[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
Just tried this. Changed my pin no problem?

Not quite sure what to suggest. I'm guessing you tried things like a reboot or wipe the cache and dalvik in recovery?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ph10m:
Oh, that's weird. I've tried all of the above, including reflashing. I just got a new sim-card so that might be the issue here.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jmrgb:
I have this problem.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abu46:
Well alliance is the best! No doubt

Should i reflash with or without wipe to get rid of the bad flash, coz coming from the aosp rom i did a full wipe.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Try a no wipe first, if the problems persist try a full wipe....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] gabamoner:
If I install an app in the system will it be removed after factory reset??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:

After one day I move back to PAC ROM even I preferd the alliance one because it keep all Sammy / spen features. But it was far away from being stable. Swipe lock move to some strange positions where it is not possible to unlock then and also it freeze often in some streaming apps. Any ideas what could be the reason? On PAC everything is rock solid!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
You will come back eventually. :D I use Alliance for many months now and I never had the problem you mentioned. In fact, if I think twice, I didn't quite have problems. :) If I did do you think I would have sticked to this for so long? ;) I myself tried every existing AOSP rom for Note 2 (being an AOSP look/style lover), but they lack the Samsung goodies, which really prove useful at some point.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Did you reflash the rom as I suggested. Those updates you flashed could be causing the issues...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SeoTFSI:
Hi guys i have a little problem with this wanderful rom.

When i lock The screen in landscape mode, the phone crash.

Have You the same problem?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Dude...please read or search the thread, for the 100,000th and last time I will ask/answer this, have you disabled ripple effect when not using ripple lock?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I don't think that you should use such a sweeping generalisation as this- there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people running this Alliance ROM and no one would agree that it is "far away from being stable"-something you have done has caused your problems. Sorry for being so blunt.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
It seems you missunderstand me. I just say it was not stable in MY phone. I choice it because it sounds very reliable and so I was surprised about the problems I had and ask for possible reasons and get an answer by sparky b that make sense for me. If my post makes you feel that it was generally negative about this ROM, I just can say SORRY. I like a lot all its features and for sure I will give it a second chance! I know that most issues like mine are user and not ROM related.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
I'll be honest, I was an Apple guy for a solid couple of years. Not least because my first touchscreen device was an iPod Touch 3G. A while later, with an epiphany or two, and I get myself a Note 2. IOS to Android. One of the most seamless transfers and sensible decisions I made. I had already jailbroken my idevice and got to know the ways of the smartphone and, mainly, how to get stuff for free. Because I can.

So I started looking in the same direction for my Note 2. Rooting, I found, was the answer. But that was not enough. ROMS were part of a whole new dimension I was completely unaware of. Naturally, I had to delve in deeper and started flashing ROMS willy-nilly. Bad mistake. Before I'd done messed up real bad, I experienced about 4 ROMS ranging from minimal super light-weights to almost identical stock-like ROMS with even more functionally to boot. Few things became clear. Some of the Samsung features are pretty useful and pretty much vital for this phone. And some fun extra toggles, within the limits of sanity, are awesome. And then I came upon Alliance.

Astonishingly well-executed, brilliant aesthetics, phenomenal range of customisations and still maintains core Samsung features. Couldn't really ask for more. Well, I mean I could... But that'd be plain greedy. And that's I love Alliance ROM. Just about the perfect balance functionality of its customisations as well as usability without forfeiting much. Just can't wait for 4.2 or even 4.3 version of this in the distant future in a galaxy far, far away...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Well put, indeed-- I must agree that I did originally mistake your post as possible criticism of the Alliance ROM for Note 2--and now, I stand corrected.

Good luck to you in sorting out your issues.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Thanks for those very kind words....but please, don't use the 'a' word!!!:eek::D:laugh::silly:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
Just go for a new clean flash, as romcontroll don't work for me, I boot into cwm, wipe data and cache and dalvik cache and format system. Then I flash the ROM and wipe cache and dalvik cache again and reboot again. Do you think this way it should work ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I don't know what ROM Control is--better use ROM Customizer--

