Hi guys, I have a question... or rather, I'm in need of a comprehensive tutorial. It's 2018 and I still own a Galaxy S5. It's the SM-G900H model running Android 6.0.1. I want to install a custom ROM on my GS5. To be specific, I want to install an Android Oreo (8.0) custom ROM. Could you please recommend the most stable and overall best custom ROM for the GS5 in 2018? Please also give me a tutorial on how to install it. By "most stable and overall best" I mean the latest ROM with no bugs at all in which all my phone's features work seamlessly.
BTW, I have never rooted or installed a custom ROM on an android device before... I'm just kinda bored with my GS5 and wanna spice things up a bit before buying a new phone. Thanks for the read and I'll be eagerly awaiting a helpful response. Thank you!

I rooted my S6 a few month ago. Since then I'm only using Xposed, but no Custom Rom or Kernel. Now I want to try a Custom Rom, because Touchwiz is a big problem for many Xposed Modules. I also want the latest security patches.
Could you recommend me a custom Rom, that delivers the security patches and is AOSP? Do I need a custom kernel?
It's a G920F with 6.0.1 running. I used CF-Auto Root to root my device. I'm sorry, if my english is bad - I'm from Germany
We don't really have any AOSP ROMs or kernels for our mighty S6s since Samsung hasn't realeased Exynos source code. The only one you can try out is CM13 but it's just impossible to use as a daily driver. All in all, you have no other choice than going for a stock-based ROM and saying thanks to Samsung.
Ok, thank you anyway!

I just want to know which section of ROMS/KERNELS can I use on my phone.
Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development
-- OR --
Samsung Galaxy J700T & J700T1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries & other development
=====================================
My phone is running fine, but I would like to try one of Zonik's awesome roms.
[ROM][7.0][J7 2015 Exynos] Revolution OS v5.0.1
[ROM][7.0][J7 2015] Xperience OS v2.5
Or even a Lineage ROM maybe ??
Basically I am wanting to sstep up to 7.0 [NN] and trying to figure out which route I can take

Currently my phone is ROOTED and has TWRP 3.1.x.x and is running the WalkerBlue V2 ROM

Hello everyone my name is Ali and I am new to XDA. Hope this forum will help me to increase my Android knowledge.
My question is simple. Should I wait Android 8 to root my S7 or should I root my S7 now? Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am also new. In my opinion, rooting now or rooting later will depend on what you want to achieve. I rooted very recently coz I want to gain more control to my phone and I want to try the new roms available here. If you root later, then there is a possibility that the new rom (assuming that you would like to install a custom rom) will have some bugs. So it will take a couple of updates to stabilize it.
It's really your preference but Android P is much different than 7.0/7.1. It has support for multi-screen devices as well as foldable displays. Also it will have hidden control of signal strength show controlled by the carrier. Developers will eventually get in there but if you want to enjoy root I say root now. There's loads of stable stuff for 7.0, even Xposed is operational on 7.0 and 7.1.
I'm using stock S7 rom. (exynos) But i would like to root and put Lineage OS. Because i live pure android. Is Lineage OS 14.1 stable for daily use?

No, it has bugs. Only stock roms are good are good.
Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.
