My screen will not rotate with clean install . Any ideas? Setting is turned on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Not really because this is the first time I have heard of this in any ROM I made. Did you install anything such as Xposed, run a debloat script or disable any apps? Are you on the stock slot on the NK2 firmware? It's pretty hard to say without knowing what else was done after installing the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Try turning the toggle off then back see if that does anything.

Best rom out there ATM. Thanks runs awesome!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hoovnick:
Agreed!

Switching basebands on Rick's Rom

While on the most recent Rick's Rom, I tried to mirror my galaxy S5 to my Amazon fire TV stick. It would continue to fail and never go through. I had to get a new S5 through insurance that came with stock NCG but then I updated to NE9. On a whim I tried screen mirroring again, and this time it worked. I ended up reflashing the latest Rick's Rom and again it would not work. Does anyone have any idea what causes this? And can I keep Rick's Rom and just flash the NE9 modem (downgrade) and see if that works or will that cause any problems? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Can i just delete that folder? It is just videos right? thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Yeah just delete the entire dir.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'm thinking it might be the Private Mode fix or the S-Health fix for Xposed. I'm not positive and do not have a S5 to confirm it at the moment.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] scottsdca:
Thanks, I'm not sure how to fix that, do I uninstall something? It was pretty cool to be able to mirror my phone on the TV. I would like to get that function back if I can. I read up on the amazon fire TV forums and some devices work and others don't. It's supposed to be a standard that all devices capable of miracast SHOULD be able to handle but we're finding out it's not the case.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hoovnick:
Did a quick search but came up with nothing. Hoping you guys might know how to change the ugly orange color of the message notification icon on the lock screen. I've looked through Wanam, Gravity box, Android Theme Engine with no luck. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] scottsdca:
Is this what I need to download and apply in Xposed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'll make a flashable zip for you to flash to remove the changes I made. Give me about 10 minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OK, first flash the Remove_Private_Mode_Fix.zip and give it a try. If it doesn't fix it just flash the Add_Private_Mode_Fix and it will be back to normal. Let me know what happens.

Download NK2 firmware for S5 Dev. Ed.

Here is a NK2 firmware for Dev. Ed. (doesn't have aboot and recovery) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789551
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thanks for this, I wasn't sure what the Dev ED required. I'll add it to the OP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
Ok, so I got this running and it runs great.. until I go to shut it down. My software shuts down completely, but the hardware doesn't. My LED indicator and my back and multitasking buttons are all still lit up infinitely. I have to do a battery pull to get it to shut off. It starts up just fine afterwards, but that still doesn't address the issue. Just a concern I had.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Flash to stock slot not rom slot I guarantee you will have no more issues like that.

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
Alright thanks for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Update your SafeStrap should resolve the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
I am actually already running that version of safestrap. So I'm sure it isn't that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OK then you will have to wipe the stock slot and use that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
Done. Currently running, and I LOVE IT. But quick question, do you know where I could get more unlock animations? Been looking for some, but had no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Glad you have it worked out. As for the unlock animations I don't have a clue. I never even looked into that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thesmashippy:
Oh, alright. Just looking for more ways to customize my device. Thanks again for the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
I have successfully rooted this device on NK2 and I also installed supersu but I'm not able to install safestrap on it. whenever I click install recovery it says install complete buts safestrap status still says not activated. does anyone know what could be the problem ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
It says that if you aren't using a rom slot. Which they don't really work well anyway. You should be able to boot into it , wipe stock slot and install rom on it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
I tried rebooting the phone but it seems like the safestrap recovery didn't install. I even treid reinstalling the safestrap app and reinstalling recovery but the satatus says not active and the reboot to recovery option is grayed out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Doesn't pop up before os boots when you manually reboot?

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
No, nothing pops up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Did you have busybox installed first before you tried to install it

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
No, I didn't. I will do that and see how it goes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Busybox is required for safestrap so I'm pretty sure that will get you going bud

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Not only busy box but I had to do the permissive thing to just to install safestrap. Sorry I don't know what it's called but it's the Enforcing issue.

