I am after a plain ROM for the 19000 as I think the one I have is carrier locked (can not get internet to work on it) I am tempory using Vodafone but will soon swap to TPG (optus) can someone point out what ones are just the stock roms for this device?
Thanks.
DarkyROM is a fantastic ROM. It's super fast and great out of the box. You can also customize the look and feel of the ROM. But the main point is, it's really FAST.

Is it stable?
DarkyROMs usually are very stable, well customizable over OTA and good supported by the devs. The thing with DarkyROM is that it is allways based on stock Samsung roms, so don't expect a lot new releases these days.
For stability i use stoc JVZ+semaphore 2.5.0
Hi.
I gave my G906S to my wife last year. I made my own ROM which was based off the stock 4.4.2.
I would like to update her phone but being my wife she needs something very stable and has good battery life.
Please recommend me a ROM.
Stock lolipop

No longer being developed but based on latest stock lollipop; it's stable and the battery life is the best I've experienced on LP. If you're looking for something near stock, optimized, with some of the bloat removed, I recommend this rom.

I installed Cm12.1 and boeffla kernel for my wife's G900f.
She likes the pink/black themes available and batterylife and performance is good.
No bugs.

Thanks folks, I ended up installing NovaRom_V1.5.5, and now I have to listen to her complain everyday about something ... when I tested it, it all seemed good.
I'll look in to Cm12.1
NaraeWiz V7.3 seems to be Korean.

It is Korean although I have it installed in English, and it's the closest to stock available. Of course, it has the stock Korean-English keyboard which I need - forgot about that - although it can be replaced with alternatives.
If your wife prefers stable, stock TW, you could try @xXx's Barebone's Cleaner: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479
It's one of the fastest ways to debloat. I've used it in the past on my g906s. Stock LP 5.0.1 kinda sucks though but basically bug free except for the color fade issue.

I have decided to compile a list of ROMs that I have successfully booted, while maintaining root. This is, more or less, a continuation of this thread, just wanted to create a more thorough and organized collection. The Flashfire app adding aroma support has really opened up some possibilities for us, and with the extended delay of Marshmallow, I felt this could be helpful to some of you wanting to try something new. Also, I'd like to thank @Rakuu for the idea, I want to test more roms and expand on our list.
WARNINGS: The roms listed are not officially supported, thus results may vary. This is the standard liability warning, I am not responsible for any damage you do to your device using the roms and/or methods given. In the event a rom doesn't boot, you can try flashing the following kernels for your device using ODIN in the AP slot. It should also be mentioned that some of these roms contain aroma installers and require Flashfire, as safestrap does not support aroma.

Hi there,
I tried this rom, but hangouts crashes. Tried a full wipe, cleared dalvik and cache, cleared data and cache on hangouts, uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts, still crashes. Does it work for you?
Well, I dumped the Infiniti ROM. I need hangouts. Tried everything including flashing 3 different Gapps packages for 5.0 through flashfire. I've tried probably 15 different Roms over the years and I've stumbled on the best one of all:
Freedom from is by far the best for the att s5. It has an AOSP feel to it. You dont even notice TouchWiz. It has the Google dialer and camera(won't do 4k, but I use open camera and force 4k. The dialer alone makes it so much better. I encourage everyone on att s5 to use freedom ROM. I flashed it though flashfire.
One note. There is no boot up screen, just stays on the initial Samsung boot loader screen. First boot took like 10 minutes too. Also, you will need to change the APN (it's set for Verizon) to your carrier. I'm on an unlocked att s5 using T-Mobile. Was easy to change the APN.
This ROM rocks!

Well, just noticed the Freedom rom doesn't have any tethering options. If anyone knows how to enable this, please let me know. I'm off to put another rom on this (again). Thank you ATT for locking the bootloader, jackasses.
Thank you very much. But i'm lost in how to install these roms, especially the Phoenix. Need help. (G900A).

Can you tell me witch onde is better? Alliance, TMS5 or Phoenix?
Is aliance 9.0 working through flash fire ? Do I need to flash a kernel after I flash rom ? A few directions might help .... v8.0 worked great. I'd like to try v9 but seems Noone wants to actually post any help for all the people asking ....just telling people to flash in ff and nothing else is not very helpful .... do I wipe ?do I need a separate kernel ? Is there Change log for this version ? Anything I need to no about it ?

