Officially the "S5 prime" isn't a S5 model at all. according to Samsung at least. We all know it is a derivative model though. No dedicated subform here. As the phone has now been designated an Asian market only phone, pretty much everything is in Chinese or Korean. There is a thread dedicted to the prime here (just do simple search for it) that tabulates what is available for the model. The last I looked it was just rooting methods plus a few semi-custom Chinese ROMs.
As a niche model limited to China and Korea; and with it's own firmware path and incompatible drivers we probably won't see a wealth of custom ROMs for it. More likely you will see a 900H type path with very little development simply because most developers won't own the variant.
.
oic... this variant specs is pretty awesome though.. the galaxy s5 should have had these specs in the first place!

Agreed. But Samsung took the safe, conservative way out and didn't break much real new ground with the S5. They just refined the S4 and added more apps. More to the point, amongst all the rumours of a S5 Prime model, Samsung blatantly lied and told us categorically that there would be no forthcoming S5 prime model, to boost initial S5 sales. They didn't want people holding off in wait for the Prime version.
That created a lot of anger and outrage when the deception was revealed. And a lot of us suspect that the S5 Prime was originally planned for wide release, but to save face was subsequently designated as an Asian market only handset. At the very least, it was criminal that Samsung released the original S5 with a 16 GB ROM in NA and less RAM than the existing N3. Criminal because the S5 was supposedly the flagship device, but the marketing people new thought that they could get away with the inferior specs.
.
And as another nail in the coffin of the so called S5 Prime gaining wider distribution.. Samsung just announced (earlier today) a Note 3.5 model. If you look at the specs, it's really the S5 Prime with a 5.6" screen positioned as an intermediate Note model.
Obviously a face saving move allowing them to continue the charade that the S5 Prime was never intended for worldwide sales. The new model is being called the Note Edge and makes it even less likely that you will see many custom ROMs for the "S5 Prime".

The note 4 has the same specs as the G906 (S5 "Prime", which is a Korea only model)... So maybe other than the S Pen it'll have similar hardware.... But who knows till we see a ROM!
Besides that Miscom has made a custom ROM for it (G906), just with root and a bit of de-bloating. It is super fast on it, so I'm not sure what you want from a custom rom.

Please explain how the S5 "Prime" is gaining wider distribution.
The Note edge is more than just a 5.6 inch S5 Prime. Have you seen it's defining software features? With what you're saying, this applies to the G3, M8, Find 7, Z2 and Z3 and pretty much most of the flagship devices coming out this year. The Note Edge and Note 4 are completely different devices to the Note 3 and S5 Prime, unless of course you are just looking at what brand chipset it has and how it has the iconic Galaxy design.

I wouldn't call it a Prime model, I would call it a region specific model. Aren't those two exclusive to South Korea and parts of Europe?
do you guys any chinese/korean forums where there are custom roms for the samsung galaxt s5 prime? I can get a prime for almost the same price as the galaxy s5 .. but I am hesitating because of the lack of roms

U can go to the S5 Android development forums you'll get both root and ROM from Miscom for your Samsung galaxy S5 prime SM-G906K/S/L
When A9 pro will get nougat ??
Take a look. Very soon.
Very soon means....when or in how many days or weeks.....
If i had to guess i'd say up to 6 months from when spotted on benchmarks. It seemed to be like so for the S7.
Maybe coupled with the next security update (hoping) . A5 A3 were quick. S7 was the first, so might have been thoroughly done.

Even so if i'm not mistaken the A5 2017 took 4 months from benchmark to release. So 4 to 6 months is not unrealistic (and a sad timetable).

I m very promptly checking twice daily. Hope you are also.
I read somewhere (cant remember source) it MIGHT get it after the last model gets updated (which would start 27/07), so.... Hope starts after tomorrow. Its a phone that is still on market and has the crappiest of supports, outdated phones have already been updated first. AND there are NO accessories for it on the official samsung stores. Gotta remember to buy only extremely popular phones or flagships instead of actually good ones that dont rip my pockets.

:laugh: checking samsung update history here, it takes between 50 to 60 days between updates. The last one here was 21/6. Means 2nd week Aug might be a good guess.
This is a real good phone without samsung (less compared to their other models) / xda dev support. Still after 1 year of release no custom rom / kernel available. Never been like this with any of my earlier devices, Samsung or otherwise.
If we are lucky enough, next update will be only a security patch only. Will again leave us yearning for nougat for another month or so. My little ray of sunshine :victory:
Samsung going to release Nougat on 8th of Aug
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) qualifies for Android 8.0 Oreo update since it was released on the market one year ago. Unfortunately, we won't be getting a confirmation from*Samsung, but we'll certainly know before the update hits the*phone*if the South Korean company decides to give the green light.
Video link :mod edit - link removed

Well i won't be upgrading phones anytime soon. So i really hope this phone gets these updates. If not i guess MM will be the os i know.

