[LG G Watch] jfriend33:
I guess. I wouldn't pay that much this late in the game tho. I got mine for $6 PLUS a $50 Google play egift card in November.

I really like the 5.1.1 update but I'm a tiny bit disappointed we don't have wifi.

I just want my theater mode to vibrate like it used to.

I mean I guess if you get a lot of texts or notifications during the busy part of your day, then sure. But I'd say save your money and get something newer.
[LG G Watch] billfold:
I just got in on the $50 ATT deal. To me it's worth it. This is my first smart watch, and it does everything I need it to do. I have a TomTom Runner to cover all of my running needs, and I use the LG G Watch for everyday wear. I got both watches, brand new, cheaper than my wife's FitBit Charge, which she loves. Make sure you do your research and figure out what you want out of a watch. You're going to get a mixed bag of opinions. Just get what fits your needs.
[LG G Watch] Le_Zouave:
found mine for 60€ (in a stairwell I could only pair it to my phone to make sure it worked).

It's cheaper than a Toy Watch.

update 5.1.1 fixed many issues about screen freezing in 5.0.2 so now it's perfectly usable.

finding a good wristband can be complicated as it's a standard size, there is soooooo many choice (right now hadley roma)
[LG G Watch] melcali:
$50 guys. Of course it's worth it. G watch for around $50 or some crappy Disney watch from walmart.
[LG G Watch] player911:
I just jumped on the G Watch bandwagon because I found it refurbished for $45. It was cheaper then some of the chinese models and has Google Play and well supported.

I have been looking at reviews and it seems the G Watch is great for a starter watch. The Samsung Models use a Tizen OS and require a Samsung phone.

Things that I wish the G Watch had:

AMOLED display. Makes sense on a smart watch. The Solid blacks would also look better.

Speaker. This is actually kind of a bummer because if I am in the pool/lake, I can reply/dismiss notifications, but won't be able to take a call.

For me, this was reasoning is to help handle notifications. It is a starter watch that is cheap but good. I don't normally wear a watch, so it will probably end up in a drawer but if I end up really using the device, then I will spend the money to upgrade to one that has everything I need. It is just silly to spend $300 for a high end device if it won't be used.

In a perfect world, I want the Samsung Galaxy Gear S to have an Android Wear model so I can use it on my LG G4. That would be the ideal watch.
[LG G Watch] Traxex_:
Get it!

I love my G Watch even more than my Moto 360 because of the superb battery lifetime and the smoothness.
[LG G Watch] chaco81:
my wife told me wednesday "wish i had a fancy watch like urs" (she bought me my 360 for my bday)

shes mostly tracking her sleep and steps with a Jawbone UP band...

so i got her a white G watch for $55 refurbished online... waiting for it to come in the mail... but i think for the price i ts a no brainer specially since a non geek person will be using it...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] carlos_polanco:
I've been using this for a few days. About 2 FC at the beginning but then No issues found.

Battery life and LTE signal are working great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sharpeyedman:
Can i flash this on g900w8 ? I hope to have tmobile rom on my s5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Specifically what force closed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I'm not entirely sure, but it probably doesn't hurt to try right? You can always backup and restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Using it on my w8. Make sure you use an updated bootloader. This is the smoothest experience I've ever had on an s5. This is the lightest rom ever. Startup is 5 seconds. Thanks!! WiFi hotspot doesn't work on the previous version without camera and gallery. Haven't tried it yet here but will update soon.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

No hotspot.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Fresh install. Some component required for connectivity curing hotspot mode has been removed. Same issue in previous rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sharpeyedman:
Is there any kitkat or lollipop based T-mobile ROM that work with G900W8?

I hope to have two things working 1. WiFi calling and 2. WiFi tethering restriction removed.

I don't seek anything much other than these two. I prefer stability the most.

Could you recommend me any ROMs that could offer these two features? Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 420haxr:
This is the smoothest ROM on TW. The boot up time is insane!! The only thing I wish this ROM had was the fingerprint scanner working and private mode ? other than that its perfect !!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Would love a fix for WiFi hotspot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Just confirmed vpn doesn't work. Maybe it's removed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] carlitos287:
[REQUEST]

I request the following as add-ons:

1) unrestricted/tethering provision check disabled

2) Loud Volume Booster

3) Google Apps Flash-able Zip

4) 5-way Menu

6) extra flashlight/HotSpot toggle Flash-able Zip

7) Automatic or manual Call recording in the call APK

8) Fast Charge eanbled

9) VoLTE enabled on Modem/Ready to go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ebamit:
Waited a long time for a completely debloated LP ROM to appear for the S5. Looking forward to the updates. Great job!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Huh. Isn't private mode working? I don't think I made any changes that would break Private Mode, but I'll check this anyways. Fingerprint Scanner was removed intentionally. I believe that the current XtreSoLite Lollipop addon package, which includes the Fingerprint Scanner (and possibly also Private Mode), will work seamlessly with this ROM, but I'll make sure that that's the case.

