Stock Verizon 5.0 Lollipop Rom Deodexed PreRooted

Instructions:

BE PATIENT!!! The Rom Will Take 10 Min Or More To Boot The First Time! And Even Longer If You Do A Dalvik Or Cache Wipe Once Rom Is Installed!!!

1. put rom on internal or external sd card

2. reboot to safetrap

3. do full wipe/data/system/cache

4. flash rom

5. reboot to download mode from safestrap

6. flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 Make sure it is the retail firmware and not just the kernel

7. Safestrap will no longer work unless you use odin and flash NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 or any VZW KITKAT kernel. Then you can enter Safestrap. Once you flash file or whatever you need to do in safestrap remember to boot to download mode from safestrap and then use odin to flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 or the VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5. Then you will be good to go. This process must be done every time you need to use SafeStrap!

DOWNLOAD ROM

AFH_MIRROR

Known Bugs

My Verizon will have to be downloaded from playstore and will have to manually log in.

International Setup Wizard is Used because Verizon Setup Wizard Fails Activation. If you dont have data goto Settings/More networks/Mobile networks. Select access points then select verizon apn and reboot.

Awesome, I had troubles when I deodexed my SystemUI, so now I'll be able to start modding it to make up for the lack of Xposed Framework on Lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
Was google apks giving me problems lol nice job ! I will dl tonight. I tried joeldroid and the method you use for deodex as well as archi kitchen
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
I only ask this here since there is a momentary concentration of modders present. Is the capability to add a switchable "dark ui" feature like in Carbon possible in Touchwiz Roms or is that only in AOSP??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JAYNO20:
I assume the dev edition needs to wait for a kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Its uploaded. Please read the instructions!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crevis24:
Only in aosp
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
MyVerizon App still FC's. As soon as I figure out a fix for the MYVerizon app I will post it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] haps16:
Where can I find the retail software?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chadmledford:
will the tether mod from the odex version work on this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
It already has tethering mod
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Are you talking about the odin tar image. Check HERE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] haps16:
got it already...i asked before your OP was updated with all the links....flashing now.

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

What will the build number/name show in about phone. Followed the steps...flashed rom, went into download, flashed retail firmware via odin.

Retained root and all but is this just straight stock...with all bloat ware still there?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
That is what the OP states. Give it a few days, these guys are really fast at getting the debloat zips tightened up. Lolipop is a new animal so prolly gotta start from scratch on some parts.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] haps16:
Right on... That's what I figured. Running great for me with no rotation problems or fc's.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] donbudafuko:
So just 8nstalled this rom an running great no problems at all...great job...jrkruse u still going to do a path for lollipop?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Can I just flash straight from Optimal?

or maybe the better question is what should I be on (I am on NI2,) before following the instructions you posted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
most the "bloat" is still the same.. same names and same bloat for the most part..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
So what is the difference between this one and the other one from this thread http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/5-0-lollipop-ota-t3019932/post58708587#post58708587 sorry Im new to all this good stuff
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Yup, that's what I did! So far no system fc's :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] G2sws:
Jrkruze thanks again for a great rom. Is there a way I can make the grid size back to stock 4x4.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sequence2469:
I didn't run the debloat zip because I like to do it myself. After my post I realized my cloud wasn't working because I hadn't uninstalled and reinstalled all the Verizon stuff properly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
Please help me

I was on my way to work today and realized that my mobile service doesnt work... Cannot make/receive calls, texts, and no mobile data. My 4g LTE icon and signal meter icon in the status bar show service. My phone has been running better than ever since flashing this ROM when it was first released so I'm not sure wtf happened!?! Any ideas on what to do to get this resolved??????
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
My phone did that earlier today and now im not able to make/receive calls texts or anything. My "Galaxy S5" doesnt even show up on the my verizon website anymore and when i called the automated activation # it asked if i wanted to activate an iphone5... Idk wtf happened, i reflashed and same problem :(:(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
sounds like a problem with vzw lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
[IMG="status ss"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/zupya20c3yepe72/Screenshot_2015-02-16-04-33-58.png?dl=0[/IMG]heres a screenshot of what my setting looks like

I'm on jrkruses rom. this sucks :/ Do you have any suggestions [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
At first I used titanium to freeze apps and had nothing but problems. Using The debloater zip keep , me error free. I think alot of the issues people are having is because they are manually freezing apps and restoring KK data. Just my 2 cents.

[MENTION=223627]JK[/MENTION] any luck on the dark ui theme?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If you goto settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode and toggle from global to lte/cdma then goto access points and make sure verizon internet is checked then reboot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Im aware the flashlight settings FC Verizon changed this and it will no longer work I will remove this and add flashlight to the power menu.

