Just tried uninstalling Instagram to test the theory out. After a reboot it came right back. I uninstalled it again plus deleted the associated folder in /data/app and rebooted and it didn't return. I wonder why why uninstalling it didn't get rid of the folder in the first place.

I use fb chat enabler which let's you use fb without messenger. If you'd like I can upload it for you. Can't find the thread here to link
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhuff83:
Freezing messenger within titanium backup still allows you to use chat within the Facebook app as well.

i also have the same issues if i uninstall or move an app to sd when i reboot it puts it back

do you also get a message android upgrading after you uninstall an app because i do that how i know it didn't delete

sidenote most app since the upgrade only update if after i update i goto data/app folder and delete the duplicate files as recommended

so if i get an update yesterday and it stick then get a quick fix update today it will revert back to yesterdays on reboot
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] willowmaker420:

I saw this and have been having this issue, but when I use ES Explorer I can't seem to find the file data/apps. Do I need root explorer? Am I missing something?

Cheers and TIA
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
Check the settings in ES Explorer, you have to turn on root access.

Lockscreen Notifications?

Currently on an AOSP Lollipop ROM and looking at switching over to this one.. Does it support lockscreen notifications? I know that was one of the features of Lollipop but I don't see any screenshots showing them on this ROM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Thanks so much! I thought root turned on WAS the default. That's a big help. Now lets see if the weird frequent updates stop. I tried to keep only one of the updates (the highest number? in some cases I had THIRTEEN!!! aargh
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
I was wondering the same thing about ES. I don't see where to "turn on" root access? I'm not having the updating issue anymore but was just curious as to what was in my data\apps folder. Was able to find it easily with root explorer. I see mostly 1's but there were a few 2's. Will leave for now since I don't have the issue but good to know if it pops up again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
In ES Explorer tap Menu, then tap Tools and turn Root Explorer on.

I found that my fix doesn't prevent future ones but stop those currently doing it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Once the data/app folder has been cleaned out of the extras that are wasting space, you can still disable auto updating for problem apps on an individual basis by just unchecking autoupdate on each app in the play store settings (for that app).

Edit:

What I mean is you can still leave autoupdate on in the main playstore settings but still disable it on a per app basis too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
That's helpful! I assume by clean up the data/app folder you mean delete repeat settings (I had thirteen copies on some, deleted all but the last, the one with the -13 .. ).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
I was having the Playstore issue for a while (seems to have stopped updating apps for no reason), but when I look in data/app I have some with a -2 but there isn't a -1 to go with it. Should I change the -2s to - 1?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yes, that's correct. Not saying to uncheck autoupdate for the one's with multiple numbers, just if the problem returns.

It's not necessary. The android OS is 'supposed' to manage the number increments on its own. It just means that that app has probably updated itself once or twice and removed the prior version like its supposed to do. If it updates that one again, it may delete the apkname-2 folder and make a new apkname-3 folder.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] El.Dante565:
It does have the lock screen notifications so you should be good.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fit it!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cyberone3:
that what happened to some apps for me as well after 3 4 5 times the update would stick but i have some with 34 copies after that

Is anyone else getting an account verification error on the visual voicemail?

Edit:

Turns out that Odin-flashable zip in the OP actually does a full unroot the device. I had to re-root it and now I'm reinstalling the ROM. Will post again if I have the same voicemail issue..

