Quote:
This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!

PhoeniX ROM Control Pro

Alot were worried about it. You shouldn't.
PhoeniX ROM Control Pro, is an option to donate to me via play store. As a thank you from me, it will unlock several more options in ROM Control.
How it works?

In order to enable pro features, you will have to install PhoeniX Pro Key from the Play store.
This applies to all feature updates, ROMs, etc.

DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING THE ROM - ONLY FOR G900V:
This is only for G900V, if you do this on other S5, you might brick your device!

Must already be on this firmware!

G900VVRU2DPF4_BL_G900VVRU2DPF4_MODEM_LTE.tar


If you are coming from other ROM or older version, full wipe is needed - super wipe is recommended.
Use latest philz or TWRP 3.0.0-0 or lower
Flash v14. Choose your mods, etc.
Reboot.



Quote:
Fingerprint- doesn't work on S7 settings & UI due to different sensor. Therefore, is removed.
Do not update SVoice to the latest .115 update. It uses S7 location sensor and won't work. The SVoice in the ROM is perfect.
Do not update any of Camera modes from the Galaxy Store because it will give you FC to camera due to S7 camera modules.
If you want to fix Youtube 1080P 60FPS lag, you have to change your device model from SM-G935F to SM-G903F. If you do that, you will lose the option to download S7 theme or update S7 apps & Edge apps.
If you have bugs, report in this thread.

v14.0:
ROM download

JrKruse modified International ROM Patch:
Patch download

This is a G900F ported rom for the verizon S5 and i in no way developed, all that credit goes to Tamirda for the PhoeniX ROM as he definetely deserves it for the hard work he put in creating it! Also the patch is from JrKruse but with some files deleted out of the original to work specifically for this ROM>
Directions:
-You must be on marshmallow PD1 or PF4 firmware, baseband, and bootloader or you will brick your device
-you must have an unlocked bootloader or you will brick your device
-You must use 3.0.0-0 TWRP recovery or Philz custom recovery to flash
-Boot to custom recovery, wipe system, data, cache
-Flash V14 ROM
-Flash ROM Patch
-wipe dalvik/cache
-reboot, may take awhile BE PATIENT!!!
-Profit:good::D:victory:

this is a link to the original thread by Tamirda to go and say thanks for allowing us to use his ROM or make a donation, and i highly suggest getting his pro key app from the playstore as it unlocks a lot of features: Play Store
Tamirda's thread

Also you may be able to flash the update v14.2 linked in this thread successfully, works for some, not all
i nor Tamirda nor JrKruse are responsible for what you do with your device, YOU ARE!
Enjoy!

Working perfectly for me! Thank you both so much! FYI, I'm on the PG2 baseband/bootloader and it worked great.

Is there any way to control the audio focus? I couldn't find anything in the ROM or in the other V12 thread for this ROM. I'm trying to disable it for Pokemon Go. So annoying...

I don't know what you're referring to when you mean "audio focus"?

Hmm... I guess it's a permission thing where switching to an app "focuses" the audio to that app instead of whatever apps are currently playing audio. So in Pokemon Go's case, it pauses all music as soon as you switch back to the app. Very irritating.

Apparently there are some music players that have some kind of audio focus override built-in, but I'm using Spotify, which doesn't. On CM-based builds, there is a setting in Privacy -> Privacy Guard -> Advanced -> Media -> Pokemon Go, and you have the option to untick "Audio Focus".

Pre flashing checklist

Hi all,
This looks like a great ROM to try!
Just want to make sure I have got this all straight before I flash.
I have a SM-900V, PB1 Baseband running CM13.0 snapshot and TWRP 3.0.2-2-klte installed.
Questions:

1. Looks like I need to downgrade TWRP to 3.0 or less
2. I need to find G900VVRU2DPF4_BL_G900VVRU2DPF4_MODEM_LTE.tar and flash with TWRP or Odin depending on what style file I find?
3. Then in TWRP – install
a. Phoenix rom
b. Jrkruse_modified_ROM_patch
c. And my Update.zip from Titanium Backup.
4. I am no longer with VZW and using this phone on GSM only. Do I need to install the Jrkruse_modified_ROM_patch? Not sure if the patch is just to setup the vzw radios?
Anyway – if you can help me with a link to the PF4 file and any other tips or mistakes I am making I would appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

No, you have to also be on a mm bootloader, pd1,pf4, or pg2. here is a link to update to pf4 bootloader. If your phone is a 900v then yes you would have to flash the way instructions are set to get it running on your phone, you may just have to set your apn's manually. Let me know when you've upgraded to pf4 bootloader and I can help you further. @wantpizza

Thank you thank you for your help.

I am not going to fiddle any more tonight. But I have downloaded the BF4 bootloader and rom. It is .zip file = so it is a TWRP flashing file. I have no problem setting my APN's manually.

Good question is - do I have to downgrade TWRP to 3.0 to flash the Phoenix zips?

Anyway - thanks again for your help and I will plug along and report back.
Regards,
Wan

To flash Phoenix zips yes you must downgrade to 3.0.0-0 because its aroma installer, i would even suggest using philz custom recovery but only if it doesnt flash correctly with 3.0 twrp the first time. Reason being 3.0.2 twrp doesnt do aroma installers correctly. Also be sure to follow the instructions on updating your bootloader to mm as it must say Samsung official on your download screen before you can flash bootloaders.

So I ended up installing this ROM (v14.0) after doing a full wipe and am having an interesting issue - I can't seem to send any text messages. I can receive messages all day long, but always get a failure sending them. Here are some things I tried to do to fix the issue but with no avail:
- Clearing cache
- ROM reinstall (+another complete data wipe)
- Using different apps (default message app, signal, and verizon messages all get the same error)
- Modifying the selected APN (VZWINTERNET) to include an MMSC that points to http: //mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and APN type to include mms
- Upgrading Phoenix ROM to 14.2 (from the original thread). It works fine, except again, not sending text messages.

The only other thing I can think of is I'm currently on the PD1 bootloader. I could try upgrading to PF4, but before I do, is there anything else that I might be missing that I could try? Not sure how much effect upgrading the bootloader would have.

EDIT: Updated bootloader to PG2 and still have the same issue. Also, when I roll back to 12.0, texts begin to work again.

Are you using Verizon service? Are you flashing the patch directly after flashing rom, in the same sequence?

Yes, I'm on Verizon in the US. I have tried flashing it three ways now in TWRP (3.0.0) using Phoenix 14.0:
- ROM only
- ROM, then reboot, then JrKruse international patch
- ROM and JrKruse international patch in sequence before reboot

Still a problem sending text messages. I've switched over to the stock PG2 ROM for now which is working for me.

Did you get the modified patch from here, or did you use the one from Jrkruse's thread?
