Hi Guys,
semi-noob here. I have a galaxy s4 (sprint) model sph-l720 that I have activated on Boost Mobile carrier. I got it used and it works fine. I was very unhappy with battery life. I saw a way to convert s4 to s5 by flashing customer rom and thereby getting the ultra power saving mode. I followed the guide but since I'm new I can't post the URL the ROM is echoe rom v29 s5 port part v
kernal 3.4.101-v5.1
I could not root it using there method and even though twrp installed it would not initialize. I found an autoroot file that I installed with ODIN and it worked, phone was rooted. then I installed ROM manager from the play store and installed CM Recovery. that worked. then I installed the echoe ROM from that page. it all worked but now some things are not working. getting xposed not activated messages, mobile data shows a connection but I can't access the network. some other things now wokring either. it also changed my model number to GT-I9505, which I thought was weird...should I be concerned about that? . also it's android 4.4.2 and it might be better to have 5? . So, after all that, my question is to recommend a ROM that is newer but still have the power saving mode, that hopefully fixes the things that are not working. my main concern is battery life and performance. I don't care about things like themes. I hope that makes sense and I appreciate any help. Thanks
