[Q] WIFI Direct option missing - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running R.D.D.T. ND2 V1.1 and when I try and use the Wifi Direct to share files, the option is not listed. Not sure if it is in the bloat package and I need to flash one of the APK's. But then which one would it be?

It's in the bloat. Wfd

[ROM] SupererSonic v2.0 - Updated 6/16 - Apps2SD!

Note: Please look at changelog at bottom of post. I also posted a known bug list for this version at the bottom. Please read this.
Name: SupererSonic
Description:
Well my first Evo rom is done. It’s nothing special but it has some things none of the other roms out right now have. Basically the idea is that this is a completely working rom with no issues that I have seen (please comment if this is not the case) with some added features. One thing to also note is that I also created update zip files for the removed apps so if I removed something that you want you can easily just download the update and flash it.
Installation Instructions:
Download superersonic-signed.zip at the bottom of these instructions and copy it to the root of your sd card
Boot into recovery. Currently this is only possible by using the evo-recovery scripts created by Toast. If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out my rooting post
Perform a nandroid backup of your device
Perform a full wipe of your device (absolutely necessary. Issues will arise if this is not done)
Select flash zip and flash superersonic-signed.zip and reboot when it’s finished.
Changelog:

Amazon MP3
Customization Setup and Settings Providers (Saves memory)
HTC Field Test and Field Trial apks
GSD (Not sure what it does but it wastes memory and battery and doesn’t hurt to remove)
HTC Mobile Guide
HTC Setup Wizard (Keeps running even after first setup. Just set up your accounts after the rom is running.)
PDF Viewer
HTC Stocks, Stock widget and all stock related apks
HTC Footprints and widget
HTC NaviPanel
HTC Ringtone Trimmer
HTML Viewer (Not necessary for anything)
QuickOffice
All Sprint apps except Visual Voicemail including Sprint Navigation (Google Maps Nav is better), Sprint TV and widget, Sprint NFL, Sprint Nascar and the Sprint Zone app.
Teeter
Sprint Hotspot App
Bugs:
Apps2SD seems to be working fine however the apps I included (Rom Manager, Wifi tether, etc) don't seem to be showing after a flash. I assume this has something to do with apps2sd but am not sure. I am working on this.
Apps2SD Note:
To use apps2sd you must have an ext partition on your sd card. If you don't already just back up all your data (it will be erased), boot into recovery, go to the partition option and partition your card there. This method is from DarkTremor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087) so it also supports swap if you have a swap partition. After you partition your sd card apps2sd will work automatically.

only problems I found so far is.. NO widgets loaded up on first boot.. and when I load the HTC home clock it doesn't get weather.. I tried even loading it manually but no go. next is GPS seems to be on by default, i had to manually disable it..and location services are disabled for "Use Network" Kinda back-words from what stock does
and some apps aren't showing up in the market.. i.e fandango..

The widgets not loading by default was intentional. I always end up deleting everything on the homescreens anyway so I made a clean slate for whatever ya'll want.
The GPS thing is kind of wierd. I'll see about changing that. The clock is also on 24 hour time by default. Forgot to mention that issue.
EDIT: Also for the market, try wiping your dalvik cache. That should fix it.
Looks like everything I wanted to do eventually.
Thanks for this! Downloading now
Is this ROM based off of the stock (1.32.651.1) ROM or the OTA updated (1.32.651.6) ROM?

Good call. If someone does a benchmark of the OTA I will do a bench of this. If not I will try to flash the OTA and then flash back to this. Best benchmark app anyone?

Verizon Build There is 2 versions your Standard build and battery save. Battery save only for Verizon users this helps with battery drain you get with Verizon network over LTE.
Performance tuning is turned on on the battery save mode. So the phone needs time to settle in a bit before it feels 100% in my testing it looks to save around 5% or more over standard build " I am loving the battery save build myself. remember this is based on what I have running results will vary per user"
Fixed battery faster battery drain from 1.29 in standard build and batter save.
Removed .mp4 demo video to save space.
Removed and updated moto camera to the last build. This gives users an option to uninstall update if they like same with my Verizon and some other apps.
Fixed emoji's and updated to newest android from MM.
Non-Verizon fixed APN settings so it will pick up your APN from your sim / network.
Non-Verizon build Faster 3g 2x data. " Remember it can only go as fast as your network gives you" But I did tweak it a bit.
Non-Verizon Build Removed My Verizon and other Verizon apps that got in from 1.2.9.
Non-Verizon users You will not be getting an battery save build. This is due to GSM networks. Plus way to hard for me to test if it will save battery. I do believe the non-Verizon build is already much better on battery on Verizon build. This is due to that you have non of the Verizon apps running.
This change log maybe missing a few things I have done a lot and tested a lot over the past few weeks to get this ver just right.
3/2/2016

@cbalt Has made this very global friendly flashable zip for my ROMS This will give you better support for GSM in the USA and overseas. It will also remove all the Verizon junk for you as you do not need it if your not on Verizon. . @computerfreek274 and @cbalt will offer support for this the best we can. It is hard to give full support if we have no way to test the service provider you have. For best support have your APN's for your service and check that they are in your phone already. Please read below for more info and setup. As always backup your data. And remember we are not responsible for any data loss or if this software somehow kills your phone.
THIS IS NOT FOR VERIZON USERS. This has been tested on 1.2.3a
This is an update to my Removal Script. A few things have changed. First off since this is only for Global users to begin with, I have updated it to also update your Build.Prop, gps.conf, and apns-conf.xml. There are also 4 Different Versions now.
REBOOT AND FLASH AFTER GOING THROUGH THE SETUP WIZARD.
The files without Verizon in their name remove, Notice TTS aka Text To Speech and Velvet in there which is the Google APP aka Google Now. It removes everything I personally do not use. The files with Verizon in their name will be better suited for you if you don't want it slimmed down. In the next day or three I will create the .zips required to reinstall all the stuff removed in both along with a file to only update Build.Prop, gps.conf, and apns-conf.xml.

