Yeah its definitely coming.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Now there's no longer any reason to make a decision.

S5 GPE all the way!

I'll pick up a black wireless charging backplate and call it good :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Ha nice!
[Galaxy S 5 General] seanu13:
Going to return my ATT version and pick up the GPE. Root ftw.

They changed the image back to a gs4
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yep I noticed that also. Could they have been testing the product page?
[Galaxy S 5 General] casonswag:
Does this mean we should be getting aosp on the regular s5's
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
How much cheaper is the GPE compared to the regular one over in the states? If I were to acquire one in Australia, GPE would be significantly cheaper even with shipping because it will probably retail for <$700 on the US play store and the regular S5 here costs $740 at cheapest
[Galaxy S 5 General] lazyn00b:
The full retail price is the same, around $650. The problem (for us) is that there's no way to get a carrier subsidy/financing for the GPe.
[Galaxy S 5 General] robstunner:
Will probably pick this up just for fastboot_oem_unlock and the ability to just flash SuperSU and then flash stock recovery back. I wish there was a stock 9000f ROM for Pete's sake
[Galaxy S 5 General] samven582:
definitely picking up one of these
[Galaxy S 5 General] claud0902:
Another problem is the gpe version does not support LTE in Australia. It is like paying premium for a downgrade...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
Oh true that, yeah, i might as well get the regular one
[Galaxy S 5 General] robstunner:
Then get a used white s5 and flash the ROM that comes out when the s5gpe comes out..

Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play edition briefly teased by Google

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/new...-play-edition-briefly-teased-by-google-516851
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
I hope it will support the S-View cover like the GPE of S4 did.

Also do they release full source when a GPE comes out? If so then why doesn't CM support S-View on the S4?
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
I was just struck by this horrible thought that the S5 GPE will be scrapped in favor of an Alpha GPE... what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S 5 General] miki2o:
I think that the S5 GPE will come out when android L will be released because android l supports natively health sensors (like the heart rate monitor) and will have knox included...

[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
I'd be totally fine with that. That Exynos is a beast.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
I wouldn't. This means I'll have to buy it and I would really like to keep my S5, as I don't like paying extra money for no reason.

And Alpha is pretty much identical with the S5.

Exynos Alpha vs. Exynos S5

Snapdragon Alpha vs. Snapdragon S5

:good:

FYI there are two Alpha's: one is rocking the same 801 chipset as the common S5 and the other Alpha is based on a slightly updated Exynos 5 Octa 5430	as opposed to the S5 SM-G900H Exynos 5 Octa 5422.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eslebecydonia:
Then, if one of the alphas has the same chipset as the 801 S5s, could we flash its ROM on our S% if they end up only releasing an Alpha GPE?
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
See I don't have an S5 so I don't care haha :P

Also, I don't think we ever got a full RUU for the S4. Chances are pretty slim it would happen for the S5 also.

And yeah, I'm aware there are 2 Alpha variants, but you're right they'd probably make the GPE with the S801.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
I hope I'm wrong. What's a RUU?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Its a firmware flashing tool for HTC phones wich allready contains a specific firmware for a specific device. Rom Update Utility.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
Oh. Well afaik the GPE rom for S4 is out there in its completeness. :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
I`d rather have the Nexus X or 6 than a S5 GPE to be honest ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
An RUU is a tool for HTC devices (usually leaked from carriers/manufacturers, almost never released officially) that you use in ADB to flash the stock firmware and ROM to your device in one step.

Using an RUU conversion is the easiest and, well, safest (i.e. least chances of error) way to get your device to an officially released, unaltered build (so you can still receive OTA updates). It can also be done with a locked bootloader.

You often times need to change your MID and CID through fastboot to allow OTA updates once you change versions (i.e. AT&T to Developer Edition or T-Mobile to GPE), as updates will check those identifiers to make sure it's installing itself on the right device.

While simply flashing an RUU is dead simple, changing the MID and CID are where human error can come into play.

So about the S4 GPE, you couldn't get a non-GPE S4 to become a GPE and accept OTA updates (because no RUU/RUU like tool exists as far as we know). However, with the HTC M7 and M8, there have been RUUs leaked for fully converting to the GPE version.

There are other ways to convert to an OTA capable state, but they're quite involved and not always present.

For example, when going back to Sense from a GPE conversion on the M8, there's no RUU available.

You have to first install a custom recovery and have an unlocked bootloader, change your MID and CID to what you want to change to, flash the stock firmware, ADB push a stock Nandroid backup to your device, and restore the backup from that recovery. Then you've gotta flash the radios from your original model. I've done both before, and the RUU is waayyyy easier (although you may still have to flash radios).

