Any one have a idea how to fix Android pay on the 15.5 build. It does not let you add a card saying you are not running something that is Android
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
AP does not work with root :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SoccerRef12:
Have you tried to disable root in SU, set up AP, then enable root again in SU? I don't use AP, but I think those are the steps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tydiamond11:
I did that but it still did not wrok. But it did when ap first came out and now no I think it may have to do with this rom. Thanks anyway
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] QweS84:
You can try to hide root from AP with xposed modules.

Now my question, is it okay that my charge going off for 6-9% per night? As far as I remember there wasn't such at stock. Should I calibrate battery, do hard reset or reinstall rom? Battery also often heat with no reason. Maybe I m just paranoid, pls tell me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tydiamond11:
Is it that your battery only goes down 6%-9% at night ? If do that is not that bad lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chopstix9:
I can confirm that I've gotten two warranty replacement phones in the past month and both came in w/BOC4
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elpesao23:
do i follow the instructions on page 1 for BOC4?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Yes. Use the guide that states..."If coming from lollipop firmware" :)

Hey fellas, been running this rom with 0 issues since it's release. Recently my screen rotation has stopped working. Yes, I've turned it on for those I know who were going to ask :). I finally just booted into safestrap and wiped cache/dalvik and it started working again. Ten minutes later, phone was asleep and I went to use it and boom! Not working again. Researching online a lot of people have ran into this issue on stock non-rooted phones. Some have even done full wipes and went back to KitKat with no resolve. I almost want to say this is a hardware issue but why would it work again after wiping cache? Thanks for the help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
Hello,

I don't have an answer but a couple of thoughts. It seems from your description that this may be an external software induced problem. I'm wondering if one of your installed apps is causing the issue? I mention this as I had an issue with the Dolphin web browser that was causing rotation issues just a month ago. It was contained to the app in my case but it doesn't stretch the imagination to think an app in the back ground could be causing this.

I'd unload all the installed apps, wipe cache, and do a one by one install to isolate the cause. You may find the root cause through this method and report it back to the developer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
if its still not working power off the phone, pop the back off and pull the sim. try to restart it, put the sim back in, wipe and reflash. Its worked for me twice
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] israphial:
Does this ROM support and run Layers?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbernardini:
Have any of you found a way to consistently disable DVFS? My settings stick for a while, then they just randomly change, usually to the extreme low and high ends.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xWAKESx:
Just installed this ROM with my Galaxy S5. Working well. Not sure if battery is draining faster? or if I just think it is. Anyone have thoughts on this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
I had observed similar until the phone completed its indexing. Then it settled down and had great battery life on this ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xWAKESx:
Thanks. I just calibrated my battery (DimitrieRetezatu helped me out greatly with that information). Phone just died after full charge. Going to charge and fully. Reboot and give it a try. Thanks for the reply!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wekurtz74:
would anyone know why I might get an md5 check error while trying to flash in odin 3.09 the G900V_OD5 boot loader tar? I checked the checksum using another program, downloaded multiple times from multiple mirrors and keep getting this error.

EDIT: Nevermind, I dont know what I did but it now works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ilpleasu:
Was wondering should I be able to open recovery using SS after flashing this Rom, I followed all of the steps in post 1 but now I have no SS recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chopstix9:
You should always be able to use the NI2 flasher to get back to SS. Then before exiting SS remember to flash the kernel you are running your phone on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ilpleasu:
Thank you sooooooo much for your reply. I didn't understand that but I do now, have a blessed day. ...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Hey all sorry, I've been suuuuper busy. Let me get caught up...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] corporal_hades:
I was just about to redo my phone as its been acting up a bit, but if you have plans to release a new ROM for maybe BOK3 version I'll wait. If not then I'll go ahead with my plans.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chadwick108:
Odex or deoxed

I first installed the ODEX version because I use a lot of the samsung bloat. I then wanted to try the ODEX and got much better battery life from it so I think I found a keeper.... Now just a way to get android pay to work!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Beeko:
Anyone able to get xposed to work? When I flash the framework in SS it doesn't show installed in the app
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] saintanthony:
There is a special build for S5 Lollipop, I will try to find it for you.