For those who run into the issue of getting the system isnt responding message, simply pull the battery and reboot. This is a known problem with deodexed lollipop roms.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
My problem had nothing to do with this ROM whatsoever! Rep from vzw said my IMEI was changed by Asurion for some reason when I got a replacement like 4 months ago. Weird. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] flashlight in power menu would be sweet. Any chance of adding the extended power menu options? I was also wondering what the progress is with your dark version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
jrkruse, extra toggles aren't working either. Not a huge deal, but while you're in there... :victory:

Thanks so much for all you do!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
lol as i mentioned before it sounded like a vzw issue (something on their end) glad you got it squared away!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] K-alz:
This is probably a very dumb question and I might get flamed for it, but will this rom work for the AT&T S5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
no.

you first need a lollipop stock rom to drop so you can have everything you need mainly the kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] K-alz:
Thanks man. Now I gotta wait for AT&T to release lollipop for our device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] antisouless:
Samsung apps doesn't work. It wont instal. Which means I can't use the phone for my Gear 2.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
aw. so srry lol. did you debloat? how did you you try to install it manually? what exactly did you try to install manually? more info would help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mervant:
Does anyone know, removing which app breaks the screen rotation. I've froze only google & Verizon apps and everything is fine but if uninstalled the screen rotation stops after a reboot. Also tried clearing cache and still didn't work. Cant figure out which one is causing this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xjjk:
MMS fail over wifi

Hi thanks for putting this ROM out. Battery life is awesome and ui is butter. I do have an issue sending mms when Wi-Fi is on. I ran debloat and extras. Any options besides reflash?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
I confirm this as well. I'm running debloat and mods as well... anyone care to test who is running full Stock? the MMS sends fine once off WIFI.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:
My Gear 2 is working fine with this rom. debloat and mods. Just had to install the Gear Manager. It actually works better without the Samsung apps app. Not sure what it's using but you can actually see which Gear apps you have purchased/installed in the past now.

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

No problems sending MMS when wi-fi is on for me. I flashed debloat and extras too.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

Loving this rom so far. Just wondering about the settings screen. Looks like they are supposed to be organized by functionality but that seems to be messed up. e.g. - Under Network Connections there is Display, Wallpaper, and other settings unrelated to network and Accounts is under Motion:)

No biggie. Just wondering if everyone else is seeing this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lickwid:
I'm having issues sending and receiving MMS and Group Text Messages, which are also sent as MMS. Once I turn off my Wifi, I can usually "download" the MMS and it'll populate in the group text messages. I'll probably try to do a clean reflash this week and not restore any of my user data to see if that'll help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
I still have the MMS issue, but I had it on other stock Roms too. I can't get default messages to send MMS even with WiFi off. I can unroot to see the progression if you'd like.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancelinksp:
WIfi passwords not saving?

Anyone experiencing Wifi passwords not saving beyond a reboot with this installed? Just curious before I install this. Did a quick search but didn't notce that here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
Moving from Optimal ROM.... Confirm I flash the ROM per step #4 in the OP.... As well as the MODS and Debloater zips... Then go to step #5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
hey, when u say MMS, you do mean picture messages right? not just a regular text. (don't be offended, just making sure.):D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xjjk:
Yup. it's really putting a damper on sexting. hahah jk.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:
Yes, I am able to send pictures... including sexts:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chicken leg:
It was my understanding that Verizon does not support MMS over WiFi. Some messaging apps have settings that temporarily turn on mobile data in order to send MMS, like Textra.

Someone correct this if I am wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xjjk:
I'm pretty sure that's the native app's behavior too- but it isn't working in this case. The MMS just spins on sending if WIFI is on.

I have to either reboot or resend when wifi is off for it to go thru.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kenjoma:
I keep getting the whistle notification sound everytime I get an email from gmail. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
It's under GMail's Settings/your email address. Uncheck notifications.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
More Mods?

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I was wondering if it would be possible to add more mods to this rom.. Personally I would be very excited to see some lockscreen tweaks and/or tweaks for the pattern & fingerprint lock modes. Also maybe viper4android??? :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
v4a has already been discussed.. as of now requires permissive se which we dont have since we have a locked BL and cant create a custom kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
I found this :

Still wont work?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
nope.. we cant perform step 6... that most likely is posted from someone with a permissive kernel (unlocked BL) most likely international variant or another unlocked BL s5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
Damn, so what can we do with our vzw s5's hahaha. do you know of any cool mods i can implement myself?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancelinksp:
fi passwords not saving?

