[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
The really annoying this is I do not know what exactly caused it to work. I have done several other supposed fixes to get the tethering to work including editing some of the sql files in the phone and downloaded several tethering hot fixes from xposed and some other apps that all never actually worked.

I think then I was on 2.0 and updated to 2.1 and later on tested it again and it started to work. However other people report it working so I don't even know if it is anything I actually did.

For anyone who has it working (and by working i mean you can enable the tethering through the built in app and it works even on pc's) have you tried any 3rd party apps or anything mods from xposed or anything or did it just simply work off of a fresh install of the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
The native tether app works completely fine on version 5 of this rom fresh out of flashing it. I just get the redirects if I'm not connected to a vpn, so T-mobile is still detecting http user agent string. Is there anyway to circumvent this I wonder? Besides using a vpn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
You can use a user agent switcher in your browser.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
Doesn't that redirect you to mobile sites because you have to use a mobile string in order to not get the redirects?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
See but I do not get the alerts from t-mobile and I want to see if anyone knows why. Ive done a ton of things and am not sure what may have fixed it.

I also don't want to wipe mine and then break it with out knowing how to fix it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
You might be able to use a blank user agent string, or something like a GoogleBot user agent string.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
It's not breaking anything, it's just having to unfortunately take extra steps in order to basically "trick" t-mobile into thinking that you're using your phone data on your phone and not any other device(s).

One thing I think that can be taken care of, is seeing how to enable vpn on the phone through the tether app and have it encrypted. Because the vpn I use is private internet access. The application itself does not work while the tether is active; I tried to get my pc to connect and it wouldn't with both the vpn and tether on. I haven't tried using the built in android vpn software, nor the usb tethering to see if that yields any different results. And the only other reason to need a vpn to avoid these redirects is because of using things like browsers on a smart-tv or ps4 where you can't change your user-agent string.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
I used to use VpnROOT on my Galaxy S2 (Boost Mobile). I think I recall tethering and using VPN simultaneously, but I'm not positive. It might be worth a shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Back when I had my note 2 on t-mobile as well, I used jedi master x2 rom on 4.3 and had no issues using tether and vpn at the same time. So I think it's just something in this rom itself or something in 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
1.Make sure you have apn set as in op. Version 5.0.

2.make sure share diagnostic info is off. (Settings/about device)

If you don't share data they can't collect data.

3. Should not get upsale. I won't post on this anymore. If you think it's not working use wifi tether router.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dillis:
roms working great up here in toronto! :highfive::good: cant wait for the next update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
Yeah did that a while ago. Still redirects. Lol. Whatever I'm done complaining about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Damented:
Anyone have a link to the kernel used in this rom? I installed faux and wanting to revert back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
You posted this in the AllianceRom thread too. Which ROM are you using? This ROM uses faux's kernel anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dillis:
im pretty sure this has faux kernel in it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
Just dirty flash and choose the other kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
In aroma their is a selection between faux and the stock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
I would like to know why mine works so we can help everyone else like you to get it working.

I re-enabled the diag info and tried again and it still doesn't redirect.

Try Jtether (red andriod icon)

Open Garden wifi tether

Barnacle wifi tether

Those 3 apps do NOT work but could have possible done something to the phone (As the require root) to actually get it working and they are free, unlike the other one he is talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
Ok guys i think i first need to apologize sincerely!!

See the thing is, after reading the issues/confusion with the multi-dpi and also with the messages being white, i thought TP neg on the features that was there from the beginning ie;(Core features) So without installing i jumped the gun thinking i wont be able to get what i had on previous versions despite being tempted to use the hybrid to gain privatemode.

Which i then later realized i wont be using as i use Xposed to theme and tweak the ROM.

Thabks ya'll but forgive me for passing such judgement will backup and try v6 before i make any statements!! :angel::angel:

Can anyone on v5 confirm or deny tho if Shealth is working with Xposed? another one of my gripes with v1.1... app FC so no heartbeat sensor...:(:(

Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
thought it was fixed but on 5.0 not sure if to added the fix we talked about it but don't know much as I barely use either privet mode or xposed I see benefits of both but I don't absolutely need em altho root cloak for xposed is +1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
Just tried Rootcloak... didnt work! gona wait and try v6 load it up with mods then try s health first... hope all runs well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
I didn't mean to say it worked but I mentioned to say it's a nice mod if it worked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Guys read the op about private mode and xposed. It explains about disabling secure storage so shealth and xposed works but disables private mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thelazy8:
Can confirm s health is working fine with xposed active on v5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Thanks for verifying. Just to say it again.. (I have posted this all over the forums and its in the op). The reason why Shealth did not originally work with Xposed is because its not compatible with the secure storage feature that is built into the S5. Sadly, thiis is also used by private mode. By simply disabling it, Shealth will still work perfectly and will default to regular storage however private mode will get killed. This is a limitation of xposed and has nothing to do or cannot be fixed in a rom.

