I don't think you could take a current SGS ROM and flash it on the SNS without tweaks and mods to it. Hardware drivers are probably different, so that's the first issue you'd have. Also, depending on the version of the SGS you have, even the physical buttons are off.
Some people were able to run i9000 ROMs on the Vibrant with only minimal issues, but folks on the Captivate had screen orientation issues and other stuff. We know for a fact that the radios in the SNS are different than the other models (low power chips).

Give it a little time, the phone's only been out 5 weeks. The Galaxy S variants, even the i9000, which came out globally and first (last May), didn't have many custom roms until at least a month (I think MCR was first in June), and the action really didn't get heavy until August/September (so 3-4 months).
We'll hit critical mass soon enough with the devs.
Cyanogen's almost ready for "beta" or "release candidate status", and MCR is looking pretty stable, and you've got Team Whisky/Bionix that many are praising. I think we're off to a good start, even if it's not a fast-running one!

Actually I believe we're on CM7rc9. Don't think they count as beta anymore given how stable it is. I use rc7 as my daily driver and I haven't had a single random reboot (even running an OC kernel). Honestly, yes our rom development isn't huge yet but morfic (think thats his name, the guy who makes the trinity kernel) is f***ing awesome. The guy really listens to the input of his users and just makes quality s***. He really is impressive.

Agreed 100% about morfic. I remember him in the early days of the Galaxy S i9000.
I didn't know Cyanogen was at rc7 already. Good to know, and time for me to consider actually using it as my daily driver. I'm actually pretty happy with stock Gingerbread, but CM has always rocked my phones that it's out for.

umm... no it isn't
a lot of 'developers' don't compile from AOSP source; instead they base their ROMs off CM7 or GRH78.. so they're probably waiting for that as a start (not meant to disrespect anyone)
I consider CM7 to be a significant point in NS (i hate saying SNS) development. The Galaxy S series have been wanting CM support for a long time and the NS is the first to get it. At this point, I wouldn't even know if the Galaxy S would get CM support or not, it might but given the difficulties with Samsung releasing the source for drivers; it'll certainly be difficult as well as the Galaxy S diversity (I9000, Captivate, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Vibrant) whereas the Nexus S is just the Nexus S worldwide.
Seriously,
I don't know how you think development is dead. If anything, it's just getting started. And there's 3 great roms to choose from so far. Many phone users are grateful for having even 1 modded rom to use. And, as mentioned above, CM7 was first working on NS's instead of the Galaxy S.
I see a long future for the Nexus S in terms of rom development. I'm sorry you feel that way. May I ask, what phone are you referring to that has "alive" development, as compared to our "dead" development?

What he said. That's one thing I highly miss about the G1. It was the first Android phone and thats where it all started. ROMs were all booming and now the community is all split apart.
It's not dead at all, it's just getting warmed up Once CM7's official RC or Stable is released (I personally consider the nightly to be a daily driver/stable), it'll be a gateway to many other great ROMs that is based off CM7.
I know this question is really subjective. I'm coming from the Note II and have not been in this forum more than a couple of days so I'm not famililar with the developers and their work.
I'm just not sure what Rom to start with.
Speed/stability. Feature Customizations, You know, General grovieness

You literally described viper rom
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
If you want customization, ViperROM is the way to go. It is fast and has so many options and settings it can almost be overwhelming if there were anymore things to explore in their tweaks app. Has some nice themes (although many are not fully compatible yet) as well. For a stock ROM with speed and removed bloatware, I recommend Skyfall. It has been the fastest for me as far as stock roms go. Bonestock is great as well, I just had awful battery life on it (which was my fault but was too lazy to diagnose so i crack flashed something else. Just try them all and see what you like best.
Stock. Everything works and you never have to wipe for an update.

Stock with xposed seems to do the trick for me
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I've flashed BoneStock and have been really happy with it honestly. I really only wanted the bloatware removed and it did a good job of that.
I haven't tried any others yet though. Stock is actually really, really nice. HTC did a fantastic job with Sense 6.0.
A second vote for Viper! This ROM has been fantastic. Performance is much improved over stock, battery consumption has been lower, and there are so much customization that can be done through Viper One's tweak configuration (including enabling Power Saver mode which Verizon took away, performing an "auto hide" of the navigation bar, adding custom themes and colors, etc.). The devs of this ROM are also VERY responsive. Be sure to make a nandroid back up using CWM or TWRP before flashing any custom ROM, so you have something to go back to if you are not happy.
Was thinking about grabbing this phone, but what about those of us coming from stock Nexus Android? I see people recommending stock, but then dont you have to deal with Sense and stuff? Or am I just missing something?

I've run the Stock Nexus, and LOVED IT. I also got used to Samsung's TouchWhiz, I personally like HTC's Sense. Much like ROMS, this is a personal choice. I'm sure, once I see a CM or something like that I will give it a try to check it out. Sense is not like it was a couple of years ago. It Flies. Check it out, see for your self.

