The culprit for the disappearing widgets is the 5x5 launcher mod... I know this because I restored a backup that didn't have that issue then I flashed the mod. In case anybody was curious
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
Still haven't been able to get sms to work, using non-verizon (straight talk) sim, it's the same with every rooted lollipop rom I've installed. From nk2; full wipe (everything but sd), safestrap flash rom, reboot to download, odin oa8 kernel. It had been a week or two since I'd tried and was hoping this updated version would fix whatever the problem is. Still seems like no one has any suggestions for fixing this.

edit: okay after some more research it seems that the most likely thing is that the smsc number has been deleted. The only problem is that the code I've been seeing online to access and change it (*#*#4636#*#*) does nothing on this rom/phone/version of android..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Isn't ST gsm? Did you try setting network mode to gsm/ use a gsm rom like rom at&t or the international roms?

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
No, straight talk now has 4g lte through cdma. You just register your cdma phone to their network and they send an lte sim. Thing is with cdma, or verizon at least, is that I can't even change apn settings. I updated my last post though, looks like it's most likely smsc # being erased in the update.

Anyone been having problems with Pandora specifically?? All apps run fine except this one, I can play music but the ui freezes and then crashes and sometimes freezes my systemui. Not sure if the app itself isn't compatible on lollipop or what
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
long shot but do you use adaway? i know that plays oddly with some apps for me

Notice the overlay problem
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
There is no aroma in this rom

Use my guide on from my stock verizon rom page

Regular incall works fine just full screen has problem

View attachment 3175451

I recommend full wipe ,but you will probably be ok
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FingerBlastJ:
Thanks for testing this out, but i still cant tell if its cut off.

Do you always have 4 apps in the dock?

If yes, then can you put a 5th app and show me what it looks like?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Also a note when applying some of the custom mods if they seem like they are not taking then do a manual reboot.

thank you so much...you rock!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
The lockscreen volume toggle still force closes in settings for me, but with the alternative to assign different fuctions or programs to other controls is great! I'm loving the customizations, like status bar and weather widget, is awesome! I'm back to Lollipop! and still finding new functions and customizations. Loving it!

:victory::cool:;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
Great job on porting this over. So far the only thing I can't get working is MMS on the stock messaging app. Hangouts works though. Any chance for a fix? I'm partial to stock msg app, though this rom is so slick I'd still use it and deal w/ hangouts
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
Will the bloat tool work on OA8 or is it only 0A6.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davidhacks:
Can't we just pull the in call ui from one of the basic deodexed lollipop roms and replace it with the one we have
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
thats bcuz the original rom was there.. jrkruse worked it out so he can port the rom to us here on vzw. sprint does have an unlocked BL to my knowledge so the instructions slightly vary from original thread
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If your talking about the torch in settings. It does not work and I forgot to remove that

What is it doing. Not recieving text? Or not sending. Did you do a full wipe before installing rom?

You can use it but it wont remove any verizon stuff or you can use mine from the stock verizon thread.

the incallui works fine its just the full screen one that doesnt work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Hey guys the link to original thread is just so you can go thank those guys. This rom is not a port it is the verizon BOA8 based rom with MOAR mods added to it. The original thread is for sprint rom and things on that thread may mess up this rom. You can use the debloat script from my stock rom thread. The problem with some of the mods not working is the Verizon sales_code.dat changes some features that cant be over written in the past you could just change the sales_code.dat to SPR for sprint to get the features working again but if you do this now MMS will stop working and changing the sales_code.dat back to VZW doesnt always fix the MMS sometimes you have to do a full wipe. The MMS is very specific to sales_code.dat and feature.xml files so be careful messing with those
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
MMS is working when I'm not on wifi, but connecting to wifi it doesn't switch over to data to send MMS. No worries. And thanks for bringing us MOAR!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
This has been an ongoing Verizon problem with mms. I have been able to fix the problem in the past, I will see if I can fix this one
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
I don't see advance calling in settings. Any way to get that back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I will look into that

Here is the MMS fixit will now send on wifi. Also I changed custom settings in data managment with option to clear all mods and return to the way it was when first installed.

