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
Let me start by appoligizing, I am a newbie to ROM's etc. I did a search but all results I was getting were 2+ yrs old. I want a Nexus phone, althought tied to verizon, due to company! I am looking for a way to get that total vanilla experience on a verizon galaxy s3. I have looked at the super nexus 2.0 rom but doesn't seem to be compatible with verizon, unless I am missing something. I am looking for a Vanilla ROM, in which everything works, phone, camera etc...
Can anyone direct me to a rom that might fit this bill? Thanks in advance, and I'm sorry if this has already been discussed to death, but a search revealed 2011 era posts.

Check out the ROMs in the original android development section here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1692
You're most likely going to want to look at CM 10.1 or the Pure Google AOSP ROM
I'm a fan of AOKP, which provides a great vanilla experience with some extra options. I like the options better than CyanogenMod.

Thank you both, being that I'm totally new to ROMs can you recommend a ROM?
I highly recommend AOKP. Its my daily driver. Rock solid for me with leankernel

Welcome to the forum. I suggest you read the stickies in the root section and then root your phone.
For AOSP rom I can recommend both SlimBeans and LiquidSmooth as well.
You will find all the AOSP roms are very very similar of course, some are more later or stable but it can depend a lot on the kernel and your phone.

I tried LiquidSmooth and liked it a lot. I wasn't able to get GPS working so I switched to AOKP.
Vote for your Favourite *Unsupported* Rom to be given weeklies!
Please Note i will only support the N9005, hlte.
Why?
Currently the amount of lollipop AOSP/CM based roms for the Note 3 is running a tad short for my liking, i believe in choice and i believe that if you have the hardware to do it, why not? I will be running this poll for a week to see which Roms you guys want to see rolling out for the Note 3 and i will roll them out to you on a weekly basis, i can probably build a few roms in a day so the top few will be what i choose to support.
If you want a Rom added to the Poll just ask me and i'll add it, so what are you waiting for? Vote and i'll start rolling them out!

This one probably is just wishful thinking, due to the fact that back on JB/KK it was very difficult for the dev, now with LP it will be even more difficult.
There used to be a ROM for the S4 named BlackBox.
It was a hybrid between TouchWiz and AOSP, the dev ported AOSP frameworks and libraries to work with TouchWiz. The ROM was SICK. And not easy to do. Not sure if the ROM had an altogether different kernel or any TW kernel could work.
Wishful thinking... :/

That is probably beyond my skills as ive never ported, only built from source, however i'll get in touch with the developer of that Rom and see if he is willing to lend a hand to try get that going for the Note 3, i honestly thought there would be more interest on this thread thou..
Any AOSP/CM roms you want for weeklies haha?

As odd as it is, I got used to the close-to-stock TW ROMs. Don't mistake me, AOSP ROMs are fast as Hell, way more moddable, more beautiful, and I like that. However, for the way I use my Nope 3, close to stock suits my needs better.

It's rare you find a samsung device where people are actually happy with Touchwizz
So is no one interested in suggesting weeklies for an AOSP Rom? Or perhaps i should make a custom stock (Not that there are enough already)?
I honestly thought there would be more interest in this thread! What's going on guys??

I believe it might be something like this...
The user base needs something entirely different from the two (three if you count MIUI) options, we've got used to it. And some people might have the ideas for something different but lack the skills to do it. On one side you have AOSP (most of the AOSP ROMs function and behave almost the same; simple fact, not bashing the work of anyone, I don't have the knowledge to bash it ), on the other - TouchWiz. Both have their uses.
I lack the knowledge on how to do it, apparently the whole team of Samsung that makes TouchWiz doesn't (xDDDDDDDDDDDDD)... to combine all the functionality of the device at it's top performance with a really sleek UI implementation that's different enough to make the user treat and use the device differently.
Otherwise, I'd theme TW with black, grey, blue, holo colors n stuff and make the UI look like the control panel of some spaceship seen in sci-fi. The device itself carries the "Galaxy" moniker, ffs, and Samsung made it sound and look like a f***ing toy!
Making an AOSP ROM then stabilizing it, from what I've read, is no easy task for the whole Google team, it seems...
I am afraid that the Note 3 simply lacks the attraction to crackheaded devs who would tear Ubuntu Touch's a** in half, merge it with AOSP then slap that combination on top of whatever's left of TouchWiz. xD We have most of the major AOSP ROMs, can't tweak too much TW because of it's damn closed source, and... that's that. :/
Sorry if this was incoherent.
P.S. I am also sorry if any of this seems disrespectful, I don't mean it to be, given the fact that you're willing to actually build the ROM that's most demanded. Wish you luck.
Those are 2 recognize ROMs since my Nexus 5. :laugh:

