Does anyone have a recommendation for a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 ROM that's more or less vanilla Android and capable of being used with a systemless root?
You mean a SM-G900T?
How I think LineageOS looks quite vanilla and is probably one of the most stable ROMs for the S5.
What do you mean by systemless root?
In LineageOS you can enable root for apps by flashing the su add-on.

After a long love affair with the Galaxy phones I gave up on Samsung and recently switched from my locked down AT&T GS5a to the Pure and have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.
Looking through the threads about rooting the Pure with 6.0 it seems a bit troublesome and convoluted with people loosing wifi or boot-looping.
In my experience with Samsung, custom roms have been pre-rooted but they used to mention it someplace in the first post. Has it just become the standard and no longer mentioned? Am I safe to assume that I can flash away now to my hearts content and have a rooted phone unless I flash a back to stock?
The custom ROMs all have root.
All of the CM and AOSP based ROMs either include a built-in su daemon that you can toggle in developer settings or flash supersu as part of their install.
The only stock based custom ROM is trupure, and it is prerooted.
Hi guys! I'm searching android 6.1 ROM for my Galaxy Core Prime [SM-G361F]. You know where I can find it?
Thanks.
Nope. At the moment, there's no Marshmallow ROM (custom or official) for G361F.
Yeah we have to wait.
Did someone start to make them already?
This would be great, Marshmallow looks better than the cancerous (my opinion) Lollipop firmware, but I think that actually no developer want to really work on this model. Bringing root and a recovery was the minimum, then to go further you can install XPosed for custom builds but creating custom or adapting stock ROMs? Nah.
Hey, recently came from an outdated OPX, and just wanted to see how much of that functionality I can replicate on the OP5.
For example, I've heard CM is kinda dead, so that's out the door. For a custom ROM, what's a good one that people would recommend? I've seen FreedomOS, Resurrection Remix, and LineageOS.
Next, for rooting, would it be a similar process where I flash SuperSU and use Xposed Installer to find/install modules?
Any tips on customizing my device would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Lineage is CM. For rooting you can use Magisk or SuperSU. The choice is yours, but if you want to hide root, use Magisk.
As for Xposed, there is none for Nougat. So no modules for you; you will have to rely on the customization options of the ROM.
That being said, the most feature rich ROMs are Resurrection Remix and AICP.

Thanks for the reply and recommendations!
Are there any pros and cons between Magisk and SuperSU other than hiding root? Also what are the key differences in Lineage, RR and AICP that could help me decide between them?
In addition to that, what would a custom ROM include that stock OOS doesn't? I'm currently rooted with TWRP on stock ROM for now.
hiding the root is pretty much the biggest pro here as it would allow you to use apps such as pokemon go or android pay.
Yeah, that's actually a really nice feature. I couldn't play Pokemon GO since forever ago, and now I can make use of Android Pay.
I'm just still wondering on how to choose a ROM, there's a lot to choose from. RR official/unofficial and AICP are the ones that look interesting right now.

Those are the most feature rich ROMs. Since Xposed isn't an option, you may want to choose one of them.
As the title states, I was wondering if anyone has been developing nougat based roms that I can use? I would rather have the ability to have twrp installed to the second partition and an easier way to root since nougat is somewhat lax in the way you root it. Maybe an unofficial build of lineage? I'm not ready to try out Oreo out yet.
Hello
Like in topic - Can someone fix this ?
Is this even possible ?
I would be happy to at least have root on stock rom - CyanogenMod LineageOS 13 have 2 small bugs ,but sadly devs don't want fix them.
Nope,sorry.
To have magisk installed and still pass safety net you need to enable magiskhide.
That feature requires a kernel version of 3.8 or higher.
Well sm t235 do not have a custom or stock ROM that have a kernel version of 3.8 or higher.
Source:I am a sm t235 user
That's sad that no dev scene for such great device....
I have this same kernel ,but seems that you have outdated rom
Here is mine screenshot

IMO stock ROM is too laggy for me.
Mine was outdated because it's a modded version with less bloat(based on stock).
I'm using cm 12 and it's now a lot smoother than Samsung stock rom.
I've freezed all bload apps on stock
can i get help to root my device? id like to install android 6.0 to my sm-t235
