Your making sense, never thought about it till I seen ur post.

Question is if u reboot ur phone, lets say to activate an XPosed Module and get stuck in a bootloop how can you log into SafeStrap to do a restore if you cannot get into your phone to use NCE Flasher?

Are we just screwed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ravenryan:
My alarm doesn't work :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Turns out even though ToolBox is turn on in Settings App it was not turned on in Notification pulldown tiles. Thinking a communication issue with Layers. Like I said before, most of my phone problems are of my own making....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
From what I understood from reading all the posts about NCE Flasher (I'm on the Active, just got the flasher 2 days ago) if you get stuck in a bootloop and need to restore, reboot your phone into download mode, and Odin the OA1 kernel...then after reboot the safestrap splash screen should appear. Maybe a good idea for someone to test this if it can't be confirmed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I've seen a few post about the alarm not working. Mine has worked each time i have flashed this rom. Leads me too think it's a bad flash or something that's getting installed after flashing. I haven't had any problems with mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rocknmj:
I think that unless we pack a little computer around that has Odin on it, we are hosed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ravenryan:
Well I changed mine to asop so let me try again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I've gotten in a bootloop recently. And not having a custom recovery sucks. But i always back my apps up with titanium before trying anything. If ibootloop i just pull the battery then boot into stock recovery and wipe data / factory reset and it boots back up. Just gotta do the initial setup then download titanium and restore apps. When you factory reset all it does is wipe your system of mods but not of the firmware that is on it. It don't actually put the ATT firmware back on the device. Our at least it has worked for me. I've had to do it twice in the past week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adrock74:
Yes, Odin the kernel works. Had to do it today
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] unk2009:
[MENTION=6403411]Ravenryan[/MENTION] I had the same problem, TM suggested a dirty flash which worked for me...I hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
So that being said restoring a backup is as simple as Odin kernel, restore, flash kernel, reboot. You obviously need computer access so if that's not a possibility at that time then you may want to refrain from tinkering with your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RVD26:
I see a GPS fix in Post #2, I don't see anything addressing the issue I'm having unless I'm missing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
2nd post. It said "fix for media provider" is below the download section
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
So i tried the aosp clock and alarm works fine. Weirdly enough the hot reboot after swapping them caused the app drawer to be weird and it setup my AccuWeather widget for me too. Its been unset since I added it back a few days ago. Weird and it put my location as somewhere I've never heard of... be sure to do a full reboot after messing with anything that reboots your device from tm settings. I'll have to update all those scripts to do a full reboot. Seems like its really hating the fast reboot on lollipop. Probably something to do with knox or the kernel. Not really sure.

Edit got drunk and forgot about my phone unlocking ib my pocket while at work. Guess I need to turn off home button wake lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Maybe to some of you on the Active, this is new, but whoever has an original G900A sure knows this stuff about SS. We been using it since I rooted around 10-2014 and months before that. The only thing that has changed is that before we went to LP, we did not have to worry about the kernel since it and the BL and SS were compatible, but now since BL is OA1 (and thanks to [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION], it is that way so we can go back to NCE and rebuild our phones if need be) and 5.0 kernel is OC4/OC5, we have to load the OA1 kernel to run SS since it is not compatible with OC4/5 and go back to the original kernel to boot back into the rom.

I really love FF and the backup files take up much less room, but several times i had a problem with restore. and then there is the Folder "0" problem at times during restore. Once it stopped on me in the middle of restore. That was bad. Had to go back to NCE because only part of a system was there and no way to boot into rom or SS. Hopefully when [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] makes a new version or it comes out of beta, the restore will work 100% of the time. FF is really super more convenient then SS, but SS is so so very reliable...

I like the phone and contact icons...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Yea sam I missed the messages one. I'll fix it before the themes done
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I never said anything was missed. I never criticize your great work!!! You think I even remember the icons in XDK??? I don't remember what time i went to bed this morning....LOLOL. :silly::rolleyes::cool::eek::laugh:

Did you like my Safestrap tutorial? I can't believe there are so many questions on something we have been using for a long time and that our phones depend(ed) on....