Safestrap Recovery 3.75

I am running into this strange problem, I hope someone can help me out here. I installed the safestrap recovery 3.75v on my Galaxy S5 with NK2 for Verizon. All went smooth but when I reboot the phone into recovery mode it opens into stock recovery splash screen, I push the power button to reboot from the stock recovery and the splash screen comes up with the Safestrap recovery. I don't understand what's going on. I hope I installed the correct version of safestrap. The phone is rooted and has busy box. Any help is appreciated...TIA:confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Try uninstalling SS and install it again. That always fixed any issues for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
Went to eclipse for a bit due to battery issues and eclipse was always good to me on my old phones.

Came back and set up greenify and also cleaned house with "the purge" debloater. Loving my battery second day back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hoovnick:
Pretty heavy usage today. I'm normally averaging 30+ hrs per charge. Anyway, not that it seems to be affecting my battery life, but it shows my WiFi as constantly being on. But I only turn it on when I'm streaming movies to the TV. Ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] corporal_hades:
You check to see if Wi-Fi always scanning is checked?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sg1858:
I am bit confused. I had updated to NK2 when it became available OTA. I rooted the phone using odin and installed safestarp recovery, everything is fine and ready to go. When I read your instructions it says that after flashing the rom reboot in download mode and flash NK2 firmware. That's where I am confused I already have the NK2. Do I still have to flash firmware??? TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If you are on NK2 already and flashing the NK2 ROM then you are all set.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hoovnick:
Ah! Didn't know that was an option. Unchecked it! Thanks man
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
hey misterxtc are you gonna be making a rom for the new update? thanks. i love your roms i really hope you do
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry to say but most likely not. My son is the only one here with a S5 and he wants nothing to do with lollypop. That makes it way too much of a hassle for me to learn how to mod lollypop. Unless he changes his mind I won't be updating this any further. My wife and I currently have Note 4's with no root. I'll have to stick to my stock tar thread for now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
gonna miss your rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] foundsoul80:
I'd have to say your rom was the best daily I've had on this phone. It's gonna be sad having to try others!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mygraine:
Back. After lollipop, I just had to go back to the best. Thanks for making a great rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tulsadiver:
Ditto, a lot would have to be going on with Lollipop for me to leave Ricks ROM. Been my daily since I was on 4.4.2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'm not too impressed with what I have seen with Lollipop. It seems a little buggy when it's deodexed and I'm not too fond of some of the colors. I might try to update the ROM sometime but not until I see some more stability. I don't see the point in fixing something that isn't broke.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
[MENTION=5601139]Misterxtc[/MENTION] you think this might work on the new update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I thought lolltpop had the Note 4 weather. I'm not sure if it will work because the way 5.0 works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This looks like it will work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
No just the regular S5 widget. I'll give this a try see if it works. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chillout2010:
Moved to questions thread. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
I fell back from Lollipop to check out your rom. Nicccccccccce. ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SimsDelt:
So I'm new to the S5 (got it today). I'm on NI2 with root and safestrap. To install this rom do I install in safestrap and is the odin part necessary if I'm already on NI2?

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Nevermind. I just flashed and held my breath. It all worked fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 7bigjohn:
This, hands down, the best rim out there for Verizon right now. Smooth, stable, with the best battery life and all the quick launch icons. Can't really ask for more. Thanks a bunch!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. Now that I have a dev edition note 4 and root when lollipop get released for it I can get to learning how to mod it and hopefully get this one updated. I'll still keep the NI2 and NK2 builds up because I know many of you prefer kitkat over lollipop. Enjoy the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RedRamage:
So if I upgraded to lollipop (without root) and regret it a bit now... what's the best way to downgrade back to this rom? I don't have safestrap installed so can't boot to that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You will have to flash one of the stock retail tar files from here, re-root, install busybox and safestrap. All the required files are in the link and root instructions. I would do a factory data reset from lollipop and then Odin the full NK2 tar and take it from there. If you get stuck anywhere just give the instructions a read and you should be set. The last few pages of the thread I linked may help too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] downhillvinnie:
Love this ROM....will we see Lollipop anytime
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Possibly but not real soon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DroidinAndStuff:
When doing craigslist through Chrome or Dolphin Browser and uploading images, there is no option to access the gallery images. Dolphin offers more options in the pop up but none of them are useful and I have no desire to take each picture one by one to upload. Has anyone else run into this or know a setting I can change to make it work right? I simply want to upload all of the relevant pictures from the gallery.

