From the OP :

What you're describing is covered by that statement.

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

I've just tried restoring a twrp backup while being on 5.1 with the mj5 bootlader, patch, and Wifi patch. The backup was from v4 (4.1.2).

I'm typing this from a perfectly working 4.1.2 :)

Experiment over, backup to v5.1...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Excuse me-- but which 'updated' Bootloader are you talking about? MJ5 or MK4??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
MJ5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
I think you got lucky, I mean this is the purpose why they introduced Knox bootloader, to see if one messed with his phone and this way they don't do repairing under warranty. They try to force people to stay "legit" if they want warranty. :D

[MENTION=2329669]Weetbix[/MENTION]: did you check the download mode for Knox flag? If 4.1.2 works on your phone doesn't mean you have the same 4.1.2 bootloader. I think you reverted to 4.1.2 nandroid backup which doesn't flash the old bootloader too. The bootloader can be flashed via Odin or Mobile Odin, eventually. Did you flash an 4.1.2 old rom containing old bootloader? :D That must contain sboot.bin (+param.bin and tz.img, eventually). :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
If I go into download mode Knox is not mentioned. I'm pretty sure it's mj5 because it's from the file sparky said was the mj5 boatloader :)

What I did from 4.1.2 alliance was:

* flash mk4, get no Wifi

* flash the mj5 boatloader with patches via odin

* used mk4 with wifi

* restored twrp backup of 4.1.2 to use triangle away

* flashed stock 4.1.2 image for my phone via odin

* rooted my phone and flashed alliance v4 (4.1.2)

* flashed mk9, no wifi

* flashed mj5 boatloader with patches via odin

* used mk9 with wifi

* restored 4.1.2 backup, all was good

* reflashed mk9, all good

Try to install this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info

Then, go to Operating System tab and see the bootloader version.

Mine shows as in attachment.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] batlyn:
may be i have to reflash my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Woschdi:
You are wrong - MJ5 bootloader is downgradeable and knox is not activated! The counter always stays at 0x0!

Newer bootloaders for example MK4 have knox activated (flag stays at 0x1 "no warranty anymore") and are not downgradeable!

Edit: MJ5 bootloader works for 4.1.2 and for 4.3 without WiFi patch! You only need to flash Dr Ketan´s Patch if you want to stay on older bootloader with 4.3
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steff195:
Knox is not activated, you say, on MJ5 bootloader, but the simple fact that you see that counter means it's a knox bootloader. Maybe you didn't trigger it when you tried it.

"Newer bootloaders have knox activated (flag stays at 0x1)"? :) They only show 0x1 if you have messed with them (custom roms, etc). It's enough to trigger it once and it shows 0x1 permanently afterwards. But if you haven't triggered it yet and keep it stock there's no way they show 0x1 by default.

I was initially referring to newest bootloaders as in general, as being not downgradeable. Not MJ5 in particular.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mixermachine:
Hey Guys,

Short question.

Is the hoovering SPen-circel-feature from the Note 3 in this ROM?

OP only says the Note 3 Apps are
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Woschdi:
Newer bootloaders habe knox activated with flag 0x1 if you run a custom kernel or a custom recovery. You cannot reset the flag to 0x0 ans your warranty is void. Thor is exactly right.

Using MJ5 bootloader provided as a Single File by Dr Ketan won't hurt your warranty. You can flash whatever you want. The flag is montioned in download mode, this is fact, too. But the counter is not activated in MJ5 and will ever display 0x0. Newer bootloaders cannot be overwritten/ downgraded. With MJ5 you can easily flash an older one and knox entry 0x0 is gone.

Thereover MJ5 works for both 4.3 and 4.1.2.

I tried nearly all roms 2 weeks ago and also my backups of 4.1.2.

Nice rom. Will be ace if you can get the customization working.

Is it possible to get standard browsers? Not a fan of chrome.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
no stock browser in there? Im typing on it now...check for internet globe icon in app drawer...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] squicky:
Any chance for rotating tw launcher and lock screen? I miss those from 4.1.2 :(

thanks for the update bro..im on v5 can i use that update?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
That one should be ok, but best to make the move to v5.1, this firmware is a lot more stable.. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] batlyn:
i will move to v5.1 as soon as my internet connection got stable...i like to test that new upgrade.

Bootloader

I am at present on DN3 v3.1.1 rom with MJ5 bootloader. Will the installation of Alliance 5.1 rom change my bootloader. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Hi Sparky

Any chances to fix a link to v 5.1. Thanks:D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
Hmmmmm, mine shows on as unknown, version as 4.3 and bootloader as DMG1. Strange. Oh well, it's all working....

Nope.

404 error message
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Fixed:D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] squicky:
After using 5.1 mod pack every mod should work or just some of it? For example I can change battery icon, but tw rotation or selecting other lockscreen doesn't do anything for me. I've cleared AllianceROM Settings but this didn't help either.

