[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
I mentioned in my recent reply that, it has only been one day so far, but I have gotten you an update of what is going on so far. So far as your perspective that this should be in the Q and A or a battery thread, I thought it was better to ask it here, because my situation is specific to this ROM. The only different thing I was doing between the massive drain in battery and now is probably 90 percent of the time I spent playing Tower Defense on my phone and using it very heavily where as now, I am barely touching this game because I finished it and probably only using it for an hour each day. I don't use any apps for battery saving etc. What I have done differently than on Optimal was probably at start of using this ROM, I probably used it pretty heavy and I haven't really done that in a while so that was probably the only difference. For posting stats Either tomorrow or maybe late tonight( I just got off the charger and tonight will be the end of waiting 2 hours) I might be able to post a picture if the paperclip thing on the reply or attach a file thing works.

Yes I agree that my phone still is draining a little more than others, but I just hope it will get better as I wait.

As well as [MENTION=4486226]damagi123[/MENTION] Please reread my previous comment! I NEVER said Optimal was better, just that battery usage was better on OptimalROM, but I preferred this ROM and in fact this ROM was better because of AOSP.

In the end, I just really appreciate those who comment to help others and try to find the problem, rather than others simply taking a glimpse of one person's cry for help as an annoying complaint and rebuke this person for not appreciating the ROM, when clearly this person is just trying to replicate the same awesome results of battery others have been getting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
Delete. Bad post.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
These are my stats
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
Well, I believe I have gotten all of my issues with battery life straightened out. I can't say for sure whether the drain I was experiencing was due to running from the rom slot, issues with the firmware, or something else entirely, but a clean install (odin to NCG, OTAs to NI2, and flash to stock slot) seemed to fix my issues. I just ran a nearly full cycle (95% to 0%) with 36 hours total and roughly 4 hours of screen time.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the help. I really appreciate it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Dang all the way to NCG. Haha. When you say 4 hours of screen time though do you mean using the phone in total for 4 hours and 32 Hours not in use? If that is the case dang that is really good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
IDK how you got "record" in that slot, I still have "Add Call" and I just flashed the official V 1.03.... are you sure you're on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nty1234:
kind of off-topic here but what font is that? i have been going back and forth testing new fonts and only managed to get one that suits me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nty123:
whoops, signed in via email and it made a new account. I would also like to chime in and say that i do have call record in the 1.0.3 version of this rom. Hope you can get everything figured out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:

as for call record yeah, idk why it's not there on my dialer... [MENTION=3247702]nitroglycerine33[/MENTION] any idea?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
Yup, those were the stats I got yesterday, And I ran it all the way down to dead to be sure. I'm going to look into to trying out greenify like [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] had mentioned and see if I can further improve those times.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Dennis. Try using the toolkit I made and add the call record....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
[MENTION=4626765]bcrawford[/MENTION] yeah tell me how that goes!

Sharpie, hey would you mind sending me the toolkit too please?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
He's got a thread dedicated to the toolkit. Looks cool, but windows only I think...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
I think you're posting in the wrong thread, that's definitely not a screen shot of eclipse considering it's touchwiz themed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyroelite:
Nope, I'm coherent, but thanks for your concern.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
So why post battery stats of another rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyroelite:
It was for what's his name talking about Optimal. Gonna go back and try Eclipse again and perhaps tweak some things. But I've previously ran Eclipse for 3 other phones & haven't had it be worse on battery than stock before. Then again, achieving ceteris paribus is not always possible, but I'm hoping for better, so we shall see...

Cannot get LTE or 3G working on this

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 that i recently rooted using Towelroot and then when through all the steps with SuperSU, BusyBox, and Safestrap.

I did a factory reset in Safestrap then proceeded to wipe everything except the SD Card. Flashed this ROM, then used Odin to flash NI2 firmware only to my device. Repeated this twice and yet i still can't get LTE or 3G working.

I have some screenshots to with the about phone and mobule network information. , but due to not posting a lot i cant attach them.

I guess it was just me then. Since it seems like almost everyone seems to differ with my experience. Again just reporting my experience. Doesn't guarantee same results for you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Try changing it to lte/CDMA and see if it does anything
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nicholasdarley:
Tried that as well and it didnt do anything even after a restart
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
I am not sure if this will do anything, but it can't hurt. Try Odining back to Stock NI2 and reroot, get safestrap and do a reinstall( wipe, etc you know the drill). I mean usually this is my last resort, but this is an option, that usually fixed many (not all) of my problems on other ROMS.

