Would flashing a new custom ROM improve battery life

I'm currently using stock MM rom and I'm not really pleased with the battery life so far. I can't last a day with a full charge and the battery drains somewhat fast. Call it placebo but I really think there's something not right. I tried doing a factory reset before but the results are still the same. Now my question is, would rooting and flashing a custom rom perhaps help alleviate the battery life situation by a bit. Maybe say some kernel has better battery performance or so? I don't want to root my phone just for the sake of testing it out. I hope someone could provide some real experiences with the performances of custom roms so far. Thanks! :)

What, if any phone, would you change your S7 for?

Currently awaiting Elephone's to be launched flagship Edge phone and LG'S V20 later in the year. Perhaps a S8 if changes are sufficient enough?

I don't think either of the first two will feature weather resistance but nothing else out there at present I'm interested in. Very happy with the S7E.

What are you waiting for?

[Q&A] What ROM would you like to see on the R1? Why?

I'd like to see a CM13 port because it's extremely close to stock but has a lot of useful extra features. (Like audioFX.) :D

Moto Mods, what would you like to see?

I will start off by saying i would like to see a case that protects the phone and acts as an extension for the mod links, in order to still put mods on (on top of the case) and not lose functionality. It woupd have to be thin of course.

Also a cheap battery extension mod, maybe zerolemon or something.

But a rotating camera lense mod would be super legit. What would you like to see?

New R1 HD Custom ROM (based on stock) Incoming. What would you like to see?

I'm currently working on a custom ROM for this device that's based upon the stock ROM. My goal is to give people an easy one click installation for a nice Android experience before we are able to make custom ROMs. My question here is what would you guys like to see in such a ROM.

The current list of planned features is as follows:

• Pre-rooted (systemless)


• SuperSU


• Xposed (systemless)


• DVDandroid Xposed Installer


• Debloated


• ALL Amazon junk removed


• No Amazon Ads


• Most Google junk removed


• Play Store stays
  [***]Google Search stays
  [***]Everything else is removed (except those mentioned in the next section)
  [***]You can reinstall any of the removed apps from the Play Store at any time
  [**]Extraneous or useless MediaTek junk removed
  [**]Crappy stock apps removed/replaced
  [***]File manager removed
  [***]Camera removed (to be replaced)
  [***]Gallery removed (to be replaced)
  [***]Videos app removed
  [***]Wireless Update removed


• OTA Updates completely removed


• Auto power on/off feature removed (it's a horribly buggy feature, don't want to deal with it)


• BusyBox (system)


• Terminal Emulator included


• AOSP SystemUI Sounds


• Based on Stock version 6.1


• For Amazon Prime edition (I will add support for non-Prime phones once we've confirmed that they can share ROMs)

Features I'm considering/finding solutions for:
- Chrome or AOSP Browser
- Gmail or AOSP Email
- Google Calendar or AOSP Calendar
- Google Keyboard or AOSP Keyboard
- Google Messenger or AOSP SMS App
- Music Player (need a good app, taking recommendations)
- File Manager (need a good app, taking recommendations)
- Camera (need a good app, taking recommendations)
- Gallery (need a good app, taking recommendations)
- CyanogenMod cLock (for homescreen only)
- AudioFX
- GravityBox included
- InstallerOpt included (enhances application installer and App Info dialogs)
- Recently included
- LiveBoot included
- AdAway included
- Your idea here! I'm looking for more feedback!

So, is there anything else you'd like to see? What are your thoughts on the things on this list? I made this thread because I want to hear what other people would like in a custom ROM that we can use until we get real custom ROMs on this thing.

Would like more understanding on rooting a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

Noob here, would like some help rooting gs6 edge+ for hotspot

Hey guys, I'm not root savy. So I'm scared I'll brick it up rooting. My stupid phone updated last night to 6.0.1 before then my hotspot worked great, I use foxfi pdanet on sprint with unlimited data. When I went back the apn settings were greyed out of course. So If I get my rooted can I flash it to were I can get back to my apn settings to change them?

Would like to change the UI sounds

Hey,

Im currently using a Z1C with official CM 12.1 (newest nightly version).

I would like to change the system sounds/UI sounds of android like they were back in android 4.2 and 4.3 (the sounds for tapping on the back button and so on or when you lock/unlock the phone).
How is that even possible? I think I need the original soundfiles and replace the ones on my phone?

Thank you!

4.4 or 5.1 - same unit, which would you choose?

And why?

The 5.1 unit appears to be MTCD_KGL from the screenshot they have provided, however I don't see any comparable information in the screenshots of the 4.4 unit. Do I assume the 4.4 unit is MTCB? I did try inquiring but they reply with nonsense that MCUs are different for each unit. DAB is of no importance to me. Much appreciate any advice.

Unable to link to their product pages, but the units in question are sold by ERISIN, part number ES2028A and ES4028A.

which phone would you buy between the OP3 and S7 Edge

hey guys,

Currently have a OnePlus One.

Am a decently experienced user. Started out on a Samsung Galaxy S, then went to a Galaxy Nexus and to a Nexus 4 after that. OnePlus One finally.

All of these have been very very community supported devices, I was the kind of user to change ROMs every week and often times having to wipe all data.

I'm mostly through all that, mostly because phones are now very much usable in their stock ROMs. By usable I mean we get decent battery with a seamless experience. I have absolutely no patience for lag or visual delays.

I moved away from Samsung and into Nexi phones because they bloated themselves with crap and ugly software but they have been improving or so I hear.

I am now torn between the Oneplus 3 and S7 Edge. I have a list of pros and cons for both and I can't decide so I would mostly like to know what phone YOU would pick in my situation.

I can pick up the S7 edge for 550€ and the OP3 for 400€ so price is not terribly different.

ROMs compatible with Pokémon Go? And would a Resurection Remix patch be possible?

Dear Forum,

I am having trouble getting Pokémon Go to work on my HTC One m8 running Android version 6.0.1 and the Resurection Remix rom. The app simply refuses to start, instantly minimizing when tapped on and sometimes giving the "unfortunately polemon go has stopped and needs to close" message.

I am thinking the problem is to do with my custom rom. So my question is: Is there a way to make RR compatible with pokemon go? and failing that, are there any similar 6.0.1 roms that are known to work with pokemon go?

Thanks in advance

Would you RMA this?

I've noticed that my OP3's display isn't uniform when displaying gray backgrounds (Chrome, no tabs and Spotify) and on the quick settings menu:




Is this something worth returning?

Can someone please pull aboot.img from their device? Would be a huge help...

How would I got about putting Android N on my Verizon M8?

So I thought all this time I needed to enact s-off on my M8 to root it but apparently I don't? Sorry, I'm a bit confused. I just want to put N on my M8. If I don't need to s-off, that's great news.

How would the radio break when you root?

I know there are ways around breaking the radio, but I'm just really curious. How would rooting break the radio? Does it have something to do with the weird encryption that comes on some Marshmallow devices now? Thanks.

Un-rooting stock rom would make Gearvr work again ?

I used to have a rooted Lollipop stock rom and then got the gearvr and it didnt work until I re-flashed the un-rooted firmware again , this caused me to reinstall everything from scratch , now a friend suggested i should try un-rooting option found in KingUser or SuperUser whenever I needed to use Gearvr (untested , just a thought).

so anybody tried this ?

I just dont want to have to reinstall everything once more , its pretty much annoying :)

Thanks in advance :)
