I am using Galaxy Tab S SM-T700. Just checked and I am on 6.0.1. Would I get more speed/battery efficiency if I were to flash to nougat? I am using this tablet mainly for surfing/navigating/ebooks and watching videos, not so much on gaming. Can someone recommend any good stable release of nougat for me to flash as well? Thanks in advance!
You can give the LineageOS 14 a try now that there is an official T700 version. It's not like you have to lose anything. Just install TWRP, backup your current ROM to SD card and then flash the LineageOS and a gapps zip. If you don't like it, you can always restore the Marshmallow ROM with your data.
I don't have experience with LineageOS on the Tab S (it has ok battery life running 6.0.1, now that I disabled most standby processing unless it's plugged into charger), but the Oneplus One port of LineageOS is fast and good enough to be my daily ROM on that phone. OPO had the same problem since Marshmallow was their final release. If you're running out of storage space, perhaps LineageOS will help because its /system partition on my phone is something like 1.2GB, which is 1GB smaller than the Touchwiz /system on the tablet. On the downside, some ecommerce and streaming apps will stop working on LineageOS. Netflix no longer shows up in the play store but you can download the apk manually while Uverse app stops working flat out.

After a few months with Lineage 14, I just went back to stock MM on my T800. Everything is running smoothly, and unless something really great and stable comes along, I'll probably stay stock with root and TWRP. The only real advantage for me on Lineage was less memory used. By not re-installing loads of apps that I really wasn't using, leaves me with enough memory that will suffice. I use package disabler pro to stop bloat running. I've had this tablet for over 3 years, put in a new battery this year and I'm OK with MM until I retire it.

linage builds have no fingerprint scanner, if that's important to you.
On most devices aosp/cm is a definate step up, on the tab s maybe not so cut and dried. Devs have to deal with so much crud introduced by Samsung , its a wonder that custom firmware exists for Samsung devices at all, hence there will always be some bugs.
The best in my opinion for this device is a stripped stock MM ( Fenris for me) , which I have been running for a while.

My sony z3 has gone back to sony for repair, so I got my i9250 out as a spare. It was installed with cm13, but as it hadn't been used for a while I updated to the latest nightly. all was good but the camera kept crashing, so i wiped everything, flashed cm13 and pico g-apps, but when it restarts google play, won't start. (nano is too big apparently??)
So i tried using cm12 and the relevant g-apps and got the same result
then i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-omap4-aosp-project-t3334574 and it just boot loops on the the 7.1 & kk versons
It will install cm13 & 12 and start no problems, but i need all my google contacts and stuff
Any suggestions??

Did you use Gapps Pico...? It's smallest...
Day by day letest changes makes ROM bigger, and then our phone doesn't have enough space for Gapps... That is reason....
While flashing, keep eye on Log of Custom Recovery, starting of flash checks space on device first and gives result, then see if Gapps got flashed or not...
Pico, Pico, Pico!

You can't use anything bigger than pico since Marshmallow (and I don't recommend anything bigger than pico, period). I have never had success with anything nano (the largest I have ever tried - and that was only with CM 13); however, pico has never done me wrong (I moved to Unlegacy Android - currently 7.1.0 - for performance issues that it fixes compared to CM13; yes, for some rather odd reason, Nougat performs better than MM on this device).

That's right Pico is the only option from MM and upper. It's very usefull the performance tip you give about Nougat.
I have installed last MM build from:
builds.unlegacy-android.cf/aosp-6.0/tuna (2017/01/09)
Everything goes well (even GPS), it's fast and reliable. But I have a doubt, should I wait till next Nougat (with GPS functional) or should I stay in MM with everything functional and good performance?
Is N release better in any aspect than MM?, obviously I miss the new improvements in Android N that have developed Google, but I mean general performance and hardware related issues.
I prefer an older Android release, faster and more stable than the newer one with more issues or slower.
Anybody can tell? Thanks in advance!

