BS_FREE_Lollipop_5.0_Rom_BPB1_Based

[CVertigo1]

This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BPB1 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.

INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed. If you chose not to use Xposed, then skip that step in the flashing process.
I have only used Safestrap to install this ROM, but FlashFire should work as well.

1) Flash NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
2) Flash Extra_toggles.zip
3) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
4) Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip
5) Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip
6) After first boot, open Lollipop Recovery Control and install the latest Safestrap.
7) Open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Then install Viper Fix 1.1.apk and run the Viper fix in the app.

There is no need to flash any Viper zips with this ROM. This ROM has all the same apps as BOK3 V5, but obviously updated to the BPB1 apps. The only app added is multiwindow. I don't use multiwindow, so I can be certain that all aspects of it work, but everything seemed to work normally when I played with it.

Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.

I've downloaded it multiple times from multiple mirrors, I keep getting 6619258FCFF93587050F9E15B2FFBAA9 as the md5 not
a1d8316898d604314b884dafb09298b0 that is listed for 1-NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip on the download page. I'll give it a try anyway since I can always reflash my NCG stock.

Edit:
It works! But now I have 492 errors anytime I want to download something from google play? Anyone else with this issue?

Does anyone know what exactly is new/improved in this BPB1? I feel like these versions keep getting released, but I have no idea what is actually improved LOL.

Thanks! Seems to be working well. Google Calendar kept force closing, so I removed it and installed the Play Store version.

Some apps seen to have a touch recognition problem, like titanium backup. Haven't had any FC errors.

I don't have any of these problems on mine. Does anybody else? It sounds like you guys might have some bad data from a previous ROM. The Play Store was updated in this ROM, so clear data for the Play Store, and that might fix the problem.

It is just security patches in this ROM. I haven't found anything really new.

I wouldn't expect Google Calendar to work, because it's not in the ROM lol.

Few Questions

First, since I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs with SafeStrap...

At each step of your process when you say "Flash" does that mean Safestrap-> Boot to Recovery ->Install Zip ???

I'm looking at needing Xposed in order to bypass my company's Exchange security requirement of encrypting my device in order to allow email access.
I got a little confused with all the Xposed documentation out there.
Does this set of instructions get me to where I can load the Xposed module to bypass that security and then continue from there?

Big Thanks for your help.
I'm going to start a backup of current ROM so I'll be ready to install this soon.

Regards,
NerdyKowboy

Yes, flash means install in Safestrap.

If you flash the Xposed zip I linked in the original post, then you can use modules in the Xposed installer app included in the ROM.

1.) In safestrap, just do wipe->factory reset or is more of a wipe required?
2.) Can I flash them all using the Zip Queue in Safestrap (TWRP 2.7.1.0) or should I do them one at a time?

 

[CVertigo1]

Factory reset in factory recovery. You can install all of them on one queue.

I did that, and this is AWESOME. Love the ROM. Tough to decide between the two launchers. Haven't had this level of control in a while.

Only snag was that Android Pay doesn't recognize the device as Android authentic, so can't use Android Pay (which I almost never used anyway).

Thanks for all the work @CVertigo1

I believe Android Pay doesn't work sheerly because the device is rooted, not because of the ROM itself.

Can't get snapchat to login with Xposed. I've read the solution is to do an Xposed framework uninstall, login to Snap, then reinstall Xposed, but have found a lot of people get hung in a bootloop when uninstalling.
Is this from using the wrong uninstaller or something else?
Which uninstaller is correct?
Do you have another solution?
I have tried removing the modules and doing a reboot to see if that'd be adequate.

EDIT:
The issue was the xposed framework.
To anyone else doing this on Galaxy S5 with this ROM (or same version of Xposed)
1.) uninstall Snapchat
2.) Deactivate modules from Xposed
3.) Download and Flash "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip" from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
4.) Reboot and wait for all the apps to Optimize
5.) Reinstall snapchat and login
6.) Flash the same Xposed framework in original post of this thread (apps will re-optimize)

 

[renthispace]

Is there a way to disable the high volume warning? I can't believe they now also have it on Bluetooth...

Since Xposed is already in the ROM, inside of Xposed, go to Downloads & download the module "NoSafeVolumeWarning". Enable it and reboot.
Boom. No more volume warning.

So were you able to uninstall Xposed? I see your edit of "fixed issue" but in case you didn't or having issues I posted this in another thread.

Yes, that fixed the issue.
Successfully uninstalled Xposed, Reinstalled SnapChat and logged in without issue. Then, reflashed the Xposed framework.
So easy, but I was so nervous doing it after seeing many, many people talking about getting hung in a bootloop.
