Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for GT i9305

Hello,
I just recently rooted my Samsung GT i9305 and completed a nandroid backup on CWM. I was wondering if I could still use the Paranoid Beta 5 ROM for Samsung GT i9305. I've tried flashing it and gave me Installation Error 7, which basically means that CWM checked the rom and wasn't the right rom for GT i9305. Is there a fix for the Error 7 or should I just get another ROM instead? Any Android L look alternatives? Hazy Rom is one but thats for GT i9300 aswell :/

Yeah! Have you flashed a ROM which appears like Android L? Like Hazy ROM? All of them are for i9300 not for i9305 :/

No, I don't think so, a guy created a hazy rom thread i9305 but he has build issues. I tried to build PA and I also have build issues. :crying:

This may sound naive, but why are developers having such a hard time building ROMS for the the LTE International Version of the GS3 when, compared to the i9300 model, is exactly the same (but of course we have more 1GB more RAM). All the ROMS for the i9305 model are all very dated. Kit Kat is know history, please bring Lollipop to the i9305! Loving material design by the way Good on ya Google!:good

Hahaha, dude. Lollipop came out days ago and it's not even working properly on i9300. Maybe thats why this dev doesn't bring lollipop because it is not finished maybe...
Hope we see Lollipop soon
And I'm very sad about no development for PA, i <3 this ROM :/

Haha! Well I'm impatient! I live in Australia and we're still waiting for the Nexus 6! Have you seen Pac-man rom Kit Kat? Looks pretty neat but I'm just gonna wait out until someone hopefully makes a Rom for our device. I really want Hasty and Paranoid ROMS on my phone though!

Apparently we may get it. Though you can't really know anything when its a company like Samsung.

Yeah I saw pics of PA and I was addicted! But I checked their site and the i9300 was part of their "legacy" program, maintaining Paranoid for i9300 International and US users. Therefore, I doubt they will make one for i9305 since two years is probably the ending time for OS updates, but of course its different for custom ROMS. I still hope that they do develop one though :/ But don't get your hope up.

No dude, we have PA but its abandoned now (latest update: 4.2 beta 1) there's just no one to build it and it seems too complicated for me (I've only built Beanstalk and CM).

Really?! I didn't know that we had PA? But it would make sense when they created the ROM for i9300 that they would make one for the i9305. But that really is a pity. So are there anyone on xda willing to build on PA? As you said, I think there may be building problems with PA so people may be unmotivated to build it.

[Q] Multi-Rom

Greetings, Just was wondering how hard would it be to port multirom to our note 4? and if it were ported could all versions of the note use it as long as they have a snapdragon processor?

let us know when you port it over..

Lol @wase4711
I know the only multirom type of thing for the Note 3 was safestrap....
From what I heard (rumors) that may not be made for the Note 4...which will suck!
I'm sure if you work with the actual Multi-Rom developer, maybe you guys can work on something to port it over.
That will simply be awesome.
For now, I suggest you sit tight and see what happens few months from now. Afterall, in the grand scheme of things...this is still a fairly new device.

god, suddenly an explosion of roms for the note 4...
BTW, the cm remix 2.9 is up and fixed...wow!
custom AOSP kernel too!

Is it as stable as people say it is? How it is in comparison from the unofficial cm beta? Is it as stable as the first nj7 roms that were released shortly after our phone came out? omg

well, it is for me, but as always, just make a nand of your current rom, and try it and see how it is on your phone.
this AOSP roms are coming fast and furious now, so you really have to check it out yourself and see how it is on your phone.
what is awesum about it, is it has a custom kernel, the first one that I have found for any AOSP roms, so it will be interesting to see how that kernel works with other roms!

OxygenOS after custom ROM?

I am considering to install a custom ROM on my OP 3T. I do have one question. Cause I like oxygenOS but I just want to try something else, but when installed am I able to revert back?

