Rumor has it
that the South Korean phone maker might release the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android
5.0 Lollipop update sometime in December. After we’ve seen Lollipop running on
a Galaxy S5, now an Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware leaked for the Sprint Galaxy
S5 SM-G900P,
The leaked
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop build has been made available by
an XDA-developers forum member and, according to him, “this will not be the OTA
release and may have issues.” Therefore it’s safe to assume that this is just a
test build and that it might not be yet ready for daily usage.
The XDA
member said that he’s tested calls, SMS, and “other functions” and they seem to
work. He also adds that flashing the leaked Android 5.0 Lollipop build on
your Sprint Galaxy S5 will wipe data on your device.
If you
previously flashed ROMs on your Galaxy S5, then you shouldn’t have any
troubles installing this Lollipop build. All you need to do is download the
leaked Android 5.0 Lollipop build from here, extract the
contents on your PC, boot your Sprint S5 in download mode, Open Odin, place the
tar.mdg in the PDA slot, then hit the start button. Your smartphone should
reboot and install the new firmware.
Android 5.0
Lollipop is the most major update Android has seen so far, so expect major
improvements. The new software should arrive with revamped Material Design
interface, multi-user support for phones; lock screen notifications, new
notifications bar and quick settings, new recent menu, improved performance
courtesy of ART (Android Runtime), and more.
