Just wondering if anyone has made a nougat rom compatible with 925w8 that has the bare minimum. Just great for talk, text, and internet experience. Erase all the other apps that come with the ROM to create space and better battery life.

I'm looking for a rom that's debloated and optimized. I HATE lag. I'd prefer a gingerbread rom if any of them work properly. I also happen to like the default Charge interface (touchwiz?) quite well, although I've never used the default gingerbread interface.
Suggestions? Mainly what I'm looking for is speed, stability, and a good UI. Something that would help as well is if the rom is good at increasing battery life. Battery life is my only real gripe with this phone. I've made decent use of tasker to shut down gps, bluetooth amongst other things to increase it, but it still pales to my old bb phones possible 2.5 days with low use. While battery life is my main gripe, I'd take extra speed more than anything else. I hate waiting for things to load.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

No suggestions? I just want what is effectively the exact same phone, just debloated and preferably optimized.
I was wondering about the pros and cons of each. For example, right now I'm running MIUI, and it has the best experience of any rom I've used (I've been using MIUI since GB on my N1 - only recently upgraded to the GSIII). But, I really like the way Milk Music looks, and I can only get that particular app if I'm running a near-stock touchwiz based rom.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the best of both worlds? Or if I should stay away from stock entirely, or if there are any other benefits I'm missing!
Hello !
I believe this is one of the hardest question to reply ever "stock or aosp/aokp/miui".
For me, everything depends on what you want to do with your phone. Exellent battery life would be stock rom, but more smoothness would be cm, for exemple.

It's mostly about appearance and functionality for me. I'm pretty good on battery life, and have a battery backup if needed. I love how clean MIUI looks. It's always looked obsessively clean, and I love it for that. It also lets me arrange my status bar into the iOS style (I like the battery on one side, signal on the other - clock in the middle).
MIUI with Aviate as my launcher seems to work wonders, and MIUI has a lot of great features - built in data monitor, app and trash cleaners, just a lot of great things to keep the phone running smooth.
But I want the samsung support as well. I like a lot of the touchwiz stuff (minus the actual launcher), and I enjoy having my data backed up with them (MIUI backs up my data, but not all of it, really). And I am absurdly interested in the Milk Music app. But when you look at stock/near-stock touchwiz based roms that have the samsung support and the camera app, and the like, you're stuck with the stock UI as well. Which is nice, mind you - leaps and bounds better than it was in previous versions, but still leaps and bounds behind the work that MIUI has done to give it the smooth feel I've come to expect.
If only there was a way to get the Samsung Framework on MIUI, I think all my problems would be solved.
I never tried MIUI, because I don't really fancy the iOS style..
I think, the perfect rom would be a mix of CM, stock rom, and maybe MIUI too, but I believe that's impossible to make.. :/
Stock:
Pros:Usually completely stable,Full warranty,Apps is usually better designed/has more features,Can use official updates easily,More Secure(Without root of course)Usually looks better(my opinion)
Cons:
(may be a bit slow)
Inefficient
Unrooted
Bootloader may be locked
High ram usage
Custom
Pros:
Usually faster than stock
Usually pre-rooted
More efficient
Usually quicker update timeframe
Less space is used
Easier to install certain apps
Cons:
Loss of warranty
Unstable
Errors
Insecure(rooted)
Apps are more plain (less features/looks)
Hi everyone,
I'm currently ussing the back-to-n00t v9 ROM (KitKat) together with Boeffla Kernel for a pretty long time. It was good at the beginning, although the rom had a few bugs (like the mobile data button not working sometimes and roaming mode disabling when disabling data causing roaming warnings). But for some time already, I'm getting kinda frustrated. The phone likes to lag sometimes, like when going out of some app to the home screen and everything loads again causing a terrible lag, or all the apps close in the background. Also many times when I want to unlock the phone I have to wait a few seconds because nothing works (can't draw the pattern). I'm looking for some simple ROM (not any Marshmallow stuff etc, I want to maintain stability and performance). I'd love to get some better performance, without lagging and having problems with the keyboard (like it's not showing because of low RAM or stuff like that). I'd also like to get some good battery life althought this isn't that of a priority because I have 2 batteries.
I don't want to flash Cyanogenmod because I want to keep the TouchWiz camera and stuff.
Which ROM would you suggest me? I saw some website recommending Revolutionary S5, although I don't like the idea of trying to make an old phone like the some new model, they claim it's super smooth and optimised. Is that true? I don't want to waste any more RAM because of some ****ty features from S5 that I'll never use.
Thanks in advance! Hope you can help me.
same here, I use RR + boeffla but it is sucking one and half battery a day, inactivity battery consume is the same as Whatsapp I use a lot, it seems to be active when not active.
Same problem with Lineage 14.1
Best ROM for me was a stock rooted ROM with unnecessary apps disabled.
What's your way to make your device be truly yours?
Me personally,
I am a power user and i don't really care about battery life much (1.5 days of battery life is enough for me), and i love to try out custom roms. I always loved the look and feel of pixel devices, especially the product sans font.
So my way of setting up my device is to install a font pack and a custom kernel.
I had mostly used the AOSCP Rom since it first came out, but recently the Liquid Remix rom is being my daily driver.
So my way to flash things is-
Liquid remix rom>Product sans font>Stormguard kernel
That does my job. and later on i install some apps like modded google cam and pixel 2 launcher and the Viper module from magisk for my sound mod..
So at the end of the day i have a device with super stock pixel look and full of raw performance.:victory:
But whats your way of doing things? Do you love stock miui or run a customised version of it? or are you a part of the modding community?
I like a balanced phone. Neither biased towards RAW performance nor too power saving.
What I find is you can increase performance and decrease battery consumption at the same time when you minimise the amount of automation in your system. Say for example an auto sync service which requires it own service to be running in the background, it's not much savings but when a considerable number of automations are reduced your phone might run smooth even on the powersave governor. I analyse evey automated process be it kernel related like Touch boost, a system automation like updates checking, an app automation like google sync and see if it is really necessary for me. Only the once I use and need get to run.
This is mostly why I root my phone in the first place. I want my phone's power where and when I need it. But never do I compromise on performance too, after all we're in the 21st century.
I use a well stable custom ROM( which most of times happens to be Lineage) topped with a well balanced kernel and of course Magisk. Once booted there's a lot of stuff I do to achieve that butter smooth power friendly UI.

You should do compare and contrast on all available roms, that is stable enough to be used as daily driver. We all don't have the same usage in daily lives, we have different apps, which is depends on the user, different battery/performance mods, kernels, power management, etc. Just try LOS, Pixel Experience, etc. and record your power usage and compare it to all and you can determine yourself which one of them is good for you.
Btw. I'm using stock MIUI cuz I don't have problems installing custom kernel, battery mods, and other tweaks.
ROM has little to do in battery life (I agree, a few ROM specific features consume more battery like AOD). It's more Kernel related.
To my experience, stock miui ROM is always the best in terms of smoothness, fluidity and stability. If you feel the battery life is not that good, just grab a custom kernel and flash it through TWRP. You can also debloat useless System apps in order to have better RAM management.
I haven't tested everything, but stock kernel and stock ROM works the best for me. Most stable, best performance, smoothest, best battery(I get 10HRs of SOT). You should re-calibrate battery if you have been flashing many different ROMS.
Thanks guys i am on stock stable miui with sphinx kernel i am happy with it but i want to to try stock aosp that why i ask
For custom rom, you can try crdroid. For me so far thisbrom with default kernel has great battery backup. Manage to get 8h ++ sot starting from 90% battery. I will test more with next battery cycle. Normal usage social media, youtube and so far not try with pubg yet
