One is for users of roms based on the original factory shipped software and one is for custom roms.
Or something like that.

The stickies in both sections answer your question very clearly. You might want to check them out.

Galaxy S4 i9500 Android Development contains mostly Touchwiz based Roms/kernels.
Galay S4 i9500 Original Android Development contains AOSP based custom Roms/kernels

I actually asked same question as you do about year ago or so ,
and now I'm telling you what i have been told:
1. original forum is where people post THEIR own work, most likely kernel and AOSP ROMs
2. and Android Development, is about modification of OTHER'S work , like rework of existing ROMs/Kernels and so on....

Not exactly : ROMs based on the Google edition firmware are in Android Development as well as TW ones.
The Original Android Development contains ROMs that come from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or CyanogenMod i.e. ROMs that are not based on an official firmware (TW or GE). It also contains non-official kernels.

Whats the Difference between i9500 Original and none Original i9500 ?

Whats the Difference between i9500 Original and none Original i9500. I don't understand why the two threads ..Are the Unbranded I9500 originals and the branded I9500 the none originals ?
Same device different type of development
Original - exactly what it sounds like - I.e it is an original work of some developer and was created from scratch ( CM Roms, recovery, kernels, etc. )
The Android Development thread is mainly for the Samsung based roms
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im sure a new thread was not needed for this.
=================================
Moderator Edit - Can this be moved to the correct forum, I have no idea why it moved here, my mistake
Probably can be closed too
Thank you

[Q] Lost when it comes to "unified"

Hey all,
I am looking around this forum and I see a ton of ROMs. I am a little confused about what Unified means. Does that mean any ROM should work on any Note 3? Or do I have to make sure it says hlte somewhere in the description? (I have the Sprint variant). So many ROMs to try, just want to avoid problems. Thanks!

CyanogenMod has de-unified their builds. Branching into hlte - hltespr and hltevzw. I don't know if this is also the case with TW-based ROMS. Better read carefully the instructions or better yet just browse through Galaxy Note 3 Sprint section of xda dev. You should find everything that's compatible with your device there.

Originally CyanogenMod had seperate builds of Note 3 CM ROMs, but then they decided to merge all model specific CM's together to make "hlte". This is their so-called "unified build".
"hlte" is the Note 3, however there's no such thing as "hlte", as models are classified as "hltexx" (N9005), "hltespr" (N900V), "hltevzw" (N900S), "hltecan" (N900W8), "hltetmo" (N900T), "hlteatt" (N900A). As they all have the abbreviation "hlte", CM took those four letters out and created a build that works for all variants (if applicable on the device).
When the de-unified their builds, they created an "hlte" build but for the specific device that fits it's drivers and set up. I believe they did this in order to stabilize their builds. When they unified them all, I read somewhere that the video drivers caused issues leading to random reboots - even if this isn't so, unification and sharing of common drivers isn't always the best, you would want model specific drivers to take full advantage of your device, and to eliminate common problems that appear on different models of the device.

Best custom rom / unified development/ Samsung Gal S5 G901F (dutch)

HI,
I tried a view different roms but all with bugs. With my current rom I lost bluetooth (is not working).
I am looking for a good stable rom for my device galaxy S5 G901F (Dutch).
Important: good batt.life and fast response.
Another question, the unified rom section, are the roms there suitable for all devices (what can I find is this section?).
Thanks for your response...

Hi Joey99
Stability and Battery Life are almost relative to each user. My profile usage is certainly different from yours and as so my results.
At the Galaxy S 5 Android Development forum you will find ROMs based on the Samsungs original releases. For your device I could find 4 active developments:
[ROM] 6.0.1 [CPE1] Material7 V1.3 / Material7 Full V1.0 - 26/05/2016 - [G901F]
[ROM][STABLE][TW][6.0.1][CPE1][10.05.16][SM-G901F] StockRom V2.0
[ROM][G906/G901][OFFICAL][NIGHTLY]Mokee Marshmallow for S5 LTE-A and Plus
[STABLE][ROM][5.1.1][G901][G906]Kyubi Note 5 Port Ultimate for S5 LTE-A and Plus
Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development forum hosts the "raw" Android releases (not related to Samsung) and, as so, more susceptible of glitches regarding the hardware communication. In fact, I'm not sure if your device is supported there. This you will have to learn by yourself.
Anyway, you should restrict yourself to the ROMs built for your model and you should know that not even Stock Samsung firmware is free of bugs so ....
Be welcome at XDA.
Nice regards and have fun.

I don't understand this forum

Hi everyone,
I may will buy a S5 (SM-G900F) soon, and in this case I will root it and install a custom ROM.
But I don't understand how this forum works : what is the difference between android development, unified development and original android development ?
Thanks.
PS : I'm french, sorry if my english is bad.
android development is kinda general, basic rom stuff. Unified development is for all the versions of the phone as there are over 2 dozen different S5's and original development is for custom ROMs that are mainly AOSP based and or written by a specific dev from source code
