[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
Kies is a automatic delete in all my roms. Only thing it's good for is stock rooted. And I don't build stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
Thank you for the advice. Is there an easy way to move my contacts from the kies backup file on my pc to my phone? Thank you all again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
I'm not sure how to transfer them like that. I always just use my Google account to backup my contacts. I've never had a problem. Everytime i flash a new rom all i have to do is just set my Google account back up (which i have to anyway for the play store)and all my contacts are loaded back to my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
This is a great rom. Thank you for it. I have my contacts back and rom is running great. Xposed is working and I am happy with all of it. Now I need to go through and see what works and what doesn't. I tried car mode by turning it on with the tile, but nothing happened. So now I will go exploring through the rom. But thank you for all the help and hard work you put into this. It's incredible!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bbrita:
I was wondering if anyone was having any problems when texting, sometimes my phone just randomly restarts when I'm about to send a text. I really love this rom and I know twisted said he was retiring but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dorqus:
No issues here, but i don't use the Samsung messaging aigo, I use yaata instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] unknownyello:
No issues at all using the stock messing apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
I have a question. I installed this rom and I love it. I enabled car mode and was connected to Bluetooth in my truck. But when I turned on car mode, nothing happened. I saw somewhere what the car mode screen is supposed to look like but I never got that screen or anything. Did I do something wrong or am I missing something? I have a G-900A running this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harleyusa59:
Love your rom after the frist reboot it kept restarting my phone? Are you going to fix this issue? I would love to use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nathanleagan:
I'm having screen flickering issues now ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratmkicksass:
Hi... FYI and correct me if Im wrong but the main V7 download is dorqus version, which he packaged up with oc4, so if you have S5 active just odin OC5 kernel and you should be good to go...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GandalfGrayhame:
Does't work on the G870A

I've flashed this twice using the method described at the beginning of the message (including updating my phone to 5.0 rooted) , despite my rank on this forum, I've flashed a series of phones (all but one was a Samsung, the other was a Nexus 5 )..

I can honestly say this doesn't work on G870A, so you may want to remove the G870A mention from this rom.

This isn't a put down, the rom looks great, and it would be a great boon if it did actually work on G870A, but it doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Hmm, worked great on my att s5 active.

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] radtech777:
GS5 Active as well. Yeah, no problems when I tried it a while back either. Good luck man.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
I couldn't get it to work for me either. Put me in bootloop and then soft bricked when I tried to get into recovery. Through a bunch of trial and error, I finally got into download mode and had to flash ne4 firmware and just went back to alliance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
I have a s5 active aswell i have installed this v7 twisted before using flashfire but now i just tried and it i got kicked to the stock recovery. i redid my phone from ne4 back to lollipop from muniz and tried flashing twisted again thinking i had done something wrong but same thing happened i think something happened with flashfire when they did the update last month or what ever when they had the time run out and noone could use it. i am gonna test with safestrap when ever i get my phone redone from ne4 to oc5 again....

also to note. the first time i tried to install twisted today i was coming from tm2.0. i had safestrap installed using the nce flasher stuff so when i tried doing flashfire to install twisted i got rebooted after the install to the stock recovery. i pulled battery and rebooted and was able to get into safestrap in which i just reflashed the oc5 kernel and sure enough i was booted back into tm2.0. so Flashfire didn't wipe anything or write anything. just made me loss boot so i was sent to the stock recovery or safestrap if pressed the button in time.

second time install i didn't have safestrap installed so only had stock recovery....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
Yea, I tried one more time with a fresh download to see what would happen and still the same thing. It looks like it's un mounting something right before it goes to reboot, then goes straight to recovery. I tried all kinds of different fixes to keep from having to Odin ne4 then go through all the bs again to get lp with root. I'm not sure wtf I did but the rom finally decided to work. There were a bunch of fc's but I was able to get flash fire to restore my alliance BU. Not looking like it's playing well with the active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
have u tried v6 by chance?

