eLLi Kat 1.0

​

This is my first ROM EVER. I am going to be updating this ROM frequently over time as I see fit. If you have requests please post in a comment below!​

Shout Outs:

Geohot (For working on rooting our device and EVERY device he can with www.towelroot.com)

Hashcode0f (For making SafeStrap compatible with our phone and making flashing .zip's possible!)

BeansTown106 (For his Base Build/Mods.)

Misterxtc (For taking the time to read my multiple PM's and helping me learn how to compile a flashable ROM!)

Google/Samsung (For making an amazing device/OS for us to play with.)

Creators of Archikitchen here on XDA (For providing the tools necessary to ROM.)

Everyone else who has contributed that I did not mention.

This ROM is based on BeansTown106 Odex Base. (It was DeOdexed using ArchiKitchen.)​

ROM:

Android 4.4.2 (NCG Base)

DeoDexed

Zipaligned

Busybox

Rooted

Knox Free

Native Hotspot

Removed Verizon OTA Updater

DeBloated (Everything intact to make everything functional minus crap not needed.)

Read/Write to external storage (Should be working, let me know if it doesn't.)

Art should work (I do not use it.)

Private Mode does NOT work (ROM is DeOdexed.)

Features:

Android L Keyboard (Must enable in Language & Input Settings, Also, go to advanced settings and change color/theme to Material)

Android L Alarm Sounds

Android L Ringtones

Android L Notification Sounds

Android L Bootanimation (Removed Boot Sound)

Android L 5.0 Launcher (Touchwiz Launcher Removed)

8SMS Added (enable as default for AOSP style messaging)

Removed all Verizon Bloatware

Here is the Android L Bootanimation with the ROM:

Some applications such as Play Movies, Play Music, and My Files have not been removed yet so you can debloat it even more. SHealth among other features were left in ROM due to seeing people request for things to be left on. ​

Instructions:

I am NOT responsible for your device and if you do not flash properly or something goes wrong. This ROM has been tested on my own Retail S5 and has flashed just fine with no issues. ​

1: Download ROM and put on External SD card (or internal if it works for you)

2: Also Download SuperSU from HERE and put in same place you have the ROM zip

3: Reboot into SafeStrap Recovery and select ROM slot you want to install it on (Most likely on ROM slot 1)

4: Once in desired ROM slot, go to Wipe, and swipe to wipe (default wipe settings in SS should be good enough)

5: Go to main SS screen and press Install (Then navigate to the ROM zip and flash it, then flash SuperSU zip immediately after)

6: On first boot, you might get a Setup Wizard FC (Just press OK and don't worry about it as it will only appear once)

Welcome dood! Thanx for the rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ManDone.vRs:
Also welcome from my side [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] , nice to see you here bro´ ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ra6o74:
Well looking! But to prevent people from asking dull questions such as "can I flash this on my 900f/i/p/t" probably you should change a bit the name of the tread so to be clear that the rom is for 900V?! That's my opinion .
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mocsab:
I am curious about something - based on that last post, if in fact this rom is only flashable on Verizon S5s, why post it in the international thread where yit would be natural for people to think they could flash it - ?

A better question might be is - is this flashable in a traditional recovery like TWRP or CWM or must it be flashed in Safestrap?

I don't know that much about Safestrap but can you have Safestrap and a more traditional custom recovery on the same phone?

Doesn't safe strap also use the Internal SD card? If that is so, because Internal is limited on most of the current S5's - are there space restrictions when flashing? (just curious...I really don't know)

I think it would be helpful if there was more information about what phones were compatible and what recoveries would and would not work for this rom...

just my thoughts...I am glad that you are able to flash on Verzon and other phones iwth Locked Bootloaders now - and congratulations on your first rom!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elliwigy:
it is flashable through twrp or cwm and safestrap is based on twrp just have to make sure youre on a kernel compatible with the rom.. and to my knowledge this is a unified sgs5 thread which means all s5 variants can b posted.. if i am wrong mod can delete my threads in here since i also have em posted in the verizon thread.. ppl on vzw s5 thread have been succesful in flashing roms from here on the vzw s5.. only thing is some network functions dont work like lte etc. but it did not break the phone.. i didnt know this was strictly an international thread
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mocsab:
Please don't take my comments wrong - I really didn't know one way or the other - (my experience with Safestap on my Note 3 had been that if it was a Safestrap rom - you had to have Safestrap installed to flash it - I guess that changed - so thank you for the update - it is helpful.

