No, you could just install root and stay stock. Debloat and install viper and exposed but after a few weeks the phone starts to slow almost to an unbearable point. That's all we have and it doesn't look like we'll be getting more as that locked bootloader is here to stay.

I couldn't take it so i went back to stock and just rooted my note 5 as i like switching up once and a while. Running note 7 port now from crisscross, beautiful. In a few days I'll go to teks new one. Note 5 still awesome.

so your suggesting to not flash one of the roms. I'm experiencing the slowness right now and I just flashed tek a few days ago.

Did you make the changes to the kernel settings recommended all over the root threads ? have been using it and now Echoe for two months and have close to stock performance and stability with the engineer kernel .

Yes I did and it just kept getting slower. I tried both roms. I'm on stock rooted with xposed installed and it's quick. I haven't installed any xposed modules yet though so we will see.

I had the same problem when I flashed the unofficial nightly (8/15). Not sure if there's any updates worth flashing the 8/20 release, but I might over my nand, just for shts n giggles.

being as its the same developer, you might just be able to flash over, and keep all your apps, i didnt know that at the time so i just went for full wipe

Yea, if it's the same rom, you can generally flash without wiping. I did and don't see any big differences with the 8/15 nightly to 8/20.

I was on tekhd for a long time but now I'm running stock mm rooted with a few xposed modules and customizations...I like a few of the mm custom roms but there is always bugs and broken things...so I'll stay "stock" for a while...

Oh, nice!
I have gotten used to root and some of the stuff I can do with it.
I understand what you mean though and I find it pretty cool that you can live without root.

Actually I'm pretty interested in the Nameless ROM now that you mentioned it, I didn't really know much about it before and didn't know it was for this device either!
I am very interested in this ROM and I just wanna know if you have had any bugs so far?
Nameless ROM + Marshmallow sounds like a very nice combo, but apparently Nameless ROM also has a 5.1.1 version available too.. So that is cool!
EDIT: Having issues with the ROM but I'll get them fixed hopefully

What about that kernel> which benefits you have? governors controllers?
4.4.4 had some pretty thorough themes made for it. If you are looking for a rom to customize yourself I like Alliance. It wa's simple with the roms built in ui. Tekhd was also themed by pappa mag. His themes we also done well. Notification panel and dialer and toggles. Only issue I had was my gear vr wouldn't play Netflix without getting really bad av sync issues... drove me crazy... went to stock mm and then to overdrive 2.0.1 I think.. and everything is fine.. but there aren't any themes to flash for it so it looks stock for the time being....

Optimal Performance/Battery ROM? Superman Rom or Renovate Edge?

Hello, I am looking at rooting my phone, but I am very new to this (in fact, this is my first Android phone) so I cant really tell the differences completely between these 2 ROMs.
I am looking to get the best performance possible. Best battery life, optimal performance, etc.
Which ROM do you prefer to do this? Superman ROM or Renovate Edge? Or a different ROM completely?
Sorry for all my questions, but any information will be immensely appreciated.
Thanks!!
phoenix rom + Prometheus kernel
KingRom I use and it is flawless brilliant never touched any lag since using it for 6 weeks we are on V10 now it just keeps getting better and better.

Marhsmallow update very slow J500FN

It's incredible, J500FN variants users waited a lot of months for a MM update that is very slow. The ram managament is awful (always 50+%) and it isn't smooth. The animations and the features are amazing, but it doesn't seem an official update. I can keep open like one app at time! If i open 2 apps together it crashes. Is this my impression or do you agree with me?

I'm also finding mm slow and CM13 ain't finished yet (no in call audio )
Yeah, but I love stock battery life. I never liked CM battery life in general. But i'm sure Nick will do a great work as always!
If I go back to CM12.1 will I have to reflash 5.1 via Odin ?

If you're on MM I suggest you to go back to 5.1.1 lollipop stock firmware and then flash cm 12.1
Thanks. Yes i have now done that and am running Resurrection remix 12.1. Is the rom that I was running before and is excellent. Every thing works really well I'm gong to wait for CM13 to catch up before upgrading.

I didn't have the time to flash the rom because I'm waiting for a Kernel for 6.0 by Dj_steve, with it I hope performance for android MM will improve! Also i play a lot Pokemon Go and if I go with RR that is pre-rooted I can't play it (Pokemon go doesnt allow you to play if you have root). But I'll try it soon!
Cool, it's worth saving and try it some time. It's a good ROM and I ain't seen it anywhere else. What is i need to do to be able to post on other forums ?

There's a minimum post you have to do in light sections like Question and answer, accessories, themes and apps before being able to post in development section. I guess you have to reply in different posts, not always the same. Follow the community and enjoy

Noob question - please help

Hi folks,
So my mother has a I9505 galaxy s4 (italian) and I want to install a custom recovery and rom for her to hrlp the device be more functional and fast. Can you please suggest which rom I should choose and what steps I should follow to install the recovery etc..
Thanks!
You can flash twrp from Odin and then you can use twrp to flash custom ROMs.
If you want a very stable ROM, you should stock with these stock ROM or custom ROMs that are as close to stock as possible.
That simple? TWRP and then the custom ROM of choice? Which ROM do you recommend for daily usage which is fast and possibly based off Android 6 or 7?

Are you familiar with Odin? Is the s4 already rooted? (Towel root worked for me) and that is done directly from the s4. As far as ROMs go I have tried almost all of them and ultimately I really enjoyed the tipsy ROM but it runs on kit kat.. Google just recently released Google assistant for all devices running 5.0 and up. So I went to CM 12 running 5.1.1 and it runs pretty smoothly. The most important thing to remember to always always always back up your device..ALWAYS LOL.
And when I first started to dabble in rooting I had the T-Mobile Galaxy S.. The first one that came with Avatar lol.. I'll just say this.. As long as it turns on and u can enter either recovery or download mode you can pretty much recover from and mistake.. Pretty much.
XDA has a great first start section for rooting. And most of the developers are very good at explaining the step by step.
I recommend getting very familiar with your recovery since that will be your primary source of flashing.. Because u can't just flash one! Lol once u get your first successful flash Ro a new custom ROM its like sex.. Gotta see what else u can flash to the device ( for example lucky patcher) and then you will start learning that the developers have some really cool stuff out there..
And CM does nightly ROMs meaning its constantly being updated!
Just do your research first if u don't know ask( obviously lol) Google Google Google lol and ALWAYS ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DEV.
Titanium Backup in NY opinion is the best.. Hope I didn't get to off topic and I hope I helped.. If u have any other questions I will do NY beat to help and answer them.
