[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] Hey man how's it going..

I know not too many folks are rockin 4.4.4 nowadays but I personally haven't warmed up to lollipop yet so I'm still loving KitKat. I installed this stock rom on my phone and I have got everything running like butter and exactly the way I want it. However I have been having the hardest time trying to get the native hotspot to work and its driving me crazy.. I tried installing the GS5 Native Hotspot Unlocker that [MENTION=3585663]miked63017[/MENTION] put together but I have NO luck whatsoever with it. I tried installing/uninstalling busybox and SQL and some other crazy stuff but it just hangs on obtaining IP address and never connects.. I'd really appreciate if you can help me out or point me in the right direction.. Thanks!

Can i flash this if im coming from MOAR V7?? Or do i need to downgrade the modem
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LouRock:
Thanks for these mods!

All the other mods worked fine for me but unfortunately the HotSpot mod did not work for me, it just still hangs on obtaining IP address.. I was thinking maybe if i flashed another kernel or something but I don't know, what do you think??
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I cant say since I don't know what you've done already. If you are using the other method, it might be conflicting. The only way to know for sure is to backup, do a fresh flash and then mine. Have you tried connecting a different device to hotspot yet?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LouRock:
Yes, I tried connecting to my laptop as well but same deal. I'm gonna do fresh install later today just for the heck of it and see how it goes and I'll report back to confirm.. Thanks again for your help man! :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Cubit33:
I was curious about this as well.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DAXX:
Hey! I really like this ROM. However, I'm experiencing one major issue which is the camera. The camera seems to be bugged somehow with weird colors. I tried reinstalling the ROM and the camera got fixed, but now i'm experiencing WiFi issues, for example: I go to my WiFi and connect to a network, then I turn off the WiFi and it forgets the network and everything else in the WiFi setting... This is really annoying! Any ideas on how to fix the WiFi issue or the camera issue?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kherboucha:
Hi everyone, does this rom contains french language ? thank you
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] uhsarp:

context service has stopped

I must have a corrupted file in here as I am getting the "unfortunately the context service has stopped". Any suggestions? If not I will attempt reflashing. MD5 check was good. Flashed with TWRP 2.8.0.1
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rompnit:
Did you do a clean install?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
of course full wipe 2x; followed by installing Philz latest and full wipe again - still same problem
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ls1ssz28:
I'm having the same problem as well
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Which rom?

I'm on deodexed with no issues.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
sorry was flashing Deodexed

I chose the Deodexed to flash - I ended Clean flashing (full wiped) 2x with TWRP and once with Philz. I am now on the PacMan for a change up. Will come back to attempt if there is something else I should try. Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] paco_1:
to fix FC on the context service you need to use (2) APKS from NE5 rom ok go to priv-app and take ContextSearch.apk// ContextProvider.apk from the NE5 Rom use root explorer to remove the same one from NI3 rom and replace with the new ones make sure you are Deodex Rom that will fix the problem :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jrowe820:
Flashed?

I'm not the best at this, but is it possible to get a ota link? So I could just dl it w/o computer. ..?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Why cant you download it without a computer?

Try another browser. On the phone, you have to scroll down the page some to find the download link.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
thanks Paco - will reinstall a funtioning NE5 rom today and pull those context APK's off and reinstall this NI3 later. Very helpful.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Since this is not a final release it would be helpful to have more details on this since I can't duplicate it. When/where and how does it happen would be helpful. Does it go away, are you doing something specific etc.

Here is a flashable for DEODEXED version only for someone to try.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
Context Service warning was popping up whenever running system apps

I remember the error occuring when I was changing the wallpaper and called up Gallery. I also remember seeing this when I started SHealth - the SHealth errorred and then the Context.service failure showed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Perfect!

I will look into it.

