The link is down. Could you, please, reupload the kernel to XDA directly?

Or anywhere else you want. Mediafire, Dropbox, etc.

Hi, I've been using cm-11 for a while and the KK dialer app just sucks, google changed something that really shouldn't have changed. Not that much anyways, the whole new concept sucks. "I just want a dialer man". Anyways, I tried backporting the phone app from cm-10 but it didn't work :( and I couldn't find any guide on backporting this way. My guess is that I was messing something up since this is a system app after all. Any guidance (or if anyone knows how to do it and could do it real quick :o) it would be really appreciated.

PS: If I filed this under the wrong category just let me know, this was the more fitting I could find.

Anyone else running MIUI v5 off the official site? Each time I try to install it viaTWRP it automattically fails. I do a full wipe as stated in the instructions, dalvik/cache/data an still nothing.

I have not tried it, but what is the specific error it gives when it fails to flash?

EDIT: I went to the Miui site and looked and it only shows htc one, but not different variants such as sprint/Verizon. So I downloaded and tried to flash it anyways, and it fails for me too saying its for different device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sonji3:
T-Mobile Bloatware

A Lot unfortunately. Name ID; T-Mobile TV; and Your T-Mobile Account. They don't take use a lot of memory. But you can't remove and they can be intrusive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dustintinsley:
If you root it, why would you not be able to remove the apps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] CitrixLemon:
It's actually pretty good compared to previous Galaxy phones. You have a few T-Mobile apps as mentioned and the usual random apps from Samsung, but other third party apps are limited to Amazon, Flipboard and Lookout Mobile Security (may or may not consider Lookout bloat). The latter three can be turned off. If you root you should be able to freeze or delete apps.

Even if you don't root you can just disable them. Google made it a lot easier to deal with boat ware since android 4.0. And yes, if you root you can delete or Uninstall them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xecure:
Backstory: I've had an issue upgrading to 4.4 on stock rom from 4.3 because I rooted the phone (or maybe it was because I unlocked the bootloader? I forget) Fast forward a few months to today: I'm trying to do a clean install of 4.3 (was planning on upgrading to 4.4.2 via an OTA update later on).

I successfully installed 4.3. I then went onto trying to install SlimROM but that failed. I don't remember exactly what I did after but eventually I tried installing 4.3 again from the image files I downloaded from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

This is what I've done:

And now I'm stuck here indefinitely: http://i.imgur.com/ud1ohAr.jpg

SEE POST 30 TO CHANGE YOUR PRIORITY BAND COVERAGE!

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/...ark-4g-network-problems-phone-calls/index.htm

I asked the store rep if Sprint is working on a fix, but we all know the Sprint reps are usually useless answering these questions (by this I mean at the store they are only trying to make a sell). Her answer was that Sprint is working on a fix that will fix all phones with an OTA. My next question was is this a hardware or software problem which she responded that it is a tower problem. I looked online for an answer but all I could find is that Sprint responded with a weird kinda lame answer that didn't really say if they are working on a fix or not. On Sprint's Forum a rep says they are, but they say a lot of things on the forum that aren't correct also. This seems to be a very frustrating situation actually.

Does it matter to you?

It does to me, but at the same time it isn't a function I use all the time. My only reason that it has helped me, is that it has greatly helped me with work a few or more times.

I am kinda forced to buy a new phone for framily / billing reasons... huge bill without it. I am sorta thinking that I will upgrade the phone but at the same time keep my S4 handy in case I hate the S5. I went to the store today and I have to say it actually surprised me with it's new version of Touchwiz- even though I usually hate Touchwiz.

The only real reason I can see me upgrading is the camera and battery algorithms for power saving.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pro_granade:
I call crap!

I've had none of these issues personally, and you can just turn off Spark.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] shawngormley:
I spoke with sprint today and they said it would be fixed when spark opens up nation wide.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] AcE2DuCe:
Spark is crap!!!

The reason you can only use one at a time is the triband antenna in the phone it can only use one signal at a time. It may be fixed once sprint starts using voice over LTE. Plus spark is just a unborn baby right now, not even full deployed. The sprint map says spark coverage is in certain areas on the sprint coverage map on the website. This is not true, the sprak network is 2.5Ghz radio head on the the already existing towers(have not be built or not on-air yet). According to sprint Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung towers are the only companies that are contracted to work on spark networks. Ericsson is looking like they will not be apart of the upgrade. This means there will be 1/3 of the sprint market that will not have spark. Sprint has the the companies split by markets and only two of them have contracts to build in their area.

Here is an article that will cover a good about of that info.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jeremyvbk:
NSN will be the contractor for the Areas served by Ericsson for NV 1.0. The reason you can not get SVLTE is because they do not have multiple pathways for 1x and LTE. Here it talks about it. The S5 was not the first phone to have this happen, All tri-Band Phones will most likely be without SVLTE from now on.

S4gru has a few pages explaining it better.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jpkelly05:
Yes, I forgot to mention it is not only the S5, but all Triband phones. I mostly wanted to put this out here in the open for feedback and other peoples knowledge when contemplating the S5 as an update. I would have been absolutely pissed if I found out after the fact.

Well I got the sprint spark friday when it came out and jus like my s4....I still got crappy coverage at my house but suppose to have best signal
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
Having sprint spark doesn't mean your going to have best speeds unless your connected to band 41 or band 26 which is the newest bands. With those speeds you have there i wouldn't be surprise if your connected to band 25 which is the 1900mhz which yea its loaded with majority of sprint customers which is going to give you real slow speeds.

