I imagine you can use DFS to enable the bands. I used it to enable all the LTE bands and it worked fine. I haven't' tried the GSM bands though.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
so it does actually have gsm radios and they arent disabled in the modem partitions?

im a lil familiar with dfs and *#27663368378# but the later does not keep gsm enabled after it reboots when it tells u too
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
I'm not sure honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] whmgreen:
I'm very interested in knowing about enabling GSM bands in the R7 using DFS. Can you give any further insight on this? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
im very interested too.

thats why i made a comment about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
has anyone even tried to get att or tmobile working in usa or any gsm working internationaly?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
DFS shows all the bands are enabled, but that doesn't mean they will work. I'll find some SIM's and try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
dfs only shows cdma bands i believe
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ANDROIDRAZRM:
Are there any other custom ROMs available for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
Not that I've found. Sorry for the lack of updates. This time of year is really busy for me. I have not abandoned the project, I just haven't had time to troubleshoot/make new builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
any more updates?

what builds actually work?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
cm-12.1-20151120-UNOFFICIAL-klteusc.zip works aside from the issues listed in the first post. I worked on a new build a couple days ago, but had the same issues. I cannot get KLTEUSC to build. I can build KLTESPR all day long, and it will flash to the device, but then com.android.phone force closes constantly. I will work on it some more this weekend. If any one wants to give it a shot, I can share the steps I used to build each. I'm not really a developer, I just knew enough to get this to build a few times. Ha-ha.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
can this C-Spire GS5 be put on a us cellular prepaid plan?

if so i would like to tru and flash that klteusc build.

ill wait for newer build. i think there are still ppl interested in these unified builds for their GS5
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Sure, I would love the know the steps you used to build the nTelos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I am going to attempt a build of this myself, but I have a few questions for you regarding this. I assume you started with the raw CM 12.1 source tree. What files did you pull from the Samsung ROM? Obviously the build.prop, but what else? Also, is this using the stock CM kernel included in the source, or are you continuing to use the stock Samsung kernel? What system are you using this to build with? I will be using Fedora 22 64bit. I am updating my Android SDK as I type this.

If you could provide any information that could be helpful, I would certainly appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
I put a text file in the ROM download directory with the steps I used to build this. I basically copied my bash history and added a few notes. I built it using Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have any luck. I haven't tried in a week or so, could be time to try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Thank you for the your bash history file. I have attempted building twice so far, without success. I don't expect you would have any idea why, but I am failing on this and I think it is because something failed to download properly. What a download it was too. OMG almost 15GB!

Do I need to have the 32bit versions of gcc+ installed? I think that could be a problem too, because I don't.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
If you pull the files from the muppets repo, you shouldn't have to pull the files from the phone too. You're having the the same issues I've had since December with KLTEUSC, it just keeps failing to build in random spots. Try doing the same for KLTESPR. It usually builds, but then has issues once I flash it to my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Yes, you are right! KLTESPR builds fine. It also flashes and boots. I have not had it installed long enough to check the stability of it however. It took nearly 2.5 hours to build on a 4GHz octacore CPU. Wow!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I did manage to get CM-13.0 (6.0.1) to build too. It installs and boots fine. However once I install GApps, it all goes to hell and keeps getting stuck on the setup to the point I cannot get by it. I have not tried using a different GApps package yet. Also, it seems the APNs section in Mobile Networks has been removed. I could not find anywhere a place to put in my nTelos APN data.

Anyway I am currently running my KLTESPR build of CM-12.1 containing all the March 1 patches. So far, all is good. I will keep you informed as time goes on with it. I ended up dirty flashing it just to save time, but it seems very solid so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
When I dirty flashed from my KLTEUSC build to the KLTESPR build I didn't have any problems either, but if I wiped and did a clean flash of the KLTESPR build I had all sorts of problems. haha. I'll have to try the 6.0.1. Last time I tried it failed to build but it's been a while. As for the APN's try adding the Ntelos info the APN file before building. That's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I had it fail many times too, until I discovered it was making a call to /usr/bin/mvn, which is part of the maven package. Why it needs this, I have no idea because maven is an extension for Apache. Anyway, once I installed it, it built fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
Oh damn, good to know! I'll try that tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I tried this, and it killed my build. Perhaps I am not modifying the correct thing. The file I modified was the apns-conf.xml file. Would this be correct?

