Want to use a custom kernel?
This ROM is now using 2.04 base, which means you would need to use a kernel that has been updated for 2.04. If you use a kernel that uses the 1.15 base you will see screen flicker.
Can I hide the horizontal quick settings?
Yes, just click on the date in the notification pulldown.
How do I access the vertical quick settings?
Tap the button next to the normal settings button in the notification pulldown.
MMS on GSM ROM
Use APN tweaker that is included in the Rom and just follow the steps. Once you are done, you can uninstall tweaker.
What is Zoe?

Don’t like blinkfeed?
You can set up additional screens, then make one of them your home screen.
How do I change icons on the navbar?
Open the app drawer, long press app you want to remove and drag it to apps. Then long press and drag the app you would like to add to the space on the navbar.

What resolution are pic’s taken at?
8MP
Facebook scrolling is TERRIBLE!?
Settings > Apps > Facebook > Check "Force GPU rendering"
How do I get rid of the power saver notification?

Has anyone else had issues with facebook app instability (whenever I go to search for something, the screen turns white, then returns to wherever I was before I tried searching for something, continues to happen even after re-install of app, etc) or quirky behavior in the default web browser (Reddit in particular, when I go to some screens, the screen gets squished/compressed from the sides, and instead of elements appearing next to each other horizontally, they are stacked vertically instead. Would take a screenshot of that though Im not sure how to take them on this rom)

I have the same issue.
I found a funny (to me) quirk in the system. If you have hotspot turned on, the camera flash won't work. It seems to be "officially" the way it works, since it even gives a message that the flash is unavailable while hotspot is turned on. How in the heck are these two things related?
Not an issue at all and, I believe, not specific to this ROM - just a funny observation.

Same problem here. I reported it to Facebook but who knows. I think it's the app or other conflict.
I just cannot get wireless tether to work for some reason. I searched through this thread and tried changing the profile to both wlan0 and Rezound, as well as enable the routing fix. By doing those fixes, I got the "Started with errors" message to go away, but when I try to connect to it from a PC, it never gets an internet connection. Anyone have any ideas?
I just tested and it isn't working for me either (used to use it all the time). Downgraded to an older version and it works fine again with wlan0 and routing fix. Must be the new version in the play store.

I installed the beastmode kernel yesterday and everything was great. Today, battery sucked. Checked betterbatterystats and looked like the phone was staying awake the whole time, even when not in use. I also kept losing service and had to restart numerous times to get it back. Now, when I wake the phone using volume keys or power button, there's like a two second lag. I installed the kernel choosing the default settings. Are the problems I'm experiencing kernel related?

I hate having to switch skins after every reboot to bring back the apps I have moved to the SD card. Anybody else? Hope somebody figures out a permanent fix. TIA
Or, is there already a better way of getting around it?
it sucks that the apps on my sd icons go away. i didnt know switching skins brings them back so thanks for the temp fix but i hope someone knows a better solution. cant figure it out. i thought that maybe root would change it but, it didnt. i hoped that flashing the new viper rom would fix it but, notta. thanks to whoever finds out how to perma fix.

Root gives you admin access to the ROM that's it. If you did revolutionary and just flashed the superuser zip then you are still using the stock rom with administrator aka super user aka root access. The only way S-OFF will fix this is if someone makes a rom that fixes the issue and you flash that.
No fix, Sense isn't caching icons for items on SD.
However, there's a quicker fix than what you're using.
Find and install an app on the market called "Fast Reboot". No, not the fast reboot that HTC has, it's an OS reboot like tool that just reboots all apps and not the OS.

This app doesn't actually "reboot" anything. It really restarts sense and other background apps.
if you go to settings, applications, running service, hit menu and touch "show cached processes then stop htc sense, it will reload all the apps and the icons. a lot easier than using an app to reboot from the market or switching profiles

One click to restart is harder than 4 clicks, scroll, find, stop, etc that you're doing?
I'll stick with my 1 click solution.
Then you do that, cause fast reboot doesn't work for me n my app icons

