so I got this galaxy s5 (free) to replace the S4 I had.. I'm on AT&T and the S5 is a T-Mobile device.. I unlocked and am currently using on AT&T without any issues.. I tried Cyanogenmod 12 on it.. had way too many Bluetooth music issues.. so I switched back to a rooted t-mobile stock.. which is terrible.. bluetooth music works great but everything is is painfully slow.. so I want to find a good fast custom rom (that also has proper bluetooth music support).. With so many device versions and so many custom roms I'm just a bit perplexed.. I found some that are debloated stock roms which seem like that would be good. but I'm just a bit confused on what parts I need to have as "t-mobile g900t" and which parts I don't have to have that way? so yeah this is a bit of a newbie question (even though I have run 4 or 5 custom roms in the past (original galaxy s and my s4 both had custom roms). .but those were always at&t devices on at&t network.. so was an easier choice..
at any rate.. looking for some tips on how to best find the right rom.. Would love to do this today/tomorrow.. avoid messing with the phone during the work week..
Thanks in advance!!

Try the latest stock ROM for the phone. Many of us were having issues with lag with prior 5.1.1 ROMS. The latest ROM has fixed all these issues. Very snappy.
i feel like i remember seeing bluetooth/audio fixes & updates in the CM13 nightly changelogs, you also didnt specify which CM 12 you installed... the last 12.1 snapshot from october or the last nightly from december?
You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)
Unfortunately the only Marshmallow available for this phone so far is CM-13 based so it's also crap and full of bugs...
To be honest, no ROM you find will be perfect. The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.

much improved deep sleep battery means crap & full of bugs? i'm over a week behind on nightlies & there arent that many bugs... http://www.cmxlog.com/13/klte/ things are improving all the time, only CM 12.1 is stuck... but the last december nightly isnt buggy either
Sort of forgot about this thread. first Thanks for the replies.. So I have been using CM13 since I posted this.. and this has great for speed.. but BlueTooth continues to suck.. no matter what bluetooth device I use with this Rom it skips and stutters. I've finally had enough.. it's been quite a long time with this issue so time for me to switch.. I will try one of the rooted stock roms and debloat it with one of those tools.. thanks again everyone!

Go to the international s5 site look at Tamirda's phoenix rom . It's 6.0.1 mm very snappy very few bugs. Very moddable. Just load a stock mm rom from here first than so you have the proper bootloader and modem. After installing you feel like you got a mini s7. Good good.

Question.. I currently have CM13 loaded in this phone.. so do I still need to do the "Just load a stock mm rom" first? I assumed I already had the proper bootloader and modem..
thanks!

If you have the mm bootloader and modem installed just wipe and flash. But I believe cm 13 could be ran on the lp bootloader. I odined the stock tar first that way you know all the partitions are proper. Than Odin Twrp 3 0.0 . Make sure you back up your data from internal storage because when you Odin factory package it wipes phone storage. I learned this the hard way lost a bunch of pictures lol anyway I found this to be the best way. Hoping this helps....

1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?
2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?
3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)
thanks again!

Get any phone info app and check and see if your bootloader ends in pe1 if it don't you don't have mm bootloader. Teamwin is twrp just make sure it's version 3.0.0 that version seems to do best with the phoenix rom.

thanks for sticking with me on the all the newbie questions.. bootloader version reported as G900TUV1FOG6.. later in the list it shows Latest Firmware: G900TUVUGPE1/G900TTMBGPE1/G900TUVU1GPE1.. so at first I was thinking I was ok.. but that second entry had me wondering.. (dang.. just noticed this was never submitted (from 6/28).. oh well)..
ok.. So I assumed I'm good to go.. installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2).. wiped the data area and tried to flash Phoenix.. It starts installing Aroma.. and within a couple of seconds the phone reboots back into TWRP.. did this a few times.. rebooting into the OS gets me a new Cyanagenomod not Phoenix.. figure I must be missing a step somewhere (or have something that is preventing Phoenix from installing).. thoughts?
thanks again!!

