I tried that but it still won't update or install. In the google play store it has a red paint roller over a blue circle icon and it's Layers Manager by BitSyko Development. Error 505 when trying to update. The icon for "Manager" in TB and when I look in the Apps looks different so not sure what is going on. I tried to just install the apk and I get the error can't install. Everything is read/write in system and everything but it just won't update or install. It's like there is two different Apps. I looked in TB for the one that needs updated in TB and it's not there. Oh well I guess I will just not update it. Thanks anyway.

Is there is way to install the Samsung S6 keyboard (with the emoji to the left of the spacebar) onto this ROM? Nothing happens or I get FC from what I've found in the forums and Google. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your efforts on this [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]. I just moved over from sprint to Verizon and your efforts have made it much better. Good luck on V7.0. It has some features that would be cool, namely NFC whole screen off and locked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I know that you shouldn't request anything from or of the developers due to them taking the time out of their lives to give us these awesome ROM's and all. Do we foresee a new MOAR to be developed for this S5? I had saw that there is a new version that Tdunham has released and wondering if it may be possible for a port to this S5.. It's awesome work that you, JRKruse, and other developers that brings the awesomeness to our phones. Thank you for your dedication to all of us members of the community.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I have been working on trying to make bog5 build into MOAR but verizon changed the framework so much that I doubt I can get it to work. I think this why they didnt update base builds on sprint their frmaework may have changed in their latest build like verizons did. I might look into adding the latest release to the current base build
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
That sounds awesome and I know that it's a lot of work for you and other developers to do. Just had thought I'd ask is all. If you are able to release an updated version I know it'll be an awesome port. Many thanks, A
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well that's the thing if it was a port that would be easy. The Verizon Moar is not a port it's built from the Verizon base
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
My apologies for that. I guess I mistakenly thought it was because of the sprint variant released. Thank you for correcting me

Hey All,

Great thread a lot of great info but I'm only on p. 18 and I'll be an old man by the time I read the entire thread. This is my first attempt at installing a custom ROM. Here's where I'm at.

Model: SM-G900V (Verizon)

Original OS: 5.0.0.

Original Baseband Version: g900VVRU1BOC4

I've downloaded/installed: Odin, TowelRoot, Root Checker, SuperSU, BusyBox & Safestrap. I have since downgraded to 4.4.2 (xxNCG) as it was my understanding I needed to do this in order to root. I'm also now rooted. YES!

Here's where I'm lost:

1. Do I need to flash back to a stock lollipop ROM to use this ROM? If so, should I use what originally came w/ the phone or something newer/different?

2. Or do I just move the MOAR ROM zip file to my sd-card and then via Safestrap wipe/advanced wipe 4.4.2 and install the MOAR ROM zip?

2.1. What's the difference between BOC4_Vxx and BOC4_GOOGLE_Vxx? I found the answer. The latter replaces Samsung apps w/ their corresponding stock google apps. So I guess the next question is...is there a general preference between the two?

2.2 Is there anything else I need to do once I install the zip via Safestrap? Anything in Odin that needs to be done after installing the zip via SS?

3. I know there were some versions of Lollipop (OG5) that forums were suggesting never be installed because you couldn't roll back to previous versions. Now that my phone is rooted, do I need to worry about this going forward?

A little hand holding would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost there...but if I have to look at teal colored menus for another week I think I'm going to go nuts! ;)

Thanks in advance,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Great job getting to where you are. I'll help as best I can. The rom you want to install is already on the OC4 build. Move your MOAR rom to the external sd card, flash with SS and wait a while. Could take up to 20 minutes to boot up. As far as the OG5 roms go, as long as you are using custom roms, and don't take an OTA, you can downgrade to previous versions and still maintain root. Just follow the developers instructions, and you'll be fine. Best of luck to ya :)

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

And flash your rom in the stock slot when your in SS. Do not try and make another rom slot. That usually doesn't end well!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Badger,

Thanks for responding! So because this ROM is already on the OC4 build, I don't need to do anything prior to flashing the ROM? Also, these instructions (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3077705) seem to suggest I must do more after flashing the new ROM. Do I not need to do the other steps as well?

