I think I realized why I've been having a problem with the X ROM booting.... I set the ro.build.selinux variable in build.prop to 0 (permissive) and I think the kernel threw a fit. The issue has been corrected.. and now I feel really stupid lmao.

EDIT: Nevermind the issue still seems to be present, so it wasn't an issue there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheMadScientist:
lol told u i was havin probs with the kernals on permissive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Bao.NLQ:
Is there any way to root s5 active G870A OF3. Glad if you answer.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cruci-:
Looking forward to this ROM of yours ? since pre-rooted OF3 sucks battery life. Only lasts 3-4 hours and can't even flash custom MM Roms due to custom kernels (ha ha! I'm so noob)

Godbless and more power! Oh and hoping that a miracle will happen (hoping that someone can unlock this bootloader just like verizon's)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I don't think we've got a root method at this point for the 870A, I believe there are people looking into it though.

Working as fast as I can on the ROM, but it doesn't seem to want to boot so far. Gonna be running some more tests today to see if my modified framework-res.apk is the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
I now realize that your X rom is not the same as my X_ROM ...

I called mine X because it's sorta based on XtreStoLite.

I'm rebranding mine as DVA_X_G900A_ROM

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

You can try my DVA_X_G900A_ROM that you can get here.

It's based on XtreStoLite & is very lean ... ie, there's almost nothing in it other than the play store & a couple of stock apps that are a little less "noisy" than Google's.

If you like, you can add back a bunch of stock apps using XtreStoLite_LP_Aroma_Add-on_Package_XXU1BOD3_v2.2.zip

It has phenomenal battery life since it has no crap running in the background ... even the wallpaper is battery saving black.

Let me know if it works for you ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Have you had any systemui force closing issues with your ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Nope, none whatsoever ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hmm... I'll have to take a look at it then lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheMadScientist:
Lean. You mean anorexic lol compared to stock weighing in at rite around 2 gb.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Guys seriuosly. Is there anything i can do to help out.

Like i said before. This is a spare phone of mine. Dont mind major testing. And or bricking.

Lol its fun to brick sometimes just to see how to pull out of it.

Hard bricked g2 and g3 just to familiarize mysf with the unbrick prosscesses.

I can pull logcats. And anything else needed. I just like bein able to flash new stuff and mix and matchin see what works and dont
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Ya, my aim is "anorexic" ...

The size of the stock system image is a little deceiving though.

Their content is actually only about 850 MB, but the way they write out their sparse image ends up padding it out.

There's still quite a lot of useless crap in my rom, but at least none of it is actually executed.

I'll take you up on the testing if I upgrade my rom to 5.1.1 ... that will depend on whether there's any interest in it ... I'm quite happy with 5.0 given the amazing battery life I'm getting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Guys if its any help: from past tests I've run on my device, the OF3 kernel works on OI5. Haven't checked it yet on a 6.0 version but it works -decently- on OI5, aside from one performance kink or two, not too severe given that we get 5.1.1 in return.
[MENTION=5759239]TheMadScientist420[/MENTION] if you want to test something try flashing PH4, and then as soon as ODIN reboots the device, go back into download mode and flash the OF3 kernel (I've got a flashable if you need it).

This could prove if we can actually pre-root a 6.0 build in system mode, since the problem was caused mostly by new enforcements in the kernel. The Knox stuff we can take care of no problem in SuperR's kitchen, but we need to make sure the kernel works first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
I think I tried that a while ago & if I recall correctly, I got a "fused vs binary" type error.

On the other hand, my memory isn't what it used to be ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hey it worked on OI5 may as well check again to make sure ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheMadScientist:
so basicly u want me to get a mm stock rom to boot on older kernals if possible???

just tryin to get the complete jist of the situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
That's what I'd like, yes. If we can do that I don't think there is much keeping us from making MM ROMs (in theory at least)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
[MENTION=7958871]DejaVuAgain[/MENTION] 420MB... Damn son that's almost as small as the CM builds for the Atrix 2 that I used to run!

I see an app or two that can be shaved off to save a couple MB but WOW is that tiny! Would you consider letting me use that as a base for X? I wanna see if I can get that below 410MB and then install a couple goodies and performance/battery things. (Maybe I could even see about getting up to an MM build but I'll hold off on that until I can get a OF3 ROM to install correctly lmao)

Edit: I shaved off a compressed size of 3MB, the ROM now weighs exactly 419.5MB compressed, I guess there's a point where you can't see the changes made in a compressed format.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrredcon:
Would love to even have stock rooted over here on my Active :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
As I've said before, there's still lots that can be stripped out including the stock apps (that will go into the Aroma options).

