Samsung, a top mobile selling company all around the world, who enrolled smartphones in mobile markets the way they should be. They brought power of Android based smart phone with affordability, and a huge range to select a perfect one based on needed specification, and according to budget. From low range to super high, we all see Samsung’s devices to be on top priority of all users because of their good build quality, and good after sale services.
One the most popular handset from Samsung is Galaxy Grand, it comes with few variants classified on basis of dual-core and quad-core processors. In this post we will talk about Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos i9082, in terms of specification, this handset is good enough to entertain you much, but you’re limited to customization, and many things just because you are on stock firmware which was given default on device when you had purchased it.
The only way unlock this customization is by flashing a custom Rom.
the best ROMs I have tried ARE:
1-CYANOGENMOD
this rom is a perfect rom that supports lollipop 5.1.1 in its latest version cm12.1
2- TOUCHWIZ REVOLUTION V9
Very light Rom, only 500 MB size. Mostly all unnecessary apps has been removed, but don’t worry, all necessary apps would be there. Apart from being light, it offers high performance. It has been loaded with performance script and pre-over clocked settings.
3-Blisspop
BlissPop is one of the most highly customizable roms that you can install on your mobile device,
BlissPop is CM12.1 based, with some features added in from various roms.
4-Resurrection Remix ®
Resurrection Remix ROM has been based on AOKP, CM, Omni, Slim, PA and original Remix ROM builds, creating an awesome combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your device
5-LiquidSmooth
LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on AOSP and SlimROM.

This is my first time installing a custom ROM on my original Moto G and with so many to choose from I was wondering what your opinion is. The Overview of the ROM doesn't say much about speed/battery/CPU Usage etc. I'm looking for a ROM that's light on CPU and Battery as well as fast and customizable. I know CM is the most popular but I've heard it's not to good with battery life. Oh, and one more thing, Going with customizeability/features idea I would prefer Android 6. Any input would be greatly apreciated
P.S. Wouldn't mind kernel recommendations either, but I have a less than basic understanding of a kernel .
I would recommand ResurrectionRemix its based on 6.0.1 and has the april 2 security update and has OTA support its based on CM13 also but has so many tweaks and customization without loosing fluidity and smoothness im runnning it after testing multiple rom andits the one I<ll stay with until android 7... im getting 6h screen on time on a 12h uptime day (yesterday) it also offers the cm13 theme installer so pretty sick
Hello Mattwmaster58,
I am in the same situation - looking for a fast, stable(!) & bug-free rom with very good battery-performance.
I have testet many xda-roms for my old samsung-phone (S3 mini), and was surprised how much one differs from the others.
There is quite big list of number of Custom ROMs available for Moto G which might confuse users like us. Every single rom has some advantages and disadvantages.
For me it is important that the rom-thread provides a list of bugs and features, and also shows what changes were made (for instance: Omni-Rom).
I haven't shifted from Orion OS from 4 months give it a try buttery smooth and stable totally bug free if u don't use soft reboot that's IMO nothing big
Btw do tell if u find a better in terms of battery or performance or either
I have tested 15 ROMs for Moto G (Falcon) and below is my recommendation of ROMs :
- Omnirom : Stable and fluid.
- SlimSaber : Optimized version of Omnirom - fast smooth and stable, especially previous version. Good battery SoT.
- Exodus : rock solid stable.
- IDCrisis : stock based, stable
Am currently using LOS 14.1 but am not completely satisfied in terms of customisations (coming from rr.i love rr).However since rr takes up a lot if space and didn't receive the love it deserve .I have chose 3 options which should i take:
CrDroid
Aex
Aicp
In terms of pure customisations and performance which should i choose?I am willing to trade a little bit of performance for more customisability.
In my opinion AICP ROM is the best because crdroid aex have the same problems
The video does not work and
Wab view
This ROM is best in terms of performance and the space it uses but in not customization
It is based on the stock rom and the lollipop version of android
It is the lollipop extreme rom
Just checked the list of devices receiving the Android 12 update with OneUI 4 and our beloved Galaxy A20 is nowhere to be seen. Since the A20 already got 2 major updates the possibility of Samsung putting any effort to surprise users is very low.
Multiple security updates are yet to come but any OS updates is highly unlikely.
What are your thoughts? Which custom rom are you going to prefer if any?
Edit : OneUI 4.1 ROM is now available for A205X. OneUI 5.1 is in beta.
I noticed Eureka are releasing a lot of Android 12 ROMS lately. There's:
LighthouseOS
PixelPlusUI
crDroid
ProjectArcana
SuperiorOS
AospExtended
evolution
Arrow
I haven't installed any yet because I don't really want to move from OS 11 to 12 at this time.