I use a glass cover. Wont prevent breakage if you do something really bad, but can definitely help prevent it in most cases:

I spoke too early. After 2 days of flawless run, I've had my first contacts FC. No changes were done and no new apps installed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
A few pages back (hard to tell with app), [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] talked about fc with contacts and asked if folks had Facebook installed. There was also mention of some other apps that could be trying to access contacts that could be causing fc. Do you have any of these apps installed?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
I saw Settings but nothing referring to root access. Not going to worry about it. Was easy breezy with root explorer.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
If you're talking about the .tar full restore, it wont be rooted. Its a stock .tar. Going back to MOAR, just flash a custom recovery ( i use kt-twrp) and make sure you clean it out, then just flash MOAR via recovery. Its pre-rooted.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

Idk about ES. for fx, you have to download the root access add-on. After that, its literally right there when you open the app. Very user friendly.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
My input on the contacts force closing is indeed an app trying to sync or access contacts. I don't use any social media apps besides Google+. Only thing I have synced is Google and Samsung and 1 exchange email for my moving company. I haven't experienced any force closes besides a notification I get on Call of Duty Heroes, but that's an app issue with lollipop and not ROM related

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
Oh, I must have misread it. I thought the tar was the full package.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

I've got an "Avatar activation" and "Activation message" pending message in my Visual Voicemail app that won't send so my visual voicemail does not work.. I've tried rebooting it and even sending my own activation message to Sprint and nothing works. Anyone else encountered this issue or know of a fix?

Edit:

Additionally, any calls going out end immediately and any incoming calls end immediately.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Whenever I do a clean install, I get the same 4 messages in my vm app and I delete all of them. I know one is about avatar and the other is about Visual vm, which is a paid subscription btw after I think 30 days. Have had no problems with vm after deleting those messages.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
The .tar is the full package of the STOCK OA6. It won't be rooted and nothing outside of stock BS will be included. It's like taking an OTA update, complete STOCK package, sprint bloat ihncluded.

If I were you, unless someone knows of the issue and knows how to fix it, I would start over from scratch.

Do the FULL RESTORE STOCK OA6 via odin. Go through the entire setup of the phone until you reach the HOME screen. Do a PRL/Profile update and get a lock on gps. For kicks, test out the messaging and voicemail details as well. After fully going through the setup, then power down completely (battery pull) and flash TWRP/Philz via odin. Once you have a custom recovery, then just flash MOAR via recovery, after a clean wipe of EVERYTHING of course, reboot and profit. No need to root, because MOAR is pre-rooted. Hopefully that helps and gets ya fixed up. Let us know?!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
I went through all that after I realized my phone wasn't rooted the first time. Voicemail didn't work before or after the process and both calls and messages are iffy; sometimes they work, sometimes they fail.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
I think we all do. They're the generic messages sent to entice you to use all the features. I think I know what hes talking about, with the activation message and messages not being able to download properly. I thought I saw that one time, a long time ago. The only fix I found was to start over, lol. Sucks, but it worked for me, and I've never seen it again. Idk....

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

You had those issues on the complete STOCK package as well? Never seen that? Weird. Did you wipe everything before going back to stock OA6 from the original flash of MOAR or rooting process? I've learned that doing dirty flashes of this stuff always seems to mess things up, for me at least. Rooting on lollipop is iffy at best. Sometimes the process works, sometimes it seems to jack everything up. I try to skip that completely by flashing ROMs that are pre-rooted. Im lazy I guess lol.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
Yeah I got 4 messages in my inbox too but that's not what I'm referring to. Here's some screenshots of what I'm talking about..

No I didn't wipe everything before doing the stock restore. Before I did the stock restore my phone was bricked due to TWRP crashing while clearing cache, so doing the Odin flash was the only way I could find to fix my phone. I've also posted 4 pictures above to show what I see in the voicemail app.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
If your'e still on stock OA6, try activating the phone via the settings menu and see what it does. I didn't realize you were bricked beforehand. Prolly should've started with that???

I would definitely start over, following the instructions I gave you. That brick was prolly the problem, you prolly had some stuff left over.

And make sure you grab a different TWRP before you do, lol. Maybe you got a bad download or something. It happens now and then.

Before flashing ANYTHING, stock or MOAR, WIPE EVERYTHING.

Because of the brick, I would WIPE completely then reflash stock, to make sure you got rid of any corrupted files, go through the setup, then flash the recovery, then flash MOAR. I bet you'll have better results this time. Let us know?!

