install / test status 2.3.2 OTA

NP - Thanks so much for EVERYTHING you have done for the G900A :good:

Is there any substratum for this rom or are we stuck with only xposed for themes? RRO manager doesnt work (see item 5 below)

Also have you any further insight on missing GPS items? ( Same in AptOS - see item 3 below)

Testing confirms some others results with OTA from 2.3.1 (clean install from 0F3) to 2.3.2

1. Tether mod working - yay!

2. No crashes/FC on installed apps thus far (24hrs) and no bad battery drain :)

3. GPS has no data coming into applications (satstat etc) - GPS "settings" absent (mode, etc), and no location icon present in status bar.

ref post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73707420&postcount=172

4. The 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 OTA doesn't increment the version in build.prop

5. RRO layers manager thinks it has applied theme layers fine, but no change to systemUI or apps.

6. Complete de-googleling of rom including framework and keyboard went well. (just disabled them all for now - regained 190mb+ ram) AOSP fans rejoice!

7. Removed the inactive sfinder / quickconnect buttons from pull down (more room) using ro.product.name=att in build prop.

Getting ready to try fingerprint, multi-window and a few other S5 key staples from XtreStoLite Add-On package 2.2 (fingers crossed)

2 months late here (sorry) but I somehow got GPS to work in AptOS by splicing in some drivers from a Nexus 5 image. I'm building a flashable zip to add the missing driver, should be up within the hour for anyone who wants to give it a whirl :)

For my AptOS users that happen to take a peek in here every now and then, this fix will be out in the next update (with some other fixes as well), but you're welcome to take this fix out for an early whirl. :3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
So yeah guess who fell asleep in his chair while working on the zip... I'll get it up sometime later today, sorry about that :/

Thanks [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] for your endless support of both roms for the s5. know this isn't a new phone but you definitely bring live to it, giving it a new and fresh feeling which has been long over due. Love what your doing and keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavReth:
I've been using this ROM for a day now and have had an overall great experience with it. I do have one issue though that I need helping that I believe is just an error in my end. Whenever I try to move pictures through the Gallery app, I get an error saying android.processes.media has stopped. I have tried clearing the Play Store cache as well as my app caches in general as several guides have stated, but this problem still remains. Does anyone have advice on what exactly I need to do to solve this?

Edit: it seems to be happening more than just when I move files now. I also forgot to mention that it happened pretty much constantly during my AT&T mobile transfer.

When I try to change the theme using the themes button in the pages manager of the home screen, it crashes the whole TouchWiz launcher. Is this not included in the rom? I didn't see it in the aroma add-on package as an option to install. All I have done to this after a fresh install is flash a few of the add-on components and install my user apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'm not sure if the themes button actually works in this version... I'll be taking a closer look into it when I begin work on Marshmallow in the next couple weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RebelLion_:
Im wondering if it's possible to set selinux permissive with this ROM? Just looking into extra functionality with this device, although I really should stop since this is the best performance I've ever gotten out of this phone ?

Your barebones ROM plus the GovTuner project and build.prop/init.d tweaks ekes out every last drop of power this phone possesses. I'm pretty sure of that after countless soft-bricks and experimenting with any performance tweak I could find. I finally settled on this setup and I'll be content until some new fancy thing comes out for this device or I finally trade it in lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Due to the nature of Samsung's Android Kernel, it is not possible to set SELinux to Permissive on any Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM on this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Hi,

Can I just check what works in this ROM: is it fully functional?

More specifically, do Android Pay and finger print scanner work?

Can anyone explain what is good about this ROM: is it just stock lollipop but with all the bloatware removed?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The X ROM is stock rooted lollipop with a lot of bloatware removed.

Android Pay does not currently work (it will in the upcoming Marshmallow release), but the fingerprint scanner does work after installing an add-on for it from the add-on zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Does this zip not work with AptOS 2.5 though?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The zip works with AptOS 2.5, but it won't help with fingeprint support
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Oh, what's the add-on zip for then?

What's the reason finger print will work on Xrom but not AptOS? (Not trying to be rude, just curious.)

EDIT: Sorry, just seen your reply in the other AptOs thread which coincidentally answers my first question in this post! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The add-on zip is for adding functionality that was removed in the X ROM.

It won't help with fingerprinting in AptOS because AptOS uses a Nexus 5 systemui, which doesn't support fingerprints.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Sorry to be dumb... where is the add on zip? I can't see it in the OP or first page of this thread...

