I'm on Tapatalk, so I don't have access to the bug reporter, so I'll just mention here that the color on notification boxes is gray with white text, which is really hard to read. Here is an example.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bri315317:
That is stock samsung NC2 firmware. I personally feel like it was a mistake on sammy's part.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
you should be able to, i have a 5.0ghz AP at home and connect to it just fine. there are no changes made to wifi or radio in Unity build the only difference is it is based on International XXNJ1 firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Simon Hammers:
Would it be alright if I made the tweaks to my buildpop from this website or does this rom come with a modded build prop? Heres the link: http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/b...alaxy-s5-with-these-build-prop-hacks-0156850/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
All of the S5 Mods in the build.prop are at the very end so are easy to find your welcome to try any mods you choose make a backup of your build.prop first just in case something goes whacky.

and make sure you always check the permissions of the file after editing it needs to be 0644 (rw -r -r) if it isnt you'll get stuck in a bootloop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Simon Hammers:
Oh I mean are those tweaks necessary since this is a custom rom with some performance tweaks already?

​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
some may be applied some may not, the list of tweaks for build.prop is extensive and not everything was applied so check out what is (look in the existing build.prop) and if you think something can help that isnt applied then by all means go for it..:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Raccroc:
Does this mean the patches will not be posted any further and we are going to be forced to use the OTA for future updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
No not necesarily, i just havent posted the update zip in the downloads section yet. it will get there i have been trying to catch up on other projects and new projects. sorry:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eatonjb:
now I hate to ask this, but why is this ROM so big? It's 1.5 gb, i see a lot of other roms in the 400-700mb range?

is the footprint as big as stock, or is this just a lot of patches?

Force Close on Settings with OTA

I'm getting force closes on "Settings." I wiped the cache and Dalvik three times, but no luck. I also tried clearing the data for settings (I had to use Titanium Pro because I can't get into settings). And I tried fixing permissions. No luck.

I extracted the dumpstate log, and have attached. Any ideas?

Great ROM BTW. Thank you!

Hi Gang,

I ran a couple searches so my apologies if I'm not trying the right string. Every time I try to launch the update process in OTA Updater it crashes with the error OTA Updater has stopped. Are there any known workarounds or issues? Could I just flash it by booting into SafeStrap? I'm sure I could find the .zip but I don't want to try it without asking first.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
/sdcard/ota-updater/download/rom is where the zip file is you can flash it in recovery the error you are recieving is a bug i havent quite narrowed down yet if you download the ota and dont update you may get that error
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] thepktrckt:
Ahhh...that's probably it. I remember downloading it but everything is hazy after that, was probably off yelling at one of the kids for something and then let it sit.

Thanks for the quick reply!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nicktheqwik82:
You may have answered this but searching through 62 pages of posts to find my answer seems a bit obscene, so quickly, if I am on factory ND3, am I ok to flash this although it's a different version, or can I only flash an ND3 based ROM? If the latter is the case I'm just screwed cause there are no ND3 based ROMs out there. Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
flash away you are good to go
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] natefish:
I've been really enjoying the smoothness of this rom for the last week as I've been taking a break from my usual, Dynamic Kat. I've noticed less ram being used by DK, not that that is a knock on Brian's work by any means. On my device at least, it has been a noticeable difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eatonjb:
so I have a Moto 360 , and I have been getting a "Connected , running sync loop" and I think its eating the battery of the watch.. but thats what the question I am asking, is there a way to uninstall the Google Play service updates , because that has been roumored to be the issue.

I can't seem to find that on this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
unfortunately if you uninstall the play services update then one of two things will happen either it will immediately re-install or any Google app that has updated that requires it will cease to function. so in short no you can't

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cliftomr1082:
if it's OK to ask what root file is being run on your rom. Been flashing long time till got the S5A. so not sure which root is really being used here. I want to flash this rom, but to make sure I don't brick.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Not sure what it is your asking, if you rooted your device with towelroot and installed SafeStrap your good to go for any of the roms for the S5 or s5 active
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cliftomr1082:
Installed towelroot, but it saying not for this device, under make it ra1n. Ideas or what doing wrong.

