Hi Everyone
I have limited to no experience and have only rooted and installed 2 devices with a custom ROM
about 4 years ago Galaxy S3 with kitkat lite and a nexus 7 2012 tablet.
My old phone recently died (Sony Z1 C ) and I bought the S5 Neo a few months ago and am not happy this phone is extremely resource hungry while on idle 80% of my RAM is used up and it keeps freezing. I have looked on Cyanogen and XDA and am not able to find a custom ROM. I have found a OEM MarshMellow ROM on Sammobile but the Base band version dosnt match up not sure if it would make a difference.
As seen as I cannot find another ROM to install I thought I would be able to edit my current ROM to make APPS like Facebook and Whatsapp stop running in RAM while not in use freeing up resources. (I dont need notifications from Facebook or Messenger if the app isnt open)
Is this possible ?
I have downloaded Android kitchen and Android studio as well as Cygwin but am having a bit of trouble getting Cygwin to run keep getting an error. I have also downloaded all the necessary java files and extra Cygwin files straight from their web site.
Please let me know if I am looking at this from the wrong angle, or point me in the right direction
Thank you for your help guys
I now have a Samsung S5 Neo
Model Number : SM-G903F (European)
Base band Version : G903FXXU1APA2
Android : 5.1.1
do you have root? you can use greenify
and write you firmware so we can search for rom for you
Thank you for the advice will give it a go if things don't improve.
Have just had a system update to marshmallow seems to be running ok.
Also uninstalled Facebook and Facebook messenger it was hogging a lot of ram

I live in Abilene Texas. Is there someone I can pay to upgrade my Huawei M835? ?
I can mail the phone and I'd like to go to android 4.2+ or higher.
I'd like to also have the Firefox browser and the device rooted.
Please advise.
Note:
I searched the forums and Google for two days and had no luck.
Thank you!!

alright first of all don't be angry with my answer when you read it, its the Truth, we cant do much about it, unless there's a supa mega hacker who knows everything about huawei and has taken this thing apart 9000 times. this phone is only single cored phone at 528MHz with only 256MB of ram and only 512MB internal space ( around 150mb for the user to use.). the Specs on this phone are Terrible. im sure this was a great phone of its time and maybe still is to the people who have it, im not saying its not possible to put jelly bean onto this device (nobody would even think of putting android 4.3 onto this...) its just no one will want to take the time to get it to this device . Firefox browser for android is compatible with android 2.2 which your phone has you should be able to get it onto your device. if you want to root your phone you can try this method Here its is compatible with most phones android 2.1-3.3, if it doesn't work i would Google it. if that method i showed you please Tell me so we can help others root theirs
Edit: did a quick search and firefox says it only works on phones with 384 MB of Ram sorry mate
you're help means a lot, thanks!! ...
I didn't get mad. Instead, I laughed like crazy!!
I guess I just need another phone.
Metropcs was bought out by T-Mobile and all metropcs phones will need to operate on the T-Mobile network by 2015.
Can you suggest a phone that will have the features of the new android and internal storage you suggested and be able to run on or be switched over to the T-Mobile signal when the time comes?
I used gingerbreak 1.2 on my phone and busy box to get Root. It works terrific!
Do you have a link for Firefox 5.0? It's old as hell but none of the newer version's will install.
I really appreciate Your help!! It's been VERY enlightening.

i wouldn't know any phones from metropc that would be able to get onto a t-mobile network. as for the firefox i would just search up firefox 5.0 apk.
search for Firefox 5.0 apk at ftp.mozilla.com and old version. com ...
I did manage to install several versions of Firefox and none of them either run or show up in the applications menu. I did install 7zip from the Google play store, which allowed me to login to play. Google. Com and install the newest version,but no luck.
I found the http://FTP.Mozilla.org site with all the old versions of Firefox from version 0.8 (2004) to version 23 for 2013
There is also a site old. Versions. Firefox. Com that I got the first Firefox version 5.0 from but I can't get it to run or create /etc/Firefox folders with Root Explorer.
Currently, I'm running Gingerbreak 1.2 and Busybox Pro with PDANET and Titanium Backup to freeze unused metropcs apps.
I'm sorry you dunno metropcs and their cdma system. That's perfectly okay.
Thank you very much for being here to help me!! - Your knowledge
is absolutely priceless my friend.

there is a way to get it working on your device just have to find the right one maybe a modified version.
a modified version of Firefox will work! ..
I started downloading Ubuntu and I'm still searching for a Firefox that will work on this. I actually found a premium Linux installer on Google play that installs Ubuntu and Debian from sourceforge.net.

sweet thinkin of getting ubuntu on one of my phones one of these days. maybe if i revive my galaxy s2, i heard they put it on that.
Ubuntu on android from Google Play Store
I got the complete Linux installer from Google play and got the Ubuntu 12 and debian small to go onto my phone right from sourceforge. Net.
The complete Linux installer has a direct link in their app so there's no guessing if your adding the right thing.
I've been thinking about my spam links and wondered if there was a clean version of gingerbreak 1.2.floating around.??
I'm thinking I need to reroot my phone, from scratch, eh??

I have a zte open c from eBay , U.S. model. It shipped with stock comebuy ffos 1.3 , I didn't like the ffos software so I updated to the comebuy kitkat rom which disappointedly did not have any Google services installed for whatever reason still baffles me. I tried for weeks to figure this thing out, not being experienced in programming does not help. I noticed the android kitkat ran much smother on the device, however without the Google apps it seemed quite useless to me so I went back to the ffos rom, the apps from market place in comparison to the android apps are like going from an xbox 360 to a sega genesis, android being the (xbox 360) of course. A few days ago I came across the zte upgrade tool and updated with the ffos us eBay rom with root. Now I cannot update OTA from phone nor can I update back to kitkat version nor any others, I get signature failed errors. I am not a programmer so if some one can explain how to fix this with detailed steps I would really appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is a thread you could ask for help in,
> Firefox OS > Firefox OS General > AOSP 4.4.2 for the ZTE Open C
Good luck!
3 years ago somebody downgraded somebody I met at the internet successful my Samsung J5 to Android 5.
Now I think about the possibility to downgrade my Samsung A7 (A750GN) to Android 4.
Would it be possible?
In know with such a questions a lot of people want to know why.
It's simple.
I love how 4 looks.
I could still enjoy 5 if I have too.
And Android is gone the same negative way like Microsoft with Windows 10.
Every new Android Version has more and more rubbish included I don't use and I don't want,
Today is (for me) my Android Version a overloaded fat elephant with so many bad functions I can't turn off.
I would like to have a "Android Lite" and I would like to have a Android that looks like 4 or 5.
But would it be possible?
I have never ever done something like this for myself.
That last time with my J5 somebody installed a remote control on my laptop and I plugged in my mobile and this guy has done everything remote controlled.
I have still to today no idea who he was and from where he was.
But it worked fine.
He downgraded my J5 to Android 5 and he changed something in such a way the mobile never ask for a update and when I try to force a update I get the wrong answer the newest update in installed.
Absolute great.
That is what I'm looking for with my A7.
Any ideas?
It is NOT possible to downgrade your A7 to android 5.
When a new phone comes out , for example the A7 2018 , it was launched with android 8.
It can not be downgraded to any version below the version it came out with.
Even after updating from android 8 to the latest android 10 , i don't think it is possible to even downgrade to android 8 again (because samsung updates, patch your phone with the new update.)
Galaxy J5 was released with android 5 touchwiz, the android 5 system customized by Samsung.
The person who was connected to your computer has installed a custom rom (probably an AOSP rom , as you described being a "lite version".)
AOSP roms are roms without the Samsung add-ons and customizations , created by developers here on XDA.
For the moment , an AOSP android 10 for A7 2018 is not available , but there is another way to get a "lite " version of android 10 on your device.
As it needs a lot of reading and understanding on android development, i do not sugges you doing so .
It is called GSI and you can find by reading in the correct thread , for example :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/help/how-to-install-gsi-samsung-galaxy-a7-t4165617
Please , be aware that you might brick your device if you decide to experiment with its system.
Hope this helps you.
Good evening,
I restarted my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 after a long time. However, it is now slow and I can no longer install recent apps. I like the apps I like to use are Onedrive, Word, Outlook.. Which software should I upgrade the tablet to, so that I can use Onedrive, Word apps?
I have read up a bit but otherwise I am a layman.. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Androd 6 is the best option. But reccently there is an android 8 rom developed for tab 2. I myself haven't tried it but you can have a look at the thread here.
These are some best roms:
Resurrection remix : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQICBAC&usg=AOvVaw1PxtYepshuVJGhwILyAok1
This is the best as per my experience. Its Android 6 and also fast. It is fastest without gapps and I'll recommend don't install them since Microsft apps work without play services.
Lineage os 13 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjABegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw0ngVERkcUHwdW6OdL7FTx8
This is another great one and works well. Again, with gapps it's slow (and mostly all roms are). Its an Android 6 rom.
Slimrom 4.4 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw1pIY6ZrmjDiXzCAxuW-p9R
To be honest, this rom would have been the first in my list but it isn't because it's kitkat (android 4.4.4) and that means less apps support. It is faster than android 6 roms and also stable.
Last suggestion : don't go for android 7 roms. Without gapps they are as slow as android 6 roms with gapps.
If we install without gapps whats the best way to get apps like Facebook and youtube if we don't have playstore?
Idk if facebook needs gapps or not, but normal youtube will not work without them, there's things like microg and vanced.
Use aurora store to get apps from google play store without gapps.
Simple and easy all you need is fdroid store and you'll find all apps you need there including youtube apps like newpipe, libretube, etc..
Start exploring life without gapps, it's less stressful for your device and your life
can you have the stoke rom of samsung galxy tab 2 10.1 like icechream sandwhich

Good night
I know this forum is old and this topic will be somewhat forgotten, but after some hard work and tinkering that I have put into these teams, I decided to share my experiences and recommendations for their devices.
To begin with, in recent times all computers with versions prior to 6.0 and all those related to Marshmallow are becoming obsolete, adding versions such as Dhollmen, RRemix or Cyanogenmod 13, which although remarkably stable, many programs have already lost their compatibility, but very soon i found a solution for these problems.
Inquiring in the Microg forums there is talk of a native Spofing support for Omniroms, and with this in mind I decided to try the latest version of Nougat to see what result can be achieved, and since then I continue using this system that has given me so far good results.
for all devices (P31XX and P51XX) I use Anykernel created by Android-Andi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-unified-anykernel.3484739/page-11#post-79313152
Link of the Omniroms build forums (choose your corresponding model):
Downloads for : Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
And for great performance use Nanodroid Microg:
Nanolx.org Downloads Archive
I flash this and at boot up active from "microg settings" all the boxes are empty.
So far for those who read it, leave your comments, finally I only have a problem that is when trying to put full screen on YouTube, which until now I have not found a solution but I can live with it.
That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

The newest android version u can install is 4.4.4 kitkat, the lollipop download links are broken but i think there is a mirror avalible, tweakdroid is the fakest android rom site ever, they say u can install it (which u cant since of it low storage and ram amount) and they dont even give a download link.
This is so fake that when you copy the download link it shows