That is correct, VPN services are all currently removed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
1) I'll see if I can do it. I probably won't be able to test it though, because I have a limited data plan.

2) Install Viper4Audio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223)

3 & 5) ???

4 & 6) Would be nice also, but since the ROM is completely odexed, and I don't want to de-odex it, I would have to edit and insert hex into the SystemUI to get the flashlight working, and while editing is totally in my reach, fake text insertion is questionable. It could prove to be unnecessarily hard.

7) I'm looking into this currently.

8) This depends on the kernel. The current ROM offers only the Stock kernel. If you would like fast charging, install Ktoonsez's kernel for Lollipop TW.

9) It's enabled by default as far as I can tell (during a call -> settings -> scroll down and it will say that VoLTE is selected by default).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Thanks! This is a stunning rom. If there's a way to add back vpn and figure out why hotspot doesn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Thanks for version 2!! So happy. Can't wait to try it. Can someone confirm if hotspot works for them?? When I dirty flashed the full stock rooted room from the other thread it still didn't work. Very odd. Looking forward to version 2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Huh. Interesting, thanks for the input. I haven't made any changes that would make hotspot work yet, probably. I'll update this post once I figure out what went wrong. In the mean time, can you check whether or not hotspot works from a clean install of the full stock rooted ROM? It will at least tell me whether my whole version has hotspot broken or I accidentally removed some essential part of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Sure I'll try it and let you know. Thanks for getting back to me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Use the latest modem and test it again. I found that it worked for me without any new changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] texasaggie1:
Hi. Thank you for this ROM! Is there any way to add back the VPN files? All the firewalls being actively developed use VPN. I'm an IT guy so I hate not having a firewall on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
I'll try to update the modem if I can find it. I'm on the lollipop modem for the w8. Maybe that's the reason.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Oddly I did not have issues with other tmobile builds. Hopefully this weekend I'll sort it out and try clean install of your base to see what's going on. I can connect to WiFi hotspot with my other devices but they don't have Internet. They are assigned an ip.

[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION]

Can these updates (versions) be dirty flashed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
[MENTION=227408]texasaggie1[/MENTION] Use the Addon package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2732110. It contains the VPN files which I would assume works right now, and I've tested the Fingerprint support as well and it's working well.

[MENTION=2369094]doodio[/MENTION] I've tested the Mobile Hotspot for my laptop and I was able to access google and facebook and other websites. I didn't do any complete test, but so far as I can tell, I'm able to use it.

[MENTION=396343]Mordred[/MENTION] Yes, there have only been minor changes between versions and they should work just fine during dirty flashes. Cache should be wiped though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] LancerEvoDrifter:
can anyone give me opinion on performance? is it buggy with lollipop (no offense to OP) im not sure if I have to update to lollipop to use this debloated since im on stock NK2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
Coming from stock DB01 T-Mobile unrooted ROM, what are the steps? Can I just install TWRP recovery (through ODIN) and then flash this ROM & Su? Or do I need to downgrade to KitKat or older firmware, root, recovery then follow steps in OP? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] doodio:
Are you kidding me? Kit Kat is terrible. It's all lag. Move into the future dude. ART is a huge improvement. This rom is perfect. Add in what you need with the aroma installer thing.

---------- Post added at 06:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

And update your bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
Can't write to internal SD

[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] the stable build doing a dirty flash broke my read/write ability to internal sd card. SD fix from play store does not help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
Anyone can provide this info, please? Can't believe no one known or cares enough to respond. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
OP lays it all out in the first post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pottyvick:
If you're on Lollipop then its just a matter of having TWRP or CWM recovery then following his steps in the OP...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Hmmm, that's pretty interesting, I don't believe that I've made any changes that would break read/write ability. When you try to write to the internal SD card, does the app you're using asking for permissions? It should end up opening some external application that asks you to select a device and you should be able to see in the 3-dot menu that you can show the external SD card. If the app isn't asking for permissions, it's likely that the developer just didn't update for the security in tw lollipop. If it is, then perhaps dirty flashing doesn't work too well just yet.

