[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MobyDck:
So.. Im coming from Dokdo ROM with Lollipop as my base. I've tried Factory Reset, Custom Wipe wiping everything in Phils Touch Recovery, tried changing bases all the way up to BOE1 and I still cant get past the darn Galaxy S5 loading screen. Ive done all but throw my phone against the wall so any help would be appreciated. I thought about downloading the BOE2 base but I dont have the time or the resources to download it from Sammobile.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] rozzerx:
Rom is stable and smooth, no glitches so far.

Thanks dear. Just s voice and smart manager fc.

Please try to add S6 fonts, floating messages and S6 S planner in next release.

I have noticed that Video which is shot through camera has no thumbnail in gallery.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MobyDck:
So a great ROM so far. But I found a bug not already here listed:

Wallpaper chooser doesn't work properly. I can't change the lockscreen wallpaper to anything other than the pre-installed S6 ones.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mandark_a:
Ok, after 3 days of use i can say the following:

1. Battery life is on par with the official, maybe a little better (~10-15%), i managed to get 1 full day with normal use an still 35% left (bt on at all times and connected with gearfit, wireless on, brightness auto, 30min 4g)

2. Keeping the option button pressed to get the menu is no go, i don't know if s6 has it (eg: when you want to change/add widgets on officia you press the option button for ~3sec and get on that option screen)

3. No thumbnails for videos (even those wich are recorded before the upgrade), here i saw that when you want to play a video, or view a photo you get to some editing software first then to the actual video/photo, i'm guessing that this is the problem with thumbnails.

4. S-Voice does nothing, but also doesn't FC.

5. It would be nice to have the option to uninstall bloatware, not only disable/hide.

6. Antutu score passed 54k.

7. The custom wallpaper (like previous poster) says the app is not installed.

But is the best rom for this phone. I will going to try also the T805 rom of yours.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
Okay, I will have a look at it, clearly something to do with the S6 multiwindow

No problem dude :)

Both of these bugs are written in the OP. Smart manager only fc's if you click on security stuff.

I will see if I can do so :)

Also noticed that now, -> S6 gallery :/

Try to set the wallpaper with the gallery this should work.

1. Hope it will get better with a custom kernel...

2. It is the new option to open multiwindow. Enable the multiwindow stuff and long press the recent app, you will see.

3. S6 gallery/ or s6 photo editor

4. I know, is in the list

5. Which bloatware do you mean? you can uninstall them with titanium backup

6. Nice dude

7. Is because of the wallpaper picker from the S6, try to set it threw your gallery app
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mandark_a:
Hy, setting from gallery won't work, it just fc.

Another bug i'd say is that when you unlock the phone the home screen is like resseting a hard refresh, where all the widgets icons gets refreshed.

For the bloatware, back in the days i had a custom rom for i9506, and there you could uninstall any program from the appdrawer. Like clock/google settings etc.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] putti71:
Okay now i got the phone and i am on latest ROM Version.

Some things are strange:

1. each boot takes pretty long

2. SuperSu request takes long too

3. Freezes sometimes

4. Dienstalling apps takes also very long and sometimes leads to a reboot

What can be the problem here?

I did a clean install and am on latest modem and bootloader.

Regards
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
1. Boot takes about 20 seconds.

2. Root comes within 2 seconds

3. Never freezed something

4. The stuff you mentioned with the apps, that is new with lollipop :D if you uninstall an app with titanium or so you need a reboot. Thanks to lollipop

Did you restore any app backups or modules for xposed? Because this can give you the mentioned issues.

Same things that where happening to me when I told you that the text messages are being sent very slow [MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]

[MENTION=2161736]putti71[/MENTION] if you don't mind, reboot your phone and when it finishes booting up try to send an text message and check the duration between when you hit "send" and when the message got sent and tell me how much it takes to be sent
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] putti71:
Perhaps the xposed modules were the problem. Gonna check that later

smartmanager

Most of the new stuff (except for the smartmanager) i already managed myself using xposed. Can i download an apk and install the smartmanager myself?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Ionut Alexandru:
Back home. Same problems, still slow text message send time and as someone else said, the supersu permission request shows too slow
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
You can download the rom and go to system/priv-app and copy the two smartmanager folders into the same direction on your phone. Set the right permission and reboot.

