[Q] CM Lockscreen stopped - Unfixable.

Tried everything which is around forums. Tried reflashing the stuff from here *link removed due to lack of 10 posts, original cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip* as well. I was browsing playstore and switched to an other app, all of sudden Lockscreen has stopped msg appeared and that was the end of the movie. Tried to do a full wipe I couldn't get it any further than even making it worse when the phone starts now it will say Welcome to CyanogenMod I have the ability to pass step or two and it freezes again > restart. And all over again the same process. I have the phone since few days it's awesome really, but there are several OS bugs which are just ... awful. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help!

Firstly welcome to the forums, secondly MOST things are fixable.
Many people - me included - have had the same issue with CM Lockscreen and have had success with this. In a nutshell...download the NEVER SETTLE.zip file and by using fastboot do the following:
fastboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persit.img
But a more detailed explanation is available in the above thread.

Thanks for your reply. I managed to get around it by getting a custom ROM and installing it. With the first I choosed I got same looping error but saying AudioFX stopped. Switched to this one *can't post links yet*: [ROM] [4.4.4] [BACON] Mahdi-Rom 2.8 [10/25] - Final Release
And it works great. But it seems that the performance went down or atleast antutu says so. Since I really like the idea of having as powerful as possible device, could you recommend me the lightest possible ROM available which provides the best performance ? Thanks in advance! Also thank you for the reply, if the problem appears again (hopefully not, that was a pain in the..) I will give it a shot and have it in mind in future

Sure no problem, to be honest i have only tried CM11s , CM11 Nightlies and ColorOS on my device so far and CM11S was by far the best performing i.t.o AnTuTu score, and i stuck with it (CM11S) i unfortunately cant comment on the other roms out there. But i would think that CM11 Nightlies are as close to the lightest you'd get.

Advice Please regarding Marshmallow on Note 3

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.

Recommendations/Reviews
Hey!
I recently got an S8 (exynos) with Oreo that i have now rooted using magisk and TWRP.
I'm looking at custom roms but its hard to find the right one.
By browsing through threads here at XDA i usually just see the problems people are having, rather than positive experiences. (Since you are more likely to write when you actually have a question or need help..)
If anyone is using any custom rom now on S8 based on Oreo, please share your positive experiences and let us hear the downsides as well!
I'm mostly looking for a way to completely rid my phone of all bloatware, trackers and so on. I basically just want an empty OS with the normal apps for calling (contact book for example), and google play so i can find new apps there if i want to.
Facebook, gmail, google, samsung apps i would prefer to never see in my phone.
If the rom can be installed using TWRP thats the best for me since that's all i know so far.
Thanks for any tips you might have!

Most of the Samsung apps have been taken out, and replaced with Google alternatives. What you're left with is a noticeably faster and smoother experience. My battery performance has improved also. Well worth checking out if you want a 'Barebones' 'Google like' offering.

Alright! Great stuff thanks for the tip!
I installed renovate ice on my s8 this weekend and so far its perfect for me. I was able to remove basically every single app from samsung and google, leaving me with what feels like a really clean phone.
So far i have not encountered any single issue or problem with the ROM. I will post here if i do or if i decide to try another one in the future.

Is this compatible with G955N?

If you mean renovate ice then yes. Im using it on my s8.

I've been using CarHDRom for many years.
Many possibilities to customize the Rom and 1A support!

I'm looking to replace my stock rom on exynos. One that could improve battery life.
Still few options (comparing to Snapdragon versions), sadly.

Hey man, how is your experience so far with renovate ice? Any noticeable issue with it? I'm considering using this rom but im seeking for advices first. Thanks

[Q] Experience with LOS-legacy ROMs?

Hi everybody,
I recently got an S6 edge in my hands and wanted to flash Lineage OS (as I'm already familiar to it). I found this site:
https://www.los-legacy.de/
Does anybody know if the ROM developpers are known and if the ROMs are as safe and secure as the official builds were? I would really appreciate an experience report as I am still very insecure about those ROMs.

all custom roms here have three big bugs and that's echo on call,bad camera and battery drain so if use daily then stay on stock rom or use stock based like marduck or ultimate nougat 3.1 is great too which is based on port from s8

Hi becho, thanks for your information. I wasn't aware that the echo on call bug is in every custom ROM - thats a good advice for me. I'll go for a stock based ROM as you suggested.

My roms are safe because they are created with a private key and not with a test key from lineageos.
The builds I currently use are all MicroG builds.
For s6 I don't give support anymore as I don't own the device anymore.
For normal Rom you will find here
Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development
For unified AOSP type ROMs, kernels and mods., suitable for multiple S6 / S6 Edge versions
forum.xda-developers.com
And yes look at my xda profile there you will find all my builds that I have published.

[ROM][J100H] Samsung J1 ROM collection from Android 4 to 7

hello everyone how are you, this is a rom that I made and not posted outside other than in my own group, maybe friends there are still using the J100H device.
DOWNLOAD IN HERE
Thank you friend

[ROM][7.1.2] Lineage Os 14 SM-J100H [DISCONTINUE]
Thank you Erwin for providing this link. Installed above ROM, 7.1.1., on a SM-J100H with dual sims. The mobile connection was unstable for both sims and kept dropping. This was the case after applying the Fix. When checked About Device under Settings, it says SM-G531H. It appears the ROM is not intended for SM-J100H, please confirm.
Regards,

Hi Erwin,
which of the ROMs would you recommend for
* daily use
* I do not want Google on the phone, thats why I have it now in the first place.
Or would you recommend another ROM from someone else - I found in your link ROMs from kingkobra97 etc...
Thanks for all of your effort that I found on this forum for this device.
Would you mind showing how you did all the custom ROMs (one link would be great)
Thanks!
:good:

Resurrection Remix is the latest and works great barebones, haven't tested any of the ROMS running older ROMS
