EDIT: THIS POST IS NO LONGER UPDATED. REQUESTS MOVED TO THIS POST AS OF B5 RELEASE (1/3/2013)

Do you guys think it would be helpful to keep all of our (reasonable) requests in one place? I generally keep a close eye on this thread and would be happy to keep everything organized if it would be useful. This is what I came up with from a quick look through the last 15-20 pages or so (including my own requests):

PENDING REQUESTS

* Option for Tablet UI

* Volume key long-press to skip track while screen off

* APN Settings

* Option for standard Google calendar app instead of TW-flavored one

* Option for no media player (analogous to the ability to choose no file manager)

* Exchange security bypass in EMail app

* Auto-correction in Samsung Keyboard

* Option to remap long-presses of back and menu keys (long press menu = multiwindow; long press back = kill app)

* Remove "feature" that automatically decreases volume every time you plug-in headphones, and pop-up that warns you you're going to damage your ears

* Option for screen off on new SMS

* Option to remove IME switcher icon from status bar

* CRT screen on/off animations

* Option to remove clock from status bar
​

COMPLETED SINCE LAST RELEASE (B4 - 12/25/2012)

* [B5] Option for blue-toggle mod
​

NOT HAPPENING

* [UNLIKELY] Google Wallet (Requires build.prop changes, carries risk of secure element; can do this yourself following instructions in this thread)
​

Helpful?

For God's sake. GOOGLE WALLET. Please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dukins:
And you forgot the most important thing, skipping track while screen off. Add please to the request.

Google Wallet

Won't be baked in a ROM. Follow the simple guide in the Google Wallet thread and you will have a working Google Wallet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
Well that may be true for a stock rom, but this rom bypasses the built-in Hotspot security check and enables it and it works fine. And Verizon can't see that you're using it. Besides, your answer is basically pointless in the fact that you can use FoxFi in the google store for free to do the same thing. I'm just trying to figure out why would anybody prefer a 3rd party app over the built in one. It can't get much better and integrated than built in.

So who knows the answer to my question?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Use adb then Google how to change permissions from adb.

wished it was like galaxy nexus rom was- where it underlined in read and when you clicked mispelled word it gave all options that were close to the mispelled word, samsung didnt let this come in the rom, guess they wanted their own type and not googles, also noticed this is not a in-function of the google keyboard and you have to select it in galaxy nexus above your keyboard, I read on googles site and it may look like it is framework, so maybe beanstown will also add this google function in, we owe you big time beanstown for the best rom for the VZW note 2,Thanks

I have the wifi tether installed but is it ok to use the mobile hotspot? Its hacked so we can use it but I wont get charged for it right? I saw someone post that verizon will know if we do

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
It may be, but it's still not 100% proven to work for everyone. It doesn't look difficult at all. Reading through the GW thread, it seems there is as much success as there is failure.

Besides, if it were actually simple, then it could be baked into the roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rockwell22:
love this ROM, but can't lie waiting for beans to release MIUI ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Beans already said he wont be baking into the ROM. I forgot why but something with the framework. The tablet UI also won't happen. There's really no point in adding it when doing the mod takes what, less than 5 minutes to do? I've done the mod myself but I didn't like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wmaudio:
I didn't see your post asking your question, but based on what you wrote here I assume your question was "why would anyone use a 3rd party app for tethering?" The answer to that is that a lot of 3rd party apps have additional options that the built-in app doesn't have. I'm not sure what options either has because I don't use tethering much, but some of those options could be custom data controls, scheduling or added security options. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmjm427:
ok i flashed the rom and its awesome so far BUT;

Where did the notification drop down CLEAR button go? on stock if you had a bunch of notifications you could just tap CLEAR and they would all be dismissed.. i'm not seeing this anymore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
Its hit or miss. Sometimes its there and sometimes it goes away

Thanks. Sucks but that makes this ROM unusable. The search continues.

I haven't had the issue with it disappearing since flashing build 4 but if you are new to the ROM, it is the aosp style 3 lines in the upper right hand corner. It will no longer look like the stock"clear".