If you read the previous pages, on quite a few of them, it has been said that doing it this way will 'probably' work, but you don't have the control over what gets installed--everything gets installed--if you now, Re-Flash using ROM customizer you can choose if you want Samsung Apps, Fonts, Recovery, Kernel etc.. just using cwm [or better still TWRP ]you get the whole package--like I say, it's been covered on previous pages many times.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
Ups I meant ROM customizer, sorry. When used it last time the flash never finished so I used this time the more basic old school way while knowing that it flash the full package then. So far everything runs smooth and fine as it should be :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
That's good then, some people do report freezing with ROM Customizer but you could download a clean install from Playstore and then install the ROM how you want.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Actually, that's a very good point!! I've included an older version in the rom cause it has the back up facility still built in. Might be time to lose that and put the updated rc in...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
If it helps, the flash via ROM customizer (loaded from play store before flashing) freeze in the last stage when it install all the apps. The rest before went fine.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
When this happened to me some time ago Goldieking suggested just remove battery and reboot at that point, if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
So far the ROM runs very stable now. Seems that the updates was the problem. Wouldn't it make sense if the ROM customizer only offer updates that people need with checking the version running on the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Kinda....but they do say v3.... ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
Haha yes that's true, was just an idea but I guess its not easy to realize. I will keep my eyes more open next time.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] legionxx:
Hi sparky b, was wondering if you think its a good idea to add "Internet Speed Meter" option onto your next rom? I thought it'd be cool. But your the boss, we'll gladly take whatever you add or remove on the next one, so no rush and all :good: many thanx for the wonderful rom and certainly looking forward to the next one. :victory:

So far the ROM is rock stable but my son activate pattern lock today and end up in the same problem we see before.

I hope you can see what's happen on the picture I add. Same happens when using pin to lock the phone. Can the lmt launcher be the reason? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
I'm using the pattern lock currently (simply because no other lock screen app, widgetlocker included, can be as stable as the 'stock') and I'm running on Nova launcher and I've not had that problem at all. My phone is N7100 (note 2) and it's been through a whole lot of crap in my hands (literally and metaphorically) but it seems to work well at least at that part.

Could either be problem with your launcher (you should give Nova a go as well if you're using Alliance) or could be a problem with dpi settings since the off-the-screen problem.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
I reported this before. I think sparky was going to look into it.For the recorded I'm using nova launcher with a fresh install etc.

I find it only does it maybe once a day and it's normally if my phone goes to sleep with an app open on the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
It's the layout, if you lock in landscape it happens. When it does, just reboot in portrait and it will sort itself out. will be fixed for v4...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhinavsg:
Installed this wonderful ROM on my N7100. Loving it, as I have, the previous versions.

I am on TWRP 2.4.x.x Recovery. Tried flashing the Desktop View Revert & Speaker Boost Revert files on my Phone using the ROM Customizer. Unfortunately that does not happen. Every time I click on the Reboot Option after Flash on ROM Customizer, I am taken to TWRP & it shows the ERROR that the File OtaDownloads/Speaker_boost_revert or the Desktop_view_revert has not been found. Infact when I try to flash the files manually from TWRP, I dont know why but the bloody OtaDownload folder is not shown. God knows why. I even tried copying the Flash files into another folder & flashing them via TWRP but even then, the files dont show up there.

Please help
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] olarf:
OK, thanks for the fast and clear answer. Just to sort out launcher confusion, I use nova launcher too, lmt launcher is just for pie and gesture features, its no general launcher like nova. Maybe it shouldn't be named launcher, its more a app. You can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
Sounds like you have at some point had a ASOP ROM on your device.

If so you need to delete the folder in the root directory called `0` make a back up of it just in case but you shouldn't need anything in it.

TWRP will read that as the root directory instead thus why it can't find the file even after you have moved it :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
try cwm i always had problems with twrp..!!

and try also what the person above me said..! :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abhinavsg:
Yup. I had an AOSP based ROM. Just renamed the folder '0' & that was it.

In the Misc. section of the OTA, what is Stock_Camera update??

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abu46:
Thanks, but what exactly has sparky modified in the camera?

Also in customization settings when I click restart system ui in any options I only get "executed" notification but nothing happens and i have to reboot my device for changes to take effect.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
In my experience, restarting the system ui takes approximately 5 to 10 seconds during which time the status bar at the top disappears and the aforementioned "executed" notification appears, thus signalling that it is in fact working. Soon after, the status bar reappears with your desired changes and what not and the process is done with your customations in place.

I distinctly remember having problems with V3 and how the system ui restart often accomplished the square root of jack and a good ol reboot was in order. However, I've not experienced that problem with V3.1 as of yet.

