Yes for dirty over bloated or just flash the fix. However it won't debloat whats debloated in it for you without a proper wipe of system. Might need to wipe data as well. Probably not for the launcher. I was going to add the s6 launcher for the grid size option but I can't seem to find where the swipe in moved to change it to the app that [MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION] made for the one I'm using now. What makes the note 4 one better? Either way I need to do some optimizations for one soon. Also noticed that zip adds themes for the theme chooser and seems to replace the csc/feature.xml. I suggest not using that flashable zip unless you remove that or you will lose some of the changes I made to that file.

I know its called zeropage but I couldn't find the right code to replace in the xml file for it. Or its not as simple as it is in the S5 launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] K-alz:
Nothing makes it better. It's just the only one o found. Lol

I did use it and it flashed and worked with only one issue. After first boot a pop up window with "system UI has stopped working" shows up. And landscape mode caused UI to stop on some apps.

I'll just download the bloated one just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
It must of edited your build.prop then too, I missed that in there. To make the international build work on this device I had to change a few lines in it from klteuc and klteatt to klte. Simple fix for that issue and I'm not going to question it. Just know that changing them is what causes this.

You should be fine flashing the debloated one. Whats extra from the bloated release will remain. Nothing changed with the bloat, just the other system functions. The fix zip won't fix this because the build.prop isn't included in it. Hope you can get it back without too much hassle :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Yo bro can we add the s6 apps rselves on the debloated version? ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Yup. Make a backup in case. If you have any problems let me know. I will say again I don't suggest the S6 Mms apk. I added all the ones I thought were worth it and actually made a difference beside the s6 launcher. Well the keyboard and music player. They're both much better than stock in my opinion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
It was a fun job and very exhausting. We had their busiest day ever on the 3rd. I'd get into some stories but I don't think most of you really care. I need a little time to relax and enjoy my vacation then I'll be getting the next update and theme done.

Jim is working with me and john on the theme. Yes that is a little tease of it. John has done a lot over the last few weeks that I've been so busy.

As Jim said we've both been working hard. Me selling and stocking fireworks and John has been making this theme come along. I also want to thank everyone whos been answering questions in this thread. This is the first I've looked at it in about a week. Hope everyones doing good. I'll be back at it in a few days unless I decide to goto the beach next week.

I bought a Z2 off swappa. Works fine with AT&T. I use my 870a as back up and burn phone. I might never buy a phone from a carrier again.

I have read this thread but still not sure if I can flash this rom or not?

I am on G900A_OF2_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM with G900A_OA1_Bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Honestly I don't know, the OF2 was just released and no Devs have said yes or no yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iamthedj:
i wouldnt flash of2 it seems there is alot of issues and you might not be able to downgrade after flashing if you read up on the thread i suggest waiting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I just read the thread at

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3149146

and of course [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] has done it again. There is a odexed and deodexed zip file. He says as usual, no BL update, but modem and kernel, etc. Such a genius!!! I just posted a question there asking him if I find a big problem with OF2, can I just flash his original 5.0 stock rom and restore BU. I do not understand when he updates the things we can't access, what the rules may be and this is the first "non-update" (useless ATT) of LP for us. I also asked if indeed the kernel has changed, if there is an OF2 flashable or tar file kernel in case SS is needed. I hope he answers. I wont try it unless I know I can go back without going back to NCE. NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THAT...LOL.

If he answers, I will report back here...

and again, if all is cool, IS IT WORTH IT??? LOL

Of course thinking more about this, it would not do any good unless you wanted to run STOCK!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
He also put up a OF2 to NCE downgrade thread, personally I am not flashing anything new until TM & parkerjohn finishes the new Theme. I'm sure if there is any good in OF2 he will add it.,..... Until then hopefully one of these guys will stop asking & just test it for us ??, just kidding...

