hey. so i upgraded to the latest philz, and then loaded cm 12. but didn't realize cm12 doesn't come with google apps. never used it before. so two questions, how do you get your computer to recognize your phone with a new load of cm 12? and how in the hell do you download gaps to put it on this phone (906s)? i went to http://www.technobuzz.net/download-google-apps-cyanogenmod-12-cm12-lollipop/

and dl the gaps from there, but the phone will NOT load it. so is there a special link for the proper gaps for this phone and version of cm 12?

I do hope we're gonna have something similar to the S6's Touchwizz.

There won't be many alternatives roms like the regular S5, let's hope Samsung hasn't truly forgotten about us.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
thank you so much. i appreciate it. just usually always used custom roms that were as close to stock as possible, but with all the bells and whistles. so using cm 12 is a very different experience for me. every gaps package i tried had problems. so this one worked out perfectly. i now have good control over my phone again.

it seems to be pretty smooth. how is the battery life?

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

yeah, with the stats of this phone, i'm really surprised more dev's didn't pick it up. this phone has so much potential. but if they don't dev. it, there's no way to show that. might just end up with an s6 in the end, for nothing more than the development aspect.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kyogiro:
Well, you need to be able to buy it. If I have stayed only in France, I could only buy the G901F variant. I'm not sure if there were any other Snapdragon S805 variant available in the US. Because I frequently fly in and out of China, it was somewhat easy to get a hold on this phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
but it was quite easy to buy it over the internet. t-dimensions gave me a great deal, and have been excellent to deal with since.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

after loading cm 12, my phone is not able to use titanium backup, and it can't see my ext. sd card. anybody else experience this?
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa.phatt:
my SM-G906s doesnt enter sleep mode. the battery stats show that its awake the whole time. and android sys is eating up most of the battery power. and the phone heats up(powers button area) at times. im running the latest NK1 4.4.2 unrooted firmware.

Please help me figure out the issue!
[Galaxy S 5 General] kyogiro:
I have the same problem whereas I'm on the stock rom or miscom's one. I installed Greenify (it works without root) and wakelock detector. Sometimes I managed to have 50% of deep sleep.

But others times, others apps are acting crazy like Gmail which kept my phone awake half of last evening.

I didn't find any satisfying solution apart from cutting off the data connection which I need...
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Can you post screenshots of your stock power saving and display settings?
[Galaxy S 5 General] xNiNELiVES:
OK can some someone refer me to a guide that shows me how to get cyanogenmod on my G906K? I have been looking around everywhere and I see no support for the S5 LTE-A devices.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
there is a thread here on xda about the 906s/k and an unofficial cm 12 rom. also, if you search my latest posts, another poster lists the correct page to get all of it. i don't remember specifically, or i'd list it for you, but it is there. i have it on my phone now, but there are a few problems. still worth taking a look at. hope this helps.

A few details about my usage. I just installed Battery Guru from Qualcomm, it has just learned "my pattern" during the course of 4 days. It has been on its own for 24 hours now without effect I must say.

I'm currently in China, I'll be back in Europe during summer time, so every google services don't work without a VPN. I noticed that sometimes, when I sleep without accessing the VPN, Gmail could be quite the battery killer, I think because it tries to sync without success. But that wasn't always the time.

On the other hand, I've tried to turn off sync too, but it was about the same. The thing is, I do not know what's causing the wakelocks.

[/COLOR]i also have similar battery stats as you have..except for the awake bar is fully blue. and i noticed that while i carge my phone the touch screen misbehaves..as in when i scroll through the homescreen apps get opened...is this a problem with the processor?

and also when i open wechat moments the pictures endup in a zoomed manner...same thing happens to whats app profile pictures also...
[Galaxy S 5 General] kyogiro:
I have the same bug with wechat or whatsapp. I noticed if I turn on the auto-rotation, it kind of resolve the problem from to time. It doesn't always work.

I had full blue awake bar also before I started to use Greenify. Despite my efforts, battery life is still very poor. I dunno if it is linked Android Kit Kat, I hope so, so Lollipop could resolve our battery drain problem.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Finally! Offical lollipop!!!

At least for the K and L variants
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Gonna flash asap!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
It took all this time and its 5.01? lol Samsung.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I can't see Lollipop via Kies yet so downloading from Sammobile.

