ss is basically twrp for our locked bootloaders.. if using stock slot with no rom slots we can flash just bout anything for our devices except for custom kernels.. i find more benefit of flashing to stock slot.. no battery pull to reboot etc
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dlscott1111:
Alright, think I'm ready to install on the stock slot. One final piece of info. When you say do a clean wipe, do you mean I do the default wipe of the stock slot? Sorry, learning ss for the first time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
i just do the default.. i dont change n e of the wipe settings
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
For a clean wipe do the normal factory reset swipe and then go in to advanced settings and check the wipe cache, dalvik cache and system wipe. That is a clean wipe, just be careful not to check the wipe ext sd card.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] calishooter:
Noob question. What if you also check "data"? What happens?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdawg0213:
It wipes all your personal data and app data. I think that gets wiped in a factory reset anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] calishooter:
Is that ok to do if i want to start from scratch when i want to install a rom on stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GoBears:
This is exactly what I do every new rom flash even if it's not needed. It always scares the crap out of me how easily it would be to check the microsd box. So like Misterxtc said be very careful to leave that box unchecked!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
yes.. just make sure you have pictures n what u want saved on the external sd and do NOT select ext sd or else you will lose everything including the rom lol. also make sure rom is on external sd and not on internal sd if you doin the full wipe

Ok understood! Thanks guys! ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
Ran this on my note 3, had a chance to get a gs5 for free so running this on my gs5 now. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Glad you like the ROM. I still have some work to do and things have slowed down on my end but I will update a few things soon. I haven't had much time to mess with the ROM lately.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
OK cool. Everything seems to run great as is really.... One thing tho, on the note the had a Verizon voice mail app that had a free 'basic subscription' but on here it wants to charge 2.99...anyway to get one working on the s5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loonie01:
Looks like there is an updated ROM on androidfilehost, RicksROM19_3_NI2_KK_444_DeOdex_Art+.zip. Has anyone tried it out yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I only added Developer Options icon in the settings menu, no more tapping the build number for it to appear. It's not a big deal but go ahead and flash it if you are bored. That is all that is changed. I'm digging for other mods to add but nothing else is really appealing to me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djnikko:
Could you add the modification to allow bootanimation.zip files? This would be amazing now with the release of gif2 animation site.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
That is a kernel mod. Won't work on retail versions with locked bootloaders.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] madhacker7:
Thanks for keeping up with the ROM. Its been stable and great battery for me. Any chance you can include the SBrowser or a flashable zip? I had it in a previous ROM and got used to it. I'm running Art and its been great. Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This works for MP4 video files. I know it's not gif files but it's a start. I'm pretty sure there is one kicking around somewhere.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I think this might work for you as long as you are not using ART.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you are using ART.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] madhacker7:
Thanks for your reply. I have to decide between the superb battery life I've been getting with ART vs going back to SBrowser...battery may win out.

Has anyone been able to get Screen Mirroring to work? I've tried two separate devices(Sony Bravia TV and a Microsoft Wireless display) and both can be seen from my phone but when I attempt to connect it looks like it tries 3-4 times and then fails to connect.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BSAVAG3:
Yea I got get my to work when I teach classes on the phones at work. I've used my Samsung TV as well as belkin mirrorcast
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djf8:
Hmm that is odd. I suppose I could try a clean flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I would help but I have nothing to mirror to. I can say I didn't remove any features that would affect this. All functions should work with the exception of Kids Mode and the bloatware I removed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
@ Misterxtc

Hi , are you planning to add a hardware key remapping feature to your rom !

thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No, I like the keys as they are. There are way too many combinations that can be changed and doing so will only cause headaches for me. I've put about all the mods I want in the ROM so it's going to stay as it is for the most part.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Made another small update mainly to add back call recording. I mistakenly removed it on one of the updates :silly:. I updated 8sms and SuperSU as well. Below is a flashable zip to add call recording back if you don't want to flash the ROM again. I also made the free busybox app uninstallable for those of us that have the pro version.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djf8:
Looks like it wasn't this rom that has mirroring issues. My wife and brother are on stock and they can't mirror on their gs5's to our Sony TV. What is odd is that my friends Note 4 works fine.....you'd think all being TouchWiz it'd be the same but I guess not. Mirroring on a friends samsung tv works fine also btw.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kemerystudios:
Back to Rick's ROM! Good to be back again, and cheers for some great further development!

Happy Modding :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Updated OP again mainly due to the battery drain I was getting from 8sms after their update and I don't care for the ads.

V19.5

Added>>>Updated SuperSU to V2.36

Added>>>Added Verizon Message+ back (can be uninstalled)

Added>>>Added Note 4 Weather (see the screenshots in post 2)

Removed>>>8sms due to battery drain after update​
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] madhacker7:
Any chance you can post a flashable zip of the note 4 weather widget or point me in the right direction?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Here you go, enjoy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] madhacker7:
Thank you kindly good sir.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boman06210:
Thank you! Just came from stock NE9 to this ROM and I love it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancem71:
Does anyone have a Verizon voicemail apk that will work with this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Just follow the instructions here and you will be good. I will put this in the OP because of all the requests for it. I would include it in the ROM but I never use it and it doesn't work right when I make it an uninstallable app.

