i can get this phone around $110 under contract, so i got a few questions about it
1. how the AOSP rom with this phone, is it ok for daily use
if not
2. can viperfx and titanium backup be used in stock rom (rooted of course)
and lastly
3. how was the performance with stock rom vs aosp
hi ! the aosp by Ivan is good, fast and stable.
you can customize the MiUi as u wish, no worries
on aosp the benchmark score lower than the stock rom. both are good , fast, battery lasts for me for 5 hours Screen On-TIme . thats freaking incredible .
My advice, if u want u can buy it, its a beast for this price, but the drawback is the kernel remember : no kernel -> no custom roms !
I didn't try the aosp rom, but i can tell you for sure that that titanium backup is perfectly working with the stock rom, i didn't try viperfx but if it is the type of app that is very complex and it modify many android files, it may not work.
And if you want to try some xposed modules, the normal "xposed installer" itsn't compatible with the miui. You have to download another app call "wsm tool".
I am using viper with MIUI v32 stable since its release. No problem.
The good thing is Viper + Dirac is awesome.

I promised a friend of mine that I will help him get a more stable ROM for his OB because he doesn't know anything about flashing or anything root related really and the stability of the stock ROM is, well, pathetic. I haven't seen any android phone until now which gives random crashes and freezes with a stock ROM.
So, I really need your opinions on the stability of the various custom ROMs that have been developed for the p970. Doesn't matter if they're based on CM.
there is Marvel rom, Zeus rom and many stable ones
but i would advice you go zeus
it's more helpful to tell him why you advice zeus..
i went almost immediately to a custom rom with my OB so i can't realy compare with the stock rom.
Zeus is my favorite, for my daily use it's is very stable.. i haven't got any problems but the only things i use is wifi, 3g, some browsing, sms, calling.. just the usual stuff. i'm not a very active user.
The things i like the most about zeus is the fact he realy improves the phone's ability. without giving in on stability.
With zeus you get great performance increase and stabilty.
I tried CM one time and it gave me nothing but problems.. instability like i had never seen before.. sudden reboots within a few hours.
maybe it's better now but why change something that's realy good, so i will stick to Zeus.
I can't tell you much about other roms because i haven't tried them very long.
if like you said its for your friend who is not really experimental well i would actually advice to flash marvel since its basically stock, but slightly modded, or if you really want to try zeus but want it to be almost foolproof you can try with the v3, i personally used the v3n (had probs with v4 & v5 and went back to v3) for the longest of time w/o any or with the least issues, prada/ supressed rom is also good but bluetooth is an issue (i think) delphin ive not tried...miui i havent tired it for very long so cant say much... there was gabwerkz echelon but for now its been TD, sapphire have not tired it long enough to comment much, wont recommend cm for now as i believe it would require quite abit of tinkering around....
or if you dont mind using froyo.... then nova is prolly the best best for most stable
but then again this is just my opinion.....
Or cook one on your own, or just flash the software available for you, then root it, take titanium backup, uninstall all the crap you dont need, maybe add a cust kernel of sergey, make/take a custom theme, another launcher, add another lockscreen and you already have your own custom ROM.
Have fun

SUPRESSED is a fully functional 100% working 135 MB ROM. no Bluetooth or any problems. very close to stock albeit without the bloatware.
and of the PRADA ROM port, i have fixed the BLUETOOTH to make it fully functional.
just need sometime to upload the ROM.
and SAPPHIRE ROM is also 100% problem free.
however, my PERSONAL fav is Zeus. it's a great one.
Hee sorry abt that bro.....
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
I would personally suggest you go with Zeus over Marvel, Both are great ROMs ofcourse ,however i had more available ram which could give us an edge when trying to play games..and the thing tat i liked abt Marvel is that it is totally custamizable
Thanks a lot for your feedback guys!
hiHIhi
There's a lot of ROM for you to choose... i guess all of the replied above made you some choice, for me i recommend you the Zeus if u want OC, gaming and better performance, I personally choose Marvel is because a lot of customization to be made, include various boot animation, launchers and widget to decide which to install =)
For stability choose zeus
Wanna do a lot of mod choose psycho36's selfkang8 + huexxx 4.1 kernel
I did use CM7.2 date 4.21 for a day and it seem it work better at night, when I don't use it for call but whenever a call is coming through it will just restart itself.
Well I ve been trying every rom, and i have decided that marvel and zeus are the best ones, i d recomend you to try both
Hello!
I just wanna ask which rom is for now most stable and fast for I9000 , because im selling my phone and i wanna that works perfect when other user buy it.
Highly recommended: Unofficial SuperNexus 2 Rom by Dev Aways. Super fast, smooth, and stable, and consumes the least battery. You can find it in i9000 Development Forum.
Add Power Toggles from Play Store to make the Rom complete (well, almost, depending on each user's liking).
Why not just go back to stock?
Thanks . I install SuperNexus 2 Rom and its very good rom
Yes I think you should just flash stock.
I would flash Stock 2.3.6 and root it for them.. depending on where you sell it
cm 10
Dont use stock. I agree with the ones above about supernexus. Maybe slim bean too since its so small.
Minimal is better to showcase speed and the storage capabilities.
Just wondering what roms/kernals people are currently running on their phones.
What have you tried? what have you reverted back too? whats your favorite daily rom?
Myself im currently just rooted, I am looking to unlock the bootloader this week.
Currently stock. When i get some time willing to try miui
( see my signature, kernel/firmware are all stock, no 3rd party recovery )
I currently have a stock kitkat rom with multiple xposed tweaks to get it running beautifully. I have installed Miui v6 and backed it up but I am not happy with a few things in it and a few xposed mods aren't working too well with it either. There still needs to be some work done because there are a couple bugs in it.
I will download and install SlimRom 5.1 and move to lollipop when I can next get to a decent internet connection because its 1.7gb and that will take me days to download on my current connection! But at the moment I am very happy with the performance, battery life and general look of this kitkat version I'm running.
Well i didn't unlock the bootloader. I installed this instead: ULTIMUS v1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d58xx-ultimus-rom-v1-beta-23-1-1-28-t3133368
Everything seems good so far will test the battery life over this weekend. Glad I can now put most apps to sd stock, and I put whatsapp on sd with link2sd (it gets out of hand with internal pics and video storage)
I'm keeping an eye on the miui rom, i haven't used it for years thought i remember it being the best one i tried for battery life on my motorolla defy all those years ago.
My phone went mad and downloaded 6.80gb stuff from online wasting my this month data package so i decided to update newest Chroma (about year old) to 7.1.1 stock rom + TWRP recovery + Franco kernel. As usually that felt like downgrade.
- Battery not shown as percentage
- Camera sound
- No dark/black theme
Many other issues cames too even i have used phone like 30min so i thought no point change settings more than that. I dont understand how hard can it be google to even try. I first time used android when it was something like 2.2.2 and still wondering same issues what i did then. I went from iPhone 2g to android and still miss what apple had by then and what android does not have even now but no can do.
I am not heavy user of my phone. I just want basic things to work. Is there some custom rom which is like chroma. I liked how chroma was like allmost stock rom but with couple of custom settings but its no longer continued so is there any rom which have taken it spot?
Wow, you went from a custom ROM to stock and you are missing features? Who would've guessed that?!?!
Sorry for the sarcasm lol. Flash literally any custom ROM and you should have those features. Most, if not all, N ROMs have Substratum/OMS which will allow for dark themes. Battery percentage should also be included in every ROM. Camera sound should be in most ROMs. As for me I'm still on Resurrection Remix M + xposed framework, which in my opinion has the most customization out of any possible Nexus 6 setup in the world.
I would suggest Pure Nexus to you which in my opinion is the closest to Chroma. But make a Nandroid backup and flash a few until you see what you like. Also checkout this YouTube channel which is amazing. @glockman4519 does awesome ROM overview videos if you want to get a feeler for something before flashing it.

Do you refer to the camera shutter sound? If yes, you can't remove the sound on latest stock camera app...
I go with pure Nexus. Thanks for tip. I dont understand most of custom roms which are allways full of bugs. I never understanded either why there is need for over 10 diffrent rom for one device. Developers should work together and there would be only couple of very good roms to choose from but i know its hard people to work together so aint gonna happen
Running Pure Nexus on my wife's Shamu and on my angler. You shouldn't be disappointed. Just as you, i like simple cosmetic tweaks, dark themes, and it does the job. :good:
Resurrection Remix, @Neo style is my current dd. Every customization you could ever want is in there, but there are many great ROMs. PN is one that if you came from Chroma, you'll like. Nitrogen is good, et al. Just read the threads and give them a shot

Sounds to me that you are going to like Pure Nexus since it has that Stock look and feel you want but with some extra and PN has extras.
The nice thing is you can pick and choose what features you want to run so you are in controle.
The rom does not come rooted because @BeansTown106 has decided that too many users are looking to pass the Safety Net Check for apps like Google Pay and some others that require your device be unaltered from stock. But if you want to run Substratum, you can either flash Chainfire's SuperSu sr3 v2.79 (or any systems suoerSu) or even flash Magisk Systems Root (I think it is up to v10 now) and that will allow for theming with Substratum.
That should get you pretty close, of not better than you g had with Chroma. PN is one of the most stable N roms out for the Nexus devices that I know. Another great rom would be SiX rom... But that is a whole nother story : )
I´ve been using Pure Nexus two days now. It seems usable but i dont know is it the 7.1.1 or the franco kernel or something like that but im having performance issues. Even clash of clans in own city does not work smoothly. Also camera shutter sound cannot be disabled. Otherwise i think all works as supposed to. When i installed rom i did clean install. I formated whole device including internal memory. Then i installed Pure nexus 7.1.1 + Full dynamic gapps + Franco newest kernel + Supersu
Anyone know whats the best kernel or do i just have to wait for updates on both rom and kernel?
EDIT: i will be now on pure nexus thread. Thanks for help.
@HTC Tytn user 188
The camera shutter sound can't be disabled with stock camera on 7.x Roms.
For performance issues, maybe try asking in The Rom/Kernel thread.
A combination you should test:
Crdroid rom, elementalx kernel, crystal tronik dark 12 substratum theme and latest beta nova launcher
gives me a lot of customizations, dark+blue look and good battery/performance
Works solid for me !
Hi i am just wondering if anyone here can give me there opinion on best custom rom? I basically want it to be as fast as possible with the longest battery life possible. I am super use to android 6.01 and dont mind having same user interface like standard s5. I still would like NFC and GPS to work along with all google apps. I have the SM-G900I model. Not sure if if my computer is a problem but i have a super old laptop from 2007. It has a 1.7ghz celeron cpu and i'm running windows 7 on it.
The best rom is rom based on stock rom like xtrestolite. Good batterie very smooth its the best of the best for me Now im testing NEMESIS_REBORN V 5.6. Its okii
Debloated, Xposed and rooted Stock!

Best choice for the S5 is a stock based MM ROM, any debloated version with root and Boeffla kernel in my opinion. So you make the best experience and all things work exactly as they should - best camera and audio functions, fast and smooth working and a long battery life. I've tested so much ROMs on it and I always came back to 6.0.1. It's of little use to me to have the latest version of Android when I constantly have to deal with errors and notice that this phone is simply overloaded with it.

Hi, I plan to install the rom xtrestolite that you mention, but I have a doubt, the g900fd model does not appear, will there be any problem in installing the g900f model?, I would greatly appreciate your answer.
I am currently using the official stock rom 6.0.1, but I don't like the application overload that the phone brings

The latest xtestrolite ROM was only for the G900H (Exynos). If you are seaching for a useless and debloated stock ROM for the G900F, try to flash the Alexandr ROM v5.9, see here. Flash the Boeffla kernel 2.5, choose CPU governor "smartmax". This kernel and its configuration tool you found in the latest posts in the very long thread about this ROM, posted by me.