Is it applied through Flashfire or installing apks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The zip is applied through FlashFire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RebelLion_:
Is there a way to enable the extra toggles in notification panel? Like the flashlight and data and such
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Is it not included as an option when you install the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RebelLion_:
No it's not for me, and I thought that was weird because I remembered having all the toggles before with your rom. Is it in the aroma add-on or included with the rom?

Edit: I'm also still on AAR2B if that's any help, I just realized that today. Will flash the Ota zip, or do fresh install, later and see if that helps

sorry to be dumb.

i've searched the whole thread and i can't see a link for AAR2C full release download. is there any here? or should i go with AAR2B and update?

P.S: i've been running AAR2B for couple weeks and it's amazing — fast and great battery life! Appreciate your work [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Yeah I think I ended up taking down the AAR2C full zip due to some runtime issues... Go ahead and flash AAR2B and then update :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] thanatos2k:
I was on the latest MM official build, then used your root guide to go back to rooted OF3. I did notice there is a "-from-noship" suffix on the OF3 if your root guide, and that isn't present in the OF3 you linked previously in this thread, and that linked image is 3MB or so bigger than the "-from-noship" image linked here. Unsure if that could be related to the issue I'm having. (I did try to flash that image, but it soft-bricked it with the "take this phone to ATT" message, just re-flashed the "-from-noship" version and it cleared it.)

Trouble is updating from AAR2A-RELEASE-FINREL-2.3 to AAR2A-to-AAR2B.OTA to get the camera to work. The update appears to work but then the version number doesn't increment and cam doesn't work. Looking at the log:

Baseband Ver: G900AUCU4BOF3

Kernel Ver: 3.4.0-4432708

Build Number: X ROM 2.3, Build AAR2A

Any ideas? Or is there an AAR2B build I can flash directly? And is AAR2C not around any more? I don't really need tethering but the Cam working is somewhat essential.

Other than that, SUPER excited about such a lean and mean ROM. Feels like a new phone heh.

Just wondering if AptLogic is still working on the next Xrom or AptOS? I know it's not polite to keep asking "When is it ready?" but everything has been really quite on here for a few months and I'm wondering if AptLogic has moved on to other projects and given up on any further S5 ROMS.

I'm thinking about switching from AptOS to Xrom but don't want to format my phone if the new version is just around the corner.

I've moved over to Xrom and updated to latest version, and installed and started using Wanam's Xsposed module. I've just used the Aroma add-on to add fingerprint scanner and a couple of other things.

Same. The flashlight and data switches are so important to me, can't believe Samsung left them out.

I didn't get any options to enable them and can't see any options in either Xsposed or the Aroma addon.

Any ideas?

I found that the lines calling some tweaks were commented out for reasons still unknown. I just used MiXplorer and deleted the # in front of the lines i wanted included, and voila. I used MiXplorer cause there was no issue with zipping/unzipping or saving the changs in the zip, the explorer and its code editor are pretty robust
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Sorry, are you referring to adding the missing notification toggles? If so, which file did you edit? Build.prop? Do you remember roughly what the lines said?

I don't want to muck around with the build prop unless I know exactly what I'm meant to be editing.

Thanks! ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RebelLion_:
Sorry I wasn't more specific. In the updater-script, each tweak and mod is labelled so you can find what you want. In front of each line of each chunk of code is a hash # that comments the code out. Meaning it isn't processed when flashing the ROM. If you delete each # then the code will be ran

Can I flash to 2.3.2 from OF3 or do I need to do 2.3.1 first?

Update I just flashed to 2.3.1

In your instructions you did not specifically say to check "mount/ System read/ write".

I assumed you are supposed to so I did, any confirmation on this?

Also in flash fire you said to select everything but internal storage

I decided to not wipe "systemless superSU" because it said root will be lost if using systemless supersu

and I am really not sure if I have that. Should I do this next time?

I think one of these reasons is why my background is the same as OF3, my background didnt update to what you had displayed.

Keeping this thread active. I am still attempting to bypass FRP on mine to update to 6.0.1. And at the same time eagerly awaiting the next release of X Rom. The only thing I can think is better than Marshmallow on this device is a rooted Marshmallow rom. And your work is greatly appreciated OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Whirlvvind:
So I bought a used S5 intending it to be a music player device but since I was on AT&T I figured my as well get the at&t branded one and just install a clean version of android to get rid of the junk that way I know I have a version I could pop my SIM card in if my current Nexus dies/gets dropped. The only bootloader locking phone i'd heard of was the Note so I didn't even think to look around and research anything other than phone specs and the at&t version was cheaper than others on the ebay market (wonder why........), so naturally I was pretty pissed to find out that my upon receiving "updating" of the OS to latest not only was stuck at 5.0 but that the crappy "update" then locked me into it.

