Downloading over WiFi should be working.... I'll take a look

Haven't had that problem before.... Try a factory reset

I'm pushing the release of AptOS-L back a little further to Saturday November 25 to coincide more with a certain holiday and give me a little more time to fix some bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XD_Nightmare_GAMING:
Thanks, man. When the newest update was released, I had to download, move to my phone, and flash the OTA ZIP because the AptOS OTA app wasn't working. I even tried the system update button in settings.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Also, I have an SM-T350 android 7.1.1 Nougat- Is there any possible way there could be an AptOS build for that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
The fingerprint sensor isn't detected from AOSP settings, maybe a patch would fix this or is it just unusable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
A few more things... After updating via the OTA zip that you posted, the pixel launcher no longer works. Additionally, the systemUI keeps stopping. Finally, Samsung health isn't able to detect the heart rate sensor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
For other people not wanting to run into this issue, remember that there's a separate xposed zip for TouchWiz and other kernels, make sure you get the TouchWiz variant! I boot looped my phone once too, trying to install an unsupported version of Xposed.

Thanks once again to everyone who takes part in the AptOS Explorer builds and all AptOS users as a whole. I have ordered my OnePlus 5T, but this does not signal the end of development just yet ;). I haven't yet fixed everything, while the system looks pretty, it is far from done. Development will go forward, but rather slowly. My first priority is fixing the Dialer's call log issue. You may be wondering why I'm choosing that bug over the Settings bugs, and its really because I've gotten my hands on some working Dialer code and I know I can eventually fix it.

As for the many settings bugs, I've managed to fix all of one during the course of 2.5 development (yay me I guess). But that was little more than a line of code I came across while making the rest of the UI material design compliant. All the other issues are buried deep within smali files, and until I can somehow build the Settings app myself in Android Studio and fix it, the bugs will remain. I am working at it, but it will take a long time.

There is clearly more for me to do. I am however, only one person. If anyone wants to jump into the AptOS repository on GitHub (https://github.com/coretechsystems/AptOS-G900A) and lend a hand, I'd love it.

Also for those of you who have seen the slight renaming of newer AptOS builds to "AptOS-L"..... you guys can probably guess what I'm planning next for this device ;)... for those of you who don't quite get it, remember back to when I posted two final wallpapers even though a major AptOS release only uses one :)

Happy Holidays, everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
so, I used the AptOS OTA app, and it softbricked my phone. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
hell yeah!! i appreciate how hard you've worked on this and i'm excited to try it out. was just about to ask about the call log bug but i read the rest. thanks for everything!

I think my phone is soft bricked now too :/ stuck on the galaxy s5/android boot screen. any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dietrix1612:
My phone is softbrick too=) After OTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
i even re-did everything with odin and flashed the zip instead of doing it through aptos and its still softbricked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
Good to know it's not just me. I tried wiping and flashing the standalone zip too, and it straight up did nothing. As in, no installation process, just back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GuitsBoy:
OTA and soft brick for me too. Guess I should have read this thread before clicking yes to the update.

Luckily I have a new phone arriving in the next couple hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] causticfix:
Same here...used ota & softbricked, so odined to stock & used the non ota...still softbricked.

I'm sure it'll be resolved soon. In any case thanks for your hard work & being the only dev still supporting this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'm aware of the issue with the standalone zip, it has been fixed and I'm just waiting for it all to re-upload.

What's this about an issue with the OTA zip?

Edit: The standalone install zips have been updated, seems to have been an issue with some line endings (FlashFire is very particular when it comes to those). I'll take a closer look at the OTA updater later today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
how does one flash with the regular zip and not the OTA zip? mine just boots into whatever rom i had previously installed, nothing changes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
So apparently this is a different problem than I first anticipated.. I'll have to go back through and check the updater-script because the issue wasn't fixed by changing the EOL registers... I'll get right on this as soon as my PC is done doing updates.

My sincerest apologies to everyone for this inconvenience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
no worries! thanks for working on this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
fixed the standalone installer, tested working. :)

Sorry for the issues everyone, I'll try to work on troubleshooting the OTA installer tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bchoiii:
I want to thank you for all of your work on this!

