So I just installed this ROM, and its my first Aroma ROM, and my first install since November (when the KitKat leak was made). I've had a few troubles and questions I was hoping you guys could answer in the spirit of Easter!

1) When I tried to restore messages, contacts, accounts, etc. from Rom Toolbox Pro, after the required reboot, it constantly crashes the com.android.phone, and there is no fix until I wipe data and start fresh again. Is there a fix other than restarting? I'd like to keep my messages, among other things.

2) Trying to open the Alliance Manager (or something named like that) crashes the "manager". (Opened from custom settings). Trying to change the background image for the dropdown also causes a crash for the "Dropdown loader" or something of the sort.

3) Is there multi-window support somewhere in this release? I see "pop-up browser" and the PIE thing which are some awesome features, but I was hoping it'd have multi-window support, but I don't see it anywhere.

4) Happy Easter, by extension, its also my birthday today (woo, 19 haha). Thanks for the help, I appreciate it ^^.

little house icon

I looked all over- and am not sure what to search for on this- apologies if I missed it.

There is a little white house icon, with lines above it in the status bar- just above the signal bars. any idea what this is (or how to make it go away if unnessecary)?

Anyone using the Wireless Tether TrevE Mod on this rom? I like this rom but couldn't get it to install on this. Kept getting application not installed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobreiter:
Guess so. This rom is awesome. Coming from AOSP, great to see a stock base. reception seems improved, and I like some of the TW funkiness (i use nova however).

I definitely prefer the AOSP lockscreen- and saw in another thread it can be ported... Would be even better!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
I have the same issue. It has something to do with the WiFi tether option in AROMA. I got it to successfully work by installing ROM and choosing wifi tether during install. Once booted, delete WiFi tether from apps and install treve's version.

So I noticed you can use the vz hotspot app but you have to use toggle in status bar to turn on. If you do it from settings menu it says you need to activate service

Cyanogen is AOSP I believe.

I'm having a problem with half my friends/family saying they are calling me but the phone does not give me any kind of notification whatsoever. And then it says call cannot be completed at this time. I have 3 bars of signal and I am able to call them but they say they aren't getting my calls also. Texts are fine but calls... I get errors and things over the air when trying to call people. It times out and just stops the call sometimes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingKj52:
Uh, I use CWM Touch Recovery, I did a factory/data reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache, installed modem, wiped all 3 again to be safe, flashed (wiping all again), and here I am.

Also, to question 3, I found the multi-window side bar, is it possible to hold more than 2 (I doubt I'd ever need more, but more just curiosity.)

Thanks for the fast replies!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Then that means you didn't format /system, which you absolutely should do! Also, go into the "mounts and storage" menu and make sure you format sdcard (data/media), but be warned, any pictures or anything else important you have stored on the phone's internal storage will be wiped out when you do that, so back it up first! As far as multi window, I'm sorry but I know absolutely nothing about that as I don't use it at all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hokiealumnus:
I doubt this is ROM-related, but might as well throw it out there. Recently (on b.22 and 23), I had switched from Dolphin to Chrome. Chrome was much better than I remembered from using it a long time ago, but my battery drained really, really fast. I'd go in to look at the battery stats and chrome was the #1 spot.

Switched back to dolphin and battery life is wonderful. No idea if it's just chrome or chrome plus alliance, but in case anyone has a lot of battery drain and uses chrome, try a different browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingKj52:
Hmm.. I think wipe data/factory reset formats /system, or at least I'm pretty sure its one of the things it wipes. As for internal SD Card, I did not know that was required, so I will do that. On a side note, is internal SD card the same as internal storage? I've never understood that, but my phone used to always say there was no space left to install an app even with over 600MB left on "Internal Storage" (out of 12? GB), and I also think there is some straight missing space on my storage as well haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Yes internal SD is internal storage. Make sure to back up your photos and videos to your external SD and anything else on the internal you want to keep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
I thought this had lock screen rotation. Also is there a way to pull a wifi tether app from another rom and put it on here? Preferably one that has the WPA PSK setting for the wifi tether security. 4.3 only has WPA PSK2 and OPEN which does me no good.. And I don't want to buy a new printer.. PR dog lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
For #1 - Haven't used ROM Toolbox to restore (use TB) but if you are coming from an AOSP ROM then you won't be able to restore to this phone storage I don't think (it'll break your phone, as you've found out.) You may restore your Nandroid from that ROM and use Titanium Backup and set in preferences to "Migrate system data" which creates a seperate Messages, Call logs and Accounts backups that can be restored across platforms.

