[Q] Best custom firware for original Galaxy S? - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I just sent my M8 away to be repaired (dropped it in the toilet ) and I won't get it back for 2-3 weeks. I gave my Galaxy S3 away about 6 months ago, so now I'm stuck with my original Galaxy S! This thing is so laggy it's pretty much unusable, it may as well be a stone tablet. I'm not expecting miracles here, but can someone recommend a custom rom that could make the next few weeks more bearable?

I'm using omnirom 5.1 lollipop.
Its fine with no gapps, as good as any kit kat ROM if slightly better IMHO.
With gapps minimal its pretty laggy.
But lollipop on this old work horse, its a miracle!!!
If you don't want the lag but want gapps try the latest McKay kit kat 4.4.4 ROMs, they are very good and don't lag with gapps installed.
I do not suggest cm11 because the the battery life was pretty c*** when I tested it
Get the latest omni rom 5.1 for i9000 from www.humberos.com.br

[Q] Help upgrading from wingray omni 4.2.2 to omni KK 4.4.2

So I rooted and upgraded my Xoom to omni wingray 4.2.2 which seems like a million years ago and has worked great! I am now looking to go to 4.4.2 primarily for restricted profiles but figured since this build looks to be pretty stable I might as well go for the latest and greatest. With that being said I am not sure if I need to repartition with BigPart and if what steps I need to do from the version I am at now. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!
TD
Bump for help. Thanks.
Hi,
I didn't test, but there's a Omni 4.4.2 that works without BigPart .

Note 8010 4.4 Touchwiz

Hello,
long time no see. I bought the note 10.1 a year ago and still waiting for an update. Is there a 4.4 Touchwiz port for the 8010. I am about to install a custom rom. Any recommendations which TOUCHWIZ based custom rom is good. because i am a heavy S-Note user. Or is there a S-Note(2014 verison) port for the 8010.

Nope. None as of yet but we have kitkat omnirom that works very well. No s-note tho.
Next time use the Q&A forum.?
Ask in Q&A forum, this is Dev forum.
BTW, ARHD is a great TouchWiz ROM
It's true that there is not an official kitkat rom or any sort of port of a touchwiz ROM, but we do have official confirmation that the original Note 10.1 will be getting the kitkat update. There has been a partially functional leak already. We can probably expect an official update (and custom roms based on it) in the next month or two.
So while installing a custom ROM might be a great idea, if you like touchwiz you ought to hold out for a bit longer.
i guarantee we all will receive the update at the end of 2015

But we already have 4.4.2 tho it's a test build it is functioning very well and it's very smooth
So as you say in the end of 2015 we might get android 5.0 hahahaha

Lollipop for Note 10.1

Is Lollipop coming to the tablet?
It is already there as custom ROMs. You can try Omni or Bliss. Both are 5.1.1 based. Not everything works as expected and stability is not ideal. There is a chance we may get updated CM.

S note working ?
I've been using Schischu's 5.1.1 ROM for the '14 10.1 Note for about 3 months now and it works perfectly- no lagging, no issues, I'm very happy with it. I don't really use the S-Pen ever, but it does work for the few tests I've done.
If you like his ROM, I'd donate a few $ his way- it really is that good. Be sure to Titanium Backup everything and wipe /data (Factory Reset) before coming in from any TW or non-5.1.X ROM.
I use it for Uni, which probably won't appreciate modding of their tablets
Sorry ,but i dont think so. Note 10.1 nor note 2...

Will the Samsung Galaxy S6 be able to run Nougat?

I just received a S6 from my office and was hoping that a few months down the line a Nougat ROM would be available for my phone? SM-G920F?
That dual-app screen functionality sounds fantastic.
if cyanogenmod is able to release cm14 or whatever then you should have one for your s6

I had CM on my current S4 for 18 months, was real smooth, then last year I tried erasing and updating to the newest CM, and I got bug after bug and spontaneous reboots, just webt haywire. Returned to the latest Stock ROM, which was much better than the stock ROM that came with the phone.
Do you also think Nougat may become available to the S6 as a stock ROM here on XDA?
