Hi all,
I'm a tad confused by ROMs for the SM-G900F.
I'm look for straight up vanilla android without touchwiz. Can someone point me to this please?
I had cyanogenmod on a previous galaxy s3, but from what i've read online it may not be the best way to go on s5?
Thanks in advance
I doubt your get a pure vanilla android rom for the Galaxy s5.
As for Cyanogenmod the Galaxy s5 CM12 is available, its as close to vanilla android as your likely to get.

Hi guys,
I'm new to android, but after doing some research, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to use the Touchwiz UI on the Samsung Galaxy S4 I intend to purchase in about a week or so. I have watched a couple videos regarding Cyanogen Mod and the SuperNexus Project that all have the rooted software and mod on a Galaxy S3 or other android device. Because the Galaxy S4 is such a new phone, I haven't see any videos regarding this process on that phone, and when searching it in Google, I find results with search titles that are geared towards S2 or S3 users. Could someone here please tell me if it's possible to install the SuperNexus mods on a rooted Galaxy S4, and if so whether it's the same process or if it is different. Thank you very much.

No offense to Samsung, but I kinda hate the touchwiz and all the other clunky components of the s5 running lollipop. Unfortunately I didn't know this when I bought my s5 for $800 or I would have gotten a nexus instead. I've been told by a friend that it's possible to get the firmware used on the nexus 6 (the original lollipop) on my s5 if I root. I'm not afraid of rooting, but I can't seem to find anything about getting the unaltered lollipop on my s5. I don't know if this is even possible, but material design is the reason for my existence at the moment and my s5 running lollipop doesn't have enough of it. Thanks in advance if anyone replies.
(btw, searching for "stock lollipop on s5" in google only gives me the samsung-altered firmware for the s5, so I was hoping someone here could help)
Its just a different rom (custom rom) like CM12, Blisspop, aicp, ressurection remix.... Search the s5 Unified development section here in s5 XDA and you'll find those roms which are completely stock like nexus roms
Hello everybody. Any chance for port Touchwiz from s7 to our s3? This ROM looks beautifull <3
I know kernel for touchwiz is hard to compile but we have good developers so they can try. I can pay for this rom and kernel. PRIV
First, we need working LP port of touchwiz that is funcional ;D
Hey there @LaweK,
What You are currently looking for is already available.
HyperRom -
Hands Down the best touchwiz rom for GT i9300,Im currently using it and couldnt be more satisfied.
However this rom is running on android 4.4.4, and not marshmellow, However the Android Version didnt affect me at all as it was impossible to guess that this rom is 4.4.4 due to the features and its UI, that almost completely mimicks the s7 marshmellow features.
Anyways, I Fully Recommend this Rom To Anyone who owns a Galaxy s3 and prefers the original samsung UI.

I don't like hyper-rom v6, I tested it two days and it was really buggy for me, android 4.4.4 is the past generation of android. I consider since lollipop is a different android so we need to work together to get a good lollipop or marshmallow tw rom for our device.

Hyper Rom is too slow :/ I like mm and lp because this roms was very fast

Well Different Opinions I guess, However HyperRom Was not at all buggy for me nor was it slow [Im also Still using it with no issues.]
Anyway There`s Also Another Touchwiz Rom Ive used Eclipse Rom Together With The Ultimate Marshmellow Mod. Just thought you should know, It is beautiful however proved to be more buggy for me.
Anyways I dont think we are to expect a Android Marshmellow Touchwiz Rom For The S3, Lets Face it This Phone is now 4 years old and we should be suprised on how much support it is still getting.
We Barely Have An Android Kitkat Touchwiz Rom, So we are to get a Lollipop Touchwiz Rom, before Marshmellow, So it Might Take Either a lot of time to happen or it may not happen at all.
Anyways CM13 and CM13.1 Is available right now that is with android marshmellow, So you can try that too if you want.

I once read that someone was porting lp 5.1.1 from a s5 rom. He said that it booted it with lots of bugs and it would not even be in alpha. I'm still searching for that forum I can´t find it . I'll give you a link when I find it :fingers-crossed:
Probably it willl be very hard to port S7 TouchWiz (too RAM consuming), it might be partially ported in future but I suppose it would be slow and buggy.
Can we solve the camera problem by upgrading s3 to s7?
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and I am looking for a good Rom.
Since I am new to Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Modding I have no idea which Rom fits my expectations:
Android 6.0.1
Samsung Launcher/Theme (like on Note 4 with Android 6)
stable/fast/efficient
minimum of bugs
everything works which is not hardware limited (!S-Pen support!)
I already found out that NFC is often not supported. Thats no problem.
Can someone recommend me a Rom?
They are all posted here .

Im abit confused and hoping someone can help out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and have always used the hlte CM12.1 nightly's - Are these the 'official' CM roms ? And the other custom roms in the development forum, are variants of the hlte but with their own themes or features?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...-3/development
Like the user above, I just want a 'stock' CM rom but with the best battery life and as few bugs. I dont even care for the S Pen. Its a minefield, I'm hoping someone could please explain
Also the last nightly was from hlte was on 2016-07-10, does that mean no more updates? If so, how could I apply updated android security patches?
My friend has a one plus one and he has the android 7.0 custom rom up and running. . One plus one and galaxy s5 uses the same processor... so i want to ask is when are we s5 users supposed to get android 7.0 custom rom??
I know its a really hard work to do but its xda i can expect impossible to become possible here...
Will have an official CM14 version.
Let's wait some month
Thats too much
I want to flash android 7.0 so bad its the first stock android ro. Which i am willing to flash..
Bcoz as productive as touchwiz

Touchwiz is no more productive than a custom rom like cm or something aosp with multiwindow features. Especially when u set long press of recents button to switch to last app. Becomes more productive in that regard.
Android 7.0 Nougat i want it
Aosp will be perfect. No needed to wait for cm 14 and an 7.0 rom is available for all the Samsung galaxy tab s (7.0 running on my tab s no major issues and smooth)
So if somebody can build an aosp N7 for galaxy s5 (I have g901f)
