[Q] current d2lte ROM recommendations?

I followed the CM path through CM 11 on my S3 d2lte, then ran into problems with GPS after a nightly and couldn't resolve the issue. I moved to AICP and loved the ROM, but had more problems there, and now I'm seeing random reboots, plus the ROM seems to have been abandoned, possibly in favor of developing for Android 5.0.
I know this is not a "new" device, and it's been nice overall for almost two years, but I'm wondering if there's a ROM that might help me enjoy and get the most out of the time I have left with it, without constantly fighting with problems. Also, any stable experience with 5.0 builds?

I've tried more than one build on 5.0 myself and the same issue I had with each one, random reboots and issues with calling. I've been told to update to the NE1 modem but I won't go any higher than ML1.
I've ran nearly every rom out there, I've even went with the stable CM official versions and while they ran fine for a good two weeks or so after that the random reboots started happening again, the latest one I'm on is BlissStalk and so far after about almost 2 weeks I've had not one random reboot (knock on wood) and hoping it stays that way. I could suggest an older 4.3 rom which I never seemed to have an reboots on no matter how long I ran the rom. The choice is truly yours in the end

Thanks, ShapesBlue. May try this, esp. if there aren't any other suggestions. BTW, the latest Chrome on Windows doesn't seem to like the Bliss downloads:
Bliss_gapps.4.4.4.zip is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it. (same for the d2lte ROM zip).
Explanation links to this help page.
That's kind of messed up. Wonder what the problem is inside those zip files.

Try downloading it directly to your phone and adding it to the external SD, Windows tends to block .zip files so there is no surprise there

Right. It's easy enough to override, even in Windows; just hadn't seen this in Chrome before.

For Masta's builds you have to update to the latest modem for it to function properly. As for a good stable 4.4.4 rom, I really enjoy dirty unicorn last build. It comes with its on custom kernal & I've never had any issues. I would give it a test & let me know what you think

I flashed DU 4.4.4 7.8 unofficial (latest) last night using TWRP 2.6.3.1, followed instructions, after wiping everything but internal & external SD storage. Since then, no mobile signal, and "no service"/"emergency calls only"; Google Play thinks the phone has "no carrier".
BTW, after the install, also tried to update to latest TWRP (2.8.3.0) following their instructions to make sure that recovery wasn't a problem, but GooManager is full of "can't find recovery for your device"/"404"/"not found" errors. I had to download a separate app to re-flash the new recovery
image file. Anyway, I re-flashed with updated TWRP, still no signal.

Yea goo manager stopped being supported awhile back. They moved onto JRummys version of the same thing. I was going to say you'd have to be on the latest version of twrp but you've already done that. I just refuse to update to the latest modem, I'll be on ML1 forever

Thanks. Does this ZIP pass verification for you on flashing? Just wondering as other versions of the same modem file from xda threads did not (as mentioned earlier), but after disabling verification the ZIP seemed to flash fine. Same for the MF1 firmware files.
I just installed mastamoon's CM 12 build, which is really nice, and I seem to have good mobile with NE1, but problems I've seen on other ROMs are popping up with this one too (can't get GPS to lock, and can't get USB data transfer working). I'm wondering if a bad firmware/modem image is screwing with the phone, and whether there's a modem and/or firmware image ZIP somewhere that passes verification?

Which ROM's were you on that you had issues with GPS and usb transfer?

CM11, AICP, and now this CM12 build.
btw, flashed the latest modem and firmware files on that invisiblek site: both still failed ZIP verification, and both still installed/flashed successfully, but didn't change my GPS or USB situation.

Same for me.

Well, at this point it might be prudent to odin back to stock. I had to do it a couple months ago, had the brilliant idea to encrypt my phone. It took me about 2 hrs to get the phone back to normal. You have to run casual again to unlock, install recovery, install firmware, flash any current ROM.

[Q] Trying to flash custom ROMs on Sprint GS5 (SM-G900p) and FAILING

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

Root has been obtained @ShapesBlue
Nobody has created a ROM for i535PP users yet(the i535 roms run but no wifi/data). And you're correct about having to use safestrap to flash it.If you're comfortable with a bash terminal you can try using one of the various tools found around here to modify the stock rom. If you're not then I'll see what I can do this weekend and try to get something for us i535pp users (after a day or so of testing)

Its cool. Good to see safestrap works on the prepaid version also

I'm not sure what a bash terminal is unless it's the same thing as the terminal emulator. I tried using that rom that's called paulpizz or something like that. I used some other rom to. The paulpizz one always failed to install even after downloading it a third time. The other one i can't remember the name but it installed but wouldn't start at all. It would just go black and bootloop and goes into stock recovery for some reason. I came across the nf5 module when i found that paulpizz rom on the goo server they hosted it on. So i got the module and i figured if i were to flash the module over the i535 rom that it would fix the wifi an data problem but never got an answer because it always failed to start up properly and would just bootloop into stock recovery. Ugh Verizon is making things so difficult with modding lol. As of now I'm just using xposed to get at least some theming in and tweaks. I couldn't get any deodex program to work. Whenever i used the deodex files and pushed them to the system of apps and framework, it would restart and just stick on the Verizon logo. So i had to flash the firmware to fix the problem.

