will i have to reinstall safestrap after installing this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
No you don't.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
Am I missing something? On the retail instructions, I see where I need to flash the firmware using Odin but when I flash the (ROM) using safestrap recovery(I assume), this is where I am confused. Where is the ROM download for me to flash in recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
In the OP look for the Download section and click the link labeled **Release 12-6**
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
Rom flashed successfully but......

I no longer have root after installing ROM 12-6. Can anyone shed some light on this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
I just installed this rom for the first time on Monday but I didn't encounter this issue... You could try a dirty flash of the rom or maybe SuperSU just needs to be updated
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
All gravy

I just installed the previous root method and i am back in business.

Will Volte work with this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Yes sir it will

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Yes it will.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] saycbone:
Thanks.. I'm trying to enable it but don't see where it shows that I have enabled it on the phone.. It shows it on the Web account setting... Is the volte already built in or do I need to add the apk? I tried to add and it failed but I was wondering if it was already built in.. Thanks for your time!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
Zip

How do i install zip files?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
If you enabled it on the web it should have an option under settings --> more networks --> mobile networks --> enable volte
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] saycbone:
Thanks.. Working just fine!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
Having a little trouble. I installed Optimum Rom 12-6 fine, however after flashing I wanted to flash a zip file that is under NI2 MODS, THEMES, and STOCK FILES...OptimalROM_NI2_ScrollingTWH.zip. I was confused b/c I didn't understand how to flash zip files without a recovery so I used a program called Flash Gordon and now my phone is stuck @ samsung logo still after 20 min. I removed the battery but that didn't help and I did a factory reset in maintenance boot mode without any luck. Someone please help with this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Is power saving mode actually causing faster battery drain on this ROM? It seems like my phone is getting better battery life with power saving mode off... is there something about the way this ROM is optimized that would cause that or am I just going crazy trying to fix my battery drain? Clean flashed again this time without installing 45 apps at once, same results as first time... curious if power saving mode was my issue all along.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Download ni2 odin tar and flash that. You were supposed to use safestrap to flash... Why did you not?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
I just wanted to give an update to my previous issue. I resolved the issue and now understand why no one responded. Upon my first flash of OptimalRom 12-6, I lost root and safestrap. I rerooted and after that, installed safestrap but safestrap was not responsive. I soft-bricked my phone and flashed it back to stock and now it works flawlessy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
so are you on stock ncg, stock ni2, or did you get this rom working? if you are stuck on stock, as long as you're on ni2 just flash the rom in safestrap to stock slot, then reboot into download mode, flash ni2 firmware only file and you're good to go.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zacb01:
I got the rom working. No problems at all this time. I did everything the same but this time it worked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I ran power saving mode for about 20 minutes and only went down 1 percent. Not sure why your battery keeps draining... I just couldn't stand the lower framerate with PS turned on :silly:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
so weird... my battery is draining totally normally with power saving mode turned off. i'm staying deep sleep 95% of the time when idle... with power saving on i stay in deep sleep 84% when idle... i don't understand it at all but i suppose i'm gonna save power.. by turning power saving mode off. everything is very smooth with power saving mode turned off... quite a nice little rom you cooked up here. thanks man.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ImYoungxD:
Does wifi.supplicant_scan_interval work? I noticed that it was not in the build.prop. The wifi scans are going on frequently while my phone is not being used. I added wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=3000 and it does nothing.

Can someone offer a solution? I made sure the advanced settings for wifi is disconnected while the phone is off. Google search is disabled and location is off as well. I don't like disabling wifi.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Man this ROM is smooth as hell now that itsb settled and I have power savijg mode off, great battery life and I have V4A back finally! Did not work properly even while processing on last build from Alliance for me anyway. Shoutout BigBot, this ROM is the bomb bro.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
2014-07-05

Release 6

Themed SystemUI.apk a bit. Added all white Quick Setting Tiles. That green was ugly.

