Or you do as I do ... and when you get flashing fever due to an imminent release, flash around. And when v4 comes out flash that and be satisfied with the knowledge that you've tried the rest, sated your flashing desire (the rom's, not the other kind of flashing), and are back on something Alliance :)

Recently I've tried:

4.3 - SlimBean. Nice. I tried Beta2 - not all the features had been merged yet though, and there's the graphical glitches all 4.3 roms are having. Beta 3 has since come out

4.2.2 - CarbonRom. One of the nicer 4.2.2 roms I've tried

4.2.2 - LiquidSmooth. Not bad, but something put me right off it. Damned it I can remember what though...

4.2.2 - Rootbox. Didn't last long - I couldn't find a way to disable the navbar, which I dislike completely

4.1.2 - XNote. I tried installing this, but the aroma installer hung at the same place 3 seperate times

So yeah, I'm still sitting here with 3.1 installed waiting patiently for v4 :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
I was reading around thinking about taking the opportunity of the full wipe needed for Alliance 4 t try something for a day or two while waiting for it... But I found out that the will to try is put right off by the affection I have for Alliance Rom, which is rock solid and full of everything except bugs and quirks. Who wants amateurish roms without continuity in development or without support and infested with bugs or useless rubbish when you can have a safe harbour as this rom?? ;)

Let's go back to waiting then, and please do not put pressure on sparky, especially if he has his own things to do and care about!

Couldn't agree more :)

Hear Hear!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
:D I am barely getting to enjoy my 3.1... between some v4 testing sessions. :D

Now, seriously, still some things to be done guys... so you'll have to wait a little more if you want it to be bug free. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] BenRoark:
Hang on... are you saying that Sparky is a person??? With, like, red blood and a social life and relationships and everything? I was under the distinct impression that Sparky was a single-purpose machine that existed purely to provide us with awesome free stuff for our phone... WTF???

:D hahaha that made my day! ;):laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] santoosh:
Would it be possible to have a back up option in the custom settings of the alliance rom?

That's the only feature I feel thats missing.

Backup and restore of custom settings.

Awesomeness. Thanks

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Lol. Its from s2. Im not sure if its in v4 or not. T-pip made it. I assume its portable so who knows ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Let's wait for sparky to chime in.. Maybe he'll tell us something more... Or maybe not, and we'll have to discover it by ourselves! :P

Not that hard, I hope... :D I just wanted everything to be perfect for N7100 AllianceRom users.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fatihaktas1988:
Why is v4 not xxdmg1? It is not better than the other firmware version?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Why better? Is it new? You realise alliance isnt just a "whack a few mods in over a day or so" type of rom and takes weeks to build right?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fatihaktas1988:
I feel xxdmg 1 is better than xxdme6 and yes it one of the newest firmwares...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Mate, please be aware that "feels better" is by no mean a sure or scientific statement...especially if you're just a common and enthusiastic user (like me) and not a professional developer or Android expert. And remember that newer isn't always necessarily better!!

Note 2 N7100 - Alliance Rom DMA6 - Perseus Kernel
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I have read that XXdmg 1 is very little change from XXdme6 plus there are lag issues.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] asad510:
Cant we all agree that sparky knows his s#*t
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fatihaktas1988:
I think so too he will make the best rom for us:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
does Xtheme engine works for this rom ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
No doubt guys. Alliance Rom rulez!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Not sure mate, back up and give it a try...let us know how you get on :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] asad510:
Yo sparky how close are we if you dont mind me asking? Days? Hours?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
I might need a couple of volunteers tomorrow night...but hopefully in next 48 hours

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] JezzeB:
Got a quick question, is the neak-Sammy kernel like the stock kernel? I flashed Perseus 4 days ago but its giving me battery drain even when not overclocked.

Or should I try a another one? Tnx fellas!

Alliance Rom it is!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] waardeloos:
Sounds like this weekend. :good:

Thanks sparky

Ceep it stable
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tupirujp:
Can i just do a full wipe and flash v3.1 on twrp ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Don't think there's a point to be honest mate.

As you can see everybody is waiting for v4.0.

