Sorry, but I have a less than half a second rotation time on my device. Hardly slow.. Not to say yours isn't, but I can guarantee you the auto rotation on this ROM is definitely not slow. Is there a specific app that you notice this lag?

Also, let's keep my thread family friendly. That applies to everyone :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
It's all apps... YouTube is really bad... 5 to 10 second delay when a video is playing... If no one else is encountering this then it is prolly something more specific to my device such as an xposed module or something. Since no one else seems to have this issue I can now start troubleshooting my device.

"Some men just want to watch the world burn"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Id definitely say an xposed module could be your culprit. Ive never used it, but ive seen and read of many strange anomalies with it. Let us know if you figure it out :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Been between this rom and Alliance a couple times and this one is a bit faster for me. Apps open right away and no problems with youtube and screen rotation is pretty much instant. Alliance has the customizations obviously but for the few i need wanam xposed does the job. No bad side effects from using wanam everything runs as it should.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] socalwrxx:
Hey BigBot,

Yes, this was a clean flash -data/cache/dalvik. Now twice clean installed. Same issue. Just really odd that I'm getting a solid 45mbps on my 5ghz router and yet all the google apps are having issues connecting. Again, youtube, playstore, google now wont connect to server when doing voice. But works perfectly on 4g. I'm going to test out another router and see what results I get!

Been getting this error on 12-2 and after flashing 12-6. Any ideas? I have no idea what "live extra" is coming from
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I believe that's a third party app. Are you using any apps similar to these?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] aescbrya:
Sure enough it was the NBC sports "live extra" app I overlooked. Absolute waste of an app as well. It's the one app you download for one thing and then never use it again. By the way this ROM is a beast. I hate to update it because I don't figure on how it's getting better. Thanks for the hard work on making my life that much more simple

So what would it take to get a rom customization apk/setting built into this rom?

Battery Performance

How is the battery performance with this ROM? I've seen lots of ROMs improve speed performance a little, but I'm more interested in improving battery life. Has anyone compared this rom to stock?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Battery life is very good. I don't use any battery saving settings or apps to save battery. Im at about 8hrs with 75% with 2hrs screen on time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RiggsDaRuler:
Battery life is great.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Yeah battery life on this rom is great with a few build.prop tweaks. Will be using this the next couple weeks til I get my Nexus 6, this is a great daily driver for the S5

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RiggsDaRuler:
Is the ktoonsez only available for the dev edition? If there is one for the retail can you post a link? I'm curious to read up on it and possibly try it out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Only for dev edition. Retail VZW s5 has a locked bootloader so you cannot flash custom kernels.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] helllmonkey:
Id like to change the WiFI, signal, and Bluetooth icons. Is there any easy way to do that with this rom? I found 3minit batteries for the battery, is there a similar app for signal icons? Ive used tickle my android in the past for pulling files, but is not allowing me to do that anymore. It just says device not found.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancem71:
Try the attached. Credits go to Tulsadiver. He has a thread on S5 themes and apps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancem71:
It also changes icons on notification panel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] helllmonkey:
Thank you. I found the thread. Ill go through it when I get some time, but what you linked looks pretty good to me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
At least I'm not the only one to notice the delay... Although uninstalling xposed has not made a difference for me... Still not instant as it should be

UPDATE:

Finally found the rotation culprit

It's the smart rotation option in the screen rotation setting.

Turning Smart Rotation OFF instantly removed the delay.

Also after reinstalling xposed, the delay is still gone... Success lol

Ah yeah I didn't even think about that. I have mine disabled. Glad you got it sorted :good:

Back to trusted OptimalROM with Xposed mods after few days with the Eclipse ROM. Eclipse looks nice, but I found battery to not be as good as OptimalROM and there was a lot of "little issues" and inconsistencies that bothered me.

Elso evilryry, can you break down what mods and tweaks you added to this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57206566&postcount=1013. Thanks !
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
There's alot of miscellaneous tweaks in there for performance, battery life, Internet tweaks, etc. Can't go wrong with just using all of them in provided build prop, just delete the old and set perms on the one I linked

Non Lollipop update

I'm hearing rumors of another non-lollipop update being pushed for the Verizon version. Has anyone run into it yet? It is supposed to allow for calls on LTE phone calls.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Are you referring to the VoLTE? (Voice over LTE?) That's the NI2 update that came out like 2 months ago or so.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
Ok. ... I wasnt sure. I'm looking forward to the lollipop version of this ROM. So I have been cruising the forums for any indicator of its arrival.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
As am I. No word on when its supposed to drop, though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Seems there's another 4.4.4 update, NK2, from Verizon. release info

New Update for Verizon S5 (NK2)

I'm probably

not

going to update OR, as the list of fixes seem non-critical and nobody has reported said problems. I'm holding out (and being hopeful) for the Lollipop update.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] timeToy:
Oh no, I am a bit afraid that even when lollipop drop, there will be so much changes that it will take weeks to reach a stable community build.

