Obviously CM it's faster/smoother as it's CM :)

But I'm interested in stock TouchWiz Samsung roms, so if you don't have any of those issues, maybe arter97's a little bit optimized on those things where it was causing battery drain or overhear.

I read that arter97's it's uncompressed and aligned. If the battery drain or heat in stock BOE1 comes from file system usage, decompression, accessing to it, well that might be the reason....but we don't know I'd this it's only a supposition or a delirious of mine :)

I'm flashing mine stock with stock files deodexed, so I'll tell you if I'll encounter any of those reported issues.

Thinking about it, arter97 provides the complete system to flash over stock, not only deodexed files (three system subfolders), so maybe it's better then stock for those issues reported.

Im getting SOT 4 hours 30 minutes on BOB8. normal usage. bought this phone with BOB8 and i wonder if i can get more hours on kitkat. :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
I've flashed stock BOE1 from firmware downloaded from Korean forum (as on Sammobile is broken).

Then flashed aeter97's BOE1 rom.

Flashed Philz recovery and rooted simply flashing original UPDATE SuperSU 2.46 by Chainfire (credit for this goes to [MENTION=5441270]kykint[/MENTION] as I didn't know it was possibile to root simply with this).

Everything looks to be nice and smooth, and hasn't encounter too strange battery draining or overheating.

A big question about KNOX:

I've still installed "KNOX" and "KNOX II" apps.

I thought that [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] had disabled KNOX, but I still see those two apps active in Titanium Backup.

What shall I do? Disable/uninstall them using TB??

Other big question: I don't have BusyBox installed.

Is it better to install it? Is so..which version?? From where?? Play Store or some free version here on Xda??

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kykint:
Those KNOX leftovers don't seem to do anything, so it's not a bad idea to leave them there.

Busybox is essential for a lot of root apps, so you definitely have to install it. I personally recommend Stericson's busybox on playstore, it's constantly updated and works great :)

Has anyone tried the latest official firmware? How's the battery life?
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Do you mean BOE1??

I'm on arter79's rom based on that firmware and I'm testing it now.

Not enough time for me telling that...but I'm suspecting that or could be a little less good in that.

I have to check at best battery charge.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
It's average I'd say. Depending on usage your battery won't be out of juice in half a day though I never managed a full day (7am to 11pm) without a recharge on any lollipop - custom or otherwise.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Weild Hayn:
Agreed. No matter which ROM I'm in, it seems lollipop battery life is rather weak. Hadn't try the latest official. Tempted to try but too busy. Thanks for the info. :)

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

Use it for a day and determine screen on time and how long it lasts from 100%-5%.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
So I take it your OTA is disabled? Otherwise what's the hold up? :)

I say the latest stock is definitely worth a try, it ain't bad, not laggy and definitely stable. Even unrooted you're able to freeze most of the bloatware apps including Sammy proprietary ones.

And once rooted it's really powerful compared to KitKat.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Weild Hayn:
Yeah, I'm on dokdo now. How is rooting it more powerful compared to KitKat? Any examples? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I

Hey, sorry, I didn't phrase it properly. A (rooted) stock lollipop is more powerful than (rooted) stock KitKat.

E.g. SD card write permission is default in lollipop. I also like the overall look and feel better in lollipop than KitKat.... though it's clearly a personal subjective preference, not everyone would agree.

I must say I was really impressed by CM12.1 nightly albeit it's still not yet 100pc bug-free.

[EDIT] just realised what you've said - I wasn't aware of the project dokdo, thanks for the advice.

Actually it seems the way to go - why do you wanna get back to stock? Is dokdo buggy?
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Interested my self in the Dokdo project. Would like to see some screenshots also, more then those from their web site.

About stock Lollipop, what do you mean with "SD card write permissions is default in lollipop." ???

