Hello Goldie

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for this amazing ROM: fast, stable, customizable from A to Z, and with some cool features such as "glance" !

I am following up regularly your thread to see the comments and how you help people and I thank you for that.

On my side, I just have a few comments:

1. after upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 and now 5.3 I have lost the icon for "stock message" app. Now I only have the green android one. It is not a big deal as the app is working well, but just not super sexy

2. the "ULTRA BATTERY SAVER" mode is not working anymore from 5.2 + 5.3 (When I click, nothing happens)

3. Encryption of phone is not working (attempting, rebooting and then rebooting again a second time without encrypting)

Thanks a lot for the private mode, I confirm it is working :victory:

However, any clue if there is a shortcut we can have somewhere to activate/deactivate quickly rather than going to parameter/menu/...

Thanks again

New bootloader, but I think I identified what was causing freezes and reboots from my side. I will wait again 1 day to see and confirm

The "wake with home key"...I disabled it and no more issues since more than 24hours....

Hi. Can these "floating messages" only be used with an S-Cover or how do I use it? Its enabled for all apps but I don't see a difference ?!? :)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] finbarr1969:
Nothing to do with S-Cover as far as I know. I simply get a message at the top of my screen (for a few seconds) when I get a hangouts message, Wi-Fi available etc.

Working fine for me :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] txr33:
If using ng2 or ng7 bootloader then you have to use either a custom kernel or flash the stock ng2 kernel available in ota. Kernel included in rom is pre ng2 so people with older bootloaders and devices other than 900f will boot and not be stuck at the splash screen. I will add option at install next release to choose ng2 kernel

Floating messages only works for stock messaging app and the list is what apps it shows in, so you can select to not show it if in a certain app if choose. It just needs to be turned on and possibly a full wipe if havent done one from when v5 was released.

1. For those with black glass or alliance theme installed and missing stock msg icon fix is available in ota now for that.

2. If you installed with no sammy bloat then i think goldie has moved the launcher for upsm into that list by accident if installed with sammy bloat then it should be working fine as it is here.

3. Never done any encryption on any of my phones so can not help you there. Also we havent touched anything to do with encrypting the device either so not sure where to even look

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
For info....I am on old bootloader and my phone gets badly abused with pushing files left right and center and I have not had one freeze. Im guessing changing bootloader is the root of anyones issues and is imo a good example of why NOT to update bootloaders. Sammy do all sortsa stuff and often it does more damage than good to go changing them "just cos its new"
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Reggy Noble:
Is there a way to downgrade bootloader?

I updated mine longtime ago because at this time there was no way to update to kitkat (think it was 4.2) without upgrading bootloader.

By the way, I think I can now confirm that "wake with home key" was causing trouble from my side. Probably linked to bootloader (I don't know), but at least I did not get any single freeze or reboot since it is desabled. Before that it was almost 10 reboots per day.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Your s5 came with 4.2? It should have shipped with 4.4.2. Hence I am on the same bootloader I had when the device shipped.

You never posted a log for those reboots did you? Do you run xposed? Cos i have it enabled as do most people I think and noone else reported reboots I dont think
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] love is me:
Anyone facing an issue with the cam?

Since i flashed 5.3 and the cam always shows blank black screen on back and front cams?

Any fix for that? [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Ok....between 5.2 and 5.3 only 5 apks changed. SystemUI, mms_blue, SecSettings, SamsungIME and PersonalPageService. Nothing relating to camera, nothing related to framework. So I dont know what you people are running but these issues are not rom related im afrad
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Reggy Noble:
Hehe! Sorry I'm mixing things! 4.2 was for my S4.

For my S5 first custom rom I ran was Omega I think. One of the rare available at this time and recommendation were to upgrade bootloader.

No xposed

As i am the only one having this issue, then for sure it's not related to this rom but anyone has an idea of the cause before i reflash the ROM

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

I have a recent apps icon in my notification pull down. Clicking on it is faster than clicking on the official recents button. I thought this delay was some TouchWiz nonsense but the difference in speed makes we wonder if the button has some kind of delay while waiting for a long press. I don't have a long press action but I still think there is a response delay.

Hello

Thanks for your fast reply.

