Farewell, i9003 forum

Hi there! Most of you probably don't know me, as I'm not a developer/contributor, nor someone who writes a lot.
I just wanted to thank you for these two years full of new roms, themes and kernels, wich made me busy for hours, but then made my life easier. Why am I saying this? Because tomorrow will come my new device, and I won't be using my Galaxy SCL as my main device anymore (gonna leave it on the bench, just in case hehe).
I wish you all the best, and maybe in the near future some of us will be sharing devices again (that would be great)!
So this shouldn't be a GoodBye, but a See You Next Time!
Cheers!
(I'm specially grateful to dhiru, kkrraazzyy, lolation, losconosciuto, vishal, adipat, hillbeast, ganeshbiyer, skin1980, skander, codeworkx, amit, trip007, topdroid, xda_bam, shriom_manerker, doomlord, napstar, misledz, vurrut, alfrix, thefrankenstain, luiseteyo, rodero95, arindammanidas,,, and many more I can't remember right now! T H A N K Y O U ! ! ! ).:good:

what will be your new device then?

A nexus 4!
Well, it's not like it's the best phone in the world, but I'm happy with it.. I got it really cheap from a friend, a bargain! Thanks for asking cheers

Yeah, you know, I love it! It goes as smooth as silk. I saddens me, but I have to admit there's a big gap in performance between both devices... far greater than I ever imagined...

IKR! I never noticed how much lag there was on the SL until I got my N4. I knew there WAS lag on SL but never knew it was that much... Android is like a whole different OS on it hahah.

You tried the PSX ROM on your N4? I saw the feedbacks.. It's damn fast.

I'm on it right now - it is bloody blazing fast for sure. I missed the PIE controls but just ended up using LMT on it so PSX is my new rom now
Only thing thats REALLY irritating me is that I cant download any large apps using play store. It goes till 100% on many downloads then just never finishes and crashes. Tried multiple times reinstalling even 3 different roms but all based on JSS. I think JSS is the prob

If the rom is that good, I'll try it out too haha!
Gonna give you feedback! Thanks for the advice

Well, after a few days trying it, I reverted to CM10.2! It's true PSX rom is faster than any other rom I installed, but it lacks things.
As I'm still amazed by the speed nexus 4 opens everything in stock rom, I prefer relaying on a rom which I know would do the thigs I want
Anyway, it's a GREAT rom!
Thanks for the advice, pal, cheers!

Slimbean feels great but it wracks the battery. My new one ends in 2-12 hours.

Yeah that is true, modification is pretty limited, even with Xposed Framework.
Is it just me or is there a real lack of different roms on the N4? Like on SL we have so many like S4 Rom, themed customized roms etc that look different from AOSP 4.3. All I see on Nexus 4 forums are AOSP based this and AOSP based that :/, theres like no themed roms, and this one cool transparent rom that was on 4.2 isnt going to be updated to 4.3 so I dunno. If you come across some cool roms for n4 give me a message

Mate 7 was released October 2014. Five Months to go for it's first birthday. Go get an HTC or a Sony. LOL

LOL

Well this beta will the first EVIDENCE of the existance of Lollipop for Mate 7...
oh my god this frustrating just release it now please.. I am desperate for some performance increase and better GUI speed...
It gets more and more frustrated, the frustrating has been freezed earlier cause I have been amazed by the big screen experience and good screen, but now when I am used to it I am more frustrated with the slow performance and multi tasking.. I know most people will not notice it but if you work fast and switch between apps fast constantly you get frustrated... Lollipop hopefully improve some things.
The people who do not demand better speed they just use their phone slow, and do not notice the lag.. the lag is for me noticeable.

I assume you already tried changing the power saving mode, considering the default one isn't optimized for performance...
Also lowering the animation scale in the developer options.

Hi guys,
I trust Huawei are sure that by May the new firmware release LP.

Stop being a spoiled brat. If you want lollipop now, change the phone.

My 2GB Mate 7 runs very well, why the need for lollipop so bad? I like flashing custom roms like the rest, but if everything works why mess.
Like others say just change phones

+1 and I have a Nexus 7 running the latest Lollilop to compare

Seriously, the stock ROM works very well. I'm a flash-addict and all, but root is really all that this phone needs. It doesnt bog down and and run like a champ.

What do you need root for? I'm a ROM addict as well, but have had this phone for over a month without even rooting it.

Tasker. I can't use a phone without it.

Probably lollipop will be released after they announce the HW P8, most likely.

I think that we should keep an eye out on the chinese forums.... It will show up there first for sure

Screw'd vs Resurrection Custom ROM. (Which one)?

Hi all,
I'm now in a little 'dillema'. I have test both ROM's, only I'm now stuck.
Which one is more stable, batteryfriendly?
They have both as same the max customization. Only I go soon on vacation, so I wanna a good/stable and battery friendly rom.
I need you're openion. Yes, I know I can test which I have, but I wanna know the experience from other users.
Thanks in advance.

No one can answer this but you, and you alone
This is also why no one has replied ... it's not rocket science.

Oke, thanks
What do you have?

I built a build of pure nexus

Screw'd :good:
its has fast charge option also... go to kernel, enable it and forget about backup.
though N5 has not such a great backup thus it has only 2300mah battery.
if you still wanna go with ressurection.... flash latest hellscore over it and enable fast charge. :good:

+1 on hellscore

Can somebody recommend a Stable ROM for my Note Edge?

Hallow,
I've been trying to find a stable custom rom for my Note Edge 915F for quiet a while now. Almost all seemed to have bugs and need further improvement. I also tried various roms now (CM, RR, Slaughter) and found them either causing battery drain or camera problems or overheating or all.
Hope somebody could point me to a tested and stable ROM i could use for daily basis. I hate touchwiz coz it eats a lot of RAM most of the time and the use of DPI in its screen is not appropriate? pixel-wise, though i really love using the edge functionality.
Please please please please help me with my searching. THanks much!!

I had to do some research, but I found out what to get rid of and it makes a big difference.
Start by installing Titanium Backup.

I would start with a Google search for Note Edge bloatware.
Do you have a file manager app'?
If you want to try your hand, there's a few things you just don't mess with.
Gotta' work in the morning.
Catch you tomorrow night.

Lineage OS?

Any idea on the status of development for a Lineage OS ROM? Is there anything we could do to help? This phone already have a great battery life but I'm sure it would be even better with a clean ROM without Samsung bloatware.

At this time none

@Le Penguino and @McFy are interested on it so there's an high chance A8 will actually get a working tree, but not in a less amount of time since it's summer now and since to get a really stable tree it needs lots of work and testing, expecially on Exynos lol

That sucks a lot since i had this device not by my own will it was a gift and from day one i loved the design rounded corners glass all black and most of the specs camera,ram,battery not the cpu so much but the software omg it suck so much ,i have a nexus 5x with a recent pie beta rom and even for an outdated phone it runs way better,i just wish someone had made a stock rom for this cause the specs are just a shame to throw way.

I would love to get LineageOS on my Samsung A8. I'm sure I'm not alone. Please keep this thread updated with developments.

I am interested too in a version of Lineage OS for the A8 2018. The Smartphone is very good for the price. But Samsung's Software is awful and I love the possibilities to customize the Smartphone with Lineage OS. I am looking forward hearing from the developers!
