[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
Instructions and Features of the latest available Rom version

Version 6.1 based on CQAV is available for Download Many of you who are using TWRP 3.0.0-0 or PhilZ Recovery experienced issues after flashing v6.0 with write access of apps to the internal sdcard. This was caused by the sdcard fix script from osm0sis which obviously only works with TWRP 3.0.2 or higher.

Version 6.1 solves this issue and is compatible again with TWRP 3.0.0-0 or PhilZ Recovery.

If you are already successfully using v6.0 you can stay with it as this is the only difference between v6.0 and v6.1. If you need to flash the rom again to use other options etc. you should use v6.1.

New Version 6.0 based on CQAV is available for DownloadMany of you was looking for an update of the sound mods. Thanks to all beta testers I was able to implement a new combo of the latest ARISE + eXtremeBeats.

Big thanks again to all beta testers who helped me to keep the rom alive as I don’t have my S5 anymore.

What’s new in 6.0 vs. 5.9:

New G900F Rom base CQAV

Change list 9493471

New Android Security Patch Level – Jan. 1, 2017

New Bootloader & Modem Combi

CQAV Bootloader

CQAW Modem

Updated several build.prop settings to improve smoothness, multitasking and lag free operation thanks to @airidosas252

More details here

Sound mods

NEW Viper4Arise/eXtremeBeats xXx Combo thanks to @A.R.I.S.E. Sound Systems and @Ben Feutrill

Set sound.mod=3 in xXx.options.prop to get it. (new default)

To get my favorite headset sound profile for perfect bass and clarity open Viper4Arise app, go to the menu and “Load Effect Profile” called “Deep Bass+Clarity” thanks to @mantakos

After applying the profile, don’t forget to switch on the Master Power” switch in Viper4Arise

Please Note: This new sound mod combo is not compatible with the previous one. It will completely replace any old sound mod and I didn’t add Dolby ATMOS as an option for this as this new combo itself is more than awesome especially in combination with the Effect Profile from mantakos.

Known Issue: After each phone restart you will see the green apps updating screen for about 1 sec. Don’t worry, but we couldn’t get rid of this so far.

OLD V4A Combo is still available with the following settings:

Set sound.mod=1 in xXx.options.prop to get Viper4Android + eXtremeBeats

Set sound.mod=2 in xXx.options.prop to get Viper4Android + eXtremeBeats + Dolby ATMOS

SDcard Fix Permissions script thanks to @osm0sis

Added this script as a new option.

It’s NOT solving the known r/w access permission issues in Marshmallow but fix ownership and permissions of files and directories on the sdcard to what they would be if Android OS had put them there itself, since some apps can't access pushed files that have root.root as owner/group.

Sometimes Apps FC when trying to access/write files on sdcard even they seem to have correct r/w permissions. This might fix this issues.

Set sdcard.fix=1 in xXx.options.prop to get it. (new default)

Please Note: Depending on how much files you have stored on your sdcard it can take up to several minutes to scan and fix it!! Therefore don't become nervous when Rom flashing process will stuck here for a while. It will continue. Promised J

Also this sdcard.fix option is triggered whenever you choose the new sound mod to be installed.

Updated xXx.options.prop to v14

New defaults

sdcard.fix=1

xposed=2

sound.mod=3

SuperSU 2.7.7 Stable for best compatibility

Updated Boeffla Config App to 2.4.28

Requires a system restart after a clean install and the very first initial Boeffla Settings App execution

Special Notes:

Rooting option is enabled by default but flashing this Rom with root enabled will trip Knox so you will end up with in Knox 0x1.

Some Tweaks are requiring the rom to be deodexed. Therefore installing xXx Tweaks will also trigger rom deodexing no matter what.

Please make sure to provide root permission to the SystemUpdateService Disabler when asked

sdcard.fix option is triggered no matter what if you choose the new sound.mod=3 to be installed

Known issue: There seem to be an issue that the stock music player fc after it was updated to the latest version via Play store. We will look into that and hopefully find a fix.

Suhide is still on v0.55 and most probably don’t work since Nov. security updates anymore.

root.supersu=2 in xXx.options.prop was not tested anymore and I suppose that it would not work anymore and end up in a bootloop.

So better use root.supersu=1 only.

