ROM Request

Hello one and all!
Is anyone interested in porting over [non-touchwhiz] Cyanogenmod to our lovely Galaxy S5?
This phone would be so fantastic running smooth AOSP-like android 4.4.
If anyone would like to, I'd be so very happy. I can't do it myself as unfortunately my coding experience lies in HTML/PHP and the web in general.
As thanks for whoever helps me in this, I can provide hosting for some projects of theirs.
If you're reading this, even if you cannot help, post/vote to show your interest in seeing this accomplished!

According to the Cyanogenmod website, they're working on the S5 right now. Give it a couple of weeks I guess and until then, my S5 is sitting on the shelf and I'll continue with my Nexus 5. Even with better specs, the S5 on TW is clunky and laggy compared to the AOSP based Nexus 5.

Cm is even clunky on the nex5 when u compare it to true aosp ROMs like slimkat or paranoid android.

Yeah, I've still got my SIM in my S3 for now- running nightlies of CM.
And I've just noticed that post- looks like they posted that at the same time I posted this.

Do you know that Paranoid Android is running a CM base? Or did they finally split off completely?

Anybody know if features such as finger print scanner, TV remote control and heartbeat monitor will work on aosp?

Those will be something that you would have to add in to AOSP Android.
That being said, all bar the fingerprint scanner have apps already in one form or another in the Play Store.

We didn't even get the Lollipop update yet... so I don't even think of the new TW, looks like $ammy forgot us completely. :crying:

S6 Touchwiz is 64 bit.
don't even think of the S6 TW.

UI has nothing to do with 64 bit

Just use APEX or NOVA launcher, lots of config options and faster than TW. I'm using APEX on my Note 4 with Lollipop 5.0.1, it's really fast.
By the way I read yesterday that if you're not using TW launcher the app UnifiedDaemon can be freezed (with TitaniumBackup) and that improves battery life... just did it last night and testing today.
Regards.

Xposed Framework?

Anyone got Any news about Xposed Framework for Marshmallow, /Nexus 6p? Is it coming? @rovo89

What is this framework? What are the benefits? Or the downside of it?

Better than what, stock android? It's really hard to explain "what it is" exactly, I'd suggest researching it.

Just think of it this way...you can install modules (tweaks) that do different things. It's not available for Android M yet.

It let's you install modules that tweak the ui, save snapchat snaps, Instagram photos, hide root from apps, tons of stuff

It's a way of getting most of the benefits of a custom ROM while still running stock, and being able to pick and choose which of those added features that you want.

Essentially, it hooks into the framework of the ROM you're running at a low enough level to provide modifications that standard apps don't provide. Using it requires Permissive SELinux, and right now Marshmallow doesn't have that. "Is it better?" is an illogical question, as there's nothing like it against which we can compare. It is good to have as an option, though, because it can allow for things on nearly any ROM that the ROM creator might not have thought or opted not to put into his ROM. Another thing that is useful from Xposed is the ability to hide whether or not your phone is rooted on an app-by-app basis. This allows apps such as Google Wallet (Android Pay) to function in their entirety regardless of the state of the phone. Long story short: We want it.

I tried a fresh install of Pure Nexus and removed root and still couldn't get Android Pay to work. What did you do to get it to work?

Probably this. Make sure you flash the FiFix dialer if you haven't already (you don't have to root if you don't want to).

Oh, do you have to flash the FiFix Dialer? I don't use Google Fi (damn Sprint and T-Mobile for having no coverage here), so I never flashed it.

It is really just the Google dialer but for some reason, it is now necessary for Android Pay to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks. Worked like a charm, and my bank finally added support for Android Pay, so glad I finally got it working.

Please help
I just bought a 6p and the seller didn't tell me it was rooted. Everytime I press the home button it doesn't go home same with recent apps. Also the notification bar doesn't drop down when I swipe. Please help or please tell me the best way to get back to stock.
Thanks

Do you have a computer at home? Just have to use one of the Nexus toolkits download it and click unroot/stock option

Time to do some research. It's very simple to return to stock and get the bootloader locked. Just read read and read some more

[Q] Is it possible to have HTC Blinkfeed on stock Android?

Hi everyone,
I have always been a big fan of HTC's blinkfeed launcher, but given the M9, and the fact that I got used to big screens, I have now a Nexus 6P.
I tried some similar apps such as Flipboard and Flow Home, but they don't feel the same.
I found some website explaining how to install HTC Sense to any phone, but I guess these old versions won't be Marshmallow compatible. (see here https://devs-lab.com/2015/05/install-original-htc-blinkfeed-on-any-android.html)
Does anyone know how I can bring Sense to my Nexus 6P? I only need Blinkfeed

Well, here i have found exactly what you are looking for

Check this out: http://www.fulmics.com/htc-sense/ Haven't been updated in a while, but is still the most universal Blinkfeed installation I've seen.
Also, try the Xposed module Sensify if you really need the latest versions.

Fullmics HTC Apps port is the best working port I ever found, works flawlessly on stock and custom ROMs.

Thanks everyone for your answers, I'll try fulmics. Can anyone confirm that it works with Marshmallow?
