Just grab the boot image from the rom zip, place on sdcard and flash with rom customizer....

Oh how are you doing mate. Nice to see you here as well. Yep I have to confirm this as well. Images quality is worse for me even on daylight images unfortunately.

replace camera, but no difference. :confused:

I take pics with 8mpx but poor quality.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Did it replace properly? Try uninstalling with RC first then flash again please
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cswarrior:
hey can anyone else on the rom try the app floating notifications and report if the floating circle icon is correctly displayed?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hooliganx:
yes. did the process through R / C.

now uninstalled by R / C, restarted the phone and installed it again via R / C. but now the camera is gone! :)

not appeared more!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Ok, using a file explorer drop the new app in /system/app and then click on it to install
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hooliganx:
okay.

I copied the file, pasted it in the folder system / app and gave permissions, rebooted and the camera turned to look and work.

but comparing the picture quality and zoom between Note 2 and S2, the S2 still has better pictures. in my company, I have S2, S3 and Note 2. and the Note 2 is now the camera that has worse quality. :(

I'm testing mainly photos in low light environment, with and without flash, highest quality (8mpx) and after taking the photo, apply zoom to get a definition of letters and some pictures, since here we use the camera phone to take pictures of papers, exams and injuries of some customers.

I noticed these changes when I started using the V3 ...

before had compared the pictures of Note 2 to the S2 and quality patient was infinatamente higher. Now, no more.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Thats strange mate...the apk you just installed was from v1...will put stock in OTA until we can work out whats going on...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hooliganx:
ok!

also found it strange, because I had changed the camera by V1, V2 and Stock, but still, I could not picture quality as before. hence some documents that took a photo and turned into pdf were not as readable as before.

but I'm waiting for good news.

trust in the work of you! and I know there are other good ROM's, but definitely ALLIANCE is unique, different and catchy!

incredibly grateful for the attention and dedication Sparky! :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] emannxperia:
1st of all, thanks OP for the awesome update. Been on AllianceROM from v1, and running v3.1 since OP post the update, and here are my feedback..

The best rom so far since i bought my Note2, 2 months back. Tried most of the other rom, both aosp & sammy, yet end up with this rom (again & again & again) due to its awesomeness level. :D

Running it with perseus's 36.6, only got few issue;

1. Stuck at weird twrp recovery, with display (screen size) half of what it should and it also display twrp v2.2.0. All of the twrp option (wipe, mount, flash zip & even reboot) gives an error. I will try to get the screenshot if the issue appear again, and hopefully it will not. Since i'm new with samsung device, i have no idea what it is.

My solution so far; reflash other recovery. It only success after trying for a number of times. Later on, i get a new v3.1 zip (different download), clean install (with full wipe) and the issue is gone, assuming the issue is caused by the first v3.1 zip that i've downloaded (a bad zip). :eek:

2. ROM customizer does not boot the phone after flashing an update zip. And maybe, just maybe it is related to my first issue.

Wipe cache & data of ROM customizer then uninstall it. Reboot & redownload it (an updated version). It will function normally after getting root access (su).

Done with issue.

So here i want to share few things i use for my version of v3.1. Hopefully OP is okay with is. (Please say yes... :laugh:)

Inverted Blue apps, a perfect combination. Here a few links, don't forget to thanks the OP there.

[14th June]Inverted Holo Blue[PlayStore][YTube][GMail][DBox][Chrome][GNow][Cal]

[MOD][ICS|JB][Inverted|Normal] Multi DPI Play Store v4.1.10

AOSP icon pack. I prefer AOSP look better than stock, so i made one based on VRtheme. Mostly it will replace the stock icon (as seen in drawer). Also for camera, the interface is totally got aosp'sified.

AllianceV3.1_aosp_iconpack_16june-signed.zip - same as attachment

Make a full backup before flashing this, just in case.

V6 supercharger, amazing script by zeppelinrox, will further increase the smoothness of v3.1. So i patched the service.jar so u will get 100% supercharged.

update-v3.1-supercharged-signed.zip - just a patched service.jar

More info & how-to, go to this thread:

[V6BlackDog] Hey Hey Launcher,sed The Way U mv,Gonna make U Fast,Gonna make U $mooth!

My personal V6 setting, i disabled 3Gturbocharger & build.prop tweak.

Conclusions, thanks for your time & hard work, providing us with a super-awesome rom. :D :laugh:

Keep it up. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Thaks for that dude, does sound like you have big time recovery issues. Instead of grabbing the rom again, search xda for the latest twrp and flash via zip or odin...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ushkakaka:
i have big batt drain issue after v3,1 + perseus 36.3. any settings required after flashing perseus kernel?

thx for the advice
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] emannxperia:
The twrp issue appear twice. First when i first updating from v3 to v3.1, no full wipe, include kernel+recovery+modem. I trimmed few apps with rom customizer. When reboot, it stuck at that weird twrp mod. The issue does not happen b4 i flash the v3.1. Flashed twrp v2.4.4.0 zip and the issue is gone. Second time it happen after 2 days, the phone suddently freeze, blank screen, but i still recieve sms notification. Use triple button combo to reboot, and stuck again at that twrp.

