Where are all the ROMS?

I currently have a nexus 5 and I'm looking to upgrade. The G4 looks like a great option as it have more RAM better processor, better screen and mainly an SD SLOT!!!! I currently am getting by with 16GB which is then around 10GB usuable. My question is is this phone worth getting considering I would like a custom ROM. I'd be happy with CM12 but there doesn't look like much support, I can get this phone pretty cheap but I'm not sure as the support just doesn't seem to be here. Anyone with this phone got any advice? Look elsewhere or buy it?

I recently switched to the G4 (H811) from the S6 Edge back in October. I would consider it a good upgrade. The official CM updates are already rolled out and I've been using it as a daily driver even through the buggy (not complaining) Alpha and Beta stages. As a lot of other users have already stated, most of us considered the stock ROM good enough, especially with Marshmallow rolling out pretty soon. The only reason I switched to CM 12.1 was for the near stock look and the lag in the stock ROM. I've heard good things about the CTT MOD, eliminating lag involving thermal throttling. I used MicroMod777's debloated stock ROM. It ran smoother than stock in my experience. I'll be happy to answer anymore questions you have, given my experience with the device.

Thanks a lot. I really like this phone however I don't like stock. I am happy with CM12 though as it has all the features I use. How stable is CM? Are the bugs ironed out now? How is battery life and heat issues? What type of lag is it? Scrolling lag or gaming? I saw the mod but didn't read too much into it, also is over clocking an option via kernels?
Thank again for answering my questions, it will save me a lot of time searching the forums

CM is pretty stable so far, good enough for a daily driver. Trebuchet crashes every now and then and I've noticed some issues with the camera (besides the actual camera app, that's just AOSP camera in general). I'm not complaining, nor rushing the devs, but it's easily usable as a daily driver. To sum it up, bugs are present, but not bad. Battery life is iffy, I can get through an entire day with 2 batteries and sometimes a charge. I'd say it's around 3 hours SOT. Heat issues are way worse on the stock ROM, nothing too bad so far on CM. Lag on CM is little things like scrolling or keyboard animations, and apps crashing now and then. I haven't tried much gaming. Over clocking is possible.

if you guys use CM custom rom, which app use for camera? is the CM camera apps as good as stock to use all features of the G4 camera? or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

I think the issue is because of the bootloader and the fact that there are only 2 variants which is can be unlocked on.
I know CandySix is coming to the G4 though :good:

The other features are worth losing the camera. It's still great for regular pictures but don't expect a DSLR replacement. They're still working on getting the G4 Camera ported to the ROM.

you can use other 3rd party camera apps but you lose some features like night shot which is used by front camera as well.
also shutter time will not be more than 0.5s, stock goes up to 30s.
Its not clear to me how CM will make use of the colour sensor and laser AF. Are shots as quick to take, are they as clear.
Low light on auto ? this is buggy right now from the few samples i saw.
Whether unlocking bootloader automatically disables these features is not clear. Because if it does then its a one way process. You lose it forever.
or you don't care about photos, you just need other features covered by CM rom?

You get 3h sot on cm or stock ?
regardless you should be getting more, on stock.
3-4h on data, 4-5h on wifi. If your brightness is 25% you can add an extra hour in there. This is normal with stock and greenify.
If you can't get that then you need a reset.
I've seen very little to no benefits accruing to battery life by rooting, roms or exposed. if you must go down that route its about features.

3h SOT on CM, less on stock. That's with greenify and screen at around 30% brightness. I'm not going to complain to CM development for those numbers, but I'll try one of the debloated stock ROMs and report back after a few days. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like a ghost town to me. Compare that forum to the equivalent G3 forum, even at the current date in 2014, and it was way more lively.
With every passing day it looks more and more like the G4 has been abandoned. I guess you can't blame the devs, LG are being pricks about the bootloader.

Pretty clear there is not much to choose from and even then they seem to have bugs. This was a genuine question no need to be cocky although I'm sure it makes you feel superior.