Dolphin brower even includes documents in the pop up along with camera, camcorder and voice recorder.

Both fail to offer access to gallery or pictures in mobile or desktop modes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyrite123:
Could some kind fellow please tell me the total space used by System in the Storage menu please? I would like to know before installing before I go through the trouble of downgrading from Lollipop :eek:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JOLiu:
Is this "System Memory," which is found under "Miscellaneous files"? If so, mine says that system memory has used up 5.46GB.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyrite123:
Wow this is definitely the best ROM I've tried so far for the GS5... It even had some extra features not listed.

I love the flashlight volume key when the screen is off and the extra toggles. Amazing ROM.

I also uninstalled a few extra bloat apps and now my phone is so freaking fast. Thanks for this great build; this deserves a spotlight!

Your ROM will be my daily driver for the next year or so. (Certain conditions will be preventing me from doing so lol...)

Edit1

Ugh... One problem... the disgusting 3minit battery mod. I uninstalled it when I installed several xposed mods and once I rebooted I got System UI FCs and it made me completely unable to do anything. I ended up reinstalling everything again and when I tried to open 3minit, the app kept FCing after a few seconds. So I uninstalled it once more and rebooted... Found the culprit. The whole time I was thinking it was xposed causing the problems.

Now how do I remove this terrible thing from the phone without it soft bricking my phone? -.-

Edit2

Nvm I see the info in the second post.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
sorry to ask here but it's so hard to find the answer to specific questions with the search function on this forum. I went to Jrkruse's BOC4 LOLLIPOP rom and want to come back to this one but ive tried so many different ways and it keeps bootlooping,

I tried ODINING the nk2 firmware and kernel before restoring my ricks backup, bootloop. I tried then doing a wipe and just flashing a fresh ricks rom, that didnt work, i then tried restoring my backup over the fresh ricks rom flash, thats didnt work. Any quick suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Flash the full NK2 tar with Odin and then enter recovery mode to factory reset and wipe cache because you will most likely bootloop after the downgrade to KK. Then you can re-root. See this thread for more instructions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
thanks so much. i tried a couple more things since my post and before you responded. i ended up going back into safestrap, doing a wipe then reinstalling ricksrom and it worked this time, so i let it boot, backed out of setup wizard then rebooted to Sfestrap and restored my backup and it worked. the key was letting the fresh ricksrom boot first I think. :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Good, I'm glad it worked out for you...

