either way works. difference is freeze takes up more space but you can unfreeze it vs. it being gone completely.

also, i use tibu pro to freeze stuff and see what it affects. if no issues i remove permanently by deleting it.

theres a ton of useless stuff still in the rom (extreme syndicate rom) that are hidden and most wont notice to remove

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

i should add that a debloat script you will know what is removed and its been tested to have no issues by removing it vs. experimenting in tibu by trial and error

am i dumb or just dumb

I cant seem to find where get the boa8 kernel every time I click the link it just downloads the md5 file. Am I missing something here?

it downloads as "VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5"

feeling like a noob right now...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Check the size of that md5 you looking at......it is likely the actual kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] voteforcondit:
it's 12,131kb that seem right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
lmao.. that is the kernel file.. odin checks md5 to verify it before flashing.. usually tars will have the .md5 extension..

the md5 is usually a set of numbers and letters so if its over 12mb its definitely the full kernel/file as a md5 by itself would have to be in text format and alone will only be kb in size

Hello everyone.

I have happily been running this rom for a week now. Battery life is amazing and everything seems to be working perfectly except for one issue I ran into.

I develop and I am having some issues with the rom not allowing Android Studio to install to the device using USB Debugging. Everything is fine until the following command gets aborted:

DEVICE SHELL COMMAND: pm install -r "/data/local/tmp/edu.csusb.internationalstudies"

Aborted

I am a new developer to Android so I appologize if this is not ROM related, although I was running stock 5.0 before switching to this rom and I had no problems. I have attempted this using three platforms: Arch, Mac OS X and Win 8.1. Any help is very appreciated as I do not take lightly the time that has been spent creating this rom. Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
this is same as stock but deodexed. what are you trying to do with it?

Extreme Syndicate v5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FlipFlops24/7:
I'm having a problem now that I'm on this ROM. When I'm at work I'm connected to my works WiFi, when I leave work and back on 4G, sometimes I cannot connect to the internet unless I reboot. Even turning Airplane Mode ON/Off doesn't fix it. Then sometimes when I'm on 4G and I get home and I'm on my home WIFI, my phone WIFI says connected and I have an IP from my home router, but I cannot connect to the internet unless I reboot again. W in the F?

Is DNS getting stuck somehow? I'll check IFCONFIG and see, but wanted to post the question here ahead of time.

Battery Life FIX

Lollipop 5.0 has bad battery life can anyone post a fix we can flash. Im on VZW_stock Based TW 5.0 Lollipop BOA8
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
If you try MOAR or Extreme Syndicate, both debloated, you will have great battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
lol... i have great battery..

Extreme Syndicate v5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Same. Mine in fact may have been better than my KitKat ROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Ya...all Lollipop ROMs (especially the debloated custom ROMs) have excellent battery life for me. I've been actually impressed with it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
yea.. most people dont let it settle long enough to notice before saying it has bad battery. greenify also helps me lose practically nothing in hours of no use bcuz it sleeps like a baby

I want to flash this as a base before flashing other roms. Does this also set up the partitions or is a separate PIT file needed?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
These days, typically, nobody deals with PIT files, partitions, etc since you should be flashing ROMs only to STOCK slot in SafeStrap. You will likely have problems if you do otherwise.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Usually how long it takes to settle? I flashed your V4 my battery and was 100% after I set up everything and light use battery was at 20% in 4 hours
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
typically it takes a few days but that my friend seems like you have other issues bcuz that seems more excessive by far thsn what i experience on first booot on any L rom available

Extreme Syndicate v5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
I know I have tried everything even went back to NCG reroot same luck maybe my phone doesn't like lollipops. I tried all the lollipop roms and noticed when the phone boots up the first time it gets really warm except on your V4 but like I said battery goes down really quick I guess I'm stuck on KitKat
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
I have never needed to flash a pit before but I saw in another thread about restoring a back up from SS then having to flash the partition file in odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
maybe its your battery? check it for swelling

Extreme Syndicate v5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chevyrhoads:
Thanks Everybody for response

I just changed to Extreme Syndicate L v5 great rom, has alot for editing you can do. Battery life is way better. Now all we need is xposed for lollipop and Safestrap-KLTEVZW-OA8-3.76-B03.apk. Ive tried installing the xposed for Lollipop , it just boot loops.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AKMacAddict:
VoLTE...?

Since this is based on the Verizon stock ROM, I assume there is support for VoLTE. Is that correct?

I'm running Beans 4.4.4 NI2 with ktoonsez kernel on my Developer Edition, and it does provide the VoLTE support I require to use the network here in Alaska. Want to make sure before I flash this ROM (and a new ktoonsez kernel) that the functionality is included.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Yes, since this ROM is based on a Verizon stock ROM, it DOES support VoLTE.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sinfulgray:
[MENTION=2638236]Stupifier[/MENTION] thanks for the quick tips m8. Up and running nice and smoothly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Lightn1ng:
Wat?

