no that is a patch/update to the KoolKit ROM wont do much of anything on any other rom, it is only an update to a component of the init.d capabilities of my rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PuckX:
Just wanted to give a shout out to cstayton and say thanks for the awesome ROM. Been running it for a week now and it is rock solid, and fast. Really thanks to all who have had a hand in root, SS, and then developing roms. I see no reason to ever change from this ROM as it does exactly what I want it to do. I may try other ROMS once the ROM Slots starts working for SS, but this will always be my main ROM.

Thanks for the hard work and keep it up!

1 day 17hrs and 16% battery to go. Pretty good mate :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] natefish:
Is that just after a clean installation without you reinstalling any of your apps? Only 667mb ram left? Just saying, that doesn't look encouraging for a debloated rom. Did Samsung really screw us that bad with TouchWiz and ram usage? Thank you for any further input you can give.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
no thats just after a fresh boot, all my apps are installed and just remember being debloated does not change the partition size of the rom it is still partitioned exactly as if it was fresh from Samsung. what debloating does is basically clear out junk and helps remove running processes which is where the "more memory" comes from
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
I've full wipe installed and debloated the best I can and my phone runs at round about 1.51 used out of 1.81. Debloating won't necessarily better your RAM usage. What will is a custom kernel or firmware update with increased RAM usage built in.I don't use to many apps at a time and don't use TW but android will keep apps open in memory anyway. It's good to keep a few open to keep it running smooth. With my S3 and Note 2 we have some good custom kernels that let you choose the level of free RAM you want to keep a fast device. I've never had a variant device before so I don't know about custom kernels on bootlocked phones.

Bluetooth in Settings force close, you need fix it, i'm waiting for 1.0.1 version, love this rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
nope, works fine,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
It's good here mate. Maybe reflash as a non wipe over top again to set everything in. Ive got 3 things paired.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:

Would you mind telling what the possible fix for private mode is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
smali and xml edits in SecSettings.apk for FC in Settings and a couple of edits in build.prop

there is absolutely no gaurentee its just basically a stab in the dark.

i was able to go all the way to the final setup in settings but i dont use private mode.

if it pans out and private mode is fully functional i will do a write up on instructions in this forum, but until its confirmed im not going to share and have a ton of people hounding me about it not working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
I'll give it a shot later and let you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Can we non full wipe the beta2 version mate or best a full wipe install?.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adidas123:
Usage Manager force close :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
nope, works fine.

P.S. if you want more of a response and the possibility that i might look into it for you, you need to start providing A LOT more information and logcats if possible, steps to reproduce what third party apps did you restore via TB did you do full wipe, yadda yadda yadda.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
you can try without a full wipe technically it should work fine since the base is the same however, there are a lot more edits in this build so i can't gaurantee it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adidas123:
full wipe, wipe data and cache, i must open usage manager in Settings, so i disabled usage manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BigSexySCJCD:
Is there no need to flash the patches Now in the new ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
nope no need those are for beta1 only they are all included in beta2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
I am slowly going through and hard coding some of the more significant mods in order to reduce (or remove completely) the need to use any xPosed modules or framework, it may be a few days but im close
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
Just following up on private mode: didn't work for me. I do have a logcat, but I don't really see anything in it. Previously (on stock), I was able to turn the ro.securestorage.support back to true and private mode would work. That doesn't work this time. On a semi-related note, private mode never worked with Xposed installed with either ro.securestorage.support being true or false. Just reporting as I personally don't really care if private mode works or not and I'm sure it's not a major goal of your ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
well your right its not a major goal, however it would be nice to have everything working. on a side not i am working to hard code the needed mods so that the need for xposed is minimized maybe then private mode will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Nice work mate. Something help to keep you motivated :)

Does ART work on new version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Don't know try and see, let me know if it does
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
What do you think?

​

possibility of adding some CSC settings options? Yes? No?

THIS IS PROOF OF CONCEPT AT THE MOMENT, IT WILL REQUIRE SOME INTENSIVE SMALI EDITS TO IMPLEMENT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BigSexySCJCD:
ART does not work, Rom running great so far, really smooth and also when I flashed it it change my device back to official which I thought was weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
NICE !!!! Makes the ROM even better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
creating the menus was the easy part creating all the smali and listener code is turning out to be a real B!^@&
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
that can be kind of flaky, mine does the same thing, but i dont think its related to the build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
It's all good man. If you don't, we will still download. Lol. Keep up the good work. We all appreciate your time.

