[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Install:

1. RomDarkICS.zip (you know what i mean)

2. SuperSU
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
I flashed them and started this Darkbalckrom.thing setup.

Should I do full wipe or not. (I have bad memories about wiping stuff)
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
its aroma installer ;) No need to wipe. already done.

ITS NECESSARY that you dont start do android when finish install BUT restart to FASTBOOT by using twrp

tell me when youre ready :)
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
Okay. It's now rebooted in fastboot mode
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Use the Desire S toolkit and select "flash a kernel" put in the boot.img you extracted from DarkICS4blabla.zip

and let the tool flash it. U need usb cable connected of course. When that succeeded you can restart. First boot can take about 2-3 min BUT your phone MUST NOT restart on its own, so if everything happened as it should your phone will boot normally.
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
Okay I hope it works. One question there were 4 or 5 boot.img files, so does it matter which one of them I choose?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
WHOOT? serious? named different???
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
Well they are named boot, boot(1).. but windows did that after unzipping. They are almost same sized, but not quite.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
how they were named inside the zip or had they been stored in single named folders?

If you cant select the right one (we need custom sense 3.6)

-> download this --> http://www.mediafire.com/download/b990rn4yqawqup9/3076.zip

and extract the first as its called "customsense3.6" WITHOUT "exp":

Happy flashing :P
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
They were all named boot.img.

I looked wrong first. Each of them was in different folder. Folders were named: ace,saga,glacier,inc,vision and vivo .They all have one boot.img file inside and nothing elese
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
THATS IT --> your phone is "saga" just use the boot.img contained in "saga" Thats cause the rom is suitable for different models

USE ONLY saga kernel
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
Yeah the s stand for saga. Good now I will be able to continue
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
saga is HTC's codename as my One S is "ville" wildfire is "buzz" and so on ;)
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
sending 'boot' (3492 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.597s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.728s]

finished. total time: 2.327s

C:\Users\vesa\Downloads\Desire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0\Desire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v2.

Now the Kernel is flashed(hopefully) and I will restart boot it to system.
[General Questions and Answers] vesaninja:
It seems to work:victory:

Also this new ui seems to be absolutely great.

Thank you for your help(again) shame that you don't have that kind of a donate button ;)

:cowboy: I will have to explore everything that I can do with my phone tomorrow, but now I need sleep :D

So thanks. It's really great that someone will guide an idiot like me:)
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
you're welcome. Think we'll talk again these days. I guess you will be very excited by your new rom ;)

Anyone has both the M8 and S5? Or had the M8 and now the S5 _(or the other way around? Although the S5 just came out)? How do they compare? Please try to be as objective as possible Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] besweeet:
I have both on me to review for a while. The M8 is obviously heavier, a little taller but not quite as wide as the GS5. I prefer something compact to better use in one hand, like an iPhone, but either one isn't as bad as I thought to use with one hand (although still somewhat difficult). I'm really enjoying the GS5's design. After using the M8 for a week, it already feels a bit dated for some reason. I'm glad the GS5 doesn't use virtual navigation buttons, allowing more screen space. Those are basically my initial impressions between the two for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lyrad12:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Pure+:
I don't think this topic needs it's own thread so I'll post here. How fast does the S5 charge to full? I plugged mine in last night when i went to bed and it seemed like it was charging about 1% per minute or faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] delawaredrew:
My gf has the M8 and I have the S5. Only a few days now but I like them both. We both had hung onto our original Rooted and ROMed Notes before these.

Some initial impressions:

S5 is lighter so maybe a bit easier to one hand, although after the Dell Streak and Note anything seems small and easy.

M8 feels more solid due to design/weight, but that is more a perception than function thing. The all plastic Note was fine so I don't expect an issue with the S5.

Screens are comparable, both very nice; different but one isn't distinctly better than the other in real life usage.

Speaker sound is obviously won by the M8, not even close. The S5 is ok, but the M8 is designed for sound and it shows.

Performance seems great for both, although I haven't had the M8 in my hand as much.

Reception (LTE) is the same in a side by side test on my table, just using the on screen indicator. Both are better than the Note.

I actually like the on screen keys on the M8 as they are the same as my tablets, I'm getting used to the S5 home button but I haven't had a physical home button in a long time (since the iPhone 3g- ...don't judge me!).

We both ditched the Stock UI for Nova and/or Apex Launcher immediately so I have no idea how Sense and Touchwiz compare in usage other than they felt both restrictive and simplistic off the bat.

Let me know if there is anything specific you want to know and I'll check it out; but after a few days around both I'd be happy using either device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bailey37821:
Coming from an Lg optimus G Pro..... got an M8 on 4/17 and started having issues with it resetting the home screens for no reason. Im sure it is probably just a rare bad unit but since it is my first HTC, I decided to return it and get an S5.

Really no reason to write several paragraphs on the comparisons as most of the comparisons done so far is what I have seen as well. To sum it up

*The HTC is elegant, cleaner interface, not as "gimmicky", looks and feels better made (although covering it in a case takes away all that beauty advantage), and has better external sound (by a lot). This not only applies to music but also to speaker phone calls. For those that are still confused about the sd card The US version DOES HAVE an SD slot on the left side opposite to the sim tray, so that argument is mute. The onscreen buttons are a pain to get used to unless you are coming from something with the same.

* The S5 takes better pics (not by a lot and you really only notice when they are side by side unless you have a photographers eye), the s5 is water and dust resistant (this is a biggie impo), i think the s5 battery is going to be a bit better, I dont see any real world difference in the screen clarity or color between the two. You will never notice any difference in speed rather in everyday apps or playing something like riptide, the s5 operates hotter and does not dissipate processor heat as well as the m8. Im worried about the charging port cover breaking on the s5. Too bad they did not get rid of the fp scanner and the hr monitor and spend the money on dual speakers.

*Photos and water resistance important = S5

*Sound and cleaner less gimmicky important = M8

Leaving samsung after 6 years

i have been with Samsung since their flip phone. and i even dealt with the stupid boot loader lock on the s4 for a year. and i recently got the galaxy s5 not even a week and i am going to exchange it for the htc one m8. I was greatly disappointed to find out that the Galaxy S5 (SUCH A POWERFUL PHONE) was locked down. It truly depressed me. and then recently i found out you can unlock the htc one m8 boot loader at their website, THAT IS AWESOME, but why cant sammy do that? its dumb. so i just wanted to let everyone that reads this know that htc CAN be unlocked. unlock crappy sammy. And to be honest i love the Galaxy S5, its powerful, fast, and amazing. but i cannot go another year without custom roms, kernels, and recoveries, thanks to my s4 being locked, i never got to learn the newest roms, kernels, or recoveries. :( so in exactly 4 days im leaving the locked down chamber of samsung and entering the freedom of htc :D

I would love to hear comparison of the battery in the LG G2 vs this phone. I am tossed up on going back to the LG since my experience with battery on this phone has been subpar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] besweeet:
I've only used my GS5 unit for a little while, but I'm pretty sure the G2 has better battery life. (I was very impressed with it in my G2 review.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] t91180:
That's what I thought too but I keep reading the s5 is better and I just don't see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrisngrod:
I guess this fits in this category. Every once and a while I'll check a new phone against a GoPro. For people that use Android apps to gather telemetry and what not on autocross / road courses, it might be of interest.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jubi Lee:
I'm still not a GS5 owner yet. No 32GB model along with the locked bootloader has really turned me off buying one (and I'm not going to pay full price for one from T-Mo, or switch carrier due to my work discount).

At this point I've got my eye on the OnePlus One when it comes out. Unlocked, running Cyanogenmod out of the box, nice. A little bigger than I'd like considering it's in the same class as the Galaxy Note 3, but it's still pretty enticing, especially for the price.

I've been a Samsung user for several years now, but I think AT&T has ruined it with their nonsense. I might just save my subsidized upgrade for something better down the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] androidbuff123:
I am currently on the HTC m8. Having this itch to swap it for the Galaxy s5. Anyone had any regrets having done this? Anyone here preferring the HTC m8 over this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] besweeet:
I still prefer the M8, mainly due to Sense 6. Much better user experience compared to TouchWiz IMO. I also prefer its design and rear curvature (:laugh:) a bit better.

Time article

""The world's biggest handset maker has replaced the head of its mobile design team amid criticism of the latest Galaxy S5 smartphone.""

I would be curious how much of that criticism stems from America? How much of that I wonder is actually not because of the Samsung design at all, but more because of frustrations experienced from the 2 big carriers turning off features designed by Samsung and then adding their own junk on top of turning things off (like they know better than both the phone designer/manufacturer and the major App producers.)

Forced updates that contain more bloatware, turning off great features like wifi calling, initial loading of bloatware that most people would like to disable in favor of other free apps that do the same thing quicker, better, and with less memory load. Hmm Samsung; maybe your head of design team needed replacement, but I sure would look at other factors. Meanwhile Im back on my OGP until I can sell this S5 and jump ship myself.

Well, guys and girls I want to hear from you why to get (or not) HTC One M8 or SGS5. I have two weeks to decide, but at that point I'm not sure which one to pick.

Currently I have SGS3, stock rooted, unlocked + Xposed tweaks, running TSF Launcher

What I'm looking for? Ability to root, unlock and customize little bit stock ROM using Xposed. Launcher, probably, I will replace with TSF anyway.

Thanks for any feedback

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rachelm920:
If you're not looking for a CM based ROM and want it setup like your SG3 then go with the SG5. I prefer CM/stock google so I'm screwed with my SG5. Although I am not impressed with the "waterproof flap" for the charging port, mine already broke and wont close :mad:

Looks like I am out of here

I had been waiting to see what happens with the bootloader lock, root for lollipop and when a lollipop rom got posted. This combined with only having 16gb on my s5, this morning I got an invite direct from oneplus.net, so I went ahead and ordered it.

Yes, I know the s5 hardware is probably nicer than the oneplus, however the oneplus isn't locked, has plentiful software options, and the one I purchased has 64gb of storage, so I will be much happier in the long run I think......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlgal:
FYI I finally got the upgrade (4.4.4) this morning from ATT!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oblib__:
I went from one plus to S5 for one reason -- one plus camera is terrible. Of course now I'm using an M8 because its camera is awesome AND I can load CyanogenMod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wmunn:
Actually, my experience with the S5 camera hasn't been great. Sure it can take a much better pic than the defective HTC One m7 did, however is time to get a picture from pressing the button to it actually snapping the photo is just awful, can be a full 3 to 4 seconds.

How bad really can the oneplus camera be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wmunn:
To give you an idea of how terrible the HTC One M7 camera has performing for me, Here is a sample shot of the problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] akitten007:
To be honest I've had the M8 and the S5, and both cameras seemed to fail in some areas. The S5 is great outdoors, but dark/inside and the front camera are grainy and washed out. The M8's camera was good in almost all light, as long as you didn't zoom in too far or crop the pictures (only 4MP). I am really excited for the new Androids to be announced so I can get rid of this locked down S5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oblib__:
The one plus camera takes ugly pictures, but it will only bug you if you're a picture snob. When I take a picture of the kids doing something cute or whatever, I don't like having the thought in the back of my mind saying "whenever you look at this picture you'll wish you had the real camera handy." I didn't have that thought with my S3, S5, or M8, but did with the one plus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wmunn:
Before I ordered the OPO, I read a few reviews of the camera, and it was given a decent grade compared to the rest of the top line phones. Sure some are better at one thing or another, but the sample photos I saw from the reviewer were definitely not any worse that I see from iphone 5 or 6, and definitely not worse that s5, M8, nexus 5 etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
You'll love your OPO I came from the S5 and I have no problem with the camera. Easy to unlock bootloader easy root tons of development
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wmunn:
This is exactly what I was looking for! unlockable, good root options, and most of all, plenty of ROMS to choose from. Now here's hoping the community sticks with this device for a couple of years worth the development and android version upgrades :)

One can hope right?

I like what I see with the s6 but there are some major downsides that really steer me away from the phone.

-Glass back will attract way too many fingerprints.

-no expandable storage

-usb 2.0

-lack of ip67 certification.

thinking that the s5 will be my last samsung phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] akitten007:
I don't mind the glass back or the lack of an sd card slot, as long as they don't gouge us for money like Apple does for better storage options. USB 3.0 doesn't give a noticeable speed boost when transferring files for me, and I hate the port/connector for it. I could go either way on water resistance, but it doesn't make or break a purchase. I'm also very disappointed with the HTC M9, which I wanted to switch to but now I'm not sure. Hopefully the Sony Z4 will be better than both of them..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amazingasian:
Just got the s5 in December and im pretty pleased and since i have the galaxy gear, im kinda stuck with the s5 for awhile. i think ill just wait for the next nexus to come out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] woody1:
I've been waiting for the S6 to be announced, and had planned to make it my next phone. But now, I'm very disappointed with the specs: smaller non-replaceable battery, no SD card, not waterproof. I don't care about the glass front and back, etc, or whether the back is made of metal or plastic. I buy my phones for functionality, not to compete in looks with Apple, plus, I keep it in a case anyway, so I never see the back. Having a curved phone looks like a pointless gimmick and I don't need a wrap-around screen. The only Pros I see with the S6 vs the S5 are the faster processor(s), better screen resolution and possibly, a better camera. All of those specs were completely adequate on the S5, so I think the negatives outweigh the positives.

This is an expensive phone, and I'm sure that the need to buy more onboard storage is going to drive up the price. I'd much prefer to use SD cards which get cheaper all the time.

So, the bottom line is that I'll be getting an S5 vs the S6. This has the advantage that root and custom roms are available now, so I won't have to go through the growing pains of waiting for S6 development to catch up. I'm really disappointed that Samsung decided to turn the Galaxy phones into an iPhone wannabe, but I guess that's what the mass public will buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Lack of IP67 for me means that I *require* a waterproof case (LifeProof, Otterbox, what-evs) or it's a no-go.

This by derivation renders the glass back undesirable since that just adds weight compared to plastic or metal. I woudn't NOT buy it because of the glass back, but it's not a bonus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
Can anyone compare a iphone 6 vs samsung s5 from actual ownership of the two? The s6 was a disappointment : not waterproof no battery swap, no sd card. Our att phones have locked bootloaders and our platform fragmented with lollipop arriving late. I see no reason necessary to stick with android. Any thoughts? None of my friends have android...it has become almost all apple world it seems. Im sorry to see it this way. I really want android to suceed. But the carriers are ruining things. Google needs to rein in android and push updates similar to windows desktops even though there are many oems. They need to enforce a consistent ui and buttons...i.e. no touchwiz and no samsung bloat. Too much is left to the carriers. Bootloaders need to be unlocked etc. Only then can android rein...