Just trying to root my phone and need just a little help. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jbluedodge:
Need to downgrade the kernel to nd3 with Odin, then do towel root, then safe strap, boot into safe strap, and install your rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jbluedodge:
So lollipop test build was supposedly leaked for the sprint s5..., wonder if it can be ported here and the rom be updated off of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Nope lollipop won't run we would need a new kernel doubtful we will have a custom 5.0 build without a new root method and recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jbluedodge:
I'm assuming sprints bootloader is unlocked, unlike ours
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
yes it is , even considering that sprint is a cdma device ours is gsm roms wouldnt be cross compatible without a lot of work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Been quiet here, how's the rom running for everyone? stable? smooth? yadda yadda yadda?

I have been busy doing some finishing dev work over in the tab3 forums need get things caught up over there. as soon as a 4.4.4 build comes out i'll look into a update. not likely we will get lollipop but if one does show up ill give a shot at it and see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nemiroG1:
I'm liking the ROM quite a bit. It's my daily driver. Like just about everyone, I wish we could get a custom kernel, and really get things cooking, but given the limitations, I'm not sure anyone could ask for a whole lot more! Thanks for all your hard work, and for letting me pester you with questions.

Says the update is 1.4 GB. Isn't that huge for an update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Nope not at all that's about the right size, remember it has everything in that zip the modem, bootloader, pda and csc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
I'm downloading now, ill pull it apart and see what happens it'll take me a few days and even then if (and that's a big IF) I get it to boot it likely will not have safestrap, SuperSU 2.37 should handle root ok but the lake of safestrap would be a killer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Ok, so here is the break down,

The system.img.ext4 alone is over 2gb and will ned to be seriously trimmed down

kernel is newer and it's likely our device won't boot properly without this new kernel

en_GB is default language not a huge issue since most international roms are set that way

I'm still pulling the ext4 partition apart I'll know more this afternoon or evening.

EDIT: the tools I have access to at work wont extract the files from the system.img.ext4 file ill have to use my development PC at home so it'll be this evening or tomorrow

When trying to use the camera with the flash, my flash doesn't go off. I can enable the light with the torch app, but not in the stock camera or one from the play store. Any suggestions?

-NVE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
just tested with both the stock camera and with lenova camera flash works fine for both. any chance it has been turned off in settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SoCalHTCFuze:
Actually, i noticed this too. If flash is set to auto it often doesn't flash... even it pitch black darkness. But if set to on or off it works correctly.

Edit

I just did some testing. If there is even the slightest bit of white light in the view , auto will not flash no matter how dark the rest of the picture. Typically it would be tied to the metering but doesn't seem to be the case. This is most likely a Samsung issue, not a unity one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
ok so G900F lollipop has some issues

1. totally new folder and file structure

2. ART as default

3. ART and odex structure prevents de-odexing at this time

4. tools available (to me at any rate) will not decompile (this means no mods)

5. default.prop and kernel are required in order to handle ART runtime (means 99% sure wont boot without it)

I'll give this a shot and provide some more details as work progresses
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
No Go with lollipop, it will not boot without the new kernel and whats worse it wipes out safestrap and requires a return to stock and re-root and re-safestrap so until someone comes up with a way to root once ATT drops 5.0 we wont be getting a custom lollipop rom for ATT devices any time soon. sorry i gave it a valiant effort but not going to happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] draexo:
Well, you've given it your best shot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jbluedodge:
At least you tried buddy. Hopefully someone will figure out something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
well since i had to do a complete return to stock NCE do to the lollipop debacle i had the perfect oppurtunity to test this out, and you are correct any amount of light prevents the auto flash from operating i believe this was an intended feature do to the low light capabilities of the camera, the only problem is the sensor is to good im not sure there is anyway to adjust the light detection capabilities thru code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] skyrocketeer:
Is it still possible to port some of the apps over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
No not from this build unfortunately there is a different file structure fir the apk and it includes the odex files in a different format so no way to decompile and modify them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
So, to install lollipop, I would have to odin back and then do the att update once it is available and then deal with the bullsh**.

Correct. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Dang it! The Bastards.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
the problem at this point is that "Google" removed dalvik as the default the runtime default is now ART. several of the modules that dalvik needed to boot have been removed, add to that in order to boot the kernel and default.prop (nether of which we can modify) have specific parameters to boot ART. so long story short even if we were able to "de-odex" the rom and make our mods and themes we still wouldnt be able to boot without the new kernel. and once we have the new kernel we no longer have root or safestrap.

and in my opinion, I seriously doubt we will get Root for 5.0 and the chances of safestrap (even if we do get root) is slim at best

Damm... This really makes me regret purchasing this phone :/ such a great phone. Dam you at&t!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] draexo:
I hate to say this, but ....

I am running stock. I've rooted and installed Safestrap, just have not decided what to flash yet and I am having the

same problem with the flash on the camera being unreliable. Now, I do not use the flash a whole lot as I prefer natural lighting to work and frankly flash-requiring pics on cell phones are not the best.....

So last night I was looking at the back of my phone and there was a clear piece of plastic over the flash and the sensors. Obviously it was supposed to be removed by me when I bought the phone, but it was missed somehow and now that I've had the phone a while it was getting quite dirty. I removed it and the flash now seems to work fine.

I have no idea if this makes any difference. I also use the Google Camera instead of the stock camera.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I feel ya! We need to break the new kernel, but that is not in my skill set. :(

I was going for the HTC M8 or LG G3 but everyone in driving distance was out of them. My S3 simply stopped working and I was travelling 800 miles for a funeral.... I was left with no choices. I had my eyes set on the Nexus 6 until Google doubled the price versus the 5. Still might grab an M8 if the price drops when the M9 releases.

It IS nice to hand my wife or kids a glass of water with my phone in it on occasion, just to annoy them :good: :D

Unity Theme

FYI a great theme I've come across that seems to work flawlessly for this rom is Note 4 transformation pack for 4.4.2 tw V2 by boykioy.

It works flawlessly as far as I can tell and I really like the changes it makes to the settings window, dialer and texting apps.

I'm not sure if a link is allowed but a quick google search for "Note 4 Transformation Pack." will get you there in three clicks.

in the same boat over here.. i have a g900v.. i could have saved you the trouble cstayton lol.. I extracted the bnl2 tar and found this odd looking file structure lol. my SS build failed to even flash first go around.. then i got to flash and just stuck on vzw logo no matter what..

extracting the .xz files leaves you with 3 files.. apk apk.odex and apk.odex.art... even trying to port an apk like systemui or dialer caused a freeze at vzw logo so had to reboot and restorr a backup each time... i dont think any locked s5 will be flashing 5.0 until our odin tars are available...

good news is, on the g900f forums they have success at root but unlocked BL for them makes it happen.. im sure we could figure out a way.. maybe like weve been by flashing a 5.0 zip once available and odin the firmware/BL? downgrade might not b possible though lol. n e ways, heres some screens of the file structure if n e one cares:

I got just a few clarification questions to ask...I just rooted, I got superSU, busybox, and safestrap all good to go...I backed up my stock rom...

I am wanting to flash this ROM on my NG3 device (hopefully thats okay)

So the install instructions it says "DO NOT USE A ROM SLOT"...I am new to having to use safestrap...now I asked earlier in the Safestrap thread about using the ROM slots and they said with the latest build this is okay if you use SLOT 1.

Does this apply to this ROM? or is it NOT okay to flash into a ROM slot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
ive also tried deodexing simple apks with no luck lol secmyfiles wont even boot on a 444 rom lol oat2dex works fine but thats as far as it goes for us lol unless youve managed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
Rom slots should work fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] droid_funktionz:
Thanks for the help...Starting to get familiar with the new process...at least the whole safestrap thing.

Soooo, I take it there is a different way required to reboot when using a ROM slot? I noticed twice that the phone freezes and goes nowhere after a reboot until I pull the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
use the safestrap from this post it is fixed for use with rom slots http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56707749&postcount=294

make sure you go into the safestrap app and uninstall recovery first then go to app manager and uninstall safestrap and then install this version and then install the recovery
