Replacing the boot file
Hello, I am the user of a samsung galaxy exhilerate. I was very excited to find this page so that the CM roms could work again. However I unzip the folder replace the boot file and rezip the folder and upon attempting install the installation is aborted shortly after starting. Is there something I have to do to the file besides rezip it? Sign it or something like that? I have read some tutorials about zipping apk files but nothing on zip files. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Downloaded winRAR which allowed me to open the zip file, replace the boot file and unlike doing this by default in windows the signature was still present, so I am good.
My other question: Why aren't the people posting these nightlies aware of the issue? I'm probably not understanding something about the development process because I am new to it, but I can't figure this out.
Edit: I would also like to report a bug in kitkat 4.4.4 on my samsung galaxy exhilerate. I am using the cyanogen mod nightly from Oct 31, 2014 with the boot file provided in this thread to make it work.
The issue is with bluetooth, when I make calls I only hear some popping noise when iniating the call, no words ever come through and they cannot hear me on the other end either. This worked fine with stock ICS but I have had these issues with 4.4.4 and cyanfox unofficial 4.4.2. While using my phone to make calls in my car through ford SYNC bluetooth works fine when I am called but does not work for outgoing calls, very strange as this is in contrast to it not working at all with my headsets (I have an old headset and a new one purchased last week)
I have found a this information from the android police website:
"For the first few years Android relied on BlueZ, a "protocol stack" originally developed by Qualcomm for the Linux operating system. Despite many limitations and missing features, BlueZ served admirably until Android 4.2 launched with a new stack dubbed Bluedroid, a project built jointly by Google and Broadcom."
My Exhilerate uses a Qualcomm for 4G as illustrated by a sticker on top of the phone (perhaps this hardware vendor is the same for the bluetooth function?) In this case it would stand to reason that moving to a broadcom based software after Android 4.2 could cause some issues for this phone. Is there any way to either use the old pre- android 4.2 software for bluetooth while keeping the other software the same, or better yet is there a workaround to get my phone to work with the broadcom based software?
So I recently got an Exhilarate and want to put a rom on it. I did CM on my previous phone so I'm not entirely new at this, however that one was a stable release.
I'm interested in Carbon for this phone but I'm wondering if there's any outstanding issues? I'd read that in the early days there were issues with the camera and sound. Are these resolved? Any others I should know about? I'd like to know before rooting my phone.
Thanks!

I have had that same crazy Bluetooth issue on every custom ROM on the Exhilarate (JB & Kitkat). I've searched all over the place for a solution and come up empty. It's my only issue besides not having enough internal storage space.

The Exhilarate is a whole new phone with a kitkat ROM. I highly recommend CarbonROM with the Uber kernel (hyperlink in my signature). A strange Bluetooth in-call audio problem as discussed above is the only significant issue; Bluetooth works just fine for all other audio. Note...the July 31st nightly was the last one that will boot properly without replacing the boot.img file.
Camera works fine, however barcode scanning apps will show a black screen but still work.
Speaker volume is a bit low. Headset volume is reasonable.
boot.img
I think the boot.img link is broken. Can you upload the boot.img one more time please.

Don't flash it. You need to delete the "bad" boot.img from the ROM zip file and copy this one into the zip file. Use a compression utility app like ZArchiver to do that. You can find it on the play store.
*sigh*
...how do I flash the boot.img?

NVM! I just saw the answer in this thread I was unwillingly forwarded to.
AND I had to wait to post.
Hi,
i was using Mokee 4.4.4 and since a few weeks I'm using Mokee 5.0.2
It is a rom like CM12 but with some customization, not as many as AOKP but still more than in CM12
It is multilangual and as stable as cm12
It was updated recently : http://www.yirom.com/rom/index/344
did someone already download it ? If yes is it possible to upload it somewhere else like mega ?
Thank you in advance
I'm running the 23/3 version of Mokee 5.02 as of a few hours. So far so good!
Does dual sim works well?
And battery consumption is similar to 4.4.4 RC7?
Did you detected any bugs?
Is it stable enough for a daily device?

I'm using the previous version (1st march) and I used it daily
i don't use 2 sim cards.
I had 1 reboot (not a wished, it was because of a crash) in nearly one month

The previous version dual SIM worked very well. I'll know if the dual SIM will work well for the new version later this week as I will be travelling.
Yes I'm using it for a daily work phone as I rely on it. Thou I have my ultra-stable iPhone 6 as my personal phone/backup :victory:
can someome upload it ?
EDIT: Someone post a mirror in other topic
I used this one : http://www.gamefront.com/files/24894999/MK50.2-nx507j-201503230233-UNOFFICIAL.zip
I think I get more spontaneous reboots with this new version than with the last version. However, it could be due to the memory leak issue all Android Lollipop phones have and isn't fixed until 5.1
Hoping to see Mokee 5.02 upgrade soon to 5.1 and integrate native dual SIM support...
Hello, I like the mokee rom,
If you have the file MK50.2 or more, please post it !

This has been confirmed in several posts on some of the Chinese bbs. Apparently, someone has released a temporary fix; although, I haven't tried it yet. I agree, I'm having the same problem. Additionally, it vibrates for everything. I currently have it set to vibrate only on phone and SMS, yet it does for everything and I cannot find out how to make it stop.

I didn't noticed this kind of error
but I admit this is because of my config => my phone does not vibrate and it is my xiaomi MiBand who vibrate for specific notifications
does anybody have a custom recovery that works with android 5.0 on z7 mini.
I have stock 5.0 installed and wanted to flash the newest mokee. but when i want to make a backup through the old mokee cwm, but it always says "cant mount data".I would thing thats because of the changed partitions.
Anyway, is there any (non-chinese) recovery that i can use with stock 5.0?