Softbricked as well, but there are worse things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavReth:
The download for the XPosed Installer App does not work. It gives a message regarding an invalid attatchment. I figured that downloading the generic Lolipop installer app would *not* be a wise choice, but I cannot find anywhere else to get the S5 specific program.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] davidalindsey:
AT&T Galaxy S5 Lollipop Xposed Framework and APK

Download link: https://files.fm/u/zqkkjjjg
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavReth:
Thank you. I'm going to get that setup now. Been really enjoying AptOS though. Keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The generic installer app should work, you can download it from the official Xposed thread or from here: https://coretech.tk/900a-legacy/xposed/XposedInstaller_3.1.4.apk

The installer zip is also located here for your convenience: https://coretech.tk/900a-legacy/xposed/xposed-v87.1-samsung-5.0.x-sdk21-by-dkcldark-arm.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JosephXDA1:
Is the flashable working now?, if it is what is the right way to flash it and wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NateDogg1232:
Do you have an idea when a functioning update will be released?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The standalone zip should be working fine now, I had someone test it yesterday and it worked without any additional wipe operations.

As for the ota zip, I'm still looking into it. Should be done tomorrow afternoon (I've unfortunately got things to do all week so not much time to do this)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NateDogg1232:
Ah. Take your time. No rush. I understand this is a hobby. I was really asking for everybody.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavReth:
I got my Xposed running nice and smoothly. After though, I decided XRom was a better fit for me at the time being. I love AptOS, and I'll definitely follow the project; but I realized that the OS didn't really suit me in its current state. I ended up using Xposed to temporarily fix various bugs (such as adding a battery percentage display since the battery settings do not work as well as adding a screenshot button), and while it worked I think I'll just use XRom for now. I'm really excited to see what this project will bring in the future though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
standalone zip has been working fine for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
not sure if this issue has been addressed or not yet, but the calendar on the "at a glance" doesn't really work. just wanted to bring it up, thanks for the hard work on this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
also! any updates on the call log fix? I really wanna make this phone my main device with this rom but I can't do that until the call log is fixed, it's too important to me :/

also the calendar portion of the "at a glance" feature has disappeared completely for me, not sure what that's about. I've tried disabling and enabling it as well as rebooting the device to no avail.

Edit: I'm dumb! Had my location off. I also discovered that the "at a glance" widget does work, but only when I have events coming up. Its just blank the rest of the time. Isn't it supposed to show what day it is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'm working on the call log fix.

The "at a glance" bug is an issue with the Pixel Launcher that I'm using for this ROM. Its developed and modded by someone else, so we'll have to wait for them to fix that bug. As soon as its fixed, I'll be releasing a hotfix package for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] plutobrat:
gotcha! thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Helgen:
Yeah, I also cannot get call logs, and I can't open the battery menu in settings.

Few other things I noticed is I cannot drag the sounds slider in sounds and notifications, so everything is silent, and pressing the volume buttons doesn't have the drop down to change all the sounds settings which is a shame. I can't hear anything other than ringtone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
I can't flash the latest version of AptOS (2.5). When I try to flash using FlashFire, no matter if I wipe or not, it goes right back to XRom.

Any idea why?

Edit: It is the explorer build that doesn't flash.

Also, any ETA on fingerprint support? That is the only feature keeping me from using AptOS as my daily ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Vengeance1020:
So I updated to AptOS 2.5 and the device now hangs at the GS5 logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
What version were you on before, and were you on an explorer build? Also try reflashing the OF3 kernel, to see if maybe your kernel changed somehow while updating...?

My advice to you, and everyone else: Before updating, no matter what build you are on, use FlashFire to make a backup to your external SD card. That way, if all goes wrong and you have to start from ODINing the KitKat image, you don't lose all of your data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Fingerprint sensor support is really difficult to integrate on a ROM of this nature because Android lollipop doesn't natively support fingerprinting. Samsung essentially got it to work with a hack, and a lot of proprietary code that we can't port because 1) smali is really hard to work with and 2) I don't know what the fingerprint support would depend on across [x] apps.

I might figure it out, but it might not be integrated as you'd expect.