Well when i hit 10 posts, and perhaps a little more interest is gathered in the thread then i can get these builds of vanir and nameloss rolling out to the community.
I am suprised thou i really am that no one seems to use AOSP/CM roms on the galaxy note 3!
Hey boys and girls! It's been a bit of awhile since I've posted. I've had my Tmobile Note 5 since the day of release and I've loved this phone ever since day 1! As of right now Im currently running a Sky High kernel and N5 Express. Unfortunately my Note 5's time has come and I've pre ordered the S8 Plus, so I'll just be pretty much using it more or less as a personal media device or maybe for bluetooth lol. I understand that each developer here has their own purpose to each and every ROM but I just sorta want some info from some of you people in the T-Mobile section. What are you running? Why do you prefer it? I know how to flash so I don't really need any assistance in that. Shoot. I've been customizing phones ever since the PPC6700 . Your opinions are much appreciated!
Hi mate, my 2 cents here, I have been using darkstalker rom for a while, it's a stock based rom with all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a custom rom.. Its becoming outdated but I use it mainly for the stability, I hadn't a single crash since I installed it, impressive.. I wouldn't mind an update though, but the developer is no longer updating it. Just my 2 cents..

I'm currently on Khongloi's S8 Nougat and its running pretty good. the issues that was in v4 have been worked out in v5. There's also an issue with Titanium Backup not seeing that your phone is rooted but there's a fix for that as well. I have been using it for a few days and I must say, I'm very impressed with the ROM. Once Nougat comes out to our phones (any day now......) then development will open up again.
Sounds good
Hey your input is much appreciated and I will definitely play with the Darth Stalker! I like the amount of customization as well!

Very nice I will have to mess around with that S8 rom too! Makes me stoked for my new one to come . I appreciate the information and I look forward to taking a part into that development aswell!
I was formerly using Darthstalker, but I've since moved to Nemesis Rom for some hands on with Nougat. While I like the rom itself I miss the full range of customization that Darthstalker has. The closest thing that I've seen in terms of customization is NN8 Rom but I've yet to get call audio working on it.
I've been using my Galaxy S7 for the last year and half or so and I have been considering flashing a custom ROM on it. Years ago I did have a OmniROM Galaxy Note 1 then flashed CyanogenMod on that same phone. It died due to battery problems.
I'm curious as to how far custom ROMs have come since then and whether its worth going the Custom ROM + Root route on my Galaxy S7 to get some additional features and that stock Android feel.
The phone is still receiving updates though so I'm not sure if it's worth flashing yet.
Would love you hear what your guys think.
Cheers
Both the TouchWiz ROMS and AOSP ROM's are pretty well developed and supported. So really it's personal preference more than anything.
If you don't like custom ROM's, you can always flash back to stock using Odin and go back to getting OTA's.
Just note it'll trip knox, so you'll lose some Samsung app functionality.

I've heard of issues such as camera quality, metallic sounds when taking calls and HWC issue, do you know if TouchWiz and AOSP have these issues?

Also does anyone have any experience with the Lineage OS 16.1 on this device? It'd be nice to get Android 9.0 but I want to make sure it's stable enough for daily use.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Camera quality is worse on AOSP because the camera uses proprietary drivers built into TouchWiz. If you go with a TW based ROM you shouldn't notice any difference.
Otherwise the vast majority of other issues tend to be user error / caused by dirty flashing. Nougat ROM's are all pretty much final and have been bug free for a long time. Oreo is still somewhat new, but still pretty bug free.
I've been using SuperMan ROM for about 18 months, haven't had any issues and use it as a daily driver.
Not sure about 9.0.

I did try Lineage 16.1 on my G930F. It seems pretty stable although the functionality is pretty limited at the moment. I would wait for a stable release with more features etc.

I hated the bloat and nagging of the latest Samsung update to Android 8, so I installed TWRP, made a backup of my stock system, and then installed LineageOS. I ran that for a month and loved the UI and minimalism, but I hated that some hardware drivers were buggy and that the camera would NEVER perform as well as Samsung designed. So I tried SupermanRom, which is the Samsung Touchwiz Android 8.0.0 but debloated and lots of nice extras. I gave it a black Substratum theme designed for the S7 and run it with Nova launcher, and it is the BEST OS I've ever run on a phone. Very polished, fully functional, and great battery life. The csc installer tool by the same developer also made my S7 Exynos/international variant work as intended for USA TMobile, with wifi-calling, VoLTE, and video calls. I'm running it with TGPKernel.
