160 or 180 is not a good idea I think. (JUST ME)

I have tried it already. Everything in the Launcher will be too small. But you can use a diif launcher to resize icon and font.

If you like to try.

With Xposed app setting. Look for Android System, set DPI to 160 or 180 what ever you like. Make sure you have a diff launcher aside from TW for failsafe.

App drawer on TW will be really small. So other launcher is needed.

But if you still want to use TW you can set DPI to 320-350. But the looks of it is not good with icon too large. You can set font using expposed app setting.

Keyboard will crash. (You can use Bala gamer Mod) (i have not tried using xpposed app seting if will work)

Calculator, camera, flash bar(multi window tab), task manager layout will be off, not in place. (You can use expposed app seting set DPI to 320. Or bala gamer mod)

Menu button wont work. Make sure you have another way for accessing menu. Like LMT or athor launcher with menu button on upper right corner.

TW laucher like i said wont look right. Bala gamer mod for TW is not compatible anymore.

Drop down notif will be small but centered.

If system UI fc, use expoosed app setting. Set it to 240-320. You may experiment.

If you want to try the multiwindow like on Tablet. You may set android system SCREEN DP to 1000X1600.

Maybe a lot more that i have not test/check.

But i think 240 DPI is the best. :D

I'm using Adam 2.2.1 Maybe you've got some settings from previous kernel enabled. If you had RedPill you should disable ext2int mod in STweaks and then restart the phone. Then flash the Adam Kernel and then flash ext2int mod (I'm using v6 for the Samsung Galaxy S3, as the earlier didn't work for me to well).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xdashao:
And also check your init-d folder for left over scripts. You can delete or make a back up for those. Then install new kernel.

Replied pm sir. I will ask hp again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Hi Guys,

Re this AdvanceS app. With all the post about it here, I gain some curiosity about it and so I did some (well actually a research :D) searching about it. What it is and what it does. Primarily this app actually related to Toggle MOD that we have and I think every toggle MOD available. freezing it will cause the Toggle Mods inside custom setting to FC.

found out that AdvanceS was actually started from the 23toggle MOD from lidroid and I also found out the the app it self is uploading/sending some info to a server particularly the IMEI. Which I think is the reason why it is having some connection activity just like what nogo8888 found out. So, there is actually some security issue here.

the rest of the information is on this thread.

floating multiwindow

Hi,

I happen to see some AllianceROM users who are visiting thread about floating multiwindow.

for those who are interested, you don't need to follow those (for me) already a high level steps and procedure just to get floating multiwindow work.

all you need is Exposed Installer and Xpossed app setting. (Just search for it) :)

with Xpossed app setting, find Android System. then change Screen (dp) to 1000x1600 and that's it!

NOTE: not all apps are supported you might wonder why, they just don't.

sample screen shot attached.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nogo8888:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
Is there a way I can use the status bar icons from v.1? I like them better. The v2 ones seem misaligned, the wi-fi icon is far from the others and is not that sharp looking also. Also the battery color is not the same as the others and it doesn't change its color no matter what color I choose. I tried to use the SystemUI from v1, it reverted to the v1 statusbar icons, but at the cost of losing some functionalities. So, for now, until further changes, I'm still using v1 of this rom.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Wont really appear on connection tab. Tried rebooting couple of times already.

But i will monitor and report back when spotted.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nogo8888:
Thats good it means your basically "safe"
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hooliganx:
Man, you did? :o works good?

I have Exposed Installer 2.1.3 and

XposedAppSettings 0.3

using in many apps... :p

so, if I wanna have floating multi window, go to Android System, change Screen to 1000 x 1600 and... that it? :D

all the others apps don't change anything?

good!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Yes... that is all you need to do... once you have done that make sure you reboot.

You when you do multiwindow you will see there is a PIN, RESTORE and CLOSE BUTTON.

You have to pin the app to make stay on your screen.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Giocarro:
Yep, I noticed some graphics glitches on status bar, too; V1 seemed more polished on that aspect. I hope some fix is on the way.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Hi Buddy,

Thats beacuse your recovery was being directed to a wrong folder/directory.

Delete that /0 folder using root file explorer. If /0 folder contains some other files just trnsfer them in /sdcard.

I suggest you read a few pages back. There are others who encountered this error after comming from 4.2 based rom.

Alliance 1.0 has been my favourite ROM for the N7100 so far.

Apart from the new base (which I don't believe is inherently a big change), the changes between 1.0 and 2.0 seem to be almost exclusively cosmetic.