Second Post:
Hello all!
Im currently running Liquid Smooth on my g3, its okay, but im looking for to explore more ROMS, my goal is good performace and good benchmarks!
What would you say is the best (most developed) G3 rom so far? Thanks!
Honestly, at this point they are all very much alpha/beta builds. I don't think one is really going to be that far ahead of the others. In fact, I bet most of them are using the same kernel at this point. This will change over time, but it is so early in the development stage that most of the ROMs are basically at the same point in the development cycle. It really comes down to which ROM offers the modifications and options that you are looking for.
At this point i am getting the best battery life from timmytim's CM11. However, liquidsmooth seems to have the most customizations and option so far(including the weird mandatory floating mode for chrome). But, as previously mentioned, these are all very primitive builds, all using the same kernel and all have preety much the same options. Anyway, once some devs get around to making official versions of ROMs for us, we're pretty much stuck with these featureless and underdeveloped builds. Just my two cents.
Im using CloudyG3 1.2 with no issues or mayors bugs so far... And coming from a LG G2 user always using Cloudy's ROMs i must say that are one of the best and solid ROM i had tried.
If you haven't tried it yet its worth giving it a shot.
I was shocked to see how few ROMs there are for such a popular phone. Why is this? On my Note 2, I feel like there were a dozen ROMs within the first 6 months of release, and I never had any lack of them to choose from after that point.
Are people not interested in developing for the G3, is ATT too locked down, or is it just too early?

It's still to early. Although the bump exploit has been know for about 2 months, it has only been about 2 weeks since it was available to developers. So considering we are only about 2 weeks into actually being able to customize and build ROMs/Kernels, we are doing pretty well IMHO.
Oh cool. So I have options on build D85010f right now? Or do you think I should wait?
Loots like root methods are up to 10D

Second post and you choose to use it on a fairly rude question. One of the niceties we afford our developers who work for little or no compensation is not to ask "who is the best". They all have pros and cons depending on your tastes, try a few and see what you like. But don't ask "who is the best" or "what is the ETA". Yeah, the latter one is a CM thing, but it is sound practice.

I'm also using this quite successfully as a daily driver. Maybe a screen redraw every now and again when switching apps but otherwise it's actually working better in many regards than stock.
Battery life is excellent!

I have a question but yet a request to ROM and kernel developers.
I came here from the HTC First community, which has a descent size user base but base no Dev support, literally none. And I was wondering if anyone could take a look and see what they can do. If you can't, that's fine, but its a great device with lots of prospects if someone could get a custom ROM up and running. At least give it a look guys.
Much thanks from the whole HTC First community.
It's that bad over there huh? It runs near stock Android, right? Just use Xposed framework and set it up how you like it. That's what I would do, even if there were 100 custom ROMs available.
Nobody is going to build for a device they don't own, unless they have an extremely good reason to do so. When one builds a ROM and/or kernel, they build it to their liking - impossible if you don't even own the device.

Our point still stands. Asking in the Nexus 5 section won't change anything since nobody will develop for a device they don't have/care about.
If the people there want 5.0 that badly, maybe one of them should step up and do it.

You made no mention of wanting 5.0 in the OP, you just said custom ROMs. I simply offered an alternative. Xposed is awesome, and you can use it to add a crap ton of features to the stock ROM.

Yep, I think it's the single greatest Android mod ever conceived. Both of my Android phones have Lollipop available to them, yet both are staying on KitKat and Xposed is the primary reason why.

You'll most likely have to switch to a different brand. Remember, they make phones for the world, not just us modders. Their in house processor is literally the best processor that has ever been, ever. No other processor can offer the power and longevity. If CM can harness that as well, that would be great but I highly doubt it.

Just because Arter isnt making a build for the Note 5 doesn't mean there won't be a build for the Note 5.
Folks are getting all stressed out about this but frankly this is better news than most people should have been expecting, the writing has been on the wall for awhile now in regards to the ease of porting aosp based roms on to Exynos devices.
The rumblings started back in 2013. I just think it's bad business to buy a device that costs as much as this one with an expectation that your every need be tended to by the mod community.
It's also getting to the point that you end up losing functions of the phone's now by unlocking bootloaders. They are being crafty with how new features don't work rooted or unlocked etc, it's all to discourage the modding community, hell, last I checked android pay doesn't work on AOSP. I think they are tightening things little by little.

Look at the root situation where it was handled at the kernel level. I can't really blame them to tell the truth, its sort of expected that cellular companies and manufacturers would not make it easy for the dev community. It's like a cat and mouse game, the cat will always be the cat and the same goes for the mouse.
Heck tactics like these have even bled over into computers. My Samsung laptop has secure boot firmware in the motherboard so I can no longer dual boot linux. Only way to run linux is to wipe windows off or run a live cd...
I'd definitely give it a whirl. Not sure if I'd stick with it though, I like the camera and the Spen features on this phone too much.
It's nice to see that we'll get the choice though.

Yes and no. It's working on the S6 but we can't use it on the Note 5. Not yet anyways. Still need a kernel for the Note 5 unfortunately.

IMO, if you're going to use CM, why did you buy a note? CM typically doesn't support the pen features at all. (please correct me if I am wrong)
