Thanks for the response. After running gsam for a little while on eclipse and coming from a full charge, the battery usage from the screen seems very high with a decrease of 4% from 12 minutes of screen time using the auto brightness setting. Here's some screenshot from some preliminary testing:

Eclipse:

I will try to run some more comprehensive tests tomorrow as well as try some of the things that [MENTION=2513779]pyroelite[/MENTION] suggested. Thanks for the help guys and I will let you know how it turns out.

Also, just to be sure I have installed everything correctly, here are the steps I took to set up eclipse:

- Was on NE9, rooted

- Followed the steps in this thread to upgrade to NI9 while retaining root

- Installed safestrap

- Created a ROM slot and flashed the 1.0.2 build

Everything seems to be in order and the reduced battery life is the only issue I have noticed. I may try another ROM just to make sure.

Is there a way to change the quick tiles?

I really want to add auto rotate and a flashlight possibily. I did have the issue where the wifi password was forgotten, is that fixed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
To change the quick tiles and other notification bar items, you'll need to get the Galaxy Gadgets app. See the first post for details.

My experience

Hello all,

First, thank you for a great ROM. Unfortunately, I had to switch to a different ROM for a few reasons.

Galaxy Gadgets

Honestly, I'm not very happy about being asked to pay for something that is included in other ROMs. Even the stock ROM from Verizon allows you to change Notification Panel buttons(tiles). Even though I like the "tiles" better I decided to use a ROM that allowed me to customize the Quick Settings buttons because I don't use any of the default tiles in this ROM. And I use them a lot so I had to switch.

Various unusual behaviors

I wouldn't call this ROM "buggy" but I definitely experienced some unusual behavior. Sometimes notifications would still play when Blocking Mode was on. The phone would speak the Caller ID even though I turned the TalkBack Settings off. The dialer would force close randomly. The phone would even reboot randomly.

Granted, I did use Xposed to change the mapping of my home and menu buttons so that may have caused some of the instability. Otherwise the ROM is awesome. I wish it worked better on my phone.

I just had the same issue with the gallery. I was able to get it working. Download the zip again and wipe data, cache and dalvik. Install 1.0.2 but shut the phone down completely after installation. Remove your SD card and boot the phone. Get the phone setup and open the gallery. It should work, then you can shutdown and put the SD card back in.

Also, amazing ROM thank you Dev!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nty123:
i'm not sure if this is a common problem with everybody or just me but i have noticed that i can only get 3G connection, no LTE at all.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fantasy2c:
I had perfect lte signal update your apns from the stock rom maybe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mwatts:
I used to run eclipse back when I had a Droid X2, and have been following Nitro every since! Eclipse is smooth as butter! Going to be switching from Optimal right now!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
I only have a problem trying to download the woio19 news app from the play store it just quickboots the phone otherwise no problem downloading anything else so far. Restored all my apps with titanium just fine except it wouldn't restore that news app. It just quickboots whether i try to restore it from titanium or download it from play store lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Hmm. Can you grab a logcat? I have been running it for a few days now without anything crashing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I will take a look at it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Thanks guys! Its been a while!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I forgot about the tab view. I will have to get that cleaned up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I will have to get that added to the main menu. You can access it through tab view for the time being. Sorry about that!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Is it a continuous crash? If you can use a tool such as alogcat from the play store I can take a look at it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
Let me flash again and do that. Don't beat yourself up, first version and I'm just ecstatic you made this! Heavily debated switching to t mobile and getting nexus 6 but not now that I have eclipse! You plan on doing your s4 boot animation in future? Will get log cat now

