Agreed. arter97's rom seems fine for about 2 or 3 battery cycles, then I get massive drain. Rebooting, clearing dalvik and cache don't seem to help either. I suspect a kernel wakelock preventing my phone from deep sleeping. I use lolliwiz kernel and have had to reflash it before for acting up. I'm curious if people using arter97's rom with stock kernel are experiencing similar issues.

I just went back to stock kit kat 4.4.2 (ANK1) and debloated it. I have KK lolliwiz r7 for now. If the battery starts sucking ass again, I'll be shopping for a new phone. I really regret selling my Galaxy Note II (SHV-E250K); it wasn't as fast or high tech as the g906, but it ran great on a few different unofficial CM12/12.1 based releases. IMHO, the Galaxy S3 (SHV-E210) and Galaxy Note II (SHV-E250) were two of the best phones Samsung ever made. The S5 on lolliflop needs a 5600 mAh battery just to make it through the day - f***ing ridiculous.

HI there,

I am using the latest arter97 ROM fully working with xPosed and I have to say I have no problems at all with my phone. xposed works great and with apps such as amplify and greenify it helps to extend battery life. I can easily get a full day (9am to 8pm) with a single charge and come home with around 10 to 15% battery left. With slightly heavier usage naturally the battery will be depleted quicker but when your phone is not being used it hardly uses any battery with the xposed modules.

Now in terms of performance as you expect with the specs it is an absolute beast and no probelms there again for me.

I don't quite get how many people here are complaining about batter drain and the phone overheating. I personally face no battery/heat problems and I recommend you to install the latest arter97 ROM with the lolliwiz r7 kernel and xposed, if needed.

Hope I helped :)

take a look gyes!!the min is 1958..Νot to be 300 min?
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
stock kernel is just as bad.

yeah, i tried to go back to miscom's rom from a backup yesterday, but the fingerprint reader doesn't recognize my fingerprint, and it tells me that the alternate password is wrong. so i am stuck at the logon screen. aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggg! i guess i will have to start from the beginning.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
I read somewhere on the Miscom rom thread that fingerprints get lost when restoring a backup; search is down ATM, so I can't find the exact post to link. Looks like a fresh install is in store.

I tried dirty flashing the most recent Miscom rom for S and K variants (based on ANK1). However, it turned my phone into a K variant with Olleh apps. Then, I got an error message saying my phone wasn't registered on KT's network. (Of course not, I'm on SK telecom's network.) So, I just reflashed stock firmware for S; I'm not going to hassle with Odin and flashing modems on top of Miscom. Since I'm in Korea, the K and S differences (i.e., carrier specific apps / bloat) matter. Too bad, I wanted to try Miscom's rom, but debloated stock with lolliwiz will have to do for now. At least my battery isn't draining by 1% every 30 seconds I'm looking at the screen.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Do you use Hangouts for regular sms app? In case, does it work good?

I am still on stock kernel and never tried Lolliwiz. How can I check if I'm facing that issue you say, as I don't have any comparisons?

I Havre arter97's rom BOE1 and I'm ok with it, but I haven't tried Lolliwiz kernel yet, as I told up here.

World you guys recommend that?

A question about last Xposed V6 for snapdragon.... Did you guys just flashed using TWRP over V5 Krait without any problems??

Please report.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
funny you should mention the battery life, because my phone has been sitting around for three days now, and i have tried to opened it many, many, many times with different codes, to no avail. but even after three days off of the charger and me trying to get into it, it is still at 93% percent battery. WOW! i can't wait to get miscom's rom back on this thing and get my great battery life back.