Enabled Call Recording

Added "ro.securestorage.support=false" for xposed/S Health fix

Added Android L Notification, Ringtone, and Alarms
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loismustdie555:
Any chance you could make the status bar in this AOSP themed?

This ROM seems epic but I cannot stand the status bar icons of Samsung anymore. Bleck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I do plan on doing a little more theming so perhaps this will make the list.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loismustdie555:
Awesomesauce. :3

I tried theming it myself but I can't figure out half the stuff I'd need to do. :/

If you want any UI images I can give those though. PM me if you want them, I'll be packing them into a .rar in a few anyway. :p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 22jk:
Dont forget there always Xposed :p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loismustdie555:
Xposed doesn't them every status bar icon for me. Unless you've found a theme that works?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
xposed also breaks ART for those who care.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancem71:
One small request...is it possible to have the Samsung browser included in the next release? I'm not a huge fan of Chrome. Thanks. ROM running great
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cubsrule17:
Bluetooth Call Recording?

Hey Guys, looking to pickup an S5, and just had a question on this rom. Does call recording work on bluetooth, or just through the phone speaker?

I think my S4 worked on bluetooth.

Thanks ALL!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
As far as I know, the VZW S5 doesn't include the stock S Browser. It could probably be ported from the other variants, but I don't feel like digging through the libs to find the one required. If you want to get it together be my guest. I can pack it into a flashable zip.

I don't use bluetooth in-call but maybe someone else can help you :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cubsrule17:
Thanks I'll keep my eyes open to see if anyone can reply with the Bluetooth answer. Much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Óðinsdagr:
Verizon S5 didn't come with he S browser, just confirming
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
So I remember why I dislike theming. I'm doing a little for this ROM, but it's annoying having to deal with ninepatches :eek:... anyone here with experience in theming and willing to give it a go on this ROM please send me a PM :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] artjrv:
Does private mode operate with this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
According to BeansTown106's original thread (this ROMs base), private mode will not work with deodexed ROMs. This ROM is deodexed. I have not tried it myself, though I suspect it won't work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evercleardoc:
I just installed and love the rom! Just having a hard time selecting Swiftkey as my keyboard. Anyone else with the same issue? It checks and then auto unchecked itself. I also can't uncheck Swype or the other keyboards that are not grayed out.

Not sure if i missed it but is there any way to skip songs with the volume up button?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I've not baked anything like that into the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
You can do with Xposed modules like gravity box and Wanam

Please help, problem with bootloop after installing on dev edition

I have tried to install this rom twice following the instructions for the developer edition phones and both times I end up in a bootloop with the message Selinux kernel not enforced. Any ideas what I can do to fix? I am rooted and running twrp 2.8.10. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Did you flash ktoonsez kernel after that? I'm going to assume not.. Because that's sure what it sounds like

Anyone found any themes (blacked out hopefully) that are compatible with this rom? I've heard Jkruse's theme is but would like confirmation from someone before flashing as OP says there are no compatible themes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gedavis:
Yes it's works I'm using it just make a backup in case something goes wrong
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I use jrkruses theme. I love it! Works flawless and has 3 minit battery mod on top of it now. That combined with this rom is the absolute best.

Had anyone else noticed that the auto rotation seems very slow to kick in... On Alliance it was almost immediately street I rotated the phone... On optimal it seems as if there is a long delay before it rotates... Other than that everything is running smoothly

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JOrkin:
Thanks. I just tried again and get all the way to setup. At this point it hangs at the activate phone page. I have installed the n12 modem but it doesn't appear to find a signal.

All animations are at factory settings. Seems fast enough here.

Stupid question (yes, I read the instructions), but wanted to ask nonetheless. Do you need to flash the NI2 firmware if it's already on your device? My new SGS5 is already fully up to NI2 so didn't know if that step was now redundant.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
If you're already on NI2, you're right about it being redundant. :p.. Not necessary to flash.

