You can unlock bootloader, there is a TWRP but will there be any custom ROMs? Maybe there are and i'm just blind? :c

did you find any custom roms?
I would like to know if there is any developer that we can contact and ask him if there is any possibility for a custom rom
No. For whatever reason development for this phone is almost non existent. Even the G4 looks better by compassion and that isn't amazing in terms of ROMS either. How may ROM are currently in development for the G5? 3? 4?

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't been able to find my answer by searching.
I am considering an S5 and am hoping to be able to run custom ROMs and have a real recovery. I would like to get service with Cricket as they are significantly cheaper than ATT or TMOB. Will ROMs work across carriers, or do they have carrier-specific code?
Also, I am hoping to run a vanilla Lollipop ROM, do these use a custom kernel or are they based on stock? I have always had issues with non-stock based kernels and tend to go for 'GPE' type ROMS.
Thanks!

If you want an AOSP ROM for the S5 you must buy one that isn't the G900A. The ATT one has a locked bootloader and can not run a custom kernel. The only option you have is a touchwiz rom on the G900A. If you get the tmobile one you can use whatever you like I believe.

I'm sorry, originally I put G900T in the title, thought I had specified that. I definitely don't want an AT&T phone unless I go with an active. Hoping to find out if the vanilla lollipop kernels for this phone are stock or not and if any/all custom roms are able to be used on Cricket with a simple SIM swap or if there is another procedure for it.

Buy a T-mobile one, then you can run whatever you want. Make sure you get it SIM unlocked so your Cricket SIM will work. As for Carriers, there is no difference what SIM you have in there. It will still work.

I'll ask a mod to move this to the tmobile forum for you. I think they may be more helpful. We are strictly touchwiz here on the G900A whether we like it or not sadly.
Thread moved to T-Mobile Q&A forum as this is what the OP is looking for.
Hi Folks,
Been reading alot of different threads and searching the net. I see some of the sellers on e bay have roms with google play store and multi languages pre installled. From what i gather these seem to be a custom rom and not the global rom. (which has me thinking is the bootloader unlocked on these ones?)
Are there any disadvantages to buying these? will the rom get OTA updates( probably not) ? will they contain more bloatware than the stock original rom?
So should I buy stock rom? Then upgrade to the Global rom for the english and to get rid of any chinese stuff on the phone?
If i want to install custom roms, then i gather the best way is to request via the mi link to have bootloader unlocked and flash to the developer ROM.
i have read a few different ways, users maybe bricking phones. So want to ensure I do things right from the start.
Any advice is most welcome.

1.bootloader is not unlocked
2.all phones,which don't come from mi.com have custom roms installed and you will not receive OTA upadtes in future,but you can install original MIUI Global Rom.It don't care if they contain bloatware,you will flash new rom
3.you don't need to buy sotware,it is free from miui forum
4.i don't recommend you to unlock bootloader and to install custom roms;too many people around us cry after this action.Stay with original rom and you will don't have problems
P.S:i suggest you to buy from trustworthy reseller and not from Ebay or untrusted sources,easy you can receive a fake device.
Thanks for the tips, one final question as a lot of the flashing process seems to be all over the place or conflicting information.
If I had a stock version rom and a custom rom , do both require for the boot loader to be unlocked to flash to the global rom? Basically I just want the global rom, that will get updates and just install google services . It's a phone for the wife. Don't want a lot of bother. So in just trying to force a reliable seller and gather whether I need to request to get the boot loader unlocked or not.
There is a way to flash roms with locked bootloader. Just having vendor rom doesn't necessarily mean the bootloader is unlocked.
Vendor ROMs or unofficial MIUI ROM might have malware/bloatware pre-installed. I myself prefer official ROM unless the customized ROM is from well recognized developer.
If you'd like to have global rom, then you should buy the redmi note 3 with qualcomm cpu, aka redmi note 3 pro.

You can install Global Rom even the bootloader is locked(mine is locked);global rom have google services preinstalled,you don't need to install nothing related to Google apps.The phone is very good and speedy and nice.One more timeON'T UNLOCK BOOTLOADER.Think a litlle and ask your self:Why Xioami had to invest more money in extra security?

Hi, I'm using Lenovo tab 7 essentials.. this tablet lags alot and have really less storage space available cuz of preinstalled apps and performance wise it sucks. I've tried searching for customs roms for this tab on google and couldn't find any? Where can i find roms for this tablet? and btw i have bootloader unlock option available in developer settings.
I might try making one, I am a beginner so it might take me a long time to learn a custom rom. I see a custom rom for its brother, TB-7304i. Idk about this one.

Custom ROMs are a matter of taste.
The only decisive factor is whether a Custom Rom exists for the phone or not.

Hello Everyone
This is my first question so if I make any mistake please tell me and I will correct them.
I love my Oppo Find N, is the best I have ever had and it fit my life style perfectly. However I'm not happy with the software in general.
My questions are
- do you know any custom ROM for this phone ? If not Do you think that if I flash a Z fold 4 ROM on it would it work ?
thank you
The rom of other device will never work

Do you know any custom ROM for the find N?
At this moment there is no custom ROM because no one was able to root the device nor unlock the bootloader. Without root and bootloader unlocked, it's impossible to have a custom ROM.
