Well, I strongly use Xposed, so I was thinking on using [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] rom as is on Android 4.4.2 and flash a Lollipop firmware once it will be available any Xposed support for it.

I like the TW firmware, so no interest in going to CM.

The thing that I question is if Private Mode works on stock firmware with the only root, as installing a new rom would trig KNOX 0x1.....am I right?

If I flash a stock firmware using Odin, will I remain KNOX 0x0? Does it refere only to cusom roms? Root it's OK, right?

About the other things, how can I disable the stockfirmware from downloading Lollipol from OTA as it starts the download each time I connect??

I would like to remain to KitKat for Xposed, and don't download any Lollipop update.

Any clue?

Thanx!

I'm sorry, in first page you say that CWM does not work with Aroma File Manager....

You say that it doesn't work if I set Philz cwm to work with Aroma FM??

Will Aroma FM work if I run it the old through "flash .zip from sd-card" pointing to the Aroma FM file for CWM??

You seem to want to avoid rooting but tweak your firmware - this is impossible. You'll have to root (and so lose Knox) if you want to change ANY parts of your phone's software.

Not sure what you'll achieve by changing the CSC as there are no regional ROMs for SGS5 Prime - only the Korean ones.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Well, I'm ok in rooting, so I'll consider losing the KNOX 0x0.

About the CSC, I know there aren't any other regional firmwares/roms....but wasn't better to change CSC to Europe region? I remember that was good for Play Store proper localization....

And about rooting.....isn't possible to root with Towelroot flashing an old kernel that supports it, and then back the actual kernel, like it's possible for regular S5?? A custom recovery is not needed because can be done by Odin, su it can result in a stock rooted device...at least for KitKat...dunno for Lollipop.

Please let me know.

they have custom stock kernels here. you can flash thru twrp.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Is that a custom ROM as well?

Edit: Looks like it. Could you also help translate the difference between the kernel in that topic, and this one? http://bbs.sonyue.com/thread-106257-1-1.html
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Ok ok ok, first of all...TWRP?? I've found a twrp recovery on some Korean forum that is marked as for S5 Prime, mixed with another version of Philz recovery rather then last release (md5 was different). About what verso of TWRP are you talking about? Where did you find it??

About the kernels..are those in the thread flashable only with TWRP or can I use any recovery, like Philz recovery? (I think it's the only other custom recovery available)

You say they are custom stock kernel....but they are "custom" in which way??

I can't find them....are they in first post?

Ah!!! Another question about recovery....do you think TWRP it's better then Philz? If so...in which cases? Dose it trig KNOX 0x1 as Philz??

I see that they are talking about another rom..or at least it looks like this, so two different custom roms!!

One is Lollipop based I see..but did you understood if the other one or even for the Lollipop one there's some reference to any KitKat version??

Tnx in advice!

[Galaxy S 5 General] kardinal969:
Something has come up

Update 3:

I just installed cm 12.1 5.1.1 booted like a rocket no problems with the latest bootloader OE1. Will check if the modem has improvement or same. Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 2:

So i tried to flash again full Odin OE1.

Things to note:

1. if you use root method in OP after flashing you might get stuck at Samsung boot so you should remove battery and then reboot to recovery (POWER BUTTON, Vol - ) and do factory reset then wipe cache. (The internel storage will get wiped too). then reboot and your good to go.

2. if you tried to install SpaceXRom even if you wiped system + data + cache you will get random reboot at samsung boot and will reboot continuously. ( I didnt tried with CM).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

update 1:

i flashed back the whole OB7 stock and rooted + twrp and spacexrom all good now.

i dont know what was the problem but will investigate further.

So anyone flashed OE1 + rooted + cm please feedback. Thanks

------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

i flashed the new OE1 modem and bootloader and it bootloops with spacexrom.

I will try with cm or otherwise flash back OB8 bootloader only and investigate further.

Thanks

[Galaxy S 5 General] Weild Hayn:
Thanks man :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
well, i have just moved from fiji, back to the states, and have not been on here in quite a while. so i am way behind on what is going on. so i took the time last night to read up on the last twenty pages of this thread, and it all seems very confusing to me. so many posts about different problems trying to upgrade, and a lot of posts saying that the battery life was horrible, and no one has confirmed if you can use exposed installer yet, or not. so, although i definitely want to try the new system, i don't want to do it if i can't use exposed installer, and if the battery life sucks. so i was waiting until i saw something confirming that those things are fixed.

what do you think about it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Hi, welcome back.

