Well I have learned the hard way in the past. I do not know what u did or tried to do with your phone, but if you know how to Odin the G900A-Downgrade-to-NCE.tar and u have towel root somewhere (these are all found in XDA) and FF is in your google play store account, it will all only take a short time to do it. if you have not done this before, then i suggest after going back to NCE, then after the phone is setup, you either have to copy towel root to internal because there is no access to the sdcard initially in 4.4.2, but u can copy it to the internal from your pc or download it to there and run it, reboot, install FF. Then go right to 5.0 with FF, setup phone again and install FF again and go straight to TMS5 3.0 or 2.0, whichever. Also when you do the first 2 setups, it would be best to turn the wifi off right after it sets up all the way, no need to update all that crap for nothing, it all gets thrown out anyway. If you do not have FF, then u will have to do extra steps after going to NCE to get SS like installing Busybox. Most of this is in the GREAT OP IN THIS THREAD.

The G900A is a very hard phone to brick and between what [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5266065]talkingmonkeys[/MENTION] and lets not forget [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], have done has saved our little community. AS I SAID BEFORE BLAME GOOGLE, SAMSUNG AND ATT FOR MAKING OUR LIVES MISERABLE AT TIMES...LOL.

JUST DO IT!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK (YOU WON'T NEED ANY IF YOU LISTEN TO THIS POST!!!!

NOW I NEED TO GET READY TO GO TO THE CEMETERY AND THEN LUNCH WITH THE FAMILY...FUN, FUN, FUN (NO, IT WILL BE....)

I will back later in the day, but there are MANY in here who can help you!!!!!

I have a question. I've been using 3.0 tms build for a few days with no issue. I used the ladyfix zip to get rid of the lady with the black gloves from my dial pad. I wanted to use screen mirroring, but it was non exsistent on tms build. So I flashed the undebloated build. And the theme. Now my question is. ..how are you guys getting rid of the girl with gloves from the dial pad from the full rom version? The ladyfix zip says to only use with tms version. I tried the other zip that you have to unzip and add a photo and rezip and flashed, but doesn't change anything. I went back a few pages, but nothing has worked. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
I've been having having to do battery pulls multiple times a day due to random freezes, usually while charging. Running TMS5 3.0 undebloated, with the tmdebloater. My suggestion is DO NOT use the debloater. Also having issues with the AOSP clock because alarms don't work.

I can't seem to get the ladyfix to work. You simply flash it with flashfire, right? It removes from the dialer (with stock, not custom, keys) but no the contacts or in-call screen. Huge bummer. Other than that this ROM is amazing. Thanks for all the hard work put in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
Me, too. I had the issue with previous release and with this one prior to flashing debloater. I read a suggestion about flashing the media fix from Alliance, but that didn't resolve it.

Keep in mind that an alternative to battery pull is to hold down vol-down+power+home until boot starts.

Agree with your assessment of the ROM despite this issue.

......... I believe a few pages back we had some guys disabled the 3min battery animation and that helped with the charging freezes. I would make the battery something plain with no animation charging and see if that works for you........ I'll look into the Ladyfix in a bit for ya....... we removed her from the RED theme and going just black again ..........

........... the fix removes the picture of the lady background thats all, should work in FF but I would install SS because FF has permission issues when flashing........ This on is just black I think - Link = https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjplekmwa7wmg07/TM_3.0_DialerIamageChanger-dark.zip?dl=0 .....

.............. I believe [MENTION=4405010]parkerj7uc[/MENTION] said it was an issue with the app itself and we cannot mod apps from the play store so he suggested emailing the developer, sorry..........

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

............ I really suggest installing SafeStrap and only using it to flash, FF has alot of permission problems and people have had to flash ROMS 3 times before it would work. SS is alot more reliable.............
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Two days ago i was the one who had the freezing problem . I did flash the media fix and changed the 3minit battery icon and charging animation to 1 and it fixed it . Though i am not sure which on of those really did.

Here you go: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62031864&postcount=2343

But just to warn you, I did install it, but it made some of my apps unreadable when looking at certain things. For example it was impossible to read forum section titles in the XDA app, and in Google Chrome app you cant read the settings options. So it seems there's always a tradeoff, however parker did happen to create a fix to revert back to the blue text setting, so you can always change back :)

I have started looking into the contact problem, I had to take the weekend off due to my 5 year wedding anniversary, I'm back now and will try to see what i can do. Its baby steps for me because i am learning.

Just so everyone does know, if TM leaves I will not take over this thread, i will help and answer questions and make themes until i move to a different phone.

Just to give you guys a idea, I spent 3 hours yesterday turning framework, systemui, and settings to green. I still have about 12 more apks to do, just wanted to let you know how time consuming this is.

Thank you all for using this rom and for your criticism and help solving problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] twistedvip:
If your GPS doesn't work when you flash the phone with 3.0, I would recommend first opening up the Maps app. It should redirect you to installing a Google Play update or something along those lines. Update that and then restart your phone (not usually necessary, but doesn't hurt). That's how I fixed my GPS without having to flash anything else. I'd recommend just reflaahing the ROM honestly cause idk what exactly that GPS fix package actually does.