Also, it's better to use the Contacts export/import function to create a vcard to restore across platforms.

For #2 - Better to try these first before erasing your internal sdcard.

From a Goldie post: "Delete alliance folder on internal sd. Then reopen the app and it will recreate the folder structure. Should work then"

Is there a toggel for the hot spot in build 23?

I have not been able to find one, I did find the Mobile Hotspot app, but like the toggel option better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vudugan:
Look under Scripts in Customize Rom for more toggles.

I think that post should be added to the first page. (hint hint):p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingKj52:
Thanks for the amazing reply! I actually did end up deleting an "alliancetweek" folder, but it didn't do anything to help. I have yet to find an "alliancemanager" folder anywhere, but I'll keep looking. Also, thanks for the tip on messages, I'm gonna' go ahead and restore my backup then do that haha. I have Titanium Backup, but I could never get any of them to work because (stupid me just realized) every backup option I tried to use by default backed up to internal storage. Oops. xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LazerDino:
There is no alliancemanager folder. It is simply Alliance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Your welcome!

It shouldn't matter where TiBi is set to backup, internal or external (unless as a matter of procedure you wipe the internal SD card every installation - unlike others here, not something I would recommend except for an extreme last resort.) However, setting to external gives you the added advantage of being able to pull it if the internal card goes bad, or take it to your computer or transfer to another phone, etc

As far as the Alliance Manager folder, I think he's talking about clearing the cache in the Applications Manager. Clearing data and cache there could be all that's needed. Best to backup with TiBi first if you clear data there too just in case.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingKj52:
I see, I'll look for that. Just restored my backup to get my messages, bluetooth+ WiFi settings, etc.

I don't think I ever specifically did, but it always deleted the backups so who knows o.o. And yeah, I think I'll put it on external for now, then upload it to Dropbox/GDrive later. And yeah, hopefully all works well this time around. I gotta drive back to Uni in a few hours, so here's to hoping it works wonderfully this go around :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moeduss:


The folder just says alliance, no manager involved. Remove that one then install the alliance manager and it should work. It did for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KingKj52:
Awesome, thanks ^^. I've actually hit a different issue now, where trying to restore phone data (like messages, etc.) via Titanium Backup Pro (with the migrate option checked) just freezes the restore on that option. I dunno' what I did to break it, but I'm hoping it can be resolved soon haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Sometimes it just seems to take a long time, especially if you have a lot of messages, etc ... I've thought it was hung up before, too, but I just walked away and came back 10 minutes later and it was done. Make sure you're using the "Messages" selection, Call Log, and Accounts (?I don't use this one), with the TB Icon next to them.

Also, I may have seen it just get hung up before but I don't remember. Usually it's a matter of me sitting there watching it and waiting, but it just needs time.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION], Would it be possible to add spell check into the ROM or flashable zip? I found a tut on how to do it but it's beyond me. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27658227&postcount=17

I've had a couple of devs do it on other ROMS and its awesome... not sure why it was ever removed. I'm looking to hop on this ROM as it looks awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I got my phone working again (as far as I can tell.) I'm receiving call notifications as I should be and making calls appears to be functioning properly. All I did was reinstall the modem again... I had flashed it this last time before the Rom and since my phone was acting crazy. So a bit of advice if you have any weird call related issues... I'd flash the modem, rom, modem again, while wiping dalvik/cache between each flash. That should ensure proper function of your phones /main/ purpose, at least from my experience.

Correct. Just delete the 2 folders titled Alliance and alliance-tweak if you are having trouble with Alliance Manager or other Alliance settings. It will remake the appropriate files on relaunching.

Edit-

Anyone using Google now launcher (4.4 kitkat launcher) and having battery drain I would suggest going into Google settings > voice and turning off the voice recognition open mic. Yes that disables the Ok Google function, the main purpose of using the launcher for most people, but I highly recommend it for times you really need to conserve battery. Also running the media scanner disabler helps. Just remember to use the rescan device feature in media players such as Rocket Player etc.