ok think i found the issue i will be testing it when i fully wake up in the morning lol 2am just woke up and had a idea lol. last thing the rom does on install which if done wrong will boot u to stock recovery is flashing the kernel. back one page [MENTION=3498992]ratmkicksass[/MENTION] posted the kernel was oc4 (which is for s5) and not OC5 (which is for s5 active). i have checked the kernel in v7 and found the file size to be different then the stock oc5 kernel. so i have replaced it and will be reflashing it when i get up in the morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
You may be right. I don't think I flashed v7. I may have stopped at 6. I vaguely remember reading something about odin the s5 kernel after flash.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
well i flashed v7 and the OC5 kernel behind it and still nothing same error. from what i can tell V6 should work as is. V6 if i am reading the install correctly doesn't have kernel install. it only installs the rom. V7 has kernel changes. still i don't see why it wouldn't work if i flashed the oc5 kernel after the v7 install but i am gonna try v6 next. i am wondering what updates i will loss going to v6....

ok i was wrong.... go to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g870a-ng3-flasher-safestrap-method-t3118898

bottom of first post is the odin rdy kernels for the g870a ( make sure u get the OC5 and not NG3). pop that into the AP slot after your done installing the rom and u will load into the rom after reboot.

if u haven't used the ng3 flasher/Safestrap method i would highly suggest using it as a backup. U can still use flashfire all u wantafter you install Safestrap but with safestrap if the kernel or something gets messed up atleast u have a chance SS will work and u can just restore ur ss nandroid backup and not have to go through the whole NE4 process again. Flashfires backup and restore process isn't 100% yet that i know of . alot of bugs with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratmkicksass:
[MENTION=6063967]jasonj711[/MENTION] did you try flashing OC5 kernel behind Twistedv7 in flashfire? I wasnt sure if that would work... I just used ODIN to flash OC5... [MENTION=6797067]GandalfGrayhame[/MENTION] did you give up? Just try it again but download oc5 kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/att-...ethod-t3118898 and have ODIN installed. Open up ODIN, have the OC5 ready to go, and when our phones done flashing Twisted V7, it should automatically go into download mode, connect to computer, flash with ODIN and POOF... magic...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Yea that's what I did. I tried flashing a flash able oc5 kernel from the ng3/oc5 flasher for safestrap but it didn't work. I pushed Muniz oc5 kernel tar with Odin and it worked. I am temper to erase the kernel image out of the v7 rom and rewrite the update script to not do that step and see if that works. But will wait a few days cause I really don't wanna redo my phone for the 7th time since yesterday lol. I might just make a nandroid in safestrap and then try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratmkicksass:
Tell me about it... It took like 5 "fresh" installs and reinstalls to get it to work LOL...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] the_dealer:
Why in the hell does my ss not stick around after I revert back to the oc5 kernel? I was using the nce flasher for g870, followed the instructions, but once I reboot, ss is no longer there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Hey guys, sorry for my extended absence, I'm back now though. Very sad to see The Sickness go. As for my future with porting roms, I may be done for a while as well, I'm not a flashaholic by any means so I don't have much interest in other roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Flash NG3 flasher, reboot and ss should be there. Flash oc5 kernel, reboot and ss recovery is hidden because it doesn't work with oc5.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
I have G900A and I have v7 of this rom. Viper is loaded in the rom, but I can't seem to get it to work? Any advice? Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
If it isn't working u gonna flash a file in to make it work. It is in the viper mod Forum section I'll see if I can find it. Tms2.0 has the files but not sure if he edited them just for his rom. I'll test it in a sec and let u know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dorqus:
Try these links: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61633348&postcount=1897

I've not tried it yet, but I'm going to probably this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Yep that link works. U have to delete the viper4android already installed and install the new one u download. For some reason the mods won't work with the pre-installed one I tried a dozen ways and nothing but Uninstalled and installed new one and worked like a charm. Some have said after flashing the zips that viper wasn't installed. Just go to system/priv-app and u will find the viper folder first check the permissions and make sure it is set the same as the others then just go in the file and u will see the apk. Just install it then open app and install drivers and restart and ur good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I was under the impression you need selinux permissive to use V4A on lollipop, has that changed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dorqus:
One of the files fixes what you need to make it work... it's the last link in that post.

