I'm starting to think there's just a problem with Alliance Manager at this point. Several people have mentioned it doing that. The theme I made manually and created with Alliance Manager doesn't have a preview either and a few people contacted me for help because it does nothing when you apply custom themes added to the list... I wish I could do more but all I can offer is delete the Alliance and Alliance-tweak folders, relaunch Alliance Manager to recreate the folders, add the themes, and try again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
When I opened the theme up their was nothing in the theme.txt.... Tried that already..

About to dirty flash..Dunt ta dunt ta da.. LOL not yet project will go on sometime tomorrow..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goldie:
How do you think alliance manager ia going to get a preview of your theme? Magic? You have to manually take a screenshot...name it preview and add it to the zip!

Alliance manager does NOT change images in the framework. It loads settings from custom settings and adds dropdown, system and statusbar wallpapers if they exist. You misunderstand what it is for :)

If you have trouble installing things from ota just uninstall rom customizer. Reinstall from playstore. Boot to recovery once then reboot. It will work fine from then on

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
hmm if that were so why show previews of redglass theme blackglass theme and blueglass with framework changes and popup changes in the framework itself?? and when I looked into the zips the previews in the zips change not just some simple backgrounds and color changes but framework, sec. cal, phone backgrounds and framework in general.. I don't think I'm the one confused.. I wasn't trying to use the manager I was trying to use rom manager and the zip fails.. Sorry the OTA downloads are what are actually failing..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goldie:
I told you how to fix that. You are talking about a rom customizer zip which i didnt say didnt flash images. It pushes images into the framework. And it shows a preview. Doing the steps i posted will make it install fine.

The other guy was saying alliance manager would install it. It wont. And it also wont have a preview if you dont give it one.

Well it didn't fix it reinstalling rom customizer.. I ried I did get something different.. I think I am having a binary issue so I am gonna try switching to another rom and update the rom manager binary then try again..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goldie:
Rom manager? What are you using rom manager for? The zip wont flash with anything other than rom customizer!!

Sent from my AllianceROM'd S5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
you did boot into recovery once and then reboot and try it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
After I install it from rom customizer it has my boot into recovery to finish flashing then aborts each time..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
I haven't tried this so I can't confirm but Goldie wrote this stuff so I'd trust him and do these steps and it should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
I'm having an issue on AR 23. When I go into battery stats it shows that my GPS was on the whole day, but my GPS is clearly off and all location settings are off. I've had the phone off the charger for 1 hour and it's already down to 88% without me even turning the screen on, just discharging because of GPS.

I've had this same issue on CleanROM 8 and I thought it was just an issue with the rom, but it must be something else causing the issue.

I have the ML1 baseband so I don't think that can be the issue either.

Any help here? my battery is being murdered :/ :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
Tried a reboot? sometimes the gps daemon gets "stuck" and eats battery until you reboot or otherwise kill it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
A reboot fixes it, but that's not a real solution lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3wt:
well yeah. Either some data got left behind or you have a misbehaving app or apps. That's my guess anyway. I hear there are apps that tell you what's calling for location services/gps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I wasn't really making a big deal about the preview as I was custom themes created with Alliance Manager not changing squat when applied with Alliance Manager. I also didn't realize he was trying to apply something completely different. I thought the backgrounds for status bar etc were all part of the framework as well. My bad, learn something everyday. Thanks Goldie.

After rebooting does it start back up again after so long or when you retoggle gps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
Go into /system/bin and rename "gsiff_daemon" to "gisff_daemon.bak" then reboot and see if the problem comes back or stays away for good.

With TB, can I change Maps to user app uninstall and reinstall from play store with out messing anything up? I ask cause Navagation has been wonky on this build for me. I have never ever ever had issues with GPS or Navigation . I really believe it's the app. It's been losing signal alot, taking me to the wrong addresses and not routing correctly. Please help. Oan the screws were tightened over a year ago...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
You can use TB.... or you can just use a root browser and delete com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk from /system/app....then install from the Play Store!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kola1228:
Yes, after i rebooted the gps drain went away. But then once I retoggled it on, then off, it began draining again.

