AllianceROM v5.3 for Galaxy S5 is 4 themed, Private Mode 20.09, Excellent stock based, fully deodexed ROM with massive configurable options and settings to customize the system to everyone's needs. This is Featured packed ROM without the need to load 3rd party apps. Goldie and txr33 have done an amazing job coding a TON of options in to v1.1 and even more coming in the next release. As a dev myself I can appreciate the time and efforts put into this ROM. The coding is clean and very well done, and this shows up in how well this ROM runs. Hands down the best ROM for the S5 and have to put it in my personal top 3 TW ROMS for various devices. You can update Galaxy S5 (900F, 900I, 900T, 900W8, 900M) to AllianceROM v5.3 using the tutorial below. Your Galaxy S5 should be rooted and have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod recovery / TWRP recovery) installed. This is not an official release by Samsung, but just a custom ROM which would require a custom recovery in order to flash the ROM zip file on your phone.

Please follow the important points that you need to take care of, as we don’t want anyone losing their personal data or apps:Backup your all important data and apps because during any installation of a new custom ROM or Official Firmware , your device will be wiped and cleaned with new operating system.

Samsung user can also backup data by using Official Sumsang Kies. If you backup data manually, you will get more options for what to choose from. You can also move your data to other Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung Galaxy S5 backup data to Google Nexus 10. If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.) installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up.
Few more important things that you must remember before installing any custom ROMs or Official Firmwares:
- You might face some problems in connecting your Android device to the computer. How to fix? You need to enable USB debugging mode. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging — for Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and KitKat.
- Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. This might help you: How to Check Battery Percentage. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?
- Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on iDroid Horizon are for factory unlocked Android devices. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your device is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the device model or carrier name.