Here in the z7 mini rom thread on post 781 (top) is a link to TWRP 2.8.5.0. However, I don't know if the new mokee works after flashing the nubia version of 5.0 because I don't think (someone can correct me) the mokee uses unified storage yet. Can someone verify this?
Thanks, trying TWRP right now.
So anybody knows if i can flash Mokee 5.02 after flashing Offical 5.0 with the new kind of partitions?

I did not tried it right now as i'm still discoverng this android 5 by nubia...
i just tried it 1 min and can already say that I may switch to mokee soon (I'll try the nubia rom 1 week I guess..)
the UI feels slow
I don't like the nubia theme
and beside of that, the French translation f(cuoco92 rom) is partial and canadian only (other timezone, other clock format, other keyboard layout...)
nubia's rom seems more unstable than mokee (from the first comments I read on cuoco92 facebook page)
it is also very BIG (double the size...)
If you are afraid of bricking the phone, you can also use the stupid chinese tool to install again kitkat on the phone, then install again mokee
but i guess (not sure !!!! ) that it should be possible to install mokee without doing this pain in the ass trick :/

No, you cannot. See this thread on the Nubia forum. CM12 and Mokee are still technically considered 4.4 because they do not use the unified storage. You will most likely brick the phone if you attempt to flash it. You have to first use the Nubia updater to go back to at least 1.82, then you can use CM12 or Mokee.
I installed CM 12.1 and Netflix won't work. I searched, and searched and searched the thread about Netflix, but all I see is talk about "Netflix hack version 10." Then I found this post by Lysergic Acid.
It says, "Updated Netflix hack to version 10." I'm confused. When I flashed the ROM, it didn't have Netflix on it. So I downloaded Netflix from the Play Store, and it doesn't work. The video just loads forever. It never plays. I read that other Lollipop ROM's for the GT-i9100 warned that Netflix doesn't work with them. I can't have this ROM if Netflix doesn't work!!! So I was hoping Netflix would work with it. Someone please help and clarify how I can download the "Netflix hack." I just want Netflix to work.
I have no idea what I'm looking for. I tried both of these apk's and neither one works. I just get a black screen when I try to open Netflix (the apk downloaded in the link I just provided), and it hangs there forever. Please... someone tells me where to get a working version of Netflix!

The netflix hack is still included. Probably, it could be android 5.1's fallacy. You can try an alternative method, though. Just install an older version of netflix and check if that works. If it doesn't, then it assures that the error is related to the new android version.
Regards.
"The netflix hack is still included."
Included in what? I don't understand. Included in the ROM? If so, where is it? Why is it not there? Why is there all this talk about a hack version which indicates that others who have CM 12.1 also have Netflix working?
I tried downloading old versions of Netflix and I got the same issue (video forever loads, but never plays). I would have never installed CM 12.1 if I knew I couldn't get Netflix working. WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT A NETFLIX VERSION 10 HACK?! Is Netflix working on their phones installed with CM 12.1? I asked on that thread, but my question was just ignored.
Please help! I *need* Netflix. I give the phone to my 3 year old daughter so she can watch stuff on it. Kodi is too confusing for her to use and navigate through.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if you are flashing the latest lollipop roms, then you have to expect bugs. If netflix is so important I would recommend going back to the last stable rom you used with netflix and keep an eye on the progress on the development. When the issues are fixed you can then flash with confidence. Nobody who expects everything to work should be flashing alpha and beta builds and works in progress
Then the thread lies. Because people there supposedly have Netflix working, I read that BEFORE I FLASHED THE ROM. They made it seem as if Netflix was included in the ROM. It was misleading.
I have written on the thread three times in between a bunch of chatter, and I'm still continuing to be ignored for a simple answer. If the answer is somehow "No, there is no way to have Netflix," then I can be on my merry way and flash Kitkat again. But instead, I get no answer. You would think something like that would be in the FAQ, like all the other Lollipop custom ROM's, but no.

I understand your frustration, but I doubt whether too many people are worried about netflix on an s2. If anyone had similar experiences or had found a way for it to work you would have had a reply. There is no point spamming a thread because you don't get any responses; if I think I can help anyone I will answer, if I cant I don't answer. And for the record no-one is lying, no-one promised it would work. The developer(s) included a hack that they thought would work. They don't rigorously check every feature and fix they include, they rely on us testers to report anything not working and they try their best in their free time to get everything working. As I said in the last post if you expect everthing to work without problems, go to an older trusted build that is no longer in alpha/beta stages and wait for these ones to be developed
Thread closed at OP's request.
I have a Galaxy S5 Sprint (G900P). I bought a used device about 7 months ago. I recently decided to get rid of boring stock rom and flash a custom rom and then I first flashed Ressurrection Remix v5.8.5 Nougat with TWRP but after flashing that, everything worked fine just there was no network. I can't make call or sms. So, I restored back my previous original rom and network worked fine. A day after, I saw that RessurrectionRemix uploaded there new version (v6.0 Oreo 8.1) for my device. I download and flashed it. It didn't had any network issue. I used it for a week but one day morning I see my phone, there was the same problem of network. I tried many articles and youtube videos on google but nothing worked. I again restored my original rom but this original rom had no network. My SIM is fine I checked it on other device and I also exchanged another SIM but again the issue is same.

I don't have this variant but, it looks like you installed the older Remix ROM from the dedicated S5 Sprint area of the forum and it looks like you're not the only one with this issue.
The good news is there's a much newer Remix that's located within the dedicated S5 for Unified Developments and the following thread is the one that's specific to the klte device and variants.
