NI2 Advantages? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see no benefit to myself under my circumstances for VoLTE. It still counts against the calling minutes in my plan and my standard voice is fine. I am rooted on NHA running exposed and am incredibly happy with the phone in its current state. Are there any other benfits out there with NI2 that should prompt me to upgrade?

I am running stock rooted NI2 right now. Came over from custom roms based on NE9.
Honestly, not a lot of changes aside from VoLTE. Some people say there are a few visual changes (I haven't noticed any).
I noticed faster galary app, no lag at all for me while loading pictures anymore. Option to disable camera shot sound and that's it.

Oh, free basic visual voicemail, which I don't use it anyway.

I dont think it works for Sense ROM's (cause they're coded differently) but here:

There's also a thread on xda with Google Now for ICS. Pretty easy, you just gotta flash the zip and then check, if the permissions have been set right. And I can guarantee it works on Sense 4
Actually I'm using it with Virtuous Infinity
But: you need ARMv7 Processor (guess you'll have that, Inspire 4G and Desire HD should have the same processor) and you have ot make space for it on the system partition.
And on Sense ROMs that means deleting a lot of stuff

It's better then what GuyInTheCorner posted (no offense) because you don't need an extra app for voice recognition

PS: Now the update has finally landed on the Play Store, and with a slightly newer version number. Hangouts v2.0.122 (as opposed to 2.0.012 on the N5) is presumably beginning its slow and steady staged rollout, but you can get it right now. The problems with video chat and some crashing should be resolved in this new version, as the libvideochat_jni.so library is now included with the Hangouts APK. Previously, fixing the issues the missing library caused meant adding it in manually, which required root. You can download Hangouts v2.0.122, from one of the two mirrors below:
Has anyone actually tried this?

I'm running it. No noticeable difference. No problems before update; none after.
I just got an update to 2.0.128. Not sure what it fixes (most likely the critical bug with emojis).

Got an update today.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but this came through today. (Attached)
Me too...just few hours ago

Any comments on the update?
Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?
TIA

^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.
Mine is 223.99 MB
Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------
I guess that's it till sometime next year then...
Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here
I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.
Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.
Build num: LRX22G.T715XXU1AOI5
Kernel: 3.10.9-5795450
Android: 5.0.2

It looks like you're on the older build which this build fixes (overheating etc.) Suggest you keep checking manually for updates.

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.
I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Its normal, since samsung installed knox on their phones and tab, downgrade is not possible, through the normal way, or procedures.

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Will wifi calling work with unlocked version for tmobile?

I just saw there is an unlocked version coming out at release and I was wondering has anyone heard if it will work with Tmobile wifi calling? If so I will get this phone.
I bought the unlocked v20 and it didn't so it's something I need to know before ordering.
Did you ever find out whether this works? I'm on the fence about buying an unlocked model, but I really need wifi calling to work.

yes. it does work with VOLTE and WiFi calling automatically activates once you turn on WiFi. at least it does on mine.

is there any rom for op6t with mirrorlink support?

I have mirrorlink in my car but my phone doesn't support it, so I was thinking that there might be a rom with it built in?
LineageOS and most of its derivatives already supports Miracast mirrorlink out of box.

If you mean Android Auto "Mirrorlink", good question, as Android Auto app is mostly useless as it tend to be crash happy (good concept, bad execution on Google's part).

Really? That's awesome, I didn't know, I haven't seen it in any of the "features" lists so I assumed it wasn't. Thanks for letting me know!
I would suggest trying LineageOS derivative anyways (crDroid or similar) as you could have better luck getting it work than on stock ROM.

No, Android auto is working with op6t original ROM, I just don't like it. My car supports both android auto and mirrorlink but needs a "mirrorlink enabled phone" which op6t is not.
Just to make sure we understand each other, LineageOS supports mirrorlink so i can use mirrorlink dependent apps like sygic navigation etc?
Good point. You have to try it, I don't bother using Mirrorlink on my Android headunit in my truck.
