awesome, simple enough! umm i have a totally unrelated issue involving the Samsung Core PRime G360T. Its more than likely not device specific, but where would i post this issue so people can help me? Its a very very weird issue...Im a auth. dealer for MetroPcs. a customer came in with a device with a pretty serious issue. He had another phone so i took the busted one and told him i would return it if i can fix it. Im sure youve heard of the FBI virus that asks for 500 to "unlock" your phone. obviously a scam. i did some research on the phone and pinpointed its most like from an app(already cleared data from all browsers in SAFE mode) still comes up so i notice an app called "PornPlayer" i seen this app pop up for about a third of a second before the FBI screen would pop up and lock your device. i was unable to uninstall the user app because the pop up FBI thing. thats when i started the phone in SAFE MODE and located the app in Application manager through the phone. BUT the options are GREYED OUT!! no other user app is greyed , only this "pornPlayer" app. SOOO i found the stock firmware and flashed through ODIN. i swear to you its is stock OS , it even popped up Optimizing app 1 Out of 47. nothing unusual so far....EXCEPT the FBI thing is still here!!! pls help the phone is very cheap but i dont like to fail..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
There's most likely a file hidden somewhere in a partition that isn't getting wiped. Or did you not wipe the internal memory when you flashed the stock ROM? That file is lying dormant somewhere. I know for PC there's ways around paying the fee they want, but it essentially just encrypted all files so they can hold you hostage in hopes of a ransom. First I've heard of the FBI virus on a phone tho...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
yep i can post screenshots if you like..i DID NOT master reset due to the customer not knowing the gmail password so he wouldnt have been able to get into the device anyway if i reset it.....Lots of angry customer because of this gmail thing and having to know the password they used to set up the phone originally. But do you have any ideas on what can be done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] thepassionofchad:
Screen wont come back on after charging.

Great ROM but my screen wont come on if i leave my phone charging for a bit. Have to pull the battery and reboot. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Just so you know, you never need to pull the battery. PWR + HOME + VOL DN held at the same time for a few seconds will reboot the phone.

This "freeze" has been discussed many times before. I never had it. I think it might be a problem with the Active? I never paid much attention to it. Also might be the version of the rom. Sorry, I do not know much about it. Maybe someone will chime in, but this thread is fairly dead. Too bad, great phone that Samsung and ATT killed development on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
I had the same freezes on my g900a. I don't know exactly what fixed it, but I know I went back to muniz_ri 5.0 keeproot and reinstalled the rom a few times so something fixed it. I just can't be sure, because I had switched VR pulldown zips, tried different fix zips. So I can't put my finger on which combo worked. But like [MENTION=5042884]samccfl99[/MENTION] said no need to battery pull.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
are you using any kind of powersaver or editing the processor speed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I had ongoing freeze problems with this Rom, both the debloated and undebloated versions. Mine seemed to get progressively worse as time went on. I finally had to cut the cord and go to Twi5ted Lollipop. I had some problems for a few days with that one with random reboots but nothing since. I had to have stability. I miss this ROM somewhat, but unfortunately none are being supported so it's not a big deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Did you use titanium backup at all to restore apps? If so there in most likey lies ur problem file structures are different between roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
You have to have TB settings set to be detected from sd card filesystem with a copy of it's settings to restore from. It makes the ID's match from being restored. As soon as you direct it to the sd card folder from another ROM it has a popup that says you have a previous ID and that you should restore the previous settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
As far as the freezes, we're any of y'all running xposed? I seemed to have narrowed it down to xposed causing the problem of mine freezing. Everything was fine until I installed xposed, then it would start causing problems again.

I ended up going back to xdk and figuring out how to start with GPE 4.1 and themed it similar to blue ice and I couldn't be happier. My phone is faster, smoother, and I don't have to worry about freezing or any other weirdness. Here's some screenshots of my "tms3 4.1"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I was running Xposed with TMS5. It may have been the culprit, but the issue is somewhere in the ROM, because Twi5ted Lollipop doesn't freeze with XPosed. I've also recently flashed Alliance, and it doesn't freeze either, though it doesn't run with XPosed, and, with Alliance, I don't really need it, because its own app has settings that I was using Gravity Box for (e.g. hardware key mapping).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I never have any problems, but then again I use my phone for only a few things. I use Xposed, but for a very few modules because most of the ones I used to use do not work on LP. Are you saying you went back to XDK which was 4.4.2? I know it did not play well with OA1. I have absolutely no real love for Google/Samsung/ATT because all they do is fix and create new bugs in every version of Android. For me, I love to listen to music when I am on the run and there was a horrible bug in 4.4.2 (not sure about 4.4.4) that made music chop and skip so much it was very annoying. I did not even know it was a bug until I went to LP and the problem disappeared. I was very happy.

