I have a g870a and following instructions to flash this rom bricks my phone to download now only, every time. Should I try flashing in ss instead of flashfire?

Also has anyone tried, successfully or otherwise, to enable lte band 8 and other 3g bands?

You have to odin the oc5 kernel per op. Also discussed a few posts before yours.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Whenever i get around to it i'll do a new release of v7 that doesnt flash any kernel as per TM's suggestion, and it may possibly come with the active key fix that dynamically installs based on if you are on an active or not.

I have been having random reboots here lately. Has anyone else had this issue? I have g-900a on an s5 with this rom. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
This is the 1st rom I have ever flashed. I have gs5 g-900a. My question is how to I flash to another rom from this rom? And how do I do a backup of this rom as it is currently on my phone so that I can flash back when I decide to? I have flash fire installed. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamSand:
I'm torn. The teal colors, and white backgroundsand make me wanna :eek: Any actual benefits to upgrading to lollipop? I didn't notice any, so I went back to 4.4.2 for the time being.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chris181rt:
If you still have safestrap(custom recovery) you can do an easy backup(twisted version where you won't have to start from scratch/personal data&rom) to flash back. I dont carry safestrap on my 900a because I think it is just easier for me NOT to carry backups..Just the ROMs I want to try on my extSD card.. I keep everything really imp on my card.. you should try TMS5(what I'm using after Twi5ted) if you like the blue theme.... or Sixpierience if you are looking for the newest/most S6ish type ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
I don't have safestrap installed. Can I make a backup using flashfire? Do I have to downgrade or anything to flash another rom from twisted or can I just flash another rom and do a full wipe of course? Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] swanem:
Great ROM so far. Fast, super fast, but... The issue I am having is I have run out of space. I'm coming from 4.4.2 Unity ROM, and upgraded to this. I did a system wipe, but I have run out of space. I'm on an 870A, and I used to have 3gb left when running unity and all my Apps were installed. Now I'm at 500mb and still have about 5 apps left to go. Where is the issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TEFjLONjDON:
My experience with v7.

Ok So, Twi5ted-lollipop rom..version "V7" did work on my Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy S5 sm-g900t1 baseband = G900T1UVU1BOH . flashing straight from stock 5.1.1 with latest ota updates.. After odin flashing TWRP.. Only

My device uses the same stock firmware as the T-mobile variant "sm-g900t". Maybe this will help anyone out there on one of these two S5 variants that is wether or not to flash this rom..

I did like the ROM. It installs fast and frankly it does everything fast.. this ROM is so fast that almost makes it seem like the network speeds are boosted to...

Somebody definitely waved a big magic wand here on this speed deamond.

TWRP was successful at injecting SU after flashing. Gapps acted up a bit until I finally found an older more compatible version.. Stock for 5.0.* should be fine... then just let Play Store update itself. then just let place tore up in itself.

According to system / about phone.... this ROM was based on 5.0.0. Everything works really well. I did have issues with call volume in the beginning but that seemed to straighten itself out within the first hour.

I definitely love the fact that Wi-Fi calling was working just fine, and the Galaxy essentials app hadn't been removed. This is definitely the fastest TouchWiz ROM for Android 5.0.* that I have played well so far.

Granted I'm sure that most of the success was due in part to following directions and doing a complete wipe. I will never recommend doing dirty flashes.

Another added bonus is the themes installer. You can find it if you long press on the home screen. It brings up the theme selector much like in the galaxy S6.

All in all: I tried this out on my phone for about two days. I have since moved on to Exodus, which I really liked and plan to go back to someday, just because I prefer the lighter wait of AOSP roms and I especially enjoy nightly updates keeping me up to date.

Currently I have Resurrection Remix version 5.5.5 and I love it. I'll probably keep this for little while as I figure out which rom to play with next. Once I've had my fun with trying some of the biggest rom names out there. Ill be sure to drop back in and let everyone know which one I have decided to settle on.

All in all I must say Twi5ted Lollipop ROM v7..... was definitely an awesome fast ROM. You have nothing to lose, and only precious time to regain so give this one a real shot...

If I could make only one feature request. It would have to be for a slightly better pixel quality on the boot animation. I do realize that I can change on my own using themes, but love the idea behind this boot animation. I think it just needs to be cleaned up a little bit.

Lastly, I'd like to give a big thank you to all the developers and testers who worked on making this project shine..

v6 or v7 for g870a? I saw something earlier in the thread saying v6 for the active but it was kinda confusing

Sent from my G870a on 38's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
V7 or v6 will work, active key will not work though, and if it doesn't boot try flashing the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
Will the active key fix from Tm work? I've tried it on another rom with success but can't remember if it was Alliance or the last time I tried this rom. I had some issues running this rom once before, but it was more user error than anything (not flashing the g870a oc5 kernel)

New Theme?

