Xposed Module

Could someone help me get xposed working on this rom. Iv searched the forum and found that version xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon is supposed to work. After installing it will not boot past the phoenix rom screen. Iv got the xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon version to install and boot but it makes the touchwiz launcher constantly crash and causes other problems such as cant download. Xposed is the last thing i need for this rom.

Does Anyone know why I am unable to install some of my apps? says my Rom isn't compatible, Like Credit Karma... ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Are you on the latest build and updates. If so then goto settings/applications and find google play store and clear data restart phone and try again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
There is a new update in the place of the original 9.6 update zip. jrkruse reordered settings and fixed signal Bar issue. For those of you who have already updated just reclassified this over it. Won't hurt anything. If you have not went from 1.3 to the 9.6 update it is suggested to flash also.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Hey just wanted to say I'm enjoying the rom! Got it installed this morning. So far everything is running great! Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
When initially installing the ROM, is it necessary to boot it first before flashing the 1.3 -> 9.6 update, or can I just flash it on top of it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
I'm experiencing the same syndrome that I've had with AllianceROM in the past--it asks if I want to send security reports and I cannot make phone calls. How is it this doesn't happen to anyone else? ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Yes you need to flash 1.3 let it boot and setup everything. Do not send diagnostics. As far as the other issue with calls. What network and it sounds like a Restart with clean slate would help. I would go with Odin to kk then root and install safestrap. You can upgrade from kk straight to this rom if you do it correctly. Only time I have had issues like that is when I have a funky carrier or need to wipe......cough.....cough.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
I have no problems changing wallpaper using walls from the phone.. just using my own from gallery. I can also use live walls no problem. When i try to pick from gallery.. it lets me pick.. then i get a toast message saying app isnt installed. This is an awesome rom and thanks for porting to our device.

Ok i got it changed but i had to go through gallery/menu/set as/home and lock screens.... always went through settings to do it before.. thanks again

Install steps

SO... just so I'm clear on install instructions from scratch, I'm currently on another ROM (OC5 baseband). Use NI2 flasher to get to SS recovery. Factory wipe, flash 1.3, then right after flash 9.6. Then flash OC5 Kenel and boot??

Sound about right? Maybe do a ODIN flash to factory first??? Then do the following steps??

Thanks!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Are you sure youre on oc5? That is note 3 rom i believe. If you do an odin flash youll have to root again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
NO sorry your right, my baseband is OC4. The kernal is OG5. I got confused.

I know I will have to root again, just wondering if its recommended to odin or can I just wipe everything before flashing this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Sure.. wipe everything but sdcard and install the pheonix 1.3 zip then the 9.6 zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
No.......No.......No. you must let 1.3 boot and set up before flashing the update. I guess I need to make this more clear in the OP. As far as Odin to stock. I think it's the best way to install a new rom. Start fresh. Reroot this way you are not carrying over issues and you start with clean internal. I always Odin back to ncg don't set anything up as long as you have towelettes v3 BusyBox and safestrap on your card. When it boots skip setup. Install towel root v3 and root. Then install BusyBox and make sure you install from within the app. Then install safestrap. Boot to safestrap and do a backup just in case.

Next flash BOG5 firmware zip then Phoenix 1.3 then for good measure flash BOG5 again. Reboot......setup......install recovery. My suggestion is install Flashfire and flash jrkruse rooting tools zip. Then after reboot install busybox, then go into lollipop safestrap app and install recovery. Back out of app and open again, install recovery a second time and then go back reboot recovery flash update. No need to wipe b4 flashing update. Then reclassified BOG5 firmware and reboot. Voila, your phone is now ridiculously cool.

Hope that wasn't too much!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Make sure the SecFactoryPhoneTest.apk is deleted from the system/app folder
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
I flashed 1.3 then immediately flashed the update then booted up. Should I be experiencing any problems? I didn't know I wasn't suppose to do this earlier when I installed it. Thanks.

