[XDA Assist] :
Hello everyone. I m using an Samsung galaxy s5 since the last 1 year. and as all of us already know the fact that it has an sluggish ui. I have tried using launchers to change the overall user experience . but now I want to root my device. I wish to know the most widely used custom ROMs for s5. And how to root the device. An step wise instructions list will be very much helpful.

My device is na official s5. Non rooted. No carrier locked. As in India we don't have that kind of devices. I use an vodaphone network. ( for additional info.). My friends suggested to go for cynogen OS. Please advice !!

I want to download FlashFire to make a Nandroid backup before I try some of the Xposed stuff androidfreaks35 posted, but I want to make sure FlashFire works properly on the G4 before doing so.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
I haven't used FlashFire, but we don't have custom recovery so I don't know how you expect to flash zips or install Xposed.
[Verizon LG G4] nrage23:
Flashfire is a way to what is done in TRWP without a custom recovery. It is what I used to flash roms on my S6.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Interesting. OP if you get Xposed to install let us know! This is the one thing left that I need to fully stop using my old G3.
[Verizon LG G4] Smokncars:
flashfire didnt work for me to do a backup

xposed installed but its missing framework to actually work..........
[Verizon LG G4] Crsdr37:
What options do you have for backup I see kernel and recovery? Both seemed to backup fine for me
[Verizon LG G4] Smokncars:
Really it worked with g4. My phone was overheating and screen stayed black. I attached my phone info. Is it the same as yours
[Verizon LG G4] joshw0000:
I think you're confusing Flash fire with Flashify. I can confirm that Flashify works for kernel and recovery (and successfully restored recovery after I flashed the TMo TWRP). I'm getting the same results as the OP with Flashfire. My screen goes black and I have to force a reboot.
[Verizon LG G4] lacoursiere18:
This is bc the kernel needs a hijack of some sort. It just doesn't work bc of the app.. with FlashFire or SafeStrap. There needs to be more to it.

Hi all.

I've been on the lookout for a Trek theme and can't seem to locate one that is compatible with the default launcher.

I'd prefer not to run another launcher although I did buy Nova prime once before for my last phone.

Anyone have a Trek theme they could recommend?
[One (M9) Themes and Apps] augie7107:
It is fairly easy to make your own.

Hopefully someone will port the stuff from the Meizu m3e Star Trek Edition. From what I have seen from pictures around the web. The theme is quite nice, including the dialer.

Do you mean a Xperia-themed rom? Because there's one right now in the Android Development of this forum.
[G 2014 General] Lynse:
What? Xperia Lollipop ROMs are just for Xperia devices, as far as i know, Sony is not going to make Xperia Lollipop a open source thing, if Xperia M2 receive an official Lollipop update, we can try to port it, as its the same hardware. we can surely have an Xperia Themed ROM, but i don't know why would someone do that, Xperia Lollipop is ugly as hell (in my opinion)
[G 2014 General] pinkerini:
As I said, we already have a Xperia-themed rom, based in the latest stock. I don't like it but different strokes for different folks, I guess.
[G 2014 General] rajj_k2:
Lexodus ROM is the one with Xperia themes.. But it still isn't quite that much Xperia..

Its ok just felt like asking so did cause I'm bored of the stock lollipop

I was upgrading my Trinity to new Mobile 6 but halfway through the load, everything stopped. I didn't disconnect anything, nor did I run out of power. Now I have:

TRIN100:

TRIN100:

SPL-3.03.0000

But when I run any original firmware loads, it says "cannot upload due to corrupt image" or "Invalid Vendor ID". I can't boot into a functioning OS anymore, it stops at the Direct Mail screen. I can get into boot loader, but I cannot seem to load any image into the device.

Can anyone help?

Camera has OIS, but not Sony sensor

Home button with fingerprint sensor, not quite sensitive

Oxygen OS not finalize yet, lots of bugs

[OnePlus 2 General] napes22:
It's definitely sleeker than the original leaked images led us to believe. Based on what he just posted on the front page, this is the A2001, which is the lite version of the phone. The A2003 is the higher end model and will look somewhat different (potentially).

