3.0 ROMS

Now that you have ROOT and a CUSTOM recovery, you might want to install a new ROM. And there are truly a lot of ROMs to choose from, so which should you pick? While there is no definite guide to what's best, this will give a brief explanation of what you can expect from the various ROMS.

An important thing to note, is that your battery life won't magically improve 50% by flashing a custom rom. While it might improve you should compare it to what you have now, and not the results other people may get.

3.1 Stock Based ROMs

These ROMS are based on the stock User Interface (UI) that came with your phone. Many of these ROMs do not have useless apps pre-installed and might have a feature or two added to them, like the split window.

These ROMs usually have very good stability, are fast and have good battery life. Search around in the G2 Android Development section and follow the instructions.

3.2 Flex Based ROMs

Flex based ROMs are quite similar to stock based ROMs - except the User Interface is black. They are stable, fast and have good battery life. All of the flex based ROMs include split window and the ability to hide the navigation bar in certain apps.

3.3 G2 PRO based ROMs

These ROMS are less common and very similar to the G2 stock roms in terms of looks, stability and performance. The most unique feature of these kind of roms is that it allows you to get a "mini-view" by sliding over the navigation bar. These ROMs also include split window and the ability to hide the navigation bar in certain apps.

3.4 G3 Based ROMs

These ROMs are often the most-sought-for ROMs as they have a nice, modern Flat UI and tinted status bar that changes in accordance with the color of the action bar of the application. Many find it the most visually pleasing ROM, but it's also a bit more demanding in terms of hardware resources. They commonly have good stability, good performance and battery life on par with stock, maybe a little less.

4.0 AOSP ROMs

AOSP ROMs are for the Feinschmeckers of Android and do like the AOSP look. AOSP ROMs are commonly less rich in features, but offer an unmatched smoothness and speed. Unfortunately, since the LG Camera sources are closed source, the Camera performance on AOSP is subpar to the that on stock LG ROMS.

Please note that STOCK Kernels only WORK with G2 and G3 based ROMS and do NOT work with AOSP roms

AOSP kernels DO NOT WORK WITH STOCK LG ROMS

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz3nt:
Hello,

I tried quite a few of the ROMs mentioned here.

They have one thing in common, in the beginning the phone is much faster but after a while it gets really slow, even slower than the original Samsung ROM.

Which ROM to use that will stay fast?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
i´m on slimKAT by A-A and it stays fast for weeks/months...

Think this is not ROM but app-related.

The more apps, the more you will loose speed...

I use SDMaid to clean my device from time to time. Maybe it helps ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adi9981:
I've tried many Stock ROMs, CM11, CM10.2, Carbon and Omni, but the fastest ROM imo is Stock XXAMG4. After debloating it's very fast.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz3nt:
Well I try to keep the amount of apps as low as possible, I only keep the apps installed I really use, no games at all as they tend to eat a lot of space, I use my tablet for that. I will give that SDmaid a try, it looks very interesting.

Anyway, so far I only tried 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 ROMs, perhaps that's the problem as these Android versions were never intended for the S3 mini, perhaps I have to find a good 4.1.2 ROM
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adi9981:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409400

I'm using this one. It's flashable through CWM/TWRP, it's zipaligned, deodexed and rooted. You can debloat it yourself.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonryder:
or try THIS AWESOME STOCK ROM - really recommended ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
You can also give this ROM a try. It's very fast even when playing hard games like FF6, CSR, GTA, etc.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinz3nt:
Thanks guys!

I'm gonna give them all a go to see which one is the best.

So far, the 4.4.4 ROM I'm using (Pac ROM) gets worse and worse; lots of crashes and incredibly slow at times, it's a good lesson why you shouldn't try an Android version that wasn't meant for your phone.

Ah wel, next year, another phone
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hugantic:
Didn't see this anywhere for the Galaxy S5, used to have it on my epic and missed it, so adapted this one from the one posted by senior member Rhadamg in the Sony Xperia Z1 forums, all credit to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798724

I basically added extra frames of black to the beginning and sped up the audio slightly, for some reason the boot sound waits almost 4 or 5 seconds to start playing (if anyone knows why that is or how to change that I'd appreciate the knowledge) so I delayed the image sequence so it would sync properly.