This is based off bog5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
For those having problems. Don't restore data from a backup of a us rom. The apps are different on international roms and you will have problems

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Most of the time its fine to flash them at the same time. The only time it wouldn't is if the update is replacing something in the data/data folder of an already installed app. This update you would be fine

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

No it's an international rom BOH4 I believe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Once again, I recommend an odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Just a question for everyone. Has anyone had trouble getting a GPS lock on this rom? This was always a problem on all international roms running on Verizon phones.If you didn't have a GPS lock from the previous rom you were running you wouldn't be able to get one one the international rom. I didn't notice the problem on this rom. I was just wondering
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
No problem here and I came straight from ncg without a lock. Just used maps to navigate today. I must have some developers helping me do something right.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
It's such a habit for me to put GPS on high accuracy and open maps and make sure that I don't remember if I purposely didn't get a lock before I installed this rom to make sure. Verizon must have finally fixed that. On the S4 it would even happen on their own roms

Is there a way to get the verizon visual vmail app working ?? Found some old posts about build prop edit but the lines it says to edit don't exist. Guessing that was for kit kit roms

Should i try to use google voice for visual vmail?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cleve321:
I second that. Is there a way?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] amaury48:
Is there a way to set the dpi for larger text? Screens are too small for my tired eyes....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I will check into this tonight.

You can get apse in the market to change your dpi. Or if you want you may change the build prop dpi. I did have it at a larger text dpi and that was only because of a file that was in a mod we needed for data. This may sound weird but I would almost swear it seems faster with the dpi we have now and besides this is the dpi the rom on the international forums has. I would really like to keep it as close to the original it just feels better not changing his creation If I don't have to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] amaury48:
Thanks for the info and I understand not wanting to change things. Rom is excellent otherwise. .....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
In the build.prop these are the only 2 setting that will not affect play store apps

ro.sf.lcd_density=480

ro.sf.lcd_density=360

There is no way to get visual voice mail working on an international rom as it verifies the user keys on the rom build as part of the validation to the verizon system. I have spent countless hours trying to get this to work with no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snafufx:
I ended up downloading texdroider dpi from play store and switched it to 480,rebooted and at stock dpi. I had the same issue. This rom is running real smooth, I'm glad to have 3minit and long press for flashlight back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
I also went up to 480dpi. Can we flash a different touch wiz lauancher also? Grid size on this one seems kinda funny?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Ok so I reflashed the rom and there it was the no GPS lock bug. If you find your GPS not working you can tell by opening google maps and if there is no GPS Icon in the status bar its not working your only gettting a network location lock not GPS. To fix this problem you will have to flash back to a verizon rom make sure you turn on GPS to High Accuracy Mode and then open google maps and make sure you get the GPS Icon in the status bar once you have a gps lock you can then reinstall this rom and GPS will work. If coming from another rom to this rom just make sure you have GPS turned on to High Accuracy and make sure you have a GPS lock and you will be good
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Flash what you want. I know there is another option for a different configuration in aroma which I would need to replace in the updater script. I will take a look.

No guarantee anything you flash will work. This is a port and I personally will not support bringing difference Touchwiz launchers and flashing them then fixing what happened after you flash so flash at your own risk.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
What is the current grid layout for this rom? 4x5 launcher and 5x6 app menu??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
Can I back up my rom with flashfire install stock rom to get he GPS working then restore to my flashfire backup? Instead of reinstalling everything?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Is there anywhere I can pick up the stock Music app? I tried downloading a couple off the playstore but none of them upload my playlist's....

OTHER THAN THAT this ROM is ROCKING!!!! AWESOME WORK!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
As far as backups go, I would use safestrap. I have never used fflash fire for backups. I have been told by others that flash fireis not reliable for backups on our phone.

Not sure at the moment I am playing with a rom I ported last night only to wake up and be told by an international developer that he never allows people to port his stuff. Evidently some people don't believe in open source. I believe they should be in the iPhone community.