At least I know now that the issue is app related and not necessarily the rom but I wont know for sure unless I can duplicate that problem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] localpagefirst:
Same happened here

I had the same problem no rhyme or reason when they went off I uninstalled s health I will try loading your new apk thanks for all the help it would not have anything to do with us loading it on the SD card would it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No I don't think so. And I setup Shealth but don't really use it so still no issues here. I didn't take the Shealth update though and I know that app is pretty flakey anyway.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JoeFCaputo113:
Has anyone flashed this and have an Android Wear device and notice Android Wear support?!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I was making a patch so us verizon S5 users can run other carrier roms so I was trying out this rom since its the only other 4.4.4 tw rom for s5.

This will solve your shealth problems FC

In build.prop change this

ro.securestorage.support=true

Change to:

ro.securestorage.support=false

Also if you want a dark theme for this you can mess around with this it flashed fine for me with this rom on my verizon phone.

SPR_4_4_4_Dark_It_Up_Theme.zip

If you want some pics of what it looks like head over here to my thread

Dont flash any zips from that thread. I modded this zip to work on sprint phone
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] maldohector24:
Will this theme work on a odexed rom
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
It is very rare for themes or mods to work with any odexed rom unless they specifically state that they will do so.

Make a backup and try it.

Just a note:

For future reference, you really should use the quote feature when replying if you can. Good thing this thread is not very active and his post was right above yours otherwise we might not know who you were asking.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Skimpy007:
Hi,

Works almost perfect for me but I keep getting the "context services has stopped" and the samsung exercise thing crashes -I could care less about the exercise app but figured would point it out just incase.

Could you tell me where the context services is so I can replace it or how to fix this error? I figure this is the reason my phone won't save my wifi passwords.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Did you flash the odexed or deodexed and did you verify the MD5 checksum of the download on your phone? Sometimes the file doesn't copy properly when copying from PC so I always recommend verifying MD5 on the phone too that it matches the MD5 posted on the download hosting site.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Skimpy007:
Deodex alright I'll try. I downgraded back to my 4.4.2 this second.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Skimpy007:
Okay Md5 verified on Deodex. Installed again same issue. :(

Health service stopped then context service.

Oh well no worries just wait for L

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] T3chMan1:
Can I use Aroma package on Deodexed version?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No. This is not even a final version. Use Quickboot from the market if you want restart options. I don't even use the power key to restart the phone, I have a shortcut to that on my desktop.

Aroma package of what?

You can't flash any custom themes on this rom. Android has completely changed for us on 4.4.4, there are no more png images in the system apps so it cannot be themed without some heavy modification first.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youkosnake:
I've got an issue. Clean flashed with philz latest. Wipes APN. When I try to set a new APN, when I click save, it goes back to APN screen with no APNs. I've also dirty flashed on rwilcos and everything works great, but again, it wipes APN and won't let me set a new one.

Also, I'm trying deodexed. Haven't tried odex yet.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jackrabbit72380:
I'm trying deodexed

Dear dev Here is some info for your error

I was on ni2 modem comeing from the note 4 ni2 rom and i was running this rom and i never receved the context error.

Eventuly i desided to downgrade back to ne5 for some work on more. Rom

but i keeped this rom on my device just to see if it workd.

Then i tryed to send a picture message and got the context error for the first time.

Also i know you say this rom works fine on pre 4.4.2 modems but i dont think thats the case

im getting the context error and also not able to connect phone to pc. now but i didn't have that problum on the ni2 modem.

You may need to make a little ne5userfix.zip

ALSO I NOTE THAT THE ROM TELLS ME IM ON THE NE5 FW IN SETTINGS WITCH IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE A ROM TELL ME THE PROPER FW IM ON.

MORE ROM DISPLAYS NCB EVEN IF IM ON NE5.

I THINK FLASHING THE MODEM AFTER THE ROM IS INSTALLED HAS THE PROPER EFFECT IN THE SYSTEM SETTINGS. THEN THE NAME IS DISPLAYED PROPERLY.

this is the first rom out of 4 that i see displays the fw name properly in the about settings. oddly

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rompnit:
Sorry but it won't work.. The Missing Link, as did with Morphology, rely on replacing pngs in specific apks.. Since Sammy decided to virtually eliminate pngs in 4.4.4, replacing them with .qmg files, there aren't any current vrthemes that will work. vrtheme zips cannot delete qmg files within an apk, so injecting pngs won't do any good....