It runs this command:

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"

You put that into /etc/init.d/viper4android - it's all documented in that post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
For the G900A that arent locked yes but the g870a ours is locked so we can't changed the selinux. This the the work around for the selinux if can't be disabled or permissive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
There arw no g900as that are not locked, with mutisystem you can get it to act permissive but nothing works, i've tried it my self and even posted about it earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Yea that's what I thought. Friend tried multisystem but couldn't get it to work. Talkingmonkey got it to work on his but was to buggy for him to really use it. I was waiting for it to be worked on a bit more before I started tinkering with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ya me and him were the main people messing with it from what i saw. I expected there to be some more development on it after being gone for 2 months, pretty dissapointed there wasnt since its the closest we got to a recovery at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rpaulin:
I have v7 of this rom installed on Sg-900A. My question is how do I get viper to work? It's already included in this rom but I can't get it to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Are you kidding me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Just thought i'd post this here, got face unlock working, i can confirm it works on this rom, you might have to manually set perms if you use flashfire http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3156125
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
I'm still trying to get it to work. I have a g870a so might not work. I been playing with permissions. I flashed it with FF but it didn't install it. It put the files in but the app didn't install. After I changed the permissions some and installed it I got it to show in the trusted settings but everyone I go to it I get to start the setup I get the the page where it tells me to holds at eye lvl and be in a lighted room. When I click continue if force closes. Gonna check dumpstate and check some things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
You wont see any app, the app is just the part that shows up in smart unlock, i would double check the permissions for sure, maybe try clearing cache/davlik-cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
That's what I am about to do again. I did it after the flash then went in and changed permissions after. So gonna try cleaning again. If doesn't work I'll wait and retry when tms2.2 is released cause right now I have my phone extremely debloated so I might have gotten rid or froze something it needs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Check if other smart lock things work, i suggest on body since it needs no setup or bluetooth devices or anything, if those dont work that would be your problem, sounds like a permissions error for sure though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Yea the on body works. I just gotta figure out the permissions for the files...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I would check the zip so you know what to delete and delete the files, check the md5 on the zip, then flash and do a full cache clear(cache and davlik). I doubt it'd be a problem with you having an active, the mod itself isn't even galaxy s5 specific the files are packed from the TBO gapps package like i mentioned in the thread, who knows though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Got it to work it was permissions. I had to check and fix very single file and folder lol. One of the folders inside a folder wasn't right and nothing was set as executable so the apk wouldn't even load. Thanx for the app. Will let u know tomorrow how it goes after I play with it more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ya, just do the improve recognition a TON, as the name implies the more you do it the better it gets, i usually do it a few times at a couple different angles every different place i'm at even just in my house.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
I am finding SS is alot better still than FF, its makes flashing so much easier if you take the time to install it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Yup, I installed using ss and setting up now.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
My at&t s5 active could not do a normal not.

I'm stuck at the screen where you have to hit the volume up button when using odin on your computer to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Sounds like you didn't install the kernel since you are on an active you need to flash the oc5(?) kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Considering I'm in limbo can I flash that oc5 kernel via ODIN3 v3.09 form my computer...cause whatever I do right now I believe is going to have to be done from Odin3 3.09 on my pooter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Retracing my steps

To retrace my steps:

I downgraded my at&t S5 ACTIVE from NG3 to NE4, made it rain with towel root and then flashed the NG3 stock kernel (http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776). Then I upgraded to android 5.0 lollie pop via muniz_ri's method (http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841) and flashed the G870A_OC5_STOCK_ROOTED_ROM (http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g870aoc5-5-0-keeproot-t3083841).

Then I tried to install the twisted lollipop V7. Now I'm stuck at the downloading screen that you see when after pressing the volume up button when using Odin3 v3.09. Odin isn't recognizing my phone in the ID:COM port. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Flash the kernel, you can get it from the full oc5 stock rooted tar, if you cant find it in it ask in the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
Here is the kernal - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952610141
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Thanks for the link Jimwick

Unfortunately I'm stuck in a boot loop. I keep going back to the android system recovery. I guess I am going to need to flash something using Odin3 on my laptop?...I guess?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Flash the oc5 kernel through odin. That will fix it. That's what we figured out the other day. The rom flashs the oc4 kernel it doesn't check for the g870a to skip that step.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jimwick:
As jason and Rakuu said just odin the damn kernel, Both I and Rakuu had to same exact issue the first time we did it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Yup, me too.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I'll update the OP to have the oc5 kernel, i might make a dynamkc installer that checks for what kernel to load, whatever comes first, on that note, anyone know of a better way to check for that then to grep build.prop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
The best way is to have it search for what bootloader is being run. I can whip up a script for you since I'm already adding it to my next release for other reasons. Another option would be removing the kernel from the rom. If they're on a 5.0 rooted rom by muniz that updates the firmware including the kernel then flashing the kernel with the rom isn't necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I don't know why i never considered that lol, i'm on a bit of a vacation right now so i'll definitely get on it asap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Thanks for everyone's help

