rom

Now since we got the root, I guess we need a good recovery and good cooked rom to get rid of unwanted software provided by Samsung.

I always recommend omega rom, but I don't if anything new coming from Mr. Omega.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmad_tal:
Don't hold your breath for custom roms in the meanwhile, after Samsung release updates specially to higher versions of android you would see these roms.

besides, you have root, you can remove the bloatware and unwanted samsung crappy apps. Moreover, I believe that phiz recovery is the best out there and has all the wanted features. Lastly you can install the xposed framework to manipulate the stock rom's features and add as much things as you can :good::D

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmad_tal:
there are many ways to uninstall bloatware/system apps ..

from root explorer to titanium backup or else.. but the easiest way is "root uninstaller" from Google Play Store:

there is a pro version also if your are interested.

BUT BE CAREFUL AND DO BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH UNINSTALLING SYSTEM APPS BECAUSE YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ;)

Network problems

Hi all,

Forgive me being novice.

I am using G900FD version in India bought from UAE. Baseband Version is ANH2. Build is ANJ2.

I use 3G on First SIM & 2G on Second. Both on the same operator (Airtel).

I bought this phone 1 month back and it was giving lot connection drops. I had installed the App Connection Stabilizer and it showed the network dorrped at least 10 times in a day.

4-5 days back a firmware update was pushed by Samsung and phone and The network drops have reduced to 3-4 in day (as per Connection stabilizer). Still 3G browsing usage is intermittent since connection is unstable.

I thought the problem was restricted to my phone only but since other folks are also facing the same problem.

Just now I have changed my SIM's and now placed the data + 3G SIM on second slot and 2G SIM on the first slot.

Will post the results but they don't seem encouraging as connection has already dropped twice.

I have never faced any issues with Data/Signal Drop.

I am using LTE/WCDMA for Sim1 and GSM for Sim2, bcuz u cannot use WCDMA for both sims at same time. My stock rom build is ANF7 (UAE)

Galaxy G900F themes/apps to G900FD Models

Hi,

May I know, can I use all of the support provided here (S5 G900F Themes & Apps Section) for S5 GM900F can also be flashed/installed/re-used in G900FD too?

Is the build.prop is same for both of these devices or is there any changes possible?

Lastly, Is it possible to make G900FD model working by using ROMs which are modified to work on G900F model?

I thought keeping the dual SIM Radio/Kernel (for Dual Sim Version) intact with no change in them should not create problem even if changing the ROM.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadavsunil:
Voila...!!! Finally it worked. Here it goes for those who have suffered a lotta..!!

Problem -

Problem – Phone(G900FD) was brand new but Consistent network drops on both sims (3G & 2G) together . Most of the times phone restarts also due to networks lost. Phone heating up and battery sucker probably because of extra work the radios have to put.

Phone was bought from UAE and being used only on 3G and 2G networks in India, I have not tried it on 4G. Originally the phone was on H1 baseband

Solution – Rooting the phone with CF root and Flashing it with Russia ROM.

Method –

1.	Downloaded CF Root and ODIN. Used the main website for doing. Very simple and easy method.

2.	After rooting I updated the Binaries of the Super SU on the phone.

3.	Then put the phone again on Download mode.

4.	Downloaded the Russia Flash (almost 2GB file) from Sammobile. I downloaded the one which was released in Oct’2014. Thanks Casper.

5.	Flashed the new ROM on S5.

6.	Phone restarted and it automatically updated all applications.

7.	Phone had installed few Russian apps also they probably crept along with the new flash.

8.	Checked the baseband from the about device and still it showed the same H1 baseband.

9.	No improvement on the network, however when I tried to update the phone using the Samsung update, it prompted that I have installed the software from unauthorised source. So no support.

10.	Then I flashed yesterday again with same ROM. This time it worked and it has now got the N1 baseband.

11.	Have used the phone since last 20 hours and its radio performance along with other basic features like stability have improved.

12.	Can use the Samsung update also.

13.	Guys … you may use it, it works.