Now I don't think anyone's been able to get an S4 GPE conversion done with the second method. There have been GPE ROMs for the regular S4 (they don't include the firmware, so they don't get OTAs), and in my experience have been glitchy and a poor experience compared to the actual GPE (I've had both).
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
Ok but RUU is HTC exclusive, am I right? So there's no point in mentioning it when talking about Samsung devices.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Correct so its pointless iin this discussion. We have Odin for flashing roms.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Exactly, and the lack of anything like an RUU is what impedes our progress in getting any sort of full conversion to GPE on a Samsung device possible.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
But what prevents us from editing cid and mid on our Galaxies manually to get OTA. Also you mention CID&MID and Firmware as reasons for OTA. So which is it? Firmware or CID&MID? AFAIK firmware is just another word for rom.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
We don`t have a S-Off option on samsung devices so we can`t change the phones identity and product code unlike HTC devices with S-Off can.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
In the end an Odin gpe rom should work just fine and ota isn't that big of a deal, really. unless it contains checks for phone id wich if failed activates bugs and lag (like some commercials software tend to do).
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
We should be able to flash the GPE just fine on the G900F, assuming the GPE version has a Qualcomm cpu ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
I don't have as much experience with Samsung as HTC and LG, but the firmware on the Sense and GPE editions of the M8 are definitively different.

For example, your GPE phone won't boot if you flash the firmware for Sense (the firmware, at least on HTC devices, is part of the OTA files that contains ramdisk, kernel, radios, and other things).

From my understanding, the barrier for the Samsung GPE is the kernel. You also don't get S-Off like accessibility, so you can't modify stuff like you can on other phones.

I think that's the case because if you have a true GPE S4, you can't flash TouchWiz or TouchWiz based ROMs unless you change the kernel.

All I know definitely is that there are no full GPE conversions available for the S4, just ROMs. I'm guessing it's the kernel and lack of full control, possibly amongst other things.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
Gee2012 posted above that the problem is that samsung doesn't have s-off and that's why we can't mess with cid and mid. Imo kernel shouldn't be a problem unless it's dependant on cid & mid.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Oh haha I didn't see his post :P

But if Kernel affects running TouchWiz on GPE, I don't see why it wouldn't matter in reverse.
[Galaxy S 5 General] labeeqhussain:
There wont be

Samsung is adamant upon having touchwiz incorporated into everything. I love samsung but I absolutely hate touchwiz
[Galaxy S 5 General] matheus_sc:

Why does everyone hate tw? I love it
[Galaxy S 5 General] matheus_sc:
Because is ugly and dont give same perfomance than aosp roms

What i want to know is why do people buy a samsung then ***** about Touchwiz?
[Galaxy S 5 General] LegendSmoker:
Cause Hardware
[Galaxy S 5 General] -PiLoT-:
Shouldn't they then quit the *****ing and realise its nobody's fault but their own?
[Galaxy S 5 General] LegendSmoker:
Sure they could and I'm pretty sure they will... i think the reason for this are s3 or s4 forums... my personal opinion is that Google should change some things in with android policy and don't allow Samsung to ''convert'' aosp to touchwiz so everybody can remove Samsung ui or features if wishes and have stock Android on it like debloating ... what I mean is there should be an option to kill touchwiz OEM without flashing another firmware. touchwiz itself should be updated like network providers do but if Google do so then Samsung will produce bada Wm and tizen only I think....

[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
I tried cm11 and noted hardly any difference
[Galaxy S 5 General] androidfilesharing:
You used the wrong cm11 rom than.
[Galaxy S 5 General] -PiLoT-:
i think the major point that people dont get is that android was CREATED to be oem skinned etc. it was only ever meant to be a base OS so people could over lay. this is why they taken so long to get AOSP looking more consistant and usable. cause it was never suppoed to be but people want it
[Galaxy S 5 General] f0xy:
Would you buy a computer off dell then only be allowed to use a dell skinned windows?

The only point I can agree on is, why buy the phone knowing it's got TW, this is true, and this is why we depend on the great devs to create aosp roms
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Besides the Nexus Motorola has the cleanest roms and fastest updates. Once the Droid/Moto Maxx lands in the EU this is the one phone i would like to have. Samsung will loose even more costumers if they continue with the too heavy and bulky Touchwizz imo.
[Galaxy S 5 General] -PiLoT-:
If i bought a computer from dell then id know it was skinned. so why not?
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
Really no. I use XtreStoLite with Ktweaker and it's as fast as official nightlies. Full stock wasn't far behind
[Galaxy S 5 General] BROKEN1981:
Ugly is not based on fact. Thats an opinion. I happen to love the ui. Phone seems fast to me. I hated the Motorola devices. They were slow.

