I think root will be available relatively soon, though-- a week at the very most, is my guess. The ROM seems to have been in the possession of several developers for a few weeks, since many S5 features have been back ported to some custom S4 Touchwiz ROMs.

Check the 'General' section - root has been found ?

^^^^ This. I was so excited to root mine, but now I dont know what to do after its been done :laugh:
I did gain access to Root Explorer though, which I missed.

The Big Off-Topic Thread

Hello!
I thought I'd make a big general thread for people to say unrelated stuff or whatever. Of course, people can ask questions about ROMs or kernels or whatever.
Let's all try to help each other out here.
Thanks!
Oh I would love it if the mods let this one stay! There's a big and popular General Thread in the S3 section that's remained unlocked because we police ourselves well there ^^

I sure will. I chose the low-cost shipping method, though, and I won't have it until at least 5th of July. I didn't wanna spend 50 euros (70 Aussie dollars) just for shipping.

Just a mild warning on this thread, as with the other off topic threads we will allow it to remain unlocked as long as no major forum rules are broken (ie as Theshawty said, police yourselves). Breaking major forum rules could result in this thread being closed (look at the Galaxy Y off-topic thread and you'll see what I mean).
Thread stuck, have fun guys

Is it just me or is smart pause very finicky? Sometimes it will work while other times it wont. Is there even a way to know if the phone recognizes your face?

Just checked the live Samsung updates page and it seems the Orange-branded Spanish firmware has the highest changelist so far: 779953 and it's an MF4 build. PDA version is lower than the unbranded Spanish release MF5, though.

[Pledge] @Hashcode Samsung Galaxy S5 SafeStrap

Maybe we can get a little pool going for the safe strap @Hashcode to work his magic on the GS5 now that we have root. I myself will pledge $5.
And I already know that's not much but money is tight for me and I will do as much as I can. Plus $5 adds up when you get a bunch of people on board!

He also said it was strange that people were making a bounty for a compatible safe strap. lol. Check his twitter, he's already requested appropriate files from the vzn s5 so I'd say he's working on it.

Geez. I was just getting used to Twitter and now there's Twatter? Sounds dirty. I'm in.
Can we just hold off for a little bit on another round of the pledges and donations? We just got root. Do we really need to purchase every single little mod for this phone? In the past these things... just happened. Just let it happen.

Those that tested touted better battery life and snappier performance over regular CleanROM. All of the background stuff is gone.
Oh I'm taking it for a spin. More than half way downloaded gogo. Battery life isn't much of a concern for me now that I have my drain fixed. I am around a charger most of the time. Performance is what I'm all about

What is sad is how Android has grown. I remember back in the day I could do a 250 Meg ROM (Froyo).

I've recently asked him if he could do that for us G935T users, and he said that he didn't have the phone. If you're be willing to give it to him and him to work on it, we would appreciate it so much!

Ha! That makes two of us! Yes, I contacted a rep from XDA and was given the choice of taking one now, and have to return it later, or wait for the replacements to come in and take one then. I'm going to wait for a updated one.
I still have the S7E, I'm not giving it to her until the N7 comes in.
So given the unknown of when and/or if the Notes will be available, I asked if I could get another device.
I was offered 2 OnePlus 3s.
Um, yes please.