When i was on 4.3 with this phone safestrap worked and i got the wifi and data sim error. Now that i got it replaced I'm running the kernel of July 22 2014. Everyone was saying I'm out of luck but i came across kingroot and got the most recent version and it worked. I have root. Installed safestrap for 4.4 and it runs fine but can't get any custom roms to boot. I only managed to find one 4.4 touchwiz rom unfortunately

If you're going to try flashing an i535 rom and then the i535pp modules let me know how that goes, can't test as I won't be able to do anything till the weekend. If that's the case then there's no need for roms for the pre paid version. Cyanogenmod was also bootable but very buggy.

I'll let you know how it goes and thank you. How is it that you were able to boot CM? From my understanding being that the bootloader is locked and has Knox for extra security to make the unlocking like impossible. But a genius came up with safestrap so we are able to use some custom roms but the down side is that it has to be the same Android OS and has to be a touchwiz based rom. So how are you getting lucky with all this? I love CM and I'd pick CM over any custom rom any day but i gave up an lost hope of ever getting CM because of the locked bootloader

Safestrap 3.75 had support for AOSP roms (wifi/data didn't work for them either) and 4.0 dropped support for that (there is currently no point). Read the thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314

Ok i wasn't using safestrap 4.0. I had 3.75 B05 which i thought was the latest version they had. I'm updated to 4.0 now and about to test the modules on the superlite rom

Update: i have tried the super lite rom using safestrap. The boot animation won't work during start up. When it gets to the welcome screen it freezes. It still does it even without applying the nf5 module. It freezes and will keep popping up that system isn't responding. System just keeps freezing and prompting me to wait or force close. So not sure why my s3 has a problem running it but yours don't

I'm running the stock prepaid rom, not superlightrom, sorry if there's any confusion there.
When I tried out superlightrom (quite some time ago) it appeared to work fine (excluding wifi/data and nagging about no SIM card being inserted, nothing like what you're describing) and I went back to stock.

Oh ok. Well it seems that the prepaid version or the s3 in general is dead. That's unfortunate

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.

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.

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.

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.

Restoring Cell service after installing rom 7.1.1

I was running Mokee 7.1.1 just fine on PB1 firmware... which was probably my first mistake. (not 100% sure) as of now
phone is currently G900V Kltevzw bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, updated bootloader to PL1 w/SS
I'm having issues getting service when I flash a new rom most of them have no service i've messed with APN settings.
I felt I was a pretty competent user, i've come from flashing and rooting back from the original Moto Droid, I'd like to know what i'm doing wrong
as of now my phone is useless :crying: with no service so i reverted to my S4 lol
I'd appreciate any help and guidance to bring service back to my phone on MM or Nougat firmware which i have been running for a month or so

i don't really know how to help you but I have the same same s5 as your and running mookee 7.1.1 and my cell service still works i dont know if its a problem with the latest update and i have not updated to pl1....so maybe that may give a hint.

I ran across this once.. not from 7.1 (forget what I did actually) .. no spc / min / etc.. Odin flashed back to stock, problem fixed itself.. flashing through TWRP wouldn't do it.. after that had to go through the steps of unlocking bl / etc again.. on CID 15

Interesting... I may have to set aside some time to do that. What stock version did you flash? Since I'm on PL1 firmware would you think that make a difference as to what stock youre going to?
I'll have to do some more research as to how I should go about flashing stock then unlocking the BL again. Not sure if I can because of my updated bootloader..

I experienced similar issues with my g900v but mine was with texts being severly delayed and crappy service.. but atleast I still had service. I just finally fixed it this morning by completely flashing back to stock (PB1) and rerooting. I used this guide and started at the very beginning: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/
Follow it and you should have your problems fixed.

Thanks!!! I'll Slowly start doing this after I post this. Hope to have a good outcome.

If you haven't started yet, I found an easier "how to" here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ewbies-guide-to-install-pb1-rom-root-t3481826
It includes all the info from the link I posted yesterday but also includes the steps to update to PF4, which I'm about to do right now. Hopefully the delayed text and crap service problems don't return with updating, if so I will post the outcome.

Thanks for that. Just finished that. Gonna look try installing some custom roms. Ideally im looking to use a Nougat rom, but dont mind the MM at all...
What custom roms are you looking into.

I've already ran a few different roms but haven't really found one I liked enough to stick with. I used Phoenix v15 for a few months then switched to the new 7.1 resurrection remix nougat ROM a few weeks ago. I'll probably go back to nougat unless I start having service issues again. Good luck

I'm still not getting either or one of the two data and cell service. SMS/MMS wont work. Still dont know what is wrong exactly. PF4 updated BL
Not sure if i need to flash a radio or something in odin to get service to work....