Do you mean that we don't need the Sd-Card fix like it was needed in KitKat??
[Galaxy S 5 General] Weild Hayn:
Dokdo, in essence, is CM12 with many more customization. It's almost like resurrection remix. It is fairly stable with weekly updates to iron out bugs. Battery is rather weak compared to those days in KitKat. In official KitKat, phone would easily last 1 day with no sweat. Every update from Samsung seems to get worse. Not sure about latest official lollipop(that's why I ask) but Samsung's first lollipop battery life is also kinda brief.

All battery life and extra features... Includes pie and lock screen blur.

Connectivity Issues with SM-G906S

Hello again guys,

A few months ago I lost the wcdma/lte connectivity of my SM-G906S playing with the NV values and the Service Menu. I tried to fix it following your advice and several methods posted here but the only solution was taking it to the official Samsung service center back in Korea. The guy there just performed a reset that he said it can only be made there and my phone was fixed in less than 1 minute.

However, now back in Spain I'm having connection issues again. My phone apparently works and connects to all bands, but after a few minutes it loses the signal and I have to restart if I want to recover it. It keeps showing the 3G or LTE logo but I can't make/receive calls and internet doesn't work either.

I have tried it with 2 different sim cards from 2 carriers (Vodafone and Movistar), I have checked the APNs, flashed different custom roms, set manual newtwork registration and tried all different network modes in *#0011# menu... Nothing worked.

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Amazing!

But please...tell me about what you said about stock Lollipop.....what do you mean with "SD card write permissions is default in lollipop." ???

Do you mean that on stock Lollipop we don't need the Sd-Card fix like it was needed in KitKat??

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ransel16:
Hi good day! Just asking if I'm gonna use the auto root from cf, am I not gonna receive anymore the official system updates of Samsung? I dunno if thats what they call ota update. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
OTA are there only for KNOX 0x0 devices, regarding to root...if I'm correct.

Root can be achieved mainly in two ways:

- an app (like KingRoot or what ever -- and if it stick after first reboot as on some devices it goes away) with which you'll should maintain root;

- or from a recovery consol flashing something appropriate (SuperSU v2.46 or CF-Auto-Root for your device) that would definitely trig KNOX 0x1.

If you'll then end up not being able to have OTA, a fresh full firmware (or any other custom rom out there) flashed the old way using Odin, would for sure become your favorite ;)

Cheers.

Problem with Samsung Galaxy S5 smg906s (Korea version)

A quick question about these instructions. I went into service mode and performed these two lines..

[*] Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter an upper case Q and press OK

[*] Tap the menu button again and select "Key Input" and enter 4 zeroes (0000) and press OK

My question is what does this do to the settings? I rebooted and everything seemed to work fine... This was tuesday. Once I did that I upgraded my Android version to 5.01 and now I cant connect to my local carrier. Cant receive phone calls or make phone calls. I keep getting an error that says... Notifications Network registration delayed. Contact customer center. (17)

Other times it comes up with an error that says... Alert Unable to use the roaming service. Select a different service provider for roaming.

If I go into the System Selection screen and Search for networks manually it shows my available network 0 [W] Telcel [334 020]. Its marked as an available network but when I select it it pops a message saying Registering on 0 [W] Telcel [334 020]... but finishes with unable to connect to network try again later. then pops back with this message... Notifications Network registration delayed. Contact customer center. (17)

My question is how do I push it back to the way it was before I did the 2 lines above where I entered in the Key Inputs?

Thanks before hand

Phil
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
The procedure does absolutely nothing to any settings whatsoever - provided that this was all you did.

The network problem must be completely unrelated to the steps you performed - they only bring you to the settings menu. So unless you actively go into the settings and change something there should be no risk.

Do check with your carrier if there's a problem on their side.

Otherwise a factory reset or emergency firmware recovery might help.

Hi. I have a G906S and After Flashing a ROM its IMEI became 00000000. i reflashed the stock and the problem remains the same. :( so i spent some nights to browse through some forums and saw the only solution you can give a shot is to restore a EFS Backup and unfortunately i dont have a backup with me.. if some one can get me a backup using ..