Push for Exchange

Has there been a fix or work around for the push for exchange email? As someone else mentioned, being in IT it's necessary to receive these emails.

If someone has a fix or work around could they please share?

thanks!

UPDATE/MORE CONFUSION: When placing a call I sometime connect to 4G LTE. Also I get 3G in random places throughout Las Vegas. I am going to try to go full stock and then redo the entire process again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Silkmeister1:
Dear [MENTION=3247702]nitroglycerine33[/MENTION] upon using your rom for quite a while now i can happily say most of my battery issue have died down and i seem to be getting better life.

A couple things that could be worked on are

1) when phone has completely died, upon plugging the charger in i get a splash screen of safestrap with a very distorted image before showing the phone-off charge animation

2) i am a huge fan of long press back kill button. The issue arises with root permissions being lost of the Androud UI System and a prompt box appears asking me to grant permission again. The problem is when this happens, i can't select allow or deny forcing me to do a battery pull. What solution could i apply to help fix this? Please keep in mind I disabled the tapjacking checkbox under settings in SuperSU to no avail! This is really bothering me!

3) upon entering the Ultra Power Saving mode, the keyboard does not show up making it impossible for me to search for anything or write a message.

Please let me knows if any of this warrants a logcat.

Thank you in advance

Is there any chance this will be updated to nk2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Delete, mispost
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Probably. NK2 just came out and it takes a complete rebuild to upgrade the base. Might be a week or two until I have that much time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
1. This is an issue with safestrap, not the ROM. Has always happened to mine since i installed safestrap.

2. What are you using to set this option? Where are you going?

3. There are issues with using Ultra Power Saving mode since this ROM has been stripped of a lot of TouchWiz features. What keyboard are you using?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mikey2487:
Is the cm theme engine included in this by chance?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Since it is not a true AOSP Rom, it is not unfortunately .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
To answer number 2 about the back to kill... Set SuperSU to automatically grant permission...BTW, are you using an xposed module to achieve long back to kill?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
I'm trying to degrade from nk2 kernal ni2 and having no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
What issues are you running into?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
I'm rooted, but when I run Odin it says pass and I do not see any change at all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
So you are saying that in phone status, it's still showing NK2 after you flash?

How did you root?

How was NK2 installed? (Purchased like that? Updated to NK2 yourself, etc)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Silkmeister1:
I am using wanam to achieve long back kill. Problem is the permission is forgotten at least once a day forcing a battery pull.

If i set supersu to grant only mode then things that i want to restrict on root are all allowed :( now that can't be good can it?

That is a pity. I think maybe if we bring yhis feature and incorporate it into a custom power saving mode to further increase battery lifr.

By the way after charging to 100% this morning the phone lasted all of 6 hours before dying. Is this normal? Most of this was screen on time

Thanks,

silkmeister1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Wanam kit, or wanam exposed?

Are your SU Binary's up to date?

And grant only mode is ok as long as your cautious on what you install.

As far as the battery life, was there anything else in battery stats that was causing a drain?

How long where you actually using the out of those 6 hours with the screen on?

Ive been using for a while, and i never have battery drain unless im physically using it for like 6 hours straight...lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
I was already on nk2 already. I installed towell root before downgrading to the stock ncg kernal using odin. I just rooted using the tutorial that was posted on the internet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Silkmeister1:
Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. I am using Wanam Xposed. Is there a better way to achieve long press back button kill?

SUbinaries are up to date. I will change prompt to allow. Any idea for the permissions getting revoked?

Just normal browsing and reading some flipboard.

Id say the phone got over 5 hours on screen time. As opposes to when i let it sit idle which i think lasted around 23 hours.

Thanks

silkmeister1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
I think you may have misread...

You have to actually install stock NCG ROM, not just firmware, then root using towelroot.

Then boot into recovery within safestrap, wipe stock rom slot (data, system, cache, delvcache) and install ecplipse on stock ROM slot.

Immediatly reboot into download mode and flash NI2 firmware ONLY.

***Remember installing stock ROM will probably wipe internal data, so make sure before you go to install eclipse and wipe stock ROM slot, that your re-download eclipse and NI2 (or at least make sure its on your internal memory) or just make sure everything is downloaded to an SD card*""

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

No clue why they are getting revoked.

Try using Wanam Kit instead for the back button only and see it that works (you can still have wanam exposed installed if your using it for other options, just make sure you have the back to kill option unchecked)

For the battery: how long have you been on Eclipse?

Is it installed on stock ROM slot?

