yeah, those are the same ones i am using as well. but it had to be my loading over vn rom. now i have some of it working. for instance, my circle battery is working with color, and putting date and clock in center is working as well. but color of other status bar icons is not working, also color for date and clock is not working. so at least i have some things working, but would love to know if some of the things i DO NOT have working are working for you? thanks.

update: got clock and date color working.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Colors all seem to work fine.

Make sure you click that toggle top right on Wanam settings to actually set the new color. I forgot it once, also thought there was a bug:confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yeah here is a quick screen shot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
here's my main page on the new rom... the part at the bottom is a scrolling news feed, which runs the top 30 stories in the world at any one time.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Pretty sure it's the krait version for us with the 805 snapdragon!
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
It is but it ain't working for me.

I chatted with XPosed support guys they said the versions react differently to each phone's configuration so if generic is working I should just go with it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Working for me with arter ROM and Lolliwiz kernel :) Just flashed over as the latest dokdo ROM has a lot of problems (broken BT and insane battery drain). I picked up a Galaxy S Tab as well (gorgeous tablet/screen), and it's okay running TW across both with wanam's xposed module.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Tiamath99:
Hi to everyone. I just got my 906s and i was wondering if anyone could help me with some questions.

Before bothering anyone I tried to Google it but it seems that there is very little info about the LTE A.

So here I go:

Since we have the snapdragon 805, do we have fast charge with the right charger? (the one in note 4 for example)

I get about three and a half to four hours screen time when I used to get about 5 with the same usage in my old s5. Is this normal? Mi current rom is Kitkat compilation ANK1

Is there any rom (custom or not) that makes it better?

Do I need any específic tool for my compilation I'd I want to root the device?

That said, I am very happy with the phone, it lags a little as all tw devices does, but in all that really matters to me is really great. Screen, camera, ip 68, removable battery an sd

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance guys

You prompted me to retry and flash krait on my phone.

Again I ended up in a boot loop however aftera hard reboot (battery out/in) my phone is back online with operational XPosed framework.

I haven cleared cache during the procedure, my guess it might have prevented the boot loop but I'm way too lazy to restore all passwords/settings in all my apps after the resets.

Hi there, welcome.

I never heard that the type of a charger (preferable Samsung original of course) would influence the usage time of the phone.

S5 Prime has more powerful hardware and ram than a regular S5 hence it consumes more juice, that's normal.

Most of the folks around moved to Lollipop already but rooting and custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.5 or PhilZ unofficial 6.59) are working no problem. Just read the first post of this thread.

Also an unofficial CM12.1 is available (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3110951) with mixed feelings by the testers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Tiamath99:
Thanks for the awnsers. :)

I was about to go to lollypop as you recommended but I read somewhere that kitkat fares better with the s5, that battery in lollipop sucks.

Is this true?

Salute

[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yeah, the krait version is working for me on arter97's rom, with lolliwiz's kernel, tuned with trickster.

...and tiamath99, the battery in lollipop isn't bad at all if you do the right things to make it work properly. such as greenify, and ds battery saver. but the system is much faster than kitkat, and you have other notable's like proper support for sd cards. everything is going to lollipop, so you might as well get on for the ride. miscom's rom is definitely the one to chose if you decide to stay with kitkat. but flashing arter97's rom, with unofficial philz and lolliwiz kernel is better in my opinion.

So I installed lollipop stock and arter97 rom but I don't seem to have a voice recorder. Does the original stock have?

[Galaxy S 5 General] jambalaugi:
So, I have this phone (g906s) now. I am on 5.0.1 lollipop stock. After a few tries, successfully rooted it using these instructions by [MENTION=5328338]shabbat[/MENTION]

1-Reboot to Download mode "Vol-"+ Home button +Power button and then connect your phone to your PC;

2-Open Odin (I used 3.09 before and it DID NOT work. You must use Odin 3.10.6 for it to work, download here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451)

3-Add philz recovery through AP or PDA

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

and voila, you have a rooted device.

I basically wanted to root just for greenify. haha.

