[SM-G900F] Resurrection Remix or LineageOS 14.1? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to flash a custom rom to my Galaxy S5 900F, but I am not sure what the differences are between RR and LineageOS, and which one is "better".
Thanks in advance!

RR is based on LineageOS and RR has TONS of other features that LineageOS does not have. You even have lots of customisation options when you choose RR.
In my experience, RR is better and I'd personally recommend RR.

In terms of features, RR is definitely bigger and better. Although, in my opinion, that makes it way too complicated. The whole setup of RR is very much unintuitive and most of the extra features involved are just that; extra features. I would consider myself an advanced user having been in android for 5 years, but I barely used anything for the week or so I had RR on my phone. Also, with all tiny bits of customization the menus are very crowded. I mean, some of us don't have a whole afternoon to figure out every customization! And root access, do we really need that in nougat? Not to mention SeLinux. What do you so desperately need that you have to disable that?? LOS on the other hand is smaller, but much simpler. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say that everything just works, and whatever you can customize is easier to access! Also, things like Android Pay work if you flashed the su removal tool to get rid of root. The battery life also is great, and I only need to charge in the evening. I also shouldn't forget that the mantainers for LOS are much more reliable than RR and if you use haggertk's recovery, the OTA update goes seamlessly, like an OEM rom.
Bottom line if you want all the bells and whistles possible, RR is for you. If you want a clean ROM that does everything you need to smoothly, LOS.
Or heck, try 'em both out and see what you like!

i havent made the jump to nougat on RR yet, but its predecessor is pretty much amazing! So much so, that ive been reluctant to switch as of yet. I thought that the nougat RR was released before the CM project died and didnt think that it had switched over to the lineage base.

Resur is better

Stock ROM vs Custom ROM

I've yet to set-up my new OP5, as i'm still undecided whether to stick with the stock 4.5.4 ROM, or try 1 of the custom ROMs that are currently available.
Who's stuck to stock, and who's tried/trying a custom with a kernel?
Stock ROM = ROM that was supplied with the OP5
Custom ROM = ROM that has been shared on forums by developers. etc.

As off now I am on stock but will surely be going over custom ROM and custom kernel. Custom ROM and Kernel surely gives some extra benefits over stock(battery backup and many other features.)
So just test the phone for any HW defects or any for a week or so and you are good to root.
As far as I'm concerned, stock is a custom ROM. Not sure which option on the poll to pick...

By custom, i'm refering to custom ROMs that XDA users have shared on the forum.

Most of what I needed custom ROMs for in the past can be accomplished with oxygen OS now so I probably wont be installing anything aside from OEM updates until they stop supporting this device, if I still have it at that time. And when I do, it's just to try out whatever the latest OS is so I'm familiar with the new features when I do upgrade.
I think the most I will do for now is root, and TWRP but I'm still up in the air about that.
I think Oxygen OS works really nice at the moment, i will stay stock for now.
Updates will come rapidly from Oneplus thus the custom ROMS are not worth it for me at the moment.
Once Lineage or RR Remix arrives i will switch to custom ROMS
I'm on FreedomOS and it's very faster then original OxygenOS... I like this for now better than the original one
I've had my OP5 since yesterday and it's been fantastic and I haven't felt a need to use a custom ROM at all. I also usually add a custom kernel to I can change sounds and increase vibration sensitivity (may still do a kernel). I'm getting just over 9 hours of SOT with everything stock. I mean hell I used Google Maps today for 1 hour straight and it only used 6% battery!? My Nexus would have lost at least 18-20%.
When it's all said and done, I'm sure I'll get the itch to ROM and kernel this phone, but this is truly the first phone I don't feel a need to right now. Of course I rooted the phone and applied TRWP the first 5 min I had the phone haha. That goes without saying for my root apps like TB, Accubattery and Nova Launcher.
Can anyone check if the jelly effect is still there after they flashed the custom roms?

