So I just got my s5 coming from a s3. From the very first week i got my s3 I installed an aosp rom and kept aosp till two days ago... never really heard any "modem" talk on that side of the forum. Now that I got an s5 and aosp roms are not really an option (I have a kid and need a working camera). Im looking at TW roms but all this modem talk is confusing me... also odex and deodex?? What?? Ima root soon so plz help out a newb! Thx
Modem is one part of android that controls the in and out signals from mobile networks, and switching of different types of mobile signals. MOAR is awesome TW ROM. Deodexed is basically a rom where apps are made easier to modify and theme by changing the way the java code is read. Odexed would be a totally stock Rom that's supposed to load faster and run smoother, which in my experience even on deodexed, after 1st few power cycles, runs and loads about the same.

I am sorry if this is stupid noob question, but why we don't have many custom roms since that our device's sharing same exynos 4210 hardware, like Samsung galaxy SII?
I own SII for myself and there is every day something new in development thread, and here nothing
My P 6200 is crying for fix WiFi problem and some great custom rom :crying:

I have been using Android since it was released and have collected various devices. This is just me, there is nothing better than stock rooted and tweaked rom. Just debloat the rom and you will be ok. My P6210 is amazingly fast with NO error or any single issues. I got both apple and Samsung products and my P3113 and my P6210 are my main tab. It is a must for me to go stock rooted and tweaked. Just me.
Cheers
I always asked myself the ssame question too... but it turns out we dont hhave so many devs here and this device wasn't a hit like the S series from samsung. Making custom roms isn't so hard but it needs alot of learning if ur a biggener. I tried making custom roms myself but what else do u need from a custom rom if you already have CM9, cm10, paranoid android and soon to be AOKP? But who knows we might see new stuff I mean I bought this tab before there was even a functional cm9 build and I was thinking of selling it. But it pulled through aand I must say his device is rock solid we just need to nail the wifi issue.

I had wifi problems as well on stock ics (UK version).
It all disappeared when I flashed the US version, give it a try...
This said, cm, aokp and stuff are nice but not stable enough for my taste yet, I don't like bugs (I am not a very patient character) and for me so far there's nothing like a good home tweaked, rooted and deodexed stock ics rom.
When cm10 is completely stable then I will eagerly flash it, I check xda every day waiting for that day to come

I have actually did a lot of things with the ICS stock rooted but never have wifi issues. Anywhere I go with wifi access, I never have problems or any issues. Would it be router related? With my P3113, its fine but with my YP-G70, there was. I have to install another stock rom to solve it. Otherwise, everything works fine with me. These products are actually very nice IMHO. I'm just waiting for the JB update for my P6210 and P3113, if there will be.
Early in ANdroid the stock ROMs were often terrible and there was a lot of room to make easy improvements. Now the stock ROMs are really quite good and there is not much that can be improved on easily. IF you like a different style you have the CM based ROMs with some UI differences but not much in the way of performance improvements and you lose stability and some hardware features like IR Remote. Even with the Nexus, by the time some individual developer takes the time to customize a ROM, Google has new features out in the stock ROM so its just not worth it to build from scratch.
SO called debloating is mostly a placebo because the new devices like this tab have lots of memory and apps you don;t use aren't doing anything or taking resources.
Curious to know if you have found anything unique and useful in SII development. TO me it seems like all retreads of repackaged stock or CM based stuff with a few different apps from samsung or sony thrown in for good measure.

Stock rom is full with unneeded application.
Custom rom bring more speed and space.
I'm currently running custom rom based on JB leak on my Samsung SII, which is full with super functions from S3 and Note 2. Above all that rom is great for daily use For me that is enough
So I rooted my phone I'm running CM10.1 on my Verizon galaxy s3 I've tweaked my build.prop file and now I'm not sure what else to do lol. Excuse my punctuation I'm not to careful when typing off my phone but any ideas would be appreciated I'm new to the forums and I've been hunting for days also I'm totally up to trying to create my own ROM too I'm extremely interested in everything you all do and would love to try and maybe learn some things.thank you very much in advance.
Well a few ideas are to change icons packs, wallpapers, flash kernels, themes (may not be any for AOSP 4.3 until its stable), try PIE for roughly ten minutes, and customize my softkeys. I'm more of a stability guy but I try out AOSP nightlies/betas every so often to get away from TW for a few days at a time. I like the change. Biggest change is to try a different rom and do it all over again haha I can't help you in regards to developing roms cuz I haven't looked too much into it. Others would have to suggest starting points for beginning rom development.
with the market flooded with bad arse phones out there..if your reading this you may love android..or want a chang with your device!!.....well here whats going on with my samsung galaxy s5 900a on at&t....if your with me so far..well you know our devices are limited out of the box..-locked bootloaders custom roms not compatible well now thankyou to geohot we have root..hes rooted the world..2 clicks and your in...i rooted using towelroot...went and got the phone rooted ready to go...then came the safestrap recovery...and now roms!!!i try to get to them all..ill list the ones ive used...i went through them pretty well and see where they slack...or they are just awsome....i currently run dynamickat 4.0...this to me is gangster...yes..battery is 3x more longer lasting...i may be off a little but yes...the speeds...right there..some roms do run fast as hell and you will notice the battery going even faster..well i had to find a rom that met me in the middle..i found my daily driver...i wanted to post this and leave others knowing..att may be not the best..but when the lollipop comes out...it wont be buggy...now on to roms! these are all 900a model roms for att