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
I only got it on first boot. I had the issue of not being able to install anything from the playstore but i fixed that on my own. I did have an issue with the phone hot booting from trying to restore from tibu. Specifically mSecure.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
Also, just a heads up, but I had to uninstall and then reinstall Google plus in order to get photos to work. It kept fc'ing and said it was a bad install. I used TiBu to remove it and then reinstalled from the play store and everything has been good since about 6am for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] terrigan:
I had a few hard resets prior to the phone settling down in the beginning. I do notice however that app installs and Moving Apps to SD hard resets the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
Actually I can't install mSecure at all, even from PlayStore. Very weird. it just does a hot restart every time. Going to see if i can get you a logcat.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I am betting that if someone is getting a reboot it might be related to the system being in enforced mode and not permissive. I had that issue on the S4 and used an init.d script to change it to permissive at boot. I will get these bugs fixed tonight. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] terrigan:
Here's the logcat prior to moving an app to SD and the hard reset, if you need it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
Excellent. It is what I thought. We need to change the system to permissive mode. Easy fix. Not sure if there is still an app floating around that can do this. I will do it in the init for the next build.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
Ya having tibu issues, playstore too. Here were the errors i got from tibu that i javent seen and startup will message log
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
Here is mine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
Can you post a new Init.D for us to test and push directly to see if it resolves, or tell us where to make the changes. i have no problem doing it. Save the pain of doing another build right away
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hd0120:
Nice rom but the email app keeps force closing on me.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bschuster:
To be honest, I love this rom and don't mind having to pay for the app (donating to the awesome creator of this ROM), but if you are using exposed and know how to do everything, you can do all that the app offers with it, I know how to do it, but again, i still bought the app because i want to support him.

As for the other issues, you have to expect if from a ROM that was just created (which was said by the OP in an earlier post) and things are still being worked out. I personally have been working on this ROM since it came out, and don't mind the "OCCASIONAL" glitch here and there, i know they will eventually be worked out.

Again to the OP, great job and keep up the good work. I will continue to use this as long as you continue to support.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
Nitro, in the next update, will we have HD calling enabled in the dialer?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
Anyone getting the annoying Samsung account update thing. Won't go away. Wants me to update the samsung account and it fails. notifications GALOREEEE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NyceHS:
THANK YOU!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Im loving this rom! 2 :good: to the Dev!!

I'm wondering this as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
Haven't received any updates here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
The short term fix is usually just long press on the notification and hit app info then uncheck the box for showing notifications.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
Does this rom not have a dark themed dialer?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
This rom is made to look like aosp so it has the Google dialer... Theoretically you could prolly use a dark themed Google dialer apk

EDIT.

It was using Google dialer... Now it's using an old aosp looking dialer, it's dark themed. I'm actually a fan of the newer material design and bright apps, so going back to the dark aosp is disappointing, but I understand that sometimes devs have to make sacrifices for reliability
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Great rom Nitro! im rocking the 1.0.2 build right now and i LOVE it, couldnt be more thankful or grateful! thanks for the support of this rom too. Could you please explain how to update to 1.0.3? do i need to wipe data again or can i just install in safestrap and thats it? please be specific with the instructions because i dont want to mess anything up. thanks again nitro!:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
Sweet, is a dirty flash ok?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
I dirty flashed since Nitro didn't leave any specific instructions and so far things are OK
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You dont lose data doing a dirty flash correct??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
Just install in safestrap, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot

No data loss here... Just wipe cache and dalvik
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Ok thanks. Just making sure, i boot into safestrap, go to wipe cache and dalvik (not data) and then install newest version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
Yep... You could always do a backup first but after that you have the correct order
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Alright thanks for thr help man!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Hey Guys, wonderful ROM btw! Bravo! I just had a few questions. When I ran this rom and was on heavy use for about a little more than half an hour, I had about a 30% decrease in battery, is this normal? For RAM I average about 1.6, but I think previous said others average around 1.2-1.4, so just wondering if this is normal. Just in case that this was a bad flash I flashed it three times, so just wondering is this normal? So far I love the ROM, and can't really find any bugs on my end.