I can't wait for an Active Custom Rom. I smell it coming closer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Think i'll be nixing this idea for know it is a lot more intense than i originally thought it would be. ill keep it on the back burner for now tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
might be able to post an initial Active Beta this evening provided my home internet doesnt whack out on me again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is probably a stupid question, but will my Gear Neo still work while rooted and on this rom?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jmorales5922:
I'm using an at&t S5 on T-Mobile.. Any chances T-Mobile features such as WiFi calling and Download booster get added on to this device? Through your ROM or any other?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Yeah mate. My gear2 is working 100%. They work through the Gear Manager app not through the phone itself so that's why you can use the watch on other devices. After you full wipe install you will need to re-download the Gear Manager app again and pair up again. It will also factory reset the watch when you pair up again.

Wi-Fi calling I'm not sure about since I use Line for that but for download booster there is a working mod from here

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonmoe:
I loved using the b1 rom worked like a charm. After hours to download since I'm in the middle of afghanistan with horrible wifi on this base the b2 I get an error when trying to install. I did the wipe before hand then tried to install. Any ideas? or is there a link still to the b1? I have seemed to misplaced it. Thanks again for all your hard work.

JM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Hey there mate. What does the error say?. If it was a long download it may have just downloaded incorrectly and therefore be a corrupt install. If you can get a better faster DL and try again that might help you find out. If you need b1 then I can upload it to my Dropbox and post a link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
you can try downloading B02 from here [link susspended]

or

hit cooza up he has B01 he can post to his dropbox.

P.S. If your in afghanistan i'm assuming military? just want to say thank you for your service and please be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonmoe:
Thanks m8. The error that I am getting is it says failed after I do the factory reset and I am trying to do the install of the rom.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Looks like no matter what I try to install from safestrap recovery from sdcard is saying failed and will not work. Tried from a fresh install of stock rom to start the process over. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
im doubtful that your doing anything wrong, it's more likely the zip is getting corrupt between my hosting or dropbox and your location. if you can find somewhere that has significantly better wifi try downloading from there. another thing that i have seen happen before is if you try to use your phone to download it can cause issues, try finding a PC or Laptop that you can download to and then push the rom to your phones external sdcard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] king98027:
I had the same thing happen to me using Mac OSX. I downloaded the file and the it was already pre-unzipped for some reason. I tried zipping it, pushing to sd card, factory reset, then flashed. Error popped up saying failed. Something about MD5 was there. Anyways, I rebooted into Windows and downloaded again. This time it was a zip file. I repeated everything and it worked.

Also I should mention that the download links pop up as an X or is non-existent depending on what browser I use. I was able to download using Internet Explorer or Safari (which Safari sucked in my case). Firefox did not show any clickable items at all.

Anyhow, thanks for your hard work on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonmoe:
Wow this might be my issue as iam on a mac. Ill try to download in windows and try again.

Download and flash no problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Cheers mate. Might run CCleaner and reboot then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] fvultee:
Yah that's a bad download, the .zip is fine. Downloaded and flashed, so far so good, though the metallic wood background on the notification pulldown is a little meh. I used Titanium Backup to freeze a whole bunch of stuff I don't use or need, now my battery lasts forever with normal usage. Two charges ago it lasted 46 hours, yesterday it had been unplugged for 18 hours and I was at 70%, and that includes tethering, web usage, calls, and a trillion texts (ok perhaps not that many)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Sweet, cheers mate. I'm gonna download to my phone directly and see how that goes instead.

EDIT: downloaded to phone and flashed. All good. Might be needing a new PC soon I think :)

performance improvements for RC1

just incase anyone wonders here is a screenshot of latest benchmarks from the upcoming RC1 release

​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dicho:
I want to enter to private mode and it said error when activate private mode, try again.

Anyone else have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
And yet another Screenie

Notice anything?​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
im still working on that one

The root cause behind this is the fact that Samsung Knox has been completely removed from this ROM in order for private mode to work you MUST have full knox support.

