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,
Colklink

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 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.
Hey XDA, I've been reading through the forums on threads regarding Galaxy A5 SM-A510F (2016)
There are some threads gathering up roms but as this is my first time, apart from messing up a locked S2, I would appreciate some pointers as to the most acknowledged and thoroughly made roms. I'm rooting to see if this phones CPU can be used better than how Android 6 Marshmallow currently is.
I have read countless rom flashing guides and am pretty certain i am able to successfully flash stuff onto my phone, what i need to know is which roms to go for.
I appreciate any comments what so ever, cheers!
Welcome to XDA! There aren't really any roms for the a510f unfortunately. The only ROMs seem to be deodexed rooted touchwiz ROMs. Here's a list of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...s-samsung-a5-2016-thread-knowed-roms-t3474745
No cm or aosp for your phone yet.

Hey @arathergreendoid, thank you for your reply!
I think i have mixed up some stuff, i hope you can clarify.
I have stumbled upon something called CF-auto-root. Now after reading through that im a bit confused.
Is a ROM necesarry for rooting a phone? It seems to me ROMs re vamp phones in different ways, but that with auto root, it stays with the same system but rooted.
Thanks
Thats right. You don't have to install a custom ROM after rooting. You'll still be on Samsung's stock skin, but you can install xposed etc to get quite a few features of custom ROMs.
I've asked a couple of questions in various threads but haven't received answers, so I'll try again in a dedicated thread.
1. I want to unlock bootloader, root, and install a custom ROM (Lineage). For the unlock step, is there any disadvantage to doing the official unlock if I don't need OTA update notifications for stock ROM?
2. Are Lineage and ViperOS the only custom ROMs available for this phone?
3. Are there any features in the stock ROM that I would lose going to a custom ROM because they require something inherent to ZenUI? I remember on my S4 some features would not work when I switched from Touchwiz rom to vanilla android.
Thanks
Seeing as a lot of post talking about custom roms as far as aosp based are old and talk about locked bootloader.. see as the bootloader has been unlock or can be. are any roms here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development usable to us that have unlock loaders? im looking for a vanilla aosp rom and a permissive kernel in the Lollipop or Marshmallow (if it wont relock my loader) department. any valuable input greatly appreciated.

Yes many of those ROMs are very good. The ones that will work with the n900v normally will list it in the opening post.
I have personally used this ROM for months and have been very pleased with it!

It is a nougat ROM, requires you to use a special recovery and you need to use the T-Mobile ( TMO )version of the ROM.
