Stock lollipop deodexed but back on kit Kat I had an AOSP ROM, Pure Nexus by Joe-tech, it's in the development section. Just don't try flashing any Roms for the S4 Active international version (i9295), definitely not compatible

According to other users yes, I always played it safe and went from stock kit Kat to stock lollipop and then flashed the ROM so I can't say for sure. I'll draw you up a debloat list in a little while when I get a free moment

Check out the OP in this thread for an extensive list of system apps safe to remove, it's the list I originally went off of. Yeah it was made for kitkat, but nearly all the names are the same and those that aren't are pretty easy to figure out. Freeze or uninstall any and all unwanted bloatware with Titanium Backup, it's what I did. Some general pointers, uninstall any system app: with knox in the name, with AT&T in the name, anything google like Google+ or hangouts is safe to get rid of (obviously don't touch the play store or play services), and you can get rid of, for example, the stock Samsung email or calendar apps, just don't get rid of the sync services otherwise replacement third party apps won't run properly (i.e. you can uninstall calendar, but not calendar storage). Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer for now

I know on NH3 if you uninstall Samsung Hub your screen rotation will not work and no idea why it may just be my phone. I don't know if this is the case for OC6 I left hub installed for now. There is however a fix if you have that problem without having to reinstall Hub

I assume you mean this fix? Yeah that worked for me for both NE3 and NH3. However you can safely uninstall Samsung hub on OC6, I did and no rotation issues. Hell I was even able to mod android.policy.jar for full 360° rotation on the deodexed rom. But point being this is no longer an issue for OC6, feel free to get rid of Hub.

Practically everything I know about modding stock Samsung system apps either comes from this thread or is at least linked to in it
Some examples: getting rid of the battery cover toast, disabling home button on/wake on text message or USB plugin, coloring/theming systemui and settings, flashlight in pull down menu, CRT screen off effect, changing carrier text, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting more, but those are some of the mods that for me into that sort of thing

[ROM*s*] [Rebooted: 4/30] VZW Stock Rooted 24A, 11A *&* 12B {LITE} w/ LG Add-Ons

ROMs have been rebooted! ROMs are now extracted directly from KDZ files for purity.
24A has been ornery, Took a bit of work with MicroMod777's base to get it working.
As before ROMs, 24A, 11A & 12B, have been stripped of every Verizon and LG app that is not included somewhere in the settings.
They are simply extracted, debloated*, rooted, busy boxed and zip-aligned. 24A is Now recommended as it has all the benefits of 11A with no 12B issues.
G2 Settings are recommended for both ROMs as it does every mod needed. *24A ROM is 1.23GB, 11A is 1.2GB and 12B is 1.33GB.
LG apps still included are:
QMemo.
QRemote.
QSlide.
Slide Aside.
Voice Mate.
24A has a few other services added with the LG update.

Possibly but not me, not now. There are times AOSP doesn't perform as well as a feature ROM. This, IMO, is one of those times. HTC sense 5 is the other.
Nice and lean thanks. Running it now. Any way to get the stock weather app/widget back on here? I tried restoring from a titanium backup from stock rom and it wouldn't do it. Thanks.
Edit: Also this rom is missing calendar app and the ability to sync calendar data on my exchange account. Again tried to restore anything that says 'calendar' in it with titanium and it failed. Any ideas before I go back to stock? Gotta have calendar.

Yeah, I goofed. I always put apps in /system/data/app instead of /data/app.
Just realized it.
Since this is stock Im guessing data is good like stock I can deal with the rest. Thanks

It is pain to type long texts. I tryed every keyboard on PlayStore. But i think that good keyboard only can be ported from other roms.

Roms that currently can be flashed on AT&T S5

So while we wait for the 'Development' area to start filling up with new Roms, I opened this thread for people to share what they have found it currently works from other S5 Forums.
So far I have tried and work:
* Alliance Rom (From the T-mobile Forum) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748569
* Stock International from the International Forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761682)
* X-Note from the International Forum also works (after removing the Aroma stuff and editing the META-INF folder, Thanks @Skizzy034 for the hint)
* Vision-X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797336
* Alvin's Stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791067
You have to setup the APN after installing the Roms
*** IMPORTANT***
If you lose root on when installing International ROMS, use 'towelroot v1' to root v3 seems to not work sometimes.
I posted this in the safestrap thread. It will help out for this thread also:
(Aroma Based Roms)
You can. You just have to take the stuff you want out of the optional aroma install folders and place them in the corresponding /system folders such as /system/app. Then you have to edit the stuff in the meta-inf folder or, easier, replace the meta-inf folder with one from a non-aroma based rom, then just flash as normal.