miscom use to have a dedicated download for the "s" and the "k". but now it is unifide. oh, well. i REALLY HATE that i can't get into that old backup, and restore it, as it was perfect. i wish i had never of upgraded to lollipop. is there no way to go into a back up and delete security information??? lol.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Are you experiencing unexplained battery drain? If not, then your phone is probably deep sleeping normally, and there is no need to investigate any further. BBS is the most comprehensive app to check for kernel wakelock issues if you think there might be a problem though.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Yeah, that sucks about the backup not working. I think you would be okay flashing the latest unified Miscom rom though; 1800 MHz should work for LTE with either modem (K or S). Just uninstall the KT carrier crap. Alternatively, you could go back to ANJ2a Miscom and flash the NJ2 modem for the S variant; or, extract the modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin from our ANK1 stock firmware, create a tar.md5 file, and flash it through Odin. Miscom never made an S based modem file for his latest rom; by then, everyone was looking to get on LP.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
WOW! weird happening. i seem to be stuck on lollipop. when i tried to unlock the miscom backup, one of the options it normally gives you is to use your google account to unlock it, which is what i did in the past. but now, trying to do that, even when i put in the correct google information, it says that it is incorrect. so that killed me, and i have no explaination. then i went back to stock lolli, and tried to just go from scratch. so i dl miscom's latest rom, and tried to load it. but here is the thing, after choosing english, setting up google accnt and putting in my wifi connection, it takes me to a screen to add the samsung account without a way to skip this. and it says that without putting in the samsung accnt info, that the phone is locked because of an unusual factory restore. and so i made a samsung account on my computer, and tried it, and it just continually says that the operation failed. so i can't seem to go back to miscom's rom. any advice here?

one other thing, because of curiousity, i allowed the stock lolli to complete an update, and now i can't seem to flash philz recovery, and thus can't root my device. so i am just all screwed up here. haven't ever had this much trouble doing anything with this phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
You're on an LP bootloader. Try flashing ANK1 stock firmware through Odin (root, install Philz). Flash Miscom with Philz. I have heard of some devices getting locked down once they upgrade to LP. AFAIK, our devices should have unlocked bootloaders; I've migrated from KK to LP and back a couple of times now, but I always flashed the stock firmware through Odin before proceeding to any custom options.

[MENTION=5242015]stevae[/MENTION] Any updates on your Miscom b/u woes?

For those on 906s variants, any feedback on the latest BOH1 firmware?
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
well, i gave samsung an ear-full twice. then i reloaded a backup of vn rom, and i am using it right now. while i still can't get past the fingerprint, but the alt code to get past the lock screen works. soon i will go back to miscom's rom. i'm just giving samsung time to get my account info straight. but also the battery life on vn rom is very good as well. everything seems to be better than arter97's. as soon as i have miscoms newest rom back up and running, i will report.
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
In sorry...does Hangouts work also as regular sms app? In case, does it work good?

G906S in China

Hi,

Just took my G906S to Beijing. Working here now so I got a phone plan from China Mobile with access to their 4G network.

I can make calls and send SMS messages but the internet access is virtually non existant. Usually my phone shows 4G connection at the top of the screen but here its just shows 'G'. It's so slow it's as if it's running on the old 2G network.

I figured if the calls and messages work then so should the 4G internet.

Do I need to add LTE bands to the phone or something to get it working?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I'm afraid you won't be able to add any bands to your phone.

You should check with your mobile provider what LTE / 3G frequencies they're using and compare with the phone's specs. If the frequencies are compatible it would mean the you should check the device itself.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Well guys, after a good 4 months or so on Dokdo-Project ROM, somehow the team has decided to take a hiatus or break up the project team entirely.

http://en.dokdo-project.com/dl/lentisltekor.php

The ROM was pretty good, but the latest build had quite a bit of FC issues and rebooting.

Wondering which ROM would be good to move on to since they have stopped developing.

Any ideas, people? :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Can you point at that port?

Tnx.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

I see their builds up for download and last is version 7.0.2.

Are you sure they have quit?

