I have the Bell Canadian variant of the Samsung S5 and I can't seem to figure out what roms will work on it? Every rom seems so specific when they post the variant it runs on to the point where I don't think I have any options to install any roms. I will settle for standard aosp or cyanogenmod roms.

Can anyone please tell me the best ROM to use to get as close to the Lollipop UI and features. I am using the Galaxy S4 I337 AT&T with safestrap. Most ROMS that I have tried will not work or wont boot up. Is there any Lollipop ROM's for the 9505 that will work, cause I know that some roms will work for the I337. Thanks averyone!

No lollipop will work until it's released officially for the ATT S4. Then safestrap will needed updated to work. Then you'll have a custom ROM with lollipop.

What about a port from the 9505? I know I cannot get the official Lollipop, but something that looks similar.

No. There doesn't exist a lollipop tw kernel that will work with your bootloader.

There are GPE lollipop ROMs for the s4 (I'm using both) but they won't work on safestrap.

So far the closest thing I can find to Lollipop is Goldfinger 9.0. It is a pretty nice ROM and WiFi works as well!
Hey everyone,
I was wondering is there a stock touchwiz rom out there I can flash on my sm-g900w8 (canadian variant) The only roms I see are for the sg-g00f. Am I following this all correctly or missing something?
Thanks!

Not officially, no. You can however try ROMs intended for the G900F as both phones have same hardware afaik. Ofcourse make a nandroid backup first and then go try out AllianceROM (best ROM ever)

You can't put an international ROM on the G900V. Different hardware for the phones. You will brick your G900V.

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.

Okay, got it. I can only use ROMs from this section.
Hi guys I'm new to android and rooting and this seems to be really a noob question. I am wondering if it is possible to flash galaxy s7 to Android Marshmallow rom just like Nexus phones.
Thanks
You mean go back to stock touchwiz firmware? Yes you can. Go to Samobile, download the firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

Nexus phones run stock aosp roms, if that's what you're asking about, it depends on the phone having unlocked bootloader and root, then you would need a stock Android rom for your specific device, you can't just download any rom and flash it, you kill/brick your phone that way.

Yes thats what i mean.
Thanks for reply. I know there have been several custom roms in the rom forum. So i just want to check if theres a way to flash google rom like nexus.
If we can flash custom roms on galaxy s7 (of course rooted), why cant flash nexus rom?

Because the custom roms are based on Samsung touchwiz. An AOSP Rom needs to be made for the specific device. And that means the developers needs the sources for the phone. In this case the S7. And they are not public on the exynos devices, unlike the Qualcomm. So it's a try and failure. That's why it most like will never be a stable release of AOSP on exynos ( and Qualcomm since they have locked bootloader)