Thanks Sammy!! :mad:

Op updated. OTA Kitkat 4.4.4 NK4 deodexed stock rom.

Uploading now.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] paco_1:
Your Thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Y.G.:
Does the NK4 full tar wipe data?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The full OTA Tar does not wipe data or internal SD.

However, I had some of data apps force closing after doing the full Tar so a full wipe is recommended before flashing and restore data later. I guess I'll add that to the OP. Probably due to going to a completely different build.

The deodexed rom does not wipe data either btw.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Y.G.:
Thanks. Flashing now.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
uh oh stuck on recovery booting...

update: ok got into download and re odined the NK4 OTA but am hanging on the recovery booting splash screen

update 2 ok I got - I forgot about the power down fully prior to going into download. Just odined this way and the post flash got to the recovery and it flashed its stuff and it is booting normally into the OTA now - yay.

Well I odin'd the NK4 tar and realized after doing so I forgot to wipe the phone in custom recovery first so I appear to be stuck post flashing the Full OTA download with splash screen and recovery booting... showing. Any ideas? When I power down and reboot it goes back to this state.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] paco_1:
If you get stuck on recovery after flashing nk4 remove the battery for one minute and reflash nk4
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Tnx, I've added the power down to the instructions.

Also, two rules of thumb, always check MD5 matches your download and OTA's cant be flashed with Mobile Odin since it cant flash the modem and the phone wont boot without the modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Also a little trick I've found to make things go a lot faster:

1. Uncheck Auto Reboot and when the OTA flash is done, unplug the phone and restart in download mode again.

2. Then flash custom recovery.tar with Odin, again I uncheck Auto Reboot.

3. Unplug phone after flashing custom recovery and this time I reboot into custom recovery (may take a couple reboots to get there) with pwr/home/volume up.

4. Full wipe and install the stock deodexed rom and restart from custom recovery normally.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lilgringojr:
Altenate OTA Link?

I keep getting a failed download midway thru for the OTA NK4. Do you have another link?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No and it has to be downloaded to a pc so you can flash it with Odin.

Try a different browser.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dtr145r:
just download it again.

I just downloaded and everything is fine.

yours may have corrupted during download..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
So to confirm, WIFI Calling is gone? Why would Sammy release something like that?

We can use a mod to get hotspot going?

So it will take some time before we are able to get anything like MOAR on 4.4.4? Will it be just as hard to do on Lollipop too I assume?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lilgringojr:
I'm well aware of the process I've been downloading on a Pc, but it keeps failing around 500mb.

I've tried everything from restarting Pc, diff browser, deleting cookies and cache with no luck.

Can anyone offer an alt link? Dropbox..?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wilderckw:
So to be safe...

1st I go into TWRP factory reset wipe.

2nd pull battery go I to download mode and run NK4 Odin

3rd flash root then flash recovery

4th then I can flash this rom.

Thanks just like to be safe with new stuff.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
There is one in the rdf thread in general but I can't link it until later thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I am doing something wrong here.

Got Odin to load NK4 fine....

Shouldnt we have to root phone next? With which file?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No, just odin custom recovery and flash the rooted rom from that but do a full style in recovery before flashing the rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dlbaker1179:
whats the difference between this and the OTA pushing out?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OK Thanks.

Did you see my questions a few posts up?

Also, can we change the PRL still on this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I have loaded everything correctly it seems, but dont have a phone connection....no calls in or out

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
I have data but don't have phone calls in/out either

Thanks for previous suggestion tdunham!

I did get md5 check on both the OTA and the rooted deodexed and my only problem was that I was not getting proper Odin completion on 3.09 due to not full power down prior to booting to download mode.

Just now I realized I was without voice capability with the ROM - calls are going right to goog voice and when I attempt to dial - the phone number dissappears from the dialer and call is not made...

