[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Dont delete the (system) launcher and this wont happen. There is an issue with UPS though anyway. I dont think it likes this method of root. Others will be able to boot but if you go deleting system files without a method of getting them back (Restore thread) you will have issues. UPS does work but is looking different, acting different, and Im not messing with it. Plus with root, you can make you batter last long anyway. Just maybe not 6 days on 5% lol............OP good luck man, there will be a solution soon. Did you try Kies 3? I did that today trying to fix google not letting me sign in.

EDIT: Ultra Power Saving mode works just fine with root, xposed, etc. I just did it and it is not weird anymore now that I restored my phone. As long as you dont freeze or un-install the system Launcher, Keyboard, and other apps needed for UPS to work, you will be fine. It works perfectly now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] VashTS:
Wow guess I got lucky!

When I first rooted (minutes after release lol) I had low battery so I went ultra power save. When I came back, I lost all my icons on my home screens. I use the google now launcher and I have rebooted since and have not bricked.

My phone says custom and has a unlock symbol when I reboot, I assume it has detected the root status and tripped knox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
I turned on emergency mode, PS mode, UPS mode. All work fine on mine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Not me. I had the custom lock after I fully unrooted with Supersu. I did a restore with Kies 3 and started over. The lock icon at boot up was still there. So I rooted with towel and extracted updated SU and installed the apk.. Rebooted and the icon was gone. I froze the att apps and updates as well as all knox apps and S health stuff etc....If you delete the LAUNCHER system app and use Ultra Power Save mode, this might happen. BRICK

So pretty much its Xposed Module conflicting with Ultra power save mode as rhcp and I suspected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
Updated OP with cause of the issue, hopefully everyone will be careful and not uninstall that Launcher app anymore. If you already uninstalled it and need it back, PM me for a download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dcd17:
Running xposed with wanum, greenify, and location consent modules and can confirm that ups mode is working for me. I DO NOT have launcher frozen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
Add Samsung keyboard too to the list of non deletables.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davew41:
Not xposed at all what I have found is it is in fact the launcher. I Uninstalled a load of stuff 3 different times today. And could not crash it I then Uninstalled the launcher and went to ultra power saving mode. She **** the bed. Back into download mode, reloaded the phone,

Booted back up redid root etc etc. Went in and only took out the launcher tried ultra Power saving and it ****.

I'm back up again xposed, gravity box, YouTube ad blocker, all the AT&T **** is gone shealth is gone Google music, newsstand, movies, Google games, all wiped.

Ultra power save mode works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjranucci:
No, you are wrong. I have Xposed and UPS is working fine. It is due to people freezing or removing the stock launcher that UPS relies on.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

This has nothing to do with an issue with Ultra Power Saving mode. This is an issue with the Google Now launcher. It is not meant to work with the GS5. As a result when you reboot, all of your icons get messed up. Particularly the icons for apps saved to SD disappear. Try to reboot without UPS and you will see. This is the reason I had to go back to the stock launcher. I was tired of resetting up my homescreen every time I rebooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tabascoz28:
Can someone please put down the exact name of the launcher so we don't make a mistake in the future. Is this the google now launcher or touchwiz... Thank you for all those who salvaged my confidence in the 700 bucks I spent for this S5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
Launcher

Touchwiz Home

Touchwiz Easy Home

Samsung Keyboard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MrWhite1127:
Its like using safe mode on a PC. If you delete the core system files need to operate, in this case the keyboard and launcher..the system has nothing to boot off of because the files are missing so it causes it to hang. Cmon people it should be common knowledge. You don't go deleting random system files from your C:// drive and then complain about how your computer doesn't start do you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
To my knowledge, you can freeze them, but do NOT delete them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
I wouldn't freeze the Launcher, Keyboard, or any other apps used for UPS. You will have problems. Even soft brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tabascoz28:
diablo,

I can't seem to find a service just called launcher. I have the ATT version but using stock touchwiz. I don't think I did any deleting, is launcher on the A version or does it go by a different name? I have the other files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] VashTS:
well that is false. ive been using the google now launcher since i bought the phone about 2 months ago and havent had that issue.

i rooted - turned on UPS - turned off UPS - all icons gone. no reboot at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
Just ignore that then. Shouldn't matter, if its not there. Could be a case of this being custom ROM specific file too, since I am on TMo S5 with a TMo ROM on it. Too lazy to turn on my AT&T S5 to cross check :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cjranucci:
I have had the opposite experience. Maybe there is a new version of Google Now launcher?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
You are right. Many people had issue with GN launcher installed too. Keeping touch wiz launcher is (was) the only way too keep UPS mode working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
I think part of the problem was that "Launcher" and Samsung Keyboard were initially on the "Safe to Freeze" list (they've since been removed from that list). People got all excited about getting root access and went on a freezing spree and stuff like this happens. Not a bad thing necessarily, at least we learn what the limits are.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
There is a difference between "freeze" and "delete". People tend to delete than freeze most of the time, based on experience on past phones. So people who deleted these, instead of freezing, faced this issue.

Safe mode does not allow freezing. So even if you freezed launcher or samsung keyboard, it would simply use them in UPS mode with no issues since the apps are still present in the file system where they should be.

