looks like the right one.

they are incredibly slim - i often forget i have a case on the phone. think of it as scratch protection with mild drop protection, pair it with a glass screen protector and be happy.

Im looking for a custom rom that can customize just about every aspect of the UI for color etc, has to be 4.4.2/4.4.3/4.4.4 KK based or Marshmallow based for a GS5 Tmobilie (SM-G900T) any idears?

 

[JrRacinFan]

@eidairaman1 see if AICP has something available. If not, really anything Layers based would fit the bill.

EDIT:
Ixnay on that you asked about KitKat based ROMs, not Lollipop. Only thing I can think of would be CarbonROM or anything that uses CM the engine.

 

[Mussels]

CM and AOSP roms support theming, so that'd be a start - you might have to learn how to create themes yourself to get what you're after.

Do you guys can suggestions me à link that explains thé flashing and unlocking of phone?

What brand/model?

What brand/model?

ZTE Z850

 

[eidairaman1]

Hmm there are these roms , Ressurection Remix, Cyanogen Mod, AOKP, Bobcat, Alliance.

RR and CM are non TW based Roms, Choices... Yeah definitely don't want a L ROM. Trying to find the specific one for my Phone that is pretty current is difficult (XDA could do a better job of tracking ROMs)


Im just lucky to be using a KK build with twrp at the moment. Building themes sounds fun in all, it be nice to have full gui color customization along with individual icon selections, heck even gui button choices. It be nice yo be using Pre KK color schemes (darker themes) wiyh a gps button lol.

 

[JrRacinFan]

I've not built for your device either and try not build blindly without testing first build myself. I'd opt for Resurrection Remix.

 

[eidairaman1]

some had unified builds (klte), I'm taking precaution as I honestly don't want to brick my phone

 

[eidairaman1]

Well I have some Good News, I finally put a custom ROM in called Exodus, there is a Current Nightly as of Nov 11 2016.

I'm thinking the only roms i'd suggest are

AOKP (newer Nightlys, non official Nougat)
Exodus (Newer Nightlys)
Resurrection Remix
CMmod
Bobcat (hopefully will receive a Nougat or MM version)
Alliance ROM

This thread needs more Android!

Finally decide to move on from Oneplus One. It was starting to show its age with some minor issues, but it was a fantastic phone that is good about taking a beating so I'll be keeping it around as a backup if need be.

Yesterday I received my Oneplus 3t and it's gorgeous. Immediately after ordering the soft gold with white face, I regretted it...until I opened the box and loved it. 8 had just enough time last night to mess with unlocking the bootloader, but I had trouble flashing twrp; just wouldn't take but I quit at 1am lol. I found some more suggestions on getting it to work that sound good. I think my One gave me issues like that too so it's all good.

So tonight I'll be trying to flash it again and root, and I need to get a new sim for the phone since it's a nano sim. Gotta backup my crap and transfer but I'm excited. I'll post some pics later this evening

Trying to get any answers on xda on how to start your own rom or even code one from say g900f and use g900t stock modem/baseband is like pulling teeth. I agree with you @manofthem!

I've taken quite a few ganders around xda and there're some brilliant people there. But then again I have no idea on how to code at all. It would be really awesome to learn that and create custom roms for these devices.

(I've been running Tugapower rom on my Oneplus One for a while and it's been really stable and solid)

That'd be awesome if you start and get going in it!

I need a beginners guide because I'd like to take an old custom rom and code it to the g900T basebands and add volte to it even and help reduce its battery useage.

Pet peeve time: rooting and flashing a custom ROM are not the same. /rant

I totally understand that lol. Roiting is easier and rerooting too. I'm beyond that stage and want to encode a old roms gui that was for g900f over to the g900t using the g900ts baseband whether kk or mm or n along with stock kernels or modified kernels.

I'm after a couple of phones. A nexus 5x cause it has 7.1.2 on it, and a HTC one m7 cause i love them.

 

[JrRacinFan]

@tigger I'm on a Nexus 6.

@manofthem you like it so far? Im thinking of possibly getting one.

Well right now I'm frustrated. Got a sim from ATT but they couldn't activate it due to technical issues. Got home and called ATT and talked to the person for a while, but I can't get signal. Not sure what's going on here, but the sim is activated it seems; I tried it in the wife's phone and it worked call wise. So I'll report back after trying ti get it to work.

Edit: well after a few hours of banging my head on my desk and about to throw out my new phone, I think I got it working. Ended up trying to revert from Oxygen 4.x to 3.5.4 and after a lot of time screwing around with this, calls and texts are working. Not sure if I'll update back to Nougat since I was having issues, but it may have been due to the way I did things earlier.

The 3t is a beautiful phone though, feels great in the hand, like a real premium device. Though i love my One, it looks much better. I'l be posting back later on after some time with it along with some pics.

So last night, during my head banging on my desk, I ran into an issue where the phone would continue to ask for an Android password during boot, but it had nothing to do with my password to unlock my phone, I didn't even have one. It happened when I tried to revert back and flash an earlier version of OxygenOS. Googling shows it's happened to many and the only way I got around it, I think, was to flash back to stock recovery and doing 1 or 2 factory resets.

I lost twrp and root, but the phone works again. I'll try again tonight to flash recovery and root, maybe even try Nougat again but I don't know...

ATT sucks as of 2008. I canned their service as of last Year after learning they lock their bootloaders on Phones from being downgraded in roms.

in other news,

batteries made in china suck ass, even Surefire knows this
great news

My SM-G900T (GS5 Tmobile-carrier unlocked), the battery was made in China, well after Updating to MM for the last time the phone started bootlooping, I downgraded to KK and it still happened unless if I kept the phone plugged into a wall.

I bought a new battery- made in vietnam- works like a charm
