I keep getting an error 1001 "cant connect" popup whenever i use ultra power save mode in R12. Tried clean reinstall just keeps doing it. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I'm no genius but if it does it on a clean install it's probably a preloaded app/service or one of your apps that errors without an Internet connection? I've had a few of my apps do that when I don't have a connection. Don't know if it answers your question.. But I'd say as long as the rom itself works as intended I wouldn't worry unless the popup just lives on your screen constantly.

Anyone having issues with the built in tethering on this rom? It starts up and appears to be working.. But if I try to connect on any of my devices it doesn't let me have Internet access. Am I doing something wrong or is there something I could do? Everything is perfect to me besides that, and it's not a big issue to me at all. Just something I was wondering about. Thanks

Been working fine for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I'm not had any issues tethering, but I also don't use it heavily.

Hey all: Sorry I've been MIA lately. Work decided to kick my butt the past few weeks. I'm still around! Not too sure if there are any more needed updates to OR12 as it seems pretty effing stable :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Not right now, it's pretty sexy to me. :D runs perfect, no issues except for my very minor tethering thing.. But it isn't a concern to me. I don't really use it, I just wanted to try it and saw it didn't work for me. So I'm not going to worry about it, I may try a clean flash at a later time but I'm very happy with my current setup. Thanks dude

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] unboostedzc:
I have similar issues with the tethering. Sometimes it works perfectly fine, other time it will let me connect but no internet access (shows limited access on the computer side).

I also notice when it wont allow access, the computer doesn't actually appear on the connected devices list on the phone.

Turning the tethering off/back on usually works otherwise a hard/soft reboot takes care of it for me so I haven't really worried about it.

Is there a way to install kids mode on this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
can't speak for the rom itself as I'm on Alliance, but there's an Xposed kids mode module that works for any device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Flash this in SafeStrap. I'm not positive if FamilyBaseCom.apk in system/priv-app is required but I put it in there anyways. The files only total a little over 1 mb so it's not a big deal.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JeffersonDavis:
This rom has been great, aside from that it can be boring, because its so stable.

I dirty flashed this right after it was dropped and all has been awesome, except that i dont seem to have the flashlioght toggle.

Does anyone know how I can get it back without doing a clean install or downloading a third party app from the store?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Try this:

Go to Settings > Notification Panel > Press RESET.

If not, I may have to get a flashable zip ready for ya that should enable it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
Just noticed I don't have the flashlight toggle either. (never bothered to look since I use a widget for that) Tried the above steps, didn't work for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Mk. I'll see if I'll have some time tonight to get a zip together that should enable them. It's just a sqlite script.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I have a small suggestion, that Idk if is even possible. Something like og battery mod or whatever for a selection of battery icons. I'm happy how the rom is, so if it's not possible it's ok. :thumbup:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You can try this if you have a windows pc, Or this works well if you can decompile and compile. If not make a backup of your phone and flash this mod I made for my ROM. It should work but I'm not 100% we have the exact same mods in the SystemUI. I do know it's the same flashlight mod so it should work fine. Give it a try, at worst you will have to restore your backup. Not a big deal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
The flashable zip works, but breaks theming if you had like what I use, the jrkruse dark it up theme. 3minit works though. So I'm going to try the other methods later. I'm not really sure how to do the decompiling and stuff but I'll try to give it a shot

Is privacy guard possible on this rom? If yes, how can I block an app from access my phone call history?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think with app ops that's one of the permissions you can turn off. You just find the respective app in the list with that app and see if call/phone related stuff is listed and turn off. It may cause issues with the app though, so be careful.

Anyone else notice that the voice note recording on whatsapp is very low, when you record? The playback for everyone else is normal. Voice recorder plays back my voice normally.

Don't use whatsapp so I couldn't tell ya. Somebody else use it and can provide some info for swomack?

Needless to say, I may be mia for a little while longer until I'm feeling 100% and until work slows the eff down :eek: .

Looks like ktoonsez updated his kernel for NI2.

DevED

A full wipe is only necessary if coming from a different ROM, all updates can be dirty flashed (unless otherwise noted).

DO NOT FLASH NI2 FIRMWARE ON A DEVELOPER EDITION UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!

1. BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!

2. Flash ROM in recovery.

3. Flash kernel: [KERNEL][VZW-DEV-EDITION][TW-AOSP 4.4][10/20/2014] KT-SGS5 - NI2 - KTweaker. Thanks [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION]

For those of you with the missing notification panel flashlight and whatnot. This should do the trick. Just flash in recovery, but backup first.

Samsung Dev Ed. Can't activate with ROM

Hello,

I flashed this ROM, the TW kernel, as well as the NI2 modem in Odin, and I can't get passed the activation screen? Any idea why I'm stuck there? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

one thing I did do was pull the SIM so I can see the settings, and it still says I'm running the NCG modem even after I flashed NI2 in Odin.

I've been running the previous version (2014-09-23 Release 12)

Some small comments in case they are not fixed in 12-2 already:

build.prop has ro.config.tima=1

TrustZone-based Integrity Measurement Architecture (TIMA) is is a Knox service. See: http://androidforums.com/6501071-post12.html and https://www.samsungknox.com/en/products/knox-workspace/technical

This should be set to ro.config.tima=0 to disable, otherwise a TimaService wakelock persists that wastes battery doing nothing productive.

Also, with Disable Services app, I disabled Carrier IQ just in case it is actually running. The androidforums link touches on that as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
The build prop is good to do but do not delete the lib file libknox_encryption.so. The phone will not boot if you remove it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Yep just updated su and the buiold prop fix.