As I said, do a clean install and DON'T restore anything. You will see that it will work perfect. It is something you restore..

Hello everyone.

Since I upgrated to 1.3.5, I have huge GPS problems. It works, but jerkily, haltingly.

I play Ingress quite a bit, and this is very disturbing.

I have the same problem with other GPS based apps.

Does anyone experience the same problem ?

Just to be sure, I wanted to try going back to 1.3.0. What's the best way to do it ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Ionut Alexandru:
Ok, it looks like the text message send time is fixed but those things are still spammed in logcat and i'm using the bootloader and modem you posted.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
The logcat thing is there in many touchwiz based rom. It is not an erro. Only an information

If you did a dirty flash you know your problem. 1.3.5 changed nothing with GPS

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Sgt.7Eleven:
Amazing work guys!

I have a G906K and quite interested in knowing some things about its version:

> What do you mean for: -Latest TouchWiz Sources!

This rom uses BOH4 source from Samsung which is supposed to be the latest one.

> What have you removed as you say: -Heavy debloated, but fully functional

Debloat refers to the Knox and usual crapware that comes with Samsung touchwiz.

> What is this: -Adblocker Enabled

Adblock is a change to the hosts file in Android which blocks all ads in webpages, apps, etc.

> Is this only working with stock kernel only? Doesn't Wanam Xposed fix this: -Private mode working because of the stock kernel

I believe people have used Lonas kernel with this rom, I think simplegx kernel also should work.

> What is this: -

Stagefright patch

applied by google!

Stage fright was a security loophole that allowed anyone access to your phone through MMS. Thus patch fixes that, but it hasn't been released officially by Samsung.

> Why you say heavy debloated when you mention Google stuff: -All google stuff updated

Debloat refers to touchwiz bloat. Google ones include gapps.

> I use SFinder!!! How to have it back: -SFinder from Statusbar removed

This one I believe you must use a previous version of the rom, or look for the tutorial to remove s-finder button and reverse it.

> I need this!!! How to have it back: -Unplug your charger wont wake up your display anymore

Same as above.

> Is this installed while the Xposed alpha4 is not?? So installing the alpha4 should be the only thing needed for using Xposed: -Xposed V6 krait preinstalled

Yeap. The rom side modifications are already done. Just need to install the xposed app and activate it within the app.

» Last thing about the rom: if I'd like to install the kykint kernel..can I remove the -Selinux Enforcing app or files?

This one is relating to g906 so idk haha

Tnx.

Great rom looking for a custom kernel with oc and all also using another touchwiz launcher as its got the zero content picker with working a-z also working app resizable grid thing in app drawer too great rom..

Zip attached is from this rom sorry forgot what post I got it from.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
- Means latest base released by samsung

- Means all bloat removed that can manually be installed threw playstore

- Ads are blocked

- Private mode is only working with stock and yes wanam can fix it

- Stagefright problem solved

- Google Play services updated

- you can install v1.3 and you will have all this things you need

- You should read what the difference are between G901F and G906

- selinux is a kernel feature. So if you install another kernel selinux is maybe already changed

Thumbs up, developer!

I've been having the ROM since two days and here are my observations:

1 - device : SM-G906K

2 - I couldn't install v1.3, got a boot loop all the time.

3 - v1.3.5 installed perfectly (after factory reset coming from the stock). Used TWRP 2.8.7

4 - Though it claims to have XPosed built-in I still had to flash the latest arter97 framework otherwise it wouldn't work.

5 - battery life is definitely better than stock

6 - fingerprint works though not with PayPal (I think it's a general problem with root, not specifically with the ROM)

7 - Let's see who brings us 5.1.1 or 6.0 first!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
ok, so i have not been as lucky. first, i have a g906s. so i downloaded both the nova rom 1.3.5, and the "s" patch 1.3.5. i was coming from stock bo12, cleaned it to load a new rom, flashed the rom, bootloop. then flashed the patch,,,,,,,, bootloop. i get nothing but bootloop. so then i read more of the thread, and they there was a post about getting a diff bootloader and modem. so i dl both of those (h4), and odin will not load either one. i get an error message and "FAIL" in the upper box. so could you please let me know what i am doing wrong? thanks!

ps - also curious to know if the device should be able to boot up without the patch, or do you have to go right back into recovery to patch before trying to start it all the way into rom?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
In the changelist of G906 is mentioned that xposed was removed (in SM-G901F rom it is present) and for the other feedbacks, thank you :)

You don't have the latest bootloader. In the OP is written that this bootloader is (H4) is only for SM-G901F users. Please read what to do. You have to download the stock rom and flash it first. Download from sammobile, the one you should use: Sammmobile Link.

