Can't find a tutorial or any info for the installation of SimromLP for my Sprint S5 G900P. Maybe this is a noob question, but can I just install the .zip from custom recovery just like I did for MOAR V7? I'm running MOAR V7 (build MOARV7.0 OA6) (kernel: 3.4.0-3859396 [email protected] #1 Fri Jan 23 12:06:25 KST 2015) which installed from software version G900PVPU3BOG1. I'm on Android 5.0 - do I need to upgrade to 5-.-? and how? My S5 has also been domestically sim unlocked with idoneapps - would it affect that? I'm relatively new to Android but I can follow direction well, just can't find any info on this. I'd love to give this ROM a spin.

I think personally if you don't have a clue what you are doing and you need a manual to flash a ROM and you don't understand the risks that come with it, well then you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone to this extent...just my humble opinion!

That was a snide remark. I'm fully aware of how to flash a ROM; my phone is rooted, domestically sim unlocked and "flashed" to MOAR V7.0 and it works just swell. If your aim is to insult me to make yourself feel better, at least have the courtesy to be face to face or read a little more into things. There is no documentation or support for this ROM on the Sprint S5. I'd like to give this ROM a spin, but I'm not going to just boot into custom recovery and install this ROM blindly. And what's with the multiple useless posts by this guy. Like I said, theres no documentation or support. Don't bother responding as I'm all set.

I went ahead and flashed SlimLP. A red outline flickers around screen and flashes every time you hit a button, and the interface is very choppy. I was expecting a trimmed down fast OS but apparently it's still an early BETA and buggy. It does look nice though.

I wouldn't mind some literature on this either. I feel the same. Don't wanna go into things blindly. Seeing how the OP doesn't wanna respond this should all probably be deleted.

Yeah there are a lot of people here that would rather leave a smart-alec comment than give a simple answer. I did end up flashing it on my g900p and it ran pretty rough. Real rough. So I wouldn't bother with it. But I have found that you can flash your g900p with just about any g900F custom ROM and it will work better for a GSM carrier than a g900p ROM will (much better connectivity). Hope this helps.