Here's to progress, eh...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Guys, maybe I did something wrong when customising my device: power saving mode seems to be not working anymore, when I activate it nothing changes as far I as I can see, and I don't see the notification in notification area that informs me that it is active. Any advice? I think I might have involuntarily frozen or deleted a related apk file using titanium to slim up my phone. Is there a particular apk file related to power saving mode?

Cheers and thanks!

Edit: when turning it off and on i don't get any toast notification for this action.. And more importantly frequency stays locked to power brave max frequency even after I turn it off, forcing me to reboot, although I don't get the other benefits related to power save mode such as darker screen!

Transparent status bar? You already have it, just slide the alpha to the left in color picker ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] BenRoark:
I went on a bit of a "tour" of recent-firmware ROMS over the last couple of weeks. User experience / performance was good, but every touch and swipe was a new visual horror ("oh god, there's the Samsung crayola aesthetic again!"). It still blows me away how awesome the theme and theming ability is for this ROM. There is nothing that really comes close.

Sparks, I'm curious about your previous comment about possibly building Alliance on a recent firmware, but keeping a non-problematic kernel and modem. Were you just being playful/flippant? Have you done any initial testing, or not even seriously thinking about it yet?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
Sounds familiar .... I did a bit of a 4.2.2 tour recently as well. Overall I did like it - especially SlimBean. However, I'm back on Alliance for one main reason. Stuff just works! Sure - most things on 4.2.2 is smooth and worry free, but every once in a while you come across something that doesn't and it is just annoying. On the other hand, playing with AOSP roms you get to look at some of the "hot" new features.

* Per app dpi ... I honestly don't see a use for this. I couldn't get Parallel Kingdom looking the same with per app dpi as I can just by setting a rom's dpi to 240, also the pre-set options didn't play nicely with the default launcher in various roms. Imho a rom should work out of the box.

* Pie Control. Different implementations - some good, some not so. LMT still has the most options.

* Halo. Meh, notifications in the status bar work for me.

As BenRoark said though, not much compares to the theming you can do here. Sure, lots of different options for things ... but the bulk of them don't do much thematically.

The journey back to 4.1.2 was interesting, I lost my IMEI due to having the DME4 modem installed. I had 3 efs backups, one was a dd copy of the whole efs partition, another was nandroid (both post dme4 installation) .... and a tar.gz copy of the directory taken when I first rooted the device. I simply un-tarred the tar.gz, rebooted and all is happy again :) :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Hey ben, welcome back mate! I'm currently building v4 and it is based on the dreaded dme6 firmware. Before even taking the base to beta stage I found that leaving out the kernel and modem that was supplied and replacing with slightly older versions there was no loss of imei when moving back to older firmwares. Some users do feel that by me not supplying the latest kernel and modem we are missing out on some of the bug fixes. This might be true, but personally, when I used them I didn't notice anything substancial. Also, as I said before, if users wanna flash the original kernel and modem I won't stop them...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Does this mean that-if we flash a DME6 based ROM, and if using the Stock Kernel and Modem, before going back to earlier firmwares we can avoid imei and efs problems by flashing earlier Kernel and Modem??

Is this correct, as far as you know?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
It means you cant flash a dme6 rom that contains the original kernel and modem...swap them in the rom zip befroe flashing...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xdashao:
Sparky, lets say i flashed alliance v4. then i decided to flash the modem and not the kernel do i lose my imei also when going back to older firmwares? :confused:

Something I've been wondering for a while; is there any way to backup and restore Alliance's custom settings? I ask because when I updated from V3 to V3.1, I began the whole customising process from scratch. Admittedly there were a whole more options and features and stability improvement but the fact remains that I had to change every little detail like the notification panel background colour to my preference and xid really like to not have to go through that again in the future if it can be avoided. Hence, is there any of backing up and restoring those custom settings that I do not know of yet or should I just note down all hex colour codes on a piece of paper before I flash any future updates...?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
There is an app being developed for v4 that will back up colors etc. Also v4 will have the option to link most colors in one go...but for now you'll have to make a note

Is there a option to make the statusbar transparent or is it possible to use the s4 theme with the transparent statusbar and white clock etc.?

Is there a option to get the real touchwiz theme besides the oasp theme?

Tnx in advanced. I love the many options that you have to customize the ROM, good job! Ur the only one doing this as far as I know.
