Samsung s5 SM-G900f

rooted using towelroot

stock rom

can i use set cpu app on my stock rom? and modify my cpu usage and voltage?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
AFAIK you can change only some basic CPU settings on stock kernel. For more changes, you will have to flash a custom kernel which supports SetCPU app.

But as I don't use this app myself, I can't state what works and what not.

You have to install the app and test yourself.

I have a real Samsung 64 GIG sd card for my Sprint GS5. What is the best recovery to use for it? I am on TWRP 2.8.1 now and it appears to create a backup, but when I reboot and go to restore, it does not show any backups. Will Philz work, or is there an updated TWRP or clockwork that will work with a 64 gig card????
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenchii17:
First of all thanks for the reply i appreciate you guiding a super noob like me. hehe.

-Got it. Meaning i wont be able to utilize setcpu since im just using a stock rom? right?

-Have you heard guys who crash their devices using setcpu on a stock rom?

Since your not using the app. Do you know or can you recommend any trusted/tested apps wherein i can modify my cpu usage, voltage and things like that aside from setcpu?

Will S5 exynos variant receives lollipop update or not? Please anybody clarify. People in websites posting that exynos chip of galaxy S5 does not support lollipop. Is it true? Please veterans of xda please kindly answer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are some CPU tuner or controler apps on Play store, and No-frills CPU Control with an app thread on xda.

Saw one user reporting that it works on S5 stock firmware.

Maybe worth a try?!

And if you have any question about this app, just post in the app thread.

Hey everybody, I just got a galaxy s5 (previously owned a s4) and I have a few questions. First of all, am I able to flash any gsm rom from any carrier section? My device model number is SM-G900M, and I'm under the (small) carrier of iwireless, which uses T-Mobile's frequencies in Iowa. I don't have a section for my own device, so am I able to flash any carrier rom? Second question: I tried to flash a few unified aosp roms (lollipop) and they all let me have data, but wouldn't let me send MMS messages. Is there a workaround for this problem? Thank you in advance for any help and sorry if I broke forum rules (first post, don't know them all yet).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi,

I'm also on a G900F with stock rom/kernel and just checked SetCPU app.

In addition what @ It_ler already wrote here are my observations:

1. The app tweaks properly (also keeps changes after reboot) following tunnables:

- CPU max/min frequencies

- CPU available governors

- I/O available schedulers

2. The app can't tweak:

- CPU voltages - what is IMO obvious as voltages tweaks are usually not available for changing on stock kernels

- CPU governor parameters - you can edit them but they are not kept after reboot (even the option is checked).

Cheers

I'll take from here and give it a try!

Thanks for digging that and pointing me to the thread!

Thanks for your efforts dude well appreciated. Im just afraid to try this, thinking that it might brick my device since im just using a stock rom and a noob in this stuffs. Great that it's working on stock rom ill try it right away thanks again.

Anyways all i want is just to lessen my battery consumption that's why im doing this..

Any suggestions as well for tweaks to save battery juice?

In lollipop carrier label is displayed under quick settings panel (accessible by pull down of status bar with two fingers or by pressing a button in the right corner of status bar expanded).

Not needed. Do a back up before factory reset because all your user apps with their settings will be lost.

Btw I recommend performing factory reset from recovery than from OS.

I have the s5 active g870a 1ang3 baseband. I wanna try more roms. Just got this phone. But only couple say s5a or active. Found one that says g870a but the rom is based off of a different baseband.

My question is what roms can I use. Does baseband matter? Can I install rom that says active supported but doesn't state model? I tried using rom slot cause i didn't wanna mess with the stock rom. But gave me corrupt data when booted so now using stock slot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenchii17:
Great! thanks alot. ok, can you spoon feed me how to that?

sorry this android thing is really confusing if your new to it :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
No problem. It's easy. You need to power off your phone, then press in the same time volume up+home+power to access recovery. I assume you have still stock recovery, don't you? Then find the option called about "factory reset" (I am using now custom TWRP recovery), perform the factory reset and reboot your phone.

Again, if you have any valuable user apps which needs to be backed up with their data/settings, do that before in TB.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenchii17:
ok so im thinking, correct me if im wrong with the steps im going to take.

1. back up apps with their data settings.

2.factory reset my phone via stock recovery

3.install titanium back up

4. restore apps

that's it? am I in the right path?

Really appreciate that sir!Thanks alot!

Okay, so i had to reflash the stock rom on my s5 and i was thinking of giving lollipop a try before putting everything back on the phone. I probably won't keep it on lollipop yet but i would like to try it.

I have knox at 0x0 and no root now. Will downgrade from lollipop to kitkat with odin change knox? The posts i read from people who downgraded and mentioned knox said that they previously had knox at 0x1 so i don't know if it would change that or not

Hi,

1. It looks ok for me. And really no need to call me sir - just Many40.

2. Just checked for you my battery drain on WiFi with intensive Internet browsing - it is similar - about 1% / 3-4 min. When there is no data traffic (idle state) the battery drain is much lower.

So I think it's normal unless my phone isn't normal like yours ;)

On lollipop sometimes you view a photo in your gallery and it just shows grey no photo
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysAndroid:
Never had that problem. You sure you are looking at photo that is actually on your phone because into GS5`s gallery are integrated photos from cloud storage (like Dropbox and Google photos app) and if you don`t have internet access at the moment you can`t see that photo.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

I`m afraid by doing that you will brick your device and will be pretty much useless because you have updated version of GS5 and that ROM is for "normal" one.

I haven't really seen ANY ROM's that were made just for my Sprint variant, which has kinda stalled me as far as flashing goes.

Music Apps Won't Find Music on 64GB SD Card

NK2 Verizon.

Google Play Music and the stock music app from Samsung both refuse to add music on my external SD card to their libraries. I've had this 64GB Samsung Micro SD XC Class 10 in my S4 and it worked just fine and GP Music would find all of my songs and populate the library automatically. Now, I have to move songs from the SD Card to Internal storage for the Music apps to recognize their existence.

If I just click on a music file on my SD card in File Explorer, it plays the song without a problem, it just won't add them to my library.

The Folder structure on my SD Card is /Music/(Artist)/(Album)/(Song.mp3) and it is formatted as exFAT. I can take the entire Artist folder with the same subdirectories directly to the Music folder on my Internal storage and all of the songs are instantly found, so I don't think it's a folder structure issue.

Anyone else having this issue? Should it be formatted as FAT32 or NTFS instead?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Zac

EDIT: There was a .nomedia file hiding in another folder on my SD. Restarted the phone, Library updated. Sorry.