Also, something too I was thinking about, do you think it would be possible to take an existing build of CM, or RR or ASOP ROM for klteusc or kltespr, decompress it, then use gparted to resize the /system partition to the size we need, change out the build.prop, fix the APNs then repack it. Do you think it would flash?

Just a crazy thought haha. It might just work!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
You have to edit the apns-conf.xml file in the ~/android/system/vendor/cm/prebuilt/common/etc directory and not in the "out" directory. I just did it and was able to build CM13 for KLTESPR. I will test it out and if it works well enough i will up load it today. As for resziing the system partion from other ROMs, I'm not sure if that will work or not. Could always try I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
I tried the cm13 build but I just keep getting the phone process force close issue I've been having with the cm12 kltespr builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Odd. I never had that problem at all with cm13. I even made a phone call with it. All worked fine until I flashed the GApps, then it would crash loop on the setup wizard.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
[MENTION=1584395]Nikoli4[/MENTION]

It would appear the GApps issue is a common problem with cm13. However, it has been reported as being fixed. I re-synced the repo and there were many changes. It built in about 47 minutes, which is the fasted it has ever built. I will test later and get back to you with my results.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Alright! Looks like I have a working cm13 now. GApps are working. No problem with the dialer, but I never had that before either. I still don't have data. I will continue working on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
Weird... I wonder my my build has the phone process error. Feel like sharing yours? Maybe there's an issue with my phone. haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Sure, I will pm you a link to get it, and if it works for you, feel free to put it up on your d/l site for others that may want to test it. I am uploading now to my FTP site.

So far, it is working very damn well! I have data now, simply by restoring my APNs with the APN Backup app. The data even survives reboots and switching back and forth between wifi. YAY! Bluetooth skipping problems seem to be gone as well. The GApps I installed were from the OpenGapps site. I used the pico version, as I figured once Play was working, the rest would be easy to get back.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
Ok Cool! I just built CM13 for KLTESPR again and everything works fine until I try to go into "Cellular Settings" then com.android.phone stops. So far no LTE though, even after replacing the APN file. To be fair though, this phone wasn't supposed to support band 5 LTE, I enabled it using DFS in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Humm, I can get into Cellular Networks just fine. No crash. Can you try disabling the band 5 support? Perhaps that is causing it? I am not even sure what that is lol. It is working perfectly (knock on wood) so far for me, and I have been messing with it heavily all evening. I am so far super impressed with it! Did you try my build of it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
Thanks to lexridge there is now a CM13 build up. If you have any issues let us know and make sure to thank lexridge for this build!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Just a few notes before you install CM-13.0:

- Please make a full backup before installing this. Also backup your APNs. You will need to restore them after flashing to get LTE data back.

- Having to re-save your APNs when switching back and forth between Data and WiFi seems to be fixed and no longer necessary.

- If you have problems with the OpenGapps, try flashing the Pico version. That is the only one I have tested.

- The bluetooth skipping is mostly fixed in this one. It will still skip slightly when waking the screen up.

- Be careful with your SDCard! Android 6 gives you the ability to use your SDCard as Internal storage. If you choose Internal rather than portable storage when it prompts you, all your data on your SDCard will be gone forever!

- and as usual, install this at your own risk. Only you are responsible if your device bricks from not installing this correctly.

