best rom to use on SGH M919 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

After flashing rom after rom I have not been able to find a stable rom that has good battery life that is also very customizeable. So i have reverted my galaxy s4 to stock and want to know what I9505 rom is the most stable one that also have good battery life that i can customize? also how to flash it?

Favorite theme to use with any TW KK rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657344

Have fun @Caliboy93

Thank you lordodin912! I just came from an LG G2 (broken screen) and wanted to get the lay of the land as well. I think for now I'll stick with stock rooted; that's what I did on my G2, but I will keep that rom in mind in case I feel like branching out.
I'm a little nervous about CM or other AOSP roms. I love the idea of them but there's always something broken. As you suggested it may be a better idea to stick with TW roms for now.

At least have a custom recovery (backup of clean install) then debloat (speed/battery life) and deodex (if you want to theme). And if all goes well make another backup. Then start using xposed.
The issues with CM/AOSP are mostly bluetooth related atm, camera was improved recently. CrDroid with synergy kernel or VRToxin are good ones to try. You can always look into dual booting, no need to be nervous....just make sure to back up your IMEI/EFS and have a copy of the stock firmware tar before starting anything.

Golden EYE i9505 rom also works for t-mobile. Been using it since last june and its pretty stable and decently fast. -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629
use philz cwm touch recovery and pick Ael kernel during options.

Best kernel+ROM combo for my AT&T Galaxy S3

Recently i got the AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I747 STOCK JELLY BEAN ON 4.1.1 from GALASXY S2 SKYROCKET (at&t) also but i need the best combo (kernel+ROM) but its hard to find one
here is what am looking for:-
- good, stable DATA/MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION (MUST HAVE) IMPORTANT
- bloatware free
- fast/overclocking
- easy/not too complex that will fup my phone
- anything that i have not mentioned is relevant too
- other great features like Bravia engine, goo manager, extra features that make it more awsome
- cyanogenmod stable qualities (bug free) sleek, smooth, fast UI and transitions
any kind of idea is valid, open to every suggestion
If you are looking for a touchwiz ROM, go try S3Rx. If you are looking for a pure android based ROM, go for Task's AOKP. I think those are some of if not the best Roms of their kind.

That's for you to experiment and decide not everyone has the same experience on a rom.
Just make a backup of your current setup and start flashing away.
Trial and error.
I may be new here but I know enough, To tell you no one is going to answer your question. A Rom that works for one person is not necessarily the same Rom that will work for another. Flashing Rom's is about hopefully stability, if your lucky speed and battery life, but most importantly about customization. I just started flashing Roms and am still looking for the one I want. I'm sure as soon as I find it a new release will come out and I will get to start over again. As for Kernels I am not comfortable enough to delve into that yet...Good luck...

Best S3, non touchwiz ROM I have found is SlimBean. Not as flashy as some but rock solid/stable with the best battery life I have found so far. Like CM, it is backed by team of devs versus some roms that just have chefs that mix/match/blend features together.
i have been on that PATH as in trying different ROMS but once i tried several i completely fup my DATA/mobile network, i would text and call but my internet (not to be confused with WIFI) stopped working and yu know as a tech savvy guy yu gotta try everything little trick yu know to fix it but there was nothing
forced to use wifi until the day i bought the AT&T S3 and i have my data internet connection working again
i need a ROM that doesnt leave me with no DATA CONNECTION
restoring from nandroid backups helps and sometimes it might not work , other than CM which other ROMS THAT CAN KEEP UP WITH MY DATA CONNECTION

Glad to here it. I have not been brave enough to get into kernel flashing yet. Can you tell me was it a simple flash? How do you revert back to a stock kernel? I here there is a lot of tweaking to do with some kernels? Was Ziggy's pre-set?

You just flash it the same way you do with a ROM. Remember you wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the kernel and if you dirty flash roms, you have to reflash the kernel each time because the stock kernel overwrites it. You revert back to stock kernel by flashing the ROM again or finding the kernel zip and flashing it separately. You can undervolt and overclock with a different kernel that allows it.

Most stable rom for LG G3?

I have the Sprint LG G3. I'd like to run Lollipop or even KitKat on it. Stability is first and foremost, even before features. What would be a good recommended ROM? It definitely needs to be rooted.
If it is based off of stock, I'd like for it to be cleaned up with no bloatware/Carrier IQ. I tried BARIN before, but I ended up losing root after flashing that ROM, so I don't really want to try that one again.

You can root without flashing a custom ROM and debloat from there (using something like Titanium Backup) or the AROMA script in the G3 app & theme section.
Also you didn't mention which variant you own. Kinda important before choosing a ROM.
Last thing, we don't usually recommend ROMs to avoid flaming but you can see which one is the most popular and read the last couple page of your chosen ROM to see what are its issues/bugs.
I tried first android HD at my g3 beast but it was eating so much battery,
Then I installed cloudy g3 rom which is so amazing ... nice smooth no bugs whatsoever and its based on stock,
Next I am going to try chupachups rom or blisspop rom or Resurrection Remix.
If someone can enlighten further then it will be great ... especially stability and battery wise.
Thanks.

Stock Kitkat is by far the best at present. Just root it, get GS3 Toolbox and a couple of other xposed apps to suit yourself and you really do have he best experience.

Best clean rom?

