Android 5.1. update is LIVE!! Yay! Build G925FXXU2BOFJ - Galaxy S 5 General

T-Mobile Galaxy S5 just got the 5.1 update, build G900TUVU1FOF6.
The international set used to receive before US-sets but it seems T-Mobile is bucking the trend. Anyway, hope it is ported soon. Or we have our own official 5.1 firmware soon. :good:

Here's the link http://31.220.4.75/dl/TMB-G900TUVU1FOF6-20150622093044.zip
I wonder if we can run this on 900f with a custom kernel? What's the worst thing that would happen: soft brick? or need to flash ofw in odin?
Edit: Here's a mega mirror.
And here's a system dump with APK's and whatnot .

Can anyone post some screenshot of this release? Thanks in andvance!

Anything from the s6 included? Mostly interested in the new theme engine.

No new theme engine. Typical Samsung-style move - artificially forcing previous models to look and feel old by not updating touchwiz on them.

Remember that Galaxy S2, born with Android 2.3.3, received the "Nature UX" namely TouchWiz 5.0 with same features of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3. Maybe they think that the new Touchwiz is no such new than the "older" one on S5 KitKat nay on S5 Lollipop with white UI.

But that was a whole year after the S3 was released. And even then they disabled little things like waterrings unlock etc ONLY to make a point that the S2 is not the S3.

Hello,
Is there camera RAW/DNG support? (Camera2 API)

Yeah, best case scenario for when we get an official s6 rom is a whole year from now.
If they're gonna copy Apple and the iphone they might as well copy their update style and keep all devices with the same os and ui...

Although the thread has started with the Idea of Port, it has become Firmware Feature discussion. That should be happening in [SM-G900/F/K/L/W8/A/T/M] S5 Firmware Thread
Any firmware should be posted in that thread if its not there already. You can choose to Work with that OP if need be. This one needs to close as its duplication.

5.1.1 by end of July according to Sammobile.com

Just saw this: http://www.sammobile.com/2015/06/01/exclusive-samsung-to-start-rolling-out-android-5-1-1-lollipop-update-to-galaxy-note-4-by-the-end-of-july/
"Google revealed the developer preview of the next big version of its mobile device operating system – Android M – last week during Google I/O 2015, and the release of its final version is due in Q3 2015. Now, you must be thinking if Samsung is too slow in updating its existing smartphones and tablets to the latest version of Android.
Samsung has already improved its software update game starting this year, and it has already rolled out Lollipop update many existing devices. Now, Samsung is already testing beta versions of Android 5.1.1-based ROMs for various existing devices, and we’ve already shown you the upgraded camera app for the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge that will be released with Android 5.1.1 update for the devices.
Many Galaxy Note 4 users are impatiently waiting for Samsung to release Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for the device. Well, here’s some good news for those guys. According to our highly placed sources, Samsung is planning to release Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update to the Galaxy Note 4 by the end of July. As usual, we will be the first ones to show you the upcoming ROM running on the actual device."
:good:
5.1.1 was released on april 9 so this is somewhat fast considering that.
but never trust samsung and their time lines.

Do you also read that the new camera app will come to note 4 aswell?
I don't if it's indeed good news, I thought that we would get it by this month , can't wait to see sammobile do a preview , will we get the new touchwiz? The new camera app, the themes? So many questions :crying:

as an s6 edge user with note 4 i can say. new touchwiz is mostly same with what you are using on your note 4 with lollipop. but 1 exception performance of s6 is just sucks. insane ram usage, lags everywhere, crash etc. and people call it, its best touchwiz performance its basically a lie. its 1 of worst experiences i have ever had with an flagship device.
camera app just has different design capabilities are same pro mode is basically there for note 4 too.
only themes missing. others basically same.

Honestly I'm just hoping that the Note 5 is going to come with Android M out of the box at this point, because it truly makes a difference; in comparison to lollipop (5.1.1) on my Nexus 5 it's like night and day. Really fantastic update from google this time around.

i still didnt update my old nexus 5. ill try if its that different. i doubt note 5 will have android m out of the box. probably same thing will happen with note 4 and android m will release after note 5. hope it will be perfect on its release time unlike lollipop this year. 5.1.1 should have released as 5.0 last year so all companies could have done the updates fast and perfect.

I'm pretty sure that we'll get none of the features you mentioned.
I hope it is not another firmware number change & new theme to be used like the Lollipop 5.0.1
We need full active Lollipop the latest change in toggle, the new camera API 2 with RAW support & the new themes with other Galaxy S6 & Lollipop improvements.
not to forget battery life fix & RAM high usage.
for 32 bit or 64 bit matter I hope they activate 64 bit ability in Exynos version …………… that will be awesome.
Sadly, this update doesn't come with Camera 2 Api or S6 features. Just under the hood updates (memory bug fixes, etc).