[Galaxy S 5 General] CommanderROR:
The only weird thing about the GPE S5 that might or might not come is the image on Android.com that clearly shows a Galaxy S5 running without touchwiz, and with on-screen buttons instead of capacitive. This is still online, and the S5 is placed pretty prominently. Why?
[Galaxy S 5 General] qxps:
That comes from lack of options and excessive frustration. There are no manufacturers, at least in the US (until recently I believe) that will give you a clean phone under contract that won't be plagued with useless bloat. Also, you have to take in count that Android devices suffer from double bloating, by the manufacturer itself and the vending carrier.

From an example somewhere above, the difference between a dell bloated computer and an android running touchwiz, is that windows will always be windows regardless of the bloat, which can be easily removed and the OS services will remain intact, the kernel is untouched and all the processes are Microsoft. Lately, a lot of the bloat from major computer manufacturers is actually an antivirus in trial and two or three apps, a lot of the rest are just link to websites for trials. Samsung android bloat is spread around the entire operating system highly embedded, right down to the kernel and all the other android processes. Bloat is a fact, manifested through image size, ram consumption and average cpu time in a given period.

Although *****ing is unwarranted, unless the person is new to android and didnt know better, the hate or dislike is warranted. A lot of people just buy the phone because the other options available are just as bad or worse than this, or didnt have the same hardware features, so they just wipe it and install something else, forever not liking what the manufacturer and carriers like to push in.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Theshawty:
No, they obviously buy Samsung phoned for the hardware.

I like TW but I like AOSP more. Haven't bothered rooting yet though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Well it is simple, if u buy it and complain about TW knowingly u don't like it then you're an idiot really. There are always similar offering without TW.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
You`re calling me an idiot bro;):silly:. I for one don`t hate TW but out of the box its way to heavy on the phone by the countless features i don`t want/need.

I`am on XtreStoLite and now its realy performing well imo. Did you get a S5 again? Why not the new Moto Droid?
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Hey bro! No ill never call u an idiot hahaha. I'm talking more about those who really keep complaining about it in comments or here on xda then turn around and buy it, makes zero sense to me even if it is the hardware they are looking for. Why complain when you agreed to purchase a touchwiz powered phone?

XtreStoLite has always been my favorite S5 Rom, I bought an S5 and it should be here Monday, it'll be my 3rd one lol. Can't wait.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Nice for you, but are you not interested in the Moto Droid/Maxx, when it lands in the EU i`ll probably get one. But overall the S5 is a very good phone with a good camera, screen and some usefull features.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Prosafe:
Only thing I don't like with current TW is the color selection Samsung selected. So I use a ASOP skin on it lol.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
I think the S6 or M9 will be my next phone after the S5. I was gonna get the nexus 6 on the 29th of October but it sold out in 30 seconds literally. So I gave up plus I know ill get bored with stock android after a little while anyways.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Liar, i don`t see you having the same phone for 3-4 months :p
[Galaxy S 5 General] matheus_sc:
I only buy Samsung Because of hardware, for me tw is a crap, its only usable in xtrestolite rom.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Hahahahha! I know im lying to myself already lmao
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
I know, but all kidding side, I really like the S5 with the XtreStoLite rom. On stock it's not nearly as good.

[Galaxy S 5 General] arktay:
There will be any difference between S5 with future lollipop stock rom and s5 google play edition?

Yes, touchwiz (the interface), and surely the upcoming Lollipop from Samsung will have various Samsung branded apps that will not come with the stock rom of lollipop
[Galaxy S 5 General] digz6666:
Still haven't released, S5 has good hardware but touchwiz is really ugly.
[Galaxy S 5 General] belzebub40k:
I don't think we will ever get a GPE. There are rumors that Samsung will present the S6 in the next days on CES.

I switched to CM12 a few weeks ago and it's way better then TouchWiz and already pretty stable.