I download a stock G900F rom , cook it with ArchiKitchen with ANCE modem.bin (need to specify boot and modem block). Modify others.xml for displaying NFC icon, disable shutter sound, and enable recording. Also modify customer.xml to make AT&T's default APNs (except FOTA and security strings) so data works right after the first boot. Disable Knox with Archi and no more annoying notification.
Totally stock.
Didn't check root yet but I believe it might have gone? I did not root my rom so I suspect it might have gone?
EDIT: Check with Root Checker and the it doesn't appear to be rooted.
I've been able to flash most ROM's from the international forums, as long as they have stock kernal and I take out the Aroma stuff, only problem I've noticed on every one of them is SuperSU binary fails to update, don't know if it has something to do with safestrap or what.
We need and stock deodex rom for full theming and tweak lets see if @bri315317 will hop one the s5 att since now we have SS

I can confirm that the Allience ROM from the Galaxy S5 is working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716535
It appears you need to add the AT&T APN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697270
See Q13 for APN settings. Good luck everyone, and let the flashing games begin. Maybe someone needs to start a thread where the rest of the ROMs can be added and modified to work with the AT&T GS5, and take out the aroma stuff.

Flash the SuperSU zip. I think it's 1.94+ or something like that. You can find it in XDA somewhere or Google it. I would link it but I'm not sure where to find it. You just flash it in recovery.

I wish I had an s5 Active base for you. Hope someone sends something, we would love your work over here.
Are the firmwares different between the s5 and the active version?

Can't stay rooted!! Can anyone help?

Hello, everyone. I'm having an issue on my G800H I can't get figured out. I'm no stranger to rooting, having rooted 15-20 of my own devices, but only 3 were Samsungs (two S5 Sports, and a Galaxy Admire). I've never had this problem with any Android, but I can't keep a Touichwiz OS rooted. I've rooted both 5.1.1 firmwares many times over the past month using both Supersu 2.50 and 2.66. I've never kept root for over 24 hrs. I've thought it may be a Knox issue, but even when I uninstall every Knox related app I can find, I still lose root. The Knox apps I'm aware of and uninstall are:
BBCAgent
Bridge
ELMAgent
KLMSAgent
KnoxFolderContainer
KnoxMigrationAgent
KnoxSetupWizardClient
KNOXStore
SecurityLogAgent
SwitchKnoxl
SwitchKnoxll
Maybe I'm missing a couple. I've tried with both the Russian kernel and with the Tardis Ultimate kernel. I've even tried returning to the stock kernel after rooting just because I wanted to try everything. I've also tried rooting with about 4 different versions of the kingroot apk and even tried the PC version last night...none will Root either 5.1.1 firmware... @sasukesama, which version is working for you? I even tried the new beta apk!! I would use CM or BlissPop, but I can't stand my phone to not be fully functional and I can't stand navbars...but I can't stand losing root even more so I may use 1 of the 2. This morning, I even decided that I'd rather have Root than Lollipop, so I returned to 4.4.2 and rooted with SuperSu 2.4.6...a zip I've used many times on many phones without a problem. I lost root within 3 hours. If anyone has heard of this before or knows a solution, please help me out...I'm losing my patience with this phone, and I don't want to give up and sell it....

I would use CM or BlissPop, but I can't stand my phone to not be fully functional and I can't stand navbars...but I can't stand losing root even more so I may use 1 of the 2. This morning, I even decided that I'd rather have Root than Lollipop, so I returned to 4.4.2 and rooted with SuperSu 2.4.6...a zip I've used many times on many phones without a problem. I lost root within 3 hours. If anyone has heard of this before or knows a solution, please help me out...I'm losing my patience with this phone, and I don't want to give up and sell it....

Try this:
Flash stock
Flash twrp
Wipe>>advance wipe>>>check the data box
Now flash
steve's kernel
Flash su 2.50
Use the phone for more than 2 days see if it works correctly
If yes try to install one root app (x-plore for example)
Because I think there's an app that is causing this

I was thinking the same thing... So about the past 8 times or so I haven't even set it up. I only install busybox, kernel adiutor, and es file explorer. But I do use an older version of ES... And I do grant it root permissions, I use all the same app versions in my Zmax, too. I'll give it a try without granting root to anything and see what happens.
I'm on CM now btw. Stays rooted and getting used to the navbar.

I dont think gravitybox gives a triple press option, but you could probably do single press, double press and long press. Since they don't work, I turned off the capacitive backlights and fixed the native brightness slider, and now it may be time to try service on this phone.
I do like that the navbar puts the back and recent buttons back where I'm used to on other devices.