So far, N has stood that meme on its head (compared to MM, L, KK, and even JB) and it's NOT the first OS for any device to have done so..
It's a meme that dates back to MS-DOS (that's right - it pre-dates Windows of any sort) and it's based on a canard that a newer OS is designed for newer hardware. While it CAN be true, there are reasons why the Galaxy Nexus in particular stands the meme on its head.
1. Basic storage capaciousness. Unlike most devices that succeeded it, the Galaxy Nexus in particular not only does NOT support microSD physically, it also does not lose over half the base storage to its firmware - in fact, PureNexus 7.1.1 - even installed as a pour-over upgrade from Unlegacy AOSP - takes up less than ten percent of the GNex storage space; all of 3 GB at worst. That means that more of the basic storage can be used for ZRAM - the Android equivalent of virtual memory in Linux distributions, Windows, or other modern OSes. More modern phone designs support microSD - which has itself grown in capacity as a storage mechanism; however, you pay a price in loss of first-tier storage capacity - every S-series Samsung phone proves it - how do ANY of them compare to the GNex in non-SD-based storage after firmware loadout? Also, you can't use microSD for ZRAM; if you need ZRAM, you must use free basic storage for it - and most modern Android devices simply don't have it to spare. (It's not just a phone problem; in fact, my Lenovo A7-30F - which supports microSD and is running Lollipop right now - illustrates the point rather painfully, despite being a tablet - it is also a MediaTek big.LITTLE "4+4" design that is hamstrung by the lack of ZRAM. Being able to throw more cores at the problem won't help when the processor is not the biggest problem.)
2. CPU vs. ZRAM - Performance of a given application on a given phone is NOT always determined by processor power; the same is, in fact true on OSes other than Android. Still , what happens merely in Android as ZRAM availability - which IS a secondary function of basic storage capacity - decreases? (This is whether the device supports microSD or not.) Does or does NOT performance decrease as basic storage fills up?
3. Not every app needs more CPU or GPU. Out of everything I've thrown at the PureNexus/GNex combo, only two apps (and one game) explicitly require Marshmallow or better - and in all three cases, they were designed for Marshmallow OR Nougat in the first place.
Hello to all,
I have the EMUI in my HUAWEI RIO-L01 (RIOL01C432B170) 3GB RAM 32 GB.
And , i wanted to ask is there any rom that can make better job especially in battery consumption , without any problems or bugs ?
Thanks!
The way I get around it is flashing the stock recovery back from fastboot every time I use TWRP. It's a pain but it works.

What does this have to do , with the question that i made ?
maan it depends. the stock rom is plenty good for the phone. 7.1.2 brings some new things and it will surely revitalize at least the impression of your device, and its a nice experience overall. phone works great on nougat.
it also has some disadvantages - camera will be worse in comparison to stock. battery life might be slightly lower too (not by much).
audio will be better and in my opinion your device will be smoother. its also a matter of aesthetic - emui vs aosp. also you can root your stock rom and put in some audio addons with magisk (i also played with substratum on stock, not worth it).
if you want to check out nougat, its worth it. just backup your stock rom and restore the backup if you don't like it. if you think nougat is boring and stupid, try it anyway because it only takes about half an hour to do all this stuff and go back to stock so don't be lazy. i'm amazed that this device is actually running on the latest android version, really grateful to the devs (surdu_petru, redbeard, allurba, and any other that i might forget right now) they are the real MVPs.
I CAN Not Update MM!
Please help me I can not update, I use lollipop mydevice riol02 (3gb Ram | 32gb Rom)

I am looking for a ROM that runs android nougat. I have a rooted device but have never installed a custom rom on it. Right now, it is just running 6.0.1 MOB30X, the latest update on stock. I want to upgrade to Nougat, but I don't really know what options are available. I want to keep my device close to stock android, like it already is. So, if someone could tell me what ROMs are available and which ones are the most popular and best?

If you want to keep close to the stock android the closest is the official lineageos build. All others have added features which may or maynot affect batterylife and performance.
LineageOS or AOSP will get you what you want.

In my experience no version superior to "Android 6" works well "out of the box" with full working applications of estreaming like youtube, netflix, etc .. and sometimes problems with root, my recommendation if it will be "Android 6" is still better Stock rom. Neither lineage nor much less AOSP and any derivative.
Newbies to all these updates and ROMs releases. I spent a good amount of time dumping various ROM.
I tried Lineages, Droid, Resurrection Remix. I think ASOP is Lineage?
All the ROMs above works well but I could not get gapp to going. Keep saying wizard error when starting up. Gapp is basically play store.
I tried that mini gapp bean and the open gapp 7.1 pico. They both fail during start up. It was trying to run the google apps wizard and keeps failing.
I ended up with Nitrogen-OS-flo-20170316 ROM. Let this ROM flash first than, reboot, go back in recovery mode and flash the Gapp 7.1 pico. This was the only way I can avoid the wizard failing during startup. Everything works except Latest netflix app failing. Get the apk from mirror apk and make sure you get the older apk version 4.2. Don't get the newest 5.x netflix release.
Resurrection Remix ROM looks cool. It's suppose to be faster than Linage.
Since everything is work for me with Nitrogen. I'll stick with nexus 6 Nitrogen for now.
or until someone prove me wrong. Or know why I am having all sort of issue installing Gapp pico on Resurrection Remix, Linage, or that Droid version.

