where's the love? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know it's still early.. but there seems to be a lack of ROM development for the S5 nowadays...
still hoping for the GE to come.. sigh..

You could always step up to the plate yourself... This is XDA after all..

i think everyones waiting for the camera and gps fixes on cyanogen

When the CM with all the bugs worked out will come out,the real development will start,i think...

Hi @DSA
thank you for the links. being more than a novice in ROM development, I must say it is quite intimidating to attempt such a feat..but as frederick douglas said: without a struggle, there can be no progress..
so yes i just might give it a shot, or perhaphs start with a port of the resurrection remix (or is that harder?).. i imagine i need to ask for permission form the devs as well.

hi @IOIDroid,
thank you for the follow up. the issue with the stock rom, even when debloated its that it eats up your RAM,
for example, i have barely 400MB free on 2GB (1.8 to be exact)
there are rumors of a GE version of the S5 that will come but im not holding my breath..
as mentioned above, i really like resurrection remix, i believe its based on CM, so sadly it probably wont be able to take advantage of the s5's IR emitter.
in any case, if you are willing to spearhead this project, I would very much like to assist in any way i can, even if its just testing the freshly minted rom ..

Less ROMs, less problems [emoji15]

This is very awesome.
I am glad to find this post.

So what development is missing? Or do you mean only cm or aosp based are classed as development and cos stuff don't work there is "lack of development" ?

There will probably be a lot more when the problems with camera and gps are solved.

ROMS!!

I love all these "What doesn't work..." ROMS. LOVE IT! Thanks DEVS/ROM DEVS
So don't use them?
Oh i don't. Couldn't, they are not full roms, incomplete
Well they are just trying to bring that new experience to everyone else. One of the most popular roms for our phone doesnt have 4g or hdmi working, and the ported roms dont have those working + camera not working. It really aint that bad. If you can put up with Cyanogenmod, then you can put up with the other ports.
Cyanogenmod and the ports are all pretty much faster than the stock roms too, so there's a huge plus side right there.

First go read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814274
Second when you develop YOUR Desire HD ROM let us know we are dieing for a full working version.
Sorry that the ROMs that are incomplete have put you out. Maybe you should flash stock everything works on it.
Also please try to refrain from post more brainless topics.
i have a full rom that actually works and for people that like partial roms, these "what doesn't work" things will do fine. I like functionality

I don't know what your talking about the only ROMs that are incomplete are the HD Desire ROMs. ALL of the other ROMs should be complete. I know my ROM is or at least as far as I know it is. You are not everyone, some people don't use the camera and don't live in a 4G area (most of us). So the HD Desire ROMs appeal to them. Quite thinking about yourself for a moment.
Also those "incomplete" desire roms give people like me a chance to star developing new ROMs using it as a base. SO when the camera is fixed we will be ready to rock. I'm sure THAT would be fine with you.
The world is full of other people.. just letting you know.

I am guessing the new ROM your using had everything from the beginning? Camera worked perfect, 4G worked perfect, HDMI worked perfect, no bugs what-so-ever? It doesn't have Sense does it...hopefully not...
Can I know the name of this Rom, if so? And I am guessing its made by you, because who would be stupid enough to bad mouth other people's work that they have done for FREE and because they enjoy it and want to share it with the rest of us.
I really think you should go elsewhere, and stay off XDA. As this site is about helping people, not bad mouthing what these people are doing for us because they want to.
Thanks.

