Newbie Question :) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is cm 12.1 stable as a daily driver for gs5 ? I really think I should try. I'm on lollipop 5.0 not rooted anymore. Also on last question, will the new touchwiz be available on gs5 as on gs6?

If you want stability stick with stock.

Stock already is full of lags. With lollipop my phone is much slower. Maybe because of art I don't know. Will the new touchwiz be available for s5?

If your phone lags on Lollipop TochWiz make a factory reset. Lollipop TouchWiz doesn`t really have lag. New S6 TouchWiz probably won`t be available for S5 but you can root your phone and install S6 ROM (you can find them in Galaxy S5 Android development section).

Samsung apps on custom roms

Is there anyways to get Samsung apps on a custom ROM? I find that while the 4.4.2 Roms generally work great, that lack of SApps and especially the one hand functionality, really reduce how great these Roms can be.
Or is the best bet just to root Samsung's Roms?
Thanks in advance.
Never heard of the leaked 4.4.2 kitkat Samsung rom? ???

I think he is referring to AOSP 4.4.2 ROMS.
For the OP, I don't think it is possible, and believe me, I am in the same position as you are, whether use the boring Samsung ROM with all those features or to use nice looking 4.4.2 ROMs with no Samsung features
Why wouldn't it be possible? Aren't the Samsung apps just apks that can be extracted? Or is it all based only on touch wiz?

Its based on the touchwiz framework. Yeah, it's apks and you might be able to install them but they might either not start up, work properly or not be able to install.

Apks require TWiz framework to work which is impossible to get in AOSP ROMs. AFAIK, MIUI is the only custom ROM which supports SApps.

Rooted S4 4.4.2 (UCUFNB1) questions

Is there a way for me to put CM12 on my device with my current bootloader? This is my work phone but man I hate Samsung. I don't know much about the S4 because its not my personal phone.
It's not possible. You're stuck with safestrap and tw based roms.

[Q] Getting a version of xposed framework for Lollipop

I was wondering if there was a way to install xposed on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 running a rooted version of lollipop or is it not possible due to the locked bootloader?
Thanks for any help,
Pettyfan45
Nothing to do with boot loader. It's a problem with how badly Samsung skewed ART. Xposed works on AOSP/AOKP Roms like cm12. LP 5.0.1 and below, but NO TOUCHWIZ BASED LP ROMS

Galaxy i9505 Overheating after the Lollipop update

My Galaxy S4 i9505 is overheating after the Android 5.0.1 update...
Is there any solution to fix that....???
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Lollipop is still buggy even though its veen out for so long if you dont care about lollipop try a downgrade with odin. Downgrade helped me with a battery issue. If you want to keep lollipop downgrade root and flash a rom and you can keep lollipop and no problems.

Is it possible to downgrade to Kitkat....???
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
It may be possible, but if I recall, it's not easy to do. You may be better off rooting, if not already rooted, and installing a custom ROM. Custom ROMs generally don't care which baseband is installed.

The I9505 and (likely) I9515 have no stock Android 6.0.1 Touchwiz ROMs. They don't exist as Samsung never provided an update. All stock-based ROMs in the development sections for these two devices are stuck at Android 5.0.1. The only viable upgrade path past Android 5.0.1 is Cyanogenmod or an AOSP-based ROM. Upgrading will mean you lose the Samsung features as well as its camera app, but you will get a device that runs more efficiently due to not having the Samsung apps running in the background.
The I9506 does have a custom, not stock, Android 6.0.1 Touchwiz ROM as one of Samsung's other devices with the same processor was upgraded to Android 6.0.1. The ROM from that device was ported to the I9506.
