I'm also a bit confused about that operation.... would I basically only backup system and not have issues bricking my phone(in theory)? Not Dalvik, Not Cache - just system. Because I tried to do it including data but it tries to backup 10 Gigs of Data.

Also, do you know why when I do a format data on rom slot-1, it wipes EVERYTHING like a did a bona-fide factory reset? That's another thing unfamiliar to me. I'm just used to Agat's custom recovery. Then the SS thread gives directions to NOT install on the STOCK Slot and here you say the opposite.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] opeth2112:
Got another thing missing that I have no idea what the specific name of it is, maybe speech to text? My mic works fine as I can use the mic icon on the google search bar, but I'm missing the mic icon on my keyboard that I could use when I was texting or typing somewhere else. I'm still on v5 so not sure if this has been added since, but wanted to check. Thanks for the awesome work!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
There are problems with the ROM slots as stated in post 2 in the SS thread. As long as you make a backup of the stock slot you have nothing to worry about. I've been using SS for quite a while on several phones and haven't bricked one yet. When you run backup just check system and data, depending on how many apps you have it shouldn't be that big. Mine is a bout 3 gigs. As for formatting the ROM slot I have no clue, I never use them because they are buggy. I'm not the only one who recommends flashing to the stock slot, most of the devs agree on this because of the problems they cause.

I fixed that problem in V7, there were apps that were not updated correctly. I'm letting Google Play store update the apps now instead of manualy updating them in the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] opeth2112:
Fantastic - thanks again for the work!

RICK'S ROM

I'm not a user who downloads every latest or nightly versions.

I installed Rick's v3 on my VZ S5, and I've been really satisfied with the features and performance of that version.

If the bootloader really gets unlocked, then I may try Rick's current version at that time.

Thanks for a great ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
First of all, really great ROM. Thank you.

I was wondering if I can turn off the infinite scroll? I don't want MyMagazine active, but I would like to disable the infinite scroll option if possible. If not, no big deal. thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You can but you have to edit the feature.xml in the system/csc folder. Open the file with the text editor thru FX file explorer and look for the following line a few lines up from the bottom under the SEC Launcher header and change false to true.

<CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I have uploaded another build (8) and took out a few tweaks because they were slightly slowing down the ROM. It's not a huge deal but I had to test out my new upload speed. It only took me 10 to15 minutes to upload the entire ROM :laugh: If you would like to get rid of the tweaks yourself let me know. I noticed the music would skip when the screen blacked out and this fixed that and my benchmark score went up some.

EDIT: If anyone wants to take the tweaks out that I removed from build 8 navigate to system/etc/init.d and delete the following four files...

95dalviktocache

95dalvikvm

95internetspeed

95lmkconfiguration

This is the only difference from 7 to 8

Hi,

I am having major Bluetooth and Wifi connectivity issues with your Rom... Any reason why that would be? Alliance Rom works great and so does Stock but not yours... do love the rom and features though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
What is the safest way to update your ROM? Should I do a Titanium Backup and then factory reset the Stock Rom slot, then install your Rom, then when I set my phone backup I can run titanium backup to get all my settings back?

I bought the paid version of titanium backup, but never used it. So not sure really how to backup and restore my settings with that, or if that is the right way to do it with your Rom. I came from a galaxy nexus where titanium backup didn't work, so I have never used it.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Kc0r8y:
So far works flawless. Thanks for a great rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If you did a dirty flash or are not using the stock slot that is your problem. It works great for me and many others. There are no reasons for bluetooth or WiFi not working properly, especially if you are on build 8. If you are not on build 8 follow the instructions in the post a couple up from this but I doubt that's the problem.

You can try Titanium but only restore user apps. I have the paid version too but only restore one of my games, everything else I start from scratch. I always recommend backing up the stock slot, clean wipe it and install to that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
I think I clean wiped the stock slot, but I am really not sure if I did or not...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Clean wipe is swipe for the factory reset, then go in advanced wipe and check system, data, cache and davlik cache.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
I agree. Not a single issue yet! Great work!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] amaury48:
Would like to spice up the notification icons like the ones in this screenie, is that possible? They are similar to the icons in the Real Icon Theme from my S3.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
They look great but I can't theme to save my life. If you know how you are more than welcome to or let me know how and I'll include it in the next build. I've been trying to get a black keyboard working but I haven't had much luck with it. It works if you flash it to the ROM but force closes when I include it in the new ROM. Frustrating.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trikotret:
I have a black Google KB apk. I didn't have to flash. All I did was install like an app. I can link you and you can try [emoji3]

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ezas:
Very satisfied so far. I like that you only included the bare minimum GAPPS. I only use Gmail so it works great for me.

