sparkyb

nice work and thanks.

I did a full wipe and flashed everything since I never installed any other rom except alliance. Everything seems to work fine except "back n theme app" and "dropdown wallpaper" doesn't seem to do anything. Is this normal or something went wrong with my flash?

Looking in to both those things tomoz :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Yes, it's almost the first thing I disable. So should I keep it enabled to avoid this issue, correct?

Is there a bug tracker for alliance where we can submit in an organic manner everything we might come up with? Maybe also to request little features such as 7 toggles in drop down toggles and such?

Cheers and keep up the good work! V4 is fantastic, can't wait to have it up and running on my phone too!!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Yup, keep it on for now, it's been fixed for release tomorrow...

Just report any bugs here mate, will look in to 7 toggles...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Tomorrow I'll redownload the full rom again to be sure that there aren't issues with the file on my side, and restart from scratch whenever the fix will be ready :D

Also, let me ask this even though it's not a bug but just a little question: in V1 we had a different and much better and quite holo themed mms app.. Where did it go?? :P and... What about changing text colour in system setting through Alliance custom settings? :P ok I'm done for now... Gotta go to bed after a really harsh day!

Cheers and a big, immense Thank you!!

Should be about 30 seconds but can be longer if you have set a dropdown wallpaper that is a large file.

If it's freezing let me know the status message and I'll look into it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cris7ianO:
How do i get it?^^
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] BenRoark:
In an earlier version of Alliance, we had the AOSP Messaging app available via OTA. Comnam and the gang decided that it wasn't working as well as they wanted, though, and ditched it. Is that maybe what you mean?

I thought it was awesome, but I'm not the boss obviously, and maybe other people experienced lots of bugs. Samsung's Messaging app is very slow and jaggy IMHO.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
I don't have a dropdown wallpaper set, and I haven't yet specified any colours. Essentially I'm trying to backup the default settings before I start playing. It seems to just be hanging on the status of "Getting Database Values".

I really should get a logcat .....

EDIT: ok, did a logcat going from my homepage -> System Settings -> Custom Settings -> Back N Theme App -> the big "Backup/Restore" button -> backup. Waited a minute and stopped. What I did notice was at the same time the backup got to the above status, the following line appeared in the logcat. Related? I'll let the experts decide that.

W/Utils ( 3987): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/sdcard0/Alliance/AllianceBackup/DB Settings.exp: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The AllianceBackup directory doesn't exist, and I can't create it - with estrongs or terminal emulator :/ Is the full logcat needed?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
No I'm not referring to aosp messaging, but to Samsung messaging app Holo themed we had in v1. It's not aosp since it has Samsung features, but the composing window is holo like and not that Samsung crap that is so '90s. Really liked it! :P

Hi

i flashed this rom once with rom customizer = i had system ui FC . and once with TWRP + superwipe it came with missy theme stock and allience

EDIT : flashed for the third time and the same i have system ui fc
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] OneGoodKnock:
Had a go at flashing V4 yesterday, but had a few issues. (a) Pulldown status bar kept freezing. (b) Pull down Statusbar kept periodically disappearing. (c) Various ui force closes. (d) On homescreen, when pressing the menu key to bring up Nova Launcher options, the menu was blank. (e) In the main settings menu each option had the icon, but no text. The same with the power off/ restart menu.

I flashed using Rom customiser including a full wipe. I also had a go at flashing directly through TWRP. The effect was the same.

On a side note, this ROM looks amazing, it is clear that there has been a massive amount of work put into this, and for that I cannot thank you all enough.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
For text you gotta set phone text in custom settings and power menu is mentioned in one of my posts a few pages back

LTE 7105 version

Hi Comnam90,

I'm a Robbie's N7000 ROM user, and like his work very much :)

Looking at your ROM it seems that your work is similar, (AllianceROM ;)

What I'd like o ask you is if there is some member o AllianceROM that has a version for international 7105 version that could share it :)

I'm sure a lot of 7105 users would be pleased ;)

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
How . please explain
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
The file found in Data/Log.

It is weird why this is happening to you, I flashed this so many times during testing, but I didn't have a single SystemUI FC.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] BenRoark:
Oh,OK. I don't remember it at all, but I'll add my voice to yours in enquiring about its whereabouts, coz it sounds really good, haha...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Here it is. It's indeed Samsung apps since menu looks and options are its own ones!

