Unfortunately it might be delayed, apparently my machine now eats ram too fast and 2 TB is completely filled lol. Gotta find some space to make, and get a lighter desktop env I guess. Should still manage a build today, but may be a little later than expected.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Anybody got any opinions on LXDE vs XFCE vs Enlightenment for light weightedness and versatility?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
Depends on your PC specs... I personally love KDE, but I live on a Xeon. What' I've read about the two they're both similar, I'd go with the one that's been around longer though.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
I agree KDE is my favorite, but as of lately its been using a lot of memory for me. I went old school and using iceWM, now I got 7.5GB of free memory as opposed to the usual 1GB plus buffers, swap and cache. IceWM is ugly but it will do the trick for running my build, I was thinking of just booting in init 3 for building but then I wouldn't be able to use synergy for my keyboard and mouse. Having one BT keyboard and one BT mouse controlling 3 systems at the same desk is very nice, and I cant go back to a KVM and/or multiple keyboards and mice.

Have you tried and of the KDE/QT 5 stuff yet?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
I haven't. I don't really mess with GUIs much, don't really spend a lot of time outside of a shell anyways. Long as I can simulate my chip designs on my machine, I'm pretty happy.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
New builds up, in OP. I haven't tested yet OnCall again :(, last oncall until the 25th.

Havent done much work on the S5 Sport yet, been tweaking my build box.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
you rock sir! testing
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Do you spend anytime with CAD/CAM software while designing chips?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
I don't, I don't do the physical design (i.e placing transistors) I do the logic side (functional design).

btw, any idea how to uninstall busybox? My work requires MobileIron software be installed to get native exchange mail, otherwise I have to use some stupid sandbox software.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
I have looked at mobileiron and honestly I can't say I understand exactly what it does, it looks like its trying to do a little bit of everything but is mostly VPN software? If you are talking about busybox that comes with cm I don't think you can, short of mounting rw and manually removing whichever pieces you need to. If you have a third party busybox installed then it should be a matter of uninstalling the app, and cleaning up its pieces.

I can't help but wonder why you are trying to remove busybox, and if you mean the app or all the commands that the app leaves on your device?

Is your exchange server only accessible from inside your company's network?

Can you use an alternate VPN solution to access exchange?

What exactly is happening with mobileiron that is leading to you wanting to remove busybox?

Please forgive the basic questions, like I said I don't really get mobileiron's purpose and just trying to help come up with a solution or workaround. I tried installing it but I am assuming there needs to be some kind of special server set up at work, so I didn't get very far.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
I've been doing a bit of research in this matter, the posts/complaints I've read have come from mostly OnePlus users using MobileIron, wouldn't be surprised if they work where I work. I'm not really sure what MobileIron does either, but our steps, once mobile iron is running is:

Activation -> Encryption -> Configuraiton. I don't think its explicitly connecting anything via a VPN protocol.

The research I've done so far has pointed to removing BusyBox to get it working. It may check if certain things are functional on the system once BusyBox is installed. No one seems to be sure. Its horribly annoying software. I guess my company may use it more to enforce encryption than anything else.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
At what point is it failing, and can you grab some logs of it while failing? Or if you know anyway I can test without having a server setup somewhere?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
BTW have you tried going into Settings->Developer Options and either setting Root access to Disabled or ADB only?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blksith0:
Can you explain exactly what is different between this and the ROM on the CM site? I.e. What is meant by pure/vanilla/unadulterated exactly?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
The idea was that I am not adding anything to the code, it is prebuilt so you dont have to worry about building it yourself and getting all the proprietary libs. That was the idea of course, in practice I modified a few things to make phone calls work(IDK if the official builds ever got this working yet) and also just renaming(sounds easier than it actually is) from unofficial with the plans of eventually doing my own OTAs. I haven't changed, or added anything to, any of the programming that actually effects user experience. Most builds add features and other things, this is just a pure CM experience with no extras.

As for the proprietary libs I am using a mix of things from the muppets' repo and a few hand selected libs pulled from the NKD firmware that are injected in during my build.

If you were to pull in the CM source you would either have to extract the proprietary libs from your phone yourself, or use a repo of them that somebody else got at some point. My build is a mix of both of these methods.

