Even when using Remove from Private in the Gallery menu?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyDuran:
They can't even show up in gallery because they are not in the correct format to be viewed.. They are just files with a bunch of mixed letters as a name like hdhsgakdgdjspjebeksitwvepowcegdjcsjsn

Something like that

Going to do a nanoid and restore 2.1. Back in a while.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyDuran:
This is how the files are in my nandroid manager. And that's exactly how they are after being restored. So these files for some reason do not get fully restored
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
I'm going to test using Philz.

We'll meet somewhere in the middle. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
And I'm back......

1. Restored 2.1

2. Turned on Private Mode, confirmed my pictures were there.

3. In Gallery, selected the pictures, then Menu > Restore from Private. (Have to select folder to put them in).

4. Confirmed pictures still on phone. (extSD)

5. Restored 2.2 (from a Clean Install).

6. Verified pictures there and then moved to Private (via Gallery).

[MENTION=5046040]tracelessfk[/MENTION]: What options are you choosing when backing up/restoring? I backup everything but the modem. (Boot, Recovery, System, Data, Cache, EFS). Also, don't rely on Nanoid Manager. Try your backup again, but use the instructions I just posted.

[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]: You think a warning should be added to the OP (and here) to warn users to remove any private mode files before doing a clean install?

Google "xda username change" I had to show that "Ramer" had made 3 posts in 2008 and hasn't been heard from since. I couldn't use it when I first signed up since it was in use.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
It would help to know which version of recovery you're both using.

So far Philz philz_touch_6.57.8 is working fine for restoring the Private folder. I'm doing a final restore and I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

My results Backing up & restoring:

1. Philz Recovery V6.57.8

2. MOAR Rom v2.2

3. Enabled private mode, moved some stuff there with My Files app.

4. Backed up/wiped/restored - all good.

5. Wiped again, installed a completely different rom, enabled Private Mode and copied some files there. Didn't back up this rom just wanted to see if some residual Private Mode stuff would prevent a nandroid of the MOAR Rom v2.2.

6. Wiped again, restored my original MOAR Rom v2.2 backup and my Private folder is still doing fine showing the pics I placed there previously.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

I think this is going to end up being a recovery issue. We'd have to duplicate it to find out exactly how & why its happening.

I think the problem was how [MENTION=5046040]tracelessfk[/MENTION] was going about trying to restore them? (Nanoid Manager)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyDuran:
I did a full restore through twrp last night. Boot, system, and data. I only used nandroid manager to see if my files were backed up into my 2.1 backup... I'll try again tonight. If it happens again I'll post screenshot of it.

I get a GPS fix in safe mode. Sadly, none of the troubleshooting steps are helpful in normal mode. It just shows me at the last location it got from wifi. No signal problems at all, and it even says there are 20 satellites in view in my GPS Test app. It's just not getting a fix.

---edit---

NEVER MIND! Wow. After I got a fix in Safe Mode, it's getting a fix in normal mode now. WEIRD.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Like Ramer hinted, try restoring your backup manually without using nandroid manager and see how it goes.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyDuran:
Like I said lol I went through twrp to do the restore... I only used nandroid manager to browse through my backup.

Did we ever find a valid fix for the GPS not working? I tried doing it in safe mode with no luck....tried everything posted :(
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Not that I'm aware of. Why don't you post a logcat, have it running while you 1) turn on GPS and 2) go into Maps. Maybe Rompnit or TD can see something. Also, supply the info in post #3 regarding your phone info, running xposed, greenify etc. There may be a clue in there that may help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
I was getting no GPS as well, downloaded a APK called GPS toolbox, it has an option to download A-GPS information. I did that and GPS immediately started working. Haven't had time to try out a NAV program yet.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Try clearing data & cache in application manager or Titanium Backup for google play services.

Some of these may already been answered, I forget:

Are you trying to use Maps? I would try a different nav program like Waze.

