Any chance the normal sound modes from previous versions of android are in this ROM? I don't want to use lollipop without it. Currently I don't have to worry what setting my phone is on..it can be on half volume, vibrate, or silent and my alarms still go off..don't have to mess with any settings which is how it should be

Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app

I flashed the rom earlier this morning. I just tried to set an alarm on silent. Didn't work. Phone still muted the alarm notification.

You have to use interruptions this how you control what rings and what doesnt

When i clear cache or enter recovery and reboot the display comes up black and many of the processes come up as having stopped working . I need to do a factory data reset to get the rom to appear again. Any thoughts or help? thank you

Question on installing

I really haven't much with this phone since I got it. The whole locked bootloader kind of threw me off. With that being said I want to get in and try this Lollipop goodness.

I'm currently on 4.4.2.
I have safestrap installed. (making full back up now)
I haven't really used safestrap on any of my phones. Do I need to install this Rom in one of the custom slots? I'm getting confused at step 7 of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3024731

I do plan on doing a full wipe of my phone, SDcard data and all.

In short what is the best way to go from an older 4.4.2 to 5.0?


Just trying to ask the questions I have before I get the "zOMG my phone is broken and doesn't turn on" stuff.


Thank you.

On Lollipop, no root. Can I install?

I have taken the OTA to Lollipop on Verizon. I have no root and no SafeStrap. Any other way for me to install this ROM?

Reset

Is it necessary to do a factory reset after installing the update?

 

[mnestroy]

I've been using this room since the day he posted, and its been working incredible.

For the first time my S5 feels like I'm using my Old Galaxy Nexus running CM again.

You can customize so many things

Great work!

I didn't do a factory reset and have not seen any problems, Messaging+ and all other apps are working great.

Since you've already wiped your data is gone doing a factory reset couldn't hurt to do (i assume)

Can somebody explain the steps to take a stock/non rooted S5 lollipop over to this image? (I'm trying to install this on my wive's phone)

I get a little confused with the steps and terms between Roms,Kernals,Firmware.

Do I need to do a full downgrade to 4.4.4 with root, then use safestrap or is there a method with just using odin?

I had upgraded to this mod with on my phone that was on 4.4.4 using 3 steps
1. Booted into Safestrape (wiped everything but sd card)
2. Flashed the rom in the first page
3. immediately went into odian and flashed the kernal from the other thread

Anyone else having issues with the Wifi constantly pushing notifications about the access point its connected to? It's an annoyance that I can't seem to shut off. Also, anyone else having issues with long pressing the left capacitive button? I have it set to menu. The menu will show for a brief moment and then switch to the task manager which I have it set to on a single press.

OA8 Install

I have taken the OTA to Lollipop on Verizon. I have no root and no SafeStrap. Any other way for me to install this ROM?

I ended up Odin back to NK2. Let it boot up and then run thru setup.
Rebooted to Odin mode and install NCG kernel.
Boot up and install towelroot
Make it rain
Install busy box
Install safe strap
Install safe strap recovery
Reboot to safe strap recovery
Format Data/Cache
Install MOAR.zip
Reboot to Odin mode
Install VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5
Reboot

Plan to let this boot and then reapply safestrap and reboot to recovery to apply update 4.

Thoughts?

After I get into this ROM, I reinstall safe strap and try to boot to Safe strap recovery, but only get native recovery. I tried to uninstall safestrap recovery and resintall.
Safe strap shows recovery is installed, but I can't get into safe strap recovery to install the update4.zip
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

App question

Does this come with S health and the heart rate sensor working? My current rom does not.

SHealth

Does this come with S health and the heart rate sensor working? My current rom does not.

Yes both SHealth and Hear rate apps are installed and I can verify they work.

I used Odin and flashed NK2 kernel, booted to SafeStrap and then installed the Update.
Rebooted in Odin and flashed OA8 kernel.

Messages notification

loaded the rom and ran the debloater from your stock thread. installed your update #4 to fix whatnots. I have noticed the standard mms notification is transparent, or missing. there is a space where it should display the little unread mms/sms envelope. I would assume its part of the messages apk but thought there might be some color toggle i cant find. so im asking here. I messed with a few color toggles in the moar section perhaps that caused it

Still no sms fix

I just updated to v6.3 and still no sms. Are they gonna fix this issue? Love the rom but its useless to me without sms and mms.

I just updated to v6.3 and still no sms. Are they gonna fix this issue? Love the rom but its useless to me without sms and mms.

Same, I've talked to a few people with this problem, apparently effects people with unlocked and/or non-verizon sims. I've posted around asking about this, waiting on possible fix.

 

[j.rayne83]

I am having the same issue with sms not sending so I have just been using mms instead. It seems to be working fine for me. Although its a little annoying to covert to mms every time I send a text this rom is worth the effort.

Updating

This ROM is awesome, thank you very much!!

Sorry if this a stupid question, but how do I update this ROM? When I updated to OA8 and installed this ROM, I lost SafeStrap. Do I need to revert back to a KitKat version so I can use SafeStrap to install the newest versions? I'm on version 6.0 and it's great but I'm getting a lot of lag and force closes.. So I'd like to update to 6.3 and see if that fixes the issues. Thanks for the help!!

 

[Voodoobrew]

Put your phone into download mode and flash the KitKat kernal to get safestrap back. After flashing in safestrap reboot to download mode and install the OA8 kernal again.