Here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Beeko:
That's the one I flashed. Except I flashed it after the rom was booted and after the xposed app was installed. Yet it says I font have any framework installed.

EDIT: Figured out that I had installed the wrong Xposed installer app. Installed the apk from that post and everything is good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Just tossed this ROM on after following instructions in the recent "root for bok3" thread.

My question is...can I add something in like CM's Privacy Guard? I used the **** out of that app on my S3 and I want to try to get this S5 to where I want it before I go through the trouble of getting it activated to replace my S3 on StraightTalk.

ETA: Which xposed downloads do I get for this phone? Pretty sure they have a privacy module I can install.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] purplepenguin:
Yes I am using this ROM + Xposed Framework + XPrivacy. I think it drains battery quite a bit, but I am a follower of Chris Soghoian, Jacob Appelbaum, read a lot of the Snowden leaks, etc, so privacy is important to me. It's been a while, it took reading some flow chart and a couple trials to find out which Xposed installer to use.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chadwick108:
fingerprint security on deox

can anyone running deox try to see if there fingerprint scanner will work? was running odex but deox does better for battery life for me.

thanks in advance!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
I set up my fingerprint deal the other day but I don't actually use it. Setup went without a hitch through all those repeated scans.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
No issues here with fingerprint.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] equisbox:
Deknoxed? I too just installed this rom, rooted the day after jrkruse release the root for OK3. Install went smoothly, however i keep getting "Security notice, Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes." -- I though that was because knox. How can I get rid of it? trying to search this thread but i keep getting error and can't read all those pages.

edit: --figured it out . deleting the folder did the trick so nvm
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Is there any non-third party app way to further customize the notification LED and disable the screen waking up on notification? Can this be done through build.prop editing(never tried this before)? I'm finding myself really missing CM12.1 on my S3. :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
This can also happen if your firmware is not up to date with the ROM base.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jjdavis699:
Non third party....I don't know man. I know Light Flow does the notification LED but that's third party..hmmmm..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boatguypat:
I just updated to 15-5 from OR 12 something. (Yes, about time). I though the old one toggled the flashlight with the volume key when locked - does this version not do that? Only flashlight toggle via soft-button? Is there any other "list" of features other than the changelog?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
I can't seem to find a flashlight toggle anywhere in this ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gedavis:
Did you flash the extra toggles zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
I did not. Is there a special process involved there?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gedavis:
Nope just flash it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] loden27:
When installing by flashfire knox saved, this firmware is multilingual?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
Just wondering and, I'm sorry if thus is a qustion that shouldn't be ask here.

Do you have any plans in updating this Rom to OK3?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
There was a mention a couple pages back that the ROM would be updated, but no specific timeline was discussed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
Oh I see, thanks !!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csorrentini:
So if Iam currently on OK3 what KERNEL file do I have to download?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DigiPooch:
I'm actually trying to find the answer to the same question using the thread the admin linked to. Not sure if it's OK to flash the ROM as is without flashing 0G5 kernel or whatever or if I flash the ROM and immediately downgrade the kernel or something. Please let me know if you happen to find out the correct way. Thank you in advance... I will keep searching
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
I'm on an OK3 S5 and followed the steps in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370 - before installing OptimalROM via SafeStrap and then flashing the SafeStrap kernel before rebooting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
i am all ready rooted so do i still need to flash the ni2 kernal our do i just install the rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
it would be helpfull if everything we need was in the downloads section of this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Uh, they are in the 1st section of the OP. Just read through the whole thing. It's clearly there. Also, be sure to flash JrKrsue's kernels and firmware. Since they don't have the OE1 and up bootloaders. Also, if I'm not mistaken, flash the OG5 versions. Because that's what this ROM is based off of...someone may correct me if I'm mistaken.

