[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Have you tried these without flashing the download booster mod? This does flash a hacked services.jar that may be broken. Just a clean flash on R7 and nothing else. No db mod nor flashing stock tw. Just pure R7. Give it a go and let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jdog94:
I'll try it maybe tomorrow evening
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] slvrbul:
I use Swiftkey and have no problems with selecting it. I have been using it since R3 and no issues at all. It has nothing to do with the ROM unless anyone else having this issue with selecting Swiftkey.

ROM is great keep up the good work, I always look forward to the next Release !!!

Flash rom13 to dev ed phone question

I realize that you have posted instructions above, but I'd to be sure I understand the flash process for this phone. I have a Dev. Ed G900V running an OA8 Rom and Ktoonsez TW5.0 Kernel. Do you know if this Kernel is compatible with your ROM? Is the process to install the ROM: backup, full wipe except SD card, flash rom in recovery from SD card, flash kernel?

Thank you for your support and outstanding work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Yes ktoonsez works fine with this

For what's worth, I tried Jk dark theme and it worked, except for :the clock (it FCs),and the keyboard(letters are pretty much white ,and the keyboard also comes out white), also the Toggles disappered .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
Okay, thanks. The clock can be fixed by going into application manager and clearing cache and data. As far as the toggles go, had you flashed the toggle mod for optimal?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Yeah if the toggles were gone, all you should have to do is reflash the toggles zip in recovery.

Great rom. Running smooth. Got Xposed working and everything. Thanks for the work!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nsane457:
Xposed installation works fine after uninstalling MyVerizon and deleting "/system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk"and the "/system/framework/arm" directory. I was able to reinstall MyVerizon from play store.

Great ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kgoroway:
Updated yesterday. Everything I was concerned about losing (wifi passwords, SMS/MMS, call history, etc.) was easily recovered from my Titanium backup.

The only thing I had to re-do manually was my "other" accounts. Google, Yahoo, etc.

Also, I restored my launcher too early. Nova was very happy to find it's own backup and try to restore all of my screen layouts, but MANY of the apps weren't installed yet, so that was a big fail. In the end, 15 minutes of re-configuring, and I'm good to go.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pandit1975:
Hello, how did you get the xposed to install. Some reason i can not install it, says framework isn't installed.

I installed the XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and then used flashfire to install the zip file from http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463

I thought maybe flashfire had some issues and tried safestrap and still the same issue.

I am on VZW S5 with locked bootloader.

Does anyone know if flashing Viper4Android would work on this ROM like 4.4.4? Or instant death & regret??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
No death and regret... it just isn't compatible. Unless you have a DevEd with an selinux permissive kernel. Otherwise it just won't work.

I noticed that I no longer have safestrap as well. I installed safestrap, install recovery.

press Reboot to recovery, I don't get an option to go to recovery.

I installed busybox as well.

Can someone assist?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
Evilryry - After installing Xposed, were you able to install Xprivacy? I got Xposed installed, but when I go to insall the Xprivacy module and reboot, I got boot looped at the "Samsung" icon.

Edit : Installed Xprivacy v 3.6.16 seemed to work now.

Phenomenal battery life!

Hey guys just wanted to say the battery life more than doubled on this ROM and it is amazing, I have tested other ROMS and it does not compare, everything is fast as well, I have been running it for over a week and great performance as well. Thanks Bigbot96

I installed the apk. The zip came from http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463 (I don't remember the v2 or v3 versions so if it doesn't work try with the first file shown). I flashed an older kernel in download mode (to reenable safestrap). Booted into safestrap. Flashed the zip. Rebooted back into download mode. Reflashed the OC4 kernel. Rebooted (took about 10-15 minutes to boot).

Awesome!!

Well I flashed this Monday, came from another 5.0 ROM. So far its been GREAT!! Very smooth, great battery life!!

I have 2 questions, I MISS the flash light as a pull down toggle. Is there any way to get that?? Is anyone doing anything else for that?? SECONDLY is there any flashable toggle mods, like a different look than stock, that will work with this ROM? Like a different theme??

Either way GREAT work. I was running Optimal when you had it on 4.4.4 but switch because I wanted 5.0. SO glad you updated yours to 5.0!!!!

THANKS!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Flashable toggle mod in op, and I *believe* dark theme from jrkruse oc4 rom thread works for this rom too. Backup beforehand in case it doesn't. That theme includes 3minit battery mod too.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Check the Galaxy S4 and S5 forums a lot of devs have different layer themes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
I did flashed the "OC4 extra toggle.zip" included in the install instructions for this ROM. Should that include the flash light? Maybe I did it wrong then...

