So I stayed away from Lollipop due to silent mode being gone. Finally updated and sure enough hate the sounds modes. I saw there was an exposed module to bring back KitKat silent mode.
Been doing tons of research on this forum and other websites and can't find a clear answer. Does exposed work on the Verizon S5 on Lollipop?
Some sites say at first it didn't but it was then updated..then other sites say even the update won't work on touchwiz ROMS? Idk if that just means stock VZW ROMS or even custom touchwiz ROMS?? Very confusing
If anyone knows please let me know. Also if it WILL work are there instructions for this phone specifically. Any Xposed instructions I find mention booting to a customer recovery...and then I remembered hearing that safestrap doesn't work on Lollipop so idk

I've done many clean install of kitkat previously.. Every time I switch roms so I know my phone is always running the best it can. Did the same when installing lollipop last night..full charge over night and man is this battery life bad compared to kit kat..didn't use my phone much this morning and just used it for an hour or so now and I'm at 60%

Xposed afaik currently unofficially works with certain deodexed touchwiz roms
i'm using this version of xposed and it works fine. You do need to use FlashFire to flash the zip though give it a try just install the app then flash the zip.

Yes. Samsung has done some of their own tinkering with ART on lollipop which makes Xposed cause a bootloop. The unofficial version only works on Deodexed versions.
@aholeinthewor1d
If you want to use Xposed on TW Lollipop, you can use this ROM. Then you can go here to install Xposed.
Also, Safestrap DOES work on Lollipop, you just have to use a KitKat kernel to access it. This app/thread makes accessing Safestrap on Lollipop extremely easy. No need for a computer.

I have been on Stock ZVC Rooted for the past few months and there are some things driving me nuts about it. For one the navigation bar at the bottom is too sensitive and I accidentally hit the home button when I am doing things and 2, the portrait to landscape mode is too sensitive. The 2 questions I have as of right now is there any ROM updated for ZVC yet and if not, is there a way to install the Xposed Framework Module on Stock ZVC being rooted?

Not sure what you mean about if there's a "ROM updated for ZVC yet"
Are you asking if there's a ROM based on the stock ls980 ROM?
And as far as I know regarding xposed... Go right ahead and install the apk as long as your running on dalvik and not on ART. But i might be wrong about xposed since I haven't been running on a stock for a while

Wasn't sure if the Cyanogenmod team, or any others had updated their roms to work based on the latest version on the LS980 aka ZVC aka stock kitkat but before the release I know some people said they had issues due to kernel differences/bootloader issues/etc, I don't have a custom recovery running stock zvc at the moment, just rooted.

Early on there were some problems getting custom recovery, however Cloudyfa developed AutoRec which is a app that installs a custom recovery (TWRP) without any hassle whatsoever.. All you gotta do is install the apk for the ls980 which can be downloaded from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763 M
Make sure to read the full OP for AutoRec: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
Now this is my preferred method to install cm
1) make a nandroid backup, wipe everything besides internal storage
2) downgrade your modem to ZV8 from ZVC (the reason for this is that the cm kernel is not compatible with the ZVC modem)
3) flash the latest nightly
4) flash pa gapps
5) reboot system to enjoy a crisp and clean cm rom
Link to all the G2 modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426
Also please note that this method takes away the ability to have sprint spark.
Another thing... if you ever want to restore your nandroid backup make sure to flash the ZVC modem first
If I flash the Furnace AOSP kernel and the ZVA modem instead I'll get spark, right?

Hi All,
Appreciate the guides and community here. Looking for a little help on my ATT S4 KitKat 4.4.2. It's rooted via Towelroot.
I want to run a custom rom that isn't slow. I have Odin, proper Samsung USB drivers.
1) Can CNW be used on my phone to boot to recovery? If not, what are the alternatives and how do I use them (is there a guide you can share)?
2) Do I have NC1 on my phone, what the heck is NC2, NC1-what does this mean, is it relevant?
Thanks all
-Christian
If you have updated your phone to the att 4.4.2 firmware then you should be on NC1 which means you cannot put cwm or any CM rom. The only recovery you can use is safestrap. After that you can only flash rooms the specifically say safestrap compatible and you must flash the att_nc1 module after flashing rom for WiFi to work. Read the safestrap thread under the development section before doing anything.

