updating from 11-2
Hi
If I'm already on R11-2, how do I update? Do I just flash this to the same slot (after backing it up)? Do I need to flash the NI2 firmware tar again?
Thanks

Read through the OP right before the download section. Its all there :good:

Flashing From Stock
Sorry for a total noob question, but I'm new to flashing and I'm paranoid
It says in the first post to do a full wipe if coming from a different ROM... Would stock TW count as a different rom? Or can I dirty flash this to the stock slot without doing anything else?

No worries ask away. Yes stock TW would be considered a different ROM.

Not sure if anyone is having this similar problem, but I cannot seem to get the flashlight toggle to work. I flashed the fix file multiple times and still nothing. Any ideas? (I'm on R12-2)

S Health Crash
I'm having healthservices crash constantly. I went from "stock" rooted 4.4.4 to your 12-2 release with a dirty flash. Do I need to wipe anything? For now I turned off S health and everything else seems to be working fine.

As stated in the OP, flashing from a different ROM (stock is a different ROM) you need to clean flash.

NI2 Firmware
So, what happens if I don't flash the NI2 firmware with ODIN after flashing the ROM with safestrap? In my haste to get this up and running I may have run out of the house before flashing the firmware. As of now it's running fine and it says my build is OptimalRom. I can see Viper has installed and the volume up flashlight tweak is working. It seems to be mostly there short of the extra toggles in notifications.
Chances are I'm going to get home later and fix this, but I was just curious because at the moment my phone is running great.

It would probably work on other firmwares (since rooting NI2 requires downgrading), just not 100% stable and you'll probably get many FCs. What's your baseband say? If it ends in NI2, then you're fine. If it says NE9 or NCG or NHA, then you'll want to flash the NI2 firmware.

Baseband ends in NI2. But, like I said, it's running pretty much flawlessly. Being paranoid of something down the line not working correctly I'm probably just going to fix it later tonight though. Thanks for the quick response! If this is not 100% than I'm going to be extremely happy when I re-do it later and get it working correctly. Cheers.

@houstonn was originally developing but stopped in June due to computer failures which is being resolved soon. His last build of 6/29 was on 4.4 sources and required the modem of stock 4.4.
The current builds supplied by @ayysir and now @jakew02 are on 4.2 sources which would require that specific modem.
Which ones exactly not sure as I am not familiar with every carrier version only sprint.

It has been stated in the ROM thread multiple times that you must use a 4.2 STOCK JB MODEM for best compatibility. Any other modems you guys use is solely at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. @MeestaAytch they should know what to use at this point but thanks for clarifying again for those who don't want to search before posting :highfive:
@jakew02 no problem. I know it's tiring repeating the same information but from what I've seen in my time using XDA.... It'll never change.
I'm glad you devs still continue doing what you're doing for us though knowing this nonsense goes on.

A few bugs
Hi,
The thread is too big for me to go thru it post by post so I'll just make a few questions and hopefully I'll get some answers. I flashed this ROM and it was working flawlessly. I only found very few bugs like not being able to set up multiple recurrent alarms because the app would freeze and there was another bug but I can't remember. The problem I find frustrating is with the text messages or SMSs. At first I was not receiving SMSs. Then I was receiving them but I couldn't send any. I returned back to stock VS98024a and I'm still having the same problem but at least I'm getting a pop-up when "General problems: cause code 96". I have googled this several times in several ways and can't seem to find a solution, not even on the Verizon site or help app on the phone. I need help with this please.

Please state exact filename and order of wipe/flash.
Just tried the test build for D802. Booted at LG logo for a while then screen turned black with 2 red lines and one green vertical line. I was so sure I was gonna get the permanent black lines but then again I read that the damaged screens are caused by already faulty hardware under high heat.
Anyways, I panicked and then I restarted the phone by pressing power + down. Then I got the weird boot sequence like everyone above describes and it boots into the OS. Thank God I got no black lines! However it wasn't stable for me as the phone rebooted itself twice within the span of 20 minutes. I'm going back to 13/10 build for now.
Any d802 users flashing latest twitter released rom can you please report here if jdi or lgd and whether or not weird logo appeared?
I'm on jdi and had weird logo appeared after clean flash. I did not let the rom boot and reflashed previous version without further problems
FYI, houston's latest works great so far on the VS980. Clean flash, using RenderKernel R24.
So i have the vs980 and i currently have xdabbebs rom on my phone, but i want to try PA. Can someone explain how to flash a rom over another rom, or is there something else i should do. i tried it once by flashing with twrp and it just hung on the lg sreen. luckily i had a back up

