Viper replacement suggestion?

does anyone have a suggestion to replace viper since it does not work on LP yet? Would the pay version of Rocket Player or PowerAmp help at all? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
What seems to be the issues yall are having?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
Hey we have to use some vz international patch file to keep the phone from going into a boot loop. We also have issue with root. We have to set it fr prompt to grant. Otherwise we will not have root.

I have not try ed to install v5. But I will when I get home. Will I be able to flash right over v4? Or should I downgrade to nce and start over?

I sometimes on v4. The phone will freeze lock up and it will reboot. I get it once a while.

I hope I didn't miss anything but that's the only issues I have. And thank you for this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I thought i would reiterate the first issue mentioned, the verizon international patch is not actually necessary, i didnt try it specifically on v4, but i'd assume its the same as here on v5, you need to disable wifi and the bootloops stop and the rom works fine, no patch required, afterwards you can enable wifi, but just remember to turn it off before you turn off/reboot your phone. Also, yes you can dirty flash v5 over v4, just make sure to flash the kernel back too.

I'm going to get a logcat of it happening, but due to the total breakage ive noticed (keyboard doesnt open, apps barely work), i think its more than a wpa_supplicant issue as i stated earlier but i think it might be a kernel panic or similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
First of all I just got to say that this the best rom I have ever used......the issue is on art the only way we have to flash is a nce apk or flashfire....if we flash the rom it goes into a bootloop....so i found this patch in the verizon thread and that stoped the bootloop...the v5 version boots up just fine until your first reboot then it also goes into bootloop..thus the patch fixes this also........the root issue there is no prompts or root unless u change your setting to just grant......so any insight would be greatly appreciated.......

there is something in that patch that fixes this.......i can be in a boot loop but have just enough time to to hit the nce apk and restart manually and it takes me back to ss and if i just install the patch the bootloop stops.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
The patch worked for me also. The problem I head was periodically I would loose data connection. I wouldn't be able to get on the net or anything, but I could still make and receive calls and text. I could either reboot to fix it or swap between 2 different APNs. I don't believe that is a rom issue as much as maybe a bad install since I seem to be the only one that experienced that. I swapped back to ATT today though for something more stable for now. I love the rom though. Super fast. Good work. Wish you had an ATT gs5. Ha

V5 Twisted install

Just my recent experience:

Attempted repeatedly to install Ver 5 via both NCE and Flahsfire methods either hungup on the samsung first boot screen or got error "Software detected not AT&T on device go to store immediately" upon boot. Checked MD5 on download, re-downloaded, same result. Finally did another Flashfire install, got "Software detected..." message and tried reflashing md.tar boot image file in odin and boom got a boot into V5, Dont know why previous installs did not work have a feeling the boot image file was not sticking. Tried both the zip recovery boot image file and the .tar file in Odin.

So far rom is functioning flawless no boots no lock ups phone functioning fine.

Wiped, installed V5 zip, wiped, installed stock kernel by zip recovery or Tar file, install patch zip file, reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
what about root? have you rebooted yet? mine works great until first reboot then bootloop.....thats without patch also though....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Sounds like you messed up flashing the kernel some how, you get that message when you flash an incompatible kernel or really anything else like a bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] doby-nut:
did maintain root, I did set it to "grant" .:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
i had that happen alot when it goes to that screen with yellow triangle you can still go into download mode and flash kernal via odin and it works......instead of starting over....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] doby-nut:
I'll have to remember that...was really ready to give up, when I thought gee no harm in trying to flash kernel via odin again. Did baffle me since it was the same kernel install file. Glad it finally worked. Thanks for sharing thoughts and always there for advice.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
so here is my question:::::after flashing the rom and after your first reboot which throws you into a bootloop you go into stock recovery and do a factory reset it fixes the bootloop until you reboot again......so what is in the extra data that is causing this on our phones?????? by the way this is without the patch also.............iif u dont want to mess with it the patch does take care of the bootloop prob.....i quess the good news is at least factory reset is beter than starting all over...........

im gonna need someone smarter than me on this one........so after trying all kinda of things it comes down to this........if i take my sim out it stops the boot loop.......so after that i put my sim back in and boots up fine then i reboot back to bootloop...........so is this a radio prob? a sim prob? or just a problem????????????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Factory reset makes it boot with wifi turned off, i believe its a kernel panic caused by an incompatibility between out kernel and the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
CANNOT GET OFF THE GROUND WITH FF

so now i do not know what to think. I do know how to get to stock 5.0 thru muniz_ri's original procedure since i have done it before and then went back to NG3/XDK, but this time i decided to try his new method with the G900A_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM_wOA1_BL.zip and FF. WELL, i know i did it right because there ain't many steps and when it started to flash i got the system list display and it went dark for a very short time and when it rebooted, it was a mess. first thing when it rebooted it was showing XDK boot animation and when it came up, well it had the original weather widget and my XDK wallpaper and not much else. went into About Device and it was not OC4. so i just went back into SS and restored my backup and still on NG3/XDK and fine. SO like i said, i do know how to go to stock OC4, but then how can i trust FF to do the Twi5ted procedure. i could do it all in SS and i have researched this and read everything. get on 5.0, install NCE Flasher, go to SS, flash Twi5ed zip and patch and Odin OC4 kernel tar and see i suppose. Is it all worth it? is 5 really any faster in reality than NG3/XDK?