In case...do you know why?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Quoted from Dokdo-Project Facebook Page:

We are here to announce that the Dokdo Project Rom service will no longer be provided. We have been running this Dokdo Project team from the year 2013 to 2015. During this period, we experienced financial problems as well as lack of developers. On August 23, 2015 these problems have reached the climax so we had to suspend the team and services. We will have a month starting August 24th to prepare for the team to get running again. However, if it takes longer than planned, we will have the shutdown the entire team and services we provide. We are very sorry and we ask for your understanding that this was the only choice we could make in these kind of circumstances. We will notifi you again soon.

During the re-preparation period, services below will no longer function.

> App+ feature in firmware

> Downloading Firmware and updates

> Dokdo Project homepage (Including Bug reporting)

(Beside these services, firmware currently installed on your device will function just fine)

Sorry for the inconvenience. We hope to see you again with good news.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Dam! I was hoping they'd reach a state of providing a solid stable ROM.

The only way now to fix battery issues and get a frequently updated/supported ROM for me is wait until the end of my contact in December 2016 and get a new phone:(

After all the trial and error I'm back to pure stock ROM, not even rooted but the battery life feels better than on any custom ROMs (and I tried them all)

[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
As I'd like to stick as more similar to stock as possible, I should then go for kykint's rom..pushed also by the fact that I have a 906K device.

As it's a port...what are the collateral effects?

Is there something that is not working correctly or need particular attention on its use?

Does the sms delivery report work?

Are video calls working?

Would be nice to know all this. Tnx.

I observed very less negligible wakes compared to stock.

Regarding video call i cant test that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Thanks for the feedback. I need some of the SKT carrier stuff for my phone to work properly though. When I flashed the last Miscom rom, it turned my phone into a K variant with Olleh apps and even tried to register my device on their network. I had to Odin SKT stock firmware to get my service back to normal. In Korea, you can use a KT device with an SKT sim card and vice-versa, but you lose some of the features and functionality that come with your service plan. Plus, you have to register the device on the network again if it shows up as a K (or L) variant. Even editing the build.prop won't get you all the way there; it's just not worth the hassle (or the potential earful from my better half). So, I try to stick to stock or as close to it as possible.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

I don't think I'm going to risk another flash from stock b/c of the potential native video call issues - still on KK (NK1) with lolliwiz r7, and my battery life has never been better. Unless we get 5.0.2 or 5.1, I won't bother updating.
[Galaxy S 5 General] rastigo:
There is an sms app called Yaata by kajozord available on google play. Will someone please download the same from Google play and confirm if by making YAATA the default sms app after installation; do the sms delivery reports works or not on the s5 prime outside Korea.

Thanks for your understanding

EDIT: SINCE [MENTION=6021435]botwa2000[/MENTION] CONFIRMS that message delivery reports wont work with either stock or other apps, am gonna buy g900f 32gb s5 .....it has root without trippin knox as well...huge development community ....importantly available as cheap @ 250USD...

I so very wanted to buy this 906 model, but with the limitations in terms of apps and developer community, limited functionality it has, i dont think its worth it ....thats my opinion.....correct me if i am wrong.....
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I downloaded and tested the app now.

Actually I quite liked it however the delivery reports still aren't working. And there's no option to add a custom prefix to the messages (which would actually enable the delivery reports).

Reverting back to hangouts:(

[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
I don't think it does exist a Miscom rom based on Lollipop.

I have arter97's "artware Project" rom with Lollipop and it's fine, but also kykint's stock build from G901F OE2 seams to be good! Look fior it a couple of pages back here.

To root, first restore functioning firmware ad stock. Once you're there, just install a custom recovery (I'd rather say TWRP) and then from there simply flash from recovery last SuperSu 2.46 and you'll end up with root.

Ps: impossible to go back to 0x0. You'll keep that for ever.