I am not sure if Android 6 or marsh mellow is the best. After I flash with Nougot. It's a lot faster. Loving it.
Hi guys, I just bought a Nexus 7 and i updated to latest official 6. Then i find out OTG Support doesnt have support for exFat, only FAT32. If i try to do Nougat, will it gain exFat support for OTG?
Also can anyone take my nexus 7 and do it for me for like $20-$30 as i am completely illiterate on all of this...

This depends on the rom or kernel as much as whether it is Nougat. LineageOS supports exfat and has clear instructions on how to install it.

Hi guys I have a sm-t800 and the official rom is old and outdated , what's the best Rom to use to bring some more security and speed to the tablet ? And maybe get rid of all the bloatware from Samsung ? Any recommendations ?
It seems like you don't have a whole lot of choices. There is the stock MM 6.0.1 ROM or LineageOS. In my experience, LineageOS ROMs tended to have more visible bugs and hardware support issues, but then I haven't touched LineageOS ROMs for more than a year. You can certainly try both. The stock ROM has lots of bloatware. While you can't delete a lot of the apps, you can at very least try to disable almost all of the superfluous apps that come with the Samsung ROM. This improves the performance (not just CPU, but also battery) and frees up the valuable storage space.
Thanks Akopps I have installed LineageOS and it's nicer without all the Google spy software and Samsung bloatware, installed Aptoide on it for apps and works ok so far. The only thing that seems to be an issue so far is the fingerprint reader
FP Reader never worked for me satisfactory, regardless what ROM. I would also recommend:
[ROM] [AOSP] [7.1.1] [OFFICIAL] LiquidDeathOS - SM-T800 with deathly adiutor + tools on board, in case you are into tweaking. it is the best combination of function+lightweight in my eyes.
LineageOS has been working well for me on my ST-800

I really like this OS and until last week, I've had no issues. I started getting a flashing red board around my screen and response of my bluetooth keyboard has been slow. I ran the latest update but it is still happening. I'm going to check in with LineageOS to see if there is a fix.
I success to root, install lineage14 and the newest gapps on my 2 old "samsung TAB S" several times.
I can't test the auto-update now due to my lineage is brand new (Feb 2020). If there is any news I will update the document.
Here is my doc/screendump if any interest.

Hi,
I have an old Galaxy Note N5110 lying around and would like to revive it. What is the best ROM currently available? Currently it has Lineage 14.1 (I think...) installed.
Main Usage:
- reading and annotating PDF files
- use Mendeley to access my article database
- take notes manually and make plots/drawings
- internet access
I don't care about gaming , social networks or photos.
Cheers
Jorge

I have the same device and to my knowledge LOS 14.1 was the latest supported Custom ROM for this device. It still runs on that, but it feels a bit lagging.

Can confirm. I also have a Note 8 Tablet (N5100) and have flashed Lineagos 14.1 (many times).
There's another thread where someone was trying to flash Lineagos 16 onto the N5100/N5110, but can't seem to find it.
Will update if I find it.
Rr 585 works very well. My son is using it for videos and games. Very stable.

I haven't seen any news on it since, though
I'm interested what battery and screen time are you getting with custom roms? I have LOS 14.1 and I'm getting only about an hour of screen time with a new battery.
That's got to be a bad battery then. I regularly get a couple hours, depending on usage. Youtube not so much, reading e-books... dunno, maybe 5?
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 to this tablet and the battery usage is average to the used by the ancient Kitkat. The issue with LineageOS is about unlocking the tablet, the proccess is too laggy and you have to retry many times to unlock it. I forgot: many gestures are lost with LineageOS, for instance, to pause the youtube videos putting your hand over the screen, to take screenshots with the SPen...
Currently LineageOS allows to update the OS version to 16 (I think it is Android 9) but you have to compile it and to try to update the firmware.
Hello,
I have a samsung galaxy note 8.0 model GT-5110 tablet and I would like to update it to android 11, I just don't know what procedure to do, what characteristics the device has to meet or if I have to download a Rom.
I would like to know what you recommend me to do. Thank you very much
What's the best stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet N5110 in 2022-23? Kindly guide how to update. My device is running on Kitkat since then, but I have used the device very seldom. Its almost brand new ()