I have an N7105, i started a rom previously but then i took over s3, then all deving came to halt while applying for uni, having some personal issues and breaking my laptop screen :( however, sparky has already been bugging me to port to N7105 so i will, but i am also working on S3 again so give me a little time :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
I use that too, even now on v4. I have placed it somewhere safe. :D I like it more than the AOSP one because it has folder view and some other stuff. On the other hand the Samsung one doesn't have the AOSP theming, so this is the best combination. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Let's see if the devs are ok with putting it on ota.. At user's risks of course! ;)

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
There's no risk.. I've used it with no problems.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Well then!

Alliance crew, what do you say about this? ;)

Edit: about drop down notifications... Is it normal that handle colour changes the whole lower handle, and not just the thin line under carrier name? It would be nicer to have the two colors split IMHO, or at least just a way to only change the line color (which in aosp is ics blue). Is it clear what I mean, or do you need a screenshot?

Cheers! Alliance rocks!!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
anybody??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zYnthethicz:
2 questions:

1. When i drag down the notification menu, isn't that supposed to make the statusbar invisible? because right now i can see the statusbar through the notification menu which makes it look weird.

2. The toggles doesn't seem to work, or rather the setting on how many toggles that should be visible doesn't work, right now i can't have less than 8 toggles! :(

If i look in "Display->notification panel" i can drag and drop the toggles but i can't deselect them so that there are fewer than 8 toggles activated.

And the Alliance Customizer doesn't help at all, it doesn't seem to override the stock toggle settings.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] siakgayyem:
Just when I got to finish adjusting the rom to my liking, I somehow managed to mess the status bar and notifications. Status bar and notifications disappeared completely and I can't seem to get it back. Restarting system ui and rebooting of the phone didn't help. How can I get it back?

You've got to go to es explorer/ option button/ click on root explorer/ Mount R/W and choose RW for both.

Also after going through people's response I have a feeling well be seeing v4.1 soon.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zYnthethicz:
That worked, but is it possible to get so that it covers the statusbar 100% and then like.. fades downwards? See attached screenshot.

Oh, fixed that now. In Rom Customizer settings it showed that stock toggles were disabled. So i enabled stock toggles and then disabled it, that worked.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
It is mate, it's the old Samsung mms app included in alliance v1, or maybe it used to be in ota those days. Also steff mentioned it, and confirmed to me that it works fine with v4, which is great! I wasn't talking about problems!

Cheers and keep up the good work!!

Thank you mate, but I was talking about "solid Explorer", not "es explorer", and there is no similar option in it. Anyway, after some issues probably due to a bad download, I'll try again with a clean download of v4 as soon as possible!

[MENTION=308374]cyberpunk627[/MENTION]: I don't know if your dpi problem is solved but I use Play DPI Fix (found over xda, just google it) and always set it to 260dpi (240 seems too small for me) without a problem. It also solves Play compatibility problem after just modifying build.prop file. This modifies this file and also recompiles Play app and stuff. You'll have to do it via PC, just connect the phone and run the Play DPI Fix on the pc.

I used it on previous rom versions, I also use it on v4 without any problems. ;) You just have to set some Samsung apps to standard 320 dpi using Xposed, you know they are no multi-dpi. After changing dpi with Play DPI Fix Samsung keyboard will keep crashing so you'll have to uninstall it and use other keyboard or multi-dpi Sansung keyboard (again, google it).

Hope this helps. ;)

Re: [ROM][XXDMA6][6 Feb] AllianceROM N7100 DMA6 V1.0 - It Begins Here

You must download omega rom from playstore.. then from that app you can find the wallpaper scrolling
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Re: [ROM][XXDMA6][6 Feb] AllianceROM N7100 DMA6 V1.0 - It Begins Here

Yes, gabamoner is correct. Download omega files from play store. Then launch the app go to NOTE 2 look for launcher choose TW launcher then download TW launcher with rotation.

TW launcher withscrolling wallpaper does not work but the one with rotation works. You will have scrolling wallpaper and 4 way rotating UI as well.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Thank you mate, I have a similar setup running perfectly since alliance v1 came out! ;)

Luckily, I discovered that v4 issues I had weren't at all related to dpi and such as I thought, but according to what sparky said it might be related to the brightness bar mod that when disabled gave me the issue, keeping it on should solve it easily and I think I heard something in previous posts about a fix coming!!