I think you still don't have the correct bootloader . The firmware is mm because your using CM13. The easiest way to get it done for sure is to odin the official MM firmware. Than install Twrp 3.0.0 flash superuser to have root . Reboot in recovery and flash phoenix rom v12.0 than the 12.6 update. This may take extra time this way but all the partitions will be correct. Or odin bootloader in BL slot and modem in cp slot . Don't set for auto reboot pull battery back into download mode Odin Twrp pull battery. Reboot into recovery than flash superuser. Than flash phoenix. Good luck

OK.. you may be right.. I downgraded TWRP to 3.0.0 and the install started working fine.. but now the reboot into Phoenix has been going for about 35 mins.. I know it can take some time but that seems extreme.. will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't work I'll try the steps you listed above..
thanks again

Gary look in this general section for the post that instructs you how to install factory mm. Follow the guide. Google to see how to install factory tar files using Lunix . I'm guessing my instructional writing skills leave something to be desired lol . Once you have the factory mm up and running install Twrp flash superuser reboot. Than reboot into recovery flash phoenix rom. Good good

Haven't signed in to XDA since 2012 LOL. But anyway I have been seeing a few post from some users with a little problem after flashing a custom ROM. Mostly with an AOSP ROM (CM11, AOKP) Etc. This problem only seems to occur after taking the sprint KitKat OTA and then flashing TWRP with Auto Rec, Followed by flashing a custom rom. I've had this same problem when flashing CM11 to unlock my sprint variant for T-Mobile. The sound was completely gone.!!! Zip Ziltch!! No where to be found. Couldn't place calls because the call screen would go black and then come back with a call ended error. I've been searching for a solution for this for the longest and it seems like on every forum when everyone has this issue and needs help there is no response from any member. So I'm here to help in any way that I can. I found this solution after unlocking 3 G2's yesterday.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SOMEHOW BRICK OR FRY YOUR DEVICE. BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU AGREE THAT EVERYTHING STEP YOU TAKE IS ON YOU. YOU.!! THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON 3 G2'S AND WAS CONFIRMED WORKING. I SUGGEST THAT NOOBS WAIT FOR A CONFIRMATION FROM A DEV BEFORE PROCEEDING. THANK YOU.
I AM GOING TO ASSUME YOU ARE BACK TO YOUR STOCK ROM BEFORE DOING THIS, IF NOT JUST GO INTO RECOVERY, DO A FULL WIPE AND FLASH THE ZIP.
Before you begin download the KitKat modem from this link h t t p : / / forums (dot) xda - developers (dot) com / showthread (dot) php?t=2705509 ( can't post links) and place the zip on the root of you internal storage.
STEP 1 - FLASH THE CUSTOM ROM OF YOUR CHOICE.
STEP 2 - AFTER FLAHSING DO NOT FLASH GAPPS JUST YET. BOOT INTO THE ROM AND COMFIRM THAT THE SOUND IS INDEED DEAD.
STEP 3 - TURN OFF THE DEVICE AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY.
STEP 4 - DO A FULL WIPE AND FLASH THE KITKAT MODEM YOU DOWNLOADED. I DIDNT FLASH GAPPS YET TIL AFTER I BOOTED UP AND CONFIRMED WORKING SOUND, BUT YOU CAN FLASH THEM IF YOU WANT *BE CAUTIOUS, IM NOT SURE IF IT WILL DAMAGE ANYTHING*
But after you boot back up do some sound checks. Place a call and you should now have working sound. Congrats!! You did it! I have done this method on 3 sprint G2's so far. Have not tried other variants but they all should work the same.

Hello, I have this problem on a Samsung Galaxy Epress GT 18730. Which modems would I have to use?
Are you running a custom ROM.? I can't really speak for the express. First you have to make sure the sound drivers are there. If they are then try and locate the latest modem. It might be hard to find since the express doesn't really get a lot of attention.

Non of the above link cause they're meant for the g2 so not the express. Try to find modems in the galaxy express thread if there are any but just dont flash this modem, dont even try it. It would definetly not work.

