Is the camera files only located in system/ app and cameradata?
I'm going to play around madhatter like and attempt to restore the shutter button on the edge panel like it originally should've stayed... I'm using Hyperdrive RLS4 NK3 and RLS7 COK2

Any updates? Would be really interested in this as well
That was all the places I could find it but when I restored camera phone wouldn't boot... I think it might be cause I didn't set the right permissions.
I did successfully retrograde down to kitkat with a kernel and cok2 5.1.1 odin firmware.

Wait I don't understand. Are you saying you were able to get the old camera app? But it wouldn't open?
And you said you were able to retrograde? So you are back on KK? can you link me to the kernel and firmware and or the directions to do this. I am not the only one that might wanna go back to good Old KK

No when I tried to port them over to LP then phone would just freeze up on the first splash boot screen, however I accidentally didn't have the permissions set correctly also.
I'm going to post a tutorial thread in a second... But
You can't Odin to NK3 from MM PE3, you've gotta Odin downgrade to LP COK2 and THEN flash recovery flash the selected KK rom of choice and then whatever KK kernel ya can find that ya like, I've found that LLFK is still active and alive. You might also wanna Odin flash the KK modem too for better GPS location.
Samsung made it or tried to make it irreversible ever since COK2, it's impossible to Odin back down to NK3 KK, so you have to flash a rom, kernel and modem for matching baseband.

Trust me I played around for a day and a half until I discovered it was possible to boot a KK rom off of COK2 and messing with Odin too, just a warning if ya don't flash a kernel you won't have working WiFi at all. Can't even Odin to LP 5.0.1.

Thanks again for the time you put into this. Btw, to answer the camera question it's just not possible?
If that's the case, is there something else you can look into for me?
I am not sure if you use Briefing. Its flipboard but then version that actually uses the edge screen. Anyways, I hate briefing being part of the home screen. It makes easily navigating between windows tough. The way I went around doing this was the Edge panel that was available, until Samsung took it out with MM. Do you know how I could install the 5.1.1 briefing version. I think it would be a similar thing as removing the native camera app.
Directions being I would remove the briefing app, and install the 5.1.1 version. Prblm is I don't know how to do that (removing stock programs and manually installing old one) Whats worse, It seems I'm the only person that cares about this app and how functional it used to be on Edge. It was my quickest way to accessing the news
I think and believe that the only way to get that camera again is if some cloned the app and redeveloped it for higher versions of android... I've got a full video suite of Infinite Skills How to Develop App's for Android, me and my ADHD have just never gotten around to watching it yet. LoL
removing stock app's is easy if ya have root there's a few simple ways of doing it such as ES File Explorer with Root permissions navigating to the root of the rom then going into system, then either apps or priv-apps and just deleting FlipboardBriefing.apk, it's in apps actually... Then you could install a non-edge google play store version, or get tx toolbox and uninstall it or all-in-one toolbox and go to toolbox then uninstall system apps.

General Lollipop Information Thread​
Since many users asking the same questions over and over again i'm going to start with many "basics" answers for you
Why? because you guys won't use the search button :silly:
Can i revert back to kitkat safely?
Yes And No, If you have upgraded the bootloader.
If you have upgraded with Bootloader you might have some IMEI issues, And afaik there is none that has fixed this. Thus who hasn't updated the booloader can still revert back.
I got no baseband or WIFI
Go to More > About Device
Scroll down until you see baseband. if you don't have HOA7 in the end that means you're wifi won't work with stock kernel
Make sure that you always read the OP and if OP hasn't stated it, you need to update your modem and NON-HLOS.bin
Make sure to uncheck auto reboot before flashing!
Battery life is terrible
Yeah ofc you haven't had the rom for more than x days so it hasn't been fully set.
Can i use CF-Auto Root
NO! People who used this also flashed update-su in recovery, however flashing CF-Auto root isn't needed and it will not work due to old binaries.
How can i root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-t3018625
Why does X And Y FC
because you didn't provide logcat.
Why does it takes 2x minutes for it to boot first time?
because samsung made some changes which i can't tell, i've never seen such a slow upgrading screen on lollipop neither on stock versions.

