Could this be possible?
I tried cm12 today and...seriously...is so ****ing smooth!
I like to have as my daily ROM...but camera on TW is a lot better and I kinda like S health (not a must)...but somehow is there a way to make these work?
I had that question when I first installed CM 12 ROM, too. But unfortunately it is not possible to use them on custom ROMs because they only work on official ROM ( Touchwiz ).
Hello.
I decided to ask you guys here because I didn't find an answer for my question anywhere else. So, I'm a proud owner of i9505 with the newest version of Imperium ROM installed. I'm not staying with this ROM for too long, cause I dont't like TW too much, I plan on switching to something like clean CM12, just have to make sure few issues (like the "Cannot connect to camera" error) are gone.
Howewer, lately alot of my friends have been getting Xperia phones, and while they don't have the best hardware, I'm jealous of their UI. I love it. It looks and works good while being pretty simple and straightforward. For last few years I had i5830 (Galaxy Ace) as my main phone, and while it was old as ****, I remember it had like every single UI framework ported to it. I loved that. Now I'd really like to switch to something Xperia-themed (or a full port, if possible) on my i9505. Is there any decent ROM that would do the thing?
Thanks in advance.
There may be some very old experia themed roms around the forums. But those might be kitkat or jellybean.
You could use themes or layers (depending on the rom) to get the desired look, or even something better.
As for the rom, if you want a bareboned rom, go for CM12 (Optimized, Sabermod), the AOSP project rom or Slim roms. If you want features, try Resurrection Remix, AICP nightlies, Candy5, Team Radium, etc.
Hi,
With RR, i like and use this one :http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/cm12-xperia-z4-lollipop-theme-theme-t3067163
Hi guys,
Apologies if this question has been covered before, but I can't seem to find an answer in my searches.
I'm looking for a Touchwiz ROM for a G900I that is or can be themed to look identical (or as close as possible) to the UI of an AOSP ROM, like CM12 or Google Nexus devices.
Until recently, I was happily using CM12.1. The only problem was that Bluetooth audio was not working very well, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it (it's been a known issue for a number of months but hasn't yet been fixed in nightlies or in any other CM based ROMs).
Ideally, I'd really like the native stability of a Touchwiz ROM, but with an AOSP ROM. Is this possible? Happy to use root and Xposed to get the job done, if that is what is required.
Thanks!
Hi all, thank you so much for you suggestions and kind attention.
I'm gonna buy this phone soon, I'm new here, I would like to know which is the best ROM suggested here.
For best I mean especially bugless, stable, well optimized, and possibly updated.. what is your experience about? Thanks for sharing
xXx Rom by @xXx ... more to stock rom... always reply/update/discuss about bug etc.. simple stable fast smooth rom...
SM G900F 6.0.1 xXx 4.7.1 Boeffla Beta 5
thank you a lot for answer. I'm a bit confused since Boeffla Beta 5 is just a kernel and I need all package of MM 6.0.1 with hopefully the Boeffla Beta 5 kernel. Where can I find it?
Maybe I've to install any ROM with MM and then install the kernel? (And then gapps).
Thank you a lot

[BIG RANT START] DON'T READ IF YOU'RE TOO SENSIBLE
All roms, they're almost the same. People get the sources, compile it, and release it.. and they all looks like the same.
Every non-stock-based (TW) rom looks and runs almostly identical.. They have almost the same functions, almost the same stability, they share the same "device tree" and kernel.
Even boeffla's kernel has no new features for AGES. And the "developer" just blames Samsung and wash his hands.. (and I have "donated" for his app)
I'm sick of no specific S5 stuff, improvements FOR s5 or performance tweaks FOR s5. I bet they mostly don't even USE a S5 anymore.
Even the ****ing microfone has ultra-low recording volume for AGES and no one cares. They just COMPILE what they DOWNLOAD from others and "release" it here.
And there are people THANKING them for making just this. Come on, it's not a matter of being ungrateful, but to be critical. I don't like mediocrity!
If you appear to be totally satisfied with the **** you're receiving, no one will give you more than ****!
And NO, I don't have to "do better" to complain about it or be critical about it. When did GOD say that you can't complain about something just because you can't do better? or it's just a xda's RULE to be a totally grateful lame fanboy about everything you're getting here? I'm just not mediocre.
But anyway.. peace for all.
On my old LG phone I used to run custom ROMs in order to free-up internal memory & squeeze out more performance (on an aging phone) and to get some additional features (on an aging OS). I haven't bothered to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S5 because:
1) Stock Android 6.0.1 is really good.
2) Rooting enables you to remove bloatware and free up memory, via Titanium Backup. I've got all the apps I want and no memory shortage.
3) Installing the Xposed framework, and some Xposed apps (especially XtouchWiz) has brought to my GS5 all of the "built-in" features that I'd want from custom ROMs.
4) Custom ROMs tend to be a bit buggy and tend to waste a lot of my time because I have to update the buggy ROMs.
I am now perfectly happy with my GS5 and I can't think of a reason why I'd want to hassle with installing a custom ROM. But that's just me.
This sure turned into a whine fest. Install what you want. The great thing about having custom roms is the ability to flash different builds in order to get the features you want. I prefer stock cm13. Only issue that I have is Bluetooth stuttering on wake. There's it. Everything else is stable and predictable. Using xposed with a few modules adds some features normally in RR or Bliss but with, for me, without the lag.
Why I choose custom over stock? I cannot stand the thought of being locked down to a device I own outright. I should have the right to change my status bar. I should have the right to choose what apps I want on my device. I should have the right after paying 600 at the time to full control over my device.