I fixed it by switching to CM. It bugs me bad to be defeated by Android though, so I'm sure to go back and try again...just not right now...lol. I'm enjoying CM. Not even noticing the RAM difference after raising the minfree values, but I haven't tried any serious multitasking yet, I don't think.
BTW, @sasukesama, I've read that this phone has the msm8226 and I've also read it has the msm8228. Well, the Zmax has the 8226 and it gets LTE. A friend who uses international phones said that to enable LTE on them, you have to add some 2 letters to the end of the APN. I will ask him about it later when he wakes up and I'll post back unless you already know about this and it didn't work.
Hahaa! Home button wake has as always bugged me about Samsungs . Since I have a navbar, I disabled the home and both capacitive keys. I'm so happy to be having fun with this phone again! Now it won't waste battery turning on in my back pocket.

Yes, I can try, but building PAC for the Nexus 7 was easy because it was a supported device for that source. I haven't even begun to learn what it would take to port it to an unsupported device. I can't even get a kernel to build without errors with a configuration I know is working.... Yet.

[Discontinued][Rom][VZW_G935U_PI3_PlayStore_Rom][Working_Wifi_Calling_VVM]

Why call this rom the PlayStore Rom? Because this rom features absolutely nothing, thats the beauty of it! If you want something your going to have to get it from the PlayStore. You can customize it any way you want. The rom boots and you can make a phone call and get on the playstore thats about it. So have fun! ​

Post Install Instructions
You must decide if you want to use Google IncallUI or Samsung InCallUI. Samsung InCallUI will allow too still receive and switch to video calls and the google IncallUI will only support HD calling. To switch to google IncallUI goto settings/applications click on default applications choose calling app and click on the blue phone app. To switch back to samsung IncallUI is a little more complicated. You will need an app like root explorer and goto data/system/users/0 and then findthe setting_secure.xml and delete and then restart phone. This will restore samsung IncallUI as default
You will also want to turn edge features off since everthing is deleted
Also you need to goto SuperSU app and goto settings and click on enable su during boot and also click trust system users
Goto this thread and under Recommended Next Steps find the S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip or latest version and flash to fix kernel lage and doze fix.
Goto setting/about phone
Click on build number 5 times to enable developer options
Change animation and duration scales to .05 this will speed up phone
You will also have to change charging/file mode from within developer options
Remember Wiping Dalvik cache will cause phone to take up to 10 min to boot on deodexed roms
If using samsung IncallUI here is a fix for call phone FC and also location service fix

@jkruse Thanks bro appreciate your efforts. One favor, do you know where the Olympic theme is located on your first Rom? (Which folder?) I'm going to extract it from the other version and install it in this one. For some reason its not on the Samsung theme store.

I didnt mean for my reply to come across rude. I just thought since the OP looks like the other one you thought it was the same. This is basically nothing but a bootable rom with like 5 apps installed thats it there are over 180 running apps removed. I kind of thought it would be cool to be able to build your rom how ever you want it without having to worry about what you can delete and what you cannot. I appreciate the support especially on new development. Understand I have many threads and and other devices so i sometimes keep my answers short and direct especially when using the mobile app which I hate using.

Ok, that is what I thought. I just was trying to determine if there was anything else major missing from that other ROM, knowing some apps would have to be pulled or installed, hence your "Playstore" moniker for this ROM. Ok, this is a good clean base ROM for those who like to order "a la carte" down the road when the need for other features are required. I may give it a spin for the fun of it.
Cool! We are good.
sweet idea
Inb4 crazy high battery stats
Just finished flashing about 4 minutes ago. Still suck on the white SAMSUNG logo. Is this normal?
UPDATE: Took like 8 minutes to boot. Runs fine.
Downloading now. Been waiting for something like this. Cheers.

I'm using the Google incall with no issues at all. Probably no need to flash if that's what you're using.
So far the ROM is nearly perfect.
Having some MMS issues again. It only works when Wifi is turned off or not connected to a network.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I even flashed your fix it ZIP.
Hey I'm considering installing this ROM because I live the minimalism of it. How's the performance? Anyone mind posting an AnTuTu score?

I actually found one of the battery saver apps to be causing the issue. I think it was amplify through xposed, it caused the mobile data to turn off when connected to wifi. So, i turned it off and haven't had an issue since.

What doesn't works after rooting Nougat

Try Package Disabler. You have have to purchase the app and it's not 100% sure to work on rooted. The developers updated the app for Nougat and had to create a companion plugin app to get around Samsung's new policies. My phone is still on stock (unrooted) MM, so I can't verify if it'll work on rooted Nougat.