yeah..they are the same but i don t know if modems are diferent. i think you should not flash i9506 on E330s
Spent the last few weeks trying to get a rom with black backgrounds on my I9505 that still has full camera functionality. Installed slimkat which was fine but the camera barely worked at all so decided to go back to stock 4.4.2 which is where my problems started. Upon doing this I got a message saying I might loose root and did I want to fix it, I said yes and from that time on I have never been able to instal another 4.4.2 system. I am however able to instal stock lollipop.
I suspect this is a knox issue and I have tripped the counter but I have no idea what I could try next as the graviton rom (4.4.2) seems to be my best option for a black background rom still with touchwiz camera stuff. I also find every custom recovery I instal gets over ridden back to the stock recovery and Im constantly reinstalling them.
This is truly driving me around the bend, Could someone point me in the right direction on what the problem is please?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The Samsung devices usually have qfuses which get "blown" when updating to the latest firmware. This prevents you from downgrading the firmware to earlier versions. I would suggest you follow this to flash the stock firmware in Odin and start over. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41072377 You'll have to reinstall your custom recovery, however, you should still be able to flash 4.4.2 custom roms.

Thread closed.
I'm new to the whole rooting and flashing scene. However, I'm good at following instructions, generally pretty good at figuring out how to overcome unexpected problems, and a pretty quick study. I've got the hang of rooting my phone down pat, and I can flash stock ROMs with no trouble. Unfortunately though, I have yet to successfully flash a custom ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S 5 (SM-G900P). First, I thought I'd try for CyanogenMod, but the CM installer says that my device is not supported, and refuses to work for me. I know it can be done without the installer, but I have yet to locate the instructions someplace to do it manually.
After giving up on CM for now, I found Alliance ROM for KitKat 4.4.4, which REALLY intrigues me with its high flexibility. What's more, it's KitKat, which I much prefer over Lolipop. Ever since I switched to Lolipop, my apps have all started crashing frequently, even after being updated, and even TouchWiz itself has started crashing frequently. I also don't like the new drop-down menu or the new Recent Apps display. So, I flashed KitKat 4.4.4 kernal and then tried to flash Alliance ROM, but I just got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back to recovery, flashed the stock 4.4.4 image again, and tried to figure out what to do to get Alliance working. I went through the entire Alliance ROM thread here on xda, and found THIS POST describing a method to get Alliance ROM working on a 4.4.4 kernal without having to flash back to 4.4.2. After following those directions, though, I still wound up in a boot loop. Now, when I did that, I wasn't able to use the de-odexed version, and had to use the odexed one instead. After waiting 2 hours to download both versions, I couldn't get the de-odexed one to flash at all. It gave me an error message about no md5 found, or something like that. Unzipping the zip file would have given me a bunch of disconnected folders, so I just tried to flash it from the zip, but it didn't work. The odexed version, however, had an md5 inside the zip, so I just unzipped and flashed the odexed md5. Still got boot loop, though, after I tried to install Alliance ROM afterward.
So, with all that being said, here's what I'm looking for.
Either:
1.) A reliable way to install Alliance ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P)
2.) A different custom ROM that might be better suited to my needs. This is what I'm looking for:
a.) Rooted
b.) debloated
c.) wifi tether and USB tether
d.) KitKat Drop Down and Recent Apps menus
e.) Some badass-looking themes. I really like the look of the Black Glass themes from Alliance, so either THAT or something that looks equally badass
f.) I would like to be able to overclock
g.) want to see CPU usage
h.) battery percent
i.) want to be able to turn off camera shutter sound. (Maybe this can be handled by just installing a different camera app, idk)
j.) Working private mode
k.) fingerprint scanner functionality would be NICE, but not a must. I really only use it for Private mode.
I'm sure there are probably other things that I'd like to see, but those are the ones I can think of right now. So if anyone can tell me how to get Alliance ROM working, or has a suggestion of another custom ROM that would include those features, and that will work with my Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P), and where I can find it, I'm all ears.
Thanks!
So, from what I have read here, and I skimmed most of it, is a bootloader issue. You not only need version specific kernel but bootloader as well. You're issue might be that you have a kit-kat bootloader trying to flash lollipop or vice versa. Your best bet is to Odin the Official stock tar of which ever version of custom rom you want to flash, i.e 4.4.2, 4.4.4, 5.0. Then you can reroot and flash the coinciding custom rom. Does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense. Where do I find the Official stock tar? Also, if I flash back to 4.4.2, then reroot and flash Alliance for 4.4.2, can I upgrade from there to 4.4.4 without having to flash again? Or do I have to flash stock 4.4.4 followed by flashing Alliance for 4.4.4?
4.4.2 and 4.4.4 are both kit-kat, so you can flash either one. Look in Sprint Galaxy s5 Android development for the tar files