My intent is to get it as small as possible & then port it over to 5.1.1

You can certainly use my rom as a base, but may I suggest an alternative strategy ...

Put all your mods into an Aroma flashable package ... & the more stuff that is set up as options, the better.

The problem with all the roms out there is that everyone wants to be an "artist", so you end up getting bizarro stuff based on someone's taste & style.

Me, I personally don't want any battery optimization apps 'cause they suck more juice than they save compared to being careful about what you install & have running in the background.

The same with most other customizations, themes, etc.

There are very few things that actually need to be "hardcoded" into a rom.

Well, that's how I see it anyway ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Well I was going to only include Viper4Android + Dolby, optional Xposed, and an Adreno driver upgrade. The rest of the "artist"-y stuff will go into AptOS. Thanks for allowing me to use your ROM as a base, good luck with 5.1.1. If you want a strategy I think would work, take an OTA zip (OF3-OI5 for example) and implement all the changes it makes manually.

[Q] root 5.1.1

Hi, It's me again.

The original thread ([GUIDE] Merry [Early] Christmas! Here's your present!) shows how to get root on Android 5.1.1, using KING ROOT.

And, a few days ago, worked fine for me.

After that, I upgraded my phone again to 6.0.1, and then, I downgraded again to 5.1.1.

The second time I tried to root with KINGROOT, failed..., and I could never root it again.

This new GUIDE, shows how to root on 5.1.1, but, donwgrading to 5.0.

And my question is... is there any way to get root on Android 5.1.1 ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
I was just reading the posts i haven't seen, and i'm willing to test anything lol.. i just soft bricked by deleting KNOX on my OI5 install xD..

KingoRoot surprised me, cause i tried that a few months ago on OI5 and it failed!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Currently the best we've got is temp root using Kingo, as described in Post 1. We're working on trying to get some kind of perm-root on 5.1.1 and/or 6.0 right now, but it could take some time so don't hold your breath for it ;)

Keep an eye on http://github.com/a4asystems/X-ROM-G900A in the coming days for a test build. Currently the builds there are experimental and (most) don't work, but I'm inching closer to a RC build.

[MENTION=7958871]DejaVuAgain[/MENTION] is it safe to delete the com.knox.store file from the ROM? I'm thinking that might be the root cause of the issue I'm having since SuperR's Kitchen automatically deletes it when I run debloat.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the root cause of my problems: failure to sign the framework-res.apk after I mod it... rip my ROM skills.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
The KingoRoot runs just fine on 5.1.1 ... the problem is "cleaning up" afterwards.

What is it that you're actually after in 5.1.1? ... vs 5.0 that is ...

A couple of things are in the works ... I'm exploring the KingoRoot code to try to develop an "independent" root & I'm looking at porting my DVA_X_G900A rom to 5.1.1

Stay tuned ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
One small step for Android, one giant leap for AptLogic

I have F I N A L LY gotten an expbuild of X to boot, thanks to you [MENTION=7958871]DejaVuAgain[/MENTION]. The bug was, get this, I FORGOT TO SIGN THE FRAMEWORK-RES.APK AFTER I REBUILT IT. Anyways.. I should be getting closer to a RC build now that I've gotten over that bug. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Ya, fer shure ...

The Knox stuff is just artifacts ... I didn't do a rigorous cleanup at all ... it was just all alpha at the time ... still is really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Um... how did you change the background of the launcher to black? Because now its interfering with the default modification I made in framework-res.apk and forcing the background to be black.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Actually, I've forgotten ...

I'll look into it & get back to you ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No rush lol.

X-ROM RELEASE CANDIDATE 1: COMING 2/2/2017

AptOS building begins 2/8/2017 at a slower pace because I'm mostly booked all of February :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Don't you already have AptOs installed cause that is what it says in your signature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I've got a custom "founder's edition" if you will, the OS hasn't been built for public use yet because its currently very buggy and I'm waiting to release X so I can fork it and build AptOS off of that instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
I'm gonna try your rom out sometime, but are there any other good roms i should be aware of?

(bricked/lost root over 20 times last night before FlashFire worked <3)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Alliance is eh, I've heard TMS5 is pretty good, but I've never tried it myself (in favor of my own ROMs). There really isn't much else interesting to flash on our devices (I bet someone else will tell ya different tho ;) )

On another note, anybody know a way to enable VoLTE on OF3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wforider:
Debian installed and working now onto Kali
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
We can run Debian on our devices? Cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
Phoenix v11 runs very well on of3 . Just keep looking in the att s5 general forum the is a thread with a bunch of Roms for your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Pre-RC build AAR1H is going up tonight at 11PM EST, so just wanted to put that out there...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
So I messed my stock rooted rom up, got root, but kingroot wont fix my kingo root anymore..is there a script I can use? X-x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You have to attempt to root with Kingroot (it will fail), re-root with Kingo, and then Kingroot should work.

