I have a Galaxy S5, SC-04F, issued by DoCoMo in Japan. I saw this video where a guy had installed 5.1.1 Blisspop on the exact same device that I have (video in Japanese), and thought that would be a good idea, because my previous 5.0 ROM was having issues.
It seemed the only place to get the ROM for my device was from this Vietnamese developer. There was enough English in the Vietnamese text for me to get the right ROM, so I installed it, and overall the performance is a lot smoother and nicer than what I had before.
However, I am experiencing two issues. One is that the Bluetooth connectivity is weak. My bluetooth headphones constantly flutter as if the connection is weak. Listening to music is impossible. Also, there is nothing in the interface about the fingerprint scanner, so I'm guessing this ROM just doesn't support it...?
Is there a better ROM for my device? By "Better" I just mean that everything about Blisspop is fine, I just want to also have good Bluetooth and fingerprint scanner support.
Thanks for any help.
wrong section to post this mate, this belongs to the Q&A Section,
to answer your question, simply check out the many Stock TW LP Based Roms Pick one by yourself and try them out They have bluetooth working like you want it to and they have fingerscanner. good luck

Thanks for this response. You're speaking at a level of understanding above mine, though. I tried searching for "Stock TW LP Based Roms," but I can't triangulate on any that are compatible with my device. Also, I can't figure out what TW and LP stand for.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but finding Roms, whether through Google or on this forum, doesn't seem to be as easy as typing in the specifications of my phone and the type of Rom I'm looking for (eg, SC-04f, Android 5.1.1, custom Rom).
Is there a way I can search for or access a list of Roms specifically for my device?
Sorry for the questions, but this kind of stuff is tricky for the non-initiated.

Thank you for this suggestion. Unfortunately, It appears that this rom is not available for my SC-04F model.
Martin, you're not happy with Space-X? Or are you just looking to see what else is out there?
BTW, where in Tokyo are you? I live near Ueno.
Cheers,
Pete

Sorry, I didn't see your post until just now.
I'm just trying to get a ROM that's stable and without bloatware. The SpaceX Rom didn't seem to be available for my device, the Docomo SC-04F. If you can link to a specific ROM that you'd recommend, I'd be down to try it.
I'm currently running Blisspop, but after months of working well, I'm suddenly getting a lot of crashing and bluetooth problems, so I'm in the market to try something else.

martin_tokyo ,
which version of Bliss pop are you using ?
can you please share the web address ?
I too have a SC-04f , provided by DoCoMo, which I am currently using in Bangladesh.

Hi,
I read through diff. threads but i am a bit confused:
At the current date, is there any Marshmallow ROM worth to be tried/flashed as i read there are still basic functions like cam etc. not working. If yes, which ROM works best please ?
Thanks in advance.
currently I'm using Darkwolf_FW ROM, besides the minor bugs I'm extremely happy
none of the ROMs atm have a working wifi tethering via hotspot. Again, the camera bug. The device with a 6.0.1 port generally feels "not-like-a-smartphone"

I'm curious, why that ROM? What is different or unique about it that makes it better than any of the existing 6.0.1 Ports? I'm not disagreeing with you or anything.. Just wondering why.

Man.So hard to search a little.All s7 ports are based on darkera.So all are started from there,same bugs.Rom port means that it's taken from another phone like note5,s6,s7 so from the beggining will be bugs.To early to be all fixed.Only different base that is not darkera's port is s5 mm port.You fill find here,but also with bugs.If you don't want bugs buy a new phone with mm.But for that is the comunity here to help each other and give a solution for our older note 3.Also i have a 5.1.1 port stable as primary rom and a s7 port in dual mode to test. Problems that encounter with s7 port are always display and nfc.All other things like gps,hotspot and etc are working.I think depends on the phone.But also will be fixed.

So hard to search a little? What are you talking about. If you read the post I quoted, you will clearly see that I am simply asking why he felt that the port he provided a link to was the best in comparison to the other ports. I only was curious because as as far as I know, all the 6.0.1 ports have the same bugs as you mentioned. That's why I asked what makes that ROM different /unique from the rest for it to be considered the best (according to him). I too am back on a 5.1.1 port as I can't deal with no hotspot functionality which the 6.0.1 ports suffer from right now.

