Hi!

I own a galaxy S4. And as the title says I want to add some Pictures to the contacts.

The Problem is that I have nearly 550 contacts and I want to add Pictures to almost 400.

And I do not use the syncronisation function. I do not Need it.

This is going to be a Long process if I will do it the Standard way : select Picture > set as> contact Photo > select contact > crop Picture > save

Do you know an app (phone or pc) that could speed up the process?

I would like something like this : 1 column contacts, 1 column Pictures and just associate a contact with a Picture.

Thank you ....

Hi all......no idea what's going on or how to solve this, but I seem to have lost the long press function (menu popup) for the recent apps capacitive button.......

This is really annoying because the XDA app and Nova launcher both use this functionality.....

Short press still brings up recents, but the long press does nothing other than make the phone vibrate a couple of times........

Anybody have any ideas why this is happening or what I can check/do about it?

Googling doesn't help, nor does the xposed module MenuBeGone (yes, I'm stock rooted with xposed correctly installed).

Many thanks.....Keith
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
It's nothing I've modified......

None of my installed xposed modules have ANY control over it.

I've not modified anything in buildprop.

And nothing frozen with TiBu has any effect either......I defrosted everything, wiped cache and rebooted just to make sure........

I don't know what else to try......Short of Odin flashing back to unrooted, bloated stock........

What about factory reset?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I could try that, but it's almost as much a last resort as reflashing the firmware.

Apart from this one issue, I've got my phone customised and set up exactly how I want it, and factory resetting will kill all of that..........

Hi Guys,

Any one has idea about where can I buy Front AND Back Tempered Glass Protector :o

I am egarly waiting for it. ;)

Thanks & Regards.:good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bn Waheed:
i bought it from an accessories store in my country. you can buy one from amazon, ebay, etc

if it's not high quality i don't recommend it as it will cause some weird feedback from the touch panel because of the dirt, fingerprints, fluids .. etc "result from my experience with my current bad screen protector"

so i do recommend getting a high quality Tempered glass screen protector with oleophobic coating
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perfectdevil:
You don't need for back only buy for front side

You can get them for like 8 to 10$

Or on aliexpress.com for 2 to 5 $

Has anyone experience with broken tempered glass instead of the screen? :D I broke my screen 2 weeks after i got my z2. (It fell from about 30cm to a carpet xD) Touch didn't work anymore, cause of a little crack.

Now i am using tempered glass, and i hope it would prevent the screen from a damage :P
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bentree:
I have tried 2 different brands of glass screen protectors. Both of them interfered with my proximity sensor. So now I don't use one at all.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IreshS:
I had tempered glass on both back and front cause I never use any cases. I dropped my phone from about 9 Feet (From the first floor), the top right edge hit the ground and the then the it spun and landed face down. To my surprise only the tempered glass broke, So glad I invested in one.

The only damage is that the top right corner is scratched like crazy and because of the sheer force of impact the metal frame has deformed a little near the micro SD card.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
Is there any such thing as a tempered screen with oleophobic coating and also covering the camera? My camera's outer glass is so damaged (there are bubbly deformations on it) that it can not focus properly sometimes.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdithug:
Google Rhinoshield by evolution labs. They have tempered glass protectors for both front and back.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddboss:
I need for the back cause it scratches easily because when I put down my phone then I put it on the back side of the phone. Now I use a screen protector just on the back side

Guys here a more advanced recovery

http://forum.hdblog.it/index.php?/topic/40977-twrp-recovery-lenovo-k920/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
**You can begin the following process from any build/ROM but you must have both root and Safestrap installed before proceeding**

1. Place the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM onto your ext-sdcard.

2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.

3. From the main menu press "Install," then select and install the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.

4. Once complete, from the main menu press "Reboot," then "System." Done!

After following the above process your phone will pause on the Verizon splash screen for about 2 minutes before rebooting.

Caution! Users are reporting issues after using TitaniumBackup to delete or freeze unwanted apps, e.g. rotation stops working. Additionally, users have reported that their device runs hotter with severe battery drain after updating to 5.0. The problem seems to stem from the SHealth pedometer, heart rate monitor, and Facebook Messenger running in the background. Consider disabling these items and rebooting to resolve the issue (Verizon Community Forum: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/851032?start=0&tstart=0).

Optional - Enable Native Tethering AddOn:

1. Place the G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip onto your external sd-card.

2. Flash back the G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel in order to access the Safestrap recovery splashscreen.

3. Flash the file using "Stock" Slot but

do not wipe!

4. Last , press "Home", then reboot into Download Mode and re-flash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel. Done!

Notes:

1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.

2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA8 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).

3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to OA8 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery on 5.0 by flashing back the G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel (reflash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).

4. If you do not already have root access you must first flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), install Safestrap, then proceed with the above process.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kushpancake:
Thank you very much for doing this!!!! I can upgrade straight to OA8 from NK2 (stock root)? Im in process of downloading the stock rom files now... Just a quick reminder on how to apply in 0din would be great. And also havent used SS yet ;/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blair.sadewitz:
Thanks for saving me from having to figure this out! ;)

Upgraded and kept root. Wish I had safestrap, but oh well--I suppose in the scheme of things it's fortunate that there's even still root. Yes, "fortunate" ...

Best regards.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
Thanks for the guide! I was already updated to OA8, but I just flashed a stock nk2 tar (didn't have an nk2 backup) then followed the ncg root method, went back to nk2, installed safestrap, and then followed your guide.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
awesome thread.. i lold at ppl saying we wouldnt have root.. only downgrade is that if already on L you have to go back to a ss compatible rom to upgrade again.. i will be working on Extreme Syndicate when I get home! It will also be deodexed if all goes well ;)

---------- Post added at 06:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 AM ----------

speaking of, you mind if i use your roofed oa8 as a base? of course i will give proper creds!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GuestK00461:
elliwigy are going to make a custom 5.0 ROM? Or update Syndicate? Wasn't sure what you meant but I'm waiting for a good ROM to come out for 5.0. Hopefully eclipse ROM gets updated
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
No worries. Look forward to your ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomsgt:
Can't wait to get home from work and try this out. So if I understand this right you can be on any rom base with root busybox and safe strap and this method will update you right? Or do you need to be on NK2 first?

Just finished the video I made on this process please check it out.

http://youtu.be/WUDIOVas81U
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
You can flash the ROM from any base. The process will update all partitions to OA8. Although someone just reported that their baseband remained at NK2 after flashing the ROM. Let me know if anyone else experiences that issue and I will check it out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Argent36:
downloading it and the stock NK2 tar so I can go through the upgrade (I'm running Rick's ROM on NI2 currently, and pretty sure I need to ODIN back to stock first)

will report back
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomsgt:
Thanks I am planning on making a video on this process as soon as I can. Probably later tonight. I want to fully understand before I start. I will be interested to see more info about the baseband also. Awesome work by the way. I didnt think that lollipop would get root this quick :) and since it is downgradable anyone can root which is awesome.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes, you guys were lucky the qfuse counter remained the same as previous firmware. I hope that ATT is as kind to us but doubt it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kgoroway:
Just a note that both of the download files say:

when you go to download them. The S4 thing is somewhat confusing...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sergiob1:
Good Morning,

I understand the whole process and have all the files ready to go. Could some please inform me if I need ODIN to flash the Kernel, or can I use Safestrap to flash, can I flash the update and boot as normal and flash the kernel later? I ask because I do not have access to a computer and it looks like a long day here at the hospital.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jeff Speake:
I am starting over from scratch and will let you know if the mismatch is still present.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Thanks but I think we are OK. I support many devices and variants and my file naming convention seems to be clear enough for most.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RiggsDaRuler:
Does anyone know if I do a factory reset while on the ROOTED lollipop......will I keep root or will it be lost? Just curious....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] maw230:
So then does anyone know definitively if Xposed will be available for 5.0?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Immediately after flashing the ROM in safestrap can you go to "Advanced" then press "copy log to sd" and send me the .txt file? Thx.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] nddroidfan:
I echo the earlier questions. Is there a way to do this process without access to a PC? I am currently on NI2 with full root and want to get to 5.0 hopefully still with root. The only computer I have is my work computer which will not allow me to install ODIN or Kies since I am not an administrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you all for your hard work on all of this stuff.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I guess I don't understand... The SS method is very easy and requires nearly ZERO effort. I literally did the upgrade while I was 50% asleep and aced it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
The SS data backup/wipe/restore portion took quite a while on my phone, and I had a number of stability issues afterward (some have settled down, I'm not sure about the rest).

I was just wondering if the .tar file allows for an upgrade without needing the backup/wipe/restore piece.

Also, does the .tar file make it any easier to come up with a direct root method for this 5.0 build?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
That's true. It did take a fair second or two, but of all the ways that I have attempted to upgrade and or flash roms for anything, this was by far the most simple.

What as far as stability issues are you having post flash?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
The tar doesn't make upgrading to rooted 5.0 easier, per say... but it does provide a safer firmware upgrade path since all files are checked for integrity before flashing. This is why I recommend we get a FW ODIN tar (I'll do it tonight when I'm home if I get a chance). The process would still be the same for upgrading. Only difference is the FW will get flashed via ODIN and ONLY the ROM will flash via SS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
Here's what I posted before (with my comments):

1. On a power-up (from full off), I get: "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" There are buttons for Wait and OK. Neither one fixes the issue for me, I have to do a battery pull, then boot into Safe Mode, then reboot again.

(I need to check this again later today when I have some time)

2. Every time I boot or reboot, my phone shows "Android is Upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1". It goes through, but I have no idea why that keeps happening. I did boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition, but that didn't help.