Do you know if the official builds have working phone calls yet? If they do I can remove some of my stuff and make the builds even easier.

Basically pure/vanilla/unadulterated means exactly what they should in theory, the user experience should match exactly what CM is shooting for since there is nothing user facing that is added or modified.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
I'll mess around with it a bit more today. I'll post some logs.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Also, official hasn't gotten phone calls working last I checked. They actually removed offical nightlys as of yesterday, dunno if its back today
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blksith0:
Thanks mike, I see now. I didn't realize that ROM that CM offered wasn't fully ironed out yet, nor did I know that users had to get libraries. I'll try this version out. Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Typically users do not, but if you were to build from source using cm repos you would have to. Downloading one of their nightly builds should include libs.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
FWIW, you seem pretty capable from the command line in Linux so you might know this already but in CM pretty much all command line commands are part of a built in busybox. This is also the case with many stock roms that I have seen, however the busybox binaries they include don't support all the extra commands that CM's busybox does. To take things a step further I think the busybox installer from the app store installs an even bigger busybox binary which includes support for more commands than the previous ones. Basically all commands are just a symlink to the busybox binary, eg ls, dd, which, ps, etc... So removing busybox completely isn't really an option on any android build I have ever seen, maybe removing the busybox installer app, and re-installing the rom to overwrite it's busybox binary. It's possible that the app checks to see if the commands are symlinked to they system busybox or some other one installed after the fact, but just kind of speculating here.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
New sport test build in OP, [MENTION=5340530]robak1965[/MENTION] if you have some time to test today, I should be putting up a second one today with some slight changes. Let me know how it goes, and as before format all the partitions except for external sd.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1991mustang50:
Sport build server down can anyone download?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Yeah looks like androidfilehost.com is down. I am sure it will be back soon, if not I have copies of all my builds and will put them somewhere else. If its not back soon I can put it on my server here, but the time it would take to download you would most likely be better off waiting on AFH.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1991mustang50:
Ok just wasnt sure if it was me or websit thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1991mustang50:
Ok downloaded, wiped/format everything except sd card. It sits at kernel screen then it acts like it going to boot then for a breif second there be a tiny line of snow(or like crt when it goes off just before screen shut off) getting closer but sport still not booting :( thanks for trying. Can someone confirm this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Just got home from my real job, semiconductor job. Will give it a shot. Thanks for your work on this.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Same for me.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Say, is there a way for me to capture a diagnostic or boot log of the sport thru the USB, or is it even getting to a point where it generates any useful logging?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1991mustang50:
No has to boot and debug must be enabled unless he makes it debug default but even then u have to ok ur computer
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
The other build failed, still working on it. Debugging might be possible with some kind of HW connected console, but I don't have the device or any idea where to hook a console up even if I had the device. I am really not sure whats going on with it, I am using the device repo that worked for cm11 and slightly modifying it to make the build complete successfully using kltespr as an example of what needs to be updated. Really didn't have to do much to make the build complete successfully. I will keep trying to get something going as long as you guys want to keep testing, as time allows of course.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1991mustang50:
Always up for testing and i am sure there are others since we apparently not getting stock 5.0 anytime or if at all
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Uploading 2 more test builds now, check back in about 30-40 mins or so for links. AFH is really slow right now

**Update 1**

Uploads are still super slow, one of the builds is finished Sport test build 3

Did some work manually to modify the kernel/boot.img, including adding the proper fstab and the stock dt.img, next test will be similar but with stock kernel inside boot.img. Hopefully one of these two setups will bring us something that boots at least.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dricacho:
miked63017, noticed any improvement on BT performance and stability with the OA6 firmware?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Sorry I really dont have the opportunity to test bluetooth too often, I did make a phone call from my truck and it worked fine but I have not had any probs with it for a phone call in the past either. I will try to steal the wife's car and give it a test a little later when she gets home.

I will say that I have been looking through some of the ramdisk stuff for a stock ROM and samsung does some interesting things in the init scripts for "setting up" on every boot, some BT stuff included. I will persue it a little further if I have some time. I would probably never have noticed it if I wasn't trying to get this build for the S5 sport working.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
I surprisingly don't use root very often, but trying to now and its not working for me. Anybody have it working?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Not sure if this is what you mean, but I've been playing with the 2/9 kltespr build since yesterday and it seems to be working well, root and all (apps only).

