It's been quite some time since I have installed custom roms on my phone. Just recently picked up an a32 5G and have been using it for a bit now, and really want an asop rom. I have installed CM, and lineage on several device's over the years.
Are there any stable Roms out there for this device, and if so what would you recommend.
bootloader unlocked?

Hey all,
After looking over some of the ROM's available and other information regarding the S3, I'm a little confused on the rooting process. I've rooted my motorola droids and xoom, but this one seems different, no doubt due to 4.1.2, which my S3 is running. I understand that there are 2 sets of ROMs in here, with one set being specifically for Verizon S3 Android Development. Does it matter which I use? I'm liking hyperspeed rom, from what I see it looks good, but most of the root guides/walkthroughs I've seen are from last year. So my question is, what do I need for my unrooted Verizon S3 running stock 4.1.2 to root and install Hyperspeed or other JB Roms. One guide was very detailed but links to Odin and other files didn't work or was an old ICS guide. Need some pointers, been a while since I've done this.
Thanks in advance...
I recall using an app called "EZ Unlock" to root the phone, it was super easy. Once rooted and unlocked I think the next step was installing ClockworkMod or similar recovery. Then do a full nandroid backup. You should probably read the thread on backing up your IMEI as well, I don't know if its still an issue but you should do it just in case.
Now you can start thinking about the two sets of available ROMS.. Basically you have numerous flavors of TouchWiz and AOSP roms. The TouchWiz roms behave more like the stock os on the device and still have the Samsung camera, etc while the AOSP roms are more "Nexus" like. Personally I prefer the AOSP side of things and have settled on CM10.1.

EZ Unlock is for unlocking the boot loader not for rooting your phone. The IMEI issue normally happens when flashing AOSP ROMs but it has happened when flashing TouchWiz ROMs.
Hi All. New to the S3. I was looking for a nice Android phone and a co-worker had one for $40. I jumped in head first considering the price. Then I found out it had 4.4.2 and I was pretty much stuck to TW based ROMs (prefer stock android). I'm OK with that because I'll use a 3rd party launched. I just want all the Verizon bloatware gone. I've read some and it seems most of the custom ROMs are OK but each has their own set of standard features that don't work as they would with a stock ROM or some apps might had issues when running a certain custom ROM. So the question is if your requirement is to reduce/remove the carrier bloatware what's a good ROM?

There are currently only 3 roms that are available for the bootloader locked down S3
And as always, there doesn't need to be threads about what rom is better than the other. Best bet is to always do your own research

Couldn't even be bothered to read the first few posts of the Safestrap thread?
You can run AOSP roms like CM and Omni, but nothing based on Lollipop

If they are on a locked bootloader no custom roms can be installed at all

For the pass few days I've been looking for a compatible Kernel to OC my S5 (Sprint SM-G900P). I've found some kernels but I'm unsure if they're compatible with Marshmallow 6.0.1 which I updated OTA. I'm currently rooted and have TWRP Recovery installed. Also if it helos, the last update I instakked/ am currently on is G900PVPS3CQB3.

first off, i dont recommend ever instakking anything, its just uncouth secondly, are you running stock touchwiz? if so, i havent seen any custom kernels for anything TW 6.0.1 and up.
Yea im runnubg stock touchwiz Marshmallow 6.0.1. I was thinking ill be able to flash any kernel for the G900P but last android i did that to ended up bricked so i second thought that idea. Also other varients of the S5 already have OC kernels so how come this one doesn't ? ?

This variant of the S5 does have OC kernels, just not for touchwiz on 6.0.1 because development pretty much stopped for TW based ROMs after MOAR for the most part. Pretty forgotten phone now as the world has moved on with sprints unlocking policy and ineptitude. If you want to go AOSP, youre not short for choice tho. AOSP seems to be the preferred flavor for the G900P (probably easier to code), but AOSP fallsh short in a few key areas that makes me want to see more current TW ROMs available for it, but if i wasnt using this phone still, id not be in this area of XDA either. The problem that youre running in to is that TW based ROMs need TW based kernels.
i did find this kernel for 6.0.1 TW ROMs, if that helps

Hey There,
Got my self a certified Pre owned note 5 from T-mobile which has been pretty fun to play with. Now I've gotten the Rom flashing bug, however my note came completely updated to the latest "N920TUVU4EQG3" firmware. Can I still just flash the latest TWRP through ODIN and then wipe and flash whatever Rom I want from the Tmobile note 5 section? Or will this cause issues?
Am I correct in seeing that there are no custom roms or custom kernels based on the latest tmobile release "N920TUVU4EQG3" firmware? I guess what I'd really like is just to run stock custom firmware with an awesome kernel and I think id be just fine.
Also do the Kernels/Roms over in the international forums cause issues for the T-Mobile variant?
Also any suggestions for someone who hasnt touched a samsung device in a few years from a flashing/odin perspective are welcomed :]
Hi, I have the same situation, somebody who know something about, so many thanks.
