Probably the biggest reason to root and install custom ROM is the fact that you can update your phone with updated software from a newer phone. In this case, you can in fact turn your Galaxy S5 into Galaxy S6 by using a custom ROM like Sixperience ROM.
The Sixperience ROM has been ported straight from a real Galaxy S6, giving you all the new software features including Galaxy S6 theme engine, resizable floating windows, S6 apps, and much more. Of course, you get a nice AROMA graphical installer also, allowing you to choose from three different kernels (you can overclock using Boeffla or KToonsez kernel) and even choose from two cameras (Note 4 or S5).
This ROM can be installed on most S6 models including SM-G900F/G900I/G900M, Canadian SM-G900W8, T-Mobile SM-G900T, Korean SM-G900S/K/T, and few more. (AT&T SM-G900A should be supported soon.)
There are couple things not working like fingerprint sensor (as S6 fingerprint software is not compatible with S5 fingerprint sensor) and world clock widget but other than that, the ROM itself runs rather good with great battery life. If you are looking to turn your Galaxy S5 into an S6, definitely try out this ROM this week(end) and do let me know what you think!

Would be cool if I can install it. Gets stuck in boot up
Have you updated your bootloader to Lollipop? That could be why.
True. I’ll try it later. Thx
It worked, tbis rom is better than i expected too. Thanks much
Tell me how you update your bootloader to Lollipop??
i have the same problem, Flash the Rom and i gets stuck in boot up!!
i really want to try this rom!!
Sorry for my English..
If you have a backup of the bootloader, you can restore it after installing the ROM. After that, you can choose to wipe/factory reset before rebooting the system or you can go ahead and reboot without factory reset. I’m using TWRP btw.
I installed the rom but there is no mention about play store is not working and i cant download anything from browser. Or google chrome or any other browser. Please what i have to do? I have g900f.

Will this allow access to external sdards? If so, is there a way to swap internal with external so that apps can automatically be installed on the external? Thanks.
What about the biggest one of all, VERIZON? I don’t see the SM-G900V on the list, in coming attractions, nada! What’s the story on this Rom for the V?

Hi Max wonderful job on the ROM. However when u search in Google play store it cuts off. Also to get the same experience as a s6 it needs to be android 6.0 not 5.0.2 as your basically using lollipops os
This is verison 3. There was version 4 available but no download link in xda thread. Can you please post it here if you have it im using it right now and would like to update.

Is there a way to get the fingerprint scanner to work?
Hello Max,
Where can I download Lollipop bootloader from?
Thank you
Any news on getting this for SM-G900P (Sprint)? Happy to donate, want to make my S5 into an S6 to use with the Samsung Gear VR I bought my wife. She already has an s6 of course.
I did already root and install recovery.
