I used Safestrap to flash

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

I have also clean flashed and dirty flashed. Doesn't make a difference. Google calendar keeps waking up my phone
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xbiker321:
I performed a clean install of 15-3 and then a clean install of 15-4 on my girlfriends phone and I noticed the battery drops pretty fast as well on both setups. My Nexus 5 will last 2+ days with light to moderate use.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Indyultra:
Maybe I'll try dirty flashing the full file and see if that takes care of it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tomcat2737:
Not sure why this is using so much battery. Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
18 hours and still over 50%. That's pretty good battery.

Guys sorry to sound silly here, but where is this mystery " *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5" file that is supposed to be on the main screen? I can't find it anywhere.

Bigbot

Thank you again for more upgrades bro. You really are working hard on this amazing ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
I unplug my SG5 at 6 am and when I plug it in at 10 p.m. I'm usually at 35-45%. Looks like you're doing good.

Edit: I have everything on all the time (except NFC) BT, WiFi, and GPS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If you actually read the OP in its entirety, you would have seen it. Look under downloads......... hint: it says no bootloader in its filename.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Indyultra:
Big, I've flashed the 15-4 update zip twice now, still says under settings/build 15-3. Is there any other way to see if it took. Using SS to flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Indyultra:
Went and dirty flashed the full 15-5 over the 15-3, everything good now
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ejc1214:
Didn't wipe your phone at all? Did you wipe Cache? I just did the patch 0ver 15-4 but was thinking about just flashing full ROM 15-5 over what I got.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
The full romzip does not wipe data, but it does wipe system and cache.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] briansnj:
Just had to say thanks! So far, I am loving this ROM for my Verizon S5. Very hard to find good ROMs for this particular model.

Any chance of a version or option to REMOVE Verizon's Visual Voicemail? If not, any way to edit the locked down #1 button speed dial?

I am with TING (Sprint MVNO) and not being able to edit the built in Verizon speed dial for voicemail interferes with me getting notifications. It seems that if that Verizon 'gunk' is removed, it resolves the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Just use a root browser sich as Root Explorer of ES File Manager and go to /system/app and delete VisualVoiceMail
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mad.Matt:
Anyone having issues with downloading the deodexed 15.5? I have tried multiple mirrors and only get about 400Mb before it drops out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
AFH may be having issues, try again later.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Indyultra:
Nope, just flashed it over top of 15-3
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] briansnj:
I just tried that now and it says it cannot be deleted. I tried ROM TOOLBOX PRO and that did it.

Now the problem is I still cannot edit or change the #1 slot speed dial. I can use it, and it dials Verizon and says I don't have an account...obviously because I am with TING. lol

Any way to manually edit that or hack it and change it? That is the real problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
You can assign any number to speed dial #1 - Open phone -> 3 little dots upper right hand -> settings -> call-> scroll down and select voice mail settings - In voice mail number put in any phone number you like.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] briansnj:
No. You can only do that if you are a Verizon customer or have a Verizon SIM card. I do not. I am with TING. I have seen this all over many forums. People begging for a solution to change the speed dial entry when not a VZW customer. I know it doesn't work for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] corporal_hades:
I was running 15.2 & just updated to 15.5 but still having an issue with Wi-Fi where at some point it stops working and I have to reboot the phone to get it back working again. Any idea what the problem might be?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jaggyjagz:
Hey guys. I screwed up. I had this rom working but then used Titanium backup to try and freeze as much Verizon stuff as possible. That part was fine. But now I tried to factory reset phone without restoring those Titanium items. The phone hangs on the Samsung screen and after a few tries it started saying something to the effect of "process system unavailable" (forget the exact message). Now it goes into the setup screen and spends 20 minutes saying "Please wait while your phone is being configured".

I don't think it is doing either. Can I reflash the Optimal Image somehow? If not, should I Odin back to The G900VVRU1ANCG stock? How can I reflash the Optimal Rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Sounds like Odin back to stock is your best option. Do you have any backups?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If you can get into download mode for Odin. Flash a kitkat kernel to get back into SS. Then either restore your backup, or dirty flash the rom again, and you should be fine. However, if you used FF, then you'll need to go back to NCG and start over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Hold the power button for about 30 seconds until it powers off, then press power, home and vol down to get to download mode.

I guess the other question.. If I upgrade her and restore data from a different rom, will that work?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Question, I'm going to install the latest release (Coming from a different ROM). My personal KEY features are flashlight toggle, HotSpot and to have the best battery life.

Odexed or Deodexed???

I noticed the Deodexed specifically said flashlight toggle and Odexed did not. Can you not have it on Odexed? Deal breaker for me. THANKS for any feedback!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tomcat2737:
I have only run the Deodexed and the battery life is amazing. I have been averaging 2 days on one charge. It's very smooth and fast. I installed a flashlight app from the playstore and am very happy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I'm on 15-2 myself, and am actually afraid to flash a newer ROM on the risk of messing up my battery life. I'm getting well north of 36 hours on a single charge now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tomcat2737:
I've flashed 15-4 and have no issues. Love this Rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mike2246:
Been using 15.4 and now 15.5 and whenever I try and replay to an email (corporate) stock email app. it crashes and says unfortunately email has stopped. I just did a factory data reset and still have same problem.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
** Edit: nevermind
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whizzinxda:
lost root =(

First of all I want to thank the devs for this rom.

