Hi guys,
as you can tell from my question, I am not the most technical kinda guy. I havent used Custom Roms in quite a while, and even then I wasnt very good into all that. I got it working, but thats it. No fancy going into scripts, changing stuff on ADB etc, not that kinda nerdy ^^ guy.
But I would appreciate some tips as for whats currently the most stable running Custom Rom for the S7 (SM-G930F / Baseband: G930FXXU1APEQ / Build: MMB29K.G930FXXS1APG3) out there ? I remember, when I had my Note 4 a long time ago, I had the OMEGA Rom, and that one was great. It was very stable, Battery life was great. Now I am looking for something similiar like that for the S7 (not Edge). Can you give me tips which of the available Roms, would fit these criteria ? I would prefer a Custom Rom based on TouchWiz, because for some reason I like that (although I know its not the fastest).
Thanks in advance.

Well, if you want to have good battery life then nothing beats the stock rom. But I have used Nyssa nexus and currently using King Rom and both have very good battery lives. Just don't install custom kernels, since they will always drain a lot of battery, no matter what you do.
Try phoenix rom for S7 , amazing battery life, super fast and very stable rom.

Hello there,
I am fairly new to rooting and applying ROMs and such. Was wondering exactly what a ROM does. Can I change ROMs but it not change the way my phone looks? I am looking for a ROM that has good battery life. Right now I am running myn-warmTwopointTwo. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin
Fresh 3.5 has excellent battery life and no lag.

There are "Stock" rooted ROMs available, if you just want to keep it looking stock. A lot of the reason there are so many ROMs available, is customization. Some people feel the stock ROM is too plain, Not enough features, too much un-needed "Bloat" software, etc...
Myn's ROM is one of the better ROMs out. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and will not release a version till he feels it is near flawless.
Sometimes, you may find a ROM that has all the added features you may want, performs great, but you just don't like the look. In that case, after you have the ROM in place, you can flash different Theme's or Mods. Just make sure that the software version the Theme/Mod is based on, matches the version of the ROM you are using (Myn's Rls5 is based off software version 3.70, so any themes/mods added would have to be based off 3.70 as well.)
ROMs by themselves don't really change the way your phone looks (unless you have an AOSP ROM and go to a Sense ROM and vice versa). Themes will do that. If you're Myn's and find another Sense based ROM you like, it is entirely possible to get your phone to look exactly the same way it looks now
Myn's is by far the best Rom & battery life is insane

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
Hi all,
I might end up giving my daughter (in college) our old Infuse. Right now I have the current version of Beanstalk on it. I've just recently got this phone from my other daughter who was using stock. The only other ROM I had on it was CM 11 just to see how it worked.
My question is, which ROM, in your opinions, would be good for my daughter? I guess stability would be a good option because she probably wouldn't be able to do flashes, etc. Since she will be at college, I probably won't be able to help her too much if she runs into issues.
So...any thoughts? Thanks!
Dave.

Beanstalk uses more battery life than CM11 from scott.hart.bti
I'm using it for a while now and no crashes or reboots!
CM11 all the way!

Thanks. Put CM11 back on. I had not used the infuse much with either ROM, but it seemed like the battery wasn't lasting very long on beanstalk. Nice to have options though.
How about an ICS or GB rom? Maybe not the most feature-filled or latest android version, but probably more stable and battery friendly
Only you can make this determination, as best is in the eye of the beholder and determinate on a variety of factors based on individual usage.
Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.

Same, not used to going so long without a rom lol, but I guess with the Edge being only limited takes away the appeal of custom rom making
But i've heard that there is a custom rom available for the T-mobile version (Hyperdrive Rom KK) its on the xda forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pment/rom-hyperdrive-edge-rls1-total-t2978462
Hey guys i've had my S7 since last july, never rooted the phone. Now i am getting a bit bored so i might root it and flash a custom rom.
So what is the best custom ROM around, with full support, snappy, stable (don't mind minor bugs), battery friendly (my S7 on stock tw Rom lasts me a full day of heavy usage and almost 2 days with light usage, )... can anyone sort me out?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s7-edge-rom-v1-1-t3356699
Best rom IMO. I flashed it on 3 phones in my company. Stable, solid as a rock. Fast and beauty

This is the best out there.... great battery life, and fully working s8 port. You should look no further
I recommend the paid app for a full experence.

I checked it on youtube, looks pretty good!
Thanks!!
I reckon official slimrom 7.1.2 would be best, it's what I have currently, along with opengapps aroma installer with Google assistant and everything installed
