This is how you are supposed to root and upgrade to lollipop at the same time. If you followed this guide then try the steps again and triple check you are flashing the right files through ODIN and then through FlashFire. Hope this helps

NFC is not working for me. (flashed samsung NFC services from XTRESTOLITE 2.2 aroma addon zip - still not working)

Anyone confirm NFC is working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
No, just tried NFC and it won't switch on :(

Never bothered before as Android Pay can't be used.

I'm beginning to think that stock might actually be the best option... This ROM is much quicker but I'm losing many features that I'd expect on even a basic phone (no 4g, no NFC, can't use Android Pay...)

I really hope these things work in the Marshmallow version of this rom, when it's released.

I do really appreciate the work Apt is doing for this phone, but I feel like I bought a high end phone but I'm getting low end performance and features.

The only good thing about this phone is the camera. I don't think I'll ever buy a Samsung again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Just wondering... Is the Marshmallow Xrom still being worked on or it unlikely to ever happen? Just want to know if I should keep waiting or move on to something else.

Thanks. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
X-ROM on marshmallow will definitely happen, expect betas out next month. Do be aware however that you won't have root access at this time but honestly it's better than nothing.

The real problem point is with AptOS since I can't find a compatible systemui to slip in, I'll keep looking but it'll take a while longer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
I'd be happy with just a debloated Marshmallow! Is it possible to disable the home-button wake in the ROM, or give an option to do this?

Thanks for your continued work :D :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'll see what I can do :)

[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] Quick question: I'm getting restless and have started thinking about whether I could make a debloated MM rom...

Would this be achievable using a ROM kitchen like ASSAYYED? Could I take the stock MM rom and just remove the apps not needed? Or is there a lot more to it?

Thanks for your help. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
There's like some weird Knox stuff you gotta remove as well, don't remember exactly where.

I'll put the source I have so far for marshmallow on gitlab later today so whoever wants to continue devving X can do so :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
That'd be great, thanks! How far had you got / what needed sorting out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
https://gitlab.com/bitlogix/coretech/project-kalmia

I think the problem was mainly just my being unable to get AptOS stuff to work correctly on it. Lemme know how far you get with this, it _should_ boot correctly but I don't remember for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Hi again. I looked at your source but I didn't really know where to go with it as you say that the build.prop isn't included..?

Anyway, I've taken the stock 6.01 firmware and, using ASSAYYED kitchen, debloated it. I'm now about to de-knox it. Is that the right thing to do?

Should this ROM boot and work? Should I flash it with Flashfire, or through ODIN? I can choose to build the ROM as a .tar for ODIN, or as a zip.

My S5 is my only phone so I don't want to permanently brick it!

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
It is included, I am just too lazy to take that out of the readme.

The de-knoxing thing doesn't quite clear everything out, I ended up doing a lot of diffing with different g900f ROMs to get as much out as possible.

You won't permanently brick by trying any of this, at worst you have to flash the rooting firmware again and re-root/reflash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
For de-knoxing I did the automatic de-knox, then deleted some extra files and changed some other settings, as per these instructions:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72524817&postcount=2

To flash the ROM, is it best to use Flashfire method or ODIN?

Depending on how this goes I might take another look at your source files. Though I'm great at following instructions, I'm not so good at debugging Android code!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Well, my debloated MM ROM that I made using ASSAYYED kitchen didn't work - it said it installed but then it just rebooted to recovery :(

I tried Flashfire zip and ODIN. ODIN failed. No idea why...

I'm currently downloading your source files as both a tar and a zip. Is it best to install through ODIN or Flashfire zip?

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
AptLogic,

Thank you beforehand for your work in trying to get this device into a decent state, as I still consider it to be one of the most respectable smartphones in history (Removable batteries make waterproof phones impossible? Yeah, right...).

I have been following your rom developments, and although I am not a dev, and here are my 2 cents :

1) I don't know if you are aware of this project, but VirtualXposed (https://www.xda-developers.com/virtualxposed-xposed-modules-without-root/) lets you run some Xposed modules and microG in a virtual environment, even without root/with locked bootloader. Moreover, the app can, as of now, be set as a launcher. I think these two properties make it interesting for a rom, as one could strip the latest QD1 as much as possible (including play services) and get every non-system app running and being managed inside VirtualXposed. Eventually, as for AptOS, you could bundle the usual Nexus 5 apps (Calendar, Calculator...) directly into the system, out of the virtual environment, as most likely these are not updatable.

2) You mentioned that you did not know what SystemUI you would use for AptOS. Have you considered GoodLock? Although it is not the lightest, it is still better the the default one and it was developed by Samsung, so it shouldn't pose any issue.

Thanks again for the time and cheers

How do I do this without flashfire, since its kind of dead now?

Thanks a lot for the great effort [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] for getting us an awesome rom

How to update from AAR2B ??