Maybe someone could give this a try and let us all. But whoever tries would need to be prepared to reset the phone to factory, in case it acts up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
I stand corrected.. I thought originally that someone had stated they did not freeze or remove the stock tw launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] vxkillswitchxv37:
So I unrooted using superuser because I was afraid of the ups mode brick. Can I just root using towel root ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordnykon21:
I don't freeze or delete apps, never was my thing. So, if I haven't done any freezing or deleting, can I still run UPS mode? I really like using it, just haven't tried it since I rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
The title of this thread should really be changed, root, by itself, doesn't break your phone. It's the apps that you install or things you delete and/or freeze that cause these issues.

Towelroot is just the mechanism to gain root access to your phone, SuperUser manages what apps get access to "root." If it wasn't there, anything (even bad apps) can get root access unrestricted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Drping11:
Yeah i was kinda confused as well. I thought using Towel Root itself would mess up my phone (ie..UPS Mode) will brick my phone but what you guys are saying is that it wont unless i start freezing/deleting apps???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tabascoz28:
The title was changed already. At first it didn't even have the warning part and I was like WHAT? It's done a good job of tracking everyone's experiments with deleting files they shouldn't. There's another thread that tells you how to go back to bone stock.

Maybe now it should read: Warning! Towelroot: Deleting system files could softbrick phone after U Power Save.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MrWhite1127:
Perfectly said sir.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
Have you seen this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

It apparently allows you to delete the apps, tells u what's safe and what's not safe to remove and has a recycling bin to bring apps you delete back? I don't know what it exactly does but so far so with this app - I just deleted anything that says "AT&T ..." and Lookout

I've used UPS and had the phone go fully down/off and plugged it in and it restarted ok. (just tried it once, but now nervous reading this thread). NO xposed here and didn't delete any launcher apk so I'm good i think.

Then flash firmware.4.20.980.1.zip in RUU mode..

From bootloader mode, do a factory reset, then flash custom rom.

I have a Swisscom branded QTEK S200 atm running Dopod, but actually I'd like to install this:

GER_RUU_Prophet_215742_2157131_023021_QTEK.exe

But I get the Vendor ID Error and I didnt find a usefull way to trick it, should it be possible to install the ROM above?

Wheres the right Howto to remove that Vendor ID problem?

How can I edit the registry, can I just connect with my regedit.exe on my computer to my qtek?

As far as i understand the previous threads:

-Download the mentioned Rom with the NoVendorID Update Utility.

- then take your Rom you want to flash on your unit

- Proceed as described in the threads

Check www.phm.lu for a Registry editor on your device

You could upload to www.rapidshare.de ,then i would also try to upload to the ftp

do I have to replace that nk.nbf? (extract it somehow from the exe installer I have?) or do I have to flash it twice?

2) with my Qtek rom

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Some SoCs and displays do not work well with downscaling, but seems worth a shot to take some of the load off the G3's GPU and should result in better battery life and a lot less heat, throttling of chipset and display. Local video playback barely leverages the GPU, so if folks are using that to measure battery life, that only works if that is the main use for the device. Apps (games in particular) and web content will leverage the GPU.

Catch would be how well the G3 display scales to 1080p. Will it look like a native 1080p display, or something funky?

I find 1080p on a 27" monitor to look good and the Note 3 5.7" display to look amazing. Seems IF the G3 can be used at a 1080p "native' res, performance should jump up big time- and STILL look great.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladiator1105:
that's exactly what i thought and i posted same question on other theard, i hope it can be done so the batterylife be at least near g2/s5/z2/m8
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
All depends on the 801 and the display. IF the 801 treats the display as native 1080p and the display simply looks like a native 1080p (no image issues), it should be a huge improvement for anything that leverages the GPU. The display still is lighting all the pixels, but the GPU would have a big load removed- IF again the 801 "sees" the display as 1080p after setting to 1080p.

Looking forward to tests, or I will test myself- if the Verizon version can be rooted easily.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenban:
I have tried to change the resolution to 1080p with the app NOMone resolution changer but the UI is not shown well. It seems the G3 UI is designed to works in QHD resolution and the icons, widgets, etc are not shown correctly in a lower resolution. I attach an example.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms.flynn:
From my understanding this does not change the native display which is shown on the screen but merely scales everything to a lower dpi. You are still pushing the same number of pixels.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Changing the DPI is not the same as changing the resolution. You're merely assigning a different number of pixels per UI element.

Interesting.. I never knew resolution could be changed. Besides changing the resolution, did you change the DPI? It needs to be changed proportionally in order for everything to be in place.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi311:
Someone should try the terminal way of changed resolution ( xrandr -s 1024x768 <---- resolution ). It doesn't even have to be with this device try it with another device with root and see if it does anything
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenban:
Well, in this application the dpi is changed too. Even you can choose the resolution and dpi from other smartphone. For example I tried with the S4 resolution: 1920x1080 and 434 dpi (more or less). And it happend what you can see in the screenshot I posted.

The application is safe because when you choose a resolution it does the same than a PC; in 10 seconds it goes back to the original resolution if you don't click the confirmation button for the new one. If anyone want to try it, you can maybe find any resolution that works well, but I think it can't be done as the UI of the G3 is optimized to works in QHD resolution.
