Samsung Galaxy S5

[SirFooK'nG]

This is my first Android phone that I'm not particularly interested in Rooting or Modding... All my priors I did, with the exception of my Nexus 5, only rooted it, did not put a custom ROM. I ran Xposed Installer instead and Franco's Kernel only. I think I've become bored with fiddling with phones / Tabs....

List of Phones I have ROM'ed:

1 - HTC Desire
2 - Galaxy Note 1
3 - Galaxy Note 2
4 - Nexus 4
5 - S3
6 - Nexus 5 (Root & Kernel Only)

Tablets, I've done: Acer Iconia, Galaxy Tab 10.1 & Nexus 7.... /moving on

I can't believe that Touchwiz doesn't allow lockscreen widgets. wt actual f?

Would not mind being able to customise it myself a bit more than they allow.

There's almost zero customisation...

Isn't there a Xposed module you can use?

 

[hellfire]

Isn't there a Xposed module you can use?

Yes, with a root.
But this was functionality available with the S3 and the S4. Why on earth is it not available on the S5 (Touchwiz Kitkat)

 

[AstroTurf]

Not that much of an issue as yet.
All i do on it is unlock it.

Having a gear 2 kinda makes most of the options on the screen pointless.

Yes, but then you're stuck wearing that horrible Gear 2

It's a beautiful device

I felt like that with the S4 and only rooted it, but after going from the S4 to the N5 to the S5, I am pining a bit for stock android and reckon I'll put CM onto the S5 when it's out and stable'ish.

I think the best combination I've ever had was my S2 with CM. Just left it like that with the RC for ages.

I shudder when I think how much money I've thrown at smartphones.... Not anymore... Saving for a lekka Holiday in Oz this Christmas!

I'm tempted to go back to an old Nokia 3310 for the hell of it

I used one for years.

Can anyone using the S5 please confirm that switching to GSM will force EDGE/GPRS only and not 3G?

That tablet was a biatch to flash. Took me a while to do mine.

I've done my HTC Sensation, S3, S4 as well. I think I'm addicted to flashing!

Was not too bad, I used Thors Stuff for that.

3G is WCDMA technology, so it's impossible to get 3G on a 2G GSM (GPRS/EDGE) network.

The first 10 people to email **** will have their choice of HD Clear or Antiglare screen protectors for the Galaxy S5. (ad found on tech armor official website)
