My internal memory has been BUGGIN, got my phone super laggy Nothing works smoothly anymore, battery drains Super quick smh time for the S7. I wiped internal memory about a month ago and within weeks it was back dang near full wth?

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
i was having a very similar issue a little while back and i was able to resolve it by moving all the stuff i wanted to keep onto my external sd card ( pictures, videos, music, etc etc. Be thorough, as once you do the next step, its permanent.), wipe the internal storage entirely(including system, cache, and dalvik cache), reinstall the ROM, and ill bet that your problems will have cleared up

i dont know what its filling up with, but i know that i had a TON of partial apk update downloads that were interrupted by the crummy Sprint service where i live. Im on straight talk using an AT&T SIM now, and that problem hasnt recurred for me yet

oh, and id think twice about the S7 if you like having root access and installing a ROM to your liking. That thing is locked down tighter than a drum, and there isnt much of a light at the end of the tunnel for it. No root, no immediate expectation for root anytime soon and EXTREMELY LITTLE little hope for ROMs
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
Yea I've done that and it does work but give it a month or so and that internal memory fills up. It's working my nerves what could eat up my memory because 90% of all my media pics n apps are already on my extsd i have 32gigs and 29 and some change is used up

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
thats weird. Sounds like its the partial downloads of apk updates then. If it starts doing the update and gets interrupted, itll start over and youll end up with dozens of instances of partial apk files, and you know how many apks are used to make a phone work, let alone the extra stuff users install. That would fill your storage and drain the hell out of your battery. I know that apps are small, but if your phone is trying to download 80 apps 40 times each, it adds up quick. I cant think of any other logical thing that would eat up your storage with stuff that you cant see and clears up after an internal wipe while you not noticing anything you wanted as missing and also eating your battery like a fat kid with some chocolate cake.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
BOOM that might be it! Almost all the time i update apps it takes FOREVER sometimes ill forget i updated some apps and hours later either they stopped downloading or still updating or installing, its like idk why this happens #whoaisme Then just now i went to take a pick with the flash on and my phone just died on me, i had 28% power but didn't want to come back on untill i plugged it into the charger, man phone has issues and i keep getting apps needing updating after i reboot, some of them i just updated this a.m.

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
you can turn auto-update off in your app manager. Do a fresh install and turn auto-update off and see what happens then
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
Yea i always turn auto update off

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
you have to do it per app too tho
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
Dang i didn't know that. So through the playstore settings i do this or in app manager?

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
go to the play store, tap the three dashes on the upper left side, go to my apps & games, itll then land you on "installed apps", tap an app, tap the vertical 3 dots on the upper right, uncheck the auto-update box
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
I knew that one, i thought you ment each app you have to turn off auto update. I got you now thanks

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
it is app specific. uncheck the box in one app then go to another app and youll see that box is checked (unless you already unchecked it previously)

Ohhhhhhhhh [emoji50] so . when i unchecked the individual app will i still get the notification the app needs updating

MOAR pow3r3d 7.2 ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
probably, but you can long-press on the update notif in the pulldown menu, touch the little "i" in the circle on the right and uncheck the notification box there. Im not sure if thatll disable all notifs from that app tho, probably will.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barberboy420:
Ok cool, thanks. Hey the whole apps causing more apk's than normal. Would that bogging my internal sd cause my texts notifications to go back to default every now and again?

Really? That sucks! Which of the new phones is the best for root lovers and custom ROM flashers currently?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
yup. probably the nexus devices
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Am I the only one that cannot use the "one press" home button? It's almost making me switch back to 2.2 from a year ago when I rooted my phone. I had the triple press flashlight and that worked so I just turned it off and the home button still is failing.

Also I'd like to get haptic feedback when I press the menu or back button, I tried to change that in the MOAR mod settings under buttons, haptic feedback but it's still not working.

I'm sure these are minor fixes that are just driving me up the wall.

Thanks so much for all the hard work!

Scratch that, just installed a launcher and it fixed both issues.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Okay nevermind.... The HOME button STOPPED working again and the haptic feedback stopped working again. Is this an on going issue?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bytes2bits:
It is currently and has been working perfectly for me and I've been on this rom since it's creation. It is not a rom issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
As soon as I flashed to Lollipop from 4.4.2, the home issue started. I then installed MOAR and it still continued. It comes and goes.. It's weird. I really don't wanna have to redo everything.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lvpre:
Copy to system privapp and change permissions

Did you upgrade your firmware to ok4?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Not sure how exactly to tell. Does this help? haha

Edit: ALL_SPT_G900PVPU1BOA6_G900PSPT1BOA6_CL3859396_QB3804569_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar is the file I used.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
yeah, youre on OA6, unless youve modified your build prop to show OA6 instead of what youre actually running. Try flashing a newer firmware
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
I just used the main link. Can you link me by chance? I'll have to redo everything right?.. Poo

Should I go with PCA?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
ive been running OK4 for the last few Odin flashes ive done, didnt even know about the newer one. I havent had a need for it. But, that being said, i dont know whats all different about PCA. Might not have root available for it. Id go with OK4
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Thanks for the help! Awesome name by the way! Hahaha
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
Not a problem! Yeah, my nick has been youdoofus since the mid 90s, so i dont think i want to change it now. Unless i plan on totally reinventing myself.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
So I just updated to OK4 and it seems good so far. Would you think I should do a fresh install instead of just updating it? All my previous programs remained installed....

Edit: Scratch that. Started over fresh.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lvpre:
For future reference, you should read about nandroids. It is basically a rom backup. But it is usually best to do new fresh installs when switching roms.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
agreed, but nands arent always restorable when going from baseband version to another, especially if you backup all user info. Restoring al nand that has all user data backed up can cause force close nightmares
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] flyboyjr:
Any one having trouble with Android Auto and this Rom... I've been extremely happy with MOAR rom but recently purchased a Pioneer AVIC 8100 NEX with Android Auto. I can't get a lot of the hands free features to work. (Tried my wife's stock unrooted phone and the features work). The problem is when I receive a text message the Pioneer will not read the message and I can't use the voice command. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Yeah, I just back everything up to my SD (pictures, messages and backup files like theme and whatnot) I use a program called App List Backup which will save a list of all programs installed and just go through and install them one by one through the market, might be annoying to some but that's what I've always done. I prefer a fresh install overall.

Thanks for the help everyone! Everything is running smooth on OK4.

Edit: Of course RIGHT AFTER posting everything was okay, the home button stopped working and haptic feedback stopped on the bottom two buttons on my phone..... dammit!! wtf

Edit 2: Issue seemed to have fixed itself again... This is dumb. Is there a permission fix I can possibly run?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stinkfist1:
My wife is currently on the marshmallow version. Is there anything that needs to be done before flashing besides the usual backup and save? Not sure if i had to downgrade her phone to OA6 or anything.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
shouldnt need to. as long as youre rooted and have an aftermarket recovery, you should be good to flash. Im running OK4 and i installed MOAR 7.0 (after a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik, of course). No issues with my install.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
It just did it again. I noticed when I hit the back button nothing happened other than a vibrate. I pressed it again, although it went back, no vibrate. Then the home button stopped working. This is BEYOND annoying. Please let me know if this is ANY sort of permission fix I can try or if anyone else has has these same issues....... Thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
You need to Odin back to ok4 as this rom will not work on marshmallow bootloader.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DeathShot9:
I had this exact issue as well. It just went away after a little while and hasn't come back. I do however have another issue and that is that MMS take as much as two days to show up (they show up in a separate message thread from "unknown sender" with the bubble next to them showing the picture of my contact that send them, and it says downloading). Eventually that thread will disappear and I'll get the MMS. Also when I try to send out MMS they say "pending" for a long time. I can send other texts in the same message thread that are received and I can receive regular SMS in that thread but the MMS that I tried to send will still say "pending".