Note 2 N7100 - Alliance Rom DMA6 - Perseus Kernel
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
Or... since you already have Xposed installed and are using it, you can just set the Samsung keyboard to 320 dpi as well.

Oops. Lol. I just switched to the Samsung keyboard... It was so big less than half was displaying! Oh well. At least this way stops it from dying :D

My usual setup is to use SwiftKey as my normal keyboard, and use the spen switcher app to have the Samsung keyboard for the spen. Since I only ever see the Samsung keyboard in handwriting mode I didn't realise normal mode was oversized :confused:

You need that file. If it's not there open the install zip and got it into the Alliance folder. Of you still have problems remove root access then apply again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
I knew why I said about Samsung keyboard, either to remove it or to use the multi-dpi one...it just doesn't show correctly in 320dpi after changing dpi. :D

The best keyboard for me, after many tested, is Q2 keyboard, recently renamed to Dodol. It's the most customizable I've seen.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] t-pip:
Most of you have no idea who I am, that's OK because to be honest I don't either!

What I do know is that Sparky has been working non stop for a long time to bring you version 4 so how do you think he feels now that, less than 48 hours later, some of you are demanding version 4.1 whilst others are making new requests. Do you really think now immediately after a release is the best time to ask for new features? How about saying thanks for the new stuff and waiting a couple of weeks for new requests. As for '4.1', this is to fix a minor issue where hiding the brightness bar causes the status bar to crash. Is it really that much of a hardship to have to live with that for a while?

Other than the above it's people asking the same question over and over. Xda has a search, try using it.

It you have read the above and are thinking to yourself what is this idiot going on about then I apologise for wasting your time, however if you think it applies to you then how about saying thanks or if needed even say sorry to Sparky. Remember he is a person with feelings!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] t-pip:
Firstly your English is perfect, probably better than mine and I've only been using it for 35 years!

Thanks for your reply. I'm not going to say if you were one of the people I aimed my post at or not but I will say that your observations are spot on and I hope that Sparky sees your reply and that it might boost him a bit.

This is in reply to you but is relevant and aimed at everyone. I'm not suggesting that you should do all or indeed any of this it just seemed the relevant place to put it.

A (very) little about me. I'm and S2 user and help Goldie out here and there. I throw apps together when needed (in v4 you have Alliance Back n Theme and Alliance Wallpaper (and the totally invisible SysUI Reset tool)) and help out on forums to take the stress away from Goldie having to answer everything all of the time and to cover him if he needs a break. On S2 forums this seems to work quite well.

Currently the S2 forums are pretty quiet so I've been helping Sparky out where I can (obviously quite limited as I don't have the N2).

I have't just told you that to try to show how amazing I am (although lets be honest I am), I've told you this to show how much help a dev can need. For example did you know that Sparky was working on your Rom for most of his last vacation?

Sparky needs a me.

I'm (un)lucky enough to currently be unemployed and as such have time to do quite a bit to help I hope that most of you are not in this position but maybe a few of you could take it upon yourselves to become experts in certain areas of the ROM. One person focussing on UI Customisations, another Apps, another Core functions, etc.

Also think of what might help, possibly someone setting up and maintaining a shared document with Sparky with bugs, change requests and a wish list of new functions.

I'm not saying that all of this is needed or that this is all that s needed, it's just an idea. If you think you can help speak to Sparky and see what happens. He might say no thanks, in which case don't take offence. This is my idea and not his. He might not like it or think it necessary. This is his thread and he can run it however he wants.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
What ROM are you coming from? I had this problem when I had a aosp ROM installed before hand.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
Hmmmm, I might have to re-download the rom. The md5 of what I have matches, but that file (or the AllianceBackup directory) doesn't exist in it. AllianceROM_N7100_DME6_v4.zip -> sdcard/Alliance only contains backupdb.conf and a directory named "tmp"

Thanks for the help :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] t-pip:
Can you check that the backupdb.conf file on your device contains something readable (should be a list of database column headers). If not replace that file from your install zip.

When you try to run the app will create the Alliance Backup folder and the DBSettings,exp file try again to manually create the folder. If you can't do this the app wont be able to either. This is an Internal SD location so Root access isn't required. If you can't write with your file manager you have a big problem.
