[Q] Which S5 to buy to have the purest ROM?

Hello,
I have an S4 and am very happy about the ROM I am using (Dandroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361).
I am tempted to buy an S5, but only if I can root it to a very pure ROM (ie. as stripped of anything non google as possible).
Which hardware would you recommend buying, and for which ROM?

hello!
Since you are already using S4, you must be aware that S5 will too come loaded with the touchwiz interface. All variants will have the same interface. Since you are into custom ROMs, I would suggest you go with the Snapdragon based version of S5 because that version has more support from the great developers here at XDA than the Exynos based version.
Have a look at Xtrestolite rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
this rom is extremely debloated and I am at the moment using the Exynos version of this Rom and I am more than satisfied with it.
Good luck!

..

Every other Galaxy phone I've had I would have had similar worries, but TW on the S5 actually isn't that bad and is the first time I haven't wanted a custom Rom.

Wait for the Nexus 6!

Help with custom roms and galaxy gear

Hey guys, A new note 3 user here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SM-N900 as seen in my signature, As per my understanding its an exynos note 3 i guess. There are a few things i wanted to ask
1. Is there a custom rom which is more fluid and bloatware free than the stock one, i previously used Dr. Ketan's rom in my other note 3 and i was impressed with it. How is the MIUI one? Will i be able to connect my gear after installing a custom rom?
2. I checked out and found out that the exynos version doesn't have CM, paranoid android, AOKP and the likes. Do they exist for this phone? Or they don't due to the exynos chip?
3. I am unable to connect my gear using the Android wear app. Any solutions
Thanks for your help

First of all, get your information suited up...
If you are using a Galaxy gear(TIZEN OS), you will be able to connect it to every device you want, BUT; only with samsung firmware you will have full function(For example; Samsung apps, mediacontroller, s health etc), the clock is the most you will get . The galaxy gear doesn't work on android wear, it works on the samsung app...
If you have a gear live, Can't say much cause I don't use android wear yet, BUT: wrong choice buddy, you should have gone for the Moto 360

[Q] Is there hope for my SM-G900H?

Is there any hope on getting a custom rom for my SM-G900H? The device is laggy and overheating a lot, and it's not near as fast as my old phone (iPhone 5). Is there any way on installing CM on this version? Because I think most of the trouble comes from the TouchWiz interface.
thanks a lot guys

There is no CM Rom available for our G900H model.
Now you can use XtreStoLite or MIUI Rom for now..

Well as you describe you have problem try to
1.wipe data and reinstall data from scratch
2.install latest firmwares
3.since you have no problem rooting ... try stock rom with custom kernel... i guest it is the best solution

Thanks man! Now i am using the XtreStoLite and it is way better than the stock TouchWiz. Is there any other ROM besides those two that I can use on the G900H?

Stable Rom for SMT330

Hi All,
I recently purchased the Tab 4 (WIFI) SMT330 (UK), and didn't think there would be much problem rooting and installing various ROMS. It seems there is a real lack of ROMS out there for this device.
I am just wondering what the general consensus is, is there a stable ROM out there which is de-bloated? Or is it just a waiting game....the closest I can see is this rom but there seems to be a few bugs?

Someone gave me a Tab 4 WiFi and I've been trying to find ROMS and there is absolutely nothing out there. Blisspop was abandoned so the only thing left really is the stock 5.1.1 firmware and a custom kernel enabling the IR blaster.
I'm also not able to find a recovery for the T330NU either that seems stable.

Discuss NFC

hello
I have a little question
Why can't we use NFC on any rom
Even if anyone used our stock kernel ?
What is the main problem ?

No one ??

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's because not all versions of S3 neo have NFC, so when a developer makes a rom based in the one of a S3 neo without nfc, the rom will not support it. S5 mini port based roms have not NFC because that phone hasn't it either, and CM based roms have not the sources to make NFC work.

You can use the STOCK Rom if you really need NFC.

No sources are available for nfc in sd400 that's why they can't include nfc in roms.