Do you by any chance know how to get the dark boot animation? I know they merged that in a while ago but i can't seem to find the toggle for it.

Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Yes that is what I mean, thx, I probably have some left over junk laying around related to su from dirty flashing for so long.

AFAIK there is only one boot animation, if you have a link to a commit I will try to make sure its available in the next build otherwise I will look around and see what I can find.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Hmm, that might be the case then. I've been playing around with the AppOps/Privacy Guard and that seems to be working well in blocking things and etc. as well so I think the rom's good haha.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/87240/

That's the commit i believe.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Hmm I thought I pulled that in already, I will verify before next build, maybe there is a var somewhere I need to set to use the dark one. I definitely dont see an option anywhere in settings to change ATM either. I suppose it could also be a WIP, part of a bigger changeset that would include a new menu in settings etc. Either way I will see what I can find
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Well, Hangs on the Sumsung screen, for a long time, then it reset, and hanged again. Holding the power button to shut off did not work, had to remove the battery to turn off. Booted to recovery and restored from a backup, bud lost my (internal) r/w SD permissions, external SD r/w works fine. Looks like I will have to Odin stock and start fresh and await the next build.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Hrmph, well here is the last one for today.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Same, from my perspective as test3. Hangs for about 2mins at samsung galaxy 5 sport logo and resets. I was able to hold the buttons during one of the resets and boot recovery and restore this time. Maybe some others will confirm. Thanks again for giving your time on this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
:sadness

I don't understand what's going on with it, but as I said previously I will keep trying as long as someone is willing to keep testing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Wish there was a way for me to provide more effective feedback. Afaik there is one and only one recovery for the sport cwm6051, i don't know if this is relevant. I knew i should have taken the blue pill and bought a regular gs5, but i enjoy the challenge.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vizionary357:
I just flashed an unofficial nightly from today for kltespr. I'm running OA6 firmware with the stock cm12 kernel. I can't say that I've noticed much difference in bluetooth performance. I'm gonna try again with a KT kernel, play around and see if that stabilizes it any. Right now my go to ROM is MOAR 5.0 NKD. It's about the most all- around stable thing going right now, but I absolutely hate Touchwiz. I'm hoping these bluetooth issues get worked out in AOSP because that's the only thing keeping me away...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dgr581:
Where did you find it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vizionary357:
Wasn't sure if you were asking me... [MENTION=2273959]manardj1[/MENTION] is still building for kltespr see post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58789355&postcount=5491
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dgr581:
OK, thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Hey I was reading up on this and I don't see a commit that actually makes it the default, I found this for now http://www.bhoot.co.uk/view/237c0923df3e1c21119d47e4139d4225 .

Running another build now, but I don't think its gonna switch the boot animation.

Also, uploading another s5sport test with kernel pieces pulled from the working cm11 rom
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
Hey Mike.

Think you can do another build after all the valentines festivities.. Looks like they added 4k video recording. Would be interested to get that feature enabled!

Thanks!!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Should be in yesterdays build, just gotta find a few mins to upload it :).

Next week will be a little slow going for builds, my son is being born on Tuesday.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wolverinexc:
Congrats man! - I can do some testing on my Sport just want to stay clear from bricking it :p - I just subscribed to this thread
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Thanks, its my first son :)

Updated OP, Sprint, Boost, and S5 Sport test builds up. Sprint and Boost should include the 4k camera mods, if the Sport build works it will not have it, but next one will.

Just want to thank everyone for the Donations once again, a few more rolled in. I will add names to OP when I can, a few were from Users who were not logged in though. If you donated while not logged in please let me know via PM if you want me to put your name in OP, I don't feel right putting your email. Every small amount helps me justify my time spent to my wife, my time management coach, lol.

