J5 2016 ROM recommendations (8.1) - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

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.

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.

[SM-G900F] Resurrection Remix or LineageOS 14.1?

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

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.

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?

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:

Recommend A Custom Rom .

Hellow guys, i am pretty much new here, and i am having on my hands a Galaxy S8 with the Exynos Proccesor. I want it to refresh it with a custom Rom. Has to be stable ( as much as it can be) and safe . What are your recomendations?
Thank you in Advacne.
Welcome, If you are looking for an AOSP based ROM, I would recommend Resurrection Remix. Its based on android 10 but has multiple customization options and is quiet stable as well. There are other great roms as well like Hades rom, Alexis ROM. In android 13, rice droid is a nice rom but it has some bugs for the time being.
