Really after 1 year of flashing more than 30 Custom ROM On my i9505 ,some based on the Stock and some based on the pure AOSP, I got nothing
All custom roms is just a vain and wasting of time
All the Custom ROMs have a bugs , problems , etc....
some make the device very hot , some make the battery fast drain , some make the device unstable , etc...
but with the Official rom , no problems , it's completed with no bugs , even with rooting
alot of devs make a roms whatever the rome base , but all with bugs , and when we ask the rom developer about the rom makes the battery drain faster he says : it will be fixed in the next rom update , and some says use UPSM to make the battery not drain fast , but why?
why I put my self in that situations as long as SAM maked everything be very good with it's Official ROM !!!!
really all the customs is very bad , and may the customs makes me able to use the other features like which in the S5 or Note 3 , but as I said all with bugs
I like the S5 Camera features and I tried it on mt i9505 but with bugs , where is eraser mod ? etc... the original S4 Camera app always can do the missions with perfect performance !!!
now I am on the official NE5 and received about 4 updates which made the device act as pro , so no need of anything else
and anyway S4 will not be something else whatever the features gained from the custom roms , S4 Camera will not be as 16 MP if I flash the phonex or imperium , S4 will not be as 3GB of RAM if I flash the rom with Note3 features
the conclusion : S4 will be S4 forever , the only way to make S4's Camera be like S5's Camera (I mean the app) is SAM Update with all the S5 Camera features and nothing else , and I think a lot of the pro devs after a years of developing some roms for i9505 is now using the official rom on their own devices because they sure that it's the right thing
thank you and again ****ck the Custom roms
I egree with OmarManLover after 2 years of flashing i am back on stock rom
Omg you're both so very wrong!
After my first year being rooted I went back to stock, lasted just under a day. Custom ROMs really do offer so much more and I for one appreciate all the hard work and hours the devs put in and will always continue to use custom ROMs.
I'd have to agree with UniqueFreak though, Custom ROMs make in to a completely different beast
Custom ROMs aren't for everyone. You have to have some patience to get it set up perfectly for your needs and taste, as well as be smart enough to learn how to take full advantage of all the additional features/tweakables.
I'm using stock google play edition ROM. I tried the latest stock samsung when I upgraded boot loader, modem etc.
It was laggy, UI feels like it's from 1998. Camera is great but gallery is really slow. I hate that you can't slide between tabs. Just feels cheap. Window animations and ui sounds are not my cup of tea.
GPE is optimized and has all the proper drivers so it runs smooth as silk. camera/audio quality is great. Only thing I miss from Samsung is the brightness slider in notifications.

Why are you even on XDA?
I think that samsung official stock rom has a beautiful UI,features but it has bad performance
Instead google edition or AOSP have good performance and less features
If you want beautiful UI,features and performance i suggest you to wait for android L

The only additional features touch wiz has are gimmicky stuff. Aosp has the ability to add just about any useful feature your brain can think up through root apps or closed modules.
First , thank you all for your participation with my thread
I know that the Official stock rom miss some good features like the tools which works with an custom kernel like GoggyMax ,Talexop , etc ... which means that I cane control the CPU voltage , clocking , etc...
but may be I was wrong , really I miss a lot of things with the official rom like UPSM , download booster , Air Walkup , etc.... and may the rooted stock rom is not enough , I tried rooted i9505 with stock official with wanam xposed , complete action+ , Greenfly , etc .. but did not get the extreme performance like the imperium , phonex , etc...
and I was unfair when I said **** the custom roms because their is hard workers behind that custom roms working night and day and I now apologize to all of them , now I get back my word and whatever the official rom is stable or not , the devs is stronger than Sam and always beats the sam head
thanks for all the devs for giving us the new features from an devices which stronger than us , you are the MEN forever
thank you
Just came to the i9505 after more than two years on the i9300.
On the i9300 there was no denying it : nothing beats a clean optimized stock rom.
But here on the i9505, there is this marvel that is GPE. It's like the best of both worlds : AOSP performance with Samsung official stability and support. Actually GPE should be considered stock.
I agree with you about trying to turn GS4 into GS5, then Note3, then Note4 etc... But it's just a matter of what you expect from your phone : some people see it as a really fun tech accessory that they want to tweak and try all sort of gimmicks on, some other people see their phone as a reliable tool and need stability above all.
Pointless debating it. Custom vs Official is a purely personal choice. Each ROM has something to offer make your own choice and be happy with it. The most important thing is that we have a choice. Thank you Developers
I use the stock rom because i like the things easy with zero job out of the box, but sometimes i test some customs and are too good, i can use any as daily driver, sometimes i can see bugs or details i dont like but i think this is personal opinion and too much roms are work in progress what can you spect for nightlies or betas? A final result? Bah...
Thanks for all cookers too make awesome roms and kernels, without you i cant enjoy my old terminals, without you i cant extract the best juice from my devices.
Horrible thread, how can you feel as dev if you do all these work for free and read that things... Beh...

I tried stock touchwiz, tw-based rom, gpe, and cm. Ended up using cm11 for a good few mths now, and never looked elsewhere.
I like gpe too but cm11 has added much more features now, plus I can dirty flash updates. No need for backing up every time. Makes my snapdragon 600 cpu worthwhile.

this is always the same question... but "de gustibus non est disputandum", however official is always better for stability but we have touchwiz and nexus experience( official too ) so you can choose the best mode! and this is great!

