Cyanogene and S5 : Too many different S5 versions. Which are compatible? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just broke my G900F and would like to replace it. I want a new S5 with cyanogene on it and I want it to be compatible with my other G900F Battery.
I looked at the most recent S5 versions but I am not sure if cyanogene will works on them. The cyanogene website is not really clear about this info.
Do you guys know?
Do you know if the S5 Plus (newer processor) will be ok with the "stock" cyanogene?
And what about the G906S and G906?
Thanks for your help

Official CM works only with Snapdragon 801 G900* variants (of course except H).

yep, most Cyanogenmod ROMs will work on most US S5 variants. If youre looking for opinions, Resurrection Remix is hard to go wrong with, but if you want to play the field, just look for KLTESPR builds

[Q] when will the note3 n900 model get aosp roms

I was just wondering why only the snapdragon version of note3 got aosp Rom. Is there any cyanogenmod or any other aosp Rom for note3 n900 exymos model?
If I am not mistaken, it is because there are no sources available, which are required to make custom ROMs.
It will be possible when Samsung makes Exynos sources available. If it happens ever at all.
I am also wondering, when people would actually use the search button.... It's an awesome feature of XDA!
If not working, googling "exynos note 3 aosp xda" would get you loads of hits.

SMG900W8 ROMs.

So my friend would like to install a custom ROM for his S5, model name SMG900W8. Which ROMs work? I don't have a S5 at all so I have no clue which works and which doesn't.
Check the development sections and have at err. Almost all of them should work for you. I'm running PAC-ROM on my 900w8

[Q] SM-N900V vs SM-N900

Good day everybody. I just wanted to find out about the N900 variant. I have the N900V locked to verizon but it's sim unlocked so I can use it at my country.
How do you go about installing custom roms on the N900?
Is the bootloader unlockable?
Does it support AOSP roms?
I don't play graphic intensive games so I'm thinking about trading it for a N900 version and flashing an AOSP rom.
Can anybody give me a general response on how the N900 is in terms of development?
take a look at the developement thread.
As far as i know there are some Roms, but not as much as for the Snapdragon version. For example CyanogenMod12 is avaiable but just as Pre-Alpha and cm11 left at beta stage..

does it matter getting models other than D802?!

hey guys does it matter getting other versions of this device ?! D800,LS/VS980 or others ?!
i don't know much about bootloaders here and if they are locked like samsung !!
will i have any problems with installing custom roms or kernels ?!
thank you in advance
have a good day
There is no difference in CPU, RAM, camera module, display and GPU but there are differences in network support, wi-fi chip attributes etc. Some models do not have FM Radio chip. I think that Verison model also looks different (buttons and camera) and there is korean model that has a removable back and SD card slot with terrestrial TV antenna.
Now, there are unified ROMs and kernels that are universal and support all variants (models) but each variant has variant specific ROMs and kernels. Bigger and more popular ROMs are for most of variants, like CM 12.1 based ROMs and AOSP ROMs (Ressurection remix, Bliss Pop) and there are popullar Cloudy ROMs that also work on most variants as well as MIUI ROM. So there is no worries that you wont ger X rom with Y variant but if you are really picky there are some variant exclusive ROMs that cant be installed on some other variants.
Your best bet would be a D802. It is the international version and you shouldn't have any problems.
Thank you @5ageman and @Orcam
well guys it's at&t D800 model i wasn't exactly sure before asking here
strange thing i heared that D800 has noise cancellation near camera as a difference from D802 model which sadness me for the back covers when trying to get one, idk why they made that stupid difference !!
i got me a d800 no big deal for me the roms i want are there for my device..just make sure the cover has the hole for att phone..
