Hey, I just bought an SM-G900F, and I've installed custom ROMs on all of my previous andoird devices as well. But I'm just wondering now that Marshmallow is about to be released (1-3 months?) should I wait and update to that or install a custom ROM on this device. Thank you, would love some pros and cons from different perspectives.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum.
I've ordered my G2 which is expected to come next week.
I see that LG G2 stock has lot of good features but teams like Cynogenmod keep up with the speed of Google releasing latest version of Android. I was wondering if anyone has taken Cynogenmod and added features from stock rom to it.
If not, how diffcult is that? Is it as easy as getting those apk and installing or they need compiling build with specific options or specific kernal features to get them working.
Hello All,
been a Samsung owner since the Fascinate., all of which I have rooted and used a variety of custom roms.
I know the bootloader is locked on 900v version, my question is:
Has any progress been made on this front?? I would love to use the cm marshmallow
thanks in advance,

Hi guys! I'm searching android 6.1 ROM for my Galaxy Core Prime [SM-G361F]. You know where I can find it?
Thanks.
Nope. At the moment, there's no Marshmallow ROM (custom or official) for G361F.
Yeah we have to wait.
Did someone start to make them already?
This would be great, Marshmallow looks better than the cancerous (my opinion) Lollipop firmware, but I think that actually no developer want to really work on this model. Bringing root and a recovery was the minimum, then to go further you can install XPosed for custom builds but creating custom or adapting stock ROMs? Nah.
After a recent disaster with my S5 I replaced it with a Note 3 n9005.
Am very happy with the phone but it has so much potential to be better. Are there any 7.1 roms that are actively being updated and is there any chance of official builds any time soon.
I would love to put 7.1 on this phone but don't want to get stuck with bugs I have to put up with for extended periods.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Official 7 for Note 3 . No never according to Samsung .
roms that are actively being updated

There are always bound to be bugs when dealing with unofficial software like ports or ROMs, they're not perfect. As for an official Nougat release for a 4 year old phone that doesn't even have an official Marshmallow release? I highly doubt it. I would suggest just sticking with stock.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I know Samsung will never upgrade this phone to nougat or above but the custom rom community have done some amazing things bringing the latest versions of android to older phones when their manufacturers stop supporting them to make you buy their latest an greatest phone.
When I asked about official builds I was referring to Resurrection Remix or Lineage LOS 7.1 builds which get weekly updates. There will always be bugs I know but weekly builds help to fix them.

If I may suggest, I would try out a Note 7 port. I know it's not Nougat but in my opinion, Marshmallow with the Note 7 features is just as good and a lot of people have tested them out and are really stable. But as for more Nougat ROMs, RR and Lineage I think are the only options but I haven't tried them myself.
There is an official Note 5 Nougat rom out, so it should be possible to port that. We just have to wait for someone with the knowledge and interest to do it.
I'm running the Note 7 Phronesis Marshmellow rom, and I highly recommend it if you don't want to wait for a Nougat rom.

Thank you am currently trying the Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2 and am liking it very much very smooth and seems very stable.
And if i'm reading the forum correctly there should be a V6 version becoming available in the next couple of days.
thanks for the recommendation this rom will do very nicely until or if someone ports the N5 nougat rom which we can only hope for.

well, I advise you to download and flash a custom NN Rom. which most of them are away better than the stock one
First: you need to flash a custom recovery
Second: download any custom ROM you like, for me I am using SEP 8.5, a Galaxy.
Third: Flashed it to your phone.
Fourth: if you don't know how to do all above. then you should watch some youtube videos.
Note: be careful to not break your phone.

If you don't want to install custom rom for some reason like custom roms come with few or many bugs. , I advise you to update to android 6.0.1. Custom roms come with few or many bugs. As for me, I flashed a custom roms as I don't care about the bugs as they only affect features that are somewhat not important.