GOOD MORNING
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MetalHead66:
I'm using Alarm Clock Xtreme free version from play store and love it. Especially the option to set entire screen as snooze button as opposed to just a small button at the bottom of the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
TM is correcting my mistake below...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
If you get a bootloop you can odin flash the ng3 kernel for the g870a provided in the instructions for safestrap. Then restore a working backup.

Same with the g900a. Odin flash the one provided thsts ng3 i believe to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
So I was wrong, thks for the info. Don't remember reading how to get back into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
No. You would use the nce flasher.

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Hahahaha, i am stopping this before it starts all over again. Nothing against your reply Bernie...

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

.................. Thank you to TM for explaining the restore directions to me even though they are clearly written in the OP :eek: ....................... If you get stuck in a bootloop just pull the battery, go into Download (Power+Home+Volume Down), open ODIN on your PC and flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar that is in the OP and you will see SafeStrap again. ............
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Exactly I tried to make them as clear as possible and included it for both devices.

Sometimes an extra reboot is worth doing if it bootloops randomly. Just hold vol down + home key + power button until it vibrates and it'll reboot. If it doesn't work you'll have to use odin.

I'll clear up something else too that I see confusion about in here lately. To get safestrap working on lollipop you have to install it and use the appropriate flasher which I explained clearly in the instructions. It does not pop up off of reboot like it did in kit kat. Our kernel and bootloader needed to run lollipop doesn't support this as far as we know. This is the workaround we use that I posted in the op.

On another note I found a bunch of cool things I'll be working on adding in the future after I get this theme out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
I use it too. I got the paid version. Love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RVD26:
I'm calibrating my battery right now.

What's the quickest way to drain the battery?

Is there an app that will do it? If so, which one is recommended?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Not ROM related but...... Since so many here are living in the Tri-State area I found a cool exploit with the Dunkin Donuts app. If you have it you know they post coupons sometimes in it, when you use a coupon it disappears but if you clear the apps cache then reboot the coupon comes back :) ..... Just got my 5th 99cent Ice Coffee this week....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Cheapskate. [emoji2]

SM-G870 Peace

:confused: WHAT? WHAT? :confused:

OK, this is strange...Sorry...LOL

what is going on with XDA website today?....worse than ever...all those ads running in the background. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RVD26:
I'm asking what is the quickest way to drain my battery for calibration purposes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Let facebook messenger run or gps probably. Leaving the screen on for long times too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
What is "calibrating the battery" do. Never heard of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adrock74:
Its a myth..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Yeah just jack up your screen brightness and tell it to stay on for 10 min . That'll run it down quick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
To all that things battery isn't better on this rom. This is with minimal use today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration

In my opinion, when you do flash alot your battery gets confused. This is the app I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
I barely used it yesterday but I've been on it all afternoon today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
I use the samething, not really sure if it works but you must follow the directions to the tee, let battery drain then must power to 100% non stop.

50% say it does nothing 50% say it works.

I have tried a few but always found a new download then cleam flash the ROM works best.... Once you again that just how my phone works best......

Just started on the messages_candy app, really miss blk&blue, the 1 thing i can stand is the white email widget ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
I've got it themed already. Just have to go back and look at a few things. Today I worked on adding some more things to TM Settings and took a break from the theme. It was wearing me out. I've got alarm and bluetooth icon in status bar toggles working so you can turn them on/off and reboot systemui to see it take effect. Been working on the volume icons too for vibrate and silent. Haven't quite figured that out yet. I'm missing something there. More to come and I'm posting guides for each of the ones I add for other developers to use.

Back to the theme soon. Once I get a few things fixed and the framework-res and systemui themed I may release an alpha version of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Nutso LP Battery Stats

So as i commented when 5.0 first came out, WTF are these battery stats? Attached is the ONE screenshot (and currently only) of system battery stats. Compare that to the two of many pages of battery stats displayed by GSam Battery Monitor as shown by the other two screenshots.