I'm having some issue with quick tiles not sticking but i'll look at that later. Just wanted to report that this ROM was what I hoped it would be, speed is good, install was easy, etc. Wifi, 4g and GPS working great. First GPS lock was fast even though I was inside.

Great default wall paper.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thanks but I tried that one already, I like the Samsung keyboard because it has the top row numbers. I got way used to it from the Note 3 I had. I'm gonna have to keep trying to theme I guess. LOL

That's kind of weird mine stick fine. Are you on build 8? I did have a problem with those in build 6 or 7, I can't remember.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] amaury48:
I'm not a themer either, would love to learn, just don't have the time to devote to it at this point in my life. Maybe someone can chime in and help out.

Please don't junk this great Rom up with themes. I love this theme. It's great.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I have no intentions to. The only thing I really would like is a black Samsung keyboard and maybe 8sms for the messages. I would make it so it can be uninstalled in case people don't want it. Other than that I like the rest so there isn't much incentive for any drastic changes. I'm glad you like it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] highwaybandit:
Seems to run really smooth does viper make the sound louder? Or just tweaks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ezas:
There is a feature to make the speaker louder. And while there is no actual feature to make the headphone output louder there are multiple ways to do it with other features.

I'm on 8, but like I said I haven't played with it much. I could be missing something simple.

Update: quick tiles are working fine. Just had to suss out where to do what.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
the Rom is great but I miss the LTE option under Network mode ,maybe that's why I'm getting the H+ icon instead the 4G icon .

Edit : I installed the S5 At&t version on the Verizon S5 and I got the 4G icon here in Lebanon .

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I would have to say the missing LTE had to do with your current service provider and the tower. I believe if you have the new H+ service it negates the 4GLTE.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] machhho:
Thanks for replying and big big thanks for the Rom , I agree with you that this has to do with my current service provider and the tower but why is that I'm getting the 4G icon using the At&t version over my Verizon phone , That's why I was wondering if that issue is because of the missing LTE option under the Network mode .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Probably because the At&t ROM doesn't support H+. As for the missing LTE on my ROM I'm not sure why you are missing it. It shows up on mine..

Updated OP with V9. This is for the new NE9 firmware ONLY thanks to [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]. DO NOT install this if you are not on NE9. There is no download booster or 4 way reboot menu in this build. I might not include the download booster in future builds because I do not use it. Also I have included SMS 8 for an alternative MMS. You can uninstall it if you would rather use the stock messaging app.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hsbadr:
Odin-flashable NE9/NCG firmware components/images (kernel/modem/recovery) are available from here. For Retail Edition, you can upgrade to NE9 firmware by flashing this (after flashing the ROM in Safestrap, reboot to Download Mode & flash G900VVRU1ANE9_Firmware.tar.md5 via Odin).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Thanks, I'll add this to the install instructions in a little while. I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
how are you trying to include the keyboard? you trying to include the themed apk or just the theme to the existing apk? the stock samsung keyboard is finnicky.. do you have a link to the flashable zip? sometimes the theme zips just flash the themed files and arent the whole apk..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lfd1351:
Awesome rom first one I have installed for my S5 and no issues!:highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I have permission for this and tried this with no luck putting them in the ROM. They work fine if I flash them after the ROM is installed but they FC when I include them in the ROM. I even tried swapping ping files but no luck there either. I've been having issues compiling lately. I think it's the apk tool version.

I'm not sure but I would have to say if you are only restoring user apps you should be fine.

Try settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode gsm/UTMS is in there.

Great, that's what I like to hear.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Emmikem:

Can someone let me know the bennefit of the new firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Here is the PDF from Verizon if it helps.... There is a new modem if you had any connection issues it should help. Honestly I haven't noticed any significant differences.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tacopimp:
Ok. I may hold off a little bit on updating then if there isn't much of a difference.

Can you tell me why when I call someone a little pop-up comes up and says "sending tones"?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
It's the international dialer. I've been thinking about going back to the stock (white) one because it might be causing no audio on some calls. I'm not sure if it's that or just Verizon.

FanstastIc ROM so far

Thank you Misterxtc!

I have been running the AllianceROM for a few days. It's a great ROM and I liked all the mods I could make - resulting in almost a total re-themed ROM. And was happy with the results. But there was one place where I could not change the colors - the phone UI and contacts screens. (At least I couldn't figure out how to do it.)

