Just a bug notice:

Google play music and the pattern lockscreen (haven't tried others) don't play along too well, when music is playing and the screen is locked there should be music control buttons at the top of the screen, but the time and date cover this and break the buttons, just thought I'd give you a heads up :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pepsyone:
Version 4.1 is at when?thanks great friend
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Ok...im back :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] malavan:
nice to se you back we missed you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aerobomb:
welcome back and we are hoping for a new JB version ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kowy3:
Great!

Alliance V4 is the best ROM what I ever tried. Many Thanks Goldie!

*That will be awesome if you can make this for JellyBean.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
No jellybean until jellybean samsung base...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k4bbe:
There's a couple of new 4.0.4 bases floating around.... ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Ive not seen anything that gives any benefit over lpx. Theyre just regional updates
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k4bbe:
I agree... I checked out XWLPY, and ran straight back! Nothing for me there. But I guess what I really wanted to say was... Goldie, Wassup with the BB10 lock screen?! I know you are sitting on it... But that would have been out of line. So I took the politicians approach. Lol

Give us something dude... We are all clucking :cool:

I was always missing the Galaxy S3 icons with S3 theme so i want to share this with you.

Flash after S3 theme, clean dalvik and cache just in case.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] slimlo:
this would be a nice addition feature "New Gallery Note Working S2 " along side with 3d gallery .. :;) seems a couple ppl ported this already to this rom but dunno the outcome of how stable it is...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SteveMurphy:
Let me say this: I'm a severe flashaholic, but this is now the 7th week I've been on Alliance and all is well - a true testament to the stability and overall quality of this rom.

Hope everyone here has a good weekend!

4.1 :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] volkansa:
I've tested almost all of Rom in this forum which are produced for SGSII and I can clearly say that this is the best rom I've ever tested and used. Thanks a lot for this great performance. I use this rom since three weeks, and I've never see any problem until now. I just wonder to see what will we have with new release of this rom. This is curiosity only because I don't have any problem with this current release. I can use this rom until my phone is gone :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:

[Q] Install

So...

I can't just install this via CWM recovery?? :fingers-crossed:

I have to install Rom Customizer & register @ AllianceRom site - to see what 'THIS' is... via error link in OP :silly:

T.I.A
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr. Corny:
Was, so many beautiful customizations for lock screen. Very good work :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] geekynoob:
i ma hearing it for the First tym mate...

can you please write clearly what is happening at your side?? i hv used this rom alott and its installation is Butter Smooth..

CWM>Factory Rest/Wipe Data>Wipe Cache>Wipe Dalvik Cache>Mounts Storage>Format System>Format Data>Mount System>Install zip..>Reboot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ronhoover88:
Everyone misses the mount data part
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King_Rat:
Can I install this via CWM recovery?? i.e. the way I'd install any other rom ^^

-=or=- do I have to install Rom Customizer + the 'THIS' in the OP... unfortunately the link for 'THIS' in OP, under how to install leads to AllianceRom site with the error 'You must be logged-in to do that'
[Galaxy S II Android Development] johnfranz29:
Yes you can install via cwm...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] geekynoob:
cwm mate... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alexkno:
You can also install via cwm, but wipe data before and mount data.

With rom customizer its better because you can choose to flash Samsung apps etc or not

sent via Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King_Rat:
Q: Why the extra steps?? i.e. Mounts Storage>Format System>Format Data>Mount System....

Is this a stitch up to get me to format my internal SD?? :p

If I do the following (which I normally do) ^^ factory reset>>>cache wipe>>>dalvik cache wipe>>>install zip>>>factory reset>>>cache wipe>>>dalvik cache :good: what would happen?? :eek:

Might try the app & see what happens :fingers-crossed:

Edit:

Update = can't use Rom Customizer from within current rom :boohoo:

Guess I'll have to use CWM... having never done those extra steps before - I was a little bit anxious :chortle: but it all seems above board :gulp:

Do these extra steps prevent me from easily reverting to a prior nandroid??

