I can probably make a flashable zip for the stock battery this week, the 3minit update isn't needed unless you use it. All that was done was in the changelog; quick pin unlock, remove connection Optimizer, new themes. I guess I'll go back to 1.1 and start again, lol. Thanks for testing it guys.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
No problem, let me know if you want me to test anything. Will gladly help.

Edit: No need to revert the battery for me. I use just the simple percentage and the bar.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
When is the download link for the new version dropping?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Whenever I get around to it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
Lol sorry i shouldn't have said that
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
No worries, I was feeling snarky, lol. Version 1.1 is good, trying to figure out what changes I did that made the system update dissappear.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I think I figured it out, I made a csc edit that I shouldn't have. Rezipping 1.4.1 now, then uploading if you guys wanted to test it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Unfortunately my wifi is down at work, well not down, but intermittent. I'll upload when I get home tonight
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
When I see it up, I will test it and let you know if it works. So I don't clog up the thread I will post my results as an edit.

Thanks for all the hard work, we appreciate it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Since this is so hard to duplicate, try adding all the files that have changed for the current version, create a big flashable zip to bring them back to 1.1 to see if it really fixes it, then start plugging files back in a few at a time until it breaks again.

All you would need is a couple of willing volunteers that can duplicate the problem. :good:

(Or do it in reverse order if they want to flash 1.1 first ;) )
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I pretty sure that it was an edit in feature xml that did it. I finally had time this morning to dig around.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
It's ok. I'm always breaking stuff too. The hardest part is when only a couple of people have the same problem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Yea, or only a couple people report it. I'm still not sure how I uploaded a different zip than what I had, lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Try working in the wrong folder for a couple of hours and wonder why your changes aren't working. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Lol, yea, I've done that
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
Were can I get the 1.1 download.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I can post a link later, I will also upload the fixed (hopefully) 1.4.1 when I get home as well.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Got ya covered with v1.1!

Here ya go: MetalRom 1.1
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
Nice,I will keep an eye out then.thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
1.4.1 is up in the OP of you guys want to test it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I will tomorrow morning...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
System update is back.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Saints be praised!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
All is well in MetalLand now... Time to hunt for new bugs!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Ran a few tests this morning, here are my results:

Wiped everything and performed a clean install of v1.4.1 and System Update is indeed there! (and works, I might add)

Wiped everything and Restored my v1.1 backup, let it boot, then wiped Cache and Dalvik-Cache then dirty flashed v1.4.1 over it. System Update is there and everything seems to be working properly.

(It should be noted I am also on the OD3 bootloader with no known issues.)

Great job [MENTION=2326685]metalfan78[/MENTION]! Appreciate the hard work!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Thank you guys for testing, it definitely helped narrow it down. Now on to improving rather than fixing!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
I flashed and then flashed the 3minit update, but no go..i didnt even check to see if it was already updated before flashing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
The 1.4.1 version already contains the 3minit mod update. That was for updating the one in v1.1.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
Thanks,i will have to reflash the rom.i'll try a dirty flash.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
So... What are you looking in to for potential changes?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Not sure yet, I'm open to suggestions.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Well, for me, it is great just like it is.

I suppose I can come up with a few suggestions.

Possibly remove a lot of the bloatware from the system/app folder. Generally any app that can be gotten from the Play Store doesn't need to be incorporated into the ROM (Music, Books, Flipboard, etc). To be honest, I don't think many people use all of these, and can always get what they do use from the Play Store if they want it.

You could add in the Ad Away Ad Blocker. Always good to have, especially since you can no longer get it from the Play Store.

What about additional Launchers? I have always used Apex myself. However this could simply be an Aroma Installer choice if you ever went that route.

Not sure what else I could suggest. Most of this is just pretty easy to do on our own once we have installed the ROM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] deBricker:
get stuck in a bootloop when I try to flash it on my G900P. Weird.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Hmm... Did it actually keep rebooting or was it just the Samsung Logo loop?

How long did you wait? Sometimes a boot from a clean install can take as much as 20 minutes.

Other than that, ensure you are on either the OA6 or OD3 Bootloader.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Yea, first boot will take forever, and if you have not update EVERYTHING; firmware, bootloader, etc. It will not boot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] deBricker:
I'm on OD3 (the update after OA6) firmware. I was still stock when I had OA6 when I took the update.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

I took a full 40 minute shower (sorry California, it was wash my hair day). When I got back to it, still the Samsung bootanimation.

Maybe I got a bad download (though I don't know why, my internet is at 300mb/s)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Try redownloading first. Clear Cache, Dalvik-Cache, system and data at least 3 times each, then reflash.

If that doesn't work, Odin the OD3 (this will wipe internal, btw), Odin Philz Touchwiz recovery, then boot into the stock ROM. Then boot back to recovery, clear Cache, Dalvik-Cache, system and data at least 3 times each, then reflash.