Should have made this decision month ago but I was still hoping for a GPE :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] digz6666:
So switching to CM12 means no S-health won't work right? Also its in alpha stage.
[Galaxy S 5 General] belzebub40k:
I don't care about S-Health but yes you wont be able to use it. And yes it is marked as alpha and has a few glitches but for

me it works much better than TW.
[Galaxy S 5 General] digz6666:
If it leaves the alpha stage I will switch to CM 12, hope I can find S-health alternatives.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
Lol "it has a few glitches but works better"?! Ridiculous fanboying detected. Cm is awesome but TW is great too it has alot of handy features. Me I'm on BNL9 lollipop and it's super smooth (no lag like in kitkat) and the ui is much more compelling. Basically it's a matter of priorities and taste. My priority is no glitches. Hence tw lollipop. When cm leaves alpha stage maybe I'll switch too.

As for GPE itt samsung already has at least beta GPE builds just wish they'd leak them already. Especially now when it's becoming clear that S5 GPE won't be happening.
[Galaxy S 5 General] belzebub40k:
The glitches I'm talking about wont effect the most people. As far as I know there are only two:

1. Bluetooth-Streaming isn't working properly.

2. Touchscreen isn't working in some games.

As I don't use Bluetooth-Streaming or any of the effected games I have no real issues and battery life is much better. This does not have anything todo with beeing a fanboy and I don't say TW is completely useless but I don't like it and I don't like how Samsung messed up Lillipop.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
Well I could debate you about #2. Imho most people have at least candycrush or temple runner installed or some kind of game. I agree that samsung didn't put enough work in to Touchwiz Nature Ux. I guess this is version 3.5? Well unfortunately it seems they rushed lollipop implementing only a few superficial changes to tw. The S6 will get the "lollipop" TWNUX version 4. We got lollipop looking like kitkat :D They do this every time, I've been around since 2011 and was hoping they would embrace apple's approach of one ui for all devices. Instead they use software tricks as selling points for new devices. By superficially handicapping updates for previous phones. Oh well. The devices are great and so is the firmware (when it really comes down to it) so I'm not really complaining :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
Not to worry there's always someone who ports the new look, we got note 4 apps and will probs get s6 apps at some point
[Galaxy S 5 General] lingowistico:
It's not as "simple" as that, you have to port the whole ui or rom. Besides my point is that i think Samsung should copy apple's "one ui on all devices" policy just like they've copied everything else down to the home button. :p
[Galaxy S 5 General] aegeuss:
Main reason I have bought this device is Galaxy S4 GPE; I thought the same for S5. I regret my decision now :(

SM-T800 cihazımdan Tapatalk kullanılarak gönderildi
[Galaxy S 5 General] @non4:
Its not that straightforward for Samsung to port either, and not in their marketing strategy, besides they crammed in enough features already. Besides I'd rather do without, the gs3 missed out on KK because the ram simply wasn't enough, I tried the port from the LTE model and it was sloooow after a while. What I would like to see is a new theme, its in the right direction compared to the childish look of older devices but still overuse of color is present. And iOS can easily do this because they have a hand full of phones and a very basic os compared to android, especially Samsung's version of it. Most older phones had a home button of sort, tbh that's one of the reasons I like the s5, they're staying away from onscreen buttons for which devs don't support immersive mode half the time.

At least we have cyanogenmod.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] factor00:
Hello,

I am trying to fix my issue and have done a ton of reading but can't figure out where to go from here. I've had my phone rooted for months and tried to flash a newer custom ROM today and it ended up locking my phone into a boot loop. I was able to get out of it and had to re install a recovery tool (have installed both CWM and TWRP and they work fine). But I can't actually get a ROM back onto my phone because I don't have one on the SD card and I can't get one to it. I just want to put a stock ROM back onto it at this point.

I can't boot into windows to access the SD card because whenever I boot the phone normally it just goes back to boot looping. I have tried ADB push when in recovery to put a ROM on the SD card and I continually get permission denied when I try to do that. I have tried ADB sideloader and I can't get that to work either. How can I go about getting a ROM to my phone so I can flash it via CWM/TWRP?

Fastboot works fine and I can flash recoveries no problem. ADB appear to work but I can't understand why I can't just get push to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NotATreoFan:
If you type "adb devices" from a Command Prompt, do you see your phone listed?

Try powering off your phone, then holding Power+VolDown until you get to HBOOT. From there, enter recovery (TWRP is my preferred). ADB push does not require anything to be done prior to using it, so assuming you can see your phone with "adb devices", proceed like this:

Rename the ROM you want to flash to ROM.zip

Type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/" No quotes

If the ROM is around 1GB, this will take 5-10 minutes.

Once done, use TWRP file manager (under Advanced) to verify the file is there.

Reboot back into recovery and verify it's still there. If it is, install it. If it's not, you will have to RUU back to stock and go through the unlock process again.

No it isn't showing up when I do that while in recovery.