I followed all the steps and installed and finally flashed the AAR2C and all seen okay expect the playstore keeps crashing and no camera . Tried installing camera apps from playstore but back (main ) camera doesn't work but can take selfies ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RebelLion_:
It's not really. Just set your devices clock back a year and use it to flash

So no new stuff for at&t Galaxy S5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stormbringer!:
Sorry to necrobump but im new to this phone (and roms in general). I've got this rom up and running nicely but I cant seem to get live wallpapers to work. says the app is not installed. is there some component that was stripped that I would need to re-install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KtownJeff:
Yeah Xrom is pretty much bare bones...I think that the stock apk was removed....live wallpapers eat up alot of RAM and tend to slow the OS down if u have a lot of apps running or processes in the background...u can goto the play store and download Zedge if u want which has plenty of live wallpapers and its own installer...that is the easy way out and I really don't recommend that due to the adware and other junk...I've put a download for the stock samsung live wallpaper apk and the phase beam live wallpaper...try to install them like a normal app first..if u get a failed to install u will have to use a root enabled file manager to copy and paste in the root dir> system>priv app>... create a new folder for each apk with the same name move the apk from your SD card into the new created file then copy the file to the directory listed above...just like windows 10 manager...then restart the phone.. The S5 g900a is my daily user phone...I've played with every ROM and I've got everything that u need for anything for our phone on my hard drive...a lot of the links are dead in the forums because of age and closed devlopment...my goto for wallpaper app is the Google Wallpaper app from the play store it's got prob 100 different choices and no adds....I've added a link for the aroma installer for the XROM if u need to get some of the stock preloaded apps...it has some cool UI overlays for the quick Settings toggles....the clear black is my fav...just use flashfire to install it and it will start automatically...it was originally used with the G900F Xterlite ROM it also works with any version of XROM and APTOS... If u need any help or detailed instructions for anything to do with the g900a just ask...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stormbringer!:
Holy crud that worked!!!! Thanks!!!

I had this phone for about a year sitting in a drawer because of... well, AT&T... I tried a couple of times to monkey with it but was able to get this awesome ROM on it recently. The only thing I couldn't do was the live wallpapers (not that I really use them) but I tried the google wallpaper and got an error that the app wasn't installed. That didn't sit well with me and thanks to you - I am complete! haha

Oh, I had to do that priv app thing... learn something new every day!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KtownJeff:
I'm glad to have helped... I had no clue six months ago on any of it...A lot of trial and error with many soft bricks back to the factory test firmware...and then I introduced myself to safestrap and learned how to make a real backup...I'm going to update one of the other threads with current working ROMs and some others that I found which will work for this build...XROM and AptOS are pretty much top shelf for debloated smooth running everyday usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kilgrin:
i just bought myself another s5. the first one killed about 5-10 batteries before the ram and/or processor bit the dust. i can't bring myself to purchase a phone with internal battery cause i know ill chew through it in about 3months. This rom is slim tight i love it. No need to wonder "can i remove this app, or is it essential to system function". Yes, theres a little more setup that goes into loading the apps you want, but its worth it for that real DEBLOAT. Only thing i miss is the power menu with screenshot and screen record option. i use nova launcher as my gui so didnt notice that wallpaper issue. i know this is kinda a dead thread, but i still love my s5 and really appreciate this distro. thanks for putting this out and still having it up!

I'm probably gonna install Viper and Dolby ATMOS native in AptOS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cruci-:
Am I the only one who's experiencing it? Flashfire can't find the firmware even tho' it's just sitting there in the internal storage along with the S6 Edge ROM. It's not even corrupted for I unzipped it first just to test it. Tried copying in external storage but still the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Are you using "Flash Firmware Package" or "Flash ZIP or OTA" because that could be your issue.

Anyways, RC4 Build AAR1M is being pushed to GitHub shortly, tested working, screenshots are on their way :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
I grabbed the latest build this morning and can report no issues as of yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
FINAL RELEASE IS OUT!!!

Get it now, link in POST #1 :D​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rodriguez123:
In the version AAR2A I have various bugs galery is stoped and Adjustments is stoped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Could you elaborate a bit on what you were doing when this bug occurred? I am unable to replicate the bug on my phone running AAR2A (gallery works fine).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rodriguez123:
The gallery error comes up when I try to open it

The settings error comes up when I try to open the application manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Did you wipe the phone before installing the ROM? Because that can introduce complications. Otherwise the image you used could be corrupted, check the MD5 sum of the zip, it should be "5fb99f47ceeb5a4bdb9e0451e7ad28fe"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rodriguez123:
Yes I wipe the phone all except the internal storage with Flashfire Since the pre rooted rom of3

However I am re-downloading. Is it necessary to also clean the internal storage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No, wiping the internal storage is not necessary :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rodriguez123:
I already solved it was just rebooting the cell and everything works thanks for the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
XD glad everything worked out. Happy to help :)

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Witch one though will work theres 4 on the link you shared ? Im assuming its going to be the 900f one ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The zip is the androidfilehost link, the github one is the unbuilt source.