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Alliance ROM developers

This is as close as one could get to perfection. What's the point of adding additional features if the ROM is buggy. That's why I'm on build 24 because if bugs do exist, they're usually minor and updates are extremely fast compared to other ROMs.

I have a couple of requests for the next build, could you fix the delay that exist when changes to the ROM control settings such as music controls aren't reflected on the screen when initially changed. You have to back out of the current screen and then reenter back into screen where the changes were made before you can visually see the change. Could you add the ability to unlink the bluetooth?

Thank you for all your hard work.

Anyone having sd card issues? Woke up this morning and it's not there in storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greeneink:
No. Try rebooting.

Runs super smooth for me with very minor issues. My rebooting issue is only with Be Weather Pro, I installed a different weather widget and it is not causing the boot loop. Sux, because I really like BeWeather.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
Mine is mounting as ro again. It happens every time I update this rom. I have to spend hours moving the contents to my pc, formatting the card and moving everything back. It's annoying!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
If that doesn't work then try testing out the card on your pc or laptop.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

What kind of card are you using? I've never seen this issue before and I dirty flash back and forth between ROMs all the time. In fact I was on Alliance 23, dirty flashed over to Nebula v2 and then dirty flashed back to Alliance 24.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinwu57:
THanks....appears to have found it now. Hope it stays consistent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
I'm loving this setup so far. For some of us, this is the ultimate ROM because it offers everything all from within one location. For others it may feel cluttered like there's too many options within the ROM and that can seem overwhelming. That's what make the ROM so great because you only have to dive into it as deep as you want to go. Initially I felt overwhelmed by how many features were put into this ROM, so I decided that I was only going to focus in the areas that met my needs, which are ROM Controls and Xposed Framework Mods. I'd suggest that those of you who feel the layout is too difficult to navigate do the same and once you have good knowledge of where everything is at that interest you then you can move on to the another section or simply don't if you have no interest in exploring further.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I'm using a SanDisk ultra 64gb. I think it has to do with the media battery drain fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Yeah, I don't know what happened. I replied once with that question and it somehow managed to duplicate itself, which is very strange.

Try installing the ROM from a different card and see if that card has the same issue. I use to have a SanDisk ultra 64gb card and then it lost its ability to write to the card just days after the 1 year warranty expired.

So you've applied this fix and you feel that this feature is the culprit?

Dirty flashed from 23 and no problems so far. Been playing around with it since it dropped and I gotta say this thing is amazing! Great job guys. I'm liking the color a day thing, has me checking every morning just to see what it's gonna be next lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
And then being disappointed cos its pink but instead of unchecking color a day and changing it you keep it.....just because it was meant to be :D :p

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
Goldie, would it be possible to implement a kind of timer feature to color of the day, so you could set it to change color every X hours or something more often than just once a day? Just slinging ideas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
NOOOOO!!!!

add me to the list of people who bootloop on re-boot.

Everything seemed to be going fine. i was fine tuning my system and had it near perfect. I hadn't even made a nandroid yet because i wasn't completely finished with setup.

updated to MJ9, did all wipes format data, etc. standard kernel. (beans)

No other zips installed nothing out of the ordinary, Xposed not enabled, using TWRP.

Wiped everything and started over. same thing. Upon reboot it just goes to the Galaxy Note II screen and doesn't move.

Wow, that's a good one. I haven't seen an adjustment for that in my explorations.

It's there. Works in b23 but doesn't seem to stick in b24. Custom settings 》ROM control 》colors 》background colors 》drag bar handle

The dragbar handle in colors is only the line. The actual bar is in background colors. Which one are you changing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:
The one in background colors

Custom settings 》ROM control 》colors 》background colors 》drag bar handle

That's the one I'm changing it from like in b23 but doesn't stick b24 for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
I think I'm able to reproduce what you're seeing....or not seeing. I can't seem to change it.

I can change the color of the handle bar, the narrow portion, but not the larger bar that it fronts or rides upon. I've been intending to sit down today and really study these settings, but felt that getting my taxes out of the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Dang - I thought maybe you nailed it there. It was already unchecked. When checked, that same menu I posted has all the text white on white (instead of just the title of the dialog box).