For those who are not familiar with the new features CM-13 has to offer, this link provides some very good information on it: http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/12/cyanogenmod-13-cm13-features/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
I added these to the main post. FYI- My LTE worked with no APN changes needed, which is a first for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Oh cool! That's awesome it worked "right out of the box!" I assume it also switches back and forth between LTE and wifi without problems too, as mine does? I think cm-12.x was buggy in many ways. It was not just our problems, it was very wide spread. I am very happy they finally got the bugs finally rolled out of it. Yay!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Today's CM-13 build is working and posted.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

@Nikoli4 I am considering trying to build an ASOP ROM for this phone. I need to make a business trip next week, so it won't be until after that however.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
[MENTION=1584395]Nikoli4[/MENTION] What recovery are you using? I am still on Phils Touch Recovery which I see that project has been abandoned. If I want to switch to TWRP, I am assuming that I would need the one for klte? This one > https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html Also, any idea if their App installer will work if I already have PhilzTouch installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Nikoli4:
I used Odin and flashed TWRP for KLTE. That's probably your best bet
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] stevgunt:
No luck with DATA on Ntelos and no easy way to edit the APN like in cm 12....Any Ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
i have a SM-G900R7 which is be C-Spire

i was on official Android 5.0 (OH1)

i just flashed "twrp-3.0.2-1-klte.img.tar" with odin 3.07. twrp appears to be working (didnt do backup or restore) but it booted to recovery fine with 3 finger salute and also boots to android 12.1

everything seem to be installing fine.

i did the open gapps nano

phone is booting up into android is updating.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
i had to get off this rom as it started to act funny after i plugged an official samsung wall charger with the official samsung wide plug .

what it was doing is overcharging the battery or charging to fast.

either way battery was to hot and also cm was stuck in the cm cat logo pulsing like it does when you goto charge except that screen would stay on even if i unplugged the charger from phone.

it would also come back on during a reboot.

sometimes for a split second i could see the lock screen and i could unlock but then again it would go back to the cat pulsating screen.

anyhow i had to go back to cm 12.1 :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] stevgunt:
Once your on cm13 what is the best way to access the APN files I cannot seem to fins an app that will let you access it....Also while your on stock what app or process is best to backup your apn settings/files?

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
That is correct, CM13 does not provide a simple method of inserting your own custom APNs. Not that I have found anyway. You MUST MUST use APN Backup from the Play store with working data before you flash CM-13. Once you flash it, restore your backup up APNs using the same App. All should we well. It worked instantly for me multiple times on multiple clean flashes.

I have been out of town on business the past 5 days, but I will pull the updated CM sources and put a new build up in the next day or two if there are any changes..

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Just curious. Please try it with the thin micro USB and see if that makes any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
I don't have ROM installed anymore but I did do that test and it did same thing.

The batt was so low (because I couldn't leave charger connected) I was worried

What saved me was booting into twrp it charged normal when using stock official tw
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
It sounds more to me like something is crashing and running your CPUs at 100%, hence the heat issue. Did you try it without flashing GApps? Gapps gave me fits at first unless I flashed the Pico version.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
You might be right about something being triggered upon starting charging. Do you have the Verizon note 3?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
No, I don't have any versions of a Samsung Note. Only the G3 and G5.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] en11gma:
I forgot to mention I used pico

Everything was working great.

Was installing all my apps and settings and getting almost perfect then I noticed I needed to charge for a bit and that's when my trouble started
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] stevgunt:
Lexiridge

Can y ou limk me to the APK of the backup apn program you use...All the ones i try in the store will not work.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Sure thing. This is the one I use. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsylus.android.APNsBU
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] stevgunt:
Thanks I got data working but not mms
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I had to use GoSMS and make a custom APN inside that under Advanced settings. Turn on "Fill APN configuration manuall" then add http://mms.ntelospcs.net to it, and that should fix your MMS problem.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Now the bad news: After updating to the latest CM-13 repository, I can no longer get it to build. It seems to not be retrieving all that it needs. Still working on it however.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
Thanks for your work on this, lexridge. It has solved some problems I had with the 12.1 version.

Unfortunately, it has caused a very serious issue. Battery life is in the toilet. A full charge barely lasts 4 hours. Processor time stays around 11.5 continually. I have no idea what's causing it. Do you have any suggestions to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
No, I can't say I do have any suggestions. I left for work this morning at 9pm with a 100% charge. I just got home (7pm) and I still have 25% so that is really very odd indeed. So I am only using 75% in 10 hours time. Perhaps you have a run-away app causing it? CM-13 has built in some decent battery stats. Have you looked at it? Just go to Settings/Battery and you can see it there by scrolling down.

