Which ROM do you like most? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't see any comparison in this subforum.
Perhaps we can compare and discuss different ROMs
Which do you like and why?
I only really test CyanogenMod 13 and Lineage OS.

Can I add something ---
Which ROM is best for GAMING?

Ah ah I just had the same question. I wondered why there were so many flavors of Lineage Os, and what were the difference. For the moment I have tested only stock (Alxndr's rom) and Lineage 14.1 Official.
- Lineage OS offical is great. The fingerprint recognition is lightning fast, and the rom is globally fast. There are lots of customization and options.
- Stock has however a better battery life, Ultra Power Saving Mode, camera and dialer.
I don't do gaming. However, I can tell the performance in antutu is equivalent (+/- 53.000). Stock had a better 3d score (11.000, vs 8.000 for LOS) and should do better for gaming.
My dream would be a Lineage OS with ported touchwiz framework for edge, camera, sms and dialer. Or a S7 nougat rom with ported LoS fingerprint.

I am running Vaniraosp these days.

And why

I am using LOS at the moment and it blazing quick the only thing is that my phone heats heat up!!

Resurection remix for customisation. Fast and very good battery life base on AOSP.

AOKP seems to have everything working that i have come across and gets nightly updates i like Cr Droid but was still getting rotation issue Kltedv hopefully that will be sorted in the next update

Official linage

Tried LOS, Resurrection Remix and crdroid. LOS is good but seems so vanilla in front of RR and crdroid.
I like features. Resurrection Remix has the most features. crdroid is similar but slightly less features, but excellent battery life of all.
I switched back to RR from crdroid in the hopes of getting battery life improvement with boeffla kernel, forcedoze, hebf optimizer, but not seeing it so far. May go back to crdroid.

@freefourlife
Battery life with crDroid so much better? Any disadvantages?

No. Minor additional features in RR. Planning to switch back, as I couldnt get similar battery efficiencies even with custom boeffla kernel

I feel safer and more stable with official lineage OS, but this is only illusion in my head.

You are in for a treat for v 2.1 when it will be released. They are improving it a lot in terms of performance and battery life.

based on stock mm, great bat life, nice mods on stock SUPERLite MiNi MM *361mb*

i tested AICP, LOS and CrDroid i want to test AOKP, the most developed was AICP, but the battery life and the ram usage was the worst, but it was the better choice, all the things worked, but i prefer LOS, Crdroid it has a lot of bugs in 2.0, i don't tested the 2.1 but a few users said that the sim card is not detected so i will wait, it has the best battery life compared with the other roms but a lot of things aren't working so it's not the best thing and LOS is vanilla but with little customizations, so it's really cool, the dev's can improve the battery life but, i think that if you use LOS is ok for daily use.

I really like LINEAGE OS official. But I use custom TW roms just because I prefer TW camera . So I hope to use LINEAGE OS with ported TW framework for stock or N7 camera .

Never tested AICP, but there are daily updates I see.
crDroid has different problems I recognized that, too. And few updates.
I only have a very small test with AOKP, everything seems working.
At the moment using LineAge OS with (nearly) no bugs. Battery life is OK, but not perfect. Performance seems good, no problem at the moment.
But I'm always interested in other ROMs or interesting features etc.

To be honest, best rom overall is samsungs stock rom 6.0.1. All the features (gps, nfc.....) work, you get good battery life, much more stable than any other rom, and even better performance than any cm. Also all the icons in status bar in cm looks retarded and its hard to understand what they do as there is no text below them, you also get a good camera app that no aosp android has. So yes, overall samsungs rom is the best, iam very dissapointed in the whole cm and aosp roms, they try to bring something else, but they fail miserably to bring any improvements, as there is too many bugs that get in the way.
For best overall ROM, stock 6.0.1 is what you want. Performance and battery life is best on stock.
As for custom ROM, my favourite is Resurrection Remix v5.7.4. Battery life is great (not as good as stock) and has all of the customisation features that I like. CM13 is also good and I find it the most stable custom ROM from my usage. Gaming performance however is a hit and miss on AOSP ROMs.

So i am not the only one that has seen even 2d gaming is very bad on CM.
AOSP? Resurrection Remix. Theyve been rockin as of late. TW? MOAR 7.0. Other than the fact that its a bit old and isnt supported by the devs anymore, its a killer TW ROM.

Which Rom do you Prefer and why?

I'm​ currently on LOS but I Will return to nuclear as the battery is very poor for me on LOS and RR.
Resurection remix. Can 't beat the optimization options and battery life... Best rom for me.

How is the battery life compared to LOS and Nuclear?
I can not make comparisons between roms because I only use RR because of optimizations. I get 2 full days with 5 and a half to 6 hours of screen on time. Can not complain.
Resurrection remix is the only thing that exists.
Unlike the others, I haven't tried RR yet, I thought the locked thread was an indication I should wait.
I've tried Stock MM, Stock N, LOS and Nuclear. The stock ROMs were nice, but I don't get much out of Mifavor, and there are too many default apps I don't need.
LOS makes for a nice base, but requires a lot of tinkering to get what you'd otherwise get from a ROM that's using it as a base.
That's where Nuclear shined for me. It ships with substratum, has nice options for the lockscreen, and statusbar, and kernel optimizations. The battery life has been great so far.
Though, now I'm thinking I should give RR a whirl
This thread should've included a poll. My vote goes to NucleaROM. It is my first non-stock rom on this phone and the moment I started using it I realized how well LineageOS works on this phone and how little I will miss MiFavor or whatever it's called, although I have to admit that the stock rom was pretty fast and smooth aswell.

