since many week i search a permissive kernel for my samsung S5 G900FD ( dual sim)

i try to install 3 differents rom ( SVA 4.5 ; GERISROM; and an other but instable) but all are enforcing kernel.

actually my rom is GERISROM but it is an ENFORCING kernel.

For whatever reason, the fine folks over @ Google decided to design the OS on this phone to by default use the phones internal memory. I many cases, apps can't be moved to the SD. It gets better: go into your photo gallery any try deleting a photo. What you'll get is an error message telling you it's read only.

So I'll have to use the phone memory then,darn.what about music will that be ok to play from an sd card
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
Whoa! Slow down! You can still use SD card to store photos. You change it in camera settings. I merely confirmed your having said it wasn't that way by default. What I said was you can't move APPS there in most cases. You can set a lot of them up to use the SD card as storage. As far as music goes: Absolutely. I have like 6k songs on my 64gb sd card. I manipulate the files with my PC though. As I said, stock ROM had read only set. There may be an app to disable this, I've never bothered finding it. I'm never not near a computer, and to manage that many files using my fingertips is laughable.

Pretty sure my SM-G900i is beyond help

I have an SM-G900i that I rooted with Cf-autoroot. Everything was fine and I was very happy with it. When I went to bed two nights ago a friend of mine took it upon himself to start messing around with my build.prop file and now it is bricked. He said he was trying to "fix" it after that happened but I'm sure he had no idea what he was doing as he couldn't even explain it to me. If the phone is bricked and I have no way of knowing what else has been done to it, is there anything I can try to do to fix it?

Describe "bricked." If you can get it into download mode, Odin it back to stock and start over.

I think you quoted the wrong post, but that's ok, I think I know what you're saying. If That's the problem you're having, may I suggest trying a different SD card? A known good one? SanDisk it well known for not playing nice with the S4, S5, and all of the Notes as well. I've personally had 2 cards nuked by my S5 (a 64gb and a 128 gb) My most recent Sd card seems stable.

Go to YouTube and enter a search of your model number with the terms Odin back to stock. Follow the directions. It's really quite simple, and frankly at this point what do you have to lose? You'll need to download the stock firmware for your device, which may or may not be linked to in the video description. Sam Mobile is the place to find it if that turns out to that it's not linked there.

Question: I frequently flash the latest BlissPop rom (lolipop) on my phone, but each time it resets all my widgets, settings, etc. Is there a way to restore those settings after flashing a new rom? I have google cloud backing up everything, and it says it is but each time I flash there is nothing there but a backup from 26 days ago that I believe was off of a CM11 build. Am I missing something here, and is there a way to force my phone to trigger a full backup to cloud?

Note: Each time I flash I wipe system/cache/data and factory reset, install rom, install latest PA beta 12 GAPS, clear dalvik and reboot. Cheers.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwift:
I personally use ADB command line to do my backups. But I am 99% sure that it won't backup widgets. For that I think you need a launcher like Nova that allows you to backup your current UI/Widget settings

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

I would like to add, since you're rooted, Titanium Backup is a great option. Although, I am not sure it does widgets either, it can backup your current launcher. Nova can do the same, I always used Nova's backups to my Google Drive rather than creating a backup for it in Titanium.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragehead:
See that is consistent with all the web searching I have done on the subject, yet each time I flash a rom the new lolipop restore from backup thing comes up when you first boot and it gives me options to restore from two different backups. One was from the original Samsung TouchWiz firmware, and the second was from a Kitkat CM11 version of PAC. When I restore from the PAC backup it automatically sets up the widgets and downloads/installs the apps I had installed then. I think I may be chasing a ghost here.

Update: did some reading on ADB and I think that in combination with SMS backup will accomplish what I want to do. Now the question I have is if I am flashing a new version of a rom (example: BlissPop v 1.8 from 1.7) would I want to run -nosystem to avoid trashing changes they may have made or is this backing up things that would not be changed in roms? Meaning could I be trashing fixes they are putting in by doing a ADB restore with system of a previous build that didnt have the fixes?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwift:
With ROMs, yeah I would say do -nosystem. I haven't sat down to look at exactly what is included in the system portion, but I would leave that one out.

Hi,

I've got a question. I'm considering buying myself Galaxy s5, however I'm not a big fan of a touchwiz - it really pushes me off. If I were to buy one, i would definitely like to change it for e.x cyanogenmod. But with changing rom, you also lose all default aplications, like camera, which is really nice is s5. And here is my question. is there a possibility of having custom rom and somehow still having original camera aplication?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
I am stock rooted. My S5 default camera app stinks on ice! Randomly shuts the phone right off when using flash. You might take 2 or 3 pics before that happens. It might well happen on the first one. You have to pull the battery to get the phone to reboot. Now, being the lazy sot I am, I haven't really pursued getting a different app, slash finding our why this happens. But something for you to think about. How do youknow you like it so much if you don't have the device lol?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lufeczka:
What i meant with liking were all those options like selective focus etc. I would love to have them still in my phone, as those with camera itself are main reason I'm considering buying s5 and not htc one m/e8

I would say to YouTube search your device model number with the search terms "return to stock" It will give you links to Odin with detailed instructions. (remember to right click Odin and "run as admin"after extraction). If Odin doesn't see it (the video will explain how you'll know, then we'll delve deeper into the why's of that. What OS do you run on your PC? Are you saying you already have Odin and it doesn't recognize it?

Yeah, Skypes not going to work for me. I'm on 4 computers in three different rooms today. This is probably as fast as it's going to get.... So then you have Odin. What version, and what OS are you running? Have you tried reinstalling drivers from a fresh download in case the other one was corrupt? Are you sure the driver is applicable to your device.

You're supposed to enter download mode after you have started Odin. Start Odin, then enter download mode, THEN plug in the cable. Not sure how much it matters, but it's how I've always done it.

Did you search the videos like I told you to? They would have had a link to the stock ROM for your device. you have to put that in one of the boxes on the right (AP I think). You really should go find the videos so you don't make something that's already bad even worse. I've done it dozens of times and I STILL watch the videos so I don't trash a 600$ phone. But you need that file to revert to stock. The stock ROM. Typically you get that from Sam Mobile (or sammobile or something). You'll probably have a to create an account (free) to get the file. You stabbing around at something you don't know about and haven't researched is what got you to right where you are now.

Upgrade to Lollipop went to h*ll

Hello everyone!

Yesterday I installed the latest update from Samsung which took me from android KitKat to Lollipop, however the phone is completely useless at the moment.

Why? Because the phone constantly loses connectivity. The reception bars flashes and then the "no service" circle appears and so on back and forth. When I try to look at/change some of the network settings I sometimes get some kind of "insert sim card" error. There is nothing wrong with the sim card as it works fine with any other ROM.

Samsung has no support this late (19:28 atm) and I must have a working phone for work!