The trimmed apps are google+sammy app (safe to remove). None system related are removed.

The issue happen before & after i flashed new twrp, that should eliminate the recovery problem.

Flashing second v3.1 zip (different download) seem to eliminate the issue, so far.

And that second v3.1 zip, i did not redownload it, i got it from my brother in law, another Note2 AllianceRom user.:D

Also, what 'image resizer' app actually does? It is default in rom, but i fail to find its usage/function? Try and error gives me just error. lol

Edit:

[MENTION=3224652]ushkakaka[/MENTION]

No need to quote the whole post. Took some time to scroll down when using tapatalk. :p

No specific kernel tweak, just basic/small adjustment with stweak. I just decrease the zram swappiness to 60 in io. Enable master sequence in display, as for audio, eargasm 12, 8, 4, 2, 3 db.

I use rom toolbox to disable all my games autostart.

Then i use greenify (xposed module enabled) to hibernate few apps. Only hibernate system app that are not crucial to the rom function, leave it if u are not sure.

Then disable sync, app notification (selective), app background data (selective), location (enable only when needed). Even if the app drain only a little amount of your battery, imagine if u have 50+ or even 100+ apps. And the apps are draining it continously, even if u does not open/start it.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
2 alliance users in the family...nice!!! ;)

Image resizer allows you to crop and set wallpaper for the drop down background...unfortunately it doesn't work with stock kernel but with most custom kernels I believe :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tinklerj:
I went to install stock values for volume from ota via rom customizer and ran into a soft brick. I have restored my phone now all up running again. Now I have reflashed o am running the aosp lock screen and cannot get rid of the touchwiz wallpaper @ lock how do I solve this.

Have sorted lockscreen. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Aumkar:
I dunno if this question has been asked or not, but in v3.1, have the signal icons showing data usage been aligned? They're misaligned on v3.0, which I'm running. Bothers my OCD, but for now, I've been running on wifi most of the time so it's aligned properly there.

Also, any way to change the AOKP lockscreen shortcuts..? Or was that fixed in 3.1?

Its the same apps used from V1 to v3.1 .

Anybody else facing unusual battery drain compared to older versions?

I'm facing unusual good battery life here with redpill kernel.

My only problem is bad images quality on stock v3.1 camera. Any solutions for it yet?

Edit:

I have solved problem with camera meanwhile by installing Camera JB+ app from play store. JB+ gives my bettet images quality than camera zoom fx and much better then stock one.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tinklerj:
Can you get into recovery? If not you will have to reflash a stock firmware with odin. You will still have download mode. Hope this helps. If you still have recovery just reflash from there.:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I can understand the "Back to Stock" and probable loss of Root--but why would it mess up the Phone?? It's just a stock Samsung Firmware, surely??

I don't intend to Flash it--but I already downloaded it from SamMobile as a resource, if ever I have problems and need to flash with ODIN--am I taking any sort of risk in doing this--i.e. reverting to Stock??

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Do you mean that you just don't open the on board camera and, instead, take photos with this app--Camera JB+--or, does it do anyhting to existing on board camera ?

I'm sorry to say that I went back to V.3 [ which is great still] because of picture quality of camera on V.3.1--this would be a great reason to restore my v.3.1 Nandroid backup.

signal, wifi, battery images

hey guys - i pulled this from my S1 mods to change things up a little (fits good on my at&t alliance-fied n2, don't know if the padding has been tweaked on V3.1???)

if you wanna add a bit of multi-color, have at it (and be sure to set all 3 to white in the respective color pickers ;) ) OR better yet, use it as a template to make/pull over your own. it took me a whole whopping 20 minutes to make this zip from existing images. there's better stuff out there than stock or mine...it'd be nice to see some here! (and let me know if it's a FAIL on V3.1 and i'll remove it. i didn't wanna bug Mr. Sparky with this as he's busy enough :p )
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
I was referring to the ota method of updating, a user did it on Alliance forum once, results weren't good....

Going back to v3 because of the camera was a pointless thing to do, the camera is the same in v3 and v3.1. stock unmodded camera is up in ota.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Sweet...thanks Mikey, soon as someone reports back, I'll get them in ota...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Absolutely mate, I will get around to adding the flash on low battery mod etc soon :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
As according to SamMobile 4.2.2 will be ready in Q3 (so we'll have to wait a while) and new build DME6 have battery drain fixes and also some stability and bug fixes do you guys consider cooking a version based on this build? I think it would be a great idea... nothing extra to add, just keep the 3.1 rom recipe. ;)

Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
I have that firmware running now....if it pans out ok we will deffo release a base....cant guarantee a full rom though
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
That would be more than enough, mate..;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] GregX80:
No I have deleted stock camera and use camera jb+. I'm amateur photographer all my life so I know something about it. I installed stock camera from OTA jb+ camera and camera zoom fx (last two from play store) and compared images quality from all of them. Jb+ gives the best images quality form me at least - im not saying this because of I know people who develop this camera or something it is just so it is for me. So I have deleted two others now and I have only two galleries - because if I delete stock gallery wallpaper on aosp lockscreen goes to Samsung stock one and there is no way to change it. Second gallery installs automatically from jb+ camera.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] j3tt3:
Works well..

