GPS issues work-around...

Please excuse the repost but I think this work-around may help any users having GPS issues on CM14 based roms. It's easy and certainly worth a try.

Today while I was driving (and using LTE) I went into location settings, clicked on the 3 dot menu, clicked scanning and turned off Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning. I immediately got a GPS lock and it has worked flawlessly since. To test this further I turned the scanning back on and still kept the flawless GPS functioning however after a reboot GPS was once again wonky. So now I just leave the scanning turned off and even after multiple reboots GPS continues to work perfectly! It gets a lock almost instantly and works flawlessly.

Experience So Far using Sprint Galaxy S5 on 5.8.0 RR

I installed this today on a Sprint Galaxy S5. Here are my observations:

Good

- Fast performance

- No bloatware

- Painless flashing with TWRP, as long as you do it clean. (Mine was over a rooted stock Marshmallow)

- Fine controls over battery and permissions. Pretty much eliminates need for Greenify and 3rd party permission managers

- Lots of customization available on appearance

- Eliminated some of the SD Card lockups in the Marshmallow ROM, though you still have to authorize each app, painfully. Lollipop was the last OS to do this without wanting to rip your hair out.

- As close to stock experience as you can get plus you have the option for a very lightweight Google Apps install and have the rest as user, not system, apps.

- Great Privacy Guard feature which is similar to App Ops

- Wifi and mobile data work fine.

- Skvalex Call Recorder works

- For me, eliminated need for Xposed, which is buggy on Marshmallow.

Bad/Need Advice or Developer Fix

- The reason I flashed in the first place did not go away - been having crazy bad screen flicker in very dim settings in Marshmallow. Nougat improved it somewhat, but problem still there.

- SERIOUS: Though the phone works, there are serious issues with the dialer. I can't access certain settings because of SIM card errors. And now I have a persistent "call forwarding enabled" notification that I can't get rid of. And I can't access that part of the settings because of an error that crashes the phone app. Need some advice here!

- Clock does not set itself to network time. No matter what you do it seems to be accurate but on some random time zone, even though settings are correct.

- There is no HD voice or voice over LTE (voLTE). I was able to access the secret menu (googled it somewhere) that has this setting, but the setting would not stay on. So if you talk to other LTE subscribers in HD, you may want to wait, unless I'm missing something.

- I actually preferred the Touchwiz quick toggles, which slide left to right. Nougat's window shade toggles cover the whole screen and push notifications all the way down by default. Not well implemented.

- Some features need too many clicks to get to the settings you want, like fine battery saver controls, app permissions, and some of the toggles.

- Google's backup/restore did not function to auto download apps when setting up the phone. I used Titanium, which generally worked OK, but you need to navigate clumsy SD card permissions for it to function right.

Overall:

Solid build, but occasionally buggy. Some of this has to do with Nougat itself, especially if coming from Lollipop.

The Sprint telephony settings need a lot of debugging and enabling LTE voice. Also hoping for flickering fix. I'd wait one more round of fixes if planning to use daily.

---

Not Tested:

Did not test Bluetooth or tethering yet.

Screen flickering nothing to do with the rom your flashing

Its about the AMOLED display :(

I have the same issue :(

But try reverting colurs with full brightness n work for a little bit

It'll give a temporary fix

And u can always try screen fixing colur splashes

But i don't recommend those things

Don't quote the entire OP. That's just dumb and a waste of space. Just post your question.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] unibombz:
AGREED ! It's the revision of phone you have (SCREEN FLICKERING) it is a hardware issue, not a software issue.

Good reporting on the ROM everyone, but it is such a early stage there is bound to be lots of bugs. the GS7 is still Beta-N. Personally I will be using RR-MM for months to come for my daily driver as it's solid. RR-N will be used on the dev-phone

I am sure we will see many bugs fixed in revisions to come (2017)

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] e-bert:
There's no Odin version for custom ROMs, but it doesn't matter (plesae read OP):

- (Optional) Flash latest Bootloader and Modem.

- Copy ROM and GApps to microSD card.

- Flash latest TWRP via Odin.

- Enter TWRP.

- Make full wipe.

- Flash ROM zip then GApps.

- Reboot.