I think that might have worked. I'll keep an eye open for it next time I use my GPS. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Very dumb question but I need to for tech support on some app I installed that caused me to lose data.

What firmware is build 22? When I look at build number in my settings, just says alliance rom. Thank yous very much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
21, 22 and 23 all have the same base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ashtro:
Im still having an issue setting dropdown notification background. Closes every time. After deleting alliance tweak folder. Also on clean install. As well as dirty flash...

Nvm after dirty flash and a few reboots it is fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
I had this happen sometimes when I move from rom to rom or a new build. I read somewhere its because the GPS cache gets corrupted. The way I fixed it was to download something like GPS Status and go into settings of GPS status, tools, Manage A-GPS state, and do a reset. Then go into the App manager of android settings, find Maps, and clear data and cache...then restart the phone. After that I usually go outside, wait for the phone to fully load, and run GPS status until my GPS locks. Then open Maps, and things should be kosher after that. If it takes forever to lock, you could always download the gps fix thats somewhere in the development board (might have to go back a few pages), and flash that...and then do everything I just mentioned earlier.

I know it sounds convoluted, but this has worked quite a few times for me (and I have tightened my screws). I ran into this problem on build 22, and i was completely screwed when I had to take a car trip out of town. My gps would lose lock every ten minutes and nearly got me lost. It was pretty painful.

When was the last time u wiped the internal storage? if its been awhile maybe some stuff got left behind from other roms n its conflicting speciallt if u came from aosp to tw but make this option your last resort n just make sure u backup whatever u may need from internal storage like your backups etc....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
I was running alliance rom tw 4.3 and flashed a 4.4 rom, didnt like it so restored a backup of alliance. When I went back to alliance I somehow lost root. Do I just re root using casual? I have never taken the ota so still have an unlocked bootloader. My rom is running fine however I just don't have root. First time I've had this happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] S. Prime:
@ haps16 Are you sure that you just don't have a SuperSU or another super user app installed? You could try installing one from the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
In my play store it says that SuperSU is installed but i have no option to open it and it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Root checker says i don't have root access.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Ok i finally got SuperSU opened and it says no SU binary installed and SuperSU can't install it. this is a problem...if you just upgraded to android 4.3 you need to manually reroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vudugan:
I'll play with that later but I found that reverting back to Maps 7.6.1 solved my issue by way of TB. Thx for your response.

settings/lock screen/tap shortcuts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
Alright guys gonna give this one more shot.. My dilemma is this in short, I wan the blackglass theme in the alliance rom ota..I have tried getting rid of the alliance and settings folder, putting a screen shot .png in the BG zip, deleting the rom customizer and getting through playstore. reflashing the rom only to repeat all the above steps. What happens is the ota downloads says it was a successful install reboots into recovery and then it says installation abort make sure that I am using rom recovery 4.x.x.x or above and I am using touch.. Any help?? I have also tried updating my recovery and reinstalling rom manager as well as making sure that when I deleted the rom customizer that I rebooted the phone right after.. If possible I would like and try to get a zip I can use straight from recovery..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LazerDino:
If it downloaded correctly, it is in the OtaDownloads folder of your internal storage & should be 3.54 mb in size. I would try it through the "flash/install from internal storage" option of Rom customizer first.

Alliance23-afide SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
Tried that also tried putting it into the alliance manager folder.. Not sure about the folder size though but it is there as I have tried to download it through rootbrowser and recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goldie:
Are you using this....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LazerDino:
Goldie explained this already : Alliance Manager is for rom customization ONLY.

The OTA glass themes are framework themes ONLY.

They are two completely different theming options.

Putting it another way, the OtaDownloads is the style of house you build. The Alliance Manager is what color you paint it.

I don't know if it'll work to flash the file directly in recovery or not. Maybe someone else can answer that for you.