I think it will worth to have a NK2 stable build for people that need a strong daily driver. :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
My two cents, current build is my DD and is more than stable. I can wait until 5.0 drops. Thanks for your hard work [MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
There's no need in a nk2 update..very insignificant changes. This rom is perfectly fine as is and doesn't need updating unless BigBot feels it necessary

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
All good points. However, [MENTION=2807182]timeToy[/MENTION], what about R12-6/NI2 doesn't make it a strong daily? Honest question. If I can be convinced it's necessary to update to NK2 when Lollipop is (hopefully) around the corner, then sure thing.

Though, another reason I was going to skip out on it is I'm going out of town for Christmas today and won't be back until just before New Years.. but then I'm very busy here (extended home vacation :victory: ) that week as well. So it won't be probably 2 - 3 weeks until I can sit back down and work on this. And by then, we'll hopefully have 5.0. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
So I'm currently on another ROM and will be looking to install Optimal. SO I'm clear I need to follow the instructions you provided on the first page (wipe, backup, flash rom, flash firmware). I see there are some build prop tweaks. Is it as easy as deleting the existing and added the modded? I couldn't find the link to the modded?? Anything else I'm missing, tweaks?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] timeToy:
Oh, don't get me wrong, R12-6 is a great daily ROM, I got 2+ days Standby and 7+ hours SOT time with the 3500maH battery. I do not complain.

I am just trying to make the point that Lollipop is going to take a lot of time to be available in a reasonably stable and useful fashion for the VZN GS5. No big deal, I'll wait, like everyone else.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Tweaks you can copy to the existing at the bottom. If I'm not mistaken, if there are duplicate values in it the system will load the ones toward the end of the list. That's what I do with tweaks

I followed instructions perfectly - done this before - and my phone keeps rebooting itself. Gets to the home screen for about 15 seconds and then reboots. Suggestions?

Not sure if this is related, but when I try to Power Off, the phone doesn't exactly power off. Blue light and home keys are still lit up and I need to do a hard power off (power + vol down) to shut down completely.

Hey nybelle, I kept getting the same behavior until I installed to the STOCK slot in SafeStrap. Once I installed to the STOCK slot the ROM booted and shut down correctly.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
Thanks Jet, will try that. I wonder if restoring from slot 1 to stock slot will work, rather than a complete reinstall...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Perhaps asking in the Q&A thread. Lets keep this thread ROM related. Thanks.

I tried it once long ago and I had problems. I suggest a clean flash. You can use TiBu to backup/restore your apps at least.

I am on the rom and love it. I just am not sure if the navbar issue I'm having is rom related or this is just the way it is

Good morning,

Superb overall ROM!

I have been using this ROM since it came out. in late November. This is a great ROM. Very dependable, great performance, and good battery life.

Ok I've been using SS for years, problem I keep getting on the S5 is after I created slot 1, I'm trying to flash optimal rom on it but it keeps failing. The error looks like when it's setting permissions. <br />

E:error executing updater binary in zip '/datamedia/media/0/download/Optimalrom_r12-6.zip'<br />

Error flashing zip'datamedia/media/0/download/optimalrom_r12-6.zip<br />

Never had an issue like this before. <br />

Am I only supposed to flash on the stock slot? <br />

Not to turn this into a SS discussion but if you aren't using the latest updated version then update it with this version. I haven't had one problem with rebooting from a ROM slot or anything using this one. Give it a try.

Won't work for VZW, lp requires the lp kernel and bootloader to boot. Hopefully soon for VZW tho. just for dev edition guys they kinda get the bad straw because they don't get updates so no bootloader updates... so no lp touchwiz support unless vzw/samsung decide to do something. Hopefully they realize that

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] InfantryMarc:
From what I've been reading online, gra ted half of it may be true, that Samsung is trying to be more involved in update process with carriers to push em at a faster pace than before. And that they are trying to get the Dev edition models to be updated by them instead of the carriers. There is a leaked image showing that January 2015 is the timeframe to have the s5 updated along with the note 4 then onto the s4 and note 3. But I imagine the note 3 will prolly come before some due to many people already owning it and the note 4 just now really rolling out.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
If you think your apn settings are the fault, Backup and Flash to another rom, use apn backup and restore to backup your apn.. Then on this rom, follow this guide to restore them. Apn backup and restore needs to be system priv app to work on restore. Hit delete apn before you do. Side question, do you have this issue on other roms like ricks or anything?

Nope, stock NCG worked fine. But any ROM I flash I'd run in to this problem. Initially I couldn't get any cellular service at all, any time i'd flash any custom ROM, but I remedied that by following a tutorial on how to remove the aboot file from the stock firmware and create a Dev edition-safe firmware .tar that worked to some degree. That's when my issues started. Now, i'm thinking about using my NCG .tar file that's been completely reliable, and using APN backup from that to see if I can manage to get this damn thing working LOL. If it's even my APN settings that are causing this whole thing.

Thanks for this ROM!

I Got my S5 on Dec 11, played with it for 5 days, then rooted it, played with Exposed, Titanium, etc for a week or so, then Safestrapped it and flashed OR. The ROM runs smooth, have had no glitches, or problems with apps.

Battery life is much improved over stock VZW!!!

I am having difficulty getting a Bluetooth connection to my car (worked fine with previous phone, and the S5 on stock VZW), but I have not had time to properly troubleshoot. I did a search for Bluetooth problems in this thread, but did not find anything significant, so I am sure I will get it ironed out... I will report back if I fail to get it to work.