T.I,A
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Its just a clean install. 3 wipes should be ok. Mount data was due to a script issue in v3. Should be fixed now but mounting data wont do any harm :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kisssin:
hi...there will be a new update soon rite?i read that op said he will release v 4.1 soon...so if it is true then i will wait to flash this rom...

thank u in advance

cheers!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King_Rat:
Will give it a whirl soon ;)

report back later w/ my impressions :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] salvo_94:
alliance v5????
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
No new base so 4.1 not 5 ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rush25:
Alliance 4.1 will be aosp themed?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
As usual yes
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ap0calipsis:
When will it be more or less? I love this Rom.

Thanks for a great job :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Well...its kinda up to you. Ive added the extra 4 lockscreens and some smoothness tweaks from Robbies note rom and obviously the fixes etc from update 1.

I could start trying to add more stuff from aokp but that will take time. I might add google now and note gallery if i can get lock wallpaper ok and maybe some of the motion stuff from note jb like rotate for camera from lockscreen. I also gotta update s3 theme for the new locks or it will loop.

So....it depends what you guys want...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k4bbe:
I've been on your case for the BB10 lockscreen as I'm sure you know :cool:

But I say give us what you can when can. It's appreciated.

Perhaps a drip feed of the new stuff so that we can enjoy the awesomeness of the individual mods?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] plotinus:
Goldie can you add an option to link volume and notification volumen on next build? Sorry for keep asking this but I haven't found a solution!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] slimlo:
looking forward to new updates.. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rush25:
Goldie if you can keep this rom stock themed it would ve really helpful for making themes and maybe an aosp skin could be added later via ota
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
No. The s3 theme is there for people who like stock look and we already have blue,green,gold,red and black and white themes.

What difference does leaving it stock make. Any themer should be able to revert to stock if they want anyway
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mr. Corny:
Feature wise, this ROM is perfect for me. I really don't need any more customizations, colors, themes etc... it already looks awesome. It would be nice to see smoothness tweaks if possible. While we all are waiting for JB to be published, maybe it would be good for you to have some rest and gather strength for JB tweaking :p I really hope it will be as good as that leaked video shows.

My 2 cents,
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alexkno:
for me, lockscreens do not matter, as I use pattern unlock for not to let everybody here in the office look into my phone as it's lying there all day.

My favorites would be a 100% battery (displaying only the number is too small on 182dpi) and center clock plus (if feasable) hold back to kill.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King_Rat:
Findings ^^

Had a wee look @ AllianceRom today...

- Look/feels pretty solid :good:

Needs:

- to get the most out of ripple lock screen, rom definitely needs transparent status bar... the black just ruins it (is trans-stat-bar available via a theme??)

- more Options under Alliance Settings... the cupboard looked a little bare re, this :confused: (guessing a lot of tweaks are available via OTA - feel these are better baked into rom)

- no OC/UC options that I could find i.e. a performance type menu

- main settings menu is spaced out too far... options are so far apart >>>>>>>> spacing between them - found this really weird :eek:

- only tried touchwiz launcher... it was laggy (NB, fresh install w/o any tweaks or mods applied) - although system scrolling was laggy also :(

a nice rom with a lot of potential :D

Keep up the good work Goldie ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Well...

There will never be oc settings as the aim is stability. ;)

You have to remember this is not aokp or cm. Neither do I drop in aokp systemui or other files. At alliance we dont just "bake" (or zip) existing mods collected from xda. All settings are done in smali by me when I have time. If comparing to aokp then yes there is less settings as I dont have the luxury of coding in java. The trade off is the stability of a samsung base as im sure the users would vouch for.

Jkay has more settings but then you gotta pay for his app.

Back in the old s1 days the vast majority of roms were samsung based. Now theyre all aokp/aosp with little to no difference to the next in line. The aim of alliance is to not jump on this bandwagon.

Thanks for your report :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alexkno:
well said and I fully support this approach!

Me, I also used AOKP for quiet a while and loved all the customisations that could be made. But a lot of drawbacks and instability made me come back! Love v4!!!!

BTW: Goldie, miss all your nice work on my GTAB 10.1, unfortunatly development for this device is much behind to what is done on SGS2, S1 or Note...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pac213:
Maybe you can make another rom without samsung bloatwares in it? I think that would be great.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
No need!!

Our rom customizer app lets you add/remove what you like. Thats kinda the point. What one person doesnt want, someone else does. This way everyone is happy.