Can someone please confirm this? I'm sure there are hundreds of you who have upgraded...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Giocarro:
Sparky, can't post a screenshot at the moment, but basically the issues are what Steff195 described:

- icons not perfectly aligned;

- battery icon (stock, not circle) have a wrong tint of blue.

As stated before, all was perfect with v1 so is should be just a matter of polishing it up a bit.

You know, status bar icons are something always right there under the eye in common phone usage.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
cool, I will look into the icons, but there's nothing I can do about the battery.....it's a color changer, select whatever color you like! :p

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
The problem is that it doesn't change its color. I specified this in that post.

Here's how the statusbar looked in the 1st version so you can compare to that in 2nd version. In my oppinion, this looks more JB style. ;) ... and the icons are all well placed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Changing colors of wifi,signal and battery is working fine here....

EDIT:

I should say that the battery icon is I think too far from the corner... and the gap between the battery and signal is too big.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
I can adjust the icons layout, but the images are the same, they've just been changed to white to allow the color change....

Also, can you screenshot me your battery options in custom settings please?

Anyone else having battery color change issues?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
Do you mean from v1? If so, there are no particular customization regarding the battery except for the battery style changer.

Anyway, here are some screenshots, taken step by step for you to have a general idea about those menus.

Thanks!

P.S.: For me the wi-fi and signal icons in v2 looked like a sort of a "greenish" blue, not like these in v1, and the battery is a darker blue than this v1 one. So, you get the image, lighter "greenish" blue and dark blue don't look quite good together. I'm sorry I don't have some screenshots from v2 as well.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Is that your settings from v2?

You should have option to change color and there is no longer 5 batteries to choose from, just stock, circle, with text etc....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
No man, this is my v1, which I specified some posts again that I am using right now. I thought you were asking for these. :D In v2 indeed there are such settings that you speak of, but the battery one just don't work. That's what I'm trying to say.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Slide the alpha slider to the right?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Yeah... maybe thats why the color change does not take effect..

And it needs system UI restart too...

Unlike color change on wifi and signal that takes effect immidiately.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
You can just change it...no need to restart ui. It will update on next battery pol. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Hhm.. I see..

Well draining 1% take sometime though :D

So thats why the change does not apply immidiately..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
I will flash again to try that too, although I'm pretty sure I tried that too.

I will post some screenshots too just for you guys to see the difference between the 2 versions in which v1 is the better looking.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
Ok flashed it and the same.

Screenshot 1: You can see the color difference between battery and the rest, that I was talking about. You can compare to v1 screenshots in my previous posts, to see the difference. Here you can also notice the big gap between battery and signal. I know I said the Wi-Fi was misplaced but I forgot that in fact the battery was far away from signal icon. I forgot about it because I reverted to v1 in the meanwhile.

Screenshot 2: I did slide the alpha slider to the right, I even entered that given JB code, but the battery is the same, even after restart.

Other things noticed before and noticed again after reflashing v2 are:

- the Settings' icon is not JB themed, see screenshot1. In v1 it was. Not a biggie, it can be changed in Nova using an icon pack. Just wanted to mention it. ;)

- the Settings submenus' texts are still vertically misaligned, as in v1.

Guys, I just mentioned this because I like this rom and I want to contribute to its improvement by some feedback. If you feel I am wrong, you can leave it as it is. I won't insist on this. ;) But I'm glad also others noticed these.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] flatronics:
Hi Sir.

Did you flashed the version 2 update already from ota? It contain some fixes... maybe it could fix your battery color issue...

Also, i noticed you have that alliance logo beside Battery option. Did you change that? I dont have that...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Giocarro:
It is not an OTA only issue: I had exactly the same situation after installing v2 from scratch with full wipes.

Flatronics, please try the stock battery instead of circle one.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
I don't know if I flashed the v2 update when these screenshots were taken, but I know I checked that too and the same. Earlier when I tested I flashed 2 times the rom, first time I played with the settings and flashed update just to make sure once again that I was not mistaken... and second time I reflashed to have all from scratch and to print these screenshots.

I didn't change anything regarding that Alliance logo. I just didn't get into customizations this time, just tested those aspects.

Nevermind...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
I know what you mean. The battery icon is slightly darker then wifi and signal. If I change the battery colour its darker then the colour you pick.

Doesnt both me mind.

On a side note. If you have stock battery but with % then the text is the same colour as wifi and signal.

See screen shot.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Well it would appear some noob wannabe dev left the stock blue battery icon in instead of changing it to white....:silly:
