Thanks a lot guys! finally got it working had safestrap for lolipop and flashed the og5 kernel. everything smooth so far. Really liked that phoenix boot animation, was a bit concerned at first but realized it was part of the rom. Now to try out all these tweaks and check the hype!

Has anyone used Flash Fire to flash the upgrade? I'm on 9.6 and have been since it was ported. Do I need to do anything other than just flash the 9.8 update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zenia:
Yes did it today,success

Thank you for great rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
For some reason my battery is draining at an unnormal rate. i get about 3 hours on full charge as oppose to the normal 5 i would get. I did a caliberation with battery caliberation and it is still lame. Any suggestions? anyone?

Do you happen to use all the mods and tweaks that this rom provides and still have optimal battery life or are you not using much of them? ive changed the toggles color and also the background of the notification drawer. I also have a cool kirby battery icon. I would think that these dont exactly consume that much battery but i could be wrong? i also use greenify to keep apps closed. ive disabled a lot of apps too.

Or am i missing the point of the rom by not using the UPSM tweak and adding apps to the UPSM approved appslist? anyone used that succesfully without bricking?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
glad to see its still alive

I have never messed with upsm. As far as your battery, when I had this phone and ported this rom I was getting 18 hrs plus a day. Sounds like a bad battery.

What I will say for sure is I have owned lots of Sammy phones the last three, s5 being one , I have used advanced battery calibrator and battery life repair.make sure you do the full repair b4 running calibrator. Also when you calibrate don't skip the last step. I know you have to turn your phone off for a few minutes but this is vital without following that step you are wasting time. The apps are free in the play store. Glad to see you guys are still digging this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Bro that's redonkulous. I want to have you're battery life. I'm on my phone a lot too so idk.. like 18 hours stand by or medium/heavy usage? Might get a new battery too. Had this one since a bit after release. Had the s4 and note 2 as well. Really like the note might wait till my s5 is completely useless to upgrade to a newer note. Or since there rumors of an s7 cop that if its next level. The whole edge deal is so meh. Should've just done what LG did with the v10.

*yeah I followed the instructions might do It a second time and cross my fingers.

*was not aware of battery repair I'll give it a try and report.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Well whatever you do, don't make the mistake I did and get a note 4. I think that phone was actually worse than the LG g3 and that's pretty bad. I own an international now and I will never buy another verizon locked down hunk of crappie again. I am over it. F☆☆☆ all the American released locked down crap. It's just not right and it isn't Samsung who is the real problem. It's lame companies like verizon and at&t that do it. End of rant and yeah moderate use. Try those apps they work man.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Yup. To heck with vzw. I had atnt as my first carrier when the iPhone 3gs released and I was over it that same year. I'm on metro now that my contract is over. I may or may not join tmobile . Looks like they're making some changes. Anyhow, it's unlocked phone from here on out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhan0720:
I can put this ROM and continue using safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jimmy4485:
Advanced battery calibrator and Battery life repair, do they work automatically after the initial setup or you have to calibrate your phone every time?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
Yes. I'm pretty sure you have to flash the "rooting tools for S5 lollipop v3" zip file (that's what I used). Can't help with link right now, but if no one does, I'll get it up later.

UPDATE: here it is http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/safestrap-odin-safestrap-flashable-t3161043

Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
AH, yes the unlock token. I remember this on the htc unlock bootloader gig. Which still left you S-)ON.

Well actually as far as our phones go. Yep, same phones. However if you are not currently rooted and you are on the BOG5 firmware I believe you are stuck with no root. You can't even downgrade to a lower one so you can root. SO sounds like the developer edition or returning the phone and telling them you only want like I would suggest OC4 firmware(rootable) a couple after that are also. Just tell them you have had the BOE1 firmware and the BOG5 firmware and you are very unhappy with it. It's worth a shot. Otherwise, wait for BOG5 to be rooted if it ever gets it. Good luck with your endeavours.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Ok, the first one which is the lra at end does nothing.

