Have plenty of space... I'll try the compression. And yeah I'm on 2.7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. Compression fixed mine. It is backing up the files but can't build the tar at end unless compressed. Don't know why. :cool:

[MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] got it thanks.

Now time to flash 23
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Kewl. Guess that proves the fix. Also saves space. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
I don't think this is ROM related - just unfortunate timing. I'm still on Beans' 4.1.2 and my blacked out Gmail stopped working after the recent Play Services update. Others are mentioning it on Team Blackout's forum so hopefully there is an update soon.

Is Alliance manager not working for anyone else? My fc's immediately when trying to open
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hoodieNation:
Working fine here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
Just for clarification sake, is it okay to install build 23 with Philz? I know Beanz was having some trouble right before this release, and was checking out that bug with TWRP, but there wasn't and conclusions after that. I'm about to switch from 22 to 23, and I want to make sure my clean install will go through correctly....and secondly I'm not a huge fan of TWRP, and don't really want to switch unless forced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
TWRP rocks. Use whatever you want. He removed the offending apks. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VoiceGuy:
I did a clean install (going from 22 to 23) using Philz and the steps Beans gave in post #13025. Things went as expected. No surprises and it's running great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
Is it easy to undo a theme when you try one? I would hate to lose my current settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoop5:
Don't know why, but if I touch the face of the contact or just the phone mine doesn't fc. But if I touch in the middle of the two it does:confused:....but otherwise WONDERFUL Rom beans and the rest involved. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
+1 very strange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rkerrddd:
Awesome rom just one thing maybe add some multi window color options or transparency
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
Go to the manager, save your current theme then make changes. If you want to revert back just reload your personal save. Worked for me

Doesn't do that for me, but I'm on full tw apps. Are you using aosp?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meandg5:
Not a biggy or a deal breaker but is there a setting for "quiet times". I can't seem to find one? Thanks, Howie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Long press blocking mode in settings. :cool:

Thank you sir!;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] motocrossmann:
Very nice rom! I think I'll be staying here for awhile!

Just flashed 23 and noticed I cannot see the text for some of my Exchange server options. I'm talking about the page where you set how often it syncs (push, 5 min, etc). It's like all the text is in white. Once you select a blank area, you can momentarily see the text as it highlights. Where do I go to change the coloring of the text?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] S. Prime:
You can change the settings in Settings /Alliance Mod/ROM Customizer, but an easier way is to go to Programs/Alliance Manager and tap Choose Theme and select S5 or KitKat and your text in Exchange settings will be visible. Some of the other themes may work as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoop5:
Yes I'm on aosp messaging
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
Just flash build 23 having difficulty with text messaging. After flashing my sms stops working, they won't send at all. Clean wipe only restoring user apps with data and restoring my sms.

Crtl+z
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Did you restore sms to the same messaging app as they were originally made from. IE: backed up from Stock MMS and then tried restoring to AOSP MMS. If so that is the problem. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace2d:
I usually do stock tw sms which I don't use at all. I've been using go sms for years

*edit* I just turned airplane mode on and back off and it started sending them. Not sure what to think.

Saves a LOT of Space, but Takes Longer

Hey Dog - On TWRP, after just doing a backup both with and without compression, I found the compressed file to be about 55% of the uncompressed, but it takes about 3 times longer. 300+seconds vs 900+seconds, 2.3 gig vs. 1.2gig, on an AOSP ROM. Still, great space saving since I have backups around for a number of different ROMS, versions, and keep some on my phone. (Had to go clean out some from the PC recently - just too many!):good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Knew it was about half size. Haven't timed but read that it does take longer. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
It reports the time at the end of the backup, n'est pas? In seconds. So, 5 min vs. 15 min.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
For anyone having Contacts crash, it has something to do with AOSP messaging. I reflashed with tw instead and it works fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
They had same problem on Build 22. That is how I was able to make an educated guess without even flashing. It is discussed and I believe there may be a fix farther back in the thread. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmancini3:
That's why I figured I'll just learn to live with it....sort of. So I went ahead and decompiled it and now I'm slowly theming it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It's not hard to theme. The tricky part is the header and bars are pulled from framework-res so whatever base theme of rom is that is what the stock MMS is. Have to build calls if want it different. Same calls and .9 pngs are used for contacts, phone, settings ect. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazienluv10:
does anyone know how to untheme the aosp messenger? i like the stock asop look...

THANKS!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Have to decompile it and a stock one and replace the files. Could just flash another but most don't work or have something broke. Think this is about the only one that almost all works. O&S has one also but it is also themed and not sure what doesn't work. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rholm:
My battery life is incredible on 23. I have a Zero Lemon and am at 86% after the whole day... would probably be closer to 75 on 22. Used bluetooth for streaming audio. I'm on the KT kernel. How's everyone else's experience going?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Unfortunately, dropdown wallpaper has stopped.