What are you even doing here on XDA? Clearly it is not for you. You are just one of those new generation members that think this is some sort of servicedesk.
I don't know if you noticed but its XDA DEVELOPERS. That means developing. Developing means bugs. What did you expect? That if you use a ported S5 camera app that everything works? Because if you think that then you are just dumb.
There are so many custom roms. Some are almost bug free, some are experimental, some are heavily themed. The more modding the more bugs there will be. That you can't find a good stable rom says more about yourself then about the roms here. I am using stable customs roms with no bugs that I noticed.
So yes you should stay on the official roms and away from custom roms.

what is the Rom name which has no bugs and stable Sir ?
Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 currently running the Vodafone official Lollipop ROM. I find it very sluggish and would like to speed it up.
Would I see any benefit in rooting my phone and going to CM13 or an alternative Marshmallow ROM ?
I have 2 apps that I use constantly - IBM Verse and VPNCilla, both of which I use for work. Would both of these apps work
on a custom ROM, as this would be a deal breaker if they did not.
If all of the answers to the above were yes, where would be the best place to download the necessary ROM etc, as it has been a while since I have done this.
Many thanks,
Simon

Yes marshmallow is more smooth relative to lollipop.
As for your apps it depends on the ROM, if the ROM you are using has a VPN bug it means you won't be able to use vpncilla properly ,just check known issues of the ROM before flashing to make sure
XDA is the good place to find development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 try any other if you don't like it ,lots of marshmallow based ROMs out there nowadays

Can you recommend an alternative ROM to the CM one, as it states on the link that was sent that there is a problem will Call Audio, which is a problem for me, as I use the phone to make calls.
Thanks.

Hi guys!
I installed yesterday Miui 8 alpha from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-295006-1-1.html
ATTENTION!
This will be locked your bootloader!
I tried the recovery image, but it didnt work. I flashed first stable miui 7 from eu.miui than got I drecly a system update to Miui 8.
Unfortunately it's still based on android 5.1.1.
Here are screenshots.
How is Battery life... SOT? Thank you!
I dont know. I didnt so much used. Now Im back to sMiui. But I think its not beter than sMiui.
I use xiaomi.eu version which doesn't lock bootloader. Everything works well...somewhat. Back camera got downgraded features (only 720p max?), front camera can still record 1080p. Battery life, SoT and RAM consumption are similar to 6.5.26. I enable the battery saver, though. Plus only some apps are allowed for full background processing. I'm sticking with it, next updates should be better.
I'm using MIUI8 for nearly 24 hours now and I'm quite satisfied. Have not recognized heavy bugs (not even small ones).
The battery life seems to be similar to MIUI7 builds and worse than CM13.1 from TeamSuperluminal, which I used over the past few months.
I've been using first version of MIUI 8 from the first day it came out, on xiaomi.eu and I haven't got any issue what so ever. I find it works well, no bugs on my type of use so far. The thing is I don't find a significant change over Miui7... Do you guys? Generally speaking. There are a few functions on sharing that are diferent but it isnt something you should worrie about to hurry up updating.
My suggestion for everyone is that if you are in Miui7 (whatever stable or dev version) dont feel you are loosing something without having version 8... it is almost an appearance thing only changes. I'm not dev so i dont actually know what changes in the inside code and stuff, just speaking over a consumer and tester view.
If there is some devs who can tell what important changes are made over I would appreciate.
miui 8 6.6.23 beta. full wifi usage

what i feel is xiaomi added new theme to MIUI 7 and brand it as MIUI 8.
Nothing significant, everything same as MIUI 7.
totally agreed, i had some overheating and touch issues btw
I'll wait Miui8 on android MM for Mi4c before installing that...
Hi! Please help me out
I will receive my new Mi 4c with the Bootloader Unlocked from the re seller , Rooted and with Multi language ROM.
Do I have to unlock the bootloader with the official method (which means flashing Cina Dev ROM -to re lock the bootloader- and go on with the Xiaomi's code procedure..) or it is possible to get all things done by choosing an unofficial weekly miui.eu international ROM and install it normally from the Updater app as soon I get my device but also be able to update it every week via Updater without issues?
My problem with flashing is that I don't have my laptop and the one I have now runs win xp.
If your MI4C is rooted you can install Flashify. With Flashify you can flash TWRP. Then you can download any desired rom and install that from TWRP.
No need for a computer.... unless you brick your phone at some point.

First, just see first if you can access to the recovery rebooting with Vol button pushed.
What's your rom version.
Hi! it's been a while since I made this post and I've changed the MI4C with a Mi4... thanks anyway! Best!
Hey Guys, I have been strolling through different ROMs for GT 18262, but i dont know if they are totally stable or not, so i thought i would create this thread where all this info could be there.
I wnat to know whether there is a rom which fullfills this requirements:
1. Stable
2. Everything works including Camera.
3. Support for swap.
4. Possibly a higher Android Version than stock rom and not just themed.
Maybe I am asking too much, but i have Cosmic Rom with its final version flashed but i have this problem that the ROM would just stop responding and even after restarting i cant even unlock screen cause possible screen wouldn't respond. I tried many others like Monster Rom build 3, but the microphone didnt work when calling but worked on WhatsApp Call(lol). So please help me

M using cm11....and its best stable and customized rom ...u can later change the theme to lollipop and thats really good......imrunning this rom from over 5 months and have not a found a single bug
I already tried it, but apps like Gmail would crash when i open any email or even opinion rewards would just force close itself. Even some parts of Hike Messenger dont seems to work on it.
Any developer thinking to port Oreo Go Edition for this device! it will be a big help for this device.
Some bugs

Can some developers of this Device can come together and put forward a ROM which has most of things stable, uses latests Oreo GO edition will be a last salute for this Samsung Device. If someone can guide me in porting or building rom, I am ready to do it.