Here some speed test on band 41 i took yesterday morning when i was heading to go play some basketball.View attachment 2686876
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] soufdallas:
WOW @ THOSE SPEEDS....Fukin incredible.............so im guessing they have to turn on that band 41 for me
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
Where do you live? And also what i did was i went into my settings ##data# and made band 41 as my primary. My list is #1 band 41 as primary, #2 is band 25 and #3 is band 26 since its not active here in Miami yet but band 41 is doing great so far as you can see.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
Ok i dont know if it works the same for all phones but try this lets see what band you are connected to. Go to your dialer pad and hit ##debug#, its going to take you to some settings and you will see lte engineering go there and you will see what band you are connected and such let me know because texas has been getting real great updates to their tower's.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] soufdallas:
So do I change to band 41
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
Ok so you see you are connected to band 25. Now go back to the dialer pad and hit ##data# see if that works and takes you to a menu. If it works you will see LTE through the list of options click it, now it will ask you to view or edit choose edit now im not sure if you would need your msl number which you probably would but if you do try to get it from sprint call them and ask for it then change your priorities to how you want.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Also after switching your priorities go back to the dialer to go back to the lte engineering screen again to double check see if your connected to band 41 or if your still connected to band 25. If your still connected to band 25 even though you have band 41 as first priority then the problem is you dont have a good coverage signal of band 41 around your home then meaning whichever closest tower to you might have weak band 41 signal coverage or hasn't been updated with the fibers yet.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] LordLugard:
Unless you just want the latest in bragging rights (S5) i would keep using the S3 till it practically falls to pieces. Your S3 has SVDO (you can talk and be on 3G at the same time), has LTE and works just fine. It's one of the last of a dying breed of really great Sprint phones.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pizzlewizzle:
Ah its not just about bragging rights...my S3 had cracked screen and I think better camera, battery life, screen, water resistance, and kitkat is a lot more important than being able to talk on the phone while searching the web(which I can still do on wifi). There is no shot I'm using my S3 while I have this beast in my hands.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
That feature is great and all but it's only good for folks that actually uses it as for myself i never really used it on my note 2 never really seen myself trying to use the web while i was on a call and if i did used it i was on wifi but like pizzle said i too would rather have the greatest phone out there especially if it has great battery.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Ya, Im not seeing any way to change band priority on the sprint s5. Just enable or disable each of the bands. The priority section does not exist...

Edit - It also appears Band 3 is disabled for me. Should that be enabled?

Edit 2 - Also, if you go to about phone, and check status...mine says LTE for network. Will it say Spark if you actually are connected to it or do they consider it still LTE?

I'm in apparently AWESOME spark coverage by home and work and I cant pull down speeds better than 4-5mb. If I go 10 minutes down the road, I pull down amazing speeds (like 50mb or so).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] soufdallas:

Same here band 3 disable and dont see either the priority menu..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
Ok gor the questions you had on the other post yes it will still say LTE even if connected to spark which is still considered as lte. Im not sure how to get to that area where you can adjust your priorities on the S5 gonna have to just keep searching around more and see if you find it I'll google it see if its possible to adjust the priorities on the S5.

Also you said you would get crappy speeds when at home but when you go out a few miles you would get 50mbps well that 50mbps means your connected to band 41 and well the crappy speeds at your house its either you dont have good band 41 coverage signal thats why the low speeds or means you have no band 41 coverage at your house yet and your phone connects to band 25 when at home.

At my apartment on band 41 i get about 7~10mbps but if im near my window in the room i get about 15~20mbps. Here in Miami band 26 is not active yet which would really help out when inside buildings and apartments and such i dont know if band 26 is active in your area plus dont go by what sprint websites says about you being in awesome spark coverage area because their maps are lies.

If you really want to know how coverage is in your area and where exactly are the towers at go to s4gru.com become a member and donate abouy $10~$20 bucks you will have access to the sites maps location and such and if they are active or not there's alot of great information about sprints coverage on that site.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] rt-hemiboy:
I believe not all the s5 have the option to switch the priorities myself and a couple more guys dont have it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] themuffinman:
As far as setting band priority, I don't think it will make a difference what you switch it to. So whatever band your phone will connect to will be determined on the network side.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jhuff83:
They told me to take it to the store to see if band 3 should be enabled. I'm not wasting my time on that. I also disabled 26 to see if it would default to 41 but there was no change and still showed me on 26 through the engineering menu.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] RevelationOmega:
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/170166-nexus-5-excellent-global-coverage-perplexing-lte-support

From what I've gathered online, Band 3 is international name for LTE, such as through parts of Asia and Europe. It seems disabled by default because we don't use it here, with Sprint being bands 25,26,41. I'm assuming, if we travel, that band would need be enabled for international usage of LTE. so, it's seems band 3 is no negative or positive benefit to enable (as I can see).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] yellowman82:
What speeds do you get on band 26?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jhuff83:
I've topped out at 45mb but usually around 25mb
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:

I only show band 3, 26,and 41 in the Chicago area. No band 25 at all. What gives?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
Band 25 is the first one that doesn't list the band name, they left the band off given it's the default cover all band as is 1900MHz which is original/native band for Sprint.

I think our phones have Band 41 as priority though because I have a far off tower that has LTE (close 3 towers don't lol) and the far tower has both 25 and 41 but for whatever reason it rather grab the weaker 41 band vs. the stronger 25 band. It also death grips the band once it has it only dropping to 3g, not 25 after I make it weaker by blocking signal more. Only way I can make it grab the 25 is disable the 41.

Odd. Can't wait till the towers near me are upgraded though. My battery life is about 9 hours MAX without even touching the phone for web, text or data, because it spends so much time signal hoppin. I have 3 towers near me all non-lte and a 4th one that's just outside range with LTE. This is my second S5 so I know it's not a dud phone...