I actually want nothing to do with Oreo, but thanks for the heads up.
Hey guys! I don't know if you already heard it but Samsung is going to release 8.0 for the S6 and S6 edge as well? I just love it

These reps are just full retards who speak nonsense 24/7 & even more if they're Indian reps who just lie blatantly.
Although we all would like official Oreo, it's 99% never going to happen!

There are more sources saying that S6 WILL get Oreo.

https://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-oreo/
There is even more I'm sure.
They are not sources, just articles related to the same source already cited here, people from Samsung support center, not the official statement from Samsung.
In this case, seeing is believing. I don't think we'll ever get official statement that Oreo will be supported for S6, it's either it will or it won't, only time will tell. Certainly if it ever comes, it won't be before March or even April.
Been Confirmed by Samsung Turkey

You are right, they are all using one source, I messed up. Still, they are not saying there's a chance, they are confirming it's gonna happen and they seem confident. I'm sold. If it doesn't happen then I won't consider them a viable source of information anymore.
I'm still not convinced. It might even be that they plan to update it to Oreo, only to be cancelled at some point.

Maybe at 99% of Oreo completion a plane will crash in the house of developers and they will all die and it will get cancelled.

May I know what website is that? Thanks
Although I'm not sure if this is going to be real, it's technically possible. There's a phone called Galaxy A8 2016. Since the 2015 models of Galaxy A Series got Nougat, that device would almost certainly get Oreo, and it has similar specs to the S6 (Exynos 7420, 3GB RAM). It wouldn't be too much of a job for Samsung to support S6 too.
Maybe we could port Oreo from the A8 2016 if Samsung chooses not to push Oreo for S6..
Guys don't be so pessimistic...
The Galaxy S6 is still a very good and strong device. It is a Milestone and it deserves Android 8.0. They are probably updating it to 8.0 because they want to Change their update polity and thats really great. Be happy, at least they consider to update the device and do not cancel the update. They also could have said "No the S6 won't receive 8.0" but they didnt!

Oooo such intresting news about new software update. Galaxy s6 will may get android 8 oreo.
I have a perfect matched gif for this
Why samsung need to waist extra time and resources on a such "failed" device when they already are orientated at quantity instead of software sussport ? Battery is terrible, probably 50% of users already in 1/2 years of use switched to other device, like galaxy s7 or s8 or other one with better battery. Because.. I truly believe a lot of users was like , - pissed of with 3-4 max hours screen on time.
There is no point for them to do this. When they already released a lot of new devices with new android version etc and also with upgrades like biger batterys, galaxy s7 etc. As samsung stated, they provide 2 years of software updates. Thats it. So they what ? Changed theyr update policy somehow ? Where updates then, refreshed policy about this that they changed theyr own rules ? No official news from samsung, nothing.
Samsung turkey, samsung other or else etc.. who cares about them ? Samsung turkey once stated about nougat update when s6 will get and they lied about date when it will release, delayed a lot. And now states about oreo ? Haha.
I dont believe either of them. They just writing what they want witchout any facts or confirms. Again.. - rumors without trusted source.

I don't think that you anything about the S6. Why? Because in your opinion it's a failed device and the S6 is one of the best Galaxys you can buy. It is better/more premium than Galaxy A/J 2016/2017 lines.

Haha! What an ignorant guy. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and battery is fine I get 6-8hrs SOT. Don't know what your on about. There is point for them to do this as they wan't to support their devices for more than 2 years to remain competitive with the like of Google and Apple. Yeah Samsung Turkey lied about the date but hey Nougat still came! I think Samsung CS counts as trusted sources, verified by multiple reps in many different countries!
Hi all.
I have a friend who just bought a Note FE but found out that there are no stickers in the camera app. The whole sticker button isn't even there, as if it's not available at all.
Is that the case?
If yes, how could it be?! Even the J7 Prime (a low-end model) has it! And both J7 Prime and Note 7 were released at around the same time. So why??
Nope. there is no sticker in camera apps. There is one in the editing apps. Why? its old 2016 device release to clear up their so called not use stock for so called fan.
Lucky you! I've been looking for hours now for a way to remove that crap from my S8.