Edit: Added VVM instructions to post #2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry all but I will not be maintaining this ROM anymore. I traded my S5 in today for a Droid Turbo and will not be supporting the S5 anymore. It's been great here but it's time for me to move on. Take care.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
;(.. Will miss you, thanks for your work here buddy. Appreciate it, take care.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andrewrvincent:
Thank you for all the work on this - it is appreciated.

What did you get for a new phone?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djf8:
Sad day man, I really enjoy using your rom and appreciate all your hard work.

You by no means have to "explain yourself" but do you mind sharing your reasons for changing phones? I'm more curious than anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I went with the Droid Turbo.

My main reason was I'm sick of TouchWiz. Although there is no root for the Turbo yet I'm really enjoying the pure Android OS. Surprisingly I can freeze all the VZW and Motorola bloat except for VVM. The no extSD isn't a issue for me because I got the 64 gig model. The camera takes slightly better pics but I had to go with a different camera app because the Moto camera app stinks. Other than that I'm very happy with the phone so far.

As the ROM goes I finished doing all the mods I wanted and it turned out very stable so I see no need to mess with it anymore. The battery life is great and there are no hiccups. I might be able to update it to Android 5.0 when it comes out as long as root and safestrap still work. My wife and son still have the S5 so I'm not totally without the device. It all depends on how 5.0 pans out. I'll still be around some.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] flyaway718:
I want to drop a line to say Thanks. I enjoyed your ROM very much and you're always quick with assisting us. I too tired of TW, so I am waiting for Nexus 6 to release (rumor says 12/13), but not sure if the 64GB version will be available.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thanks, I considered the N3 but I wouldn't put it past Verizon to lock the bootloader if they get their hands on it. There are external flash drives to plug into the usb port that will substitute for the lack of a extSD.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] shoresteve626:
Enjoy the new device and thanks for all your work on the S5. Although it always sucks to lose people to other devices, you built a solid ROM that doesn't need much support anyway. Many thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] disco1224:
Thank you Misterxtc!! Ive enjoyed your roms since you started the project and appreciate it very much!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
awesome work and im sure well see you around!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] timeToy:
Got a Droid Turbo on Launch day, kept it for a week before returning it, as I got better battery with my S5 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56473349&postcount=87)

Also I was missing Root so much (I just can't do ads anymore...)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
My wife and son still have a S5 so I will most likely try to keep this ROM updated seeing that I have no root on the Turbo and should have the time for it. The mods are done on this ROM so it's finished in that respect.

So far the battery is doing great for me. I mainly got sick of TouchWiz. Honestly there isn't much I would change on the Turbo except remove some bloat instead of disabling it. I rarely surf the web with my phone so the ads are not a issue for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hawk687:
Thanks for everything, Rick. Anyone know how to get 48k sampling rate?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
maybe search the v4a thread? lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
The super high quality driver needs to be installed for this. I believe you will need to uninstall the current driver then you will be prompted to install another.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
hope i can figure it out before u reply but i sent you a pm kind sir lol. im having trouble extracting a tar in rickys rom kitchen.. i tried from tar using parse and ext4 methods and now trying from the image.. i dont want to install linux as i literally just reformatted my pc and installed win7 black edition x64 lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hawk687:
Just did a search through viper thread and reinstalled super high audio, still at 44k. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sent you a PM...

I'm not sure, it sounds like you did everything right for the install. Make sure you selected Viper for the effect on sound settings and try wiping cache and data in the app manager. If not try uninstalling the driver and the app and reinstalling it. Attached is the app I have in the ROM. Reinstall it as a normal app.

View attachment 3050921
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I could be wrong.. But I feel since the answer hasn't been found I could give my 2 cents maybe? As someone who has converted alot of music.. Sampling rate is one of the settings to choose upon conversion and pretty much usually used at 44k. I just converted a song to 48k and copied it to my phone, and it plays 48k, while my others are 44k..I believe the "super high quality" driver is just for support of 48k, not to force everything to 48k. I'll say again I may be wrong but just chiming in.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
sounds right lol. its like downloading movies.. the movie can only be as good as its source.. you cant take a 720p and turn it into a 1080p.. theres also different methods.. but if a song isnt made or recorded at 48k i dont believe itll ever be at 48k.. unless of course he knows theyre 48k for sure and its not working then id look at it more.. theres also other audio mods floating around xda ;)

if I'm running 19.2 can I just flash 19.5 without having to do a clean install?

You can give it a shot, other than removing 8sms you should be OK.

I have g900m running latest update here in mexico still 4.4.2. I wanna flash this rom. But it says that it has to be running stock 4.4.4. So i wonder that only applies for verzion cause of the locked bootloader or i really have to wait for a 4.4..4 update here im the 900m?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It probably won't work well but you can try. Just make a back up first. I'm not sure if you can use this kernel , I'm pretty sure it works with my ROM but I would ask in that forum first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mexiken:
So just a quick question: if the build is made for ART, does that mean I can use Xposed with it???? Thanks.

Yes, just don't enable it in the developers options.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JGoldz75:
I'm having this same problem myself... When you click the check box a privacy message pops up, and when you hit "Ok" it checks for half a second and then automatically unchecks itself, leaving the samsung default as the only option. Any ideas on a fix?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Heck just freeze the keyboards you don't want and then select yours and see if it that works till you find out what's going on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JGoldz75:
A reinstallation of Busybox and a reboot did the trick.

I wouldn't recommend freezing the only keyboard before you've enabled any others. You will be keyboardless.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
It's worked for many before including myself.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Yep, that's exactly what I need to do to keep Swype active. That Samsung keyboard aggressively takes over as default. I just freeze it after getting an install up and running and my main apps (including another keyboard) installed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Updated OP with V19.6. I fixed a minor error with busybox. Now the selecting a 3rd party keyboard error is fixed. I installed Swiftkey and it stayed as default no problem. SuperSU is also updated to V2.40.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jetjaguar:
Running and stable

Hello all,

I was experimenting with a different ROM and it just wasn't quite stable enough on my phone. I installed Rick's ROM 19.6 last weekend and it has been extremely stable. I haven't had any applications force closing or phone rebooting so it appears to be working well.

Thank you for your hard work!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
@ Misterxtc

My download rate is 15 kb per second which is extremely slow and I have downloaded the the 19.5 version then a newer version came out ( 19.6 ) with only two minor updates :

1) Updated SuperSU to V2.40 ( Which I don't care since I can do it manually )

2) Corrected the error when selecting 3rd party keyboards ( this one I do care )

my question please if you can do an add-on for the second option ( 3rd party keyboards fix ) so I don't have to do the whole download again because as I mentioned my download rate is so slow .

thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Just uninstall busybox and reinstall it from the playstore to fix number 2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
thanks alot for the quick response
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Merry Christmas all!! I have a early Christmas present for you, I've updated the ROM to NK2 in V20. Just flash the ROM and then the new NK2 firmware with Odin linked in post 2.

So much for not supporting the ROM anymore...lol. I don't have root on my Note4 so here I am. Enjoy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bigray327:
It boots fine on v20 and NK2. Thanks, and merry Christmas.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tiger505:
Odin to the new NK2, wiped and installed new Rom. Working so far great. 150+ apps seem to all are performing excellent. Been a long time since I've flashed...I've been on Vers 19 for a while.

Thanks and well, another Thanks :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wataytay69:
So glad to have you back!

Quick question. Do we need to wipe system, cache, etc or can we dirty flash if we are currently on v19?

Also the link in post 2, does it contain just the factory kernel or the entire factory NK2 rom? It is named firmware so I'm a little confused. If it's the whole ROM do I need to somehow extract the kernel to flash with ODIN?

Hope you had a merry Christmas!

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It's just the kernel it dose not contain the system information. Do not flash it if you are on a dev edition phone, it will lock your bootloader. Unzip the kernel and flash the tar.md5 in Odin. I would clean flash but that's entirely up to you. I always clean flash to avoid problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TNDroid:
just switched over to the S5 from my Note 3 (thanks Samsung Insight :D ) and the first thing I've done is rooted and loaded this ROM Failed on me once due to my own error, but it's loaded now and running great so far.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TNDroid:
QUick question. S Health doesn't work. I get force closes every time. Anyone have any insight/suggestions? No dirty flash, just one failed attempt at root. I had upgraded to NK2 and had to work around that to get back to root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I don't have a S5 with me at the moment but my wife says hers is working fine. I'm not sure why you had a problem with root because the ROM is pre-rooted. All you needed to do was flash the NK2 firmware from the download section and the ROM if you were rooted with safestrap already.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:
Make sure you still have the Health Service installed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
S health works for me I just updated to NK2 firmware. I would reflash the Rom see if that fix it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TNDroid:
Thanks. When I get off work I'll give it a shot. Root failed the first time due to my error not because of the ROM. I consider myself an advanced novice ??? so mistakes on my part are common.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TNDroid:
and it's resolved! Something in the install didn't go right (I most likely forgot a step). Wiped, reinstalled the ROM, and now everything works as it should. Love the ROM and I'm really digging this S5. The form factor is more pleasing than the Note 3, but I do miss the screen size at times.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aescbrya:
So anyone dirty flash this? That would be nice if you can :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JFam5:
It worked for me. I dirty flashed this over 19.6 without any problems. I did a backup just in case though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hoovnick:

Anyone else getting this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It's only saying BusyBox is already installed. It's not a problem.

OK, it just keeps telling me busy needs to update. This is on 19.6 not your new version. I'll update that tonight or tomorrow.