Anyone experiencing Wifi passwords not saving beyond a reboot with this installed? Just curious before I install this. Did a quick search but didn't notce that here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xjjk:
Re flashed, no mods or debloat, mms works fine even with WiFi enabled.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
that is an issues with Lollipop in general for multiple devices in multiple threads and varies per person it seems.. some have it some dont.. it is not a rom specific problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lancelinksp:
Crap. lol. Wish I was one that didn't have it. Im using your extreme syndicate currently. That's my only problem. Man its a pain because every time I restart my phone or toggle the wifi I lose all wifi passwords. Oh well, could be worse I suppose
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xxnirvana69xx:
Tried flashing mods but tw and something else kept crashing and was left with just a black screen. Seems I'm the only one that's had this problem?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kenjoma:
I would like gmail to notify me when I get an email...I just dont want the whistle notification.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xjjk:
This is probably a dumb question but is there a way to flash something like the debloat script without booting into recovery? Having to swap kernels to use safestrap sometimes isn't possible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Nope.....Only way currently is to go into Recovery by swapping kernels. You must use a computer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chicken leg:
You can change the Gmail notification in Gmail settings. Or you can change the universal Notification sound in Sounds and Notifications in main settings.

This Rom is running like a scalded dog for me. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
are the mods compatible with odex versions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
i would assume not.. the mods are modded deodexed apks so not in the same structure as odex.. i could b wrong of course lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CKyl22:
How do you restore backups and flash ZIPs now that Safestrap is gone?

EDIT: Or use the new Xposed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
I am on BOA8 stock via OTA, how do I go about rooting it or loading this prerooted rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] posted this on his thread
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 2k10MBC300SPT:
Thanks but OMG!!! Talk about complicated..LOL:confused::confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
same thing that you were told in my thread lol. you flash nk2 kernel in odin and boot into ss recovery.. after you do your flashing you just boot into download mode and flash oa8 kernel in odin.. theres the extra step now but you can still use ss as usual this way..

as far as xposed, you have to wait until its compatible and working on samsung tw roms.. as of last i read about it, it was not working on samsung L because some of the files are different

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

lol its really not.. you basically go back to a full kk rooted rom with ss installed, flash rom and odin oa8 kernel.. its the most tedious because you cant root L as is so you must revert back to when you are rooted with ss to be able to flash the new roms..

it was probably less than a day before muniz posted the first stock rooted oa8 rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
It's not hard to do... I just did it yesterday and it took me about 30 minutes.. give or take
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
How can I get the phone short cut back on the lock screen?

I think everyone will love the mods!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:
Is there any way to get rid of the 'battery full' floating message that comes up on the lock screen? Damn thing pops up in the middle of the night and is brighter than all get out:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rosenhauer:
I'm De-Bloated with mods (all done at initial install) and MMS only worked with Wifi off. Switched to Google Messenger and MMS working fine.

Not sure I like it as well as the default app but at least it's working.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
IDK.. But I only have phone short cut if I use finger print lock screen and it's red and only for emergency phone calls. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
I lied..

great rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
maybe try a custom lockscreen if theres no way

i never use shortcuts but i cant find how to remove the phone one
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jtygers:
Debloat help

Did you get it to debloat? I have the same issue. The mods installed but all the bloatware is still there. Do you have to redo the process? I ran the stock.zip then the mod_v1.zip in SS. I'm not sure if that was right since I'm new at this. Other than the bloatware it runs good with no battery drain. The torchlight is the only thing I found that crashes. Thanks for your work this Jrkruse.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

I think I answered my question, I forgot to put in debloat.zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
Glad you got it working! You should try jrkruse's MOAR OAB v.6 ROM! Its incredible

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
so far, this is the best working S5 5.0 Lollipop rom I've found working. Thanks for the upload!

might modify your debloat script to remove some more things, but other then that, this works well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Wrong thread OOPS!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
after using this rom for a few hours and it being plugged in to charge the battery, I noticed a MAJOR over heating issue that was so bad, my phone shut off.

The room i'm in is my basement, its like 60 degrees down here. My phone was simply on a table, I wasn't using it for anything except to charge. Standard Samsung charger
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
sounds like a device issue.. you using standard charger? usb or wall? battery isnt going bad?

A few people have reported some issues with L including battery drain, overheating etc. I feel your issue is device specific bcuz i havent had that on any L and my dsvice is on charger every night all night.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

also, did you end up "modifying" his debloat script like you asked? its not same as r.4.x so it might b something you did

Does anyone have the following apks? I need them to get weather to sync with my Gear 2 watch. I found what I thought were the correct apks in another thread but the Deamon one keeps crashing.