New Version 5.9 based on CPLV is available for Download

Even I always said that I would like to stay on the G900FXXU1 type firmware I decided now to switch to G900FXXS1. The reason is that for 2 or 3 month now the monthly Android Security updates was always provided as “S1” about 2 weeks before “U1”. Also as @TheHiman reported earlier, it looks like the S1 type firmware supports VoLTE which the “U1” firmware don’t. http://xdaforums.com/gala...7#post70012597

The main reason why I wanted to keep staying with the U1 type was that switching back and forth may not allow dirty flashes without experiencing errors from Google Partner Setup etc. I had some beta testers who tested several configurations and confirmed that even dirty flashing works fine. So shouldn’t be an issue.

There was several users complaining about slow boot up times and it was reported that SuperSU 2.7.7 stable didn’t have this issue. For beta testing I used latest v2.7.9 SR1 and this failed in combination with PhoeniX Reborn kernel. Therefore I decided to go for SuperSU 2.7.7 stable. If you still want to go for the latest SuperSU just flash it after the rom in sequence or any time later.

I saw several requests to update the sound mods like V4A and eXtremeBeats to the latest version. I didn’t find the time yet to do so.

Big thanks again to all beta testers who helped me to keep the rom alive as I don’t have my S5 anymore.

New Version 5.8 based on CPK3 is available for Download

Yes, I said I will stop the development for the S5. That’s still true. What I did is just created a new 5.8 version based on CPK3 and updated several components like supersu, kernel, xposed etc. As long as this method is working without the need to update any of the mods it’s an faily easy task for me.

Nevertheless, an experienced user tested it for me and everything seems to work fine. Therefore, herewith I make the G900F version available to all of you.

What’s new in 5.8 vs. 5.7:

New G900F Rom base CPK3

Change list 9493471

New Android Security Patch Level – Nov. 1, 2016

New Bootloader & Modem Combi

CPK3 Bootloader

CPJ1 Modem

Updated SuperSU 2.7.8 SR5

Updated Xposed framework by wanam to v87.1

· Updated Material Design Xposed Installer to latest Nov. 2016 Version

Set xposed=2 in xXx.options.prop to get it

Set xposed=1 for original Rovo Xposed Installer v3.1 (default)

Updated Boeffla-Kernel and App to v2.4 Final

Set kernel=3 in xXx.options.prop to get it

Requires a system restart after the very first initial Boeffla Settings App execution

Special Notes:

· Rooting option is enabled by default but flashing this Rom with root enabled will trip Knox so you will end up with in Knox 0x1.

· Some Tweaks are requiring the rom to be deodexed. Therefore installing xXx Tweaks will also trigger rom deodexing no matter what.

· Version 5.8 can be dirty flashed over at least all 4.x versions. All earlier Versions especially Lollipop version like v1.6 or older should definitely be clean installed.

o Although it helps to make a clean install from time to time to get rid of some weird issues. Read user experience here

· Please make sure to provide root permission to the SystemUpdateService Disabler when asked

· Suhide is still on v0.55 and most probably don’t work with latest Nov. security updates anymore. root.supersu=2 in xXx.options.prop was not tested anymore and I suppose that it would not work anymore and end up in a bootloop. So better use root.supersu=1 only.

New Version 5.7 based on CPJ6 is available for Download

What’s new in 5.7 vs. 5.6:

Change list 9493471

New Android Security Patch Level – October 1, 2016

New Bootloader & Modem Combi

Hopefully finally fixed DCMprovider error message

G900W8 stock firmware was not updated yet but got the xXx 5.7 rom update which this time is the DCMprovider error message fix only. If you don’t experience that, no need to update.

Special Notes:

· Rooting option is enabled by default but flashing this Rom with root enabled will trip Knox so you will end up with in Knox 0x1.

· Some Tweaks are requiring the rom to be deodexed. Therefore installing xXx Tweaks will also trigger rom deodexing no matter what.

· Version 5.7 can be dirty flashed over at least all 4.x versions. All earlier Versions especially Lollipop version like v1.6 or older should definitely be clean installed.

o Although it helps to make a clean install from time to time to get rid of some weird issues. Read user experience here

o Important Note for G900W8 users: v5.7 is based on latest G900W8VLS1DPF3. If you are coming from v5.0 (or lower) G900W8VLU1DPD3 you most probably will experience errors from Google Partner Setup etc. You could try to wipe data of the respective app to fix this but best you can do is a clean install.

· Please make sure to provide root permission to the SystemUpdateService Disabler when asked

· Suhide is still on v0.55. Chainfire recently posted that he will update it but it might take some more time as he is planning to release a new SuperSU version first.

· If anybody is missing his desired CSC please provide me with information which specific stock rom includes that.
