I keep having errors with music and launcher3. I use Apex but I dunno why I still get the error. Something must be hardcoded. Anything I can change or remove? I love the rom.

I installed this rom on my updated bok rooted phone. Now I have all sorts of proccesses stopping. I used the rescue tar in odin and the processess are still stopping. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Did you guys do full wipes before you installed the rom. Wipe system,wipe data,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
yes but I used flashfire
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
Did you read the OP? I think you just answered your own problem...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
Thank you. But is there a fix or is the phone ruined? I can't get past TouchWiz fc and I can't reroot the phone or stop the force closes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] coopmaster:
how do you get this rom to be reconized in device manager, as i use android studio but it always just says client not ready.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You said earlier you used odin rescue tar image. What were you referring too. Their is no rescue tar image for bok3. If you flashed and odin tar image over the top of a deodexed rom you are going to have to start over because you now have no root. So reboot phone to stock recovery wipe data, reboot to bootloader use odin and flash the proper tar image. If you were on BOK3 bootloader then just use the one on the root page
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
That is the one I used but I still get the force closes. I see you said wipe data in recovery. I think that is the solution. Thank you for responding.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] thanks for the brilliant work on this device. I do have a question for you, sent a pm. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jetjaguar:
Two things...

Nice ROM. Very fast. But I'm having two issues.

1. When I flash the flashlight zip it doesn't seem to do anything. Isn't it supposed to add a new icon in the notification panel?

2. Where did the Lock screen wallpaper setting go? I can only change the main wallpaper.

Thanks for the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
For those of you who already have safestrap installed. Here is and update zip to update safestrap. I removed the rom slots since you cannot use them. also added a reminder to flash lollipop kernel. Removed the Format data option as it did not work and caused bootloop. Removed Fix Permissions as they did not work either

Here are the directions

Download Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_V4.zip

reboot to safestrap and flash zip. When you leave safestrap make sure and flash the BOK3 kernel which was place in a folder for easy finding. When you flashed the zip it placed the bok3 kernel in a folder on your internal and external sd card called .1OK3_Stock_KERNEL folder. Make sure you do not delete these folders

return to rom and open lollipop safestrap and click on Install Safestrap accept any SU prompts and click Uninstall Recovery

after it says State: Not Installed reboot phone Click Install Recovery

If state doesnt change after clicking Install Recovery then reboot phone and come back To this point and see if it says State Installed. If not try again

Now you will have updated safestrap

Where can I find an uninstaller zip for this - xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip? I want to try snapprefs and searching xda forums can't find the uninstaller in case I need it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] twelvevyan:
xposed uninstaller

This thread, http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463, tells you to use this uninstaller, http://xdaforums.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118.

I haven't used it though, because this ROM is great with Xposed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Don't use the uninstaller! It causes bootloops. If you want to uninstall xposed, dirty flash the ROM without flashing xposed. I did a writeup on Snapchat and snapprefs in this thread.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
1) You need to flash the extra toggles zip as well.

2) Go into the gallery and choose the picture you want as your lockscreen wallpaper, then hit the 3 dot tab at the top of the screen and tap set as lock screen wallpaper.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I love the theme of your modified safestrap!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Thanks. I looked at the other one so many times I was sick of it!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
Hi jrkruse. Thank you for your help before. What is missing from this rom that it does not support vpn connections if you happen to know?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I have VPN settings on my phone, so I believe he added VPN back with one of the latest flashable mods. I never play with VPN, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it works or not lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jetjaguar:
Two things resolved

1. I reflashed the Extra Toggles and Flashlight zips. Fixed.

2. I set the Lock screen wallpaper from the Gallery. Fixed.

Thanks CVertigo1.

Think you could unlock the bootloader? ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I'm glad to hear it! As for unlocking the bootloader, I barely have enough skill to modify colors in an app lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] coopmaster:
how do I fix the device drivers for this rom, everytime i connect it , it just says adb device, how do i fix this? as i cant read or write to the internal or external memory
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
So is this an update to the update zip you posted just recently? I love the new Safestrap btw.

is there a Dark theme zip that can be used for this Rom? I really missed it from BOG5. THANKS for everything [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

[/COLOR]

So, if I flash this (Already having installed the Safestrap zip from last time) it's just gong to be corrected then?...

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

I had the same problem, uninstaller didn't work.

If I flash the New *Safestrap PM V4, Then dirty flash the Room with Extra Toggles, that Flashlight Toggle should work? That would be sweet.

aside from some small bugs bro, everything you told me to do had worked so far...it's been great!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xWAKESx:
I had to wipe my phone. I forgot to reinstall xposed framework firmware. What's the proper process for flashing the xposed firmware so I don't get into a bootloop on those rom? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buschris:
I installed a few apps and now my phone says I have run out of memory? I uninstalled all of those and more bloat, and still it gives me an out of memory error. I checked settings and I have many gigs of memory left on my phone. What gives?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
well how much stuff do you have on your internal storage?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buschris:
fresh re-partition and wipes, fresh root and then full wipes and then the ROM with all the recommended stuff flashed right behind it. I put my sdcard in and started installing some apk's, maybe 10 or so and ran into the out-of-memory problem. Says I have lots of memory in settings.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 9394888:
Noobie here. Bought a Verizon S5 with:

1) Safestrap installed (Ssafestrap 3.75 TWRP v2.7.1.0) Rom Slot: stock

2) Android Version 4.4.2

3) Baseband version G900VVRU1ANCG

4) Kernel Version

3.4.0

dpi@SWDD5814 # 1

Mon Mar 31 13:30:24 KST 2014

5) on boot shows Safestrap: Disabled

Can I follow the steps in the OP and flash each step's file from TWRP? If so do I need to specify which slot to flash the rom in step 1? Will this upgrade my baseband, kernel, modem, etc? Also do I need to flash Signature_Verifi_Fix_BOK3.zip? If so, which step? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
1) you need to READ this...carefully...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3161043

2) you need to READ the OP for this thread...carefully

3) don't just read the OP for each thread, you ACTUALLY need to read through all the posts to see what additional info has become available by other members asking questions and getting answers...

4) ...Do it Again...

5) ...refer to 4 above^^

6) yet again, refer to 4 & 5...

(Seriously, I'm not being crass, what you are doing on this forum is not to be taken lightly)

That is probably the best advice I can give you.

P.S. DON'T Use the Rom SLOT. You want to use the "Stock" SLOT...One of the things you need to READ about?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
I literally just flashed V4. I don't want to use Flashfire, so if nothing has been updated for Safestrap outside of Flashfire*...I'm good right?

The rom doesn't allow connections to any of the vpn apps or psiphon app which I use frequently. Same with the no be bog roms. I'm just wondering if there is a fix.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
The problem is every vpn app isays ut was unable to get permission to start a vpn connection . There is something missing in these stripped down roms that allows that permission that the fuller roms have even after using the debloater zips. Thank you for responding

What I've read and found out on how to remove an xposed version to either remove or update, is to

- pull the original "core-libart.jar" from the rom you're using and replace it with the one in the system setting the correct permissions

- reboot to safestrap recovery and flash "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip"

- wipe cache and dalvek cache

- flash your kernel that you're using in your ROM

- reboot (it'll take a while to get to home screen, so be patient)

- xposed is now Uninstalled

- reboot to recovery if you're wanting to flash a different xposed version and do the wiping steps and flash kernel as before.

Hope this helps you and others. I've done this 10+ times with no issues from V65 to V75.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I think I know the cause of your issue. If you go to the Play Store, do the same apps show as needing to be updated every time?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] anitract:
I too have found that VPN does not function regardless of which client I use. When I run OpenConnect, I get the following message: "Unfortunately your Android device does not have proper VpnService support."

Based on some googling, I found the following thread (remove the spaces as I cannot yet post hyperlinks): forum.xda -developers .com/showthread.php?t=2677098

So it seems like maybe VpnDialogs.apk is missing. I'd be REALLY grateful if someone could assist in possibly hunting down a version of the APK mentioned in the above link for our version of android and instructions on installing after having already installed BS ROM. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I have the apk and I'll put it in the V4 update that I plan to upload today. Since I never mess with VPNs, I won't be able to accurately see if it's working properly, so it will be up to you to tell me if it works or not lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buschris01:
I can't recall, but I ended up doing a complete annihilation of my phone, flashed pit file and bok, then wiped again and did the root procedure, installed safestrap again and then wiped fully and reinstalled the ROM. Seems to be working fine now. What do you think could have been the issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] anitract:
Awesome! While you're poking around...just curious, are there any other VPN apk files in /system/app/ ?

I am very new to custom flashing and finally have almost everything setup again on my phone off of this ROM (mega thanks for the work)....is there a way for me to install the apk (or can you upload just the apk) so as to avoid re-flashing the v4 update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
There is an issue with duplicate directories being made in /data/app/ The phone only registers the 1st directory for the app, which happens to be the oldest version of the app, so it keeps prompting that the app needs to be updated. When this problem happens, another directory is made every time you update the app. The directory is supposed to be updated or replaced, not duplicated. Just to mention, I have had this problem on many devices running many different ROMs, so it is not an issue with the ROM, per se.

I'll see what I can do.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] anitract:
Excellent, I really appreciate. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xWAKESx:
Thanks for the reply. The issue I have though is I got into a bootloop last time I tried using the Uninstaller like OP said happens sometimes. And how do I even do this "pull the original "core-libart.jar" from the rom you're using and replace it with the one in the system setting the correct permissions"?

OP "Don't use the uninstaller! It causes bootloops. If you want to uninstall xposed, dirty flash the ROM without flashing xposed. I did a writeup on Snapchat and snapprefs in this thread."

So I flashed rom, didn't flash xposed firmware, but xposed is still installed on device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
What I did was extract the ROM's Zip file and searched for the "core-libart.jar", copied to my SD card. Then using a file explorer replace it with the one that's in your system and set the correct permissions. Reboot to recovery and flash the "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip" for versions below his V75. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash the kernel that you're using in your ROM. Reboot system and wait. Your wait time for the home screen will take some time. It's ranged from 10 - 20 minutes. But I do know doing this method it works. I actually found this in his (Arter) forum. Just had to do a lot of searching and reading but it works. Hope this helps you in any way
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Trak-X:
So, if anyone needs, i took the VpnDialogs file from a Vzw Note 3 with Lollipop and put it in this rom. Now my VPN works fine.