Edit:

Well, apparently I can't just install xposed framework because of ART and stuff.

So, how does one install xposed framework on a stock 5.0.1 android on the g906s?

Edit 2:

Okay, I got xposed framework running. I followed [MENTION=1069039]botwa[/MENTION]200.

Arter97 ROM: http://arter97.com/browse/artware/g906s/

XPosed installer v3 alpha 2:

http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=58828974

XPosed framework v4 generic: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=60857320

The procedure and exact sequence of steps are in post #1984 above.

I used unofficial PhilZ recovery 6.59.0

Backup first using philz custom recovery.

Installed the ROM first via odin.

Run the rom first time and let it do the optimizations.

Then install the apk using the my files browser.

Then install the v4 generic zip .zip using the philz recovery. It will optimize apps again it may take a while.

Then install supersu zip to re-root the new ROM.

Then run the xposed installer app to verify if installation is successful.

Then install wanam exposed for lollipop (http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposedlollipop) and do your customizations. Or use greenify donation package additional stuffs.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Annunneo:
You need to have a deodexed ROM for xposed and stock TW ROMs are odexed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Go for Lollipop.

arter97's artware Project ROM it's a fine solution for Xposed, stability and battery.

Can you please tel me with which procedure you lose all your passwords/settings so to prevent that on my device??

Tnx.

How do you feel with Lolliwiz kernel?

I'm still with stock kernel of arter97's BOE1 rom and I'd like to keep the same app treatment by the os that I have now with stock kernel, but at the same time try to have a bit better battery life.

How did you set the kernel? Governor... Scheduler... Other settings.... All appreciated ;)

You'll find it on Samsung Apps store.

Same for you: Go for a Lollipop deodexed rom.

For example, arter97's artware Project ROM it's a fine solution for Xposed, stability and battery.

Here is my battery yesterday. I still don't know if I have to read it bad or good.

Comments are appreciated.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
well, not to rain on arter97's parade, but i have to report that i am not sold on this rom. i am having several problems with it, that i didn't have with vn rom. first, this rom really doesn't seem to like widgets, and i use a lot of widgets. i have 16 active widgets on nine pages. second, greenify doesn't seem to work. i put apps in greenify, and they still have many, many wakelocks. then, it seems like every time i wake it up, it takes several seconds before the widgets will work correctly. i am thinking very strongly about going back to vn rom. out of the roms i have tested, it and spacex rom have worked the best. but spacex rom doesn't work with xposed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Agreed, the ROM ain't flawless. I also had widgets issues but attributed them to Go Launcher that I'm using. I had similar issues with Nova actually now that you remind me of it.

I'm done experimenting with custom ROMs for now until there's a stable release of CM12.1.

I'll be patiently waiting for the next stock upgrade, see what it brings us.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Well, I don't have so many widgets, but I'm using custom launcher 4x5 with app drawer 5x5 that looks like to be pretty good.

About Xposed, I don't have that issue, but I'll check better.

About other roms, maybe they are modded to gain more from what you say, but as arter97 the creator also of Xposed that we are using, maybe a fresh install from stock freshly installed would make the difference, as I really don't see any of those wakelocks you mention.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jambalaugi:
whats a good app to look for wakelocks? the top result from google play doesnt work.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
wakelock detector is the number one app for it, at play store .

yeah, i think i'm going back to vn rom. not only did it work better, but it also has 3 minit settings built right into the rom. i really like that app.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jambalaugi:
hi, yeah wakelock detector doesnt show the actual apps on my phone for some reason. it just shows the minutes spent in each state.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
that's strange. it shows all of them on every phone i've ever had. can't help ya then. sorry.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

so you like asop roms? not me. they are too much trouble. have you tried vn rom? i'd be interested in what your opinion of it is. it's definitely better than arter97's at this point. truth be known, the best rom i have used on this phone is miscom's rom. i can't beleive he left us all hanging. i surely thought he would have made a new custom rom when android 5.0 came out. but i've not heard anything from him.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Wakelock Detector doesn't work for me...

