Thanks. Yeah, I know all that. I did open FF (v33) since I have not used that version yet and I know about the reboot options and I also know NOT to check that new box about flashing protected partitions (default is unchecked). Just do not know if I want to bother just for the fun of it. I really do not use the phone like most of you do. It is more or less a useful toy to me.

Crap, one week has passed and I did not get selected yet by Mobile Insights. I am fairly sure I missed the window or they did not want to select me because of my survey answers. Most people say that if you do not get a confirmation in around 2 weeks, no go. Oh well, I do not know if I could be unrooted for 6 months even with the newest and latest and fastest phone (for now), the S7 Edge :(.:D

I really like this rom. Smooth and fast :) but even more good is the battery life. With my battery case (view the link) i usually reach 11 hours of SOT :p

Not that it probably matters to any of us on here, but Again, ATT is the last to do an update of their S5, since even Verizon rolled it out the other day. Unfortunately there is no way to even try MM without getting stuck there for us. Wish those people would unlock our BL too, but they cannot. They now seemed to have rooted the 900V on MM and unlocked the BL again!

I know, I know, try the PA2 Phoenix...LOL. Well I might if I do not get the confirmation from the Mobile Insights program. Over 2 weeks now. I wonder what it would be like with no root and the Butt Ugly teeny tiny Stock status bar?....$-H-I-T I am sure...:rolleyes::laugh::silly::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TDizzle329:
Hey, how's everyone doing. I just flashed the "TMS5 3.0 (Undebloated release with stock theme) UPDATED AS OF 10-20-2015" file from post #3116 yesterday and I am trying to get V4A to work.

Every time I open it I get a message saying I need to install the driver, try to install it, then it fails saying "Drive install failed: The Busybox installation found on your device does not work"

I uninstalled Busybox and reinstalled it (both from the Busybox installer and the installer itself from GPlay). I have tried installing it to both /system/bin and /system/xbin

V4A and Busybox have root permission in SuperSU. I've been searching everywhere but I can't find anything on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Never heard this before. Not many of us left in here. I use the DEbloated version in Post #2 with a theme. I never understood why anyone would want any other version of the rom. If I want to flash another theme, I usually dirty flash the rom and then the drivers need to be loaded again and it always has worked for me. I could not live without Viper...LOL.

Sorry I could not be more help. Suggest you wipe and install what I use and use the Blue Ice theme and BI small update. You can always backup what you have now with FF and then try the other. If it does not work or you do not like the results, you can always restore. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TDizzle329:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. I flashed the debloated ROM first but HATED the Holo Blue theme. Wasn't sure what my options where for the theme in the debloated version so I just flashed the version that I used. I'll try the debloated version with a theme and let you know if it worked out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
It is an old rom now (as is the phone, but still a good phone) and the thread is sometimes hard to follow. I do not understand why you hate the theme. The original halo blue debloated had alot of bugs in it if you did not have the fixes. If you just did not like the color, well the Blue Ice is easier to read, but the rest will be the same, just bug fixes. I do not understand why anyone likes Stock...LOL. The Viper should have worked either way. Strange.

You can also try the newer Phoenix Rom which is PA2. Some like it. It is based on the G900F firmware, but works for our phone, I am told by one of our expert users (hi [MENTION=319261]Cap[/MENTION]!). You can search this thread and you will find out about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gots54:
So it's been exactly a month since I posted this. About 2 weeks after I posted this, I started to get occasional auto-reboots, and Nova started acting up again, re-drawing the home screen all too frequently. I cleared cache for all the apps and that seemed to have stabilized things, but after 2 weeks later, the issue is back. So it seems like over time, something causes the phone to start acting up. As much as I hate the stock rom, I've decided to run OF3 rooted for now.

