Is there a ROM for the retail verizon version that has built in Profiles.?I've been away from my S5 for awhile so I haven't been following ROM development for about 6 months.. But now I want to add a 2nd user. I'm currently doing that with the Xposed multiuser module. But I'd like to update my ROM and find one if I can with profiles baked in. I've done some (lots of) searching, but have only found CM11 but as near as I can tell it can't be installed on the Verizon variant because of the locked boot loader. I don't need a lot of info just the name of any ROM's that I can then research myself.
No one is using/tried a rom with multi-user profiles on this device or is there not one?
Thanks for any help with this.
MOAR!!!!
Thanks, I'll check it out.
I've already asked this in q&a thread but thought it would provide better visibility / answer here. (Let me know if it feels like a spam, I'll either remove question from q&a thread or from here)
I want to know if project fi is like any other Sim card, plugin and use.
Or does it depend on ROM, gapps etc. Can I use fi on unlocked boot loader, rooted and no gapps phone?

Yes fi sim card is plug and play. I just came from at&t. Ported the number, plugged in the card and we were off. As far as what it works on, use fi compatible Roms (they say in the description) or any stock rom. I'm currently on 7.1.1 stock rooted (thus bootloader unlocked) and I have no issues at all.

Thanks, ROM requirement is really sad. I keep flashing a lot of ROMs.
Is it definitive that fi won't work with other ROMs ? I may try to get a Sim for a month and try few ROMs (if it's not definitive)

It works with most of them it seems. I think more do support it than don't. And I honestly don't know what happens with the ones that don't lol. Never tried it. Buy I've had Zero issues so far and loving it.
I am tried build custom rom. But too difficult for me.(from lack of sources...)
Can anyone develop customs rom for this tablet? I need your skills.
thanks.
Why do you need a custom ROM ?
EMUI 5.0 is probably the best interface on Android.
When xposed SDK24 will be available, you will be able to customized the tablet with the modules / frameworks you want.
Try to contact the developer @ www (dot) lineageos (dot) org to see if they plan to develop a Lineage OS 14.1 ROM for the Mediapad M3.
Hey everyone I just wanted to ask what this trebel label means, my lack of understanding and research tells me its kinda like OTA but for a more secure way to push updates to devices? being someone who has been using my device fine, am just a bit wonderous wondering what this Trebel means for my favorite ROM, Recovery and Kernel

for the moment, forget about it
it's very green and brings more troubles than solutions or any gain in particular. We will see how things develop with time.

Reading the article I'm still a bit confused by what all this would mean for the end user, I really enjoy AEX since I moved from RR and it seems like this is the "latest and greatest" type of situation, yeah okay launches are tough but when everything smoothed out what would this treble allow us all to do?

In reality, it means little to the end user. It could theoretically mean that ROMS require less development time, since all roms in theory are based on a single image.
You can kinda of see this with Google's OEM Partners. At Google I/O they listed a number of partner OEMs that were the first to use treble and for the most part they have released upgrades quicker and more reliably then there non-treble counter parts. This also can be extended to the modding community and in general means that porting roms and developing them on a new phone should be easier.
This is all part of a bigger push by Google to gain uniformity across devices. They started requiring security updates in there SLA's and now are pushing treble.
Trebles's All the benifits goes to vendor and stock rom users Rights. As we are Custom Rom users what are the benefits we getting from Treble Projects?

In the future you will be able to flash the custom treble image specific for your hardware, and then a GSI (Generic System Image) of your choice: RR, AEX, DU, Tesla, etc... that will be generic and able to be flashed in any hardware. That means that GSI development teams will be able to maintain their roms and apply the security fixes without the need to create custom rom versions for each hardware. So, finally we will have real OTA updates for custom ROMs. We all hope LineageOS 16 to have more or less this philosophy too. Well see it in September.
So, benefits for the user:
More ROMs to choose for your device (actually all of them!!!)
More frequent upgrades from custom GSI teams.

thanks you well explained ?️.
I have question, If we flashed treble once, are we able to flash any treble based rom, for example any devices treble roms

Once you have the Treble framework in place and have then flashed a device specific vendor image you can from that point on flash any GSI ROM. The thing to note is that so far NFound's Treble ROMs have included vendor image files in them which makes them device specific, you need to check for and remove any vendor image files from Treble ROMs created for other devices if you wish to try the ROM on a device other than what it was made for.

A treble rom is hardware specific, so you cant flash a treble rom designed for a different device. Only GSIs are compatible with multiple devices, and it is this way since the hardware dependant part is only in the treble rom.
Right now there are not fully treble roms available for the Axon7. The currently available roms labeled as treble are delivered and work as a usual full rom. The treble and system parts are still mixed up in those roms. It will take some time until we could enjoy a fully wotking treble rom in the Axon7.
Hi all,
I see sometimes that there are unofficial ROMs made of official ROMs such as Paranoid Android, that support devices such as our own before the original ROM creator does.
Now I know nothing about making ROMs, I'm guessing there of course is specific firmware and drivers for our phone as one example, unique to us.
Is it a support question, as in the official makers could support another phone (easily?!), but don't, because they don't have the device to confirm it works fine or may carry a brick risk etc?
How hard is it to make an "unofficial" ROM that supports specific devices features/hardware? Is it a case of merging differnt device firmware with another kernel and testing? (I'm sure some will be mad at my naivety)
Sorry for the newb question.
