[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Elliwigy would be the one to talk to about that, he has that script that removes quite a bit of junk to that you flash after first booting into the ROM which u have to do BC it delete the system setup stuff at first boot so best to set up the ROM then flash his script. I normally just use system uninstaller(root) personally.

I just called thumb cellular and ask about using a Sim unlocked phone like a nexus 6 on their network. It was pretty funny because the lady paused for a few seconds then said well it works but most people have troubles with everything working and I said well all you yeally have to do is add in the Verizon and thumb cell apns and everything should work shouldn't it as the thumb cell phones are majority Verizon branded, so to speak. Paused again and said it could work but most people have problems with LTE and picture messages and I said that's whybu restore the apns and she didn't know what to say...it was pretty humorous and I told her to have a good day and hung up lol

Sorry but I can't help with this. I don't have a S5 with Lollipop to test anything on. I would if I could but with no device it makes it pretty difficult to test on my end.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
We don't have lollipop yet, still on 4.4.2 actually. im just trying to get flashlight toggle added to ui and settings so I can make a ROM like yours and bigbots but based on r6 source. Its ok if you can't help but probably wouldn't even need to test on your end

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ah OK, I might be able to help then. What base are you on? NE9?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Its G900R6WWU2ANF2 4.4.2. This phone is in many ways nearly a clone of the dev edition just the lra model they give their carriers thats why we can run Verizon roms only with apn change, even same fcc id, VZW code in rom etc. Anything more you need/want to know about it? Can upload anything needed

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Here is a flashable zip for 4.4.2 if I can remember right that [MENTION=4237879]Versatile1[/MENTION] posted a while back. You can copy the systemUI and secsettings to the priv-app folder of your ROM and follow these instructions for the toggles if you want. If you already have a running ROM just flash the zip but make a copy of your original files just in case it doesn't work you can copy your originals to the zip and re-flash it to get back to normal. There is some good info in this thread from page 31 and forward that may help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
AFH link doesnt work :( also, u think vzw 4.4.2 files would work properly on a different model base?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oops, it works now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
it works, just one weird thing lol, the toggle is blank and labled as "false" but it works. any idea why?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
i rebuilt and flashed, everythings working good as far as it goes.. but i still have no boot animation and i cant figure it out.. lol. sits at splash screen for s5 and then os shows up. power off animation once again works. but the rom works lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Odd, very very odd...i wonder if when u dedexided the ROM it messed it up(doesn't explain why other dedexided Roms work though) because I thought I read somewhere the boot animation is weird on the s5 have to find that because I thought there was a file u could flash then u could run any animation u wanted...then again if that was the case then the shut down animation should b borked too..

What did u use when u tried to flash a different animation?

Edit.

The boot animation is burried within thebtw framework I read, do anything to mess with that at all?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Deodexing works with the framework too. I don't know what it would have done though, I've never used a rom that did that. Also can't figure out the flashlight toggle Misterxtc linked me, like its working on button press as it should normally but toggle is blank and the lable says "false" lol. I dont get it http://postimg.org/image/jrtqik2kf/

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Do u have to modify the framework red and secsec or does Tue zip do that automatically?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Not exactly sure what you mean. Also too, it didn't automatically load my APN and I can't restore. Apn list is blank and restoring does nothing. Think im gonna restore back to optimal and figure it out later

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
In the links about the toggles...one of them was talking about editing the framework res.apk and some sec sec thing but he gave u a link so I was curious if it changed that info automatically for u when u flashed his zip. Idk what the problem is but I wish this phone wasn't such a @+$+%(%@%#. Is running cm12, for example that much to ask.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
It was only editing systemui and secsettings (settings) and yeah I know this phone is a big pain in the rear with the lack of support, Verizon should give lra customers same model.. But stick to giving us unlocked bootloaders.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
That is a pipe dream unfortunately. Idk why they need to have bluegrass, thumb cell and all the others like us have some offbreed phone yet everything else is practacly Verizon branded.. I'm honestly debating on switching to Verizon after my contract is up(like15 months) I like this phone but the fact we can't get cyanogenmod to work or issues tweaking it like u are is just annoying me like none other..and the fact nobody really wants to lend a hand because we are "outsiders" just sucks because we aren't that much different from a Verizon branded phone, whatever we are I'd like to know what it was.

Idk I want a nexus phone but don't wanna risk buying it then it doesn't work because let's face it, for whatever reason Verizon tw based Roms work great but cyanogenmod is a fish out of the water and since the nexus is bare android like cm it makes me think it won't work and I am not forking 700 dollars for a really expensive mp3 player. Sorry for the rant, may have had a couple too many drinks tonight lol

The prices are pretty close too I do believe...I just think we "roam" where we are in the area of our LRA carrier if we switched to verizon...at least that's how it used to be before all this LRA stuff started up. Friend used to have them before both thumb n Verizon got LTE, and got Sim cards and if he factory reset his phone he had to drive 20 miles to be back in "Verizon's area" so he could reactivate his phone. Total bs...doubt with Sim cards that is the case now though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes, it looks like you have the same problem I had. It's just a public id mismatch and easy to fix. See this page for more info. I did a search for id in the thread and came up with the fix. It's pretty simple but you will need to do some reading because I don't remember exactly how I did it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
A little confused but ill try to figure it out. Now trying to figure out why my APNs are blank and I can't add even with apn backup and restore. Maybe building roms even with kitchen isn't for me. Im not trying to do anything special just a basic rom with basic mods. Everything I want works besides apn

Would you care to tell me what you use to build with? Im wanting to know if im doing it wrong.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Just wanted to throw this out there...what's the difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 on this phone?

I do know there is enough of a difference somewhere that 4.4.2 keyboards will NOT work on 4.4.4 just will spam fc errors. Also wanted to note on the boot animation deal. I flashed optimal 10 minutes ago, flashed the dark it up theme, kernel, your patch then went into ozap v 4.5 to flash some chrome items and change the boot animation and shut down animation...started the rom and guess what I don't have lol. There must be a glitch on boot animations between the two rom versions bc I never had a problem flashing different boot animations on 4.4.2 (thought i did but it was when I switched to optimal for the day )
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Idk man.

Im just wondering if archi kitchen is not the way to build, because I only use the options within it and then I add/remove a few apk's, add initd scripts etc..

From what I saw that's one of the better ones, at least that's what I thought. I'd bro, I can't even get it to work on my end and I haven't really tampered with anything. Doesn't make sense to me either
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I want to do it, Im really interested in learning as I go on. Im just stuck on a hump right now. No boot animation doesn't bother me, non functional apns does. Id like flashlight toggle working but that's not a key thing I need, just a little extra thing. Im curious what xtc and others build with to make sure im not doing anything wrong.

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5 On OptimalROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I understand, ROM building isn't for everyone. I never got into the APNs so that's a bit confusing to me. I use Linux Mint and set it up for ROM building with this guide mainly with post 2. For KitKat or lower use ArchiKitchen and Apktool. That's pretty much it for the tools I use. I haven't gotten into lolipop yet because the lack of a rooted device for now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Im using Ubuntu with vmware with archikitchen. I followed the steps fine and it builds and flashes fine and seems to operate perfectly except no apns this time around. Gonna keep trying, I enjoy it. Im by far not a developer but more like an Android enthusiast looking to toy with it. However im perfectly content with OptimalROM and your rom too.

I can try that tonight after work if you don't get to it..i sill got 6 hours til that though....just pull it from stock tw rom and push into cm12/11 rom? that would be ok or do we have to decompile it and add in our specific information from ours to theirs?
