I am looking to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition sm-p607t from lollipop 5.1.1 to either {RR-N-v5.8.4-20170808-lt03lte-Unofficial} or {lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-lt03lte-signed}.
I would like to get some opinions..... which one do you prefer? I like what i hear about the customization options from RR, but I am concerned about the unofficial version, and how easy/difficult it would be to update it as necessary. I was also wondering how the battery life and stability compare.
Thanks all
Battery life depends on you.
As for stability, that varies from device to device with the Android version. You can flash and see how you like it.
Being unofficial doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. It's just not built from anyone on the team.

Good Day XDA Friends
As you can see from my tag, I am a retired developer.I was around in the days od Droid, Droid X, & Nexus G and was a member of a few outstanding teams like Team Liberty, Team Gummy, Sensei Mods, etc & had the pleasure of learning from pioneers like Chevy No.1 Droid, Jrunny16, Kejar31, Fab, etc. Things were much more cut and dry back then. Fast forward to today in the land of MM, Nougant, etc and I have a lot of catching up to do. First I would like to thank all you newer Devs who have kept Android growing & thriving beyond anything we thought possible, kudos to you guys!
I purchased a Nexus 5 to practice and learn on, but the phone will also be my daily driver, so I don't want to bomb out of the gate and brick my phone.
I am running the Google Nexus 5 with stock Android 6.0.1 build M4B30X on baseband M8974A-2.050.2.30, Kernal is 3.4.0-g99666f7.
I have rooted the phone and have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP 2.8.7.1, but that is the extent of my customizations.
I would like to get into Nougant Roms and possibly CM. Not Sure what to flash next to become current.
I would appreciate any guidence you can give on my next steps as far as what my next steps should be. I'm looking at [HAMMERHEAD][7.1.1_r6] Zephyr OS v6.1 [DUI/OMS][27/12/2016] - [N5][OFFICIAL][7.1.0]Tesla N - 7.1.1_r4 [OMS] [28/12] - [CM14.1][7.1.1_r6] DARK ROM [Pixel features][Delta updates][12/29] - [ROM][N5][7.1.1_6]★ Pure Nexus ★ Substratum ★[16/12/16] [Official] CyanogenMod 14.1 for Nexus 5 (hammerhead)- [ROM] [hammerhead+caf] [7.1.1] [LOS-based] **crDroid**v1.8 - [Hammerhead][official][2016/DEC/28] Slim6 weekly 1.17 / Slim7 alpha 0.5
Could someone who is knowledgeable tell me or link me to any upsates I must haave befoe flafing?
Thanks in advance for your time! :good:

There isn't much left. The Nexus is basically unbrickable with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP, unless you corrupt a bootloader flash.
However, you have the latest bootloader and radio, so there aren't any issues there
If you want to really get into Nougat you have quite a few decent options.
In no particular order-
- Slim7 Alpha (AOSP, pretty great ROM, minimal, fantastic battery life, blows all CM ROMs out of the water in terms of battery :good:, but lacks some features that other CM ROMs have (Night Display, etc.))
- Dark ROM (CM14.1 stripped down)
- LineageOS CAF, and an unofficial non-CAF (CyanogenMod 14.1 has been renamed, and will be built under the moniker LineageOS. Non-CAF builds and the weekly builds structure will be sorted out eventually)
- NitrogenOS (fully fledged CM based and packed full of features. Everything you might have wanted with Xposed is in this ROM)
-crDroid (CM14.1 based, lots of features)
-Santosh's AOSP- constant updates, stable, most bugs have been fixed regarding HDR/screen recording/green lines while video recording
...and many more. All of these are decent daily drivers; I cannot attest to their screen recording capabilities but I do know that some do have bugs concerning that as well as Google Camera/HDR.
Please note that most Nexus 5s with non-OEM screen replacements cannot boot CAF (Snapdragon Optimized). Be sure which ROM you are flashing!
IMO CAF gives slightly better performance but is relatively unstable and results in quite a few lags across different ROMs.
I also can highly recommend the blu_spark kernel as well as the ElementalX kernel for Nougat ROMs. I prefer blu_spark for its customizability, but ElementalX is rock stable.
That's it really. Just be sure to wipe system/data/dalvik/cache before clean flashing a ROM. Never flash custom kernels/ROMs over different custom kernels/ROMs; you can generally flash the same custom kernel/ROM over a previous version of the same kernel/ROM.
I was using crDroid for a long time since first came out with N version, but now I'm using AICP, because it's AOSP based and I must say I prefer it more than CM based, I found it's power consumption is lower and lower memory footprint plus it gets constant updates, so I use it now on both D821 and G3 D855 as well...
What version of cm /lineage is best for n5? In terms of speed and stability?