I've had this issue too and that seems to fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
YO P, whatup? 935F now? did I know that?

yes, I am still monitoring this thread.

Hope all is well...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hey [MENTION=7958871]DejaVuAgain[/MENTION] did you figure out how you turned the wallpaper to black?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
School WiFi is slow idk how to remove this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ph0tonph0nes:
[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] I have tried this method multiple times. Downgrade by Odin to Ol5 stock and OF3 stock (no BL) and tried kingo root to get initial root. Most of the times it fails, however, on the occasion that root is successful, when root checking I am not getting root. Ive tried running Kingroot first, then back to Kingo root, still, same problems. I have followed the instructions verbatim...am I missing something here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
I think I simply deleted the stock wallpaper from the base rom (Xtrestolite).

The lack of a default file could explain your problem.

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to download the original file to compare it to mine ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 719c6:
I believe the latest version of SuperSUme does both Kingo and Kingroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Try rooting with Kingo twice. These chinese apps can be weird.

Do you remember the file path of the image?

Anyone up for a programming challenge, if you could modify the stock Kingoroot app to download and run the root files from a GitHub repo instead, that would be cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Its_Tim:
hm, so is a slimmed down(anorexic xD) (un)rooted marshmallow rom possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Some of us are looking into it but I cant make any promises
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
THE UNOFFICIAL LIST OF ROMS

XtreStoLite_ROM_v2.2_LP_XXU1BOD3.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Those are links to the rom image ... isn't that what you were looking for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No lol I wanted to know if you remembered the file path the default image was in that you deleted. I already have that file on my computer anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
As a matter of fact, that's what I'm working on ...

It's not a matter of downloading & running root files at this point although the whole thing may be scriptable in the end.

I'm still not positive that there isn't an additional binary downloaded to do the actual exploit.

(The AVD monitor shows some weird buffer overflow kinda stuff going on.)

So far, I've managed to decompile Kingo, recompile & sign it, & then have successfully rooted an emulatedl S5 devicIe.

Before knocking out all the nasty stuff, I'm first going to try to replace the KingoSU app with SuperSU.

At the end of the process I hope to have a clean offline rooting app ...

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Sorry, shoulda read more closely ... trying to do too many things at once.

Unfortunately I just can't remember, other than it was something simple.

You could try replacing the /system folder with the original, & if that doesn't do it, try replacing the /etc folder.

I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere,

(Save the mixer files from /etc if you want to retain the boosted volumes.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
okay lol I'll take a look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Sure wish I could remember, but the black wallpaper may simply be a result of my having removed the wallpaper chooser app.

I use HolloLauncher & I do remember being pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to load my usual black wallpaper after I built my rom ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You didn't remove the wallpaper chooser... [MENTION=7533813]NavSad[/MENTION] did you mention using kexec to run a new kernel over the stock one? Because I'm very interested in seeing if that's possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheMadScientist:
so guys the way of the world.

I still will have my s5 cause my wife wont let me sell it

I just got a s7 so naturally I'm messing with it over a 5

ill still be around and if u guys need some sheer dumb help let me know I got one rooted and will still test stuff out.

knowing my luck the s7 prob get blacklisted I bought it from a trusted source in the mall but the girl he bought it from is kinda sketchy

found a few incriminating texts on it so I took a gamble.

said trusted source will refund if it gets blacklisted.

called Verizon they said its not associated with any accounts and clear to be activated

hell I cant hold out found a text said I know u stole the phone now u can deal with the police. we both watched her clear all the pin numbers and accounts out of it when she sold it so I think it was for another phone she had a few on her but he only wanted this one.

had a iPhone 6 + he don't do iphones so it may have been that one too.

I'm one to do good so if it is stolen the orig owner will get it back most def.

and I get my money back so either way I guess its a win win for every one but the girl.

guy I bought it from is really cool and hes been shaded over a few times and I hate it but at least he knows who he can deal with.

I got a sales receipt and told if it is to call the cops and let em know I bought it there and he would deal with the girl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Good luck with your new phone :3 (I personally would have went for T-Mobile but hey your party lol) I'll let ya know if I need any testing done.

In the meantime if you want to you can test the X ROM, which you can get from the GitHub repo in the Developer thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheMadScientist:
lol I flashed us unlocked firmware on it no twrp but fully unlocked all bands atill on att with it

it tech not a Verizon edition nomore no stock Verizon .tar will flash to it only the u firmware root on mm with buggy engineering kernal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cruci-:
Kingoroot seems to be failing today. It reboots my device but it turns out to be a bootloop. :3

Update: It really is failing. Whenever I root with Kingoroot the second time, it causes bootloop.