Rom manager works with your cwm thats why. Change to philz or twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDriller:
If you want to get rid of it, unlink in in colors section. Then go to unlinked colors and find it, then make it fully transparent.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Ok so i know that I said I had fixed my issue with losing root access after flashing back to Alliancerom from a kitkat 4.4 rom but now I have a new question. I was told to use Safestrap to get root access however I have never taken the OTA update so I didn't have a locked bootloader. I was able to get root access again but now I've been told that because I used safestrap that I will no longer be able to use any AOSP roms. Is this true and if so how can I fix this? Do I need to ODIN back to stock and reroot with Casual and update to ML1 again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
If you never took the OTA update you should be not be using safestrap and you should have a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or twrp already installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Crap i'm sorry...i used Saferoot to root it again not safestrap. I have TWRP on my phone for a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Really should have somebody chime in to make sure everything's okay have not too experienced with the safe root method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
gotcha...yeah it went ok when I was rooting it that was and afterwards I checked with rootchecker and it said i was rooted. I'm just making sure everything will be cool moving forward. The first time I rooted my phone i used casual and it was so easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
How come you didn't use casual again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
because I think casual is only for 4.1.2 and since I am on 4.3 it wouldn't work...at least thats my understanding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Brother again you should have somebody else besides me double because I think if you're on 4.3 legitimately or meaning you have a 4.3 rom. where were you before you used saferoot what was your Android version? Very important
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Ok i was orginally on 4.1.2 with an unlocked bootloader and never took the OTA to 4.3. Waited until there was a 4.3 TW rom and flashed that which is what i've been on until yesterday when I flashed a 4.4 custom rom. I didnt' like that so I formated the internal storage, restored my backup of Alliance. When I rebooted that i had no root access. With that occuring, I used saferoot to restore root access which I now have. Just wanting to make sure if I am ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Can you get into TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haps16:
Yup everything is working fine. Its just when I rebooted the backup to get back on alliance I checked root like I always do with root checker and it said I had no root. So I tried a few apps that need root access and none worked. Once I found that out I didn't want to try booting into recovery in case it may mess with things or brick my phone and immediately started looking at how to root my phone again.

Dialer Connect Screen Resolution

Here is something that seems unfortunate - the resolution of the connect page after dialing someone on your contacts list with a photo, or when someone is calling. Below is the pic from Alliance 23, then old&slow 4.3 - (this was the same on Beans 4.1.2) and KitKat.

There is a big and unfortunate difference here, to me. I like to see the smiling face of my daughter when she calls, but you can see the difference.

I know I downloaded build 23 and found the file that I flashed although my about phone screen says build 22. Is this a known common mistake amongst others? Has the problem been fixed as shown in previous posts? Or do I need to reflash for the latest and greatest?

Also build "23" is the first alliance Rom I have flashed so I have no previous reference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
If on your phone it says build 22 then rest assured that's what you're currently running... If you're sure you flashed 23 then there's something wrong! I'll tell you like I tell everyone else....WIPE EVERYTHING EXCEPT EXTERNAL SDCARD! If you have anything stored on the phone's internal storage, better back it up to the external SD before you wipe it all out! Make sure you don't use one of those "wiping scripts" either... Wipe everything manually... /system, /data, /cache, /data/media (sdcard a.k.a. internal SD a.k.a. phone's internal storage)!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jl2222:
Alright well I'm not super worried cus everything has been running fine for the past week. You think it could have to do with running this Rom using safestrap recovery? I'm one of them trapped 4.3 folk. And yes I have confirmed 23 is what I flashed.

[MENTION=5368339]KillerofJoy[/MENTION] Did you have to reboot in order to get an image to successfully apply to your settings background! I tried doing that about a week ago and no matter what combination of things I tried it just wouldn't work!

Edit: Ummm, nevermind.... For some strange reason now it works all of a sudden!!!!

I just have a question for anyone else out there trying to use a gradient or wallpaper for "system"... Does the screen (I wouldn't exactly call it a flicker...) seem to get dimmer, brighter, dimmer, brighter, etc.. when you just sit there with the settings menu open while not touching the screen at all?

Edit 2: LMAO.....I figured it out....I had to check the box for " Turn off hardware overlays" in Developer Options....not only is the screen acting normal now....but every part of the UI seems way more fluid!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillerofJoy:
THE flicker is caused by the system adjusting to whatever your alfa setting/brightness of wallpaper background. I turned mine all the way up backed it off a hair and no more of that. If in your color setting below where you add custom image under alfa slide you want it to be all the way on solid white if you want it darker I used the sec color setting as a way to shade it.