What is wrong with this picture??? LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
I think some people just like playing with different apps....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RVD26:
I actually tried that already, but it was taking a LONG time (which I guess is a good thing in the big picture) to drain.

I ended up using an app called Battery Offender to drain it quicker. Still took a couple of hours to drain.

Yes, this is the app I always use when flashing a new rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I've seen several posts regarding GPS issues, which I haven't really followed in detail. For the record, however, I used it yesterday for the first time with this Rom on a day trip, and it worked flawlessly.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Faq in the op updated. Will add to it more soon!

Also [MENTION=4405010]parkerj7uc[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5429984]jimwick[/MENTION] are helping me with the theme. We will have that and a 2.1 update out at some point in the next few weeks probably sooner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stickman1981:
Will this work on 4.4.4 rooted stock in ss slot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joseste4:
Ive only had one issues since loading 2.0 and the media fix. It's random phone freezes every once in a while. GPS and everything else work flawlessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
[MENTION=2501222]talking[/MENTION] monkeys I'm just patiently waiting. Till ya get her all themed. Lol still on dk 1.1 already made the jump to lollipop but went back becuz of no viper. But once you get that theme worked out I'll probly jump again. And see if I can live without it . Just can't stand all the white.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Install instructions to upgrade are in the op. Read it all and understand how everything works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] juanwini:
is there any way to set 180 degrees rotation available ?

1st day with the rom, awesome. so far so good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
I'd have to look for it. I know it can be done
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nyxerosoir:
Gravity Box with xposed allows for that mod. Works perfectly.

Flashfire

Flashfire crashes each time I open it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stickman1981:
Same here the first time I boot it work now it won't open
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Maybe this means chainfire has a new update coming? I dont think its rom related. Wipe data for the app perhaps. Mine crashes too. Use safestrap instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] asferican20:
I think the consensus is that the beta expired. If you set your date and/or time to anything before 00:00:01 UTC 01Jun15 it still works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Anyone found a UPSM Manager that works with this ROM? The previous version for KitKat is not modifying the list of apps, and Google searching has been fruitless for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nyxerosoir:
I don't think its the ROM that is the problem. Its most likely Lollipop itself giving issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MercilessLTD:
Yes, hence why I said KitKat version of the app isn't working for this ROM. :)

From what I can tell, the app list(s) are at /data/data/com.sec.android.provider.emergencymode/databases/emergency.db in the tables launcheradd and launcherdefault. Gonna mod them and report back.

UPDATE: So this is the correct sqlite3 database. I removed all entries from launcheradd (because I only use four apps in UPSM). In launcherdefault, package is the app's package name, class is the intent name. I will attach the four I use for Phone, Hangouts, Chrome, and Sammy Clock. If you wish to find a different intent to add, simply download ManifestViewer from the Play Store. This app will show you the package name and allow you to view the AndroidManifest.xml for the package.

If you need specific instructions beyond this, I'll gladly spell it out, but if you need further instructions, I fear for bricks in UPSM mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Yo bro any luck with the note4 launcher or kids mode. I really wanna upgrade to 2.0 but i need kids mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nyxerosoir:
There's an xposed kids mode. You don't always have to use the factory default. 3rdparty can be just as good and most the time better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
I thought there was alot of problems with exposed??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nyxerosoir:
Depends on what you try to get out of it. If you plan on modding your phone like you were able to with kit kat then you're going to get a ton if problems. But anything else its just fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Follow the instructions in the op guys and use safestrap instead. You have to reinstall it once you're on 5.0 and follow that method to use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
So after u use nce flasher it will automatically put u into ss recovery and then flash what u need and when ur done flashing u always flash the oc4 kernel, basically thats it??? I never really liked SS because i was new to it and i used a rom slot and my phone would not boot after that pain in the a__
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Yea just be near a computer to use odin. In case you didn't actually install safestrap. If you use everything i provided and follow the directions it will work like that. Worst case is you have to use the extra ng3 kernel in odin to get back to safestrap. Or if it doesn't load into safestrap you can use the oc4 kernel for the g900a or oc5 for the g870a.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
Thata out because my pc is down. Oh well hopefully chainfire fixes flashfire
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mila4me:
is it possible to flash for a Tmobile 900T ? then modem and bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Should be. You won't have wifi calling but other than that with a tmobile kernel bootloader and modem it should run good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mila4me:
wow thanks for a fast reply will try to flash it now :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
Am I the only one that is having problems with my phone screen locking up during charging? I plug it in and after about five mins the screen is completely unresponsive. Unplugging does nothing nor does the power button. I have to eventually pull the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
It's ok here.