[MENTION=671565]coolmen777[/MENTION] sorry about that, I haven't been on XDA for a few days. As the others say, just follow the steps in the OP after you have a recovery. I don't believe that you need TWRP, but I've only tested installing it through TWRP. Yes, you can flash TWRP through ODIN and then follow the steps in OP. If you're already on stock DOB1, then it means that your firmware is already updated. The DevDB project details that you need DOB1 firmware in order to be able to install it, which you're on, so no, do not downgrade. If you do, you'll have to additionally install KTweaker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] - I believe something corrupted the boot partition of internal SD. I can't find a terminal command that will chkdsk nor can I actually "see" it when I do a mount command in terminal. ES and SD Maid can see it but not much I can do from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
Thanks for the clear response. Surprised there is not much activity on this thread/ROM. This is exactly what my friend was looking for (and has WiFi calling with Galaxy camera). Is it safe to assume that other apps, like messaging, can be added on by flashing a zip if necessary? Don't care about most of TouchWiz bloat, but few things are nice to have. Thanks again for your help and work on the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
hmm are you sure nothing else went wrong? I just dirty flashed as well, and mine's working just fine. If the 'boot' partition is corrupted, I don't think you'll even be able to boot up, since the boot partition is the kernel.

Messaging is already included but yes, (almost) all apps included in the Stock ROM can be added on with the addon package provided by edgarf (link added in first post, thought I added it before, but I must have forgotten to save).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
This is the error I get now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
I have flashed this with success, thanks for the ROM and support. I did look at the first link you mentioned, and see a huge 900MB flashable file to add to ROM to customize the Samsung apps. I was hoping to just flash or sideload a Samsung music player which my friend is crazy about. Saw few threads with apks (SamsungMusic_2.0.apk) but no luck installing (Applicantion can't be installed). I know this is not ROM related, but was hoping OP or anyone in the same situation can provide some insight on how to go about this. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Are you sure the internal sd card is supposed to be formatted as msdos? I recall it being ext4 by default. I'm still not quite sure what's wrong with it.

See if you can modify files using TWRP's file manager. If it is, then the error may not actually be that your sd card is corrupted but that some software got corrupted somehow. If that doesn't work, if you have an external sd card, I recommend backing up your data to your external sd card, and format data, reinstall, and seeing if you can reproduce the error.

[MENTION=1266431]coolmen[/MENTION]77 given that the size of the Stock ROM is a bit over 1.4GB, I think 900MB is a valid size of the add-ons, since different people want different things. You can't install many of the system apps by just clicking on them. You can always also delete the zip after you're done installing the apps you specify if you think it takes up too much space.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] - I have it back and running now. No idea what caused the corruption, but a series of formats, wipes and two flashes have it going with no issues.

Thank you VERY much for this ROM as it is perfect in every way - stock with a little extra and no fluff. This has got to be the fastest TW ROM I have ever used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
Thanks for the explanation. So can I just throw it in the recovery and try to flash that zip, which will launch like an Aroma interface that will let me pick ad-ons? Do I need to reflash all over again? Sorry, just don't want to mess it up.

Also, looks like my T-Mobile boot up animation stayed (didn't wipe system, just data, cache & dalvik). Is that the way it is supposed to be? Can this be flashed on ATT variant as well (G900A). Thanks for guidance and your time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Yep, it's an Aroma add-on package. You do not need to reflash all over again. You can apply the add-on package whenever you want and I'm pretty sure you don't even need to wipe cache & dalvik for it.

I didn't change the default boot up animation, so the default is intended. Without a custom kernel, I don't think you'll be able to install it on the ATT variant, but it could possibly work. With an ATT lollipop kernel, you might be able to install it on the ATT variant, but no guarantees.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
TouchWiz stopped error

Anyone gets TouchWiz home force close errors similar to this screenshot? Not just with Google Maps app and very random. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
Never had that happen. Rock steady for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
Any ideas worth trying?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] carlos_polanco:
Hello everybody, I've been using this lite customROM for a week. I've experience some boot issues when I have to pull the battery out. This happened only twice.

No FC no big issues. Since we don't have TalkBack, some gestures on Nova launcher don't work.

I had issues with the non readable external SD card. This can be fix with the app: "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD"

Battery life is great and everything works fine. I recommend this ROM to any body that want a really slim rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
If you mean to try the ROM, most definitely. Do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] coolmen777:
I was asking for ideas to try and fix this FC error. I am already on this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] OK, I spoke too soon. Last night while restarting the phone I got a "the process system is not responding" error. Tapping wait or OK both had the same effect - the phone rebooted and went to a black screen (after the splash screen) and displayed the same error.

