Install Instructions

Thank you for this great ROM!

I am currently running other rooted customized NE9 ROM. So below install instructions are correct? Thanks!

Install Instructions

1: Download the ROM and copy it to your external SD card.

2: Do a clean wipe in SafeStrap, your mileage may vary with a dirty wipe.

3: Install the ROM to the STOCK slot

4: Reboot and run setup

5: Enjoy
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes, that is correct. You are already on the NE9 firmware so you're good to go.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
Cool. Thanks

As for the ads, I am normally looking at this forum on my phone with taptalk. No ads...

How do I get the VerizonVisualVoicemail working on this one?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] t3t5u0:
S health issues

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, as I am on a Developer Edition device.

I performed a clean install (FULL WIPE) of the v11 ROM, opened the Samsung S Health application. S Health requires an update, I update and all seems well. Then I try to launch the app and my TouchWiz locks and I get a FC on S Health after about 5 seconds.

My process prior to rom flash was to flash the NE9 modem package via ODIN, since I obviously can't flash the entire NE9 update tar image or firmware package.

Any ideas?

Great ROM!!!

Flash this in SS View attachment 2904309
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zei:
Anyway to get the stock wallpaper
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I haven't had a problem with anything crashing but you can try the stock launcher if you want. Flash this in your recovery. View attachment 2904310 . Here is the 4x5 launcher I included in the ROM if you want that back. View attachment 2904316
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Replace the image in system/wallpaper/default_wallpaper with this one View attachment 2904314 . You will need to unzip it first, it's not flashable.

Any word on getting download booster working?

Can I flash the NE9 firmware while using a NCG rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] XDBNewb:
awesome man, worked like a charm!!! Thank you!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I never use it and will not because it eats my data up. Therefore I have no incentive or interest to get this working anymore. Sorry but that's the way it is.

No you need to upgrade your firmware to NE9 all you need to do is flash the NE9 firmware in Odin and then flash the ROM. There is no need to reset or remove Safestrap. Flash NE9 via Odin, enter SS and install the ROM. You can revert to the NCG firmware and build 8 if you decide you liked that better.

Great, I'm glad it worked out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
why is that the *#06# to get the IMEI number has been disabled on the V8 NCG Rom. how to get it back !!!

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Add this line at the end of your build.prop and reboot, I will add this in the next build.

sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
On a side note if someone comes up with a working mod I will be happy to add it. Other than that I won't mess with it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
Thanks , but it didn't work by just adding the the following line ( sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1 ) to /system/build.prop .

so I googled around about this issue and I got it solved by Changing the contents of /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from OFF to ON ( CAPITALS ) .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Ah, OK. The last time I checked that was on by default. Adding the line to the build.prop worked for me on NE9. As far as I know you can't edit the HiddenMenu file before a ROM is loaded. The ROM and all it's edits are under the /system folder and /efs isn't under /system. Either way I'm glad you got it working. If you haven't found it already here is a good thread for the hidden menu codes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] prenedo:
Is there an easy way to enable call/message block? Like a CSC edit...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Try the one here , it's the 11th one down. Instead of editing feature.xml you will need to edit RicksROM.xml in the csc directory. That is the feature.xml because I xposed proofed it. I never used blocking mode so let me know if it works and I'll put it in the next build if it works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
It's been quiet in here. Dunno if that's a good or a bad thing. ☺
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Syn Ack:
Any idea how this ROM managed to remove the power saving banner from the drop down? I always run power saving mode, the icon is lit up properly and the power savings is working, but the banner isn't taking up needed space in the drop down. I love it!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Nah, just took a break.

Strange, I still have the small "banner" in the notification area with power saver on. I'm was running RicksROM 11.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Syn Ack:
I was running 8 or 9. Before the firmware update.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I just noticed it disappears after a reboot. Cool.....

EDIT, never mind, it just popped up again. I'll have to see what I added back when I have some more time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Syn Ack:
If it's any consolation, the GravityBox Xposed module app is able to get rid of this ongoing persistent notification.

Yes it says it works for for only AOSP but a lot of things also work for other ROMs, such as this.

Download GravityBox for Xposed, reboot.

Turn on power saving button (if not already on).

Go into Statusbar tweaks, then Ongoing notification blocker, and check Settings (should have the battery icon), hit OK. Reboot.

Voila!

Maybe you can include this in the ROM! Saves so much space!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No offense but I don't like or use xposed for any mods. I always run into problems sooner or later.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Syn Ack:
Well I'm not necessarily saying use it on an ongoing basis, just wanted to make you aware that there is already a process out there that does this that you could check out temporarily if you wanted to. Just a thought on possibly improving the rom :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Updated OP with a changelog and V12, enabled blocking mode, enabled hidden menu codes, added back the dark international dialer as per requests. I also added a link to a flashable stock phone and mms for those who do not like the international one in post # 2. Enjoy. When the flashlight mod and download booster gets fixed I will add those as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zanoli99:
Anyone know how to get rid of location consent message?. I know an xposed module gets rid of one but cannot get rid of first one. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I've decided to stop development with this project for the foreseeable future. If I decide to pick it back up I will have the thread reopened. Thanks for your support and understanding.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Thread closed per OP's request. Thanks for your work this far on this [MENTION=5601139]Misterxtc[/MENTION].
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Thread re-opened per OP's request - sounds like there may be some goodness on the way ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thank you and yes indeed, I'm uploading a updated version of Ricks ROM...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OP updated with V14... enjoy.

Let the crackflashing begin :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trehouse:
Dirty flashed over 4.4.4 rom, no problems except for S Health won't run. Had to wipe data on HealthService and it reloaded the program and restored data from saved history and now it's fine.

Otherwise, all else running great!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This is because of the dirty flash. It works fine on a clean one. No big deal but that's why, I hope you like it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Added Lockscreen Torchlight Option (Enable in Settings/Display/Torchlight) thanks [MENTION=2715818]Stavr0s91i[/MENTION] for the mod and [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] for adding mod info. This can also be downloaded in post #2 to add to V14 so you don't have to reload the ROM, just flash the file in SafeStrap if you want the mod. Screen Shots are also there. This dose NOT add the toggle, just enables you to turn it on and off when the screen is locked by holding down the vol up key. It can be enabled or disabled in settings/display/torchlight.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
Running latest version with no issues. Thanks for an amazing rom.

If I want to get rid of Call record, what files do i need to swap out? I tried using the stock InCallUI.apk, to no avail.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It was a simple edit from this thread.. You will need to delete the following line in the feature.xml in the system/csc directory and reboot.

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
Thanks! Didn't realize it was a CSC edit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RiggsDaRuler:
Anyone have any idea why safestrap won't install recovery? Been wanting to install this rom. Im on stock rooted ni2 ota. I've also Uninstalled busy box also..... still no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If you are on a stock rooted NI2 ROM you need busybox installed for SS to install. Other than that you should be good to go.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I just saw your previous post in the other thread. If SS keeps giving you problems Odin back to NCG. Then root, busybox, SS and update SU while on NCG. Then flash whatever ROM you want in SS and Odin the firmware for that ROM. If it's this ROM use the firmware in post 2. Personaly I haven't had a single problem with SS on NI2, I don't use ROM slots either.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RiggsDaRuler:
I just reinstalled busy box and ss installed successfully. Someone told me to Uninstall busy box and that's where I went wrong. Thank you for the help. Im still learning.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Cool, glad it worked out this time. No problem with the help, I'm always trying to learn something new.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] airprohvac1@gmail.com:
Can this be installed on developer edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
Love the ROM thanks! One question I have is how do I get vibration when typing? The option under the sound menu is greyed out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Hmm, that's strange. Mine is selectable. Did you dirty flash or install it on a ROM slot? If so that's the problem. I've been getting in the habbit of resetting the device in the settings menu before installing a ROM on top of factory resetting and advance wiping in SS. That way I can rule out any problems with leftover files conflicting. I'm glad you like the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
Clean flash in the stock slot. I guess it's not a biggie but would be nice.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
I did a clean flash in the stock slot. I guess it's not a biggie but would be nice.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] highdro:
Just wanted to let you know that xposed was not included in the rom. For me at least. Unless I'm just blind lol. I ran your rom on the note 3, good to see you here man.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
Sorry for the 3 replies.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Good to see you here too. As for xposed, no it is not in the ROM. That is entirely up to the user to add. The xposed fix in the description is so you can install xposed without breaking shealth and some other apps. It's just a fix and not the app. I never use xposed but [MENTION=2272100]CKyl22[/MENTION] requested the fix in my stock ROM so I added it in this one.

No problem. As for the keyboard vibrate when tapped being greyed out I can't reproduce that on my end. I looked in settings/sounds and the actual keyboard settings and everything looks good on v15 here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
Figured it out. It's when power saving mode is on, it also disables vibration. Is there a way that you as a dev can change what power saving mode disables?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If I knew smali editing more but I'm way too new at that.. I don't even consider myself a dev, this is just a hobby for me and I like sharing what I learn.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] WhoNeedszzz:
I'm having a weird problem that has occurred on both this ROM and SlymHyde (although reverse). To preface, I use Google Voice and have all calls routed through that. On this when I make a call the number and name is correct. Then when I go into my call history it lists the internal number that is actually used for the call. On SlymHyde it was the opposite. Call history was correct, but when I placed the call it was the internal number. Neither behavior happened until recently. Anyone else experience this? I've done a full wipe to see if there was anything interfering, but problem persists.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] INTELLER3271:
My Google Voice started doing that when I updated to NI2 software.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] m-cat:
Right on. Well at least I'm not driving myself crazy anymore trying to figure it out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Updated OP with a flashable zip in post 2 to add the lockscreen torchlight and flashlight mod to my NI2 stock ROM or V15 and V14. This will add the notification pull down toggle as well. Enjoy and feel free to use it in your own NI2 ROM but you must have extra toggles enabled for it to show up. Thanks [MENTION=4668174]EMSpilot[/MENTION] for the modded pings in the SecSettings and SystemUI
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] slvrbul:
How do you enable extra toggles is that thru exposed !!!

Chief
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No clue. I don't use it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry, I misread your post.. This is how I added them to my ROMs. If you add them like that to your current rom you will need to swipe factory reset for them to show up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Gunthermic:
Glad you got your Flashlight Mod working sir.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction to fix it. You and the crew at [MENTION=4645794]CNexus[/MENTION] thread are awesome.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chic16:
Does this trip the Knox?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No, SafeStrap and the ROM designs prevent that. No worry on any ROMs for the retail devices in this section.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chic16:
Thank you for the fast response. I have been out of this for a few years, trying to catch back up !!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chic16:
I have one more stupid question. Is there a guide to get from 100% stock to this ROM. Without tripping Knox.

So I followed the directions in this thread to get s browser.

[Q] SBrowser

After 4x of trying it keeps crashing everytime. Is there a way to incorporate s browser into the rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/safely-upgrade-root-4-4-4-nha-volte-t2879348

They most likely need to update that browser, it's from a few updates ago. As for including it in the ROM.... no. I only use Chrome and have no need for another browser. Honestly I rarely use my phone for internet browsing... the screen is way too small for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:

It's a bad download, try it again. If you can use your computer to download it and copy it to your extsd. Either way it sounds like a bad download.

Does anyone else use the Verizon visual voicrmail app? The app won't load up after flashing this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It's not included in the ROM.

Here is the one that belongs to NI2. Unzip it, copy it to system/apps and reboot. Do not install it as a regular app. You should be good after that.

First time using any sort of ROM. This ROM is pretty awesome with sound drivers and all bloatware removed. I used Titanium to backup my all apps and selectively re-install what I need. I was struggling after updating NI2 FW because battery drain and freezes.

Volte? HD calling?

Is anyone able to enable Volte / HD calling? This should be under Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks. I'm told that I'm in VZW's system for it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] flyaway718:
Yes, as soon as it's updated in VZ account, I got an email...reboot the phone, the setting is there and checked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aescbrya:
Not just boot loop but I can't even get odin to flash without a fail "security check fail". driving me crazy. I simply installed Rom on system in SS after I made a backup. wiped before and after and BOOM...Boot Loop and no it won't go for option back to SS. Only goes to download mode.

Edit: yes this is retail
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] warriorpluto:
Didnt add download booster?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
That's bizarre, it sounds like more of a hardware issue than software. This isn't the first ROM I have made by a longshot and nothing has been modified that would cause any issues. So I can assure you it's nothing I added to the ROM to cause this. This is essentially a stock ROM with some files deleted. That's crazy but it sounds similar to this persons problem. I know you tried it already but try and flash the files here in Odin. I know they work and are 100% official for the Verizon retail phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No, I don't use it and never will. I'm not too fond on having to use sqlite editor to get the toggles either. If I can't add toggles by decompiling and editing I would rather not do the mod. That's just me I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evomattnc:
I just flashed on Rom slot perfectly fine. I didn't stay because the reboot from Rom slot issue with the current version of ss is annoying but yeah all is well.

The download booster can be turned on through a third party launcher like nova btw.

have you tried vol up home key reboot? ie just a factory reset? I had to do that when my slot 1 killed internal storage

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdawg0213:
First off, thank you for this. Installed flawlessly and running smooth. Just a few issues.

1. Can't update binaries via su app or through ss.

2. TB can't obtain root permissions but exposed was promoted and granted no issues.

3. Also when I do a restart, every time I have to do a battery pull in order to get the ss option.

I checked if I had root using root checker and says device is rooted and upon boot I have the custom boot screen.

Any insight?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You need to update SU thru safestrap. Go here and download the flashable zip. This is a known problem with SU, it is not a problem with the ROM. Hopefully a fix will be made soon. Update SU in SS and TB will work as it should, I use TB too. Second it sounds like you installed my ROM on a ROM slot in SS. This is also a known issue with SS. If you installed this on the stock slot check the MD5 of the ROM to make sure you didn't get a bad download and then do a clean wipe of the phone in SS and reinstall the ROM. I've had zero issues running this on the stock for almost 5 days now. I'm glad you like the ROM, I hope that helps and you can get it to run trouble free as mine is.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Mine is working. When another Verizon phone calls you and has HD enabled it will work. It sounds strange because I'm so used to the non HD but it's much clearer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
I tried finding someone who already had this issue but couldn't find how it was resolved. I wipe and then wipe dalvik, system, and cache and then try to install and it just reboots ss, like when you press 'reload theme' under advanced settings. Any thoughts?

Edit: I'm on stock not rom slot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Bad download? If you havent download it to your computer then copy it to your phone. Check the MD5 before you flash it too. Other than that I'm not sure.