Would be curious if the root, PhilZ recovery and latest [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] add on that removes Korean symbols all work on Lollipop.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
Updating now my sgs 5 g906k trough kies!!! Yes!!! Thanks Samsung!!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
Impressive result!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Can it be rooted with the old CF auto root?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
It was my question too. I'm not going to flash it if I cannot root it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Tested it, caused a bootloop :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
Arghhh.... now we have to wait for a root...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Maybe a false alarm. The lollipop update itself is just bootlooping my phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] irresisti:
Finally on 5.0.1, happy lolipop has landed for our device. Updated thru Kies. All settings and data retained. So far everything working very smoothly
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
No boot loop and problems here! Everything works well for now.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Anyone else flash through Odin? Using 3.09 and even with a wipe/factory reset I'm bootlooping on startup.

edit: I'll try Kies
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
Rooted?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Kies3 says my device isn't supported :confused:

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Okay I think the issues with Odin are it isn't flashing the lollipop bootloader update for some reason, causing a device bootloop.

edit: FINALLY got it working through Odin 3.09.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
Not rooted. I have root before and have UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 12, then i have restored to factory, wiped data and cache and Dalvik cache, installed latest stock Kitkat and then have updated to Lollipop through Kies 3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
Here is some software info
[Galaxy S 5 General] sunrainsky:
How did you get a score higher than Note 4?

Anyway, I was reading some comparisons of lollipop vs Kitkat

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...s-Galaxy-S5-with-KitKat-UI-comparison_id64756

Seems mostly cosmetic. I suppose the lesser lag is really welcomed since I do get occasional lag.

I could never understand the fact that the S5 Prime's ram never really was 1gb more than the normal S5 out of the box running.

I think I'll rather wait for root feature as well as Galaxybox to be lollipop compatible before getting into the hype of lollipop. Galaxybox adds such a plethora of features that is more than just cosmetic.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
I have done nothing to get it higher like it is!
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
2 big questions remains it seems, somebody know more about that ?

1. does old CF-autoroot works (if not, what about flashing supersu zip from recovery ?)

2. is there way to go back to 4.4.2 (knowing samsung i guess not)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
Just updated, CF-autoroot works well.

Don't know for the downgrade.

My only question is can I install Xposed framework by flashing from recovery. I read on XDA that the lollipop variant of Xposed is not working with TouchWiz ROMs, is that the case?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:

Yes and yes

---------- Post added at 23:12 ---------- Previous post was at 23:06 ----------

Kies didn't show Lollipop fit my rooted G906K and I couldn't flash via Odin - got a bootloop.

So I had to wipe clean, go back to stock then could upgrade via Kies.

I'm missing [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] add-on to remove the Korean characters from the dialer and H/H+ icon instead of 3G. Flashed the latest, it didn't work.

---------- Post added at 23:13 ---------- Previous post was at 23:12 ----------

XPosed is not yet compatible with Lollipop (only experimental but not commonly available). Should be released soon.

---------- Post added at 23:16 ---------- Previous post was at 23:13 ----------

Maybe a silly question but you haven't extracted the file prior to flashing, have you? It should be flashed 'as is'.

---------- Post added at 23:20 ---------- Previous post was at 23:16 ----------

Anyone tried to uninstall bloatware via Titanium backup? It says 'uninstalled' but the apps are still there in the drawer.

Something is wrong with removal of system apps here!

Also anyone got an issue with the notification 'Software update disclaimer updated' appearing after each reboot?
[Galaxy S 5 General] slymester123:
Sigh. Reached 90% of downloading the lollipop update from sammobile, almost an hour, and my internet decided to crap out on me.

So gonna re-download it again and keep my fingers crossed.

How did you root? CF AutoRoot or flash SuperSU from recovery?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I flashed CF autoroot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
They are outrageously slow! I ended up flashing via Kies which was much much faster.
[Galaxy S 5 General] louie875:
I've noticed a few bugs.

1. Every time I restart my phone I have to accept the update terms and conditions

2. My heart rate sensor is on permanently, so evey time something moves close to it the red light activates.

Have any of you guys got these bugs?
[Galaxy S 5 General] djowfj:
louie875, i have the same bugs.

The Heart Rate problem, i fix uninstalling the Google Fit and Rebooting the phone.. but probably disabling ‘Activity detection’ in Google Fit settings and then reboot the phone will solve too.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aZzz.bZzz:
i only see terms and conditions re accept bug

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

i dont know how you guys get root

both cf autoroot and flashing supersu through philz recovery gives me Auth error in odin. 3.10 and 3.09
[Galaxy S 5 General] jurislasenbergs:
Yes even when i have disabled some google apps i have to disable them from launcher second time. And Every time after restart my phone I have to accept the update terms and conditions.
[Galaxy S 5 General] juming:
Disable Samsung find my phone feature in security first, disable all security feature before flashing is recommended.
[Galaxy S 5 General] avikzone:
except the annoying Samsung agreement everything works fine. Root option working fine and along with full camera option.

