Hey all,
I had a quick question. I just rooted my telus Samsung galaxy s5 (w8) and now am searching for custom roms. I do have LTE device so would installing these international roms make my data speed slower say only 3g? Can I still use LTE, 4g,3g and so on? The roms im looking at are alliance, omega, and shohat. I cant seem to find whether my device will still have LTE functions after installing new roms.
Thanks
I am currently on omega 2.0 on my Telus s5. I was on alliance befor that. Omega rom will wipe your internal SD I think alliance does to but fixes are coming. I have had better luck with the omega rom so far. It seems as though I am getting LTE speeds but the icon is an 'H' or 'H+' so I am actually just looking for a fix for that as we speak. I use the omega kernel and battery life is amazing I am currently at 21 hours on this battery with 8 hours on screen time. Best of luck hippie I could help.

Hello everyone,
So I really want to make my S4 a google edition because the batter will be alot better. However, the only thing stopping me is Samsung awesome Camera. Any ideas? What you all think is it worth it??
Thanks
Definitely go with the i9505. You have the option to flash a GE rom if you really want to and also all the custom Touchwiz roms on offer.
I think you may be able to flash Touchwiz roms on the i9505G but all roms in the i9505 forums flash straight on to the phone without needing any modification to updater-script or kernels.
and IMO Touchwiz is actually really good on battery, certainly better than the GE rom's I've tried but of course that's subject to use
You definitely have more options with the 9505. And actually the ROMs aren't that great. From my experience TW ROMs have the best battery life from all ROMs, GE and CM included.

Thanks for the input that is what I was expecting!
Can you guys clarify which versions are which.

The i9505G is the Google Edition of the SGS4. At this point it is only able to run Google Edition ROMs which are pretty much stock Android. There are ways to get CM working but you have to modify things to get it working Afaik there are some people working on a TW port for this version.
The i9505 is the official Samsung version which runs TW. But it can also run Goolge Edition ROMs and AOSP based ROMs e.g. CM or PA without any modifications.

I have an international version of the S4, the jfltexx version. I justflashed it with Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM.
Is my device considered i9505G now?
If i want to install a custom recovery, must I get versions that are for i9505G? (I am assuming i9505 version will not work too well now)

No it stays an i9505. The i9505G has a different bootloader etc. So only by flashing a GE ROM on an i9505 you won't get an i9505G.

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and have very little experience with ROM's, please help while you can.
I have been testing and trying many ROM for my Galaxy S4 PH-L720, a few of them I think are great and others were just not what I expected. but I have installed this ROM which I love, I think it is the most close to perfect ROM out there at least that I know of. This ROM is called
(ROM][XXUGNF1][4.4.2] S5 RivalStorm V2.1 [SLIM][S5 Apps/Features) Everything works flawlessly chi I have not been able to accomplish with any other ROM. the only disadvantage is the the Model Number is GT-I9505 and it is only CDMA enable, I would love to use this on any carrier in the US (Sprint, Verizon, Tmobile).
Question:
Is it possible to install extra Modules or a different Kernel to have this ROM also be GSM, LTE, eVDO?
Are there any ROM like this one that support these features?
I have come across a few but they are all international.
Why are the developers not creating something like this for US carrier based phones (Galaxy S4,S5)?
Thanks in advance to all.

Hi,
I'm interested in getting a ROM for my Canadian Note 3 N900W8. My friend only pointed me to the Cyanogenmod website and I have no idea which rom to get. I'm looking in the HLTE section. I see nightlies with a risk that they may be unstable but under stable or milestone, there are no roms to download, and the only other option is snapshot. I've already rooted my note 3, and I'm mainly interested in getting the the GPS working with the note 3.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I use cm12.1 by temasek. Great rom. Nothing is bugfree now days but for me it works far more stable than stock rom. You can try.
Where can i get cm 12.1 (lollipop) for my note 3 sm-n900w8 hltecan, can anybody help me?
Hey! I was just going to post a question about the GPS issues I've been having with TW custom lollipop ROMS. I've tried s6 ports, note 4 ports , edge ports and all of them seem to have GPS issues. I downloaded GPS test and could never get a fix on my location . I figured it was a ROM issue so I went from ROM to ROM until I found xposed deathnote ROM for n900w8 which after flashing would acquire a signal right away . After restoring all my apps I went to flash a custom kernel so I could flash Viper and this is where I found the issue. As soon as I rebooted I lost my GPS so I started flashing kernels and finally found fulgor which not only fixed my GPS issues but is compatible with Viper.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just the custom kernels not being compatible with n900w8 hardware but the fulgor kernel has been the only one that works.
FYI I had to re flash DOC firmware for my GPS to work . Before that didn't matter what kernel I used I had no lock on my location .
Also if I did a clean install no titanium backup restore my GPS did work with those other ports. I'm not sure if it's a combo of flashing xposed , custom kernel and restoring that was causing my GPS issues. .
Sorry I couldn't provide you with a definite reason why our n900w8 are having these GPS issues, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Thanks a ton! I've been using XDA for years, rooted/modded an S2, Note 10.1 2014 and my daily driver n900w8. Like how nice and easy CM is great I can do it on an old S2. Still battle with GPS, the unified daemon, etc., but generally sticking with Lollipop. I was considering the Deathnote ROM, but I've never seen the fulgor kernel suggestion before. Will have to check it out. CM 12.1 had much better cell signal and performance, but some other stability issues. Always a trade off!
Do you notice better battery life when the GPS lock works? Still have working NFC with deathnote? Seems like some hit and miss for people. Thanks!

