Custom rom - Samsung Galaxy M40 Questions & Answers

Any hopes for custom roms any time soon??

Well i don't think so. Sales for this phone was not good. So guessing devs won't be present here.

Customs Roms and Google or Android Dev....

So I have a GN and now Im running the Bigxie rom, its blazzing fast, and solid as it shoulfd be However I find it odd, that we buy a phone for 600usd and then to put it working as it should be, needs to by developers,developing roms and Kernels and then needs to by us flashing it...
Shouldnt be Google or Android department, developing roms or whatever to take the most of the device... I understand that they release the code and the stock rom and then its up to everyone to develop, but shouldnt their stock roms be the most advanced and fast has custom roms like yours?
Ive got 3 devices, N1, GN and GTab 10.1 and in all 3 devices I run customs roms to take the most of them....Its strange, the way I see it, it should be them, when they release somenthing the rom, should be the best of the best, with kernel up to the best in speeds..bla bla bla....
I dont know...just my thought,....maybe Andoid department should choose some developers to be affiliated with them and develop customs roms...
Once again, thanks to everyone who develops customs roms and keep up the good work

Custom roms?

I'm wondering what prevents our devices from running custom roms such as cyanogen, aokp, etc?
I don't think that there is necessarily anything that prevents us from running custom ROMs, I think it's more of a lack of developers.
At least that's what i'm guessing (I know there are certain people here that mod the existing firmware and stuff, but creating a completely new ROM is usually not a one-man show... at least most of the time).
oh I'm fully aware of the difficulties and time needed..I just wasn't sure if it was lack of dev interest or what tho

whats better in custom rom from stock rom?

hey people whats up!!!
latelly i root my s3 and put custom rom,but when i had the stock rom i remember that it was smooth and fast.
so my question is what stuff you like lots more in the custom rom more then in the stock rom
now i have custom rom but it works same like the stock i cant remember somthing diffrent ,the op write lots change but i dont notice this in everyday use
can you tell me your opinion?
thxxxx
I have been playing around with the custom roms, but found that they were a little buggier than stock and most of the additions in them are available in stock anyway.
Foxhound Rising was my favourite, awesome black theme, and smooth and fast, but as it had no other advantages over stock, I have since put my phone completely back to stock and it's just as good.
All in all I think the custom roms for SGS3 are awesome and almost work perfectly so either way you'd be happy, for me personally, stock is good enough.
Sending out a hell yeah for the SGS3 Devs and their awesome work on this phone
I think it all depends on what features you want to be honest as I think they are both as quick as each other
Well... they do come with handy tweaks.
And many tweaks require deodexed roms so you would have to flash a new rom anyway. Might as well.
Some have cool themes or gives you vanilla ics experience (CM9/AOKP/AOSP).
But currently performance and feature wise... Not much at the moment.
One expects a six month old phone to have faster custom roms than stock but not after a month .
The other factor is that you can start to build the fastest rom on the planet and your thread will be flooded with i want themes i want this i want that posts . So many users want just a pretty rom and seem not to care about much else .

Too many custom roms.

We have too many custom roms for onyx. That's a good and bad thing the same time. It's a good thing because we have many good developers who create special roms from there personal time giving us great diversity but at the same time we have many buggy or constantly updating roms in very small incremental steps. I think it would be a good idea if we users could create some kind of feature database with all the various roms and the most important, how they stack up to each other from features /steadiness, battery stamina point of view. I don't know if it's a good idea koritsi even doable) but it is a thought I had for a long time because I encountered the same problem when I wanted to choose between various roms. What do we think about that?? Thanks for taking the time and reading / contributing in the topic.
Ps; If mods think it needs to be moved in another section I would be grateful. Thanks again.

You've posted in the wrong section.
I think it's a good idea! Thought of something like that myself a few days ago. So far I've tried pure unofficial CM13 and Temaseks Custom CM13, apart from stock OOS, of course. Liked the pure one a little better due to better stability and lesser, but also less incremental updates. That's my two cents. What's your experience?

I was thinking about Candy 6, maybe I'll roll it back!
@sniper20 You are right. But Please PM Mike Channon to move this thread to the Gernal Section.

DON'T ROLL BACK!!
This is ONLY OP's opinion.
Majority are WAITING for custom ROMs as far as I know.

Yes, there are many custom roms with issues, but they are basically all based on the same custom CM rom - which means that once we solve an issue there, it will also be fixed on the custom roms.
For now I think: more custom roms = more users = more feedback = less issues in the long term.
Having a feature database would be great, but people have way too different requests/expectations from roms, that would not really work.
We need to have more custom roms so that we stick to this lovely service for a long time.. It's a nature of human being too desire more rather than sticking for one thing
I agree, the claim of "too many roms" might be exaggerated. The underlying notion of a database listing all the ROMs at our disposal with their objective feature sets plus maybe things like current versions, links, bugs and quirks and benchmark scores plus personal experience with them concerning day-to-day performance and battery life would be a great thing, wouldn't it? New users would get a hub with essential information to get into finding and flashing the ROM most suited for them quickly, while senior users would have the overview of new developments of their favorite ROMs. For me, that sounds great. I hope the OP did not want to imply limitations of ROMs would be the way to go. Competition makes for some nice developments.
I had the same problem choosing a ROM. features are all described in their own threads. but it's a lot to read and hard to decide which one is right for you.
maybe something like categories could be made. like: Resurrection ROM is feature heavy and only for power users, CrDroid is in the middle and CM is just basic without extra features....
someone would have to make a list like that.
Agreed.
Quality>quantity.
All the ROMs have a very minor bug, but most of them were cleared and being cleared. But now the ROM I really miss in OnePlus X is MIUI. But yes We have CM13 which is awesome in every aspect.
I myself tried porting miui to opx but stuck with mi logo and have no idea how to Clear this. I hope Our beloved OnePlus X devs are trying to make one.
Biggest issue is you have a solid Rom working for you and you feel the need to flash every update. I was that guy for a while. If your Rom is working great don't update unless it's next month's security patch or some major feature added in you must try.
as for me: choose rom with ota stable & feel free
What intrigues me the most is not the many custom roms available, but the same devs compiling/maintaining 3 or 4 roms at the same time. That ends up in not getting enough time to deal with bugs imo...i never saw such thing (the same dev having 3 or 4 roms at the same time) with any other device I had previously, only the opx. Sometimes the same dev maintains a rom for other devices(like sultans cm13 for our opx and another device that dev has for example), but not different roms. At least I never saw it happen on my previous devices

Question Custom Rom? Anyone w.insight on a release for the S22+

Surprised a custom rom such as Lineage, Havoc or Pixel Exp has not yet been ported to the S22+.
Is a custom rom still likely to appear?
Well I would say yes. The people who make roms usually do it for free. The s22 series is still pretty new so that and having the buy the phone to test it. It will take a while but I'm pretty sure it will come out. If you really want it you can try to port it over yourself as I believe that lineageOS is open source.