What does this post contribute? Nothing. Does it serve a point other than to express your self-valued opinion? No.
gtfo
Look at these so called roms. They have lists of important features that "aren't working". They keep adding useless apps and call it a new version. Pathetic
Uncle jimmy says hello
Ok so what do you suggest? Maybe the rom DEVELOPERS, key word devolpers, should hold out on these roms until its completely functional and not give anyone the chance to DEVELOP them and test for bugs and issues? Im sorry but did Apple release a fully working OS for Iphone? Or did Verizon release a fully working Droid rom, or Sprint a fully working EVO rom? Maybe had these companies release fully working products then XDA and custom roms wouldnt exist. The roms are created to give users a better product and make them work the way they should have out of the box. Cyanogen started a 2.2 rom for the hero that had items that didnt work at first but through testing releases and community feedback they got it completely working.
Id like a copy of YOUR completely working rom. Id like to run it for a week and prove theres not a single issue what so ever.
The developers clearly state that its an incomplete rom if theres items not working and clearly tell you what isnt working. They do this to give you the option to test with them or to stay away.
Your post, and Im sure you know this, is the exact reason developers have left here. Maybe you should create your own site, develop your own roms, and forget XDA. Had it not been for here my 3 previous phones and this one would be in the trash because of HTC and Sprints crap software that gave horrible battery life.
Thanks to Fresh's rom Im at 18h 21m and 40% battery left. On Sprints crap I was dead 8 hours. Ill gladly take a developmental rom to get that kind of battery, especially since I havent found anything not working.
Oh get off their nuts. Its been months. You test fully functioning software with bugs and glitches....NOT part of an OS and call it testing. The functions AREN'T there to test
Actually slick, you test the working parts of the rom while developers complete the parts that arent working and release update when their fixed. Have you never been part of a beta community or testing in general? Game developers (Infinity Ward for example) do this before every release. Call of Duty is a prime example. They release partially finished products then finish the remaining aspects.
So how about your rom? It sounds like its the best one ever made.
Actually ****, there is nothing to test. Its "what doesn't work" action. Say your only about partial. Typical simp
Get back to work kiesha
Ok, your right and I apologize for questioning your abilities as a developer and thinking you actually were as impaired as your posts make you seem. I guess its time to go back to Sprints stock rom and deal with the inability to put out a quality product that doesnt need further developing.
I look forward to the masterpiece youve created and hopefully soon it will be released to show the world what a dominating force you are in the development world.
And no, there is absolutely no sarcasm in this post at all, you really are my hero...
Another ungrateful person who complains when things don't happen the way they think it should posting another pointless thread that is meant to stir **** up.

lets be patient and wait for the developers to cook em
we are not allowed to ask for ETAs or requests on XDA. but otherwise, just my 2 cents that atleast JellyBAM will be here without much ado considering its on Galaxy Nexus too. im sure its just that the dev couldnt get hands on a Nexus 4 yet
i guess i shouldnt even write, but boy, i hope it takes them a while. when a new nexus comes out i always enjoy how sane and nice everything is. users friendly. roms fresh. no bull****. and mashup roms are probably amongst the worst things that xda can offer, its pretty much the 9th circle of rom hell. : P
seriously, the conflicts between these three roms, which are different and follow different strategies, are so vast that its getting dangerous. we pulled out completely, mostly because we fear retribution from google which does not take app breaking lightly. the way i see it, what they do abuses our work in the worst way possible. this is not cherry-picking or kanging, this is rom raping and the laziest most uninspired and unoriginal dev work i can imagine. not sure if aokp and cm agree but thats our impression.
its xda, things are open source and all, you do what you want but im telling you, you miss out badly. each of these three projects gives you so much more, if consistency and love for detail is something you value, that is. sorry for the rant, couldnt resist.

[Q] Can't find the rom for me.. help needed.

Hi
just got my note 3, after a few days touchwiz just chrashes all the time and everthing was laggy. i figured i just root using the video from here, then i flashed CWM after in odin as a recovery, i tried Echoe ROM first and everthing was fine and smooth again, but now i had problems connecting with the usb cable to a computer. I change to X-Note and all is ok again, but i dont like the widgets, i need music to bee in 5x1 not 4x1 etc... and its too much options for me
i think im looking for a custom ROM thats most alike the original TW. but just faster and smoother with a little more features. like f.eks downloading videos from youtube etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanxx:laugh:

We cannot recommend roms. It is well known here. This is because, what works well for someone else, may not necessarily work well for you. It's all down to personal preference. Example: I prefer to stay well away from TW based roms because they're just god awful (unless modded) AOSP or AICP all the way!

I understand this. and I aint asking for whats the best ROM, etc... If you read my first question, Im looking for a ROM close to the original TW with a little bit extra stuff. I aint asking for whats the best ROM etc. im sure someone know this without me trying every got damn ROM, before i figure it out.
I actually like TW :good:
X-note has the option to switch to touchwiz theme.

The best ROM depends every single one. In my opinion X-note is best ROM for me. You should try some ROM and you will see which is best for you.
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM / Kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself. That is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,
and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

Infamous rom!

Just wanted to share that we have an Infamous rom to play with over in infamous forums. It's based off NJ7. Haven't tried it yet, but here is the thread. MOD EDIT: REMOVED, no links requiring registration allowed
Awesome, can't wait to flash
Gonna test ...
IMO when I see all this roms out right now and I see the features is basically the same thing all the other roms have.
In time things will move away from stock. Don't see the point of that til 5.0 drops.