---------- Post added at 04:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

also, regarding flashing to the stock slot..... I thought the purpose of flashing to another rom slot was to protect the original install and provide a failsafe. No?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If your already running a lollipop OC4 rom, then you will need to Odin flash, or use the N12 flasher app to flash a Kitkat kernel so you can enter SS. Then flash the MOAR rom in the stock slot. Be sure to back up the rom your on before you flash anything. That is always a standard practice in the Droid world. If your still on a kitkat rom, then you can just go into SS during bootup. Here's the confusing part at times, some lollipop roms already have the firmware built into the rom, and some do not. That's why you follow the developers instructions to the letter to see if you have to flash different firmware. SS in it's younger days was great for flashing between roms in the various slots you created, but not anymore for the S5. That's why you have to backup, and restore you roms to and from the stock slot. Then there's this, as the LP releases have progressed from Verizon, so has their security. When they released the OE1 update a few months ago, they made it impossible to downgrade and root your phone. Some of our brilliant developers found a work around if you did not take a Verizon OTA update, which is why you will see flashing instructions for bootloaders and firmware in their original posts. Just gotta read, and reread so you know what's going on. Your on the right track for sure. And don't be afraid to make mistakes. If you've already Odined your way back to kitkat NCG, and rooted, and installed SS, you can always do that again if you mess something up. I know I have on several occasions!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] imp3r10:
Could someone give me the instructions to get to this from from 4.4.4 NK7 kernel?

I am rooted currently and have decent knowledge of Android flashing just not sure of the steps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Have your rom and the OC4 firmware downloaded and saved on your external sd card. Go into SS, make a backup, wipe cache, dalvik, system and data. Flash the rom in the stock slot in SS. Do not try making another rom slot!! Then either flash the firmware with a SS flashable .zip, or an Odin .tar file in the phones stock download mode. These are not interchangeable!! So make sure you know which file your using. Let the phone boot up, may take up to 20 minutes. And there ya go :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Badger,

I am still on NCG (kitkat 4.4.2), so to be clear:

1. move MOAR ROM zip file to sd-card

2. launch Safestrap into recovery mode

3. wipe ROM = fresh install

4. install MOAR ROM zip from Safestrap

5. reboot phone

6. done?

Thanks a bunch!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Yes, move the rom to your external sd card, or else you will erase it when you wipe everything. Make sure to back up your current rom, then flash the new one in the stock slot only. And be patient on boot up. It could take 20 minutes or so. Sounds like your ready for lift off! :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Got a problem. I rebooted the phone and twice now I've gone to a screen I'm not sure is normal. It has a little android character laying on its back in the middle of the screen. Near the top it says "Android System Recovery" "Volume Up/Down to move highlight; power button to select"

I've tried to reboot a number of times, same window appears. What did I do wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Sounds like you booted into stock recovery from SS after flashing the rom. Try just wiping cache, then reboot. If that happens again, more than likely your going to need to flash the OC4 firmware. Which means starting over again from NCG. Some roms have the firmware already in the rom .zip, some do not. I'll show you where you can get a SS flashable zip for the firmware if you need it.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Or, you might be able to do this. Download this file..

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553180

Pull the battery on your phone, put it back in, and boot into Odin download mode. Flash the file I showed you, then boot the phone up and see if that works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Now:

Build Number: MOAR_VZW_6.62_BOC4

YES!! Badger you ROCK! Wiping the cache didn't work, but installing the file did.

Ok, so since I'm on the path to true ROM enlightenment:

1. why did that file fix my problem?

2. when files are named "....firmware only" what is it missing (referring to "only")? the kernel? something else?

AGAIN, MUCHO THANKS!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Saaweeeeeeeeeeet! Glad it worked for you. Nice job! The firmware has the modem and kernel already in it. The rom you flashed didn't have the firmware to run on, that's why you got into stock recovery. But you should be good to go now. However, now you will not be able to enter SS unless you flash a kitkat kernel with either Odin, or the N12 flasher app. So you've got some more reading to do. I'll help as best I can with some links if you need me too :)

Is anyone having random reboots or some slowdowns? I love this ROM so far!

