Resurrect slow Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9152 using lightweight Android OS - Samsung Galaxy Mega

I have an old Galaxy Mega 5.8 I9152 that I haven't used for a while but I use it when I go overseas so I dont have to take my current phone which is a Nexus 6P. But over the years the Galaxy has become really sluggish. So it is possible to install a really lightweight barebones Android like Nexus? It doesnt have to be the latest Android because I will be using it just to make calls and messaging so I need the bare minimum.

[Q] Use galaxy s3 as a Note 2

everyone, this is what leads me to: our phone (gs3) with very little difference with Note2, I was wondering if it was possible to use it with the apk note2 namely S-Note. I use very often a capacitive stylus with my s3 and I would like to go further with. I am currently in JB with my GS3. I tried to fonctioner S-Note Version ICS but the application does not start at all.
Is there a project porting the ROM S3 S2?? Or is there a solution to run SNOTE? as well as the new Note 2 on S3?
Thank you in advance.
s note was on the gs3 when it first came out, can't remember when they removed it tbh

Ubuntu for Galaxy S5?

Will there be a version of the Ubuntu OS for any version of the Galaxy S5? I would like to see a version of Ubuntu for it. I, personally, have the Verizon Developer Edition of the Galaxy S5, but wanted to ask for anyone for has a Galaxy S5.
There won't be an official version developed by Canonical. If you can, however, get someone who owns a Galaxy S5 to port the OS to your device, there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

[Q]Samsung Galaxy S5 or Motorola Nexus 6 or Suggest

Hello
I was a happy owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I sold it yesterday but it was too big for my palm
Now I would like to buy a new phone and I cannot decide which one.
I am between Galaxy S5 and Nexus 6 and I cannot make up my mind.
To be honest I'm tired of Samsung Phones, I started with Samsung Galaxy S GT9000, then S2 then Galaxy Core then Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 and I'm really tired of Samsung and I hate Knox which voids your warranty if you install a custom rom or you modify your system and the Samsung Bloatware
However the phones were masterpieces in terms of performance and the support of custom roms was magnificent and S5 would be at least that good.
I'm really excited with Nexus 6 because Nexus devices are known for their Clean Android experience, the instant updates and Nexus 6 will be a high end experience.
I would like your suggestions and help me decide which phone should I buy.
Also please, if you have any other phone to recommend, please do so, I would like to check it out
200% you can go for nexus6 ....
Samsung never gives update at proper time like nexus devices
For every android version Samsung plan new device and for pushing new device they delays updates for old one
But nexus is not like that within some days you will get update when gogle release new firmware
Custom ROM support for nexus devices is great compared to that of Samsung devices .....only thing that nexus devices will not have some advanced touch wiz features like note series has .....

I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 2 and I have the Nexus 5 since November, 2013.
I recommend you the Nexus 6 as your next device. Why? Because the price-quality ratio is awesome, no bloatwares, no Knox, the latest Android versions, the best UX I have ever seen and a wonderful XDA community

[SM-G357FZ] REQUEST: Cyanogenmod 11 or 12 for Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 SM-G357FZ

Hi,
there is anyone avaiable to develop a Cyanogen Mod 11 or 12 ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 SM-G357FZ?
The model with 1,2 Ghz Quad core 64-bit processor, 1 GB of RAM and LTE technology, it's perfect for Lollipop or Marshmallow
Thanks in andvance!
Would love this also, as just brought one 2nd hand for family member whom is stuck in dark ages of the original Ace.
Nice little fast phone for £20, mint condition aswell.
I see the G357FZ has little support, i think merely due to it being the newer model of teh range.
If no success, i will remove bloatware and keep original rom.
Best wishes
I would also like a ROM for my sister's phone.
She usually finds it slow with some wifi problems and she has always wished for a Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM.
A ROM would make her day.
Thanks for Listening