I'm happy to see this ROM is still being used and appreciated. For a update to the future of this ROM I'm sure most have figured it out but I will not be updating it any longer. There are several reasons, for one I no longer have a S5 and two there are way to many things going on in my personal life at this time. I am doing OK myself but some of my family members and my 13 year old German Shepherd are not. Still I thank God daily for all his blessings. Despite all these things life could be a lot worse. I'll still be around XDA but won't be rooting and ROMming for the foreseeable future. I even sold my DevEd Note 4 the other day and went to the S6 without root to take that stuff off my mind.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
will definitly miss your roms. hope things get better man
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ejc1214:
I have been using this ROM since I rooted my phone a few months ago. I want to thank you for taking the time to make it. It's very solid for me and I have not tried anyone else since the NI2 seem to be taking a step back from this ROM and the other 5.0 ROMs have issues similar to the OEM 5.0. I hope and pray your life get back on track.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
God bless you man. Take care of everything, I hope the best for you. If you ever decide to become more active in the future on XDA we'll welcome you with open arms. But put your family and God first, he will take care of you.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyrite123:
*sigh* Was it really necessary to remove all the information in OP? This was my favorite ROM out of all the few remaining kitkat ROMs and Lollipop is just terrible. Sadly I had to reinstall the firmware and everything only to find out some of the links and information I needed in this thread have been deleted. :confused::mad::mad::crying::eek:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] exilepa:
This right here! SD card crashed and wanted to reload phone only to find download links pulled.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I forgot to relink the firmware but here it is. Make a backup of it for yourself. I'll update post 2 with the link. Yes at the time it was necessary to remove the OP, all the files on my AFH account were deleted.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] razzrmaxx:
Hello Misterxtc its been a long time since I asked a question here if you don't mind I was tje 2nd pwrson to comment on this thread, so I had 4.4.2 I don't know what build now lol but I finally got screwed up on my last and only backup I have to start from scratch and I thought about your Roms as my first option but since I don't see a lollipop version I was wondering if you can guide me to a link to your OA8_Dev_Ed_Firmware.tar.md5 so I can upgrade my dev edition to lollipop. PLEASE, and thanks again I'm to install your 4.4.4 Rom in the meantime, Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
did you not see the part where he stopped all development and support? ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry but I need to repack the files for that. Every file I had on AFH was deleted and I didn't have a backup for quite a few. Unfortunately I'm hard pressed for time these days but I'll see what I can do.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry for the delay, I finally found the time to restore my linux drive and repack the files. Here is the OA8_Dev_Ed_Firmware I'm in the process of restoring the original thread.

Thank You so much mate :thumbup:

What do you own now? Coming to the G4 like me or the M9?

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'm on the S6 now and loving it. The camera really drew me to it but I like the fact that the G4 has a removable battery and extSD. I'll most likely be on the S6 for a good while because I paid full retail for it and am tired of selling and loosing money.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
Yeah my wife just got the S6. I wanted a better shot at unlocked BL so I chose the G4. The camera is also best on market (minus those damn Lumias) so I'll be happy:)

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyrite123:
Luckily I still had your ROM saved on my micro SD, if anyone would like me to upload it somewhere. I managed to figure out how to get everything working again without the directions in OP's original post. Thanks all :) Happy to be back on KitKat again; screw Lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] razzrmaxx:
i would get the g4 if i was any of you guys. the m9 sucks. or you can wait a few months and get the sony xperia z4 or Note 4
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aholeinthewor1d:
I'm stuck here for a long time..can't give up my unlimited dat a on verizon so I can't renew. Also stuck on KitKat because I can't stand the sound modes in Lollipop. I want my alarm to go off without having to think about what sound mode my phone is on. I don't wanna have to mess around with priority interruptions and all that
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Alarms go off in any sound mode in lollipop just take care of it in the "interruptions" Menu I believe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aholeinthewor1d:
There is still something the phone has to be set to in order to allow them. I don't want to worry about settings when I need the alarm to go off. Lots of people feel the same way and they brought the old way back in android M. If only they updates lollipop with the changes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
Why?? Why hasn't this thread been locked??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
why? why remove rom and links and lock thread when ppl can still use and dl the rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
No one said anything about removing the ROM or its links! Just lock it so idiots like me can't ask questions, since XTC doesn't support it anymore...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
First you would need my permission to redistribute the ROM I made and you do not have it. The files have been added back post 2 for nearly a month now. I added some simple instructions back to post 1, it's no different than flashing any other ROMs with the exception if you are on lollipop. Then you will have to flash one of the KitKat full tar files, reroot, install busybox, safestrap and then the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
Also is there a flashable flashlight toggle zip for this like the note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This is the Visual Voice Mail app I removed. You can push it to the system/app folder and reboot. If it isn't what you are looking for just delete it. I think if you are not on a unlimited talk and text plan Verizon charges for it now.

This works for the torch.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Inkedadrenaline:
You are the man! Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'm trying to learn how to get the toggle integrated in the ROM but I haven't had the time or brain power lately to learn anything else. Things have been pretty hectic here lately with plumbing and sheetrock repairs in my house and my rental property. I've had a case of mush brain lately.:eek: lol