Yup use to have random reboots I switched to Verizon messaging app haven't had a reboot since
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Badger50 "The rom you flashed didn't have the firmware to run on"

You lost me. I initially installed the ROM in the OP. Why wouldn't it have the firmware included
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Mainly because many people like to use different radios or certain features for their phones. You could run this rom with probably any recent Verizon release as long as it's lollipop based. Just kinda personal preference really. You'll see if you want to flash another rom that, lets say is the latest OG5 release. So you'll have to flash that firmware that coincides with that rom. You'll learn the ropes pretty quick :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
So.....

1. the OP contains a ROM ....but it doesn't include the firmware. Is that typically disclosed or is that just always understood when flashing custom ROM's?

2. Next, I added the OC4 firmware via Odin. That allowed the ROM installation to be complete and my phone to boot properly.

3. However, because this ROM's kernel (OC4) is based on lollipop, Safestrap won't work. So now I have to flash a kitkat kernel via Odin. (prefer odin over N12 only because it's one less program to learn....not that I've really learned odin yet ;) )

Your link was to a page with all lollipop kernels. I thought I needed a kitkat kernel. That confused me.

Can I pick any kitkat kernel? (NK2, NI2, NHA, NE9, NCG) In other words, are all kitkat kernels compatible with a lollipop based ROM?

Am I correct in stating that a stock kernel will suffice?

Is there a reason why I should pick one kernel over the others? The newest one?

Does installing this kernel screw up all my settings, apps and customizations? IE, will I have to reinstall and configure everything again??

Is Titanium Backup sufficient to restore apps/data? Or do I need to make a more encompassing backup? (ie, backup the entire ROM? If so, since I can't access safestrap, can it be done via Odin?)

Before I install a different kernel, am I correct that I must wipe the cache and delvik cache?

I know it's a lot of questions, but such is the path to true ROM flashing enlightenment. :) Thank you for ALL your help!!!! You rock!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
1. Yes. Many roms are like that.

2. Yes you did that correctly.

3. The lollipop kernels are .zip flashable in SS so you can exit SS to get back to your lollipop rom. You need to flash the kernel that coincides with your rom. Use the N12 flasher app to get into SS. Or you can Odin the other ones if you'd like, but it's easier with the app.

4. The kernel will do nothing to harm your rom or system. Think of it as a portal in/out of SS.

5. Tibu is fine for restoring app data, not system stuff. Use your SS backup to do that.

6. No you do not need to wipe to install the kernel.

7. Hope that answers your questions :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacard17:
Now I'm really lost. How can I flash the kernel compatible w/ my ROM if the ROM is lollipop based and SS requires a kitkat kernel?? uhhhgg

Again, the link you provided earlier included only lollipop kernels. But you said I needed to flash a kitkat kernel. Not following you.

I can't do a backup w/ SS prior to installing this kernel because I can't access SS until I flash the kernel. What am I missing??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
You have to flash the kitkat kernel to ENTER SS. Then flash the lollipop kernel to Exit SS. That's it. The kernels are only used for that. They will not affect your rom at all. SS will not function on it's own in a lollipop environment, that's why you have to access it by flashing a kitkat kernel. Once in SS, you can flash themes, do backups, or flash other lollipop roms. That's why when your done with whatever your doing, you have to flash the lollipop kernel to EXIT SS to get back to your lollipop rom. Does that help you a little better now?.:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] llama555:
I wonder if this messaging app is also the reason I have random slowdowns. It is hard to play clash of clans with these slowdowns! Haha
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
You could switch to Verizon messaging see if it helps it worked for me. The Verizon app has some really nice features
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] llama555:
Yeah, I did switch the messaging app and froze the old one. It solves the reboots but I'm still getting random slowdowns. It's only noticeable when I play music or a game. Maybe it has to do with the dark theme I installed. I'll probably reflash everything and see if it solves the issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
I never flashed any of the themes with this rom all the mods cooked into it have always been enough for me not even xposed for me music has never given me any problems just used Samsung stock music app to me it's worth a redo on this rom jrkruse knock this one out of the ball park for me.[emoji4]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] llama555:
Yeah, the freezing stopped once I reflashed the stock MOAR Rom without the dark theme.

