[MENTION=222328]dave[/MENTION], here is the process I used.

This is Skizzy034's work, replace the meta-inf folder in XtreStoLite with a meta-inf folder from a ROM without Aroma. I used the meta-inf from Alliance ROM. When you first flash this ROM, make sure and do not wipe system, because if you do and this ROM doesn't flash, it will hang at the flashing screen and you will have to Odin back to stock.

I only wiped data, cache and dalvik cache at first, flashed the ROM and everything booted fine. I then went back into recovery and wiped everything so I could have a clean install. Everything is good now, very fast and smooth!

Edit...Be sure to thank [MENTION=2418400]Skizzy034[/MENTION]. He has the second post on page 1of this thread.

What needs to happen for CM11 to be an option? I miss it from my S2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
Many, Many things. First the bootloader needs to be unlocked so you can run a different kernel. Until that happens you will not be able to run CM.

Sorry about that.

[Q] Can I ODIN G900F firmware to G900A?

Question:

I have an AT&T (G900A), can I ODIN (G900F) onto it? I don't want (need) root, but I want Chinese language as the system language, which is not available in the stock G900A firmware. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Roseysdaddy:
Are the scientists working on this technology?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
in a nutshell, NO, the only way to get a G900F ROM on your device is to root, install safestrap and flash a custom ROM based on the G900F firmware (there are several n the forums)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chris17922:
why is it so dead here

has anyone tried any new roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] btort1:
Are the custom roms installed by Safestrap faster than the stock rom? If so, is it EXTREMELY faster or just a tiny bit faster?

Everybody knows touchwiz LAGS, especially my default sms app (Hangouts is much faster on my ATT S5)

If it's barely a difference it might not be worth it for me....

Does alliance ROM work for the att s5 ng3? I thought its only for unlocked bootloaders. I heard you need to flash in twrp...will safestrap work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
Yes, no and yes. I've flashed over to Alliance ROM with no issues on My S5 which is on the NG3 baseband and kernel. It was a great ROM but I found myself going back to Dynamic Kat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Isriam:
actually scratch that.

so whats the story, can we flash any international g600f rom and then root it manually? i love the international stock roms with simple root. then i can add everything i want myself. any suggestions besides old ones like ND? I'd prefer NH6 if possible.

[Q] Kernel Flashing

Quick question: can SS be used to flash different (non-stock) kernels on the ATT S5?

For example, when I flash a ROM for G900F onto a G900A can I flash the kernel for the G900F as well or am I stuck with the official signed G900A kernels?

The reason I ask is that it would be nice to have a kernel would allow modules to loaded (ND3 kernel does not allow you to load modules such as cifs.ko)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] akitten007:
The locked bootloader prohibits flashing kernels that aren't "official". No custom kernels can be flashed at this time. That's why we can't have aosp/cm roms. But at least we have SS..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tamuin:
I'm confused

I am a bit confused as to what SS does; if it allows for the loading of an alternative recovery (TWRP) why doesn't it allow for the loading of an alternative kernel?

...if there is someone could explain what SS can (and can not) replace that would really help me out.

Certainly loading an alternative recovery is useful, but if it can't load an alternative kernel, then what does it do that couldn't be done with dd or tar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
I think if the bootloader on the AT&T S5 was unlocked SS wouldn't be conceived and we'd be using TWRP unmodified. With that said, if the bootloader was unlocked we would gain access to that particular partition of the phone to flash modified unofficial kernels. Its a security checkpoint for those partitions because carriers and manufacturers don’t want to have to support hacked phones because one of the kernel's main functions is to control that hardware. And if you were to flash a kernel other than an official kernel you could damage or brick the phone and AT&T doesn't want to pay that bill despite Android OS being opened source.

Its not a matter of what SS can or can't do. Its what can be done if the bootloader was unlocked. Blame AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
if your familiar with linux think of safestrap in the same manor as linux grub it is not replacing the BL it sits alongside it allowing you to install custom roms. if we had an unlocked BL we could install TWRP or CWM and thus kernels CM, AOKP etc. but since our BL is locked we need to have safestrap as a intermediary to the boot loader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tamuin:
Ok, that is what I was thinking - SS is a boot loader simular to grub. But if that is the case why can't SS load the kernel? Grub loads the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
its similar not the same, i was using that as an analogy SS only sits along side the bootloader sort of like highjacking it there is no way to flash a kernel with a locked BootLoader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
That's what I tried explaining. I thought I explained it well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
SS is better described as a bootloader emulator....allowing the push of system files...(a brilliant piece of code)..

