Installing rom on a similar variant - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, so I tried googling this for a couple days and couldn't find any answer.
I own a Samsung s5 plus. Now this variant of s5 isn't that common, and because of this, I rarely find any rom for this variant.
So my question is, can I install s5's rom? I mean s5 plus is equipped with a better processor( same as note4 but clocked to 2.5 ) so is there any way I can do so?
I'd be very grateful for your assistance.

Reason behind that we can't port S6 rom

Q) Why we can't port S6 rom to our Note 3 n900?
I've been thinking the actual reason for a long time. But now I got some answers. First of all S6 is a 64 bit device and running android 5.0.2. But we got only 5.0 officially. Next question, but S4 has some S6 ports?? Answer is, S4 has official 5.0.1. If we have at least 5.0.1 then it will be more easy to port.
I think these are the main reasons.

There is S6 based roms but not on this XDA forum, there is one guy who has made the BEST S6 Edge rom with no issues and its the best. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to state the site cause the guy got banned from here.:silly:

Having trouble finding a custom Rom

Hi guys, I have an Note 4 sm-n910k, with Exynos Octa 5433 (running marshmallow 6.0.1). I currently have a Korean stock Rom, and I'd like put a custom Rom on it (CM 13 ideally). I looked around, and it seems that all the roms are for the other variations of this phone, but not the "K" version. What's the main difference in the models that stops me from installing one of variant roms, as all I can see is that they have a different baseband, or can I basically use any of the 32gb Exynos variant roms, as the hardware seems to be the same. Failing that does anybody have a line on any good roms? Sorry for such a noob question, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

G900F or G901F

Hi there,
I have a Moto X 2013 and feels like time to change it. I went through all possible variations to have a newer and rootable phone with decent developer support.
I wanted to have a G870F S5 Active, but they are hugely overpriced if available, so came to the decision that the S5 will do.
So, the question is: G900F or 901F. I know the differences, and really would love the S5 Plus... but the S5 is much more "developer supported".
Anyone tested both? Does it worth to go for the S5 Plus even if there is only minor development going on for that?
Thanks for any experiences!
well, as long as you can root it and put TWRP on it, you can flash pretty much any ROM that was built for the snapdragon processor on your phone, just dont Odin flash anything that wasnt built for your phone.

You installed an exynos rom on a snapdragon phone? Somethings fishy...

Custom ROMS for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910S, Korean Variant)

Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-nemesis-refined-v3-5-n7port-t3587637
I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.
