Hi,

1. No, this ROM doesn't have aroma installer

2. If you have currently BTU CSC and you want to keep it you don't need to do anything -> during installation process your current CSC will be automatically recognized and applied.

3. If you however want to change it to KSA then you need to force installer to do that. You have 2 possibilities:

a. make change in the options.prop (according to description in OP)

or there is an easier method for you:

b. change the name of installer's ZIP like this: KSA_G900FXXU1CRH1_DevBase_v5.9.zip

4. If you want to install ROM without root then change the installer's ZIP name to this: G900FXXU1CRH1_DevBase_v5.9_noroot.zip otherwise MAGISK will be installed as default.

5. If you want both changes (from para 3.b and 4) then change the name as follows: KSA_G900FXXU1CRH1_DevBase_v5.9_noroot.zip

6. Don't forget to perform wipe data/factory reset from recovery before installation as you are coming from another custom ROM.

I hope it is clear now for you :)

Finally done it sir....thank you very much. You can confidently suggest latest build for those who have atleast marshmallow bootloader and modem. Actually I flash it today early morning but I didn't get time to say thx to you. I read well before doing this and I use options.prop file and change root,xposed and csc values and kept other values unchanged. Sir I am so happy that there Is no comments like kernel is not seindroid enforcing feels like an outstanding person will think I didn't made any modification in my s5. Battery...performance...are all good. I don't have any bug till now...I got more to say...but will be on the way.

Thank you again...i was actually decided to go back to some other roms because developer is strictly saying to update bootloader and modem. But your perfect advice gifted me this ROM.:)

Sir its because i have to activate net plan..reading instructions...thatswhy got late.

Sir now its my 2 day on your rom and i have to say something about battery issue.

1)am experiencing little fast draining and fast charging of my battery. When i plugout charger it instantly drop to 98% from 100%.(i disabled motion and sensors. But activate something which is useful. I will describe it at the end of this message)

What to do...i think this is why developer says to update bootloader and modem:D. Sir i will try max to solve battery issue.(like calibrating,wiping dalvik and cache,reflashing this build,optimising apps like that). If still have battery issue then i need to flash older builds of Alexander which released for my bootloader and modem.

So pls let me know what are the things i should do to solve battery issue. If updating bootloader and modem is the only solution then suggest me an older build of Alexander which is released for my bootloader and modem.

Here is a special activity i had done in my phone. I enabled find my mobile when it is stolen by someone.(path is settings>security>find my mobile). Pics are below..

Here i add Samsung account and i turn it on. I check its functionality in other mobile and i can successfully track my mobile and i can lock it,ring it,unlock it,erase it...its very useful. Am adding my battery monitor also...

So kindly tell me what should i do to solve battery issue. Am willing to turnoff find my mobile option also. And one more thing i also enable sim card change alert.

Thanking u in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
First of all: just wait. A fresh install needs some days to become stable.

Any other hint i can give could not be good for you: enable root, check for battery offenders with BBS, remove apps like Samsung sync service, use apps like greenify or amplify, etc.

Final hint: change battery. I had similar behavior, with battery decreasing fast, mobile getting hot and sudden power off at 15%. New battery solved all.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yazar rafi:
K sir...i think you are right. I will wait and lets see it will get solve by itself. I didn't have a noticeable drop in standby mode. Just look at my screenshot...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Hi,

First of all it is not my ROM (as you mentioned earlier). It is a ROM of @ _alexandr and I am only a simple user of his ROM who try to help/share experience with the others :)

Now to the topic - battery itself is a culprit for many battery draining problems and replacing it helps very often, however I would wait for that to the end - if all possible actions fail. Also, considering that you haven't faced similar issue on your previous ROM, it (used/bad battery) shouldn't be the issue on this ROM neither.

Firstly I would do what @ fubo73 recommended - wait a few full charging cycles in order to let system to settle down/get stabilized.

If your battery issues continues, you may try to find a culprit of it by installing BetterBatteryStatts app (it doesn't necessarily need root to operate) and analyze its log files. You can also try configuring your phone in a way to be more "battery friendly" by eliminating/minimizing the biggest battery drainers.

However, I would still consider to achieve a setup of the phone in order to have bootloader/baseband versions matching your ROM.

The mismatch may have negative impact on proper phone operation.

For example, RIL (Radio Interface Layer) libraries are part of the ROM acting like drivers for the Radio. Having mismatched RIL and Baseband can cause different issues including battery draining.

