It is not in my Network Connections look... Although I did finally find it by creating a shortcut with "activities" within Nova Launcher.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Right, its not in mine either. But its in the notification panel if you enable all toggles with Galaxy Tools.

About HotSpot enabler with Galaxy Tools:

Just quick testing...

It DOES work but only if you force 3G (CDMA) mode in settings/More networks/Mobile networks.

If you try to use hotspot while on LTE, you will get the not subscribed message.

It wacked my LTE connection completely when I picked method 2 checkbox in Galaxy Tools. I ended up having to restore a backup. The LTE icon kept flashing on and off and could not connect.

Even when I left it default when enabling hotspot, it still took a while for the LTE to establish itself so I'm still not sure if folks are going to have issues with this app & LTE.

Bottom line --

ALWAYS have a backup handy.

Only seems to work if forcing CDMA/3G mode.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JoeFCaputo113:
For backups on Lollipop do you recommend TWRP 2.8.1 or Philz?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Dude, (personal preference) while TWRP may work fine, I still swear by Philz. Never lost or had a corrupted backup with Philz.

Granted it takes longer because I leave the MD5 checks enabled but its worth the extra effort I think. Nothing sucks more than losing hours of work getting a rom setup and then finding you just wiped and cant restore it. I still install TWRP to use for everything but backups and restores since it's interface is much easier to use and it remembers the last folder you were working in.

Again - personal preference.

Rom's running great so far. Noticing some battery drain but nothing I can't deal with. No other issues that i have seen. Btw been running this since Thursday.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Coming soon...

I've been testing out some mini-bootloader tars that [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] put together.

They even have TWRP recovery 2.8.1.0 already built in.

So, instead of having to flash a 2GB tar to switch between 4.4.x and 5.0, they're now only about 90mb each, minus the OS of course.

Pretty cool stuff.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbrita:
I was wondering I tried to odin back to 4.4 and got stuck at the sprint spark screen, is it not possible to odin the full 4.4 tarball back from 5.0. I am not rooted hence the full tarball. Any help is appreciated. i like 5.0 just some of my apps i use a lot are not supported, a few banking and dish network.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I get stuck too whenever I try to go back to a pre-5.0 Bootloader.

What I have to do is format internal SD in custom recovery every single time I go back or the 4.4.x roms just wont run. I know its not what you want to hear but that's what had to be done, at least for me.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

And you don't necessarily have to flash the full tarball anymore.

See my post a few above this one for one of the mini-bootloaders that come with custom recovery already installed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbrita:
I'm not rooted now so if i just flash a mini bootloader which will give me custom recovery can i just flash a custom rom after that. odin the bootloader uncheck restart then go to recovery manually and format internal sd will these be the correct steps.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Sure, just as long as you do the format before you try to boot the rom for the first time.

Just remember, if running a 4.4.2 rom on top of the 4.4.4 bootloader, you have to flash the 4.4.4 kernel right before rebooting too.

I always forget. :rolleyes:

Masked vulgarity is not permitted on XDA.

Please stop trolling our threads, this is a development thread for the SM-G900P.

If anyone wishes this build ported to another phone that is NOT the SM-G900P, then a separate thread should be created in that appropriate phone thread for porting development.

Any further incursions will be dealt with in the appropriate manner, there will no further warnings.

Quick question.... I'm on NE5 Rooted with a specific rom > 1. Will I loose Root/Rom if I flash this 2. If not then I can proceed to your steps? Thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
If you flash to this, you will be starting over entirely.

What I suggest is you create a nandroid backup of your current rom setup to EXTERNAL SD for safe keeping and also backup your INTERNAL SD to a pc or somewhere safe because the full tar install wipes everything except for the External SD.

If you need to go back to NE5, then you will have to flash the tar bootloader for NE5 and restore your prior backup. If you have issues with that part of it, you can always ask.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Thanks TD... Just wanted to make sure I wasn't loosing ROOT. But will give it a try. :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evo3d6:
Td if we are running this stock rom here did you fix root by flashing the updated su in your thread or did you have to do a combo of bootloader and su sorry trying to read thru all I missed and want to clarify for anyone wanting to know.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Knox had to go. I think that was the biggest problem.

Knox was really interfering with SuperSU so I created a knox removal script and posted a link to the SuperSU installer too on page 16 of this thread:

Rooting & Knox Removal for Android 5.0 SM-G900P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evo3d6:
Ok ive done both and still plagued by super user delay issue saw you had posted that it was opening with no issues in your thread
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheWebMachine:
Check out my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57154668&postcount=261

I found that the instructions in post 157 were insufficient and experienced the delay of superuser, as well. Flashing CFautoroot twice, with reboots between, worked for me. No more super user delays. All my root apps get it when they want it now, even at boot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evo3d6:
New super user update takes care of lag in su app just got the update v2.37 looks like you will still have to wait a few minutes to access or youll get the no binary message but after that su opens with no lag
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I've been running into an issue going back and forth from the 5.0 bootloader to 4.4.x bootloader. The phone seems to lose write access to internal SD. Even came back to 5.0 and still the same issues. This has happened several times now. Hopefully I don't have to pit partition the phone but this was my experience for what its worth.

