Elephone S8 custom roms, which is best? - Elephone S8 Questions & Answers

6-27-2018 Someone released a new custom ROM for Elephone S8, named AEROM (Alternative Elephone ROM). So now im asking which ROM is better, Eragon or Aerom? Today i flashed AEROM ROM. Im thankful for responses.
My option for AEROM:
-More bloatwares.
-Camera is Smoother.
-Battery life is better.
-More stability.
-Heating is decreased lot!
I dont have option for ERAGON cause im newer flashed it.

Are the video out of sync bugs resolved with this ROM? Like Twitch, netflix, ecc.. If is that the case I will flash that ROM.

Nope not solved

I tried both Aerom and Eragon 2.2. Eragon is by far superior but it leaves little RAM free compared to the stock ROM. A rooted stock ROM would be better in my opinion.
You can find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 stock ROM at:

I hope this helps.

I upgraded to pixel 2, S8 half screen got black after 1.5 years.

Erkki123, I have the same problem! how to fix the screen?

1st ROM to install?

Hi.
My S3 is bogging down, and was going to factory wipe it. But because I've had it over a year now, I feel like putting a new ROM.
I still need to use things like Gmail & Navigation.
Can someone point me to the right direction for a simple install for something that is better than the stock 4.1.2 i'm running.
And as I rooted this last year with the video tutorial posted on here, It was on a previous PC which I don't have so can't remember if it was Odin that I used (If this makes any difference)
Many Thanks
and happy new year!
Archidroid 3.0.2 if you want smoothness and stock android interface.
But beware of bad camera and graphic glitches.
Archidroid 1.7.18 + latest archi kernel if you want not so smooth but still better experience.
It's a Touchwizz ROM but it has a lot of customisability options during install.
My favourite JellyBean 4.3 ROM is Imperium :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37656328&postcount=2
Loads of options to customise through Aroma installer and was always solid and reliable for me.
I am currently rocking KitKat with QS-i9300-KK v3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-qs-i9300-kk-t2755841
which is looking good and solid as a daily driver so far (I am using it with Arter97's kernel v4 beta 2 which fixes the power-off charging bug where the phone will switch on when plugged in to charge - the latest Boeffla kernel also now fixes this issue)
Both of the above are stock ROM based.

Which ROM should I use?

Hello guys!
You have probably had a lot of similar questions regarding this topic, but I can't find any clear answer myself.
I have watched a lot of videos about CyanogenMod, Carbon ROM, ArchiRom (can't remember the exact name) and even a ROM called "Energy HD".
It's great that there are so many possibilities regarding ROMs, but it also tends to confuse me quite a bit - I personally do like a clean ROM, just with the basic Apps installed (Internet Browser e.g.), I also would like to have a nice battery performance and, thirdly, the possibility to chose which Apps I would like to install.
I hope you guys get what I'm trying to say.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Crash1k
There is no such thing as a best rom as this is subjective. The only way for you is to read and try the roms that seems the most appropriate in regards to your wishes.

Thank you for your help.
I have installed the latest ArchiDroid ROM. Everything works fine there, besides two things: I have random shutdowns and GravityBox doesn't seem to work, since there is already another Launcher installed (Google Now). I haven't found a way to fix that yet. Can anyone help?
Greetings,

-for me best rom for galaxy s3 is Archidroid v3.0.2 because it include a lot of optimizations , you can try it with boeffla kernel (CM11)
-Rom who include a lot of options ported from another roms is Temasek ( it include a lot of things like gesture lockscreen ...) , try it with boeffla kernel
-if you want maximum battery life, turn to touchwizz rom based on 4.3( Omegar rom or Android revolution) or 4.4.4 ( Blekota Note 4 or blekota s5)
I guess I will move away from ArchiDroid, since it randomly reboots several times a day, and there doesn't seem to be any support. Well, at least I tried it.
if you want a good battery life i suggest to you Liquidsmooth 3.2: it has a lot of configuration and a good battery life by the battery life mode that at off-screen change to off wifi,data,sync,kill all the applications... if you want another i say Resurrection remix 5.1.5. based on 4.4.2. Very stable and daily usable. A nice kernel for both the roms is boeffla.

Sugest I9300 stable rom for daily use as of 2016.