And I did see Jrkruse's theme, I like the toggles just not the rest of the theme. Looking just for toggles.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
Yes, you should see it in the pulldown after you flash that zip. You'll probably have to change the default ones you already have, as it is in the extended dropdown.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Yea it wasn't there. I just re-flashed it again and now all the toggles are there. Not sure what happen the first time but all is working now!! Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fukenbiker:
Thanks BigBot96

I was running your 4.4.4 OptimalROM in a ROM slot. I heeded your advice when I flashed your 5.0 OptimalROM directly into the red, instead of a green ROM slot, in SS.

Anyway, my battery life improved dramatically. Do you think running in a slot caused my battery drain? Or is it the new update you did that doubles battery life? Maybe a little of both?

Anyway, I read where I have to use Odin to flash kernels two and fro, to get back to SafeStrap. SS is still in there, right? And I just flash to NCG Kernel to make it show up?

Doesn't matter much, your newest 5.0 OptimusROM is def. 'optimus'. I am happy and I believe I'm done flashing. (Yeah right, what a lie, if they ever crack the bootloader I'll be a flash junkie again.)

Anyhow, thanks, nice job.

First off, thank you for your hard work on this ROM. It runs great. My only complaint, that I'm hoping someone can help with, is the fact that Exchange Services is simply eating my battery life. I have it set to push, and it is only syncing my email and calendar. To give an example of usage differences between ROMs... before flashing to this version of Optimal ROM I was using version 12-6. On that version, it would use maybe 5-7% battery life being off the charger throughout the night. However, last night it used over 25%, most of which was from Exchange Services. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
I have also noticed this. I changed my sync settings to 15mins VS push but would love to see an improvement with push...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Install wake lock detector and set the view to wake up triggers. Tell me where exchange sits and how many triggers it has.

Unfortunately it's not exactly something I can fix since it's mostly stock.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
Now that I have had the pleasure of running the latest release, please accept my thanks for a job well done. Like it's predecessor's, its working great! In still in discovery mode as there are some additional Scooby snacks in lollipop.

Best of the weekend!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chaoticyeshua:
I understand. I actually went ahead and just purchased Nine from Google Play. It's an alternative email client, with a lot more features than the stock email client. It also, thankfully, does not use Exchange Services. I was able to freeze Email and Exchange Services in Titanium Backup and the problem is now resolved.

Thanks for the information, and for your hard work on this ROM. I really appreciate it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fukenbiker:
Fine work BigBot96. I am happy enough that I put the S5 in download, fired up Odin, plugged in, flashed the NCG kernel to get to Safe Strap so I could delete the ROM slot partition to free up space on the internal memory. Put the OC4 kernel into Odin, flashed it, and now it looks like a daily driver. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Hi, I install this rom and it is work great so far,but I cant reboot to custom recovery and cant see safestrap. Reinstall safestrap no luck. Any ideas?

You have to odin back to an earlier firmware to access SafeStrap.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snowrelyt:
I recommend NK2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zenia:
You mean leave NK2 kernel,Because i try again steel no luck with recovery

OK it is work that way thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snowrelyt:
Using this exact kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MeetFace:
Awesome, ill see if I can duplicate.

Confirmed.

1. Install Viper as system App & start up app and load preferred version of driver

2. Update build.prop:

## ViPER4Android Build.prop Tweaks

lpa.decode=false

lpa.releaselock=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

tunnel.decode=false

3. Install Script Manager and have it run this script at boot ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60998731&postcount=1409 )

4. Reboot & allow a minute or so for Script Manager to execute

5. Profit

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MeetFace:
You'll only have safestrap after flashing a KK kernel in Odin. And you probably won't be able to boot into your phone until you then flash a lollipop kernel in Odin.

For now, every time we want to flash something, we have to play tea parties with the kernels back and forth using Odin.

I don't see a music player in this rom, whats the best one??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
The stock player is included. But I use PowerAmp
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fukenbiker:
poweramp

Morinzo, thanks for the idea of a music player.

To the others wondering, MeetFace said it best. If you use Odin on the computer to flash the NCG kernel like everyone else has to do, just to use towelroot, we can get to safe strap and back, I've done it, by flashing kernels back and forth, and now I'm not newbie anymore. It's a work around thing and a learning curve.

I used Android Debugging Bridge, and sideloaded a debloat script I found in xda here and it removed the music player as well as S health (OptimusROM may have removed S health, not sure which got rid of it) and a whole bunch more. I don't have to use TB to freeze anything now to make stuff go away.

Thanks killa408shark I'll be testing the PowerAmp as much as I can, during it's 'trial period'. Looks like one of those paid for apps to have it all work, how far off am I? Did you end up buying it? Just curious, beg pardon for breaking forum rules, and being long winded.
