Thanks for v8 Trent. Never a dull moment with Alliance! Installed perfectly and running smooth as always.

Does the Netflix app work on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
It works fine for me. I've never had a problem with Netflix on Alliance. Are you running Alliance and having problems or just checking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BornDroid:
Works fine here. I used over LTE last weekend and streamed just perfectly

Where can I find an appropriate gapps apk for this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic Penguin:
No need for GApps on TW roms, they're baked in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Thanks! I like the lense flare unlock effect but have noticed that if I make many changes to the lockscreen, I cant get it back. I'd like a different picture than balloons and also not have it say Life Companion. Any insight there? liking it so far!

I cannot download the rom. The version 8 link keeps failing. Do I download v7 and then flash it along with the RevertS4 theme zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
Go into your apps and select s4 lockscreen app. You can customize the s4 lockscreen from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
+1.

I've tried installing other email APKs for this functionality but they keep failing for my Exchange account.... =/ I need one to work or I won't be able to use this rom.

There are a bunch of settings there but so far none have had the same flare look?

Edit: nvm, got them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I can almost guarantee you are trying to install the apks the wrong way. Anyways, I've made a flashable for you. Just flash in recovery and you will have your email . https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryl5hnkogolilat/AllianceRomv8_SecEmail.zip

On the issue of tag buddy in gallery, does anyone know exactly what would make gallery fc when the option is enabled? Is something vital missing that Im just not seeing? I can't seem to figure that one out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] QBall45:
Nice job on this rom. Question, I'm not a fan of the transparency framework. Is there a flashable zip somewhere that'll bring it back to more of the stock look?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xlxfoxxlx:
If ya check the downloads on the OP theres a download for transperancy options. To be nice here is the link. http://d-h.st/VtG

Flash in recovery and in aroma there is options for different transperancies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] QBall45:
Thx. Unfortunately this isn't what I'm referring to. That file only changes the transparency 100/75/50/25% it doesn't revert to stock looking framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xlxfoxxlx:
Ahh was thinking there was an option to disable transparent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rd1rjf9ze6nlngm/Framework Transparency.zip <--- I added a 0% just for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
I changed the color of the signal bars through rom customization and now it doesn't show at all even after reboot. Other than restoring / reclaiming, is there some way to fix that?

Edit : check your alpha levels. Fixed.

Battery Life

Hows this ROM do with battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
I have about the same battery life with Alliance that I have with any TW rom. Everybody's opinion is different. Flash for yourself and see.

WI FI

I just flashed this rom and Now I can't connect to any WI Fi. I usually connect right away at my house but now it just shows obtaining IP address. Has anyone had this problem on this rom and is there a fix that I can use. I like the rom looks really good so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stryver:
Hi trent, I absolutely love this rom, but I keep getting wierd # texts from vzw. I deactivated the backup service long ago and rechecked to make sure I dont have it. Some how im still receiving these texts about every 20 minutes. Any ideas on how to get it to stop? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
And me! Thank you for this. My eyes have trouble with transparency lol.

Is anyone having issues with the screen not turning on in a phone call? If I am leaving a voicemail I have to pull the battery to end the call. Any suggestions?

been running Beans 22 with Perseus and getting amazing battery, roughly what are you getting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I had better battery life on beans until build 22. This rom is OK but battery life is an issue for me. I used to get 16 hours but on beans 22 and alliance I'm lucky to get 9 hours. But I'm a heavy user so my battery use may be different than yours. Beans standby is awesome. Alliance I use 10% in standby time in 2.5 to 3 hours.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
When I was running Saber I was getting 16+ hours to 20+ with 4-5 hours screen on depending on usage. I always have Wifi, gps, and blue tooth activated. I started to have some skips with streaming sound and thought it might be kernel related.

When I flashed v8 I kept the stock kernel and my battery is down somewhat but I'm always near a charging source of some kind.

Typically I've been getting 14-16 hours on stock kernel. I don't obsess about battery life or benchmarks the way I used to. If I have something that's running as flawlessly as Alliance does for me I'm happy. Just my humble opinion.

Btw, the streaming sound skipping thing has disappeared since being on stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] downhillvinnie:
Battery life is big for me too....i would get 25 hours on Beans 22....oh well.....thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donroja:
Great rom T, this has been my dd since it was first on att with the verizon patch! You made it that much better! I just flashed v8 and it is just as great as the rest... I flashed the dark mode ui and the play store is blacked out, but play music is still white. Is it supposed to be blacked out? Thanks for all your work, I just returned a note 3 because I can't leave this rom yet!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:

I put my phone on my desk when I went to sleep last night without plugging it in. no wifi or data was on. When I woke up, I went from 51-49%. This was roughly 7 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] frostysax:
I can get Bluetooth just fine but I can not get my wi fi to connect at all and I have strong signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I wish I got that. My phone is in standby and it says my wallpaper and media are using the most battery. I change my wallpaper to static and it still uses a lot.

Problem with Ad Blocking and NFL Fantasy 2013

This is a great ROM! I will be using it as my daily driver but is there any way to turn off ad blocking at least until I sign into the NFL Fantasy 2013 app? I had this problem with other ROMs that had ad blocking but could turn it off. I don't see how to do that with this ROM.

Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BornDroid:
Can't you delete hosts from etc folder to delete ad blocking?

I remember reading this somewhere before. It worked for me on the nexus.

Definitely something on your end. I get fantastic battery life. Total opposite from beans what I get
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I always got that amount of screen on time and now I don't. Even on beans 22. I though my battery was getting old so I got 2 new ones and still the same life. Maybe I'll start fresh one day and install minimal apps and such. Idk.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Wow. Same here rotating 3 extended batteries through the gnex. Lol. Love the note 2. I have found kernels make more of a difference than rom. Have you guys tried greenify? Sorry to be a little off topic.

No what is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
no gps icon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drecu:
Same here and I did all the steps listed but I do not even get an icon. When I restored a nandroid of stock it locked perfect but as soon as I restored same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
it worked for me after using gps fix for 10 min. and got the gps icon. then after a phone reboot it just stopped. like gps doesnt even exist or something. no more icon or even attempt to connect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I couldn't get gps to work for V6, but it's working for V8 without doing anything special.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drecu:
I am on version 8 and the gps icon does not even show up. I even tried dirty flashing the rom again just to see if it made a difference. no dice.

I really love the rom and don't want to leave it over a gps issue.

Wifi not working after flash

I like this ROM but does anyone know how the PHUK to get the wifi to work. I looked in the thread since last update and there was no answer. I tried reflashing with no success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BornDroid:
What is your Wi-Fi sh doing? Because it connect fine on first boot before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
I flashed this 2 days ago and wifi worked instantly. Maybe a bad download? Did you download from your device or computer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alki1979:
UPDATE:

I flashed back to pr3vious rom and a couple thers and lost wifi went back and went to hidden menu and turn wifi power save off and I got wifi back. Then flashed v8 and wifi now works! Figured it out myself. Thanks guys. Oh and what it did was say the wifi connectivity is poor but signal was strong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alki1979:
Does anyone know how to go to hidden menu on this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
No, I just think most people aren't having this issue. I'd try to re-download the files and do a fresh install. Also only install the rom with no add ons first. Then do each add on one at a time. I had issues when I flashed the rom and 2 add ons on my first install. I'm not able to use Halo or multi window without issues (maybe they only have issues if you use the dark theme)

GPS has been working fine for me. My only issues are auto rotate getting stuck, requiring a reboot, and long press to skip not working (at least not for Rhapsody).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BornDroid:
Do you have any TW lock screen features enabled while using any other lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
The GPS issue is always the same...... your flashing a International version to a vzw handset. So if it doesnt work on first flash your options are always the same. First try a few of the 1000 gps apps on the market to reset gps data and get a lock. If thats a fail your ONLY other option is to flash a vzw version and get a lock. Then reboot directly into recovery. Wipe EVERYTHING including internal data (the one twrp asks you to type yes). Then install your international version and when you get to your home screen go OUTSIDE where you have a clear view of the sky. Then try and get a lock on maps or whatever. First lock can take up to ten minutes sometimes. Dont turn it off and on and try and force it just let it get a lock. If its still a fail u can try restting gps data via a market app and trying to get a lock again. Everyone has looked into the international gps issue and its suspected that its buried to deep in a closed source os to find and fix.

Flashed this rom Friday and I gotta say tgis is by far the smoothest

Rom on my phone. However I didn't realize that this is based on the international version

And for that very reason I'm FORCED to go back to beans seeing as how my phone doesn't get

Gps on an international version.

Now my question, can I use your suede theme , the one on the front page, on beans rom?

And how about the dialer? The one that has the record call option instead of the add call?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Thanks and this isn't based on any international version. It is based off the AT&T latest firmware. No international base or firmware used at all. And no suede is only compatible with AllianceRom. It isn't universal, sorry!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anaya1213:
Oh ok. I read a few pages back and someone was saying that it was based

on an international base and that's why there was no gps for some people

Any idea on what could be wrong then? I wiped everything 3 times including

internal data. I've tried numerous fixes from the play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43737633

Check the attached pic. Nunhugger is the developer of this beautiful work so I'm sure he has an idea of what he's talking about. I have been saying this is an AT&T based firmware since May lol. However some people have reported SOMETIMES they can't get a lock on nonVerizon based ROMs.. I've not one time never got a lock on here. Might be the area I'm in. But I've inputted gpsfixes and workarounds in the past so at this point it is hit & miss my friend.:)

No that part is still touchwiz. That would require some deep down coding within the system and I believe there are xposed mods that can help you with that last one ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ieisha:
I will try another xposed mod but the one I tried before didn't work .What about switching the record button back to swap call ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Sooo... I have been using V7 for a while. The bootanim has been saying V8 the whole time though, but in phoneinfo it says V7. So I downloaded the V8 from OP, flashed it, and it's still saying I'm on AllianceRom v7 and version 4.1.2.

I dirty flashed it... Ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Dirty flash maybe?

I checked the images for both boot animations and they are both correct for v7 and v8.

PhoneInfo for v8 is meant to say v8 although.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
So what's the best way to check what I'm actually running? Are there any features in this new release that I can access that I couldn't previously to test which i'm running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
To clean flash honestly. Sounds like you have some files mixed up and if you dirty flashed v8 over v7, normally, you will have features from both versions running right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] str1der_D:
YES THATS THE ONE! :o
