OK, last time. Really. You will not lose Anything if you dirty flash. Xposed will not be there and all you have to do to get Viper back is to run it and it will want to download the drivers again. Nothing else will be changed. I have done this many times when changing themes, so this is how I know this. I do not believe flashing the DEbloated version will hurt even if you have the BLoated version on the phone. You really MUST flash the Blue Ice V2 theme and V2 small update. I do not understand why you are making such a big deal out of this. You can and SHOULD make a FF backup before you do any of this and if something happens you can always restore (nothing is going to happen bad). Also I highly advise you, again, to install SafeStrap and flash the ROM itself using that and while you are in SS, you might have well flash the theme zips. Clear Cache at the end and do not forget to flash the OC4 flashable kernel before you reboot. It should take 5-10 min to reboot and if it gets stuck somewhere optimizing the apps, just power it off and reboot it and it will finish.

Here, I will make it easy for you AND ME:

THE END

PS, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I RECOMMEND THE DEBLOATED (TMS BUILD), IT IS BECAUSE IT SEEMS THERE CAN BE TROUBLE WITH THE NEWEST BLOATED VERSION. NOT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, BUT FROM READING EVERY POST IN THIS THREAD...LOL

ALSO SPRINT HAS JUST RELEASED 6.0.1 TO THEIR S5. MAYBE SOMETIME THIS MONTH OR BY NEXT MONTH THEY WILL RELEASE IT TO OUR PHONES AND IF [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] CAN MAKE A ZIP KEEPING THE BL AT OA1, I AM THEN GOING TO AT LEAST LOOK AT IT. I DID NOT WANT TO BOTHER WITH AN UNROOTED 5.1 OR 5.1.1 TO TRY...GOTTA TRY SOMETHING NEW (ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THIS UNLOCKED G900V BL GOING ON), BUT I DO NOT KNOW I CAN LIVE WITHOUT ROOT OR REAL THEME...PLUS 5.0 WORKS FINE FOR ME AND I DO NOT CARE ABOUT ALL THE "NEW" FEATURES IN "M" REALLY AND WE GOT LOTS OF COOL STUFF AND GOOD BATTERY ON THIS ROM ANYWAY...BUT I JUST WANNA PLAY :laugh::cool::D

Just so I know for future reference, the regular uninstaller from arter's thread Works for the version of xposed from this threads OP, we don't need to worry about the uninstaller referenced in rovo's thread? This (XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2) is the installer I have from the OP, along with the xposed-tms5 zip. Thanks in advance [MENTION=5906506]Rakuu[/MENTION]!

Oh, if anyone is interested, [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] responded to my post in another thread and said that he won't be able to do what he does for "M". He says that you NEED the 6.x BL to run 6.x, so unless some genius comes up with a root exploit (they never found one for LP either for our phone), then it is stay with what we got or get a new phone. So sad, I did not want to spend a lot of money.

Way to ruin my Friday Sam....Lol jk. No really tho, that sucks! I was hopeful. Maybe if someone just ports aspects of 6 into a custom 5.0? Who knows. I was looking at Nexus but like you've said no sd card. But I'm only looking at that for Google Fi and the fact that Nexus is unlocked. We shall see....

FWIW, I just bought another S5a to test a theory I have to attempt the same for an ATT phone. Not sure it will work, but going to give it a go, and if it bricks, well, not out much.

It won't work, but good luck. I gave up hope. Just going to buy an unlocked BL phone soon. SCREW ATT. SICK OF ALL THIS $HIT...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nemiroG1:
Could be, but I thought it was worth a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
There is a new and even easier method if you want to try, but that whole thread is talking about a 900V, not an 870, but maybe they are really the same. I think you still need to put at least a 4gb (SPARE) SdCard that will be formatted, even though the post does not say to. Still do not think it will work, but let us know.