Whatever you do, just make sure you are doing CLEAN INSTALLS of anything that youre flashing, STOCK OA6 or MOAR v6.1
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
What recovery do you use? Phil's has more wiping options than TWRP although I switch back after the dust has settled. [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] mentioned his thorough wipe routine earlier in the thread. I also wipe stuff at least 3 times and then select clean in the installer. Sounds a little OCD but have for most part (little issues here and there) had good success.

I can't see your images with the VM errors on my phone. Will check out on computer.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
Just to be clear: when you say everything, you mean data, cache, dalvik cache, and all personal files? Or what would you recommend I do to ensure everything is gone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
I wipe everything.

Using KT-TWRP

Internal, system, data, cache and dalvic 3 times

Format Data 3 times

Factory reset 3 times

Delete the Android folder off the extSD as well.

Then I reboot back to recovery, saying yes to reboot and yes to installing SU(these will be asked right before it reboots)

Then I start flashing whatever I need to, STOCK or otherwise.

I don't really worry about personal files because everything syncs with google (pics, contacts etc)

If that worries you, then do a nandroid backup and just restore it afterwards. Just be careful, because of that brick, you may be backing up something corrupted.

I always follow these same steps between ALL ROM FLASHES, works very well for me.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bfilipowski:
I also recommend that screen protector. As an almost certified repair tech, I can confidently say that the place at the store is probably not using gorilla glass and that since this phone is water resistant it is one of the most difficult to open up for repair.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sickfate7:
I am loving this rom! I am having two main issues with it though. Every filth text or so i try to send doesn't send and i have to go in and resend it. Also on Facebook when ever there is a video in my feed it freezes for about 10 sec and then starts playing. Is there a way to fix these issues? Thanks.

I did a clean flash from the stock rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
What Kernel are you using? The FB thing has been mentioned on here so many times that I don't have enough fingers to count it anymore. You'll have to read the thread. Also, have you updated the PRL/Profile yet? What recovery are you using? Did you do a clean flash when going back to stock to begin with. (ie...TW/AOSP custom rom to Stock, and then you flashed this ROM)

MOAR info please :)

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

FYI......In case anyone is wondering, I have flashed most of everything mentioned in the ROM thread (themes, kernels, etc....) up to this point and it is ALL AWESOME. Can't wait for MOAR themeing. If you don't know, now you know.......BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD AND PAPERCLIPS! I can't say enough, thanks again [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] for everything you do for us.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
Okay, I went through all that and voicemail is still not working. On the stock OA6 as well..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sickfate7:
Under Kernel version it says 3.4 0-3859396 dpi@swdd6106 #1. I haven't flashed a kernel. No I haven't updated the PRL/Profile yet, but i just did now. I am using TWRP recovery v2.8.5.0 . When I went back to stock I came from cm12. I wiped everything and then recovered my stock rom. Then wiped everything and then flashed MOAR rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
I'm sorry, you did all that in a 30-45min time frame??? It takes about 10 mins just to wipe everything, another 10 mins formatting data and it takes at least 15-20 mins to rebuild lollipop after wiping caches. Not to doubt you, but that was damn quick. You sure you did everything?

During the process you should have wiped everything on two different occasions 3 times a piece, once when going back to stock and once when going from stock to MOAR. That in itself will take over an hour. And I'm not even counting how long Odin takes flashing files to your phone. That was really quick brother. Just saying.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
I didn't go to MOAR yet, I wiped everything on TWRP 3 times (I used the setting to do 'rm -fr' instead of formatting so that made it a lot faster), then I flashed the stock OA6 tar with Odin. I double checked before I flashed and there was nothing on my internal SD card. I also deleted the Android folder on the external SD. Odin flashing the stock tar took the longest amount of time and that was maybe 15 minutes total.

I didn't flash MOAR yet because the voicemail won't even activate on stock.. I'm wondering if I should just call Sprint and see if it's on their end, but my phone is no longer completely legitimate so they'll likely blame any issue on me.