As far as the massive battery drain from my screen I'm to the point of giving up. I've tried using Screen Filter as a brightness app to forcibly lower screen power consumption and it doesn't seem to help enough. Fuuu-

I'm using a 3rd party mms on a different 4.3 touchwiz ROM right now and it works fine. It doesn't just work for sms/mms but anywhere typing is used. You know more about this stuff than I do but I think one should work right? I have found that it works fine with stock and 3rd party mms apps but don't think it's compatible with AOSP at all but haven't tried it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
The problem is Alliance mods are all tied into the 3 different jars. The mms apps are also modded and ported in the jars. Without separate mods something will break. :cool:

TWRP 2.7 Crapout

Oh! I tried to restore a Nandroid of this ROM with TWRP 2.7 and it won't boot after! Catastrophic failure! The first time, a couple of days ago, it would boot into the Samsung Galaxy S III boot anim but not move onto AllianceRom animation, but would reboot into recovery. I had to flash over it to get it back up and running.

Today, in order to test it, I made a new Nandroid and tried to restore it after wiping and it got to the same place but then just went black, and brick. Had to pull the battery to get things alive again.

What a drag! I'm glad I made a CWM backup (uncompressed,) too, at the same time, though I ain't flashed it yet (hope it will work!) Also now looking into Philz which apparently will restore both CWM and TWRP Nandroids.

Just a warning! In the IT biz, a backup ain't a backup until it's tested! I got my TWRP set for compression. Maybe it would work if I didn't? I'll try some of these - I hate to give up TWRP!

EDIT: CWM Nandroid booted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flooritnfly:
If you are on Safestrap, do you have to select the "Choose if you are on Safestrap" kernel when in Aroma flashing this rom? Or will any kernel work and not brick my phone? :confused: When I tried this last night I chose the Safestrap selection and continued with the flash and once booted wifi and mobile hotspot were broken....

Went back to another rom for the time being....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bawaji:
I could not get TWRP v2.7.0.0 to work on my S3. The backup would error out half way. Reverted back to v2.6.3.1 and it worked fine. If you prefer to use TWRP, just use the 2.6.3.1 version and it may work for you too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I am gonna try that. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matthew.fiore:
people are saying v2.7 only works if you enable compression option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah, it's kinda lost in my post (at the top of this page) that I had compression on. First time I haven't been able to rely on TWRP - (much better interface, easier to see, read, more logically organized) though I didn't try it WITHOUT compression... I definitely prefer compression since it saves a lot of space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Haven't had any problem with backup or restore with compression on. Backup may just have become corrupted. It happens. Seen before on all recoveries especially CWM. Can try unchecking partitions and restore one at time and see which is corrupted . May just be boot and unchecking will leave kernel you have now intact. Can also be used if running custom kernel and don't want to reflash kernel on restore. Same with data. :cool:

I don't like the Volume Up Torch control - I've been using my phone without a case lately and it's too easy to turn it on and find it's been on in my pocket! Or turn it on taking it out of my pocket. I really liked the home button long hold to activate the Torch on another ROM - works good!:good:

FWIW, I don't trust TWRP anymore. 2 times I used it and TWRP quit on me, entirely, where I was without a rom and I couldn't even start TWRP again. I had to Odin to push a recovery back on my phone. I use CWMR, i feel like it's more reliable...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I'd like the idea of the rom being cleaned of apps and having the option to pick from all the stock apps from Alliance hub or OTA options. Something in that area. That way you can just update fixes when needed. I don't know how practical or feasible this idea would actually be tho.

Yep you must stick with safestrap methods or break your phone.

No, I'm still running set cpu which is a little outdated. I thought that was the problem but I've had the same problem when using jrummy rom toolbox. The minimum sticks but, I set the max to 1458 and it still wants to run at 1512.

Here is a VERY VERY useful tip if you use ktoonz! Discovered this the other day and been meaning to share. This also speeds up Internet reaction times and saves battery when syncing is taking longer than usual to do its thing.

Go into ktweaker > Extras > TCP Congestion and change cubic to highspeed, or whatever other governor you may want to try.
