Hello
after install 5.1.1 India for G920i i saw that my phone speed is worst and the battery is worst and Memory mangement is worst than 5.0.2
can you give me some tips to disable things or uninstall things, or how to downgrade without tripping knox ( i know is not possible )
Thank you
1. Minimize running apps. Disable those in background which you do not use.
2. Clear app cache with help of Cache Cleaner (downloadable from Playstore).

Hello I just received a Galaxy S6 from O2 and this is the first time I've decided to keep my smart phone. I would like to install a custom ROM with less bloatware and snappy performance. The one that came highly recommended and I constantly see being mentioned on here is XtreStoLite.
My phone is SM-920F running 5.0.2 Somehow this is suppose to be the better firmware in order to go to custom ROM? In that case I'm glad mine didn't get shipped with 5.1.1.
Can you please suggest to me the best method to use to install a new ROM? Also I heard about KNOX, I don't mind removing it if possible or not tripping it at least. Another question I have is about Kernel. I'm not sure I understand this very much but do I just need XtreStoLite and that's it, or would I have to also get a new Kernel?
Why is there 2 different topics about XtreStoLite? One being called Deodexed?
If I dislike the ROM after few months and find something better, is it again as easy to switch to another custom ROM?
Thank you to all who are feeding me with info on this matter, I don't want to sound like I want stuff handed to me instead of doing my research, but I was hoping to gain some experience and tips while following your guides as this is my first time messing with Android and smart phones in general.
Welcome to the world of custom Android
I'm running that ROM in my phone and its great! You don't need to worry about a custom kernel, that ROM includes unikernel when you flash it.
If you root using CF Auto root or install a custom recovery then yes, you trip Knox. Its not a big deal and to get full customisation you pretty much have to.
Tripping Knox does mean when Samsung Pay is released you WILL NOT be able to use it, so think hard.
Odex means there is an odex file along side the apk for system files, an odex ROM is quicker to boot up and apps load faster.
De Odex means the idea file is part of the apk file so systems like this are much easier to theme (as you only edit the apk).
Basically if you're not too worried about theming then stick with odex ROM.
ROMs are very easy to swap and change yes.
Install a custom recovery (will trip Knox but it is mandatory if you're wanting to flash different ROMs) TWRP is good.
A kernel basically put it the bridge between your software and your hardware, it is the brains if you like.
Custom kernels allow things CPU over clocking and under volting. And lots of tweaks to boost performance or go the other way and help battery life.
A tip for a beginner: ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP IN RECIVERY IF YOUR CURRENT PHONE STATE.
This will get you out of trouble a lot. So many times you'll flash something or twaek something that will cause your phone to not function correctly or boot loop. If you have a back up of your last stable state you simply restore it in recovery. Simple
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks I don't really care about Samsung Pay that's for sure. I've been reading more about the Odex and Deodexed Mod and you have it covered pretty well but I also noticed XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod has some extra features such as:
★ 5-Way Reboot Menu
★ Removed High volume warning message
★ Removed Increasing Ringtone
★ All 3 animation speeds at 0.5 at default
★ Disabled Mobile Data toggle warning at default
★ No auto SMS -> MMS conversion with the Samsung messaging app
★ Optional: Alliance Framework v.3.1 (by @Goldie)
★ Optional: Remove ongoing keyboard switcher notification
★ Optional: 3Minit battery MOD
★ Optional: Center Clock
★ Optional: Modded Samsung Camera app to run even on low battery
★ Optional: Modded Samsung Messages app (to disable screen on when receiving message)
★ Optional: Disable Scrolling cache (smoother scrolling when content is for the 1st time on your screen, but a bit less smoother after the first time)
Am I correct to assume these are not on the Odex version? To be honest I think they are worth it even if I have to deal with a bit of slowness no? Which version did you install?
One more important thing, you said you tripped your KNOX which I don't mind but in the guide it says KNOX fully removed! So which one is true? Do you even still have it?
Oh yeah and final question, I didn't notice a guide for me 5.0.2. Is there one or do I need to force myself to update to 5.1.1. I hear 5.0.2 is easier and less hassle to do this job.
Thanks again
p.s I'm planning on doing my custom ROM over the weekend so I better make my choice and right decision fast

This is really a big problem and if not solved soon you will be in great trouble
I suggest you to first uninstall root and then flash the stock rom again
This is the last option I have
I dont think you can do anything beyond that

I will also suggest few senior members whom I know to solve your problem as soon as possible
This could even be a police case if the malware tries to do something beyond this
If you think something more suspicious than just downloading appps and toggling settings
Then I would highly recommend you to switch off your device and keep it aside until you find a solution at xda

Hi all,
I have a slow Samsung Tablet 4 (SM-T230NU) and after following all the basic troubleshooting to make it go faster (disable animations, clear cahce, factory reset) there was one step i didnt try. Should i try this:
"root your phone , install cpu kernel adiutor (root) app , and safely bring back cpu to original speed" ??
Is it the OS on the tablet that sucks and install a newer andriod OS? Should i install iOS on it?
are u on android 4 or 5?
Hi,
I am currently on 11.2.8.8. LE25DA, Model LE 2111.
I have tried all the workarounds to resolve the notifications issues that i have ( Gmail,Telegram and other work profile related apps) but the issue is not resolved.
1. Uninstall Gmail from ADB, clear Cache, reinstall from APK.
2. Uninstalled updates ,force stop the app and restart.
3. Doze mode disabled through ADB.
4. Wipe cache from recovery.
5. Locking the App in the background
6. Battery Optimization disabled.
7. Ram boost Disabled.
8. Standby App setting is exempt for Gmail.
9. Downgraded to 11.2.4.4 using the MSM tool
On top of it the battery draining issue, i am not much worried about the battery issue as long as the notifications work promptly.
Is this is issue also existing on Global OS, if not would i be able to install the Global OS through the MSM tool? do i need to take back up of any Partitions?
Any other steps that can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Any other app crashing or just viber
You might have to do a data wipe and fresh install, did you install a ROM, dirty flash something?
just viber now i install newest beta version and so far so good
It happens to me also (exynos) . I use app booster from good guardians and it is fixed as for now .
