Well, it's unconventional, but I was able to get this ROM working by doing some kinda shady maneuvers.

I put the NCG full stock back in via Odin and rooted it again. I then used Flashfire and installed the full "VZW_BOC4_STOCK_5_13_15.zip" from the first page here.

It almost worked, but it would hang on the Samsung/CUSTOM boot screen. I then installed VZW_BOC4_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 and VZW_BOC4_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 (in that order) via Odin, rebooted and the ROM took off. At that point, it acted like an OTA update; it 'updated' my stock 4.4 to 5.0 (spending 25 minutes or so 'optimizing' it). I then factory reset and verified I still have root, which I do, so I think I'm finally there.

Thought maybe this backwards procedure might be helpful if anyone else is having trouble with Safestrap.

Trying to figure out dark theme

I have been having such a hard time figuring out how to get the theme installed. I used the manager app to select apks that I extracted Dark_It_Up_Lollipop_V6_NO_UI.zip. Is this the correct way? Is there a way just to flash Dark_It_Up_Lollipop_V6_NO_UI.zip? Also I am having white text problems with the phone settings(such as battery use) and the mms application when the dark theme is applied. Any help would be appreciated. Ill try to continue to read but so far I only added aosp-v5.apk black -v3.apk, blackwhite.apk, secime-dark-synergy, and settings-D-DeepOrange.apk.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trud9340:
I installed flash fire but it was a bit intimidating to me. I need to partition my SD card for that,right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
I didn't partition anything on my phone. I keep all my zips and pictures and backups on my external sd card, and leave the internal storage alone. FlashFire comes with some pretty good instructions with in the app. Just be sure to do a backup first, and move that backup to the external sd card so you don't accidentally wipe your data from your internal storage when you go to flashing Roms. It's really easy when you figure it all out :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trud9340:
Cool,just tried and worked great,thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Use FlashFire to flash your zips. Then you can remove or add what theme layers you want.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Is there any way of themimg the status bar icons other than decompiling the system ui ? A layer theme perhaps.

All of a sudden my text messages are force closing and my app updates from the store are not sticking.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
The app updates not sticking issue has been reported before. Only known solution is to Wipe/Reflash....specific cause unknown but typically related to a bad modification.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
I only flashed the Rom and then the dark theme. No other mods. That's frustrating. I really like the work these devs are doing, but just about ready to go back to 4.4.

WOW ive been using the 5 13 15 version with absolutely no problems since the day it was released. All the sudden today i went to restart my phone and its doing the system ui error and bootlooping, didnt install or uninstall anything in the last couple days, didnt debloat it anymore than it came naturally, did a full wipe before installing including internal SD. i have no idea what happened but it sucks.

EDIT- I did do something yesterday actually. I downloaded and applied new adaway scripts, I bet thats what cause the UI issue. a battery pull solved the problem. Thanks stupifier
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Did you try a Battery Pull.... Usually fixes the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
i did and it didnt work at first but just as you said to try it, it did lol. Thank you. I tried flashing the nk2 kernel to get into SS and wipe cache and SS was gone too. I use flashfire for zips but I havent done any wipes or rom installs with it so thats really weird.

any plans on cooking xposed into the next release?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Anyone brave enough to try this Xposed for TW. I modded the framework jars. If anyone wants to try I suggest using safestrap so if it bootloops you can install a back up. It replaces framework jars so it may take 10 to 15 min to boot. Original Thread Here

Is there a way of removing the dark theme with out reflashing the rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ChrisLenga:
Hmm, I get to the step where I'm flashing NI2 and when I reboot, it hangs on the Galaxy S5 screen for a few minutes then resets and goes into recovery. I have no experience with Safestrap, but I reckon its not working correctly. I've followed the instructions up to this point without much of a problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] THA-REAPER:
You have to flash the OC4 kernel back to get it to boot. Only use NI2 when you want to get into safe strap. You reboot back into download mode flash OC4 kernel with Odin and once Odin reboots your phone here's where you wait a few minutes for the phone to boot the new rom for the first time.