- Wait... and profit.

that's the thing .. i'm having trouble copy it to SD that's why i asked for an ODIN ver ....

never mind i will find a soluttion for that ..

but where do i find that "Bootloader and Modem" for my model G900P ? (i see only for others)

last question ... will this rom also open that LOCK i have on that phone ? bought it from ebay and it's locked (not possible to use any sim card)

10x !
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Dany00:
U should do some research on how to unlock g900p (if that's possible). Also, if u can enter in revovery there's a pc app called zip flasher or so that is very useful when u have a dead phone and no posibility to copy the correct rom on the sdcard. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the stock rom from sammobile via odin and then try reinstalling the rom u want.

Hey guys

I have a problem. Which version should I download?. I have sm-g900I from Taiwan but I use it in Europe (Poland). Is the modem from kltedv version correct to my country or should I use klte? Can it cause my battery drain very high?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyclic:
Use the version that belongs to your device model, where you use it (your carrier) doesn't matter. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bart747:
Do you know what can cause so many CPU wakelocks for different apps? (High awake time)

Can someone help how to fix this? Can it cause battery drain faster?

RR 5.8.1

SM-G900I

Twrp 3.0.2-2
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyclic:
It could but that seems normal to me. Is your phone not sleeping at all? I had that issue when that green bar on top was at 99% awake.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bart747:
Do you mean 10% awake is normal? In RR MM I had around 3-5% so now its quite high. I havent change how I use my phone so much. And I don't use my phone so much thats I have no idea why its so high.

How about so many CPU wakelocks? Do you know how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Cyclic:
Well, I called it normal because everybody seems to be affected by it. I get the same and since you don't use your phone much, I suggest you use an app like L Speed and enabling Aggressive Doze in Battery settings. It should improve your standby time
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bart747:
Thanks. I will try to use this app and I will let you know if it solves my problem with so many wakelock.

Just a quick note, as I've been running the 11th Feb build as daily driver for 2 weeks, clean install, and I'm amazed how stable it's been.

Substratum isn't too bad as a substitute for the old CM skinning.

Slightly disappointed with battery life (mainly as the drain speed seems quite random) but otherwise well impressed with the ROM.

Considering how I'd previously been running with a very buggy and dirty install of the December (or even November?) MM build for quite a while, I don't think I could have failed to be impressed, but even so, it's been pleasantly painless from start to finish.

Anyone tried Boeffla on this ROM?

I've been using the latest Build Feb 11 and also Feb 2 on 2 different phones without any issues.

About the battery, are you using Greenify? It really helps. You can also go through and stop apps from running on boot, and I also found I had to stop Google photos using mobile data (go to apps in settings, then under each app you can tweak data options, privacy options)

I'm also running Boeffla on the one with the Feb 11 build just so I can manually limit the charging to 1amp as the stock kernel seemed to be drawing more than that when I tried to plug into my Sony car stereo and it complained and turned the stereo off every time. Boeffla and setting to 1 Amp max charging fixed it.

I had initially tried nougat when it was first released, but due to the bugs went back to MM. I'd like to give it another go, so I have two questions: 1. Which gapps, dynamic or open?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hrh_fourtyseven:
Using this rom for a week.

Thanks to its developers everything is greaaaat and I never go back to Touchwiz , But there is something deeeeeeply wrong with its doze and battery draining that I couldn't handle it! on Touchwiz based roms 1% draining every night in airplane mode and in this rom 10% !!!

Here's what I tried:

Disabling 'keep awake', 'run in background' and 'start at boot' permissions almost for all apps

Greenifying almost all apps

Installing boeffla kernel

Built-in rom power saving

Boeffla battery and battery extreme governors

L-Speed battery profile

Aggressive doze in both L-Speed and Greenify

And none of them improved battery draining of this rom. I hope somebody can fix it and make it the fastest and most stable rom for S5.

Hi guys

Now I'm on LineageOS and wanna try RR, how can I flash this ROM without losing my LineageOS app data?

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

First boeffla kernel was created for LineageOS other Roms might get some compatible issue.

Do not turn battery saver mode on if you plan to leave it in doze mode just use balance and efficient instead.

And about L speed tweaks lord boeffla said this himself: " These tweaks, most of the time, are making things worse or have side effects. This is my personal opinion of course. They cannot do magic things which Samsung could not do as well. So it is hyped stuff which is quite useless.

I am not using or recommending ANY tweaks at all when you want a stable experience."

That's weird..try restoring the music player by deleting data and cache. If i remember well the default option is to show lockscreen control. Also if this doesn't work, check the security screen if u set hide content. If that doesn't work check the notification panel of the music player if it's set to show notifications on lockscreen. If that doesn't work, it may be a bug. Try also with another music player. For me, the best one is phonograph :)