Yeah backing up is always a good idea

I'll backup and do a lot of testing with these zips over the week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
Ah, I see. It does seem like a very difficult thing to implement, especially if Lollipop doesn't natively support it. Would it be possible to back port from Marshmallow (or whichever version the Nexus 5X and other phones use that supports fingerprints), or would it require totally custom code (and probably an emulation layer or something so other apps can use the sensor)? I will probably be moving to a pin anyway, as the fingerprint sensor on my device is a bit iffy at times.

If you need me to be your Guinea pig for the zip files, let me know. I have everything backed up and nothing to lose (not even my time :p)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
That's another problem with the fingerprinting: we can't use any apps from devices like the 5X because they use a 64-bit SoC, and we have a 32-bit SoC. Generally you can run arm on arm64, but you can't go the other way around.

You could try using face unlock instead of fingerprinting. It's been a part of AptOS since the first major release. You just set a pin and then go to Settings > Smart Lock > Trusted Face to set it up.

I'll let you know if I need any more help testing the zips :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
Ah, I had no idea the S5 wasn't arm64. That pretty much rules out porting then :(

I had no idea this was a feature. I generally don't use face unlocking out of fear that it might lock me out under certain conditions. I should give it a try though, it might save me a lot of time!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] InhumanThree1:
the regular build works fine standalone, but the explorer build continues to not install at all. And I tried to install the OTA a whole month after the initial issues, but it still bricked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Okay well now we know the issue is only with the explorer and OTA zips now, I'll get on that tonight.

Sorry for the lapse in development, busy week
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rvshan:
Thats ok, we all appreciate the work that you've put in and love the result from it. Has the dialer and the settings bugs been fixed yet? These are the only two issues preventing me from making this rom permanent on my phone. Currently running the default Samsung OS but i soooo wanna switch back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The settings and dialer bugs seem to be linked to issues within the same library in the core Android framework. The problem is that this isn't something you can simply replace.

Now you may be asking "well it's just one file, right? Why not just diff the thing with an AOSP version and merge the changes?"

And the answer in a perfect world would be yes, we could do that. But there may be other dependencies within the Android framework that need to be fixed as well. And a general rule with messing around with framework files like that is to make as few changes as possible. As you keep changing things, the risk of breaking something else increases.

Ultimately this would all be a lot of work for little gain. You can bypass the settings bugs by flashing the Samsung stock settings app, and you can bypass the dialer bug with a dialer app from the play store. But I know this may make some users a little..... Enraged. So I'll let you all in on a little secret.

During feasibility testing for AptOS on Marshmallow, one of the criteria was the absence of major bugs from Lollipop. This was tested with the use of the Google dialer app on a stripped down version of stock. I'm happy to report that the bug we're facing now didn't exist during testing. That isn't to say it won't be present at all, since AptOS on Marshmallow is still very early in development, but it's a good sign that the problems plaguing Lollipop won't plague marshmallow as well.

I will also use some spare time in January to try and fix the framework in lollipop, but due to the unknown extent of the modifications that have to be made, I can't make any promises.

Can I use flashfire and install Xposed?

I was gonna try a modified version by Wanam (modded for tuchwiz).

I'm terrible with making as little changes as possible. [emoji41]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'd go with this xposed by dkcldark instead, its tested working on AptOS, and was included until the more recent versions when I retired xposed support: https://coretech.tk/900a-legacy/xposed/xposed-v87.1-samsung-5.0.x-sdk21-by-dkcldark-arm.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
I'm thinking about installing the 2.5 version (Coming from stock MM).

- What are these bugs you mention (settings & dialer)?

- Could I just install Google Dialer then? Or is that what is already installed and has bugs?

Wait... does that mean you are developing an AptOS MM release for the S5 AT&T? Or are you refering to a project for a different device?

I would be VERY excited if this was for the S5 AT&T!!

Thanks for all your work (and help) :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
https://github.com/coretechsystems/AptOS-G900A/issues/11

The dialer bug is literally just the recent call logs not showing up, this can usually be rectified with a Dialer app from the Play Store.

As far as AptOS-M is concerned... yes it is for the AT&T S5, confirmed launch is sometime this year, probably 2nd or 3rd quarter, preceded by the X ROM. It'll be a bit of a wait, but its either that or a lot of bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Does that mean there is root available for Marshmallow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Unfortunately no... That's why development is going to take so long, every time a new marshmallow build has to be tested, the phone has to be reflashed, rerooted, and then reflashed again.