Thanks for the mms fix and looking into the advance calling option!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crevis24:
Thank you for this. I was also able to send using the Google messenger app from the store. Not a bad little app.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FingerBlastJ:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:

Thanks again for all of the hard work that has been put into this :D

after denying facebook read contact permissions, i have not had any contact FCs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bitterroots:
I believe that these apps are already removed with the MOAR release. This was meant to debloat the stock ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] masonjb:
OK, I finally got MOAR v6.5 to work, now how do I get to v8??

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You look back like 3 pages and download it...... Then flash it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Thyhack:
lost safe strap

So I installed MOAR and updated my kernel, however in the process safestrap is gone. How do I go about getting SS back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
[MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] anyway to incorporate shortcuts into the moar button control pages?? For example, hold the home button to... In the list be able to select shortcut then chose a shortcut?? Dying,dying to get this!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] masonjb:
I found the zip file but.....I guess I really seem stupid but what do I use to flash it? safestrap was for kitkat right? or will it work on lollipop too?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You put your phone into download mode, then in Odin, flash an older firmware and when the phone reboots, go into safe strap, flash v8, then boot back into download mode and in Odin flash OA8 firmware again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] masonjb:
Thanks again! I think I finally got it all finished..... this wore me out, its been an all day event.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Welcome, its a simple process once you know what you are doing

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Flash an older firmware in odin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] masonjb:
Should I do a full wipe before I flash from v6.5 to v8? After phone started back up all I have is "unfortunately this app stopped" and it is listing every app I had on my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I flashed v6.5 then wiped then did v8 also make sure you are on OA8 firmware...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] masonjb:
Not sure what happened but can't do anything now. It is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s5 screen.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You are gonna have to start over. After you flash the v6.5 ROM, you can't fully wipe everything, I made that mistake before, you just factory reset then install v8. So flash ncg stock tar in Odin and gotta start over
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rompnit:
Hey folks! The 3Minit Battery Mod has been updated, and it will not function until you update the app itself. :eek:

Grab the zip here and flash in recovery : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538818

My apologies for any inconvenience.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
I got the MOAR 6.0 running. Looking to upgrade to the 6.5 as it looks to fix some of the lag issues and other stuff too. I've also been wanting to try out the Inverted theme. Can I flash the update_v8 with the inverted theme or is it best to wait on the update until there is one made for the black theme?

Order of flashing would be as show, right?

MOAR 6.5

Update v8

Inverted theme 6.5

Thank you

side note: Can I go from MOAR 6.0 right to the update version 8 or do I need to go to MOAR 6.5 first?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mr.KJ:
Yeah, like the other guy said I think you might need to start fresh again.

Here's what I did coming from OptimalROM so (NI2 or NK2), but it really shouldn't matter either one you are in, just that you are rooted and have safestrap

1). Boot into safestrap

2). Wipe ALL (EXCEPT SD card)

3). Flash the MOAR 6.5

4). IMPORTANT: Reboot into Download Mode

5). Go on ODIN and flash the BOA8 firmware only

6). Boot it up (Note: Mine takes 30 minutes on the Initial Boot, while I know some of them said like 20 minutes so just wait)

-----If You want to flash the DARK Theme----------------

7). From step 6 (Note: You did NOT flash this right after the ROM, but rather you booted into the ROM), I think it is Post 2? or you can look for it on this thread, but download the theme

8). Do the instructions posted on the link with the download (I know the first time I did it, when it told me to delete the Play Store I was like what? I did, and I tried to click the Play Store, but obviously it didn't work since I deleted it, but this is good! Because the theme comes with the themed Play Store, so just delete it!)

9). Boot into Download Mode [ I feel as the easiest way to do this since you are on this ROM now, is either add it to your boot menu (Even if you don't add it I think it might still be there when you press reboot), or go into the MOAR mod Control--> Restart Options-->Restart to Download Mode]

10). Go and flash the NI2 Kernal for Safestrap (or something else that gets you into safestrap),

11). Click Recovery when the Safestrap thing pops up

12). Wipe cache and dalvik cache ( I am not sure if this step is needed, but I just always do)

13). Flash the theme

14). Wipe Cache and dalvik cache once more (Again not sure, if this is needed, but I do)

15). Reboot to Download Mode,

16). Flash the BOA8 Firmware only

Note: It might take 30 minutes like when we first booted the ROM because we wiped cache and dalvik cache.