Did you flashed the whole system.tar or whut idk how it goes by samsung anymore :9. Can you like extract from the tar.md5 and flash the modem.bin in the Phone section if I am right. You can just extract the things from the tar.md5 by renaming tar.md5 to tar.
But i believed that if you flash the whole Tar.md5 thing from Samsung that it flashes all files inside
Just try to extract the modem.bin from the tar.md5 and flash it in phone

Lol yeah, a Netherlands one. Thanks for taking the time out to check on my replies to this thread sir!
I got this problem on my LS980 today.
Let me just quote my post from the rom thread:
"I got no sound after flashing this rom on my LS980. Came from Cloudy's rom, full wipe, flashed rom, gapps and the bloat removal script from the gapps thread. No sound, anywhere-not in youtube, not in music player, not in settings, can't be a hardware issue since I had no problems on previous rom and it doesn't work with headphones, too."
I wanted to flash the modem, but the link is dead ;( any ideas what to do? I'm still on custom rom.
EDIT: back-up from ZVE stock kit-kat solved the problem. Now, what should I do to flash custom rom and have working sound..?
Hi guys, this is the latest Lollipop ROM rolled out by LG for the international G Pad 8.3.
It's the corean update but works just fine with mine and i hope also with your.
INFO:
1- You can flash it with the TWRP like every Rom out here, i used the bumped TWRP in the original devs thread;
2- The kernel is stock, i only set selinux to permissive because in my works for the G3 i've seen that it's the only way to avoid permission issues;
3- it's bumped so doesn't need nothing special, just flash it in TWRP like i said above;
4- You can dirty flash over the stock 4.4.2 ROM, i made it and had no issues at all.
5- If you are asking why you should flash this instead of the kdz, the answer is that with the "kdz way" you will upload your Bootloader too and you will lost the possibility to flash the twrp and any custom kernel since the new BL patch the exploit used by Bump.
DOWNLOAD
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553953

The rom is unrooted, to root it just flash this in recovery:

Thanks very much once again ?
Flashed this and everything seems ok so far. Supersu didnt work for me in the first flash with ROM, but when i got back into recovery the second flash worked. Root seems to be pretty strong thus far. I am going to run this for the next few days and see how stock Lollipop is working. Thanks again for this!
Ran for a couple minutes and noticed vibration doesn't work. Do I need to enable something? Pretty solid so far!
Edit: You have to reboot for vibration
Looking great for me so far ,no issues,though I have a lot of setting up to do still ?
Hello,
Very good rom
bye bye kit kat and external sd storage problems
Thank you very much for this rom
Fantastic! Thanks for the work and sharing.
Just flashed it dirty and seems to work flawless.
Major improvements over 4.4 are the "recents apps" button and being able to switch user without having to use hard power button.
Thank you for sharing this!
Can anybody answer me what's with battery, is it worse than on KitKat? And is gamma fixed?
Thank you one again! Cheers!
Sweet! Downloading right now, thank you!!

I did. Full wipe worked fine.
Only issue I've noticed so far is the lockscreen weather doesn't seem to work.
I set it up as you would with the g3 but no luck.
Anyone managed to get it working?
For reference, I started with a completely wiped /formated tablet.
Hey dev, when you say 'dirt flash' you mean I have to wipe nothing? Just like if it is an OTA? Do I lose something?
rom is running very smooth so far without any problems, living in germany. much faster as KK relase.
thank you dev!
Skin yoy are awsome!
Glad to see you here to.. Lg g3 owner mate congrats and keep doing your thing.... Thanks once again you great developer!!!!

Yes.. Thats what i mean. But if you are on aosp rom you must wipe.
And with dirty flash you will not lose anything

I used to root and flash like crazy on all my previous android phones. When I got my s5 last June, I just rooted it so I could use Ad Free and let it be.
Now I'm wanting to get it up to date on lollipop. Doesn't have to be the stock ROM, but close to it, maybe just slimmed down a bit if anything.
Can someone tell me, based on my version in the screenshot, what the procedure is at this point? I know when I used to be doing this all the time there were always new tools, recoveries, methods etc. that needed to be followed to avoid bricking or any problems so I don't want to just download the first lollipop ROM I see and flash it since it's been nearly a year since I rooted the phone and haven't done anything to it since. Thanks very much for any help.
EDIT: I should also mention when I boot to recovery it says it's Android System Recovery, so it appears I never had CWM or TWRP installed.