Can someone tell me that I'm the only one who's experiencing it.

Update: It's working again (thank goodness). This root method is so glitchy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] botched rimjob:
kingboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Yeah
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
So how would we go about implementing it...?

[MENTION=7958871]DejaVuAgain[/MENTION] just ran both X and the old XtreStoLite through WinMerge and it didn't pick up anything... so apparently it wasn't just a file deletion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Hey dude ,,, you're makin' me eel really stupid for not being able to remember what I did ;)

So, try replacing the /system & /etc folders.

Do a "binary" search to narrow it down.

I'll keep thinking/looking on my end ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'm gonna take a closer look at framework-res.apk and see if thats the root cause
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
I know that it's where the default wallpaper is located, but I know I didn't poke that ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
BINGO! Found the culprit. The following code was omitted from the X version of framework-res.apk\res\values\public.xml on line 8124:

<public type="drawable" name="blank_tile" id="0x0108011f" />
<public type="drawable" name="default_wallpaper" id="0x01080309" />
<public type="drawable" name="loading_tile" id="0x01080616" />
<public type="drawable" name="loading_tile_android" id="0x01080617" />
<public type="drawable" name="no_tile_128" id="0x01080675" />
<public type="drawable" name="no_tile_256" id="0x01080676" />
<public type="drawable" name="platlogo" id="0x010806d9" />
<public type="drawable" name="stat_sys_adb" id="0x010808b6" />
<public type="drawable" name="text_cursor_holo_dark" id="0x01080914" />
<public type="drawable" name="text_cursor_holo_light" id="0x01080915" />

It was a framework-res.apk problem after all lol. One less bug that I have to get to later :D

Fix will be pushed in the RC1 build tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Good work Sherlock ..

But of course the default wallpaper should be black to save battery & for better contrast in bright sunlight ... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Maybe I could make that an Aroma option if I start using Aroma on this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
Ya, I quite like Aroma ... it's easy to use.

You can model your own mods on an existing file for different types of options, be it patching a file or adding an app.

As I said before, the less that's hard-coded into a rom, the better ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
yeah lol.. i had that issue all this morning.. It finally worked tho!! But i tried XtreStoLite and everything kept crashing, and i knew i was in for some more trouble.. I still haven't fixed it :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
If the issue you are having is with the newer version of XtreStoLite, that is a known bug and was fixed in X ROM build AAR1G (January 29th, 2017). You can get the new X ROM (which replaces XtreStoLite for the G900A) from github.com/a4asystems/X-ROM-G900A

Build AAR1J RC1 is on its way, coming to a GitHub near you in 30 minutes :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
Nice :o.. Thanks for the link!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No problemo.

Seeing as GitHub is being a bit slow at what should be a VERY simple commit.. I'm uploading a prebuilt zip file at AndroidFileHost, will update in ~15 minutes when link is available.

Build Info:

Build Number: AAR1J-RC1

Android Version: 5.0

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
OK :P, Working on getting my Stock Rooted back, so i can begin. I think my EFS got wiped with the broken XtreStoLite, i legit have no service lol.. Good thing i made a backup when i got it in Stock Rooted the first go around!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Haven't seen THAT bug yet but okay XD. Good thing ya made that backup!

got root after downgrading from 6.1.1...finally

I finally got root. I can say that so far everything seems ok.... i started with downgrading from 6.1.1, using odin to flash 5.1.1, OI5 build. then, kingo root did the rest. had to run it twice, first time it failed. so, you CAN downgrade from 6.1.1 to 5.1.1 and get root without bricking your phone. G-900A

:good:

thanks for the leads to get the job done, xda
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cruci-:
Tried that too, but I just don't like the background being black. It's just too boring (for me heheheh) since I like using Seventeen's Logo (still black tho, but has designs) (huge fan). I also can't root, again. :3 Will try to follow the steps more careful
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] evildeaddc:
post # 2 on the first page COI5 Rollback Zip, the zip archive does have a pit file and newbs will not know what to do with it. So to avoid confusion and unecessary questions, this is why I said to flash it in my post. PIT file is provided, you do have it in your zip file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Oh whoops I was looking in the wrong folder XD. Its still probably not required as I've done the downgrade back in the early releases of 6.0 without a PIT remap but if it is needed I'll update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lingo2012:
Lol I think ive downgraded then upgraded back to OI5 about 6 times today lol worth it though now we know what works and what doesnt work now