I almost have everything working. I get audio fx force closes, even after I froze it using TB, uninstalled it using TB, and force stopped it using the default app manager.

Also, flashfire doesn't open at all. But I don't really need that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Yeah fx was giving me problems also I just used root explorer and deleted it

Also if you did use ff you have to delete it also and download the new version.

Other wise Moar is my favorite rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robramirez:
network mode

I'm on MOAR 6.62v8, first of all very nice rom no problems so far. there is only two that from my perspective are missing, one the network mode, to change from LTE to GLOBAL, I really need that since I do travel internationally. Is there a way to add that?

The other thing I have not found a way to create folders in the app drawer, I saw that somebody else asked that question but nobody has responded.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] imp3r10:
What do you mean of SS? a custom recovery? And which specific firmware do I flash?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Yes. SS is a custom recovery. Which you can get here. But you need to be on a kitkat rom, or kernel to access it.

I apologize if this has already been covered, but I actually did search this thread to see if this issue was addressed:

I can't make calls! The phone immediately ends the call, as though I hung up. Is there something I need to flash?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
You shouldn't have to flash anything.

Did you try wiping cache and devlic cache or maybe a bad download also what firmware are you coming from I came from BOD5 just before the boot loader was completely lock down you will also want to use verizons messaging app to stop radom reboots also vvm will not work with this rom if you read through the threads regarding issues this is my favorite rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] apsavarese:
I'm actually coming from a rooted Straight Talk S5, which has an unlocked bootloader. I'm trying a dalvik/cache wipe as we speak. Haven't had any issues with reboots (though I better knock on wood!).

Nope, still no dice. I flashed Phoenix rom, which works perfectly, though it flashed a new modem in the process of installing. I'm beginning to think the rooted G900V needs new modems with various roms.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] McAtom:
Absolutely loving the ROM - been running it as a DD for a while now, but I've noticed that when I install the "Dark it up" theme, some text in the notification window is tiny. I tested this with the Darksyde theme and it seems to have the same issues.

Does this happen for anyone else? The dark theme is 100% gorgeous but I can't read some of my notifications. :[

I highlighted the text i'm on about w/ red boxes:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] imp3r10:
Thanks,

beofre you said I needed the OC4 firmware but then gave link for the OA8 firmware. Does it matter what I use?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] imp3r10:
I'm trying to install that zip file you gave me through SS, the OA8 one, and it fails when I try to install it. Now what do I do?\

Now I just realized that I didn't backup my apps from TiBU+. Is there anything special I have to do if I want to go back to my nk7 backup nandroid? Do I just restore the backup in SS and then need to flash the nk7 firmware? And then when I flash back my MOAR backup I would need to relax the oc4 firmware?

Yep, that's what you do. You got it bro :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] imp3r10:
What was the things you were saying before about SS not working on lollipop? How do I restore the backup if SS won't work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
SS does not directly work with LP, indirectly, it does. However, you have flash a KitKat kernel to access it from a LP rom. Which is no big deal with the N12 flasher app. Once inside SS, you can do whatever you want. Just make sure the firmware, or kernel matches the rom your going to when you exit SS :)

Also do you have link to firmware zips that would work with SS so I don't need my computer? Or can I just flash nk7 firm from Odin instead?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Already gave you the link to the N12 app. Here is a link to Odin flashable firmwares and kernels. The only SS flashable LP kernels, and firmwares are in different threads on various roms. But if you settle on a certain LP rom, I can probably help you out.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900vnk7-4-4-4-t3037902

I found a kerney download here. When I was using the NK2 firmware after restoring the NK7 backup I made in SS it would hang on a black screen and every program would popup a message saying that it stopped working. I never got to a homescreen. Is that a problem with my backup or the kernel issues? I will try this kernel later on.

****, I just found out TBU+ has a restore from Nandroid. I will try that first before all this other complicated ****.
