Root CM 12 Beta For VM GS5?

[richking34]

Just got a virgin mobile gs5 and wanted to get rid of touch wiz immediately. So i wanted to know if this rom would work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-android-5-0-t2945538

It will work if you flash the Kltespr build. Everything works perfect on mine. No issues at all.

Towelroot looks pretty simple.

I think the Sprint version in post #2 should work for VM.

MMS send and receive work on it too for VM on CM12 Kltespr?

 

[JonathanWhitey]

Yep. I've only tried google messenger. Not sure about other MMS apps. Should work though.

Will you try stock? tell me if it works on both send and receive, sadly, this was a big issue for the S3, which we had fixes for. So that way i know which way to head with it.

Just tried it. It works but its a bit buggy on stock messaging(takes a while to download and force closes sometimes.) Google messenger would be what I recommend though as its basically the same design. Hangouts is flawless as well in terms of functionality. Hope this helps!

Do you know if there's a full sub thread for VM galaxy S5?

Do you know if there's a full sub thread for VM galaxy S5?

No dedicated full subthread. Posting in the Sprint section is probably good since most all things compatible with sprint are compatible with VM, as they have the same model # and software.

There was this thread (http://androidforums.com/threads/sm-g900p-find-a-link-to-what-you-need-here.850449/page-5) for boost mobile, but also for VM. The OP seems to be not updated anymore but you might get some help there as well. Also good for getting links to backups in case of emergency.

Hope this helped.
