[ROM][05-20-15] Debloated DOB1 ROM

[rmanne]

Introduction

I found myself working more and more on the ROM, so I thought I might as well turn it into a DevDB project. The context is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/rom-dob1-stock-rom-slim-rooted-rom-t3067678

By popular request, I decided to add back the Camera and Gallery.

Note: If you want Mobile Hotspot, make sure that you're using the latest DOB1 modem. Mobile Hotspot works on Test Versions 2 and 3 at least.

You must flash SuperSU after flashing any one of the provided downloads. They are all recovery-flashable zips. Here is where you'll find the Add-On zip, and all of its packages except for the ones that modify the SystemUI or already installed apps (for example, the Camera mods), will work.

Installation instructions

* Download the ROM (see the next section)
* Download the latest version of SuperSU
* Reboot to Recovery
* Clear Cache & Dalvik (and also Data if you're coming from AOSP)
* Flash the ROM
* Flash the SuperSU zip
* Reboot

Note: you can use the device right after reboot, but some resources may take some time to finish loading (~1 minute), such as the thumbnails in Gallery. Moreover, it should not take more than three minutes to boot up.

[note] -- QuickConnect/Finder Bar is now gone (achieved using hex edit SystemUI.apk -> look for 39 00 00 08, which represents '57.0dim' or something like that, and change it to 00 00 00 08, which represents '0.0dim', and the field should be 410B).

FAQ

Can I flash this on G900W8?

Yes! Users say that it works just fine on it.

Does it have WiFi Calling?

I've been using this for a few days. About 2 FC at the beginning but then No issues found.

Battery life and LTE signal are working great.

I'm not entirely sure, but it probably doesn't hurt to try right? You can always backup and restore.

Using it on my w8. Make sure you use an updated bootloader. This is the smoothest experience I've ever had on an s5. This is the lightest rom ever. Startup is 5 seconds. Thanks!! WiFi hotspot doesn't work on the previous version without camera and gallery. Haven't tried it yet here but will update soon.

No hotspot.

Fresh install. Some component required for connectivity curing hotspot mode has been removed. Same issue in previous rom.

Is there any kitkat or lollipop based T-mobile ROM that work with G900W8?

I hope to have two things working 1. WiFi calling and 2. WiFi tethering restriction removed.

I don't seek anything much other than these two. I prefer stability the most.

Could you recommend me any ROMs that could offer these two features? Thank you

This is the smoothest ROM on TW. The boot up time is insane!! The only thing I wish this ROM had was the fingerprint scanner working and private mode ? other than that its perfect !!!

Would love a fix for WiFi hotspot

 

[doodio]

Just confirmed vpn doesn't work. Maybe it's removed?

1) unrestricted/tethering provision check disabled
2) Loud Volume Booster
3) Google Apps Flash-able Zip

6) extra flashlight/HotSpot toggle Flash-able Zip
7) Automatic or manual Call recording in the call APK
8) Fast Charge eanbled
9) VoLTE enabled on Modem/Ready to go

Waited a long time for a completely debloated LP ROM to appear for the S5. Looking forward to the updates. Great job!

Huh. Isn't private mode working? I don't think I made any changes that would break Private Mode, but I'll check this anyways. Fingerprint Scanner was removed intentionally. I believe that the current XtreSoLite Lollipop addon package, which includes the Fingerprint Scanner (and possibly also Private Mode), will work seamlessly with this ROM, but I'll make sure that that's the case.

Just confirmed vpn doesn't work. Maybe it's removed?

That is correct, VPN services are all currently removed.

1) I'll see if I can do it. I probably won't be able to test it though, because I have a limited data plan.
2) Install Viper4Audio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223)
3 & 5) ???
4 & 6) Would be nice also, but since the ROM is completely odexed, and I don't want to de-odex it, I would have to edit and insert hex into the SystemUI to get the flashlight working, and while editing is totally in my reach, fake text insertion is questionable. It could prove to be unnecessarily hard.
7) I'm looking into this currently.
8) This depends on the kernel. The current ROM offers only the Stock kernel. If you would like fast charging, install Ktoonsez's kernel for Lollipop TW.
9) It's enabled by default as far as I can tell (during a call -> settings -> scroll down and it will say that VoLTE is selected by default).

 

[doodio]

Thanks! This is a stunning rom. If there's a way to add back vpn and figure out why hotspot doesn't work.

 

[doodio]

Thanks for version 2!! So happy. Can't wait to try it. Can someone confirm if hotspot works for them?? When I dirty flashed the full stock rooted room from the other thread it still didn't work. Very odd. Looking forward to version 2!

Huh. Interesting, thanks for the input. I haven't made any changes that would make hotspot work yet, probably. I'll update this post once I figure out what went wrong. In the mean time, can you check whether or not hotspot works from a clean install of the full stock rooted ROM? It will at least tell me whether my whole version has hotspot broken or I accidentally removed some essential part of it.

 

[doodio]

Sure I'll try it and let you know. Thanks for getting back to me!

Use the latest modem and test it again. I found that it worked for me without any new changes.