But now I'm reading about Phoenix. Might have to try that. So if I'm following correctly, simply download phoenix for g900f from this thread and flash that onto my g900a with FF, then flash the OC4 stock kernel also from FF, reboot and that's it? Nothing else needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TDizzle329:
Yeah, it's mostly all the bugs. Even when trying to apply the Stock System UI from TM Settings I'm still left with remnant of the old UI, like in messages, which makes it to where all messages are just black text in black box, completely unreadable. Trying to apply new themes from Layers Manager doesn't seem to help either. Not bashing anyone's work here though, hope it doesn't come off like that. I know many many many hours where spent by the person who put this together.

Flashed the debloated ROM and Viper still isn't working. I'll take a look at Phoenix. Thanks for trying to help with this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I was unable to flash the OC4 kernel via FF when flashing the Rom. It apparently didn't take, and I got an invalid bootloader message. I was able to use Odin to flash the kernel. Keep that in mind and be prepared to use Odin if necessary. After I got through that, the Rom has worked well. Pretty similar in performance and features as Alliance. I've experienced no freezes or random boots with either. I ran Twi5ted for a while and got some random boots, but they seemed to die down. I hated to leave TMS5, but I could no longer live with the increasingly frequent freezes with both debloated and undebloated versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Like SB said above, it seems that the Flash of the OC4 kernel does not work behind the rom in FF. I never bothered to report it in the FF thread. In FF you can change the reboot option to go right into download mode to Odin the OC4 kernel. Has to be done in FF because of Aroma.

I think I never had any problem with TMS5 because I flashed all the fixes along the way to the TM Build and I have never clean flashed after the first time...LOL. That or I don't use my phone much, which I don't...LOL. As far as Messages, I use GoSms Pro, so I do not get any of that horrible white.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gots54:
Thanks for the clarification guys. I really want to stay with TMS5, but my phone doesn't seem to work well with it after a while. Will give Phoenix a try, but will stay subscribed to this thread for hope that somehow TM is able to address the rebooting/freezing, and possibly that'll also correct the issue with Nova Launcher having to re-draw the home screen whenever home is pressed. It's got to be a memory leak of some sort.

ATT Wifi Calling

I was talking to ATT today about the bill and I always ask them when WIFI calling/sms will be available for Android, as I do at times, since they gave it to the Rotten Apple people months ago. They have previously told me it would "just work" when they did it (South FL Area), but now I was told that the ones that got the MM update would work. Which means it would never work on our phones unless we make it unrootable (for now probably? never probably!) by going to MM and no way to go back. Of course they change their story all the time, so who really knows, but I guess this makes sense what they said this time, but I thought the changes logically would be done in the servers/towers.

FYI....:crying::rolleyes::eek::D

I guess on other phones on ATT, if using a custom rom it would have to be ATT MM based to use Wifi Calling? Anyone know?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
That viper stuff is easy to fix lol it took me a while but I got it figured out . The problem is in your su app go to the, settings / mount namespace separation box and either tick it or untick it , whatever one it happens to be you want the opposite. Then reboot and it should work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TDizzle329:
Thanks. I reflashed and set it up before restoring my apps and it worked. Was a PITA having to manually restore all of the apps though but everything seems to be working well now

Lol Sam it's easily done when you go flashing the wrong bootloader say a 900a to an 870a . Try it lol you'll have some fun then! Reason I have both is because the wife's is a 900a
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Oh, things are so so. Over 3 weeks and no confirmation from Insights. I wonder if I should do anything?

Never had a hard brick either. I am careful. No flashaholic anymore, at least with this phone. So when my friend pays his bill this month I will finally own the phone. YEAH??? LOL.

Maybe some miracle will happen if ATT ever releases MM for this phone. If not, oh well...not holding my breath.

But we can't flash a BL...oh, maybe OA1...of course thats where it is now and probably forever...LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
G900T?

Now I know someone has a G900T in here. I forgot who. I do know they ran a non-stock kernel so the BL should NOT be locked. I have been doing some research. I think the G900T will run on ATT with my current sim card, correct? with no problems? I really like the S5 and cannot justify spending $700 on a S7. New G900T's are under $250. They got 6.0.1 custom roms and everything it seems. Just trying to get rid of this locked BL now that I will own the phone this month!!!

Anyone want to comment on this idea?