Think of it this way

Use NI2 kernel only to get into safe strap to make changes.

Use the kernel that applies to your rom to boot the rom itself. In your case OC4.

Hi all, I just purchased a retail Verison S5 and about to pull the trigger on this rom. I have read all the pages and only have one question. In step 2 (OP), is this a full rom? it's only 80meg. Don't we need a full rom in order to upgrade modem, radio to OC4 LPop? Currently I'm on stock rooted NK2. Thanks

Edit: Maybe I'm thinking this 80meg is just the OC4 kernel, modem and radio??

ODIN Question

Hello,

Sorry for the dumb question but which box do I use in Odin to flash this? I thought it was the "AP" box but I wanted to make sure.

Thank you in advance,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
yes, AP box.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Uhh........Careful though. DO NOT FLASH ROMs like this in ODIN! That is a no no. Just want to be clear. Flash this ROM in SafeStrap or FlashFire. Flash Kernels and Firmware stuff in Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
He can't flash the ROM in Odin because it's a zip file. Odin only can flash md5/tar file.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ammend:
I used Odin and flashed the BOC4 retail firmware and now Odin doesn't recognize the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated as of now I have a $700 paperweight and my wife is going to kill me.

Where did you get the BOC4 retail firmware from? Did you flash using the AP slot in ODIN? Give more details.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ammend:
[/COLOR]

I got it from the first page of this thread. Odin 3.07 doesn't have an AP slot, what I did use was the PDA slot. I was coming from Alliance rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Shouldn't use an Out-Dated Odin version. Look below for everything you need including Odin 3.09 which has an AP slot for flashing. I've Only EVER used the latest Odin version which has the AP slot for flashing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

If you can't get Odin to recognize your Phone anymore, you are kinda SOL. Only way I know how to solve your issue to completely start over again (Factory Reset).....using Vol Up, Power, Home Key while your phone is off to get into stock recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ammend:
Thanks. I'll try the newer version of Odin. I've tried the factory reset with that method and it didn't work.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ursader:
Sorry for the noob question, but has the Home Screen Settings option been moved, or completely removed even? (Long-press home screen, used to be down by Widgets) Believe this was where you could change the shape and transparency options for app folders. Looks like maybe it was replaced by the Grid option..? Perhaps I just keep overlooking it somehow :)

If it has been removed, is there another app someone could recommend without changing the launcher? Or should I just look into finding a theme to accomplish my goals?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kazuma5401:
wel i guess i screwed something up. downloaded everything and got ready to flash. into odin and flashed back to get into safe strap. rebooted into safestrap and wiped data bla bla. backed up to flash your file and for some reason my sd card is now unreadable. un recognised, unformated. im assuming its toast. figured id go back and flash oa8 and try to reformat the sd from inside android. went back to odin. flashed oa8....... samsung splash screen is stuck.... reboot with power, volume down, home... nothing... battery pull then go back to odin is possible but no matter what i flash im stuck at samsung galaxy s5 custom powered by android screen. no safestrap. oa8 wont work because of the wipe.

i dont want to unroot but... i think i just need a rooted rom i can flash through odin right?

any help is greatly appriciated
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
There are no rooted roms that can be flashed with odin. You most likely lost root and safestrap because you formatted storage with safestrap So go here and download a full tar package I would use NCG because you need that kernel to root phone. And then you just go through the process that you originally had to do to root the phone

During that "10 minutes" is it just supposed to show the "Samsung GALAXY S5 Custom powered by android" screen in black and white, then black it out, then show the screen, back and forth and back and forth?

it looks like its just cycling endlessly to me, thought i installed everything correctly.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

During the flash of the rom, the bar sat about 1/8 of the way for a very long time while it said "@Installing System, please wait..."

then it just jumped forward, i rebooted into download, pushed the retail kernel back in and it did the boot cycle...

Trying it again, was coming off of a custom Symbiote rom... - does that have anything to do with it?