Question for everyone: occasionally, right before an incoming call, my phone will make a single beep right before my phone rings. The beep sounds like the volume adjustment beep from AOSP and happens whether my phone is on vibrate or ring.

Anybody else get this? Mine has only done this on NI2.. Trying to figure out if its my phone, NI2, ROM, or the ROM base I used. Or an app... Regardless its annoying especially when the phone is supposed to be silenced.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yup, I just noticed that after trying it out. I think it happens when the phone is resting for a while and goes into dormant mode or something like that. Like you said it's most likely a NI2 thing. I think NI2 is a tad flaky here and there. We are on different ROM bases too so I'm pretty sure it's the build.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I assume you tested it on your ROM? Makes me feel better... Both about my phone and ROM lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yup and that's built off my base ROM too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Even though I'm on ktoonsez I still love the roms battery/performance so much.. Been on it for almost 2 months now.. Don't think I'll ever switch unless something new and super awesome comes out. But it will have to be pretty awesome to pull me away from optimal :) 4 hr 15 min screen on time at time of screenshot.

Thanks for fixing root! I am enjoying great battery life and this ROM!

Is it still OK to dirty flash update s? I'm on 12-2.

Also to return to stock.. Wipe in safestrap and hit restore or is something else preferred?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Glad youre enjoying it! Dirty flash is fine.

To return to stock is available on retail edition S5 only. Factory reset in safestrap, flash stock tar via ODIN and reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Really thinking about flashing this rom as I am not sure if Alliance development for the S5 has stopped but I have an important conversation recorded I may need for legal purposes.. Not sure if just backing up to SD card will work or if I actually need evidence of when the call was recorded though.. decisions, decisions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hollywood67:
Why not take a screen shot of your call and also put it on SD card.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
screenshot is worthless as it's with my house arrest monitoring agency, i talk to them at least once a week.. i have already backed the call up on my computer though. i wonder if all the information i need in a recording is right there.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
As long as the file still has meta data intact (date created/modified, etc..) It should count. Might want to contact a lawyer, though. Many have free consultations.

Back on topic: If you do venture over to OR, I think you'll be happy :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Thanks... definitely considering it, already been talking to lawyers.. situation I'm in is all kinds of a mess, my lawyer wants more money to do anything and the other lawyer I've been attempting to contact has yet to get back to me... either way this will all be over by November 30th, so I might end up jumping over here then, maybe sooner if I ever get to talk to a lawyer lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loonie01:
I wouldn't flash another ROM if you need that info intact. The data may get corrupted when transferring the info from and to the device. Then you will have to explain to the judge how the data got corrupted. This is coming from a County Officer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Thank you.. guess I'm gonna keep hope alive that Alliance development has simply slowed and not stopped for now. I do have the conversation already backed up to my PC and it plays just fine but not sure if there's more info that needs to be left intact or not... if simply having the conversation saved is enough I may just flash Optimal after all but if there's more to it than that I'd rather be safe than updated, lol

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Can't answer your question as I am not even on this ROM, but I will say Amplify (formerly Unbounce) donation is the best $1 I have ever spent in the Google Playstore.. that module is incredible and any donation amount, even $1 unocks everything, so if you cannot find another way around your issue and you are considering donating to Amplify I would whole-heartedly recommend doing so.. losing Always Correct! (I type like a damn ape) and Amplify genuinely have me more worried about Lollipop than excited for it as Xposed still is not ART friendly.

Running v12-4 clean flashed in slot 1 (thanks to Muniz_ri). I can't get apps to D/L from the playstore. Error message says "can't retrieve information from the server". Play store connects fine and searches fine, just can't get apps.

Anyone seen this or have a fix?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
maybe its due to the rom slot lol. muniz fixed it to where u can reboot from a rom slot but it doesnt fix all the other issues ppl would have using rom slots
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I've seen it before but for various reasons (wrong google account selected, corrupted data, etc..). Honestly, given the issues with ROM slots on previous SS versions, I'm not up for supporting any slots other than the stock slot. Flash to stock slot and try again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hollywood67:
Thanks for the input. I realize the preferred is stock slot as its clearly says in the OP. This is a nice clean ROM and I was using in the stock slot with no issues.

I have seen some major progress in the last several weeks in SS. I was unable to create a slot, then unable to flash anything, then unable to boot. Now I am almost there and want to keep pushing. Also I know this is not a SS thread but seems most people are reading and following both. We are almost there. Maybe I'll sideload the playstore and see what happens.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I'm curious if side loading it would help. Let me know.

A better way for me to say it: I'm not up for supporting it *yet*. Once all the kinks are (hopefully) worked out and ROM slots are just as stable as stock slot, then absolutely :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hollywood67:

Not connecting to the computer

I had seen a couple of posts earlier about a couple of people that could not get their phone to connect to the pc, but I could not find that anyone posted a solution. I just did this root and optimalrom last night and I can't get the phone to connect. What am I missing. I turned off the developer options, but still nothing. Any ideas?

I did all that plus change to different USB Ports, changing USB 3.0 cables. I just might have to just redo the rom and see if that does it. When I plug in my Samsung GIII, no problems and when I plug in my Note 10.1, also no problem. I guess I am off to reinstalling the rom.

Ok, went back and wiped the phone, reinstalled OR and still have the same problem. Wiped again, reinstalled factory rom, it also did not recognize the pc, but gave me context and health service errors. Wiped again and reinstalled OR and still am not able to connect the phone to the PC. Man o Man, there has to be something I am missing here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Huh. I would recommend flashing back to stock via ODIN and wipe/data factory reset. Then with the phone full stock try it. Then reroot and ROM. Just be sure something loopy didn't happen. I've not seen this issue yet.