This is the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3117018
(Xposed) DeathNote Rom Based On darklord for N900W8
My battery is always horrible when in use but great when it's in standby so can't really say. As far as I have tried no LP rom has a working NFC for N900W8 until Samsung releases our kernel source code (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) The developer for the Fulgor kernel has stopped development and is focused on audax kernel so not sure if fulgor will give you the best results. I'm too scared to start flashing kernels again since I have my phone set up perfectly which took me hours of restoring and tweaking lol.. gl

This is one I've been eyeing. Just haven't jumped in yet. Back on stock 5.0.1 when I had a problem flashing a different ROM.
Oddly the stock ROM battery seems to have improved in the last week or so. Standby is also great.
Before that CM 12.1 was better until I got too many stability issues and crashes...
May try it this weekend. Don't use NFC much but would like to implement NFC tags, which is why I'm holding back too.

Hello everyone!
First thread here. Been a long time lurker and been grabbing and flashing custom ROMs for the nexus 5 until i switched to the note 4 (beautiful device, really). Well, since i cant post in the development thread due to my status as a new member, i thought kd post my inquiry here.
Im looking for custom ROMs for the 910c variant. I prefer to keep the TouchWiz features so AOSP ROMs, even though great, are not what im looking for. Glamor rom ported from the s6 seems very tempting, but being based on 5.0.1 (2?) Im a bit skeptical about it. My 910c is running on stock unrooted 5.1.1 which is great in terms of performance and battery life and id appreciate it if i could be directed on custom ROMs based on this build (any sign of a note 5 port? That would be ideal).
My problem with the 5.0.x builds, apart from the various bugs that the amazing, most talented devs have surely taken care of is that i read somewhere in the development forum (exynos) is that if i make a backup of my phone (running on 5.1.1) from kies and restore it on a custom ROM based on 5.0.x, well, im gonna have problems.
So....any recommendations?
All help would be appreciated
base on s6 port... i can recommend 2...
Sixperience http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-s6-port-v1-0-stable-t3190233
Glamor http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/glamour-s6-rom-t3136786
glamor got a screen freeze problem... but not everyone got it... I prefer sixperience for stable usage. Sixperience dev are currently porting N5 apps. When will it be release... cant say but he has make a great progress.
Base on 5.1.1

thats all right now...
Im using Sixperience Rom..
Known bugs:
- touch key light not working
- Fingerprint
Best rom I've used so far...
Thanks a lot guy! I'll check out wanamlite and erobot! Hoping glamor rom and sixperience get upgraded to 5.1.1
hi all
I've always used a stock rom for the note 4
I want to have full access on the phone (in order to be able to control network access, for instance for apps forcing LTE mode (advanced network settings) or for battery saving apps that cannot shut down data when needed)
I tired to root my stock rom but that wasn't enough for those apps (forcing LTE or battery saving apps )
Can some tell me which custom rom make that possible ?
thanks
Hello Everyone,
I've tried almost every N7 port for Note 3 and non of them are compatible.
Not sure if anyone knows or have a way to make those International N7 work on our N900v.
Thanks.
I know that feeling, many roms to install and test but difficult to decide with which to stay
I'll just tell you what to look for
Roms with aroma installer
Installers for camera n3, n4, s5 to select the one you like
Be able to choose the variant of note 3 from aroma
Additional features
rom control
Emojin ..... etc
All or almost, n7 roms work quite well on the n900v, with 4g functions
Roms n7 I've tried phronesis aryamod darklord
There are many roms, just install one and test for a week or two, if you are happy in that time stay with that
see you
Have you flashed the AryaMod ROM? I use it as a daily on my N3 (vzw)

There you go bud
I've flashed the Darklord ROM for the Note 3 onto my Verizon Note 3, although I'm using T-Mobile now. My 4G LTE works fine and everything else, though I had to install some fixes found in the forum of that post. I choose the T-Mobile CSC instead of Verizon.

You've used phronesis? It looks like our Verizon n900v isn't supported. Do you know of a Verizon port?