That's all I got to say. Glad you are happy with what you did, but I am not sure if I understand it. Maybe you can elaborate more if you feel like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
I went from XDK 4.4.2 to tms5 with blue ice theme but I hated the freezing. I own my own business and there were times where my phone would die and it took 30minuts of messing around to get it to finally boot. Usually I had to Odin the ng3 kernel, dirty flash, then safestrap flash the oc5 kernel, then flash blue ice +fix. I like twisted but missed blue ice theme, I tried to flash blue ice but it didn't work out so well. Alliance was OK, but I just like the blue ice theme. Now that I've taught myself how to theme, I might try twisted again. My favorite thing about tms5 was the blue ice theme, mainly the toggles and settings icons. XDK 4.4.2 had the GPS themes but the icons and settings icons were a little plain and boring. Other than the look 4.4.2 seemed to be fine. There's some minor things I miss about lp like mirror link, but I just wish there was a way to keep safestrap working like it did on 4.4.2 and not have to deal with the freezing. I'm going to be going with a different phone that's more friend to customize. I've been fairly Samsung loyal, with my first being an att s4 active, then I went with a Windows 8, then quickly back to Samsung. My g870a has been a great phone, and this is my 2nd one. I got my first before root, and I remember when the first debloated stock rom was developed, then I went to Unity and it was looking like we had a nice start with some good devs, but that went away in a hurry. I think my next phone will be an LG G3, nexus 6, or xperia. I use Harbor mobile, so I'd like to stay with them because I like the att coverage, but maybe use an international model with unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure how all that works, so of anyone knows feel free to pm me and explain it to me. Or at least tell me which carriers phone with an unlocked bootloader works with att bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
As far as taking 30 min reflashing after your phone would freeze up & die. When I had the freezes all I had to do was hold Vol Down+Home+Power for a few seconds and it'd reboot. After doing a clean install and only flashing the theme & small update, with GPS fix zip, I no longer had the freezes. I know even the T mobile samsung devices are coming with locked bootloader so the only option is $700 + for an international model. That's for the s7, but I'd imagine they're all about that much. [MENTION=5042884]samccfl99[/MENTION] has been looking into this so he might know more.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
Alright, so I'm on the latest romance with the blue ice theme, but certain apps have black background with black text, such as reddit sync.

How would I go about fixing this? On a side note, I remember using a fix for the settings text to show up, and those texts show up fine in phone settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
OK I seemed to have had a long night, and completely left stuff off. I would get the freezes which I'd be able to do the volume power home dance to reboot, it wasn't the freezes that would cause me to have to dirty flash, it would go to a bootloop at the boot animation screen. The bootloop (not freezing) was due to xposed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Yes, unfortunately some apps that do not provide their own backgrounds (or something like that) do not display text correctly, they have to have a flash fix, but there is no one to do that anymore. I use a bastardized XMAS theme because the RED to me is better than the blue, plus it has a big CLEAR button. I cannot use Better Battery Stats because the text is not dark and all I see is a red background.

I wonder if [MENTION=5906506]Rakuu[/MENTION] can look at our zip and fix some of these things....EH RAKUU, if you are watching???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
So, I just flashed the joker theme, in hopes that would help, but it doesn't. What are my options in order to make these settings visible? Like delete the themes maybe? And if so, would you be kind enough to tell me how?

Thanks a lot for the help!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Oh, did not notice you had a 870A. Seems like they had the freezing problems. As for another phone, well I have been investigating INTL models. Depends on how much you want to spend and if there is any good development on the phone. Hard combo to find. No sdcard in Nexus so that is out for me. S7 edge 935F is still over $700. LG G4 815H is unlocked with sdcard, but a bit outdated. it is a very tough decision. I hate to give the money to Samsung since they have screwed up Android since LP, in my opinion, dev-wise that is. Some carriers have unlocked BL, but even on T-Mobile they locked the BL on the S7 although supposedly the CEO is "trying" to work a deal with Samsung to unlock them. WHAT BS....TRYING?

If they would only find out how to unlock the BL on the G900A, I would keep it for a while, but the G900V team does not have the solution even though they unlocked that and the VZ Note3 already. GGGRRRRR.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

The older ones like Joker and Batman can be used, but they are old and only the newer ones have some of the bug fixes. Also there may be a problem seeing the text on SOME apps with all of them, but most have been fixed in the newer theme. Only ones you can really use are these:

BLUE ICE - http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/blue-ice-tms-3-0-t3192483

XMAS - http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/xmas-theme-2015-tms-3-0-t3260033

HALLOWEEN - http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/themes-apps/tms3-0halloweentheme-t3201119

If you try any, you should dirtly flash the rom again and then apply the themes. All your apps will still be there after. Xposed will have to be reflashed also if you do that and Viper will need to download the drivers. No big deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
So I should try dirty flashing the rom first, then applying one of these themes? Will I have to set up all my apps again?