Luckily I have some nice internal-only firmware and companion apps that help speed the process up a little, but at this point there is no root available for marshmallow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
Anyone have a link to the stock settings app? I can rock this one right here for a while if I can fix that issue. Other than the two things ROM runs great. Almost makes me ok with the # 5 ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Ah... Okay.

Well thank you so much for all the work you do. I'd love to do stuff myself, but unfortunately I don't have the required skills!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You don't have to install the app just place it and reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
With the optional add-ons: do I install them using Flashfire or some other method?

How exactly should I install Xposed?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Install the apk within Android and then use FlashFire to flash the Xposed zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dietrix1612:
Android Pay doesn't work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Due to issues with NFC and SafetyNet, Android Pay and Samsung Pay don't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
How do you install the stock TW settings zip? I tried flashing through Flashfire, but after rebooting it still has the AOSP settings.

Also, the link to the Xsposed APK doesn't seem to work.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You have to go in a root file explorer and replace the settings apk in /system/priv-app/settings

You can use the regular Xposed apk provided by wanam
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
I did this, rebooted, and now my touch screen and capacitive buttons don't work! Help!

What can I do?

Will I have to adb in and replace the settings app? (If I can)

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

I've tried attaching a mouse, which is recognised and the cursor shows, but the cursor won't move and clicks will only wake the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Did you leave the other settings apk in there? If so that would explain your issue and you'll need to somehow use the mouse to remove one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
I used the AOSP app like this and had the same problem.

The TouchWiz one works and is about 76mb. The other one (AOSP) is about 7mb and didn't work. I had to go back to the ebgenrleering firmware in the op to get back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
I renamed the old settings app to 'SettingsAOSP.apk' and pasted in the other one.

The mouse isn't working: I can click but it won't move.

Currently looking at other options.

Would a factory reset reset the settings.apk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You were supposed to remove the old apk entirely, now the two are conflicting, which is causing your current issue.

At this point you'll have to completely re-flash. A factory reset does nothing but wipe the /data partition, and won't undo the changes made to /system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
So flash the stock rooted OF3 again and go from there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
If you can get to FlashFire yes. If you have safestrap all you have to do is re-flash AptOS... If you can't get to either one you have to go back to the experimental firmware and start all over
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Just reflashed everything then replaced the settings.apk with the touchwiz settings.apk, rebooted, but now I keep getting 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped', and if it does load it loads a blank app...

Any ideas?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Are you able to check what the permissions are on the settings apk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Yep: -rw-r-r-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hmm... You could try renaming the file to "settings.apk" but other than that I really don't know.... Haven't had that happen to me before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
I'm just saying that something isn't right. Look at the file sizes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
Renaming didn't work (it seemed to not do it).

I've put the AOSP apk back in now and when it rebooted I got the ' System is upgrading' message briefly, which I didn’t get after putting in the TW apk.

Did I need to wipe dalvik and cache somehow after putting in the TW apk?

How do you do that without custom recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You can wipe dalvik and cache by using a wipe action in FlashFire.. be careful not to wipe anything else tho

Is there a way to add the stock Camera app back in? It's the only one that will support 4k and 60fps

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You can get the stock camera from the X ROM add-on zip available in the X ROM thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tooplanx:
I've got the stock Camera app back now, but thought I'd highlight to others that installing most things from the add on zip seems to cause system instability. I installed s-health and a couple of other things and the system UI kept crashing until I uninstalled everything except the camera.

I also since found 'Snap Camera' in the play store which is a great full featured camera which gives better image quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jenthenance:
Just now updating from the last stable version. Pretty sure I'm doing this right to get the TW settings, but I keep getting an unresponsive touch screen and having to start all over. Using FlashFire doesn't work either...

Help?

I'm just wondering how exactly I need to replace it. Do I need to rename anything, or move the original settings app before trying to uninstall it? It seems that they both end up installed on the device even if I delete the original.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The way I did it was to delete the old file, paste in the new file, set the permissions to rw-r--r--, and then immediately reboot. It should work fine because the phone is ultimately still running TouchWiz.... I'll run some additional tests to see if the updates to make AptOS Material Design Compliant™ are playing a hand in your issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Leone/kyleproxx:
