Hey guys, could you recommend any roms for the international s3, because i currently have cyanogenmod 10.1, and the battery life just isn't long enough for me. I have tried other modded stock roms and the battery life was great, but the performance was not anything compared to cm 10.1 . I was just looking for a inbetween-sort of rom. Thanks!
I suggest you spend some time going through your device-specific forums to see what's available and give some of them a try

i know its a tad early but id love to see this rom come to the s4. im not doing a bounty thread but i encourage all of you to ask beans to port this. especially for the US variants. i used to run his roms on my old verizon s3 and they was awesome.
Looks pretty fluid, how was the battery life / subjective performance and stability?

Yeah his roms are great. Loads of options and the battery life was good.
Hello Folks,
my Samsung Galaxy S broke last week and I need a new phone! I tried a lot of roms on that phone and was very pleased with the variety of customization and flashs for it. The MIUI Rom was by far the best one I tried (GB and ICS), i really love the smooth and intuitive OS and that's why I want a phone that fully supports MIUI V5 and by that I mean it should work for daily use, work fluently and stable!
It's not necessary that it's an official MIUI V5 Rom, it should just be stable, as already said.
I'm pretty open for every brand or model, I would prefer if the performance was better than the Galaxy S, since I want a snappy phone!
Thanks in advance!

Then I would order a phone from China. MIUI is not respected here nor is the company that produces it.
I'm about to sell on my nexus S and was playing around with cm 10.1. It was good but lacked the cool features of slimbean, especially the option for softkeys. Decided to flash it and now I really, really like the rom.
Now before I sell it on, which I am now delaying a bit thanks to the wicked features of the ROM (!), what kernels do you recommend for decent performance and best battery life whilst using slim bean build 8? I have read good things bout marmite kernel so far but I suppose there are kernels out there with better battery life. Thanks.

Marmite the non-CM version case Slim bean is based on AOSP not CM (Slim vas based on CM with jellyBean 4.1), Devil kernel is CM based so it will work only with Slim based on JB 4.1, if you want Slim 4.2.2 oe 4.3 then Marmite
So I've been thinking of swapping out my Galaxy S6 for either a Oneplus two or Nexus 6P
It's not that I hate the galaxy S6 as it is, but the damn touchwiz sometimes ruins the experience. Considering the closed source nature of the Exynos, is there even a possibility in the near future for the S6 to have near stock android roms like Cyanogenmod? I do want to stay with the S6 because of the beastly exynos chip and the great camera, and also android marshmallow is coming near for the galaxy devices, it's just that the software is kinda laggy.
can you give me some of your thoughts?
There is an active github for development of a CM ROM. That said, I'm not dev savvy enough to know where it stands and don' want to bother the Dev as that is pretty close to an ETA question. But it is in the works. Not too thrilled with the new Nexus devices personally. too large in form factor or underwhelming in specs.

Same. I'd really love to have an AOSP rom for the Galaxy S6. Only reason I'm looking forward for the nexus or onplus devices is because of the stock android experience. Tbh, Touchwiz can be kinda boring, and lagging sometimes. Not to mention the horrible RAM management. If it weren't for the Exynos chip, I would have gotten the Oneplus or Nexus devices lol
As of late, I've seen the thread where a certain dev was working on CM, but I think on the last post on that thread, i believe he closed it due to lack of people working on it. I dunno
Hopefully someone can clarify if there really is a dev working on an AOSP, I really want to stay with the S6.

With the proper kernel settings and ROM, this phone is as smooth as nexus device with much faster loading times for apps. Not to mention great multitasking (literally had 15 apps open at once and none of them reloaded) and amazing battery life ~6hr SOT. I can say that Vindicator kernel with xtrestolie is one of the best
There are some opengl problems with 5.1.1 tw roms. So the performance is not good as 5.0.1. I am also considering to change my phone to nexus 6P.

I've recently installed xtroleti with Unikernel on it, set on Medium profile. Do you think the vindicator kernel is better? If so, on what terms?
damnn, still waiting if we'll ever have AOSP roms
I'm waiting for AOSP roms too. Thinking about selling my S6 to get a nexus 6p.

to be honest, with the available custom roms and kernels right now for galaxy s6, the s6 runs almost 99 % smooth, no stuttering whatsoever. I'm using Xtrolite with unikernel set on medium profile, the device is flawless in terms of software (excluding the ram management of course).
but yeah, I'm really hoping for AOSP roms, particularly Cyanogenmod. Can someone confirm if certain devs are working on it? I'm willing to donate
Im pretty sure we will see cyanogenmod 13 aprox a month after the first marshmallow release of samsung for any exynos 7420 device.
reasons?
1. Big demand since there are 4 exynos 7420 devices (s6, s6 edge+, s6 edge plus and note 5)
2. This also means there is a bigger dev base compared to older exynos devices from samsung.
And srsly guys do you think the phone of the year wont get aosp? We just need a bit more patience.
1% near impossible, well at least a stable rom.

Theres no exynos sources so it could take months to even get the screen to work.

As it was the case on the s4 i9500 and s5 but still donne pretty well thanks to developers like arter.

Yes, however, many developers don't even think of the S6 because of the S2 (CM built but LAGGY).
I doubt Arter would try to develop CM for the S6, he develops the Note 5 ROM which I use

and im pretty sure anything that was running on the s2 was laggy

Vindicator i personally think blows every kernel out of the water. Best battery life by far but performance does take a hit unless you get kernel aduitor and set enforcing mode to 1 in interactive governor settings for both cores. That will make your phone smoother than any other kernel by far. Battery life is still much better than any other kernel. GPU overclocking is also included which i like lol. The only problem is the very rare crash to lockscreen that sometimes happens on the test builds (which are the best ones).