OK. I guess if it's not in change log it's not implemented yet.

Another question/request though... Could set the torchlight as it was before? I mean using the home button instead volume rocker? I'm using gel case and it's very inconvenient to use it this way. Old method was perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Sorry but still the same issue: 404 error:(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
There seems to be an issue with mobile browsers at the mo...works from chrome on device and good on pc...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
if it's not in changelog for this version then it's not in yet...the torch is a sammy stock thing so can't be changed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mjuksel:
Could use Xposed + Additional Xposed module :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jcrompton:
This mk9 build is a little strange. In some aspects the ROM is very smooth and you can scroll quickly, For example, the internet scrolls quickly, the menus scroll nice and snappy; however, in other aspects there are hangups or lags with certain things like activating voice typing (switching language input).

I also have FC with toggle rearrangement. Tried data clear...

Last thing. Can someone tell me how to change color for the inactive toggles... I have a hard time telling which are active
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] yoniinfante:
anyone please confirm if uploading videos to instagram works with this rom? please any help will be appreciate, i had to go back to MI6 base cuz newer MK4 fc when trying to upload videos on Instagram....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
not tried, but I think there is a fix for it
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
no color change for inactive yet....maybe tonight or tomorrow. Can you explain toggle fc and supply logs?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jcrompton:
When I click on Order 24 Toggle

I get
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Lol....you dont have a 24 toggle mod :p

If its not in the changelog its not in ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Hey Sparky,

You may recognise me as the guy from- Who am I kidding, I'm nobody important. More to the point, what with you releasing your shiny new Rom, I had a few questions regarding, well, everything in general. Mainly the installation process but some other more mundane details as well (you may have gathered that I'm not all that smart either). By the way, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this through...

- PhilZ Touch Recovery (PZT): Can I use this recovery to flash your Rom (recently, I jumped "recovery" ships from TWRP to PZT. It seems to have more features, nicer user UI & based on CWM so works with most Roms I know, although certain versions are more stable than others.)

- (Something I have very little knowledge of) Bootloader: For V15.7, one could either flash [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]'s Wi-Fi patch to fix the Wi-Fi connectivity issue or they could flash the MJ5 Bootloader (via Odin) to fix most problems including Wi-Fi & random FC's. Is that still the case? Is MJ5 bootloader still the best fix possible?

(This is the part where I show how intelligent I really am) What is a bootloader/its function? I've heard some other names being thrown around here such as MK4 or MJ9/MK9... What's all that about? Are more recent bootloaders better? Or are they something to do with baseband/modem? What even is that? Who am I? (great film btw)

- Is the Alliance stock kernel edited in any way for better performance or is it as Samsung left it?

- Since this is 4.3 firmware and all, do features such as: Smart Scrolling, hovering Pen Window and features from 4.1.2 such as Motions and Smart Stay all work?

- Side question really concerning your unique mods: Can you hide statusbar on lockscreen? Can you add transparency to system apps (ie. See through background for Settings, Phone & the likes).

If you made it this far, I am so sorry for everything above. Please try not to curse/kill me and go easy on me, instead...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Hey Rickav,

Right!! :D Philz is ok for flashing rom from recovery, but not sure if it plays to o nice with Rom Customizer so flashing themes and ota stuff could be troublesome. At the moment there is no install options so you will get twrp upon flashing...

For this rom and any other of the latest 4.3 roms i flashed the MJ5 bootloader then a patch in odin and then wifi patch (also in odin) stay away from any bootloader after mj5 as it will enable the knox counter and warranty will be void as soon as you flash anything.

What is a bootloader...? ummm...it loads the boot :D :D best check google for a better answer mate!

Kernel is stock, I tried to insecure it for adb access but have not yet got it :(

All features work :)

No hide statusbar on lock just yet, nope, no trans bg's on system apps either...but now you mention it :D

Happy Christmas Eve!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] WAHEGURU JI:
v5.1 is smooth and also 240 dpi mod works fine(if email and cLock fcs just clear data and cache from application manager)

got a bug...when click on font style settings fcs...

so m stuck with default fonts..:(plz fix that...

everything else is smooth...

will try custom kernels(agni and devil) will report feedback soon..will also report abt battery life soon..

sparky sir one suggestion or u can say request frm this side is plz introduce aroma installer as there is lot of stuff(google and sammy) which is not required by evry user..

thanx a lot for the awesome rom...:)

keep the good work going..?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
I've fixed settings fc in next update, but if you go to /system/fonts copy DroidSans_mono to sdcard, remane to DoidSans and put back in fonts folder. This will cure the fc :)

Alliance will never use aroma mate, but we're working on the install scripts to add the choices back. But it's not really a big deal to use Rom Customizer to remove a bit of bloat in the mean time...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] WAHEGURU JI:
ok thanx..fonts issue solved..

yes I already removed unwanted apps using rom customizer..:D

when click on restart sec phone alliance settings fcs..

and evn sometimes when open custom settings it fcs..

also themes are not compatible with alliance rom..I think its jst because of alliance custom settings..

is there any way I can disable alliance settings or any other way to make themes compatible with the rom...:)

nxt version will b based on ML3 or MKD??:D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Restart sec phone will fc as you dont have the app for it.

