How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.
Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031694
Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.

Really after 1 year of flashing more than 30 Custom ROM On my i9505 ,some based on the Stock and some based on the pure AOSP, I got nothing
All custom roms is just a vain and wasting of time
All the Custom ROMs have a bugs , problems , etc....
some make the device very hot , some make the battery fast drain , some make the device unstable , etc...
but with the Official rom , no problems , it's completed with no bugs , even with rooting
alot of devs make a roms whatever the rome base , but all with bugs , and when we ask the rom developer about the rom makes the battery drain faster he says : it will be fixed in the next rom update , and some says use UPSM to make the battery not drain fast , but why?
why I put my self in that situations as long as SAM maked everything be very good with it's Official ROM !!!!
really all the customs is very bad , and may the customs makes me able to use the other features like which in the S5 or Note 3 , but as I said all with bugs
I like the S5 Camera features and I tried it on mt i9505 but with bugs , where is eraser mod ? etc... the original S4 Camera app always can do the missions with perfect performance !!!
now I am on the official NE5 and received about 4 updates which made the device act as pro , so no need of anything else
and anyway S4 will not be something else whatever the features gained from the custom roms , S4 Camera will not be as 16 MP if I flash the phonex or imperium , S4 will not be as 3GB of RAM if I flash the rom with Note3 features
the conclusion : S4 will be S4 forever , the only way to make S4's Camera be like S5's Camera (I mean the app) is SAM Update with all the S5 Camera features and nothing else , and I think a lot of the pro devs after a years of developing some roms for i9505 is now using the official rom on their own devices because they sure that it's the right thing
thank you and again ****ck the Custom roms
I egree with OmarManLover after 2 years of flashing i am back on stock rom
Omg you're both so very wrong!
After my first year being rooted I went back to stock, lasted just under a day. Custom ROMs really do offer so much more and I for one appreciate all the hard work and hours the devs put in and will always continue to use custom ROMs.
I'd have to agree with UniqueFreak though, Custom ROMs make in to a completely different beast
Custom ROMs aren't for everyone. You have to have some patience to get it set up perfectly for your needs and taste, as well as be smart enough to learn how to take full advantage of all the additional features/tweakables.
I'm using stock google play edition ROM. I tried the latest stock samsung when I upgraded boot loader, modem etc.
It was laggy, UI feels like it's from 1998. Camera is great but gallery is really slow. I hate that you can't slide between tabs. Just feels cheap. Window animations and ui sounds are not my cup of tea.
GPE is optimized and has all the proper drivers so it runs smooth as silk. camera/audio quality is great. Only thing I miss from Samsung is the brightness slider in notifications.

I think that samsung official stock rom has a beautiful UI,features but it has bad performance
Instead google edition or AOSP have good performance and less features
If you want beautiful UI,features and performance i suggest you to wait for android L

The only additional features touch wiz has are gimmicky stuff. Aosp has the ability to add just about any useful feature your brain can think up through root apps or closed modules.
First , thank you all for your participation with my thread
I know that the Official stock rom miss some good features like the tools which works with an custom kernel like GoggyMax ,Talexop , etc ... which means that I cane control the CPU voltage , clocking , etc...
but may be I was wrong , really I miss a lot of things with the official rom like UPSM , download booster , Air Walkup , etc.... and may the rooted stock rom is not enough , I tried rooted i9505 with stock official with wanam xposed , complete action+ , Greenfly , etc .. but did not get the extreme performance like the imperium , phonex , etc...
and I was unfair when I said **** the custom roms because their is hard workers behind that custom roms working night and day and I now apologize to all of them , now I get back my word and whatever the official rom is stable or not , the devs is stronger than Sam and always beats the sam head
thanks for all the devs for giving us the new features from an devices which stronger than us , you are the MEN forever
thank you
Just came to the i9505 after more than two years on the i9300.
On the i9300 there was no denying it : nothing beats a clean optimized stock rom.
But here on the i9505, there is this marvel that is GPE. It's like the best of both worlds : AOSP performance with Samsung official stability and support. Actually GPE should be considered stock.
I agree with you about trying to turn GS4 into GS5, then Note3, then Note4 etc... But it's just a matter of what you expect from your phone : some people see it as a really fun tech accessory that they want to tweak and try all sort of gimmicks on, some other people see their phone as a reliable tool and need stability above all.
Pointless debating it. Custom vs Official is a purely personal choice. Each ROM has something to offer make your own choice and be happy with it. The most important thing is that we have a choice. Thank you Developers
I use the stock rom because i like the things easy with zero job out of the box, but sometimes i test some customs and are too good, i can use any as daily driver, sometimes i can see bugs or details i dont like but i think this is personal opinion and too much roms are work in progress what can you spect for nightlies or betas? A final result? Bah...
Thanks for all cookers too make awesome roms and kernels, without you i cant enjoy my old terminals, without you i cant extract the best juice from my devices.
Horrible thread, how can you feel as dev if you do all these work for free and read that things... Beh...

