Need some input and advice regarding Galaxy S5 LTE-A (Prime) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have an opportunity to purchase a Galaxy S5 LTE-A. I have been considering it but was wondering if I can root it and then put custom ROMS on it. The device comes unlocked from factory but don't know if the bootloader is unlocked as well.
I know that most of the ROMS here are for the standard Galaxy S5 and the internals for the "Prime" are a bit different.
Would custom ROMS work with the "Prime?"

I also want to know the same. The problem is that not many will be have the phone to test so we will probably not get an answer to his.

Yea. Also I'm wondering if Nova launcher prime works and if zooper widget works with 4.4 kit Kat

yes to all of those questions.

[Q] how do I install international roms on my verizon galaxy s4?

I'm sorry to have to ask a question such as this but I would like more roms to choose from and it seems like international at&t forums have a lot more options. I don't know when to install googlies xstra small patch or an auto port patch. I know how to flash through ss3.72 and am running a stock NC5 rooted deoxed rom right now. I was happy to have hyperdrive but now I just want to toy around with other roms and I think there is something to this auto port/international stuff.... thanks for your time, I'm new and have googled a lot, just no conclusive answers how to run at&t based roms on my sch-i545 verizon galaxy s4.

Rooted S5 on Kitkat, how to do factory reset on KitKat and reroot?

I have an ROOTED AT&T variant Galaxy S5 on Kitkat (4.4.2). Lately, the OS have been freezing up a lot. So I think, it might be best to do a reset/restore to factory default, while staying on KitKat (I would like to use Xposed still and I think it is still not fully working on lollipop). This is my first Android device, so I am unsure what can I do to reset/restore the OS to factory default and reroot it. Can someone give me some instructions?
Also, looking through the AT&T Galaxy S5 Android Development forum, I noticed there are a few custom roms for the AT&T Galaxy S5. Can someone suggest one that would not be as bloaty/freezes up as much as stock? I am looking at a few of the roms on that board and I don't know what to look for.

G900F or G901F

Hi there,
I have a Moto X 2013 and feels like time to change it. I went through all possible variations to have a newer and rootable phone with decent developer support.
I wanted to have a G870F S5 Active, but they are hugely overpriced if available, so came to the decision that the S5 will do.
So, the question is: G900F or 901F. I know the differences, and really would love the S5 Plus... but the S5 is much more "developer supported".
Anyone tested both? Does it worth to go for the S5 Plus even if there is only minor development going on for that?
Thanks for any experiences!
well, as long as you can root it and put TWRP on it, you can flash pretty much any ROM that was built for the snapdragon processor on your phone, just dont Odin flash anything that wasnt built for your phone.

Custom ROMS for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910S, Korean Variant)

Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...

I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.

Any custom ROMs for a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900R6)?

Someone gave me this old phone that I'd like to turn into a simple multimedia device for my dad. This SM-G900R6 is stuck at 6.0.1.
I'm curious if there are any custom ROMs I can put on this version?