Thanks a lot guys, it was basically a choice between the G4 or a Sony Z5 both have little support, obviously the Z5 has only just been released so it's to be expected. I'm just a little disappointed as the G4 seemed so perfect for me hardware wise vs price, plus the fact the G4 uses the 808 as opposed to the 810 which has overheating problems. The Moto X pure is looking like a possibility for this reason now. I tend to keep my phones fairly long so I need something quite stable. I think I will hold off for now until support for the phones I'm interested in grows, unless I see something really cheap in the black Friday sales
Thank you for your help everyone, I appreciate it!!

I'm in the exact same boat man, G4 looks like the perfect phone in terms of hardware but the software situation is just depressing. We'll see how things pan out once Marshmallow has made it to all G4s, but if thing don't pick up I'll have to look elsewhere.

The Moto X pure has very similar hardware to the G4, if it's within your budget I'd suggest looking there once the phone has been out awhile and gained support.

if you can't get those figures in stock then Cm can't do more.
debloated if you have a carrier rom, its not necessary otherwise.
How long you had the device ?
People that can't get beyond 3h sot need a reset. something is running more than it needs to. a reset fixes it. dont just do a plain restore after, install apps in small batches and monitor.

Heavy usage. I got better in CM than stock. I've had the T-Mobile G4 since around late September. And yes, I need the debloated ROM because my stock H811 ROM is the carrier one. I've also noticed less lag on it with animations, particularly the keyboard pop-up ones.

Ah, then 3-4hrs of sot is normal.
was testing with youtube and speakers on max. 1 hr of youtube eats up around 27%. 3hrs of youtube like that and its recharge time.
With bluetooth it drops to 20%. Must be some more savings with wired speakers.
with screen off and just podcasts its 10%/hour.
So far the heaviest usage is recoding with 4k. Do that for 90 minutes and the battery is flat.

I'm actually not sure, I'm almost always using it. It drains around 10% over night (about 7 hours) if I forget to plug it in. That's on the CM ROM.

Bootloader is still annyoing to unlock for most models/ not possible, also this phone has so many different models.
On top of that we got from Lolipop to MM quite fast which may also be a reason for the lack of roms.
If I'd be a Dev I'd rather not put too much effort in Lolipop roms for the G4 if MM is right around the corner.
Dunno maybe it will get better now

Why the Android System battery consumption on Stock ROM high on Op3?

Has anyone noticed this? I have been using stock rom since the start but after 7.0 update the battery drain by Android System is high. I tried different ROM's that are based on Stock ROM, there also the story is same. I dont know about AOSP based ROM's as i havent tried them due to camera quality. Is there any solution to this? Like if it is related to kernel ?
TIA

Depends on how you use your phone day in and day out. If you are using the phone as it was intended to be used (like a phone), then you would expect there to be a system drain component; if there wasn't, you've basically got your phone on airplane mode with every feature and settings turned off. I don't think the system drain is a stock rom issue, it's basically a part of every Android OS. No it is not a kernel issue (unless the kernel is poorly written, usually not the case with stock or any of the other kernels out there for the OP3).
And what do you mean by battery drain is high? You mean it's listed as one of the top 3 on the battery info screen? That screen is basically meaningless and is relative to all other apps/processes running on your phone. If you work 8 hours a day and you don't touch your phone once, I will guarantee you that Android System will be 1 or 2 on that list (next to Google Services). If you watch movies saved on your phone for 6 hours straight, I can guarantee you that Screen will be at the top of that list. That battery info screen is there to give you a rough idea of what's using up the juice.
The phone still has the battery to last you a full work day on a single charge (unless you're a heavy gamer) with email sync, texting, phone calls, music, minimal social media (many of these apps are battery hogs). If you run low early, Dash Charge is quite amazing.

I fully concur with your observation since I had also experienced the same issue when I switched from stock OOS MM to stock OOS N. I don't know what causes it. It was bad and I was forced to go back to MM till I found Vertex OS. It is Nougat and battery life is amazing. It is also stock ROM based.
Some may complain that Vertex has no gimmicks but I am satisfied with what it has to offer. Try it.

I have noticed the same thing since the second nougat beta released around December 15th. It is there even on debloating, trying custom kernels, disabling apps, etc. Then I changed to lineageOS, and surprisingly even on it Android System was on top. Till now I haven't come across any solution.

