I am new to the world of Android, coming from an Iphone. I have no first hand knowledge about rooting or installing custom roms.
I have an S5 which lags alot and its because of the touchwiz as i've read.
I want to install the pure android, like the one on the nexus 5 on my S5
Model number is G900H. I dont want custom roms like cyanogenmod. I want The one from google pure stock android for my s5.
Can someone please help me out with this and provide step by step instructions as to how I can get that?

Very doubtful someone will guide you step by step, the general idea is to root your phone, install a custom recovery, then install a ROM, there are many guides on how to do this which are tried and tested.
Have a search, it's hard to miss them.

Ok which custom roms would you recommend. One that won't send my apps crashing and much more stable than the touchwiz

Downgrade your device if you're on a new firmware, use a firmware for your model, flash it via odin (there are plenty of tutorials) root using towel root and you have a rooted phone, the way I did it will void your warranty and knox will be set to 0x1, this happens when you flash something you shouldn't via odin, I flashed a custom recovery, bootloader and modem via odin so my counter is no longer 0x0, there is a way you can root, install a custom recovery and flash a rom, find the Neat Rom thread in android development, get everything you need from there and fire away.
Research and read everything, until you understand it, but the general idea is, root, recovery then rom, forget about original android development for now, concentrate on actually finding a rom that will work on your device, the most common is mine which is the 900f, you're on h so you need to find one that is compatible, don't leap in without guiding yourself first, check and double check.
Good luck.

As most custom roms are pre-rooted flashing a recovery with Odin will do and there is no need to root the device first , then make a nandroid backup of your current rom in recovery and flash the rom (and Gapps for CM) of your choice. Flashing a custom recovery/kernel may void warranty though as KNOX will be tripped to 0x1. As you have the G900H CM is not option atm. You could root the phone and freeze all not needed apps and widgets with Titanium Backup.
hey guys, i wanna ask, i have a custom KK rom now, if i flash stock lollipop, then root and flash custom KK or lollipop rom, will i get the IMEI issues??
THANKS
Normally no.
But why would you flash stock, root, and re-flash custom roms?

The stock is not better because the custom roms are based on the stock.....that is if they are tw based.

Have you tried the GPE roms? It has been the most stable and hassle free rom I used so far.
Or try CM12.1. I use it currently in combination with Ktoonsez 5.1 kernel and it works with no problems. Also it is a lot smoother than 5.0.1

i have the i9500 variant, so GBE roms wont work, and CM12 or CM12.1 are good, but battery life is horrible, and the camera is s***....i tried cm12 couple weeks ago, its smooth enough but the camera i not good, AOSP roms have bad cameras....

your right, but sometimes custom roms breaks some functionality, so maybe its a bit better, i dont know for sure...
Is such a thing possible?
Mostly thinking of Stock-based custom ROMS instead of AOSP (e.g. CM and etc). Thanks

A lot of the roms if not nearly all are pre rooted anyway. So when flashing it will root automatically
Has any one root the T-Mobile s7e with it already on 7.0?
I have been looking but not sure . I tried to root with the method on here but I get stuck in a bootloop when it restarts after flashing the AP boot file in Odin I have tried several ways. I want to know also. I'm running 7.0 and g935t .
Yes been out for a few days, haven't tried myself yet.

But you need custom recovery, and rom is debloated + rooted
Just get a custom recovery, disable encryption and flash latest SuperSU 2.79 or Magisk. All good
Am I missing something.....why are the people above me saying to put a custom revovery on tmobile variant.... afaik that's not possible.

I think that every exons proccesor (Europe) can be rooted.
But im not sure. I got my S7 from germany and its unlocked. No TMobile or other carrier.
Everything works good ?
T mobile is snapdragon. There is 7.0 root, it uses another engineering Bootloader
Right but there's no custom recovery, no custom kernel, no custom Rom, which is what the user was suggesting. Doesn't make sense. At least not for US variants.

OP, i thought was asking for root. Flashfire is basically our only recovery atm for usa hence locked bootloader.. no custom kernels but we can tweak kernel via kernel author. We have custom roms but it's TouchWiz based.(stang 5.0 rom is awesome) Still better then having nothing imo.. xposed+root apps+romcontrol+system write, makes sense and worthwhile for me.
I wanna know xiaomi.eu roms have anti-rollback or not. Because I'm going to flash AOSP roms and even if I wanted to go back to MIUI, I'll only flash xiaomi.eu stables. So pls

As far as I know ARB is in the fastboot versions, there is ARB=0 in those ROMs, checked, If you have ARB>0 you'll not be able to flash by MiFlash. However you can flash by TWRP but only upgrade, downgrading in TWRP means you can brick in any time. Of course every single ROM flashing in TWRP require to disable Dm-Verity/ForceEncrypt, to avoid bootloops and problems with encryption after unlocking bootloader.
