[Q] Why do famous Roms does not support SM-G900h ? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I used to be a Galaxy S3 owner, on it I had Omega Rom and i used to change my Rom often,
there was not a version problem. today I got Galaxy S5 but i cant find a normal Rom
that supports my device ( SM-G900h ) I watched the threads of AllianceROM , OmegaRom and more.
but they all mention the same "not support g900h"
few questions:
* Is there some information about a future version that will support g900h ?
* Is there a Recommended Room that do support g900h ?
* Why do all the other versions are supported except g900h ?
thank you

Because you have a niche device. The 900H uses an Exynos chipset. But the vast majority of S5's use a different Qualcomm processor. Just by sheer numbers one would expect the Qualcomm models to be better supported.
And even if you have a ROM developer who was willing to take on the work of having to develop and support two substantially different ROM builds, he more than likely owns a Qualcomm model. Not an incompatible 900H. It wouldn't make sense to develop a ROM for a phone that you don't own - it would be exponentially harder.
ROMs that support the 900H probably reflect Devs that happen to own a 900H. If you want to buy 900H phones for famous Dev's as you put it, I imagine that more of them would release for Exynos.

G928 Source codes released

Hy all,
I love this phone, but one thnig disapoint me : NO roms oO NO customs roms at all !
I have nexus devices before, and all this custom think missing me ,
I read than developers don't love this phone because SAmsung don't released the source code
but I see this on Samsung website :
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sm-g928
It's all versions source
It's not enought to start real developpement ?
Source code is not the issue. A locked bootloader is the issue, on Verizon and AT&T anyway.

Cm or aosp no, but you have a lot of roms and kernels in the development section.
the problem is that exynos is not open source, especially some hardware blobs!
that's the reason why qualcomm based devices will get cm and aosp, exynos based devices would need a lot of fiddling and reverse engineering, thus cm/aosp support is often not the case!

Best custom rom / unified development/ Samsung Gal S5 G901F (dutch)

HI,
I tried a view different roms but all with bugs. With my current rom I lost bluetooth (is not working).
I am looking for a good stable rom for my device galaxy S5 G901F (Dutch).
Important: good batt.life and fast response.
Another question, the unified rom section, are the roms there suitable for all devices (what can I find is this section?).
Thanks for your response...

Hi Joey99
Stability and Battery Life are almost relative to each user. My profile usage is certainly different from yours and as so my results.
At the Galaxy S 5 Android Development forum you will find ROMs based on the Samsungs original releases. For your device I could find 4 active developments:
[ROM] 6.0.1 [CPE1] Material7 V1.3 / Material7 Full V1.0 - 26/05/2016 - [G901F]
[ROM][STABLE][TW][6.0.1][CPE1][10.05.16][SM-G901F] StockRom V2.0
[ROM][G906/G901][OFFICAL][NIGHTLY]Mokee Marshmallow for S5 LTE-A and Plus
[STABLE][ROM][5.1.1][G901][G906]Kyubi Note 5 Port Ultimate for S5 LTE-A and Plus
Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development forum hosts the "raw" Android releases (not related to Samsung) and, as so, more susceptible of glitches regarding the hardware communication. In fact, I'm not sure if your device is supported there. This you will have to learn by yourself.
Anyway, you should restrict yourself to the ROMs built for your model and you should know that not even Stock Samsung firmware is free of bugs so ....
Be welcome at XDA.
Nice regards and have fun.

Any developer Alive? Why there is no Custom roms for Samsung A7 2016 (SM-A710F)??

