My buddy was having the freezing problem on the stock OTA. It seems like it might be some sort of kernel panic. All I did that fixed his problem was reflashed the NI2 firmware and then wiped Dalvik. I'm not really sure if that's what definitely fixed it but it did the job Lol. I know on the RAZR if you ever had a kernel issue after flashing, you would just wipe Dalvik and you were good to go. I believe that applies to most devices as long as you know the actual kernel doesn't have any bugs, which the S5's seems to be really good for stock.

An example of battery life for those who are curious.

3hrs 28min Screen on time, moderate use

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xxnirvana69xx:
I wish mine would do that, the Android System is always more than the screen even at 4 hours of SOT.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
It all depends on what services you've got running such as accounts/location/etc.. Right now I don't have my exchange account setup, otherwise it'd be a bit lower. Install Wake lock detector and see what's using the most battery.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xxnirvana69xx:
Yeah I've just installed better battery stats to see what's going on. Hell I don't even have sync turned on and it's doing it lol. This s5 has way more stuff going on than my nexus 4 did services wise and such.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MadManX:
I've been having random hangs that if I wait awhile (about a minute) the system starts responding... Or it just reboots on its own. I've been playing with some Xposed modules on and off though... So I can't point a finger at what the cause is, and I don't know enough to dig though logs yet.

Other than the random reboots I'm having... The performance overall seems much more responsive. Battery life, ehh... I can't tell, but I'm also a heavy user. The system still uses more batter than my screen. Which disapoints me over my last phone (Moto DROID RAZR Maxx with 40hrs+ average run time).

A bit lower like this? I'm also having to manually sync the email. I'm going to work with it when I have time later to see if I can get it working correctly. Might need to reflash.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I'd say that's a bit out of the norm. I've never had exchange that high.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] l4nc3r:
:P I know, I've never had it that high either. What I feel is happening is Exchange Service is listening, but is stuck trying to process something. I have to manually sync email even though it should be Pushed to my device. I'll reply with some information if I'm able to fix it. Just thought it was interesting I was looking for this and found your quote. :D

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Hmm. I setup my exchange account around 4pm and charged my phone a bit around 4:30 Between 5pm and 7:30, Exchange Services registered about 15000 wakes. A bit disturbing... I know it has nothing to do with any apps I removed. I did a little google search and there are a few threads about people reporting similar wakelocks with exchange services since September. A few stated deleting and readding the account solved their problem.

Since I started writing this post, it registered about 400+ wakes. I'm gonna try a few things and get back to you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] droid_freak:
Super happy with this. Great battery and super stable. Thanks for the great work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
For those having battery drain issues and using Exchange Services:

Follow these instructions and your device should stabilize.

1. Remove the Exchange account from your device.

2. Clear data / wipe cache for Exchange Services from Application Management.

3. Reboot your phone

4. If applicable, logon to the outlook web app (webmail interface for exchange) and remove your device. Contact your local support tech if you need further help on that.

5. Reconfig your account on your device and let it sync undisturbed for however long.

This fixed my massive exchange battery drain. Hope it helps someone else :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] l4nc3r:
You rock man! I haven't had a chance to look into it since I removed the account(actually nice not having emails come to me lol) but I'll go about resetting it up later! Let you know how it goes!

Having 2 issues... systemui and some library issues

Hey guys... having two issues with this Rom (Or at least I think it's rom related)...

And hoping that you guys can help me figure out what causing it so it can be fixed..

I get a process stopped (com.android.systemui) when i place a call (happens as soon as CALL is pressed)

and I get Unable to load library: Problem during installation! Please uninstall then install again the application (In re-reading this, im actually thinking it might not be rom related, but something else... is there a way to figure out which app?)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I can guarantee you its not the ROM. Need more onfo: Are you using exposed? Any other MODs? Clean or dirty flashed from previous build? ART?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
Off topic, want sure where to ask but justcurious if you guys know if anyone is currently developing any new ROMS at the moment?

Justwondering
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Only xposed module I'm using is Wanam to get rid of the soft nav bar. Not using ART. Clean flash to my stock slot. No other mods at this time. Using nova launcher prime. The systemui crash on a phone call happens as soon as call is pressed but call happens normally.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
Did you enable heads up notifications in Wanam?

EDIT: Also, you shouldn't have to hide the soft nav bar, it shouldn't be there unless you explicitly enabled it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Actually, correction... I think the soft nav was on another rom ( acheron)... I used Wanam for the long press back to kill... anyway, yes I had heads up enabled...buy disabled it with still the same results...

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Ok... I think disabling heads up fixed the systemui crash... (not happening now)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
If you want heads up notifications use the standalone module and blacklist phone related things.

Also, killing apps is really bad practice, and really should be avoided at all costs. You don't know what apps do in their onExit or onClose methods, but it's often writing to a database and general clean up. Force killing apps is pretty much guaranteeing trouble eventually. There's really no reason you should need to do so on a phone this powerful. It's much safer to greenify or crystallize an app (although that's not without risks either.) You may be well aware of this, I'm mostly putting it out there as a PSA.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Does swiping away from recents to exit work the same as force killing with something such as "Long press back to kill"? Also, what is the best option to deal with apps that continue to drain resources until closed? For example, I use Rocket Player and Yahoo Weather daily. Both apps continue registering wakelocks and network use when I open them until I force kill the app. Is there a better way to deal with apps such as those, or do they eventually deal with themselves? I've always thought that being able to kill apps when done did nothing other than save your battery and cut down unnecessary data usage, if that's not the case I'd definitely like to know so I can change it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
No, it does not. The activity lifecycle for an app is described here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle

Typically, as soon as you go to another app, or open recents, the onPause method is called. Then when you swipe it away, the onStop method is called. A few moments later Android will garbage collect and run the onDestroy method. The exact timing of these events depends on available system resources, etc. but essentially there are three blocks of code that run any time you close an app, which could have any amount of code and subroutines. As I said, these methods are usually used for saving the app state, syncing between states or user setting, and general app cleanup. When you forcibly kill an app using any method (long press, task killer, etc.) you're essentially causing the app to cease everything immediately, and the onPause, onStop, and onDestroy will not run. Depending on the app this may not cause any issues, but with some it certainly will and if you use that as general practice you will definitely have issues eventually, whether you realize it or not.

If an app has registered a wakelock it means that it can keep the device awake to do some task even when it's not in the foreground. This has to be explicitly programmed into the app and a non-malicious app won't do this for no reason, so it's not just something random it's for a specific reason. Typically it's for background syncing. For example, something like a social networking app will do so to check for updates so it can provide you notifications. Something like Yahoo Weather does it so that it can keep weather up to date based on how often it syncs (i.e. every 30 minutes, hour, etc.) but also for things like severe weather alerts. If you don't care about these things then there are a few methods to interrupt these wakelocks without preventing onPause, onStop, and onDestroy from being called when the app closes. The two I have used are Greenify and 3c Toolbox's Crystalize. They both basically wait for an app to be closed properly and the screen to turn off, then shortly later it stops the app from running in the background. The main difference between the two is that Greenify is a bit less aggressive - it still allows apps to receive push messages, sync widgets, etc. whereas crystalize stops all traces of the app when the screen turns off.

Basically, the only acceptable reason to forcibly close an app would be if it's frozen, and even then I would just reboot my device.

how can i go back to the stock rom from this?

I backed it up in safe strap. I assume the way back is

safe strap flash original rom

reboot

install G900V_NE9_Stock_Kernel

and reboot?

Tried this and its locking up on the samsung splash screen

[MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION] thanks for this rom, it's pretty epic. Especially with ktoonsez kernel. So smooth and stable, good battery life, debloated perfect amount without lynching some features, etc. Keep up the good work bud.

Where can I find ktoonsez kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I was under the impression that on Verizon devices you could not use a custom kernel due to locked bootloader... I imagine he's using this rom on another carrier's S5 device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I'm assuming so also.. considering the ktoonsez kernel in the original dev subforum hasn't been updated since the NI2 firmware. I actually just compiled the NI2 kernel and going to repackage for the deved guys to see if it works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mmw68666:

Having issues installing this rom on my dev edition s5. After installing i hit reboot , phone reboots and and stays on bootloader screen with the unlock custom symbol. Im using twrp to install roms . Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
You're right :p SM-G900R6. It and other LTE devices are supplied by Verizon to small rural carriers under Verizons lra rural LTE program. Basically an unlocked cdma phone. (seems to have identical hardware, also this phone I can confirm working with Verizon sim perfect, same LTE bands and all) Everything works perfectly so all I gotta do is change the apn. Just have an unlocked bootloader. Doesn't make sense as to why they would lock their own but not the ones they supply to their partner carriers. Sorry you guys are locked, this rom is top notch with ktoonsez. Maybe Verizon will change their stance some day.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I was going to echo BigBot96's sentiments, but come to think of it I suppose I'd be optimistic too if I had an unlocked bootloader, lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trueagle:
I'll test the kernel on dev. I'm using ktoonsez now with ni2
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Then do I even need to compile the kernel if there's now a working one for NI2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
ktoonsez has always worked with NHA and NI2, but it's based on older sources (the VZW one hasn't been updates since 8/10). I've been getting random lockups that I didn't have on NE9, with the same kernel settings. It seems like kernel panic but I haven't been able to actually cause it to happen nor have I had the time to look at the last_kmsg or other logs. I would definitely like to test a kernel compiled from NI2 sources for us dev edition users because I have a strong suspicion it will eliminate this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trueagle:
I have the 9/21/14 tw. It is good no issues but I'd love to have one compiled from new source. I cannot do it due to comp limitations and lack of funds to upgrade.

Strange, I had the same issue with the 8/10 VZW and the 9/21 international one. Completely clean install too, and I don't have any different apps or made then before. Perhaps I'll have to invest some time in trying to look through the logs. It's a pain though because I can't trigger it, I just have to wait for it to happen at a time I can look into it.

I'm still getting the Samsung policy updates pop up. Did you not remove this initially?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nsane457:
From Xposed FAQ / Known issues:

Symptom:

You want to use Xposed and ART. However, as soon as you install Xposed, the runtime is reverted back to Dalvik.

Background:

There is no Xposed support for ART (yet), therefore Xposed automatically reverts the runtime to Dalvik. You can be glad that I implemented this, otherwise you would end up in a bootloop. It's a completely different architecture with pretty much no documentation. Rewriting Xposed for the ART runtime requires understanding the concept, the code structure and many details to know how it works. I have already spent dozens of hours on that and some things are working. But still it's a long way ahead. Don't expect even a test version in the near future. So please don't ask when it will be available - you will surely know when it is ready. I have nothing else to say about that.

Update: ART might be become the default runtime environment in the next Android version. You can read my thoughts about this here.

Solution:

Wait until I add support, read the posts I linked to and don't waste my time by asking questions about it.