This is a "bootanimation.zip" file so either you need to be on a ROM that supports this format or flash a file created by senior forum member anbech through custom recovery, which can be found in this guide as well as general instructions:

http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/easily-change-boot-animations-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-0157380/

Better yet, instruction (and another download mirror) can be found here in the forums:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/themes-apps/mod-enabling-bootanimation-zip-t2840097

The "PowerOn.ogg" file is included in the zip, but it should be extracted and replace the one in the /system/media/audio/ui directory

Enjoy!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] gargleblarg:
Good idea. Some of the black slides at the beginning should be deleted, they take up so much time that you only see the Playstation part for a split second.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hugantic:
I could drop a few black frames up front easily, but the primary issue is that I can't figure out how to get the audio to start sooner, so I'd have the animation with no audio. I basically started the animation at the earliest point audio playback could begin so that it would at least be in sync, then I condensed the speed of the audio to a point where I thought it sounded the least ridiculous.

Again, if anyone knows how to make it so that audio playback on boot can start sooner, I would love to know.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] gargleblarg:
I was hoping someone had a fix for the sound delay as well, but no luck so far.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastershotgun:
Hi Guys,

This is first time I'm going it and obviously I'm missing some step...

I have HTC Desire HD (the european version) I successfully unlock the bootloader. Successfully installed the clockwork recovery on my recovery partition and I'm able to start installing the ROM from the SD card in the zip file, some ROMS even have wizard to go thru like the "Xperia UI mod" and so, but after the installation and the first reboot the phone never boots up successfully, it always freeze with black screen after htc animation at beginning...

Any idea what I'm doing wrong please? Thank you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gatosbil:
If you are S-ON user and you are trying a rom with custom kernel you have to flash it manually from your bootloader.Just extract the kernel from the zip you was going to flash with recovery to the folder you have fastboot and give the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.

It should solve your problem.You can always S-OFF your device or you can use 4EXT Recovery Touch
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastershotgun:
great,

that totaly worked, the trick is to flash the boot before installing the ROM not after...

Thank you Sir!

Skip the middle man. Here is where the chips are coming from. Order as many as you like. Enjoy guys.

Edit- Price has jumped and doubled for these chips. Congrats on anyone who was able to grab them @ 10 a piece.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
FYI, Aliexpress/manufacturer doesn't ship to all states and from what I've experienced, it requires a strict credit card check (majority of the time it goes through). I've had payments denied and needed to submit my billing and credit card information in order to be approved and before I can place orders (even this was a process to get it approved). Processing takes 5 days (as of now, its 10+ days until they have stock) and shipping takes approximately 2 weeks.
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
Mine went through without a hitch. Got my confirmation and order is processed. So what if it takes two weeks from over seas. I've ordered from them on multiple occasions with no problems. I just ordered two chips for 20 bucks flat. Can't beat that.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
I ordered yesterday and received an email today saying it was shipped. Will update with how long shipping takes. It says 5-15 days estimated delivery time.
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
Great to hear man. Got my confirmation email the next day as well. Will update on mine as well.
[AT&T LG G3] jainanshal:
Is it $10/piece or $20, shows the price initially as 10 but becomes 20 in the cart?

This is the link I'm trying to buy from.
[AT&T LG G3] crazililazn:
I was just about to get one and then they bumped the price to $20 a piece :/
[AT&T LG G3] jainanshal:
Yeah, just doubled!!
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Per manufacturer

"As G3 PMA chip developing cost is much higher than qi standard chip,and the core material

which guarantee steady performance almost 3 times of qi standard chip after final check so we have to adjust the price"
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
well I was interested, but then the price doubled... and it's Ali, which means they won't ship to me... so I'm double F'd, oh well
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
See my signature. Preorders will reopen next week.
[AT&T LG G3] potatomanwrl:
I ordered one. I'll let you guys know how things turn out.
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
Sweet. Mines in route now. Should get them this weekend or early next week. I ordered a few.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
I asked manufacturer about orders from their Aliexpress being shipped since it seems they are still in production with these chips.

