[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] griz.droidx:
Thanks for that I'd noticed that on the new build as well for klte. I got a wild hair a while back and used the external SD integration along with encryption and boot/screen unlocks. I know there's ways around everything but maybe my phone would be safe against theft from ordinary users. One thing I've noticed is that even after going back to kltevzw fingerprint doesn't work. But I'm using a different kernel so that could be the culprit. I just figured that with the integrated klte builds it wouldn't work anyway because even with boefflas kernel on the last vzw build way back in August fingerprint worked. No big deal though. Maybe his newer kernels or something upstream from los is causing it to not work.

I too like open camera but it's painfully slow compared to almost any other camera. A search might reveal a setting to fix that but I haven't searched.

Also ever since encryption I've not been able to decrypt. The phone remains encrypted even after reformatting internal and external storage and doing the wipe from within settings. I'm guessing I'd have to completely heimdall(odin) back to get rid of it.

I've been wanting to try a service called ting which I believe uses sprint and att or T-Mobile. I'd prefer sprint here since att only has signal on the KY side while big red has signal on VA and KY. And most of the region. I've read about people flashing sprint ROMs on vzw phones but doubt that they'd allow that without something spoofing the imei which is illegal I think.

Thanks again for a stellar rom and for the newer build. Oh one more thing I've noticed but again with custom kernels is that on official builds I used to be able to flash a zip to install viper. And now that doesn't work so I've went back to the vzw build in an attempt to fix finger print and viper even though viper worked with newer official and unofficial builds up until about 12-2017. Anyone else having this issue.

If you've made it this far have you guys bought either the original Samsung battery or an extended battery for these aging beasts? I'm trying some apps to try to figure out how many mah I'm getting when full. If that doesn't prove fruitful I'm going to try a regular ol meter after charging to 100%.

Any thoughts are appreciated on any of this. Thanks. I know this isn't the place for most of this and I also know its been researched and talked about extensively in both vzw and other s5 forums.

Fur anyone using vzw. If you're in an area with a regional CDMA carrier can you get data from vzw. My APN at home is always straight talk. And prepaid won't roam on regional. But I'm on big red because of this and can't get data unless I'm in a larger town on LTE. The phone is set to global but works fine data wise in other areas. My roommates cheaper j7 I bought for her on my plan (free) can get the occasional 3g here. And when I go to the larger towns vzw apns start showing up.

Again I know this belongs in vzw thread but since I'm on RR and have been over a year and a half well since I bought the phone used last spring I was hoping to get a quicker rely here.

I've read and searched and posted about this until my eyes are bleeding. And calling big red is as worthless as a thimble full of bat guano.

Thanks again for the great ROMs.