Is there any custom Roms for Samsung A7 2016 (SM-A710F). I have tried search custom rooms for my device but no luck?
I request to Room developers to please port some custom roms for this device i will be highly thank full to you guys. i am sick of using Samsung stock rom :crying::crying::crying:
Please do not ignore this post......
Me too, please create CM 13 for a710fd
Yes, please!
Anything but the boring Samwiz.
Let's keep this thread alive, so it may have some visibility.
i don't know why no developer make any ROM for this fantastic device yet. i have been using this device from the day it release and i am still in love with it........ Developers please do some thing i really need a change of ROM for my love(device)........
Agree absolutely! I have a lot of issues after uprading to Kitkat and then Mashmallow, with each upgrade introduced more serious issues rendering the dual SIM always on a useless feature. Really tired of Samsung ROM.
By custom roms, I assume you mean AOSP roms... Well, our samsung A7 & A5 2016 has exynos soc (except the A7100 & A5100, both has snapdragon I think). Exynos is somehow closed-source which means AOSP roms created for exynos devices are full of bugs because of missing source for the CPU. That is why less/no developers build AOSP roms for exynos devices.
In short,
exynos = closed source
closed source = no developer interest
no developer interest = no custom roms
sad
Rom Found
Finally i find a rom for A7 users :good::laugh::silly::victory::highfive:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/advanced-seven-t3509237
Need more Roms. Specially lineage based Roms for this device
There are a few...
I am using Centaurus ron as my daily driver and its free of bugs.
The developers upfate it regularly you can chec it out here https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-centaurus-v1-t3833685
We have a git of bunnyy to compile, we have everything to make a Lineage 16

why 600 rorum was based cm rom
Samsung's source code for Exynos is both dated and incomplete. Making AOSP or LineageOS ROMs using the source code is difficult. So difficult in fact that many developers stopped developing for Exynos devices altogether. So Exynos is a bad choice if you want AOSP or LineageOS. That is why the bulk of the custom ROMs for Exynos are Touchwiz ports.
Making a device for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors is far easier, as Qualcomm provided all the source code for the CPU. Since all the source code is present, an AOSP or LineageOS ROM is that much easier to build.

I don't think the problem is about our exynos CPU.
galaxy S5,S6,S7 also have exynos cpu and they all have LineageOS.
I read a post in S5 forum. The first dev make CM 12.1 for S5 said that exynos in S5 is the most terrible. But it have LiOS now.
I think our dev is move to another phone is the reason.
@But_Hacker: It's an established fact developers moved off Exynos on the S4 years ago due to lack of source code as well as documentation. What you're seeing now is not related but is simply because the S4 turns 4 in April, 2017.

Man, s2 and s3 is older than our device and they have CM or L os in android 7.
I think i will have android 7, soon. In this year.

I don't ever recall saying it was impossible, just very difficult. The simple fact of the matter is you have to have developers to do this stuff, and a lot of them refuse to work with Exynos for the reasons noted above.
I personally don't have this problem as my roomie's SIII and my S4 both use Qualcomm processors. Just lucky I guess.

Well i see you post below. You means S4 exynos dev is difficulit because of source code and document.
But S5, S6, S7 now have many document ? that is why they have CM or LineageOS for them now ?

On Exynos or Qualcomm? I don't haunt every Samsung forum, especially as my current device is a Nexus, so what those devices have or don't have isn't something I pay much attention to. I do know however that the documentation, while still incomplete, had improved for the S5 - S7.
I do believe the JDC Team may be able to attempt LineageOS on the I9500. But you'll need to talk to them and get them an I9500 for development.

What you said is fair enough.
Actually I was only making a stock based Custom rom for G531F with Tweaks nd Custom apps & mods.
I made one but it didn't work out right.
As far as Pure Custom ROM is concerned, it is impossible until a proper Dev buys Grand Prime G531F.
It has a chip which has no sources nd no device trees so no development has been done previously.
Cyanogenmod or other roms shouldn't be expected or else what you can do is, buy G531F to Vince2678 or Zim555 nd they can build one for you.

No worries I'm glad. Sure just try swapping it with G530H, G530M or G530FZ nd you can get support for all kind of custom roms in fact support of all my roms as well.
These models have Snapdragon 410 Chip which is a well-known nd common one.
But G531F CPU is by Maxell nd only one of that company.
