And yet you still don't see how much better the phone is without all that bloat sh*t?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jaanto:
I'm totally oblivious towards sarcasm [emoji14]

Does the unofficial eventually blend in to official? Or does unofficial keep leaping in front of the official releases? I really appreciate all the hard work everybody puts into these things!

As I understand, the benefit of these builds is being front in line, right?

I was on the same boat as the other guy before. I was like "what's the big deal, my phone just plain works on touchwiz, and it's fast enough. Also I get the cool gimmicky samsung stuff"

Then I made myself use cm12 for a week. Then I went back to touchwiz and wanted to kill my phone.

Been on cm12 since. And luckily I have the knowledge and resources to search and fix some of the issues that bother me. So I start doing my own builds to make me happy, then I share with everyone here so you can be happy. Except cdma users. They don't deserve to be happy (just kidding, I just don't have time for more than one build, I hardly have time for that).

The one thing I miss once a month is wifi calling/texting. My parents house is like a fortress, not signal at all. I have my phone forwarded on unavailable to my google voice number, so I emulate wifi calling that way, but I don't know how to do that for texts. So my texts are delayed while I'm there. Still waiting for the promise to enable that for the nexus 6, because then the source, or apk's necessary for aosp will be available and everyone can profit on that.

Yeah, it really depends. Eventually the unofficial will slow down a bit I would think. Once it's really stable, at that point, the officials will work just fine (assuming the changes finally get merged in). Then the unofficial will likely be very close to the official, with some tests here and there, or maybe tweaks that cm doesn't see fit to merge, but maybe they really improve our device.

There will always be the other roms out there though, like bliss, temasek, fusion. They offer a lot of additions to the standard cm experience, and can be a lot of fun. Those will always differ from the officials, but will "hopefully" keep the stability.

I like sticking to standard/close to stock cm, because I feel like the core updates are more frequent, and cm isn't going anywhere. One of those other developers might just quit one day, and you'll have no more updates for that rom and have to start all over again. That's me though. Also, it's easier for me to build on pure cm to get my latest stuff and help out where I can.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BROKEN1981:
Bloat is only opinion. Besides, if your on xda then you know how to root and take out what you don't like. Fact is stock touchwiz has many features that cm users keep requesting and can't have due to Samsung. I happen to miss a lot of those features. Even the features the devs can add.

The neon theme happens to be awesome as well. Still, cm is lacking on key features. Maybe the devs think they are useless. Who knows....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] dtr145r:
Anything new with this commit?

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/82833/

I'm waiting for official sprint builds to come back....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jaanto:
Another plus might be that bugs (when reproduced off course) can be posted right here and fixed by you guys? If so, then I can name a few from the official (wont mention them here, no worry[emoji14]) Sorry if I'm being a total noob with my questions.

I've tried alliance ROM, but it was not really my thing. A lot of customization but too much for my taste. At the end of the day I just want a device that works and give me more powerful options than stock, like privacy and root permissions for other uses.

At the moment I'm not very loyal towards one ROM, I'll flash and try till I find the one that matches my preferences. CM12 is that one for me right now. Can't wait for it to reach stable.

Unfortunately it looks like it's stuck. I don't know exactly how they work the review process, but it seems like they might make rotations to different device trees. There was a lot of galaxy s5 movement two weeks ago, then nothing again. I guess we just have to wait for the rotation to come back around.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BROKEN1981:
I'll ask 1 more time. I'm not trying to offend anyone they are genuine questions. I am in love with this theme. My settings tab never looked so cool and colorful. As this is an alpha build, is that the reason I can't change lock screen wall paper so easy? Will I ever have the option of rearranging my app drawer?

Please don't ever point out nova or any other play store launchers since they kill the anaesthetics of the front of my phone. They never blend in right. Not only that but I actually use the Google launcher. I like that I slide left on home screen and get news updates. Wish I could have it slide to the right for those cards. ( stupid OCD) I have found app drawer apps on the play store but are utterly useless since I can't replace the cm12 app drawer with the play store version since its not a moveable wiget. So the play store version would have to be placed on home screen among the other apps. Makes no sense to see 2 of the same icons.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mporps1234:
Because its starting with android at its purest form. You also gotta remember, a lot of people still don't have TW lollipop available to them yet. We all realize its a work in progress. Isn't that the point of AOSP...development? Most of the features are being added as we speak. As for the stock stuff, a lot of people don't like the stock stuff and this is the best way to get away from that. I prefer using all of the google based applications. They are cleaner and snappier than anything Samsung has put out. To use those apps and still have tw crap in the background takes up space and creates a lot of duplication. Its all about choice. And don't kid yourself...TW is very limiting in many ways. TW is slower and overweight...and restrictive. That being said, battery is better. Its all about what tradeoffs you want That's my preach from my perch. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BROKEN1981:
OK, I have a better understanding about what cm is all about now. Thank you for clearing that up. I think the best route for me then would be a dual boot. Tired of going back and forth flashing stock touchwiz and cm12 from my back ups. Always seem to run into problems with cm not getting WiFi and service. I like to switch between the 2 a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DevVorteX:
Features of cm11 are being added all the time. So lock screen wallpaper will probably come back. I think it was on 11?

I think some of the other roms in this forum have options already.