It might also be (if you are lucky) that you may not face any noticeable issues (even with this mismatch). But to be sure you would need to either downgrade the ROM to version 4.2 (quite old) or update the bootloader/baseband to the latest ones (still most recommended).

Sir i didn't had a battery issue in previous roms. My previous rom is nemesis reborn and i also thanked to that developer for getting a good battery backup in nemesis reborn.

Sir you actually read me....i didn't finished setup of this rom....i need to do...disabling unwanted apps...configuring user apps...at last a fresh reboot. I will report after finishing this setup.

Thx..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yazar rafi:
I didn't have time to complete setup. I will do it and report it here. But in the mean time i need to know that is it safe to do a factory reset in this rom.(i need to do it when i exchange this phone)

Thx in advance..

Hi sir...battery is improved in standby...i had some phone call while driving today. Well 6hr on battery and still 70% left. Feels like getting good battery backup today but i will confirm it on the go...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yazar rafi:
Sir did you ever heard about increase of battery percentage????:confused:

After setting up user applications and optimising rom features i note down battery percentage(63%) and switch off mobile. Then i remove battery and put it back after two minutes. Then starts a fresh reboots. Phone reboots within 20-30 seconds. But the battery percentage is down to 52% from 63% (before switchoff). At that time i found that battery percentage is increasing slowly like 53%...54%...55%...56%...when 56% reaches i starts open xda app to report this case here. Now my battery percentage is not increasing and came normal to 50%. I dont have a noticeable discharging issue now. But is it safe to stay in this latest build. Am going to remove battery again and lets see it happening again.(increase of battery percentage is a part of self calibration by rom?)

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Sir when i do that second time same results happen.

Battry percentage before boot:49%

After boot:44%

Then 44% increased to 47%. I think this is a part of self calibration. As normal bootup uses atleast 2%. So 49-2=47%. I think rom is correctly track down the battery percentage. Am i right sir? Increase of battery percentage is only happening for few seconds after bootup.

Now am going to do a normal reboot without removing battery.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Here is battery behavior in normal reboot. (Without removing battery)

Battery charge before boot:46%

After boot:41%

In this case also charge increases from 41% to 43%. Is this common? Its my first time seeing a battery charge is increasing without charging it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Hello,

To be honest I never faced such issue or at least never noticed that in my phone.

What I would do in order to allow your battery gauge to properly read the battery level is to fully charge your battery (100%) then discharge the battery by normal phone operation to the minimum level warning, then charge the battery again to 100%. No restarts neither removing battery during this time. Then in my opinion your battery gauge should give you more stable readings.

Regards

I had this for some time. It is first sign that battery is not good anymore. Whatever ROM I tried, from stock to UX to LOS (regardless the kernel and bootloader), I had to live with this issue. It finished when I bought a new battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yazar rafi:
Okay sir...i will go through a full charge-discharge cycle.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Yeah when i search in google two opinions found.

1)Battery health is getting bad.

2)usually in some booting the load on battery is very less for a short time. The increased charge will also decrease spotly.

There is no battery bulging,heating issues...battery is fit when i do a physical examine.

Anyway rom is great and it should be a problem in my end.

Sir,developer Alexander is right. I had a potential battery issue when i flash latest build without updating bootloader and modem. So now i switch back to 4.2 and everything went fine(my battery has no issue). Good battery backup(pic is below)...performance...thx to our Alexander. Then i need to know one thing...

1)how do i know my phone's original bootloader and modem version?(here is what i get from phone info app)

2)can you confirm that i flash the right build which matches my bootloader and modem?

Thx alot...

Thx in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Don't worry, it is normal. "Original CSC" in "Phone INFO" app is shown on rooted phones. Please find attached my 2 screenshots:

1. Root is granted for the app -> "Original CSC" is shown.

2. Root is hidden for the app (like on not rooted phone) -> "Original CSC" is not shown.

Sir can you suggest me the way for these things in Alexander build v4.2 for g900f.

1)best deblotscript.

2)best app locker(low ram usage)

3)lte only(4g only) network option without rooting.

Thx in advance....
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Hi,

Not much to say on that:

1) I don't use it. The ROM is already initially debloated. If I need to remove some other system apps I do following:

- systemlessly remove any system apps. I can do it because I am still using alexndr systemless devbase

- or I physically remove a system app by Root Explorer

You can't use any of this methods so you may use for example this unified debloat script but you can't use it blindly. You need to analyse the list of potential apps to be removed and adjust it inside the script before flashing (depending on your rom and individual preference)

2) I don't use it - Instead of looking for "low RAM " solutions for your phone better read for example this article about android RAM management. Android RAM management works different than Windows - generally speaking: In android free RAM memory is wasted memory.