One other thing that is semi-separate from this ROM is, is there a way to type Korean on the Google Keyboard that comes with this ROM, or do I have to download the Google Korean Input. Because When I download the Korean Google Input I get another Keyboard. Thanks so much Nitro and the rest of you guys.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
As far as i know, battery life, for me atleast, seemed to increase and i feel like i especially dont lose as much battery as i would when my scrern is off or using low power apps. Could be your battery or something else. Hopefully you can fix it but for me, i think it improved.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Hmm Could you possibly tell me what you guys have turned off in the settings/ turned on? It might just me having unrealistically high expectations, but I have been playing tower defense for about 3 hours and the battery shot down to crazy like 70 to 40. I am pretty sure it's not my battery, because when I was running Optimal, I would usually decrease about 15% or 20% in playing tower defense for like 4 or 5 hours. I am not at all saying that this rom is inferior to Optimal at all, but just wondering how you are getting that crazy battery life that many have been getting? Is it just like that when you guys just keep your phone in your pocket and rarely use it, you guys get like 50% left after one day? I just really would like to know what is wrong in my end. I have seen that it has improved in the comments and I would really like to know how. Nevertheless, Really great job Nitro I thank you so much for this AOSP! If anyone has recommendations for how I could improve battery life (not by downloading an app, but rather just messing with the settings or something in this rom) that would be awesome!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
Did the Google dialer go away with this build?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
No, mine is still there. Nitro said he fixed the bugs with it like when it kept crashing. When i flashed the lastest build tho, on my home screen, the phone icon turned into the android guy and said the app didnt exist. So i just added a new icon from the app drawer and its fine now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SkinnyT:
My icon went blank as well, but I seem to have the AOSP dialer now. Atleast I think that's what it is. I'm kinda partial to the Google dialer, but hey, everything else on this ROM runs great so I can work with a different dialer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
I have been experiencing the same problem. When using Eclipse, the screen seems to be a large cause of battery drain. For me, 2 hours of screen time resulted in a ~40% decrease in battery. This is a drastic difference over stock where I can get a battery life of 2+ days on a single charge with normal usage. With Eclipse, I haven't been able to get over 12 hours with the same usage. I have tried numerous monitoring apps and various other tricks to try and pin point the cause and extend the battery life, but without any luck. I have all of the smart screen settings set identically to the settings I have on stock. Here's a couple screens from my most recent test:

[IMG="GSam Main 2"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6900419/EclipseComparison/EclipseTW-GsamMain2.png[/IMG][IMG="GSam AppSucker 2"]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6900419/EclipseComparison/EclipseTW-GsamAppSucker2.png[/IMG]

Some other strangeness I have noticed is that the wifi is reported by the stock battery monitor to be running even when I have it disabled and as you can see from the GSam screens above the percent usage doesn't match up with the percent remaining (85% used and 5% remaining?). Additionally, according to GSam, Eclipse has the battery running generally about 10 degrees warmer than stock does under similar conditions. I am going to try 1.0.3 and see if that helps and will report back later.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Hmmm...yeah this is strange. I am currently on 1.0.3 granted I used it less for a day and perhaps maybe the ROM needs to kick in? I just spent less than an hour on my phone listening to music and already a 5 percent decrease..... Man if there is a way, this would be a tremendous amount of help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Maybe i just dont use my phone long enough or use many power sucking apps. The only gane i play is clash of gangs and even on stock it is a battery drainer. Other than that, my battery seems just fine and i charge it every night anyways. Seems the factory reset to flash this rom helped me, but then again, what do i know!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
Are you running Eclipse on the stock slot in safestrap? And with the factory reset, do you mean that you flashed and then performed a factory reset? Just curious, as I am running on the first rom-slot in safestrap and I have been using the rom as-is after flashing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I am running eclipse on stock slot with a full backup already made in case. I had to upgrade to NI2 and then actually formatted the stock slot and wiped like everything. Then i flashed 1.0.3. I never ran any roms in the stock slots because i didnt have enough storage
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
After reading [MENTION=5324900]x DNA x[/MENTION]'s post, I am wondering if these issue don't have something to do with running the rom from one of the rom slots. I was wondering, [MENTION=6281102]Mr.KJ[/MENTION], if you are running from the stock or rom slot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o0BlacknesS0o:
Yes, the Google dialer was removed and replaced with the AOSP dialer in order to fix the bugs that were being caused by the Google dialer
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sorry i ment to say that i have the AOSP dialer, not the google dialer. Brain fart for a second
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Sorry guys for the late response; I was at church. Uh yeah I put it on stock slot. So here's what I did I backed up the optimal ROM I had on stock slot so far, then I wiped the stock slot (everything except micro SD) went in installed 1.0.3 rebooted to download mode, went into Odin and flashed the NI2 firmware rebooted but the battery was bad so I wiped it again and installed flash firmware same bad thing so once more and still bad and here I am now....I charge it every night as well. I didn't wipe it after installing though (could that be it?)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
I wouldn't think that a factory reset after installing the rom would be necessary, but it may be worth trying at this point. Also, you could try downloading the GSam Battery Monitor app (the one shown in the screenshots I have posted) to try and pinpoint the source of the battery drain.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if the NI2 firmware that was flashed may have something to do with the battery drain, although if that was the case I would almost expect to see the same battery life issues on stock, which I haven't been seeing (I have been running Eclipse in the rom slot and switching back and forth between Eclipse and the stock rom). As I had mentioned earlier, I used the instructions and files provided by the post below to upgrade to NI2:

[GUIDE] [Updated] Safely Upgrade and Root (NI2) + VoLTE

Is this how everyone else upgraded to NI2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I just youtubed a video on how to do it but im assuming it is the same way. It also could be the NI2 firmware causing battery drain like you said. I also only factory reset my stock slot before i flashed 1.0.3 and after i flashed NI2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Silkmeister1:
Hey guys,

After reading the last few pages where people have talked about battery drain, here are some ideas to maybe clear up this issue.

1) Hashcode built safe strap around the NCG build while many people are currently using NI2. Could the system be suffering because of incompatability? I personally am on the latest version of safestrap with NI2 on stock slot and Eclipse on slot one.

One thing i noticed after installing v.1.0.2 was for the first 24 hours the rom had great battery life even with heavy use. The next day i started installing many apps and modifying with xPosed and i noticed a huge drain in battery. Could this hint at what is eating up all the battery?

2) from what i can remember correct flashing etiquette suggests to calibrate the battery and wipe battery.stat after completely letting the phone die and then charging it all the way to 100% with the phone off. Maybe this could reset the battery life?

Also, i think it is due to wanam or xposed but the rom was extremely laggy and not smooth. This has dissapeared upon reflashing the phone with a new build.

3) with this new build that went up i first switched to stock, did a factory reset, erased rom slot 1 and made a new one this time with a little more cache and data. (500mb and 3000mb respectively) and then proceeded to install 1.0.3 which completely removed all the lag i was experiencing. Hopefully battery life will return to normal.

Things we can do to save battery: (please feel free to add)

- do not use automatic brightness, instead use the lowest setting that is comfortable for you. ALSO keep in mind there is a setting that is enabled by default that switches brightness according to which app you are using.

- set screen timeout to 15 (or 30) seconds.

- turn haptic feedback off or to a minimum such as on your keyboard strikes.

And many other little things here and there that i can't think of right now.

Here's an interesting idea to think about: considering this phone has two options for power saving modes could we find out, out of all of the options ( such as limit cpu etc ) which one really saves the most ammount of juice and maybe we could make our own power save mode which could switch on by itself when the screen goes off? Does anyone know what I'm trying to say?

Regards

Silkmeister1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Very interesting point and I do understand what you are saying, however, I am not experienced enough to do much lol. Very good point about installing exposed and how that may drain battery... I was also thinking if using an app that switches data to 2g when the screen is off for a long enough time if that would be worth it. Only thing is I like getting my notifications on time, not hours later...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nitroglycerine33:
I run everything on the stock slot. I can easily get over a day on my S5. Are you guys starting with a fresh charging cycle?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
What do you mean fresh cycle? I haven't let my battery die then fully recharge it, no. If that is necessary, please explain when I should do that... For example, let it die, then charge then flash ROM. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Hmm you guys bring up a good point....Is it possible that the firmware we are using is more compatible with stock than eclipse (just in case nitro, could you possibly put a link for the firmware you used to see if that could be the problem? It is possible we might have a slightly different firmware). As far as rooting though I always use DroidModderX on YouTube, so that's how I rooted my phone. I haven't used Xposed since August so I am not sure if this is the case for me :(. I haven't tried 1.0.2 too, but I assume an update would improved it :). For wiping battery stats and calibrating it, I heard you do that once every half year, maybe I was misinformed? Has anyone tried that and saw improvements? For the ROM slot thing Nitro, what do you think do you think putting this ROM on a ROM slot rather than stock improves battery life? For how to solve battery life I only use Automatic Brightness but the rest I have the same setting as you silk.....(really thinking it is firmware at this point) I am starting with a fresh cycle this morning and with mediocre use half on my phone half in my pocket I am at 66%.
