[Q] Is it worth upgrading stock to CM13? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I just now joined XDA, but have been using the forums for quite some time now.
Is it worth upgrading my S4 Mini I9192 to CM13?
One thing that is holding me back is that I had a Samsug Galaxy SII and had CM12 on it, but after a couple of months it started shutting itself down and had become overall buggy. So I upgraded to CM13 and the problems persisted. I personally think that the cause was the fact it's an old phone rather than the ROM itself.
Could someone give any advice on what to do? Thank you!

Just Try and use Remix Kernel. If you don't like the rom, you can back to stock rom by flashing via odin I suggest you to try RR MM Rom & Bliss Rom

Thanks for the advice. Although I've never flashed anything besides CM I guess it's time to try something new.

What to do with the phone to make it usable?

My friend has an xperia m single sim model running latest official firmware and its is very slow. Hangs quite often and takes 2 to 3 swipes to unlock the screen. So i thought ill flash the phone with a custom rom.
Im good with flashing phones and have done it a lot. I always do my research before flashing to get the best rom for the phone. But with this phone i am stuck. I dont think i have found a stable rom yet. I know i should not ask which is the best rom but still can someone suggest a rom which can be flashed to this phone.
The problem is that after i will be meeting my friend for a day and i cannot flash it for a long time. So i dont want to put a rom and then after few days he finds serious bugs.
So some suggestion please. I usually go for omnirom or cm11.Some advice regarding rom,kernel,recovery would help me a lot
Thanks

Try Latest build of CM11 FXP, that is most Stable Rom according to me.
I'd say it's latest build from FXP (it's 326 so far). No serious bug or annoying UI. go for it. :good:
i will go with cm11 then.Thank you guys one more doubt. Does cyandelta work with fxp builds?

HELP!! How to restore original NOTE2 7100 ROM ???

Hello all,
I need help,
I flashed my origianl rom without backup using TWRP ...... i tried a 4.4.4 modified rom, cm11 and another lollipop modified rom
They are all giving problems, slower and overall worse than the original rom
could you please direct me to a tutorial to install the latest original note 2 rom please ?
I didnt change the kernel, it should be the old original one
phone is currently rooted (i used auto root)
And the bootloader/recovery is TWRP from TEAM WIN.
How do i go back to the latest original note 2 rom pelase ??? thank you very much in advance! :fingers-crossed::good:
edit:
going a bit off topic here but if anyone would know any of this 2 you d make me happy
1. what are the fastet lollipop custom ROMs? i like the interface but it tends to be slow ...
2. I miss the s Pen visual feedback dot on screen when i moved the pen nearby the screen in the original rom, do you know how to get that feature back please?
Didn't you do systembackup either with twrp? maybe you can get stockrom back that way.
maybe you can try cm12.1 it works ok for me (about 30% for me now)

Try Eclipse V5 if you want a TW rom. I am using it. I just flash it two weeks ago. I also on stock 4.4.2 before this. First time flashing. Never knowing soo much about rom and other stuff. Make sure you read a lot before flashing. Most of the instruction can get online. Although V6 is out, but i still stick with V5. Most V5 info can get from "[ROM][GT-N7100][TW 4.4.4] Eclipse By AC" under "Galaxy Note II Original Android Development". Happy flashing.

i have been using android version 5.1.1 based on CM 12.1 by ivan meler and i have been using this phone with this rom for the past two months , it's development has been completed that means it is the most finished version with literally 0 bug or lags and i must say i didn't expected this kind of performance at all ... this made me revert back to my note from my iphone 6 (you can imagine the smoothness of this rom) i would not recommend you marshmallow based roms becasue about 20 days i tried one and it had issue so if you use this device as a daily driver i would say go for 5.1.1 roms instead and CM 13&MM is still in development phase that means developers are still making it worthy .
you can hit the thanks button if i helped if anyhow .. if you need any noob friendly guide on how to root and install custom roms you can always ask me .. and there are quite of few tutorials on xda a well as Youtube

Yes it's based on CM but I tested some Marshmallow Roms and this ROM is really good.
Try Ivan Meler's Cyanogenmod 13 Rom ( Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow).
It´s pretty stable and i had no problems until build 6.
Wirth build 7 there is a problem with bluetooth for some people.

All the custom ROMs (not Samsung official) must be installed with a custom recovery like TWRP or ClockworkMod. The custom recovery can be installed with Odin.
I have been like a month with CM13 and I had no problems, but if you want a stable ROM, install an older one like CM12.1 aka Lollipop.

OK. And how it's update?
From 12 to 13 When will be stable. Need again flash and wipe or OTA update?
Try Dr. Ketan's kit Kat, N3, N4 and S5 features. Truly superb. Great battery life, Viper FX for sound. Stable. Tried many but always come back to this one.

Help! Need Stock ROM for I747 running 4.4.4 custom ROM

I have a Galaxy S3, running a Slim Kat ROM with Android 4.4.4. I am need of a stock ROM that I could flash to my phone. When I try using Odin, predictably, it fails because the only stock ROM I can find is version 4.1. Does anyone have a stock ROM that would work? This phone was already rooted with a custom ROM when I bought it. I like the freedom and the absence of bloatware, but I have just had too many glitches. The battery life also seems worse with custom ROMS (I've tried several), and it wasn't good to start with. So, I would like to put a stock ROM on here.
if its an att (i747) see this post , it might help
