Hi Guys,
I used to have the Nexus 5 and loved the smooth stock Android experience but it broke so I decided to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active since it is much more rugged. I am very unsatisfied with the Samsung experience so far since my Nexus seemed much smoother and stable. I've played around with rooting and custom ROMs a few years ago with my Samsung Galaxy S2 so I am somewhat familiar/comfortable to install ROMs but I don't find any for the S5 Active. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction to find one? Or else I'm willing to do/extract whatever is required to build one. I'm also opened to trying to build my own custom ROM but would need to be pointed in the right direction of a tutorial or guide to get started. Any help will be greatly appreciated because I absolutely love the hardware but hate the software on this phone, maybe that's why Samsung sales are slipping. So many pointless bloatware!

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction at selecting a nice rom for my Atrix. I have a UK retail Atrix, which i unlocked the bootloader using IHOP, and rooted using fastboot method. I am currently running The darkside, but i want to try something different. Please bear in mind i am new to this, so i need help sometimes. I tried flashing Wet Dream, which resulted in a boot loop, and i had to restore via CWM. My phone is unlocked to any carrier. I thought about CM7, but i would like an up to date version. I've heard about Red Pill, but would like more info if possible. Another concern, is about my ram after flashing, and where can i access ramfix? Any help, suggestions, recommendations and links would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Welcome on XDA
You have to decide on ur own wht functionality you want from a rom.Check the development section see the features of different roms and select a rom that can fulfill ur requirements.For ramfix and other question see

I recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy S5 New Edition (SM-G903M), and i would like to flash a CM version to it. The thing is, I was unable to find a build made specifically for this cellphone, and i would like to know if there is a CM for it somewhere, or what version i could use without running any risk of harming my new cellphone?
Please, help us!

I forgot to mention there's no CM for it (yet?) Root is available 2weeks and TWRP.me will show a custom recovery for 903f 903m and maybe more devices
Root I've done , I wanted to CyanogenMod or other lighter custom rom. :crying:
root 903m?

Is there any way to get Android Lollipop on the Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L? I have read about custom ROM's but I still don't know much about them and can't find any for this model. If anyone has found or created a way to flash a custom ROM onto this device, please let me know.

I also own this device, and unfortunately there is very limited support in the custom Rom department. If there was to be a lollipop Rom, someone would either have to port one somehow, or build it from source. Given the development rate for this device, I don't predict it happening anytime soon, sorry to say.
not going to happen
i have been trying since february the answer i got from my carier was samsung is contracted not to support this device thats why that is so hard to find samsung told me to take the device to bestbuy to force update if they could probably irrelavent but maby it helps
SM-S820L Got the Shaft!
Yup! This seems to be the future for the SM-S820L, or lack of future I should say.
I too have the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L. I have spent lots of hours scouring the internet looking through every android related forum in hopes of eventually finding someone that is undertaking much needed programming to build a custom ROM for this CorePrime version.
If you are looking for a custom recovery to use. I can point you to my and others posts over at Needrom. The best I can offer is an unofficial TWRP release, but it DOES work! It does for myself at least and I am no Android Guru whatsoever.
I guess I am not allowed to post Links in any of my posts yet because I am still a NOOB on these forums. I'll PM you with some direction my friend!
I cannot take credit for coming up with any of that software. I simply rooted around long enough to compile a collection of tools and files that worked for me to modify the Recovery of my SM-S820L.
:good: Feel free to shoot me a Private Message on this site or to my personal Email....... [email protected]
I would love to help out as much as I can with modding your phone. Like I said, I'm not a proffesional but I have read up on the procedures used and been successful with my own Galaxy Core Prime:laugh:
Hello there. I was wondering if it is possible to port that to this variant. Also is it possible to port J5 marshmellow rom to g361f? Since they both have the same CPU right? I know the screen resolution is higher on the j5 but wouldn't that be fixed by adjusting the DPI size? I am new here and i don't understand much about android stuff. Would someone be nice and explain me a little bit?
Thank you.
Hi,
I don't want to be negative but no developers want to work on this model: it's a stock model, hard to modify and not interesting and popular enough to work on.
Personnaly I also got this model and one of my main project is to create a modification of the pre-rooted firmware for this model. But the problem are:
-I am new to application coding, even modifying the XML of an app will be a pain in the a××
-Deobfuscating, dexing, building, reconstruct...
Horrible, just horrible. Creating or even Re-Creating a ROM is everything except easy and funny.
-If I succeed (in 3 years, maybe) this will only be for my build (AOG1) because I'm too lazy to work on other builds and I would discontinue it quickly because I would prefer buying another smartphone with more available and interesting ROMs
So be like me, stop hopping.
I saw a thread what exactly you looking for.just search a littlebit around

hi guys , i wonder if any one out there is interested in making lineage OS for the galaxy j5 prime variants, its been a while since it was released and i'm so disappointed from it not having that much attention by the custom ROM's developers.
please if any one is working on a new ROM contact me if you need a beta tester or any kind of help.

What do you mean disappointed that custom ROM devs haven't done lineage???
Lineage is available for nearly all devices now.
Just because nobody has the time for j5 prime doesn't mean that the devs aren't working on it for other devices.
It's not there fault they are just supporting different devices.
If it is that much of trouble then you might want to think about just changing device