Hopefully it will come soon as I'm exhausted waiting. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tupirujp:
Ahhh ok so an update its coming ? Well my questions was just that a question ... because I have philz recovery ... so do I just do a full wipe and then flash it right ? ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Use a rom customizer app from app store.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
For best results install twrp recovery and rom customizer app from play store first ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] JezzeB:
Please

Alliance Rom it is!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] The Lostprophet:
I found perseus to have amazing battery life. Used to get 3 days easy. Our 2 days with about 7-8 hours screen on. I found it needed a battery calibration after install and took about a week to settle down.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] JezzeB:
O really? Just flashed red pill see how that 1 goes. Maybe I have to wait for it to settle down yes

Alliance Rom it is!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Full rom now with testers, if all good it should be up tonight! Start twrp nandroids and efs back ups :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:

1 last question, wat if i dont backup n directly install after factory reset n wipin cache n dalvick?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] BenRoark:
Just do it, man. It's really not that much effort to backup... and it's always safer to have one.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aamir2day:
No space on my memory card dude, that's wat's bothering me
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Its fine not to backup. Just dont complain here if you lose everything for some reason
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aamir2day:
What everything bro?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Anything you dont backup. Jeez man. Just either backup and flash or dont backup and dont complain if you lose any/every thing. Simple.

You could have done it in the time u been posting here anyway....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:
You could have backed up 3 times by now:D

How about losing Imei and thus effectively loosing your phone:rolleyes:

Just do the nandroid:cool:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
It's your choice...but you could loose imei...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] D_Magic:
Wanna try this rom, now on phoenix v13 dmf2 baseband dme4 ( bought the note 2 months ago so don't have backups of older firmwares )

What version is v4 build from? Safe to flash o without losing imei?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] radium56ad:
hi is the modem xxdlk7 or did you use an older kernel as i m still using stock rooted xxdmc3 thanks in advance for the answer
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
It's dme6 but without the kernel or modem that came with the firmware. Install twrp recovery and then Rom Customizer from play, then install via Rom Customizer with install modem un-ticked

You must back up efs and twrp back up before installing and you also need to wipe

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

Nope, it's dlk5, if you wanna keep yours do as i suggested above ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] D_Magic:
I made a efs backup whit terminal emulator when i rooted the phone, i'm on philz recovery and already have a backup to restore..i can use philz to right?

So when flashing with rom customizer i untick flash modem..also untick flash kernel so things match ( on persues now ) cause it's dme6 without the kernel?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
You don't need to keep the kernel but can if you want. To do that you need twrp not Philz...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Amazing work again:D Thanks to all of you in AllianceROM team. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
It's working with Philz too. :D I use this recovery... damn, my big mouth can't keep a secret... :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] D_Magic:
To do that i need twrp not philz...you mean to keep the kernel or to flash the rom ( i don't need to keep the kernel..i can always flash a kernel later )
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
You can keep the kernel or not.. you have options when flashing via rom customizer. If you flash directly from recovery (no matter which one) you will lose those options and everything the zip file contains will be automatically installed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cris7ianO:
I am on sotmax v10 right now dme6 with dmg1 modem... I make nandroid...

Can i simply flash with Rom customizer? And in case i would lose imei just restore and its back to normal?

This imei thing is scaring the **** out of me :rolleyes:

Or should i install older Firmware via Odin and then flash v4 to be safe?

I am pretty satisfied with newest modem and adam 2.7 so really would like alliance v4 with dmg1 and Adam 2.7 just dont want to screw up my phone :D

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
I see there is edge zoom in general mods. It doesn't seem to work or am i doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
do your back ups then flash with rom customizer - untick kernel and modem :)

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Hi Sparky b, I too, like Chris7ian have been trying out SotMax V10, which is DMe6, I have efs backups on SD card and PC, but why do we need to 'untick' Kernel and Modem--surely the ones installed with the new Alliance v.4 should be 'good to go'? Or are you just 'covering your arse', so to speak?

Or.........is it, [which is more likely] because you have incorporated a Kernel/Modem combination that is pre-DMe6 to get around the efs problem??

Sorry, My Bad, just read your post (for the second time) and you say it's DMe6 Firmware without Kernel or Modem.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Hey sparky b, any idea where to look for md5 checksum for v.4 ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tupirujp:
So where do I grab a modem and what kernel will be better to use ... im in usa California
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I guess the question is--what Firmware are you on currently??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
md5 487d58cab614d32b909c599f7fe3d68f :)

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Ok, let's try and clear this up :)

The firmware is dme6 with kernel and modem from earlier frimwares. This enables users that have not flashed dme6/dmf2/dmg1 etc to flash rom and not risk loosing their imei if they roll back to older firmwares. For users that have already flashed dme6 etc simply install with rom customizer and un-tick install modem and kernel and keep the ones you're currently on.

It's the modem/kernel (mainly modem) that are causing imei issues when rolling back to older firmware....

Also, for now do not flash any of the toggle mods from ota as they are for 23 toggle mod, you now have 24 (added 2g/3g) batteries/signals/backgrounds are all good

I will try to get some extra modems up on ota too :)

Also, on first boot your power menu will only show sound options. Go to Custom Settings/Power Menu and toggle the options you want, some may already be selected so simply unselect and reselect.... Screen shot in power menu now works too :D

For changelog, until op is updated check this:

Hi Sparky,

Thanks for your work, it took 3 wipes and flashes to get things working but now everything is running great..really like the customizing options.