Migrating from one ROM to another is for me like this:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Wipe all except sdcard (yes, wipe system)
3. Flash new ROM
Be sure to always have a Nandroid backup!
And always check what baseband (aka radios or modem) your new ROM is requiring.
-___-
If you are UPDATING your current ROM, I.e. flashing a new build of let's say paranoid android, you can flash the updated file right on top of your old system. That is called DIRTY FLASHING and it's actually risky, so please, always do Nandroid backups!
-____-
Peace
Thank you for the reply. I tried doing it the way you suggested again and i get the same results. I wipe everything that is necessary and when i try to install the zip it immediately says failed

Ok
I would;
Update my custom recovery to the latest
Download recommended baseband, to be on the safe side
Redownload the ROM
Check the md5-checksum
Retry to install it
Flash the recommended baseband, better safe than sorry
Never give up
Peace
Hi guys i just flashed the newest build and out of all the roms i have flashed i have never seen this problem. After i flashed i have no sim service at all. Done a clean install still no good.

Yes this is well known by the dev. It's just a small problem from aosp code in the rom.
Here's from the new test build. Not all aosp code in yet but it's not like that in nc4 test build1.

I thought I would give an update to my post in the main thread asking for some guidance. As I was on NC2 kernel/build# (even though nc4 baseband due to previously trying all of them hoping for better reception and selling on nc4), I decided I didn't need to flash anything prior to flashing Eclipse 2.01-kitkat, and I also decided safestrap 3.72 was fine, mainly because I couldn't find anyone saying which beta of 3.75 was the right one to use, and I knew others had flashed earlier versions of eclipse on 3.72 successfully.
So anyway, I factory reset from SS, flashed eclipse, factory reset again, and everything worked perfectly. Due to holidays I got very little time to mess with it but it never had any crashes with light routine use. Then I got the dark gapps from play store and flashed those. That's when it got buggy. I was flashing on top of "normal" gapps which was probably the problem. But basically none of them worked at all. I restored the normal ones from titanium backup just to limp through the day with a functioning phone but now I want to do it right.
So I've paid for the dark gapps and SE gadgets in the store. I'm ready to start from scratch. Should I flash the dark gapps immediately after flashing the eclipse rom and then get gadgets again? This is still for the latest stable build not the test builds some of you are discussing. My phone status attached
I'll write up a little step by step guide once I get it working because I feel it's the only thing missing... the rom itself is a godsend for delivering us from touch wiz!

Anyone else experiencing a heavy battery drain? I had fantastic battery life on 2.01 with the NC2 kernal/radio, but now I am getting a massive drain on 'Cell Standby' and 'Device Idle'. Battery drained 25% in only 2.5 hours, with little to no screen on time.
I'm assuming this is related to the Unity NC4 Radio / NC2 Kernel update I flashed via Odin prior to installing Eclipse 2.1?
Seems like the download link page is down
Everything works perfect except the lollipop email. Everytime I enter my credentials, it force closes and the app no longer opens. Is there a fix or is it something I'm doing wrong???

Nitro said he tried it and it wasn't nothing special.
Hey, first let me say awesome work man! Loving it!
Second, I have a question. I flashed this on the ATT (N900A) variant, and there has only been one issue. Incoming calls do not show contact names, instead they show the phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks a million.
Edit: Actually it isn't just the dialer/phone app. Other apps are having trouble reaching contact data as well. Hmm.
can't use OTG cable
I'm running Eclipse rom v 2.2 on my SM-N900V, Android 4.4.2, NC2 build.
Whenever I plug in an OTG cable with a flash drive, Eclipse reboots. It's a 32gb flash drive, formatted NTFS, and I'm mounting it with Paragon NTFS and Total Commander. I've tried an exFAT drive and it didn't work either.
It's really frustrating, does anyone have any advice?
Slow Data (for a single app?)
Installed this Rom last night. LOVE IT. It's by far the best I've tried on my phone. I'm having one problem, though. I play a game called "Ingress" (not sure if anyone is familiar with it or not) which uses GPS heavily. This is the one app that is having problems on my phone since I put this ROM on here. The GPS portion seems to work just fine, but it appears that the data connection for this app is EXTREMELY slow. (Even on Wifi, I get the same results.)
I'm getting great latency and speeds over my mobile network, so I know that the phone itself is working properly. But, it seems that the sending and receiving for data within this one app is hampered greatly. I know that there isn't probably much I can do, but I was curious if anyone out there used this same combo of Rom & Ingress and if they had any of the same issues?
Lollipop?
There has been recent talk of Verizon rolling out lollipop for the Note 3 in upcoming weeks/months (it's Verizon, who knows), will you continue work with this ROM on lollipop or is this not going passed 4.4.2?