Should work.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
U asking for a year worth of work lol. But i agree removing most of the bloatware
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
I ad adaway myself.and use nova launcher to activate it.and bebloat myself also
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] deBricker:
Maybe TWRP doesn't work too well with this ROM
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
That is possible, I have not had good luck with it on this phone at all.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
TWRP is what i use.i had no issues installing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I use TWRP also, always have. I might debloat for the next release. I started making a light rom, had it down to like 800 megs.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
Hi again guys. I don't know how many of you appreciate wifi roaming, if you have any device other than Android you know how sexy it is. If not SOME Android lollipop builds and phones work with the developer option to turn on roaming. My issue is every reboot it turns off on me. So I was thinking maybe asking [MENTION=2326685]metalfan78[/MENTION] to include a hard fix for it via this link WiFi roaming hard fix

Though to be said some folks do in fact complain that the developer option check off is really placebo and some don't. I'll edit with a link shortly explaining better what wifi roaming is and what it might have that benefits you

WiFi roaming, Androids greatest flaw
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I also have this issue at home all the time. I live in an old home with either brick or lathe and plaster walks. I have installed multiple AP's to fix this but often and have to toggled WiFi to get it to connect to the better AP. To be honest, I didn't even know there was a fix for this. I think it would be a nice addition to the ROM...!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
Do me a favor, go to your developer options in settings and turn on the checkmark to allow roaming and see if it works for you... And if it does, will a reboot of your phone turn it off again?

Edit: after you turn it on I mean roam through your home to see if it roams
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I will Check it out when I get home. At work now and don't get off for another 6 hours.

Edit: I can confirm the checkmark clears on reboot. I will check and see if it helps when switching between AP's when I get home.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Thanks for the tip. I will look into that thread and see what can be added to the rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Regardless of whether it is on or not, the hand-off between AP appears to be the same. I will monitor it with it on and off and report back after a few days.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nesiop:
Am I going crazy, I can't find the update PRL/Profile. Could of sworn this is a TW rom and not CM, no?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Which version did you download, I had to re-upload 1.4.1 about a week ago. If you have an older download then that's why you can't see those options. That was my fault. You can re-download and try a dirty flash.

Edit: Just a tip, reading a few pages back would have given you the answer;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Well, reporting back... After a couple of days with it on, and another with it off. I don't really see it making any difference for me.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Randy3011:
Maybe I am doing something wrong???

I read all the way through the thread. I am on AICP 9.0 AOSP rom. With TWRP 2.87.0 I wiped system, data, davlik, cache 3x as suggested. Installed zip from micro-sd card. Reboot, gets to Samsung logo. Warranty bit for kernel, reboots into recovery.

Any ideas?? :confused::crying:

Update: Wiped AICP, restored OD3 nandroid backup and rebooted. Wiped system, davlik, internal storage, data. Installed zip file. No warranty bits shown, coming up as I type. Waiting...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I recommend you Odin the OA6 TAR ball... (Or the OD3, but you can never revert is you do). Odin the recovery, then reflash the ROM.

Keep in mind flashing the OA6 and OD3 in Odin will wipe you internal SD card.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Randy3011:
Okie Dokie

Here's it comes!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks.

LTE is not responding, even when on. No updates to my installed apps. So sorry for having to to go back to AICP. I need a working setup.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
I ran into a issue that caused me so much pain, I would install Any rom and I would show my last installed kernel in about, aosp, TouchWiz, MIUI it didn't care. I would install metal, still the kt kernel would show, went full od3 stock... Still kt kernel, then cyanogen and guess what? Kt kernel. I manually flashed the stock kernel and 90% of my problems went away...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I only use the stock kernel. I never had much luck with custom ones. I use to tinker with them years ago but now stock seems fine to me.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Will this flash ok on OF6?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I have tested it up to OD3 (which I am currently running). But considering OF6 is a minor update (just like OD3 was) it should probably be fine.

I have read that some of the other stock based ROM's running OA6, work with the OF6 update. Let us know if you find out!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
I guess I'll let ya know lol..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
If it bumps up to 5.0.2 it cures alot of memory leak issues, so it's a biggie in my book
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
It flashed fine, but im unable to dl anything from the playstore or install any apps from my files.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
I am assuming you are having the "could not be downloaded due to an error. (927)" or something similar. Did you have that issue on the OA6 firmware? If so, try this:

Force Close Google Play Store App

Uninstall updates

Clear Data and Cache

Repeat for Google Services Framework App

Remove your Google account

Reboot your phone

Suppose to fix this issue.