Did you dirty flash the rom, have you tried any other third party apps like GPS Status (or the one quoted right above this post) yet to see what satellites the phone detects? Remove Xposed if installed, go back to stock kernel if running KToonsez kernel. Have you tried GPS from a fresh install with ALL default options from the rom installer (also do not log into Google account when asked, it will start downloading and installing PlayStore apps) just to see if anything installed is conflicting?

That's all I can think of.

Edit:

And with GPS set to High Accuracy (default), all GPS connectivity testing has to be done outdoors of course. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a7thousandths:
anybody seeing anything weird with the S-View cover? I tried searching but couldnt find anything on it. What i get is the statusbar clock still shows while on S-View, so there are two clocks. There is also a weird thing with the pedometer, i havent activated S health, so it doesnt show anything but a line, but it shouldnt even be enabled in the first place. The pedometer thing also moves to the left sometimes. I have the latest 2.2 version with stock kernel and stock everything else that you could change at setup

any help would be great!!:D
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
I cant do anything about the clock since I don't have the sview cover to work with. You sure you don't have the extras enabled in the lockscreen settings for weather and pedometer? Even if pedometer isn't enabled in shealth, I've seen it show the line if its enabled in lockscreen settings.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a7thousandths:
Thanks for the reply!

Yeah I even disabled it in the lock screen (no sview) and no dice.

I just tried enabling s health to see if i can enable then disable it to see if it works, and it did! :cool: here is what I did

1) unlock on S-View and scroll left

2) tap "select items to show"

3) mine was off but I tried enabling pedometer

4) told me to open S-View cover to set up S Health and I started to set up but stopped at the point where you have to input a name and what not

5) closed all my apps

6) weird number to end steps with but it worked!

Will report back if it comes back again
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Settings > Lock screen > Additional Information. Uncheck Pedometer. I don't have an S-View cover either, but I think MOAR 2.2 has that on by default. I remember seeing it on first flash and had to go digging.

On the clock, I thought I read somewhere a few months ago (maybe from [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] ?) that the clock on the statusbar can't be disabled on the lockscreen without disabling it completely on the statusbar. I may be wrong on that, but it comes to mind.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a7thousandths:
Yep tried it, didn't work in the beginning for the s view, and I had a feeling about the status bar clock, no biggie it just looks weird with two clocks on the s view window, otherwise this is a nice rom :D

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakel06:
Hello all, I've done a search but can't find what I am looking for. Is there a way to turn off the sensor that turns off the screen when you put the phone to your ear during a call? If I am on a call and need to look at the screen or dial in some numbers, it keeps going out. This is driving me nuts and I can't seem to figure out how to disable it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I used to have that problem with the S3. I can't find any reference to disabling it on the S5, but start by doing two things:

1) Clean the screen (obviously) :)

2) From the phone app, dial *#0*# (that's star, pound, 0, star, pound)

You'll get a test screen, tap the Sensor button (3rd row, 2nd button).

On the next screen, slide you hand slowly from the bottom of the phone upward. You should get a green screen "just" as your hand reaches the proximity sensor. If the screen turns green before it reaches it, or not at all, you may have a problem with the sensor. Use the back arrow to exit out.

I'll keep looking for any apps to calibrate the sensor, I'm sure there's something.

Edit: There doesn't seem to be much info on disabling it. Are you using a screen protector that could be distorting the sensor? I did find this for calibrating the sensor, but of course, use at your own risk.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakel06:
That's a pretty cool screen.....the sensor is fine, just wish I could disable it during a call. Thanks for the info Ramer.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I edited the post with a link to calibrating the sensor, but if it's fine, I wouldn't mess with that. I was thinking about the workaround I used to do on the S3, which was to use speakerphone when I had to enter digits.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakel06:
That's cool. Thanks for the help. My wife's does the same thing. It's not that I think something is wrong, just a nuisance I wish I could disable.

SM-G860P

Hello.

New to signing up here, but have been lurking around since the HTC tilt was "new".

Recently acquired a Sprint S5 Sport for the unlimited data. I already have an ATT S5 active as my "main" phone, so this sprint one im willing to play with.

I Drive a big rig for a living, so bricking my primary means of communication would be whats commonly called "A VERY bad thing".....

