Name	Project Infinity	Alliance	Omega	XtreStoLite	NeatROM	Echoe	Phoenix	X-Note	Shohat	Carbon	CyanogenMod	AOKP	AOSP
Description	T-Mobile G900-T specific. Comes with a lot of applications (not a de-bloated ROM), including "T-Mobile proprietary features" (xda-developers.com/... - unclear what exactly those are, besides Wi-Fi calling). Probably VoLTE.	Two versions for the T-Mobile S5; unclear what the differences are, despite thousand-message threads. Seems focused on theming (17+ default themes), plus customizations for hardware button actions.	Claims to be the most popular Samsung-based ROM worldwide - omegadroid.co/...	De-bloated ROM, only ~500MB. Separate version for G900T - xda-developers.com/... - has VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling support - xda-developers.com/... "The aim of this ROM is to keep it as close to the stock firmware as possible. Because this way the ROM is the most stable you can get, and also you don't have any mods that can have influence on the performance and/or battery life of the ROM. Also you can tweak the interface on your own nowadays with Xposed Framework plugins like: Wanam Xposed, GravityBox & Xposed G-TouchWiz."	The only ROM that doesn't trip the Knox flag	Multi-window up to 4 apps, call recording	Flashlight and screenshot in Power menu Multi-window Lock screen with flashlight Extra menu settings: faster GPS fix, OTA updates Includes Xposed framework and Wanam, Gravity modules Aroma installer for bloatware apps	Focused on theming.
