[Q] [REQUEST] CyanogenMod for Galaxy S5 Duos G900FD - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently I bought this phone, and now I'm looking for an CyanogenMod/AOSP ROM.
Is there already one? Or could someone create one.
I already tried myself, but without luck.
Thanks in advance

No custom roms or CM rom is available yet for G900FD.
Till now all we can do is Root it and use Xposed framework modules

Yes,
The ROM from normal S5 G900f is running, but without radio.
Difficult to insert the Multi-SIM part?

me 2
i am waiting for cm to be ported to my FD

I'm also waiting for it as I already tried Nameless ROM but Radio is not working.

How about kernel ? Can I use G900F kernel on G900FD ?

Yes, you can flash a ROM for the 900F onto 900FD, But then you will not have radio.
WLAN and everything is working. Just the missing RIL driver in the kernel.

Yep I'm desperate for a better ROM for my SG-900FD as well. Mine is so buggy.

Isn't it possible to flash the RIL files separately, just like we can do the modem flash separately in HTC devices?.

The part which is seperately flashable is the Firmware for the modem. what is missing in the ROM is the driver to access the modem. Recently I found a custom kernel for G900FD. so it should be possible to create a fitting kernel. Tomorrow I will post the link. then it would be good if someone who knows how to create will build the kernel.
Here the link for the kernel sources:
https://github.com/frogfire/G900FD-Kernel
I will try to build one again today.

It's me again,
Unfortunatley I didn't get it managed to compile the kernel.
Anyone who knows how to do? Or could maybe do that?
If needed I can provide a build environment.

Galaxy G900F themes/apps to G900FD Models
Hi,
May I know, can I use all of the support provided here (S5 G900F Themes & Apps Section) for S5 GM900F can also be flashed/installed/re-used in G900FD too?
Is the build.prop is same for both of these devices or is there any changes possible?
Lastly, Is it possible to make G900FD model working by using ROMs which are modified to work on G900F model?
I thought keeping the dual SIM Radio/Kernel (for Dual Sim Version) intact with no change in them should not create problem even if changing the ROM.
Please let me know if its wrong.

G900D
:crying: i want to buy this device the only reason i didn't do it because there no cm rom for it :crying: :crying:
i hope some day we can have it

+1

is it posible to install the original firmware of the G900MD in the G900FD to use the MD bands in LTE?

When you say "radio" is the phone line? Work 2 chip?
All I asked today, said that it does not work the rom G900F in G900FD.

Any difference between G900F and G900F Duos?

I just want to know if there's a difference between the G900F and the G900F Dual SIM variant? I mean I know the latter is dual SIM version, but is there any difference hardware wise? I want to know that whether the latter is compatible with custom kernels like Ktoonz or Faux etc? That's really important.
Thanks in advance.
PS: In case anyone is wondering, this is the model I am asking about, http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_duos-6272.php

I have dual sim G900FD. Hardware vise G900FD is dual sim and everything else is same as G900F. For custom kernels you wont be having much luck as it has to be device specific and probably all custom kernel are for G900F variant. You wont be able to flash custom kernel on G900FD model.
Cheers.

According to this comparison, the hardware are the same: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6272&idPhone2=6033
But you may need to check for the other info also, e.g. Device Type, Product Name, Hardware Revision... using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

If the hardware is same then why the kernels won't support the device?

Yes, Is the same hardware but there is a big difference the dual Sim , the kernel governs the connections, energy, the CPU and other things. With dual Sim all the process change is necessary an specific kernel. But is possible that in the future the developers cook a kernel for the g900fd.:thumbup:

Is it at least possible to use themes and apps that S5 G900F using. If kernel is the issue, in a dual sim version, is it possible to install Custom ROM for G900F and make only one sim to work rather than two? Or while installing Custom ROMs, just replace the kernel of Single SIM to Dual SIM leaving everything else same; will this be workable?

You have to look for specific G900FD custom roms and kernelsor mods/themes, don`t flash any G900F software or you might brick your phone.

[Q] Flash SM-G900F ROM to SM-G900T

Its possible to flash a SM-G900F rom to my SM-G900T.
I have an unlocked SM-G900T and live in Italy, so i would like to remove the branding and i dont need WiFi calling ect. If its possible, whats the best way to do this? I found some threads where its written that i shouldn't flash it via Odin. Where can i get the firmware else? I always used sammobile so far.
The reasons i want to do this:
* Remove branding (Bootscreen, Bootsound, ...)
* Get the updates earlier
* Remove unused applications from T-Mobile (WiFi Calling, WiFi Hotspot, ...)
Thanks for your help.
There is no way that no one in the entire world knows the answer to this...
I'd imagine you can and it'll work fine, but I won't chance it. Did you do it?
Yes it works
Hi. I flashed the Cyanogenmod 12.0 Alpha from the Galaxy S5 ROM Section, and im using it for a month now. Installing the Rom was easy and i had no problems. I installed CWM Recovery and installed the rom using zip from sdcard.
What about the opposite direction. G900T ROM to a G900F.
I live in Saudi Arabia and still a Tmo customer. I'd like to have the wifi calling feature, but I haven't seen it discussed to flash a G900T rom to a G900F.
Any chance it will work without complications?

Before I Flash, I Just Have to Know

Will the i9505 stuff work on the SPH-L720T? It's the branded Sprint version of the i9505 and I don't want to brick the damn thing. If there is anything I need to know, now would be a good time to tell me. I will point out that I have the 4G version (I think that's the only version made for this model anyway) and it is unlocked to work on all networks. Will I loose that if I flash a custom ROM?
Secondly, I am looking for a ROM that is as close to the stock experience as possible but doesn't have all the issues of stock! But with fixed stagefright issues, the widget draw on Touchwiz UI, and better power saving features.
Thirdly, recovery: what is the best one to use? I was thinking TWRP since I already have experience with that. Do I also need to match up an Odin version for my device?
I think that's about it for now. Thank's for the help!
If the code was jfltexx, it's safe to flash. Just check the ROM's thread for any special guides if available.
For stock-based, no idea. I don't have an I9505.
Sent from my GT-I9500
Thanks. Where do I find the code to tell?
On any I9505 development thread with jfltexx on their supported device list.
Sent from my GT-I9500
It's a rebranded I9505. They have identical hardware.
Your phone has a tri-band something. I don't know what it does, but it seems to be carrier related. That's the only difference between the normal SPH-L720, I9505 and your model.

SM-S820L compatible ROM?

I have come to understand there is very little support for the SM-S820L when looking for a custom ROM. Is there any ROM for a different model that would work on this device and not cause an error? Or is there any way to modify a ROM for a different model so it will work with the SM-S820L?
Im wondering about this too,i also have to SM-820L and havent been able to find notthing on it

Well, the links to download the ROMs suggested in that tutorial are both dead. What other ROM can I use for this device to then edit and make these radios work please?