Go for 13.0 which is Android Marshmellow 6.0.1, this was the last 'stable' release of CyanogenMod. I have no experience with Nougat on N5 yet, but I suspect performance drawbacks as it is not officially (as in Google) supported anymore.
Also, there is no Xposed framework available for Android 7.1, I'll stick with CM 13.0 for now. That said, I just checked and noticed there aren't any Lineage 13.0 builds anymore. If you are nosy, you can try out the Lineage 14.1 ROM.

Stick with Marshmallow, totally. Nougat has an annoying camera bug
It's the CM version right? No lineage version out yet?

Bro, try out the CM/Lineage OS 14.1 by Dark eyes. The ROM is great!!
I think Nougat is an upgrade for N5. Smoother and more features. Smoooooth. I was always on stock before, so that's my comparison. I've tried both DarkRom versions (caf and regular), and both Lineage versions (unofficial caf and official regular), I think they're all an improvement over mm. I settled on the official Lineage rom, as I prefer simple.
The website I went to was:
www.resurrectionremix.com
which the download led me to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/
The thing is, after much investigation, I realized that the "kenzo" or "bacon" or "capricon" prefixes mean that the file is specifically meant for a specific phone model.
So... Am I right? Or can I just flash this one I downloaded to my Galaxy S6 SM-920I:
RR-N-v5.8.3-20170621-kenzo-Nightly.zip
If I'm right then, where can I find the OFFICIAL release of Resurrection Remix Nougat for S6?
I found a thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evelopment/rom-ressurrection-remix-m-t3271228
which is the UNOFFICIAL version which makes me uncomfortable because I'm worried that the app does not have the full features of the official releases. However mainly I'm just looking into resurrection remix because of its said performance and battery life.
Also the ROM is marshmallow android 6.... I want it as android 7 :crying:
I'd recommend going to this Thread here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ressurection-remix-unofficial-nougat-t3548327
I installed it on my S6 Edge GM925F and am very pleased with it, there's a few more updated builds out there as well from the Nexus Rom website but not sure if it's open to be linked.
any more recommendations?

Hello everybody on XDA I am noob when it comes to this forum and android tickering.
Now I have got xda's android-andi's OS lineageos 14.1 on my device, and it's rooted.
How do I get a great custom kernel for it? Does the kernel need to be compatible with the operating system? Also which one is stable (i'd guess most of them)
I want a little overclocking to speed it up. Is dhollmen good?
In short:
Device Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3G & WiFi (p5100)
OS running on it: LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.2 based)
Custom kernal that can overclock etc. WANTED!
The solution is throw it into a garbage bin
Well, not. Lol. Mine it's so much faster with 14 and can be used. I know about Dholmenn kernel it oc at 1200 but never installed it since now
Howdy, everyone. I have SM-G313HN and it has CM-12.1 Installed. Its not very smooth. I have a friend, who can compile roms to my device and i found SlimLP. is this any good for better battery life, performance etc?
A mobile device's performance basically depends on its hardware ( CPU / GPU / RAM ).
BTW: SlimLP is deprecated. See also here
[CLOSED][DEPRECATED] SlimLP
SlimLP Android 5.x A new "unified" Galaxy Tab 2 section was added to our forum because we don't make a difference between p31xx an p51xx specific roms. Please use the Thread here for SlimLP related questions and feedback

All of this dpends on rom quality and device specs. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (1 GB ram) and except for SlimKAT (Android 4.4), LP, MM, N are not at all good. All of them are slow and if installed gapps, they are terrible !! Only SlimKAT is best among Slimroms for Tab 2.

I have experience of Ressurrection Remix (android 6) because no one made any android 5 RR rom for tab 2. RR (android 6) is one of the best roms I've found (for galaxy tab 2)

Yes that's possible. Maybe a kernel or some thing might help in having best performance.
Im still trying the slimLP cuz its pure android