I like the avatar BTW. My login name is inspired by Spaceman Spiff. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Ah...the Intrepid Spaceman Spiff! Nice. Let me poke around a little more. Mine isn't like that, and I've been trying to educate myself on these settings today.

HA!! I was wondering what the heck that setting changed. ROM Control > Colors > Unlinked Colors > Others > Phone Text Color.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
A bit more information...

I have ALL my colors linked to the main theme color, other than the ones under the toggles section (not a fan of the default greens yet, but still trying to wrap my head around all of the other color options before I try to modify the toggle colors. My linked theme color is #ffe3e3e3 (almost white).

I thought maybe the problem was a background color, but I can't seem to find one that would relate to the menu screen shot I posted above. Chrome isn't the only place I see that happen. It was just one place I could find and grab a quick screen shot of...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
ROM Control > Colors > Unlinked Colors > Others > Phone Text Color.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
I am an idiot! I didn't catch your first mention of that (well I did, but since that color was a linked color, it couldn't be changed in the Unlinked colors). I just unlinked it, and made it dark, and that fixed it! Now I just need to explore and make sure that same color isn't used on a dark background somewhere else!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
I changed it to red, that made it more obvious what that setting changed.;)

Okay so in AOSP Messaging when I try and text an auto reply number such as CHASE bank for my balance. It just crashes. I have tried it with other auto reply numbers as well and it just crashes. Not a biggie but just putting it out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Well, just found one of those black on black spots for the Phone Text color. The color picker dialog! Now I changed it to the Holo blue color (#33b5e5). Sort of a compromise for the white background color areas but I think I can sleep now!

All Toggles Visible

I've went to settings -> display -> notification panel and set 9 toggles to be the ones I see. I've went to settings -> custom settings -> rom control -> statusbar and toggles -> toggle options -> toggles in view and set the number to 9. And I still have every available toggle when I do the pull down. No amount of working with the settings I've found reduces the number of toggles. What am I missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:
I had the same issue, so I set the toggles to 4 saved, then incrementally went up to 9 and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burpootus:

battery life?

hmm is it just me or is build 24 burning the battery life a lot faster compared to 23?

i'm using the same stock kernal, same launcher, same pretty much everything..

what's the biggest difference between the builds that could possibly do this??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
are you guys high?? that is not for reducing the ammount of toggles.. thats for reducing/increasing the amount of toggles shown at once in notification panel.. there currently is no way to delete toggles from view other then modifiying the settings database with a sqlite editor

Purely Amazing Goldie!!! I thank you for everyone!! and every one else should thank you as well!!!

this should help alot of people out who are scarred of the colors
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burpootus:
Maybe it's just terminology. When I say toggles, I mean when you swipe down from the top and touch the icon in the far top right that looks kinda like 4 squares, you get the window with what I call toggles. Wi-Fi, sound, airplane mode, etc. Mine has 25 different toggles, some of which I would have to go on google to find out what they do. I need to find the menu where I can reduce these to the few I use. I know I've done it in other roms. Are we talking the same thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinwu57:
Since we're all talking about colors, is there a way to reset back to default colors?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] txr33:
That button is to display all toggles so when pressed it displays all toggles. I haven't seen a stock rom which allows those toggles to be removed as that requires the database to be edited to do so, but again the reason of that button is to display all available toggles.

The number of toggles in view affects the number of toggles in a line, so if set 4 you will get 4 toggles per line, because when pull down status bar it displays one line and a different view for the toggles. Those available toggles are changed by going into settings/display/notification panel and move the toggles you don't want there from notification panel to available buttons so then when pull down status bar the only available toggles will be what you set to be there but pressing the show all will show all available toggles

AllianceROM I9305
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Pressing that 4 square thingy IS supposed to show you ALL your toggles. :D

You should have a user-setable number of toggles in the pull-down unless you've turned them off. Turn them on in Rom Control > Statusbar and Toggles > Toggle Options > Toggle Position.

Dirty flashing might be the answer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burpootus:
That was it! Rom Control > Statusbar and Toggles > Toggle Options > Toggle Position had nothing selected. When I set "Top", now I have the number I set in a line across the top. Man, having all 25 toggles was driving me crazy. BTW, I did a clean flash on install because I came from 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jinwu57:
