    Verizon S5 SM-G900V: How To Install Custom ROMs?

    When I went to try to install it, it said CyanogenMod wasn't compatible with my device. Then it gave me the option to install it anyways, with a warning that it could cause problems. So I didn't install it. I don't understand how people with Verizon S5s are using it if the website says it's...

    invert the background?

    This is on a rooted S5 with Alliance ROM 4.4.2. Is there any way to invert the background and text without inverting images? Especially in Chrome, but it would be nice for the whole phone. White lettering on a black background is much easier to read. Thanks.

    Bright White Backgrounds

    The problem I've noticed with third-party dialer apps is that they let you type the phone number, but when you hit the phone button to place the call, it opens up the Android dialer with the bright white background. Right back to square zero. Basically, I'm just trying to figure out how to get...

    Bright White Backgrounds

    Is there a way to make apps and other screens with a bright white background have a dark theme instead? It's much easier to read white text lettering on a dark background. For example, the phone dialer is bright white, but I want it dark like the older android versions. I have Alliance ROM...

    Can't Use USB After Installing Alliance ROM

    It was the dumbest thing. Unplugged the USB, plugged it back in and then got it to work, go figure.

    Can't Use USB After Installing Alliance ROM

    After installing Alliance ROM, now when I hook the S5 up to the computer, I get an error in the bottom right saying the device is not recognized and the phone doesn't show up in My Computer in Windows 7. I've tried a few different things, but can't get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks.

    TUTORIAL: Downgrade Samsung Galaxy S5 from 5.0 to 4.4 KitKat

    Tried the download again and this time it got done in like 3-4 hours. The downgrade worked. I went with the oldest version 4.4.2 to make it easier to root. It did get stuck on the "big red" Verizon screen, so had to do the reset. But it worked! Thanks!

    There's three different versions of 4.4.4 on the SamMobile website. Which one should we use? Thanks. Oh, and what's the best version if you wanna root the phone?

    TUTORIAL: Downgrade Samsung Galaxy S5 from 5.0 to 4.4 KitKat

    Is there a quicker way to download Android 4.4.4? The SamMobile website has a screen that gives you two download options: a fast speed that you have to pay for, and a slow speed that only goes at 15 kb/s. The slow speed will take about 2 days to download (2 DAYS, not hours). Any better...
