I have the 900I, and have installed v18 with stock 900I kernel.

How do I get NFC working?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

I just came from Phoenix ROM as it's laggy and gets worse throughout the day to the point it becomes unusable. Opening some apps, like facebook take between 5 and 10 seconds and you're just sitting there watching a screen do nothing. A bit embarrassing at times. Trying to take a quick photo before you miss the action etc..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
I've searched and searched but cannot find any info.

- what is the difference between 900i stock kernel and 900i omega kernel, in v18? ie apart from pay with fingerprint, what is the reason for choosing either kernel?

- how do I get NFC working?

all help appreciated. Hope this thread is not dead. Best rom i've tried so far.

Last question, now I've flashed a Lollipop ROM, is it now impossible for me to go to KitKat?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] trevagreene:
I'm using stock kernel with my 900I and all working.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
How did you verify?

I installed an NFC card reader and tried to read my bank card and office swipe pass but there was nothing.

I then tried to use my phone for tap and pay, but I tapped it on the NFC card reader on the door here in the office, no affect there (although not tried this before, if the tap and pay turns your phone into a bank card, then it should be picked up by another NFC reader. ie my bank cards are picked up by the office door entry / exit system and I can program the signature of my bank card under my user ID in the security system and access the building with my bank card as it's just NFC);
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] trevagreene:
I used NFC reader to read the chip on my MYKI transport card. Works no probs with no issue. Also tried it using my Westpac card and no problem there either.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
Okay I think I've found a bug.

Can you turn on your wifi and bluetooth and then see if NFC still works?

NFC is not working for me, but I turned off bluetooth and wifi and then NFC works and I can scan cards :) So, thanks for your help with confirming that it does in fact work. I'm okay to live with it like this.

Does anyone have any insight into the different kernels?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] trevagreene:
it works with wifi and Bluetooth on. although Bluetooth wasn't connected to anything.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
I did some more testing, it doesn't work with bluetooth on but it does work with wifi.

My bluetooth is always connected to my smartwatch, may be this is the problem.

Cheers :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
Hi i still have 2 problems:

- trying to find info on the 2 kernels

- call recording does not work

Call recording only records my voice and not the person at the other end. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] curioct:
I seem to be having two strange but possibly related strange issues, both around the external sd card, I am running the rom with the the omega kernel version 1.8 as I want to to try xposed in some time. (anyone know which files work best in arter's thread,? to be fair I probably need to search this thread a little more before asking this question)

However the first issues are that I can get the rom to recognise my back ups. the SD card is split in two partitons a primary xFAT and a primary ext4 for use with link2sd the odd thing is it seems to mount the partition correctly and I can see the files in es explorer but I cannot get them to relink in link2sd although new download will link and seem to work just fine. (could this be related to the move from an odexed to a deodexed rom? or file permissions?)

Worse still I cannot get titanium to recognise my back up folder on the SD card so I cant restore that way. I have tried all storage methods it find the files but as soon as you get to select this crashes titanium.

Further investigations with roehsoft drive expert seem to show the ext4 mounted to /data/media/0/android/data/ag.tvaddons.tvmc and the main xfat partition mounted to /mnt/media_rw/extsdcard which is inaccessible to titanium

Its a 128GB sd card

Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] curioct:
Well my issues above stems from some form or corruption of the external sd card, was a ball ache copying off 128Gb of data and repartitioning but try as I might I couldnt repair the partitions

Loving the ROM so far and having xposed back is just a dream :) so far every module I've tried is working was quite shocked by that :)

Great ROM very happy

Hey guys, so my phone has lost all vibration capability. It happened in the last month, I'm not sure what triggered it. Has anyone else had this problem? If not, at least I can rule out software faults, which I kind of doubt it is.

Cheers! And kudos to creator, awesome ROM!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dieselboy:
nope, vibrator is working here on v18 g900I

I have another bug, MMS is not receiving MMS. I constantly get "failed to download" errors. Ive re-sent the MMS config to my phone from my service provider but same problem.

Also, still trying to find info on the kernels

And, call recording is still not working.

