Other info too
Using CM over a year. Other ROMs never interested me. CM seems the best option for me.

been using it for about 3 months, I kinda miss the Samsung theme but no way i'm going back there. It just seems to me that CM doesn't have lots of features to mess with. and battery is getting average. I had a rom for a week I dont remember the name and the battery there just wouldnt go downn

TouchWiz had too many features for me that's why i switched to CM. After that i had no regrets about it. Other ROMs look unreliable to me or they are full of features that i won't use.
Why would you ever run a custom ROM. Fucking ever

Touchwiz had a lot of features but the phone felt like a mid range phone lagging and overheating. True other roms look unreliable, i guess CM till something else convinces me.
>>55214729
Because touchwiz thats why
>>55214744
If touch wiz is so bad, why would you buy a Samsung phone?
>>55214729
You're still in the dark. Just try CM on any device thats "kinda" old and you'll see the life it gives
>>55214764
Why not, it was kind of cheap for that price and there are lots of custom rom support for it. There is nothing bad about running custom rom like CM

Same shit can happen with stock android.

So RMA your phone or return it to retailer.

Thats why you install CM on your shit phone just like me or buy a decent phone not like me

Also, daily reminder that Samsung phones don't do this if you don't intentionally break them by rooting or other such nonsense.

What's so good about a custom rom?
Why not just use stock and xposed?
>>55214911
Pretty sure I cant do that with an old phone like S5.

All the shit on XDA sucks, I am just running a cyanogen nightly on my T-mobile GS5.
It has been the most stable and caused the least amount of issues without some shitty skin.

What else would that be doing?