Also, go here and follow the steps in Painiac's thread. It's veryknowledgeable and helpful http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-painiacs-essential-guide-to-t3319848

ok ALL50 here is my question i have allrady used JrKrsue's working root method for BOK3 verizon update and i flashed NK2 KERNEL AND THE VERIZON BOK3 KERNEL so do i still need to flash anything else our can i just install the rom with safestarp recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
install the rom with safestarp recovery?[/QUOTE]

Do a clean install and Install the 15_5 ROM via SS, then install his OG5_fw_NoBootloader zip via SS and then reboot. It will take 15 minutes or more to boot to Home screen. This is the method I do when installing ROM's, I'd by flashing the Firmware that the ROM is built on. Happy ROM'n

ok ill try this and let you know how it goes

When you say over the OTA updates, are you saying the firmware/version update? JrKruse or someone else may have to chime in on this matter

I never had anything like that happen. Wish I could help you on that issue, if it is trying to do the OTA.

Misread your post about you are receiving the OTA. Maybe someone can chime in for us both to know why...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FestiveFloralPond:
Hey, I think you are supposed to install the OG5_FW via Odin, not SafeStrap. Below is a copy paste quote from the first post of this thread (emphasis added). Let me know how it goes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Yep, you're correct. I didn't know right off hand. I believe he should be able to flash JrKrsue's flashable OG5 'no bootloader' version. I have and didn't have any issues. My apologies crazycranagelo for telling you to flash via SS instead of Odin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
ok so when i go to about phone it now says this android version 5.0 baseband version g900vvru2bog5 build number optimalrom 15-5 however system updates is still there and im still getting verizon ota update massages and it keeps trying to get me to do the ota update is there anyway i can force remove system updates from my phone
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
The ROM's are usually built to remove/freeze the OTA updates. For some reason either this ROM doesn't or something is not making it 'stick'. There is something that you can do by freezing using Titanium Backup, so let me look into my files and I'll get back with you. While I'm doing this, can you search the Q&A and General sections? Thank you

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

If you have Titanium Backup, look for "SDM 1.0" and freeze it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FestiveFloralPond:
I have kind of a long shot suggestion, but did you use safestrap to wipe the phone, then go back in safestrap and choose advanced wipe and select everything except microSD card, before using safestrap to flash the zip file?

I am wondering if maybe an update file was left over from your previous time, and is still having some kind of effect. I never got OTA updates from my phone before, so I can't tell from my end.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
That may be worth a shot. Matter of fact, I'd do to wipes back to back before installing the ROM. I always do this just to be sure....and didnt even think of asking him...:D Thanks for the suggestion.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
no i just flashed optimal in safestrap

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

well great not the phone won't go past the samsung galaxy s5 screen when you trun the phone wow you just missed uo my phone dude thanks a lot!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Did flash the OG5 kernel after installing the ROM when exiting SS? If not flash the kernel via Odin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
yes i did the whipe then reinstalled the rom in safestrap and then flashed the og5 kernel in odin and now my phone won't go past the samsung galaxy s5 android screen after doing that
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Did you flash the .tar kernel via Odin? Flash the NI2 tar kernel via Odin to see if you can get back into SS
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
how there is no ni2 custom kernel on here

---------- Post added 25th February 2016 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 24th February 2016 at 11:54 PM ----------

the ni2 kernel he tells us ti install is an apk file where can i find an custom ni2 kernel.tar so i can flash it in odin? reflashing the .tar kernel did nouthing to get it out of the boot loop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
No, not a custom kernel. You flash this kernel to get into SS. Look through the threads for the lollipop safestrap. There's a NI2 tar file to flash through odin to get you into SS