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

My PRL did seem to update - I am having problems with the dialer however.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I have same issues. However I am now set up coeectly on Stock NK$, with phone. Am scared to flash a ROM on top as it loses phone then. At least for me...MD5s correct as well.

Are you having phone issues on stock ? or with the ROM
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
good Point I will attempt to wipe and flash the stock unrooted to see about the voice now thanks for followup!

Ok Island fever, I just re odined the NK4 OTA and completed the set up prior to wipe and recovery odin and Custom ROM flash - voice is working fine - so something I did maybe caused this. Maybe I should have set up the phone 1 time to provision prior to the wipe and then the recovery and then the flashing of the custom ROM?

I have to go out for a bit so probably cannot work on this until tomorrow. Going to keep the unrooted OTA on for now

For those of you having issues flashing the rom over the stock tar, are you using TWRP recovery? I use Philz and have zero issues. Just checking. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] get-Apache:
I used Philz with the wipe for installing a new ROM

should I have wiped alternately in addition to using the wipe to install new ROM?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No I don't think its necessary. I'm going to do some more testing this weekend, something really is wrong with the deodexed version placing phone calls. I'm going to have to spend some more time figuring out what is causing it.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpgranger:
Which mods work so far.......

Okay, Tdunham. I took the OTA(Odex) and now have your Deodexed version. Thank you very much for this. Here is what works so far on my phone.

1. The Mobile Data Toggle Hack for NE5.

It works on both Odex AND Deodexed.

2. The Security Update Lag Removal Hack for NE5

It works on both Odex AND Deodexed.

3. The Native Call Recorder Hack for NE5.

It works on both Odex AND Deodexed.

After flashing, I flashed Rompnit's Call Recorder fix for v1.1 that he had sent me on about page 17? of his thread. It turns the button icon black like the other buttons.

4. The ro.securestorage hack still works on 4.4.4.

I found that Wanam doesn't quite work.

5. The platform.xml hack still works.

Again, I found that Wanam still doesn't quite do it.

6. I also find it best to do an initial login to ALL apps before installing Xposed.

Some apps were glitchy on login with Xposed enabled.

7. Towelroot doesn't work. I didn't care. Philz & SuperSu did the job(when I had the OTA).

I'm sure you know all this or most. I just wanted to report the latest guinea pig findings for you to pass on. I will Nandroid again on Monday and test more hacks/mods.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mswlogo:
My phone suddenly went down the toilet.

It was working fine.

Now I can't make or receive calls.

Factory Reset and Reinstalled ROM.

Redid Activation.

Tried CDMA Only.

Updated Profile.

Updated PRL.

Removed Battery.

All those things went smooth but still can't receive or make calls.

DATA and LTE works fine.

Running TWRP 2.8.0.1

It does keep popping up System Update available (which I assumed was normal since we have got that on prior custom ROMs which eventually gets fixed).

It also pops a message trying to send Firmware Version to Server and fails.

My Wifes HTC ONE is working fine. So I don't think it's a local tower issue.

I may try reflashing the full 4.4.4 Stock with Firmware again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yeah, run OTA tar for now. I think I finally cracked the problem I've been having with the deodexed version so hopefully that will be up tonight too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mswlogo:
Oh, that's cool, I thought I was the only one.

Do you know if it would be safe to run my old MOAR NE5 Backup on top of the new NK4 firmware until it's sort out?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
No, you have to flash the NE5 Modem first I think. Let me post it so you can try.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I'll send it to you in a PM and I'll post it on the OP later for anyone that needs it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mswlogo:
That's ok. I don't wanna go backwards on firmware. I'll just run stock OTA until your ready. Thanks.

Don't sweat it. I can wait.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

I restored NE5 Only Backup ROM (Data and System, Skipped Boot) and it seems to be fine with MK4 Modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evo3d6:
I too have restored ne5 and ni3 with no issues
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] banccalif:
How did you do it? And are you able to run MOAR on the new firmware as well or just stock ne5