I wasn't meaning to question your posting the rom in the international thread - my question was really based on whether you had to have safestrap to use it - which you said is not necessary - so I guess it doesn't matter. Hope you didn't take my comments wrong...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elliwigy:
not at all! it flashes like n e other rom but at the moment im pretty sure will only work on the s5 for vzw.. i plan on making a g900f variant in the near future
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mocsab:
I may be wrong, But I am pretty sure this thread is really meant for the International S5 - Tmobile - Att - Verizon each has their own thread. As luck has it, the International and Tmobile phones are similar enough that International and TMOBILE ROMS are essentially the same (Except International doesn't have wifi calling - but considering you cant use your ROM on International or TMOBILE - seems to me that it is kind of inappropriate to have a thread here - I mean, what's the point? If we can't flash the rom why even post it here - when you have made a version that is compatible for 900F or TMOBILE - then maybe it is more appropriate.

I am not telling you what to do - only suggesting that you might consider that - it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other - just thought I would ask you to consider how difficult it will be to support a rom for phones that cannot even use it ?

just a thought
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elliwigy:
i know what youre saying but i was under the impression that this was the unified sgs 5 thread.. every version of the s5 has its own thread and this is a general s5 development thread.. to say you can post tmobile and att roms here but not verizon makes no sense.. im sure it will flash but whether or not data or messages etc will work without some modifications i do not know.. regardless, like i said, if a mod feels this shouldnt be here they are welcome to delete it from this thread. you are also welcome to pm a mod if u feel that strongly about it as well.. people with the vzw retail s5 shouldnt be coming to this thread if what you are saying is accurate.. i guess posting a rom made for a variant of the s5 shouldnt be posted in the unified s5 thread? either way like i said, ive posted my roms in the vzw s5 thread so these can b deleted if necessary... also, if you go on a pc and search for verizon galaxy s 5 you will see this dev thread right underneath the verizon dev thread.. so y put this thread on the vzw forum if it wasnt meant to be posted here?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] elliwigy:
I have pmed a mod to remove my posts from this thread. That way everyone will be happy.. Happy Romming!

Hi everyone!

I´ve got a problem and would like to share my experience with u. I have just bought the HTC TyTN and tested everything, but what I can say is in comparission with some ipaqs I have also owned in the past, the wifi signal reception in the TyTN is very low.

Does anyone know any way 2 improve the wifi singal reception on that model?

Any soft, hardware, change of whatever, ....

Any help or experience would be appreciated.

Thnks in advance.

Speak 2 u soon
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
WiFi strength is not brilliant. Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan>Power Mode gives a performance option, but I don't see much difference.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jumanji1212:
Thank u Mike.

You´re right, but that is not what I´m looking for, because as u say, that doens´t make much difference.

Thanks again for your contribution

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
You're straight outta luck here mate - big phone, lots of stuff to power, more powerful CPU to run + small antenna = lower signal strength.

I find that the device can cope alright though so long as the signal is moderately stable (it could be really weak but as long as it doesn't deteriorate too much too fast, my phone doesn't usually have any issues staying connected).

Hey everyone.

First sorry if i've got a bad english.

So, since i've put the existenZ 1.0 ( based on 4.4 ) on my xperia Z, i can't see some emojis ( for example the flags, the stars ... ). I tried with swiftkey keyboard but it didn't work too.

So if someone get a solution, please give me it ^^

Thanks for help

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterD22:
Hi

I managed to get an OTG cable and it works fine on the Nexus tablet.

I copied some files from a USB stick and they went OK except for one. The only difference is that file is the largest at just over 2GB.

I checked using the same stick on my Moto G phone and the same file transferred OK.