Edit: Ah, by 'factory reset 3 times', did you mean flash the stock OA6 tar 3 times? I only did that once.. I'll do it again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
Coming from AOSP, I would follow the instructions I posted earlier. I HATE AOSP, I've always had issues with it, especially when trying to go back to TW. And what do you mean by "recovered my stock rom?" Was it a backup? If so, don't use that. Use a fresh copy of the stock OA6, then proceed with MOAR.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sickfate7:
Yes it was a backup. Ok, Thanks! I will give this a try later on today. Is there another kernel i should be using?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
That's prolly exactly what they'll say. Also, I never use that setting you're talking about. When I spend this much on a phone, I don't worry about how long something is going take, as long as it works. The point is making it work, not speeding it up. Not saying using that setting will/is gonna cause an issue, because I have no idea. However I will say this, if you don't wanna follow instructions exactly the way they are given to you, then, I or anyone else here, will not be able to help you. We are only trying to help you, but we can't if everyone just does what ever they THINK is right or going to help. You wouldn't be posting here if that was the case. Sorry, I'm not trying to be a ****, really I just want to help. But maybe you should try asking this on the Q&A thread [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION] has developed for this ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

You could try KT's new kernel, I actually just flashed it today and its working perfect for me. However you have the STOCK kernel, and that's not a bad choice either. I think the kernel is fine, I would revert back to complete STOCK OA6 and go from there. But don't use that backup of the stock ROM. Use a fresh copy, and make sure you wipe completely before flashing back to stock
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
I'll try posting there. But the only reason I had that option set was the developer of the Fusion AOSP ROM said I should. I didn't have that set before I bricked my phone and he said that's what he uses as it seems to be safer and much quicker. Who knows.

I may just have to deal with a broken visual voicemail. Regular voicemail works and that's all I had to work with on the AOSP ROM but that's one of the reasons I didn't like AOSP, because I missed Sprint's VVM. Now I'm back on a Sprint ROM and I still don't get to use it :rolleyes:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
No don't flash the stock 3 times. Re-read the post I sent you.

Wipe Internal/system/data/cache/dalvic 3 times

format data 3 times

factory reset 3 times

ALL FROM RECOVERY

then reboot back to recovery saying yes to both options

You should never need to flash a ROM 3 times to get it to work.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

I see what youre saying but that was on an AOSP setup, I can't speak for that. I always do the same thing when I flash and I hardly ever have any issues. My VVM works just fine and always has between ROMs. If youre still feeling froggy, re-read my instructions, and follow them completely, word for word. See if it helps out. It can't hurt and if something doesn't go right, just wipe everything again and go back to stock OA6 and give it a couple of days to settle. I hope you get it figured out. You could try the "themes and apps" thread for the S5 and see if anyone has a copy of the Sprint VVM apk they could link you too, so you can try to reinstall it. You could also try clearing the app data for that particular apk and rebooting to see if it clears up.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Factory reset is an option in recovery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DarthCthulhu:
Yeah I missed that since I always just immediately click advanced :p
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sickfate7:
Ok i will stick with stock. In your instructions it says to wipe internal storage, so I'm assuming that means i should have the rom file on my sdcard so i can flash it after wipe.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chefbaker11:
Yep. Dont wipe the extSd, just the android folder off of it.

Need a few more testers if anyone is interested.. But need a few folks comfortable with using root explorer, and may be experiencing some lag at times (as mentioned in posts like with facebook video, etc)..

Navigate to system/etc/init.d

Delete 00sdcardspeedfix

Delete 00TEST_INITD

Delete 50tweaks

Reboot

Folks have mentioned over in the VZW forums that doing so has cleared up any lag they may have experienced. Just trying to figure out if it pertains to SPR as well.

May turn out to be another tweak that Lollipop just doesn't really like. :eek:

Thanks all!