I love LOS 14.1 and am extremely happy since the speaker output was recently fixed. It seems to have the most support also (the whole LOS team)
I would switch to another ROM if the battery life is better though.. thats my only problem with the axon 7 now. are any of the other ROMs significantly better?
Stock, because deodexing is for noobs and bloatware is for pros.
Seriously, just stock. Performance is always better on stock ROMs.

Lol, let's pretend you know what you are talking about. :highfive:
I am on RR ROM and would not go back to stock. Sound is so much better and really loud without distortion. :laugh:
I have tried most of the ROMs available and I like RR the best. Due to the customizations it has available, I like my phone to be the way I want it.

ROM with best battery life that is not based on TouchWiz

I bet that this has been asked a lot, but since I've haven't found anything that is concise, I'm here to ask it again.
I have a SM-G900M model which currently is running my customized TouchWiz firmware, but I want it to run with Android 7 to have the latest features and to give it a little more lifetime. I've tried LineageOS, but it drains battery too darn quickly to be a daily driver. Is there any really good alternative or I'm out of luck?
Thanks in advance.
CM13-based ROMs (inc. RR 5.7.4) generally have better battery life in my experience.

CM13 is based on Android Marshmallow, which I already use. I want something based on Android Nougat, so I can give my phone a little more lifetime

What rom is the smoothest and stable? Did anything come close to stock?

I've tried AICP and lineage, both Oreo. Both had just don't run well when compared to stock ROMs. I see an OG pixel with similar hardware operate as smooth as butter. Any smooth ROMs?

Hi. I am currently with aosp extended 5.4 and it works very well between this and Validus 1.7 I think they are the best I've tried, in my opinion.
Oreo for our device as of now isn't in good state if you want the stability. Big battery drain and some minor different problems here and there are present in every oreo rom.
I'd suggest some stable nougat roms like omnirom, mokee or paranoidandroid. Battery life is good and phone feels perfect in everyday usage.
Aicp is one of the smoothest very good in nearly every way as is aosp extended,lineage,RR,aosip,validus and some I've missed (all oreo)are really good.I don't experience the lag and instability and battery is pretty good too.

Best OnePlus 6T ROM?

Hi!
I use OnePlus 6T since February and I have never had any problem/issue but I would like to try something new on my device, maybe gaining in battery life and performance, as well as appeareance. Could you suggest me any ROM? Main key is that should be stable, then the other aspects I've written before.
Thanks in advance

Bootleggers. Or AOSiP. But in terms of Battery Life, SkyDragon is the Best. I suggest you flash them one by one and see which one suites you
1 SkyDragon = 8/10
2 HAVOC-OS = 7/10
3 Bootleggers. = 6.5/10
8 months of experience and I am still on it

I never used SkyDragon as Daily Driver. Ran it for a few times when it was maintained by HolyAngel. I haven't even flashed the New Version yet. According to a lot of people, SkyDragon is best for battery life. But Stock OOS + Omega Kernel is also good. It's about personal preference. I really don't like the UI of Omni so I Use Bootleggers as my Daily with Illusion Kernel. I have no problems hitting 7-8 Hrs Screen On with a 24 Hours Standby. With my normal usage.

I can only speak about 9013 OOS because that's when I flashed skydragon. Yes, compared to the older stock OOS release skydragon has better battery. Keep in mind I believe the superb battery life comes from the kernel which you could flash separate to another ROM.
I have no issues with battery life and can't convince myself to switch because the gesture based navigation on OOS is superior to all other options I have seen. I have not tried a third party rom in a while though so no idea if they have improved on that front, but my opinion is that if you use gesture based navigation flash a kernel onto OOS to improve battery life but enjoy the fact that OOS is probably the best OEM Stock rom available to android users.
Another issue with 3rd party roms I have consistently had on the 6T when I have tried them is that when connected to bluetooth in my car, my car does not recognize a cell connection from the phone. This prevents me from dialing out via the car(though I can still accept incoming calls). This can be annoying having to pick up my phone to dial out while driving. I have not seen a way to fix this issue and it is probably a bigger reason than the gesture navigation keeping me on stock OOS. I drive a 2017 Toyota Camry for what it is worth.
Thanks for the suggestions. But which ROM has more features and customizations regardless of battery life?
I have been in the same boat and have decided to stick with OOS for a while. I found an article or 2 about removing bloat ware on xda, did that. Rooted and unlocked. Used Titanium and AppOps to restrict app permissions and put google on a leash. Downloaded the Pixel 3 camera. Installed OxyTweaker for Magisk ( also on xda )module and my battery has lasted 35+ hours on a charge with moderate use.
Also removed the OOS spyware and OOS bloat.
I may try Lineage with Micro G if and when they get around to an official release to see if my core, must have apps will work without Lord Google, but I am leaning toward keeping OOS now that it is trimmed down and the battery life is insane.
I tried RR, aex, omni, oos, aosip, viperOS, siberiaOS...
And the best one for me is treskmod. The most smooth, the better on battery and it has enough personalization for me.
I like asoip now mainly like it better than omni for working video calling and bromite.
There is no Best rom. There are different roms out there that suits the users needs. If you want a rom that's simple use a rom the lineage or if you like tons of options try Havoc os. To me its all up to the user and what the user wants and is looking for in a rom.. There are a few roms out there check them out and try them see what suits you..
