Just double checking that this file is for the Active. Last download had S5 Active in the file name. No biggy just checking,

Edit: Flashed anyway. LOL Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Whoops, sorry my bad linked the wrong file i fixed it now its right. this is what happens when you stay up for 24hrs straight to finish a rom lol:silly::silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
if you downloaded [MENTION=5031008]LuckyColdJohnson[/MENTION] then re download i linked the wrong file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyburke:
thanks!!

any changes in beta 2 that we should know about?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_paranoid_android:
There is a change log on the OP listing all the changes in the various releases.... as well as in a post on the previous page (page 5). :laugh:

[MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] Thanks again for your hard work look forward to the new build (downloading now).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyburke:
thanks... i see now what happened.

i was looking down at the 2nd or 3rd post, from the OP, which also has a "changelog" button, but this is all that appears.

Changelog V1.0.0 Beta

Based on initial ...NE4 Firmware release

De-Odexed

De-Knoxed

All AT&T bloat removed

custom bootanimation enabled

init.d support

KoolKit performance enhancements applied
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Alright I'm all set up. Just backed up data, Factory wiped, flashed rom, let it boot and sit for ten. Then went back into recovery flashed my data back, installed busybox, reboot, install exposed framework reboot, installed wanam, reboot, all is good.

The Gods Approve This Post, From The Ghost Of Sparta's S5 active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
busybox is installed by default should be no need to instal it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
LOL. The sound in that ROM was louder. Do you think maybe next release you can bake Viper4Audio in the Active ROM? Maybe some funky ringtones and notifications? I have some files for touch sounds you can use and can make/create ringtone request's. Thanks again bro !!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
The app was there but for some reason it was not installed(busybox script) so super user, wanam, and Xposed would hang at the loading circle. Might have been the fact that I moved the base zip from internal to SD card. But none the less I'm up and running and this version is great especially that new bootanimation. Also is there a way to keep my settings in wanam so when I flash a rom I can get my settings back after a new rom flash? Thanks again

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
in "That rom" im assuming you mean the wrong one that i linked first? i pulled that mod out because of major distortion in midrange tones. i havent had a chance to re-do it with different values yet. i can definetly create an addin that could be used to replace system sounds ringtones etc. I try not to add mods like that directly in the rom, at leastnot until we get aroma working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
request

I need someone to do me a huge favor; can you please flash the ROM following the instructions below verbatim, word for word with no deviation and let me know of Superuser works and also please verifiy the busybox 1.22.1 is installed? please do this and verify everything before installing any apps or restoring any data. I need to know exactly where the install stands.

Thanks, greatly appreciated.

[B][U][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Red"]FLASH INSTRUCTIONS[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B]
1. Copy the download to your [B]external sdcard[/B] (if you have one)
2. DO A BACKUP FIRST
3. DO A BACKUP FIRST (if unsure see step 2)
4. Reboot to SS Recovery
5. Wipe data/Factory reset (important)
6. Flash to "Stock Rom" Slot (DO NOT USE ROM SLOTS YET)
7. Reboot your device and complete the initial setup
8. Open Superuser app.
9. Click cancel when prompted to update binary
10. Reboot your device one more time
11. OpenSuperuser app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
if you back up your wanam module and then restore it along with its data it "Should" retain your settings after enabling in xposed and rebooting.

(keep in mind this version has an xPosed proof CSC features to prevent wanam and other mods from overwriting system changes)

xPosed is a great tool for certain things however, that being said it can have detrimental effects on performance and generally is not 100% compatible accross the board so i prefer to hard code the mods as much as possible.

and thanks for the report on busybox ill have to review the script and see why it isnt working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
OK that would explain why I can't get my handle bar on the notification pull down back. I made it opaque and realized I didn't like it tried to change it back but it won't take effect, but others settings in wanam will. a dalvik cache and cache wipe might enable it to reset the effect of the settings in wanam Maybe fixing that issue?

And when u say backup xposed module, you mean with titanium backup correct?

The Gods Approve This Post, From The Ghost Of Sparta's S5 active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Yes titanium backup, and my rom doesn't use a features.xml it uses a custom Koolkit.xml file which is why Wanam can't effect changes to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Mentally noted. Thank you.

The Gods Approve This Post, From The Ghost Of Sparta's S5 active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
I followed your steps and I had to towel root (V3) again.

Also had to reboot about 3 times before the binary would install.

Also had to uninstall Safestrap and install again, but I have these apks on my SD card.

But really its fine. The ROM is sick !!!! All is good and I'm setting it all up to my liking.

Love the boot animation !!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
OK thanks, I'll rewrite the script from scratch for next release and see if that helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
I'm pretty sure I have the busy box and su installs fixed for the next release
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Great to hear. Keep up the great work. And thanks:thumbup:

The Gods Approve This Post, From The Ghost Of Sparta's S5 active.