Flashed back the v3SignalAndWifiStock and and battery icon remains..

I like it. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mikeymopar:
cool, thx for letting me know it works with the existing padding.

and also, the battery images are in a different systemUI folder so they won't change with the "stock" zip that you used. if there isn't a stock battery zip in OTA let me know and i'll put one together :cool:

edit: ahhh hell....here's the original zipped up in case it's not in the OTA...i wouldn't be able to get to this today, gotta get to work so i did it now :eek:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hooliganx:
very good your information. grateful. but it's sad not to have such a good quality in stock camera. with many features of photo and video. :( one of the items that attracted me to the note2 was also the quality of the camera (I compared with S2 and S3 and found better). but also will test the JB + as reported. thankx!

Great rom

But i have a problem and a question

First the problem as you can see from the first picture this happens in many places where all the text is white! if i hold on the text to highlight it, i can see it which is a pain, i hope there's a fix

Sec the virus detection, this is the first time i find a rom with a virus flag from Avira

The file in question is MobileTrackerEngineTwo.apk

No worries its in the (uninstalled) folder, but my question is why would a system app gets flagged by so many AV's? (looking at VirusTotal scan report)

And should I be worried?

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
This has, I believe, been asked [ by myself and some others] and I believe been answered--several pages back.

The answer is in Custom Settings,Text Colour. I believe background is white and text is white/transparent--that's why it seems invisible.

I think 'InTents' explained it much better a few pages back.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Thanks for this--I have been allowing Avast Mobile Security to delete this ever since it was found, after several restores of system.

Thanks to your link I now know what it is--and what not to do with it.It might actually have a very useful purpose--maybe.

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

I see, so its not really being merged into temp.zip. because of that i have to download it one at a time and install it after every download. Hmmmm...

Im using CWM. installation using RC always fail.

All is well actualy, no FCs. No lags. responces are quick.

Im testing battery life now by heavy browsing becuase im using wifi and data a lot while at work. Though i already drained some juice becuase i did some customization that needs reboot to take effect.

Over all so far so good. Im loving it. :D

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] comnam90:
I'll be honest, I have tested OTA completely with CWM, so that may be the issue there. I know that flashing with RC does try to pass through open recovery scripts to TWRP, which is why we recommend TWRP, so this may be why it is failing. Or if your using official CWM then it doesnt allow unsigned commands to be passed through (Ie. third party apps like RC).

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bengalli:
Results of 2 full days experience;

* I must say that Rom Customizer is a problem, i hope it will be good next releases.

* I didn't see any bug or FC's (only minor battery style changing problem, but it is acceptable)

* No freezing, random reboots

* Speed acceptable, very fast, sometimes a little laggy during scrolling (settings etc.) But it is acceptable too, no problem. It can solve cpu and governor tweaks.

* GPS performance very good, light and efficient gps.conf file. (Default is europe) it locks fast( indoor about 8 sec, outdoor 3 sec., in car with 140km/h. about 5 sec. and 4-6m. accuracy)

* No problem BT, Wifi, Mobile Data

* AOSP ui is good and additional setting possibilities very usefull.

And finally battery performance;

* 2d 0h 30m. total (100% >> 21% )

* Screen time : 4h 5m (31%)

* Wifi, data, sync, rotate, some motions always on day&night,

* 15m. calling (it is my new record :laugh:

* Maildroid and a few app. (linkedin, fb, weather etc.) always sync (3 accounts, push)

* And using other apps (tapatalk, internet, etc)

* Betterbatterystats say battery drain is 1,6%/h ( about 62h. total ) :good::good::good:

Conclusion;

As a normal user, very very liked this rom. It is working without problem all day, satisfactory using experiences,

Special differences from other roms are good AOSP experience, additional settings&customizations, and very good battery performance.

It can be use for daily rom,

Edit : There is stock/default kernel. I didn't try redpill or perseus, maybe later...

Edit2 : I finally plug in charger after 55h. (It was 13%)

So guys im a bit confused im coming from omega v11 cwm 6.0.1.5 from xiaolu can a do it my way full wipe(data factory reset, chache and dalvik chache) in cwm and then installing it whit rom customizer or should I just installing it whit rom customizer im afraid that is gone fail to properly install whit rom customizer
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Giocarro:
Flyboy21, if I'm not mistaken the best path to follow is to copy the ROM's ZIP to the *internal* SD card, then install ROM Customizer and start the flash from there.

Beware: if you copy the ZIP to external SD you'll loose some customization options.
