[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Yeah it really does depend on what you're comparing.

There are many pros to flashing custom ROM, but you don't get the official updates anymore - which you have to wait for your ROM cook to cook up a new version.

Custom ROMs also give you more possibilities in customization, on stock ROM you are limited to many things. You have more control over your apps and have the capability of using superuser permissions on apps.

There are more pros for custom ROMs than pros for stock ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladehawk:
Some ROM's remove a lot of bloat, that combined with custom kernels may allow for faster speed, better battery life and a greater degree of customization of the UI. If you use a touchwiz rom you can keep the spen functions, but ROM's like Cyanagynmod may limit the pen functionality and lack the Samsung features supporting the spen.

I'm running hyperdrive ROM ATM. Battery life is far better, all the s-pen features work and it's significantly faster. I've also changed many of the stock colors in the UI and flashed a theme I like. The rom bakes in some other helpful apps, for example one that switches an alternate keyboard (Swiftkey for example) with the stock keyboard (for writing) when the spen is out. You could add these separately, but can be accessed via the ROM's tweaks utility.

Um I have never run a 4.3 rom that I didn't get the problem where occasionally I can not call out unless I toggle airplane mode on and off. So I would much prefer to copy a working setup rather then make mine work. However, I am running baseband and build no MJC with the kt747 and a non aroma 4.3 rom.

I have tons of cameras depending on what I'm doing. For the sake of simplicity I will yap about my latest DSLR that I use occasionally when I don't mind lugging it around. I use a Canon 7D with several older EF lenses back from when I was shooting film. I find that smart phones take awful pictures unless the lighting and subjects are cooperating perfectly. I have some waterproof ones for snowboarding, snorkling, and swimming. I have a couple of small compact point and shoots for carrying around to take pictures when I need portability like with a smart phone but want better pictures. I have been increasingly unhappy with point and shoot cameras these days. That's about it. I could go into more detail if you have any specific questions.

[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Just because its price - quality ratio is decent doesn't mean it's the best.... Far, far from it. Maybe if you only snap pictures in bright light and never view them in 100%. But you can't expect real quality from a cheap camera.

It can't handle Macro in low light, for one. I did a project once with leftover contact lenses, a laser pen, no other light source and a Macro lens. The d5100 would not have handled that well. (A 600D I used for the initial setup did not either, same level. My EOS 70D had no issue, even without a stationary.)

Neither can it handle high iso ratings well, making it useless in low light without a stationary. Noise starts appearing around 400 ISO, whereas a higher-level one can handle up to 3200 without noise. Top-tier can do 6400 without noise.

The best would be a full-frame, like the EOS 5D mk3 or the better yet, the EOS 1D.

Will cost you several thousand quid, though.

In its price range, the d5100 does fairly well. But do not call it 'the best'. That's just silly ;) (bit like saying the S5 mini is the best.)

Hey guys,

My friend has a nexus 5. He had it rooted and had cyanogenmod installed. it was working fine since a couple of weeks, but then it suddenly developed problems last night. The ROM would then immediately reboot and then after a point it got stuck on the CM boot logo. Now it doesn't even get past the google logo. The logo comes, and the device reboots again. Is it that the device needs to be charged a little more before I can use wugfresh's toolkit to push it into recovery/bootloader to recover the device? Any help appreciated. Thanks

[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
hi everyone

nowadays everyone are talking about F2FS .. i was interested to experience it and see how good it is

here is a good review as you can see, F2FS wins in term of benchmark.. no doubt about that

but how is it in real life?

i made a comparison for myself and want to share it.. i gave my friend's device and flashed Velocity F2FS

i have HellKat (a cm based rom) on my device.. i must say there isn't "ANY" difference in smoothness and speed

of interface.. (scrolling.. opening and closing apps) .. ANY difference..

maybe F2FS is good for those who want higher benchmarks.. but i don't see a noticeable improvement

in real life..

what do you think? do you agree with me?

[Nexus 4 General] lotherius:
Not a very scientific test as the previous poster has pointed out.

However, here's my 2 cents worth.

On the Nexus 4 I haven't bothered with F2FS because I haven't noticed any perceptible slowdowns on stock firmware/franco kernel to begin with.

However, on my 2012 Nexus 7 I was having a lot of lag issues using stock/Faux123. It was painfully slow at times, even just waking the screen. I converted to F2FS (data only, not system), and the problems evaporated. Did I benchmark? Nope, because anecdotal evidence (my own) was all I needed. It was slow before, then it was fast. I had tried multiple other solutions prior to F2FS that didn't work. Many other users on the N7 2012 have also reported the same experience.

The gist is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The N4 filesystem isn't really broken. The N7/2012 seems to have a worse flash memory, and needs this type of fix.

I would love to see this implementation on my transformer tf101. The internal emmc is so slow that our mighty developer found a way to use the external micro sd card as internal memory and tablet became more responsive. But I don't think it's the case with our nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] madsurgeon:
I think it should be the other way around. Velocity is so fast on ext4, that f2fs doesn't make a difference. Maybe you should run hell's on f2fs to appreciate a real world difference. My 2¢...
[Nexus 4 General] urim225:
I want to know when converting to F2FS, is the home and recents lag still there ?
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
if you ask me, there isn't ANY real life speed improvement.. you can use ART.. it sure has improvement..
[Nexus 4 General] smartymcfly:
The previous benchmarking was conducted on a different model phone, it shouldn't be used to decide if the benchmarks on a nexus 4 will improve or not.
[Nexus 4 General] maverickronny:
What exactly were u expecting to see?? What tests did u perform. Plz understand that f2fs is a better file system that would prevent ur phn from becoming slower due to filesystem probs in other filesystems. U won't 'notice' anything after few hrs of use.

Also, when u say it's for 'increasing' benchmarks, what do u mean? Benchmark shows how it performs.
[Nexus 4 General] ngr.hd:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
i747M is for the Canadian and Mexican variants. If you were on stock 4.1.2, you should be able to Odin back to stock 4.1.1 or upgrade to 4.3 via custom recovery. You can go to the thread below to check the correct stock image for your phone based on carrier. Make sure you use the correct image as flashing the wrong version could hard brick your phone. Download to your PC and then flash. If you select the 4.3 version, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin, save the file to a (micro) SD card and then flash via custom recovery.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghjsdf9:
i'm Asian it worked for local networks before bricked so i'm not clear with choosing in versions... ["help me with it"]:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
If we are going to flash a stock ROM, we would need to flash the correct version as there is risk of a worse brick if we flash the wrong one. When the phone was working normally, the old network would probably be showing during booting. If you got it from abroad, please check if you can get the information from the previous owner. If there is no way of telling the correct firmware, then you can flash custom recovery to the phone and try flashing a custom ROM via recovery. It's always tidier flashing a custom ROM to a device functioning normally but, unless we can be sure of the correct stock firmware to flash, your options may be limited.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghjsdf9:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I've seen this particular problem reported several times and it's always been a problem with the pit file. Flashing a complete stock system should fix all partition problems though. If the stock file you are using is an Odin flashable file, you may try using Odin 3.09. Otherwise, I'd suggest you find a recovery flashable image and flash via (custom) recovery.
