For those of you who have been waiting for Android 6.0 Marshmallow with root for your Samsung Galaxy S5, your long wait is over! VRToxin ROM brings you almost a flawless Android 6.0 Marshmallow experience if you have a Galaxy S5 model that is supported. (Currently, you can install this on the T-Mobile SM-G900T, Canadian SM-G900W8, and international SM-G900F/M/I.)
First, 4G LTE/data and voice works flawless out of the box. For data, it didn’t work initially for me but after fiddling with APNs and also driving around, it started working just fine after that. You will also find bluetooth and NFC working flawless.
Second, root will also work fine with Marshmallow but make sure you flash SuperSU zip file right after installing the ROM.
Third, performance and battery life is excellent. You will get super, fast experience along with excellent battery life, nevermind the new DOZE mode that comes by default with Android 6.0.
Fourth, there’s also customization through VRToxinMods in Settings that allows you to fully tweak your phone. Now, not everything is working in the customization mods as some are still being developed but most of it is working to give you a fun Android 6.0 experience.
Only thing not working? The video camera does not work. If you can live with that and also still camera works just fine, you should be able to daily drive this ROM no problem. So, definitely give this guy a go this week(end) and do let me know how your first Android 6.0 Marshmallow experience goes for you!

I currently have a Sprint S5 rooted with MOAR rom. what is best way to switch over to this rom, and is this working for the sprint varient?
Mike, you can flash the ROM as I’m writing this on 6.0. However data does not work. Display crashes settings. And obviously a few appa crash because of it being strictly klte instead of kltespr. Hopefully they will come out with a sprint version as I will be very exites.
I went back to Blisspop because my titanium backup crashed all the time. Couldn’t make it work. And has anyone encountered the issue where the SD card is not compatible?
Got the same problem.
Video Camera not working is a big deal…is it only glitchy with the Google Camera app or all camera apps?
Essentially is there a workaround to having a functional video camera?
Thanks Max
Hi all,
This I nu firsttime go rooting my S5
How van I do that?
Sm-g900f Vodafone Netherlands
Kind regards Jan
Dear Jan,
I have also rooted my Phone the first time and i would recommond you first root it and get blisspop 5.1.1. before you try this. When this works for you and you know how everything works with root and flash a rom you can flash another rom like 6.0. Im also from the Netherlands. First the blisspop doesnt install right then i flashed again the stock rom and then i flashed again the blisspop and then it worked. I Love blisspop. It works pretty fine. Drains battery a little bit more when you play big games but when you dont use your Phone the battery works perfectly and you save more battery then without the flash. Thats my experience. Also i like the camera now better then before.
Will it not break if I install on s5 duos(sm-g900fd)?
how can i activate data and APNs?
Everything worked very well except when I go in titanium backup I only see the overview tab and when i click the checkmark to restore my apps, the app crashes, every single time. Can someone help me please
Does the fingerprint scanner work?
When did you release this ROM for Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H)

Did you install this rom on your g900h?
it is not compatible with it, but i want that they release that version
After installing this marshmallow awesomeness, it runs perfectly.
But my sd card doesn’t work. Can not access it.
When into twrp no problems, nor in my cm12.1 builds.
how come Samsung has figured out all the bugs and is ready to release marshmallow on OTA and custom ROM’s cant seem to keep up. whats so different about Marshmallow?
Assalam o Alaikum

Nice ROM, really smooth like never ever. However, some setting function will FC (e.g. Clock and etc), notice the telco signal on and off (but not so often, no big deal still can make call). Hope second update will fix all these.
There are still quite some apps not supporting android 6, fc right away when open the app.
