Pls is it advice able to flash a custom rom(Cm 12) to my lollipop GS5?.....I know the procedures very well...

My s5 lags alot and all these system apps consume my ram so much that games like mc5 lags on it...

Cm12 doesn't have those useless apps... But it doesn't have those cool features like Finger print scanner....


It wouldn't occupy my ram like thr stock android but i just like this touchwix skin...


I need your suggestions... Should i flash the custom rom... And if ur using an s5 with a custom rom, what's ur experience
...

Thanks

Hello i have an s5 as-well and will advice you to root it and freeze or uninstall all bloatware on it using an app like titanium backup...
what model is your s5 and which rom?

Tolzeal:









Well, Im no s5 user , But seriously flashing a custom is eeally nice . I couldn't remember the last time i used my stock rom , Always moving from a custom to other because of remover of bloatwares makes my exp with customs wonderful.



S5 was once a flagship product no long ago.. i want to be believe you are not really optimizing ur battery reaaly well , that's whybu facing much troubles with battery.



Try See XDA forum, they've lots to offer.

I'm using the stock rom and its the sm-g900h...

Just that the blaotware are many and if you freeze the wrong one, your phone may develop faults

gotemnutz:


Ok what android version are you on currently is it kitkat or lollipop ? 4.4.2 or or 4.4.4 ?

and i can give you a list of systems apps to freeze so no need to have the worry of bricking your phone.

The problem with the smg900h is that its a niche device so developers didn't garner enough interest in it so no much of custom roms for it ..best is to completely debloat it or download a debloated rom for it.

I also use an S5. Just upgraded to Lollipop earlier this morning. I've noticed my battery drains more than twice as fast as before and also takes more than twice the time it used to to charge. Are you experiencing same issue? Is this custom ROM (CM 12) you want to flash not having similar issue or any major bug? Please if yes, share the download link or that of kitkat if you have any, Wouldn't mind downgrading. Thanks.

Which version is its? G900h of g900f?

francis247:
G900h

@braintex, there's no official cm 12 ROM for the s5, I also have one (S5) but I'm still on stock 5.0 and its running smoothly. the trick is to reset back to factory when u flash to 5.0 from 4.4. some of the old system files from 4.4 are not compatible with 5.0 so it causes lag. @francis247 root ur phone and install titanium backup to back up all ur apps then flash android 5.0 with Odin and in the options in Odin tick factory reset and when ur phone boots up install the backed up apps but make sure not to install backed up system apps. and you'll not notice any lag