Also, on a side note. I have been having serious crashing while doing simple things like just typing a text. It would just reboot. So on Saturday I removed PhilzTouch and replaced it with the the latest TWRP and re-flashed back my latest build, viola, it fixed it. I have not had a reboot since, and I was getting about 6-8 per day.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
Finally! I got it to build again. Silly me had created a new .git for vendor/samsung, but I did it in the devices directory and not the vendor directory. DOH!. Took me days to find that fsck up! New build is up. Largely untested! It flashes and boots. Hopefully some things are fixed. Looks like there has been pretty active development on it via the CM team.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
I have checked there, yes, but nothing is standing out. Is there a way to see more detailed stats?

I have seen Gallery crash a few times. I'm not sure if that's related.

I went back to the latest stock image (BOH1) because I hadn't gotten the firmware updates for it yet. Battery was normal for it. Then, I flashed your latest build, and I'm still having the same issue.

To be specific, I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.1, booted into it, formatted everything but external SD, flashed your 4-26 image and openapps-mini from 4-25 at the same time. After booting into it, I setup my google account and selected 58 apps to restore. One odd thing about that, I had a notification bar saying "Completing setup" "Installed 0 out of 58 applications". This doesn't go away until after I reboot, even though the apps are installed and working fine.

This one is really puzzling to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I am curious if anyone else is having battery problems. Anyone else care to chime in on your battery life with cm-13? This has not been a problem for me at all. Do you have Better Battery Stats app? I am not sure if there is a free version or not, but it would certainly tell you what is eating your battery so quickly. As I mentioned in the original post, I recommend you use the Pico version of OGapps. I had problems using anything but that.

I have not allowed my apps to auto-reinstall from Google. I have been using Titanium Backup for this. I guess as long as they actually got there, is the important thing. Yes it is puzzling.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
Well, I'm not sure why this worked, but I just started over, reflashing everything, and this time, battery life is just fine. The only thing I might have done differently is after the google app backup auto install, I only restored the app data with titanium, whereas before I was restoring app+data in a batch. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but either way, battery life is as good as it's ever been.

The only outstanding problem I have right now is MMS. I can't send or receive. I had backed them up on my old ROM with APNsBU, but even after restoring them, I can't get it to work. Do you have any suggestions? I'm with C Spire, by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
That is awesome to hear! I have had pretty good luck with the latest build so far. I may check tonight to see if there are any updates, and if so do another build.

Regarding your MMS issue:

I had to use GoSMS and make a custom APN under Advanced settings. Turn on "Fill APN configuration manual" then add http://whatever.your.mms.to.c-spire.is to it, and that should fix your MMS problem. You might be able to just look at your existing C-Spire APNs to get that missing information for GoSMS. That has been the ONLY solution I have been able to find for MMS sending/receiving. Please let me know if this solution works for you.

This link may provide the correct APN for GoSMS: http://us.apnsettings.org/cspire-wireless-apn-settings-for-android-galaxy-htc-iphone.html
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
I still wasn't able to get it to work after setting up an APN with GoSMS. Do I have to actually USE GoSMS as my messaging client? I really hate the app and would rather not use it any more than absolutely necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I hated it too at first, but yes, you have to use it unless you can find another solution to this problem. This has existed for me since cm-12.1. I have never been able to use any other app for MMS, as no other app that I have found allows you to set up custom APNs within it.

EDIT: Let me use another APNS-conf file and rebuild it. I should have it posted in 10 minutes or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
Well, I didn't find a solution exactly, but I started using ChompSMS instead, which is WAY less obnoxious than GoSMS. I would recommend giving it a shot. It also lets you set a custom APN.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] lexridge:
I will certainly give that a try for sure. Curious, were you able to use your regular SMS/MMS app with 12.1? I am presently rebuilding 13.0 using the APNS-conf.xml file from 12.1. Maybe that will fix it for you. It should be built and uploaded in around 20 minutes or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hanman:
Yes, it worked fine in 12.1. I tried manually copying apns-conf.xml from an old backup, but it didn't make any difference.