I am sure with a simple search you would be able to find one. I am not sure it would be the actual touchwiz you are looking for though. I am looking into releasing an alternate version with other options enabled that I took out during port.

How to get back to SS

Since FlashFire isn't working anymore, I am stuck on 1.3 because i cant seem to find a way to flash a zip file.

Is there an apk for SafeStrap for Lollipop? or another way to flash a zip without a complete wipe back to NCG

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
You have to use safestrap

Great ROM. The only issue i've noticed so far is the theme store does not work. Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM or a Samsung restriction. Also, would love to see an option to change boot animations in a future update!

Keep up the great work!

Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop_V3.zip

This will install safestrap just open up lollipop safestrap click install safestrap wait for super user prompt then click install safestrap once installed click the back button and click Recovery Reboot follow prompts and your good to go
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
He can't use Flashfire because the app expired all he needs to do is reset his date and he can flash it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I guess now would be a good time to change back to SafeStrap!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I use both. Flashfire is great when you come straight from kk to lollipop custom rom and need to get strapped up safely. This way you can Flash the root tool zip by that one guy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Thanks you, if peoe pushed the thanks button as much as they said thank you I would be a Supa star!

I have another release in the next couple days of a port that is really cool also. Just have some final kinks to work out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JeffersonDavis:
Thanks, I thought that N12 flasher suffered from the same fate as downgrading via Odin to a safestrap kernel.

I tried and tried, then finally set date to sometime in 2014 and it worked,.

Thank you both.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Thanks, I back dated FF and got to the 9.6 update, now that everything seems cool, I'll probably back date to FF again and flash the V3 tool, by that guy....

.....So I can get the lollipop safestrap app again.

Thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
I really like this rom everything worked out of the box but the dpi was the only thing I couldn't get pass I even tried dpi changer with ui crashing couldn't get back to the app to restore original dpi had to go back to OG5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Wierd, the DPI changer worked for me... textdroider dpi. Acutally changed mine to 420, good balance...

Loving everything so far, hit the "Thanks" button a couple times. ;). Hey I can't find the setting, when I get an email or test and look at the lock screen it says "Content hidden". How do I change that so it shows???

ALSO are their other options for the pull down toggle icons? I noticed the update changes the stock 1.3. I really liked your "Blue Halo" once jrkruse!!!

THANKS to the both of you for your hard work. Looking forward to more in the future!!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Thats alright the other rom your working on I noticed my Lollipop Safestrap app will not reboot to recovery after it flashes the kitkat kernel and then when you click reboot to recovery now it does nothing so you have to reboot with the power menu so I will have to figure that out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I will get to working on it in a bit here gotta do some homework!!!

OP UPDATED with all in one flashable zip. No more flashing multiple files its all included.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
That will make it alot easier and less confusing. I must say I usually dont run a rom very long but I have actually run this a few days it really is a nice rom thanks for the port.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
I am exactly the same way. I never run roms long at all and the last one I ran awhile was your BOG5 with the Dark it up Red Theme. I really do like this rom. It just works and it is super smooth. I think the next steps are to take out galaxy tools (it doesn't work anyways) and maybe go back and grab some different aroma options to try. Without you I would not have this rom ported as well as it is. You have been a humongous help, THanK YOU!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Your welcome. I think all galaxy tools needs to work is the hidden menu apk from the verizon rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Nice to know I will add it to my list. I love that app!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rusticoar:
After following this to a T, I get system ui and s planner crashes non stop. 1 second apart. It starts after this step "Next flash BOG5 firmware zip then Phoenix 1.3 then for good measure flash BOG5 again".