Keep saying that needs to grant root.

XT-ROM is out, formerly old VN ROM.

I'm looking at it but has Lolliwiz R3 on it...why?
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Hey guys, I'm asking for a great help from you!

I messed up with the Messages app trying to fix delivery reports, but mow my messing app doesn't work any more and I get FC even restoring stock files.

I think the problem depends by the fact that I DON'T have any more this file:

data/data/com.android.mms/lib

I need this "lib" file that doesn't have any file extension!!!!

It's a simple file that points to a position "com.android.sms" and I can't create it my self.

I have a G906K with arter97's rom BOE1, but maybe also other releases are ok.

Can you please share???

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
For me it's an empty file with zero data. Just take any text file, remove the contents and save as lib. My guess it'll do the trick.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
No, it's not a normal file, and I have already tried the way you say.

Here is how the "lib" file is seen in RootExplorer in the "com.android.mms.service" folder, for example:

As you can notice it's a pointer, like the libs that point to the efs partitions.

If you go and look at the batch scripts for backup of the efs partitions, you'll see that they point to files similar to these, which they point to particular locations where are the efs files.

Spoiler content hidden.

So this lib file I miss must be important the same, and plus it's the only one I miss!!

I'll write the file name I need once again: The file I'm searching the lib file here:

"data/data/com.android.mms/lib"

Please share it for me in an archive, a zip file would be good.

Tnx.

Rom says 5.0.2 for N906, but screenshots show g906K based on latest E1 stock firmware: http://samsungviet.vn/threads/tong-hop-cho-galaxy-s5-prime-sm-g906.4868/page-6

I would think you could try flashing lolliwiz r7 after flashing the rom, not sure why the dev chose r3. I believe r3 was based on B7 or B8 firmware.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
have you flashed it???
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
I've sent you a private message!
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
No, I barely got arter97's rom and lolliwiz kernel r7 set up nicely. I'll probably stick with that for a while. Until more info comes out on that rom, I'm afraid to flash it. I just saw the links and thought I'd share.

Are you going to try it?

Someone please help!!

I have been trying desperately to get xposed working on my SM-G906S. I have the stock 5.0.1 ROM and firstly I flashed the arter97 ROM which was successful. Then after carefully following instructions on this very thread, I installed the xposed apk and then downloaded the arter97 modified xposed zip. The problem is no matter what zip version I flash from Philz touch recovery, when I reboot I ALWAYS get the 'System UI' has failed and there is no status bar nor can i pull down the notifications. and also the home button stops working. I have tried many different ways and yes I have rooted it but I simply cannot get xposed to work without getting that horrible system ui fail. Also when i open the xposed app after flashing it says xposed has not been installed so please CAN SOMEONE HELP ME.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
The one thing you haven't described is whether you cleaned up dalvik cache etc which I presume you did.

Also what version of PhilZ you're using? I know 6.59 should work.

There's a new XPosed apk released by [MENTION=372424]rovi[/MENTION]o alpha 4 - did you try it also?

Being no expert I'd suggest you pose the question within the unofficial XPosed thread by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]... They'll must certainly require a log file but then should be able to help.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Wait...I'm sorry...Xposed alpha 4 is out...but it's ment to be ok also for us?

I still have Xposed alpha 2 with arter97's V3 first release...

Should I go for Xposed alpha 4 + arter97's V4 (Krait or Generic)??

Do I need other files?

On rovo89's read-only thread I see also other files for "art"...do I need also those??

Ps: the uninstaller I see there for art, is it the only one that works with last Xposed alpha 4, and so that is the only one that should be used with that?

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aayush.garg:
I have now flashed Philz version 6.59 and at what points do I need to wipe cache and dalvik etc? I will be trying again tomorrow, flashing arter's rom from stock, then installing the latest xposed apk and then the xposed generic zip file.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Don't do it! The new release of Xposed (Alpha 4 with ART uninstaller etc.) uses version 65 framework; ours is version 64. We have to wait until arter97 updates the framework for our devices before switching to the newest release of Xposed. (It's the final exam period here in Korea, so the dev is a little busy. Maybe he'll get to it next week.)