I'm still trying to find a way around that but so far no go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
One more for good measure

​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Wow nice job. I bet that was tricky to get in there.

i think the appropriate phrase is Pain In The A__
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kalans:
Any ETA on the RC1 release? Also can we get a mirror (Maybe Mega), the current host is a bit slow for me. Thanks mate and I look forward to testing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
As far as the ETA. I have a long list of projects not only for the S5 but also the S5 Active, Tab 4, Tab 3, plus koolkit roms plus mods and guides. I try to keep the ROM development at the top of the list currently V1.0.0_B03 for the S5 Active has my attention since B03 is already out for the standard S5. So the priority list looks something like this:

1. S5 Active (SM-G870A) V1.0.0_B03

2. S5 (SM-G900A) V1.0.1_RC1

3. KoolKit toolkit for samsung Galaxy Phones V1.0.2_RC3

4. KoolKit toolkit for Tabs (tab3 and 4) V1.0.2_RC3

5. CarrierIQ Removal WIP

6. Permenant Device Official (SysScope) Removal

7. Tethering Enable for all carriers (currently for AT$T and Tmobile)

and that doesnt include all the little projects that im working on that arent posted or even disclosed as of yet

As far as the mirrors i prefer to only have one host and since android file hosting gives me really good stats i would prefer to stay with that. However, that being said I have considered purchasing hosting space provided by faster providers but lets face it that aint cheap. So if anyone has ideas or suggestions for new hosting sites let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
New Base for KoolKit ROM

Ok, so I got tired of trying to tweak, mod and hack my way through making everything work on the G900A build SO... when I post RC1 it will be completely rebased on the G900F OEM firmware, below are some screenshots I think everyone will be excited to know that we will now have Download Booster and CarMode working.

​

It is going to be a few days yet for the release I need to finish up the B03 release for the S5 Active and get that posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Good things always take time brother. B3 still going strong here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cooza:
Not really sure about the 900f so if we run that firmware on our devices do we loose 4g support mate?. I know it works like that on LTE variants/international models. I can't flash the latest c105 4.4.2 UK release to my wife's c105a S4 zoom for that very reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
nope dont loose anything everything works data,wifi, bluetooth lte everything:good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey guys, I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that I have been testing RC1 for Craig and it has been fantastic! He wrote a lot of scripts for the install that are great and save time.

For example, when you flash, you don't have to do any wipes. You just flash the rom and it does your wipes, backs up your apps (without data) and restores your apps (without data). So you basically get a clean rom install and your apps restored (without data) by simply flashing the rom.

There are a few other enhancements he made including rebasing on international firmware. Here are just a few screenshots to give you all a preview of what's to come! The screenshot of my app drawer is just a shot to show that my personal apps were retained after a fresh flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
V1.0.1_RC1 is getting close

with the awesome help of [MENTION=1026832]WizeGuyDezignz[/MENTION] i've made significant headway on RC1, his testing has been invaluable.

I have made a couple more changes (some may not like them but it is for a reason) I'm not going to list all of the changes yet but

once im sure its completely stable ill post full details and then release after testing is complete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
V1.0.1_RC1 Update

KoolKit V1.0.1_RC1 Potential update

the next and hopefully last RC1 Test is off to the testers, if there are no glaring issues I should be able to post tonight.

Special Note:

There are few things that have changed in RC1 from the previous beta releases. They are to an extent significant and I will try to explain my reasoning behind them.

1. Private Mode - Has been removed from the build, without the accompanying knox components Private Mode remains non-functional. I know that there are ROM's out there with Private Mode working however, I have not had time to research exactly what is required in order to make it play well with custom ROMs it is possible that it just requires the missing folder structure and nothing more but I have not had time to delve into that as of yet. In deference to performance and functionality most accompanying code has been removed.

2. A.R.T. Runtime - A.R.T. runtime even on a good day is tempermental at best, Google did not intend it to be any type of daily use environment and since this ROM is de-odexed the system has a dificult time handling the conversion process from Dalvik to A.R.T. therefore I have chosen to temporarily disable this feature through the developer options in settings. All of the code for this feature still exists within the ROM itself and can be turned back on fairly easily, my intentions are to wait until Google decides if this is going to be mainstream or drops it from use.

Major enhancement to the flashing process

I have included custom scripts that are called during the flash process (I originally wrote and implemented these in the HTC forums). These scripts in conjunction with the updater-script are able to better handle the process of wiping /system and /data and also include the automatic backup and restore of all user level apps from /data/app. The scripts intentionally ignore all coresponding application data backing up only the core apk itself. this offers you a completely clean start from scratch not only for all system apps but all of your personal apps as well. Now when flashing there is no more need to remember to wipe data or system just copy the zip to your sdcard, reboot to SS Recovery and flash and your done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ALLDAT:
Looking forward to this. And thanks a lot