Anyone have any idea?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Have you tried disabling and reenabling your sync and network? Or updating PRL via update settings? I haven't had too much issue with that. I am however about to break my phone with this and many other what seems to be permission issues. My bluetooth cannot connect anymore. My onscreen messages are having issues when I show from lock screen, just showing blank instead of working as it should... I was hoping this was stable. I really hope I can figure out if there is an all in one permission app or if I need to install another recovery instead or the teamwin screen. That permission fix seems to be almost instant.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stinkfist1:
ok cool. She is rooted yet. But ever since she updated to Marshmallow her phone has been super laggy. So i'm going to put this on there. I've been running version 6 since the day it came out. Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
i havent heard of any permission fix for this issue. Likely just that some trace elements of your previous install are lurking about. Sounds like the best thing to do is move everything you want to keep to the external storage, do a factory reset, then cache and dalvik cache wipe, and then a wipe of internal storage, then reinstall from there either via Odin or TWRP (or whatever compatible recovery youre using). I bet thatll fix the issue. Let us know if you have any other issues!!

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

permission fix in recovery is almost instantaneous as it changes something very small in the code and hasnt ever taken more than a couple seconds even in my oldest of phones (i keep them as a collection of stuff that ive poured much time and effort into over the years and it gives me something to break when im bored lol). But i dont think its a permissions issue, the bluetooth issue sounds like a radio issue. If the bluetooth config app is launching, but nothing is showing in the list (provided there are bluetooth devices around) then its likely a radio issue. Do the move of all your stuff to the external, factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, system and internal memory, reinstall from Odin or recovery and see what you have then. Its the nuclear bomb method of fixing stuff, but it sounds like you need a nuke
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
I've reinstalled from scratch... I wiped everything.. :/
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
and your problem is extant?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Yes
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
dang, that makes no sense then. calling in a friend for his insight [MENTION=299444]AthieN[/MENTION], what are your thoughts?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Couple of thoughts on this -

1. Have you tried re-downloading the ROM? Believe it or not, even the slightest hiccup during the download can create off-the-wall problems like this to occur, even though the ROM appears to be intact and seems to install ok. I would definitely try that first.

2. Which recovery are you on? I highly recommend the latest TWRP (3.0.2-1). Additionally, fixing permissions in recovery is not advised as it was intended for earlier android versions and can cause major issues in later releases.

3. Do you have any additional stuff installed, like xposed, etc.? I've seen similar issues when people do...

4. The MOAR ROM Control app is a beast and if you're not careful, you can really muck things up. Did this problem start before or after you started customizing the ROM?

The best way to go about installing a new ROM is as follows:

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Go into Advanced > File Manager and delete the Android folder from BOTH the internal and external storage. It's important to get rid of both because remnants of your old ROM are stored in both.

3. Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and select System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache (this will NOT delete the contents of your internal storage!). Wipe each of these a total of 3 times!

4. Reboot the device back into recovery again.

5. Install the ROM and whatever else you need to.

6. After everything is installed, wipe Cache/Dalvik again.

7. Reboot the device.

8. Profit!

I would recommend letting the ROM settle a bit after going through the initial setup before you start installing apps and stuff. This is also a good way to see if you continue experiencing the issue, or if it's something you inadvertently did to cause it. :)

Let me know how it turns out!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DeathShot9:
I have now. I'll let you know if anything changed. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
I'll try redownloading the file and try it again tonight.

I have the TWRP-KT.ALL-IN-1, should that be the one I use again?

Since xposed is in beta now for 5.0 or at least that's how I understood it, I stayed away until I got things running right.

I've setup a two and three tap use, however on the very first flash I did, I was just installing apps when the back button started having issues.

I do have a question about the install about this note *** Please note - this ROM is compatible with all Sprint Lollipop builds, but you MUST select the stock kernel during ROM flash if running firmware newer than OA6. *** In the installation of MOAR, the option for the Kernel is Stock Kernel and OA6 Kernel is there the one I choose OA6, because I did.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
TWRP-KT-ALL-IN-1 is pretty old. I would recommend you download TWRP Manager from the play store and it will download and automatically install the latest version to your device. Alternatively, you can grab it from HERE and flash it through ODIN, but using the manager is much easier IMO because you don't need to connect your phone up to a PC to do it. :)

Which baseband/modem are you currently running? Sorry if you said it earlier and I missed it. If you are on one newer than OA6, you'll want to select Stock Kernel during the install, per their instructions.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
I'd rather just have the direct install through ODIN, I'll use that. Maybe I just don't see if, do you have a direct link for the zip file by chance? I really appreciate the help!