Let me try and summarise things as I've experienced them.

I haven't tried any of the lollipop based custom ROMs, waiting for CM12.1 to be stable and mostly bugless. Hoping to get lollipop 5.1 on CM before stock.

Since March 2015 we're having a second ROM update by Samsung. Even if lollipop 5.0.1 - still respect!

I'm very happy with the stock ROM at the moment. Official CWM auto root works flawlessly, also PhilZ recovery v6.56. I experience no force close on anything whatsoever. Battery life is more than acceptable.

Wanam isn't supporting lollipop yet so the question is what are you using it for.

Majority of Wanam's functionality you can get from Google store apps so in fact you won't notice much of a difference of lacking Wanam.

In the upside you get Samsung native apps all working fine.

There you go, any questions please shout.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Can you link the last Philz recovery you use?

You say that most Wanam features are available through Play Store....but where??

Please link them here.

Thanks a lot!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
ok. well first i use a lot more with exposed installer than just wanam. i also use commandr, ds battery saver, ex-themer, expandable volume, gravity box, greenify, hide no sim, kitkat sd card full access, lucky patcher, wanam and youtube adaway. and a few others. so exposed is important to me. several of these are vital, and definite deal breakers.

so i guess my first question would be,

is it just wanam that doesn't work, or the full exposed installer?

then i would like to ask if you have a link to the latest philz, and a link for the second ROM from samsung? lastly, do you think the second rom from samsung is better than the rom from miscom? if so, why?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
XPosed installer seems to have been ported to Android 5.0 though I personally don't use it.

Things like Lucky Patcher appear to be available as stand alone apps - just Google it.

SD card permission isn't a problem anymore on lollipop - even on stock ROMs.

I installed the initial lollipop update from Sammobile and upgraded to the following May release via Kies.

As to the differences to [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] ROM - I personally prefer the layout and functionality of lollipop over kit Kat though both ROMs are good.

Though you gotta consider that lollipop is the future and KitKat won't be developed any further.

I found PhilZ recovery from references in this thread. PM me if you need a copy as I don't recall the direct link anymore.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Does someone know where to get or how to make a deodexed stock Lollipop firmware rom from stock firmware?

Xposed finally works, but it needs deodexed, so as I'd like to stay stock on everything, I just need a deodexed stock Lollipop rom.

Tnx.

[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I didn't say I used a custom ROM;) I'm on latest Lollipop based stock rooted.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:

? do you know anything about this spacex rom?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Folks talking about SpaceX ROM though I ain't tested it. There's also CM based one however I'm waiting for it to become more stable and lollipop 5.1 based.

Funny enough [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION]'s add ons worked on the initial stock lollipop release but I couldn't get them to work on the latest version... Though haven't yet exploited all options.

So the Korean bootanimation as well as dialer symbols are still present (Korean symbols on the dialer got very small and hardly noticeable though I am using TrueDialer anyway so don't care about the stock dialer)

What links are you looking for?

I think the new stock ROM is rock solid stable, fast and good battery life - def worth giving it a try.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
i need the link to download the first update, and then the latest update of stock lollipop that you are using. i heard it is better to load the first update, and then upgrade to the latest upgrade. i would prefer a zip file that i can flash with philz, but can also use an image file if i need to. i am also interested in testing the artware97 rom from the post just below this one.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Can you share the last Philz?

About the rom, I'm quite interested in artware97's rom. It's a deodexed Lollipop rom based on BOB8 and he does it also for our device.

I haven't tested it yet, but I assume should work with Xposed as the most working method for using Xposed on Lollipop Samsung is also from arter97.

That rom installs only the system, so maybe with new bootloader, modern and kernel might even work.

I also haven't noticed any performance or otherwise improvement by arter97's ROM. It's supposed to work with XPosed though I didn't get around to test it.

I've installed CM12.1 yesterday and so far quite happy with it but need more time to form an opinion. But it's certainly smoother and much more customizable than stock - this is for certain!