I am currently on rooted stock ng2 4.4.2 on my sport - should i update firmware before moving forward? if so, would i go with something like OA6 first? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729617

sorry if this was mentioned already. i tried to read through this whole thread this morning and did some searching on other threads
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
NP, I don't think it was mentioned anywhere. AFAIK on the regular s5 the firmware doesn't make a huge difference. I really can't say with any certainty honestly what firmware you should be on. I don't think OA6 will flash on a sport, but I do think there is a new one for the sport, OB1 I believe. Using whatever firmware you are already on should work, if the ROM is gonna boot at all, but upgrading to the latest might be a good test as well.

I wish I could give you a definite answer, but I cant, and I don't have a sport to test on to give you any info that has already been confirmed. Just kind of shooting from the hip, and hoping one of the sport users can clarify some answers once we get a working build.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wolverinexc:
Thanks for the reply - I'll give it a test from NG2 first and if that doesn't work, I'll try OB2 which I just found on the QA section - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-G860P-SPRINT/OB2.rdf
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Thx lemme know how it goes
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
Congrats man! Thanks for the new build!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wolverinexc:
flashed build 5 right from ng2 with 4.4.2 - performed backup then a factory reset before flashing - flashed without error but when it rebooted, it got stuck at "Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport powered by android" screen - showing KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and Set Warranty Bit: kernel - It wouldn't boot any further than that.

I am trying from OB1 or OB2 next
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Same for me, but i let it sit at this screen and it does bootloop after a few minutes. So, from my perspective, no change from test3, test4, or test5. [MENTION=3585663]miked63017[/MENTION]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
OK I will look around and try to find some way of getting logs.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robak1965:
Mike, is there a command terminal in twrp to maybe view kmsg? We currently do not have a twrp recovery for the sport, only cwm.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
You should be able to use adb on any recovery, my only concern is that you will be seeing the kernel log for recovery and not the last boot that failed. I know there is a way to see last log but don't recall how off the top of my head.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to find that, I really do appreciate it!

Also, I was just curios because I saw that commit a while back and was wondering if it was a quirk that it didn't make it into your build.

The 2-13 build is working flawlessly, I just installed it a few hours ago! Thanks for your continued work on this rom!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
I definitely pulled the commit, not sure if its actually used in any build ATM. there might be a flag I have to set or something to use the dark animation, really not sure though. I gotta look into how the boot animation is selected during the build, I have never really played with it during building because most of the time I just find one in a theme I like. Its been something I have been meaning to look into, just never really made it to the top of my list just yet.

Unrelated: anybody like AOKP? I got a build half way done, was wondering if anybody even had any interest?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stanggt1313:
I flashed the Friday the 13th build on Sprint S5... Everything is great except I can't send or receive Pics via MMS. Any ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Have you tried using hangouts as your default messaging app?

I don't use the standard one so can't really comment on it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stanggt1313:
Yes I am using hangouts. If I send one it just sits and says sending. If I have someone send me one it shows sent on there phone but I never get it (not even a notification that one was received). Regular text messages work fine. Before moving to this ROM I Odin'd to the latest TW Lollipop, updated my PRL and profile, then wiped everything and did a clean install.

I'm not sure I used your TWRP to do the install. I think I'm on the latest version. Would that matter? Thanks for your help!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
I don't think the twrp version would matter. My wife had something similar on a stock ROM happen, are you connected to WiFi while having problems with MMS? If so try turning it off and seeing if it sends. I couldn't figure out how to fix hers short of reflashing, but I did suspect something wrong with the APN setup. But not sure that makes sense since reflashing the same ROM fixed it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Remesar:
Just tested MMS. Appears to be working fine using hangouts as my default.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vizionary357:
I wouldn't mind trying out a little pink unicorn power...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dgr581:
i like AOKP as well
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Well the AOKP Lollipop build finished, gave me some problems flashing, then some problems booting. I got it to the screen where it was completing android upgrade, it sat there for 30 mins before I battery pulled. It built without error though, and almost booted lol. Hopefully a little work on it and I'll get it up and running. Haven't used the pink unicorn since I had my fascinate, the one that didn't have 4g, so its been awhile.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] miked63017:
Anybody else having more persistent problems with time in this build? Gonna have to dig in on this one, having accurate time is important.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
The time seems to be funky on this build for me, I had it manually set to EST but that didn't work after a reboot last night. Now I have it set to do it automatically via the cell signal and that seems to be working better.