I was using OA6 I grabbed from here: http://idoneapps.com/forum/index.php?topic=8.0 (from a previous post).

Again, thanks so much!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Direct link to the updated TWRP? It won't be a zip if you're going to flash it through ODIN, but here's the direct link to the .tar file: https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.2-1-klte.img.tar. What I usually do to update my recovery, is download TWRP Manager from the play store, install the updated recovery through it and then uninstall the TWRP Manager app.

As for the kernel - during the install of the ROM, it asks you if you want to use the OA6 kernel or the stock one (if I remember correctly? i haven't ran MOAR in a long time since I compile my own ROM's from source now). Just choose stock. No need to flash another kernel afterwards. But again, you need to install the kernel that will work with whatever baseband/modem (firmware) you have on your phone. If you are on OA6, then install that kernel. If you are on OK4, then do that kernel... etc.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Okay cool, so I'll get into recovery (once I have the new one installed), delete android folders, wipe 3 times, reboot into recovery again, install MOAR, boot up and do the main startup on the phone, reboot again then start installing apps? I just don't wanna mess things up a 3rd or 4th time... I don't know how many times I've done this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Yep. But make sure you download a fresh copy of the ROM first. And if all that fails, then I would ODIN a stock ROM to the device to wipe the slate clean and start over..

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stevedensmore:
Does anyone have an issue with this ROM that causes the internal storage to constantly run out of space? Is there any fix for this? Mine's getting close to the point of no return, and I really don't want to reconfigure my entire phone to restore its usability.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnycooper:
Check your Download manager cache in settings>apps. Mine had 2gigs cache.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stevedensmore:
I clear my cache multiple times on a daily basis. However, the free space on my phone continues to dwindle. There must be phantom files eating up space. I've read this isn't uncommon with Android in general. Just wish I could figure out a simple solution.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hmgrepper:
This was an issue mentioned a while ago. I remember the system was creating duplicate files, usually after someone stitched from older version to newer and then back, or something like that.

There was a part that told where to search for the duplicates.

I believe it also gave instructions on how to change read only / write settings to prevent future duplicates.

I had to look it up once, searched for "duplicates", think it was within first search page.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Well things were going smoothly for about two hours. Installing about 5 apps and opening them each then rebooting. About half way through my apps the damn issues started back, home button not bringing home and the back button and menu button not giving haptic feedback. and menu not working PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me a fix. I'm about to break this thing!!

Edit: I just hit the home button and it stopped working.... I REALLY REALLY want a fix if possible or I'm switching back to MOAR 2.2... I'm getting sick of not being able to use the damn home key. (also I cannot use the menu button)

Edit 2: The problem randomly fixes itself while the phone is still on. Even a reboot doesn't sometimes fix the problem. I really don't get it..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
What was the last app you installed before it started happening again? Seems like maybe one of the apps might be the culprit? If you are convinced that's not the case, I would suggest maybe trying a different ROM to see if it still happens. Or ODIN a full stock image to your device and see if that fixes it.

I get that you're frustrated man, but there are hundreds of people (at least) running this ROM and if it was an actual bug within the code or something, more people would be experiencing the issue. That tells me that it's something within your device. Either a hardware issue, or an app you're running, or something... :(
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Krytoan:
Wasn't anything I installed as this happened just after installed MOAR the first time around without doing anything else. The first time it occurred I was just checking out the new MOAR app controls.

NOW a new problem that's happening is that for whatever reason my default sounds have selected songs from my SD card for my ringtone and notification sound. Although I switch to something else the changes do not stay. Once I reboot, they revert back to the songs... (seen in attachment) after removing sd card from power off, the phone still wants that song but since it cannot find it it says unknown ringtone for notifications. I'm not sure why the ringtone says charger_connections either.. This whole this is driving me up the wall. I'm beginning to regret attempting to upgrade this pos phone.. Is there a way I can downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 again? Is that even possible? If not I may just consider a damn warranty replacement and not root this again. I've rebooted more in the last day than I have in the last 6 months...

Hahahahaha that actually did fix the haptic feedback however the home button and menu button still don't work. Also I am having other issues as posted above your quote.

Edit: Sorry for editing my posts so many times over... =\