Use twisted lollipop v5
It's built off kitkat base but lollipop rom very cool stable and some tweaks . You do not have to be on official lollipop update to flash it .Just root flash twrp recovery for t-mobile s5 download rom and flash

Is the se for android permissive?
Whatever u do, don't go lollipop. It's full of annoying little problems. I rooted and I should have stopped there. Rooting doesn't affect Knox. I changed get the recovery to twrp and tripped Knox. Mind u, just to check out the roms. Decent roms but all the ones that have lollipop all have the same b.s. Errors lollipop comes with. Oh and u can downgrade incase u upgrade and don't like lollipop. It won't affect Knox.
?twisted v5 is good, I've been running it. I also flashed dob1 firmware.
Hi I am new to rooting - just did this the first time today.
I followed instructions here and got root via CWM
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
then flashed Gummy via these instructions
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...custom-rom-using-cwm-on-rooted-galaxy-note-3/
after first flash it was stuck in the boot
I flashed again as suggested in the above link if stuck in boot for 10 minutes.
It booted but got this many time 'process isn't responding' and got these options 'wait' or 'stop'
After 4-5 'waits' it booted...only to last 30-60 seconds while i tested an app or two ...then it would reboot.
I was on lollipop and now on 4.4.4 gummy. no problem during root. only problem seems the auto-rebooting
Where is this gummy rom?

Ok first the gummy ROM is in a AOSP rom for a 9005 AT&T device it is not designed for your phone if you are running a sprint note 3. You need to pull the battery then reinstall battery hold the power button the menu button and the volume down button at the same time once the phone boots up with a yellow triangle then push the volume up button. this will get you into download mode you need to Odin flash the stock lollipop operating system that was in your phone before you flashed the gummy ROM. There is a thread in the Android development section for Sprint note 3 by JairSantana that has a stock .tar of lollipop that you can download and odin flash with a PC click on my signature on ROM flashing basics for the instructions on how to do it.
i got the info from here:
http://galaxynote3root.com/category/sprint-galaxy-note-3-roms/
i assumed it was accurate since it stated it was a sprint rom - but alas the above post by jim states otherwise...

I assumed it was true based on this site:
http://galaxynote3root.com/category/...y-note-3-roms/
but alas...
And the only reason I rooted and flashed was to get international sim unlock via SUU app (that worked under kitkat) but seemed not to work (crashed) when i was forced to upgrade to lollipop. (and to fix gps issues and mobile data widget which worked well on kitkat)
I assume flashing to stock lollipop will also NOT allow SUU to work.... (but this user says otherwise as I had asked before I rooted - as impatient for a response and thought I should root at long last to try everything else: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/upgraded-to-lollipop-ting-sprint-based-t3098952 )
Anyway will follow up with what you stated, will also try the other mentioned ROMs in the 'sprint note 3 rom' section.
thanks again

Ok sounds good if you have any problems just go to my thread on rom flashing basics in the general section and that will help you with instructions on how to flash Roms just remember that you can flash a rom as long as it is based on the operating system you have in your device. Since you are on lollipop which is Android 5. 0 there are not many ROMs available so you may have to flash back downgrade to 4. 4. 4 to have a better variety of ROMs to flash if you wish to flash an AOSP ROM remember that it has been ported and you will lose some of the original features of your note 3.
thanks for all this - will follow up on your thread in the 'general section'

YES you can use AOSP roms it's just that they have to be based on the OS that you have in your device and they have to be set up for a sprint devices. AOSP roms usually have different versions you just have to use the version that is set up for your device. The popular ones are CM 12 .
Galaxynote3root.com is a good site and has a lot of great info. just find the right version of the ROM you want to flash for Sprint devices on that website and you'll be good to go.

OK I just flashed MO AR rom and funnily it went from stock sprint 5.0 to MO AR 4.4.2.
Why ( how) did that happen ? Numerous ppl said you can't flash from 5.0 to 4.4...which is why I had all those issues with gummy and numerous other roms?
*still confused* )))
Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

Sweet. I could give that a try if the Cyanogenmod ROM doesn't work. Is there anything I need to do in preparation, since this is technically a Bell note? Or can I just go ahead and flash the ROM without any changes to the ZIP?

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!

Time for BlackJelly! Downloading now.
I also may need some help getting the SIM to work once this ROM is on. So that way, I can use this stock-rom based OS for actual phone things instead of it just being a tiny tablet! Yay!
Can you point me in the direction of the latest TWRP recovery that I can flash through Odin?

I'm not sure about Odin, but I flashed the latest TWRP to my device using Rashr from Google Play store.

Backup, backup, backup. If TWRP successfully installs then backup. If something goes wrong you can revert everything or just the boot partition. (Kernel)