-----------Now if you Just want to flash the version 8---------

17). From Step 6, you booted the ROM up

18). Boot into Download Mode [ I feel as the easiest way to do this since you are on this ROM now, is either add it to your boot menu (Even if you don't add it I think it might still be there when you press reboot), or go into the MOAR mod Control--> Restart Options-->Restart to Download Mode]

19). Go and flash the NI2 Kernal for Safestrap (or something else that gets you into safestrap)

20). Click Recovery when the Safestrap thing pops up

21). Wipe cache and dalvik cache ( I am not sure if this step is needed, but I just always do)

22). Flash the Update

23). Wipe Cache and dalvik cache once more (Again not sure, if this is needed, but I do)

24). Reboot to Download Mode,

25). Flash the BOA8 Firmware only

Note: It might take 30 minutes like when we first booted the ROM because we wiped cache and dalvik cache.

You guys are not reading the instructions at all!

RTFD

RTFD: Read The eFin Directions!

Sometimes it's just too easy to ask for help before looking for the answer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Agreed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
haha i got tired of answering questions
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I am getting close
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
best answer for them... is no answer at all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
If some stuff I can really help BC I have found an answer or something I'm glad to help but like one dude literally didn't read anything. When people are lazy that's when I get angry
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
Agreed. I too ask questions but only after I've found something and want someone else to confirm. by doing so... I know I either messed up or... it's a known issue soon to be seen and fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yup, because I need clarification and help too BC I'm no pro but people just gotta read the directions and help everyone out here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bigray327:
Excellent ROM. Thanks so much for the hard work and dedication.

I have one question. Bluetooth isn't streaming song info to my car stereo. I have tried several different players, so it's not an app thing. Clean install, no other issues whatsoever. Sound quality is fine, but no song info or track control to/from the head unit. I can control tracks from the phone, no big deal, I'm not looking for an ops workaround. I really just want to know whether this is a 5.0 thing or a MOAR thing. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
Same issue here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
haha i saw someone ask how to flash since theres no ss on lollipop lmao
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
XDA seems to go through cycles and clearly we are on a low point in people helping themselves. One only needs to look at the lollipop xposed thread to see the worst of the worst in behavior. Lol. Just keep doing the best you can bro, we do appreciate the help guys like you provide...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Someone the other day literally needed to look back a page from the last for a zip and kept asking where to find it lol even after I told him to look back a page lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
lol yea, i can understand someone who reads instructions but are confused vs. someone asking how to install a rom lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Directions help a lot! Somehow people don't realize it, but thanks again for your help, I believe you cleared up some stuff for me before. And people just gotta R-E-A-D! Haha
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I posted a new International BOB7 build rom if anyone wants to try. Its totally stock no MOAR mods and no im not going to make a MOAR International Rom so dont ask the Verizon one keeps my hair grey enough!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Awww man that was my next question lol jk. Besides the mods, what's different with the International version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
Looks like that code doesn't work on either Verizon or Samsung one. I've done some heavy research and it seems like the smsc is definitely the problem, the thing is I can't figure out a way to change it at all. The last thing I haven't tried is putting my Sim in a different phone and updating it from there but I'm doing that with my nexus tonight. I'll report back how that goes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bigray327:
Does BOB7 address this issue that was probably missed because of all the whining about newbs?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
did it work on the stock BOA8 rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
here flash this then you should be able to enter data menu on phone or use galaxy tools to enter hidden menu

