For this week’s ROM of the week, check out the latest CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1, available for all GSM variants (T-Mobile SM-G900T, Canadian SM-G900W8, SM-G900F), Sprint SM-G900P, US Cellular SM-G900R4, and SM-G900I.
This is probably the most stable and fastest Marshmallow-based custom ROM I have tried so far with pretty much everything working out of the box including voice, data, 4G LTE, bluetooth, 4K video camera, etc…etc… So far, I haven’t been able to spot any bugs in the last few days I have been daily driving this ROM.
I know some of you were complaining that SnapChat wasn’t working on the VRToxin ROM but this CM13 ROM works with SnapChat just fine. Other than great performance, you will get all of the features of CM13, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, DOZE mode, and lots more.
If you have a model that’s supported, definitely give this guy a go this week(end) and do let me know what you think!
