hi..
still on rooted stock GB R800i with locked BL... having plans on flashing CFWs...
i just wanna ask if what is the best ROM / Kernel combination..? preferably bug-free.., light and with the least compatibility issues known...
thanks..
additional question...
what ROM should i go for..? GB or ICS based...? what are the pros and cons..?
I'm currently using NXT by Krisdee. It's smooth and fast, and I haven't encountered any bugs yet. The pros of GB are that they are generally more stable, and support more games (EA stopped supporting ICS or something). I personally like using ICS. It has some nice features, like the data traffic monitor, and I prefer the overall look of ICS. But if you want gaming (though touchpads do work on ICS I think), battery life, and generally a more stable rom, go for GB.
you mean to say that all things are working on the NXT ROM..? i mean wi-fi, camera and others..? i've read some ROM reviews and users reported bug stating that their cam is not working or is unable to tether..

There is a solution to fix "cannot connect to camera" error. Go to settings > quick panel settings > widget buttons, untick LED flashlight, and done. As for tether, it works for me, maybe they did something wrong during the installation. As long as you follow the instructions, you'll have a bug free and stable rom without problems.
If you're a hardocore gamer , i'd recommend sticking to any GB rom , as you'll have a better lag-free gaming experience
for a good GB Rom i'd recommend either NXT 1.3 by Krisdee , or DiXperia 2 by Dikej
I myself prefer ICS for the extra features and better UI , and bear in mind that i don't use my phone for gaming as much as i did before so i don't know how much you'll compromise your gaming experience by using ICS
examples for good ICS Roms : Stock ICS by MarkPhyton "doesn't have any bugs AFAIK" , and the one i'm using now is ICS Pureness ported by Sechko , i prefer it for the better theming and less bloat to deal with
a good non-stock ICS rom is AOKP rom and MIUI By ComicDan , i had no issues dealing with both of them , but i just preferred Stock based Roms
NXT Rom 1.3 is the best rom available now, lucky u don't have to unlock bootloader and change kernel to have it.
Only one bug: when recharge the phone while it"s off, the phone turns itself on. Just this one

I don't think that's a bug. Every rom does that, and it gives you the advantage that you would still be able to turn on your phone if your power button broke.

Lol, you need to flash it on your pc.

You don't flash kernels via CWM, it's done via your pc, you can search the forums on how to flash a kernel

surely
surely
SURELY " MIUI Australia " is the #1 => made by " Dan " magical man
after that , markphyton's official rom
after that , sechko's ICS and miui
in the end trueancesor
If you really want a bug free rom why dont you stick with stock. Who can make a better rom other than the manufacturer?
Hi!
What is better:
The official Samsung stock ROM or a custom ROM? And if second one, which? CM?
I ask this cause I heard that custom ROMs don't have that much support for the S-Pen. And no Multi-Window.
go for stock firmware. I was custom rom flash addict but after i got note2, i choose stock firmware+custom kernel
Me too. In the past devices i go for custom rom for it speed which varies alot from stock. But on the sgn2 i no longer need that as its fast as it is. I just keep to deodexed stock rom with mods which suits my needs.

+1 for me.. Stock deodexed with a custom kernel to get faster charging etc, I see no need to overclock with a device this fast :good:
But don't forget to disable all the lame bloatware too.
Could you link me to that custom kernel?
Are there any downsides to the custom kernel? Faster charging sounds nice.
That heavily depends on what you want. If you like some of the Samsung-specific functionality like S-Pen, Quick Glance and so on, you want to stay stock or flash one of the nice and debloated custom ROMS based on stock. My favorite is HyperNote, but I think it doesn't meet all your requirements.
If you want it even faster and like the Cyanogen-specific style, try any of these ROMS (hint: HyperDroid).
But there is no "need" to make the stock faster, as with this kind of RAM and CPU power, everything will just work fine. Best to make a backup before flashing and just trying some ROMs on your own. Have fun
Just get a deodexed stock rom and you will have everything you need.
What devs do is change the roms and repack it for flashing.
And in my case half of them aren't exactly what I need or are useless.
You can apply all those mods to yours without any data loss
And it's fun :beer:

I've not experienced any downsides, plus it patches the Exynos bug. You are trusting someone other than Samsung to control the internals of your device, but Im happy with that. I do get a random reboots now and then, like once every couple of days but I suspect its unrelated, and I do like to tinker with my device. Phones these days are actually computers and do trip up every now and then.
I use the Perseus kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
I really would't worry about it. If you don't find it useful you can just flash the stock kernel back, no halm done.
Stock rom and kernel are good. The note 2 doesn't need a rom to be more fast or stable.
But for me is important choose the application that runs on my phone as system app. So I need root privileges.
Then I found some roms that had stock things without a lot of S.h.i.t. that samsung have to put into our device for marketing purposes.
And so now for me is better a custom rom because you know what there is and what is running on at least.
Should be in the question section.
Stock custom rom.
It's usually updated to the latest Samsung version, can be modded and has loads of tweaks
Hi i use omega v10 with redpill kernal and every thing works fine battery live is amazing and the rom still has all stock feutures
I have always used custom roms on my Samsung and other phones.. But on my 5T , I have stayed on Stock rom.. I like the rom as it is,..
But....
I cant stop wonder if I should try one of the OREO roms here,,.. Just to see if things can get even better than on stock..
If i wanna try out a OREO rom... What rom shoul I try... ?? I need one as close to stock as possible.
Try... The camera kind of sucks tho... plus you will face some bugs here and there. Like... If your not into taking pictures and videos go for it, Codename Phoenix nice rom.
Yea, until the OOS camera somehow makes it into custom ROMs, I'm stuck on OOS ROMs.
Why is there a difference between OOS camera and custom rom cameras?
I am open to a new rom, but a great camera/video is mandatory. Are there any non-Oreo ROMs for OP5T that have a better camera, or at least just as good?
I generally do not shift to custom ROMs until the Stock ROMs keep getting updates
Custom ROMs are generally free from bloatware with some extra UI enhancements (using substratum). So, if you aren't happy with the stock or you don't like the UI, then only shift to other ROMs
you get faster help and bugs are resolved faster in custom ROMs
If you just want Oreo, then you can flash the Beta Builds of OxygenOS.
Hello friends. I am on MIUI 10.2 . I just want to ask if it is better to change to a custom rom? or there are no much differences between stock rom and custom roms?
If you prefer switching to custom roms, just give your reasons, and if you prefer stock rom, mention why stock rom is better
I would also like to know the answer. Currently I'm on Masik 1.5, but its becoming a little bit sluggish. I want to know if custom roms have full screen gestures like in MIUI and if the camera quality is compared to stock.
Are you from the future? There is no MIUI 10.2 ?
So far the best ROM is stock one. Custom have lots of problems and bugs. You wont find any perfect custom rom. There wil bel always some problems.
I've tried Pie ROMs, for now MIUI is enough, pretty stable and with a lot of features, our device is supported from Xiaomi, maybe a custom ROM will be a good idea after 1/2 years (in my opinion)
Hello everyone. I was just wondering what people were using for a good performance custom rom and kernel. Atm I'm using the stock pie software and NSFW-Kernel 25 custom kernel. The phone keeps freezing on me and rebooting. Not sure if this is because I'm using custom kernel with stock os? Thanks for all the help I've gotten in this forum on my rooting adventure, you all are the best and I appreciate it.
I'm using Pixel Dust ROM with King Kernel flashed. Wiped my phone and clean installed everything, works smoothly and quickly.
Pixel Dust for Pixel XL

I'm also using Pixel Dust ROM with it's own Kernel. I also wipe the phone and clean install everything from start, not using the restore feature. I sync Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between the phone and MS Office 2016 using MyPhoneExplorer (free App). Phone history and texts are not transferred but I keep a copy on the PC through MyPhoneExplorer.
This type of clean install has always given me the best results for performance and a stable phone no matter which custom ROM I try.
The best way to find out is to start flashing ROMs and see which one you like best. What I like or feel is the best will be subjective. Try them all and see what fits you best.
Thanks for all the feedback. I was thinking of trying lineage os, but I don't think v15 is pie and v16 that's based on pie isn't out yet I believe. Also was gonna try the elemental x kernel.
That kernel is good if you are on stock. It can act odd on certain ROMs other than stock.
