Hi All
I Was thinking of getting me a s6 edge, but i am now shocked to see that small amount of custom Roms.
Why is that??
Regards Ken.
The exynos platform is not open, so the only roms available are thr stock based one... A port of lineage is in development, but really slow, and only one is working on it
Thx for the answer.. did not know that about exynos.

I am using Note 3 LTE for 18 month , it has many active Custom ROM thread.
(Yes I am flashaholic user.)
Now, I am looking to buy new cellphone.
The S6 Edge look very impressive, but I found slow growing in the thread in Development section.
Does it cause by Exynos chip ? or What do you think?
yes true..but since 5.1.1 don't let us deodex and yes more phones are effected from this..we have to wait..for updating the process
Hello guys,
I came from a nexus 6P. so I got used to the stock experience of Android which was AMAZING, I went through the forums and i found the CM13 project, and it seems like it's not going anywhere , and a Paranoid Android which was fake, so the question is, Are we ever getting a reliable AOSP based ROM or should i go back to the nexus 6p ? :laugh:
Lol
Im already 1 year waiting for something like that. Only miui8 is optional now.

Not a chance. Exynos is too close sourced
I recently smashed up my S4 Mini. I was going to repair it, but it seems for not much more cost I could get an S5 Mini or Alpha.
I have been happy running CyanogenMod 11 for several years now; very stable. Reading here, looks like I might not get the same stability from S5 Mini or Alpha though -- given the choice, should I upgrade or stay with the S4 Mini?
Small screen and changeable battery are important to me, as is running a fairly 'open' ROM with PrivacyGuard and some other features I got from CyanogenMod 11. Nothing too experimental though, as I still need to reliably use the phone day-to-day for work etc.
Thanks -- Mark
Alpha has far more better hardware specification (both exynos and qualcom variants) than S5 Mini. I'm using Alpha with exynos and it's a really solid phone but Cyanogen based ROMs aren't working good enough for me to use them day-to-day, in the other hand firmware based ROMs like EpsilRom are working great so if you can live with it than it's worth taking. As far as I know Snapdragon version has no problem with Cyanogenmod but I heard that its CPU is not as fast as exynos one (but it's still the same chip that is in S5). Exynos variant is G850F and Snapdagon is G850W. The only advantages for S5 Mini for me are that it's waterproof and it has micro SD card slot.
Thanks -- very useful.
Can you tell me more of what you mean by "firmware based ROM"? I'm guessing you might mean they are modified versions of the stock ROM, rather than being a compile from source code?
I'll need to look into this situation with variants Exynos vs. Qualcom variants, and which variants are the one on the second hand market here (I'm in the UK)

Yes I meant modified version of the stock ROM, I'm using this one right now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/development/rom-epsilrom-future-t3311333
Exynos variant is like default for Europe so it would be easier to get, and be carefull with these variants because there are few exynos versions(for example G850F and G850K) and few with snapdragon (G850W, G850A)
In theory if g850a was fully unlocked, this forum would be very active :/
Both @kyasu and @modpunk develop LOS 13/14.1.
Definitely if you are choosing from s5mini and ALPHA. Then ALPHA. The S5 mini is compared to Alpha very ****ty build. Plasticky and etc .. Alpha si more premium feel. And performance.
Dear Friends,
I know this is a odd question but i would like to know if its possible to port samsung rom to our beloved RN4X, if its possible we can assemble a team to built it from the scratch.
Thank You,
If you want to have Bixby the answer is no

As of now, there are no samsung phones with a snapdragon 625 chipset, so porting the rom can be a bit tough, or maybe impossible especially considering that samsung never releases the source code of their touch wiz os.

Don't care about Bixby, just the whole rom with looks, touchwiz and everything.

Ohhhh... i see... i thought if it was possible we could work together as community on it.
Hello guys.
Does everyone here have their Exynos S9 and S9+ with costum ROM? I want to get an S9+ but I really want to know more about the ROMs. The best ROM for me seems to be the one by ExyKings and so far it doesn't seem to have any bugs.
The thing is.. Do we lose/break any features that come with the stock ROM if we flash a stock based costum ROM?
I wanted to go with lineage but some camera features will be gone, Iris sensor won't work, stereo speakers wont be so good and etc....
Also is the performance of the ExyKings ROM much better than Stock or will the difference be more noticeable on Stock vs Lineage?
I'm making the jump from a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML with LineageOS14, much better than stock Asus ROM.
Thanks for your help

Most developers list the features you will lose after installing their ROM. Typically those features are Knox, Secure Fokder, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health and any warranty you may have remaining.