Hello. I know that this question is asked a million times, but answers to them are already obsolete. Currently am looking ( I am sure I am not the only one) for headache-free, stable and fast ROM as my daily driver. I just want to install a ROM, tweak it a little if I have to and be sure it will work me for another year or so (I am to tired to flash 3rd ROM in a row to see it have major problem).
So if someone would post a brief information about ROM you are using, any custom modification, setting tweaking, flashed custom kernel and potential tradeoffs You The Real MVP.
My experencie with Rom's so far:
Archidroid v3.0.2 (kitkat)
Previously I used as a daily driver which really worked nice for me, until I got infamous "google services stopped worked" which I fixed only by turning google location service (making some cool aps unusable) . Shame, it is the best ROM I tried. The only problem I had was for camera sometimes freezing in black screen, but it happened very rarely.
There was suggestion to re-flash this ROM with flashing never GAPS from OpenGAPS project. Tried, but again got "google services stopped worked". I saw some other workarounds I could try, but I want to be sure there isn't anything better before I try it.
Archidroid v3.1.5 (Lolipop)
Based on lollipop, everything works reliably, BUT much slower then on Kitkat version. Though strangely, decreasing dpi to 240 improved performance dramatically. Many users agree that 3.0.2 is still the better one.
Cyanogenmod-13 (Marshmallow)
Looks promising, fast out of the box with some interesting features. However still buggy (torch not working on lock screen, chrome/ radio crashes phone and so on).
So far as I understand best ROM's are based on Kitkat - Lollipop and Marshmallow needs more ram to run effectively then s3 has. So even some developers suggest sticking to older Android versions. I also heard Boeffla kernel is the best one though I didn't try it personally. What makes it so special ?
Try Liquid Smooth KK rom with boeffla kernel
CyanogenMod 11
Hello,
if you want a stable and battery save ROM, I would prefer CyanogenMod 11 Nightly!

Heh, thanks. I actually flashed cyanogenmod 11 stable and indeed,its stable as it should. Was some problems flashing OpenGAPS but managed to fix flashing version without Aroma installer.
Could anyone tell more about boeffla kernel? What is so special about it ? I know that I can tweek some settings, but I am not going to trade stability for +100 benchmark points.

I use boeffla on all roms because of boeffla sound tweaks and easy zram setup.
Best rom is pacman kk rom, all features in one, bugless...
If u need i will send u gapps that i used before on that rom and worked great.
Only thing it doesnt work, like on all kk, lp and probably mm is noise supression for viber/whatsapp calls. I tried all kk, most lp roms, tried everything to enable ns for voip but it could not be enabled.
Touch wiz rom i recommend is ncsrom, most lightweight rom, fast and stable, made with boeffla kernel...

Recommend Stable ROM for G925F please

Hello guys,
can you please recommend any STABLE rom for SM- G925F ? Galaxy S6 Edge ?
My phone was driving me crazy with stock rom, it was restarting 20 times/day , gives a lot bugs and i decided to try other roms, but i'm not happy so far!
I've tried few stock roms from "sammobile" - a bit better but not as good as it should be.
I tried also CarHDRom_V.24.3_4DPGW and nexify_2.0 .
CarHD rom was kinda slow, and phone keep restarting few times/day. I choose Hacker's kernel from installer.
Nexify gives me message "Messaging stop working" in 1st 10seconds after boot, then i can't use themes and wallpaper menus, gave me message "Settings has stopped"
Anyone here happy to share his experience with some roms ?

There is not much of choice here. S6 edge development kinda very limited, probably not many devs owning it.
You could check S6 android development. Most of the roms are compatible with S6 edge.
On the other hand, I'm using carhdrom v24.3. No issue as yours. You must have done something wrong. Or your phone has issue.
Sent from my SM-G925F
XtreStoLite with SpaceX kernel works great, smooth, fast.
So far, waiting months to return my phone from guarantee service. There was issue with mainboard. Now i will check out some new roms. Thanks!

Nougat roms

Hey guys. Just a heads up for anyone unlocked with twrp installed - there's a bunch of aosp nougat roms over on the g4 plus thread that work on our phones. So far I've tried AOKP, CM 14.1, AICP, and I'm currently running Xenon HD. The only one I've tried that I didn't like was AICP. I just didn't like the feel, I can't really put my finger on why.
Also, they say you need to flash the soak test before flashing the roms. It's my understanding that's because of finger print sensor issues. We do not need to, as we don't have the sensor. I have the XT1625(US variant), so can't flash the soak test, and they've all worked so far.
I have tried them all also i like the new reserection the best but no theme chooser that really sucks plus no xposed yet
I used XPerience for over a week and really liked it, but the battery life wasn't as good as stock. Also, no overclock capability. So I am back on rooted stock/ElementX kernel. I also tried RR 5.8.0 but didn't like it at all. A lot different than the MM version that I used on my G2 for over a year.
All have worked for me but reverted back to stock as it still seems better. Just waiting on the official release.