OK I was finally able to get to download mode. whew, that was scary. but I odin oc4 and am back to normal but still no SS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
After you booted into SS via the NCE flasher, did you flash the OC4 kernel after you finished up in SS,before you tried to reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] VashTS:
has the black screen of death when charging overnight bug been fixed or have a work around?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I haven't had that problem and I've flashed every version of talkingmonkeys rom

it happens every night for me, i charge every night. when i wake up its not responsive and i have to reboot. it stopped doing it for like 2 days until i rebooted during the day at one point - that night it started again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lectron8:
I never got to ss, it went straight from nce flasher to that weird android system recovery

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I really like this rom, have not found any problems, very fast. But I wanted ss so I can install xposed. BTW thankful forTM's hard work and all his friends that help him. This s5 would be such a drag were it not for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Did you install SafeStrap then opened it and install the recovery before u ran the NCE Flasher?

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

After the nce flasher put phone down and it goes directly into safestrap. You're not supposed to go in Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lectron8:
Yes I installed ss yesterday and install recovery, but that's as far as I went, then today I installed nce flasher and got stuck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Sorry for the question but i have to ask, did u install busybox then opened it and applied it?

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Few had the same issue & resolved it by uninstalling SS recovery, reboot then install recovery again then NCE flash...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
I've had this problem ever since I flashed the 2.1 micro update. You can use try to use daydream as a work around but that never worked for me. I had to use tasker to activate daydream. It takes a bit of messing with but it's possible with Tasker. Hope this helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rocknmj:
I had problems with SS when I downloaded directly to my phone. It would just boot to stock recovery. I had to download the files to my computer and then move those to my phone. After that and following all the instructions it worked. Probably just a fluke, but that's what worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Why would we need that thread? We all done it dozens of times, same way for every rom we ever had...

There does not seem to be anything new in it according to ATT, just security and performance enhancements which are part of the system I am assuming, so that is why I said it would not be useful for us. Now if someone could come up with a zip file that just applies the "fixes", that would be awesome, but of course again I do not know what I am talking about...LOL. Yes I do, I just do not know how or if it could be done with Linux.

All these people using Stock. What's that all about??? I mean if you have rooted stock, why would you want to stay with stock? I don't get it...And these are the same people that think it is blazing fast? Hmmmm....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Piplup702:
Well I have successfully installed multi system running stock rooted of2. Created a virtual image of stock system and flashed tms5 2.0 with flashfire on the virtual slot, it is now optimizing apps. So far so good. Will report back when it fully boots

Edit: So I got it booted up, and got process. Android.phone has stopped error twice, then my phone went all wonky and wouldn't react almost at all ( figured that was gonna happen) so I used Odin and flashed oc4 kernel and got the same android phone has stopped twice, after that everything went well. Going to make a backup image and see if my stock image in multi system if still of2

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

Sorry TM for taking the thread off topic, just reporting my findings! So I went back to my stock image and under about device it says its still of2 bit I keep getting android.process. acore has stopped and android.process.media has stopped. Again sorry for being off topic!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lectron8:
Yes I already had bb, but I will try downloading ss & reinstall, that makes sense
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Not sure about the acore error but the media error has a fix in the OP, did you install it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
I have had minor issues also that everyone has had black screen of death after full charge,and a good list of others up to it freezing .and all but I believe either it doesn't .take well flashing some things or something .I've reflashed or should I say dirty flashed the whole debloated version again and re setup using the update. And reset up viper and even flashed things through ss and ff. And it all seems to be working fine now. So I'm geussing. Most is little issues from not exactly doing something.in proper steps. Bad downloads or flashes. Or something missing like busy box or whatever. So with all that said it's working fine now . And props to [MENTION=3958498]Talkingmonkeys your doing a great job!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
Wow I can't believe all the problems. I am on the Active with this rom and update. I get about 24 to 30 hours on a full battery and mess with everything on my phone. I froze greenify and have xposed installed running gravity box. I install framework and secsettings about 30 to 50 times a day working on the theme using safestrap. I got to say I have no problems any where on this device. And am excited to get the new update the TM is working on. I hope everyone can get there issues fixed because this rom is off the hook. Awesome job [MENTION=5266065]talkingmonkeys[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Never worked for me. I gave up and really the only reason I wanted it was to make Viper work, which of course they finally did, so Bye Bye MS. Maybe it does have other purposes, but not for me. I spent hours trying to get it to work a while back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Piplup702:
Yeah I had that problem also, formatted my SD card multiple times followed the instructions to the T and it never worked. But I decided to try again since 2.0 is supposed to come out soon(supposedly it will support going from KitKat to lollipop on virtual slots) and it worked first try!

