I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes custom ROMs. I was an avid flasher when I had my S2 but things seemed to be a bit more straightforward then. I've been waiting for the MM update for what seems like forever and simply can't wait any longer so I rooted my S6 with the intention of just flashing a MM ROM. But I'm struggling to find a ROM that I can say for certain is compatible.
I'm not asking for the best ROM, I just want one that won't screw anything up. Thanks in advance. Device details below.
S6 G920F. Rooted with Unikernel v8-0002. TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Baseband: XXU3COI9
Build #: XXU3QOJL

Hi
I have just Rooted a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N9150, android version 4.4.4, baseband version N9150ZCU1ANL3) with CWR.
since the device's ROM is Chinese I need to install an English/international rooted custom/stock ROM.
I can't find anything fitting for the device on the internet and these forums. Could you please direct me to some roms installable through CWR for SM-N9150?

i'm in the same situation and still looking for custom rom.
I am too!
Anyone have a solution here? Mine came with a ton of adware preinstalled and many backdoors to add more, so even after I delete what I can, more are continually added. It's been frustrating -- I'd like to start fresh.
1. TWRP is up
2. Stock 5.1.1 with baseband G920R4TYU2BOF7/HW version G9020R4.02
3. Kernel name: 3.10.61-V-Kernel+
4. No Mods
5. Rooted
Last time, I did any rooting and flashing was the original Galaxy S Mesmerize for USCC... Been using that trusty phone up until 2 days ago. I finally broke down and upgraded after 5+ years! So I'm a bit rusty on this kind of stuff.
I know when I was flashing with the Mez, I had to make sure that I used carrier-specific ROMs since there were subtleties in hardware and so on. I was wondering which of the Custom ROMs in the pinned thread in the general section of this forum were compatible with a US Cellular Galaxy S6 with the specs I listed. Here is the link to the thread I'm speaking of. Also, any hints, clues, thing to look for etc etc in determining if a ROM is compatible would be awesome.

Once again, thank you guys for all that you do.
Edit: Somewhat off-topic... OTA update keeps wanting to come through. Will OTA update undo root?
I have been searching and searching. I'm just someone can provide me with a download link for the XtreStoLite Rom that will run on 5.0.2.
I found many for 5.1.1 but will that flash okay if I'm running 5.0.2? I'm on Virgin Mobile and it seems like it's going to take forever to get this OTA notification. I hear many good things about this Rom and seems like it would be perfect for me.
Any help appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked, I just couldn't find a specific answer.
Just download a stock 5.1.1 ROM and manually upgrade, no need to wait????
Also in the same boat! Currently running the original 5.0.2 firmware and looking for a bloatware free firmware. Judging by all the posts on the XtreStoLite thread everyone seems to be impressed with its operation. Hopefully someone can shine some light on this.
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Baseband version: I337UCUGOK2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-6185444

I am going to be using an old S4 from At&t until I save up for something better.
It has been recovered to its original state and It will not let me do a software update past 5.0.1 because At&t has never pushed it out.
The phone is also now being used with Cricket wireless.
I would like to be able to just use the most recent stock update from Samsung and get rid of any trace of AT&T from this phone if I can but I don't know for a fact if Samsung ever updated the S4.
If that's not an option, then where do I start learning about custom ROMs, and how to know what's supported etc.?
I don't care about voiding ANYTHING in this endeavor.
I'm an old G33K but rooting, and custom ROMs are new to me. I have spent countless hours on YouTube but it's filled with so much useless info as I'm sure you all know.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this & any reply.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I don't think samsung updated the s4 past 5.0, you could just root your phone to remove any at&t apps. There is a very simple guide here

Hi Guys,
I'm very new to the world of playing with phone Roms and rooting so please bear with me.
I have a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) that I am playing with at the moment. I wonder if it is possible to flash it with a ROM that is already rooted so I don't have to go through the effort and risk of trying to root it after flashing.
If so, where can I go looking for such a ROM. Also where can I get the stock ROM for this phone ?
Kind regards and thanks.
Stock can be found in sammobile.
As for a pre-rooted ROM without going through the effort... if you have a custom recovery, sure. Most of the ones available have it.
