You have 78 posts, but still you post in the wrong section -___- You better not flash a new ROM on your phone, because somehow you will make a mistake in this too, no matter how easy it is.
Me Gusta!

Hi, i've bought my S4 2 weeks ago. First i did was to accept the new firmwareupdate by Samsung. As i know now, this was a mistake, cause of the new bootloader.
But after rooting and flashing the EchoeROM, everything is fine. No bloatware anymore, great Kernel with super performance...
I think, if you will root your phone, you can try all the awesome custom Roms. If it's not good for you, you always can flash back to stock.:cyclops:

Back when I bought my S4 the first thing I did after my phone booted for the first time was the gaining root access. Just a few days later I flashed the first custom ROM and it was awesome. For me an unrooted Android is not the full Android experience.

Problem reports' posts are much more than developement's ones. So it may be easily understood why wrong placed posts do exist...

My s4 is the first device that I have ever rooted and installed a custom rom on..... I won't be going back to stock.

no way.... all custom sucks
no match for TouchWiz still few ppl thinks using PACMAN/CM/PA/SLim/etc is moreeeee helpfull
but no HD icons on custom ROMS this sucks

For me rooting is a must I live in South Africa we receive our first ota firmware a few days back,since the phones release!Custom roms are therefore a must. But even if we were getting more frequent updates I would still root my phone because I love it!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I installed AOSP 4.3 and I'm happy so far, very stable, fast (you don't know how S4 is fast until you install AOSP) and beautiful! Also, did I mention no Samsung ***** bloatware xD?
All the best,

[Q] Custom Rom for SM-G900H

Not sure if this is in the right section. I used a non lte S4 and there was obviously a lot less custom roms available then for the lte model. I am now using the S5. I see there is a couple of custom roms for the SM-G900F, but there is currently no custom roms for the SM-G900H or am I looking in the wrong section when I look here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development, if not, is somebody busy with a custom rom for the SM-G900H? There are very talented guys designing roms on here and I hope they make their way to the SM-G900H side.

be patience dude,the dev will work on our model,just stay tune

Just glad to hear there is hope... Can't wait.....

as there are more countries adopting LTE, there are less markets adopting the exynos version of the GS5. therefore less developers. Hopefully developers even those from LTE-running countries make rome for the exynos version. :fingers-crossed:

Is there still no rom hope for this phone ????

Nah, really I feel that nowadays if you root and use xposed you will find almost all the things you used to look for in a rom.
And you can debloat yourself using Titanium Backup or greenify donate.
That's at least in my case, there's even an xposed module to remove the s connect shortcut in the notification bar, the only modification I did directly on the apk.
So for now, there's not a huge need for a custom rom, 98% of the tuneup scripts are bs. And most tweaks are already in wanam xposed or app settings.

i dont think that we have hope..:/
btw @Shohat said that until the end of May he will release custom rom of sm-g900h but still now,nothing happen...

Don't believe any promises in that thread...

Yea not into trusting that thread either lol. I am rooted and use wannam and to be honest i am quite happy with it so far. I also use the phone for lots of training, so I use Endomondo sports tracker and the heart rate ANT etc and the battery life is phenominal. I am not sure I would want to run a custom rom that is going to have bugs etc. I stock standard with a few speed tweaks and debloated might do the trick but I guess we will have to wait and see if anyone has the guts to build for this model ??

I waiting for rom galaxy s5 g900h
Hi everyone ,
i installed Recovery for my G900h, but i still waiting for dev make a new ROM for G900H exynos, :good:
never test a rom G900F or else you risked your phone fallen break​:crying:

Sorry bro, can't read your post, the text it's too small.
After having rooted for weeks and used greenify, titanium backup and xposed framework I still don't see any need of a custom rom (same experience I had with my Nexus 5 - stock rooted with franco).
Custom kernel is a different story, just changing a couple of things makes a good difference in standby consumption (sec-battery-monitor, wlan_rx_wake and l2_hsic wakelocks).

Where at all is Andreilinux? He is the one who did it for the s4 octa, so whats special for the s5 version that hardly anybody shows any interest in it?
I want to ask that I am very much interested in making a custom rom for this device. But the problem is that I have no past experience.. So how tough a job it is, to make a rom for exynos devices if I haven't made any rom in the past?