What you think Rakuu??? Talkingmonkeys is on a delay for his rom now. sorry for being a pain. Thanks.

any way we could get a better explanation on how to do things to get to twisted? im not familiar with nce flasher and dont know if we have to come from the stock 5.0 rom or can come from kk also maybe provide links to the tools we need

post to NCE Flasher is http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60224956&postcount=1

i installed and ran it on XDK just to try it and held my breath and it did actually go to SS, did not hurt anything. have not tried it on LP yet, still trying to decide if i want to try Twi5ted, and i do. i do know how to get to stock 5.0 the old method using SS, but i tried the new way with FF and WOW, Weird, no worky for me....LOL. but getting back to NCE Flasher, its just a way to get to SS on LP, it must work, i will find out any day. itching for a decent LP rom, although who knows if its really worth it over NG3/XDK. OUR PHONES AND ATT....SPIT....LOL

Twi5ted thread for our phone at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60256876&postcount=1 . some say good, some say bad, hard to tell till u try. did this help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
If it had parts from XDK then you missed flashing the system tar. My rom should be able to be flashed in FF just with the partitions and all will work well. I suggest the SS method for flashing roms and I will be posting instructions later. I have the bug in the systemui that has been preventing AllianceROM 8.0 and TMS5's releases fixed thanks to Goldie. A simple change to the build.prop cleared that up.

I'm wondering if flashing the OC4 partitions is possible in SafeStrap to simplify some steps for people. Anyway I'll get it all figured out over the next 2 days and wrap up my release and get these releases out. :good:

5 is definitely faster and seems to be better to me so far. I'm missing some things from kit kat still so I'm not completely sure about the battery life on my new build compared to other 5 roms I've run the last few weeks. Having layers manager to theme a few things temporarily will save me from themeing it as quickly too. I can't wait until you all can try out these roms so I'm rushing to get them done as I can today. It may be tomorrow or the next day until they're out though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iamthedj:
awesome once again you save the day lol ill wait for your release brotha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
really was inquiring about the new way to get to stock 5.0 using FF. there is only one file, the zip. he does not say anything about the kernel tar, which i do not understand either, but then again, WHAT DO I KNOW, JUST A LOGICAL PROGRAMMER TYPE HERE....LOL.

See, no tar instructions...http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59994426&postcount=1

so will there be a black GPE theme in your rom? thats what i care about...i can deal with Viper. just bought the key to PowerAmp, maybe that will replace it sorta.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Im pretty sure he removed the on zip instructions cause people were having issues, i know i never had any success dlashing any kernels or anything through a zip with flashfire or safestrap, so i would use the original method of the tar for system and kernelw and the zip for the partitions and stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
I flash the OC4 kernel in safestrap all the time thats in the NCE Flasher thread. ;) The one on page 8 not the op. I'll have detailed install instructions out tomorrow with the roms. Wait on it.

Sam I don't have a gpe theme done yet. I will be posting how to temporarily apply layers over things to theme them though until I get the time to work on the theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ya exactly, works for some not all, maybe some user error somewhere, who knows, all i know is it doesnt work for me and plenty of others have reported it not working equaly as much as those who have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
It has to be the one you're using. Theres one posted on page 8 that works fine. Its not user error. The script in the one in the op is wrong. Its fixed in the other one posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I'll take your word for it, i personally prefer using flashfire, to each their own though.

---------- Post added at 14:45 ---------- Previous post was at 14:03 ----------

I had an idea, obviously there's some incompatibilities with the wireless drivers in stock twi5ted, they are replaced by the ones i assume are included in the international fix, im going to search through it and see if i can replace the ones present in the rom and see if that fixes it.

---------- Post added at 15:44 ---------- Previous post was at 14:45 ----------

I did it, everything works now, the issue is securestorage funnily enough, its still set to true by default in twi5ted, setting it to false makes wifi work flawlessy, whereas it used to take quite a while to turn on among other issues mentioned previously, and best of all the supersu prompt works great as well. When I set it to false my phone wouldn't fully boot, system would crash, soi battery pulled for a bit, booted again, no dice, so i went in to stock recovery, cleared the cache, and battery pulled again, now it works great. So for anyone on v4 or v5, go in to you build.prop and set securestorage to false. [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION] Maybe consider turning this off by default?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
ok, just one question..yea, right... so when we do your rom, will we first have to be on stock 5.0? will we be able to do it with NCE Flasher/SS and if we go to 5.0 and use the flasher, will we should be able to do backup and restore in SS?

i am now going to go to stock 5.0 the original SS way and play. if i have to go back to XDK for a while, so be it...it is a pain, but not hard. again, thanks for all the good work. i am sure as your rom develops, we will have everything we need!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
hell ya........did it......fking...........ya.........great job man.....i feel like a kid in a candy store..........i didnot have to do a batt. pull i changed it to false rebooted and bam good to go.........thank you........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I'n going to repost the flashfire tutorial slightly modified and link to it in the original post, mind linking to it in the op?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
the main thing to fix was the bootloop which thats great.......but my root is still the same......having to swithto grant.........i even cleared my cache.....no luck.....any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Here's a tutorial for flashing this entirely with flashfire, It's worked for me but I cant guarantee anyone else's success, the steps are as follows:

Pre-reqs:

Get the Twi5ted lollipop zip here, and obviously flashfire, you must also be on lollipop through muniz_ri's process.