Does flashing the Dark_it_Up theme from JKruse change more than just the theme? I've noticed my battery draining faster and I can't see any sign I'm still even on OptimalRom under About Phone.. did I flash the Dark it up Rom by accident? How can I make sure I'm still on Optimal? Never seen the rom not under about phone...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I had the same thing happen myself.

It changed the build prop because one of the apps he threw in the theme required a build prop edit.... Remove the build prop from the zip and reflash if you have a backup.. , or extract the build prop from the rom zip, delete the build prop on your phone, copy to /system and set permissions. I had to revert myself, luckily I did a backup right before flashing the new theme. So what I did was revert back, delete the build prop from the theme zip and then flash it.

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Did your battery life go back to normal? And how in the hell did you remove a build prop from the zip? No idea how that works but would like to use this theme on OR if possible.. really don't want any of the other stuff added in the zip just the theme itself but yeah it actively removed OR, just went back to my all white backup hoping battery stops draining
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
To make it easier, download this.. Delete build prop in /system. Copy this there. Set permissions as in attached screenie. Reboot. Profit. I also added build prop tweaks to this, for some performance boosts. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8hp8jtsnoi84zi5/build.prop?dl=0

Thanks bro. Do I flash dark it up after doing all this or before? And do I need to remove anything from the zip or does thus take care of that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Build prop after you flash the theme zip.. And you could open the theme zip on your pc with 7zip, go to system and delete build prop and any other apks you don't want and then copy the zip back to your SD card. Easier just to do build prop because that's really the only part that would adversely affect the rom. You could even drag and drop the build prop I dropboxed into the theme zip where the other one was to replace it when it flashes to skip a step. Sorry if it doesn't make much sense

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Still had to flash OR back to normal... Worse batter drain without build.prop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I couldn't tell you what the issue is. The theme package flashes a lot more than just a theme should do. It's more of a full mod than a theme. Flashes a few apps that may or may not be affecting your battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
That's why I was saying to open up the zip and delete to your liking. That's what I did. Deleted the build prop and the extra unnecessary apks then flashed, still golden. Pretty much only left the systemui, frameworks etc.

You talking about 5 way reboot? It can be modded into tw roms just is a lot of work probably. There's Xposed modules that can do it tho like gravity box

Just upgraded to this rom from syndicate but having a weird latency issue with wifi..

browsing playstore and youtube involves long delay showing icons/installing app/loading video while everything else (web browsing, imgur, fast video buffering) works perfectly fine

I have a solid 20mbps 5ghz connection. I have tried 2.4ghz and rebooting phone. any ideas??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Can't say I've experienced this issue. No latency problems here. Did you dirty flash or clean flash? And by clean flash, wipe data/cache/dalvik. The ROM zip auto wipes system.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbernardini:
The only wifi problems I've been having is that the phone can sometimes take up to a full minute to show available wifi networks. That, and my workplace's wifi makes at least one app think I'm in California when I'm on the opposite end of the country.

Definitely no issues here either. Be sure to do a clean install when coming from a different ROM. Unless you had an older build of this rom, then a dirty flash is okay too. Clean install is always the way to go though...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
This is obviously directed at my comment so there is no point in not having the balls to admit it. The Auto rotation on this ROM is slow... I rotate the device in my hands and it's literally at least 3 seconds before it switches to landscape mode or back to portrait. Yes, it's not a lot of time or anything major, but it's not as fast as it's supposed to be... I even went back to stock to check the difference and it's almost instant rotation there. If it's not an issue that anyone else notices than no big deal... I was just reporting my observations

However posting a sarcastic comment or meme which is obviously a direct response to a specific comment and then trying to act like it wasn't a direct response is a surprisingly cowardly thing to do... I mean really, were you afraid that I was gonna reach thru the internet and ***** slap you and her mother for your half retarded attempt at comedy, so you felt you had to add the part about it not being directed at anyone? It obviously was, don't be scared to own your comments.