I wanted to add my credit card to android pay so I disabled supersu and added the card. I reactivated it but lost root. Can't install busybox or titanium or safestrap. I checked root status with root checker and it says Root access is not properly installed on this devic. Is there anything I can do to get root back? Bootloader is at OG5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Been running 15-5 for about a week now and it has been GREAT!!! Havn't seen any issues thus far. Great work!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
[MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION] Thank you for such a ridiculously stable ROM!! Now on 15-5 after a few weeks of stable 15-2, and loving it even more. The total POS app I need for work even sips battery on here. With stock I could literally watch the percentage count down when it was running.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] briansnj:
[MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION]

I've been running 15-5 for over 2 weeks now and I am loving it. Not a single problem and I love the flashlight toggle! So stable and smooth! It's just freaking awesome IMO.

Please, please, please tell me you will do a Marshmallow version?! LOL

Anyone experiencing "insufficient storage" when updating/installing apps? I've plenty of space and I've even uninstalled several of the large games I typically keep installed?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bmilcsx:
Can't wait to return to OptimalRom.

I was using the OC4 version and decided to see what else is out there. Got lazy and stuck with a Kit Kat rom.

Anyways, has anyone done a debloat on the current 15-5 version prior to installation? If so, what do you recommend? I like minimal stock stuff.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chopstix9:
I want to make sure I am clear on installing this ... I am currently on a clean rooted NCG install, I have not installed SS yet but that's fine if you recommend I go that route. I had it successfully installed in the early days when S5 shipped with NCG, I feel safe putting SS on the phone.

The part I want clarity on is *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 ... It is mentioned in the instructions but I can't find a link to it? I am assuming I'd be looking for NCG_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5? Where do I turn for this or should I upgrade to a later build before proceeding and still, where can the *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 files be found?

I have the OD5 bootloader and Optimal 15 5 Deodexed downloaded. Where to next?

Thanks in Advance for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If you look down near the end of the OP you will find the download links. If your going to use SS, which I recommend, after you do a full wipe, and install the rom, then go into Odin download mode and flash the OD5 bootloader, and then the OG5 firmware. Then reboot, and you should be on your way. You can still downgrade back to NCG at any time with the OD5 bootloader. I've had to do it several times myself :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
Does this rom have an option for button remapping?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bmilcsx:
Fantastic work! I'm on OptimalRom for good =)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
two quick questions:

is a CPU governing application like SetCPU worth using for this ROM or is there one built in behind the scenes already & it'd be counter-productive?

I followed the instructions in OP flashing 15-5 deodexed followed by OG5 firmware - seems like ROM works fine but it's saying my Baseband is still OC4 from the last version of Optimal I had running. did I do something wrong at first glance? (was coming from the first Android 5.0 release of Optimal, I forget version number x.x) I don't understand because in Titanium Backup, many of the red services/apps like com.qualcomm etc, com.samsung etc end in OG5 titles - including certificate installer, calendar storage etc. I really have no idea.

I see that a previous poster said, "then go into Odin download mode and flash the OD5 bootloader, and then the OG5 firmware. Then reboot, and you should be on your way." But that's not in the OP guide. Recommended?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If you were coming from KitKat, then flash the bootloader, if already on LP, then just flash the firmware. If you have the right firmware, your baseband should say OG5. Maybe re-download it again and try again :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
In the latter case, would I just run NI2 flasher, let that flash that kernel, go to SS, flash the OG5 one, (still need to do toggles too), and then reboot? Would it mess with the ROM somehow?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Nope, that won't mess you up at all :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Yes, but after you flash the ROM, you need to flash the OG5 SS flashable kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
That's what I did the first run/what I said in first post. That's why I'm confused. Baseband says OC4 but in Titanium many of my system apps end in titles that say OG5, so it seems something isn't right. I'll just try flashing the kernel again for now. Thanks for the help so far!

Anyone have experience with the CPU governors in cases like this? I have heard on diff phones/ROMs I've run that it's counterproductive to use something like SetCPU.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killdawabbit:
I came from 15-3 to 15-5 rendered and my Google play store always say no connection retry... How can I correct this...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Try clearing the app data and cache in the applications manager. If that doesn't work, then try uninstalling, and re-install it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Running NI2 & flashing OG5 kernel SS-flashable didn't change my situation. So weird, it seems like it partially worked because of what I mentioned in Titanium, but maybe not? Should I just not care? Service works for me - any big benefit to switching to newest baseband?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Did you do the four wipes in SS (everything except SD card)? Back up your data with FF first. When you're all done, use FF and restore data only. It's what I do for any update.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killdawabbit:
Now I am getting this isn't a Verizon some card message every now and then too on a reboot... The Google play store issue isn't resolved with clearing cache and data.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
I would just do a full wipe, and start all over again bruh. Your having too many issues! :-\
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A San:
If I want to try this ROM with Flashfire, how to do it. Is it the same methode with the Stock ROM :

1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).

2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.

3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.

4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.

5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to *"Download."

6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the **flash.

I am now in OG5 and bootloader OD5 Rooted.

The reason is I want to have a better battery life.

Does this affect the Warranty KNOX?

Does this need a full wipe for I've already on OG5 Stock ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Slalom Frog:
How can I verify that I am using the correct kernel? I flashed G900V_OG5_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip. However when I check in "about phone", I am not able to verify that it is the correct kernel. Sorry for what may be a simple question, I have done much searching and reading but I have not be able to determine with certainty that I am setup as it should be. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o-o:
I'm currently on 4.4.2 NE9. Where do I download *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5? Or do I use OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5? And what would be the process to return to NE9?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
I just did factory reset and flashed everything again. With fully clean slate, in About Phone it still says OC4. What could possibly be wrong : *( don't want to spend hours reconfiguring phone again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
That's why you back up using FF and restore data when your done. Everything is EXACTLY the same, home screen, passwords, apps, everything. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes start to finish. I think if you do the advanced wipes in SS, everything except SD card. Itwill show the correct build. Unless you have a corrupt download.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Did a full titanium backup but will just restore communications backups/launcher stuff probably, so will meet somewhere halfway in the end. As a last ditch effort, I will re-download the file and put it on my phone and try again using advanced wipe and what you just said. There's no reason I would need to incrementally update firmwares in order right? Should be able to just flash rom, flash fw, flash toggles, big bang boom?

Thanks for your help btw
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Yes just flash OG5 kernel in SS. Don't need to do any of the others. I've had trouble with TiBu in LP. FF is easier anyway. Restores everything at once.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Hate to be spamming thread - would it be smarter to flash rom, go through first boot, run NI2 flasher again to get back to SS, then flash kernel, then toggles, and reboot once more? Or no difference vs doing all in a row?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Here's what I do:

1. Do a normal backup in FF.

2. Flash NI2 kernel and select to reboot into SS.

3. Four wipes in SS.

4. Flash ROM and whatever else (toggles).

5. Flash OG5 kernel.

6. Reboot

7. Download FF from Play Store.

8. Restore data only via FF.

All done. It will be exactly as before. 20 minutes total.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Did what was said before, still says OC4 somehow in baseband version. How even possible?! redownloaded file, wiped everything except microSD, etc. WHY GOD
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Could you possibly be restoring everything with FF and not just data? It's the only thing I can think of.

Waiting for someone smarter than me to jump in and add some sage advice???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Not utilizing flashfire at all - typically don't mind reconfiguring most things with clean wipes every few months but getting kind of frustrated this go around since it did seem like it should have been easy/minor update haha
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Baseband is the radio, not the kernel. If you are only flashing the updated kernel, baseband will never change. Download and flash "OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5" from the first post.

I use Flashfire exclusively, no SafeStrap.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MeetFace:
Anyone else having trouble with system partition filling up when it shouldn't be? I'm afraid I have space or perhaps something is shown as deleted but isn't actually deleted. I currently have probably 25% of the apps/games I typically have installed, and I'm getting App update fails from the play store due to "insufficient storage".
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Messed up very bad trying to follow this, but then got it as you described. Time to reconfigure everything... again, but baseband is now correct! Thank you so much! I would change the OP guide personally, but mad props to BigBot for this ROM and everyone for the support!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] koda1789:
I need to do this as well, can you describe how you messed up?

Seems you'd use NI2 to get to SS, flash "OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5", flash the OG5 kernel then reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
My Cluster-F: Basically while holding vol down, home and power it went to the maintenance boot screen or whatever?? and the first option is regular restart, second choice down is factory reset and third is recovery or something. Because I was holding down the three buttons, it automatically went down one and since I was also holding down home, it selected the factory reset option when it wasn't necessary, and it all happened near-instantly. (I was holding down the three buttons of course to get to download mode for Odin, and of course I triggered Odin at the wrong time as well, so my phone became unbootable.)

What I did to get everything back was:

Flash an older kernel to make the phone bootable/capable to pass the Setup Wizard

Get to the home screen, re-put NI2 Flasher.apk (and everything else) onto my SD card, install and run NI2, then we're back to stage 1 and the order I went in was:

Flash BigBot's (thank you) ROM, then OG5 kernel (from other thread, safestrap flashable)

Go through first reboot and setup wizard

Run NI2 again, flash OG5 kernel again, also extra toggles, reboot

(This got me back to where I had been before I messed up)

Turn phone completely off. Turn on via Vol Down, Home & Power to enter Odin Download Mode

Finally, using Odin, flash OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5 in BigBot's thread to fully update the baseband and then everything should be fully up to date.

Despite doing stuff like this to my phones since the Evo 4G, my terminology/understanding is still not up to par. Sorry for taking so many posts guys, hope my experience can help someone else.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A San:
I've tried Odex, and I think the battery almost the same with my Stock Rom before (OG5).

Now I tried with Deodex 15-5, hope it will be better.

Can I install Xposed with this Deodex ROM type? Where can I download the Xposed?
