android 6.0.1 fixes all the touchjizz lag problems faggots. update or suffer

Resurrection Remix is the best 6.0.1 ROM for it right now.
I test websites on this piece of shit every day. Even though Android + Chrome is an infinitely better combination for web compatibility than iPhone + Safari, the phone itself is lagging all the time, animations are choppy, and Samsung skin is disgusting.
And yes, it's been updated to 6.0.1 and reset.

I just rooted it through download mode and then installed twrp. I didn't have to go through any unlocking process.

You know that S5 has official CM13 builds, right? It even gets daily nightlies and is in the list of the devices that are going to get official CM14 builds.

I'm using it right now. For most phones after about 2 years they aren't relevant anymore and not worth using.
Performance wise, mine is the same as it was out of the box if not better. After 2 years I see no reason to switch.

I'm still using it. It runs perfectly fine with the custom ROM I'm using. There's no lag at all.
There was a batch of S5's that were basically working lemons.
Some ended up being amazing and some are just laggy pieces of shit. Having had one of each I can attest to it.

This.
Bought used for $150 a few months ago, works perfectly, battery lasts 5-6h SOT, pen is near useless but a nice gimmick nonetheless. Only negatives would be the fact you need to wait like 2 seconds to wake the screen up due to the design of the Exynos CPU at the time (same deal with S3 phones), and the fact that the maximum brightness is still kinda low compared to modern day smartphones for outside use.
Ditto's Note 4 ROM is what I recommend personally if you're into that, 4.4.2 is as much as it is going to go, but it doesn't really matter since standby time is stellar and it looks the same as the Note 4 would look like.

I'm thinking about buying one for the sake of the removable battery and waterproofing for Ingress.
I want to buy refurbished LG G2 and flash cm13 on it. I never had this phone but always thought it's amazing.
