i have rooted my phone and now i am searching for custom roms i am new to xda please provide me the best rom link
There is no best ROM anymore than there is any one best car or vacation. It depends on what you are looking for and you gave no hint of what your priorities are.
Moreover you have a niche model. There are a lot of custom ROMs to choose amongst for Qualcomm S5's. However you have an Exynos based handset which comparatively few people use and which is incompatible with the Qualcomm models. This means that few custom ROMs are available for the 900H simply because few developers own the model that you have. Have a look in the android development subforum to see what is available. The last time I looked it was ony stock or debloated stock ROMs for your variant.

in that debloaed rom we have Odexed Version nd deOdexed Version wat z the difference

One is odexed and one isn't. Simple huh?
As a simple search would have shown you, stock firmware apps are odexed, while few custom ROMS are. Odexing is where an app is split into two parts ostensibly to make them load faster upon boot. Odex is a pain in the neck if you want to modify a system. It's sole advantage is that it may reduce your boot time.

Good day everybody. I just wanted to find out about the N900 variant. I have the N900V locked to verizon but it's sim unlocked so I can use it at my country.
How do you go about installing custom roms on the N900?
Is the bootloader unlockable?
Does it support AOSP roms?
I don't play graphic intensive games so I'm thinking about trading it for a N900 version and flashing an AOSP rom.
Can anybody give me a general response on how the N900 is in terms of development?
take a look at the developement thread.
As far as i know there are some Roms, but not as much as for the Snapdragon version. For example CyanogenMod12 is avaiable but just as Pre-Alpha and cm11 left at beta stage..
Maybe your also interested in this Thread
hey guys does it matter getting other versions of this device ?! D800,LS/VS980 or others ?!
i don't know much about bootloaders here and if they are locked like samsung !!
will i have any problems with installing custom roms or kernels ?!
thank you in advance
have a good day
There is no difference in CPU, RAM, camera module, display and GPU but there are differences in network support, wi-fi chip attributes etc. Some models do not have FM Radio chip. I think that Verison model also looks different (buttons and camera) and there is korean model that has a removable back and SD card slot with terrestrial TV antenna.
Now, there are unified ROMs and kernels that are universal and support all variants (models) but each variant has variant specific ROMs and kernels. Bigger and more popular ROMs are for most of variants, like CM 12.1 based ROMs and AOSP ROMs (Ressurection remix, Bliss Pop) and there are popullar Cloudy ROMs that also work on most variants as well as MIUI ROM. So there is no worries that you wont ger X rom with Y variant but if you are really picky there are some variant exclusive ROMs that cant be installed on some other variants.
Your best bet would be a D802. It is the international version and you shouldn't have any problems.
Thank you @5ageman and @Orcam
well guys it's at&t D800 model i wasn't exactly sure before asking here
strange thing i heared that D800 has noise cancellation near camera as a difference from D802 model which sadness me for the back covers when trying to get one, idk why they made that stupid difference !!
i got me a d800 no big deal for me the roms i want are there for my device..just make sure the cover has the hole for att phone..
I have the an opportunity to trade my Samsung A5 2015 edition for a Samsung S4.
Which variant should I get?
Which has the most development?
Is the trade worth it?

Well, the 2016 A5 might be better or equal to the S4, but the S4 is definitely and improvement over the first A5.
The first generation A5 has a Snapdragon 400 processor, while the S4 has a Snapdragon 600 processor.
That being said, you should get the I9505 model. It has the most custom rom support.

Thanks. I have owned an S4 Mini and that was an awesome little phone, so an S4 would be a big upgrade over the A5
I9500 for sure if u want better touchwiz rom development and also better performance.I9500 has the best S6 Based Port ROM which runs very smoothly.
How does the S4 compare to the S5
One big difference is the i9500 doesn't support 4G/LTE (No antenna.) So you'll need the i9505 if you want to use that.

That's incorrect my friend.
The I9505 and the I9500 have about the same touchwiz development. They both have none. There will be no new Android version for both devices in the future based on Touchwiz. Both are stuck at Android 5.1.
On the other hand the I9505 has superior CM development compared to the I9500. So if you want to keep the latest version of Android go for the I9505.

Both Have S6 Based Port ROM which is 5.0.2 basically but they dont work in the same way.Ale95 Milestone V4 is the best s6 port rom which i9505 doesnt have.I am personally using I9505 but i find i9500 much superior in performance too.I9500 has better TW development and i9505 has better CM development

But it's dying...
With one by one of developers are leaving i9500 development.
For S6 ported ROMs, i9500 is the best because S6 has Exynos SoC too (i9505 is great, they have Astra ROM). But, porting S7 frameworks and apps to i9500 will be making a lot of headache (don't ask me why), so they're just themed instead of being ported.
Edit: Damn, network problems messed up everything...

Hello,
I just broke my G900F and would like to replace it. I want a new S5 with cyanogene on it and I want it to be compatible with my other G900F Battery.
I looked at the most recent S5 versions but I am not sure if cyanogene will works on them. The cyanogene website is not really clear about this info.
Do you guys know?
Do you know if the S5 Plus (newer processor) will be ok with the "stock" cyanogene?
And what about the G906S and G906?
Thanks for your help
Official CM works only with Snapdragon 801 G900* variants (of course except H).
yep, most Cyanogenmod ROMs will work on most US S5 variants. If youre looking for opinions, Resurrection Remix is hard to go wrong with, but if you want to play the field, just look for KLTESPR builds