While I don't really like the Samsung turquoise color, I'd much rather have it than a white background. So when I saw the phone dialer and contacts screens in your OP, I couldn't wait to get home tonight and flash.

Followed your directions, and all went well. Titanium backup is updating all my user apps right now, but before I started that, I checked the dialer and contacts screens and they are fantastic.

Not only do I prefer having a dark background because I just like it better, it helps me see better. I have eyesight problems and having light fonts against dark backgrounds are much easier to read. (And maybe saves a little on battery use...)

THANK YOU MISTERXTC, Beanstown106 for the NCG base, hsbadr for the NE9 base and everyone else who produced this great ROM. Thanks to everyone!

Oh yea - and about THAT boot animation... well, I DO like it; even if it is somewhat "flashy"- I plan to keep it... for now...:cool:

Work on S5 Dev Ed?

I've had the dev edition for a while, and have been content with root and xposed for a while now. But there seem to be some good ROMs out and wanted to give them a try. I first used WizzleWom, but SU crapped out and all of the ROM features didn't seem to flash properly. I was able to get back to by backup without any issues and SU is behaving normally again.

Is this ROM safe to flash on the Dev Edition? I am on NCG at the moment.

Thanks for all your work - the thread is quite long and your involvement in updating your ROM and responding to replies is great.

Hope I can flash it.

Rick
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Honestly I'm not 100% sure. It doesn't have SafeStrap installed so you're good to go with that. It's the same base as this one witch is safe but I would double check first. The instructions for dev edition are there as well.

Title Boot Loop

I've been trying to get this thing going for V9 but I am running into problems. I checked for solutions in all 27 pages here and 11 pages on JasminRoms page (since they have the same flash process.)

I fhalshed V9 and I immediately boot back into download mode to flash the ne9.tar.md5 file. Odin says pass but i ended up in a boot loop on the splash screen for about ten minutes.

Tried it again, rebooted after flashing the rom, booted up normally (hangs on the splash screen) boot back into download mode, flash via odin...and now it hangs at the splash screen again.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Standard edition of the VZW S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This is the way I did it....

1) Odined back to stock NCG

2) Took the OTA update to NE9

3)Flashed NCG firmware via Odin and rerooted, install busybox, SS and update SU

4)Flashed NE9 firmware then installed the ROM

Try these directions if the ones on the OP are giving you problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sandman795:

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you!

Only problem I'm having is when I receive a phone call, fc in ui calling
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes, I was getting the same error and unfortunately that means I have to go back to the stock dialer in my next build. It's fine on the NCG version 8 but with NE9 the international dialer is a problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I had to pull version 9 because there were issued with the phone and some mods. I posted a version 10 but I currently do not have download booster, 4 way reboot menu, flashlight or the international dialer in V10 but have added a super bright 3 way torch widget. I'm working on getting the mods back but it will take some time. Sorry.

It looks like it will take a while unless I can get the files to compile correctly again. Hate to burst your bubble but this has been giving me problems since the update. I'll get it figured out eventually. Hopefully when I get my new desktop here and set up it will make things easier than the Windows 8.1 laptop I've been using for the last few months. Next week I'll be building and setting up a desktop I ordered yesterday.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mobyj:
V-10 is OK for now then? Just no mods right!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes, it's running great on my end. I only have the remove cd installer and remove tether provision mods as of now but I did install a super bright flashlight widget. It's from HTC and has 3 light intensity settings. Just make sure it's off if you try it, it takes three pushes to turn off all the way. As for build 10 it's debloated, 4x5 launcher installed, infinite scroll, ringtones added and the wallpaper is changed to my blue one. The mods will come eventually but I'm currently trying Windows 7 on my laptop to see if that helps with my compiling issue. As of yet I only have Win7 installed and updated. It's gonna take me a few days at least to get this and the new desktop set up. I'll make flashable zips for the mods plus post a new build when it's finished.

I'm running this ROM and I just got wireless charging for the S5

the problem I have (and I'm trying to figure out if it's ROM or settings or hardware related problems). When it charges to 100% it turns off the charging, I use the phone as my bedside alarm clock so the screen is on dimly all night long, and herein lies the problem - if it's done charging at midnight - it then starts draining the battery for the next 6 hours so often I'll wake up to it being at like 50,60, or 70% charged.

anyone else experience this? am I just asking too much from my wireless charging (if so I'll just go back to plugging it in)

I believe this has something to do with your charging pad. I read something similar in the wireless charging section.