I don't see many options here. Mostly stock roms in this forum topic. I had a ton of problems with boot loops and such and just couldn't get anything to work. OTAs still force a bootloop sequence unless I zero out: "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc". I just disabled the notification for them and everything is fine now, but I was wondering if there was any point to using anything other than the stock ROM.
I kept root and just removed TMO bloatware. The 4.4.2 stock ROM seems pretty damn fast, but I have nothing to compare it too. I'm basically just trying to decide if it's even worth it to attempt another ROM install. Are there any real advantages to any of the other ROMs out there over stock? I'm looking for stability above all else, then speed. Features I don't really care about.

Stock or at least stock based with dorimanx kernel is about as good as it gets for tmo...most of our developers have moved on to newer devices...and non tmo roms don't have Wi-Fi calling

yeah wifi calling is irrelevant to me, but frankly this stock ROM is amazing compared to the performance of my Relay 4G.... H/W keyboard android phones RIP.
Cheers
I have the Intl version which sports more custom roms but they are all the same more or less.... im on stock KK too even though i was a die hard software updater (had 5.1.1 on previous Nexus 4).
Have to agree with you this phone hates modding and is really feeble, it will get bricked quite easy unlike the Nexus 4 which can take a lot of abuse
Try the new cloudy rom. It's a port from LG G4 with various elements.
why dont you guys check in the G2 Android Development. most roms cover all variants there.
For me CynaogenMod's Privacy Guard feature is a must-have on any Android phone. But right now I'm finding that the official CM12 nightlies seems to screw up the modem settings for my local carrier here in Canda (Wind), so I lose access to the service. Constructive suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hi. First post and I have never rooted a phone before.
My S5 is a G900F on EE network.
It has an issue where after switching to wifi it cannot switch to mobile data without a restart hence I restart it about 3x a day. Every day. This appears to be an issue with EE on the S5.
The phone is unlocked and I'm not with the EE network for my calls.
I would like to get rid of any trace of EE but also would very much like the sound of marshmallow.
It sound like the touch wiz functionality Is useful so I would like to keep that.
So what are my options and is there a step by step guide to do this for newbies?
Thanks in advance.

With the restarting issue try airplane mode on/off instead and see if that fixes it.
I'm also with EE on my S5 and as it is there is no Marshmallow Touchwiz for the S5 (apart from the one that'll be built probably tomorrow by the devs on here). You can use an S6 ported ROM themed like marshmallow however I have found they are fast at first but after long usage they seem to slow down a lot. You can get marshmallow via ROMs like CyanogenMod 13 which are crazy fast however that's based on stock Android and not TouchWiz. Rooting is a great idea as you can do just that (rid of all the EE branded stuff like Lookout, Amazon Appstore etc.) and also it doesn't require installing custom ROMs (however awesome custom ROMs are). Or you could install a debloated ROM (Generally makes your phone faster, declutters it).
Right now i'm running on stock 5.0 rooted until a stable 6.0.1 ROM is built, then I'll flash it to check it out.
Hope this helps
Edit: Also buddy you might want to have posted this in the Q/A section for future reference
Shaolin thanks for the reply.
The aeroplane mode on off works which is a bit less of a pita thanks.
Did you not find the cyanogen mod stable or did it slow down?
Any idea when a stable 6.01 will be released?
Any idea when 6.01 with touch wiz will be available?
Maybe it is better for me to wait for one of these also I'm concerned with 6.01 the sd card is integrated which is brilliant but sounds like it is difficult or impossible to get data off the card if I change the rom?

CyanogenMod is very stable however the cons for me are the lower camera quality (due to the fact it uses the Stock android api) and also the missing cool touchwiz features like air view and gestures
I'm running a 6.0.1 touchwiz build right now but it is harder to install than standard ROM due to the fact you must use ADB to replace your bootloader/system etc.
The 6.0.1 official update will probably start dripping out at the end of the month or its predicted for April think
In my opinion, just wait for the official 6.0.1 touchwiz build because this build I'm running now is the smoothest I've ever had my S5 (so it will probably be even better in official build)
Let me know if you'd like a link the to thread for 6.0.1 touchwiz for S5. If you do wanna install it early then I must urge you BE CAREFUL! Backup everything