How do you know ? I think IF they're ever going to release camera 2 for the Note 4, they're going to do it with 5.1.1 release
---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------
BTW I honestly feel the 5.1.1 update wasnt all that interesting (the CM users have been on it a while). The Nexus users reported some performance improvements but these were mainly due to kernel changes. So if Samsung did some good work there, it might be interesting. Otherwise, the 5.1.1. update is going to be quite a non event in my opinion.
I hope they include themes. As somebody on a non bootable US Carrier version, themes would at least allow me to stop looking at the same damn icons I've had on every Samsung device I've had over the last 5 years!

The OTA went out over a week ago.
People have been posting their experiences here and at other Android Forums. If I'm not mistaken the T-Mobile Note 4 also got the OTA about a week ago.
SamMobile are not always fast at getting the complete FW, as OTAs tend to go out 1st.

I've had the tar file for nearly a week. I've made a zip of both the 910p and 910t3 5.1.1 releases but neither of them will boot on the 910f. Log says it failed due to modem so I'm guessing we need the non-hlos.bin for it to boot. So it's a no go for now but I do know someone got my n910t3 zip to boot on the tmob

So it's not a long way for waiting , I hope
It's definitely been out for a while, though I held off a few extra days for a tweaked, flashable ROM to show up. Didn't want to give up my unlocked OB7 bootloader or root.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for that to happen!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/romstockishno-knox-8-7-15-sprint-t3174350
Much faster, recents menu lag is practically gone, Gear VR performance is noticeably smoother (GPU driver regression fixed?), and all in all, I'm pleased. This is how Lollipop should have launched to begin with.
Here's hoping the other variants get caught up soon, you all deserve it. If anything, I'm surprised Sprint is, well, sprinting out the gate with these updates, especially compared to carrier-unlocked models!

Unfortunately, not a single camera2 feature's supported there. Word is the S6 still doesn't fare any better in that department, so perhaps Samsung just doesn't care.
It's quite a shame, as it could make the Note 4 that extra bit better, but I guess we'll just have to yank the camera driver out of another IMX240-equipped phone that does. Can't think of much other recourse at this point if Samsung won't bother.
S6 supports RAW, S5 has been updated with it too.
Note 4 NOT.

Two days ago I read about S6 firmware and I was mistaken - it was said:
Last week T-Mobile beat all other US carriers to the update, and in a surprise move began pushing out the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge with new features, bug fixes, and improved performance. That same update is now headed to one more carrier in the United States, as well as the older Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 update will feature changes to Samsung’s 16 megapixel camera, or the app. Included is RAW support and custom ISO values for the camera. It’s also expected to feature iOS-style exposures that will allow users to manage their exposure with simple on-screen controls. This is in addition to the return of Guest Mode allowing for multiple user accounts on one device, new motion effects, and more quick settings controls.

I think is from Algeria or Morocco or Tunisia French language
BUILD G900FXXUCOL4 or COK4
I really hope this is a very early version, because the leaked firmware is basically Lollipop S5 with new icons...
Hopefully the guy who received it cooperates in providing a ROM dump instead of trying to sell his phone.
it will be the same as lollipop with the diffrence of icons usual samsung bullsh-t good news is once we get it we can port s6 and s6 edge roms hopefully
I hope New Camera API is implement. so we can play with manual Camera.

I would say that as long as we get 6.0.1 is a good thing. I mean is not like we're not going to run some custom ROM anyway. If it is on the latest android version we will probably be able to get some of if on all of the new features that marshmallow offers via mods.
Some tests on Galaxy 6 edge proved that Android 6 was much more multi threads processing better than Android 5 Lollipop. Hope the same things would come to our G900F

Hi guys
In few weeks we will get new 6.0.1 marshmallow o.s.
Now...ok for doze and some icon but for the rest our s5 is the same...
If you navigate with root browser you can see that all apps etc are the same of kitkat o.s...this is ridiculos
About my personal opinion our s5 deserves more!!
For example new touchwiz, new briefing, new weather app etc
What do you Think?

I think that samsung doesn't apply new graphical feautures for our s5

They are not instable, they just have a few bugs like Fingerprint scanner S7 Camera and Video Calling not working, but I have been using it for more than 2 weeks and it's super smooth and perfectly able to use it as my everyday rom.
Yes but I wait for future release; )
I totally agree, but samsung just saying if you want the new touchwiz you must buy the new phones, same thing will happen with the newer phones.
But when we will receive 6.0.1 update we could be install new touchwiz etc?
This is my question
Well the most important changes are always under the hood like doze. You can allways change the UI with customizing. Samsung policy is if you want the S7 look, buy S7 phone.
They don't want you to stay with S5 when you can give them money for S7.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
i'm happy as long as we get doze, and the new permissions managers. Would be a bonus if we get the DPI changing option
I'm sure there will be a Marshmallow ROM that will suit my needs.
Still I don't get it, why add new icons if they won't bring the themes? It makes no sense for me.
Cm13 on S5 is better than TouchWiz...

