First of all I wanna say thank you for taking your time out to read this. So like I have mentioned I need help deciding on a custom rom, so here are the prerequisites that the custom ROM should have. 1. I want the finger print feature to work 2. I bought the s5 due to the really cool camera which comes with a selective focus and a panorama picture mode so I'd like the camera to retain these features 3. The ultrapower saving mode 4. Since I flashed my phone which led my knox counter to trip even after getting back to stock android I can't update my phone through OTA so it would be lovely to have a custom rom which would provide me the feature of upgrading or updating the firmware through an independent OTA feature. And Lastly 5. I want the battery to last longer and also the private mode and lastly it should be slick. I don't mind not retaining the samsung touch wiz look. PS it would be really lovely to have a stable ROM. And also it doesn't matter if it's lollipop or kit kat, but it would be great to have a nice lollipop rom which would have all the above mentioned prerequisiteS. Thank you. Need all the help I can get. Really desperate.
Hi
Welcome to XDA Assist.
Check this thread for a list of all ROMs .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719906
If the list is incomplete you can check the Development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development
And the Original development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/verizon-galaxy-s-5-android-development.
Stability & battery life differ device to device and configuration and it has to be tested individually.
You can check the individual ROM threads for the features you want.
For better reply from the Peer S5 community ,you will have to sign up for forums and post in Q/A section.

Rooting can be risky, so please make sure you reed the instructions on the first link carefully and follow them to the letter.
Head to the SGS 2 forum and read around a lot about rooting. It's the only way to be sure you're doing it properly.
You may either need to just flash a rooted kernel, which will leave your phones ROM (the OS of the phone) as it is but now gives your phone root capabilities.
Or perhaps flash a rom such as Darky's ROM which will root your phone and install a brand new rom (Darky's ROM) all in one go, complete with tweaks and other great features. I'd recommend going through this way as Darky and his crew make flashing a new rom and rooting a painful one step process and once done,you can either stick with his rom, or upgrade to a different rom found on XDA that has more tweaks and improvements. But Darky's is a great one to start on, it's fast stable, has great battery life and while there are other roms out there that improve the SGS2 more, you will not be dissapointed if you stick with Darky's .
It depends what you're after which you do. rooting your current stock rom is great because your phone stays exactly as it is but now has root capabilities so you can look around and pick odd tweaks here and there and install them, and install other apps and such that benefit your phone but need root, but custom roms are usually more tweaked than the stock roms, and can have other tweaks built in already, which can improve battery life, speed, stability, 3g/wifi speeds, and provide useful tweaks to the general experience.
I'd definitely recommend going for a custom ROM.
Read around the SGS2 forum and find one that fits your needs
Since Im a complete newbie I wanted to ask a few questions before doing anything stupid.
1. I noticed people are already posting new ROMs and kernels. Do I need them? I mean, I like the stock and everything but there are a few things I can't do. Why do YOU root and change ROMs?
2. I found a lot of kernels, and I understood that it can improve my performance and battery life. I would very much like to improve my battery life. The thing is, I don't know how. I do know that people are UVing and OCing their CPU, etc but what can a noob do who is not only a noob but also just bought a phone that the rooting thing is new to it. So no everything is fully developed, optimized and ready to go in a few clicks. Do I still need to wait a couple more weeks to change my kernel? I always read kernel threads and their changelogs but it is like jibarish to me. I can't even decide which one to pick.
3. I would really like to change my icons in the quick settings panel. Am I able to do that? How?
4. I tried setting Hebrew as my default language but that just moves the whole interface left. Because in Hebrew we write right to left. It wasn't like this when I had my GS3. I used a few CM Roms on my s3 and they were fine until the update to 4.3. Then it did the same thing on the S3 but I didn't know it would be like this on the N5. Is it something that can be fixed? Can I email Google or call them about this?
5. Is there anyone who is willing to recommend personally some ROMs, mods, apps or any modifications at all?
Thank you in advance!

1 & 2 - I recommend reading the FAQ first, stickied at the top of this Q&A Section. This should give you a good starting knowledge
3 - would need an AOSP based ROM with this feature (CM / AOKP perhaps?)
4 - sorry, can't help
5 - No. This is against what XDA stands for. Read "No best rom threads" sticky in this forum.
1. All your answers can be found here for why you should root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510966 or http://lifehacker.com/top-10-reasons-to-root-your-android-phone-1079161983
2. Franco Kernel is very friendly to use and once rooted everything can be done from his paid google play app. check it out
3. Once rooted and with customer rom installed like cyanogenmod or paranoid android the themes you download from the google play store will sometimes change the settings icons too
4. i believe cyanogen mod roms have a good hebrew compatibility
5. Just start off very simply. use the cyanogenmod installer from the playstore and wait for the nexus 5 to become compatible. wait for the device to get into more peoples hands and youll see an influx of great roms and mods
good luck and welcome to the nexus community.

Thank you for your comments.
Kinda hard to decide wether to flash a different ROM or not. Hell, I haven't even rooted my device because I got it 7 hours ago
I'll be rooting it for sure, but I guess I'll wait a bit till CM or PA will come out. What did you guys install?

My choice was to stay with Stock ROM. I am new to Nexus devices so I wanted to see the subtleties between stock and AOSP.
That said, De-odexed roms are easier to modifiy so I flashed one of those

How are they easier to modify? I mean, how does it come to use? Can you give me an example?
Also, I see you wrote your ROM, kernel and UVing settings in your signature. How is your battery life?