this became really good thread!! Thank you all for posting your experiences! For me really great and I can save really lot of time!
Please keep posting your choices!
really with Xposed apps is possible to have all features of custom roms?
CM13 is the official stock rom? There is one with root included?
What about "with stock rom you don't have all the control of the phone", is that true even with root?
Thank you
AICP 11
running AICP unofficial on KLTEVZW with unlocked bootloader. Currently have it set up with gestures and all just the way I like. Have flashed a few other 6.0 ROMS but keep coming back to this one. Bluetooth on screen unlock is kinda buggy with screen unlock but is similar to the issues from what I understand with CM13. Android Wear seems to work as it should with first gen Moto 360. I have a note 2014 as well and just use it to stream music to my bluetooth speaker. Tag or PM be and can point you in the right direction if you would like to try it out.
i like and have been using for a while [ROM] [Official & Nightlies] [BlissPop 6.01] 10/7 - [KLTE-SPR-DV-USC]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-wip-27-9-14-t2889474
too many
theres just too many but the best ROM i think would be PAC-MAN cuz its got a bit of everything, however i am yet to find a fully working one. closest i could find was Ressurection Remix. its pretty dope.
In my opinion. Tipsy OS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3393668
is the most stable and up to date aosp based rom out there for the S5.
Fast, smooth and zero bugs.
Incorporates the latest theming engine

Xposed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
works as well.

I'll reccomend VanirAOSP. It is pre-rooted, faster and more stable than CM13, and looks quite cool.

Have Verizon G900V and unlocked the bootloader using the forums here @ xda
vaniraosp lacks lots of features, as I remember..
Im using aokp with no complains ... it seems faster than others with its default kernel..
crazykernel reboots if you change almost any default options, and boeffla's lacks features and has some untested/buggy governors (less than crazykernel though)
it seems real devs are abandoning s5 as everything is just in an alpha stage forever
Hello guys, so I've been using S5 G900F since may this year and im currently running official 6.0.1 no root or anything.
It's really great phone and all but it started to bug because of touchwizz i guess and Im thinking about switching to custom rom but i have always been afraid to do it because it will break my knox thus breaking fingerprint and private mode..Im newbie here on this forum, I have experience with other phones(installing custom roms, rooting etc).So my question is: Can you guys recommend me rom that has working fingerprint scaner and private mode because it is a must for me and maybe working app like S Health, maybe IR controller if developers implemented those functions on custom roms and etc.If not is there roms with something similar ? Ive seen some CM13 builds paired with some custom kernels that implemented working fingerprint scanner but i dont know which one is good and which one is not.Any advice is welcome.Thanks! :highfive:
I like blissroms they worked WAAAAY better than the stock rom and have all the features...
I can recommend CM (of course) but especially ResurrectionRemix.
If you want to stick to a stock base, XtreStoLite or AllianceROM are great.

Послато са SM-G900F уз помоћ Тапатока
FingerPrint: Yes (Im on RR right now)
S Health: Kinda Works.. I mean, you can install it but the hearth rate sensor doesnt work there. You can install this app if you need it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=asd.vector.sensor
Private Mode: Dont think so
IR Blaster: Yup, and there are better third party alternatives like Galaxy Universal Remote
I would recommend Exodus, as it is very stable and quick especially on startup and shutdown.
