Hey! I have Galaxy s4 active, and I like this phone. All is well, except abandoned firmware. I like LOS, so I flashed LOS 19.1 after release and unfortunately stuck with some problems (random reboot once or twice a week, a bit unstable BT, battery eating). So I decide to try most stable (as I think) LOS 16 based on Android Pie. But.. I have same problems ((((
So I need any advice about stable rom, based at least on Android 7 or newer.
The more stable roms for this device are android 4.4 kitkat and android 5 lollipop, though both are now outdated and marshmallow (6) is the minimum api.
This android 5 rom is apparently the most stable and is an official build, bugs are listed in the post:
[ROM][Official Nightly CM12/Unofficial CM12.1][5.0/5.1.1] builds for I9295
OfficialCM12 / Unofficial CM12.1 for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (I9295) Original CM12 by AntaresOne for S4, device tree for Active by spegelius. /* * Your warranty is now void. * * I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, *...
forum.xda-developers.com
All roms for this device have some camera and wifi/bluetooth (restart) bugs.
There are some android 7 builds which seemed ok, but prove to be as buggy as 9 builds.
Is there any reason for me to flash a custom firmware based on Android 4.4 or 5 instead of the official samsung firmware?
some custom roms may be faster, most will have better app support and security updates compared to stock. It's not worth flashing 4 at all, 5 is considerable as it was just recently deprecated. android 6 is the minimum api for most apps at the moment, so flashign a rom on 6 or above would be recommended.
Note that all roms for this device have bugs, any bugs in lineage will most likely be carried onto other roms, unless if that rom is a port.

Alright,
So i've been on my Nexus 4 for the past year and my brother took my SGS,
I'm currently on Jelly Bean and want to know if the upgrade to KitKat has the performance improvements that was claimed with the release.
You know, easier to run on lower mem devices and such.
Also, what must I look out for?
Do I need a special kernel to upgrade before, or update my recovery to some different version, or is there a higher risk of bricking/losing my efs than the usual download/flash? Can I easily downgrade to JB/ICS?
Thanks
Hello!
For me CM11 is faster than 10.1.3 and 10.2, additionally it's more united. Smaller amount of lags, and despite the fact it's nightly, ROM is pretty stable Of course wipe is mandatory, so back up everything.
Buckle up and enjoy CM11 Best regards.
EDIT: Flash any KK kernel if status 7 error.
Hi Roastmeat,
I've been using either cm 10.2 and cm11 on my Galaxy s i9000 and believe me you really will be surprised when updating the phone to Android 4.4 Kitkat (CM11). It really is a big improvement in terms of speed. It will breath new life in your Galaxy S
On highend devices you won't notice such a big increase in speed, but since kitkat was developed to support even more low end devices, the positve effects are noticed even more on "older" devices e.g. the Galaxy S.
Greetings!
My advice: stay away from Android 4.3 ( for example CM10.2) as it is the slowest Android version for our phones. Pick a ROM based on Android 4.2 ( for example CM10.1) or Android 4.4 (for example CM11) . I would suggest Android 4.4 , because our device really feels the benefit from it's optimisations.

Hi all!
In the past we have seen many ROMS which were ported with more or less modifications from the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I just noticed that there are already some 5.0.2 builds for the SGT10.1.
Any chance to also get builds for our SGT8.9?
This would be awesome.
See for further infos:

Unfortunately it seems that the dev community for our beloved SGT 8.9 is a dying breed.
I'm using the SGH-I957 (LTE) variant, but the latest OS I could find was CM (based on Android 4.1.2). If you happen across any 4.2+ ROMs, please send them my way

Hi,
first of all I would like to thank Hennymcc for releasing CM12.1 for the G800F at all.
I was wondering why the latest update is from mid-August, so vital security patches are not included in this ROM.
Is there still an active development in this project?
My wife bought this device a few days ago, and I was really surprised that there does not seem to exist a recent version of CM12.1 for
this (I believe) popular device.
Does anyone have further information regarding this matter?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Cryptoman007
Cm12.1 development is dead i think
because they're working on cm13 now
Not entirely dead, we'll see what happens if and when official Lollipop rolls out...
It is great that he already works on Marshmallow for the G800F, but let's see what the current situation is:
We can choose between stock-4.4.2 from the stone-age or CM12.1 from mid-August 2015.
Of course, CM12.1 is newer, but the most important security fixes are still missing, so currently the G800F cannot be declared as safe.
It would be great if he could release a CM12.1 version (just one) with the current fixes shortly.
When Samsung (if they do it at all...) will release the official Lollipop-ROM, these security fixes will surely be fixed, and there
will be (from the security standpoint) no need for an updated CM12.1 or even CM13, except for the bloatware or when new security issues will arise after that.
K3 Note is a very popular device
and device hardware can support latest android versions also but still,
not even one official custom rom exists for k3 note,
Like CM, AOSP, RESURRECTION REMIX, AICP etc...
where as new redmi note 3 have got soo many official builds for it soo fastly...
why it dont have any official builds for it can any one knows answer for it ??
Hi all, Been a while since I came on here, just wondering what the situation is with the custom roms based off of the official Nougat Samsung rom for the T715? All i can see are lineage roms (which some features like fingerprint don't work) and Resurrection remix/AOSPextended which, again have aspects which don't work ( and haven't been updated in quite some months).
the problem is... everyone want a custom rom but... no one want to learn to make one... =_= that's how the development is less.
