[Q] Paranoid Android PLEASE - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I must apologize, I've spent about 3 hours on this forum trying very hard to avoid posting. I am new to flashing a custom rom and I finally decided to go with Paranoid Android because it looks awesome. After 3 hours I have been unable to figure out if that is even possible for my phone, the SM-G900T. I'm very frustrated, and I assume this a very simple yes or no process, but I cannot for the life of me understand why I have been unable to find the answer.
tldr: can I flash Paranoid Android custom rom to my GS5?
Thank you very much.

[Q] best way to prepare rooted 2.2 for custom roms

I have a droid 2 and i'm using it as a wifi-only phone because I don't wanna pay 85 a month to never talk on it or use mobile data.
I've already rooted it and installed ClockworkModRecovery, what would be the best upgrade path to a custom rom? I see something about sbf's and gingerbread and the information seems rather scattered. I cant even figure out which roms are still actively used...Last time I rooted a phone it was an Optimus V.
I appreciate any help I can get.
it says android version 2.2
system version is 2.3.20.a955
(oh and if there is a better guide out there for this that i missed lemme know, im only posting this after spending 2 days trying to figure this out with little luck)
Here's a list of active ROMs. If you need more help let us know.

[Q] ROM Help

Hi guys, I have been looking in the Android development part of the forum for a week now and I need help in finding the ROM suitable for me. I have flashed about eight roms in the past week and i can't find the 'one'
I need your help
I'm looking for a ROM that looks like a nexus device (UI), I have tried the Google Edition but it was too laggy, but I want to be able to customise the device fully with pre-built settings like CyanogenMod or ProBAM. For example, I don't like the stock messaging app on the Google Edition ROMS, I actually prefer the TW layout, and so it would be nice to customise that. I also want a ROM that doesn't take up too much storage, so I am future proofed, and finally I want a ROM that has good battery life.
I like the look of CyanogenMod but there aren't any stable releases and there are only nighty builds, which I'm apprehensive about, because my phone is my daily driver. I'm also confused about people saying get CyanogenMod 10.2 instead of 10.1, but when I go to the Wiki page, there is no mention of 10.1 or 10.2...?
it would be great if someone could help me

[Q] L7 - Stock Jelly Bean Root / Stable Rom Recommendations

EDIT: Used Framaroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276) and it seems to have worked fine. Think I am also happy with this stock rom. Sorry for making this post without taking enough time first.
Hi,
Just got an L7 (P700) today and been looking around at Roms but nothing really grabbed me. Installed CWM but then decided to just update to JB using the LG Support Tool.
Firstly I can't seem to find any details on rooting the JB update. Is it just the same "What you desire!" tool or can I not find it for a reason?
Secondly, I can't really find any decent recommendations for roms because the people asking are normally incomprehensible. I would like a rom that is going to be stable with everything working and will not need updating. Ideally it would be CM but any JB rom that is stable I would be interested in. Most of them seem to be in quite heavy development with frequent updates and I would feel I was missing out by not getting them.
Sorry for wasting peoples time with these simple questions and thanks for any responses.

Newcomer looking for some assistance

Hey XDA, I've been reading through the forums on threads regarding Galaxy A5 SM-A510F (2016)
There are some threads gathering up roms but as this is my first time, apart from messing up a locked S2, I would appreciate some pointers as to the most acknowledged and thoroughly made roms. I'm rooting to see if this phones CPU can be used better than how Android 6 Marshmallow currently is.
I have read countless rom flashing guides and am pretty certain i am able to successfully flash stuff onto my phone, what i need to know is which roms to go for.
I appreciate any comments what so ever, cheers!
Welcome to XDA! There aren't really any roms for the a510f unfortunately. The only ROMs seem to be deodexed rooted touchwiz ROMs. Here's a list of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...s-samsung-a5-2016-thread-knowed-roms-t3474745
No cm or aosp for your phone yet.

Hey @arathergreendoid, thank you for your reply!
I think i have mixed up some stuff, i hope you can clarify.
I have stumbled upon something called CF-auto-root. Now after reading through that im a bit confused.
Is a ROM necesarry for rooting a phone? It seems to me ROMs re vamp phones in different ways, but that with auto root, it stays with the same system but rooted.
Thanks
Thats right. You don't have to install a custom ROM after rooting. You'll still be on Samsung's stock skin, but you can install xposed etc to get quite a few features of custom ROMs.

Need help with debloating SM-T380

Ok, I have a T380 and I am enjoying it. What I don't like is the lack of development. So, in my infinite wisdom I have decided to try and do something about it. First step in this journey for me is debloating and lightening the stock Pie ROM. There is a debloated stock ROM available for the 380, but it is Oreo and I want Pie. I have started doing research, but most of the stuff I have found so far is from back in the dark ages of kitkat and such. I am competent in computers, both linux and windows. I have rooted and installed custom ROMs on most of the devices in my house. I am thinking I need to use kitchen or such. Not sure where to start or what direction to head. Any advice or help would greatly appreciated.
Update. I do not want to 'debloat' I want to actually remove/uninstall everything I can. I think that 9 gigs is just crazy for an OS. I am looking to try and get it as slim as I can with out going full custom just yet