Is there a 2GB file size limit on the Nexus?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
So a few days ago, my Razr M decided to stop using 4g, and is now stuck using 4g. Even after returning to stock 4.4.2, this is still an issue. Any insight as to what's wrong with my phone?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Had this happen once I tried a bunch of stuff... I can't remember but I think I actually just let it die to 0% and let it charge back to 100% while off... But during that time I also pulled my SD card out put the data on my PC formatted it put data back on... I don't think the new Sim helped at all but it wouldn't hurt to try
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Did you try the battery drain. Also turn the phone off, take the 4g simcard out and ensure no dust is in the slot (maybe blow it with a bit of compressed air).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
I'll give battery drain a go. I haven't done that, and I might need a new Sim.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izaak99:
Same issue -- this was how I fixed mine

I've had this happen after flashing some ROMs (MIUI and older CM versions). It's a ***** to fix, and honestly its mostly trial and error. I did manage to get it to work, but I can't remember the exact series of things I did. You can tell its working correctly when it shows 4G/LTE (not just LTE) and you can still make phone calls, and you can send/receive texts and MMS.

Before trying any of this though, it might just be a KitKat issue -- you will lose a huge amount of reception running the stock 4.4.2 OS. When I tried it I was never able to get 4G due to the poor signals I was getting with KitKat. I would strongly recommend reflashing to the the last Jelly Bean stock firmware (skip gpt.bin and tz.bin) and see if you still have the no 4G issue. I'm running stock JB (with the garbage apps frozen) after trying every ROM out there, because the signals I get are way stronger, and the battery life (might be due to better signals?) is amazing -- I can go 2-3 days without a charge.

In any case, if you still want to try it, I think these settings are the ones you want (what worked for me was actually TOGGLING the settings to something else, then back to the correct ones). Also, this was under JB, but I think its identical with KitKat:

Dial *#*#4636#*#*

Go to Phone Info. Click the menu option and click on the Radio Bands. Change it to US Band. This will break everything.

Go back to the menu and Radio Bands. Change it back to Cellular.

Then scroll down and click on the Preferred Network Type. Change it to GSM/CDMA (Auto). At this point you should see the Location: showing actual info in the BID, SID, NID fields, and GSM will be "In Service", GSRM will be "Connected" and Network Type will probably be eHRPD (which is still 3G).

Click on the preferred network type again and change it to "LTE/CDMA/Evdo". It should change the GSRM to LTE. If not, power off, pull the SIM, power on. Wait for it to say SIM not found. Power back off, put in the SIM and power back on.

Go to your Settings, and under Wireless & networks click on More... and click Mobile Networks. Again, the fix was toggling, so if it says Global, change it to LTE/CDMA or if it says LTE/CDMA, change it to Global. It doesn't matter which one its set to (as long as its one of those 2 and you toggled it).

At this point, I had to let the phone sit for about 10-15 minutes. After I came back, it started switching automatically to 4G/LTE and you should be good to go.

If you can't MMS or text, go back to the Mobile Networks settings, click on Access Point Names, click the menu and reset to default. Power off and power back on.

Hope this helps... GL!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
I wish I could say that helped... But it didn't... I'm not sure what this thing is doing, in LTE, it doesn't even detect a network.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePsych:
I had the same problem. Lost 4g.

Tried all of the suggestions in this thread and the CM11 and GPE threads in Android Dev section.

Got a new sim card.

All better.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_transform:
So this worked for me....kinda. It will keep my LTE when I switch back and forth, but only until I call someone. At which point it will stop auto-switching back and forth.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
So, I got a new SIM, and things worked for a while, but when I tried to make a call, it said "Phone not authenticated". So I go back in, the guy says to dial *228, and 1 to activate. I do it, and the calling works, but I'm back to 3g. So I'm back in this boat again...while I get 4g in my Gnex, with the same Sim...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
Didn't ATTACK tell you in another thread that *228 fries the 4g sim cards?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
True... But see, the same SIM can get 4G in my Galaxy Nexus, which makes 0 sense. I might go get another SIM again, but I'll just deal with it for a while. It works if I do LTE only mode on my Razr. It's strange that the same SIM works perfect in my other phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrobot:
I would factory reset or wait a few days. In a few days a new software update will be rolling out.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
Probably won't use it. It'll lock my boot loader or unroot me, which I'd hate.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
It will make you lose root but you can't lock your boot loader after its unlocked... Even taking an OTA. So just flash twrp and flash SuperSU zip and then you're good to go after a OTA
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrk190:
Sorry. Haven't had to worry about OTA's in ages... None of my phones ever got updates, 'cept this one.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
You're boot loader will not be relocked. . if the ota wasn't relocking the bl and doing just the opposite then you have nothing to worry about regarding that... As for unroot you're unlocked so all you'd have to do is flash SuperSU or use the root method again... If you're stock then rather the FDR just run it in safe mode long press power button till screen pop long press power off till screen pop select OK...if safe mode helps then you'll need to FDR...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] t.botega:
Dears, help me please!

