[ROM][ND8/NJ2][4.4.2] Wicked S5 Xperience v2.2 [Updated 2/19/15]

[bilgerryan]

Hate to see you go! What happened that you couldn't activate your phone?

Sprint has a new system for prepaid that just started a month or so ago. You used to be able to use bad ESNs on prepaid with no problem. Now Sprint no longer blacklists newer phones for a whole year, they just have to be in good financial standing if they were on contract (clean ESN). So if I wanted to I could go out and drop $600 on a new S5 and use it on prepaid, but in reality the people that are getting screwed are the ones that buy prepaid phones on Ebay, Amazon, and Swappa. You either have to get the person to give you the MEID or have them do it screenshot to see if it can be used on Ting. The ones I bought were "guaranteed clean ESN" with a 30 day money back warranty. So I figured that was good enough for me, I was wrong. The phones both did not have clean ESNs. Ting was kind enough to send me an email for each phone stating that they were financially ineligible for activation and I'm getting my money back.

I don't know if I'm just missing something or what but my sound does not work at all. Not even my headphone jack. I've wiped and reflashed multiple times still with no luck, same thing happened to me with MOAR rom but before that I had CM12 and the sound worked fine on that...

 

[wetbiker7]

Maybe if I get the time... Probably won't be until next week at the earliest. My priority is still on finishing an official BobCat release though.

Thanks Bro.

The best thing to do would be to Odin the stock ROM of you choice, you messed something up along the way.

CM12 is a Lollipop ROM, I wonder if wiping internal would fix it?

 

[Ainz_Ooal_Gown]

Had an issue with activation and have to get a refund so I'm still on the S3 for another week or so. The S4 is pretty sweet.

Wish Boost had the S4 cause then I could join you :/

 

[remotehugger]

same with VM - S5 but no S4 -

from my VM SGS3 - jdsingle76's rooted 4.4.2 NDC - stock kernel (for now ?) ?

 

[mattzeller]

Thank you

Yes, as soon as I get one that can be activated I will be moving my focus to the S4.

I've stalked you from Epic4g to here, now I'll have to get an S4, dammit!

Probably a little late but I always Wipe Data / Factory Reset & then Clean to install a New ROM before switching back and forth from Lollipop and Kitkat. The file structure is a bit different so I always wipe the internal SDCard clean before restoring as well. I have yet to have a problem doing so. If need be, I save files/folders from the internal to the external to restore them later ( sometimes even full backups )...... that is what my external SDCard is for. I never save anything on internal anymore unless I have to.


I have switched back and forth from LP CWM Roms to TW KK Roms back to another LP CWM Rom and so forth and so forth ending up on this one doing the above.
( never got my GPS to work on LP CWM though even with all the suggested fixes...:silly

Still you have to Wipe your internal SD....

Just installed this ROM yesterday on my L710, great job! Everything is working perfectly so far!

+1 for a barebones of Wicked S5

@bilgerryan, have you considering making a barebone version of this ROM like you did with Wicked X? Thx

I just briefly had a chance to load this ROM in trying to troubleshoot my phone shutdown issue (turns out to be a bad battery). Great ROM, but I was too overwhelmed by all the bloat. I too would love to see a barebone version of this ROM.

I thought I did say that ... If I wasn't clear, yes, I do wipe the internal SD as well.
:good:

Its not that hard to debloat it yourself and then it would be bareboned the way you want.

In some cases it's easier for me to do it because I know where the dependencies are. I've got a Bare Bones test ROM uploading soon.