File is attached.

With ADB, but you can use a Root browser too, open /SYSTEM/PRIV-APP. Create a folder VpnDialogs with permission 755 and put inside the apk. Make sure the apk is owned by root (root:root) and has permission 644. Just reboot and that is all.

If needed, i can put the adb commands as well. I tested with OpenVPN for Android as that is the app that i use.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] anitract:
Thanks for the apk file, I'll give it a shot tonight!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:

Coming from KK Stock Rooted I followed your instructions except I used Flashfire. The ROM booted fine and over two days not a single problem or concern. Today I dirty-flashed V4 with Flashfire, wiped dalvik and cache and again had no problems. Thank you for the great job with this ROM.

All of your hard work and attentive activity is very much appreciated! Help that was received by both you was VERY useful. I am running this ROM and its running very smooth, although 3C Android Tuner hangs a little bit when I clear cache (at least more than it used to). Can you tell me if Dark_It_Up_Lollipop_V4 theme will work with this? Or something like that? I really prefer dark themes, easier on the eyes.

Quick question about safestrap I'm currently using the ROM on this thread. Couldn't find the answer through searching. I need to create a backup in safestrap.

After I create a backup or do any type of flashing on safestrap. I need to flash the G900V_OK3_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip??

I'd like to try and install your update posted here for safestrap.

Yesterday I got my phone into a bootloop and was freaking out. I just don't want to do that again. Been reading through a lot of the forums like the snapprefs one (still having trouble with getting that to work for some reason) I don't want to be that "new guy" that just keeps asking questions without doing the searching first.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
When you used Zipsigner, did you set key-mode as Platform? I didn't specify, so that is my mistake. Another thing I have found to work at times is to install the Snapchat app before you sign it. After logging in and making sure it works, install the signed Snapchat app over top of it. Make a backup of Snapchat in Titanium, then flash Xposed. If it stops working after Xposed, you can usually restore the app data in Titanium and it will start working again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
You will need to reflash that kernel any time you enter Safestrap, regardless of whether you backup/flash anything new. The only way to get into Safestrap in the first place is to flash an older kernel, so you need to replace it with the new one before rebooting into your regular system.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] painiac:
I'm having an obscure problem with data reception after installing this ROM. I don't see how it could be the ROM, since nobody else has mentioned this problem. It must be some misconfiguration or something I've done wrong.

I did a full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data) with SafeStrap before installing.

Wifi works great. Cell reception shows between 2-4 bars and usually claims to have 4G, but trying to load any websites or even using the Play store is incredibly slow. I tried to download a small app, and it estimated 2 hours to complete.

I even tried flashing the BOK3 modem to see if it would correct the issue.

I just tried flashing it again this morning after a full wipe, I cleared cache and dalvik cache afterwards, and without installing any of the addons, with the same problem persisting. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know if it's relevant, but I originally came from rooted NK2, and had updated to Lollipop by flashing "OK3 Stock Rooted ROM" with an OD5 bootloader. (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784)

How do you fix this? Everything was going great until today. some things started getting quite buggy, I don't know where to start. It just keeps getting progressively worse. I can't load my browser, I have constant update notifications for my apps. All did was use TB to integrate System App Updates into ROM...in hindsight, seems like it was a BAD IDEA.

What is the best straight forward way to Start Over with this ROM to get back to square 1?

~ .m3ntalpurg3.bin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
To be "Straight forward", and in my opinion, you need to do a fresh/clean install and a full wipe. I'd never do a TB restore of system apps. It's a totally different system. So that's why your having issues with your phone....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
I didn't do a restore of system apps, I did the "Integrate System Updates into ROM" option. I'm guessing now though, that I thought I knew what I was doing but didn't...[emoji22]

I just want to make sure that doing a complete full wipe with the new upgraded Safestrap Recovery, following all those steps I'm not going to screw myself.

That is to say that once I do full reboot ViPER4A, Extra Toggles, so on...basically everything BUT Xposed - I'm not gonna have to go through the steps again for Safestrap. I know [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] said that in his post but idk if that applies to FRESH Installs as well. If I will have to that's fine....I just want my phone to work again and need the steps (exactly) because I don't have a PC right now to do the rescue.tar if something goes wrong. my situation, is VERY DELICATE.

Thanks for all the help! [emoji106] [emoji106]

Maybe I should start using a different Root Tool other than TB? It's all that I have ever known but should I try something else??

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Go into your /data/app/ directory and look for duplicate directories. If you see any that say app-1, app-2, app-3, app-4, ect, keep the highest numbered directory (such as app-4) and delete the directories that are less than that, then rename -4 to -1. After you do that for all the duplicates, reboot the phone, and all issues should be solved.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
For reception issues, reflash the BOK3 firmware only. I've had it happen to me a couple times since I posted this ROM and reflashing has fixed it.