I had the same issue. It was due to OTG/usb host interrupts for me. Try better battery stats to find out what is causing it.

ResurrectionRemix 5.8.4 becoming slower than before (K420N) *noobfriendly*

When I installed the RR (ResurrectionRemix), I was the happiest man on earth! Since then I was really happy of my hard work that I have been doing for like a month! I was searching so hard and finnaly found a solution on installing TWRP and installing first custom ROM on this beautiful mid-range device!
(Which was a relief of the limitations of my phone in terms of customization and performance which is a MASSIVE upgrade)
Then I realized after a month of using this marvelous ROM that the devs made (shutout to all of the, including pvineeth97 which helped me solving the problem when the custom ROM didn't want to boot because of the KeyMaster files of the stock version that I had) the device has became older and slower... Unfortunately, that's life. We get older, and they get older... It's really sad and your thinking everyday "Could this phone die at this moment right now in my hands?"
Anyway, I just wanted to share with all a slowdown with my phone that happened lately when I installed the Substratum Theme manager and set a theme for the first time. Also I also didn't mentioned, first dry out your battery until it runs out and then charge it to full and don't leave it to much time at 100% because it shortens the life span of your battery.
That's why my Sony Xperia P died in front of my hands(not exactly) because of the battery.
Reason? The phone was 3 YEARS old. Yes... And also, the phone had a screen crack and everything went through the screen. Aperently the phone had a lot of oxigen in it so it sofocated and the battery was ready to explode. But luckily it didn't so, he passed away.
And performance, this was the main part that I almost forgot. After a month of using, I think it was the time he was slowing down and doing some weird things and so on (even this isn't an official build but, there you go)
So watch out for the battery for most of the phones, the performance and the KeyMaster files of the stock ROM that you had before
Also, another question: is it worth it to go back to the stock ROM or just reinstall the custom ROM aka factory resisting my phone?

I'm using substratum and many apps running in background and performance is pretty good just like battery life, because I'm using my MiniX Engine
Try it and you will see better performance, multitasking and battery life…
And if you want you can get even better performance, but then battery life will be not so good, just go to advanced options and change performance mode, on each boot it set to poversaving mode, but you can change it to balanced or performance mode…

Best rom for battery(SOT)

Hello everyone.
I was wondering what ROM you guys are using for the best possible battery results? (SOT)
I used to be a gamer and recently quit all games I've been playing. I'm currently using a mi globe rom.
I also changed my battery like 2 weeks ago but the problem still persisted.
The battery drain is devastating.
Even with the screen off, it drains like mad.
I want some recommendations about a ROM that will give me good battery results, be it official/unofficial or MIUI/custom, it doesn't really matter for me.
I like both.

I think ur battery is dying, and U should replace it. Check for few days battery status by AccuBattery from google store.

How is my battery dying, man? Did you read the post? I just changed my battery 2 weeks ago with a brand new one. It's just the ROM that drains the battery.

Oh, i'm sorry. I missed it...

Hello, my gf's mi6's battery seems to be going downhill but she's had it for about 3 years so it seems normal, I'll have to change it soon - one thing that has helped is flashing Paranoid Android ("Quartz 3") to limit drain on the OS side. Since you seem to be playing a lot of games, your battery running out quicker than usual seems normal to me, but give Paranoid Android a try, it's better than MIUI roms imo (I've got a k20 pro on Quartz 3 as well).

Hmm, I see. No, I don't play games anymore.
If you see my post above, I said that I've quit all the games I've been playing in the past.
I'm just using normal and social media apps like Facebook, Instagram etc.
Guess I'll give that a try. Did you change the kernel to a custom one or something? Also, what firmware did you flash before installing Quartz?
Or did you just flash a fastboot official ROM then wipe data + cache, and installed Quartz?

I am in your situation, have you found a ROM with low consumption?
i think i will install:
- Evolution X
- Rev 0S Miui
- Paranoid
- Pixel Experience
I'm just looking for low battery consumption and having Gcam.