(This one might be fixed - I don't think it happened on the last one or two reboots)

3. The auto-brightness level is much dimmer than it was on KitKat.

(Not sure about this one - does the auto-brightness adapt over time?)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] prenedo:
Do we have to backup/restore data to keep root (maybe for SU/busybox?) Or is that step for convenience? I feel like I dirty flashed and wanna start from a clean base...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] olfdag:
So doing this I accidentally flashed NK2 from the lollipop update and it cannot get past the verizon V screen. I've tried re-flashing nk2 and other firmware and nothing helps it. I even flashed the lollipop kernel and I got stuck at the Samsung galaxy screen, when i flash the nk2 it boots to recovery and "updates" something and then reboots to the V screen. Please help. I need my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Sounds like you flashed wrong. If you're going up from NI2 or NK2, you can disregard that part. All you needed to do was flash the upgraded ROM, then flash the upgraded Kernel. If you needed the TetherAddOn you would have flashed that between the Upgraded ROM and the upgraded Kernel...

Now it sounds like you will have to flash the NK2 Rom back, and flash the NK2 Kernel, root, and then restart the process....

See this link here.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] olfdag:
I took the update and was on 5.0 and then accidently flashed nk2. I tried flashing all the components seprately along with the stock nk2 rom. Same thing happens.

I had an idea that I could flash the lolipop rom and kernel and that might fix it because something in my phone still thinks its lolipop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Trak-X:
1. The power-up issued appeared on my second phone, after flashing the Tether Addon, but after the second reboot it settled. It did not come anymore.

2. The part with upgrading apps every reboot, happened to me as well, but got fixed after i started removing Xposed and old modules that are not working on Lollipop anymore.

3. Don't think its a bug, but a feature.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I had Xposed before.. It didn't cause me any problem. I removed it first boot.

Also, for me upgrading from NI2 I flashed the new ROM, then the TetherAddOn during the same sequence without rebooting, and rebooted to download, flashed the kernel, and it rebooted again. CAKE.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
Thanks for your responses.

1. ("Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" ): That one hung around a at least a few boots/reboots last night. I had to take the phone out of the OtterBox case to do a battery pull, so I kept it out of the case the rest of the evening. I had to do a few more battery pulls on it last night. It might have been my imagination (I was pretty tired at the time), but I *think* it was only happening if I did a full shutdown - not a reboot from within the OS. (can't explain that one). Perhaps it was just happening some of the time, and not every time. I'll have to play with it a bit more this evening. After the fact, I did read that I should be able to force the phone to power off (without pulling the battery) by holding Power and VolumeDown for 7 seconds. I didn't try that last night, though. I'll try that if the phone hangs on bootup this evening. At lest it saves me the hassle of pulling it out of the case to pull the battery.

2. ("Android is Upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1") This *might* be gone now. I didn't have Xposed on my phone, but I found one root-enabled app, "App Ops" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission&hl=en), that I hadn't re-opened (and re-granted root access). Once I granted it Root access, that might have done it (or whatever else was doing it fixed itself). I didn't notice that problem when I did a reboot this morning.

3. (Auto-Brightness is dimmer than on 4.4.4) I guess a dimmer screen saves more battery, but it can be hard to see in certain light. I wish there were a way to adjust the sensitivity of the Auto-Brightness feature.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
There is nothing unsafe about flashing all partitions via Safestrap and zero advantage to flashing via Odin. All images, except for system, contained in the ROM.zip are stock and signed. Let's stay on topic in this thread.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
I just added a note to the OP adding clarity on this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ymDroid:
Rooted on NI2 without SS. 3 questions..

1) My S4 is on SS 3.72....what verison of SS is everyone using for thier S5? 3.75? Anyone have a download link?

2) Did you all uninstall Wanan and Xposed before backing up USER DATA so it won't be reinstalled after the restore on 5.0?

3) On my current NI2 build, I activated native teathering, and used an SQL Editor to activate to OEM teather toggle icon. Does flashing the Native G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip activate this toggle? Or does Lollipop now have it active by default? Or is everyone just using the stock VZW teather app in the app drawer? Or did everyone reactive the toggle with the SQL Editor again?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
1) Unknown, I have had it installed since I upgraded to NI2 via the post in this sub-forum giving step-by-step instructions.

2) No I did not. But for grins, do so first, and report if you have any issues after. Some have said they get a random app initializing constantly when they phone is powering up. Could be that.

3) The TetherAddOn is required. When you are flashing in SS for the OA8 ROM, flash that immediately after without rebooting, then navigate to home, and reboot to download, and flash the OA8 Kernel in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] freak69ize:
Easy peasy! Followed instructions in OP. Booted up just like everyone is saying. Im having same issues as most. Google play Services.. S Health keeps force closing.

1) what version were you all running before the 5.0 update? 3.75?

2) I'll try that. Delete Xposed 1st.

3) Does the tether add on give you the native hotspot toggle for the notification toggles?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
It's all integrated native tether. Notifications?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ymDroid:
The hotspot toggle in the notification drop down.