Here's the link for the NI2 tar kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553221
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
flashed the ni2 kernel in odin phone still is stuck in bootlloop win't come out of it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Flash the OG5 kernel tar that's posted in the thread via Odin and see if you can get anywhere
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
nope still stuck in bootloop noun of this is working
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Hateto say but just start from scratch on rooting your phone. Go to JrKrsue's thread on rooting OE1 and up and reroot. Sorry bud. I wish I knew exactly what was flashed before you rebooted and exactly what you flashed. Still don't know why no one else is getting involved to help you better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
im gonna so if i can go back to stock and install kitkat 4.4.2 and thin root it and then try to go up to 5.0 and see what happens unless you know of a 4.4.2 custome rom that has verizon ota takken out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I know for sure Beanstown's AllianceRom build2 does. Ran the crap out of that ROM...hope it works out for you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
can we be friends your so very helpfull and a nice person wish i ran in to you on here when i rooted my s5 with towelroot on 4.4.4 kit kat on nk2 kernel and how i could have kept it without getting verizon ota
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
That's cool. I guess somewhere along the flashing, something went wrong...you are officially on a version OD5 and below right? Nothing OE1 and up? I always Odin back to NCG and root from there. I haven't used JrKrsue's new working root method for OE1 and up. So if you used that I couldn't tell you what may have happened
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
no go bro it would not let me install 4.4.2 kitkat in odin got a fail i still can't get my phone out of the bootloop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
What was you're phone originally on before you tried to install Optimal and JrKrsue's stock OK3 rooted ROM? Was it either of OE1 thru OK3? If so, you're going to have to start from scratch by using the steps Jrkruse has posted in his OG5, OE1 OK3 Confirmed working Root method. And if you're wanting to flash a KitKat Rom, i believe it will be different since your phone has the OE1 and up bootloader. Also, respectfully saying, you/we may need to start posting this issue in JrKrsue's OE1 root thread. That way someone will see these issues and lend a hand. I'll help you as much as I can. Respectfully saying, i don't want to tie up this thread discussing root and ROM install issues....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
i was on bok3 b4 i installed optimil rom im downloading 5.0 bok3 from sam mobile now hopefully i can install that then use jkruse working root method
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Are you using this to start from scratch? This is from JrKrsue's thread https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275799044
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FestiveFloralPond:
It's interesting that your phone got stuck on the galaxy s5 screen, because so did mine when I installed OptimalRom.

If I were to take BigBot's instructions from the first post and supplement them with my experience, here is what it would look like (bolded items are things I added from my experience). Please note that this extra stuff I essentially had to glean from posts that other people made about their experiences elsewhere in this thread.

Start on Android 4.4.2 (NCG), with Root and safestrap.

Download *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 to your computer

Download OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip to your SD Card

Reboot to SafeStrap and MAKE A BACKUP!!!

Use Safestrap to Wipe, it will reboot

[*]Use Safestrap and select advanced wipe, and select everything except microSD card

Use Safestrap to Flash OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip and then reboot to Download mode / Bootloader mode / ODIN mode

Use Odin to Flash *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 via ODIN in AP slot. It will auto reboot, but it will get stuck on the Galaxy S5 screen. Wait 20 minutes, then pull the battery, and start up in Downloading mode.

Use Odin to Flash G900V_OD5_Bootloader.tar.md5 via ODIN in AP slot and reboot system. It will get stuck in the boot screen again. Wait 20 minutes, then hold down volume down, home, and lock (while it is powered on and stuck in boot screen), and you will get to the maintenance menu. Select factory reset, and it will get stuck on the boot screen again. After about 10 minutes of waiting, you will get to the setup wizard and everything will be normal.

I don't know if the extra stuff I had to do was just supposed to be common knowledge or what. But it does seem like you've had a similar experience to me. Up to you if you want to try it. I think it might be a bit of a characterization to say that I bricked your phone when all I really did was suggest to follow the instructions in BigBot's first post.