Go to settings > About > tap build version 10 times to enable developer options.
Go in to developer options and you can change the screen alignment.
I second the FAQ at the top of this forum. Incredibly helpful and informative for anyone new to rooting. That should have everything you need, but I guess if I were to add anything to what the above guys (or girls) said, it would be to root FIRST before playing around with your N5 too much. Not sure if it's really obvious or not yet, but the rooting process will result in wiping your device, so it's generally recommended to get that out of the way.
That being said, once you're rooted, I can't recommend Titanium Backup enough for making sure all your stuff is available after any future ROM changes.
Lastly, welcome to the Nexus family =) Glad to have ya

thank! yea I watched a couple of videos and tutorials about rooting. I'll use Chainfire's tool that unlocks the BL + roots the device.
I'll stick to stock in the meanwhile, I'll just install Franco Kernel.

Its just easier. Every system app has an .odex file too that requires extra modification by a themer / developer. Deodexed systems don't need that

Hey guys converter from iPhone over here. Last time I rooted it was fairly straightforward and was able to get going quickly. This newer stuff is a little new to me.
I rooted my sprint s5 using towel root. Now what? I see roms like omega but none really say anything about the sprint model.
What should i do next to install a boottloader then a rom?
Thanks

Assuming you are a new XDA user. Welcome to the forum and be sure to read over the forum rules. They might save you some headache in the future. For example, this post should of been in the Q&A section but no biggie. A mod will move it if need be.
Anyways, about your question, this is the Sprint specific forum so all the roms here should be compatible with the Sprint S5 (900P). Some of the roms will be based off of Touchwiz (these will keep almost 100% of stock functionality while adding some extras) and AOSP roms (custom based on CM, MIUI, etc.) The first post of each rom thread will give you a good idea of what the rom has included, instructions to flash, what works and doesn't, and so on.
If you just rooted get a custom recovery on there and do a backup of the system and EFS first thing. As for bootloader, that is preference and may depend on what rom you flash but I would think you will be fine with what version you have now.
This is also a good thread to take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52456762&postcount=1
Hi brothers. As you know, Samsung has announced it will not update for Galaxy K zoom. I started looking for a new custom ROM for my phone. And I found a custom ROM. Obviously I have not fully tested this custom ROM. But as I see Dolby feature is not working. suggest pro deleted in the camera options. Other features fine, rom is stable, there are plenty of good options. I've used TWRP ROM for installation. Full System format, then take before I took full backup. I'll give the bottom a link to the Custom ROM. My English so bad, I'm sorry I used google translation. I want to help the brothers. We all have a good day. Greetings from İstanbul/Turkey :angel:
Mod Edit: link removed
Note: this rom 4.4.2 not lollipop, but works fine stable and fast

I'm trying to find something better. I hope I find a smooth Rom and I would like to share with you. If I had known a little more English, I can help you more, so I apologize.
Your English is just fine serif.
I keep this device for special occasions ...would be great if you do manage more development on the k zoom, I wouldn't know where to start myself TBH
Thank you again
Thank you very much for your interest and good wishes. If other friends help us, we can accomplish a lot more. Developer brothers please help us in this regard

Well I do hope someone from the Dev world comes along and tweaks this device but since katkernel, there's been nothing till your port..
Let's hope
Nearly 12000mb's spare ram with your rom btw , amazing
I wish I could be more suitable my brother. Unfortunately I do not have enough time to do just that. Is there someone you knew to do that, or the other friends we want to help through this post
Well, I'm in the process of stripping this right back...will take some time but,gonna try ; )
Thank you for helping my brother with me. I'm going to do my best in this regard. ROM is so good but little annoying issues
A thread for this rom already exists, created by its owner...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-note-4-mini-s6-10-0-kitkat-4-4-2-t3172166
Not sure why another thread has been created that even uses the same download link, no credit given or permission asked, and not even a link to the original thread.
This isn't how things are done on XDA.

Finger print sensor not working after flashing stock firmware
Im using infocus vision 3 mobile... I have rooted the mobile and when i did factory reset the phone got stuck at twrp loop and did not go any further.. i tried restoring the backup but nothing worked so i download the stock firmware and flashed the mobile now everything works fine except the fingerprint sensor.. when i got to settings to register finger print it is not registering.. people are telling me the only fix is changing motherboard... But I don't buy it.. i think its a software issue... can somebody please tell me a fix other than changing motherboard.. please guys
There is no point in asking a developer here to build a ROM for your device unless you are willing to buy another device like yours to donate to a developer for the purpose of creating your ROM. If you aren't willing to donate a device, do not ask for a ROM.
Also, ROMs can't be built unless the stock source code is available for your device, if that isn't available then you are wasting your time asking for a ROM, a ROM can't be built without the stock source code.
So, that leaves two very important questions to ask.
1) is the stock source code available for my device?
2) am I willing to pay for another device to donate to a developer to build a ROM?
If the answer to either of those questions is "No", you won't be getting a ROM.
If the answer to both of those questions is "Yes" then it is possible that a ROM can be built, but you'll probably get your ROM quicker by learning to build it for yourself because it is asking a lot for a developer to build a ROM for you for free or to take time from their life to work on a ROM for you just because you want one. Typically, developers only develop for the device they are currently using and then decide to share it with others, they do not build ROMs for devices they do not have.