Hi Everyone,
I have searched the forum for possible solution to my issue, but I am not able to find anything that is relevant or something that I am willing to do.
What I am trying to do is to delete a blank homescreen on TouchWiz.
My set up is:
1. Samsung Galaxy S3 - International (Philippines)
2. I installed the Sept 9, 2012 leak via Odin without clearing my phone. I just have it installed as instructed.
3. It was working fine, until I mindlessly went to recovery mode and wiped my phone data - reset.
4. I have to reinstall all apps.
5. When I was happy with my four homescreen setup, I was trying to delete the extra home screen that I dont need or want.
6. Drag the empty homescreen to trash, and boom. It crashes.
I have done the following:
1. I have cleared the cache of touchwiz, and I did my home screens again. Still not able to delete the extra home screens.
2. I have wiped my phone for the second time, this time settings > back up and reset > factory data reset
3. Reinstalled all my apps again
4. Did my homescreen thing, and was able to delete the extra home screen. Yay!
5. I was trying to call, but instead of pressing the call button from the bottom row, it moved it to NEW homescreen. I moved it back to where it was, and now I'm stuck again with a fifth unnecessary homescreen.
6. When I try to delete the extra homescreen, the trash will not turn red, and will just crash.
I don't want to reset my phone again. I have cleared the cache of the homescreen several times (settings > application manager > all > TouchWiz home > Clear data).
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, or was already addressed, but I am unable to find the solution as to how I can delete the extra home screen without resetting my phone for the nth time.
Thank you in advanced,
Regards,
~mark
TouchWiz crash JB XXDLI8
same problem here with an austrian SIII.
updated from DLI6 by 1st flashing Easy_Jelly_Base.XXBLG8-XXLH1_Odin.tar as a base
and then updating the I9300XXDLI8-OTA-I9300XXBLG8_BTU_297718496.zip via recovery. (w/o wipe!)
everything works pretty well and speedy except removing empty homescreens results in a crash of the touchwiz.
so i guess it´s "just" a bug and we´ve to wait for DLI9.
regards,
George

Not 100% sure on a solution to this, but you could try fixing permissions, as well as wiping your delvic cache and cache in recovery.
Alternatively you could also use APEX or NOVA Launcher as a substitute to Touchwiz...
Try flashing modded touchwiz launcher from themes and app section. It works flawlessly

Just to add to this, I've got the 'out of box' jb on my Vodafone UK Samsung galaxy s3.
It's not been rooted, just has the stock touchwiz. Same thing happens for me since the jb update.
Looks like it's possibly a touchwiz bug.

Solution to this has been found, in developer settings you have to enable the animation scale. Even setting it to 0,5 speed is OK.
Technically it's not a solution since it will happen if animations are turned off, but it's an easy and good workaround.
It worked for me
Thanks, it worked for me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Works! Another note: Just enable the animator duration scale to 0.5 and it works! you can set the others to off.

Man, this is the only option that worked for me. Tried other websites suggestion such as clear touchwiz cache (which is a bit of a bugger because it will erase all of your settings) remove battery, animation to 10, and developer options off. The only option that worked for me is animation setting to .5x.
Thanks everyone.:good:
Changes for 1.1.1:
-Fix issues with being unable to reconnect after a disconnect -- no more needing to reboot after a disconnect
-Fix issue where the check box needed to connect to another device would not show up sometimes
-Fixed a blank toast message that was trying to report a disconnect, now shows a proper error message
-Updated boot logo to one with the teamwin text
1.1.1 is currently only being released as a patch to apply on top of an existing 1.0.0 install.
If you are already running 1.0.0, simply install the update zip. No wiping is needed for the update.
If you don't have my ROM installed right now, you will need to factory reset, install both the 1.0.0 zip followed by the 1.1.1 zip.
There is only one update zip for all models.
We need someone who has a 1GB/8GB/2100MHz model to contact us and supply a boot image from this model of device so that we can offer a properly working boot.img.