I have to say it, but I use Nova launcher, so I have no idea if or when anyone will start tweaking the stock launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaboplasencia:
I have to return to an stock rom for a few days... I've downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile. (Android 5.0).

Do I have to flash with Odin before a full wipe? Or just flash it without wipes?

Sorry if this is a noob question, i had a bad experience in the past when i deleted my imei in my old S3.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] luriert:
They added a 2.16 build for spr, but I haven't taken a good look at what the changes are. I probably would avoid it...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] tinko975:
Do wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] FlemishDroid:
Use the unofficial one from DevVorteX it has Albinomans patches and latest CM things. Don't use the official ones in CM updates because CM is realy slow to add Albinomans patches.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934530433

Give DevVorteX (and Albinoman) a thanks. [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ScratMan38:
Looking at the code review system from CyanogenMod, more and more patches from Albinoman are merged to CM repos. Many were abandonned, and several patches are still opened needing investigations or code cleanup.

I'm using official nightlies since end of January, and it's working really fine. The only issue I'm facing is the BT which remains unstable when using CM kernel source code, requiring reboots to make it work.

To have stable BT connection with working A2DP streaming, I need to flash the test version of KT Kernel using Samsung sources (latest one is from 02.09).

I've been bouncing around trying out different ROMs and was wondering how is the stability of the nightlies for the klteusc compared to the Jan 20 release?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Ok guys... These three things that are better on TW:

-battery life

-everything works

-camera
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DevVorteX:
Agreed, but.

I get pretty darn good battery life on cm12 also.

Everything I use currently works (besides wifi calling, but I pretend I have a nexus 6 so that it doesn't bother me)

Camera seems fine for what I use it for

But those items, in my opinion, aren't enough to make it worth switching back. My wife has an S5, and I can't stand using it, LOL. She won't let me touch it, and I wouldn't, because I can deal with, or figure out workarounds when something goes south, she'd just freak out and yell at me or something. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
Battery life on cm12 is better than on cm11. And that's good!

I switched back and forth and I hate TW so much that I decided that this **** never comes back on my phone.

So I'm on cm12 and my gf has TW Lollipop on her S5 :)

She just wants a working phone ;).

Btw, quite nice new cm commits :)

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DevVorteX:
Ha ha, nice subtle hint for a new build in there. I haven't seen anything merged yet that makes me feel a new build is necessary yet. And I've been busy.

Good news is, we are doing some moving around of things in the house soon, which may mean that I have greater access to my more powerful desktop throughout the day and can have builds done in minutes instead of hours.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jaanto:
On the short notice, TW camera has features and seeing that the cm stock camera lacks, which makes it premium. Take in consideration a slow motion function, focus on different distances while shooting a video, filming at 60fps. Those are some from the top of my head that I miss.

On CM camera's defense, the camera loads and opens a lot faster, and I mean a lot! Picture quality is good and it looks very clean, but I miss to be able to set all those features that TW camera gives me.

Edit: (I just read that this thread isn't the place for this form of discussion. I'll leave it to this)

Flashed back from 2/16 ktoonsez to 1/9 because it is the only one with Bluetooth mostly working. I flashed, cleared cache and dalvik, and now it boots and says "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" forever.

UPDATE: Flashed back to 1/16 and everything is back to the way it was. No other FC but Bluetooth still crashing :(

UPDATE 2: Color banding on the camera
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] manardj1:
Use the 2-09 or 2-13 kernel. BT works fine.

Are you on one of the kernels from just before Valentines Day? I believe the banding has been fixed for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] triplepwnu:
I just flashed the one you recommended me (2-09)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] manardj1:
That's the one I'm using right now with no banding. Maybe KT will weigh in with a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] triplepwnu:
[MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] The whole story was that I was running 2/16, then flashed back to 1/9 because I remember Bluetooth was working well. It would keep staying "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" so I flashed back to 2/16, and now I have color banding. Now on 2/9 with color banding.

I have cleared cache after every flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] manardj1:
Dirty flash the latest ROM then flash the 2-09 kernel again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] triplepwnu:
Should I go with Official nightly or..?

It doesn't matter, whatever you have been flashing. You just need to get the newer blobs back.

TW camera is broken on my phone with stock software.. Cm camera is way better..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] GuyInDogSuit:
That's really a moot point, though, because when it comes down to overall photo quality, there really isn't much of a difference. However, and this was true in the TW camera's case as well, low-light shots are terrible with this phone, no matter what camera you use. It really comes down to whether you're willing to shell out a couple bucks for a decent feature-rich camera app like Snap. There are free alternatives, like Camera360, which is great for effects.

I second that. The next round of commits look promising. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ScratMan38:
You need to first flash KT 02.05 SS kernel, followed by KT 02.09 SS kernel, after flashing the ROM (SS stands for Samsung Sources).

The 02.05 will add the BNL9 blobs in the system, to avoid banding on camera.

You need to keep using Samsung sources based kernel if you need working Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] luriert:
Search the thread. 900V is not supported unless you have a dev edition.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DevVorteX:
That's great. I'm getting my old build machine re setup currently. Will be don't another build when that's done.

There are some discrepancies on how to correctly make the app2sd stuff work. So when I have time, I'll likely try some tests out with this as well. Hoping to help get an actual fix merged into cm!