I'm trying to change the ics color theme to the honeycomb theme and there are a couple things i am not able to change or i can't find them so now i have a mix of ics-honeycomb theme

Any idea how i can set everything to honeycomb color?

Edit: the first picture with the dialer it magicly changed after posting this so now everything is in honeycomb color
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
First pic is dialer color, after setting color long press home button and swype dialer away to restart it...

Second pic, you cant change that yet...

Third pic, thats a google app, we don't touch those cause they're always being updated...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] D_Magic:
Thanks

first pic solved

Second pic not able to change yet...so it's coming :D

Third pic no problem...second pic would be nice to change so everything matches.

Last question...how to change the last pic
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Yet again, not at the moment, but if anyone wants to make some different colored ones for ota... ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] PrettyJAE.swag:
Hey sparky, can you post some screenshots of the new version please? :) Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
After a frew bad days im here too!! Just downloaded and flashed ! But how comes that if i flash through rom customizer and twrp recovery even if i choose alliqnce theme i still get stock? For example settings screen shouldnt be aosp like instead of coloured samsung style? Am i doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cris7ianO:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
That's stock theme...try reflash no wipe
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Already done this through rom customizer and twrp directly to no avail...still stock!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Is download ok? you're not flashing beta by mistake?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Vreestyle:
.

Flashed v4 this morning.

Love it! even more customisable features :good::good::good:

Had to flash twice though.... 1st time I also checked: flash with alliance theme. but it flashed stock theme.

(flashed without modem en kernel, Perseus is fine for me :p)

Could that be TWRP messin around, I've got 3 versions of that.

2.4.2.0

2.5.0.0

2.6.0.1 Which one do you recommend?

Last question:

Are we able to change the order of the stoch toggles? if so, how?

Overall: Excellent new ROM!!!

Keep it up!! Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Yes. Just like with stock rom in display settings/notification panel
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Ok I managed to do it! Had to flash something like ten times but in the end it went for good! Everything looks ok, but I don't know why if I try to edit files is /system, solid Explorer tells me that I can't modify and system partition is not RW mounted..

But, mostly, my status bar disappears if I change to 240 di, which on v 1 worked perfectly! I just edited build prop as usual, reboot and all is well; but then, when I edit something in custom settings and reboot system ui, it disappears and don't reappear!! Again, with v1 it all worked flawlessly.

Someone already tried 240 dpi and can tell something about this issue?

Cheers, alliance rom rocks!!

Thanks man!! I'm using 2.6.0.1, had no issues so far ;)

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Try rebooting to sort out mounting issue...don't know about dpi, not tried it...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Vreestyle:
D'oh....

Knew that... had to dig deep.... never run stock, that's probably the issue :P

Whahahaha
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] squicky:
I tried flashing with wipe and also got stockish look. But then I decided to flash on top of mine restored v3.1 and got AOSP look and pretty much most of the things worked without any issue. I had to do some tweaking because in custom settings some options were OFF even when they should be ON (probably because I didn't do wiping and they overlapped) but for the few hours I'm using the ROM I'm really happy seeing that it works very smooth.

Some time ago I asked for download meter and here it is :) BIG THX for this :)

For now only one thing still doesn't work for me. Air view (or preview on hover) using pen in messaging app (I mean SMS, not email) is still not working. It works for video, calendar, email and music apps though. THX AGAIN :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
No wipe means no new stock toggles, flashlight, hotspot and airplane mode....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] squicky:
I don't know about stock, because I don't use it but in AOSP theme I got 2G/3G/Auto, Airplane, etc. I think I got all of it and they work :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
If anyone manages to make systenUI (status bar) survive 240 dpi please let me know! ;)

Moreover, may I ask if there is a way to have the stock messaging app with the look of v1 (much more holo like) and maybe 7 quick toggles selectable (again, this was already in v1!)

Ill test again tomorrow if I have enough time. Unluckily me and my girlfriend had to deal with an unpleasant theft in her house, she is still nervous and so my planned beta testing and flashing weekend has been postponed to today or tomorrow :(

Edit: if someone is willing to help, try setting build. Prop to 240 dpi (there are two values to change, beware to modify them both, and then modify something in custom settings. Try to reboot only the ui using the option in custom settings and see what happens. I can't get my status bar back even after rebooting, have to full wipe...

Ok guys never mind my previous post about issues with system ui. It's not related to altered dpi.

I flashed with wipe, skipped first setup, just modified some of the colors and custom setting to my liking, reboot, bam! Status bar gone forever. Have to wipe and flash again.

Probably a bad download I guess? I'll try again and keep you posted tomorrow evening.
