When I try is says "NOT AVAILABLE" on the button top right. Anyone know if these are available in the UK? EDIT: According to this site the UK don't get these yet, typical.

Thanks very much for the reply and also the guide. I followed it and initially didn't flash system as I wasn't sure if it was needed, turns out it is, and now have the March patch. Have pinned your guide for future reference and will send anyone else I see struggling with this to the guide also.

Root and flashing monthly security patch? New to Nexus phones and this whole sec patching business but have rooted phones all the way back to the HTC Magic. I've rooted the phone but still want an easy way to get the monthly security patches/updates. Some of the links seem to be the entire...

Google Books background? Looking at the initial post it mentions: 3. App background. [Not Available in Free Version] Which apps can it allow to run in the background or am I miss-interpreting the statement? specifically I'm looking for something to allow Google Books to read audio whist the...

Is this rom based on the official TW or is it open source code from elsewhere? I can't work it out and was curious as the rom sounds good but I want a fully working "properly" camera which I'm lead to believe is only possible with Samsungs drivers/codebase.

Been using this now on a G900F and it's perfectly suitable for daily use. Not really used the phone much in the last few days with just 2% screen time & 2% calls I'm on target to get 44 hours on this charge before it dies. Wifi while sleep is turned ON. Just seen that Battery Mode is...

Thanks for the work on this _alexndr , it's much appreciated. I'm on G900FxxU1BNL2 with knox 0x0 To get this version on my phone can I just backup my files, flash this then restore my files again after running towelroot or is there a better more preferred method? As you can see it's a while...

Looking to change to a different custom ROM, possibly CM. I'm currently using ALEXNDR's BNL2 and have managed to keep knox 0x0 but it's not going slow and I think a fresh install might help. I don't think I need to keep knox at 0x0 as I'm not using the features so a CM or other ROM is now...

Really?!?! You don't even need a search button to see the answer to the question you've just asked. It's two posts above yours! Appreciate you've new here but either read some of the posts or at the very least search for things.

Thanks jumoog! Looking forward to testing this rom at the weekend. :cool:

henklbr any ideas on what's changed with this version?

Thanks _alexndr it's good to know that even though it's not helped bypass the root check. Might help for other stuff.

Lollipop bypass BES12 root check Now that I've got to Lollipop with root I have a slight issue, I need to be able to run BES12 Work Space Mgr but this fails because it detects that I have root. Xposed doesn't yet work on lp and Rootcloak isn't able to hide it either so I've decomplied the apk...

Well, after about 3 hours of messing around I've finally got the rom to boot properly. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's made this possible, it's much appreciated.

Great mod. Is there a way to get this to work with Google maps navigation instead of Waze?

Thanks shanky887614 Did you happen to take average fix times before and after your update to see just how much of an improvement it made?

hyelton, how about just saving a few roms for each country like this: Initial shipped with rom - so we can all roll back to stock and start again Latest rom - we always need to be on the bleeding edge Last previous rom - in case there was a problem with the latest one Personally I'm only...

Sorry, tried but someone encrypted the file with a password. Without it the file is useless. Maybe you could download the latest rom with another country code instead of BTU if it's faster as I heard somewhere that they all contain English anyway? Could you share the file somewhere if you...

What's the link and I'll try and get it from here for you?

I wanted to try and re-root the phone using this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/guide-update-to-g900fxxu1ang2-root-knox-t2835315 If I'm reading it right, I need to downgrade back to the old firmware, root then go through the process of re-flashing the newer...

Thanks. I think their site is broken. "Error connecting to checker. Please try again." Actually, the above file isn't for the UK so I've also found BTU-G900FXXU1ANCE-20140408194209.zip if it ever downloads. 17 Hours to go! LOL Hopefully this is the right one. If so, I'll save it to a...

Thanks hyelton, I'd been there but they all looked like new ANE2 files. Did I misunderstand something on the site? I've found another like to a file called: XEC-G900FXXU1ANCE-20140415213721.zip which looks like it might be the original firmware....hopefully.

Original Firmware Hi Does any one have a download link for the original 900F firmware for Euro or UK? It looks like the links on post 1 have been updated not added to :( I don't want the current one, just the old firmware.