Formatting the internal SD did not help. Reflashing the full factory tar didn't help (tried all of them). The only thing I found that really worked was:

1. Go into settings/backup and reset - Factory data reset.

2. Let the phone reboot and reprovision. You don't have to go completely into the os, just let it get to the initial setup screen.

3. Long press power, power off the phone. Boot up into custom recovery and restore your backup.

Note:

I know this was an issue with TWRP at one point.

I don't use that recovery, just saying...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djconundrum:
I had that happen several times on any version of android on this phone. Not just bootloader but also when going from tw rom to cm rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Ok. What did you have to do to get write access back?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djconundrum:
I reset from backup/reset in phone. Reboot to recovery (philz), wipe. Then install twrp, and wipe as well as format all. Then reboot recovery to reinstall back to philz. Reboot recovery, wipe again and then reboot to bootloader to odin original tar.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JoeFCaputo113:
Well yeah, that's bc KitKat doesn't allow ext sd card write access so that's probably why... I think TD mentioned it only bc Lollipop re-allows write to ext sd card ability.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JoeFCaputo113:
[MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] any idea what these are/do?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lilflip21:
Well I am not [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] but I saw you also asked this in TD's thread so thought I could at least post these descriptions that are in the CM12 rom for those items.

Wi-Fi-Verbose logging - Increase Wi-Fi logging level, show SSID RSSI in Wi-Fi Picker.

Aggressive Wi-Fi/cell handover - When enabled, WiFi will be more aggressive in handing over the data connection to Cellular, when Wi-Fi signal is low.

Allow Wi-Fi roaming scans - Allow/Disallow Wi-Fi Roam Scans based on the amount of data traffic present at the interface.

Just a few mods. We wont be able to do much with this until baksmali gets updated allowing us to deodex Lollipop.

Features

:

- Left capacitive key set as menu

- Recent apps shortcut added to dropdown

- Hiddenmenu (dialer shortcut ##3282#) modified to remove MSL check and allow PRL write

SamsungCamera3.apk

(modified G900PVPU1BNKD Camera App: removed low battery limitations)

Replace original apk and set permissions to rw-r--r--. Do not forget to delete (or move to safe location) "arm" forder inside apk folder.

I'm working on it because I would like to be prepared to Android L if it will be released for SM-G900F. I'm not able to test it on my phone until that day will come...

Android L Debloat Tool

Flash this in custom recovery.

I got tired of freezing the tons of stuff that gets installed by stock so I created this tool.

While optimally, this tool should be flashed right AFTER installing Android L (before the initial boot), it has been tested on a fully up and running rom.

Features

:

- Removes all bloatware (what I consider bloatware)

- Removes Connections Optimizer app

- Removes all data/app occurrences including Play Store updates
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rlmiller:
Capital thanks...... we need this

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Can you PLEASE provide a list of removed apps or apks. And a zip for us to extract an app to push incase you removed something we want
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yes, just the Sprint stuff mostly is being removed and there was a lot of it.

I don't want to hear from folks that they're missing something; I know there is a lot more that could go but that creates the other problem.

This debloat tool also prevents that long wait while all the Sprint apps download/install on a fresh install.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Don't have the energy for that.

If someone wants to create one that's fine, go through the installer-script and figure out what's getting deleted. LOL

As for the removed apps, same goes... we'll deal with it as it comes.

Edit: Plus, remember this is a leak.

There's no huge reason to get all that done until final OTA shows up.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
I did twice... I select the TAR file to download from here: Full Restore Tar (in self extracting EXE) - Rwilco12

All I get back is .exe file which doesn't let me extract it > any other option? It downloads as an application.

I just went back to his download page and all previous stock rom have Original TAR option under it, but the NKD one only has Full Restore.exe
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Maybe a bad download.

That is the only download link that I know of for the full tarball other than www.sammobile.com but we can't post a direct link to that one because that site requires registration (which is free) to download.

Maybe check that out.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
I assume this leak must be pretty close to final, since the Poland G900F just got Lollipop today.

Aside from modem optimization for sprint.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Will do... I will try when I get back home, could be something with download servers from work. So download are allowed others a miss. Thanks TD!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Those releases aren't carrier dependent like ours which causes more time for development. But we can hope. :cool:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jnadke:
I'm just talking from a system/kernel standpoint. MDK is Nov 21st Kernel build, and the G900F is a Dec 1st kernel build. Both phones host the same architecture.

Given time to go through internal Samsung QA, there's maybe room for 1 cycle of bug fixes in that time-frame. Unless specific bugs come up in Sprint's QA processes that are cycled back to Samsung, clearly Samsung is satisfied enough with the S5 Lollipop code to release it.

Like I said, modem changes and carrier-specific apps would probably drive most of the changes in new Samsung S5 Lollipop builds.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Don't know, did you full wipe in custom recovery before flashing the tar?

Might have to try again. Odin custom recovery, wipe and flash the tar.

Always power off phone before flashing tars. At least for the full rom tars which has new bootloader or it wont flash the modem sometimes.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] juniorr7710:
Did all that... full wipe, then Odin 3.07 and flash tar. It came back with a pass and then phone rebooted and it stuck again in Hands Free Activation Retry 2 of 5