P.s. would it be possible for you to do the carrierIQ removal for the next release, would love having that.;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ALLDAT:
I just installed the most current superuser via zip file and that did the trick everything working fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
STill loving this ROM OP. Battery life and performance is amazing!!! You did a damn good job on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] robert_ayala:
Does this ROM contain a modified email app that will bypass exchange security? If not, can you add to next version please?????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Does the Wanam module not work. That option I think I saw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] robert_ayala:
Option is there but doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Try Xblast module for xposed. I have some xposed features disabled by design so Wanam may not work. The reason for this is that Wanam tends to overwrite your feature.xml file and can cause issues. Basically any xposed module that tries to write to /system/csc/feature.xml won't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
I use Wanam for theme stuff and a few other things, not a lot.

Is this a bad idea to use it? I dont notice any issues on my end.......THanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Well, not exactly a bad idea (Depending on your school of thought).

My school of thought is any third party theming app/configuration modifiaction app/settings customization app that directly effects changes to system files is kind of a security risk (I'm probably the most paranoid Dev when it comes to that) so I tend to block those from making any changes if I can,

I have noticed specifically with Wanam that it makes direct changes to the /system/csc/feature.xml file Which is a real No-No probably about 75 - 80% of the xPosed modules effect changes to the User Prefs structure located in /data/data/<Whatever app your modding> directory, these are fine and generally work pretty well.

In running through some of the features of Wanam I noticed that when you remove the module (Uninstall it not just disable it) it occasionally has a tendency to "Break" your feature.xml file making it somewhat unreadable. the average user won't notice until they try to make a mod to the file through instructions or guides found on the web and then go batsh!# crazy trying to figure out why the mod wont work.

Again, this is just my Opinion and general "modus operandi" I'm not saying don't use it Just beware that xPosed modules that write to your feature.xml are blocked by my design intentionally to prevent third party security risks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Exchange and email security

OK, So I have had a few questions from here and the Standard S5 thread about security specific mods. So I will try to explain the "Methods to my Madness" There are mods that i pick and choose to apply (or not) based on what I consider low, medium or high risk. Any mod that effects changes to or attempts to bypass basic user level security I will generally see if i can modify them and at least maintain a semblance of the original developers intentions (if the mod isnt mine that is) I consider these to be "Low" risk. Mods (such as the disabling signature checks) I tend to consider those "Medium" level risks and will only make those modifications with the inclusion of some security logging added in. The signature hack is included only because it allows for theming of or changing of system apps without the need for the original signature, you can keep the original signature or resign it using any of the popular methods available BUT you cannot leave the app unsigned, this helps prevent hackers from blindly pushing unsigned dangerous apks to your system thru some nefarious methods. Mods that I absolutely will not include are mods that intentionally bypass the ability to protect sensitve user data or sensitve company data (I.E. mods that bypass Exchange security settings for PIN codes etc.) Those mods I consider "High" risk and will not include them no matter the amount of begging, pleading or bribing that is attempted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
I can confirm this as my handle bar is broke from adjusting settings in wanam. Only fix is to remove wanam, exposed framework and a reflash which I have yet to do. See for yourself

Upcoming V1.0.0_B03 release

Whew, It's been hectic between the mods and Standard S5 release but I am about a day or two away from applying all the B03 mods to the active ROM and hope to have it posted within a week.

Hang tight folks my time is stretched pretty thin right now.

And again thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Raccroc:
So far, this rom is looking like a great start :)

Two questions:

1. When you have this ROM installed, during the Safestrap splash screen on boot, is it normal to report "SafeStrap: Disabled"? (Possibly because we are not using a ROM slot...I come from the S4 pre-firmware update world, so never used Safestrap)

2. The custom "unlock" icon on boot seems to appear and disappear randomly. Purely cosmetic, but wondering if anyone has any idea why (I'm used to it either being their or not..."sometimes" though bugs me)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
1. i would ask question one in the safestrap thread to be sure (it does this exact same thing on standard S5)

2. The custom padlock and all syscope will be gone in B03 so it will be permenant device status official
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Gearshift:
I've been contemplating getting the s5 active after my note 3 was destroyed the other day from getting thrown in a pool by some jack***. I am presuming this is the only dedicated rom to the active from what i've seen? While i didnt use safestrap on the note (was using t-mobile one on att network so i could have a custom bootloader), I am very familiar with all that, but did have a couple questions. I've been seeing a few threads about how some people have been experiencing issues with GPS lock after rooting, but havent yet located particularly specific fixes for this. Has anyone with this ROM experienced any issues with GPS or can link me to more concrete info about this? Also, I see in the log for this rom that att bloat is removed, but what about things like magazines, ant, ant other crud that no one uses? Coming from touchwiz note 3, does the s5 still have the swipe up magazine shortcut annoyance and the quick button? (this last question I will probably already have found from continued lurking of threads, but figured id include it here in case anyone would like to address it).

I just want to make sure i have all the info ahead of time so I don't end up buying a phone I'm going to be pissed off trying to root and get as I like. I had the same problem with the att note 3 I bought last november. It auto-updated to kitkat and kk bootloader, and ended up selling and buying a tmobile one because hot hadnt made towelroot yet. Been quite a nightmare trying to keep myself happy lol. I do know the bootloader is locked obviously, and as long as ss works, whatever, I just want to make sure I'm not walking into another nightmare lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
you will love the Active. You can root it and install safestrap or whatever you want to do. If you want to start fresh, you can go here to my thread. My magazine on touch wiz is there when you swipe left. Simply turn it off buy holder your finger down to bring up options. I had the Note 3 as well.