The only app that's really giving me an issue is sync for reddit but it's annoying as hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
None of that will fix that problem probably. It is what it is. Just wanted to make sure the rom was clean. Never hurts to dirty flash if not sure. I use the TM-Build (DEbloated). Read what I wrote at the end before about nothing being lost.

Hope you are using FF or SS to backup!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
So even a clean build without applying a theme will give me this issue?

Dammit!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Well you can flash the Stock Bloated and see what happens. You can dirty flash that too. Will get rid of the theme and maybe all is well. Custom roms usually are custom and not stock. You can also try the Twi5ted rom, but then you really will have to do a clean flash and restore your apps and such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
I said **** it and went back to rooted of3 stock, at least everything works.

Thanks for your help anyway!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
??? You are not the one who was asking the questions...LOL.

I HATE STOCK THOUGH. For us older programming types that do not use the phone like the kids do, TMS5 3.whatever works good enough and is PRETTY!!! :laugh::D

Thanks for the thanks though...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Its been so long since i looked through the op but there was a white text fix for that . I believe i may have it in a zip if you guys cant find it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Yeah, I got that fix zip of course. That was for the original version of the rom (meaning before the newer themes with the fixes in them). It might work if you do not have a theme, but I am pretty sure I tried it a while back when I found this problem with BBS. It did not have any effect. Maybe I am remembering wrong though....LOL. Might try it again. If it does anything bad I just have to run the theme zip again.

Thanks [MENTION=319261]Cap[/MENTION]...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Do you happen to have that theme in a shareable zip others could use ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gots54:
I too had ongoing freezes on both mine and my wife's G900A's (in addition, hers had occasional shut-off's/reboots too which got progressively worse). It occurred often enough that my wife (who's not technical) hated (and blamed) the phone that I had to fix that as quickly as possible (by installing 5.1.1 unrooted stock (for now)). In addition to the ongoing freezes, I also experienced a problem with NovaLauncher wherein it would re-draw (with a long delay) the home screen after every few clicks of the HOME button. The 'Agressive desktop' option in Nova Launcher made no difference. It was clear there was some memory leak of some sort.

Frustrated with these issues, I decided to try Twi5ted lollipop (together with xposed) and was quite pleased with that ROM. I didn't experience any freezing nor did Nova Launcher re-draw the home page anymore. It was great and stable!!! I ran it for a week, but really missed not having Floating Messages, so I decided to give TMS5 one more try.

This time, I only installed the UnDebloated release with Stock Theme through SS. I did not install the TMS5-3.0_Contacts_fix_Stock.zip like I had done previously, nor did I install Xposed. My previous installs of the UnDebloated release and contacts fix were done both through FF and SS.

But it's been 2 weeks so far and it's been nearly 100% stable. I have not experienced a freeze, and NovaLauncher has never had to re-draw the home screen. I say it's been near 100% stable because I did experience the phone shut it self off in the middle of the night once while connected to a charger. I woke up that morning wondering why my alarm didn't wake me up, and found my phone shut itself off.

Since then, it's been stable and I haven't had any problems. I'll report back if stability changes, but for now, I'm glad I decided to give this ROM one more shot. It's been great! And again, I would have been happy and stayed with Twi5ted lollipop if there were a way to get Floating Messages on it. Props to the developers of both of these great ROM's!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
Good to know. I decided to run Alliance a couple of weeks ago. It's worked well. It won't run Xposed, but I haven't missed it. I used Gravity Box to remap the hardware keys, but Alliance has that setting built in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morthnuravrgjosf:
.. Speaking of Xposed, has anyone updated the framework? I'm still on bridge 64 and some modules have outgrown this version. I've been looking online, but since we're on the custom ROM, I wasn't sure if I needed a customized framework?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I use this and run v83 from the after thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morthnuravrgjosf:
so you kept the same installer, just took the updated framework?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Just have the lollipop installer, and flash the 83 zip from the arter thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
So the zip file in Post #6 is old now? It is not V83? So long ago, hard to remember, but I know that is the one I have installed. I really only use a few modules anyway. Most of the ones I used to use they never converted for LP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
The one in the op is pretty old afaik, no need to update if everything's working though or you have a specific reason to.

I really hope all is well with you buddy, and I truly hope life is turning around for you. Thank you for the beautiful ROM. You, along with John and Jim made my S5 Active the best it could possibly be. You should look on the S7 threads to see what John is up to, gorgeous stuff.

Can you explain this? Your signature now says G900F, but the About Device says G900A, which is what I thought you always had.

Isn't PA2 non-rootable 5.1.1? But I guess a 900F has an unlocked BL. I read the thread on the rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Phoenix uses 5.0, I'm not allowed to redistribute it. If you want it just download latest from, and v11 of Phoenix from the s5 international section, then open the zip and remove the kernel and modify the install script and remove the lines that flash the kernel, flash it and if should let you use aroma, works fine for me.

Are you still rooted ? The Phoenix rom is based on PA2 which is unrootable on our att phones.