In order for private mode to be enabled, secure storage has to stay enabled. If you dont care about private mode though, you can just simply turn off secured storage by using a file explorer and navigating to /system/build.prop, open it, search for secured_storage=on and change it to secured_storage=off and reboot. After that everything will be back to normal.

This is the only tweak that every other rom has to enable shealth with xposed. I managed to get private mode working in this rom though so was obviously unable to add the tweak or it will kill private mode again. This has been the same thing that has been posted in the op but I am posting it again for reference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] beachbum40:
Great rom!! Thanks for your hard word?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dillis:
excited for that mms fix they released! been annoying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
I tried doing that but my line on v1.1 says (ro.securestorage.support=true) tried changing it using the editor it says cannot save...

not sure why or if that is the correct line... any help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
If you ate not able to save it probably means that you don't have root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mhaner:
How do I change it so the music doesn't stop when recording video?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
You want to play music while recording video? That doesn't have anything to do with this ROM, and there are plenty of answers on Google. Please search, and if you can't figure it out, create a new thread in the appropriate sub-forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dnsmo:
I can also confirmed that shealth is working with xposed active on v5, in fact there is an update on shealth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mhaner:
Ok it was just included in the other ROMS I've used on the S5, I have googled and searched the forum. I see a bunch of other people asking the question but no answers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
It has to be modded in, I'll try and get to it on a future release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
Cough cough call recording mod ... lol anyway we can get room cloak to work I think I read somewhere it had a weird bug with all galaxys. Would be nice since some games and apps FC after detecting root. This should be a mod to work on cloaking root rather we use the xposed mod or try to incorporate a different one i can see this becoming a problem in the future. And if we can get it working for will only further push pi to fame.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
Ok then... might sound silly but i have superSU installed I also have been using Xposed heavily with tweaking... Can u tell me how to chek to see if i have root?

googled and checked... i am rooted!!

Dont know wat else to do... gonna wait on v6 and try again:(:(

Also guessing we are on the heels of 4.4.3 update as well ... sweeet sweet v7!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
You need to remount /system as read-write (instead of read-only). This is not a problem with the ROM. Android always behaves like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
Thanks but hasnt been working for weeks now wont kill me to wait on v6 to start over again... i have missed quite a few versions... LOL!!

now v1.1 to 6:good::good::good:

Cant wait for 4.4.3:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ecksor:
It's not the ROM, it's the file manager that you are using. Some of them mount /system as writable when you access it, others require an extra step. If you use ES File Explorer, first you need to scroll down to Tools > Root Explorer > Mount R/W > set your /system folder to R/W. Edit the files and when you are done, go back to Root Explorer and mount /system back to R/O. That's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Scymynd:
hi, some of my games arent compatible, is there something I can do to fix this on my end?

and how do I edit the banned webpages thing? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
"Reset The Net" apps

Hey tp, will you consider adding these apps to Aroma? https://pack.resetthenet.org/

They are secure chat, texting, and phone apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] crazyc78:
I thought I was the only one, I have been experiencing that since I have used this particular rom. I don't believe it's exactly related to the rom but there is a correlation somewhere. Have you backed this rom up and tried another rom or even back to stock? That's where I would start first. I'm not entirely concerned about it as the games I play the most are good to go. I'm suspecting it is a Google play issue perhaps and not the rom. For troubleshooting purposes I would use another rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Yes sure, I will look into it

Its most likely due you to the dpi, try changing the dpi back to stock, 480.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 808phoneaddict:
Does this rom require me to be on a certain firmware? I'm still on anch....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Nope, it's base on the latest but will work perfectly on any.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 808phoneaddict:
Ok good to know... Will be flashing real soon! Sounds like a good rom from what I can see
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
THANKS BRO!! IT WORKED!!..... SOOOOO HAPPPYYYYY!!!!!!:good::good::good::good::good: :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