Oh, it is also in the OP now I see. I wonder if they will be able to unlock the VZ Note 4 and 5 now? I truly hope they unlock every damn BL VZ has and then come start on ATT. These giant a-holes need a wakeup call...

help

I have this ROM installed, have for awhile but i have a few questions.. maybe you could help. i flashed this ROM via FF a couple weeks ago and all was fine, then i started having horrible battery issues. I was thinking about a reflash of the entire rom to help with the battery issues. i heard that its better to use SS over FF. Do you think that with me using SS instead of FF that this will solve my battery issues? If i should use SS , do i wipe the phone first or does SS do that by itself? Via BetterBatteryStats, system is using 50% or more of my battery as well as google play services is using 42 % via the phones battery menu. IM SO SICK of this phone dying while using it, although it does not die at ALL when the screen is off, only while screen on does it drain a percent every 3 minutes or so with NO services running(wifi,data,GPS). Should i just reflash or hope for the best? or do you think my ROM is fine and doesnt need reflash and its just a system issue?Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
These phones use up battery if you're on it constantly. Just minor apps will not drain the battery as quickly but running something that is resource hungry like Clash of Clans, or watching video it does eat up battery at a good pace. That being said, what are you referring to with screen on? Running an app that uses cpu power or just messaging or something similar? I use Auto brightness too which helps. But I can get thru the day on 1 charge if I'm not on my phone constantly, which is usually only while at work. Are you running the bloated ROM or the debloated TMBUILD? Bloated ROM has more stuff running in the background constantly. Facebook & Messenger autostart numerous times throughout the day. So I just access thru Chrome. I also use 360 Security and boost every time I access the phone. There are settings to force close apps so they don't restart also. But I ultimately don't think it's directly related to this ROM, bloated or not.

~TMS5-3.0-TMBUILD on G900A with Blue Ice Theme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
The battery drain must be an app. I could tell you that I put SKYPE on my phone (why I do not know, I never have used it) and that damn thing drained the battery so bad (I never ever even opened it). I froze it. AS IS FACEBOOK, another app I do not need on my phone. The battery now is as good as gold. UNTIL YOU USE THE PHONE...HEY, IT'S AN ANDROID!!! Still the best rom for this phone!!!!

It might be better to dirty flash the rom in SS (has nothing to do with the battery issue), whichever rom you used. NO WIPING. You will also have to flash the theme again too and xposed if you did. Wipe CACHE at the end and do not forget to flash the OC4 kernel...LOL. The phone will be come up just like you left it. Of course, always backup before doing something like this, but it will be fine.

PS, I MUST SAY THAT THIS FLASHING WITH SS ADVICE CAME FROM THE DEV. SOMETHING ABOUT PERMISSIONS NOT BEING CHANGED. THIS WAS KINDA ADDRESSED BY [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] WHO SAID THAT FF SHOULD BE CHANGING THOSE PERMISSIONS CORRECTLY...WHATEVER THEY DO...LOL. I USE SS FOR THE ROM. IT DON'T TAKE THAT LONG EXTRA TO DO...HOPEFULLY MY NEXT PHONE WILL BE FLASHING WITH TWRP!!! (LIKE THE G900V...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...LOL)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
Regarding what apps i had installed, nothing that would cause this drain as they were all system apps(like 3C toolbox and greenify and boot manager) nothing like games or social, but besides that i used NCE flasher, got into SS and then attempted to flash the zip for TMS 3.0 R

OM or whatever its called and i got stuck in a bootloop. had a hell of a time getting it back to stock but eventually i did get it back to 4.4.2 and rooted, updated to rooted 5.0 then the TMS rom WITH FF . awesome battery life so far. but one question, im confused about the themes. i got just the normal debloated HB theme which is the theme that comes with it by default. first time i used this rom i flashed a different theme zip over the stock theme(Holo BLue)with this one(ice blue v2), maybe thats what caused by battery issues? Do i need to use the undebloated version of the rom with the stock theme if i want to use ice blue theme? or can i just flash over the one i have now?(holo blue theme) AS well as wht quality driver do you use for Viper Audio ? i feel like the highest quality drains my battery even when not using it after i get done listening to music. Any tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nemiroG1:
Interesting note. I did go ahead and buy another S5a, and this one does have the Toshiba '11' eMMC chip. Comparing to my existing S5a that does have the exploitable '15' chip, according to the eMMC Check app, the eMMC chip in my '15' phone is dated 06/1998, and the '11' phone is 01/1999.

Deciding if I want to migrate my daily driver setup over to the "new" phone (which isn't as nice as my old one), and then press on, or just wait a while. I do have a unique angle I want to try on this, but the intent was to use another phone as a guinea pig, rather than my daily driver.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
I have the debloated rom, but you definitely need the blue ice theme with small update zips flashed. Also the GPS fix. I haven't had any issues, other than freezes in the beginning, but I reflashed ROM & fixes and it all stuck without the freezing issue. The blue ice has fixes built in, small update also. GPS fix you need as maps will constantly say GPS signal lost without it. I believe those 3 zips are all referenced in the op. If you have trouble finding them let me know. I'll link them for you, or I might even have them all in my dropbox...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
well u did not have to go back to NCE. In the SS instructions, plus my post to you, I told you to flash the OC4 Flashable kernel before reboot. If you forget, you can also Odin the OC4 kernel and then reboot.