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Save the battery pull and hold volume down power key and home button until it vibrates and reboots. This one has been annoying me too and I will be trying to find the cause. It doesn't happen every time but the times it does it drives me insane.

Another thing I wonder if anyones noticed is the aosp unlock coming up while the phone is charging or needs charged. Its weird. If you unlock it it goes away and shows the charging text. Haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Nope. I've never seen either issue.

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
Lucky!

I was almost late for work a couple times because my alarm didn't go off. Also I don't know if this helps but I was having this same problem on Alliance. So maybe it's something with the lollipop firmware and not your rom?

Thanks for the quick responds and good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
I have not seen this issue, and I also use Daydream so when it's charging I leave the screen on. I wanted to ask (but don't wanna pester you) if you've noticed or looked into the music playback issue. It doesn't just happen on Bluetooth anymore, it happens when plugged into aux as well. Seems like it happens at the exact same amount of time every time it does....music just completely stops, when I hit play again the song restarts. Rebooting doesn't help. Funny thing is every time it happens I'm listening to music at work, I've tried to recreate it at home so I can grab a logcat and it doesn't happen when I want it to...any thoughts? I'm using PlayerPro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
Good idea using Daydream! Gave it a try and what do ya know...my daydream won't come on either. I'm really starting to hate lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
Did you choose colors or a live wallpaper?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stephenparrigin:
Colors and Pandora are my only two options. I chose colors and sill nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
I use Daydream with Dashclock widget. Works like a charm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] d34thbl00m:
Download Prismatic Free from play store and try using that, it's pretty cool looking :) To test, set screen timeout to 15 seconds, then plug phone in and let screen timeout on its own.

Dont get me wrong i love everything TM does hes awesome, but i want to try an s6 port rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ravenryan:
So do I.... But scared to find one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sbs8331:
Proabably goes without saying, but exercise caution and back it up.

TMS5 is my daily driver, but I was curious and tried to install the S6 Weather Widget and the S6 Experience Mod. They worked on Twis5ted, but I got a constant UI error on TMS5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
I got the s6 weather working flawlessly on my phone after u install it and it starts ctashing u have to get to weather daemon and wipe data and cache and it completely stops after that. I used the s6 experience theme also it was cool but i lost kids mode after i flashed the s6 theme , something i still cant figure out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Well with an s6 port I can try to get permission to port it but I wont be adding my themes or mods to it. I added the s6 apps I thought were really better to this rom.

The s6 system ui is why it causes force closes. I have a lot that I'm working on right now so I can't say I'll mess with it much. How did you guys get the s6 accuweather working and whats better with it? I need to decide if we want to use it before [MENTION=4405010]parkerj7uc[/MENTION] [MENTION=5429984]jimwick[/MENTION] and I theme the s5 one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Joehen873:
I installed albes 1 and it crashes like crazy but as soon as u wipe weather daemon cache and data it stops and runs awesome. I like it because its real clean looking and the weather page where u get the 5 day is pretty sweet looking. I also have been looking at alot of the international s6 ports and some have bugs , but theres one thats called something spacerocket jam or man or something that looks pretty dope so my opinion that 1 would be awesome to port that 1 but ii have no clue how to do that and the zombie rom for International s5 looks pretty sweet but i think its a custom kernel.
