Samsung camera and S-health on cm12?

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 ).

Custom ROMs for 910C

Hello everyone!
First thread here. Been a long time lurker and been grabbing and flashing custom ROMs for the nexus 5 until i switched to the note 4 (beautiful device, really). Well, since i cant post in the development thread due to my status as a new member, i thought kd post my inquiry here.
Im looking for custom ROMs for the 910c variant. I prefer to keep the TouchWiz features so AOSP ROMs, even though great, are not what im looking for. Glamor rom ported from the s6 seems very tempting, but being based on 5.0.1 (2?) Im a bit skeptical about it. My 910c is running on stock unrooted 5.1.1 which is great in terms of performance and battery life and id appreciate it if i could be directed on custom ROMs based on this build (any sign of a note 5 port? That would be ideal).
My problem with the 5.0.x builds, apart from the various bugs that the amazing, most talented devs have surely taken care of is that i read somewhere in the development forum (exynos) is that if i make a backup of my phone (running on 5.1.1) from kies and restore it on a custom ROM based on 5.0.x, well, im gonna have problems.
So....any recommendations?
All help would be appreciated

base on s6 port... i can recommend 2...
Sixperience http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-s6-port-v1-0-stable-t3190233
Glamor http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/glamour-s6-rom-t3136786
glamor got a screen freeze problem... but not everyone got it... I prefer sixperience for stable usage. Sixperience dev are currently porting N5 apps. When will it be release... cant say but he has make a great progress.
Base on 5.1.1
Wanam Lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-wanamlite-clean-odex-xposed-t2923266

RulingLite http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/4-4-4-rom-tr-rom-t01-super-fast-powerful-t2936453 (this one got a lil s6 apps)
thats all right now...

Im using Sixperience Rom..
Known bugs:
- touch key light not working
- Fingerprint
Best rom I've used so far...

Thanks a lot guy! I'll check out wanamlite and erobot! Hoping glamor rom and sixperience get upgraded to 5.1.1

hi all
I've always used a stock rom for the note 4
I want to have full access on the phone (in order to be able to control network access, for instance for apps forcing LTE mode (advanced network settings) or for battery saving apps that cannot shut down data when needed)
I tired to root my stock rom but that wasn't enough for those apps (forcing LTE or battery saving apps )
Can some tell me which custom rom make that possible ?
thanks

Is there any rom that has everything working (nfc, wifi etc)

So is there any rom (I think stock based would be my best bet) that has no important bugs? Or should I just flash a custom kernel on a stock firmware?

No there is no such perfect custom rom due to some technical limitations.

Try stable ROMS, there is more probability you find everything working there. I suggest you Resurrection Remix for personalization and CM 12.1 for stability. Btw is your choice, choose the one suits you best.

as you said the stock based is your best bet but for me i use s5 mini rom it has everything working exept NFC because s5 mini does not have that feature

This rom has probably less bugs than the rest http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/rom-galaxy-s3-neo-stock-firmware-t2975102

Best is cm11 with sev3n kernel. 6h of screen good camera(cm12 is a joke), radio and everything. No bugs no lags and finally a decent phone. If you want lollipop flavour install cm11 ideal theme from store. It looks the same. After trying almost everything it,s my choice.

Offline chaning work? Battery idle 7 day work? Thank you.
(SORRY BAD MY ENGLISH 50%)

Yes offline charging works and in cm12 also works. Only cm12.1 has that bug. Try kang cm 12.1 after flashing perharps 10 roms is now my favourite . Well i miss cm11 Camera but you can't have everything, i'm a little tired of KitKat and since yesterday we hace a good lollipop ROM with a good tweaked kernel and almost free of bugs.

I am using stock firmware 4.4.2 with xposed and some modifications. It is good and now i am going to try any custom kernel. For me, custom roms are useless especially those CM based.

Looking for best 6.0.1 to install

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

TW Based
- Sixperience (It's not on XDA, Google it)
- xXx ROM
AOSP Based
- Samperia (XOSP, Xperia UI)
- PureGoogle (Looks like stock Nexus 5 ROM)
- Slim6 (Minimalistic Features, Fast)
CM Based
- CM13
- RESURRECTION REMIX
- crDroid

[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

Best Rom (opinion )

Hey
I have a G900F and I'm wondering wich rom you consider to be the best and why. I have stock marshmallow and it's been laggy lately. I would like to give a try to a custom ROM. I'm interested in lineage os and resurrection remix but I'm not sure if I should use any of them since I read on the forum that both have some sort of problem with gapps. Can you help?
Tell me if it's safe to install any of the above or if you can recommend another.
Thanks

Welcome to the S5 community @balangmusic,
Have a look at this thread for some ROM suggestions:
Which ROM do you like most?
RR 5.7.4 is a popular choice and I highly recommend using it. It is a little outdated in terms of security updates but it gets the job done and it is feature packed. LineageOS is currently a little buggy with Google Play Services, where your phone would freeze after auto updating.
Saber

or p h oenix rom

general rule - AOSP roms such as the ones you are interested in - can get nougat (which comes with perks such as extra features and extra security), bugs (as stated above) stability and compatibility issues (some have issues with fingerprint and sometimes camera) .
Touchwiz roms (e.g. Omega) - can only get up to marshmallow (or lollipop depending on the rom). more stable
I lean more towards Touchwiz based rom. if i wanted AOSP rom, I would have gotten a Nexus. I'm also not to concerned about what version of android i'm running.
I personally use Xtrestolite which is lollipop, touchwiz based and quite old. However, it's very stable. I'm having no issues.
Why do I use lollipop? - I really like Ktoonsez's Kernel.
In my opinion, I like Xtrestolite, or Alliance (although both are currently unsupported and are lollipop based at latest).
Omega is a Touchwiz based one (and pretty good) that supports Marshmallow now I believe. I reckon you should give that a try if you want a good balance between up-to-dateness, features and stability.
I'll post any links is you are interested in any of these and want links.
Edit: also very interested to hear about other good roms and people's opinions
Also Red's Revenge seems pretty cool and recent. havent tried it yet though.

Thanks man.
Can you give me links for omega and red's revenge?

Good luck!
Try them out and let us know how you go.

I have Lineage Os 14.1 on my S5 and it works perfectly, I think this is the best Rom because cyanogenmod turned in Lineage.