Edited : Battery seems to be draining out very fast. Or is it just my imagination. ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa.phatt:
lollipop is not working well with my phone..camera fails. light sensor doesnt work. direction sensor doesnt work. please help me fix this

camera says 'server error, please restart camera"
[Galaxy S 5 General] irresisti:
I also have the terms and condition bug.

But the heart rate sensor behaves normal.

Battery drainage was very high in the first hours after upgrade to lolipop but it has now stabalized and is back to normal
[Galaxy S 5 General] louie875:
Thanks for this, I did install s health for the heart beat monitor part to see if it would somehow reset the sensor software. I have done what your suggested, disabling and restarting and it seems fine. Annoying though as I enjoyed using Google fit.....
[Galaxy S 5 General] kennytung:
Is there anyway to flash the bootloader separately through Odin?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
I am using Go Launcher, and I have a bug each time I use the multitask 'shutter' from Android to close all my running applications. Go Launcher stops and restarts.

Otherwise everything is fine.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aZzz.bZzz:
this was the exact solution, thank you very much and pay attention everyone who face "Auth" error while flashing
[Galaxy S 5 General] BLfan:
Does anyone use S Note as it does not work properly after the lollipop update. It closes when you try to view a page?

I also sometimes get missing icons after a reboot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa.phatt:
won't flashing bootloader relock the the phone? i mean if it is a unlocked phone?
[Galaxy S 5 General] kennytung:
Actually there is an option in Odin to select to flash bootloader also, anyone have bootloop when flashing using odin can try flashing again ticking that option. I tried myself, it worked.
[Galaxy S 5 General] santa.phatt:
and it didnt re lock your bootloader? you ticked the UPDATE BOOTLOADER or selected the firmware through the BL option?
[Galaxy S 5 General] kennytung:
I don't know whether it re-locked my bootloader again? But I can still root and flash custom recovery into it.

Yes, I ticked the Phone Bootloader Update.

Hello,

I was very happy to see the Lollipop coming to our phones but from my first impression i think that with kitkat we had better battery life is that correct? Any solution to this pronlem to gain our old battery duration? Also the problem with G icon in data services is still continuing i mean that when the icon is G i can not listen what they are saying during the call. And when there is no icon nothing then when i make a call and the other one answer it i can not hear a word but the line is opened. Have we made any progress for this problem. For the last problem i would be very grateful if someone can help.

I had the same "update confirm" bug when updating to Lollipop. I hated it so I downgraded to 4.4.2, got the firmware off sammobile. My phone is not rooted.

Before I did the lollipop update my phone was updated to 4.4.4 and I was able to get that thru OTA with the SIM out, it was sometime in December or January. I'm in Canada on the Rogers network (similar to AT&T)

I searched like crazy for the 4.4.4 update, I can't find it. Does anyone here know how I can get the 4.4.4 update? Kies doesn't show it and OTA says I have the latest.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Francois974:

Hi dose this go away after a few restarts
[Galaxy S 5 General] louie875:
I have just found something that looks very promising, if you click the update button to check for OTA update you no longer get the SKT Usim error. It actually processes and tells you that you have the latest updates installed. So hopefully we can now receive OTA updates without taking our SIM cards out or having to use keis.

Battery Life poor?

I have been using this Lollipop ROM for a little over a week and I have to say it is a flawless update. I clean wiped everything and flashed via Odin (Sammobile provided the update file). My only problem is that I swear the battery life has reduced drastically from the previous KitKat version. I have attached the 2 battery screenshots and can anyone speculate whether this is normal or not. I haven't changed how much I use my phone and on KitKat at around 5pm I would usually have at least 40% battery left whereas with 5.0.1 I have been coming home with around >20% battery left!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Moccojim:
No problem of battery life for me, I have still 61% currently after 11 hours.

Finger Scanner Bug

I've been having this error for over a month and I have learnt to ignore the fact that my phone has a fingerprint scanner but I really want to use it again! It happened on 4.4.2 and I wiped data, wiped the fingerprint apk data using Titanium but in vain. I thought maybe lollipop would fix it but as you can see it hasn't.

[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:

Usually it kills fingerprint scanner and you need to do a clean install in order to fix it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aayush.garg:
Yeah I originally restored from backup when I was on 4.4.2 but in order to install 5.0.1 I did a full clean wipe and flashed with odin but the error message still comes up.
