Lightweight roms? - General Questions and Answers

What are some lightweight roms? I have a phone with 4gb storage and 512mb ram. My friend can compile the rom for my device.

All unmodded AOSP based ROMs are lightweight ROMs, IMO.

Yes.. but can you tell some by name? With android 5.

GIYF ...

Go with Lineage.

Why don't you try some earlier Lineage?
I didn't use it for a very long time but I know it can really save tons of space.

Pls did you get a good rom?

[Q] How to install Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (without custom ROM)?

Hi all,
I did not find any relevant post regarding this, I would like to install the regular JB 4.2.2 (like the one on Google Nexus) on the galaxy tab 2 (10.1').
Is there a way to do so? (I installed the one from samfirmware but its samsung made, I want the original one..)
Thanks in advance,
Asaf
So in other words you want a nexus 7-like Rom for your Tab 2.0 but doesn't want to install a custom Rom hmm impossible (kinda)... I mean you could completely change your devices ui and framework to Look Like the N7 ( if you want i can post a thread to your Tab's App forum) <--------[HARD WAY] or you'll have to install an AOSP Rom (not CM based like PAC or RR) for your device. They give you a clean JB Rom that doesn't come with CM/Pa/AOKP tools that you probably don't want.

Thanks I think what I meant was the second behavior. As I understand AOSP is the regular system provided by google?

You could re-theme it. Download a custom rom, get all the framework, icons and copy it onto samsung's stock rom.
Remove all of samsung's bloatware and replace it with aosp ones

By the time you install the rom through recover it will either install root afterwards or you will need root to install it.

Ok Thanks! if thats what I gotta to so then no other way.. what ROM should I use?
I downloaded recovery through CWM site, but I think it needs to be flushed using the manager (which requires root), so another question is how to root this device? (or can i combine ROM+recovery+root in Odin somehow?)

Everything you will need is in your device's Dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203309) as far as roms concern CM is your best bet :/

Custom Rom for Galaxy J700T ??

Are there any custom roms or stock stripped roms out>??? PLOX post links!!!!!!!!!!
I've been wondering the same thing since June. Seems like all the ROMs are geared towards the F/H/M. I've have tried installing ROMs for other variants with messi2050's kernel. The only one I got to boot was the Note 7 ROM by Allosh. But WiFi did not work.
Hmmm... Any other issues? What about that ROM allowed for you to boot and function I wonder?
If we can get a bounty going for WiFi fix on that ROM we could possibly be on to something....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just copy the wifi files in /system/etc from a stock firmware with a root file manager to the same folder and give it the correct permissions in the N7 rom. The real problem is getting the Camara to work.

My best advice for you is to deodex your factory ROM and decompile your system framework apk(s). All of the ports you see are derived the same way. This device will never see CM/RR/Lineage ported over.

Why do you think this phone will never see CM/RR/Lineage? I think its possible, but we would need is a good dedicated dev that can figure out how to port or build them.

Actually it will be easy to port lineage for j700t, it only has different drivers and ram size than j700h

I agree. I would LOVE to try out a good lineage port. This phone really needs a good ROM, because Touchwiz really sucks.

I can go to git and setup the build environment, I've been following your work and aapav rather closely. I would just need your brain to help me change the ram and cache values and whatever else needs adjusted. Then once finished I could send you the files for upload.

No i meant to cherry pick other developers commits and apply it to your repo ( cherry pick ) if you don't know how to do that i can't help since the most difficult part will be to patch the kernel...

Best Custom Rom

I am currently running the last version of RROS. Lately I've seen many Custom ROMs available, what do you consider to be the best Custom ROM that I can install on my "honor 8"? This considering performance, battery, camera, personalization and fluidity

I know, it would be best to try them all, but I suffered a lot to install RROS, for a little brick my phone, so I ask the opinion of more advanced users ?

My opinion on the camera is negative. Stock camera is the best. And others are not that cool. Even the oneplus5 camera mod is nothing compared to stock camera. But oneplus5 camera is best for our custom ROMs right now ?

I prefer you start install custom ROMs with LineageOS by OpenKirin team, when I use this ROM noticed some small bugs which don't is not much important (led diod don't show properly colours, ambient display...) and with some optimizer and WhitePugKernel I god easily +-6h sir. This ROM first step for install another ROMs. If want know features about each ROM try search by Google because I don't know about all features and right now is here custom ROMs. And if you want know how is each stable read thread about this.

@jedld was working on it. Maybe ask him what is happening with Lineage 15.
I can't say abandoned, more on I didn't have enough time to complete it. I've been busy on other projects lately. I'll probably get back to it soon, though I'll just jump to LIneage 15.1 or 16.0 instead on working on 15.0

Well...it's not that simple, even though it sounds simple.
You also have to check the chipset, graphics controller and partition layout. If these are the same, then the custom rom would probably work. But, you need to look at the install script to see if it checking for model number. Also, I would look at the build.prop file and see what the dpi setting is. You may have to change it for your phone.