......... If you haven't looked in the AT&T Galaxy S5 Themes and Apps section lately we have been doing more than a few Themes for the TMS3_3,0 Rom and was wondering if you guys on Twisted would like a Theme or 2 that we have done ? If [MENTION=5906506]Rakuu[/MENTION] will allow us to then what Theme would you guys like? ..........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Its more of a question for thesickness, he'd probably allow it since he's done with the rom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:

Could you do one like the gpe 4.1 that was on xdk, but use the hot chick's from one of twisted's built in themes as a pull down and the messager, settings, and other backgrounds with the "name_it" or "misc3" background ? I'm currently on twisted from when tried to go to tms3. Had an issue due to me renaming a theme and made the mistake of thinking it was the actual Rom. I was nowhere near Internet or my laptop and the only thing I had on my SD was twisted so I figured I'd run it for awhile. I attached the hot chick's I was referring to

[MENTION=4405010]parkerj7uc[/MENTION] is joining me and he has the 870A, i believe he was able to modify the ROM so it can flash the Active without switching anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
It should mostly work out of the box on 870A on v7, we removed the kernel so you'll only need to flash the active key fix from TM or just don't use the active key.

Edit: I set flashfire to reboot into download mode after flashing the rom, then flashed the oc5 kernel with Odin. It might be possible to set up flashfire to flash the rom then the flash able oc5 kernel from the ng3 flasher thread, I haven't tried it. I had to flash the active button, then use the active apk to get the active app working.

I recently switched carriers from AT&T to Ting, which uses T-Mobile's network. I unlocked and ported my G900A phone over. I'm a long time user of the TMS5 Rom. I see that Twi5sted has WiFi calling capability. Given that my phone is now unlocked and using T-Mobile's network, will that feature work on my device? Thanks!

Update: I decided to flash Twi5ted, and the WiFi calling seems to work well. While Ting's rates are pretty low (with my limited use of data, my family plan cost will probably be cut in half), they do consume minutes for WiFi calling. The benefit to me will be if the are any mobile signal issues.

Update #2: I'm finding the wifi calling functionality to be unreliable. Sometimes the function invokes, sometimes not, the setting being grayed out and displaying "enabling", sometimes indicating an insufficient wifi signal, a crock since I'm right next to my router. I'll see how it goes for another day, but the function's performance is disappointing so far.

Update #3: Well, the jury's still out but...things are looking up a the moment. I found a conversation on the T-Mobile customer forum on wifi calling on the LG G3. Many indicated that problems starting after upgrading to Lollipop. Some dropped back down to KitKat and resolved the issues. At the end of a long string of posts, one person said they resolved the problem by removing and re-inserting the SIM card. I gave that a shot on my G5 and, lo and behold, the function has returned! It went off once, and I rebooted, whereupon it reinvoked. I'll test it for a few more days.

Final Update: I've concluded that the WiFi calling capability is not reliable. It turns off when the device goes to sleep, and the only way to reinvoke it is to reboot. Not worth the trouble.

What kind of a response was that? He had a legitimate question, one of which i have as well. I installed the rom, as i have many others yet this is the only one i cant get viper to work with. issues with busybox, turned off mountspace separation and viper reads busybox and installs but it doesnt run. it says its not enabled in driver status. ive tried everything

OMG! im so frustrated with this ROM!! pls help .. i cant get V4A to work for some reason. its worked on all other roms.

There's a zip you have to flash, no need to change selinux mode, can't do it in this model anyway. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By1Zk8PEZHmhak9FUlQ3NmJzSkk/view?usp=drivesdk

Don't flash that directly, flash the three zips in it and out the text file in etc/init.d
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
ive tried this. Uninstalled viper with 3c toolbox. then flash the 3 files. Viper doesnt show up in apps. so i go to system/priv-app and find the apk there and install. it asks me to install drivers then reboot. i do. but it still says status is ABNORMAL and enabled says NO. ive done everything... i guess i can reflash these files....ugh ive done it at least 5 times with same result. Should the viper app show up by itself after flashing? mine doesnt EDIT: i flashed zips with viper still installed and same thing. it doesnt work. i will try removing V4A drivers, then flashing the zips. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME BTW. .EDIT#2 still not working after flashing for a 7th time. im doing everything as i should be but it still says status ABNORMAL and not enabled

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Try placing the files manually and checking the permissions, definitely worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
im not sure what files youre referring to. The zip files? If so where do they go? im kind of a noobie i hate to admit.. im literally so frustrated at this device right now ive read this forum through so many times looking for anything i missed. nothing. before placing any files should i remove V4A completely? can that be done through a system app uninstaller? or do i have to manually remove files to get rid of viper and then try again with adding the files manually?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Instead of flashing, unzip the zips and place the files it would be flashing in their place. Yes, uninstall the driver in the viper app and replace the apk with the one provided in the zips, make sure all permissions are correct, then reboot and try to install again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CorporalCactus:
i feel like a complete waste of time to you.. idk why you bother LOL .......Unzip the files and put them where exactly? im sorry i read that post numerous times and im confused on what to do with the unzipped files......If you can successfully help me get this working, id gladly gift you AD free, if you want it that is. i didnt even know there were ads lol

Hi Racuu or The Sickness. I am going to try (again) to install MultiSystem later tonite and Hsbadr says to flash a rom in a virtual environment, it needs to be in a certain way that is not always done. I cannot find the post, but he said something about if it is not done in that newer way, that it might flash to stock and not to virtual. First, do you understand what i am saying and then will it be cool to flash in MS?

Thank you Racuu. Finally a rom port from you and of course to The Sickness for allowing it.