Unfortunately, dropdown wallpaper has stopped.

Unfortunately, dropdown wallpaper has stopped.

It won't even open. I tried reflashing. I've tried everything.

Also, how is lean kernel? I decided to test drive the alliance kernel for once and break away from kt for a little while. I've never tried lean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Masterx9:
Anyone else contacts force closing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yup. If you flashed AOSP messaging it is gonna crash. Beans doesn't add AOSP cause it works. He adds because it is requested. It is not actually supported but he will fix if can and if not it is what it is. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
Did you add extra toggles AFTER you made drop-down wallpaper customizations? Another user reported problems until he reflashed and added extra toggles BEFORE additional customization.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I didn't touch anything. As soon as the rom was flashed I went straight to that option in Alliance mod control.

Yep

Could it be a problem related with the latest twrp? 2.7

Alliance Manager

I am having a problem with Alliance Manager. I cannot get it to work at all. There are no themes installed on my phone (the directory does not exist), and the app crashes every time I try to choose a theme.

I have clean installed (factory reset, wipe everything on internal) Build 23 twice, with a dirty flash in between, to see if I could get it to work. I doubt it has anything to do with kernel, but I tried both KT747 and stock Alliance kernels.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

BTW - besides colors and themes, I have had no issues with this build and it kills my Build 22 in battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rlin5741:
The date seems to have disappeared on the lock screen (see attached). I have the date display selected on the lock screen settings, but the space at the top where the date is typically is blank.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
Are you sure you wiped data and data/media aka the internal sd. This happened to me when I used Philz recovery and tried the wipe option for installing new roms (its suppose to wipe everything) but it didn't wipe the internal sd because all my folders were still there after the build 23 was installed. So I went back, did the usual wipes, and then manually formatted the internal sd. On the second clean install, the theme folders showed up and alliance manager worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Try unchecking it, then locking, then recheck show date, and then check lock screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yarsh:
I found this same solution before seeing your post, dvschnk. Glad it is repeatable and therefore explainable.

Philz didn't wipe internal SD, so when I manually wiped it before another clean install, it worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Yes I always do advanced wipe and select all but ext sd card. Did that twice and still no luck. Anyways I'll try more tomorrow to fix this. Good night everyone and thanks for the suggestions!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Z:
You got any screens of your stats? I'm also using the same battery and my battery life isn't doing that great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
beans, i see sysscope has made its way back in the rom??? i seem to remember you saying in an earlier rom you totally got rid of it. is this simply an oversight or is it necessary for something

Working AOSP MMS app

for those of you that want a working aosp mms app

here is what to do.

-first back up your msg's, (not sure if you will lose them going from tw to aosp mms app but you can try)

-delete the mms app from your phone,(be it tw or aosp) ( i use rom toolbox pro)

-reboot recovery and flash Alliance_AOSP_MMS_MOD_v2.zip (i believe this is the app that its included in the rom, this is from pimpmaneaton so say thanks to him)

-restart phone and make sure that now your contacts don't fc when going to your contact book and see if you can edit, also open up aosp mms app but dont restore msg's yet (this app standalone, fixes the fc of contacts, but breaks the group msg'n for those with iphone friends)

-delete the new aosp mms app but dont clear any data, just delete the app (this leaves behind the fixes for contacts fc)

-then reboot recovery and flash AOSP_Mms_for_ML1.zip (this is a stock aosp mms app) (somebody provided a link to this zip but cant find out who) P.S. you can also try to flash another aosp mms app like a themed one, i flashed a cleared-out one and it works, make sure its 4.2.2 if not, just go with the stock one provided.

-reboot and try it out, check that your contacts dont fc and that group msg'n is working.

hopefully it works as it did for me,

i had provided some sort of guide back on alliance 22 but it quickly got buried...

hopefully this one works for you

Alliance_AOSP_MMS_MOD_v2.zip

AOSP_Mms_for_ML1.zip

Easily Migrate SMS & MMS Between AOSP and TW

TItanium Backup has an option in Preferences called "Migrate system data" you can select. I have a seperate TB "Messages(SMS & MMS") and "Call Log" entry in my Backup/Restore list with a TB icon by it's side. I have used this to restore messages and call log moving between AOSP and TW ROMS and Nandroids at will with no problems. (Only thing is sometimes on an AOSP ROM it requires me to allow Titanium Backup to become my new SMS app before it will restore, but after opening SMS after that, one can change it back in settings, at least on KitKat.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
Having the same thing. unchecking and re-checking didn't make a difference
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] I_TerraBull:
You mentioned that "Alliance_AOSP_MMS_MOD_v2.zip" breaks group msg'n with iphones. Does group msg'n work after applying "AOSP_Mms_for_ML1.zip"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Weird. That worked for me.