Sadly,nowadays custom roms brings more harm than good.

that was a subjective question and this is an inappropriate response
it depends on what you want out of a ROM and what your stock ROM is like. if a stock ROM doesn't suit your needs, sometimes there is an appropriate ROM for you. i have rooted every samsung device i have ever had and improved my experience greatly.
when you find a good developer, custom ROMs can be better. stock is usually most stable

I wonder what you want out from a rom?we are using/talking about OOS and that's suit my needs(It has all that is missing in stock android).
Sorry but Samsung software is garbage.
Midomad said:
As Android is further refined, there are fewer and fewer reasons to use a custom ROM for most users,custom ROMs will always be relevant to entry-level/midrange smartphone users, or those who still use older devices, that aren't receiving official updates from OEMs anymore.

OOS seems to have everything i want in a ROM too.
that being said, i may find features that i want and don't have. my moto has pretty much everything i could want, but updating to a custom 7.1.1 increased the performance of my device so much that i can't imagine going back.
i haven't used any custom ROMs for OP3T yet, but from what i'm reading we have some really good devs and it is worth a shot. for instance, RR offers customization to such granularity that i will try it because that customization leaves me feeling like i actually own the device (basically the opposite of what apple does with their products)

Which ROM for most settings and customizability?

Which ROM should I install if I want the most amount of settings and ways to customize things?
Some additional thoughts...
Does one even need a custom ROM these days, or can most things be changed using "Xposed installer"?
Are there any drawbacks using a custom ROM?

1. RR is a good choice IMO.
2. More features to play with. Themes. More updates.
3. Xposed doesn't exist on Nougat.
4. Nope except not be able to use full stock features. Stability? It depends on the ROMs and the maturity of the Android version.

Oxygen OS apps (but you can get a port version for Camera and Gallery)
Dark UI (but you can flash a ROM supporting Substratum)
...
I don't remember OOS well and since I have a preference for custom ROMs over stock firmware I can't give you many reasons to stay on OOS. If you want to have the latest Android version, some day you will have flash a custom ROM.

I've spent ten minutes trying to figure out which one is the official (or best) version of Resurrection Remix. Can you point me in the right way?
The one in your signature says it has a pirate-icon if you install pirate stuff. And while I may not do that, I still don't like the idea of that.
So which RR would you recommend?

Both versions have this anti piracy measure I think.
I recommend the unofficial builds since I'm using them ?
It has extra features such as delta updates, signature spoofing support,... and the dev is always available to help and answer our questions.

You could have just flashed the ROM days ago, and have decided yourself; instead of waiting for others to dictate what you will or will not like. And just because someone recommends it, doesn't mean you will even like it.

Agreed.

Agreed nicesoni ash has the best build in my opinion and the dev is great and very supportive of the rom and it's users. And there are lots of unofficial builds for nicesonis rom but you only need to install the latest one.

Is there a custom rom for this phone? (PRA-LX1/2/3)

Hi, yesterday i got this awesome device as a gift. But i don't like the Custom OS EMUI, Is there a custom rom for this phone? I have already unlocked this phone and installed TWRP. But i don't know what else to do.

Hi, if you are I would like to give it a try. Vodafone have given me a Pralx1 on contract. It certainly has lots of room for improvement as it has the usual bloated system install and isn't anywhere near as fast as it could be. It is slightly choppy through the menus compared to similar spec phones. How have you got round the problem of Huawei not releasing the code? Or have they released it recently?

Thanks for the reply VP. Well to be honest any improvements would be welcome. As I have the 16gb version and the current OS takes up 2/3rds of that space, which is insane. If its even partially debloated I will use what ever modified rom he throws my way. Fairly nice phone so will be keeping it and hoping for more custom roms to be released in the future if Huawei ever pulls there thumb out regarding there policies of sharing that is!
John

Debloating is easy if you have root, it's the optimisation that is a bit tricky. I've tried to use Kernel Aduitor to try and optimise it from there, but unfortunately I haven't found the best possible combination of settings yet.
How I wish we had RR, PA or Lineage ROMs, but I don't think that all the sources will be released.
In the meantime, Root and Viper4Android are there to satisfy me, though I hope we'll have Xposed for Nougat and a custom kernel in lieu of Custom ROMs..