that's exactly what i would do
I really like the stock ROM. Coming from Samsung and LG phones, the OP5 is already running the type of ROM I'd likely flash to those phones if I could. I did root it though, and I'll likely stay this way unless something really compelling comes up, or OP stops updating it.
Using stock for now. I personally see no point in switching to custom until AOSP/LOS based ROMs begin appearing. It's still going to be Oxygen OS with basically the same features if I'd switch now.
As of now i'm sticking with stock. The phone is still young and i expect software updates to happen more frequently. As soon as the ROM's have more time to be developed and mature and OnePlus slows down the updates I will probably switch. As of now all the ROM's and recovery's are still in development and I am choosing to wait till it smooths out a little.
I have tried AICP, Tipsy OS, Mokee, Lineage, Hydrogen os. I would say Stock is the best. My present setup.
Hydrogen Os 3.5.0
Root via Chainfire Super su
Official TWRP
decrypted
Android o emoji's
A few tweaks.
Enjoying every bit.
May switch if CMTE (CM theme engine) comes to lineage Is, not a fan of the present theme engine.
Rooted, because wanted to get rid of the annoying ads and have some tweaks
I'm on xXx 2.0 Stock ROM and it works great. I will wait until everything is working to move to custom rom.
FreedomOS is a very good rom.
Also with Boeffla, Magisk.

Anyone can confirm if zoom 2x and PhotoEditor, for Camera, are working on CUSTOM Roms ?

May I ask, how is your idle drain on H2OS? What did you tweak to improve battery life?
I'm on H2OS too (so far unrooted), and idle drain is crazy... I even uninstalled Google Play Services (using Yalp Store to get Google Play Apps). Now Android System and Android OS kill my battery haha.
Stock OOS 4.5.6
Rooted with Magisk
Pixel Launcher, Android Messages, Google Dialer
Works great!
Stock rom with dirty core, amazing, while dirty unicorns is not released

Which rom are you using and why?

Hi guys,
Thanks very simple I just wanna know what do you think about roms.
My data:
Rom: Stock 6.0.1
Why?: Because I think it's the best in terms of performance
LineageOS. I like it because of its stability and fast updates. It's very close to stock with no unnecessary add-ons.
Latest stock because battery life, smoothness and picture quality.
I just got a used G4 XT1625. I'm staying with stock Nougat until Lineage 15.0 is stable. It works fine for my needs. I used LOS 14.1 on my G3 and that was fine too.
InvictaOS is best in my opinion.
Currently on : 7.1.2 but, soon to be Oreo, may be in a day or two.
Stable, one of the best performing, eduqate amount of features, and fast updates!!
Its all about the personal Choice! 1st of all understand what do you need! Stock or Custom!
The best custom ROM, out of the ROMs which I have tried is Invicta... The beta version of O is out already so you can try that, and it is being updated every week (Almost! Great Dev we have!)
If you want stock, you should use 7.0 with Vegito kernel! It is very stable and gives you good battery backup! Now nothing can match stock, but it does miss out on features so once u have Vegito, u can root via magisk (its my personal choice) or any other, and then install Xposed which is now out Officially and works perfectly with stock. Adds a lot of features and good thing? You can always take stock OTAs as they come along! (you can even try systemless Xposed, I am not sure it will work or not, but it is available)
So its your choice! I have tried both of them and works perfectly! I stay on custom ROM since, it gives me one of the most imp feature that is notification LED, And more ! So, its your personal choice!
Hope this helps!
Same here Stock 6.0.1 with xposed and supersu
InvictaOS because @Silesh.Nair is an awesome developer and I really trust his judgment on what he finds best to put in a rom. And it's stable with features of my liking.
Anyone know which is better for the moto g4 the pixel experience or resurrection remix thanks

It's really more of a personal choice. Try them both out and see which one you like more.
I'm on AICP 64-bit.
Ty ragarianok I'm looking for something to use as a daily driver and I've heard mixed reviews on 64 bit saying its not as good as 32 on our device

Pixel experience has almost no customization options while resurection remix has hundreds(compared). That's the first question you should ask yourself: do I want less or more?