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

The media fix worked thanks! And I figured out the process.acore has to do with the contacts app, so I force stopped it, cleared cache and data and no more problems yet!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Piplup702:
So I got the acore has stopped again, so I just froze the contacts app and that stopped it for good! Luckily this is just a phone I use for modding so it doesn't hurt me any lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lectron8:
You were right rocknmj I downloaded new ss via my computer and it worked flawlessly. Thanks to you and jimwick for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adrock74:
I honestly don't either. The time between updates has allowed me to get this phone running about as well as I could ever hope. Smooth, no real bugs to speak of. Xposed, you name it, without a hitch. Hell, I'm hesitant to update at all. (But I know I will :good:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Hopefully some can help I did everything to a T to use safestrap and after nce flasher flashed a tab came up and said reboot so I hit it and it took me to galaxy s5 screen and froze. I used busy box also. Can some tell me what I did wrong??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Did you install safestrap recovery? Also busybox in op?

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Samething happen to me and the 2 guys 2 post before this one. The fix is there, just do what they did...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
OK I installed busy box and applied it I then installed safestrap I hit install recovery , it said recovery installed I installed nce flasher then then I ran it and a box came up and said tap to reboot so I tapped it it rebooted and froze on the Samsung galaxy s5 screen

Yes I saw that I read the posts but Jim it was frozen and I pulled the battery and it kept taking me into system recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
It sounds like you done every thing correct the same way i done it. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you tried to reflash the rom. There is a difference in this rom versus other roms (meaning stock rooted ). Meaning if the flash was bad on one part, the rom still could work but the feature for the NCE flasher may not. It's just a suggestion bit one i would try. Reflashing when you have a problem and others don't often fixes the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Do u have to be on TMS5 for it to work or is this for any rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
When the OC4 update and keep root came out i was unable to use NCE flasher. I then downloaded and flashed the backup rooted version (not sure what thread is in) but it worked then. I think it had something to due with busy box because i couldn't get any busy box app to install ( it kept falling ) one i installed the rooted backup from Muniz it worked, then when i installed this rom it worked. Lead me to think it was either busy box or the flash. Either way reflahing normally can fix a lot of problems. Use titanium back up to restore your apps and it ain't that much hassel unless you've done major modifications. ( but then again we flash because we like messing around with our phones :sly:;):D)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
So after nce flasher flashes does a little reboot tab pop up?? And then it takes you to safestrap. It wouldn't let me do anything so I had to use nce downgrader. I'm on Muniz oc4 deodexed rom. So it should work on that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
It should. I haven't had a problem with it since i flashed TMS5. It also worked for me when i was on munizs "update to OC4 and keep root" thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
OK thanks brother heading to bed now I'll try it out it tomorrow morning I'll let u know thanks bro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
[MENTION=4997760]Joehen873[/MENTION] are you on the S5 or S5 Active. Are you getting all your files from this thread or links from this thread. It is important you are using the correct Flasher and such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
G900a. The onlything I didn't get from the thread was busybox I knew I needed it so I went into play store myself but that shouldn'tmatter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Samething as the rest of us, did you try uninstalling SS recovery then app then redownload and install again??

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

It worked for [MENTION=1567169]lectron8[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

Don't know if it has to be downloaded to a pc first but definitely reinstalling SS worked for alot of us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
WELL, I woke up and found 2 more pages added and got excited. NOT ANY MORE....

I do not know. I have used SS on every base/rom since I rooted this phone in 10/2014 (yes, I was late to the party for rooting), and never had a problem with SS. Installed the current one in 12/2014. There is no reason for it not to work. The OP is totally correct. If you downgraded to NCE (for whatever reason) and then rooted and went to Stock rooted OC4 with FF it should work. If you then went to this or any other rom, IT SHOULD WORK.