May I ask, how in the world did you get these results? I have been experimenting with COUNTLESS ROMs to get results like this. No luck.

Can you please (if you don't mind) give me a basic step-by-step process of doing this? I am currently running this ROM. I have not gotten near these results.

Please? Thanks.

Any love for the developer model? I would love a Lollypop TW rom. For the life of me I cant get the GPS to work with CM based roms.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Yeah you just need to flash this and then the stock oa8 or ktoonsez kernel. No firmware is flashed in the rom zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] downhillvinnie:
Does anyone know if Wanam works on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jeff Speake:
This rom is running great for me. Have not had one glitch. Battery life is outstanding now. :good:

Have debloated it and am running Greenify, so that probably helps. Been running for about 12 hours now with close to 5 hours screen on time and some pretty heavy use. Down to 39% with predicted 8 hours left.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RiggsDaRuler:
Something must have went wrong when I installed then... Because when I flashed this ROM... Was on 94% batt life and only estimated 3hrs left on batt. And my % was dropping rather fast.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crevis24:
Xposed doesn't work with lollipop at this time
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jeff Speake:
I had trouble the first time I installed it, not sure what went wrong, I think it was the program I was using to debloat not liking Lollipop. Second time around I debloated then installed all my apps then went into safestrap and cleared dalvik and cache. After that everything was gravy.

Should mention that the space freed up from debloating did not show up until after I cleared dalvik and cache in safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
this rom is deodexed and w.e else it says in op.. stock oa8 is odex

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
And maybe lose your ability to have a developers edition.

Thanks. Thats what I was afraid of. I'll hold off.

To get the MyVerizon app to work goto system/priv-app and delete or rename VZWAPNSERVICE.APK doing this will cause NFL app too probably not work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jeff Speake:
Update: I got just over 15 hours life with 5 hours 45 minutes of screen on time. Plugged in with 5% battery left.

Was asleep for about 6 hours but the rest of the time I was crushing it...music, videos, benchmarking, texting, file transfers etc, heavy power use.

Not bad. Im guessing with light to moderate use I would get a couple of days out of it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Just flashed this about an hour ago first thing I did was check if Rotation worked it did. After that I started to delete unwanted apps with TB and install apps from the Play Store I was on Facebook when I noticed my screen wasn't rotating again! All apps I removed were Verizon apps and Google that was it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] haps16:
Can someone screenshot a picture of the baseband and build number... I want to make sure mine is correct
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alphahere:
I froze as many apps as possible with built in app manager. Still have rotation. Still have plenty of bloat. Will try with titanium backup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If they both say BOA8 your good to go
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Let me know how it goes. For now I reflashed the Rom I'm not gonna remove anything to see if the rotation issue comes back
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A1Barrett:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. BTW any advice on the GPS bug I keep experiencing with all cm Roms?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
did you try asking in the cm thread?

you need to be on a stock rom gps worked on to get a lock and ensure gps is set up correctly then go to the new rom.. it doesnt always work but this has always been a Android thing
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
It happens to me too, I tried getting a lock on a TW rom and going to a cm rom it still didn't work. Sucks because it was the only thing that didn't work properly and cm12 is do much better to look at lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
lol i was just saying because someone on cm might know of a better fix then asking in here since most dont have the ability to use cm

Newbie help

Hello:

I've followed your steps and now I'm stuck at the initial boot screen. I was wondering if you could help me.

Here is what I've done:

Started with a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 running KitKat 4.4.4 NK2

Downloaded and copied "VZW_BOA8_STOCK_2_8_15.zip " to EXT SD card.

reboot to safetrap

full wipe/data/system/cache

flash rom

reboot to download mode from safestrap

flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5

Rebooted, left it on the initial boot screen for 3 hours ... still stuck on same screen.

Removed battery and tried booting again, same results.

I booted to download mode and re-flashed flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 , rebooted: same result

Booted in download mode, flashed NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5, rebooted, stuck on same screen (I am not getting safestrap boot option any longer)

What is the best action plan to get the phone in working conditions? (preferably on Lollipop)

Thank you in advance for your reply.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A1Barrett:
I've tried the GPS lock on a TW

Rom to no avail. I've asked on the cm threads and they suggested the same TW ROM GPS lock method. Not being able to use can Roms defeated the whole purpose of buying the developer version. Thanks god the nexus 6 works on verizon. The s5 develper is an orphan.... Going up for sale.

BTW I flashed this ROM with the kernel and the boot froze on the red verizon screen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
GPS is a bug it seems on cm. Didn't work for me either. Also how long did you wait? This sucker will take like 15 mins to boot..did u use ktoonsez or stock kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A1Barrett:
I didn't wait that long. Maybe 5-7 min. I've never seen a ROM do that so I thought I screwed something up. I used ktoonsez TW kernel. Should I have waited longer? I know in recovery it took a lot longer to flash than an other rom.

I was setting up the phone for my girlfriend to use (I got my n6) because hers is jacked up. I wanted a stable updated ROM with working GPS for her.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Yeah wait longer, art takes alot longer to build than Dalvik
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] A1Barrett:
Great. I'll give it another shot and try some patience... Lol. Thanks

Love the rom! Best I've used to date. Unfortunately I face an issue. I flashed the debloated and mods zips. After flashing the mods zip I was confronted with a horribly ugly and crammed 5x6 drawer icon layout. I have explored every inch of the launcher and settings, cannot find a way to revert to the old uncrammed 4x5 layout. I saw somewhere on this thread to flash the old system ui zip, that did nothing at all. Any ideas?

Side not that is less bothersome: 3minit tells me it's out of date and closes, I've installed every possible 3minit apk online and it tells me there's a certificate error.

If I already have installed OC4 stock rooted, can I just reflash the deodex version on top of it?

I wouldn't, but Try it.. and if it doesn't work properly, You know what caused the issues and don't expect support until you do a clean install :) it could be ok, but going from a odex rom to a deodex even of the same base, you never know..phones can be weird lol

I've been here since this thread/ROM released.....and I can confirm you are the first person to mention that problem.

I seem to be having an SD card problem. The first card I had just stopped working. Figured it was just the card after putting it directly into the pc and still didn't read. So I bought a new one. I installed and formated. Then I tried to download directly into the sd card. It quit working too. I'm using a 64gb SanDisk micro sdhc class 10.... anyone else having sd problems?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
Assuming you are formatting the Card ExFAT... it should work as long as you have a Windows 7 machine or newer.

As far as 64Gig Sandisk goes... the "ultra" series are known to die. They do a decent job of write protecting itself when it's about to die so that no data is lost... I'd RMA it and Sandisk is good about sending a new one.

I'd get the "Extreme" series S5 won't take advantage of the speed, but it's much more reliable.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beamer182:
Hey guys, so I was wondering, I'm getting zero response even when I restart the system and then reflash the rom as far as screen rotation goes. I've cycled the setting on and off many times with no luck. Any help?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Others have also reported this. Have you uninstalled/removed any System Apps? That might be the cause (removing something you shouldn't have). Otherwise, I'd just recommend re-flashing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MITCHICHA:
Hey I'm definitely a noob when it comes to modding phones but I gotta ask, what is like the base model you are coming from in this upgrade, is this for like everyone that has already gotten the OE1 update and above? Like I have the OG5 update, can I flash these codes you have to upgrade my phone to the OA8 and root it at the same time? I don't understand, unless this is for everyone that has the rooted 4.4.4 or whatever? Because I see that apparently the OE1 and above can't be rooted or downgraded apparently. I was thinking maybe if I rooted to an update above mine it could work? Maybe haha
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:

SHealth has not been counting my steps since I've had the rotate issue as well. Is there something wrong with the way this update interprets the accelerometer?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
I have no idea [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] I only removed Google apps like google+,hangouts,books,games,etc. And Verizon like accessories, tones,navigator,etc. That was it no system apps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
is it possible you removed something you didnt know what it was? not sating you messed it up but only thing i can see in common is ppl say it stopped working.. There are many with no rotation problems and a few who have it and majority of those ive seen that has happened was after a while or after a debloat..

With that being said, theres debloated roms including in the g900f forums that dont have a rotation bug at all..

We do have a different build than intl thread but at same time it leads me to lean towards user error
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Those having screen rotation problems. After you debloated did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? This should be done so the system can rebuild the boot.oat file
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
No I didn't. So basically I have to put my phone on download mode and flash the NI2 firmware to access Safetrap and wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jeff Speake:
Yes. And then be prepared to wait. It takes a while to optimize all apps after you clear Dalvik and Cache. I grew a full beard while waiting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kiroiv:
Awesome Rom!

Can someone start a list of safe apps to debloat? I always seem to have a problem with this as I always want to get rid of as much bloat as possible while still retaining as much of the intended usability.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] prenedo:
In regards to s-health, have you opened the app and agreed to the terms again? I dirty flashed and had to do that to get it going again.

I did a data restore as mentioned in muniz install instructions and haven't had any issues with auto rotate working. Those that are having issues, did you have it turned off when flashing the new ROM? Maybe it is locked off now or something. I'm assuming you've tried toggling on/off in both the settings menu and from the quick tile?