"Hi Friend,

Trust us,no goods delivery yet. Trust us.

We will delivery your goods first as we promised."

The emails you got about shipping may be generic email? Does it have tracking number?
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
Yes it has tracking number. It must be generic email when they ship in stock products. I will have to recheck and confirm dates.
[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Any updates to that tracking number or no information?
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
No updates
[AT&T LG G3] massivevoid:
I ordered from them and it shipped out of SHENZHEN.
[AT&T LG G3] SnowWizard:
Mine did too, shipping shows acceptance per the USPS website. They shipped USPS e-packet and usually arrive pretty quickly nowadays.

I picked up a few extra's if anyone's interested be the same price 20 shipped with paypal or google wallet.

I can provide my ebay id if your wary and just have a few extras to offer, figured be better to order extras seeing how we all have been waiting so long already....
[AT&T LG G3] whodatfan:
Got it yet?
[AT&T LG G3] renobles:
I ordered one as well. Shows to have made it into the US as of yesterday. I'm guessing a couple more days to get here.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I purchased one of these things about two weeks ago from them..... I am still waiting..... Last I checked it was still in China. It took me a while to get the order to go through. So if you want it now, go elsewhere.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
So just wanted to update. My order was shipped on 10/11 and didnt show any tracking info until 10/18, and hasn't updated since then. Last tracking update was "Despatch from Sorting Center" in Shenzhen on 10/18.

After reading the other thread of people who have received theirs, so far 2 people have mentioned its hard for the back cover to close with the chip inside and the suggestion is to remove the magnet. Previously I have used qi wireless charging in my nexus 7 with the nexus wireless charger and the magnets in that definitely made it easy to find the right charging spot and convinced me it would stay in its spot. However without a magnet to hold it I have a feeling it will be very easy for the device to get out of the charging area. I'm concerned that with removing the magnet it will be difficult to find the right spot and that any small bump will cause the phone to move and stop charging. Is this more of an issue with the magnets inside the wireless charger itself, or the magnet inside the back of the device?
[AT&T LG G3] thcue:
Got mine from eBay it came source is a go!:good:

It fits with the cover on tight but it fits slide one side on 1st and snap the other etc.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
Mine installed without a hitch. Back cover fits on just fine. It was a little harder to close, but it sealed up just fine. I have had it off and on a few times since and no problem. I got the ebay one two days ago but I am still waiting for the China one. For 10 bucks, I got it as a backup.
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
Finally received mine today after almost 2 weeks and just wanted to share my experiences. Similar to others I am unable to get the back to close properly with the magnet and without the magnet. The sticker is much more thicker than I imagined and I don't know how anyone was able to get the back cover to close. Also, whatever adhesive was holding in the original NFC sticker seemed flake off and get everywhere, immediately scratching the surface of my new pma charger and the back of the phone when I first tried the wireless charging.

Thankfully I got it when it was still $10 so its only a minor disappointment. And not sure the last time I used NFC anyways. Oh well.
[AT&T LG G3] cobyn:
didnt seam to work :(

got the sticker today, installed it with magnet.

case struggled to get back on. place it on powermat and it chimes charges for a milisecond and then chimes off...

tried without magnet, no chime no charge...

no clue if its the charger or the stickers fault...
[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
At first mine did exactly what you mentioned, chimed off and on. It took many tries to get the correct placement but eventually I got it to charge. Without the magnet in it is difficult to get the right placement, but if you keep trying it should work.
[AT&T LG G3] renobles:
I received mine today. I installed it with the magnet. The back cover is definitely a tighter fit now, but still will snap closed on my device. Also have an Incipio feather case on the phone. It will line up and charge with or without the case as expected. I'm quite happy with it for $10. :)
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I am about to order that case. Is it like a TPU case or is it rigid?
[AT&T LG G3] renobles:
It's rigid. Very slim case. A bit on the slippery side, but still grippier than the stock phone. The intial one that came from Amazon developed a crack after a few days in the bottom right corner. I contacted Incipio support, and they sent me one right out. New one is holding up just fine.
[AT&T LG G3] onurd:
Interesting Issue

I have purchased the sticker directly from ALIEXPRESS and a tmobile branded black cover off of EBAY (for $7, so total price was $17 with the sticker). They both arrived and I did put the sticker onto the new back. Both NFC and wireless charging are working fine. Yes, the back is kind of snug with the magnet but still closes. My SUPCASE ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7ATU8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) is I assume too thick and wouldn't reliably charge wirelessly. So ordered the INCIPIO case. We will see...

