Develop Bugs

[Q] What rom do you guys want? I'll build it.

I want everyone to tell me a rom they favor, that's not here already, or that was stopped on development a few versions back. Which ever rom (or maybe couple of roms) I see most, I will build. Check my signature for the ROMs I've done on the S5.

How about CyanogenMod ?

lollipop 5.1 for samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0 wifi
Build it and I will come! Test it! sent from KitKat 4.4.2

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-cm12-t2997934
Please build it ... i'm ready to test it if you want

Any lollipop rom really!!
But my favorite is validus rom

I'd like a slimmed down rom for the p5210 that supports Chromecast so that I can continue to use this as my entertainment hub at home. Right now I am running stock KK. I have removed some unnecessary apps and installed a lot of good stuff but the limited ram here really makes this tab sluggish at times. Even if you could port the slim rom for the p5200 to this device I'd be ecstatic. S.O.S.

Maybe?
An updated version of PAC ROM for the SM-210/R would be super awesome! :laugh:

Any updated rom for sm-t113, i will help test .. currently there is no recovery nor any custom rom for this new tab 3. None at all.... thanks in advance!
Cheers!

I REALLY want a stock lollipop 5.1 ROM for SM-T210R! There is a Galaxy Tab 3 Lite lollipop ROM that you might be able to port over or build from...

Low ram use with long battery life that dual boots kitkat and this

I would love to have a 4.4.2 KK rom on SM-T110 ported from T210, that would be awesome, i don't know why samsung won't do Official KK for Lite T110. I can be a tester ofcourse

Yeah, I wish someone can continue development on the existing CM 11 ROM. But that will be hard to do, especially when the proprietary drivers are hard to reach. Or, what is there I can do to help speed up this ROM's development?

CM finally for T211
pls

A clean fast 4.4.2 ROM. That will support Kodi, so it can be used as a media center (addon).
Now lets just hope it's for the SM-T210 model.

Hmmm kodi does sound awesome

If you want to do the Galaxy Tab 3 community a favour, you could build a pure, AOSP ROM for the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T210/R). There practically are none, the one's I could find run some deodoxed and/or debloated form of the stock Touchwiz for 4.1.2 or 4.4.2. A Cyanogmod would be nice, 10,11, or even 12 and 12.1 be amazing!! And I would be more than willing to test the ROM on my SM-T210R.

A gaming rom with internet streaming via kodi that can also boot into kitkat might be a good idea to make for gamers it should use less than 50 mb of RAM to be MLG ... unless jellybean has reasons to be existent... im pretty sure everybody likes kitkat better

Yeah current minimal requirements for Kodi Android (current/latest version) is 4.4.2 so anything above will do.

For the love of god, PLEASE, someone build ANYTHING for t110 beyond 4.2.....how the hell is this tab stuck on jb???? I'm so confused!!!! I've never seen a device get the red headed step child treatment so bad in my entire life!
Bonus points for AOSP, or even ANYTHING not touchwiz.....hell, I'd rather see iOS running on this thing!

Seal 4 was a good rom but would like to see if lollipop can run on this tab 3 t210r. Will test.

best rom to use on SGH M919

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?

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.

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.

SM-T800/T805 : Too much rom to choose from!??!?!

I've run Schischu ROMS on both my SM-T800 and SM-T805 for a while, I have read he does not update its ROMS anymore. malosasha took over Schischu for Android 7.0, but this version is not smooth enough for me at the moment.
Which are the best AOSP (simple and Nexus-Like) ROMS? I know a lot of dev like to tweak and give fancy names to their ROMS, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wants a clean and lightweight ROM.
Any suggestion and/or ROM comparison?
Thanks!

Are android custom roms still worth it?

Dear folks,
a few months ago I brought my Nexus 5x and consigering that I was using my Samsung Galaxy S3 before a new world opened for me instantly. Now I have the Android version on my phone that is current right now actually. I have a clean user interface to interact with and the most satisfying point is that I am not forced to use my phone with such an amount of bloatware as it was the case with samsung.
In the past I used my GS3 only with custom roms like cynaogenmod (R.I.P.) because of this ugly and laggy touchwiz. With this way I was able to consume the new android versions aswell and profit from the pure stock android experience I newer was allowed to consume with samsungs software trash.
Now I owned my N5x and things changed. Now it is self-evident, that I can experience stock android. My device doesn't lag with any task anymmore and I got not too much unnecessary apps preinstalled. Well I rooted my device and finally got the best android experience since I use smartphones. No more wishes unfulfilled.
That got me thinking...
I really loved the fact, that I was able to flash any rom on my previous phone that I wanted to and I was not willing to use my phone without these. But now when I got my nexus I do not see the advantages of custom roms anymore.
I do not need to flash a custom rom to get stock android.
I do not need to flash a custom rom to get the newest android version. The opposite is even the case since the nexus devices get every update first.
Thank to the community behind the nexus series even the additional features of some custom roms aren't an argument anymore considering the fact, that most features came out as a flashable zip file for the stock roms or I use substratum or xposed (when it finally arrives in nougat :angel: ).
So I considered wether I should give lineage OS for the N5x a try or not and I do not see the point why I should flash it. I would not get anything in addition, that I miss now I guess.
So what du you think, guys? Are android custom roms still worth it? Why should I flash a custom rom? Why do you do it? Let me know in the comments.