Still Running a flawless v18 omega
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] 4rz0:
Does this ROM have any way to modify the Status Bar? Notification Drawer? Navigation Bar? Hardware Buttons?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] curioct:
Well since you can tun arter's unofficial xposed framework on it xposed modules like wanam and gravity box let you do this sort of thing. So yes not exactly native to the ROM but these kind of mods are not really required that way any more.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] gubbe:
Same for me. I'll be receiving my GS6 in a few hours. I've had the S2, S3, and S4 on Omega ROM, so it'll be weird not having Omega on the S6...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] msprenger:
Hi@all,

I am still on a v18 omega running without any flaw. Tried a couple of Custom kernels so far. Best till now is the boeffla kernel. The benches with antutu are incredible, around 62000. I will do a long term testing, to see how it works in daily use. Bat live is great. Normal use 1,5 to 2 days.

I will report asap

LG and be blessed msprenger

Anyone Who know if this great Rom will ever be updated again?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PeppeX863:
I am on v18 Omega rom with the omega kernel.

My NFC is not working. When I try to turn it on the button moves to the right, but it stays grey. Also in the statusbar tile it is in a faded green instead of a bright green when a tile is turned on.

I have tried wiping cache/dalvik and reinstalled the omega kernel and still don't have any luck.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi All,

I have been trying to get Xposed working on my phone all day, i have followed a bunch of differant guide on how to get it working on the S5, however it either says it is incompatible or i get boot loops, can someone give me a working guide to install xposed on this rom on a s5 G900F.

Also does anyone know if Viper4Android works well with this rom ?

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mauricewal:
I am still on v7 rom ?.

Can I update without problems to v18? I thought there where kernel issues?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] msprenger:
Hey to you,

Yes you can, but. ....

1. Flash bl and Modem of 5.0 via Odin. Or you can flash latest stockrom via Odin.

2. Do a fullwipe After a Backup! !!!!!!!!

3. Flash Version 18 via recovery.

Important !!!!!!!

I prefere using the stockrom to get the right Modem and bootloader....however After flashing stock let your Phone settle and Check if everything works.

There are no issues with Kernel. I recommend the latest boeffla kernel.

Kind regards and blessings

Msprenger
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mauricewal:
Thanks man. So a full wipe is a must do?

That I don't like Hahaha

My phone is working outstanding on V7 so I am a bit nervous with updating.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] msprenger:
Yes fullwipe is needed because you change bezween 4.4.2 and 5.0

Anybody flashed this rom on a virgin mobile s5? And if you did, did you have to flash an apn fix to get your mms to work properly?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pontypool:
I have a major problem !

For some reason, in many (if not all) dialogue boxes I cannot click next, ok or install.

I first noticed when I tried to run titanium backup, a super user prompt popped up, but when i press allow, nothing happened.. eventually the timer ran out and it refused access. I got around this problem by opening up SU and allowing everything by default without a prompt.

Next I tried installing titanium backup pro (from an apk file) and after reading the licence agreement i try to press "install" but it's totally unresponsive. (cancel works I

though) I tilted the screel from horizontal to vertical, assuming that it might register my press in a different part of the screen, but no joy.

Problem never happened once on the stock OS but it's happened twice in a row with OMEGA.

Finally , during installation, i didn't get much user information to explain choices. SO I didn't know whether to go with a stock kernel or OMEGA kernel. The only difference I could see was that omega supported exfat. Could this be my problem with unresponsive confirmation buttons??

Need help urgently please !
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] msprenger:
How long are you running omega. .? And which Version?

wrong kernel

Hey guys! I soft bricked my galaxy s5 after i flashed a kernel. If I do a full wipe and flash this ROM will my kernel also be replaced so my phone can function normally again?

Yes IT will

But i recommend to Flash the Stock 5.0 before flashing omega

Okay guys I need some help I have had this problem since I got my s5 about 2 months ago. So I'm on vigin mobile which is the same thing as a galaxy s5 on sprint but when I flash a rom I have voice service but not data service. I have searched and tried numerous methods with no avail. I have flashed zips 5hat claimed to fix it with no luck. I've typed in my own apn and it still is showing I'm using that apn with pictures I attached. I have even tried backing up various files with titanium backup with still no success. I flashed the M.O.A.R v7 and works great just looking for more customization capabilites. Is there maybe a file I missing or maybe something I'm not putting in the apn settings? Please help me to be able to use this awesome rom.