Thankfully you guys are awesome and after finding and going through the root process and loading up X ROM was relatively simple (as long as you don't use a corrupt microSD card to load things......:eek:). I do have a question though. The prime reason for me needing root was to be able to clear all the stupid "Airplane mode is on" and "No SIM card" crap from my notification, but the secondary was clearing every extra MB I could of junk apps and just large OS space for extra song/audiobook space. X ROM appealed to me because the install size was under 500mb and so I thought that the previously displayed system usage under storage of 4.51gb "system memory" usage would drop considerably. Similarly default also listed ~1.1gb in "Miscellaneous files". After X ROM install that 4.51 "System memory" still is locked up at the same number and "Miscellaneous files" is at 675mb even though navigating to see those files in the list shows nothing over 100kb and only like 30 files. I know the bloatware got cut from "Used Space" but I was under the impression i'd free up significantly more space by using X ROM over default (i'm still using it because it's speed is fantastic, just saying) since I assumed "System memory" just translated to essentially OS file reqs.

I presume that "System Memory" is a partition allowing for virtual RAM and is created (or isn't touched) by a separate process than what is used for flashing roms considering that it didn't get changed, so my questions is do all android platforms require this amount of gb space and thus I should leave it alone or is it possible for me to free up some of that unused space via repartition/reflashing since X ROM is a smaller install footprint?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
So the main purpose for the X ROM was primarily to provide a snappy experience in a small package, mostly so that it would download and flash quickly and work reliably for a long time.

The thing with Android devices in general is that they don't function the same way our PCs do, where there is usually no partition separation between the operating system's files and user-added files. On Android devices, the /system partition is where all the OS data goes (as you've seen). The thing with that, however, is that the partition is usually a set size by the manufacturer.

Now we could try and go about freeing up ~1gb or so by repartitioning the phone, but on a device like this one where we're lucky to even have the ability to flash any ROMs the risk of bricking is high, not to mention that a repartitoning like that is hard to code into an installer script.

Basically the risk of borking something just to get another ~1 GB of userdata space is too high to justify an attempt at repartitoning the phone to get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Whirlvvind:
Makes sense, just not really knowing much about the depth of Android I figured on the surface that ROM size translated to the overall size the OS used, like the PCs we use. I figured if an install is 500mb then freeing up 3.5-4gb would probably be worth risks, but yeah if only 1gb could actually be freed based on how Android uses/needs that space for unpacking and/or other things like virtual memory etc then it isn't even remotely worth it, even on another device (my brother for example got the korean 32gb model cause he needs space much more than I do, I flashed his to LineageOS shortly after handling mine).

Thanks for the help and info!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
To be honest, an S5 as an audio player is kind of overkill and not really that suitable with all the bloatware that comes with them(unless you want to use the built in speaker). There are far cheaper phones out there that will do everything you need and are able to have a vanilla AOSP recent android ROM installed on them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Whirlvvind:
Why would bloatware matter if you can just root and delete it? And even if you couldn't, that bloatware can still be disabled and just take up at most a gb of data space. Not really a huge deal when the goal of the device would be a relatively recent device for Android higher than 3.0, one that has a decent audio DAC, a good processor (for FLAC files), good & responsive screen, bluetooth capabilities, and most importantly a microSD slot that can handle up to 256gb cards. Other brands like LG and such don't have such requirements that aren't on a phone that still sells used for over $100, but with the Galaxy line not only are they higher end phones in the first place but they also get iterated frequently and thus driving the costs of old models down because people are dumb and want new/shiny. I got mine off ebay for $60 and didn't even have to settle for a cracked screen or a bad IMEI phone (which doesn't matter for a device not intended to have a SIM card in), just a little screen burn from likely being a store display. I personally "stumbled" because I didn't even think to google "s5 locked bootloader" but again even then it ultimately didn't matter because the only downside was just a bit of a loss of space and irritatingly non-removable notifications (i know i have no sim, i know i'm in airplane mode.....).

So yeah, whatever phone you're thinking of that is better with all those requirements under $60 i'd be interested to know what it is in case I drop my S5 in an irredeemable way, but I don't think I paid too much for the quality of device I got. Besides, even if it may be considered overkill compared to some cheapo $40 device of dubious quality i'd rather spend another couple/quad of meals worth for something that was once flagship model quality. I try not to skimp/cheap out on tech choices that are intended to last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
The market in the US must be quite different to the UK. S5s are still around $130 used here, whereas you could get an Xperia Z1 for about $60 or a decent old Huawei for less.

An S5 for $60 is great and I totally understand your choice. It just sucks about the custom ROM limitations.
