As of now, which is the best ROM for the G900H? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been looking around, mostly interested in speed and battery life, I love lollipop as well.

There is no custom ROM on Lollipop for G900H model not available yet.

Can I install stock via odin and then root?

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9500 Downgrade

is there a way to downgrade Android 4.4.2 to Android 4.3 on the i9500 i need this urgently. (Stock Official Samsung Touchwiz)
Have you tried downloading the 4.3 ROM for your phone's region from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flashing it with Odin? If you are not sure how to do that, you should be able to find lots of info in the forum explaining how.
BTW, questions should be posted in the Q&A forum.
Best wishes

If you flash the 4.4.2 stock rom then there's no way you can downgrade your phone .

You can still downgrade your phone , by using a Custom rom. But if you flash a stock 4.4.2 STOCK then you can no longer downgrade yoUR phone into 4.3 STOCK rom via odin.

No, none of these are official yet, but rumors said we will be getting 5.0 after new year. I hope they are true.

is this guide to root lolipop legit?

I noticed the lollipop update is now available for the note 3. However I still want to keep root. I searched google and found this guide, but I'm not sure if its legit or works.

Not sure, but did you see Hsbadr post in android dev...it's a rooted stock lollipop rom
Pay close attention...that is for the N900 International N3 that does not have a locked bootloader.

It's not the international N3, as those are modeled "N900n" where n is a number. The N900 is a SIM unlocked US variant that works on GSM only carriers. (All US variants are N900(x) where x is a letter representing the carrier. No Carrier leaves x blank.)
*EDIT*
Just to reiterate, this won't work on the N900V
The point is it does not work for Verizon or Att with locked bootloaders.

If I understand correctly there is currently no way to install Janine ROM of you are already on lollipop right? I just bought a used note three but haven't gotten it yet to see which firmware is on it. In coming from a g2 where there were plenty of ways to root

If you're already on lollipop than you cannot root or flash any roms. You need to be on either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 already rooted with safe strap installed to install the rooted stock rom
Oh so jasmine ROM is basically stock 5.0 with root? So basically I just need to flash his ROM and I'm good to go? I'm running 4.4.2 and have safestrap installed

Custom ROM

Alright, so I FINALLY got my S5 Rooted, but now I just need a custom rom. Which one in your opinion is a better option and why? I've heard cyanogenmod is good but I can't seem to find that in Lollipop at all so I either missed it or it's not available yet, so i'm lookin for some other opinions.
SIde note: I myself got use to Lollipop, is there a way I can upgrade to that and still keep root?

We have a locked bootloader so you are limited to the Roms we have here. Yes you can upgrade and keep root. Find the rom you want to run first. This will help you decide which lollipop firmware you want to run. Roms found here.

Alright, thanks.

Galaxy G900F: ROMs With Safestrap?

Hello guys. I'm new with android, but I figured out many things. Recently I found some Russian guide which says that I can install any G900F custom ROM wits SS support at my G900V. So I am wondering if it's true?

I am on OptimalRom 15-5 (it's OG5 based). But I have some issues, so I was thinkibg about some international rom if it possible.
Normally you can't use custom rom with SS, only TW rom. If they said you could, maybe it's not a custom rom, but tweak TW rom. It's not possible to run custom rom with locked bootloader device.

No, G900F and G900V are not the same, you need to find a G900F TW rom that the dev said it's working for your your G900V, which I don't see any.