Rovo's Alpha 3 release with either arter97's Generic or Krait V4 release should work fine. I've used both with no problem. I'm currently using the Krait version.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
when you flash arter97's rom, you should click on install multiple zips, and flash lolliwiz kernel r6 or r7 as well. this will help you have everything in order, and eliminate problems.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Oh! So alpha 3 it's ok with arter97's V4?

I have alpha 2 and was thinking to put arter97's V4 in this.

Do I need alpha 3 for that?

Where can I find alpha 3 as it's gone from rovo89's thread?

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
I believe Rovo's last Xposed alpha 2 apk was actually alpha 3 without the name change. Just in case, you can check your PM. I think you should be fine with the one you have plus arter97's V4 (generic or krait version).
[Galaxy S 5 General] aayush.garg:

refer to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61472671&postcount=1984

Otherwise, use Odin 3.10.6 then flash PhilZ recovery using AP. Make sure you uncheck Auto Reboot. Then you can root using the same method, use the correct CFROOT file for the G906S. Read the OP http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/sm-g906s-k-l-owner-thread-t2807639

Need some professional advice pl

I am from India and looking to buy 906 lte a from ebay. I wanted to know if the phone can be rooted without tripping knox.

I prefer staying on kitkat than updating to android L

in india will all apps such as messaging , calls internet 2g & work fine.

I just use 2g, so am concerned if that is a problem as i read in this thread that the phone has lte and 3g in network options. So i wanted a clear idea if 2g or edge internet would work or not before I go for the phone

Would I get updates

will the cell reception be fine...

Seems there are alot of cool experienced folks here..so thought i will ask.

I also wanted to know id the messaging app works fine with regard to mms or its connected to the carrier in some way.

I want to make sure that before i get my money invested in this beast, i can make good use of it

btw, the ebay store says its a international region free unlocked version ..

Lastly if not the 906 s5 prime; is it worth buying the regular galaxy s5 or anyone can suggest a better alternative

Awaiting someone to reply
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
2g works fine but you need to check the supported frequencies of your network provider vs S5 Prime's specs.

Messaging etc. works fine - various folks around the globe have no issues with it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Yes, check your country bands and compare them to the device bands.

For rooting workout tripping Knox, you should go for KingRoot app, but you should ask them for complete support.

Messages delivery reports doesn't work in my country, while standard S5 does.

For the other stuff, it's an amazing device.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Message delivery report doesn't seem to work outside Korea on this device, at least no-one reported otherwise as far as I know.

I found once somewhere in the internet there are some country / provider specific settings for the delivery report of text messages but I couldn't find where you can edit it in the device itself.

[EDIT] found it!

If you want to get a delivery report you need to use a specific prefix placed in front of the message. E.g. for Vodafone Germany I'd have to use a prefix *N# then write a message as normal.

Somehow an automated prefix feature is disabled on our phones, I have no clue as to how to enable it.

More details here: http://senseiphone.com/carriers-prefix-code-activate-delivery-report-iphone-04022494/
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
What's the issue with AccuWeather? I just installed it and it seems to work for me.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Amazing!

But the fact is that I have the delivery/read report setting/check box on each conversation in the Messages app, and not in the generic Message app settings menu.

If I enable the delivery report through the conversation settings of any conversation in my Messages app, I then get a delivery report.

This check box does reset it self each time, so before sending every message, I should go there and check the delivery report check box for that user from his conversation settings so to receive one.

I'm still searching a solution for that as it's not the messaging app SecMms. Already tried to replace it with stock S5 where the delivery/read reports are located in the general Messages app settings, and the result was having the same settings menu as stock G906K, with olleh popup message when going into the roaming reception in the Messages app settings.

Must be some other priv-app app or a framework.

[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yes, same procedure. make sure you have the latest version of unofficial philz recovery, which is 6.59, and the latest lolliwiz r6 or r7 kernel, also the proper exposed installer if you use it.
