I am living in mainland china,planning to buy an S5.Which version of S5 will be most supported by the xda community(G900F VS G900V and both have snapdragon 801)?Will the custom roms be mutually compatible?I can get the mainland chinese version G900V in a new unopened package here but I also can get the international version G900F online which will be activated by the seller so as it would work here in china as a result of the s5 region locking(so it won't be new)..I'm in need of some advice............

I have recently purchased a Galaxy S5 with the model number SM-G900i which I understand is the international model. So am wondering if any roms that are for the generic Galaxy S4 or SM-G900 will work on my phone?
I've been using this ROM,

It is a clean version obtained from the sm900f model compatible for our phones. Just follow directions on the OP
got an I9507 and broke the screen
want to order new one but can't find one, is it the same as any other S4 model?
according to gsmarena it's just a carrier specific variant, the specs are purported to be exactly the same as the i9505

That's a variant of Galaxy S4 Qualcomm with TD-LTE support. Only available on Hong Kong AFAIK.

Hi, I bought China version Galaxy A5 (2016), and successfully loaded Hong Kong version OS in order to use Google apps.
Currently, there have been new Marshmellow OS for Galaxy A5 (2016) version, except for SM-A5100.
Is there any other countries that using Snapdragon instead of Exynos except for China and Hong Kong that has Marshmellow OS?
Thanks

how to install marshmellow
So basically I have the sm-g935f, the international version of the s7 edge. Samsung pay won't work on it. The Canadian variant of the s7 edge also has the same soecs as my s7, it has an exynos processor. Would I be able to install the stock firmware of the Canadian variant of the s7 on my international version? Samsung pay has a beta in canada but It always says Samsung pay is not available on your device. So would spoofing the model number also work?
I have a Galaxy S8 imported from Singapore, which is a supported Samsung Pay country and everything works well, but I want to be able to use the US based version of the app that supports rewards and other things like on my wife's Verizon S8.
Any possible way to get this done, or is it CSC based? And if it is, would it even be possible to flash a US G950U (Qualcomm) based CSC on to an Exynos G950F model?
Thanks!
Different bands so I would not risk it.