So you flashed the right theme, the DEbloated on with Holo Blue (old theme). You now MUST flash the Blue Ice V2 theme and small update. There are needed fixes in there besides the theme. You must have done something wrong before. Glad your battery is better. Also check the VR themes thread referenced in the BI theme page.

I use next to highest. I listen to a lot of music and love Viper and it does not really affect my battery. Just normal super android drain...LOL. Headset is the best to listen with. ALMOST loud enough...LOL (No, it is depending on how it is recorded, of course). Also it is nice to install the Stereo and Volume Mod which makes both speakers work. I use the COMBINED-LOUD. You may know about this, but if not, do it. Need a root explorer. Post is here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/themes-apps/soundmod-t2902915

I add (.new) to the name and then copy and paste it into Root/ETC, add( .org) to end of the current one, take the .new off of the new one, change the permissions (can look at original mixer_paths.xml) and reboot. Whala. But again, you may know this. :D

Beat me to it Josh. You know that normal people would never understand that GPS Fix as it is written. I SURE DO NOT AND NEVER DID. My GPS seems to work, but I know you said it was flakey. I hardly ever use it anyway, I know where I am going...LOLOLOL. Maybe you would like to explain it to me in a PM...LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
is it required?? that theme changes things i dont like for instance, it takes away the transparent notification drop down and changes it to an image with a blue design as well as it adds that same image to the back of my phone settings screen.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

is this theme required? it changes things about my phone that i really enjoy such as the transparent notification dropdown. it looks so much cleaner than the black image with a blue design that this blue ice theme gives me.. only thing thats really different is the notification drop down, music app is plain white instead of black , same with the settings menu, plain white instead of black. My phone runs better than it did the first time, regarding speed and performance. I have NOT flashed the ice blue theme or the update, how important is it? is there a way to edit the back ground the ice blue theme gives me? And the only way for my phone to boot to SS is to use NCE flasher. before my bootloop i flashed with the app,phone restarted and went to SS,i made backup after reflashing the TMS ROM (backup said failed btw) i then tried flashing old default kernel back with SS INSTEAD OF ODIN. Could this have been my issue with the bootloop? Im confused now.. how do i get to SS without the NCE flasher? Maybe im reading wrong but.. who knows.. i will never use SS again other than for a backup..... So im able to get into SS , do what i need to do, then reflash the default kernel WITH SS? I usually use odin to reflash kernel and device boots right up. Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated and thank you so much for your time. Im obsessed with making this S5 the best it can be

what does this sound mod entail? viper seems to be working awesome for me, makes my car quake like ive never heard before, sorry about the split replys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
First, did you go to and read the sound mod post? I told you how to do it pretty much. it will make everything EVEN LOUDER AND GIVE YOU SURROUND SPEAKER PHONE SOUND...LOL. TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT (well I am not sure now that you like Stock so much).

If you want to go back to stock, I think you can just dirty flash the BLoated rom and then that will be that. Rooted STOCK...:confused::D. BUT some people have had problems with that one because there are fixes in the BI theme. The theme is the theme. The Dev is long gone and did not finish incorporating all the bugs in 3.0. A few people tried to keep it alive, which is where we got additional themes...with fixes. If you flash that and have problems, the only thing to try is to flash the special Contacts-Fix zip and then the BI theme and back you go.

SO IT IS WHAT IT IS. STILL THE BEST ROM FOR THIS PHONE!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
You might not need to do the blue ice, but I've seen there are fixes in there for the rom. But the description of the fixes seem more entailed to the Theme, not the ROM. I've barely skimmed thru the entire thread, only read areas that pertained to any problems I was having. But the blue ice is awesome, boot animation is better than the TM settings ones. You can customize the VR pulldown backgrounds. There's a bunch to choose from. Or it's not even that hard to customize your own. I prefer the blacked out backgrounds with this blue ice text over the Holo Blue theme. Just make a backup in FF while things seem to be working in case you want to go back, then play around until you find something. FF backups are easier in my opinion, more compressed too. I'm glad you were able to get the rom to flash with FF, there was an issue there for a bit. Are you on v.31?