I've also tried flashing straight to the allinone zip, but I get the same results. Not sure where to go from here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
The simplest solution for you is to go to the OP and flash the all in one zip I posted about an hour ago and you will not have to flash anything other than it. This works well after the odin flash to ncg and installing safestrap. I JUST DID IT MYSELF. Odined back to NCG and installed safestap after installing busybox and rooting with towelroot v3. Then I went to safestrap and flashed the all in one zip.........Voila!!!!!! I am on the 9.6 and I have had not one issue. Try that and see what happens but really if you try this and it does something else than you have a phone from another planet that I would really wonder if it even exists because after odining you are starting from scratch and I just did it myself with not one issue let alone a system ui crash. I have flashed this rom 6 times in 4 days and not seen one of those. So yeah.........have at it. DOWNLOAD THE ALL IN ONE AND FLASH THAT!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rickytr23:

on 9.6 not working mobile data. missing menu Safestrap at startup
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rusticoar:
Thanks for the quick reply, but that is what I've done.

I've had no problem Odin back to ncg, skipping setup, towel rooting, installing busybox and safestrap. I've even successfully backed up in safestrap.

Maybe I have a bad/wrong ncg tar. Do you have a link?

This is what I used: "ALL_VZW_G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_964333_REV00_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar"

Or maybe I have the wrong version of busybox or safestrap. What versions should I have? Do you have a link?

gear manager

is this touchwiz base? is this on lollipop bootloader or kitkat? was mainly wondering if gear manager would install for galaxy gear 1.

thanks in advance!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] HazeMC:
battery and overheat problems are already solved for this lollipop version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
This is tw and lollipop as of bootloader bod5 is the last you can downgrade from my bootloader is bod5. oe1 and OG5 bootloader can't be rooted
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
and the winner is

I have not tried exposed yet,dont use it. If you test and it does not work I can certainly look into fixing it.

There should not be a menu for safestrap at startup as this rom flashes BOG5 kernel and you would need to be usually on NCG or a kit kat kernel. This is why you use flashfire and flash [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] rooting tools (the download is in the forums and a few pages back) then you will be able to access safestrap from this rom, you will need to flash the BOG5 kernel through odin or safestrap. There is a firmware package that is available for safestrap, I use the complete firmware package it does not hurt anything.

As far as data not working you would need to tell us what you have tried to fix it and what network you are on. Also why did it all of the sudden have data issues, this rom does not have that issue if you are correctly provisioned.

WOW, hard to believe you are still having issues. The tar above is what I use. I use [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] rooting tools zip that I have unzipped and put on my sd card to root after flashing ncg. The versions I use are as follows, the tar you mentioned above, 3.75 safestrap, any of the newer busyboxes will work this is not the issue. What kind of card are you using? I always flash from my sd card and I recently bought a 128 gb sd card from geek.com for like 18 bucks, of course it was counterfeit and it caused tons of flashing issues. Weird ones. What card are you flashing from? Try a different one. Report back.

OH, you got me on this one, I forgot all of this in the OP of course if you read it and followed the links you would know this is TW and it is Lollipop, You would have to try it and see. This is a port and most things work but for specifics such as this you will have to try your self.

This rom is an extremely well built rom and I have not heard of overheating issues. As far as battery issues, I would ask anyone who complains about this and is a flasher that after they flash this they use battery life repair first to fix any bad blocks in battery, then they must use Advance Battery Calibration app these apps are both great if you use them together and they are by far the greatest thing you can do for your battery if you flash roms. It is important to repair first and then Calibrate next, which means after calibration you would turn phone off and let it charge all the way to 100% not 99% so it is best to do this before you go to bed. If this has not been done I dont want to hear about your battery issues.

have to say I think i have found possibly my newest daily driver. installed gear manager and communication with shealth and notifications seem to be working as should. Only issues I have found is ingress screenshots app will not allow me to take a screenshot by clicking on the hud notification as normal....I can take screenshot using home and power although there is a short delay. also found that quick connect does not seem to work for me but is not really a issue for me as i do not use it. it prompts for update but fails.
