alright, should i use odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
Do you have Safestrap installed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] deepshah420:
i do not..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
You'll have to flash the stock NCG tar and root via towelroot. Then you'll need to download SuperSU and follow the 4.4 install instructions. Sadly, you'll lose anything on your internal sd card.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

Alright, ill try that. but first I'm going to do Dalvik/cache.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
Flashable zip or just archive of files?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Whatever is more convenient.

After wiping, I'm still not able to get the UI working. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
I would suggest deleting it and rebooting so you have no SystemUI. Then, reinstall the one included in the ROM. After that, try the nexus install again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Hmm, still no luck.

This would probably be bothersome, but is it possible to make a new version of the ROM that includes the UI?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
I was doing some experimentation with installing the AOSP Settings so I signed every apk with the uid "android.uid.system" with my custom key. I put all of the signed apk's into a flashable zip and pre included the Nexus UI signed with my key and it worked no problem. I think if I sign every apk in the rom (except the ones that are updated in google play) that it will work. This will take some time though but I am going to give it a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Do you wanna give me the exact steps you did in the same order?

For some reason I still can't get into work.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] deepshah420:
might be a stupid question, how do we install 5.0 if there is no root for lollipop yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Follow the 4.4 install instructions.

There is root for lollipop, you just don't use towelroot.

Flashing Verizon S5 to Work on T-Mobile Network

Hi everyone, I a bought a Verizon S5 - G900V (build number LRX21T.G900VVRU1BOC4) from Craigslist because I bricked my S4 trying to install Lollipop on it. The phone is great, but I have T-Mobile service and as a result I am getting crazy dropped calls and intermittent data coverage - to boot I have problems accessing my voicemail properly and most importantly I can't use the services that I've grown so accustomed to: Wifi-Calling and Hotspot.

Before I proceed to root this phone and flash another ROM - can someone tell me if its even possible to:

1. Flash custom ROM on a G900V?

2. Is there a ROM that will enable Wifi-Calling/Hotspot (if so which)?

3. Am I able to install the stock G900T ROM to access all of T-Mobile services?

4. What's the best thing to do?

Thank you,

Nick
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
I have not heard of someone using this phone on the T-mobile network but the most likely reason that you're not getting good service is because this phone does not support all of T-mobile's LTE bands. But to answer yout questions:

1. It is possible to flash a custom ROM on the G900V. This is one of many.

2. I don't think Verizon offers wifi calling so I don't think any ROMs have this supported. Most ROMs do have hotspot. This one has hotspot enabled but I forgot to add it into the Settings app but any free wifi hotspot app from the play store can turn it on.

3. I don't think they are compatible

4. I'm not sure about your situation but I would look into getting a T-mobile phone if you have T-mobile service because it makes everything easier to deal with.

If you need any assistance I'm always here to help :)

Mods App

I am having great success on the Mods App and it will probably be ready by Monday or Tuesday. I have managed to switch between the Stock SystemUI and the Nexus SystemUI seamlessly so that fixes all of the install issues. I also plan to add a mod for enabling the navigation bar, but I can't think of anything else at the moment so if you have any ideas please let me know!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Along with what DROIDRAZ said, you could probably make this post in the general or support( probably support) forum and you'll probably get your issues fixed.

1:Yes. VZW bootloader is locked, so you can only install TouchWiz based roms.

2: VZW doesn't support this feature, so sadly no.

3: It would have to be ported over, but even then there is no guarantee.

4: Try adding T-Mobiles LTE bands? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

How can i install while keeping stock os?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
1: Are you already rooted?

2: Do you have safestrap installed?

3: What version of Android are you running?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] J32A:
I am rooted running kitkat

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

also have safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Something i can think of would be just installing this ROM into ROM slot 1 and not stock, you would then you have to reboot into download mode and flash the firmware file found under the 4.4 install instructions using ODIN.

Downside of safestrap as of now is that every time you want to use it on lollipop you have to flash the NCG kernal and after you are done using safestrap, reflash the OC4 kernal.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
Version 0.4

Version 0.4 is uploading right now and as soon as it is done I will put the link in the OP. The only thing I have added is the mods app and it has worked for me 100% of the time. This app allows you to install the Nexus SystemUI or the Stock SystemUI and enable the navigation bar. I will implement more mods as I get more ideas, so if you want a mod implemented please tell me about it and I will do my best to add it.

There is a little issue with the app. The first time you use it and try to install a mod, a toast saying "Reboot" will pop up. Don't reboot until you've accepted the superuser dialog. The toast pops up a bit early on the first time, but other than that it is all good.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zimgir124:
Anyone with the crash issue, here are things I've noticed.

1: Don't use Fingerprint lock.

2: Constant crashing may be resolved with a reinstall of the ROM. If you switch to the Nexus UI wait until the FreedomMods app asks you for root privilege before you reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] UnshiftedStorm:
Any way to actually go to the setting and disable the fingerprint lock? Everytime I hit "Ok" after it crashed it takes me back to the home screen.

Sadly no, you can flash NCG stock firmware, root it, then follow the 4.4 install instructions though

If I did a factory data reset, wouldn't the ROM still be on the device? Then I could just flash OA8 and boom magic it's fixed? xD

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
First flash the N12 Kernel to see if you have safestrap installed. If you don't, then you should flash the BOC4 kernel and then factory reset through stock recovery. This will delete your sdcard though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] UnshiftedStorm:
Could you link those please?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
I have no idea what it's doing. Try and flash one of the full tars to N12 and start from the beginning.

Also for future reference, there is an app that will install a KitKat Kernel for safestrap. All you need is to download the OC4 Kernel that you can flash in safestrap after you're done. No odin required. I will link it here

Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
Do you mind posting screenshots of the battery graph and your screen-on time?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DROIDRAZ:
Usually the battery life is not so great on first install but let it charge fully from a low percentage and it's fine. I usually get 4 hours screen on time, my max I've gotten is 5 hours.

I did remove the restrictions, but for now you need to download any free hotspot app in the play store to turn it on. Also, if you install the nexus systemui mod and run a hotspot app once, it'll give you a hotspot toggle.