SS resides at the system level...and is ignored in most cases by the OS security scans....and is also removed in a device wipe unlike the real bootloader...

We are able to use a kernel flash in downgrade root procedures....because that image is officially signed from samsung...and will pass the authentication check by the real bootloader....

If any other kernel version is used....the flash will fail....or the device will be damaged...

A kernel that is modified....cannot be officially signed...and cannot be flashed....sadly....g

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejrcrafter2:
Is it possible to switch either of these phones

http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Boost-Mobile-Prepaid-Phone/dp/B00HPP3VW2

http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Verizon-Prepaid-Phone-Only/dp/B00HPP3QD6

to Straight Talk Wireless? I know switching them to Republic or a few other CDMA-based networks won't work, but since Straight Talk has a Bring-Your-Own-Phone option, is there any way to switch it over to them? Rooting/flashing custom stuff is fine, as I will likely flash either CM or AOSP soon after I get it.

Thank you so much!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eg0097:
I read somewhere that flashing to straight talk is illegal and im the one who tested the republic wirless firmware :).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highspeedfelon:
use neither

I have Boost and called them yesterday about getting a carrier unlock code for the Moto G and they acted like they had no clue what so ever about what a carrier unlock code is and since motorola told me the phone is locked to boost then using it on ST will probably not happen. Verizon is probably just as bad about locking the phone to their network and refusing to give out the code. Now you may be able to get a unlock key from some one online which was what Motorola also was one of my options. Now with that being said ST does have a GSM version of the Moto G and you may just want to check into that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eg0097:
Verizon currently has all devices esn on their network kind of blacklisted. If you attempt to flash to page plus you will receive an error saying esn isnt clean. After 6 months of service verizon releases you form the black list, so i guess after 6 months the moto g can be flashed to companies that accept BYOP.

Shamelessly stolen from HoFo but this really does bug me...

Isn't a ballon message that steals a soft button every time you get a piece of junkmail a bit overkill when you can see just fine how many unread e-mails abound right on the today screen.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] polkadots:
OK...couple of issues at play here, I think.

First, I'm on a stock, non-rooted M8 - received the latest OTA update, but the issue(s) I have, I have been having since I started using the phone.

I have Google Voice installed and use it for my voicemail app - I did this on my S3 that I had (rooted, CM10 - I think it was CM10) and it worked great. I'd miss a call, get a voicemail, get a notification...I'd click the notification and it played the voicemail within the dialer app.

On my M8, I miss a call and get a notification for a VM...I click the VM notification and sometimes it does nothing, other times it takes me to my call history/log. No way to play the voicemail. I have to manually clear the notification, and then open the Google Voice app and listen to the voicemail.

FIRST - Is there a way to click the notification and have the voicemail play back natively?

SECOND - Assuming I can't do what I want I have an even bigger issue...Even after I listen to the VM in Google Voice I get notifications that I have new voicemails...They are "new" in that I never listened to them so GV views them as "new" but they're months (years?) old. Typical scenario...I miss a call, get a VM, open up GV and listen to the VM (maybe delete it, maybe not), and go about my business. No VM notifications...until I get a new text message...then my phone goes crazy and dings/beeps something like a dozen times and my VM notification is back. GV is alerting me to "new" VMs that I've long since dismissed the notification for...anything I can do about that?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] amallama:
i would just delete/remove them from google voice itself
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] UgetDeltWit:
Same deal here

Yeah this can be annoying. Hope someone knows a fix. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] polkadots:
Unfortunately, that doesn't really fix it...I went through and marked all "unread" as "read" and deleted numerous old Vmails...unless I delete ALL old Vmails, this happens. I could do that - but I sure as **** shouldn't have to do that. It's a bug.

It worked just fine on CM10 (and my GS3) - I'd get the notification when there was a new VM, I'd click the notification, and I'd listen to it in the 'stock' dialer/vmail app with CM10. No persistent notifications.

