Brand new G3!

At 1:15 today ill be picking up my new G3 from the AT&T store! incredibly excited!
I have been using the G2 and messing with it for months so i just hope i have the same range of options with this phone, which leads me to ask...
What are some of your favorite things about this phone? what are your favorite roms, mods, theams, tweaks? and lastly, are there any things about this phone i should know about before messing with it too much, like any common issues that will be frustrating?
Thank you all for your time, i look forward to seeing if anyone has any suggestions for me

The most frustrating thing about this phone is that any custom ROM's that are available tend to eat more battery than stock. The absolute best ROM for this phone ATM is the Cloudy G3 ROM which is a stock ROM that is debloated and had a few extra features thrown in. Everything works spectacularly well on this ROM and battery life is phenomenal. But hey, throw on Nova Prime launcher and make it your own, the possibilities are endless. LOL

That's funny, because i found the exact same thing with my G2! I hated every ROM until i used Cloudy G3 and i loved it!
Unfortunately at one point my G2 hard bricked and i kinda blamed it on how many times I've changed ROM'S and recovery's i had tried, and since i was using Cloudy at the time i really felt it was partly because of it. And after i replaced the Mobo i kept it stock but always missed it lol.

Just rooted my LG G3 ATT with avicohh's tool and it was a smooth transaction. I'd like to find just a stock ROM that is already debloated but honestly it's smarter for you to use Titanium and choose what apps you don't want to be a part of your system. If I see a strong response to better battery life on a specific ROM I might flash it but until then it's stock with minor modifications to storage/RAM hogging features. You'll love your G3. It's different to a degree but it's snappy and tough. The default icons for apps is pretty bad which is my only gripe so far and of course button placement forces you to use screen taps to lock/unlock. Make sure your case has a pretty good space between the cutout and your flash/sensor/camera on the back. Tight cuts in that area make the camera less effective due to reflecting or blocking light.

Is this still the best option for optimal battery life on the G3? It's about time I flashed something worthy.

Cloudy is the only ROM I will run on mine until someone else comes out with a stock based ROM that is worthy. I have tried several of hte variants built from CM source, and don't get me wrong, they are very fast, stable and are for the most part daily drivers. But none of the CM variants have the G3 camera and none that I have found have the awesome battery life that I experience with Cloudy.

You think the g3 cam is superior? I tried using camera zoom pro but the results were pretty bad...

Yes, G3 cam is the best out there other than the stock cam on the S6.

I found one on this site that I've liked quite a bit, forget what its called though.
so far my only issue with this phone is my inability to install xposed framework and get the g3 tweakbox. apparently since i have lollipop on my phone its a nightmare.

Well that's great news because I'm running lollipop haha but fortunately I didn't used xposed much on my last phone so perhaps I won't need it this time around either.

Yeah I'm sure you won't XD. But for me i used it on my G2 and i customized every little thing to the point where it was exactly the way i like it, and i wish i had that ability with the G3

Whats the best/stable Battery Saving Stock ROM/Kernel for the S7 right now ?

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.

So I would like some ROM Opinions.

Hey boys and girls! It's been a bit of awhile since I've posted. I've had my Tmobile Note 5 since the day of release and I've loved this phone ever since day 1! As of right now Im currently running a Sky High kernel and N5 Express. Unfortunately my Note 5's time has come and I've pre ordered the S8 Plus, so I'll just be pretty much using it more or less as a personal media device or maybe for bluetooth lol. I understand that each developer here has their own purpose to each and every ROM but I just sorta want some info from some of you people in the T-Mobile section. What are you running? Why do you prefer it? I know how to flash so I don't really need any assistance in that. Shoot. I've been customizing phones ever since the PPC6700 . Your opinions are much appreciated!

Hi mate, my 2 cents here, I have been using darkstalker rom for a while, it's a stock based rom with all the bells and whistles that you would expect from a custom rom.. Its becoming outdated but I use it mainly for the stability, I hadn't a single crash since I installed it, impressive.. I wouldn't mind an update though, but the developer is no longer updating it. Just my 2 cents..

I'm currently on Khongloi's S8 Nougat and its running pretty good. the issues that was in v4 have been worked out in v5. There's also an issue with Titanium Backup not seeing that your phone is rooted but there's a fix for that as well. I have been using it for a few days and I must say, I'm very impressed with the ROM. Once Nougat comes out to our phones (any day now......) then development will open up again.

Sounds good
Hey your input is much appreciated and I will definitely play with the Darth Stalker! I like the amount of customization as well!

Very nice I will have to mess around with that S8 rom too! Makes me stoked for my new one to come . I appreciate the information and I look forward to taking a part into that development aswell!

I was formerly using Darthstalker, but I've since moved to Nemesis Rom for some hands on with Nougat. While I like the rom itself I miss the full range of customization that Darthstalker has. The closest thing that I've seen in terms of customization is NN8 Rom but I've yet to get call audio working on it.

Best custom ROM for 8t

Hi , i stopped changing Rom when I bought the 8t coming from 6t , but now I am bored and I'd like to try a new rom , which is the best custom ROM for 8t ?
Most important things for me :
Stable and fast ( fingerprint also fast)
Good camera (like stock one )
Good battery
Thanks if someone wants to share their experience on multiple custom roms I'd be glad

Of course rom choice is a individual preference but mine is AICP. Good stable, smooth with a few customizations. Can be used with a couple of the custom kernels out there. Not strictly Pixel based. Updated weekly for all devices supported.

had the same thoughts this friday and spend the weekend trying ROMs and twrp
long story short - stock is better for this phone
I was using custom ROMs for years on different phones (starting OnePlus One and Cyanogen mod by Sultanxda), so I know exactly how a good custom ROM feels and works
for this particular model I'm kind of disappointed and "forced" to go back to stock
off course, you can say that you don't use autobrightness or you are ok with how the fingerprint works (or don't use other stuff I've noticed), but for me stock is much better in a daily driver perspective
if you are really bored and have enough free time, it's better to try yourself and make your own opinion about it

only problem is that the stock rom is less trustworthy than even having google up your phones you-know-what

Different stock rom or custom rom for better overall experience?

Hi guys,
I’ve been using google pixel devices on and off over the years and finally got a second hand Pixel 4a last week. I immediately flashed latest stock 12 thinking that it’s the best with battery life which is apparently not. So I’m thinking of flashing a custom ROM or downgrade to different stock android version. I’ve seen that stock android 11 is overall good for 4a. Is it true? Or is there any good stock/custom ROM that is good with device? As I said, I don’t mind downgrading
TIA

To each there own when it comes different ROMs, I just started using this phone and I stayed on 12 so I've used all the 12 ROMs available, some have a lot of features available and others not so many, u can usually tell from the op post what your getting by reading the description,, iam currently on lineage 19 which I like for its simplicity, ,( i dont use alot of the features) you will probably find your own bugs in each ROM, everyone's different it seems, so my advice is to try them all,

Are custom roms overally more snappy and smooth compared to stock at this time?

Not really, to be honest some ( not all ) are bad as far as response , smoothness, gestures. But most are quite good. I think the biggest selling point is the vast amount of new features they offer such as CR Droid. What makes it for me is if I get bored with one I can switch , right now I am on beta 3 and it's pretty good. Once again the only way to know is to start flashing. Hth