Steps

1.) Open flashfire, tap the +, and then tap "Flash zip or OTA" and browse to where you have the twi5ted lollipop zip and add it.

2.) You should notice an everroot action was added, and it should say disabled, tap the and check "Inject SuperSU".

3.) Once again, tap the + and tap "Wipe" and check everything except internal storage

4.) Now make sure you have the actions in the following order:

Wipe

Flash zip or OTA

Also check to make sure within the actions you have everything checked correctly and whatnot, you can leave reboot as default.

5.) Tap the lightning bolt and then tap OK and it should flash without issue

After the flash is finished, your phone will reboot, you'll get the glaxy s5 creen, then the boot screen with some korn playing, you will sit on this screen for a LONG time, for me it was much longer than any of the other lollipop flashes I had done, it will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes so just WAIT and you WILL boot up.

If you have any issues with SuperSU prompts not appearing, give the phone a couple reboots and wait a bit and the prompts should start showing up. If they dont ever start showing up try a reinstall, make sure you use the reinstall option in SuperSU. If its still not working report here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
awesome.................started over and it works .......great job....i linked it on original page ..........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Thanks for testing it man, hopefully it works for everyone else. Is you supersu working now as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
Going to try now, can I just flash V5 over V4 or do I need to NCE down?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Should be able to dirty flash v5 over v4, worked fine for me just make sure to flash the oc4 kernel back through odin or in flashfire, also make sure to turn off secure storage as stated above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
Where will I find secure storage setting. Sooowi me very tired
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Check step 6b in the tut a couple posts up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
Will do, whats better downgrading to NCe and starting fresh, or dirty flash v5 over v4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Wouldn't be able to tell you, i dirty flashed over and it worked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:

You made the ROM - so clearly you helped :) I'll be flashing it tonight once my phone is charged!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Just a quick question, i noticed that you enabled 360 degree rotation, it's a slight annoyance at times, is there a way to disable it or is it just part of tmobile roms? Also do you plan on disabling securestorage in future releases?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ryan0720:
I've ran every twisted rom so far I have followed your work for a long time...in my opioin you r one of the best......thank you sir....

Its in framework-res.........

Go to res/values/bools.xml.......

Change this:

<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">true</bool>

Use Rom Toolbox to edit your build.prop

Use a rom editor tool or long press the file and press open in text editor.

Having a problem here. After I installed Total Commander and was granted SuperSU access, changed the build.prop as instructed, rebooted, now TiBu or Lucky Patcher or Root Checker Im not even getting any prompts. Cant run FlashFire to go back to muniz_ri 5.0 either because Im not getting granted root access. Any suggestions please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Did you change the supersu setting back? I'm not really sure what the problem is with this, you're the second person to report this, meanwhile others have had 0 issues. I really dont know, maybe try concerting it to a system app, should be at the bottom of settings, should already be a system app though. If that doesnt work try uninstalling and reinstalling, if it still doesnt work try converting to a system app again. Last thing you couls give a go is stock recovery cache clear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
How do we Change Colors of things? Like the Teal Blue of everything in words when u open stuff and install stuff? also the background color of the windows?

And all that, and can we add themes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MetalHead66:
I did change it back to prompt. But I got curious and just changed it back to grant and now I can use the apps that require root. Weird. But I dont feel safe leaving it at grant so I think I will flash back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I have to leave mine set to "always allow" also. When i switch back to "prompt" it will never prompt. I've cleared cache and checked to make sure it was system app. I'm just leaving it at always for now.

It's there anyway to change colors on status bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MetalHead66:
I decided to go back to muniz_ri 5.0 for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
I had the same issues, I had to Put Grant in SU settings, Did all u said before but have to leave it at Grant or other apps do not work.

I didnt unistall SU or Clear anything. So maybe I should try that ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I really don't know honestly, all i konw is in my trying to get it to work a bit ago i had reinsalled it, converted it to a system app(which you will need to reboot after doing), and after i set securestorae to false i cleared the cache, and it works for me at thi point. All i did was flashed v4 with the international fix, then i dirtyflashed v5 which actually wipes /system, so there was no residue of the int fix zip that would cause this i think, and then i turned off secure storage and now it works. [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION] any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] killatoyota4569:
Yeah I put securestorage to false, then went into SU and put back to prompt but when I went to open TI backup it was searching for busybox and all. ANd couldnt detect. so I put SU to Grant and worked fine. SO idk

Is there a way to change the Font color from That Teal Blue to something else? it is killing me, and a few apps I use and I cant see the damn letters
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Yaaa, i like it against the grey theme in the rom, it looks very nice, but like you said not always nice for some apps. I don't think there is a way built in, you'd have to decompile something, im not sure what.
