Okay, I have to ask. I know it says fresh install is highly recommended. Has anyone tried it without doing a fresh install? I would be interested to see if it works.

I might try it tonight after work . I guess it wouldn't hurt anything just to try.

Thanks again for all the hard work that everyone puts into this. I like the separate Q&A. It helps when trying to find answers to anything pertaining to the ROM.

Yes, you can add your own image (instructions in post) or you can flash any one of the pre-made ones.

Titanium Backup for apps and of course using TWRP or Philz to do a nanoid.

It depends on what your current rom is. If you were still on Kit Kat, you definitely need to odin NKD firmware and do a clean install. OTOH, I was on the NKD test build of MOAR already and I dirty flashed last night without any issues.

Hey Ramer! So, I want to do a complete reset on my phone, how would I go about doing it? Wipe system/cache in TWRP? and wipe SDCard?

In TWRP, tap Wipe, then Advanced. Make sure you have moar on extSD and that you're already on NKD firmware.

Kernal Ver 3.4.104-KT-SGS5-KK4.4-TW-G900-10.20.2014-ktoonsez #1

Build Number: Moar V2.2 NE5

I used Odin 3.10 and flashed my phone with the nkd_firmware.tar.md5. My phone just locks up at the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen. I then tried the philz_nkd_firmware.tar.md5 and it does the same thing. Not sure how to get past this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Did you follow the install instructions "exactly" as posted here? Expecially the battery pull to make sure you go into Download Mode from a complete shutdown? You're info shows you're still on ND2 firmware, so try it again. Be aware, the first boot can and will take about 20 minutes as Lollipop creates the ART cache (also if/when you ever clear cache, it'll take that long again).

I open Odin 3.10 I click on AP and add the NKD firmware. Only boxed checked is F. Rest Time. I hit start and the firmware loads onto my phone and it says pass. I remove the battery then put it back in. Boot into recovery and install the rom from my sdcard. Rom installs and my phone will not go past the black screen that sat says Samsung galaxy S5 power by android.

I tried firmware then install rom no luck. I then restore my phone then I install the new rom making sure to format and then I try to install the firmware no luck. I tried firmware new rom and firmware again still no luck.

Why cant the firmware be included in the same package as the rom like the older version?

Hi there! And THANK YOU for the section! I'm having some trippy interactions with this beaut of a rom!

1) Came from Moar's last release

2) Flashed firmware via odin - like instructed and received a PASS

3) Flash ROM - goes to preparing data for first time use screen, then reboots

4) ROM boots

5) This morning, I installed Greenify - then opened the app by entering from the MOAR settings. The phone froze, then rebooted. Upon powering back on - my connectivity was compromised! It would not let me place calls or send texts - and I would receive batches of texts like every 30-60 minutes - then back in the dark (connection wise)

6) Clean Wipe - starting fresh again. Will update. Please review information below too - I find it strange that the baseband still has NE5 - even after receiving a pass from odin when flashing firmware and 5.0 bootloader

It sounds like the bootloader didn't flash the modem.

Check settings/about and see if your baseband is NKD. If not, you're have to reflash the full tarball probably until you get fully on the android 5 bootloader & modem.

You could try just flashing the NKD modem I posted but you HAVE to do this from odin and enter modem from a fully powered off state:

I had the same problem, after flashing the nkd firmware and then flashing M.O.A.R, the room appeared to load fine with the aroma installer but then hung at the galaxy s5 with android screen for ever. The only solution I found was to flash the full tarball version of nkd stock Rom, (the one that says May wipe internal sd

, although in my case it didn't.) Then I odined the nkd firmware file with the twrp recovery included, then battery pull, boot to recovery, full wipe, flashed m.o.a.r, selected clean install, then reboot.this time the phone went past the s5/android screen to the flashing android logo, and finally booted up,

Hello! I was wondering if this ROM could be installed on the Verizon S5. I know that another Sprint ROM (AllianceROM based off of NE5, which even runs off of the NE5 firmware) was ported over and I've also heard that other Sprint ROMs could be installed on the Verizon version. This ROM looks amazing, and (possibly) but being able to install it on the VZW variant would be awesome.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Are there any experienced users here who would be interesting creating a FAQ post and maintain it that I could link to the OP? Only 5 pages in and there's already duplicate questions and answers. Looks like we also need two types of installation instructions (those that coming from NE5 (need to odin the full NKD tarball) and those that have already done it previously. If you're interested, please PM me. It'll last probably about a month but the control freak in me doesn't want to let the Q&A/FAQ get out of hand. Thanks.

Hey guys!

I have a few questions:

I’m noticing that on the lock-screen, none of my notification would show on the top status bar. I would have to unlock to see them (Ex. Unread Gmail’s….unread text..etc…) Is this normal? Also, the SFinder/quickconnect mod was used to hide these items in the pull-down notification… Its not there on the main screen, but when pulling down notification in the lock screen…its still there... Perhaps its a small glitch...

I just flashed the firmware and not the whole rom...so not sure if that's the cause.... I did see that maybe flashing the stock tar whole rom may fix the issue... and went to the posting that had the full stock tars..... However, not sure what the difference is between odexed and deodexed roms....Which is compatible with this MOAR version..?

Lock Screen and Professional Audio System

Hi. first I just want to say I love MOAR! I was looking for a good touchwiz ROM to try lollipop out on and this one is really great, thank you!

Alright, two issues I've encountered so far, I've searched this and the main thread and have not seen them yet.

The first one is more of a general bug, in the MOAR Mod Control if you use "Disable Lockscreen" and restart your phone with that option still on it looks like your launcher won't start, neither will the "system" app, and it would appear that no application that isn't full screen will show up. The Status Bar is still present, any app I activate from there that is full screen will appear, but any app that is not (including the settings) will somehow get thrown behind the black background, can only see it in blips when you pull down the notification bar.

I tried fixing permissions and that caused my phone to boot loop. As a last resort I reflashed the ROM dirty and it reset all of the settings, I was able to get back into everything, all the apps were there running smooth, just had to reset the options. I made a nandroid backup and tested it out again to make sure, "disable lockscreen" MOD, restart, same exact issue.

The second issue is with the new "Professional audio system" features found in lollipop (I specifically upgraded and stayed on touchwiz to take advantage of them), so I don't know if this is a problem with the ROM or the firmware. This new feature is supposed to allow you to give priority to audio processing in the data stream, thus being able to achieve very low latency recording and response times.

I tried a couple of applications (amplitube and soundcamp from the galaxy store..though that one got glitchy) and they said that the professional audio system was activated, but then neither program seemed to be recieving sound, either from the built in mic or later when I tried using my USB audio interface (another feature that should work in lollipop); also, sometimes when I would unplug my interface it would cause some sort of kernel panic and I'd have to pull my battery to restart the phone.

Alright, these are really minor things, though I would love to be able to use pro audio on this android someday, but as a daily driver I'm loving this ROM! Thanks a lot!