If custom settings fc clear its data.

Themes need packing for ota. There is a guide on alliance website to do it. We dont have time for that.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Cheers for getting back to me...

- Currently, I'm on MJ5 bootloader (no other patches) and things have been going swimmingly so far.

- I guess I may have to roll back to TWRP at a later stage then.

- As mentioned by another member, themes are non-existent and most things are stock (with exception to the [Note 3] mods, of course). During 4.1.2. there seemed to be an Alliance theme which somewhat modified the appearances of System apps (Holo, I believe) and that looked pretty sleek. Since then, themes, at least for me, have not yet made a comeback but I'm looking forward to whenever they are made stable to be added to this Rom again.

- So, you are using Devil2 kernel currently on your phone? If so, can you say which version?

- Both of the mods I mentioned are pretty minor and not all that important to be implemented any time soon. LockScreen status bar hide only affects my phone for a very short time period while transparent backgrounds for System apps are, admittedly rather cool but, takes a noticeable toll on start-up times for these apps (the lag is strong with this one). Maybe letting the user choose a particular picture as the background for all System apps could lessen the impact as no variable alpha values are assigned to the background.

And Happy Holidays, Wonderful Festive Season and/or Merry Christmas to you and all.

That, kids, is called a politically correct statement...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Definitely Christmas here mate!! :D

I've got a nice modpack for release tonight, then theme is next, just gotta look at the install script so you can select which theme you want....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Next release won't be based on ml3 or mkd as they came out at the same time as this one...it's just regional stuff. I'll wait for the next major update to change firmware...

any solution or need to flash rom again....

just flashed the grey air command before everything goes fcs..:(

here is the trick I read it somewhere in xda and its working...

battery level was jst 3% and switched off the device...connected the charger its shows the battery juice is ovr 50%...after 5 mins switched on the device and u won't believe batery level was 63%..

so I think its a bug in 4.3 roms...battery is not draining fast it just shows that..my noob brain can't understand the issue but may be sparky sir or others devs can look into it....:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:
On the FC thing, try reboot:D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] WAHEGURU JI:
yes tried that...even cleared cache and dalvik cache...also tried to clear data and cache from application manager but nothing worked....:(

Last thing to try is flashing latest SuperSu zip.

I had same last night and fixed it doing al the things you did, I also flashed the zip so that might have done it.

Good luck, and merry Christmas to all of you

can u provide the link where it is described to modify themes...I couldn't able to find that on alliance website...just wana try if I could able to make the theme working...:)

Merry Christmas to all...:)

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mikeymopar:
Merry Christmas to you too!

Here's the LINK tho it's a bit outdated. Also, here's a great write-up with pictures by Dikkebas. Big difference now is your zip needs to be put in the root of the phone and not in the tmp folder. Here is a super basic example to change the OFF toggle bar to a hollow bar thus making it a little more noticeable from the ON toggle bar. Just unzip the zip to see the file structure. Besides any apk(s) and the images, the other components are needed and must be named just as they are in the example for it to flash properly. You only need images in the zip so it's relatively easy to make a RC flashable theme once you have the images. PM me if you have any questions instead of bogging down Sparky's thread. :D

ToggleOffHollow

ToggleOffRevert

(let me know if they don't flash...i gotta get wrapping presents and go to bed before the kids wake up so i don't have time to flash my port and test these. file structure is correct and they should flash with RomCustomizer once they are placed on your phone in the root)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Hi,

I'm probably blind but not seeing MD5 for v.5.1--any ideas where to look?

Also, did I get it correct--if we flash Alliance v.5.1 we get TWRP Recovery by default? I am same as [MENTION=5125844]Rickav[/MENTION] in that I have moved to latest Philz some time ago--and prefer it--I suppose we just re-flash our recovery of choice after installation? Did you say that Rom Customizer does not work with Philz?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mikeymopar:
MD5: 21081F29B53829AD043FA281A93AFD0D

SHA-1: E3BEFB78CA7E3749DFD064512BAE29C5301FA52B

and yes, twrp is the only choice that is built in v5.1 updater-script if you do a straight up flash from recovery (so you could edit it out if you wanna keep Philz...hint, hint). and i think i've seen that RC only works with twrp but give it a go with Philz, worst case it doesn't flash the zip.
