How come this phone is out for over 1month now and there are no custom roms for it? Referring to the G850F European version here.
I want to get this phone so bad, but having to deal with fail touchwiz will make me sick... I want a proper slim rom on it

Nothing yet brother. We are all waiting for some Devs to get interested in this phone so we can do the Root, Rom, Recovery thing! Samsung screwed it up by making it exclusive to ATT when the popularity could of gone higher if it were in more wireless companies! Thanx Samsung! Just give it time. The phone just came out and hopefully a Dev will jump on this phone soon!
I will soon buy this phone!!! In greece is unlocked to any carrier and almost every shop sells it...i hope they change the AT&T thing fast!!
I have bought this phone with the hope that cyanogenmod arrives on this device. Maybe the problem that blocks the interest of developers is the chipset exynos 5430...

But who cares about knox? It's just some useless "feature" that makes no sense (booting on a different OS to keep your data "secure" wtf is that bs about really...) and warranty void is nothing to be afraid of, if u have a perfectly functioning device you won't need the warranty... just want a fking custom rom to get rid of bloatware-touchwiz and make it all black and awesome ...screw knox!
I make contact with edenmony,m8 who like to make rom for us
this is his answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56209236&postcount=23
we must try to find help if we wont ROM recovery come to us
I also try contact with Note4 m8,who develop Recoveryfor exynos model
but still dont get reply
What happened to the threads in the developer sections?
there no development thread at all m8,only chit chat
Correct. There were a couple in there but they were deleted. Just wondering why. I understand no actual ROM's are available but there were discussions.
AFAIK they were moved under "General". It was just "Join Forces" and "Root Galaxy Alpha" threads. I don't remember that there were any other threads.

Decided not to buy one anymore, not worth it since I will just be getting annoyed at Samsung's TouchWiz... Will recheck forum in 1month or so near Black Friday and see if there's anything new.
Till then, I wish you gl, it's a great phone (perfect form factor) but the OS on it is utter fail and I wouldn't last a day, would be switching to my S2 with SlimSaber ROM in a glimpse

Is anyone working on a root for the AT&T variant of the Alpha? Please and Thank you.
Been waiting for a root as well. Hopefully a developer will come up with one soon. Loving the phone.
Yes, anything to allow me to remove the stock bloatware and install a proper adblocker. Surprisingly this variant of Touchwiz isn't all that bad though, at least.

Which CPU? Doesn't the AT&T version have a Snapdragon 801? I thought dealing with that CPU is easier than dealing with the Exynos.

Isnt all ATT phone are bootloader lock? That means you cannot install things like TWRP. If you cant install TWRP, then you cant install any cook roms. Correct me.
That is why people buy T-mobile phone to use on ATT.

Newbi here looking for some help.
I have a galaxy s3 i9300 and I want to go to lollipop. The flash counter was tripped twice on the phone by the store I bought the phone from, so it doesnt automatically update.
I dont care about losing any and all data on the device. Can someone point me to the simplest way to do this? I did search but getting lost with some of the terms and unsure what applies to me. The only thing I need to make sure of is the phone still has no issues when I use different sims when I switch carriers in different countries when traveling.
Thanks for the help

There are no official updates to lollipop for i9300, neither was kitkat, so your best bet is to go unnoficial for all your SWEET needs (get it?).

It will never be. If you want updates you go for a nexus device.
There isn't even an official kitkat 4.4 update for the i9300. 4.3 Jellybean was the final rom released. Samsung won't mess with it anymore since they can't get their bloated touchwiz working the way they want on a device with 1gb of RAM, even though the ditto note 4 kitkat rom pretty much did it.
Now that we all have unlocked bootloaders with "developer edition conversion" on our Verizon note edge, we got root and everything ...But no roms or that good developer stuff I know there's people out there with the skills required to make this Phone great again...we just gotta find em...in the meantime though...post all the things you know are flash able on our notes, ROMs, kernels ?
you are right
That would be awesome if there was more development for it.

I just flashed that ROM...liked the concept but I honestly wish it didn't have all those extra things that ruin the stock look...like the notification bar and the super low dpi on the home screen, thanks man I'll be trying all sorts of Roms from other threads and update you guys on how it goes
I'm hoping some development happens on this phone too. So much potential for cool ROMs. Anyone want to start a bounty?