Here is my issue: I have the charge next to my bed and somewhere through the night I did hear the noise that the charger/phone does when you place it on the charger the first time. I guess the charger turns on/off or restarts charging after so many hours after the battery is fully charged. It is very annoying. Is there a way to prevent this?
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
Somewhere I read that someone removed the speaker from the charger. They said it was easy.

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

Thanks, I ordered one yesterday as well as a backless case I found on Amazon yesterday. I have a cheap 2 dollar case coming from China, but it will take a few weeks. It will be nice to close the book on this.
[AT&T LG G3] thcue:
IM me if you want to sell that supcase I could use a black one. Little extra money back wont hurt ya if you cant use it.

So I bought a qi charger on accident ..... It needs to be PMA compatible right ....?..... Plus the damn charger doesn't hold my phone right anyways ... What chargers are you guys using so I can grab a new one .... Hopefully on the cheap:thumbup: thanks in advance

[AT&T LG G3] iazybandit:
Yes, it needs to be PMA compatible. Duracell is the only brand that makes PMA compatible charging pads. Just do a search for Powermat.
[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:
Alright was wondering if that was the only one ..... Do you have problems with it ?

[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
OK, So I get the Lollypop update and now my phone is going wonkie when it is on the wireless charger. When it is done charging it constantly chirps and birrrrinnggs.

All was well with my sticker and PMA pad until the update.

Anyone else have this issue since the update?
[AT&T LG G3] rwhitman:
may be stupid question as I am new to wireless charging. Can anyone point me to what charging base or pad do I need to put the phone on to charge it with this chip in the phone?

also, I heard that wireless charging is harder on the battery requiring more frequent battery replacements.
[AT&T LG G3] hollisnh:
I had a Nexus 5 with wireless charging, I can tell you that the phone's battery was much hotter when using the Qi wireless charger and it stayed hot even after the phone reached 100%. not sure if the same is true with PMA, but I bet it is. Heat reduces battery life, I was thinking of getting the PMA sticker for my D850 but I think I will skipped it. I am also very curious to learn with wireless charging method the Galaxy S6 will use.
[AT&T LG G3] ElBeaner:
The btery/phone get quite warm during wireless charging.

It dissipates pretty quick after done charging though. I was wireless charging overnight but have stopped that now because it would be done charging say around 2am and then stop charging(not even trickle charge). I use the wireless charging at work if I need quick charge at my desk or at home next to my recliner.
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
I added pma charging to my phone, but it would never work right. I would place the phone on the charger and it would only charge for a fraction of a second before stopping. I just ordered a new charger (the same brand and model as my original charger) and the phone charges just fine on the new charger.

I thought I would just throw that out there as I know a lot of people have experienced a similar charging issue.
[AT&T LG G3] Jhonb:
I have the sticker and used it with 3 different chargers. All worked fine until lollypop. Now mine does what yours used to do on all three chargers.. Some have complained that lollypop has had this effect on the circle cases as well. I hope there is a software fix for this. Are you on lollypop?
[AT&T LG G3] shayneflashindaily:

If I had known... But come to thing of it, I don't think ATT gave me a choice. One day it was just there installing on my phone. My next phone, I am going back to the nexus device.
[AT&T LG G3] JazzyRazzie:
So overall, is the wireless charging useful for the average joe who is always in reach of a charger cord? Would it benefit changing all of them out for wireless charging stations?
[AT&T LG G3] AllstarE4:
My only wireless charging station is at home. If I ever need to charge otherwise I just plug it in. My G3 typically lasts until I get home though.
