[Q] Custom ROMs for A5 (SM-A500H)

Hey guys,Just brought a Sasmung A5,its currently on the kitkat rom pre install on my My Samsung A500H so i tried and look for roms,but couldn't find any. My previous phone was Samsung S1 and all roms i flashed are from xda,Thanks devs.
I was wondering if there will be Rom for this device, such as cyanogenmod 12 and more.
Thanks again.

Yes the s6 one is the only one working i know but i really want to have cyanogenmod for my a5 before any other mod,and the s6 one is not that different of the lollipop update 5.02 with a lot of bugs as its the older release of lollipop.

Ohh thats sad :/. but still ill just be patient for a developer to start to build for my specific device. The A5 can really be a nice successor. I really wish it brings same positive aspect same as the S series. Cause so jealous of samsung series have more developer than us. Anyway Good luck guys.

agreed, its a great phone with great promise, but its problem with this chinesse models and same phone with 4 diff models. You aactually need more develpoers than. I hope it will get better soon, its kinda still new phone, but compared to s series, its better to buy s5 and have tons of roms, if you are in to that stuff.I had same problem with htc desire 820, chinesse phone with no develpors, tons of models and 0 roms

Patience is the key to greatness :angel:

We feel so unlucky to see roms for other A5's but not for our specific variant (A500H) :'( So sad

Finally Official Lollipop update in my country Mauritius.
Before updating i just want to confirm is it worth it? 5.0..? if yes ill flash it right away if no give me reason why. and thank you guys

Light weight ROM s5

Hello my fellow S5 users! I just wanna know what people think is the most similar as ROM for S5 atm, when used S4 and S3 I used Slimrom as I'm not updated in the ROM univers I'm not sure what its called atm, but I would like something similar light weight but also customizable. I have looked at xtrestolite ROM and saw it as a good replacement as I use omega atm (4.4.4). The reason why I'm at KitKat is just because of stability and I would like that in my new ROM as well. It would be much appreciated!
Btw om not starting a best ROM thread I'm just asking for something similar to Slimrom that is also stable!

I have tested every rom I've come across and Xtrestolite v2.3 is the rom that passed the test of time Phoenix and Fusion rom I didnt find stable enough until very recently and there are some recent updates. There are probably more TW-roms thats good but those are the ones I like.
Probably any CM12.1-based rom is as stable as can be expected now in my humble opion. Personally I like Blisspop and Resurrection Remix, but Cyanogenmod might just be the most minimalistic I think.
Hope I helped

Yeah I have had some problems with random reboots on Marshmallow, I would try 6.0 again today since I'm not sure if they fixed it. Cm12.1 is just one flash away

help choosing the right rom

hello XDA
to the point directly.
what i have currently is stock rom 5.0 with lean kernel , and my device model SM-N9005.
what i look for is scratch stock rom with very very minimal fast build and i really don't care about themes or any visual things . i just wanted the best stable performance.
I'm sick of flashing my note 3 from rom to another , i wonder if there is any ready deodex stock rom so i can remove the unwanted apps manually or any rom you suggest and light me up.
pleases help me out because it's bean long time and I'm searching here and there without clue.

You could try temasek cm13, or resurrection remix. Both are very light builds.

Android 5.1.1 is a very stable version, dark lord 5.1.1, music liber version ,phronesis Last version, aroma music Last versions.

i did googled rayman95 and the rom was very nice from the first look
but the issue is it not support our region language and all letters shows x it's not supported at all.
My question is
How can I add language or let the device recognize it.

thanks for replay , i have to read more about those ROMs cuz i dot want to be in the same issue before like i did almost every time i flash the ROM

I have been using CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly builds for over a year now and it's stable, very close to pure android (with some addons) and is just great.

i have bad experience on that ROM on Note3 Unlike Note1 work just fine.

I really like rayman95 light version of ROMs but the issue is the device never recognize my language at all , I have no problems with English but many important emails and messages I can't read it at all and so far I don't know anyway to flash language pack "ARABIC".

Any updates on this? I have the same device, recently got it, want to see if there's a good rom to run to get rid of all the non-sense bloatware from the branded ROM that I have.

try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718684
download here: mega:#!bEVRVZpZ!goal7Ku3guATOe7O-376r2YcO4-RfzSx459lN6fK6Ic
it's an android 4.4.2 version tho, will try it myself too
edit: or this 5.1.1 android - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/slim-kiss-t3091848
LE: i've came to the conclusion after flashing 5 custom roms that original firmware is the best, unrooted... and you wanna get rid of the bloatware (like all of us do), just disable the unwanted apps

[7.1.1] LineageOS 14.1 kernel for Korean Note 2

Download link removed. Please head over to N7105 thread now as developer is releasing builds for E250S and E250K as well.

what specific ril patch should we use on shv-e250k models?

How to install Android 6 on Korean Note 2 devices:
Big thanks to @Strawberry_dev, he actually made this possible. He is the one to make a kernel to convert N7015 AOSP ROMs to Korean ones. Thank him (and ROM devs), this is NOT my work! I just wrote this tutorial.
I strongly recommend this to everyone. Way better than Samsung 4.4. It literally saved me from a buying new device. It's really fast and up to date. Suitable for use in 2016.​

sir.do you have any links for the files that you used?especially the RIL patch. i did follow the instructions but I had problems downloading the ril patch. if you could upload it through mediafire or any cloud servers. that would be great. I guess what causes my SHV-E250K to bootloop is that the RIL patch was not flashed and it stucked on the Cyanogen Icon

That's very strange. Wifi should work. When I flash roms for N7100, N7105, etc. wifi works every single time.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that you weren't running latest firmware prior to installing this.

Forget Android 6 and go to Android 7. From Android 4.4, just follow the steps in the 1st thread, but do not install Widzard Kernel 2.7 & Gapps for 6.0. Then, download and dirty install any Android 7 ROM for N7105 and the corresponding GAPPS. Please note than Widzard Kernel does not seem compatible with Android 7. The Kernel included in the Android 7 ROM is enough for Korean Galaxy Note 2 (mine : SHV-E250S).

Snapdragon 800 is a popular SOC so devices using it will get the latest ROMs first
Exynos variants are hard to port ROMs to so they mostly consists of modified stock ROMs or rom ports from newer exynos phones