GOOD LUCK, I HOPE YOU GET IT TO WORK JOE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Dude Sam I'm pulling my hair out I did everything to a T I'm not new to this stuff so I know what I'm doing. I'm about to try it again when I get done work but my question is [MENTION=5429984]jimwick[/MENTION] if it gets stuck at s5 screen and I get into system recovery and select reboot system y won't it reboot the phone??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Make sure that the kernel that your using was a good download. Also i always used a different busy box but the one i used for some reason the nce flasher wouldn't work correctly. I had to download the one recommended in the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rocknmj:
Download the latest files (SS and NCE Flasher APK) to your computer. Flash OC4 kernel via Odin to get your phone to boot again, then transfer SS and NCE Flasher to your phone and try the process again. Not sure why, but downloading directly to the phone seems to mess something up for some. This is what worked for me and I was having the EXACT same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iamthedj:
i would reflash oc4 kernel if your on 5.0 see if that works if not nce restore via odin https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552704
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I agree. Obviously apps from the Play Store work, but I am an old dog and use my PC for most stuff, so everything NOT in the Play Store I download to my PC and then copy to my phone. Guess that's why I never had a problem. Maybe that has been Joe's problem all along. I know some people use their phones for EVERYTHING...LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
OK well I just downloaded nce flasher ,safestrap and oc4 kernel to my pc I'm gonna do it in about an hour so I'll get back to u guys thanks oh yeah I got my phone to boot back up to nce
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
You didn't flash back to NCE did you?

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

I would just reinstall SS, not everything...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
Make sure you do the busybox from thread also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
............. No idea, I think mine did the same but I just pulled my battery, went into download mode and flashed the NG3 or OC4 kernel in the OP, reboot back into the phone, uninstalled SS and reinstalled SS, went into NCE Flasher and it worked fine. Took maybe 5mins to do..........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iamthedj:
you also have to make sure you have the right version of safestrap i had the wrong version yesterday when i had to do a restore to nce and it wouldnt boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
The one in this OP is correct, I checked. It is a very good OP. I have the APK in several places, but I usually restore SS without data from my backup, along with most everything else. Gee, I hope he does not have anything important in Internal SD because as most of us know, when you go back to NCE...WIPEOUT!!!

All this going back to NCE??? It's just a bit of a pain (a very little bit) to restore the Internal, if you got the backup, that is... I do not know what people without PC's do...

IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 HOURS AND NO WORD FROM JOE. I WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lectron8:
This may be a bit trivial but since tm5 2 upgrade my s5 no longer wakes when connected to charger. Is this normal? I can't find a way to enable this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
It is normal. I do think there is an option in the TMS settings but not 100 percent sure since i prefer it to not wake when i unplug or plug it in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
I always download mine to a computer then transfer it all to my external SD card so it's always there .of course I do have a 32 gig external SD card though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Its listed in the OP as he removed that. If you want it back I believe its an option in Wanam Xposed module.

Just heard Samsung is gonna release the theme store for Gs5 next month :o!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
All good bro got it to work thanks. But I lost root for the second time so let me ask u guys a question. Using safestrap I flash the rom and then ghe oc4 kernel so for now on i wanna flash supersu, so question can i do itlike that and if so when do i flash supersu before the rom or before oc4 kernel or after oc4 kernel??? Im not taking a chance any more of losing root because it happened twice and it sucks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
The oc4 kernel is always the last thing u flash. Thats how ur able to get back into the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Flash supersu before kernel, thanks jim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I do not understand why you lost root to begin with. That was before, right? Not this time, right? The rom comes rooted with SU so I do not understand why you would be losing root and Jim said nothing about SU in his reply. Actually you had to grant root access when you installed SS...

Glad it's all working out for you....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Jim i can flash super su after i flash the rom ?? I dont wanna take any chances
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Thats exciting. I need a few more days to get my mind right and me and John will finish off this theme soon. Sorry for the delay yall I have been so busy the last month and I just need to relax and enjoy the summer a little bit. There should be something done by the end of the month though

Thanks again jim, sam and everyone else for keeping up with the thread.
