Been on stock for months, wonder what a Custom ROM will bring me..

Hi guys,

I have been on stock for months now (latest firmware, with factory reset aswell), and I keep bumping into people claiming a custom ROM should fix all janky stutters that Samsung applied as a feature to their software, same goes for the RAM management.
Weird, stupid stutters happen all over the device, even in stock apps like the Phone app (pulling up the digit input pad or switching tabs is just hillarious)..
It is really effecting my experience I have with this device, while it could (and should) be amazing, considering the power it has..

I've had a Nexus 5 before this, and things just seem smoothher in terms of scrolling etc.
Could a custom ROM give me the same non (barely) stuttery performance I had on the Nexus 5?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm just very carefull with this thing as it might mean the end of my warranty.

What is your experience when you compare a stock ROM with a custom ROM?
I tried looking for comparison videos, but they are non existent.

Cheers!

Note 4 Orientation Thread, please educate me...

Hi Friends,

I'm a fairly experienced Samsung user, S4, Note 2, Note 3, and now finally waiting for my Note 4 to come in the mail. I took a break away from Sammy with LG G3 and G4. Can you guys help me get oriented with Note 4, with my quick questions? I've been reading the forum, but, as you guys would imagine, there's still room for clarity, thus my thread:

1. What is the BEST ROM you could recommend for the most stable experience, with performance and battery life? Some say Rapture hands down, others recommend Poprocks, but then I look at something like TEKXodus and the replies and views that ROM has and I am like WOW! Let's not forget the S6 ports!

2. Is there a way to do simple Mods on the Note 4 like changing Status Bar icon colors, and maybe changing the Toggles colors? If so, what is that app? I'm thinking of something like Gravity Box, Wanam Kit, LG Tweaksbox, but for the Note 4? Personally, I love foreverloco's simple AOSP style themes, but I doubt they'd work on the latest ROM versions?

3. What is the truth about Note 4 screen on time? On QHD screens on the G3 and G4, I couldn't get more than just under 4 hours for the LG G3 and not even 2.5 hours for the LG G4!! Biggest reason why I'm moving off of the phone! I never game, am on WiFi most of the day, don't have Bluetooth or NFC running. Just WiFi all day, all workday conference calls, and some days 2 to 3 hours of data on, not WiFi.

4. I don't know the model I'll get, but if I get the 910T3, am I screwed? Or screwed without it?

5. Any outstanding issues with Xposed on 5.1.1 ROMs?

Thank you in advance for your help and responses!
