Bugs
1. The GT I9192 users will not be able to see, in which sim they had received the calls in the call logs menu. To solve this problem, use "Zero Dialer" app from the playstore, it'll show you the sim numbers of the calls received.
2. Apps which has the drop down menu option will force closes whenever you press it. (mostly the payment apps only. The solution to this is you can use browser (instead of the app) for that :laugh::laugh::laugh
3. For GT I9192 users, system ui fc occurs if you make calls with the Heads Up option enabled. So don't use that

Activate the developer option, go to that and in the last you will see an option called "advanced system settings".
In that, you will see an option with the name "Power off button setting". There you will have all the options for the power menu..

Also what you mean by, "Once you installed you can't uninstall the adds and viruses?" LOL....Its funny....
Because for the past 2 weeks i am using this rom and before that also i used this and i changed to CM 13 and some other MM ports for short time. No problems arised while changing....
Now due to some reasons, i revert back to this.... And moreover some of the users here personally contacted me to give the links of this rom. That's why i created this thread....

And one more thing i am not making any fun of you. But i want you to make clear about the "Viruses and Adds" thing??!!!!!

 

[sboida1]

Was really looking forward to trying it out, what viruses :crying:

Hello there. my phone never had kitkat officially so i am using s6&N5 port(which is 4.4).
do i still have to download I9190XXUCOC1_SER.zip? or can i directly flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip.
because i heard kitkat update bootloader and i do not want my bootloader to be updated as i may want to go for jelly bean.
btw i updated s6 port(kitkat) from NEW S6 n N5 Project thread from jellybean. and worked fine.

 

[syednawaz]

okay i flashed it over s6 port(4.4.4). but i got random restarts. then i went in twrp recovery and wiped everything and freshed install only flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip file. still crashed. i guess i have to follow your instruction but as i said i cant install kitkat stock firmware as it may update the bootloader.

You can remove the bootloader files from the stockfirmware.tar file using total commander and flash the firmware