Is your hair really starting to turn gray?!?! Hahaha jk thanks for all of your hard work :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
Okay I've made it to the menu but still can't update it. When I hit refresh it fills in the right number but the update button does nothing. It doesn't save it just clears when I back out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cdcom:
Can I install on Dev. Edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
Probably not. It'll lock your bootloader if I'm not mistaken.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
I keep getting a persistent System FC and cannot do anything. I reflashed updates and 6.5 a couple times now... Id rather not wipe my whole device. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
After I messed with the system UI for a little bit I used to get that. If its systemui, I'm sure you can flash a stock system ui from the ROM and fix it. Otherwise a wipe may be necessary. Is your firmware OA8 too?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
Just factory reset ;/ now im just waiting for this damn thing to optimize the 396 apps that its doing, so I may get it working tomorrow. lol firmware is OAB also
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
OK, let us know... And I had to ask about firmware BC I saw some other guy the other day install MOAR ROM for lollipop and flash a KitKat firmware for "xposed to work" lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
What are your apn setting can you take a screen shot of those. Have you added the correct ones?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Guys, I am doing some work for my sister on her Verizon G900V (rooted and safestrap) on B0A8 5.0 lolli currently.

What do I need to do to flash this ROM? Or at least start having fun with it and flashing anything custom that is available here in forums?

Please - any help/insight is appreciated. PLEASE...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Yes just flash with twrp and use either stock kernel or ktoonsez. Just remember don't flash firmware. Just rom and kernel in twrp

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rapunzl:
Just follow the instructions in the OP. You'll need to flash an NK2 kernel or lower to use Safestrap to flash the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Thanks, just want to make sure it is possible. Unfortunately there are no real instructions in the OP. And original thread takes me to Sprint and I am nervous to follow instructions for a different variant.

Hmmm
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
almost same exact instructions for any other rom thread on here including jrkruses other roms.. so you can use instructions from other lollipop threads on here..

You need ss and root so if you have already flash a 4.4.x kernel in odin and boot straight into ss.. wipe and flash L rom then boot straight into dl mode and odin the stock oa8 firmware only tar and wait a thousand minutes for first boot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Just to give everyone a heads up updates and roms will have the date in them to cut down on confussion,so if an update is a higher date than the rom then obviously you need to flash it to bring rom up to date and if the rom is a higher date than any of the updates then you dont need to flash them.

VZW_MOAR_UPDATE_V8.zip this was released last week this is the latest features so if you have flashed it then your current if you have not flashed this then you need to do so to have the latest features.

As for the Dark theme I am try to put together a zip that will let you flash the theme directly from the developers post and then just flash my zip to make it compatible with Verizon. That way you will be able to get the updates from them without waiting for me to update it here. I let you know when this is ready.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
I'm back on nk2 for now but the apn was the same on 5.0, I don't have the option to modify or create new ones. I should mention again that I'm on an unlocked Verizon phone using straight talk's new lte sim.

Sending sms is the only problem I have experienced on the 5.0 roms, I've flashed a couple different ones. Using ota to stock/unrooted 5.0 doesn't do it. Just trying to provide as much info as possible here, I've got a long list of things I've tried.

edit - I don't mind moving this conversation over to the q&a, just didn't get far when I posted there before

I just finished sitting thru 44 pages of comments on this ROM..lol (yes Ive read everyone) Lots of good things going on here.. Despite all the repeated unnecessary questions, I truly feel your pain devs.. LOL I just recently got an OTA message on my phone to update to 5.01 Lollipop (will need to do the update in 2 parts) Im currently running NK2 (rooted) So I figure Ive been waiting since Oct to get a decent ROM, I would dive in head first on this one because of all the support and quick turn arounds on updates.. That's awesome in my book.. And I figure since I took notes as I went thru each page, I should have what I need and then some to get this bad boy up and running smoooove.. Thanks to all that took the time to put this puppy together!! See you soon with my progress.. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FingerBlastJ:
anyone else having any playstore issues?

i go to my apps, see updates are available, i go ahead and update and it installs with no issues, the next day i see the same update appear.

This has been happening all week.

i reverted back to 6 from v8 since i had issues with v8.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
did u check the version numbers on the apks?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FingerBlastJ:
Not the version number but i did check the update date.

and its the same apps over and over again and the list is getting longer by the day.

at first it was facebook, then it turned into phillips hue, then mailwise and the list goes on.

ill start writing down the version numbers, but something is definitely up
