Ok I've read this forum for days as well as many other misc. Sites found on google. I've seen tons of different recommendations and ways of rooting my 920r4. I've also noticed that the other carriers seem to have many more threads directed toward their models. Here's what I want for my phone... I just need to know which one is the best choice for my phone. I have seen the issues with deep sleep and random reboots/call reboots ect and honestly just want some feedback from you guys as to what will work best. I know this is the place I'll find it. Thanks a lot guys and gals,
Samsung Galaxy Note 5 sm-n920r4 (US Cellular)
Android 5.1.1
(If any more info is needed just let me know)
Just a bump to keep it near the top. Sorry but I really could use the advice of fellow us cellular note 5 users who have obtained root. Thanks in advance.
Well after more countless hours of searching I seem no closers to finding a way of rooting this device. Any help from the pros such as dr.Ketan or anyone who has a rooted 920r4 would be great. I just need a shove in the general direction.
I wish i could be of more help but i think you'll find you need someone who has a sprint rooted kernel to slightly adapt it to usc. Sprint and usc and extremely close in how their kernels and such work and in the general infrastructure design of their networks. Also see if there's anything on teamuscellular's forums.
I used to have usc and i always had the best luck working with sprint stuff with slight changes for usc....in the note 2 and 3 days....

The kernel is the reason for your random reboots etc and had been heavily addressed in other variants, but prob not usc....see if this kernel works for you...here's the link again http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/ind...-Kernel-Files---Odin-Flash---Root#entry170915

Verizon seems to prevent people at great length from tampering with their phone, as I've learned from my brothers' S4.
AT&T M8 section has 2 Roms already, with a third being ironed out.
And I know many of the devs here have vast knowledge with the Sprint HTC phones with tons of experience.
Does AT&T just make it easier to develop for? Or, do the others just try harder to make it difficult, even though HTC has unlocked the boot loader for all their phones?
I've never understood this.

I think what it comes down to is, what the developers actually have. The International M8, AT&T version have a bigger following I guess. The only one I have been reading that was difficult for Verizon as they superglued the bootloader. Many devs in the Intl forum eventually support Sprint variants. They just iron out their own variants first. I do hear the partitions are the pretty much the same for Intl, AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint. mike1986 believes his ROM should work for the Sprint variant but im not that brave yet to make sure. LOL
I'm in no hurry. There is a honeymoon period with a new phone for me.
I was just curious as to why different carriers tend to make you jump through hoops.
I guess the WiFi tethering is a good example?

His 3.0 did not work on sprint, but I see he has a 3.1 I will give that one a try right now, it looks like he completely reworked it.

Nope 3.1 not working
Any one have any reccommendations on a custom ROM and kernel setup for good battery life? But still has quick performance..I'm not very good at setting up a custom kernel it always seems like my battery dies quickly on custom Roms and kernels any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey all 900H users,
Today I wrote an email to Samsung development team regarding latest sources and version release. Whenever they reply I will let you all know.
The mail is below.
Priority : HIGH
Dear Samsung Dev Team,
Today I am writing as a Galaxy S5 SM-G900H users community. We have bought your flagship phone Galaxy S5 as to enjoy it to full extent. Its an amazing phone with great camera.But we feel lack of support for 900H model (Exynos variant). International variant G900F has been proved to be a good phone with LTE and some other features that our phone lacks.
Now you must be thinking that why we are saying that 900F is better than 900H as both are Galaxy S5 variants. This is only because you made us think like this. You only support Galaxy S5 900F variant (Snapdragon) than our 900H (Exynos variant). Now latest android version 5.0 Lollipop has arrived for 900F variant but not for our 900H.
Secondly why don't you upload latest kernel sources to your website as many latest updates have been arrived for our variant. The current latest build released is (build G900HXXU1ANK1). But on you opensource website (link mentioned below) the last uploaded sources are (for build G900HXXU1ANG3) which is more than 6 months older as of now. After that build 4-5 new versions have been released but no sources have been uploaded from your end. Android is an open source project. When you are using its sources to build your ROM and kernel then you are supposed to share the sources with us. But you are being smart by not sharing your sources with us. Beside Samsung all other manufacturers (Sony, HTC, LG, etc.) upload their latest sources on their websites so that they can be used for further development. I feel like being fool buying Samsung's flagship phone with lack of development and support.
Please furnish below details as soon as possible & give the us approximate date for releasing or this will be our last device from Samsung. Many users have already switched to Nexus, HTC and Sony sue to less development.
1. Latest kernel sources for 900H variant (Link : http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=900h)
2. Android Lollipop v5 for 900H
PS: This mail will be shared on google+ community, XDA forum and other android development communities. Your positive reply is awaited.
Regards,
S S Sidhu

