Hi everybody,
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite S7390 like a year ago. It wasn't very fast back then, but now is even worse!
So I came here to ask how I could imrpove performance on my phone?
I already rooted my phone, I even flashed a new ROM, it was the first I found. I already installed Greenify, without Xposed Framework (because it says my phone could get bricked...).
So yeah that's what I've done so far, now I want to know if someone knows better ways (better ROM's,...) to improve the performance: Better ROM, apps, ... everything that could work on my phone.
If anyone knows something, please say so and add what it does, where to get it (link), the disadvantages, if you can't use it with any specific app and if you have tested it with the same phone.
Specifications of my phone:
Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite
Modelnumber: GT-S7390
Android KitKat 4.4.4 (ROM, stock was Jelly Bean)
CyanogenMod 11 (ROM)
Thanks all!
With better apps, ROM, etc. I mean better performance, without any (important) bugs.

Heya guys,
I have rooted my Samsung Note 2 and it is running Stock v4.3, mainly because I wanted to use GREENIFY and Titanium Backup. When I saw one of my friends this weekend, he was amazed that I was still running the StockRom on a rooted phone, and couldn't understand why I haven't installed a CustomROM on it, then persisted to say that the best one to have on my phone would be CYANOGEN Mod, which has tons of features and once I done so, would never want to use the StockRom again?
Now obviously I'm clueless to all the ROM business, so was wondering if someone could fill me in on whether he is talking sense and that I should install a C-Rom, or just stick with Stock v4.3.
Many thanks,
Hi Everyone,
I am seeking some advice regarding our beloved Samsung Galaxy 2. I owed this phone in the past and after testing other devices, I am considering to purchase it again. Please kindly try to answer my questions:
1. I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy and I think the S2 is one of the lightest and thinnest smartphone on the market. Do you have any other devices in mind that could be suitable to my mobility issues?
2. I have purchased a few smartphones online (ebay and amazon) and always had difficulties to find one that is “truly” unlocked. Most of them were entitled as “unlocked” but would not work with my sim card. Do you have any advice on this issue?
2b. Do all S2s have the same processors/ram/features? Do you advise any S2 version in particular or all of them are fine?
3. I am interested in those new voice recognition features such as Ok Google/voice and my guess is that the most efficient and reliable versions of it are present on the latest Android versions such as Lollipop/is there any correlation between Android version and Voice recognition efficiency?
3c. Do you think it would be possible to install Lollipop on a S2 and how?
3d. Would it be a simple and “official” update or will it necessary imply a “jailbreak”? Knowing that I am definitely not familiar with this kind of process, are there accessible and straightforward tutorials for newbies showing how to proceed step-by-step?
3e. Would it slower the S2 to update it with Lollipop or create any other issue//conflict/flaw? If so, until what Android version can I update without slowing the S2?
Many thanks for your kind help!