Yes, the G900F one is the one you should use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
So first issue. No stock camera app had installed Google camera worked fine . I then ran the aroma add-on package and installed moded camera . After reboot all camera apps fail saying can't connect ...Re flashed aroma installing stock camera still get same erroneous in all camera apps .... Any ideas ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Mmmmm.... only have one camera app installed at a time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
Yes I have tried just about every combo ever since first flash of moded camera nothing changes no matter what is installed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Try downloading this: https://github.com/a4asystems/X-ROM-G900A/raw/master/system/etc/media_profiles.xml

And put it in /system/etc, overwriting the existing one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cruci-:
Installed it. So far so good. It's faster than I expected hahah. The only thing I don't like is the keyboard. Can you try using a keyboard from S6?

Thank you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
It wouldn't be too hard to make an flashable zip to add the S6 keyboard, but I didn't include it because 1. the installer I used didn't have the S6 keyboard to begin with and 2. I wanted the zip to be as small as possible.

I can make the zip for you if you want, though. :)

Hi,

Did you think it might be possible to include the stock camera in the next release?

Thanks for share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Seeking testers for version 2.3.1, notable improvements are below:

The Camera is back by popular demand

LTE bug *should* be fixed

You can get this update using an OTA zip or by re-installing the OS completely. Download link will be given to interested parties.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
Where do I sign up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You can get the OTA zip at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120705791

Flash it in FlashFire without wiping ANYTHING, the installer will take care of removing only what needs to be removed.

What I'm looking to see is if the stock Camera will work and if 4G LTE works again without re-introducing the SystemUI bug.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
I performed the dirty flash as instructed and when opening the camera a warning box pops up that reads "Camera failed." I will check into the 4G LTE as well and let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
Just flashed the OTA and i get Camera Failed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Alright great guys thanks for the feedback, I'll have a patch for the camera issue up in a jiff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
Also to add, my LTE isn't working either. But loving the ROM so far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Okay, try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298928987

Same flash instructions, I added more camera binaries and put the forceLTEon in the correct place this time :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
Yeah camera and LTE isn't working still
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Urgh... how about now? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298929000

Changelog: added /system/cameradata folder in the hopes it gets the camera working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
Still bad, and i even checked the files are getting where they need to be, and they are... What else are we missing??

x-rom 2.3 ...So far runs super smooth !! Only issues have been camera can't connect no matter what except for FB messenger app that camera works. Only other issue has been horrible battery life lost 85% in hr and 20 min last night. Says it's the screen draining it .... even with brightness on auto level 4 .

What audio mods are in 2.3 ? Seems like the levels are slightly higher then stuck witch is awesome but the quality doesn't seem to be so great even at half volume on device sounds distorted same for aux. Haven't tried Bluetooth but assuming will be same.

Stock levels are horrrrrible on this device though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Well at least we got LTE to work lol.

Try just downloading the Google Camera from the play store, we'll see if that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
That's most likely caused by the fact that I removed the Knox secure storage during the debloat. It should have no effect on normal operation of the device.

[MENTION=3108410]pinheaD420[/MENTION] its just a volume boost mod, which is probably why it sounds distorted. I was going to add the audio mods to AptOS. As for the battery, I use greenify and I can go a whole 8-hour day of using Spotify and still have about 40% left.

I have another problem I install the video application from xtrestolide 2.2 addons but when I enter the application and select a video does not reproduce me

I like the samsung video application but I have that problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] the front camera works but the back camera is a no go..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I don't know for sure but I'd say that's because mediaconverter-trim is also missing.

ALSO: I just took a look through the OTA package I gave you guys and I royally f***ed up... I put the binaries for the camera in the wrong folder...

Take 3: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767135125

Changelog:

Put the cameradata binaries in the RIGHT PLACE

Added mediaconverter-trim, video player still has to be installed manually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
The camera has proven to be a royal pain in the ---!! It's still not working :/.. and now the front camera decided to break..

edit: nevermind, front camera still works, this app just lagged real bad..

back camera and stock camera app are just, assumed dead.. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pinheaD420:
So at this point I flashed ur OTA update still have no camera app at all and get can't connect error on every app I have tried except FB messenger ....I'm guessing I screwed something with the multiple moded and stock camera I have been flashing/removing/reflashing must have went thru 4-5 different cameras now .... At some point I must have tripped something since play store won't return any results for Google camera .... No clue what I did ...Guessing my evenings gonna consist of starting from scratch tho ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rodriguez123:
With the latest update the camera is already running the front and back for me but samsung video still not working does not play videos
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I think the google photos app has a built-in video player so you can try using that instead of the TouchWiz video player.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CreeperPVP:
I don't know if this is the definite issue or not, but i did a dumpstate and i noticed something..

android.hardware.camera.front is in there, but not android.hardware.camera.back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Welp all I know is that I copied the correct binaries over so I've got no idea what's going on. The camera worked in XTL 2.2 and now its broken...