So. I have rooted the Sprint S5 Sport, but im having zero luck finding a custom rom for it. Largely interested in unlocking the wifi hotspot, but I wouldnt mind playing with the other features like listed for this rom.

The big question.... will it work on a Sprint S5 Sport (SM-G860P)?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
A few people have tried and it didn't work. If I remember right, it will bootloop you phone. MOAR only works on SM-G900P.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfleatherworks:
Dang. Ok, thank you. Any suggestions for decent roms that would unlock the wifi hotspot?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
If the screen is on when you put it to your ear more than likely you will touch something on your screen, hanging up, etc...? Not sure I would like that.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I've also been using Auto Speaker from the Playstore since the S3 days, it just works and it's convient so I've forgotten about it. (If you move the phone away from your ear, the screen comes on and speaker phone is engaged automatically).

Anyone here use the volume-up for torch option? I do... and it's a twitchy unpredictable thing. Sometimes works... a few more than sometimes doesn't. Seems to be related to how long the screen has been off, and how long it's been since the torch was last on. But not entirely.

The volume torch does not, nor will ever work well from a deep sleep state. You have to wake the phone first to use it dependably. Its been a know issue for a while and not much we can do about it. There is a wanam mod that addresses it but I think its part of the paid app, I cant recall.

would this work with my build number?

honestly i apologize now if i'm posting this question in the wrong place. I want to use this MOAR rom but my build number is not NES it is NK4 would this work on my phone or do i have to wait for an update for my build number? I'm new to this so please don't go troll me and ape **** over my question. The reason I ask is because it seems like it freezes when it reboots and then the screen just stays black. I dont know if its off or if its loading stuff up no idea. thank you for your time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
The answer is not too hard, you are on a completely different bootloader so you need to flash one of the NK4 kernels located at the bottom of post #1 here:

[STOCK ROM][4.4.4] NK4 Kitkat ROM DeOdexed

So when you flash MOAR rom, UNCHECK the reboot checkbox when it finishes so you can stay in recovery and flash the stock NK4 kernel last. If it reboots and gets stuck anyway, that's ok too. Power off the phone or pull the battery and hold for about 10 seconds POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP KEY until it boots back into recovery and flash the NK4 kernel then it should be fine.

S Health is working fine after following [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]'s instructions. I noticed in your earlier screenshot you're on 4.4.4. Did you downgrade to 4.4.2? AFAIK, MOAR won't run on 4.4.4.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
TDunham has stated that MOAR does work on 4.4.4 new bootloader and modem. You just have to make sure that you use a 4.4.4 kernel.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I stand corrected then :)

Edit: Or maybe not. I just did the update as my ss shows. But if your Android Version is 4.4.4, doesn't that mean that you're on the full update? MOAR is still based on NE5 and from what I understand, the graphics format were all changed from .png to .qmg (Thanks Samsung for taking away any good themes for a while)

You are correct, but from what ive been reading it seems that we want to do a full tar download in odin with power being off first before going into download mode odin tarball of nk4, then odin philz and only philz seems to work correctly, make sure to uncheck f.reset and reboot, then after tarball and recoery are flashed go into recovery do a full wipe, then restore a backup of moar 2.2 and right after flash one of the kernals for 4.4.4 that [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] has put together or kt's 4.4.4 ready kernal, and everything should work properly, it seems to use 4.4.4 with moar we just want the bootloader and modem to have moar work for us but again I could be wrong also

Icon Size Changes?

I just installed MOAR, last night, and everything is good (especially battery life). I'm just wondering if/how I can change the icon size. They're a bit too small for me, and I cannot find where I can change them ;( I've become a fan of the Google Now Launcher's icons size, so if I can make this happen with MOAR, I will be one happy camper! Thanks in advance and thanks for the time and knowledge you've given for this ROM!!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Welcome to the forums :)

Have you tried one of the other launchers? Take a look at post #1 section 1. (b). You can re-run the installer and instead of installing MOAR over again, you can select "Change Add-ons Only". You might try the 3rd choice for TW Launchers (4x4 Home, 4x5 App).