[Galaxy S 5 General] pereradileepa:
Yes. Nothing works cause i dont have a IMEI on my phone.the only way to recover my 4n is to restore a EFS backup .which i dont have and thats why i need your guys help.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Yes, I realized this now as I made a search on Xda only on threads titles with the word "IMEI".

I've found a lot of threads related to no connectivity if broken IMEI.

The fact is that I really don't know if your can restore back an IMEI from someone else. I think its unique.

Try to search on the forum as I did as I remember about a thread that I found a few weeks ago that was explaining how to momentarily change IMEI to do something, as I remember that changing it was not compromising the phone usage.

I don't know if it was related on the usage of certain apps, but I remember someone asking about if that could cause any issue, and the replies were negative.

I would like to bookmark that thread my self, so I'll search for it too.

If I find something I'll let you know.

Cheers.

Thanks for the quick response [MENTION=3278619]PIRATA![/MENTION] Guys im having a problem in my standby's because google play services keeps on getting awake(checked with better battery stats). I tried using ds battery saver but no avail. I discovered that it is the culprit when I froze it in titanium back up. The phone is in deep sleep but when I defrozed it, the horror began again. Its draining my battery 5% per hour. And if ever I'm gonna use a custom rom to solve this problem. What would you recommend? What's the smoothest and bugless rom of s5 prime thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
I use Autostarts in conjunction with the Xposed module BootMonitor to block all startup apps. Try to manage to handle it there.

Another thing would be another Xposed module from the same creator if BootManager, and it's called Receiver Stop.

Other thing you could add to all that it's Greenify.

I used all three of them before on my S3, but now on my new S5 I'm doing things step by step, so for now I still need to install Greenify as I'm still studying my battery usage.

Cheers.

what is the latest tw style rom for this phone? is the one on sammobile the only one. i do not want an asop style rom like cm12, as i hate having to get your own google stuff, and will not deal with not being able to use exposed. just looking for the best tw style rom for this phone at this time and date. also, wonder have there been any improvements with the battery life?

[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
I would say arter97's artware Project.

Search the Google as it's everything on his website.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
it says something about having stock android on there first, before flashing that rom. so i went to sammobile, and downloaded the latest firmware for our phone 906s, and am in the process of loading it via oden 3.09. then i will go from there. is there really a reason to get the art rom, if you have the stock rom? what is on that rom that isn't on the stock rom?
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Yes, you need to be on stock corresponding rom first.

It's a good quality deodexed and optimized rom with all stock features.

You'll but even notice the difference, except for its smoothness.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
one last thing, i lost root while going back to stock, as expected. but when i tried to load back up my philz 6.41 and flash it through odin, i got stuck at the download prompt. even if i try to boot into recovery, it just goes into download mode., instead. so i am guessing that version of philz doesn't work with the new lollipop 5.0.1. so in order to put philz back on there, and then of course flash supersu to get rooted again, what do i do. is there a link for a newer philz that works with lollipop? i searched and don't see one.

4-UNCHECK Auto Reboot

5-Flash Philz recovery

6-Wait until it's done, when it's done take out your battery and put it back in the phone

7-Reboot to recovery : "Vol+" + Home button + Power button

8-Install superSu 2.46
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
lolol. that is almost point for point exactly what i ended up doing, right before i saw this post. lol. i finally found the new philz, at that same address. thanks for confirming what i did, however. i do wonder, however, if the art rom is barely distinguishable from this stock one, then why should i load it? i don't see any advantages in flashing it, if it is the same as this stock one. and finally, with my being on this stock rom, will i be able to load ota's, even if i have root? or do you forfeit the samsung updates once you root the device? i always forget if it is the actual root, or the custom rom that kills it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Both.

About the rom, I think only Space X rom it's interesting instead of a stock based one, and most important it has custom kernel and some ui changing.

My advice is to get a good deodexed stock and then go through in editing it by your self, installing a custom kernel if you feel to need that, and change ui stuff with Xposed, as now it's possible to use it.

