So help me and recommend me the one.

Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
OP please do not be lazy, what works best fr someone else may not work best for you due to differences in how you use the device. The only way to find out what works best for you is to try different ROM's.

ROM recommendations please.

Hi All,
Just wanting some recommendation on which Custom ROM to use if I want to use my I9505 mainly for gaming (emulation). Currently it is stock running 4.4.2 as it failed to install the OTA update.
I have managed to install TWRP onto it.
I have looked into LineageOS 14.1 but I have read that the battery suffers a lot (only lats a couple of hours apparently?) not sure if this is true though. As I want to use this for gaming ideally I would like this to last as long as possible without compromising performance.
Many thanks

Although ROM suggestions isn't recommended here, but best gaming experience is in stock ROM or stock based ROMs like wanam's ROM..., it would become better if there is a kernel with GPU and CPU OC..

Rom Recommendation

Hello everyone,
I'm a proud owner of a SM-T530 Wifi tablet. So far i've been using the stock ROM and it has served me well.. up until now.
I only use the tablet to play a game called Summoners Wars. Since the latest update, the game will simply not run stable enough.
What's the problem? There just isn't enough free RAM available and Android closes the game when it well pleases.
I'm now looking for a custom ROM to overcome the lack of free RAM issue.
I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a custom ROM that:
is lightweight on RAM usage
is not rooted (the pesky game will not run on rooted devices)
Thank you!
Update: tried BlissPop 6.0 10.1 and hid the root functionality.
Everything appears to be working as it should!

Performance with Custom ROM Oreo/Nougat vs Stock Lollipop on S4?

Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I'm really curious about the performance of Nougat or Oreo using a Custom ROM versus the stock Lollipop on an S4 I9505.
Do the Custom ROMS of Nougat/Oreo really improve the performance on an I9505 compared to the stock Lollipop? How about the battery?
Really looking forward to answers regarding this.
Anyone who knows this or could test this out of me?
Everyone has different needs whereby one custom ROM may be perfect for one person and a stock ROM is perfect for another person.
I highly recommend reading through the custom ROM forum, selecting a few to try, and using it over a few days with your most-used apps.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a specific custom ROM with Oreo/Nougat that you might have in mind when it comes to performance?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any recommendations since I haven't had a working s4 for a months.

EOL for Galaxy Project... Where to go now?

Since The Galaxy Project is EOL it's time to change to another ROM.
But there are way to many options! :crying:
Please help out a semi-noob what ROM to choose instead.
I'm don't have time to try multiple ROMs. I just want the best one out there!
So.. what's the best ROM? :victory:
Doesn't matter if it's Samsung, AOSP, etc, based.
Main requirements:
Great camera performance
Stable and buttery smooth
PWM fix available

Exynos Versions only...
Try any except AOSP because they have bad camera performance+ lots of issues with social apps,
samsung Pie roms Like BlackDiamon NFE v4 or BDV2 have new UI and are alot stable for daily use, people says that its camera quality is not good as oreo but i did not noticed any difference. the only issue All pie rom have is game performance. so thats the only reason i went back to oreo.

Another lite rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/calvioppe-rom-s7-edge-4esae-5-1-t3904190
another good rom with lots of tweaks...
if you use mtweak app you will be able to enable pwm fix in almost every rom if kernel support it i guess.
Choose any. try look the opening of the thread for information about rom and at their recent comments and decide.
Everybody tried their best to make the rom best. so all are best but choice is yours..
Deluxe rom, black diamond rom, hyper rom.
Basically any pie rom for its speed and ui upgrade..