THANKS

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
There are all sorts of threads out there with the right APN's and roms and all for using the G900T on ATT.

That is a good price in that Devices-Now site you sent me. $189 for a good-as-new phone. i never thought of a 900F. looks like they are more money and what would be the diff as long as the BL is unlocked...

Anyway, I could sell my G900A for $150 - $200. In perfect condition, always had a case and a screen protector.

Thanks

I got tired of att lock bootloader so I got a 900t for 160 bucks. Know I'm rocking a s7 port that is just awesome. As a matter of fact having this is just like the old days flashing whatever I want touch wiz or aosp roms. Just get an unlock phone put your sim card in and enjoy . Peace

I've a bonehead move

I have flashed many ROMs on many phones and I successfully flashed this ROM on my S5 Active and then in a moment of despair I made a bonehead move. I didn't see the native wifi hotspot tether button in the pull down menu. My wife and I were getting ready to leave the house and my 9 year old kept asking me to tether so he could get on his tablet. Not sure what I was thinking but I fireflashed the add on https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952601543 for the rooted stock ROM. I don't care to admit when I screw up but I hate being "that guy" that has to ask everyone for help. In short I believe I have a phone with no ROM and only an add-on. I can make it thru the custom Samsung screen and then it sticks on the Samsung splash screen...I can boot into the recovery menu and I am expecting to only be to fix this thru Odin. I have the 870 s5 btw. Any suggestions or even scolding will be welcomed. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I do not understand why they do not put a sdcard in those....

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

I see no one is answering. I do not know everything, and less about a S5A, but that file you flashed with FF should not have hurt anything, unless you did a wipe before flashing the zip. Maybe something happened to the kernel, which would be odd. I don't suppose you have a FF or SS backup, eh? I guess I would Odin the OC5 kernel first, not that I think that would do any good. After that, the only thing I would know how to do was Odin the NCE (or whatever the s5a uses) and setup and restore if possible.

I know this is not a happy reply. Maybe someone else can add to this, but there are not that many people watching this thread anymore...

good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
I flashed TMS5 3.0 with FF and it went perfect. I didn't see native tether button so I tried to flash the native wifi tether add-on with FF but the theme color of the new TMS5 3.0 ROM made the menu background black (or dark dark grey) on FF and I did not see the box checked to overwrite...so I believe it over wrote the ROM leaving just the addon-on....on my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
There is no default WIPE function in FF. You would have to include it in the flash.

I can see FF fine. This rom was never completely finished...well almost. I would highly recommend that you flash the Blue Ice Theme and BI small update. There are fixes to the rom in it. That should take care of many of the background problems you may be having.

The same goes to [MENTION=7533531]EMcRee22[/MENTION] who PM'd me and asked me for the material light fix. I do not know if it will fix anything. I applied it a long time ago when it came out and I have only dirty flashed. Have no idea. It did work before the V2 themes came out. Backup and flash the themes and see if it fixes your problem.

The rom is really good for this phone but you have to put up with a few things you might not like...LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
My phone will not get past the Samsung screen with the blue spashing around it. I believe I overwrote the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Theres no option in FF to do an actual rom wipe, it would break itself doing that so it doesn't do that. If there's a splash past the initial s5 screen that means the rom is broken, not gone, its loading the boot animation so there are files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Thanks so much for the reply. It got past the Samsung Custom then to the Samsung Splash Screen but after a half hour it was still on that screen. After a day of reading I freaked and tried the wipe data/factory reset...now my phone only gets to the custom screen and automatically goes back to the original android system recovery screen. I think this is one of the boot strapped s5 phones that can only use safestrap for a recovery. Thanks again for any suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
Going to have to Odin the stock firmware, re-root, then you can FF back to 5.0. Here's what I've learned works best with tms5:

Once you're on stock Lp with root, install SS and ng3 flasher, then boot into SS. Wipe everything EXCEPT SD card, them install the rom, wipe dalvik, install blue ice, install blue ice update, wipe dalvik again, them flash your kernel and reboot. I think FF doesn't always get the permissions right or something, seems I've had issues when flashing with FF that I didn't have when using SS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I thought I said that??? LOL. You got it down...LOL

in case you need links, anyway since I do not have a 870A, I think this link will downgrade to NE4 (seems to be the equivalent of NCE for the 900A):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799754

this is the link to get to rooted 5.0 for the 870A thru FF:

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841

then do what thedealer says, although I would make sure to use the original TMBuild with the Holo blue theme when flashing TMS5 3.0: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347779759

SS should be used for the rom itself, as stated, but all the others can be done in FF, but of course it would be easier to do the initial one all in SS.

ALSO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT [MENTION=5906506]Rakuu[/MENTION] IS TALKING ABOUT, BUT THERE CERTAINLY IS A WIPE FUNCTION IN FF. IT JUST HAS TO BE ADDED TO YOUR LIST OF OPERATIONS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
There is a wipe function but it doesn't wipe your actual rom. Its not a separate entity like recovery its running from the system, if it left you with nothing it would crash itself, like if you delete your root directory on Windows, it can only partly do it because it crashes itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Thanks for the reply and the advise...I'll give it a try and post how things turn out. Again thanks for taking the time to help me out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
Actually, I've had better luck with the debloated build. Or is that what you were referring to? I've also found that 5.0 oc5 is plays a lot better with tms5 than of3, a lot of my freezing and bootloop were from of3 and using the old xposed.

The only time I use Ff is to flash the initial 5.0 rom (tried SS but it didn't want to boot without flashing the oc5 bootloader and kernel) and for xtreme music mod. Everything else gets flashed with SS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
TM-Build = debloated rom.

I do not understand why you are talking about having better luck with OC5 when your signature says you have a G900A...:confused:. But no matter. Thats about my extent of knowledge on a 870A. That it uses the OC5 kernel for 5.0...LOL. As for OF3...there is no custom rom for that...:rolleyes::laugh::D. Not for ME, I Hate Stock...:eek:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
So Happy Father's Day to whomever is a dad and still exists in this thread!

I do have a question for when someone comes here and looks. It is strange and I have known this for quite a while, but never asked it. SO, if a number is in your Contacts and that number calls you and leaves you a voicemail, in the log the number appears. However, if a number NOT in your contacts calls and leaves a voicemail, the number in the log is (I guess) the ATT Voicemail number, not the number that called. There is no trace of that number in the phone, only in the envelope of the actual voicemail.

So I am real lazy and do not feel like going back to Stock to test it. Is this a problem with this OC7 based intl rom or is this just the way Android always was.

Any opinions? I wonder if this same thing happens with that PA2 G900F rom, [MENTION=319261]Cap[/MENTION]?

THANKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joshua14:
Mine shows the numbers that call in my call log. Always has. I was using an app to get rid of text messages in the log because on this phone they have switched back and forth for the default view to be All Logs or All Calls. But this ROM has that feature built in. I look in Logs now and it shows the name from contacts with the number or just the number if not saved in contacts. I'm not sure why yours wouldn't be showing that way. I do remember seeing a contacts fix zip at some point on my way to where I am now with this ROM tho. Not sure if that's it for your problem tho.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers on here too!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Thanks for the try Josh and a special fathers day wish to you. Hope you had fun fishing this week.

Of course I have that fix, I got ALL fixes....LOL. So I found out what it really is and I cannot believe it. IF the phone does NOT answer (bad signal or in airplane mode or whatever), then it does not record it in the log (well how could it?). When service is back, the voicemail icon shows up, but it shows up in the log as the 772 voicemail number, not the real number that called. I wonder if that is the way it works with Android or is this particular to the ATT system? I am pretty sure that if that happened with an Iphone that it would work right. I will have to ask my friend who owns the plan and uses Rotten Apples.

So now I will wait for [MENTION=319261]Cap[/MENTION] to look at the thread and maybe see if he can duplicate it. A very fast test.

Maybe I should do the test myself by installing the G900F rom...NAW, TOO LAZY...LOL.
