I was wondering what people are doing with their 5X's. The Nexus devices use to be a safe haven for ROM users, but with stock Android getting so good with monthly updates, and Android Pay not being usable on a custom ROM, custom ROM's have been a lot less appealing to me.
Nonetheless, I believe that this device suffers from MAJOR optimization issues, and the combination of CM13 and ElementalX kernel solves a lot of these issues, yet I feel like I'm missing out without the possibility of using Android Pay.
I have also grown tired of factory resetting my phone after doing it countless times over the last few years, and I'm ready to not have to do that for a long while, and the most obvious option for that is sticking with stock.
So what are you guys doing? Sticking with stock? Or are you using some custom ROM as a daily driver?

Did someone say custom ROM?
Flashing is addicting. Fun too. And there isn't anything wrong that. If you have the time and patience it is an excellent hobby.
Sounds like it's getting old to you. Maybe it's time to take a break. Try stock unrooted (or rooted) for a week or so and see if it works out for you. If not flash away. You won't be out anything.
I'm on day 3 of stock unrooted (for the best buy deal). I'm going to see how long I can stay this way.

No matter what from I flash and its been many lately... I keep finding myself going back to venums hydra rom. Still rocking it! I like paranoid but this one is more stable and I like its customizability better. The only thing its missing is hybrid settings. Period.
I flash, and always end up running Blazer 4.1 again. Ive since stopped flashing roms. Being a flashaholic with this device just isnt fun anymore. We need ICS. We need SOURCE!

yes, every single dev is switching to the gs3. there will be absolutely zero dev work on this device once the gs3 is freely available to all.

chill dawg, just clownin.
im switching to an iPhone..
the dev is strong with this one.
A few weeks back I took my first foray into rooting my phone and quickly went onto flashing my first rom (Cyanogen 10.2 for Virgin Mobile Epic 4g touch.) I created a backup of my original phone OS ( which when reloaded now goes into a boot loop) however the reason I originally left it was so i could get software that would work as slick as possible with the hardware and Cyan 10.2 does that except for the Data which has fallen by the wayside as the Dev gets on with real life.
I then went to flash Cyan 10.1 as i figured it would be a lot more stable and have the kinks Ironed out. Unfortuneatley I cant even get it to install properly as the the android symbol keels over and dies indicating an install issue before the Rom can even be put on the device. So I'm looking to see if anyone has a Rom that works as flawlessly as possible any ideas?
Don't know what your style is, but here are 4 of the best/most updated TouchWiz ROMs out there. You want everything to work, so TouchWiz is the only way to go on this device.

There is no BEST and yet they are all the BEST. Members are expected to research and read through the Development threads. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!
My another phone galaxy tab 3 is lagging very much. Dunno why but even after the restore factory, it continues lagging. Do you guys think rooting will help me out? Need some experts advice.

First of all, try to use Greenify in order to hibernate unwanted bloatware , or try to shut them off using 'app info' for each app (can be reached from system->app management (see attached pic)
Anyway, rooting your device will allow you to completely remove unwanted apps, and to flash custom roms which, most of the time, performs much better than official ones- but in a cost of potentially voiding your warranty...

Should do better than that! I run stock and all is fine. Quite smooth actually. I have removed bloatware now as well. I'm wondering if something is wrong with your tablet. I bought an asus with a quad core and the thing was slower than a turtle. I took it back and got my samsung t310.
Yes stock ROM is fine, with rooted tab and custom kernel runs really nice. The only thing about the rooting is that you loose OTA and with KK comming soon I hope developers will find a workaround !
...enjoy ur Tab 3
Guys,
I've had this phone for a good bit. Just trying to see what exact combos of ROM/Kernel/apn fix/radios you've flashed to get this ROM working. I've read as many threads as you can throw a stick at, and I've tried a lot of them. Just looking to see what exact combo you are using.
I've tried:
CM11-M10 / stock kernel / apn fix = works great except GPS and known rotation feature
CM11-M10 / KT747 kernel (both version) / apn fix = bootanimation is as far as it gets
The apn fix is because I'm on Boost Mobile. I've got the NF4 radio and know if I bork the thing by using a ND8 radio i can just flash and fix. I always have to go back to stock TW which is so ridiculously slow, even after debloating as much as I can.
MUCH appreciate any responses! If someone is super bored and they have a perfect working mix and wants to share their factory reset nandroid backup, that would be really slick! (I'd do it for you! hahaha)
Anyway, thanks again and take care everyone!!
You could try a custom TouchWiz ROM. There are a few other kernels for AOSP in Original Development. I've posted the GPS Fix quite a few times, here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56760440- you have to be on TouchWiz to do it though.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
I've done a lot of reading but haven't been successful in finding a solid answer, I have a note 10+ n975u, it is sim unlocked and I would love to root(if possible, I don't think it is) or at least flash a no carrier bloat loaded stock software. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solid answer?

No root needed. If you optimize it will run well stock. Use Package Disabler to easily disable apps you don't want running.
Turn off adaptive battery... deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.
The Snapdragon variants are extremely hard to root if possible at all. Not worth the trouble or potential consequences.

Thanks for the info. The advantage I have in this case is that it is not my daily driver. Just one I like to mess around on. Back in the day I used to root every device I got the day after I got it. But I've been away from the game for a while.
You're welcome. I have two, a N975U (Pie) and a N975U1 (10). That's all I use... once optimized these get good SOT and are very stable.