Go with 4.4.2, 4.4.4 had such small improvements, you wouldnt even notice. I recommend M.O.A.R. ROM it is the mother of all ROMS. Paired up with ktoons kernal, its amazing!!!
Ok,,,,here is my plight...
about 6 months ago my s5 became unusable due to the fact that concrete and GS5's dont play well together...becoming more and more frustrated having to use an older phone (HTC ONE M7) i went ahead and threw caution to the wind and bought a new LCD digitizer for my GS5 and hoped for the best...
replaced my digitizer and VIOLA !! my phone booted and was exactly the same as it was the day before concrete and LCD collided..
after booting it up went in to check everything and all seems well....root was still good,,,just had to upgrade everything and move on..
my problem is that since it has been a while there have been so many changes as far as updates,,ROMs,,and other techniques i need to find out the steps to take and what would be my best plan of attack..
i am on MOAR v2.2 NE5 and when i installed that back when i first got the phone tripped KNOX,,but i dont think that is too much of a concern at this point...or is it ??
i have read alot of things about going to Lollipop but am not sure if i need to do anything except find a Firmware and flash it with Kies or if ODIN is a better way to go....it would be great if i were able to just jump right to MM but i know the chances of that happening are <0....
any help would be appreciated
thank you in advance
Well the latest version for this phone currently is Marshmallow, and there is a great mm n5 rom that is still a work in progress, but i reccomend downloading the full marshmallow restore tar file and using odin to update, then flash recovery, and then a rom of your choosing (currently the n5 rom or a version of cm13). But to flash a lollipop rom download the OK4 lollipop restore file (last version of lollipop 5.0) and do the same process.
hadn't heard much so i went ahead and downloaded an OK4 firmware and flashed with ODIN....works flawlessly setting up now
surprisingly enough,,,it kept all of my settings from MOAR.....hafta say that i am shocked.....gotta love Android
I posted this in the wrong place before and cant delete it.
Im having issues flashing roms. So far Resurection remix os the only one that worked. Cm13 fails code 7, m.o.a.r. 7.0 fails as aroma is begining to run. Gettin a bit annoyed.
Also, cant find a hotspot fix for og1.
Any thoughts?
Sprint S5 G900p
5.0 stock rom
Og1 build
ive had to re-download MOAR 7.0 a couple of times, i have one copy of it that does the exact same thing (failing when aroma launches) Get a clean download and try it again. Also when going from an AOSP to TW or vice versa, make sure to ALWAYS delete the android folder from both internal and external otherwise youll get TONS of f/c's
Right on.
Any thouggts on why cm13 gives a code 7?
Its the right version for my phone. Code 7 is a failsafe for the wrong phone so it wont install (from what ive read)
Redownloaded moar, checked md5, that was good, same thing no go.
I got hotspot going and i guess stock works well enough. Ill just strip it down and add the goodies that I use alot.
Guess my flashaholicism will have to subside for now.
OG1 might be your issue. Try installing OK4 via Odin, then chainfires root method, then TWRP 3.0.2-2 and go from there, unless youre happy with what you have. It doesnt make any sense for it to fail with a fresh download.
I can try that.
Whats the build order on the s5? I tried updating before root and it stayed at og1.
Stock Official OA6
Stock Official OD3
Stock Official OF6
Stock Official OG1
Stock Official OK4 (5.0)
Stock Official PCA (6.0.1)
copied from here
you can get the OK4 from the link i posted and flash it via Odin. Then youll have to reroot (super easy if you can flash the tar.md5 firmware) and then twrp. 3.0.2-2 is the newest
Thank you. Excellent post.
These are all for sprint, correct?
Cant see links on your link but looked at sammobile and they have pe2 as latest build.
Gonna update and try again.

Thanks!
Im on the road today but will odin this up tomorrow. Hopefully it solves my issue.
Is the s5 like the s3 where we can go up with the basebands but not back?

no. Many people have flashed the pca build then flashed the OK4 and been just fine
Yeah, hotspot fix didnt work on anything beyond ok4, so i went back.
Makes sense. The ok4 baseband has proven itself to still be quite useful

Yeah i see no need to go higher.
ive actually recently installed twrp 3.0.2-2 and the aroma installer on MOAR wont launch for me. It has to be a proclivity of 3.0.2-2. Ive never had this issue with previous builds. I can test this tonight unless you want to test it before i get a chance
Yes please. I can install RR rom (name escapes me, remix something lol), but moar wont go. Same issue, aroma wont start.
resurrection remix. Super popular ROM. pretty awesome too. anyways, it really seems like an aroma issue. ill give 3.0.2-1 a whirl later
It's a 3.0.2-2 issue. 3.0.2-1 launches the aroma installer just fine. It's a quick fix in Odin. Literally seconds to download and not much longer to flash