If you are already on 5.0 you do not have to. A clean flash of omega than is enough. If not i recommend to flash latest firmware 5.0 and than do like i wrote before. And most important… let it settle… than flash omega

Boot animation change not working

I was converted my some boot animation.zip's to QMG formats (bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg). So i was copied them to system/media folder. Boot animation not processed when phone starts. There was just "Samsung Galaxy S5" word. Then i was think it's maybe my boot animation got issue, so i need to take some clear qmg formatted animations. My choice was AOSP Marshmallow boot animation, but it's not working like previous my boot animations. Just shutdown animation works. How to set my own boot animations? :confused:

The v13 says g900F, where is the g900T link? I got corrupt zip error when I tried it anyway. Also I suggest using md5 checks as developer so we can verify files. I have no way of telling if the zip is indeed corrupt or that is a generic error due to it being for the wrong model.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe7dust:
Has anyone made a pros/cons list for using the stock kernel vs omega kernel? I don't see any documentation on what a custom kernel even does, but for now I'm going to assume that a custom kernel is required for custom CPU clocking... can someone confirm please?

edit: I never did find an answer to this, but it is probably pointless because I read all the documentation on the boeffla kernel and it sounds amazing. I would **** my pants if your kernel actually offers that many useful things considering the state of the ROM itself. I will definitely be trying the boeffla kernel out at some point but I seriously doubt I will touch another custom ROM after this one. I gave XDA like 10 strikes on this... I wanted to find that amazing reason to even bother with flashing but it just didn't happen.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe7dust:
On 2nd thought don't bother, I believe this is the 10th or so custom ROM that I have tried which seems utterly inferior to stock. I guess there just aren't any worth flashing to for the s5 in my opinion, or at least I am no longer willing to hunt for it anyway.

Some closing thoughts before I wipe this off my system:

1) Don't claim to be properly debloated when after properly deselecting sammy bloatware to not install it gets installed regardless.

2) Certainly don't add 7 to 10 of of your own custom bloatwares in the form of useless apps. (I lost count after around 7 of these)

3) If you expect a ROM to be useful, then at least make sure the wifi doesn't drop randomly at least once an hour.

4) You are definitely either a) a marketing genius, b) had a huge following before starting on this ROM, or c) this ROM was vastly superior to available stock FW back when you first started but then you were beaten by a real team of pros who designed the stuff in the first place. I wouldn't feel too bad about that last part, 1 man (and perhaps a few helpers) can only do so much.

Regardless of all the above shortcomings, the dev of Omega here is certainly a God among lemmings. I am absolutely amazed at how you managed to get such high ratings, review count and # of followers on this steaming heap of wolf excrement. You definitely did some things "right" apparently to get such high numbers, but creating a ROM better than stock 5.1.1 (ACTUALLY debloated) was certainly not one of them.

That being said, I have 99% lost faith in XDA in general slowly over the last few weeks trying to find a custom ROM that is better than extreme debloated 5.1.1 stock on s5. Not only are the custom offerings lackluster and full of issues, but the community seems to be more or less dead for this device. Maybe it is just selfishness and the majority are too busy playing with the new things like s7. Either way, it doesn't seem like very many people at all want to have more discussion on it. So I too, am done.

Back to my personally debloated 5.1.1.... (which means pretty much anything that CAN be removed and the sytem is stable while google play still works, it is gone) The performance, stability and battery life simply can't be beat doing it this way. I could be wrong about that since I didn't try literally every custom ROM out there, but considering how many of the seemingly "major" players I did try out it was quite a waste of time. Cheers all.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lymond:
I think maybe your personal experience is a bit different to others personal experience. I tried 5 other custom ROMs before Omega and all of them had fundamental issues right from the outset (e.g. play store crashing ever 5 seconds). Omega loaded up quick and on my phone, has no issues except the private mode not working (i.e. minor and not important). As for improvements over the stock ROM, I get another half day real battery usage, 2Gb more internal storage, some RAM gain and just the general good feeling that not having Samsung bloatware brings. I suspect all the others like me are providing this ROMs following...

I left in the two quoted points because I do still have reference to the magazine slide after debloat (although it doesn't work) and I did untick most of the useless apps added in.

Im using Omega 13... My cellular network just started the LTE service... Somehow my phones still giving me the 2G service... I went into the settings>More networks>Mobile Networks>Network mode... These are the options that I found:

WCDMA only

GSM only

Somehow I dont see an LTE or a 4G option...

Can anyone help me on this issue???

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HassanM:

Im just wondering should there be an LTE or 4 G option in there???

Perhaps Im on GSM Modem and probably thats why its not showing me the LTE option...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
yes, you most probably need a combination of a newer modem and csc. If you have sufficient know how you might manage to get this running with this rom here but it would probably be easier to go for a more updated rom which is working out of the box for LTE and provide you with the latest android security updates.