Not a selfie fan so didn't try.Better makes photo back camera.
Try resurrection remix rom. It was my daily driver and didn't give me any crashes. All functions are working perfectly. The dozer mode did save battery a lot when the phone was on standby, but I did find the battery draining faster when I used the phone compared to the stock lollipop ROM.
Hope you find the one you like!
Evening all, finally got my hands on this device this evening and I am very impressed so far. The only real issue I have come across is video playback in YouTube and Instagram (the only two options I have so far been able to view videos on) is playing speed up?? Has anyone experienced this and know how to get the videos to play back at normal speed?
I have done a little search and came up with no answers so far.
Anyways thanks in advance and look forward to tinkering with this phone in the near future.
One of the 1st things I will checkout is if it is worth doing any ota updates if there are any? Or stay on this version of 6.0.1 for ease of rooting if that is the case like some other phones I have had in the past.
Again any help appreciated
Cheers Hoppi
Never experienced that issue. Could be a problem with your WiFi, or maybe the ROM. Try clearing the app cache and data for both apps.
There are no OTA updates for this device, and you're likely on an unofficial 20s multi-language shop ROM. If you want to use custom ROMs in the future, you should not switch to a stock firmware anyway, since your device will get permabricked if you flash any official stock ROM like 26s through TWRP. Read the sticky in this forum and read the bootloader unlock guide in the x722 development section here.

Many thanks for the info buddy I will see how I get one with the sped up playback and feedback.

Thanks again.
I have looked up on so many search results but I can't find a custom Android 9 Pie ROM for this phone that is based Stock Android. This phone is cheap and probably is yet to be released in the US by some weeks. I don't have a high end phone and this one is a really cheap one so probably people aren't hyped about though it is one of the most worth-for-the-money phones. So my question is, can a developer make a Custom ROM for this phone if it's possible. If not, what should I do. I don't know what it takes to make custom ROM and probably I am talking about something not practically possible but I'd be more than happy to get a Custom ROM for this phone.
I'm have Galaxy A20 and I understand you, in Russia, too, not a lot of people who use this smartphone, but in order to have a custom ROM, you need to make TWRP, and there you can use Project Treble or other custom ROM
I have no idea how to do that. Can you please do that if possible?

Useful information about how to making custom rom for galaxy a20. But ask to professional is best way to get your solution.
No I don't have AOD. My phone seems to not support it.

They are indeed very similar in specs. Modifying the ROM for A30 to a ROM for A20 would basically only be changing a few values if my understanding of ROMs is correct. I hope to get a good news soon.
I've contacted Mike Channon from xda and he told me that we need 40 to 60 threads before we get our own forum.

Hi, I am using a CyanogenMod 11 Build since years and it is very stable and battery saving. But it is not up to date with security patches. I don't know the source anymore, but here is a copy of the image I have installed:

mega DOT nz/file/CbhSUABI#8jEq0_Uf45g31ECE3YhqUUvkxdGH6Xa5HQFzMzZjxvk
Sorry for that link, I have not enough posts at the moment.
There is a camera bug. The "Camera Restarter" App helps here. But sometimes it takes multiple tries to get the video recorder working.
From time to time I give a chance to LOS 14.1, but there are still bugs, I won't live with.

So, the Quebec government here has come out with a vaccine passport which will be needed to do just about anything. Therefore, I will need to upgrade the wife's S5 to 8.1, from 6.1, as 8.1 is the minimum for this app to work. This goes into effect September 1.
Now, I see a bunch of things online obviously, but as I recall this place here was/is the holy grail for cell phones. Just hoping to not have to buy a new phone as our pensions don't leave all that much wiggle room.
Note that I just need the stock rom for 8.1. Not looking to root or other such things.
Model #sm-g900w8
Just need to be pointed in the right direction is all. Once I know a source can be trusted I should, hopefully, be able to take it from there.
Thanks.
Well, I do need to try anyway, otherwise I will absolutely have to buy a new phone, which I am trying to avoid if possible.
Thanks though.
Had replied to you in a different thread that didn't have as much info as above.
Unfortunately there is absolutely no chance of getting a stock 8.1 rom on the S5 they stopped developing at 6.1
Best bet is to flash a custom rom like LOS or mokee both trusted roms. But you'll need to flash a custom recovery TWRP.
But yeah Unfortunately that's basically your only option without upgrading the device for a newer model
Good luck