Best custom ROM?

Hi, everyone, I recently put Pixel Experience on this device and I'm not totally satisfied with the experience in battery life. Anyone who has another custom ROM installed in this device, which one you recommend me? Should I change the kernel? Or go back to stock? I'm interested on RR Oreo or Firehound.
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I've been a ROMer for a long time now and in my opinion, ROMs just aren't as good as were before. I used Pixel Experience on my G5 Plus and a boatload of ROMs on my G4 Plus but the stock ROM works just fine. Sure, it may not be the latest version of Android and it may not have customization but it's stable, reliable, and passes SafetyNet. I use Material Notification and a custom launcher and I got all the customization I need. This is just my opinion, you don't have to revert back to stock, but if it were me, I would.
RR-O is really good, passes safetynet completely, and is stable, with no bugs for me so far, except for haptic feedback cutting out occasionally.
Flash Alize kernel. I am using it with PE and battery life is very satisfying.

I have the same opinion now days... I don't even unlock or root anymore, just stock ROM. A few ADB commands to enable advanced reporting in GSAM, Nova Launcher, and a few widgets and configuration changes and I am good with it.
The good old days of romming in Gingerbread, ICS, JB, and KK started dying in Lollipop... and Marshmallow and Nougat finally put an end to it being being bug-free and practical in my opinion. Romming is for people who don't *need* their phone to work 100%, hobbyists, seconds phones, etc.
Don't get me wrong, the developers are great and do their best, heck, I have worked on several ROMs and kernel teams over the years, and it's FUN... but it isn't what it used to be. :/
I'm currently using AOSIP with Alize kernel, it's very stable and battery saving
If you don't care that much about getting updates every now and then( it hasn't recently), and that it does not have all the custmomizations of other Oreo ROMs, AOSIP is a good option, I think.
Stock Rom Is the Best Rom

J5 2016 ROM recommendations (8.1)

Hello, I own a Moto G4 Plus that I have tested various ROMs on and have had experiences with flashing ROMs on Samsung devices, so a friend of mine asked if I could help him out too. So how stable are the Oreo ROMs? Would there be one that could be called the "best" one? Would it be worth for him to switch to a custom ROM or should he stay on the stock one?
Oreo ROMs are very good the best for me are LineageOS and Resurrection Remix OS
Just my personal experience but...I´m yet to see a Custom Rom for J5 2016 that matches Stock Rom. Used all of them from Lineage to Dot OS and although they are pretty stable, performance is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the phone works like a rocket and sometimes you nedd to reboot it to make it usable again. I have kids and take a lot of photos, so the shutter lag in custom roms is a great con, for me.
This may vary from user to user, which GApps you use, which apps you use, so I would give it a try anyway. From the ones I used, Lineage is by far the best.

Please recommend me a good stable custom rom for SM-T580

Hello All,
I just got a 16GB Galaxy Tab A SM-580 and looking to replace the default bloated ROM with a good custom rom.
Can you please recommend me a good stable custom ROM? Could be TouchWiz based, Nougat, Oreo or Pie. Off course the newer the better but I am looking for a stable one with good overall experience at the moment.
Will greatly appreciate that!
In the same boat here. New T580 and looking for a non-stock rom, stable, with all the important bits working. I am leaning toward Lineageos 16.1 64bit.
If anyone has recommendations I'm all ears.
Can't go wrong with LineageOS or CRDroid. LineageOS has that stock feeling, while CRDroid is HIGHLY customizable (at the cost of somewhat higher battery consumption) Just stay the **** away from Resurrection Remix, and AICP. (Way too slow, buggy, and ugly)

Funny ... I've been running RR Oreo on my T585 since I got it and am having absolutely ZERO issues. It's neither slow nor buggy and definitely not ugly - all Oreo roms look the same except for the rom-specific settings menu, so how would 1 be "uglier" than the others?
RR Oreo is definitely stable and I plan on staying on it until Pie roms have less bugs and more features, like being able to use Substratum themes without that damn reboot :angel:
