Not all files.

If you're still on kitkat reboot to safestrap there go to wipe menu and do a factory reset wipe also go to advanced and wipe everything except SD card.

After that flash the rom when it finished don't reboot press the home button (left corner in the bottom).

Once you're in the main menu go to reboot menu and select download mode.

Then connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable open Odin click AP and select the OC4 firmware and hit start the phone will boot automatically.

To flash the toggles zip after you setup your phone you need to put your phone in download mode.

Turn your phone completely after that press volume down,home button and power at the same time press volume up on the warning screen.

Open Odin once again click AP and select any kitkat kernel (i use NI2) and hit start the phone will boot up go to safestrap when you see the option. there install the toggles zip when it finished click home button again go to the reboot menu and click download mode again.

In Odin click AP and select the OC4 kernel and hit start. That's it.

I want this rom but can I use FlashFire? I dont have Safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
I flashed using flashfire, but I believe you need to already be on a lollipop rom

They are additional quick toggles in your status bar pull down. I looked at the script and saw flashlight, side key, ebook, and some others that are not currently there

Got it to work. Make sure you enable Su and Boot on script manager.

Disable your current equalizer as well if it's enabled in your music player.

So I flahsed the ROM with Flashfire and I forgot to set the Wipe settings in flashfire and just installed the ROM.

Should i reinstall the ROM with Wipe settings or should be ok? I came from rooted Verizon 5.0 rom.

Two weird issues after a clean install

If I bring up the volume slider and then press the gear to manage the priority settings the window kinda gets stuck on the screen and tapping the wallpaper or something doesn't get rid of it. I have to pull down the notification bar then it goes away

Also randomly the auto brightness gets stuck pretty dim..I'll shut the display off and then back on..put in my passcode..then it goes back up

I'm trying to figure this out myself. I've been seriously out of the loop on ROMs and whatnot for a while, and finally have a chance to update my phone. As one might imagine, I'm totally overwhelmed because I haven't kept up. I'm running the KitKat version of Optimal, and I primarily use Xposed for Amplify and the YouTube ad remover.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aholeinthewor1d:
Last KitKat version of this ROM and instructions?

So for the past week I gave Lollipop and try on this ROM and MOAR. Did clean installs on each more than once and I don't think I can stay on LolloPop. One of the biggest issues as many of you know is the missing silent mode (where alarms still work). I understand they work in vibrate but I don't like having to worry. Also I see the alarm gets silenced after one minute. That is the most stupid thing I have ever heard and can't believe it was made like that. Also on both ROMs I have issues with brightness that I did not have in KitKat. The default auto brightness is way to low and multiplte times a day the screen goes dim and I have to uncheck auto brightness and recheck it.

Either way for now I want to get back to KitKat. There are so many guides and it's kind of confusing because a lot are outdated. I don't know if I have to follow the downgrade guide and then the seperate root guide...or if I can just follow this one guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

So the plan is within the next hour to get back to rooted 4.4 so I am looking for the last version of this ROM that was made for KitKat and any files that went with it. I don't remember the instructions from then and if it was as simple as wiping in Safestrap and just installing the one file.

Thanks

You can but delete these files first before flashing it first.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aholeinthewor1d:
Ok finished. I started from scratch and I am now on 4.4.4 (NK2) rooted with safestrap installed.

I am now seeing it looks like the last KitKat verson of this ROM was for NI2? I think..

really trying to figure out how to install this? do I have to flash the ROM and then the NI2 file (firmware or something) in ODIN?

is Ricks ROM the only NK2 ROM?

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

I have been under a rock. Can you give me the link? I tried to research but couldn't find a guide. I would stay on lollipop then because I saw there is a module to bring back kitkar silent mode

last question lol

what does deleting those two things you mentioned above do? I don't think I saw it in the install instructions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
It's just for Verizon, one of their apps doesn't play well deodexed. So it's an odex app in the framework. No side effects of removing. Because even the rom is deodexed if you try to flash Xposed it'll fail and say rom needs to be deodexed. Once you remove those files within this rom, Xposed will flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks..tried flashing without deleting those and it gave me a weird error...deleted them and it flashed just fine. Rebooting now and hopefully everything is good! Thanks

I know the signal is good in the area i have the issues with, i JUST switched to this from my droid maxx 3 days ago!!! lol Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bucks130:
Hey guys. I'm stuck on the splash screen was hoping to get some help. Its the screen that says, samsung galaxy s5, powered by android. No lock image on it.

I just bought this phone, coming from an s3. I've flashed that phone a lot so not a huge stranger to this process but will admit I got away from it for the past year or so. Ran synergy rom and it was stable so never changed it.

Anyways I bought this phone used from swappa and it came with 4.4.2 and NCG build. I used towelroot for root, installed SuperSU, busybox installer, and safestrap. Made backup of stock rom before doing anything. Also I set up a rom slot for using custom roms. Activated the newly assigned rom slot and then followed install instructions in this rom.

Did full wipe (no microsd), flashed rom ("success" when done), flashed oc4_fw in odin and also got pass. Phone went into reboot but never left Samsung screen when back up. Sat that way for about 25-30 mins before I pulled battery. Tried again and same result for another 20 mins.

I rebooted into recovery and did cache wipe, rebooted system and same result. Then went back into recovery and tried factory/data reset. Upon that reboot, the phone made the "sound" that goes off when the colorful Samsung image comes up, but again, the screen never left the original Galaxy s5, powered by Android screen.

I'm not sure what to try next. I didn't do the "extra toggles" option that was in the instructions. I say this because after that is done, instructions say to flash oc4 kernel. I didn't flash this, as I assumed it was included in the FW that I already flashed. Is this correct or do I still need to flash the kernel for it to work?

Hoping to not have to reflash stock in odin if I can avoid but open to any ideas. Apologies for the long write up, wanted to include as much detail as possible.

One last thing, I can still charge my phone and even get the battery charging animation when I plug it in (while device turned off) so I think the rom flashed fine. Still clueless though

Thanks y'all

bucks130, I had the same issue on the verizon variant 900R6 & I had to redownload everything and reinstall. It must have been a bad download for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bucks130:
Yeah I finally got it straightened out. Tried flashing oc4 kernel and no different results. So had to odin back to stock, re-root, re-safestrap, created another rom slot in safestrap and tried again with same downloads. All MD5 checked good so figured no need to re-download.

Well I had the same issue again, so went through stock process again and tried one last time over the stock rom slot in safestrap and avoided created a separate slot. This time it went through no problems.

So I guess trying to flash this rom in a separate rom slot in safestrap is no good. Either that or maybe I just didn't create it with enough space. Regardless, I'm all good now and can't wait to mess around with this rom!

Feels good to be back messing with my phone!

I am loving this ROM, it is very smooth, and the theming you've done looks great!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fukenbiker:
Best set up ever!

Good to know, even if I don't plan to visit Mexico.

My Build number in 'about phone' shows OptimalROM R13-1 and has been my daily driver for about two months now. It has been flawless. The battery life is amazing, after learning how to set it up right. (debloat zip sideloaded with ADB) immediately after fresh install, skip signing into Google. If you set it up right, and you want YouTube, you'll have to download it from the Play store, because it will not be there!

Almost two months running, I recall a couple of times I deliberately rebooted, because a YouTube video stopped running, the reboot fixed that. I am really reaching, when I report that as 'trouble', as otherwise I cannot find a flaw. It's perfect.

If your running this current Rom, then there is no way for you to get into SS unless your using Odin to install a kitkat kernel, which then gets you into SS on boot up. SS does not work with lollipop kernels. I'm sure you'll find plenty of instructions in the OP to help you out :)

You'll need to flash the entire FW package (NOT ROM) from ODIN, then reboot to safestrap and flash NI2 ROM.