1. Sorry no idea here.
2. By rooting your phone you could remove the branding and use any sim card
2b. The most common version of galaxy s2 is the international one gt-I9100. Depending on the year of when it was made there could be a slight difference in processor. Older processor need more voltage than the newer ones and might not be able to overclock as much as the newer ones. But if you don't intend to undervolt your phone this is unimportant for you. All of them work with 1.2ghz. Which processor type you'll get is some kind of luck I guess.
Gt-I9100 aside therealso are gt-I9100P and 9100g. I'm not sure but I think they work with same specs as the international one (1, 2 ghz and 1gb ram) but they use other hardware and thus it's not as easy to find custom roms like for the gt I9100 I think.
Furthermore there also is the galaxy s2 at&t version. If I'm right this the t mobile version of this phone. It also has the same specs like the other models (different hardware too) but the difference is this phone has no physical home button, which for me, looks better somehow.
I'd suggest to take the international one gt I9100 or the at&t version.
3. Official android version of the galaxy s2 models is jelly bean 4.1.2 which also is required by Google search and Google now. I assume it doesn't matter rather you have android 4.1.2 or 5 regarding the voice recognition.
3c. At the moment it's not possible to install Lollipop on a S2 but it may be possible in the future. You'll have to root your phone therefore and flash/install a custom rom based on lollipop.
3d. Like already mentioned earlier you'll need to root your phone in order to get past android 4.1.2. Depending on your phone model (2b.) It can be extremely easy or a bit more difficult. I'm just used to the international version gt I9100 which can be rooted with an app via one tap. That aside there are various step by step tutorials, as the galaxy s2 is a very popular phone.
If you'll root your galaxy s2 I highly recommend to Google emmc brick bug before doing so.
3e. All official android versions can become slow after some time, especially because of not removable, pre installed apps. With root you have the possibility to remove those and make your phone faster. If you intend to stay on official firmware you should update to the latest (4.1.2).
Talking about getting slower with higher android version is a bit difficult here. Theoretically with higher android version the phone will get faster....at least that's what Google says.
However as already said the galaxy s2 is stuck on 4.1.2. The only way to get higher are custom roms and those can be slow or fast no matter on which android version they are based.
For example cyanogenmod 10.1.3 is the fastest firmware I've had till now and it's based on Android 4.2.2. Jelly bean. Next there's for example aicp rom based on 4.4.4 KitKat. This version wasn't very fast for me. Another KitKat rom, NeatROM, however was faster than aicp although it has same android version.
It always depends on your personal phone, because each phone (or each galaxy s2 in your case) reacts a bit different to it's firmware and also on the way the developer made their custom roms.
You'll have to find out there

Hi, this is my first post in the Galaxy Grand Quattro forums. I earlier used to be a Bada user and developer. Bada was Samsung's first OS, before it came up with Tizen. I have made many roms for the Samsung Wave 525 too! Due to the less number of Bada users, I have migrated to android, and today I ended up rooting my Galaxy Grand Quattro. Can anyone tell me what can I do after rooting my phone? I mean how can I boost the performance of my phone? Do I need to install any app? Anything of that sort?
I guess you already have recovery. Flash custom roms and scripts ang use what suits you.

You can do pretty much anything ranging from customisation to boosting device performance just make sure to have nandroid backups regularly

Well, I am pretty much ahead now. From tweaking my kernel, to tasker, xposed, i am customising my phone as much as i like
Hello, recently acquired this device, as it has the 4.2 version of android, decided to look for some more current ROM unfortunately not found, I saw that the other models of the Galaxy SIII have Custom ROM, then come here to ask developers to please, to create a Custom ROM, be it 4.4 or 5.0, many users need this help.
Anything yet
C'mon, I have this phone and I can't find any custom rom for it...:crying::crying::crying:
If you have the time, compile the ROM yourself, it is a time consuming process, but you achieve maximum peacefullness with your device. Look on YouTube or google how to do it.
Last time I tried rooting was in 2016/2017 using Super SU but now many years later I want to try to root my phone again. I have Galaxy S21 ( Exynos ) and I was wondering what would be the easiest way that won't cause too much trouble.
What are the pros and cons of rooting a phone in 2021 and are there any dealbreakers like not being able to recieve system updates or banking apps not working at all.
I would also like to know if there are any android 10 based custom ROM's for Galaxy S21 currently?

In order to root you need to unlock your bootloader, which means no system updates. Most apps will still work if you install Magisk (SuperSU equivalent). There are not really any roms yet, but you can see that easily from the rom section of this forum:

Hi,
Since there's no custom ROM for this model, I wanted to try the GSI way.
I've installed TWRP on my S21 (o1s) following this procedure : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-galaxy-s21-exynos.4241869/#post-84592059
Then, I flashed /e/ OS from here : https://images.ecloud.global/dev/treble_arm64_bvN/
However, the phone keeps bootlooping after displaying "This phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security, and you won't be able to install software updates."
I believe I'm missing a step in my installation (something about vbmeta maybe ?). Can anyone help me ? It's my first time dealing with recent Samsung phones (= post-Galaxy S9).
(I've also posted this question here : https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/2006)