What this ROM does not have:
-Gestures for back and menu do not work out of he box (there's an Xposed module that you can install to enable them that is free in the Play Store or another app that does not need Xposed documented further down in this post)
-Status bar does not hide itself
-Home + Power does not take a screenshot (Xposed can add screenshot options to the power menu)
-No companion mode that lets you receive calls, texts -- use SWApp Link free in the Play Store for this
-AGPS assistance data doesn't download by default. Use GPS Status and Toolbox to download it instead. GPS is confirmed working.
-Camera is rotated 90 degrees
-If you open the camera app and press the button to use the non-existant front facing camera, the app will FC. You will have to clear app data on the camera app to use the camera again.
-Many APNs are not included. You might have to add yours manually. This is a tethering ROM, not intended to be used with a SIM card.
-Some of the numbers on the stock dialer are not accessible - may be able to fix this with xposed and change the app's dpi.
What this ROM does have that stock Omate does not:
-Fully working native Bluetooth tethering to your phone including push notifications
-Fully working settings app including the ability to delete and change account settings
-Already has EnSec and build prop tweaks
-SuperSU
This is built using some MTK 6572 source for a different device. As such some things will be a lot different and that is the reason that items like the gestures for back and menu do not work.
You do not have to start with a stock ROM. This ROM will completely replace your existing system and boot/kernel.
Download the correct zip for your device. If you don't see your model listed, contact us and DO NOT install:
Mirror 1
Mirror 2
Install TWRP if you haven't and make a backup of your existing System, Data, and Boot
Factory reset
Install zip and reboot. First boot will take longer than usual
On first boot you will see the Welcome screen. Tap in the 4 corners of the app itself (not including the status bar) in a clockwise fashion (see here).
On your phone, turn on Bluetooth, enable Bluetooth tethering, and make your phone visible for pairing
On the watch, open settings. If you don't have a SIM card in the watch, go to more and check the box for airplane mode.
Turn on Bluetooth, find and pair with your phone.
Click on the Settings icon to the right of your phone's name (this is on the watch) Tap on Internet access.
Enjoy!
You will probably want to install Xposed:
You'll probably want to download All in one gestures from the Play Store.
Open Xposed Installer in app drawer, tap on Frameworks. Tap Install/Update. Grant root rights.
Still in Xposed, hit Ok after the install is done. Press the back button (icon in the upper left will also go back). Click on Modules. Check the box for GravityBox and All in one gestures (and probably any other modules).
Still in Xposed, hit back, Frameworks. Scroll down and reboot. Click Okay.
After reboot, open app drawer and find GravityBox, scroll down to Power tweaks. Check the top box for Advanced reboot menu and the box for Screenshot.
Open the All in one gestures app. Tap on the Swipe tab. Enable it. Scroll down to Left Area and tap on it. Choose Menu. Scroll down and tap on Right Area and choose Back.
Click on the All in one gestures icon in the upper left to slide open the menu. Tap on Transparency & Color. Slide the second slider all the way to the left to get rid of the glowing icons on the left and right.
You now have screen shot capability and have restored the stock gestures.
Press and hold power. Press Reboot. Press Reboot. Press OK.
Other recommended apps:
PNF or Push Notifications Fixer - You can use this app to change the frequency that the watch pings Google. When your phone changes connections (e.g. mobile network to Wi-Fi) the framework notifies all apps including apps like Hangouts that the connection has changed so that those apps can reconnect and get push notifications. Unfortunately your phone will not tell your watch when connections change. This app will help you start getting push notifications sooner after a connection change.
GMD Gesture Control - The free version can add a back button gesture. You'll have to buy the paid version to get the menu gesture back.
If you install Xposed framework, you can install this free module called All in one gestures and tweak it to enable gestures for the back and menu buttons.
Notes:
Bluetooth tethering had to be slowed down quite a bit to prevent the driver from crashing. We've slowed it down by setting the tcp buffer sizes really low. You can change the values of net.tcp.buffersize.bt to tweak it if you like. The crash seems to be kernel level or maybe even chip / hardware level.
Bluetooth on MTK is somewhat unstable. If it disconnects due to a driver crash, you may have to reboot the device to get Bluetooth working again. With version 1.1.1, you can probably just reconnect without having to reboot.
I am very busy. I probably won't have time to provide much support for this ROM. I don't owe you anything. If you don't like this ROM, I'll refund your full purchase price of free.

Thanks but after installing goomanager. It says denied supers request. How do I fix that? How do u boot in recovery mode if my power button isn't doing anything when I press it? When I want to back up of my system is that done via goomanager or supersu?

First thing I did was install myglass app and try and connect it to glass and it still crashes. Oh well hopefully we are going to get something good out of the source release. Thanks Dee's for all you do.
Sigh.... after reading this I got up to install the patch. The watch slipped off my wrist and fell on the floor. The metal clamp came off but I was able to put it back on then found out the power button wasn't working. I don't know if it was the result of the fall but while I was looking at supersu I might have hit on something and the watch rebooted then got stuck until the battery drained out. Is it possible that the power button was disabled?
WOW, so I get mt watches on a Thursday and the best ROM yet comes out on Friday? I couldn't be more excited .. Awesome!
Not that I wont be installing this , just a quick question.. @Dees_Troy what version on the standard android mail client is included in this rom? I havent been able to get my watch logged into exchange. this is a big deal for me as I need to calendar to sync my appointments. Email and contacts from exchange on my watch are not that big a deal for me but the appointments are. Thanks and looking forward to checking out your efforts..
I use gravitybox to enable the navigation bar @60% on stock rom, but can't get it enabled with this rom. is it completely pulled from the framework or is there some other trick to enable the navbar?
Installation aborted
While attempting to install this ROM, I keep receiving the 'Installation aborted' message in recovery. I'm running Loki's setup on my 1/8/1900mhz Omate. Also, when I plug my watch in to my laptop with USB debugging mode on I cannot execute any adb command prompts.
I don't know if the two are related...but I'm sure it is something I screwed up.
Any thoughts?
After install I am having apn issues. On Loki's operative I can get H+ data but only Edge with this. Any suggestions? GoPhone APN settings are correct and have also tried the Att one too.
Everything else seems great so far. Testing BT with Glass next. Will update the post afterwards.
edit#1- I can successfully pair Glass as a headset and also bluetooth tether data. MyGlass does not force close but will not connect when it sees the device.
edit#2- APN settings are borked for HSPA+....

