Samsung Official Wins

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.

Why are you even on XDA?

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.

Custom rom based on stock rom

I have a question.
Why we don't have any custom roms based on stock rom in our xiaomi phones, while i was on samsung there were lot of custom rom based on stock rom.
I prefer be on those roms because they provide best stability , battery, and ultimate new rom experience and also stock camera can be used.
I don't know why there are no custom roms based on stock rom, this is not only about mi 4i, its about all xiaomi phones.
Hope someday any dev come with this thankyou.

I'm thoroughly not sure why, but here's my opinion.
What makes many phone (including Samsung) different from Xiaomi's is.. Our stock ROM (MIUI) is (or was) also a custom ROM, with the difference of native support by Xiaomi (for Mi phones).
they provide best stability , battery, and ultimate new rom experience and also stock camera can be used.

While I do agree that stock camera can be used, but "stability", "battery", is subjective. So one's take will be different with others.
And I don't know what do you mean by "Ultimate New ROM experience."
But there are some "Custom" (although I prefer to call it unofficial version) MIUI's from MIUI Polska which you can get here.
Remember, if you don't understand Polish, you can always go to my friend for help!

thankz for your opinion,
but you are not getting my point exactly, when we get any custom rom based on stock rom we get stability like stock.
like custom rom based on CM will have bugs of CM.
and custom rom based on stock rom will not have those bugs.
as our stock rom is already lolipop, when i was on galaxy S2 and S3 i was using miui 5 based on stock rom, and many other rom based on stock rom because on those roms i can use my stock applications also.

I'm sorry if I didn't catch some of your point.
From my experience with Samsung device (my mother's GT-P3100 to be exact -my GT-I8150 didn't get any official ROMs beside stock 2.3.6-), the "Custom ROM" that are based on stock are actually just the same stock (TouchWiz, blah blah), but "de-bloated", "enhanced", "modded" and other different claims.
And, about MIUI5 based on Stock (TouchWiz?)... uuuh... Not sure about this one.

i m talking about threads like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../asnet-miui-v5-4-6-13-multi-language-t1605655
just look at above thread u will got know wt i am talking about.
and thanks for ur response.

What he means is look at some of the custom oem roms like Viper for HTC Sense and alliance for samsung. These are stock based roms with tons of new features and options.
As to why you don't see the same for miui well that is due to most dev teams that have the knowledge to do it won't touch a Xiaomi device at its present stage. Maybe one day but that day is not this day.

Yup you got my point,
And i m waiting for that day.. 😀😁😊

[HELP] To root or not to root

Hello,
I am using Nexus 5 on stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow (MRA58N).
I read that Xposed framework is finally working on 6.0 (as well as GravityBox).
So I decided to give a try, but I realized that I need to root my device first. Then I started reading about custom kernels. Then I started looking through all the great custom ROMs that are availble at XDA....
Which option is the best for now for Nexus 5? Are those custom ROMs really that good compared to stock 6.0?
So I can't make my mind, what should I do?
1. Stay on stock (bo-o-o-o-o-oring)
2. Root and install Xposed
3. Get a custom ROM
What I want - more customization, 100% stability, good performance, good battery.
Can you guys give me some advice?
P.S.: I have a lot of experience with custom ROMs, I installed a lot of that on my HTC Desire and even installed Android on my HTC Touch Cruise (that came with Windows Mobile). On my Nexus 5 I tried MIUI and I loved it, but every time I still comeback to the stock Android.

1 or 2 or a few layers roms like Chroma I guess (I didn't tried). CM based roms aren't stable enough for now.
Xposed and Gravitybox are at early stage so if you need 100% stability, stay on full stock.

Nope but you can feel it by using custom apps like Amplify.

ordered Samsung s7 Exynos version[SHALL I INSTALL CUSTOM ROM]

Hello,
I got a real good deal on the samsung s7 so i took it.
My question to you is, shall is stick to stock os or install a custom rom?
the reason i ask this is cause i was using a redmi note 4 and the custom firmware is kinda buggy, i need to reboot once a while. its running on 8.1.
it has LTE issues, Keyboard issues, apps crash randomly, slows down once a while.
Also, if i root it and install 8.1 on my samsung will the camera quality go down? i have heard this is true? can someone please correct me.
Honestly i want a stable experiance with a good camera, thats all.
Please advice.

Stable & Full camera quality, stick to stock
You need a TouchWiz ROM with stock camera app to get 100% camera quality
Custom ROMs are much more likely to be unstable than stock, but I haven't tried any

I've run a variety of Custom AOSP / AOKP Roms on my S7 - Nougat and Oreo 8.1 - After the latest Samsung Firmware update - I figured that I'd run Stock Rooted for a while - Stock is Definitely more stable than any of the AOSP /AOKP Custom Roms and the Camera is one thing that is constantly being complained about on AOSP / AOKP Roms.... That being said - If you like the idea of Running a Custom Rom & are prepared for some bugs - They can certainly be used as a Daily Driver ??
Sent from my SM-G955W ??

Hey thanks for the reply guys!
i thought maybe since the device is old someone might have ported a stock quality like camera.
its easy for me to say i guess! im sure its tough. well, i guess i'll install the pixel rootless launcher and keep using this beast! im not much of a heavy user its just whatsapp and instagram chats mostly.
though i'll miss android 8.1. but stability is worth it!

i was thinking how about i install a 8.1 rom+ google camera[ is it stable and better than stock now?]

Nope. If you want camera performance and overall stability, go with touchwiz. 8.1 aosp is in beta rn

Question Custom ROMs

Hey all the custom ROMers here. I hope you all are doing great. What ROM you are currently running on your P7/P7P and why? I'm pretty new to android root scene and looking forward to install custom ROM on my P7. Any answers would be appreciated!!

Custom ROM and ROOT is difference
With custom rom, u will get more features which lack from stock, more battery life
With root u will have more control of system ...

I'm on stock. In my opinion don't make sense to flash custom ROM on Pixel. That device is really optimized on stock. You never know when Dev stop development ROM. Yes... They always are sure never will be stopped. Many times I heard that and they stopped. I need really stable software to use daily. I used lot of ROMs. Even now official crDroid was stopped for 7pro. So I don't think so is good choice to flash custom if stock is enough optimized. Off course this is just my opinion.

How can u get it with stock ?

you will not get any extras from custom roms if you switched from official system , users who have xiaomi devices with cutting edge specs but poor software like miui might do so , but you have all the things you want in stock android , you might flash custom karnel for more perfomance and longer battery life ,but stock equals stability and reliability especially for pixels

Don't get me wrong, stock lack a lot of things that make your phone better function

you have magisk and its modules , you have custom kernels that improve battery life and perfomance , what do you want more than that , this can cover the extras you talk about , custom roms that are heavily modified than the rubbish miui skin is a headache , custom roms devs dont care much about tracking and fixing bugs , when you install custom roms you know that there is a deal , you get those useless extras , in exchange for stability and reliability
note , my words applied just for the pixel stock roms , not for third party rubbish like miui and oneui and their brothers

I'll get from a custom ROM whatever I add to said custom ROM, which, agreeably isn't much over stock, lol
I like the minimalist approach, pitch black, system fonts/icons, and battery styles are the only thing missing from stock, as far as I'm concerned.

I wondered the same thing.
Pixel devices are known for its Stock Pure Android experience.
I see know reason to install a custom rom on a pixel phone as the trade off isn't worth it.
A custom kernel ill probably flash one day but i really want to keep my Pixel Un-Rooted..