Thanks for the info. Out of interest, if there any difference in using MobileODIN rather than install straight from the phone OTA? Sorry if it's a commonly known answer, this is my first samsung phone.

The latest update just popped up for download on my phone. 194Mb one. I'm holding off installing it until someone can confirm that it doesn't revoke root obtained via https://towelroot.com/ Has anyone tested it yet?

Looking forward to v4 as wifes phone is half dead on it's current rom. :(

Genius, thanks for that. Hopefully this will put an end to the wake-ups.

No, see above, airview is off. Super annoying and I know it's nothing to do with xposed or somesuch becuase it's not even rooted yet.

I stupidly turned on some gesture that turns the screen on when you move your hand over the sensors. Now it wakes up all the time in my pocket. In Motions and gestures everything is off except Smart Alert Airview is turned off My searching foo is failing me today on Google so does anyone know...

Thanks for that. Makes more sense now :)

I've just been handed another phone to setup and it's got ANC9 firmware on it as opposed to mine which is ANE2. Is there a list of the firmware with associated release dates so we can see when they all came out and which is the newest. I'm guessing AN is static and the last two chars just...

Try this link for the apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Flavio+Giobergia

Cheers for the link. I had just managed to get this working. Re-saving the HD photos as contacts in gmail works. End result is the same so I'm happy. :cool:

Just tried taking a photo and adding it to a contact but I get an error "Unable to save photo edits". Is anyone else seeing this? My main aim was to get some full HD images saved as contact pictures because this screen makes all mine look tiny. Anyone have a good way to achieve this?

Well, after a little over three years with this fantastically versatile phone I'm moving on with an S5. I couldn't with good conscience, leave without first thanking tonyp and pengus77, although there are many many others who have made this community as good as it is, I simply can't mention...

Loving the battery in this phone. Pedometer is on and counting Taken many photos and some video Gamed a little bit - 2048 though so it's not using great graphics Ingress used to kill my old phones battery but this isn't a problem anymore. Is it possible to turn off the pedometer sensor if...

Hi slickwraps I'd also like to review your new silkwraps. I have thousands of followers and no doubt have some who'd be very interested in hearing what they're actually like in everyday use. PM me if you are interested. Regards,

Thanks both. I think I'll wait for the 11th to see if there's an announcement and if not just go for the 16Gb version, sadly no 32Gb here in Blighty. Cheers,

Having never owned either a Samsung or a Play Edition device, can I get some clarification on the below please: PE's come with stock rather than Samsungs touchwiz I think but is the only other difference between the two versions that Knoxx is removed so rooting/flashing doesn't void the...

Got mine working the other day but had problems. I couldn't activate it via a Win7 machine, kept getting an error saying it was unable to find the chromecast online. The only way I could set it up was to use an app on my phone. Now that it's setup everything seems to be working ok. White Sky...

Thanks PYCON I've never heard of EvilSniper either but will give it a go as soon as it's downloaded. EDIT: Just tried the last two roms by date and neither would install. :(

Have been waiting to test this rom as I now have two P990's :D Much appreciate the time you must be spending on these projects for the benefit of the community. Thanks DJNoXD

I thought he was still on build 28. Guess I need to monitor his upload folder instead of the subject line :eek:

What's the difference between the two?

I'd vote for a conservative governor if the option is there.

Navigation not working? Just tried this rom with Alpha 20 kernel and can't get the navigation to display the route. Maps works fine but the main navigation section of the screen is black. I can see the directions and info top and bottom as well as hear the audible prompts. This happens with...

Did you mean slimbean 4.3 or 4.4? I also tried 4.4 but that hot reboots for like every 5 degrees of tilt I have on the phone! :laugh: (for those with no humor, all the time)

Can anyone comment on the presence or lake of hot reboots over the course of a week? Last time I tried CM11 I got quite a few.

<! ....cut... --> echo_21 I can confirm the same finding, albeit with different numbers. Following the exact same steps as you I get 254517248 bytes trimmed every time I run the command and reboot. This is rather odd behaviour because if you run it twice without rebooting it will return 0...

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with lots of new tech to play with! :D