I downloaded that link and unzipped the file but odin only recognizes the file folder and not a PDA file like a .tar or .md5 etc.. I am placing the files to flash in the AP field. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong (or maybe what I am not doing)? Sorry for being such a newb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jasonj711:
Yea that's what I did when I was trying to get it to install. I checked the zip and saw in the update at the end that it flashed the kernel. So I erased that part and took the kernel out and worked fine.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

1 sec I will get u the right one. I ran into the same thing. One is flash able with like ss or FF but not odin. Gimme sec to find it.

Thanks jasonj711 for taking the time to get the link for me and thanks to talkingmonkey for the file! I clicked the thanks button on his OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
Sorry...anudder bump in da road...

My phone works and can make calls but no data. I checked all the small stuff to ensure data is on and airplane mode is off and I noticed under settings-about phone the model listed is a SM-G900T. My phone is actually a G870A. Would this cause a problem? The G870A OC5 kernel has my model #. I'm at a loss. I had safestrap for a recovery and made a backup before doing any of this but I don't have SS now and I don't know if it even works with this rom. any suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Safestrap isnt compatible with lollipop, you need to flash anolder kernel to get to it then flash the new one again. I was having the same problem yesterday, might be temporary issue with att. The model numbers like that mean nothing, you can go change it in the build.prop of it really bothers you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
I don't care what model # it says I have...was just thinking of what the problem could be. My wife's phone is working s it isn't an issue with at&t. I don't care about using safestrap either..that's just what I had to use on my S4 and with this S5 Active...until I I used muniz_ri 's method to get lollipop (android 5.0). Anyhow I really appreciate everyone on these forums willingness to help out newbs like myself...I'm sure it can get a lil aggravating. Keep tossing suggestions on how I can get my data working...I know there is more than one way to skin a cat...I just don't want to do things to make my situation worse (which is what I do when I try things myself without asking for guidance first).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
I assume you've powercycled and flicked airplane mode off for 30 seconds then back on, i would verify your apn is right and double check you haven't turned off mobile data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
yup

Yup, turned it off & on 2 or 3 times and just tuned airplane mode off and on...data is also on. I've tried all the small stuff...at least everything I could think of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Go ahead and compare your apn to your wifes phone since her's is working, you can find apn settings under connections>more networks>mobile networks>acces point names.

You can go ahead and add one that is identical to hers, or i you want to try mine this is what i've got
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
APN info won't save

Thanks Rakuu. I pressed the + symbol to add an APN and entered all the info and then tried to save it but it doesn't save. I even rebooted thinking that might make it take effect, but no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Have you tried the 3dot menu, should have save changes and discard changes, if its not saving after that as well you might need to reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrleroybrown:
apn info

I saved it using the 3 dot menu. I just tried copying the data from my wife's phone and noticed hers had a value under the Name field of internet and under APN field it said ndo...entered everything and saved and it appears to have saved it so I am thinking the key might be entering a name? Go figure...anyhow it seems to be working now. Thanks for the guidance Rakuu cause I hadn't thought about adding an APN...that did the trick! We are on Cricket Wireless which is owned by AT&T and basically on the same network (or maybe just same towers). I'll post my APN settings in case anyone else runs into this problem that has Cricket.:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Ya the name is required haha, i think a box comes up telling you if you forgot it. For me it added like 3 apns, who knows though, glaf you got ot figured out.

It works.

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/development/5-0-oc7-tms5-1-0-4-29-15-t3095987

Go to the second post and u will fond the active key fix. Download it and install with ss or flashfire. I generally do cache wipes after any flash. It will take a min to load don't worry it is normal. After it loads it might not work. Just go to accessibility and u will fond active key. Click it and it will then work 100%. Set what u want for single press and long press.

Also make sure u give [MENTION=5266065]talkingmonkeys[/MENTION] thanks for making the fix with couple others help testing.
