble rom the best

I'm still stuck to Dr.Ketan's L16f. I tried norma and a few other roms, but I want rock solid stability, full features and ease of installation, without having to search for zips that fix this and that. I guess I'll wait a little longer till Norma or Aurora fix a few minor things that are still unsolved.

I'm using Norma N7 for last 1 month and it's very fine and after v4 it's much stable now.

Norma is @@@ of the roms a few more updates and we have a note 7 until 8 comes out!!!
SM-N910F

Note4 N910G
Dr. Ketan rom M6 is best.
It has themes support ,Volte ,and all other functions which nesessary for device .i got antutu benchmark 80757 which is closer to note5 and battery backup is awesome i get almost 6hrs plus screen on time (sot) see screenshots with 2 hours net browsing.

In order to have Dr Ketan M6 working, you should flash both lollipop bl and modem.
For apps, to me, root explorer, kernel adiutor, sidesync (this one is brutal, you can control your phone with your PC) and KLWP are essentials for me....
Another essential app is Samsung themes...too bad stock Note 4 roms haven't this feature...

So lots the Best of the other noms i.e. Ramrom

Hi Melissakis just wondering what unit you are using Coz mine run too slow that I can't even restart my fon nor open any apps when I'm using Dr. Ketan I love it but everytime I have also FC. But don't get me wrong we have different preference. Btw try to install aurora with proper fix, kernel and you will see. NORMA v4 already out but I returned to aurora even though it doesn't have compatibility with 3minit. Found Norma bugs is always the same

I haven't any issue with this rom for the last 5,6 months. Aurora is not for me yet, I don't want to mess with workarounds for fingerprints, zips to fix this and that etc. Aurora and Norma are great even now, but I'll wait a little longer, until they become absolutely perfect.

yop.....RamROM V6 with suggested kernel is the best.
It has Default N4 fingerprint scanner working, there is no need of third party apps as were used in other fabulous ROMs like DR.KETAN'S and NORMA or X-ROM.
Basically, RamROM is not an N7 ported rom.
But i have a suggestion using RemROM kernel with N7 ported roms like NORMA or X-ROM will give best results and its more stable, no battery drains and no over heats. :good:
(As this kernel is compiled using UberTC which give best results when compared to other Stock/N7 ported kernels, thanks for @Ram121 ).
If you need pure Stock N4 experience go for > [ROM][N910F][ALEXNDR] ★ DPI1 / CPD1 ★ DevBase v3.8 ★ Multi CSC, Safe De-Bloat<
The Best pre-rooted stock ROM ever.