I tried stock touchwiz, tw-based rom, gpe, and cm. Ended up using cm11 for a good few mths now, and never looked elsewhere.
I like gpe too but cm11 has added much more features now, plus I can dirty flash updates. No need for backing up every time. Makes my snapdragon 600 cpu worthwhile.

this is always the same question... but "de gustibus non est disputandum", however official is always better for stability but we have touchwiz and nexus experience( official too ) so you can choose the best mode! and this is great!

What are you even doing here on XDA? Clearly it is not for you. You are just one of those new generation members that think this is some sort of servicedesk.
I don't know if you noticed but its XDA DEVELOPERS. That means developing. Developing means bugs. What did you expect? That if you use a ported S5 camera app that everything works? Because if you think that then you are just dumb.
There are so many custom roms. Some are almost bug free, some are experimental, some are heavily themed. The more modding the more bugs there will be. That you can't find a good stable rom says more about yourself then about the roms here. I am using stable customs roms with no bugs that I noticed.
So yes you should stay on the official roms and away from custom roms.

Drawbacks is OTA Not working
Use stock rom otherwise every stock rom is infected with issues, use cm14.1 otherwise, it got android 7.1 and have lots of features.... By no name (you can search for it on xda), I'm using it too only problem is screen recording
[ROM][7.1.1_r13][N6F26Q]AOSP 7.1.1 for Galaxy S Duos 2/ Trend Plus S7580/S7582
Best ROM here.. Android Nougat
Bloat free
Great battery life
Completely stable
Daily Driver worthy
My best experience was with Milktea. I am not using it right now but the link to the thread is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7582/development/rom-milktea-rom-samsung-galaxy-s-duos-2-t3146849
CM 11 [LineageOS 11]
If you dont want to flash rom's again and again go with cm 11 latest buil from jenkins server. coz every ROM has Some bugs. but cm11 is far better than any other ROM.
and this qstn is not allowed in XDA forum try ROM's by yourself and share your experience in respected forums. ^-^
It's said that if you wanted the experience of the row form of android then use cyanogenmod roms, and that cm12.1 is the best of them..
It's also said that if you wanted alot of themes and good looking rom then use something like miui, our phone doesn't have but miui 7 (based on cm11 rom) and that's the rom i prefere the most..
but sadly there's few bugs on this rom:
1-broken video playback, and that's what bothers me, you cant play videos with any app including the youtube app, but there's some apps.that could play videos in this rom like uc browser, use it to watch youtube or any online video, and vlc for any local video. note that mx player doesnt work and mi video, and videos on facebook app.. :/
2-only one sim works.. and i've no problem with that because i only have one sim -.-
3- in home screen there row you cant touch.. (i'll put a picture of it in the attachment).. so yo fix it, close two fingers together to adjust your homepage, you'll see (move app) option press it and move the apps to someehere else in the homepage, the row above it is ok
.. and that's it
i know that this rom needs work to fix those bugs but still, this the best rom you can find.
screenshots coming later !

Again , almost rom for s dous 2 is best and stable enough for you to use as daily driver
[ROM][UNSTABLE][4.4.4][CM11]GT S7580 and GT S7582
-Stable
-Fast
-Many themes
-Many customizations
After a while I get seasick and I try another.... When something goes wrong I go back to her!
[ROM][7.1.1_r13][N6F26Q]AOSP 7.1.1 for Galaxy S Duos 2/ Trend Plus S7580/S7582
My current ROM. I'm really enjoying it
Stable
Fast
I had problems with calendar and the wifi (turns off seconds after the screen goes out)
The best rom you can find for duos 2 is resurrection remix. It is amazing and has a lot of tweak's and features. It has almost no bugs and is fast. I have been using it for the past 1 year without any problems. Only the screen recorder is not working. But that is not much of a problem. The android version is 6.0.1 marshmallow. It has a lot of customization which is really fun. So u can give it a try. I will post ss later.
every custom rom is best.. but it depends on user..
some want themes.. some want battery.. some want performance.. some daily driver.. some all of these
best rom is less buggy.. uses ur heavily used apps lag free.. idle battery life 5 hrs.. etc.. etc..
my opinion use stock.. root it.. remove bloatware.. tweak it..
The Lollipop Extreme ROM is the most stable ROM you will ever find for Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2
It is the best in terms of performance and space it needs but it is average looks
PerformanceSpace It NeedsLooksExcellentGoodOk / Average

Hello guys samsung has stopped sending updates for the galaxy s6 so i'm searching for the best rom and kernel for this phone
I'm searching for a stock android not toutchwiz.
English is not my native language so i could make mistakes
Thanks for help.
The latest Resurrection Remix, as for the kernel, either try out AldeXus, but I'm not 100% that it would work.
But I suggest you give TouchWiz another chance. I personally despise it deeply, BUT because of stuff like the camera driver being ckosed source, AOSP's camera for this phone will not ever be as good as on stock TouchWiz. Check out MIPA S8+, together with Ultimate Kernel.

Yep TRR roms are one of the best right now for G610X as they are stable and there are TRR roms for each android version (e.g., "Gaming" for Oreo, "Pure" and"OneUI" for Pie, and "Treble" for Android Q)
