yo, is anyone having a problem where after having version 1.5.5 flashed for around a week, the ROM will practically break down and reboot every 2 minutes or so? This has happened about 3 times to me now, so i don't think it's a one off. For now i'm just flashing back to version 1.5. as it never happened on that version. I'm on g906k by the way, anyone know a fix?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
Did you flash an other kernel? Because this issue is kernel related and not rom

Sorry, I meant how did you fix it?

It feels like I'm constantly facing wakelocks from wifi somehow. A wakelock called wlan_wow_wl is the main culprit of my battery drain. Anyone have a fix for it?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MEGAX91:
[MENTION=1962866]Warrimonk[/MENTION]

wlan_wow_wl wakelock is kernel related , use a custom kernel with updated qcacld-2.0
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Yassine-3D:
Yes I fixed it ! Now im enjoying my phone with nova rom and I hope that u make some extra modification to make it better . Im Waiting ur kernel and the next version also

The only issue I see now is Force close touchwiz when booting up the device

But in general NOVA ROM is awsome a big thanks to you for making our devices alive :D

It's better to post here an description of what you did to fix this. I also had this problem in the past, for some time i was on cm13 but now i'm coming back to novarom so i'll need a fix for this.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Yassine-3D:
I did not post the solution here cuz the forum is about Nova Rom /but im gonna tell u how I did to resolve this problem

I've made a lot of experience but I think that xwifix fixed the problem

I never thought that there is a v2 so I have followed steps to change wifi_country_code value to 'us' with SQlitemanager . But I realized that the v2 is automated so it did the same thing when I pressed Fix boutton on the app ( u have to enable the tweak in xposed and reboot before pressing (fix) and then reboot after pressing the boutton and I think that the both application will demand to u to reboot so just press OK :p )

cafactive is awesome

[MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION] can you add it to your kernel ( it's even better than ironactive )
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ElFlyer:
I'm on NovaRom 1.5, and it works great, but I want to move to 1.5.5

I was with TWRP and I didn't manage to boot 1.5.5 whatever wipe done.

I move to PhilZ Recovery, but same story for me. Novarom placed on internal SD or external one... this is the same

I've checked md5 it's the good one.

Error is:

Generatin Symlinks:

symlink: some symlink failed

E: Error in novarom.zip

(status 7)

E: Installation aborted

Does someone already encountered this issue ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] marius18br:
Try manual wiping system partition (or "clean to install new rom" in PhilZ). Also be sure to install BOK modem (CP button in Odin) and bootloader (BL button) first.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Yassine-3D:
Maybe you should redownload the rom zip :D
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
My kernel supports multiboot as well :)

Ironactive does only work with successfully build in hmp features. I will check cafactive :)

Wipe everything and flash the bootloader/modem. Rom is working fine

I would like to thank Tkkg1994 for this wonderfull rom.

I am on sm-g901f, and the rom is very fast / stable with low battery consumption.

If it can help others, I have had difficulties in installing the 1.5.5 version directly (even if BOK2 modem and bootloader were installed and full wipe were done in TWRP - phone was already on french 5.0.2).

I solved my problem by following these steps :

* first I installed the complete BOK2 rom = G901FXXU1BOK2 NEE

* then I wiped and installed TWRP

* then I installed nova rom 1.5

* then I wiped and installed nova rom 1.5.5

When I don't install first version 1.5, the 1.5.5 installation fails when installing the modem (then the phone bootloops).

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Just one question in addition : I moved to this rom to be also able to select the apps in multi-window.

But even if xposed framework is working, the wanam xposed module does not allow me to select the apps available in multi-window.

Is there a solution to my problem ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] botwa2000:
Hi, I have a question to [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION] or anyone else in the know:

Is there any sort of ad blocker embedded in the Rom and how do I disable it?

A couple of websites that I use detect an ad blocker and so I cannot visit them via Chrome on my phone. I searched the net and couldn't find how I can detect an ad blocker:(

I don't think I ever installed it either directly or through xPosed.

Any help it's much appreciated!

Hi

Sorry for this late feedback.

Well you're right, "just" had to "clean to install new rom" in PhilZ

remark 1 : .zip was good because of md5 and as I came from 1.5 modem and co were already thje good ones :)

remark 2: this time again I had to set APN that have been lost, to get data and mms

I wont port any 6.0.1 roms to this device, as long as it isn't an official release.

Reason: kernel source code

An fix for this is already build in, so the this wakelock is already reduced

I have qcacld build in the kernel. I have to see if it gives some improvements over stock

The only fix is with a script in init.d that disables some google services that cause that wakelock

Yep already build into the rom

for your future kernel i recomend you to consult with ktoonsez, he is an galaxy s4 and s5 developer and his kernels are the best in matter of performance and battery life. He also made the ktoonservative cpu governor wich is a battery saver in moderate apps and a monster in performance in heavy apps and games. I know this becauce i had devices powered by his kernels.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
I know ktoonsez and his kernel :)

But he made one for the S5 (which has 3.4.y linux) and our device has 3.10.y linux kernel version. I am nearly finished now with my work, the only thing that is not working at the moment is sound/microphone (but I know why and I hope to fix it soon).

You can test it if you want. As long as you don't need sound lol. But because of the sound problem, some apps may not work, like the camera.

I don't see how you can possibly perfect this Rom being 5.0.2 and not higher.

It runs ways better than Dokdo, unofficial CM12.1 and others based on 5.1.1 in my view.

This Rom is ported so I wouldn't expect a MM 6.0 development unless there's such a stock Rom that can be ported.