Maybe mess with your brightness settings or look through the other posts previous and see what they did for the battery issues, i am not having any at all.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
Everything is working that I know of. I might just reflash the phone from Odin and start all over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
But both arent NI2 like mine is...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
Thanks. I'll just reflash the phone to ni2
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Just reflash NI2 firmware only and post results.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Any real perks installing this compared to Samsung?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Awsome battery life.

Awsome AOSP style.

Gets rid of all that Samsung crap!

All in all awesome rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
I reflashed the NI2 firmware and everything is showing NI2. Thanks for your help. Man, things have changed s the since I last rooted and installed a ROM about a year ago.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Anytime! Glad your all set!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
Does anybody know where to disable call announcing on this ROM. I've looked every where. Never mind, I found it. Screen shot not working as I know of.

Anyway to turn on battery precentage?

Edit: nvm, I have to get galaxy gadgets pro
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
I had the same issue with Wabash long press back to kill... Just set SuperSU to automatically grant permission then use long press back to kill an app and once it's granted permission you can change SuperSU back if you'd like... Just needs the permission granted once

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

Personally I use Xposed additions to stop long press back to kill... Haven't had the issue that comes up with Wanam xposed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CKyl22:
Will there be an NK2 version of this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Silkmeister1:
Thank you.

On another note, i can not find the motions setting and furthermore i can not find the gestures settings to disable the Smart Alert option which vibrates the phone when picked up and you have an unread notification. Where did this setting go?

I can't take screenshots when my SD card is mounted. It says "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use." I have Downloads2SD installed. Could that cause issues?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
How are you guys taking a screen shot?

Stock or Rom-1

I have made a backup of my Stock ROM that I have rooted using Safe Strap. I only have the 16 GB model, so when I installed this to another Virtual ROM slot, I started running out of room quickly.

Is there a reason why I shouldn't just install this to the Stock Slot? The Safe Strap Tutorial I watched advised against installing to Stock.

What is the process for doing that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
I always run on stock slot, I believe they suggest that so you always have the base stock setup in case anything goes wrong with ROMs but I don't bother with it. Like you said, run out of room quickly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
When I try to change or add to the notification panel nothing changes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Are you talking about changing or adding tiles?

If so, are you using galaxy gadgets?

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

One of 2 ways, turn "palm swipe to capture" on in "motions and gestures" (although, i think it's on by default, just swipe your palm across the screen)

Or i added it to the power menu using "wanam kit" on exposed.

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

No reason not to install to stock ROM slot, actually all it's recommended or it will cause issues with whatever ROM you are trying to run. As [MENTION=5097452]Dennisg34[/MENTION] said, they are just saying that to make sure you have a failsafe to go back to stock ROM, but as both you of you said, you will run out of room quick! Just be sure you have a stock ROM downloaded on your PC to oden back to stock if you ever need to. Have fun!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] storkpkp:
Thanks guys. What is the proper way to install to stock slot as far as wiping and all that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
Same way you would on any other ROM slot, you will just get more warnings that you are about to install on stock slot.

So just wipe data,system,delvcache, and cache. and install.

Make sure to delete the other ROM slot you installed to previously or you will just run out of space again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] storkpkp:
Never mind, I got it!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hitherto:
I tried to update the APN, but the settings are locked down, and I cannot discard the VZW Internet APN, or add new ones. Suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
What is the issue that you need to do that?

I see a post from the 17th saying you updated to NI2 and everything was working, so im confused.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:
Does anybody know how to add more settings to notification panel. I tried under notificational panel and they do not appear. Just the stock ones.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
The notification panel? I didn't even think that was turn on in this ROM.

Are you talking about the tiles?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
You must install the galaxy gadgets app
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
what all tiles does this give you? Does it give you all the tiles that correspond with all the quick toggles with stock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid0351:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
Didn't do anything in regards to screen mirroring... Also never located any devices for me to connect to in order to share content. The only way I could share any content was thru Wi-Fi direct.

Edit: OK, so there might not be an issue with screen mirroring...I assumed one could screen mirror to another phone but upon a little googling, that may not be possible... Anyone know for sure on this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
Not sure exactly how it works, but I definitely saw my neighbor's Roku boxes when I went into the Screen Mirroring menu. I haven't tried it out to see if it works, though.

Edit - I should also add that I did not see my Chromecast, Vizio TVs, or Media Center PC, which were what I had been hoping to see.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:

You could flash it with nk2, but then you have to Odin the ni2 firmware only. Link for the firmware for ni2.

Did I see that you should not use Xposed with this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
I use Xposed, i don't have issues.

I feel that it might be the mods some people are using within Xposed.