SO HAPPY WHEN I TOOK THE STRESS TEST IT ASKED U SURE UR STRESSED? UR STRESS LEVEL IS SOOO LOW...LOL

STILL AWAITING V6...:D:fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 808phoneaddict:
Is there a way to edit custom settings for this rom? I don't see it... Things like dpi, battery icon, etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Master Ramy:
as TP previously said, V5 was rebased to the ANE5 base, and was meant to be super stable with all the usual tweaks as far as init.d, etc. with themeing mods to be added further down the road. for now id suggest using Rom Toolbox pro to adjust some of these things, as well as triple tapping the battery icon to access the built in OG Battery Mod.

ofcourse with toolbox, makae sure to have a proper backup before attempting things, as some rare things may cause bootloops

hope this helps!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
Read the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
can someone confirm or deny the use of reactivation lock and find my fone??

I cant seem to add my fone to the Samsung account which is already activated on the s5... weird!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dvyn:
Wondering if this feature is linked to knox... hmm is it worth investigating [MENTION=3011323]tp2215[/MENTION]??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
I don't think so, it should be working. I'll try it later to verify.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Frodo56:
Maybe a dumb question (which is never out of the ordinary for me).....How can I create a desktop folder? I've tried long pressing empty spaces, dragging one app shortcut onto another, etc, but cant' seem to accomplish this simple task. :(

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Never mind. I just figured it out.

For anyone else stumbling with this basic task, create a folder under Apps, drag that to the desktop and then add what you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
It's even easier than that. Just drag two app icons together and it will make a folder.

Samsung Account Backup has stopped with Restore

Super clean install. Get the unfortunately Backup has stopped, when trying to restore. I installed all the Samsung and or Google stuff in aroma. No Xposed anything...Private mode works. But when I try to use the restore function, I get the unfortunately Backup has stopped. I have tried deleting the account and restoring. Wipeing Cache and Dalvik and fixing permissions. Any thoughts. I use this mainly as a convenient method of restoring messages and MMS attachements. Yes I know there are apps for that. First time I have experienced this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dweet:
OK I had the same exact issue... what I did was uninstall supersu from chainfire, then installed supersu from clockworkmod from the playstore... there are 2 supersu,'s in the playstore. When I opened up the new supersu from clockworkmod in the playstore, I updated root by recovery. Then I rebooted and uninstalled supersu from clockworkmod then downloaded supersu from chainfire in the playstore.

It worked for me hope this helps and it isn't as confusing as it seems.. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyacrash:
Thanks for the hard work, downloading now!!

Quick question regarding tethering - does the APN need to be modified as described on the first page still? Or does 0.5 fix that too? Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
apn needs to be modified same as the op says cept make it fast.t-mobile.com and make them ipv4 NOT ipv4/ipv6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyacrash:
Thanks! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nexus85:
Does anyone have a copy of the stock dialer apk? Thanks in advance...I searched but i did'nt find it anywhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Is just backwards in Aroma. Reflash and select black dialer and it will flash the white one (stock)

It will be fixed tomorrow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
tp, i posted an updated method for tethering on page 19 i think. may want to get t hat updated in the op as i think it is more accurate with the fast.tmobile setting and the ipv4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] akafaze:
Does this rom help the phone run snappier and smoother? Stock lags when going into multi-window and other tasks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
I did implement a few tweaks bit there will be many more coming soon.

Yea thanks, I'm on mobile right now but I will update it tonight or tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rfb813:
Flashed v0.5 and all is working great. Thanks for all your efforts!

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Saw the comment in the other thread about the data and hotspot toggles in the notification panel. I don't see them in v0.5. Can we get them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
There was a know issue on beans rom that svoice laged the home button we had to open it disable the setting then freeze it via tbu I just removed the bloat like the other guy so I'm a install my slim version I left svoice on it just to freeze it for that issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
It actually occures in every touchwiz rom with Svoice. There is a 2 second wait after hitting the home button where Svoice waits for another press to activate. You can disable it easily in SVoice settings. There an option that says open via the home key, just uncheck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cal3b:
Hey, nice work I am liking it. Only a couple things, the dialer and menu both look the same. I selected AOSP menu and black dialer and neither worked. I flashed twice.