I've been using nova launcher for months and finally uninstalled the stock S launcher. Today, I went to put my phone into ultra power saving mode and now I cannot exit it. If I get a notification, I can switch to that app and get into system settings, but I cannot exit ultra power saving mode. Without a notification, I can't even turn the screen off. The home button does nothing (no launcher) and the UPSM toggle is missing from the notification window.
So, my question is- does anyone have the stock APK for the Samsung launcher -OR- know an ADB command or some other way to get out of UPSM?
You didn't say whether you looked at the full quick settings palette or just the selected tiles subset? You should find the power saving tile on the full palette. Also does the phone exit UPSM when you fully charge the phone battery?
If that doesn't work, then just download the firmware for your phone and you can extract the stock launcher with winrar.

There are no settings tiles. After I get a notification, I can pull down the notification screen (not before) and hit the gear to get the settings page. In there, there's only wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, mobile networks, location, sound, and brightness. There's no way to get rid of UPSM.
Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.
Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?

Fully charging it didn't work. Fully discharging it didn't work. Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work.
Can you provide a link to the file in question? I'm not entirely clear on your terminology. I thought the firmware was just for the radio and such while the rom had the program files?

Have you rebooted? Usually does it for me.
I tried taking the battery out, restoring my SYSTEM backup from a few months ago, upgrading to a newer version of the stock rom, and nothing works.
Everything I've tried ends up with the phone going back into UPSM with no way to leave it.

If you are using TWRP there is a file manager under advanced. Use that to navigate to the /system/app directory and rename "Emergency" apk to have .back appended to the end after the .apk. This will "hide" it from the system and should disable it. Btw the name of the apk has Emergency in it i don't recall the exact name of it though.

No we can't. And the reason that we can't is that you didn't provide any details about your phone. The firmware is different for every model of S5 and carrier. We don't know if you have a 900T, 900F, 900A or some other S5 version. We can't see your phone and can do little unless you provide extensive details.
Simply go to a firmware site like sammobile, click on firmware and enter the model number of your phone. Or do a search of this forum. Then use the Odin program to write that firmware (factory software) to your phone.

I'm having the same issue on a Verizon S5. Under /system in twrp I don't see anything. Tried chmod but didn't help. Any suggestions?
Apps Drawer
Same thing happened to me. Mine was stuck in between normal and Ultra. I was able to go to my apps drawer, clicked on the gear/settings, found Power then disabled Ultra Power Saving mode there.
I had same issue and I SOLVED it.
No disable option in the notification drawer. Gear 'setting' option (in the notification drawer) only display few setting options (no disable ultra saving mode).
I solve the issue by holding down the HOME button to trigger Google NOW app. In the search bar of Google NOW app, I clicked the microphone button and said "OPEN SETTINGS". This will open the full version of setting window. If you scroll down, you will see the 'POWER SAVING MODE', click it and you will see the disable "ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE" option.
It's a unusual way but it worked.
I also faced the same issue while running Action Launcher 3. Google Now wasn't working for me, so the way I solved it is:
- press and hold the menu button (capacitive button on the left) and select "Manage Apps"
- from the three dots on the top right corner select "Reset app preferences"
- reboot
- pressing the home button showed up "TouchWiz Home", which then allowed me to select "Disable Ultra Power Savings mode"
-done
HTH
I have they same problem with S5 LTE+ on Android 4.4.4. (I hate this ****ing bad Samsung Software!!!!) The above two posts unfortunatly don't work for me because Google Now is not working and Home Button does nothing.
I will try to launch settings due adb if I find a PC to do this (Unfortunatly I'm on holiday at the moment)
Were you able to figure this out? Facing the same issue on my friends phone. Can't believe Samsung would takeover the phone like this.