The second one fixes systemui crash and messes data up to where you cant use it at all. I am gonna run a logcat see what is up though. But thanks for getting rid of that stupid fc systemui message!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
Good Morning my Friends

I am waiting for my DL then i will use my wifes phone to try it out and report back here just keep watching for any editing that is posted her.

Good Luck to every one that is here to offer there inputs because it is all of our inputs that help make our developers a better make for up coming updates and new rom.:D

Edit 1: dumped phone @ 9:02am install rom 09:04am from start to finished 09:04am- 09:13am

Edit 4: please see post 24 for the fix that worked for me. PS still getting FC on Startup
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
Data Fixed

here is what i did to fix data

5.0 TW Roms

Remember to make sure rom is not an aroma installer as this will mess up your phone in a bad way!

VZW_Lollipop_5.0_International_Rom_Patch_All_v1.zi p (Can Be Use On Tmobile, Sprint And International Roms)

thanks goes to: jrkruse

here is the link to fixing data:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/4-4-4twinternational-rom-patch-t2897026

I used the first one on top.:D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Does the data go away or do you loose signal and everything

Edit: In every international rom the SecFactoryPhoneTest.apk needs to be deleted from system/app folder this app will cause data loss and loss of signal especially if you checked the box to send diagnostic reports to google
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
I had the data just show up faded where it would not let you do anything with it.

yes that stopped the FC but now I get Insert SIM card to access network services

Edit 1: i had to reinstall from the beginning from the very first rom and worked my way back to here again and now it is working again as i did it b4. dont remember any force close.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Did you use the first version or the second version? If you used the first version the instructions stated You have to flash that patch. I did erase those instructions since I posted the new tom Last night. I will repost them Just in case people downloaded the first zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Data went away And thank you for the advice. I will post an update in a little bit for these guys. Removing the secfactoryphonetest.apk
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I sent you a pm
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
I used the one that is on the OP today.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I dont see any pm from you. It must not have sent.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Ok, I am looking in to that now. I am using straight talk this montth and I was pretty sure the data issue was related to my sim. I just had it reset like I have to every 2 days. I implemented a change and I am booting now. So glad to be switching back next month. Straight talk is a total joke
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I resent it

I am going directly back to page plus next month. They are doing the 5 for 55 thing and I never had data issues with them. Everything just worked. New build will be up in about half hour uploading now. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] sent me fixes for data and system ui crash and everything works out the box now besides flashing BOG5 kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
so it will be an OG5 Rom completely?

Downloading it now will report back shortly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I just now uploaded and replaced link so I am not sure what you were downloading but you should go there and redownload, unless you were in my AFH?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
Anyone know as to why everytime I try to flash the "xposed_v75_sdk21_arm_arter97_snapdragon" in SafeStrap, it fails?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhan0720:
try flashfire, It works for me
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
D' OH - I feel SO stupid !!!

Worked like a charm.. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Yes. You need to run the set up in battery repair and have it process all the squares. Mine stopped at one point after all the squares lit up and i was trying to repair them but i just exited the app and went back into it. Just saying in case it happens to you. Then after it fixes all the cells charge your phone up to 100%( i wait until i get the notification that its fully charged) and then turn the phone off for 2 minutes and then turn it back on and use it until the battery drains completely, then recharge as normal. Ive done it everytime i got a new rom and works fine after. I did it last night and my battery lasted 12 hours. want it to last longer tho.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
With light/medium usage I get way better than 24 hours on a charge on my vzw s5. I average around 1.0% to 2.5% per hour of battery lose, which is great. I haven't used any battery repair or anything, just good rom build I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jimmy4485:
They say that Battery life repair

is a scam. http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...e-repair-selling-placebo-effect-3-play-store/, Is that correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
How

I have been using it for about 6 months now and I have not lost anything but bad battery life.