I have my nexus 7 for 3 months. It was working pretty fine before... BUT... last thursday I left it charging overnight, I woke up turned the tablet alarme off and put it on a backpack to travel.

When I tried to turn it on the screen just did nothing!! The strange thing is: when I got mail it notifies me... the pulse light is active but the screen doesn't show.

I tried to charge it, hold the power button, hold the power + volume down buttons and nothing solved.

Anyone has/had the same problem?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gaschue:
I have the same problem. It happened a couple times already but I could not figure out why it happens. When I push the power button long enough it just restarts. It happens only when its laying around a couple hours like over night.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gaschue:
The tablet returned from the repair.

It seems like they changed the mainboard. Sadly there was something behind the camera glas and there were scratches on the screen. So they had to send it in again. Then they also changed the screen. All this took about 3 weeks.

I suggest claim for repair its definitely a hardware issue. Now my Nexus is running flawless and I am waiting for the Lollipop update.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DroidIt!:
You could also just try holding volume down + power for about 30 seconds. I've had a couple of freezes before where holding down the power button did nothing. But, holding down power + volume down worked. This is assuming you weren't flashing or doing something else, this is only if you were using the tablet as normal and it just suddenly won't turn on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doncaruana:
Same here. And, if you're not in the know, you can simply go to www.towelroot.com and download the towelroot apk. Install it (Google will recommend you don't) and then run it. It will have a button called "make it rain". Use that, then install supersu and reboot. Install busybox and anything else you like...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FuzzieKiwi:
NEVERMIND.

It worked on my S3 running 4.4.2.

Now, how can I flash custom roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
There is not one to flash. So, you're stuck on rooted VRUDNE1 until there are any custom TouchWiz VRUDNE1 roms made available. You would only be able to use them via Safestrap which has only been unofficially updated in the general section.

I modded the original Google Search apk from Play Store for adding the new Android L material drawables as well as the new voice command sounds.

I know there's a thread showing how to enable material design on the Android L launcher from the system dump, but that will probably not fully work on your device (No "Ok Google" hotword and Google Now issues). This is the regular version from Play Store modded to look exactly like the actual Android L launcher.

Screenshots

INSTRUCTIONS:

1- Clear your current Google Search app data (Thanks vhngu930).

2- Remove both Google Search and Google Now Launcher (From data and system).

3- Make sure you're not using the Google Play Services 5.0 (from Android L system dump).

4- Flash the following .zip file.

Followed what you said, but it didnt work.

The launcher still uses the old drawer.

It works perfectly for me. You probably didn't remove the old app. Did you follow all my instructions?
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Yeah, i did that, but then GoogleHome force closes, and i cant use it unless i install another Google Search, or both doesnt get installed.

Tried again, now it doesnt detect Velvet (Google Search), it says it needs a newer version.

For me it works
[Android Apps and Games] ANDR01DN00B:
To get the different app drawer icon change

ro.build.version.codename=REL

[Android Apps and Games] dressanderc:
I've tried this in other treads with no luck, but can someone please extract the white app drawer icon for me?
[Android Apps and Games] Matsilagi:
Tried and retried, same results, google search doesnt work. And thus, GNow launcher doesnt either.
[Android Apps and Games] 7h3d:
Here no need to change anything, it's a modded version of the regular Search app you find on Play Store. :)

And how do we get the new buttons from the Android L? I mean the home,back and recents?
