Custom Roms that work on the Canadian model

I am having issues with installing custom roms on my phone.. Which roms are you Canadians able to install without much issue ? Thanks
So I was able to install GF version 8 and but then I wasn't able to use WIfi.. I went back to reinstall and during the setup and selected the canadian version but this lead to the phone not booting up after installation.. This phone is the most problematic to use so far in my experience with custom roms.
Gold finger works and I find it awesome and fast
Goldeneye works very well latest version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

Wrong S5 version on TW ROMs (G900F not G900I)

Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble correctly installing a TouchWiz ROM on my S5 G900I. I have tried both AllianceROM and Xtrostolite, I'm having the same problem with both.
During the installation, I am very careful to select the G900I kernel and any other similar options; however my phone always ends up labelled as G900F. This also seems to be affecting my mobile/cell reception (the G900I has a number of specific 3G and 4G bands that are used in Australia).
Anyone have any clues as to how I might resolve this? Thanks!

Hi BlackFire,
Download mode says G900I. So that should mean that the phone's mobile/cell reception will be that of G900I?

Then it is G900I. Independent of other things say. you have to trust the Download mode, no other things than that.
from what i see - XtreStoLite - Only can work on G900H
But the alliance Rom works on both G900F and G900I.
Have you tried installing AOSP roms? to see if they have the same problem?

THe version of XtreStoLite I have is definitely compatible with G900I. It let me select a G900I kernel during setup.
I've just come off using CM12.1, which correctly listed the phone as G900I in the "About Phone" menu. So it only seems to be an issue with the two TW ROMs I've used.
Incidentally, do you know of any TW-based ROMs that have the same/similar UI to CM / AOSP / Nexus devices? I've swapped to a TW ROM as the buggy Bluetooth audio on the AOSP ROMs was driving me crazy. But I would like to keep the AOSP look and feel, if possible.

What i am using is -Galaxy Project Touch Wiz 5.0 - You can try it.
And change the theme to look like AOSP.
Thanks, I'll give that ROM a try. What is the best way to get the ROM to look like AOSP? I'd like to get it as close as possible (menu UI, lockscreen, dialer etc).

Rom for Samsung Tab A SM-T285

Hi People
Unfortunately not had any replies to my 1st post about what bloatware and preinstalled apps that I am able to remove from the device after rooting it.
Could I try from another Angle could anyone provide a link for a custom rom that I could try and install which would remove it by installing a custom rom?
Sorry guys but I'm desperate to get the crap off and free up the device storage!
Thanks
Paul

If you goal is to free up space just removing preinstalled apps won't help that much since you are only modifying the system partition which is fixed and readonly. As for custom ROMs, since you are a T285 user you have the benefit of a wide range of ROMs to choose from, for 5.1.1 you have the tinker edition roms, on the other hand the 6.0.1 (CM, Omnirom) and 7.1.1 (Lineage, Omnirom) based roms allow adoptable storage, of course the 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 roms have problems just take note of the issues and problems each build has and see if it works for you. Just take a look at the ROMs and custom kernel section of this forum.
Thanks Jedid, would these roms remove bloatware upon installation? Which would you say is the most stable? Are they installed using Odin?

when you "install" these ROMs they actually replace the entire system and boot partition of your device, so they don't remove anything they replace it. In theory the Tinker Edition variant is the most "stable" as it is just stock with some apps removed. For non-stock based firmware (CM, LineageOS, Omnirom) I guess CM-13 has the most hardware support. Yes you use Odin to install these.
You wouldn't have clear step by step instructions to follow would you please? New to this it is rooted twrp and supersu.
Also could you provide the Rom on the tablet as it is now incase ever what to return it to normal.
Hi Guys I managed to install the Tinker Edition 5.1.1, it's still got kids mode Hancom, Samsung smart manager still on there? I don't seem to be able to move to SD card I thought you could on this rom? If not could anyone assist please?

Only 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 based roms like CM, Lineage and OmniRom support adoptable storage. For Tinker Edition use root apps like Link2SD to move to SD card.
With links2sd can you move any apps on the device to SD card? Are there any that do need to be left on the device?
After turning on the device today I don't seem to be connect to my wifi. Saying failed to obtain IP address also won't connect using tether from my phone either. All other devices in the household are connected fine, and there were no issues prior to installing Tinker edition rom last night. Can anyone help please? How to rectify? I've switched off router rebooted I've switched off device and still won't connect?
Sorted problem, the IP address needed changing!
If I have now installed custom rom after rooting my SM -T285 how do I put it back to how it was from new with no root or custom rom, none of the apps like sky sports mobile virgin media anywhere will work on a rooted device!

you can download the stock rom from sammobile, updato and then flash using odin
Would that over ride any custom rom then? Or would have to unroot after installing stock rom

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..
ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..

Using microG with Stock S8 rom

Hi,
I'm using the international Exynos S8 with stock ROM, not rooted yet.
Can I use microG with the stock ROM, assuming I root my phone?
Or can I only use it with a custom ROM?
I want to get rid of Google without losing camera optimizations and Samsung software
Hi
Did you were able to install microG and remove GAPps maintaining the original Samsung software?