I've been following Eureka Team on Telegram for quite some time now. Almost all the Android S ROMs are test builds. Some common features and settings are missing. Those who implemented the features are broken in many areas.
Android 12 has impressed me with it's performance so far. It's noticeably faster than any Android R ROMs I've used.
Fingers crossed, I have a lot of hope in Eureka.

What ROM are you running now? Is there one you would recommend?
I'm using the Stock ROM - June update. Basically removed the features considered useless, installed Eureka and called it a day. Tried hKtweaks but it just makes the phone unstable.
Project Sakura is what stayed on my phone for the longest time. UI might look less uniform at times but does the job.
Custom ROMs are a mere hobby for me. If A20 is your daily driver then I won't recommend using any custom rom at all. voLTE is broken in all all of them. But I still try every ROM that comes out.
-------------------------
Exceptions of voLTE bug are the modded OneUI ROMs, basically debloated stock ROMs which you could simply do by rooting, no need to waste data for just more broken features.
So after My Poco F1 finally died a sudden death after lasting me well over 4 years. Thanks to the Ressurection Remix ROM and removing the great deal of bloatware that came with the phone straight out of Factory, the ROM made all the difference and totally transformed the phone. ROMs are something I've always ran on all the phones I've owned. This until now with the Google Pixel 6a.
With this phone, I've quickly bought it the minute the price dropped in great deal today down to under £200. From what I can tell though, there doesn't seem to any Custom ROMs or Kernel Upgrades. Why is this? From what I've read, Google plan to continuously release various upgrades to this phone for some time to come.
How is the ROM in General? Does it run without a whole bunch of bloatware?
Thanks and I look forward to your responses.
How about https://grapheneos.org/releases ?
I don't use anything
That uses automatic update where you can't turn it off
We weren't allowed to use a Microsoft system at work, although I am now retired and the last time I used a Microsoft system was in the '90s '94 to be exact
Why would anybody use this system
I just use Google system. I modify it the way I want it to be and I'm all good

There are plenty, just not necessarily on XDA.
There are no ROMs like ArrowOS or Pixel Experience available for this particular phone I've noticed? Is there a particular reason why this is the case?

Do you know of any in particular that you would recommend? XDA has always been my number one resource when it comes to ROMs.
Im biased as I build one, so I would just choose whichever best suits your needs,
There are a few custom ROMs here on XDA

Thanks for sharing all these useful links. Tomorrow, I'll the time an go through each of these ROMs and see where there any that seem to tickle my fancy. As it stands though, it seems Google have done a pretty good job with this overall interface so I may end up sticking with it for a little while and see how I like iit.
If you want something similar to RR, I'd recommend crDroid.
Stock ROM is fine if you don't need any "extra" features.

Out of curiosity, are you happy using the Stock ROM? Or have you changed it up and moved to a Custom ROM like crDroid?
For the first time ever, I'm half tempted to stick with the default ROM purely for the following reassurance that all Pixel 6a Users will continue receiving Android versions until July 2025 and Security until July 2027. That in itself is a reason to stick around.

Eh. I used to have a 4a up until like 3-4 months ago. I used the stock ROM on that for about a year and a half, I think. Had absolutely no issues. Before my 4a, I was using a OnePlus 3T where I fell in love with RR.
Sure, after switching to the Pixel and to its vanilla software, I missed like 3 features from RR, but I kinda forgot about them after a few weeks. When I eventually did flash RR on my 4a (or, since there was no RR for newer Android versions, crDroid), I think I just did it for the sake of modding my device. Afterall, besides the uselessly large amount of features in RR/cr, there are a few that I rely on. Not to mention rooting and using ACC.
On my 6a, I initially wanted to stick to using the factory ROM for a good while as well, but I ran into some issues after upgrading to A13, where some apps (especially navigation apps) had to be re-launched 2-4 times before they had access to mobile data, so I could actually use them to help me move around the city I live in. I asked around and was told that a factory reset should fix my issues. I saw that there was active development of crDroid for the 6a, and if I had to factory reset and had to set up all my apps again, why not switch to crDroid with all its neat features, and why not root to be able to use ACC right then and there?
TL;DR: The factory ROM is more than enough for day-to-day use. It's safe, it's stable, it's (mostly) reliable (YMMV, random issues seem to happen to random people randomly, no pattern, really). If there was a way to limit the maximum charge level and rate of the battery on the stock ROM, I would probably not root nor move to a custom one (or at least not until Google stop supporting the 6a).

I use grapheneos on 6Pro, and have set up similar on 7Pro for my wife and for a friend. I can't compare to original mess of gooble, since all 3 devices only booted on it long enough to hit the switch to enable bootloader unlocking.
GrapheneOS is absolutely the best option there is when you're looking for security and privacy, and with just a little bit of imagination, all of the g-cloud nonsense can be replaced by a self-hosted Nextcloud.