Comparing LG, which changed LG G2's interface to G3's one on lollipop including G3 styled weather widget, Samsung seems to not tend to implement new interface to older devices on its update.
They changed the Note 4 UI to the Note 5 design with the Note 4 marshmallow update

Android 8 for SM-G900F

Hi to all SM-G900F fans and for all developers! :laugh:
I'd like to introduce this topic to discuss about the possibility of the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F to have the new Android 8. Knowing about some amazing improvements that were made to the new Android 8 that will arrive soon, I'd like to know the following:
[ALL FANS] - What do you think about our S5 SM-G900F having an Android 8 ROM? With a booting time cut in half, with app performance increased in double, with drivers available to update, etc.? If that will be possible to the developers apply to the S5 SM-G900F, it would be great or not?
[ALL DEVELOPERS] - What do you think about the idea of creating an Android 8 ROM for a great 2014 phone? It will be possible to do that with all improvements that were claimed for the new Android 8? It will worth that huge effort?
As you can see I love this phone, no doubt about that. :laugh: But, my wish is to have my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running Android 8 with all those features that were claimed to have in the new Android OS. If that can be possible, I think it would be amazing for this phone! Because I think the hardware is still good to support newer software and it would be very nice to see an excellent quality/price phone like this to match new ones.
I hope my wish can became true. . .please do not let this phone R.I.P!

If android 8 will come out, we developers WILL DO OUR BEST to get the best out of the s5. Seriously, we try our best but stop saying things like this, developers do this things without wanting anything in advance from you, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT! And please don't open threads like this because it is like opening a thread and just saying "i bought a new phone and i am happy (no **** sherlock lol) "!

Yeah, you're absolutely right and I apologize for my behavior. I was only excited about that I just decided to try to share my feelings and thoughts with the XDA Community. I love XDA Developers. It teached me so much about everything related to Android over the years. However, I must follow all the rules and have a good behavior so please feel free to remove/delete this thread.
Once again, I'm sorry for having opened this thread. Just a BIG "thank you" to all developers for the hard work they always do and for all members that share doubts and solutions for everything related to Android.
Best regards,
Lu

It's alright to discuss about such things, but never push devs beyond what they can do. You simply show disrespect and it's one of the main reasons why devs give up creating something new.
Regarding Android 8 (Android O), I don't think it's going to be an easy task to port it to our device. At first, on Nougat was hard enough to make everything working (camera being one of the main highlights, since N has a completely revamped camera interface under the hood, like different process handling and stuff). I can't imagine, what O actually brings to the table and in no way it's going be a walk in the park.
And neither battery life nor camera is going to be as good as stock. Blame Samsung and Touchwiz for their closed source nature.
Even if it happens, camera will still suck. Why flash something that makes your phone worst and unstable, just to say that you have the latest android version in "phone about"
I don't know why you are so hyped about it, it has really small changes since Lollipop...

Of course not. It's about to have all the NEW features in your OLD phone (if possible, of course). I think there are several phones (like the Samsung Galaxy S5) that have plenty potencial to run newer software. Besides that, one teacher I had, one day, he told in the classroom that there's no limits when programming, it only depends on our imagination to create solutions. I'm nobody to say that his words are correct or not, but I believe if there's will and hope that things are capable to be made.

I'd love to see Android 8 on my S5. It is true and it will be always true that the stock TW camera is the best one. It has slow-mo and 1080p60 video (I know that OnePlus camera has 720p90fps slow-mo, but that's not that great comapared to the stock.) But in my opinion, for some picture shooting, it is a great camera with the stock Lineage camera as well. (Maybe one day someone can find Samsung's driver).
Besides that, the S5 runs great with the latest 7.1.2 Android, and I believe that it will run as fast (if not better) with Android O.
Definetly hope for an upcoming information, devs: take your time, make a great rom.
I don't see anything wrong with this topic? The guy just asked if it's possible lol He didn't tell you "MAKE IT NOW!!". About stock android 8 - no. Stock android is boring, even Samsung's version of KitKat has more features than the newest stock android from Google. But some sort of port from, let's say, the Note 8 or the Galaxy S9 would be awesome in my opinion. There already are S8 ports for the KLTE which work with little bugs that will be fixed soon (SkiesROM) or ones that don't really matter that much (DreamUX ROM). Hardware is more than capable. iPhones have super low hardware and Apple updates them for 4-5 years ahead. This means that 'old' 2014 hardware like the S5's can be used perfectly fine even in 2020...with the right developers. BUT, nothing beats official Sammy firmware. Sure, you'll get the new features from android O(reo?) and the new Note8/S9 but bugs are inevitable whereas TouchWiz 6.0.1 is fine in every aspect. I'll stick to my S5 until 2019-2020 and then buy a new S10 or S11 (xd). I just hope that Samsung bring back the features from the S5 like IR blaster, fingerprint scanner on the front, hover view in the gallery and video apps, etc. FM Radio won't hurt too (still envy my S3 Mini for having it, 1%=3h radio) :|