[OnePlus 2 General] wizzardeel:
I hate the fact that they made it bigger... 5.7"? I thought it was supposed to be 5.2"?
[OnePlus 2 General] shoman94:
Now that's more like it.

The images in the OP show the back must be removed to access the SIM card. I hope the high end version doesn't require that. I replace my SIM twice a day for work.
[OnePlus 2 General] fuekiin:

[OnePlus 2 General] Galactus:
Who said it was 5.7"? The leaker said it was 5.5
[OnePlus 2 General] wizzardeel:
saw a website listing leak a week or so ago that said that?
[OnePlus 2 General] Elius2676:
Look closely at the SIM tray. It's got a '1' and a '2' on there leading me to believe it's got two SIM card readers already in there. I imagine then that you just swap between them quite easily through the OS.
[OnePlus 2 General] droydr:
horrific design and phone is way too big. and they raised the price by $150. hilarious.

this is going to be a massive dud for OnePlus and could put them out of business.

their quality control and customer service are already the worst in the industry. oh, and good luck dealing with the SD 810 with Oxygen.
[OnePlus 2 General] napes22:
You're clearly not biased in any way.
[OnePlus 2 General] shoman94:
I guess I wasn't clear enough. I can't have a camera phone at work so I remove the SIM and put it into my camera-less SGS4 when I get to work and put it back in my 1+1 when I leave work.
[OnePlus 2 General] wmm:
1. Pleasing design is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not alone in saying I like this one.

2. The phone is smaller than the 1+1, which wasn't a "dud".

3. We don't know yet how much they raised the price. The statement was that it would cost less than $450. Last time the price turned out to be a lot lower than the "less than" price released before the announcement; we'll see in a few hours what the price turns out to be.

4. Not sure about the quality control remark; you're right, though, that they certainly do need to improve their customer service.

5. I'm sure your well-wishing on the success of Oxygen is appreciated. :)
[OnePlus 2 General] kanttii:
IMHO that looks way too much like an iPhone 6, from the edges (to the Samsung style button) to the similar camera the iPhone has...and that was the ugliest phone from Apple ever. I hope OnePlus doesn't go that way...if they go, good bye innovation :(

Yeah there aren't many ways to differentiate with aluminium, but still. Look how different the Lumia 930 is for example!

Thanks for the pics everyone!
[OnePlus 2 General] kutulu32:
Oneplus made a very big mistake in the design of that phone. In order to make the phone successfull price should be no more than 400e. In performance it should be faster than mi note pro for example. Oxygenos is not a problem for me as far as bootloader can be unlocked as in one plus one. The main issue of oxygenos in op1 as far as i remember was the battery.

I hope battery will be much better ...
[OnePlus 2 General] forgeek:
Iv been out with some pretty hot chicks in my time, my best mates a spoilt brat and owns some seriously nice cars which he has let me drive but i will admit one thing on this forum

[OnePlus 2 General] chinaleakking:
sorry to let u know, no SD card slot
[OnePlus 2 General] droydr:
actually, the vast vast majority agree with me.. or are you simply deciding to ignore everyone else's similiar comments?

this is a very poorly designed phone (both front and back) that not only copies Samsung, but is much too big. the OPO was too big and most didn't like that, and this is basically the same size. in addition, benchmarks are bad. and then of course, there's Oxygen.

and the same poor 1080p display with maybe an improved camera?

when you consider all that and then take into consideration the well-documented QC issues the OPO had and their horrible customer service, it has zero appeal. it would probably sell well around the $250-$300 mark, but absolutely no higher.
[OnePlus 2 General] chinaleakking:
To answer all：

And how is the temperature?

Beta software, so quite hot ...

Is there a Lite model or just a OnePlus 2?

Just OP2, with less RAM or more RAM

Does it have an IR Blaster?

No blaster, laser focus

How is the sound quality of the speakers?