This is not exclusive to 4.6, I noticed it on 4.5.1 as well.

Any insight and/or help getting this to work would be appreciated greatly!

work with encryption?
do you think it will allow encryption? I haven't had much luck yet with any rom except stock for root, twrc, and then encryption. my work email requires it or I'd skip it entirely...
thx

I haven't tried but it's possible. Not sure why encryption doesn't work on other roms, but the "regular" version of this one is basically stock with root, TWRP, busybox, etc. I've disabled securestorage and added r/w permissions for SD card too, but if that's a problem you can reverse those two changes by following the steps in OP2 in my dev thread. If you test it out please report back and let us know if it worked

resolving LTE display issue
Hi,
I believe I have replaced the Systemui.apk correctly with the correct permissions using Root Explorer but still see the 4G rather than the LTE in the bar.
Any ideas?
Thx.
Nick
ps thanks for the debloated ROM - working great for me with KT Kernel

Check out this post from my other thread in the dev section. I think you'll also need the platform file, not just the Systemui.apk. Let us know if that does the trick.

UPDATE!
v2.1 of the roms are now live! Based on the latest N910W8 BOC4 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware. See OP in the dev thread for updated details, instructions, notes, and download links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58717681
Still no luck

Thanks - I replaced the platform in permissions/etc/ with the updated one but at reboot still 4G.
Any other thoughts?

What version of the rom are you flashing? Debloated v1.1 or 2.1? The files I linked were from the AOA1 base so not clear if they will work on BOC4.
1.1 and A0A1 base files

A01A Base and debloated V1.1.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond - not really a big deal - just more a point of trying to figure it out for myself at this point. I will likely flash to 5.01 debloated now anyway - I have KT kernel running with the 1.1. Does the 5.01 have it's own kernel? (sorry if this is a naive question).
Thanks again.

Happy to help . v2.1 (i.e. Lollipop) has the stock kernel. If you have already updated to BOC4 through Odin at least once before then the kernel will work for you when you flash v2.1. If not, you'll need to flash a compatible custom kernel (e.g. AEL, KT, etc) to avoid boot loops after installing v2.1. See OP in my dev thread for full instructions.
Not sure about the LTE icon. Maybe try copying the CSC folder from another working rom to v1.1 and try flashing that? If you're on kitkat and running xposed there is also a module you can download called LTE Switcher or something like that. I've used it before and it worked for me.

Thanks - I will install a custom kernel post-2.1 flash to get the BOC4 update. Appreciate you taking the time. I'll keep working away at the LTE issue. Let you know if I figure it out.

Yes just confirming that you should be able to get the LTE icon by copying the CSC folder from stock or from the Regular version to your phone (after installing the Debloated version of course).:good:

Debloated 2.2 released!
Notes:
Used a new debloat process and also fixed FC when using the front-facing camera.
If you get any FCs after initial setup (such as Google Maps or Samsung Link Platform), just make sure to update the problematic app from the Play Store or Samsung's Galaxy Apps store and then you should be good to go!

One thing that isn't working is the service provider code of *#2263# isn't working (MMI error).

I've tried both versions and neither version can access the RF Band Selector menu. It comes up with a MMI error. I've gone through and tried manually selecting a provider and that didn't work neither. IMEI is intact, and no issues with making receiving calls or texts. Flashed back to stock via Odin and no issues with getting to that menu.

Hmm that's strange...I could understand an issue with the Debloated version since things were removed, but the Regular version is basically just a rooted and deodexed version of stock. You have a N910W8, and not using any other mods or kernels, correct? Not sure why it would work on stock BOC4 but not the Regular Rom since they are essentially the same...