It's a N5/S7 port, so no Edge apps, but the S7 People/App Stripe is there
Edit: Fully booted and rooted. Working pretty good.

reflash your stock tar in odin and go through the bootloader unlock again and try another that way. as long as you can get your phone into download mode it is never really hard bricked.... usually... sometimes....
Hey guys don't want to jump ahead of the gun on this one, but want to let you know I am downloading 4 marshmallow roms that should work on our devices, and tomorrow I am going to load them on my rom machine and see if I can decompile them and get them going for note edge using our boot.img and the custom kernel posted in the marshmallow unlock theead.
I don't promise anything, and I can't upload them when I'm done cause I haven't gotten permission from the original devs, I don't want to waste their time just in case it doesn't work, one of which is completely free of all touch wiz related material and has xposed running on the MM os. Pretty big deal considering how xposed likes to kill samsung devices running 6.0
More info tomorrow after I test it a bit, for now good night all.
I just picked up a mint condition Note Edge (915V). Id like to start working on a ROM for it, but it would be nice to have a base to work with. Anybody have a flashable stock Marshmallow (CPD1) ROM that's 100% untouched (deodexed preferred). Still has all its bloat.
I used to make a ROM this way for the Droid 3, but that was a little easier than it is now. Id like to help out the lacking development for the Note Edge.

Anybody willing to test PAC ROM 6.0.1?
I have been making ROMs for the N915F and N915T, and, by God's grace, they have been working.
I do not own a N915V, so I need some testers, if anyone is willing. Here is a link to download PAC 6.0.1 made for CDMA phones:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/7he853zinf6x3f7
You may need a data fix zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/marshmallow-6-0-1-ports-data-fixes-t3379978
You will need the unlocked bootloader.
I *think* you will need to be on a 5.1.1 bootloader and modem, but you can try on 6.0.1 also. You will need TWRP, preferably 3.0 and later, although cwm may work too, and this may or may not work. I am pretty sure it will boot, because of a tester I am working with, but the more testers the better. I need actual details, like what modem/bootloader you are using, if it did or did not boot, install, work, etc. Screenshots help me visualize what you are talking about. Etc.
If it works, we can make more ROMs.
I can't tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Still testing my next ROM version for my 915V

This is a paid option and not for developer types like us. I am not convinced they support our USA model 955U anyway.
I would think Chainfire might come out with something like happened with S7 Edge. We shall see. Been 3 weeks.

Think you missed the "lol" portion if my post
So I have been doing some research and the same kind of issue was occurring with the S7/Edge and there was a modified ODIN and "Engineering" boot.img (kernel) that claims to root the device. So I am curious if using that "modified hack" version of ODIN and a boot.img that has a kernel compatible with snapdragon (the only one I see in main s8+ forum is for Exynos). Not sure if this is really safe to do but I am guessing that once enough devs want root on this device, something will be out there. Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I have trieed Kingroot but always fail!!!
I hope Chainfire can do something for us.
Anyway: eng kernel exist for this device? Snapdragon version ofcourse.
I contacted the support team for oneclickroot and they said that they do not have a root for the US versions of the S8+.
Was wondering if there would be a way to modify and or port the s7 boot.img to an s8+ variant? Maybe even a way to "trick" it as to read it like an exynos vairant processor?
i just bougt sprint s8+ off swappa. any update to the rooting it cause im gonna unlock it.

I've tried KingRoot, but it's hot garbage. Seeing so much in the way of information regarding the S8 Plus having a locked bootloader (Sprint ENG_US version or any other carrier variant for that matter), and I was wondering if there is any new information? Eager to root this bad boy, but no bueno thus far. I'm seeing the information for international ones using the Exynos, but I found this 'CF-Auto-Root-dream2qltesq-dream2qltesq-smg955u.tar' earlier this afternoon. Not even sure if this is compatible and I'm not going to be the guinea pig today. Has anybody else messed with this kit?
Anybody have any relevant information pertaining to effective rooting of the S8 Plus on Sprint by chance? Until I hear of some success with this, I'm not going to attempt. Got a bit of a qualm with a $1K paperweight. Please advise.
Thanks!
Hi guys, before I had s7ege, s8plus and I always use custom roms but now I've just bought a SM-G965U1 which seems like a powerful phone but i don't see any custom roms for it. I'm looking for a custom rom for it, so if you know that please share.