Of course its all in how you perceive things. I feel scammed at the fact I ported this rom for you guys and I would say at least 3 times a week I get requests from people in this forum to build them tbis and build them that. I dont even have an s5 anymore. I dont mind helping you guys at all. But when I see people requesting stuff in my inbox who have probably never even hit my thanks button or at least bought me a coffee through a donation. I feel scammed, of course i did not port this so i would get money. I ported it because the s5 community here is just a drag if yoy ask me and i thought there mighg be others who enjoyed an actual rom that was originally built by one of the masters.

My perception is when I see people hit the thanks button that hey someone actually alpreciates the hours and weeks I put into this too be able to share and not get too much drama.

Super happy that it is still being used as much as it is though. The battery apps i mentioned are not a scam in my perception!

How can a free app be a scam?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Well I will have to say thanks. The battery life I'm getting is great, even with out the free battery repair apps. I do wish I knew more about coding for I would like to add some changes and updates to roms. I guess I will leave that up to the pro's. Thanks again and keep up the good work..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jimmy4485:
I tried to provide some info. to you. I do appreciate your superior knowledge over the subject matter and I hope you continue developing. The fact that these threads exist is for positive or negative feedback. I hope you appreciate that. Furthermore, what we appreciate is continuous support for something that you created and you should take pride in it. Please keep up with the good work even though you no longer own this great device!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Might just need a new battery. Did it all but I still don't get that much battery life. I use like 7 percent in 30 minutes from light usage like surfing Web and different apps without playing videos or anything like that or even brightness up past 25%. Honestly tho what is light usage or heavy usage? Heavy usage is like watching a video or playing games right?. Idk if its the battery or something with the phone overall like a bad flash. Mehh
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
That’s not good battery life at all. I would probably try and start fresh. I would clean/wipe everything with a factory reset, and then reinstall the custom rom. Sometimes resetting everything will fix some battery problems. If you’re still having battery problems, I would also recommend Greenify, Amplify and BBS “Better Battery Stats” to help you find out whets draining your battery. It may or may not be just the battery itself. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
so start all over agian with going to N12 and then rooting and blah blah? f+++ man i hate doing that all over again. Or do you mean wiping in safestrap?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Also is this an AOSP or GPE rom? asking because of the apparent 5.0 memory leaks and since this rom is before 5.1 wondering if it affects my battery lost
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Well, when I did it I went back to stock. It did improve my battery life. You may first try the Greenify, Amplify thing. Also download BBS to check for wakelocks. I’m running the v9.8 build as my daily driver. As of right now I have 1 day 4 hours with 1.7%/hr and 50% battery left. That’s with light use.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
You have to manually delete them. I use root browser. Make sure you do a backup of your rom first just incase .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Okay i have downloaded the apps. I see that so far im using 1% every 2.44 minutes with BBS. But what exactly am i doing with both these apps? how do i use them to properly monitor and improve my battery, could you explain please?

I have greenify already. Greenify actually helped my phone maintain battery life and keep apps closed when i didnt have this rom and gave me an extra hour or 2. I do get about 12 hours or so now but it's always different, like tonight i got about 7 hours and used alot during a concert.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
1st, Keep using Greenify to close all the apps that are draining your battery. Use Amplify to see what wakelocks are keeping your phone from going into deep sleep, it will show you which ones are safe to change. BBS is just monitoring the wakelocks. It will tell you also which wakelocks are stopping deep sleep. Than you can go deeper if needed. Also poke around the forums about freezing some Google service that you don’t need or use, just be very careful with that. This stuff will improve your battery life but may not fix everything. As you know the more you use the phone the more battery will be used.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Just curious if the dpi on 9.8 has been changed where where the grid size is 480 dpi through out like our stock tw
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
The op shows it was changed to 360
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Okay I see. Is it safe or OK to Uninstaller smart manager? Is this a new galaxy app or an app that comes included in the rom? It keeps closing amplify and saying that it's slowing down my phone. Whenever I try to go into the settings it crashes too.