I went to do a restore from a backup I made hours earlier and it boots just fine. The problem is that now I have the same issue I had a week ago where the internal SD is no longer writable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
Hmm, I have no idea what went wrong there. Can you give me steps to reproduce the errors? I have an external SD card and also of course, use my internal SD card, and I have yet to run into an issue where the device failed to write to the SD card. Touchwiz launcher also works fine and I haven't run into any force closes. I'll see if I can find a way to directly extract the data from the Odin tar instead of installing through Odin and then pulling from my current device, perhaps something went wrong (though if it did, it will likely not even have booted up).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
I honestly think it is one of two things.

1-TWRP recovery is somehow corrupting something in the internal memory (seems to happen shortly after I do a backup).

2-I have a lemon and need to send it in for warranty.

There is no rhyme nor reason why or when it happens. The longest I have had the phone 100% error free is a week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stangdriver44:
I would recommend doing a full Odin back to stock and see how she runs! Then if all is well root, get recovery and go custom rom. That way you will have a clean start and help narrow down the issue as well. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zhangsta:
Can we install the latest Xposed framework on this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=364033]stangdriver44[/MENTION] Thanks for that. I am on the road currently but will definitely do the above once I am back with a windows machine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I believe so, since Xposed doesn't make any assumptions about the odex state of the apps of the ROM. I haven't tested it, but it should work flawlessly.

It's probably the first one, since it's unlikely to be the second. Which version of TWRP are you using? I'm currently using twrp 2.8.6.0 from https://dl.twrp.me/klte/, installed using Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
I believe I am running 2.7.0 I am hesitant to reboot into recovery anymore. I will wait until I with a windows machine and flash the one you suggest.

Can this be flashed using flashify?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mark28:
Anyone having problems with the Dcm provider constantly crashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] malbert16442:
The answer is no

Xposed requires an deodex rom for samsung my rom runs perfect for your needs no hate not trying to steal but telling facts.

"Every ARMv7(32-bit) Samsung Lollipop Android 5.0 deodex'ed firmware should work.

But please note that I have tested this only on Galaxy S4, Note 3 and S5.

64-bit devices or Android 5.1 is not supported."

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] Anyway to get unlimited tethering added to this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I'm not entirely sure if it can be flashed using flashify, but if you were able to flash your previous one with flashify, then you should be able to flash this one as well.

Can you tell me what steps to take to reproduce the error?

Ah, you're right. I haven't used Xposed in a while, but I remember it being able to run on one of my older odexed phones, probably because the odex files would be regenerated for changes. I guess that's not quite the case with the newer phones.

I am not really sure. Even if I did manage, I don't think I can test it, because I have a limited data plan. It requires a modification of the internal dex files of tetheringprovision, and since the ROM is odexed and there are no convenient tools for modifying external dex files (apktool only recompiles correctly on deodexed apks), I don't think there is a way to get ulimited tethering added to this ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Mordred:
[MENTION=4493779]rmanne[/MENTION] - thanks.

What do you think about this? I recently ran into difficulty wherein my emulated/0 partition was borked after using TWRP recovery. In an effort to fix it I reformatted a partition (no idea which one I just followed some terminal commands from someone with a similar issue) and now the phone displays a brief message about being in factory mode (comes on for two-three seconds then disappears) and shuts off WiFi. Once I enable it the phone is fine.

I have looked at the various fixes for this but when I went into the efs / factory mode folder the two files mentioned in all the fixes are not there. I created them and gave them owner information, but this does not help.

Any thoughts? Would a flash back to stock solve this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SoopahMan:
So, I installed this ROM - thanks for putting this together. It got rid of the irritating S-Finder etc in the notifications bar, which is a relief.

I'm looking for a ROM that does the following:

* Is mostly your standard T-Mobile Android 5 ROM, but

* Has no nag about increasing volume past 10 when headphones in [Fail]

* Has no nag about Airplane mode On/Off [Fail]

* Has no S-Finder etc in the Notifications [Good]

* Debloated but... [Good]

* Still has the Steps counter/Heartbeat monitor [Fail]

* Still has Tethering [Good]

It appears this ROM so far isn't it. Is there some way to get there? Is there a ROM I should look at instead?

One suggestion I found was to install Xposed, but Xposed doesn't work with Samsung TouchWiz stock ROMs yet - it'll softbrick your phone.