What still isn't working though is Dropdown Wallpaper mod. I'll Redownload the rom and try a clean install ONE MORE TIME and if it doesn't work after that I'm throwing this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
this worked for me! i was about to reflash but no need now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
I'm loving this build and everything is perfect except has anyone run into an issue with the stock gallery app? Mine is really laggy. When I'm scrolling through some of my camera roll, it would hang up and then think I selected a picture when all I'm doing is scrolling through. I've tried reformatting my sd card and then putting only a few pictures (15) back on to test....still getting the crazy slowdown and lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sachin001:
Flashed onto Verizon i-535. Continuously getting "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" error and contact won't download completely. "Please fix it". Reverted back to Old ROM. Liked the installer and options though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
That is an issue that samsung has avoided doing anything about for as long as the s3 has been out. The default gallery and TouchWiz combo has always had these problems. It also appears to be related to MicroSD, Internal SD, and, of course, media scanning. That problem seems to spring up out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Some people rollback to a later android version or factory reset. Some people say all you have to do is reseat the microSD and sim card. Another thing would be to check in Alliance control settings and playing with the media scanning option. Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
There will be no fix as it doesn't happen to everyone. Search this thread and find the prior posts and fixes on this subject. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] S. Prime:
Great version so far, but using the stock kernel the battery drain is significant. I have not had this problem with the stock kernel on previous versions. Should I reflash with a different kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
do you know whats causing it? media scanner has been a sizeable culprit in the past(hence the option to turn it on and off) but i havent had to do that for quite a while, maybe not at all on 4.3. check the stock battery graph in settings and it will be very apparent if thats it. otherwise bbs should tell you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
So before I reflash the ROM in an attempt at fixing my issue, would you mind telling me the name of the alliance folder, please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Emalasto:
This rom is seriously so awesome. I really like the addition of the Alliance manager with all of the different themes. So badass! Thanks man I appreciate it! :good: :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
So deleting the AllianceTweak and alliancemanager cache folder fixed the AllianceROM Settings crashes I was having (fc when trying to set a wallpaper for dropdown/settings/etc)

Sorry for spamming about this issue.

And thanks Goldie for the indirect suggestion that cured my ailment :D

I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally missing it....but is there no option to change the color for the "other" status bar icons, like alarm clock and Bluetooth for example? I guess for now, the only way would be for me to change those PNG's manually?

Looks like AFH is down on pc..anyone have link to torrent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:

Had the same issue on build 22..never was able to get it to sync. Build 23 is working fine now after a few cancels and resync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] S. Prime:
I remembered that the original post snoop5 about great battery life, referred to running zero lemon, so I did a bit of research on Amazon and zero lemon is an extended battery, that has some good reviews, but it does double the thickness of your phone. So I may look at this alternative as well.

Doesn't appear to work for me. Still no date on the lock screen after uncheck, lock, recheck.

cant load ROM

I have no clue what I am doing wrong here. Rooted phone, installed safestrap, loaded modem zip, then rom zip, go through the aroma set up and reboot and it hangs up on the samsung s3 screen, anybody else run into this??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
I'm using a gorilla gadgets extended battery. I'm able to use my phone a lot without charging for 2-3 days. It only costed me around $25 because I bought it when it was on sale from Amazon and an extra $10 for the custom case. It's truly a great battery :) idk about zero lemon tho.

You should install the ml1 modem first then the ROM. It's fine to flash the modem once more after the rom is installed successfully but I haven't really noticed a difference. Are you wiping everything minus the ext-SD?

Also the first boot after install takes a long time so give it 5 minutes. If that doesn't work then go into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Only ever need to flash a modem once. Will stay untill you flash a different one. It is on it's own partition. :cool:

Is there a certain kernel i should be using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Did you select no kernel option. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Try wiping dalvik and cache again if you haven't since you installed everything. That's usually what causes hangs on booting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Should be selecting no kernel. :cool:

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Also can be caused by bad download. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] downhillvinnie:
Hmmmmm is there a no kernel option? I tried a couple different ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
In my experience it gives an error (corrupt or w/e) before installing if it's bad :p unless it was downloaded elsewhere or for wrong phone. :)

Ok so I have never had this problem on any other rom....pushing to system!! For some reason some apps will push to system/apps and others wont. Keyboards for instance..If I install Samsung in aroma I can't flash or push any other keyboards...it fails to transfer to system or flash doesn't work...now with secphone.apk.....I can push seccontacts.apk....and the play store fine..and calculator. ..but not phone?? It says operation failed and a partial of the app is in system but no icon and not all the apk? I finally figured out keyboard....reflash without Samsung keyboard then flash my zip...worked! Any ideas? Is there a lock on some apps? Haven't had this happen before except alliance...I have root browser which I have always used and it has root permissions.....I have no idea????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No lock on apks. They are the same as any other base apk except for the mods. The way they are modding this rom may be the problem cause all the mods are changing resources and tied to other apks, smali, Alliance apk, ect. Try not enabling any mods and flash apk. :cool:
