Recently there's been a lot of development for the Note 5 and I'm happy that there is but most if not ALL roms out now have the Grace UX update where there are no UI issues but there are other issues which I had found in each ROM, battery life is not as good as Note 5 based roms, VR (which I use a lot) either does not work on some ROMs or works but either lags/reorients itself every 30 seconds.
I reckon I should just stay on stock as everything would be stable and I'll just disable the bloatware (Office Apps, Skype, etc), and root and have the same functions as the Grace UX roms. My one question is will Xposed work on a stock rooted ROM?
You will need to use a modified zip installer by wanam to get xposed working on stock. Just flash it through twrp. Instructions and downloads are at the main xposed thread ?

Hey guys,
I know that this kind of thread is not allowed here, but I really need your help.
My girlfriend has an i8190, stock (with Vodafone Portugal's firmware), but now the phone is getting really slow, and with some annoying bugs (sometimes the status bar stops working).
So I was thinking of installing a custom ROM on her phone. But the thing is... Right now, I'm with her only at weekends, so I can't install a custom ROM with bugs, lots of random reboots, etc.
My question is: should I install a custom ROM, or is it better to reinstall the stock ROM (maybe the debloated version)?
Thanks!
I'm not sure about that model, if it has NFC it won't work on any custom rom Samsung never released the driver, everything else is working at least for me I use pac rom because of customization but I would recommend Omni Rom or Cyanogenmod 11 because of stability in pac rom I have a bug that connects/disconnects the phone while plugged to the PC, and I haven't had reboots with custom rom in months,I prefer custom instead of stock mainly because I had reboots in stock and lag
after rooting and installing ux grace rom, S HEALTH was unable to open....saying knox was triggered. I installed xposed framework and ran wanam on it and still no go on newest version...while the older versions work. non of the new ones do..anything above 5.0 will not work??? anybody know how to get it working with the newest version? thanks

I have found a fast rom for the 2012 N7, I went through CM12.1, Omnirom 5.1.1 and 4.4.4, Lineage 14.1, RR 5.8.2, but none of these were good, with or without custom kernals or parrot mod. The best rom I've ran (and am currently running) is stock 4.1.2 with no mods (unless you count root). Happy flashing guys, and frankly, if you don't want to update your hardware, just downgrade your software. I also tried stock 4.3, 4.4.4, and 5.1.1, 4.1.2 is the best by far. It took an hour to settle but when it did, it was lightning compared to the others.
Also no, I tried CM 10, it's somehow slower than stock 4.1.2

Before buying my 2012 N7 3G (I bought it some months ago) I've read the same on some forum. I use this rom base on 7.1.2 and it is acceptable for me.
I believe some apps/versions are not compatible with 4.1.2 by now, so it may require a bit of digging for apks no?
What I do notice, is that if you want a fast tablet you have to carefully choose your apps (and maybe versions) due to ram consumption. From example as an app for e-reader: Kindle (127mb ram) vs fbreader (27mb ram).
Since you had all the work trying roms I guess you may have choosing apps. Do you have any recommendation?
So far I can tell some apps that I believe are the best/lightest that I use:
k9 email material
xodo pdf
nova launcher
opera beta (may not be the lightest, but it has facebook notifications and messenger notifications so minus two apps I need)
greenify
amaze file explorer
hope to ear from you, right now I am in need of a good keyboard (I am a fan of swiftkey, but it seems somehow slow in my Nexus 7 3G with 7.1.2)
Hello everybody, sometimes, I flash my legendary Nexus 5, and test roms con Multirom forma ser their stability only, and think... Which ROMs are functional with pseudo kernel (Boot inject) from Multirom?
Based on my experiences says the following:
If you use the bootpatches for KitKat, you've problems with more of two Roms (Excluded the "Internal" *ROM base where you have been installed Multirom*); and should be reinstall it.
If you use bootpatches for Lollipop, all your Roms have battery drains and some errores for read files allocated in another Roms.
If you use bootpatches for Marshmallow, al works "perfecty", less when you try install another ROM based on MM.
Now:
Compatibility:
Multirom is Compatible with Stock Kernels only, FrancoKernel, Experience Kernel and others haven't a bootpatch for support that TWRP version.
All Roms based on KitKat, Stock, CAF and Cyanogenmod, included Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch and Firefox OS.
All Roms based on Lollipop that don't use FrancoKernel by default.
Almost all Marshmallow Roms (Some roms doesn't boot on Multirom), esencially Cyanogenmod based Roms.
Almost all Nougat Roms (LineageOS and "forkeds" Included), in Hammerhead CAF, non-CAF bases Roms, works too; CAF based Roms on Normal Nexus 5, and some based on Aosp, "Developer Options" doesn't works (Use Android Terminal for enable that options).
Oreo 8.0 Roms (Not Aosp Based) works only.
The Kernel and Bootloader update (I guess), don't leave that 8.1 Roms works on Multirom, the logic reason really IDK.
With supported Roms, sometimes "Developer Options" doesn't work; other times, SystemUI has Stopped is the reason (Included LineageOS 15.1 from @P4Block), but, in general, works without many problemas.
hello i have a serious question, so if i have 2 roms, and root and also flash xposed on my primary does that mean that my second rom will automatically have xposed aswell or is it up to me to decide whether i want to have it on secondary aswell, because i want to have my primary one with root and xposed but my secondary i want without root or xposed, so is that possible please?

Is possible.
Root Bridge (SuperSU or Magisk) and Xposed only works on the Rom that you choose for install it.
In my case, I'm using Kitkat (With root, but without Xposed), and Nougat (With root and Xposed).
Hello, I'm wondering if there's any app or custom rom that supports or allows the spen to have the same or almost the same utilities that it has in the stock rom.
This is because I'm not sure if its better to update the phone to the latest android version with a custom rom without spen utilities or keep the current stock rom with the spen utilities.
Thanks and great day.
yes they are - try to read about on the snapdragon and exynos forums - there are roms which support some functions.
the app(s) are not included in the rom, you need to dig in xda