Hello,
Its a long time ago that i rooted and put a custom rom on a android phone
Now i have a question.
What is the best custom clean Google experience rom, with a good battery life?
Greetzzz
What is your device that you are looking a ROM for?
The lg g3 d855 with the 3gb ram version.
The most i want vanilla Google
If you want a vanilla google experience then I would recommend Cyanogenmod or Mokee. These are probably as cm/aosp (I am pretty sure Mokee is cm based but don't take my word for it) based as you can get. You could also flash Paranoid Android 5.1.1 but the devs unfortunately have gone to work on oxygen OS.
If you want an aosp based rom with tweaks (Layers support): At the moment I would probably recommend XenonHD (in my opinion one of the smoothest roms and good battery life (for me anyway)). If you want nova launcher pre-installed I would recommend BrokenOS.
If you want a cm based rom (with tweaks) (CMTE support): Well I am running RR (Resurrection Remix) at the moment and I am loving it. I'm not sure if I am allowed, but if you want nova launcher pre-installed then I would recommend cyanide L.
I am assuming you know who cyanogenmod are. If not, I don't want to say anything that will get me flamed to oblivion by the community but they essentially make roms extremely close to google aosp.
Haha yes i know what cyanogenmod is
4 years ago i built my own custom rom but since then i stopped with developing anything for Android (bussy at my college).
Only functions i dont wanna lose is laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle because i have a quick cover.
Then, the only possible rom that I think that you can flash without losing laser focus, 4k filming, knock on, and quick circle is novastock aosp styled. If you want quick circle you can install the quick circle theme app. I am pretty sure that you can flash a custom camera for 4k filming.
You will lose knock on. And for laser focus you will lose if you flash anything other than stock (I am pretty sure).
If you want a vanilla google experience you should flash one of the ROMs I suggested. But if you want to keep all those features the closest ROM that I can recommend is novastock 1.1 aosp styled.
Ah okay, thats the problem for me to put a custom rom on my phone, because i wanna use these functions.
Then your best bet would be novastock 1.1 aosp. It has all the functions and the devs try to make it as close to aosp as possible

And cloudyg3?
Cloudyg3 is a stock based ROM but will look like LG and feel like stock. With novastock it's themed to look like aosp. Also, cloudy has been stopped being developed
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Ah okay yeah i dont want a stock rom with a themed aosp over it, i rather then have the stock rom.
Haha i just will start first rooting my phone and then look futher tnx for your help!
No problem

Now keep in mind with stock or in my case cloudy i use exposed modules and it is almost completly themeable i download keyboard themes from lg smartword but i love it all the themeing i need on mine is done througb exposed

Hello World!

Hi, I'm a bit new around here and I'd have a few quick questions.
I want to see what a few custom ROMs have to offer and I have a few spare phones to play around with.
LG G2 mini
LG G2
LG G3
Which of these should I mess with? The mini seems the most expendable and is in factory fresh condition while the other two are all set up and in use. Also I know about roughly only cryanogenmod, any other stuff I should look into?
G3 can be recovered even from hard brick.
You can easily go with that.
Go with the g3 and try exodus, its the best rom I tried!
Allright, I'll give it a try. Thanks! Exodus looks interesting, I'll think I'll be switching roms till I find one that fits. Going for something preferably barebones.

You can give a try to Fulmics 5.3. It's really awesome.
For LG G3 you have to consider Fulmics as stock-based rom: much stable and customizable.
As CM-based rom I can't forget to cite Resurrection Remix: it's absolutely the most featured rom, there is no competitor at all.
However v5.7.3 seems to be unstable. Wait for v5.7.4.
As AOSP-based rom try Dirty Unicorns: full featured but lacking some CM setting (like LiveDisplay) and CM app (File Manager and others).
Are you interested to kernels too?
The best ever is Gabriel-MM (for stock-based rom only).
You can use Kernel Adiutor, Synapse with modded UKM or modded Stweaks to customize it under many aspects.
For AOSP/CM try aCC Kernel: the worthy heir of Nebula Kernel.
Full customizable with Kernel Adiutor or its modded version purposed in thread.
However it seems suffering charging issues on v1.6. I hope to be wrong.
Gold luck with your LG G3... I forgot, as recovery you may consider not only the official TWRP, but the modded one too purposed in thread.
It provides some improvements and other backupable partitions like modem and efs.

Is there any custom rom for the galaxy s6 sprint?

Hello, Greetings to all I hope they are fine, I was wondering if there is any custom ROM for my Galaxy S6 Sprint (SM-G920P) (Zerofltespr) a rom that is pure android like lineage os and Resurrection Remix, the problem Is that only I find roms stock modified and I need one with pure android, if ne can help I would appreciate it.
No such ROM at this time, probably not going to be one.
Why? Difficult, close to impossible, to create one for this processor.
I use the Biggdaddy ROM and am quite happy with it.
Yea, I'd have to go with Koop on this one. I had settled with the Bigdaddy rom myself and really liked it! And coupled with the SkyHigh kernel it's been super awesome! I highly recommend it if you're staying with Marshmallow. I'm prepping for the move to Nougat myself now that there's a SkyHigh kernel for it also. Now I have done a little experimenting also. I was able to get some of the other custom roms from the other variants to work but only after I flashed a Sprint kernel afterwards but there were a few minor quirks that I cannot recall at this time. Might be worth the time to play around but be careful and keep a Nandroid backup handy if you can!