Full root! Full read write, access to kernel, android pay may work. As an user you will have full root so you can change your own fonts, host, emojis and so much more. Plus this is going to also let users that where stuck on stock 5.1 high and dry unlock and have root also. Think about this if you need to replace your phone it is shipped with 5.1 now this will allow you to unlock it and get back to root.

I was getting my phone ready for the Sunshine release and downloaded it onto my phone. I'm currently running 1.6b pon with xposed baked into the system. When I tried Sunshine it said I must uninstall xposed. Is there a way to do that without wiping data and flashing an older system?

Yes go to my site computerfreek.com and download the none xposed img I made for this.
Or direct link here to download
@djbling I updated OP and my website for more info. When sunshine is released for are phones we will have more info. We may have to flash are bootloader via flashboot when the time comes I will update the OP.
Thanks! Computerfreak. Glad to see your on top of it! That was a real fast reply!

Yeah and the good news is most users are on the .44 kernel so all you have to do is flash the no xposed ver of my img via mofo. Then unlocked via sunshine. Reboot and now you will have full rw root and still be on my img. Re-install xposed framework and your done.
You can then install twrp and do a full system backup via twrp recovery and save a copy of it on your PC too. Then sometime after that I will have all kinds of flashable roms from stock to cm and aosp.
Cm and aosp and nexus will need testing so I can get voice mail working and advanced calling on nexus and aosp roms. As for cm it may need a bit more time and testing.

Now that those of us that were stuck on locked 5.1 have unlocked bootloaders, how do we acquire permanent root? I'm new to the while unlocked bootloader thing.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
Once your bootloader is unlocked, flash the twrp recovery and a rooted image. See the OP
This is exciting stuff! Thanks so much to CF for this thread. I was scrolling through 44 pages of the bootloader unlock thread looking for specifics, but as per usual CF has laid it all out for us here in an efficient and easy to understand post. We are lucky to have him in this community.

Verizon S7E Root Issues Thread (with fixes)

Thread for INITIAL ROOT ISSUES on the Verizon S7E
Let's get a compilation of issues and fixes all in one nice area. Please add your replies below and I will try to include them here when I can.
Most issues can be resolved with the zip file at the bottom of this post
1. WiFi credentials not saving or connecting after reboots:
Perm fix: Download a build prop editor app and edit this field --- ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false
2. Searching for service:
Temp fix: Start a phone call to anybody and it will kickstart your service
Perm fix: Some users have reported that wiping and reinstalling PE1 and re-rooting works, sometimes.

Temp fix: turn off WiFi and it will work temporarily
Perm fix: See ZIP file below!

Anyone have the problem where gmail force closes when you try to open an email?
After using kernel toolkit I have zero issues that includes running xposed modules. . I'm still running pe1
Anyone how to flash that zip with FlashFire sorry noob here never messed with FlashFire before.
For what it's worth, I flashed the phone with the SM-935U firmware I found in one of the AT&T threads, and the only issues I had were the Wi-Fi not saving and the lte iconsl (which don't really bother me all that much), along with the Security log thing and the lag (which are probably going to happen regardless) Phone is super snappy and better than ever once fixing that stuff!

You rooted after flashing the U firmware?
Is it noticeably snappier than rooting with the Verizon firmware? I'm currently running the U firmware without root, and the Verizon firmware with root was unbearably slow.

Yes, I'm running the U firmware rooted. It works well but I still had to do the build prop edit for WiFi and edit the csc for HD calling.
The zip file seems to work for everything except the hotspot. Mine still asks for a subscription.
Can anyone confirm if their hotspot is working?

Creating a flashable zip file to delete and migrate files

I have a GM5 Plus which is an Android One 3rd Generation device. Every month google sends to my device security patches like nexus or pixel devices. I like stock rom with my modifications but I also like to have security updates. So I think about it and said "if I make a flashable zip to delete bloat google apps and add my tweaks or my desired system apps I don't have to do it manualy every month after flashing stock rom again to have security patches". I don't know how to do it and there is not a proper guide for this (I googled a lot!).
Can you please tell me how to do it or send a link to me?
Hi please upload a stock rom flashable zip for GM5 plus!!!Please

Wrong settings app when using verity-disabler

In order to be able to root my Galaxy S8+, after flashing the official ROM, I'm also flashing the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 zip file.
However, after doing so the regional settings of my phone somehow get messed up and I'm being shown new options in the Settings app (namely "T roaming" and "Service provider" containing some kt-specific settings) which should not appear in a DBT ROM - I believe they are from the South Korean base regional settings. When not using the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip, everything looks fine, but that doesn't allow me to use TWRP how I want to.
Does anyone know where this comes from or how I can fix it?