I had this issue when I first installed this ROM, when the above didn't work for me I had to reset the device to stock (using ODIN), then reinstall the ROM. Try using the play store before you restore any apps.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
No, it just wouldn't download. The line just kept going but it didn't even start. I couldn't restore any apps due to not being able to DL tb lol. Ill try reseting, thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Did you try updating PRL and Profile?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Yes and neither worked
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] emblazin:
Is MetalROM going to be updated/merged with the StageFright patch Sprint released for the S5?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Yes, when I have time. School, work and family have me stretched thin, lol.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JoeyDuran:
td posted stagefright fix, might want check it out to add to yours
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
We wanna ultimately give him time to up the rom to 5.0.2 then add stagefright
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] 's stagefright zip works for this rom, I flashed it last night. Make sure you send a thanks his way.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] emblazin:
Would you mind posting the ZIP here? I couldn't find it after searching through the Sprint S5 forum. Thanks metalfan!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Comet1966:
Alright I flashed the latest rom with the barebones cleaner and did the extreme cleaning. Only 3G works nd only if I set it to CDMA. LTE/CDMA gives no data as well as Automatic. I think the barebones cleaner deleted the hidden menus too lol because the codes don't do anything. I was thinking I just needed to tinker with the APN's but they are greyed out in settings < more networks < mobile networks < Access Point Names. Also *

(I don't know If this is supposed to be greyed out) network operators are greyed out. I am running for OF6 and came from CM12.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
You should dirty flash the rom to get everything back, I have never used the barebones cleaner so it very well may have deleted stuff that our Sprint phones need.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I've got a debloated version ready to go, I got it down to 1 gb so far. Has ListView animations and a memory leak fix included (thanks to [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] respectively). I'll keep debloating, but if anyone wants it I will upload it later tonight.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Me too lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I can upload it tonight, I haven't had time to flash it though, there is a lot taken out so I don't know what works or what doesn't
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
Il test it bro. And see whats good with it. Its no problem :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShortRound51:
Can you provide a list of what all was removed...?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
It's a big list, but I put everything into a bloat zip that I will post as well.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Uploading both now, the bloat zip is almost the same size as the rom, lol. It's pretty stripped down, kind of like the xtresolite rom for the international versions.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
So here is the rom and the bloat zip, if anyone wants to test it and let me know how it works. I wish i could test it myself, but definitely make a nandroid because I have no idea what works. I took out everything available in the playstore, and I took out a whole bunch of samsung stuff. Basic phone functions should work though.

-BareMetal v1.0

Hey will this still work with your new rom upload? Just wondering
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Good question, that's an old zip that I should delete, 3minit is already integrated.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Samsung keyboard fc's right away. You can get through setup, but hangs on entering your name for a bit then really nothing you can do. I tried clearing data/cache for the keyboard and rebooting, but to no avail.

So, I had taken out the Samsung keyboard stuff and forgot to replace it, my bad. Reuploading now
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:

I never added it because I never use it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Downloading now....
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Data isn't working, I was on WiFi the last time so I'm not sure if it worked b4. I tried switching data and airplane mode on n off and updating the prl and profile. Again nothing. Tried rebooting as well and flashed twice, both clean.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
Not sure if you are still having this issue or not? I was seeing the same thing, where I couldn't download anything from the Play Store and also couldn't install any apps from my sdcard (would just sit there spinning and never do anything)...

I ended up installing ktoonsez's kernel and it fixed the problem... Just as an FYI. :)

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Also, for anyone trying to flash this on a newer modem/bootloader than OA6 -- You will want to flash ktoonsez's kernel. If you leave the default kernel as-is, it will not boot. If you flash the stock kernel for you bb version, it will boot but you will have problems. The only thing I've found that works is to flash KT's kernel... Just so you know.

BTW, this is referring to 1.4.1 (not the newest de-bloated version that is being tested)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
That contact fc has to due with syncing Facebook on lollipop complete stock or rooted on the s5. I don't have any contacts force close and I dont use facebook, my sister on the other hand has an s5 unrooted and gets 2-3 force closes on contacts. I un-synced her facebook and she hasn't experienced it since

I actually have to reflash this ROM.I am messing with that edge launcher,trying to remove app labels and put my phone in a bootloop..and knowing better,I had no backup.lol..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Oops. I had a back up a couple months ago thats wouldn't restore, frustrating. I want thinking about messing about with app labels too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
I can change their color,but cant get rid of em yet..i hate app labels on the home screen.lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Maybe we can figure it out, that would be a nice option.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] scottegos2:
Wow, thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for. Personally I'm using Nova Launcher FWIW, but anyway I'm happy with the rest (esp. the wifi hotspot and SD fix integration).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
Does this have 3minit Battery Mod?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
No 3minit, the rom has the battery icon removed, but there is a file to flash to bring it back a couple pages back
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Would any users like the 3minit battery mod included?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Or how about no labels
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mholloway:
I myself wouldn't mind the 3minit battery mod.I actually had to jump back to moar and try the inverted theme.I like the black background in the settings.I will be back to this ROM soon though,it runs smooth with no problems.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Maybe I'll add 3minit next version