As to Sam's rant, since you're a computer science person, you should know that it bugs that **** out of programmers to hear people constantly complaining about the same issues. You can't fix all the issues, there will always be some. The problem is, you just have to decide what issues can be fixed in a later patch that won't affect people's actual experience. Then ofcourse there's the issue of everyone can experience different issues on their phones. From your past posts of bugs, I hadn't experienced a single one of them. He simply can't do anything about that sometimes. Even companies like Google and Microsoft have those same kind of problems when releasing an update to the public. Sure it is great to have the community give you a list of bugs to help you fix them up. What is not good and causes more anger than anything is repeating yourself over and over again over the same small issues. The 3.0 release may have been a tadbit too early, but honestly it was a great and practically perfect release. Stop over exaggerating and be the professional computer sciencist you claim to be.

Keep up the great work guys! :D

Here is a link to my drop box. It has various dialer backgrounds that i have found on the net and converted to fit our phone. Feel free to download as you wish. I will add a preview folder soon so that you can see the pic before downloading. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yer2apb5ir239dk/AACNKeLwbVdd7_CwObNi_CIOa?dl=0

This will change your background for your dialer background, logs, favorite and contacts background screen.

I have tested this with TWRP and Safe Strap. Boot into recovery, install zip, and reboot. (If using SS don't forget to flash your kernel before rebooting). I have had 2 instances where it froze while upgrading the app on reboot, I'm not sure why it does this but just hold volume down +power+home button and it'll boot up fine after that. Or pull the battery which ever you prefer.

Edit:

Preview folder has been added.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I must have done something wrong, because after flashing with SS it tells me that my dialer/phone app is not installed.

Regarding the freeze: That's a known issue with TMS5 whenever a cache wipe is done. A minor annoyance at most, and the remedy described here when it happens is easy enough to invoke. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Which one did you install. I'll look at it. I've installed them all and they worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I'll pull it from the drop box and look at it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Might have been a bad download for you. I just pulled it from the drop box and flashed and all is well.

The easiest way I know of is to Odin it back to NCE to get rid of root and make it new like it came out of the box. anyone disagree?

get the tar file here and go into Download Mode and flash it thru Odin:

i might also set the phone up again when it boots and then do a factory reset. they probably wont look, but i dont know. at least it will show it was used once. that's what i would do not knowing what they are capable of looking at.

In terms of battery life and speed, do you know which is faster? I'm running your tms5.0 right now. Also, is a launcher needed for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
I've seen this asked before about the launcher and I'm not sure what you mean? A launcher comes with the rom if you want a different one feel free to use it. Touchwiz launcher is usually pretty bloated compared to nova.

As far as battery life and speed go they both seem the same to me. Same base. Its more of a do you want the best rom you could have that has a lot of customization that can be too much sometimes or do you like how I make my rom. As far as features AllianceROM will always win which is why its the only ROM I ported.

PROBLEM

Safestrap system not active but installed. If I go to recovery from safestrap it just restarts normally. hold power while it's on normally and select restart > recovery, it goes to stock recovery. And there when I click update from ABD it wont let me look through the device storage it asks for a specific file name and wont let me do anything. Any idea? I tried SELinux already but it didn’t work.

EDIT: I did the steps and NCE flasher again to reinstall the ROM to get to Safestrap recovery again and it says "ROM Slot: Stock" at the top in red. Would that be why? Should I change it to another slot?

EDIT 2: Reflashing ROM did not help, same position as before. Even though I let the boot animation go all the way without restarting. Even if I boot to recovery in Safestrap recovery after I NCE Flashed, it goes to stock recovery. Then when I rebooted it from there, I did see the screen where I choose safestrap recovery on the bottom left or continue on the bottom right, which otherwise is not there after I flash TMS3.0. However continuing gave a black screen.

EDIT 3: So my phone had soft bricked from flashing via flashfire, I had to get a VM and then odin and flash the OC4 to fix it. Then I saw an article going over safestrap install and saw the "not active" status is normal but obviously the lack of functionality isnt. So I guess my question is not how to get the active status but how do I get safestrap recovery to be functional? By functional I mean that recovery or continue screen on boot up and booting to recovery loading Safestrap.

So this might be a bad time, and I know many people have had freezing issues, but I just got home from work and it seems to be something about connecting to WiFi that makes my phone freeze.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stryke_the_Orc:
Thread cleaned.

Couple of things here gentlemen:

If you are having issues with any ROM you flash, you got fair warning that anything you do with your device is your choice. No one else is responsible for that decision but you.

If you are having issues with a ROM that the developer has stated is not finished, state your piece for the sake of submitting a bug report (accompanied by a logcat would be preferred) and move on, no one wants to hear you whining about it for three pages.

Just as your mother used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Period.

Follow the rules you agreed to when you created your account. Simple really, yet no one seems to grasp that...

Developers have lives outside of XDA, they are not chained to a PC somewhere in our server stacks to serve your self-entitled whims of grandiose pompousness.

Also,

If you received a PM, report it. This has gone on long enough and doesn't need to continue in private as well.

Keep it friendly, keep it civil and keep it on topic.