The problem is not that its hard to make a rom for exynos or anything special about s5.... I guess its that hardly anyone and no devs have the device. Supporting and building for a device that you dont own is just not sensible.

any progress about custom rom of sm-g900h? we need cm

Hey guys, I recently rooted my galaxy s5 model SM-G900H and it is still running the stock rom.
I tried using my Allshare cast wireless dongle and when it connects after a second it disconnects and the phone says
hardware problem. Any way to work around this? I downloaded triangle away and my flash counter is at 3. I tried resetting the flash counter but it is not working. Any help will really be appreciated as I am in Africa and I really need the screen mirroring to implement some community projects. Thank you all

Should I use custom rom?

Hey guys...
Just got my S7 edge today. Are the custom roms better than the stock? Do you advise me to flash? The most important thing for me is battery life, so if there's a stable rom that would do that (in addition to other features and advantages) I'd like to hear about it.
Well, I searched a bit, and people seem to like the Edge Renovate rom and the Omega rom, but it doesn't look like their available for my model "SM-G935FD". So, if you do advise me to flash a custom rom, which would be my best choice?
Thanks

Hi,
First things first, do you use the dual Sim capability of your device? Since the rom doesn't support 935FD I believe it will "turn" your device into a 935F (which I think it's possible, not sure), which is a single SIM phone.
If you do use two SIM cards at the same time I wouldn't flash a custom ROM. If you wish to however, then I will suggest the same I always do, read the threads carefully and check for battery life screenshots with any comments, then see if it's the ROM you want to flash.
All the best,
~Lord

Thanks for your reply.
And, no, I won't use dual sims. And I've just read that people flashed a G935F rom onto a G935FD model successfully with no issues. So I'm gonna go for it. And so far, I'm going for the Renovate custom rom. But I'm not sure whether to pick Renovate Edge 3.3 or Renovate Note 2.0, so if there's anyone who can help me pick... thanks!

As someone who's installed all the ROMs on xda for this device, my suggestion would be to stick with stock. You can root your device and use xposed modules to achieve the same result. I'm doing this currently.
If however you've made up your mind regarding custom ROMs, my suggestion would be Renovate Edge. It is an amazing build (I recently mentioned it in the thread) and since the Note 7 is a discontinued line, I'm not sure whether the Note port will be given much priority in future. I can be wrong.

Thanks for your answer. But why do you suggest to stick to stock? Isn't Renovate lighter and better?

I went out looking for custom ROMs to bypass the fingerprint lock issue at reboot where you've to enter the pin manually. Now I don't care much as my phone rarely passes hands. Apart from that the stock is pretty smooth itself... You don't really need a custom ROM. The battery is good by itself. You can improve it using greenify+xposed or you can use Samsung's battery optimisation available in the battery settings. Works like a charm! But hey, try things out yourself and decide.

Thanks mate

Not a problem! Also, if it makes any difference, none of the custom ROMs beat the stocks Antutu score for my device. What's going on? I don't know if that's the case for others here. The closest was Renovate and yet not close enough. Antutu is **** anyways.

current best roms? ( been away)

I was using superman rom i think months and months and months ago in marshmallow. Went back to stock S7 edge rom when nougat came out, like the changes alot but its slow and i want to start tinkering with roms again. I have been away from forum for like 6 months or more. What are the best roms right now? Looking for something simple and super fast. ( i guess preferably nougat? but doesnt have to be )

Ever since I got this phone, just before Christmas I've been using ambasadiis rom, no lag at all battery life is amazing he puts out frequent updates also

I've tried many roms and I just suggest ambasadiis ROM.... with ROM control... It's amazing:good::good:

I've been using Resurrection Remix for the past few months now and it's the best I've used, highly customisable, no Touchwiz or bloat and I've yet to have an issue with it, I would suggest you give it a shot personally

Just got a SM-G930V, what are our choices as of today?

Been trying to get root access with various videos to no avail, guess the new updates made those not working.
Already soft-bricked my device once within 30 minutes of having it LOL.
But anyways, she's running fine again just don't really care for the stock rom so much..
I thought someone had the S9 rom working well on these? Maybe not the Verizon version??
Any help would be much appreciated, tons of outdated threads on here..
if someone could just give me the current low-down on what the situation is!

I'll be in the same boat soon. Did you get your phone brand new? What firmware did your phone come with?

I'll help if you're trying to get root. Are you guys on marshmallow, nougat or lollipop?

If you don't want to root there is a leaked version of Oreo that runs pretty smooth. there is a couple guides on how to install it throughout the s7 forums.

Just installed Oreo on my G930V yesterday and I have to second this. Oreo is running AMAZING on my phone. Super fast and little to no bugs.
