C-RoM -4.4 !!!!
work very fast , easy to use , very beuatiful rom , save a lot battery. very reccomend!!

I have cm 11 nightly version 20140101 on my i9000 and it's by far the best rom I've found. It's sleek, light, fast, user friendly and consists of very few bugs.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

incoming call transparant
I don't know whether this is the right thread to post in but I do have an annoyance to report.
Is it intended for the incoming call screen to be transparent as below.
AFAIK its a solid black since ICS??

I was given my Galaxy S by my brother and have only used it to play with so far, my prime use, apart from as a phone, was to have been as a replacement for my stand alone TomTom satnav.
I have tried many many roms but the satellite lock on time has been far far to long so the phone was always kept in the drawer. I have now resurrected the Galaxy S and played with both KitKat roms released by ts1506 as well as EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1. I have to say that with EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1 installed, with TomTom maps, satellite lock on is now virtually the same as with my TomTom 950 and I am now at last using my Galaxy S daily. I am now a very happy chappie indeed.
Both Roms by ts1506, regarding satellite fix times, are also very very good it's just that I installed EHNDROIX IV 14.1.1 last.
May I also add that by visiting this great forum I have certainly learned a lot and it has certainly brought me many happy hours in my retirement. :good:

Thanks, i'll try

I use CyanogenMod 11.0 by ADC-Team - Alpha 3 (EOL) - Kernel 3.4.x since yesterday. So far the fastest ROM I used.
Only issues are that some Apps like eg. MixZing don't work, hope that there will be a cure to this soon.

try to update the app, as some apps may have not (yet) been updated for kit kat.

Btw. I might have misread the topic but I am using it on an I9001.

Thanks for the quick reply. I uninstalled and reinstalled the App already. Unfortunately no change.

I have switched from CM10 (which was very laggy on my i9000) to CM11, and everything is great so far!
More battery life, faster experience overall, stable, no serious bugs.

you've should update to the latest release with ION. it works even better and some apps like Chrome, Google Maps and several other apps wil be better.
Speaking about the Galaxy S plus wich i own, the (as we speak right now) latest CM11 by ADC team is working already really good together with K^Kernel, Its amazing that these 3/4 year old devices can get the latest and greatest versions of android and work well

i need to tests all to recommend one

Am on CM11 Beta 3 now and works quite good. Do you recommend a custom kernel or does it make more sense to stick to the standard they deliver with the package?

My vote
I love clean rom's that's why i vote Supernexus and Cyanaosp, no trash.

Hi newman2015:
First of all, that can void you warranty since you will root and install a custom recovery on the S5 (Of course it depends on your region).
If you want a more stable and mature ROM, then go for Kitkat, some ROMS out there have great MODs like the Dragon KK CM11 rom.
On the other hand if you want to try something new and new capabilities then go for Lollipop, there are great variants out there and they are getting more stable each day, but expect issues.
I have tried several of them but the best for LP are Bliss, Dragon, CM12 from albino887 (UNNOFICIAL)... For KK i recomend Dragon ROM, Liquid Smooth and Vanir, all of them with great customization, but that's my personal suggestion.
I hope this helped.
Best! :highfive:

there r alot options i need know which one support my phone cuz if i am not wrong in need rom with G900FXU1ANG7
right? to support Sanpdragon galaxy

Hi newman2015:
Since you have the International variant of S5, you can flash any of those ROMs that I mentioned earlier, if you need further assistance don't hesitate to ask.
Best! :good:

Hi newman2015:
Of course. IF YOU WANT FIND A GUIDE WITH IMAGES, just google it. But the basic steps are as follow.
- Always do a backup!!, since you can lost everything (CONTACTS, FILES, PHOTOS, ETC.)
- Download a stock image in case that anything goes wrong, that way you can boot you S5 once again
- Download ODIN, that way you can boot you S5 once again and just in case
- Download your desired ROM to your PC
- Download GAPPS to your PC (remember to download KK GAPPS)
- First of all follow the guide to root and install a custom recovery (Chainfire CF-Root, don't do anything extra FOLLOW THE GUIDE and you will be safe)
- Once you have root and a custom recovery and you booted into ANDROID OS, transfer the ROM and GAPPS to your phone
- Remember to do a backup!!
- Find your APN settings in your current ROM and take note of then, back up them, etc.
- Turn off your phone and press HOME, POWER and VOLUME UP button to boot into RECOVERY
- Find the option WIPE
- Swipe to do a Factory Reset (you will start clean... )
- Once it finish, select the option BACK (DON'T SELECT FORMAT DATA OR ADVANCED WIPE)
- Select the OPTION INSTALL
- Navigate to the directory where you saved the ROM and GAPPS
- First select THE ROM FILE
- Select the OPTION ADD MORE ZIPs
- Select GAPPS file
- Swipe to begin...
- Wait a little... a little more...
- If you don't receive errors select the OPTION FLASH DALVIK and CACHE (Just to be safer)
- Select the option REBOOT
- Enjoy your new ROM
- Restore your APN settings, contacts, etc.
Hope it helps
Best!
P.D. To be honest I can't remember if the hebrew option is there, but my guess is that it is

HELP regarding Upgrade to MM STOCK ROM OR CM 13.0 !!!

