Using S5 Custom Roms - Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, has anybody ever tried to use Lineage OS or other custom roms from the normal S5 (SG-900F)? Is it advisable or it could create seripus problems? Any feedback would be really appreciated.

I am also very interested in this question. I can imagine, that the S5 and S5 Neo are not so different from each other so that it might work.
However, for example TWRP doesn't let you flash roms, which are not specific for your device. This might me a very good idea, because I had read that flashing the wrong rom might brick your phone. And I'm not willing to take that chance and just try it.

maaaayyyyybeeee roms from the exynos s5 might work?
but from the snapdragon s5?
i don't think so

[Q] Can't find custom ROM for Cricket S4 'jflteaio'

Hello,
I am having trouble finding a custom ROM for my Cricket galaxy S4. Model is SGH-I337Z, codename 'jflteaio'. I have TWRP 2.7 recovery installed along with Touch-wiz ROM, Skyfall. But I would really like to have at least one custom ROM for this device. I have looked through the unified section, as well as the AT&T section with no luck for 'jflteaio'. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you all
Dan
I don't know if there are roms specific for that device.
The rom you mention is for a i337 right? Then maybe all the roms from that device work. Just flash them and see if they boot.
If not then you probably need to port them yourself, there are plenty of guides out here that explain how to do that.

Noob question: Latest and stable slim ROM for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-g900F (unlocked)

Hello,
it's since I lost my old Omnia 900 that I don't login on this forum, so please forgive my question, I am not updated at all.
I also remember the hours lost to find the best suitable ROM for the Omnia, so I really don't want to experience that again.
I'd like to clean my Galaxy S5 and in order to do so, I don't want to experiment with unstable builds or similar.
I just would like to use the cleanest and most stable rom available that would let my galaxy S5 be fully functional.
Which ROM would you suggest me to use? BTW I actually know nothing except how to do a simple root, so if you have any links, is also appreciated.
I got some answers already, like: Phoenix rom and Blissrom.
Again I need the bare minimum, but with all the full set of samsung features enabled (minus the samsung software though, if, for example, finger scan needs some software, I will install it).

Best custom rom for N910F BTU?

Hello all, might have posted this in the wrong section, however .
Can anyone advise whats the best stable, custom non stock rom for the N910F Note 4, BTU?
There;s that many around.
Ideally one that has 'S' pen features and doze working.
Never tried a custom rom before, thought I'd give one a try, hopefully to banish all the google bloatware!
Cheers

Are there any custom roms for the SM-G360G variant?

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Core Prime G360G and I've searched but can't find custom roms for this variant.
Is it because there are none at all? Can I flash using roms another variant? Like the G360H?
Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers!
Hi there.
To my knowledge and research , since I also have this model, this is a rare species and no such ROMs appear to exist.
Don't be tempted to try the more popular G360H rom, the hardware is different, and this is certain to brick your phone!
However, there is a rootkit available thanks to ChainFire. So you can root it. If you are keen you can use this as the base for your own mods. Not a custom ROM. But at least you can hack around the system. Main site below, though considered depreciated it comes up in a search first. And a link to a G360G rooter below that.

Performance with Custom ROM Oreo/Nougat vs Stock Lollipop on S4?

Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I'm really curious about the performance of Nougat or Oreo using a Custom ROM versus the stock Lollipop on an S4 I9505.
Do the Custom ROMS of Nougat/Oreo really improve the performance on an I9505 compared to the stock Lollipop? How about the battery?
Really looking forward to answers regarding this.
Anyone who knows this or could test this out of me?
Everyone has different needs whereby one custom ROM may be perfect for one person and a stock ROM is perfect for another person.
I highly recommend reading through the custom ROM forum, selecting a few to try, and using it over a few days with your most-used apps.

Thanks for your answer. Is there a specific custom ROM with Oreo/Nougat that you might have in mind when it comes to performance?
Unfortunately, I can't provide any recommendations since I haven't had a working s4 for a months.