Plus with the app you can specify not to install samsung apps on install of the rom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] alexkno:
there are a lot of scripts which could be used and adapted to your needs which let you easily move selected bloatware from /system to a folder on sdcard.

That way you can get rid of the apps you don't need. For many of us only a handful of bloatware is to be removed (for me e.g email, face unlock and the hubs), others don't want any others use them all. So either a script may help or 2 minutes by removing (and at the same time backing them up) using rom customizer allows everybody to adapt the ROM to anybody's needs.

From my point of view Goldie's approach allows maximum flexibilty
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pac213:
How can I do that? with the rom install, how can i remove samsung apps via ROM customizer?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Just go to "Manage System Apps". Select and press uninstall. If you change your mind do the same but on install tab. The uninstalled apps will appear there
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SteveMurphy:
AND it's a quicker method to delete unwanted apps, as it allows for batch removal. Tibu (the free version) only lets you delete one at a time.

If only people would look through the rom thoroughly before asking for specific features, they may find what they want is already included!

Hello! I wonder if you could modify contacts.apk lowering the dpi to 190. Since I use the dpi at that size and S3 theme, the dialer is not in place. Thanks for the work :)

Sir use 190 dpi dialer from theme and apps thread.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tarekboukaf:
hi, where can i find ' alliance rom settings' bcz i have a theme to use, but when install it, most of the stuffs of allance settings are gone!

i know there is a s3 theme update! but i tired it many times, each time jsut before rebooting it tells me tht instalation faild! so i have used other mods from here and there, i've changed the looking of this rom, with s3 icons, and dialer! But under ' General Settings' the theme is really grrr!

So, if someone can tell me where i find the ' alliance rom settings ' to install it after tht i apply the S3 theme tht i have, tht would be nice

! and sorrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
It wont work like that. The settings app just changes the database. The actual mods are in framework-res etc which you are going to replace with your theme.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] vishal11in:
I have been using this rom for couple of day and all seems to be good except memory (Ram) consumption increases and forces the phone to restart if fail to keep checking and clearing ram cache.

I guess this needs to be addressed. Please can few members along with developer throw some inputs.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] geekynoob:
i was the person.. ;)

i still stand by what i said.. Least ram hungry rom..and Most battery friendly too..!

wanna bet.. :D

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

remove d bloat mate..any thing any app u dont use.. I mean system apps..

I debloated the rom to such an extent i had only 3 processes running in idle mode.. So use titanium backup and do it.. HELPS.!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vishal11in:
I am sure what i am writing would be confusing to users...

I also agree that the rom is very good and battery consumption seems to be very low when in idle mode especially.

The only problem is i have too many apps running in the background. ( I have disabled the ones i think i dont use) When i check the ram usage using task manager i see it has consumed 580-600 ram and if that time i donot clean the cache, it restarts the phone after sometime to free the some ram.

This is the only problem i have been facing. Though it is not affecting my usage as the phone restarts very fast but still if i can stop the ram consumption it will further increase the performance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Thats not a rom issue. Ive had 0 restarts in the months ive been making this and no one else reported restarts. Sounds to me like you got some memory hungry apps

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spyr0s:
The only RAM related issue i've found so far is TouchwizUX launcher restarting a lot, actually it's not being kept in memory and when you exit SMS app you have to wait some seconds to reload the launcher. I think that services.jar needs patching to avoid often launcher redraws.

Rule of thumb...never run official updates (eg in settings) over top of custom roms, they will not be compatible and they will break everything.

You will need to reflash the rom (probably with wipe) now

[Galaxy S II Android Development] arkerio:
Yes you can flash that kernel

just download that kernel, place it in your internal SD card and

go to recovery and flash it

just like you flashed this ROM :D

framework-res.apk is inside rom zip

extract zip and go to system folder

and somewhere there you will get it ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] k4bbe:
Do as per the post above.

I would say though, proceed with some caution. Simply because there are a lot of options in Dorimanx kernel and seeing as you are unfamiliar with how to flash it to your device in the first place you could cause yourself some issues and few would have any sympathy for you if you do :cool:

Make sure you read the kernel thread beforehand in order to familiarise yourself with it. Stick to default values and only when you have a better understanding of what things do should you start tweaking.