Yes I had the same thought, so I went from the debloat to the regular. I also ensured that I wiped 3x in TWRP in all required sections (all except internal storage and SD Card), before doing the flash to debloat or regular. Also made sure I waited 5 minutes post boot and then reboot before going through the setup wizard.
In any case, not a deal breaker for some, but may be fore those that are looking to enable LTE on N910W8 (Wind purchased phones).
I am running a N910W8, with no other mods or kernels. I was running straight stock w/root, before flashing the ROM's. Ensured that I was running BOC4 before flash. Not sure why, unless the base ROM you're using in the Deodex and Debloat doesn't have that menu's within it's native firmware, but I was under the impression that the firmware for canadian models were all identical with their own carrier codes attached to the firmware. (CSC Code chage *#272*IMEI#).

Thanks for the info. Strange indeed! Yes the Canadian roms should all basically be the same as you mentioned. This one is based directly off the stock Bell BOC4 firmware from sammobile so not clear why it would on stock but not this version. I've read something about Wind phones being a little different from the other Canadian variants in some way (I forget the specifics now), but that was a while back and I'm not sure if it's actually true or even related to this lol. Either way I will take a look over the weekend and post if I find anything of interest.

After installing Google Photos, should it be moved to /system/priv-app?
Two requests
First off I just want to thank you for your hard and excellent work. I have been using MOAR for quite some time and it has been great. I am switching to the BS free ROM - it's almost exactly what I want. I was curious if you could add back the Samsung Email App with Exchange Support and also the S6 Keyboard. I have to run the standard email app for work, and could not find a seperate source to successfully install on BOG5. I was able to get the S6 Keyboard sepererately and installed, but who wants the ugly S5 KB preinstalled anyway?
Thanks!

stock ncg to no bs 0g5 issues
Hey how you guys doing? Thanks for all your hard work jkruse.
I'm having issues. I flashed back to stock NCG, I've rooted, installed busybox, installed safestrap, installed flashfire v0.21, when I go to install the no BS 0G5 deodexed rom using flashfire. I do the following steps I select the firmware first then the rom finally the kernel. Once it flashes and finishes it just freezes at black galaxy s5 boot screen it stays there and doesn't do anything. I've checked all md5 checksums verified them again just to be sure they checked out correctly. I'm no noob I've been flashing roms and rooting since I had my Droid X back in the day. If you could point me in the right direction, your help would be greatly appreciated and thank your time.
Are you flashing the firmware as a zip or firmware package? The firmware flashable file includes the kernel, and it needs to be flashed as a zip, not a firmware package.

Try flashing the NCG kernel with Odin and see if you can boot into safe strap. If you can get into safe strap, then install the BOG5 kernal.zip.

I've been flashing the firmware as is, I'm not to sure how to select flash as a zip or package. I'm new to flashfire, I've always used odin.

Do you tap "Flash firmware package" or "Flash ZIP or OTA" when you select the firmware?
I select firmware for the firmware part

flashing back to stock yet again, this time i did the ota flash zip on each i selected rom first, firmware, kernel, lastly theme. it flashed everything but refuses to get past the black galaxy s5 logo it did something new this time it hangs and boots to recovery.
Your phone keeps bootlooping every time because you keep flashing it incorrectly. DO NOT flash it as a firmware package. DO flash it as a ZIP or OTA.
I will make it much more simple. Boot into safe strap, then tap install. Install BOG5 firmware, then install the BS free ROM. When the install is complete, tap wipe Dalvik/cache, then tap reboot. Then wait 7 minutes for your phone to boot into awesomeness.

Alright I'll do that now, thanks for your time. I really appreciate the help.
I've never had issues flashing the way I have been until earlier today.
Forgive me, I misread your last post. I see that you flashed as OTA last time. I haven't had any issues flashing with FlashFire, but I have heard of some people running into problems. Try using safestrap and following the steps I just posted. Also, you do not need to flash the kernel, because it is included with the firmware.

I may know why you are running into issues now that you hadn't before. On previous builds, JK would use an actual firmware package and separate kernel. The BOE1 firmware contained a bootloader update that prevented downgrading, so it needed to be modified, and was no longer an official firmware package. Since then, he has made the firmwares flashable as a zip. You are probably familiar with the older method of upgrading the firmware, which is why you've never had an issue before.

Just reflashed and started fresh, now it's working and also the themes are aswell. No more issue's.
Looks like I've ran into another problem, wifi tether keeps getting force closes when trying to use foxfi tether app. Maybe i have to copy some files from a stock 0g5 ROM? Using the google deodexed version.