3) This feature is already implemented into last ROM version (ver5.9) but for some reasons doesn't work on my phone so I found the secret code *#2263# instead which (unfortunately for you) works on rooted phones (see screenshots). This is one of the advantages of root ;)

Finally i decided to root. Now a days s5 need to rooted to meet day to day requirements. Alexndr build v4.2. Is a right choice to my bootloader and modem. But i used omega rom's supersu and xpose framwork to v4.2. Now i got everything...stock stability...xposed features...thanks to alexndr and many40 for guide me.

Am wondering that my private mode is working after installing xposed framework.

Activated lte only mode through xposed framework.

Activated hidden call recorder through alexndr zip.

Gesture navigation module gives me more features.

100000+ times thanks to alexndr. You are really a legend. Your builds are very useful and the value of your work will exist as long as s5 exist.

You are the right software developer:good:

Am saying about your older build v4.2 which is for my bootloader and modem. As you warned only those who have latest bootloader and modem can enjoy your latest build. But am really happy with v4.2. Thx alot...

Hi,

I have ALEXNDR.G900FXXU1ANK7 (Android 4.4.2) and I want to upgrade to lastest version (Android 6.0.1). Do I have to update bootloader and modem BEFORE flashing ZIP or AFTER?

[MENTION=2214429]tapatalk[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
In my opinion it doesn't matter under condition that you don't reboot to system before you accomplish whole process.

This is how I do that:

1. Power off the phone, remove battery for about 20-30 sec, put battery back and enter download mode

2. Flash bootloader and modem from odin (modem as CP, bootloader as BL) but before doing that uncheck "Auto reboot" option in odin

3. Disconnect the phone from pc, power off and boot to TWRP recovery

4. Wipe data/factory reset - I recommend this as you are moving to much newer devbase

5. Install ROM zip

6. Reboot to system -> process may take long time - be patient (15-20min)

This single screenshot will say more about battery backup in normal use...i used gps..play music through Bluetooth...call somebody...record video and whatsapp it....yeah simply do all task when we head to a town from home in that 9hr+ usage. Still i have 46% battery backup left. My s5 is running alexndr build v4.2 which is the right version for my bootloader and modem(xposed myself).

I can confidently says a best rom if you need stability...battery backup...performance.

Thx to alexndr...

How did you confirm the right version for your bootloader? The Actual Bootloader ist the same for everyone when you got an G900F or not???

Just update the firmware to the latest version and you can use Build 5.9???

I've got an G900T3 with G900T3UVU3GQC2 Bootloader / Modem and using CRA2 Rom from G900F!

Which alexanr version could i use for it?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Hi,

Official Samsung firmware (odin flashable) provides in addition to a system build also a bootloader and modem (plus some other staff). All these elements are designed by the company to work together the best.

Custom ROMs like _alexndr's devbase contain system and kernel but not botloader neither modem. When you want to use the latest version of devbase (ver 5.9) which is based on the latest system build (CRH1) it is recommended to flash in addition (from odin) the bootloader and modem (-> corresponding to the same system build which is provided in official firmware). In this case it is CRH1->bootloader and CQK3->modem. Otherwise your phone most likely will work but might face some issues/instabilities.

In your case, you have got other s5 model - G900T3 and you are using system build (CRA2) from G900F. It was your choice but you should be aware that this build is not fully compatible with your original "T3" bootloader and modem. If it works for you without any issues then you should be happy.

Doesn't matter which _alexndr's devbase version you gonna use it will never be fully compatible with your phone.

However you should never try flashing bootloader neither modem coming from other s5 model to your model as this may brick the phone.

Hope it clarifies things for you.

Hi!

I appeal to you as a person with a lot of experience. What is the fundamental difference between the last two firmware, except in the latter is no longer DevBase? If, say, I install devbase myself, will there be any difference between them? Can you list what's new in this firmware that's not in the past? Again, except devbase.:confused:

P.S. Installed this firmware, the battery sits down very quickly. Set the previous one, all right.

Read the OP but did NOT see anywhere that listed all the variants this rom can work on. So wanted to ask if this can be installed on the G906s as well? I know that there are several roms which worked on both, but not sure about this particular rom. I have an S7E G935F, Which I have been using for years, and the Devbase 6.0 rom works spectacularly well on that phone. My mom has the G906s, and I am looking for a good rooted rom to put on her S5, as the stock one isn't great, and full of bloat.