For the download mode suck, Is it happens again, do a battery pull.

For Philz, I'm finding it a little bit incompatible with some recovery flash. I'm starting to think about putting TWRP...
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
so i am now on stock android 5.0.1, and it doesn't allow me to use xposed. so i am looking to either install arter97 or spacex. has anyone on here used both? if so, can you please compare and contrast the basic differences between the two? thanks in advanced.

update: disregard any info on arter97, as i hate aosp roms. never understood the idea of having to go get your google apps, instead of just putting them into the rom. it's ridiculous. a couple of other reasons also, like xposed. so any info on spacex rom would be appreciated, from those who use it, or have used it. i'm doing my own research as well, of course.

Looking for help

Hello,

I'm new here. I'm trying to find out if what I would like to do is possible and if it is, how I would go about doing it. I've already spent hours scrolling threads on here looking for information. I feel like I've scratched the surface but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for yet to confirm whether or not I can accomplish what I'm attempting to do.

Let me start at the beginning. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G906K) and I recently switched carriers from AT&T to Verizon. At the store I was unable to get the sim card working with my device. I also checked the IMEI on Verizons website and it said my device was not compatible with their network. Out of necessity I picked up another phone. I know Verizon is or has been a CDMA network but from what I understand, they are transitioning or have transitioned to a GSM network. The phone I purchased at the Verizon store; a G360V; does not work without a sim card, which seems in line with any other GSM device. Furthermore, I tinkered with service mode on my G906 trying to get a LTE connection a while back and I saw a CDMA option somewhere in the menu. So, out of curiosity, I checked out service mode again. Sure enough, through navigating the main menu in service mode I can access numerous options containing "CDMA" in the title as well as other thing that seem associated with network connectivity. The problem is, I don't know what any of these options do. My G360V says its compatible with CDMA and LTE on the box. My G906 just says a bunch of stuff in Korean that I can't read, but I have CDMA related options on in service mode on my G906.

I would like to know if there is any possible way to get my G906 working on Verizon's network?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hongdae:
Yeah, that is one of the first things I tried but didn't work. Thanks anyways!

I will reply to myself. I have finally found a solution and my phone is now working perfectly out of Korea, just performed a complete NV rebuild from the Service Menu. I still don't know why it wasn't working before though.

I tried the hidden menu and my device was already set to automatic. No success with the NV Rebuild. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I feel like the answer for me has to be somewhere in either the hidden menu or service mode. Do you know of any resources that expand on what's capable through these options?

[Galaxy S 5 General] Hongdae:
Haha well, it was an approach after a lot of trial and error.

I first tried every single band/protocol/AS/NAS configuration in the Service Menu. Then factory reset, then reflashed the stock rom with Odin, then tried several custom roms and then back to latest stock rom.

Since nothing worked and my phone had no issues in Korea, I was pretty sure that it wasn't a rom or hardware problem but something related with the NV values. QXDM/QPST tools were my last option because my knowledge is really really basic. If you are not sure about what you are doing with them the result can be just damaging the device (already happened to me once). So I flashed the latest stock rom and then performed the NV rebuild at the phone menu and it worked.

All this process has been on Lollipop. My phone had BOB8 firmware when I got it back from the Samsung service center and now I am using B0E1.

Has your phone ever been connected to the network or you always get no signal at all?

Your problem looks different than the one I had, because my device was able to register but the signal always dropped after a short while.

Hi, which version of artware should I install for my Prime g906k?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Are you on a 900 or 906? SpaceX is for 900 variants, not the 906 unless there has been a version ported recently for the 906 model; I haven't seen one posted here or on any Korean forums. If you're happy with stock TW 5.0.1, then I recommend arter97's artware project (stock, deodexed with knox removed) and lolliwiz kernel r6. Arter97's unofficial xposed framework will allow you to run xposed modules on this rom. This about the only 5.0.1 TW-based rom for the 906 out there other than stock.