Hi guys, its been a few days since I joined here. [Read : I am a noob/newbie in Android related things, and I desperately need help.]
In July (maybe, I forgot), I rooted my ZE550KL, using exactly this method from the website of www-asus-zenfone-com. :cyclops:
Now that, my android seems aged, I wanna shift/upgrade to Marshmallow/Nougat, be it Stock or Custom ROM.
Few days earlier, I unlocked my Bootloader using the Unofficial Bootloader Unlocking Method, as found on this Forum.
I also installed TWRP Recovery, and I tried to flash CM-14.1 [7.1] Nougat-Nightly through TWRP, but, unfortunately, resulted in Status 7 Error. I tried to solve the problem by removing "asserts" section in Update-Binary text file, in the build. But, again, I seemingly worsened the problem; as I got Status 6 error thereby. So, I did factory reset, and I still retain root.
Now, today as I am going through the Official thread of CM 14.1 Nougat, I saw numerous users reporting Bugs of connection issues (something like Wifi to Mobile Data switch problem), which I would like to OBVIOUSLY AVOID, as I want a stable, bug-less build. So, I am thinking to go with the last snapshot build of CM 13.0 Marshmallow.
Here comes the my question : " SHOULD I FLASH CM 13.0 MM -- OR -- STOCK ROM OF MM -- OR -- RESURRECTION REMIX MM ROM?? "
In any of the case, please guide me through the process of doing so.
And, if I have to flash CM 13.0 MM, what would I do if I encounter Status Error 7 again ? :crying:

first you have to upgrade it to marshmallow using stock rom. Then you can flash cm13 or cm14.1

While flashing CM13 if that error 7 includes "asus.verify trustzone failed..." Then its bcoz of need to update modem files (LP to MM)....
Easy way to overcome it is..... download MM modem ZIP from second post of OFFICIAL CM13 thread (120MB) and flash it using TWRP (If you are using twrp).... THEN you can flash cm13 hopefully without error 7....
If you are using stock recovery then Either u can flash twrp and use above method... OR... Download ASUS ZE550KL firmware zip file from ASUS site (1.6GB) .... Put it in SDCARD... Then boot to stock recovery and use "apply update from sdcard" option... select ZIP... Alongwith firmware Ur Modem files will also update to MM... and now u can flash twrp and then cm13...
sorry.. I know if i am lazy to post direct links...
Try it.. I will help if i can

We have both stable RR and CM13.
CM is simple and clean and less loaded.... RR is most feature rich Custom rom we have alongwith stability...
Rest depends on what type of user, u are... If u like trying differnt ROMs... Start with CM13...
If u just want to have a feature rich longtime setup, U can use RR directly without wasting time... It is based on CM, So it obviously have everything CM has.... :good:

Then Open TWRP recovery in ur phone and restore the stock recovery.
Then Erase Every Thing including System.
Then Restart The recovery. Now you will see that the recovery has gone back to the stock recovery.
Now flash the stock marshmallow from your memory card.
Then flash TWRP from fastboot and thn u can flash any supported custom Android MM or Android N.
N.B. If it dosent work. Then you have to first install the last lollipop Zenfone 2 Laser(Z00LD) software then install the marshmallow.

Stock ROM with MoStock kernel is good. Try it.
However, if you want a little lightweight ROM, you might want to try @ED300's CyanogenMod 11.
You might also like ED300's CyanogenMod 12.1 as well. However, the latest updates, I find, are a little slow on my phone.
You can also flash MoStock on said CM11, but I haven't tried it, as you have to repackage some modules for WiFi & such.
I personally am on CM11 update 11 (with no special kernel) right now.

CyanogenMod 11 is a KitKat based ROM as far as I know and currently I am on RR 5.8.4 64-bit nougat ROM . Can you please tell does it require a specific procedure to flash from Android N to K or is it okay to flash normally like wipe > adv wipe > cache , dalvik , system / flash ROM , gapps , reboot.

Reverting to KitKat from Android 5.1+ (Lollipop, Marshmallow & Nougat) requires you to flash stock KitKat ROM.
Or you can try this firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...itkat-lolipop-firmware-base-switcher-t3249046
Though I haven't tested this myself, I believe it will work fine.
---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------
Since you are on Nougat:
- Download KitKat firmware.
- Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system (don't wipe internal).
- Flash KitKat firmware & then flash the CM11 ROM over it.
If you choose to flash Stock KitKat ROM, do the normal flash:
- Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik & then flash Stock KitKat ROM.
Doing the latter (flashing KitKat ROM) will bring your device to the state of first, out-of-the-box, fresh boot.
What this means is that you'll have to start all over again (i.e flash recovery again).