Hey guys, I have another S3 question. I've received an S3 from another customer and there's a bit of a different problem. The customer said it was stuck in a boot loop. It wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. So I took the phone, loaded up Odin, loaded up the tar and went to put the phone into download mode. When I got to the download screen it stayed for about 5 seconds then shut off. I tried it again, and this time I stayed for about a second and turned off. I tried booting into recovery mode but it wouldn't go into it. Can someone help me out? Or is this phone fried?

[Galaxy S II General] domini99:
I don't know what drug Apple put in their chargers, but i've always noticed my iPhone charging waaaay faster than my S2.

I even tried draining them both to 0%, and charging them with their original chargers. As soon as the iPhone was full of juice, the S2 was just about 50 or 60%

So i did some research about the safety of using the Apple charger, and it appeared to be all OK.

I'm going to end up buying a new battery anyways because i feel like mine has worn out, so i thought it was a good idea to plug the S2 in the fruitplug.

After i plugged the USB cable into the Apple charger, i immediately noticed the phone charging way faster. Waaay faster.

The phone does get a little warmer, but not too warm. I charged the phone from 8% to 100% in less than a hour!

I'm still experimenting the safety of this, by constantly keeping a look at the temperatures, and how hot the thing feels, and it appears to stay safe.

I recommend to remove your case and battery cover and keep an eye on your phone if you consider trying this, but for now i can say one thing:

If you have an iDevice in your house, charge your phone with the fruitplug :D

on the other side... what do you think about it? Would you try it?
[Galaxy S II General] vishal11in:
It is all abouy amp your charger uses.

S2 charger give 5amp out and iphone must be more which throws more juice to ur phones battery thus fast charging.
[Galaxy S II General] Nightshadow931:
Not 5A actually, it gives output of 5V and 1A.At least my charger. [MENTION=4428709]domini99[/MENTION], what is the output for your iPhone charger ?
[Galaxy S II General] domini99:
According to the information on the charger, it outputs 1A. My samsung charger also outputs 1A, yet it charges faster with the iPhone charger.

I did some quick research and found that the iPhone charger would have a special sort of **** inside of it that charges the phone in a different way. Not sure if bull**** or actually true, but they did put some sort of magic or drug in that thing to make it hypercharge anything i charge in it :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Nightshadow931:
They couldn't have put anything inside, it all depends of voltage and amperage.

You can use charger with higher amperage than your device need though.

And, yea, you can use charger with more amps, but you cannot use charger with higher voltage than 5V.

[Galaxy S II General] pipyakas:
I check all the chargers i have with current widget, a nice little app tell how much mv your battery have left and how much your charger putting in. I plug in a 600mah charger and i get around 500-550mah input. With a 2a charger i get 641mah consistantly, so i guess that's thr limit of our device

So 650mah, and a 1650mah battery, that means 2 and a half hour for full cycle. And that also means something is happening to that apple juicer o.O
[Galaxy S II General] Darius_bd:
This.

S2's hardware doesn't allow it to charge more than 650mAh from an external charger. So it doesn't matter if you're using 1Ah or 2Ah charger, it will be the same.

Now, that's for the international i9100, who knows if there's something different with other versions or if the phone has a faulty hardware. I've also noticed that my phone recharges much faster right after being quickly discharged. So it could also be that the metering is faulty and there was juice left in the battery.
[Galaxy S II General] domini99:
I got European s2, would that make any difference?
[Galaxy S II General] FPSUsername:
What I know is that the s2 never will charge over 650mA per hour. I use a 700mA charger and incoming at ~640mA on my s2.

Maybe a battery charger will do better than charging through phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Nightshadow931:
How did u make it work ? For me it shows 0mA always. I tried with v0.38 though, could you send me an apk for the latest version (0.40) from play store, cause it keeps telling me that the app is not compatible with my device.

Also, are u on jb or kk ?

you didnt specify what phone you have, i know this method works on moto phones, other than that i cant say.

i know you dont want to use an app, but honestly, flashify should work on almost any phone and is the simplest way.

put recovery on phone, open flashify, flash new recovery, profit....