Edit: VR Pulldowns for Blue Ice

You may be very well right, but I'm willing to take the chance :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
thanks for the info. If im able to change the background image then im all for the updated theme and fix for it. Can i flash over the theme that comes with the debloated rom? i think this caused performance issues the last time, my device just seemed laggy after flashing this ice blue rom the last time. To use the VR themes for my background and stuff, would it require me to install the ice blue theme? i am trying so hrd to stay away from that theme LOL idk why but i am. i look at it like, its not broke so dont fix it. Between you and i, should i get ice blue theme?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
The only way to do it is to flash over the other theme. You might not have had the fix. But just being on a fresh install of the rom could have fixed any battery issues you were having, not rom related but more app related. But the fix does patch things. You can set up all 3 zips in FF. Then do a dalvik & cache wipe afterwards. The wipe always tries to go last in FF. FF works from the top of the list to the bottom. They can be dragged to rearrange also.

~TMS5-3.0-TMBUILD on G900A with Blue Ice Theme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
so should i reflash the TMS undebloated ROM and then do the theme then the fix? or can i just flash the theme and fix over the rom already on my phone? i appreciate the help bro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
If you are using the DEbloated (tm-build), then just flash in this order. They are BI V2 theme, Bi V2 small update, Circuit board framework bg, and Blue Android Guy in Notification Panel:

All in FF right in a row, wipe Cache at end. You can change the VR Theme Pulldowns to anyone you want.

DONE!!!

PS, JOSH KNOWS MUCH MORE THAN ME, BUT I SHOWED HIM HOW TO GET AROUND OUR ROM...:laugh::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
I tried adding this earlier but I was having a hard time connecting to xda servers.

I forgot to answer the last part of your post. Make a backup first with FF so you can always restore back to where you are now. Hopefully you have plenty of room on your sd card. You have to manually select extsdcard when setting up the backup. Otherwise it defaults to internal. If there's room it will work but if not it will error out. You'll see it in FF if it happens. As far as your backup failing with SS, as this will help keep the same from happening in FF, how much room is left on your sd card? I got a 64 gb and with holding zips & backups it filled up quickly. So I setup dropbox to get the free 50 gb and am holding all that stuff on there so I can access/download as needed.

And like Sam said you don't need to reflash the ROM. Just the theme & VR zips.

This is the pulldown I'm using. There's a link to android file host for all the ones Jim made in that thread. But he has instructions on how to unzip the file, swap out images, need to be a certain size, then rezip & flash.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

pretty sick looking but those icons are gross, i cant stand that theme of icons somehow mine didnt default to that one,it was setup how i had before. idk what happened with the backup my SD was empty i will use FF from now on for backups. Thanks! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
Yeah, you can swap out the background images for pulldown, backdrop instead of circuit board, and in call background I think... Check that VR Theme thread I linked to above. Pretty much all customizable. In TM settings, some won't work that are theme & boot related, you can setup everything. The icons, add extra toggles/icons (gets you the mobile data toggle), fonts, text color of each type of window/screen. Show system info on pulldown, lockscreen or both. Play around. When you get somewhere you like and everything seems stable, make a backup of it. I keep stock backup, stable themed backup, and a fresh backup that I delete and change out b4 flashing something just to save all my stuff, texts call logs, so if something goes terribly wrong I downgrade to NCE with Odin and root, install FF and restore where I just was. That recent backup I delete as needed when making a new one.

~TMS5-3.0-TMBUILD on G900A with Blue Ice Theme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
that easy huh? Just to make sure, i can get 5.0, mess around get all my stuff together, make backup with FF and lets say i soft brick so i have to downgrade to 4.4.2 (NCE ..i think?) which i did do before. i can restore my backup while on 4.4.2 and it will make my device exactly how it was before???? 5.0 and all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
Yep, just downgrade if it comes to that, root with towelroot, install FF(I forget if Busybox is needed) restore your 5.0 backup and it's exactly like you were before you soft bricked. I do a full backup, that's necessary to restore everything. Because of our bootloader being locked that has to stay the same so during restore it will automatically Uncheck & grey out the stuff that does not need restored. Just always wipe cache after so it starts fresh. Dalvik cache can be wiped when having issues because it rebuilds (Optimizing apps) the Dalvik for all the apps. If it ever freezes during that process just hold Vol Down+Home+Power to force a reboot, easier than a battery pull, and it will pick up from where it left off. I've had over 200 apps rebuild and it's almost always froze at least once but never more than once. Any questions just ask.
