Just need some advice. - General Topics

Hello all,
I'm new at the development scene and would like to ask for some help and tips on porting/creating roms. I'm attempting to port Android 5.0 to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and just learn about porting/development.
I have SDK Database, Cygwin Kitchen, Skipsoft's Android rom dev kit, and a few other dev applications. What I would like to know is there a GUI application for windows that I can breathe life into my roms and test them before I flash them? Or is it just trial and error? I have downloaded Xamarin, Genymotion, NDK, and a few others trying to find a way to emulate my phone in a virtual environment. Sorry to bother everyone with this, but I thought I'd ask the pros for help.
I'm a huge fan of the Cyanogenmod devs, Team Viper, Team kang, Team Carbon, and a few of the others dev teams out there. I've rooted and installed custom roms in all my devices as soon as I unboxed them. Sorry, but the customization of roms is what I love and to be able to shape/form them by any means possible is awesome to me.
Thanks again in advance for the help and ha ve a great day/weekend.

[Q] Mom recently got a Galaxy Tab 2, want to try custom ROM, Samsung Apps?

So, my mom got a Galaxy Tab 2 a few days ago, but it seems... heavily Samsung influenced (Touchwiz and all that). I feel trying a custom ROM would help the performance of the tablet
There's a few apps on the tablet that are kind of cool, specifically Smart Remote. Could this app be installed on a custom ROM by some chance?
If you want to maintain IR functionality to run peel remote, etc you will need to stick with ROMs based on "stock" releases
IR is Samsung proprietary and they have not released the code for it. Custom ROM developers will not have access to it until Samsung decides to "allow" it
Custom ROMs that are based off of official releases that are P3113 or P3110 based should have working IR blaster
Check out some of the ROMs available in the development threads - the available options should be included in the first post of each released ROM

Root the device, install busybox, SuperSU and ESFileExplorer. Remove the Bloatware and you will have a snappy device.

Dual boot Touchwiz and Cyanogenmod.

Hi. I'm running Skynoye 4.3 Edition ROM on my Note 2 i317. I love this ROM and its based of of an official leak for 4.3 update. I also love stock android but this being a note 2, it has an spen which requires a lot of proprietary software inside touchwiz to run at its full compasity. I also love touchwiz features. Is there a way for me to dual boot touchwiz and an aosp ROM like cyanogen or paranoid android? And also can the two Roms share all data like apps and documents? Thanks in advance.
Happy Tinkering.
Best wishes,
Abdullah S. Ahmad

[Completed] My new devices

Dear XDA community
I recently bought 2 Samsung devices: the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) and the Galaxy S5. P605 and G900F.
I used to install cyanogen mod on my devices, because I like a slim android system with only the most necessary apps and features. For both my devices the cyanogen mod is not available yet, which means they are both still unused in my desk.
I have read several threads where people were informed that they lose key features of those devices if installed with a custom ram and also that it is senseless to buy those devices and then flashing them with a custom rom. So I am aware of all that, non the less I am curious if there is a good slim mod that can support as many key features as possible but come without any pre installed google play and android stuff on them.
Any advice on making my devices usable with any mod would be much appreciated. Pointing me in the right direction of a mod that supports my devices would already be enough usually I can figure out everything else on my own.
Obviously I already googled but there seem to be many fake pages around and Im unsure what to trust.
Thank you for your time and consideration
I'm not specialist about Sammy devices, but I know that latest Cyanogen version CM 11 hasn't ported to your both devices yet.
I can give some links, but I cannot tell you which roms are best than other.
For your Galaxy Note 10.1 -2014 - P605
If you want a really light rom, you need to wait a release like Slim - Omni or CM
Go here => Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) > Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Original Android Development
For your Galaxy S5 - G900F
You have this rom :

CM11 unofficial ROM for S5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777265
Have a look around this thread and maybe try out different ROMs that may be better suited to your needs http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development
wow that was fast for answers, thank you guys!
Is there like an overview of the most common mods? as in their name, what their goal/idea is?
Or how can I easily find a mod that supports my galaxy Note 10.1? Or did you mean you can give me a link of a mod that does support it philos64?
For my S5 I will use the unofficial Cyanogen mod for now as suggested by fxdil. Thank you for that.
fxdil, does the link you gave me work for my S5? also it says unified, does that mean it works for all devices, could I also install that on my tab?
Actually I cannot give a link for a rom, because you don't have pure AOSP for your Galaxy 10.1 - 2014
But you can go to see Cyanogen Mod website for seeing when a version could be released => Cyanogen Mod Website
I'm going to closed this thread because all links has been provided
If you need more technical infos about specific rom, go to the different threads -
Thanks in advance and good luck

No idea. MIUI is not developed here. The only thing here are some ports as XDA doesnt support MIUI

Which ROM to use for best performance & stability?

Hello forum,
i'm currently modding the Ace 3 from my brother which is getting slow and outdated now (running Jelly Bean 4.3; unable to run some apps anymore like SnapChat).
I'd like to know what's the best ROM for good performance & stability (Lollipop or higher) as he doesn't really need any customization like Resurrection Remix or even CyanogenMod offers. Any opinions and tipps welcome =)
those offers are the only thing out there, it"s not a famous phone so only few developers took time to make a rom
This is the best ROM for ACE 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/ace-3/development/gt-s7275r-b-t-cyanogenmod-13-ace-3-lte-t3242054
