I looked around in the forum and I saw many discussions from May - April
about a possibility for a future costume Rom on G900H
Is there any update about it ?

Your selection is very limited and not likely to expand much simply because you have a niche device. There are legions more Qualcomm based S5s in use than Exynos. Which also means that few Developers have the H variant and the natural result is a dearth of 900H custom ROMs.
Any decent search would have found dozens and dozens of threads, asking and answering this question. Not to mention the actual ROMs.

I Have a g900h phone. I understand in most countries in the Americas peoples use this model. This is a high tech phone and perhaps the reason why most developer have qualcomm is only matter of coincidence.

You are mistaken. Most countries in the Americas use Qualcomm models e.g.
Canada 900W8
US 900T, 900A, 900V, 900R4, 900P, 900W8, et cetera
Mexico 900M
Brazil 900M
Chile 900M
Columbia 900M
Argentina 900H
In the list above, all of the models are Qualcomm except for Argentina. Only a few South American countries use the Exynos 900H. Since the vast majority of S5 phones in use are Qualcomm based, most developers also own Qualcomm phones as well. And that is the reason why there isn't much 900H custom development.

FWIW, Venezuela apparently uses the 900H as well.

Why are there so many galaxy forums?
I'm trying to understand because this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1566
Is really busy, with a lot of android roms.
The ATT Galaxy S 3 android rom forums seem much smaller.
Why are these roms not compatible? Is the International version that much more popular?
The international has been out a lot longer than the US version. And they are not compatible due to different hardware.

While it may seem they're all the exact same, the various us versions have different radios and other carrier specific stuff. And remember, the international gs3 has been out since may, of course the devs are used it by now. The non-int versions really only just came out a week ago.

The international Galaxy S3 (i9300) is practically a different phone from any of the US variants, in terms of hardware. It uses a different SoC (system-on-a-chip; different processor and graphics processor) and different cellular radios.
The US variants are also all different in the regard that they each run slightly different software by default, but the only hardware difference is in the cellular radios. They share the same SoC, so it's feasible to port ROMs between them without too much work. This also applies to the Canadian variants and such, as they share the same SoC and hardware as the US variants, with the exception of those cellular radios.
The Verizon version is the black sheep in that it has a locked bootloader, and currently ROMs that utilize a non-stock kernel can only be flashed to it (and work) if a workaround is used.

For **Noobs** so they won't brick their phone.

Reading skills are fundamental.
The majority of noobs read "The" then continued to brick their phones.
hello
i have my note 2 with me and tonight or tomorrow ill buy the s4 ,
but i dont know witch model to get , a lil confuse
in my area got a 4g support but i dont care much about it so its not big deal with me if i get the lte support one or not
what i care about is the roms , kernels supports (Samsung base )
so will the i9500 will be good in terms of roms dev etc or the i9505 ?
as i said i care about roms dev and also performance
thank you for reading
Quad is almost lock in specific operators and octa is almost international
so quad is more depend on operators plan
and Octa depend on samsung plan
:good:
thanks but im not talking about the plan or locked
im talking about what to get in terms of roms devs and dev supports
both of them are unlocked here in my country
The Qualcomm (i9505) version is better if you're looking for ROMs, Kernels, Themes... But the Exynos(i9500) version is also very good.
PS: Both versions are good in term of performence & fluidity !
HI guys just wondering has all the developers of I9500 s4 left already ? Official Lollipop for this rom is out for more than a week now http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-11008.php and except for AL_IRAQI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537515 (Tanx alot) nobody else is bothering with the firmware??Is there a problem with the lollipop firmware or is the i9500 development dead??? :crying::crying: Do anybody know of any other forum or development site that still develops for the exynos I9500 ? I would just like to state that I am very thankful to all developers and the work they are doing and this site and this is by no means an attempt to bash any of them
Speaking from a purely outside perspective as I have a 9505, the largest problems with 9500 development I think are both the Exynos processor and its distribution. The 9500 as you likely know is only available in countries that don't have LTE networks available. There aren't as many carriers for the 9500 as there are for the 9505 so naturally the production run is smaller. Then there is the lack of documentation, perceived or otherwise, with the Exynos processor. That lack of documentation makes it difficult, but not impossible, to create custom ROMs.
TL;DR: the 9500 isn't nearly as popular as the 9505 and ROM development is hampered by the Exynos processor.
Hello all.
Long time user of XDA but kinda confused on this particular thread. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have only installed roms from it's respective forum. I also notice other carriers have their own forums as well but this one is just labeled Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I've never knew which phones these forums support or why it exists in the first place. Thank you very much for info and sorry for dumb question.. I just can't seem to find the answers. I do realize I can see what models the roms support and most models are something other than the sprint or verizon models (N900p and N900v) thanks again.
These are the boards for the remaining 6.9 billion inhabitants of planet Earth, namely the ones not living in the USA.
More specifically, these boards are dedicated to the International and/or Unbranded versions of the Note 3. Primarily the N9005(Snapdragon) and N900(Exynos), but also the Canadian N900W8, the Asian models and all other non-US models.
US models have separate boards because they are completely different devices with often completely different firmware. (right down to settings and options.)
All non-US models are variants of the primary models, the N9005 and N900. Aside from a few small, cosmetics software differences, they are all the same. So we've got one place for all of those.
But there's plenty of discussion regarding the US models here too, because the General, Q&A, Accessoires and Apps boards are for all Note 3 variants.
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Hi! Due to the locked bootloader of the SD820 variants stateside there has been no development for the devices so far. However the Asian versions of the phone also feature the SD820 but come with an unlockable bootloader. Thus far there has been no root/recovery install method in english and the one exploit by the chinese developer Xiao1u has reported to have caused problems with performance and the camera.
Are any developers on this forum able to work on development for the Asian versions in the form of recoveries/roms etc?
As far as I understand it any development for the Asian devices would benefit the US variants once an exploit is uncovered, however I understand that lack of physical devices in the hands of developers is a roadblock.

Not a dev but it is interesting to see the differences between regions of the same device. I wonder if the rooting and custom rom/flashing culture in Asia is more or less popular than western countries. Hopefully it will help is find an exploit for the locked 820s.

They are pretty active but the majority of it is done in chinese (for obvious reasons) leading to limited international exposure. However the devs are undoubtedly talented with many root exploits being discovered by them for devices before western devs.