Hope I could help you
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
ok. yeah, i didn't use the bootloader at first, or the modem. i found them later. i loaded first the stock rom BO12, which is the latest for the sm-906s on sammobile. then i tried to load the nova 1.3.5 rom after that. so maybe where i am getting confused, is where i load nova rom. after i have stock BO12, and i want to flash nova rom, do i do complete wipe, or just wipe cash and delvic, before flashing nova rom? also, do i flash nova rom, boot, then flash the g906s patch, or do i flash the patch at the same time as flashing the rom? thanks for you help tk.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
Okay so your bootloader should not be a problem.

1. Flash custom recovery

2. Wipe ALL partitions (except where your rom is)

3. Install rom

4. Install the addon

5. Reboot

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
first thanks for continuing to help me. i have heard great things about your rom, from people i trust. next, i did exactly what you wrote above, just now, and my g906s is back in a boot loop. i reflashed latest stock rom, reflashed custom recovery, flashed the 1.3.5 nova rom, flash the 1.3.5 patch and bootloop. i don't get the reason for this, as i normally load custom rom's quite easily. so maybe i should try loading just the 1.3 version...?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] botwa2000:
What recovery are you using?

V1.3 didn't work for me (boot loop). I came from the latest stock as flashed via OTA and after rooting and a complete factory reset flashed v1.3.5 using TWRP 2.8.7
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
i'm using philz 6.59. do you think the recovery has something to do with it? i do have twrp 2.8, but haven't used it yet, as i hate twrp. but i would try it if it will help me get past this bootloop. but you are using a "k" and i am using a "s". don't really know how much of a difference that makes.

UPDATE: ok, so i have downloaded from the main server, from the arizona server and most recently from the california server. i have tried to load 1.3 and i have tried to load 1.3.5. i have loaded each and every time the latest stock rom BO12, and then loaded both phiz 6.59 and twrp 2.8. wiped everything i could, even took my ext. sd card out, and try it with only the intern card files. every single time, i end up in the same bootloop. aaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!! i have NEVER had such a hard time loading any rom. why is this being so difficult??????????????????????????????????
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
One last idea: try to flash OH1 (G906SKSU1BOH1) stock rom and see if this makes any difference

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PIRATA!:
Are these kernels also for G906?

I see v1.3.5 for G906 now...is that the one to install that does not give any bootloops?

Tnx.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
thanks for all of your help tk. i loaded boh1, but still ran into the same problems. so i then turned my attentions to the recovery. i found a general version of twrp 2.8.7.0, but it still would not work. so i searched a specific twrp to our 906s device, and found an unofficial version of twrp 2.8.7.0. then i went in and deleted the entire internal card, even where i had the nova rom. i then put my ext sd card back in and ran 1.3.5 version of the rom, and the patch for "s", and viola! i now have the rom up and running. wow! what a process.

thank you again for taking the time to not only make this rom for our device, but to also keep updating it, and trying to make it better. we all appreciate it so much. once i get all of my apps and things loaded and adjusted, i will report back on how it is running.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
wow! after testing this rom over the last 35 hours or so, i am astounded at the battery life. i turned off my wifi last night before going to bed, and the battery usage was flatlined all night. i have never seen that on lollipop. the rom seems to be running very smooth as well, and fast. the only thing i have found that is a little negative, is that a few of my news widgets, don't seem to change fully. instead they get stuck in between the change from one story to the next. they are scrolling widgets, where you can scroll through the pic's to see different stories, like cards on top of each other. but when one changes from the top story, to the one which is below it, it gets caught in between. you can check it out, as the widget is from appygeek.

UPDATE: i seem to have one last problem. for some reason my xposed installer will not activate. since there are so many different versions of xposed out there, can one of you guys let me know EXACTLY which framework and installer to install. i installed version 3 alpha 4, and arter's sdk21-arm-20150430- v4-krait. thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] botwa2000:
I used xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon framework from arter97 thread. Works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tiritibambix:
Thanks for your answer.