Not bad

Is that a mute switch on the side of the device?

check out the official announcement ... ;)

What about the screen size and resolution?

5.5 1080p

Could you please post some full resolution sample pictures taken with the camera?

Sorry, no, but the camera is quite good at high ISO

Does it still have an option for on screen navigation buttons?

Not sure what u means on screen navigation ...

can you describe what you mean by "not quite sensitive" ?

Sometime, your finger with sweat, it will take longer time to identify

One more thing ...

Battery not removable and no SD card slot :(

[OnePlus 2 General] samir_a:
I liked one plus one but to be honest not a huge fan of Oneplus 2 because of the two reasons

The invite system, it was understandable one plus one had an invite system because at that time oneplus for new and they did not have enough production but to have it for 2 is just not acceptable why should I wait in line to buy a phone it is not longer acceptable in todays world by doing that they are saying they dont have enough production to cate to the demand in that case also the invite system is not acceptable or its a marketing hype to creat artificial demand.

The second major issue i have is with the OS one of the key reason for oneplus ones sucess was the OS the fact it had partnered with CM which is no longer the case and I am no fan of oxygen OS hence its a big negative

Please remember have a top notch hardware is no use if it is not accompanied by software innovations which are missing even the screen resolution and camera are not been upgraded yes there has been addition of fingerprint scanner but thats been in Iphone for couple of editions so its not new

The 4GB of ram is again a gimmic as i dont know if the softwar is 64 bit and dont think its going to be optimized to use it for atlease a year

Overalll I am dissapointed as apart from the Metal body they have most upgraded the hardware which to a user has no importance as its not going to make a difference in everyday use.

Uh, isn't 330+ PPI good enough lol? :D You can only see the pixels at that PPI if you look VERY closely, and at the 401 PPI this phone has there's practically no chance you can even try to see them at the usual distance you use the device!

I'm also a bit sad about the design choices they made... And that invite system when they already have a solid production going for the One. It shouldn't be a big problem to set it up forthe Two, especially after such a long time... As someone said it seems just like creating artificial demand which is not that nice. even sadder than the design choices!

Oh well. Good luck OnePlus, I hope all goes well for ya.

EDIT: Now that I watched the launch and saw it from more angles, it looks unique after all - those pics didn't do it justice! That call from his mom tho? lol
[OnePlus 2 General] Crisisx1:
OnePlus wouldn't want people to bash their product before release.

You must work for a flagship phone company... But the killer is coming Aug 11
[OnePlus 2 General] jerdog:
Sure - it was explained - doesn't make it correct or accurate. You can control inventory and know how many you will sell/need by doing what everyone else does, and that's through a pre-order. As a company, and especially when you're trying to position yourself in a price range that many people will buy on impulse, you HAVE to play on the impulse buyer. When the device was announced there were 10k+ people ready to drop ~$350 on the device at that exact moment. As soon as they decided to do this invite system, that number went out the window. Why? Because they had removed the impulse buy. It's simple economics/marketing. Invites do not equal a sale. Preorders do.

Also keep in mind that they didn't do an invite system on the devices they sold in China (where they sold MANY more). The only devices which had an invite were those that shipped with CyanogenOS, and I believe the invite system came off soon after Cyngn cancelled their contract.
[OnePlus 2 General] puremind:
There is no denying that Apple and Samsung spend millions in advertising that customers have to pay for as part of the smarthone price. Keep in mind OnePlus is a small start up and they don't have those budgets to start with. The invitation system is the very reason we are able to enjoy a flagship phone that cheap. Without it you would never have heard abou them and neither would I.

Controlling inventory is one thing, avoiding stocking fees is another. Just because you know how much you will sell doesn't mean you want to prepare that stock for immediate launch. More sales doesn't mean more profitability if to create those sales you have to sustain higher cost.

Their profitability model is based on lower costs. Others are based on higher sales and their devices cost more because of higher marketing and stocking costs. If you want to enjoy their low unit price, I suggest you accept their cost control strategy.