Cheers.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Just a feeling, but the last build seems to give me a better battery life (I2)
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
which last build are you referring to? right now i have gone back to lollipop stock, and rooted it. i tried to go back to kitkat 4.4, but no matter which rom i tried the fingerprint scanner wouldn't work. it would allow me to register my fingerprints, but then would not open the phone with them. i tried several roms, and then decided to go back to lollipop stock rom. so i am now on just the boe1 stock lollipop, and the battery life is excellent if you turn off wifi, when not using it. the only thing is, i don't think you can put xposed installer on the stock rom, even if it is rooted. i have rooted my stock rom, but can't seem to get any of the xposed modules to work. so anyone in the know, please tell me if i am wrong with this, as it is the only thing missing from my phone now. i would love to get xposed on here, and any news of any new custom roms which work, with decent battery life would be helpful as well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Your rom has to be deodexed for xposed to work. Install the latest stock (BOI2) with Odin: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/55692/G906SKSU1BOI2_G906SSKC1BOI2_SKC/

After rooting and installing TWRP 2.8.7, flash Nova Rom 1.3.5: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-novarom-v1-0-t3175286. The rom was put together by [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5441270]kykint[/MENTION] (lolliwiz kernel). Xposed is included in the rom. It's deodexed, and the fingerprint scanner should work. I couldn't find any info in the dedicated thread, so you could ask over there for confirmation. From what I've read, this is the best custom rom for our device ATM. Otherwise, you're looking at the latest artware (BOH1) which is deodexed stock with a few modifications. (I did try version 1.3 of Nova rom but couldn't get native video calling to work so I went back to stock KK.)
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
Amazing work! I've just found it out now that there's a Nova for G906K [emoji106]

Is it [MENTION=5441270]kykint[/MENTION] 's work mentioned a few pages back that it's now merged in a Nova rom?

About our device I have a question about the live lockscreen that I've just found out automatically set today after midnight (I'm in Italy and it has been midnight already and have all the calendars active and have noticed that there's a Korean holiday set into the Samsung calendar) showing a some sort of peach tree on some hills on a valley, and the tree is moving (as it's sa live wallpaper).

I can't make any screenshot because it's on the lock screen!!!

It's nice and would like to have it as home and lock screen, not only for today or on the lock screen.

Where can I get them? I assume there are others also for other Korean holidays!

Please help finding them!

I couldn't install v1.3 somehow got a boot loop

all the time.

Now I'm on v1.3.5 since yesterday and it seems great also in terms of battery life (by great battery life I obviously mean it's not worse than the stock;)

Though it claims to have XPosed built in I still had to flash the latest arter97 framework otherwise it wouldn't work.

The ROM is LP 5.0.2 and seems to be updated frequently. There are supposedly a lot of sgs6 features though I'm not too familiar with them and haven't tested.

Let's see who brings us 5.1.1 or 6.0 first!
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
thanks for all of this. i have had a few problems getting the BO12 on my device, because odin wouldn't recognize the connection. but now it seems to be running fine. so, just to make sure, since i do have the "s" version, i then need to flash the rom first, and then the package for "s"? his instructions don't say anything about the install of the extra package for other than "k" variety. he just says install the rom, wait ten minutes (not sure what that's about) and then enjoy the rom. any clues are appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Once you flash the rom (which is K), you'll need to flash the add on zip for the S variant: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347823341 Flash the rom and S add on zip right after, then reboot.

Hi everyone, I am new here.

I am thinking to buy a phone in $400 its my maximum range. In my country used note 4 is for around $450 and S5 906 variant is for around $300.

I have few questions in my mind I am hoping someone would help me out.

Can you guys share some pros and cons of this phone?

Does it heat up while running basics tasks browsing or during gaming e.g?

Hows the gaming performance?

Whats the maximum screen on time you got? How much time does battery take to recharge from 0 to 100%?

Which variant is better and dev support wise should I get? I need band 3, 1800mhz for 4G here.

How is the dev support? I dont see any custom roms and kernels here for this phone? Does this phone have CM official support?

And does it worth buying?

Can you fellas suggest which phone should I go for? Another phone on my list is Oppo R7 plus which is for $400 brand new here. Note 4 have good dev support however this phone have no dev support. I am confused!