Actually, I did all you said we must do. I had a clean install for 1.3.0, and just flash 1.3.5 with cache and dalvik wiped. Is this wrong ? Did I have to make a clean install for 1.3.5 also ?

I found this workaround for my GPS issues, wich were huge.

Thanks to this, now, it only gets stuck for few seconds once in a while...

Maybe it will be usefull for someone else...

1. On your phone go to Settings > More > Location services and ensure that Access to my location is set to ON and that Use GPS satellites and Wi-Fi & mobile network are both checked. In Google Maps, go to Menu > Settings > Google location settings and ensure that Access location is checked.

2. Download GPS Status & Toolbox, free from the Play Store. There is a paid version but the free one will suffice.

3. In GPS Status & Toolbox, go to Menu > Settings > GPS & Sensors > Auto-download AGPS data and choose how often you wish AGPS to be updated. I use once a day. You may decide more or less. Also Sensor filtering. I have mine set to weak but you can experiment. A stronger filter increases the GPS fix time a bit.

4. Other settings you can choose to suit yourself and your location, such as meters/feet, miles/kilometers, etc: Unrooted users - go to #6

5. For rooted users only. (Not necessary) Download FasterGPS, free from the Play Store and select your location. This now tells your GPS to use a local location service which can speed up your fix time. See Hawker's post, #6, below for more information.

6. Now take your phone outside, away from buildings if possible and with a clear view of the sky. Open GPS Status & Tools > Menu > Tools and select both Compass calibration and Calibrate pitch and roll and follow the instructions for calibration.

7. Now, still outdoors, put your phone into Flight Mode so that the phone is only using its internal GPS for a fix and go to Menu > Tools Manage A-GPS state > Reset and then leave it for around 20 minutes on a flat surface.

8. After around 20 minutes, very carefully, turn Flight Mode off and in Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download

9. Now either, rotate the phone a couple of times through its three axis or do some figures of 8 with the phone.

10. Go to Google Maps in Satellite mode and see how quickly you get an accurate fix.

Thanks ironass

Anyways, if I can avoid another clean install, I would really be happy.

Is there any safe way to go back to 1.3.0 quickly to check out how GPS behaves back to this version ?

Thanks for reading :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
he ONLY provides the installer, NOT the framework. i have tried 3 different frameworks, and it just tells me that xposed is installed but not active, and the logs have no information to help. i have xposed installer v3 alpha 4 loaded. but it is not active because i guess i have the wrong framework loaded or something.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Tkkg1994:
First off, thank you for the description of how you could fix the GPS issue :) if other user have this problem, they can read it there.

Other than that a clean install is not needed for 1.3.5, but if you face such problems after an update you can be sure that it can be an issue after this update.

Last thing: in the settings under application permission, if you disable location for google play service,GPS also wont work properly

You should download it from arter97 unofficial xposed thread if you want to flash it. For alpha 4 of the app, V6 is required for flashing. Take the snapdragon one

Realise the above is off topic.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] stevae:
yes, as i wrote in the above post, i have it now. but thanks for the help anyway. i appreciate it.

i haven't really used the xda app, maybe i'll try it. even when i tried just looking up arter97's page, it fed me back a whole bunch of pages, which showed very little of what i needed. same with a search of arter97 and xposed. but it's done now. so all is well, that ends well.

with every other custom lollipop rom i have tried with this device, the battery life was horrendous. i mean, i would shut off data, wifi and take screen way down, for my over-night, while i slept, and i would still wake up in the morning having lost 20-30%. it was so infuriating. but last night i had 80% when i went to bed, and i had 80% when i woke up this morning. great!!! i'm loving everything with this rom so far. excellent job tk! i will follow you closely from now on. i was going to sell my g906s just recently, because of my frustrations, but now i am thinking about keeping it for a while since i discovered nova rom.

UPDATE: i did find one bug, however. when you go into sounds and change all of your sounds, that infernal whistle continues to be used. so i search a little further in sounds, by going to "other sounds", and i found out that it was the email notification that was still making the whistle sound. but while i can click on every other choice there, it will not allow me to click on "email" to change that sound. please take a look at this tk. thanks.
