We continue with the first Roms Android 5.0 Lollipop that are emerging, in Alpha state but that many of them, like this one or the one I presented to you yesterday of the LG G2 that I have flashed myself, they work perfectly for daily use of the terminal. With some little bugsYes, but nothing that can be considered serious.
This is the case of this First Android 5.0 Lollipop Rom for Samsung Galaxy S5 international model, a Rom in which the main bugs or serious errors will be found at the moment CAMERA NON-FUNCTIONALITY, neither the front nor the rear, as well as the NFC CONNECTIVITY NON-FUNCTIONALITY. For the rest, this Rom rolls perfectly on the Samsung Galaxy S5. So if you don't mind losing those two features too much, or you just want to try the Lollipop experience on your S5, I advise you to run and make a nandroid backup of your entire current system and proceed to follow this tutorial where I am going to explain step by step how update your Samsung Galaxy S5 to Android Lollipop through this Cyanogenmod 12 Alpha Rom.