I'll PM you (OP) with a mirror when the file is done being uploaded.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Master Ramy:
I believe those are both opposites so u gotta choose opposite kinds and it will change, so use white dialer and Samsung menu, and it should correct both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
Yes seems fine svoice frozen will keep you updated if I encounter anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
when you guys using hotspots, u guys using native app with edited apn , or using other third party app ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
edited apn but just activate tether from settings don't Need any app

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

OK I messed some stuff up when I deleted stuff op releasing another update tomorrow? I don't wanna go back to see what I jacked up for minor bugs I caused lol hopefully we can get the full apk choice in aroma like 0.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Master Ramy:
Yeah he said in the previous page that he will try to restore the app selection in the new version tomorrow now that the main bugs are squashed, and will work to add more features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
Guess I'll go to sleep and let my phone bug out for awhile I can always reach install the bloated version if all else fails
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Carlos2200:
your rom is amazing so far! just flashed my phone this morning and tested both the phones speed test and the tethering speeds afer the apn tweaking and it is great ! Cant wait for more updates from Project Infinity! Here are my speeds and yes they are from this morning with low traffic and will test again later today.

Edit: Nice! Peeked at 37501 kbit/s and wondering if living very close to the tower is hindering!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] n2nin:
You can use gravity box and xblast to customize your status bar and enable nav bar. I also got rid of the stock battery icon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Hi there tp will the next update include options to select the tmobile dialer within aroma and perhaps more aroma option to let user pick and choose thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Yup, I added it back. Just really started working on it again after a little break so it will be a little bit before a release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
I lost my root access when u installed v5. Is that suppose to happen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BLuFeNiX:
Did you wipe before flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
Yes. I did the full wipe to install new rom. But I just read some couple of post back. I will try that out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
If you read the op it explained what happens . Do this steps

1.Open super user

2.click super user settings

3.find reinstall under clean section

4.open Google play

5.install super su by CHAINFIRE.

6.open super user it will need to install new binery.

7.pick the twrp option.

8.hold power click restart.

9.Immediately hold home and volume up. Until u get recovery.

10.IT SHOULD AUTO INSTALL THE BINERY IF NOTHING HAPPENS JUST REBOOT. AND DO STEPS 6-9. IT MIGHT TAKE 2 OR 3 TRYS FOR THE RECOVERY TO INSTALL THE BINERY. AFTER IT AUTO INSTALLS ROOT WILL BE RESTORED.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
Oh sorry. I missed the op... my bad didn't read it.

So I followed the steps. I 1-5. When I open up the chain fire su. It just opens up and does nothing. It's blank. And when I click on binary, it says downloading manifest - failed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
Right after opening the new super user it'll say something like no binery click OK then it'll say normal install or twrp pick twrp and follow the steps this are detailed foil proof steps shouldn't have any problem

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

I think you might have picked normal option which will give an error
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
I un installed the new super user, and installed it again, all I get is (what's new) and nothing else. I waited for a bit to see if anything popped up, but nothing.

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

The thing is... I didn't pick anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
I'll say just re flash the whole rom and then follow the steps that way if something wrong was done it will be negated and you could get it to work also when doing step 3 make sure u pick REINSTALL AND NOT FULL UN ROOT OR CHANGE SUPER USER APPS that's important so re flash the rom doing clean wipe all that good stuff then do the steps and it should work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
Hrmmm. Sounds like a plan. I will redo the whole thing and let's see if that works. Thanks for the help though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] undercover nerd:
guess it worked out for ya grats
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] initialdwiko:
It still did not work. I reinstalled the rom, clean the super su, download the Google play su, and still got nothing after I opened it. Just blank.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] savoritz:
I think you can also flash cf auto root in download mode via Odin. Should fix root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ecksor:
I've been running Beans' NE6 deodexed stock ROM debloated and modified with build.prop tweaks and init.d scripts from tp2215's v.5 - no su or rooting issues whatsoever, so it's not base related. Let's hope tp will find the culprit in the next build. As a temporary solution I can share my version if anyone's desperate. It's not tp's, but still better than stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
I think that the issue seems to be with aroma. Aroma still uses a version of the updater script syntax. It was slightly changed in 4.2 and I believe that is what is causing it. It seems to be a permission issue with the aroma updater script.

Edit: if you follow the directions in the op it has been verified working 100 percent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Make sure you open supersu and click the option that says remove for re instalation from play store. If you don't it doesn't remove the binary. After that it will automatically exit and disappear, then reinstall it.
