[Q] Google Play Edition-Like ROM? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see a Google Play Edition ROM was created for the HTC One M8... My heart was set on the S5, but that ROM makes me question my decision. All I want is a pure Android experience, nothing more. Before I pull the trigger I thought I'd ask the experts. Do you think there will be a Google Play Edition-Like ROM created for the S5? Thanks...
P.S. - I completely understand there is no Google Play Edition of the S5 available at this time.

The phones not even out yet, I'd give it a week to see what Devs come up with!

If they have the same luck as the S4, I would say no. The exploit was there early on, but after MDK, no dice.

When the phone is now out you may check the difference.

Paid Market App question

No, don't worry this is not another "I don't see the paid market applications" thread.
I am wondering, now that we have some really excellent and 100% usable builds, and furthermore, I am committed to the Android platform in general - I am looking to purchase some applications.
My question is - how are paid applications linked to you? Say I buy a weather widget, and I choose to switch to another build, or say another phone. How does google link me to that purchase? Will I be able to redownload for free just because I'm signed into my Google account?
Greatly appreciate any tips on how this works

they are linked in to the "cloud" just like anything else involved with your google account. it will install if you switch to another build(, unless,
say you buy a live wallpaper in an eclair build it wouldnt download in donut. it would download again when you use an eclair build again though.

To be clear:
It's linked to your google account.
If you buy a new Android phone, you'll still have your apps.

Froyo to support animated gif

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3422#c151
See comment 151. I wonder why you need a lot of RAM for that. So I guess only the Nexus One and the Milestone and the future high end Android phones will be able to display animated gif.

5.0.6? And in the browser?
Does it support only in the browser? Or will it support it in the gallery too.
I always get those neat forwards...but they always show up as a video and it kind of sucks

The changelog for Cyanogen rom is here: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/CHANGELOG
Looks like he took Google's source and added it to the browser, but it doesn't say anything about animated .gifs in mms's

I use handcent messaging app. It shows all the gifs when people send em...
Oh well i just remember I came from Cricket and a samsung messenger (I didn't need a smartphone back then) and it always looped the gif, and played it in the gallery. I kind of miss that lol.
They work perfectly in the browser. Don't know about just normal gallery..

I know, but there is really no negative effect other than voiding your warranty. Well, at least in my eyes. Cyanogen is a very trustworthy ROM distributor..

Amen. I rooted my g1 but I just don't want to anymore. Plus I feel like I shouldn't have to. Google should take care of us, and I'm sure they will I just wish they'd throw us a bone
cyanogen has added this function from google's code drop to 5.0.6.

I rooted day one.
I will likely never run another rom other then the one from Google.
I played the whole rom game on Windows Mobile and it never made me happy.
I'm not doing it with my beautiful Nexus One

Then you shouldn't expect the updates at the same rate rooted owners get them, you get major updates fast compared to the likes of iPhone OS and Web OSs

Same here. I'm rooted but stock as well... custom roms just aren't for me...

Infamous rom!

Just wanted to share that we have an Infamous rom to play with over in infamous forums. It's based off NJ7. Haven't tried it yet, but here is the thread. MOD EDIT: REMOVED, no links requiring registration allowed
Awesome, can't wait to flash
Gonna test ...
IMO when I see all this roms out right now and I see the features is basically the same thing all the other roms have.
In time things will move away from stock. Don't see the point of that til 5.0 drops.

How did you know that I was coming here to this thread to post the exact same
thing you have just posted?
There are 4 Note 4 N910T roms in the Tmobile Note 4 N910T forum right now
and all of them are 99% exactly a like with hardly any differences, but the devs
are just getting started, don't be impatient...
Some of the roms have more play store apps added to them than the others. LOL
P.s. don't tell anyone that I wrote this post!

You are a trip sometimes lmao
Also to add on to that, some claim to have battery tweak and some may be more stable (from your perspective) Matter of finding out which stock work best for you! I know one of them doesn't like my phone so much lol

Firstly, jovy23's rom should be best for everyone at least for the time being, it's
almost the only one except for the Infamous rom (which is not available here in xda) that
does not rely on expose and it's modules to modify or to do anything to the rom.
I see more and more users are having issues with xpose and it's modules.
The expose framework & it's modules are not fully compatible with the Note 3 and
it's Android 4.4.2 operating system so how can anyone expect it to work properly
and be fully compatible with the N910T and it's 4.4.4 operating system I don't know.
The more mods and features that the developers will be adding to their roms the
more xpose & it's modules will be causing issues and will not be playing nicely.
The xpose framework & wanam will need to have a major update so all the features
and options in them work properly without breaking other parts of the phone.
Just my thoughts.............
I agree I am still running stock with some tips and trick found here and there some posted by @mgbotoe and is running smooths and fast and now my battery seems to have settle and I am averaging a full 24hrs+ with 5hr screen time which is fine for me.
I am not going to jump ship until lollipop comes out.
I don;t know if you know the reasons - but can you shed any light on why Infamous decided not to create their own thread on XDA?
I am not questioning their right to post their rom wherever they want - but I just curious why they are not doing anything here -? My reccollection is that they used to be all over XDA - I really am just curious if you happen to know...?

I would imagine they will once they get out of alpha stage in development. Too much can go wrong so early and it's a nightmare with people who don't know ow what they are doing who decide to flash

You know, I never even thought about that - makes perfect sense. I guess if I had used my brain (what little of one I have) I could have figured that out by myself - LOL - thanks

corwest is completely correct. They want to wait till it's more polished.

Im not sure but I would guess perhaps got tired of certain people acting dumb in xda and stuff and started their own.

that is completely believable -
As a member of the team, I can say one or maybe both of those reasonings are right. Who knows! But happy flashing
Ive flashed both Infamous and Hyperdive roms. Nothing more or less than anything else out at this time. I restored back to Dynamic Kat until Devs start getting more features.
I believe once sbreen gets the Note 4 and can bring all of the Note 3 tweaks over here, that will be the rom to beat for sure. Just My Opinion.
Update is live go get it guys.
nice to see them here now we just need tweaked !
is there a link handy i dont really want to join another site to download

[Q] ROM Question Note 3

I did search around for this and even on Google I don't think I got a clear answer. Does a plain jane AOSP ROM exist for the Verizon Note 3 retail? I don't care about losing any of the phones features due to this. I've seen the Eclipse ROM but is that the only option? Thanks in advice!

not unless the bootloader gets unlocked...
Thanks for that info. Just so I understand, the bootloader on our phones is not currently unlocked and probably won't be unlocked in the near future?

Hellooo
In my experience it cant be found on the store manually if it is not. Secondly most issues people have is the lagg due they have a bad wifi connection. Most games hardly use mobile data once installed and loaded first time.
So I could downloas it on my enox. To answer it.
Also I advice to use game tuner and read the tips of it. It does allot.
Just wanted to share some extra info.

Ola.
Let me tell it in this way. My English is not that well.
I have a s7 edge and lets say I wanne play uhmm minecraft pocket edition.
If I open the store and look it up mannualy it wont even show up at all. It already means I cant play it on my phone.
To be double sure. Open webbrowser go to google. Search for in my case minecraft. It will always show it. Click on it and open on playstore. It will always show it ypu then and it will say this app is not compitable with your device.
Btw minecraft is compitable for me. But that was the first thing popping up lol.
Hope you understand lt.