Those numbers NC1 etc are your build version. Can be found under Settings/About Phone. It will dictate what you can and can't do on your phone--We have no NC2 yet. :good:

Thanks. I have nb1. No luck getting safe strap to take. Install completes but does not recognize status as installed or allow boot to recovery.
I have rooted, supersu, busybox, and no luck with safestrap. Any ideas.
Upon booting I notice an icon that looks like a unlocked lock beneath the samsung logo. Touching it does nothing...
Thanks for getting back to me

I don't use safestrap. So not sure. Did you wipe all including system. And flash to correct slot. Stock slot I believe. Use correct safestrap. Also need sellinux, spelling? The lock is suppose to be there if rooted. Read the last 20 pages of the hash code safestrap thread plus the op. And same on All Things ATT/MK2 in General. May give some ideas. ☺

Not sure on index. Best though to try them yourself as they don't always work the same on different phones.

Iam all for custom ROMS. I made one for the Tab3. If all you want is the stock Nexus experience, you could just download the Google Now Launcher which is Google release the AOSP launcher. Then if you want the individual AOSP apps, you can do a search here or a google search, and you will find XDA threads that provide the apps with installation instructions.
Everything is all good, running stock. I wasn't able to do much other then use odin to update. Now I'm in a pickle. No root and I don't know how to get any kind of recovery installed. So much is out of date that one forum will say something works even though it no longer does. I could maybe use odin to get back to an older version if it doesn't brick, maybe then I can't start over? I need root and I would like to have a CM12 nightly but I don't know where to begin. Is there anything I could do?
You could use guut13's guide found in the general forum. You can have rooted oc3 to remove bloat and do other things, and if you install safestrap while still on 4.4.x, you can use it to do some stuff before you update. But nothing specific to 5.0.1 is available yet.

I'm in the safestrap recovery can I install CM12 from here?
download cyanogenmod Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) - jflteatt / nightly
Is this the right one, it wont let me add links
I've done a lot of this with a sprint S3 but I never had to deal with a locked bootloader before.
I'm guessing locked bootloader means only modified stock. Is that true? I figured if I could get a recovery on there, then I would be golden.

Long time lurker... here goes my first post, be gentle!
I bought my s5 and rooted it a long time ago but I haven't kept up it up to date. I'm still on 4.4.2 and I think it is finally time to try 5.0
Since I'm so out of date, I want to make sure I update my phone without bricking it or losing xposed framework.
My current device's system info:
Andriod Version: 4.4.2
Build: ANCG
Kernal: 3.4.0-964333
Bootloader: G900VVRU1ANCG
Rooted
Stock ROM
Safestrap NOT installed
Xposed framework installed with these modules:
Greenify
Xprivacy
Wanam Xposed
Downloads 2SD
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
Thanks!

But why is rooted bod5 lollipop bad? Besides not being able to upgrade to newer versions of lollipop, did you have a bad experience with bod5?
I'm ok with not being able to upgrade further. I stayed with 4.4.2 for a long time, I have no problem staying on bod5 for awhile.. Unless there are other good reasons why lollipop Itself is not worth upgrading to.

Xposed runs but it needs a special version (just do a google search for samsung xposed lollipop). Whenever I run greenify on xposed it causes bootloops for me, but I think it might work fine for some people. Wanam xposed has a special version for lollipop so make sure to switch to that.
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I don't think you need it, but when you install check to see if it works. You can always downgrade.
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
It worked for me when I ran it a few months ago, but if the reports are mixed take my success with a grain of salt.

Thank you for actually answering my questions!!
I will attempt OG5 using a deodexed version so I can install the samsung lollipop xposed. Hope I don't screw it up :-/ I've rooted and played around with a few phones before with no problems, but the last time I messed with a phone was over a year ago so I'm pretty rusty.
cheers!
edit: To use the deodexed version of OG5, did you use the muniz_ri method with FireFlash and just replace the muniz_ri ROM with the deodexed ROM? Or did you follow the instructions in this thread? Or something completly different?
Btw I'm still on 4.4.2 NCG but I have installed SS
Since you are at NCG already I think you can start with rooted odex stock. You should flash muniz_ri rooted odex stock with flashfire, it ll full wipe for default also. After that you 100% can flash any G900V lollipop rom you want with flashfire or safestrap, I choosed FF for myself. I am not sure, maybe you can flash deodex right away, but after some lurked and questions I personally did as described in first sentence. Don't forget to do backup, samsung for example. I was in your position not so much time ago.
i second that lollipop is terrible. go to 4.4.4 and stay. look in page 2 or 3 of android development for ricks rom and flash that, its the best kitkat rom and it just work way better than 5.0
I was able to root my U.S. Cellular S7 Edge and to my understanding it has a locked boot loader. So I am able to root but not flash custom recovery or rom. Can anyone clarify this? Also because of this, does it mean I can not actually get Xposed on my phone now?
You can install Xposed, look for instructions in your model's forums. You can't get custom rooms in a normal way but a custom rooms has been made by replacing system files.
Im not sure if the latest version of xposed would work (86 build), older versions didnt work when i tried.