How did you know that I was coming here to this thread to post the exact same
thing you have just posted?
There are 4 Note 4 N910T roms in the Tmobile Note 4 N910T forum right now
and all of them are 99% exactly a like with hardly any differences, but the devs
are just getting started, don't be impatient...
Some of the roms have more play store apps added to them than the others. LOL
P.s. don't tell anyone that I wrote this post!

Firstly, jovy23's rom should be best for everyone at least for the time being, it's
almost the only one except for the Infamous rom (which is not available here in xda) that
does not rely on expose and it's modules to modify or to do anything to the rom.
I see more and more users are having issues with xpose and it's modules.
The expose framework & it's modules are not fully compatible with the Note 3 and
it's Android 4.4.2 operating system so how can anyone expect it to work properly
and be fully compatible with the N910T and it's 4.4.4 operating system I don't know.
The more mods and features that the developers will be adding to their roms the
more xpose & it's modules will be causing issues and will not be playing nicely.
The xpose framework & wanam will need to have a major update so all the features
and options in them work properly without breaking other parts of the phone.
Just my thoughts.............
I agree I am still running stock with some tips and trick found here and there some posted by @mgbotoe and is running smooths and fast and now my battery seems to have settle and I am averaging a full 24hrs+ with 5hr screen time which is fine for me.
I am not going to jump ship until lollipop comes out.
I don;t know if you know the reasons - but can you shed any light on why Infamous decided not to create their own thread on XDA?
I am not questioning their right to post their rom wherever they want - but I just curious why they are not doing anything here -? My reccollection is that they used to be all over XDA - I really am just curious if you happen to know...?

that is completely believable -
As a member of the team, I can say one or maybe both of those reasonings are right. Who knows! But happy flashing
Ive flashed both Infamous and Hyperdive roms. Nothing more or less than anything else out at this time. I restored back to Dynamic Kat until Devs start getting more features.
I believe once sbreen gets the Note 4 and can bring all of the Note 3 tweaks over here, that will be the rom to beat for sure. Just My Opinion.
Update is live go get it guys.
nice to see them here now we just need tweaked !

Why are all the custom roms for the Galaxy On5 made for Europeon Variants?

So, I am a little frustrated, and I am sure this has been answered but I cant seem to find the answer.(at least not one that makes sense anyway) . Why on earth are all the custom roms made for European variants of our beloved cell phones? I have spent tireless hours combing through the hundreds of youtube videos, and dozens of forum posts, to only find one single Custom ROM that works correctly for the Galaxy on5 SM-G550T1. (Thank you to czarsuperstar for giving us The Superstarz Rom, You did it right and finished the job.)
I know I am a noob and all and I definitely am no DEV, but could someone please help me and explain this to me like I am a 2 year old. Why is there no US variants of custom mods? Now I have looked up several different phones but to no avail, unless you own a samsung NOTE or S series your just out of luck. And NO, a rom that has no sound is NOT complete, just sayin.
I know that building one of these custom roms is not an easy task, god knows my dumb ass couldnt do it, but if your going to build something, please finish the job, I mean I would never give you a house I built, that was short a roof.
Signed,

No worries bro I've been porting a rom just for our g550t1 give me little bit because my job barely have time but it will get done. Also I still need to ask for permission befor posting. Just want to make sure everything is right
That is awesome! I really enjoy my on5 and I would really hate to have to buy a different phone. I know it is not high end but it has become part of who i am, so much that I bought a second one for myself just in case some tragedy were to happen to my beloved On5. I am looking forward to your work and hope to further my experience as, what I call myself, a tech geek in training. maybe someday I will be able to build a rom and repay all the ones who have helped me in my journey. I aspire to be half as smart as those of you who do build custom roms. Thank you for the work you are doing and I cannot wait to see what you have in store
Yeah this is the first phone i ever rooted, only new to this bout 2 months. But it is sad that i cant find a sweet ROM for G550T1 mPCS. But it seems that whoever can Master this model will be shiznit. But dying to get rid of this stock ROM.

Well since I posted this there has very little help in the way of getting a ROM made or even ported one for the G550T1, So I figured I would take upon myself to educate myself in the ways of the force. It hasnt been easy but I think I may be close to having an actually working ROM, That has sound and everything, imagine that, sound. Its only taken me what 2 months to gain headway. So, bro keep your head up there may be light at the end of the tunnel yet.