1. Indeed corrected

2. I will be waiting for that apk addition in the next version as this is quite convenient when you are around 5% battery left. It would be cool to have it without installing all the sammy bloat.

3. Is there any shortcut for privacy storage? Because everytime I want to activate it i need to get to settings/menu/etc,,,,

Another point I would mention: the samsung swipe keyboard

Right now, you have the annoying behavior:

a. if you correct a word it will add a space after (ex: before> hello in happy // after correction> hello I'm happy. // there is double space before the word "happy")

b. In version 5.1 (or 5.0) of this ROM, the usage was really smooth and cool, you could delete entirely a typed word with one stroke on the delete button. Now you need to delete letter by letter

So is there a way to use the samsung keyboard from version 5.0 of this ROM?

-Ability to adjust the amount of overscroll...currently it takes a long pull and hold to see the whole alliance Rom word in the overscroll, would be cool if we could make it show as soon as it hit the edge.

I noticed that after I updated to 5.3 my screen isnt waking up when i receive an incoming call. I doubt that its a kernel issue cause i have tried stock, wanam and kt..I am on ang9 bootloader btw but in 5.2 i had zero problems with this..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Well....its loading resources so it will use a lottle more battery but nothing you will notice. It will go slow the first time as it loads resources but once loaded its the same as normal. If you dont like / cant take this then juat disable it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Again....nothing in phone apps changed.

Now...as its not something I have ever done I dont know if you can downgrade bootloader (im guessing not). I always steered well clear as I have seen the issues this can cause. But you should ensure your kernel version at least matches your bootloader.

Can I ask....why do you people change bootloader in the first place?

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] super_extreme:
I just hit Load Defaults in KTweaker, then the application hang up and phone made a hard reboot. But now it seems to be pretty fast.

I can swear there weren't any files on the sdcard and that I didn't change any settings but something must have slowed down my phone from kernel side.

Even WiFi settings are saved with new version ...

Which Statusbar option changes Network symbol from "4G" to "LTE"?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Quinnaay:
was considering updating my bootloader is there no point in doing this? i was hoping for better battery life. My Android OS is 12% in 18hrs 50minutes, my Android System is 18% and my screen on time is only 3hrs 45, which is disappointing. I am on NG2 bootloader, Ktoonz kernel and this rom. I've also removed many things via TB and have Greenify Pro.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
As long as there is no special Data Icon Style for this, you may check Xposed module "4G/LTE Switcher" ;)

I'm on "Default" data icon style and using the above mentioned Xposed module ... so I have E (Edge), H/H+ (HSDPA) and LTE (4G).

But maybe Data Icon Style "TMO" or "CMCC" will do the job for you already, if you don't want to use XPosed.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] koragg97:
Step 1-

Install Rom Customizer from Playstore

Step 2-

Make Sure You Have a Custom Recovery - TWRP or Philz

Step 3-

Put ROM on sd. Open rom customizer. Select install from zip. Choose whether to install samsung bloat, google bloat or blackglass. Choose install. Reboot MANUALLY to recovery (ROM Customizer will say rebooting...its not...you have to do it!)

Step 4-

Once booted open Alliance Manager from app drawer to create needed folder structures

Step 5-

Enjoy!!

I'm getting a S5 in a few months and I think the first thing to do is make a nandroid and flash this awesome ROM when I get it :)

But there's one thing I don't understand --> when I boot into Recovery MANUALLY, do I have to flash something or I just boot to recovery and then choose Restart System? Also, why can't I just flash ROM.zip through TWRP (without using ROM Customiser App)? Thanks for this ROM [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
1. If you install the ROM via ROM Customizer, you can select some additional options, such as install Google, Samsung apps, some themes (such as Black Glass), different kernels, etc. along with the ROM.

2. Booting into recovery manually is needed on some recovery versions. On others you can choose "reboot" (automatically) in ROM Customizer.

Only if this does not reboot automatically into recovery, you have to boot manually. But the flashing of the ROM will be done instantly after booting into recovery.

3. You can flash the ROM zip file in recovery manually (without ROM Customizer), but then you won't have the option for Google/Samsung apps and themes, etc.
