Not sure if any one posted, but the OTA Lollipop update for S5 is out (at least my Mtn branded one has it) busy downloading it now, just shy of 1 Gig

It's a Lollipop thing..

Hit the Volume rocker (up or down), hit the gear, then / MUTE/VIBRATE/SOUND appears

Backing up phone, factory reset and then update via kies on it's way!

I didn't bother backing up (I'm a rebel like that) Used OTA I didn't lose any settings or data.

My phone was starting to get sluggish.
Lots of stuff left over from removed apps, too much trash etc and I like starting fresh

Day two with no issues and performing better than ever

So far only issues i have is the mute and vibrate shortcut no longer on the power button options.
other then that Battery life is slightly better, phone seems to runs a little faster - and the look of the actual screens just seems more modern

and the look of the actual screens just seems more modern

Just wish they could have given us the option to change color schemes...
The messaging app looks horrible.

I'm currently running Dirty Unicorn on 5.1.1 and it's by far the best non TouchWiz ROM I've ever used on this phone. Bluetooth works, the camera works. My only gripe is a universal one. It's around the fact someone decided it was a good idea to remove the ability to adjust the date/time range on the data usage and battery graphs.

Streaming in Supersport app doesn't work on lollipop. No other major issues since updating. Phone feels a little faster as well.

I miss my s5

 

[hawker]

What would be the best way to root my s5 and stick cyanogenmod on it?