Best I remember, it had something to do with disabling the stock launcher and I ended up reflashing.
thug_life_inc brought me to my personal solution. I had the problem with the Google Now Launcher. And there is the possibility to go to the app info by placing an app on the home screen, but not dropping it there, but above it (you know the area where you can access app info / delete the app).
That brought me to the settings page for the google app where i could delete the standard launching options.
I had very low battery (maybe 3 or 2%) and then i activated the ultra power saving mode. After a while, the phone battery died, so I recharged it. The problem now is that I got stucked in UPSM. Everything is black and white, I have no acces at any of my apps and the settings is incomplete, I mean I don`t find the "disable UPSM" function. I also cannot factory reset the phone, same reason, I only have acces to wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, brightness and location.
Thank you!!!!

Thank you! It worked for me!
I tried multiple methods include using microphone to trigger Google Now but still nothing in Settings. The idea is trigger the Launcher Picker. here are some notes
Wish I new this sooner, wasted a whole day figuring it out. This fix is way easier
The easy fix - just open the app drawer, drag the google app to app info and drop, clear defaults , when prompted choose you service providers origional default launcher

That is not possible .. in UPSM there is no app drawer or any apps settings.
all of you on chinese variants of Find X, can now upgrade to new colorOS 5.2 simply by installing Beta App below , follow on screen steps and after that: go to normal upgrade method from Settins. You will have new OTA ready to download
Not applicable for Global and European variants CPH1871 / 75 .
LINK
After that you'll get a developer mode WITHOUT that annoying red banner in top notifications. You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade), but NO Icons in Top. Fastboot unlock is still not possible. There is a higher Battery drain.
Btw: looks like, you CAN'T downgrade to official firmware yourself. So please TAKE CARE.

Downloading now...
Still no notifications when the screen is off. Just a sound.
Smartthings\Hue\Yi Home\Google Home\ HotUKdeals\Whatsapp\Blue mail\WearOS apps no notifications
And I get no notifications from my phone to my android TV via the app Notifications For Android TV
Think I may sell this phone and move on.

"You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade)"
Wish I got that
Is it correct that this information can not be returned to the official firmware?
After messing around for some time. I get notifications from most app when the screen is on.
But when the lock screen(blank black) starts, I get no notifications what so ever. Just sounds.
Anyway to fix this?
What's new in colorOS 5.2?
I get no notification issues and I use this china variant on color os5.1, for notifications ( FOR ALL apps, allow ALL PERMISSIONS, go to power management app and disable ALL power saving features for said apps as well as allowing all permissions from "power management" and this works for me even with screen off i get my notifications with the edge notification light
Most of my apps are now working as should(smartthings won't give notifications).
I went on to the beta and then I reset everything, and all has been great.

Yes it is. I've tried to make downgrade and doesn't work. The recovery says that the version that I've installed is newer than the latest official and abort the flash process. Fortunately the beta works pretty good but keep it in mind.
As supposed...latest ColorOS 5.2 arrived, and sadly nothing interesting
Does this allow for more "locked" apps or at least do away with the need for locking apps?

Nope. Still only five apps.

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)
- I now also have some sort of flyout thing on the right side containing "Quick Access" apps. I never had this before. This is controlled from: Settings > Smart & Convenient > Smart Sidebar
- A new app inside of Accessibility permissions showed up called "Baidu IME for OPPO", but I'm pretty sure this was stock and I had just removed it right when I got the phone
- I'm also able to swipe notifications to the right to dismiss!

So you still have the continous weird flashing statusbar? (You use accesability, right?) Or is that gone after reboot?

Still have it unfortunately And yes, I'm using accessibility. Beta DOES get rid of the yellow bar if you only have Developer Mode enabled.
I've gone through one entire reinstall because I removed some pretty necessary stuff without pulling the APK's first. Now I'm an expert at backups of both individual APK's and the entire system through ADB hahaha.
I'm working on a guide to "westernize" or "un-colorOS"ing this phone and will be aggressively deleting apks to try and get rid of the yellow bar.
I did find that they have
Code:
com.android.systemui.PLUGINS
and that gets spawned from a ColorOS apk but I can't seem to remove the plugin. I have a hunch that's where it lives, since the orange bar groups everything under the "System UI" grouping.
Will keep you all updated!
EDIT: Oh! I was also able to create a +1 phone number account through oppo id services and use that to restore back to stock Beta after I screwed up the phone without backing anything up this first time. So I wouldn't be too scared of doing this upgrade. You can at least restore back to beta.
Had a little update.
Don't know what oppo added but great see updates coming