I have literally tried countless things for my phone and I'm honestly left without options anymore. Even though i love MI 6, this battery issue has led me to think about buying another phone. Charging your phone 2 times a day has destroyed the purpose of a "mobile phone".
I've tried Android paranoid, epic rom, havoc os, pixel experience etc, yet no rom left me satisfied as far as the battery is concerned.

I have again obtained a better battery result with the original ROM, changing it for a NOHON. But I think that the latest version of original ROM has excessive drainage. I think a Nohon + custom Rom battery can solve our problem. Have you changed the battery for a Nohon?
Of all those ROMS you tried, did any give you better results?

I'm pretty sure the results were almost identical with all roms I've tried, sadly.
I've changed my battery like a month ago with an original one, not NOHON, so it's practically brand new. Yet the battery still drains like mad even with the screen closed. It's just unbelievable. I really have no clue as to what to do anymore.

Xiaomi does not have original batteries for sale, they are all fake. Fortunately with this brand of battery I can give this mi6 more life. I in your case would try this brand.
I edit:
From this moment on I will test 1 or 2 days each ROM that I have mentioned above.

Yeah, i see. Then i don't know what battery i have because i had a technician change it in a shop around my area. Haha.
Then I'll be waiting for news from you. I will also try some other things i guess. It can't stay like this anymore, definitely.

You can just tell me where you bought it. I ain't such an advanced user to change it myself, sadly. However, i can buy it and give it to my technician so he can change it.
Thanks, appreciate it.

If I put the link here, would it violate the forum rules? If so, I would send it to you privately.

Let's just do it via private message i guess. Just to be safe. I don't know if it's against the rules either.

Hmm, I see. No, I don't play games anymore.
If you see my post above, I said that I've quit all the games I've been playing in the past.
I'm just using normal and social media apps like Facebook, Instagram etc.
Guess I'll give that a try. Did you change the kernel to a custom one or something? Also, what firmware did you flash before installing Quartz?
Or did you just flash a fastboot official ROM then wipe data + cache, and installed Quartz?

If you wanna use Miui, install Xiaomi Eu Miui 11 stable for mi6. It has the best battery life I've seen on mi6.
Else if you wanna use AOSP/CAF, just wait for Paranoid Android Quartz 4. It's the best daily driver for mi6 right now.
I'm using Xiaomi Eu miui 11 stable right now and I'm so happy with it.

Thank you for your answer, i will try it I guess!

Are custom roms for Galaxy S9 worth it in 2021??

I'm having a Galaxy S9 using Exynos chip. My phone's running kinda slow lately, ram optimization is really bad (I'm using Facebook, accidentally press the home button, and when I go back into the app, it's already closed, or the music app sometime quit itself while playing)
So i'm wondering if custom roms are worth to install in 2021 or not since I will lose Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, and probably Iris scanner too if I decide to go for it

AOSP is really fast on the s9 I run it all the time. There is also the Noble project that brings one ui 3.1 to the s9 and it is surprisingly responsive. But if you want to actually keep more that one and a half apps in ram, I'd recommend AOSP as it has great ram management. And crDroid is decent if you want customizability. Though it isn't as customizable as one ui. So I'd say go for it just use an aosp rom imo. Some apps have issues with custom roms though keep that in mind.

yah you'll loose that, but no AOSP roms even use it or need it anyways. Jus remember that if you go back to stock alot of samsung apps might be broken.

Well alot of samsung services can be replaced with google services tbh. And as long as you dont root, you should be fine.

Well maybe you right. I'm using a Macbook anyway, so apps like Samsung Pass, Health are useless

just to complicate your choices there's also GSIs to consider too. a lot more work and research before and after flashing to finally get right how you want it but I hear very good things.
maybe look for other S9 Exynos users running a GSI for a better low down.

you'll unfortunately lose the ambient light sensor with a gsi on the s9. So if you want that the you need a full rom

losing adaptive brightness doesn't sound like a huge sacrifice to me. far more needed work on newer phones and if you join phhuson's telegram, within reason he tries to patch errors effecting all users on a device.

Oh that's cool I didn't know there was someone that did that. For me I sometimes get bothered if the brightness is isnt almost as perfect as it can be for a certain situation which is why I like a automated system to do it for me.
