Building CyanogenMod Unofficial for SM-G901F - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to build the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus for a while now. I think I can contribute a really good rom. I think I have a pretty good knowledge of Java and a bad but ok knowledge in C and C++.
There hasn't been that many good rom for SM-G901F and people aren't making rom for this phone anymore.
Has anyone tried to build SM-G901F and got it to work successfully. I have tried many devices from Github but there is always a problem such as a problem with configuration etc.

[ROM][DEV][Frustrated User] CM 10.1 unofficial for i9500

Hii guys,
I am too frustrated using the crappy stock ROM on Galaxy S4(i9500). I have used CM ever since I owned a Galaxy S, then on S2 and S3 also.
I will try to develop CM 10.1 derivative ROM for i9500. I am so frustrated with stock that I am going to try my level best into getting it to work.
I have proficient knowledge in Java and C++. But I have zero knowledge in ROM development. So all the development help that anyone of you can provide will be helpful.
Codeworkx, xplodwild, AndreiLux, nebkat, supercurio, Faryaab and all the other devs please guide me.
Wish me luck..
Thanks
Is this a good place to start?

[Q] ROMS - whats AOSP and whats not?

Okay please feel free to delete if this is in the wrong place,
I cannot find for the life of me where or how what ROMS are AOSP and which aren't. I spend ages reading each ones. I basically would like a 5.1.1 ROM that can have the Samsung Applications running on them, but all the ones I seem to find are all 5.0.1. and the newer ones that have 5.1.1 in the title seem to appear to me as AOSP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Steve
p.s I think AOSP is the term I have been given why samsung apps don't work .. so am sorry if i have used the wrong terminology as well..
In overly-broad strokes, any ROM compiled and modified by someone other than the manufacturer of a phone or tablet is treated as an AOSP ROM. Cyanogenmod is arguably the biggest of the bunch, and many smaller teams use their source code to create ROMs. Any ROM using a manufacturer ROM as a base cannot be an AOSP ROM as manufacturers include proprietary components in their ROMs.
There is no Android 5.1.1 ROM built by someone other than the manufacturer that can run Samsung apps. Samsung has modified portions of Android to allow those apps to function, and the changes are not open source. Therefore, ROM developers building ROMs using Android source code cannot include the Samsung modifications. Your only chance of getting a Samsung app-capable version of Android 5.1.1 is to hope Samsung releases a 5.1.1 update for the S4, or else someone with both a S4 and a flagship Samsung phone from either this year or last year ports a ROM over to the S4.

[Q&A] Porting ROMs

Good day everybody!
I created this thread here so that people cuold handle with this argument, Porting ROMs!
In particular I also wanted to ask help about a project I wanted to start by myself.
I'm new about porting full ROMs but I followed dozen of guides and got in touch with it!
I recently saw the new "Hydrogen OS" ROM for One Plus One and totally went in love with it! My project was to port this ROM to the Samsung S4.
Being my first time I'm not quite sure, so I wanted to know if someone could give me an hand or some tips!
Following guides I would like to port "Hydrogen OS" to my Samsung S4 i9505 using as base
ROM a version of CM12 5.0.2!
Is it possible? Will it boot or are they incompatible?
Can someone help me with This project?

Samsung Galaxy J5 - Any plans on developing PA for this device?

Hi there,
I own a Galaxy J500FN and have been unsuccessfully searching the web for a custom rom for my device.
I have used PA on both my S4 and S4 mini and would be very glad (so would many others) if somebody could dedicate some time on working on a build for this device?
It currently ships Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box.
There is no CWM Recovery build for this device but there is a TWRP Recovery Build that CTxz has kindly developed for us.
I am more than happy to flash experimental builds onto my device to help develop a custom ROM for it.
Thanks a lot!
Kyle
P.S: As many others have found, all root methods currently known for this device will trip the knox security.
No plans as we don't dev for devices we don't own or have access to. It is not on our radar at all, as with most Samsung devices.
@Pirateghost i can provide you all the files of j5 that you needs.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And what exactly does that do for us? That doesn't put a device in a developer's hand and they have ZERO way to test it. We know nothing about the device and we don't care to. It is not on the radar, it is not in the cards....
NO.
Not going to happen.
Please realize that developing for a device isn't easy. Even well documented ones bring along lots of hiccups along the way. There is no way in hell that we will take on a device request for a device that we don't own or plan on ever owning.
Here's a little FYI for you: we prefer Nexus devices or devices where the manufacturer/OEM is willing to allow/support bootloader unlocks, roms, development.
My advice to you: Learn how to bring up the device yourself, and build unofficials for yourself. This site was founded on being a resource BY developers FOR developers. Use the information available to you to build your own.