I had gps issues one time. Use my thread and be fresh out the box bro. Good luck on your purchase. You won't be disappointed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jackal2001:
I'm probably going to get the S5 Active today, only because I see now that there is a way with this custom rom to de-bloat the phone. LG G3 not yet. My only question is what happens when ATT tries to push an OTA update down to the phone? Is there a way to turn the OTA off on a custom rom? I need to do a lot of reading on safestrap, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
You can freeze the Att update. With titanium back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Unhived__Mind:
I got the active a week ago and so far love it... I to had the note 3 but with my work I was always scared I'd break it. The active is super sturdy. I rooted it with towel root added Viper 4android.. Used TiBu to freeze a bunch of stuff and really digging it... I did try Xposed and ran into a bunch of problems...the same things everyone else did... Horrid lag and S health not working... The fix I tried didn't work and yet to try the second fix. So overall very happy with it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jackal2001:
outta stock at the store. bummer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jackal2001:
Cool. I'm going to check another store tomorrow. Don't want ATT messing up your hard work by pushing down updates and possibly screwing up the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Just wanna say anybody running this rom or planning to put it on your active I just wanted to tell you guys BO3 release is smooth and runs as well as a rom can run.:D

I flashed it just 30 minutes ago and have noticed no issues at all. The GPS locked instantly, super user and busybox are already were they need to be, also no more Knox or bothersome security updates. It is snappy and responsive with the stock look so you are free to theme as you choose.

I hope you guys enjoy this and give [MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] the thanks and credit he deserves if your using his rom. Enjoy:thumbup::D

V1.0.0_B03 download is live

V1.0.0_B03 download is live in the OP​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
ROM is running solid right at start up. Great job again [MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] !!!! Thanks for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
[MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] here's the screen shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Yea, this is a smooth operating rom. Glad cstayton is deving for us. Great work being done for us. Many thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Lol, yep that goes away with the carrier branding being removed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
All I needed to know. only thing else to mention is I'm not able to switch to art runtime. Rom is still excellent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AnarchoXen:
Like a charm...very excited. I waited a week before rooting, a week before SS'ing...now I am all KoolKit!

We come along way since the Captivate. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Yea no issues here. Rom is running smooth. so nice having all the AT&T bloat ware gone without doing it my self.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
[MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] is it possible to use ninja morph or will it pretty much have the same result as xposed:what: I've never used it but seems easy enough.:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aristo 161:
Why can't you use the Rom-Slots yet? Just curious. Noobie here..

If you backup the Stock Rom with SS, I assume that's how you get back to oem Rom, just in case it blows up right? :)

Are we suppose to check the "Zip signature verification"? I did it and it didn't work, so I then did it unchecked and it went through.

I'm trying out the user-level backup.

UPdate: Flash completed. The user level backup might have worked. I still have the pictures I had on device memory. I don't know if Google backup did this, but the apps I had downloaded before got re-downloaded automatically, and my Hangouts texts were all restored as well. I had to re-configure all my home page icons and widgets, as it returns to factory settings. And yes, all the AT&T bloatware is gone except for AT&T hotspot and AT&T Data Usage.

What's Fast reboot? and what's the difference?

SO COOL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KooolaNL:
i didnt even see this phone in my country haha nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
User level backup is handled by scripts during flash not by google, the fact that all your pics hangout texts etc is because those are stored in internal sdcard which is not touched by the flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Fast reboot just restarts the shell, reboot goes completely down and restarts the entire phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Not sure what ninja morph is ill check it out and let you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Just read up on it, sounds pretty slick, it doesn't sound like it makes any changes to customization or csc files just images etc within the apk or jar file so should have no ill effects
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Ok. Thanks I'll give it a go once I learn more about it. Sounds like it could be a great customization tool. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dashuser:
Nice ROM everything is running smooth...

Noob Question: Is busybox integegrated in the system because i don't see it in my app drawer or do i have to download it from google play and i'm not seeing the supersu option and safestrap option in the secsettings or am i just looking in the wrong place.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
busybox is not an app that appears in your app drawer, busybox is a runtime component that includes several unix/linux shell commands used by the system. if you use a root explorer (ESfile explorer is included) browse to /system/xbin 99% of the files in there a symlinks to a busybox fragment.

:good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Thanks looking now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
These are the only 4G icons I could find in that folder. Doesn't match the one in the notification bar. Second pic has the icon that I'm trying to find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Okay try the drawable folder
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
OK gave up trying to find the 4G icon. Did system volume menu instead. Looks like ninja morph may be the way to go if people want to add their own custom touch. I only changed the icons on the left of the menu so far as this was just a test to see if it work and it does. Icons were white all the time now when their on vibrate they are red.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Hmm ill look and see if I can find them that looks nice by the way