If you are happy with stock, why change it??
I use custom ROM just for ease of theming. And some shuttle customisations.
Lineage OS does not include theming, so i won't go for it. If you want to experiment, try something with OMS7 theming baked in. My daily driver is ABC ROM.

I used the stock ROM for a very long time, and was very happy with it. In fact, switching to a custom ROM saw very little difference, esp in look/feel of the OS. You are absolutely right that the main reasons for a custom ROM are negated by the fact that we're running a stock android that gets updated very frequently.
That said, I will say that after using a custom ROM/kernel, I don't really want to go back to stock. I could if I need to, and would work fine, but there are a number of small things that I am using that I really like. I get MUCH better battery life on a rooted ROM with kernel. I can set up custom profiles for doing what I need to do, when I need to do it. Some of the Magisk camera modules for these are great, and recording video is much better (60fps with EIS). I also don't like having my /data encrypted, as I feel like it slows the phone down for no reason.
So yeah, stock is fantastic, but there are small things that do make it worth it.

1st mate welcome to stock community of android, that happen when you buy a nexus(pixel now) , stock rom is perfect!! i change time to time roms, now i use stock/lockbooloader. there 2 reasons,well if you like more..... the are 2 tipes of ppl...
lets start form the basic.
1) why you pick a nexus? the most classic answer to this is.... cose i like the stock experience(true that is great) and cose is the only devices that take 1st and fastest updates for 2 years(true that too )
2) and now comes the question. sould i root my nexus? and why i do this, the phone feels great, is fast and not lag at all.
the answer to this is cose with an unlockbootloader a new world opens to custom roms,kernels,mods/apks/themes. yes the icons and feels is more or less the same... but is not the same 100%!!
so in your case think what realy you want from a custom rom before you unlock the bootloader, the reason that some times i root my nexus is 3....1)cose i like to have a tone of customaze in settings/nav bars/themes etc 2) i like the daily or weekly updates God i love the icon in notification bar when i see it LOL.. 2)and finally some better battery life with a custom kernel!!
so next time think what you want from a custom rom!!
i have test a lot of them!!
if you like customized settings etc LOS(lineage os) is not good! los is stable/daily rom with daily updates/support with some extras in settings but not big deal, is close to stock when it comes to customized!!
full customazed roms and good for daily use is DIRTY UNICORNS D.U // RESURACTION REMIX A.K.A RR // TESLA,VALIDUS ROMS // BLISS ROM // AND OFC PURE NEXUS P.N
but other roms like android ice cold project a.k.a A.I.C.P and Mokee rom is good fast or daily support updates.
p.s sry for my bad english!! i hope to help you!

You cant use custom kernel on stock rom? or mods like the 60 fps recording? I thought you could
I always use custom roms because of the personalization. Not themes but features, some of them are great. Also updating is so easy just download zip and flash from recovery.
Stock rom OTAs encrypt data and install stock recovery and I dont like that, also It is said custom roms are smoother. I still have to try pixel rom though, which is based on stock rom

I wrote this question for my pixel last week. It's probably bc I've been flashing for a long time but it's nice when things work correctly which sometimes doesn't happen with custom ROMs. For me I've been happy with stock but with a custom kernel and root. I still use root and a customer kernel cleans up the performance but stock rom is good for me.

I think you mis-read what I meant earlier, or (more probably) I wasn't clear. When I meant "stock", I meant 100% stock, meaning stock ROM, stock kernel, locked bootloader, no root, etc.
If you used a stock ROM with a custom kernel and Magisk, you could get a lot of those same things, I'm sure. There are still small reasons why I like Pure Nexus ROM, tho, like the battery bar tweaks (removing the icon and having a thin bar on the top), night mode, the Pixel launcher, etc. Plus, I don't have to have the FULL gapps suite, I can only have what I want installed.

Coming from flashing ROMs and kernels on an HTC EVO, Galaxy S2, S3, and S5, it was nice to finally be on stock and not feel the need to do it anymore. I was going to after a few months but updates really improved the experience for me compared to it's original release.

I won't buy a phone that doesn't have the ability to run custom roms. Particularly, CM / Lineage. So for example, the Pixel is out.
1. I get to choose what starts up with during boot up.
2. I get to stop unnecessary apps from running in the background. Guess what I don't want an app running if I don't have it open. Turns out my wife doesn't either for most of her apps. Do you need apps chew through mobile data or tracking your every move even though you don't have them open?
3. I block many apps from data / wifi entirely. They can't load junk like ads, phone home etc.
4. I easily block various applications from my data, as needed. A game does not need access to my contacts, etc.
5. There is still a lot of customization that can be done in the custom roms in regards to layout and such that is not in stock roms.
I realize that some of those things can be done in the stock ROM once you are rooted, or there are work around ways to do sort of do these in other ways without root, however many those are just some of the things I can list off the top of my head that you can only sort of do or only partially do in stock form.
(It's been a long time since I've run a stock ROM, so let me know if it's changed, I could be off base?)
We're not talking kernels, but once you starting tweaking the kernel, plus keep all the crap from running in the background you can get decent battery life out of this phone.