Any reply..
I suggest every one to email them the above letter. Copy and paste. They should be aware that we don't buy phones every day! I just spent $480 on Galaxy S5 and I expect timely development and updates. Just yesterday Samsung released 5.0 lollipop update to Galaxy S4 Google Play edition. If the older device could receive it faster than our newer device aka Samsung's Current Flagship, then We should have it too.
hi
creating whatsapp group is all good, however our main concern is there is no development for G900h.
we all know that our model is supported in Asia and still we have no developers for making custom roms for us.
apart from xterolite and some on or two other roms we have no other options
please developers help in creating some new roms and as of now we have not received any lollipop update ....even Galaxy s4 gpe got the lollipop yesterday.....such a shame even earlier devices are getting.
we are not getting support from samsung or developers for custom roms
if not resolved we should stop buying samsung phones.
P.S. Thread Moderators can we have a separate thread for our device g900 h since we have to search every rom thread whether it support our model or not and increasing spam by posting requests for supporting our devices too.
I'm ready to join. My no is +91 9162202878

Doesn't matter how nice and polite you are in the email, Samsung won't budge. People have done things like these (and even petitions/votes) ever since the S2 but absolutely nothing has changed.
The best way to show displeasure is to simply not buy another exynos device.

Hi folks. I'm looking for a Le 2 which for the price is an awesome device. I'm planning to order it by a Chinese web, and in the web the sepcs says that the phone is an x528 model. In this forum I don't see that model, only x520 - x527. If I bought this model, I'll be able to install the custom ROMs for other models? I can't find the differences on internet so I'm asking for your help. Thanks In advance. Hope anyone can clear my mind.
If Google can't answer then no one can.

Go through eBay or some indian/us/Russian sites to buy this phone or contact to local retailer if they can manage ( obviously they will charge more).
When we can expect Custom Roms for Asus Rog 3?
Its been a month now, Asus send ROG 3 to some developers for testing device with custom roms but sadly no news till date. Despite of Unofficial TWRP & Few Great Kernels, development for this beauty is very slow!
Hopefully soon:fingers-crossed: (good things come to those who wait)
I would love to try a stock-based ROM with a plethora of enhanced features and options.
This is a good but not a popular phone. So I guess it'll take some time before we get a custom ROM. It'll come but if the community isn't big they will not be huge support on those ROMs. I know that Asus offered the phone to some devs as Lineage OS and Dirty Unicorns, but nothing is sure they will develop anything for this phone.
Here the list of developers who got the phone

Omnirom is already in testing. There will be many custom roms in the near future.

I doubt this isn't a popular phone.
Anyone who's into mobile gaming knows this kind of phones.
It's just that these gaming phones are highly not for everyone.
I mean, they probably saw in the mall, but:
~Mostly marketed at the same price as flagships = Expensive
~Too focused on gaming (both looks & specs), this will feel heavy to use for someone who just want a decent smartphone
Basically, these phones have its own community.

Yes, it is a niche market. So not popular as this is only for a limited amount of users interested by this kind of phone. I just look around me and nobody know this phone.
I have no doubt it is not a popular phone like a flagship from Samsung, Huawei or OnePlus. I am used to have non-popular phones as I choice my phone for it's spec and not for the quantity of bloatware offering useless options to me.

It is all I hope, but I just looked at the rog phone 2 forum yesterday and there were not that many, the support wasn't really here.
I am not in hurry to get custom ROM, as I use air triggers daily. But if one day there is a ROM developed especially for this phone with specific options dedicated to the rog phone 3.

Is there any board or group for any information about Omni? I saw the Rom for Rog 2 but there is no information or anything about that.