I just flashed the Phoenix v11 and i got the AT&T no go screen. As @IJoxer wrote, i flashed the G900A OC4 Kernel via Odin in AP slot and download mode in the phone (power+vol up+home) and the rom booted nicely. I think that they already tested these roms of the post and they work somehow.
Just want to thank again for all effort.
PS: is a team developer rom better than single person rom in general? Any advice of Phenix vs TMS5 vs Alliance?

As far as I have seen tms 5 was better than any thing we had until the phoenix ROM came around its a bit snappier than tms 5 and a bit more stable also . tms 5 seemed laggy after a while . also I've noticed if you don't leave at least 1gb of phone memory for any ROM to run on it will get buggy . for a while I thought it was the ROMs . but found out it was lack of memory . but I prefer Phoenix ROM myself.

Thank you for you help!
I used for a considerable time the TMS5 3.0 and the Alliance v8 roms and I had the same impression about the laggy stuff. Also, I came in the same conclusion as you about the time of use, lack of memory and get buggy. I agree in all of that.
I tried the Phoenix yesterday and I liked it very much, but I got confused about the aroma choices. Could help me with the must have choices? About the kernel OC4, is this the stock kernel for android 5.0? I noticed thar TMS5 3.0 and Alliance v8 use the OC7. What's the difference and i will lost much in using the OC4?
Is there any other roms that you recommend?

OC7 is basically the OC4 Kernel for the G900F, which is the international version of the S5 that the ROM was developed for.
When you see a ROM that needs OC4 or OC7, its usually safe to use OC4, OF2, or OF3 because they all run the exact same Kernel.

Hey there, sorry I've been a ghost here lately. I'm also anxious to see if @AptLogic gets MM rooted rom running. As for a recommendation on the roms listed, I would definitely recommend Xtrestrolite 2.2, and it is my personal favorite. It comes with literally no apps though, so you'll need to download Google Play Services/Playstore manually and throw them on the phone via PC. I also recommend a file manager since you need to get around in order to install them.
Good luck!

Well at this point it seems that we need to be able to modify the boot image for the rooting... Which doesn't really bode well for us because locked bootloaders don't like it when you do that. Still working at it though, just trying to force a systemless root onto the system. Should have test build 3J out by this Saturday or sooner..
IN THE MEANTIME IF YOU WANT A S6 MM PORT I CAN GET THAT RUNNING IN A SNAP!

Personally, I'd prefer the rooted MM rom, I've had it with stock, and I'm sure an s6 port would be a headache without root. However, you're the one contributing, so I suppose it's up to you, either way it's appreciated. I'm still looking at my options to downgrade, if any, I'm willing to test, but looking for possible recovery options just in case.
I need me some root!

Hey guys !
I've recently rescued my i8190 replacing the motherboard with a i8190n, and yesterday I succesfully rooted it following this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852)
I've started searching for a suitable ROM which increase or mantain battery life and also based on newer android versions (5 or 6)
I currently considered LineageOs, Resurrection Remix and OmniROM, but I don't know which version is the most reliable and power-consumption friendly. Current android versions (7.) seems to struggle with s3 mini hardware (which is understandable) so that's why I'm looking for older versions.
Twrp will need to be installed and so far I've found this version (http://novafusion.pl/2014/09/11/release-twrp-v2-8-0-0-s3-mini/#comments) which seems to be the most reliable.
Which Rom and Twrp would you recommend me to suit my needs ?
I appreciate your help !
PD: NFC is not being used due to 3 pin battery from original i8190
Omni lollipop for stability - daily driver. I use a older version 20160325 for better battery.
Virginity V14 if you're looking for a solid stock experience.

Please report back as I also have a i8190 to resurrect so would value your opinion?
Mine will be used as an everyday phone for my 12year old daughter so stability and battery performance is top of my priority list. Latest OS/features less so.

So far I've been trying OmniROM 5.1.1 v. 20160325 and I'm pretty impressed with battery consumption. Maybe you will notice some battery drops after flashing the ROM but after some calibrations it will last longer. Keep in mind that some google services may increase consumption if you decide to install gapps, so I also recommend trying the microG (not so easy to set up but satisfying once you're using it). Also look for other "improved" aps (facebook lc, etc) in xda forums in case your daugther needs it.
Also remember to root after flash ROM in case you need root privileges for any app.