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 AM ----------

I think they're both conflicting with each other and trying to close one another
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
Idk. I've tried downloading 2 different versions and amplify keeps crashing. Ahh idk what is going on. Looks like i my gonna have to reset everything.... sigh
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
Hi, just flashed this rom and so far I am impressed! Have one question, the resolution is too small for me, how can I make it like stock? I have tried dpi changer but did not help. Thanks

EDIT - SECOND TRY AND IT BACK TO DEFAULT.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Did you try textdroider on play store?

Thank you Verizon.. enuff said
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Do we have to change the build prop, or does it change it when we flash it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
Yep its back to stock dpi and working. I JUST found out another issue is my GPS is not working. I tried fast gps fix build in app and a few more from app store with dozen of reboot and no luck. I have no issue with Optimal rom until I flashed this rom. Anyone has this issue??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
Edit-I reflash and gps working again. Is it due to dpi change? Cause that the only thinh I mess with.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Do you have xposed framework installed? Amplify and greenify runs on xposed framework.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
yep i do have it installed. sometimes it says its not tho? idk what's up with that but when i reboot it happens to work again. it hasnt been crashing as of now tho so i guess its no biggie?

But is smart manager safe to uninstall? it seems like an app that comes with the new touchwiz, just guessing by looking it at since it says its powered by clean master. it conflicts with and says amplify is slowing down my phone which i guess makes sense.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Smart manager is safe to uninstall. You may have to do a soft reboot on xposed, not the full reboot. Then it should work fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jpcloudsurf:
okay cool. im not sure what hot reboot is but is that another term for soft reboot or not? like on the power menu when i long press the power button .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhan0720:
hello and they realized that the phoenix was updated to version 10 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347851274

[MENTION=2974474]jhr5474[/MENTION] who works in the new version
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
This update is for G900F right?? Not for G900V, or has it be ported for the G900V.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Hot reboot is an option to reload all apps and framework files without rebooing the complete device! Soft reboot is pretty much the same, just restarts all system software not hardware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Has anyone had anytime to look at the v10 for porting yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] apsavarese:
I see people have had issues with both DPI and GPS locking. Will reflashing work? And if so, should it be a dirty reflash?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
I haven't had any problems with dpi or gps. I don't really use gps much though. I try to always do a clean flash. Sometimes just updates I may do a dirty flash. Not much

I'm getting all kinds of force closes. I was on 9.6 and everything was running just fine. I decided to start all over and that is when I've been getting the systemui force closes. I reinstalled 9.6, was getting force closes, then I installed 9.8 and am still getting them real bad to the point I can not hardly do anything on it. Do you guys know what I'm doing wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I know that this question has been asked about getting the 'System is Upgrading....' when the phone is rebooting and the answers were that there's duplicate apps in the data/app folder. I have looked in that folder and I've only seen one app folder per app, no duplicate one's. Now i have seen a couple of app folders labeled with a '...-2' but I didn't see the same app folder with '...-1'....so I take it that those aren't duplicates because there wasn't a -1 and a -2 labeled??? Any other suggestions to a fix? I've done multiple wipes of the dalvik cache and cache as well. Thank you in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
I would do a fresh clean install of v9.6. Clear everything. Reinstall the v9.6 then do the update v9.8. See if this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
that's what I had done. I actually went all the way back to ncg and rerooted and everything. It took a couple tries but it eventually worked. I had it reinstalling all my apps when I laid down (work 3rd shift), and now my dpi is 480. One of the apps that installed was textdroid, do you think it changed the dpi?isn't the dpi for this rom like 360?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buhohitr:
I believe in 9.8 they went back to stock dpi which is 480. I did mine and it went back to 480 from 360 in the 9.6 version. I would prefer stock dpi, 360 is too small for my eyes..lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
When you reinstalled all your apps, did you use something like titanium backup? If so did you just install user apps with data, or system & user apps with data? You wouldn't want to reinstall any system apps/settings after you updated. The dpi for v9.8 is 480. I believe 360 was v9.6. If you want the dpi to 360 you change it in build.prop file.
