To dev: Can you please make the settings icon for "App Ops" and "Block calls/messages" to match the other white flat icons on Alliance theme?

Other things that would be nice are:

- Brightness control even when the battery is below 5%.

- LTE toggle, or 2G (like in JKay).

- New Sense 6 battery and signal icons.

- Option to make the statusbar clock bigger or smaller, same for the battery percentage.

- Statusbar fully transparent on lockscreen. Right now, the lockscreen statusbar has its own gradient black transparency that cannot be changed.

- Longpress Back-button to kill app, and longpress Menu for multiwindow.

- Option to set lockscreen wallpaper to be the same as the homescreen, to be able to set "theme" wallpapers, like Lumos or Trinity.

And some minor bugs:

- The "Rom Customizer" and "Alliance settings" settings icons tend to change size, sometimes they're bigger than usual.

- Brightness toggle slide has an extra blue icon, and the number indicator is misplaced. Screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance!

Have you flashed anything on top of the rom cause I have never had the brightness slider show what yours is, mine displays like the screenshot attached. Also haven't noticed the rom customizer and alliance settings icons changing sizes but will keep an eye on it, but shouldn't randomly change its size.

As for the requests lte toggle, no one has looked at but you can use toggle 2g. No Brightness control under 5% would be a battery feature to try and make the phone phone use the least amount of power and don't see a need to adjust brightness at that level of battery. Would need to get a hold of a new htc ui to get the images and battery icons but could be added at some point. Don't know if it is my wallpaper but transparent status bar on lockscreen looks transparent to me and looks same as it does on the home screen. Long press back has been removed from the code and haven't got around to looking for a way to get it to work for long press to kill. You can set home and lockscreen wallpaper the same but not sure what you mean by theme wallpaper.

I set updated rom to upload this morning before leaving for work so if it is finished uploading then I will put an ota zip for the app ops and call/message block icons for alliance theme once I change them to be like the other icons.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gaspariperez:
Thanks for the answer.

- Where can I find the 2G toggle? What I mean with that is to turn off anything else but the 2G network to save some battery, and quickly turn the "2G mode" if you need 4G to surf the web or something. Or a toggle to just turn off 4G, and only have 2G/3G connection.

- The brightness control below 5% is handy if I'm outside and want to read some article or Facebook or whatever. It's not a big deal but I've found myself in the need of this feature sometimes.

- I've only flashed a GPE bootanimation, and the brightness toggle has always been like that for me, with and extra icon.

- The lockscreen for me has always this gradient that can't be changed. I've set my statusbar to full transparency to show what I mean (screenshots attached).

- One last feature request: A Dim-screen toggle, like on JKay 4.1.2.

- For the icons getting bigger:

The icons (rom customizet, custom settings, alliance ota) seem to have 3 size-stages. The first one is when all icons are small. The second one is when all icons are big. The third one is when the icons have different sizes (screenshots attached).

- To reproduce the size change to "all big": In tab mode, first check if the icons are small, then enter the third tab (from left to right) and the the second tab, the icons should now be bigger.

- To reproduce the size change to different sizes:

In list mode, first check if the icons are small. Enter "About phone" in Settings, then go back and look at the icons. They should now be of different sizes. This is just random so you'll have to switch to Tab mode, then to List mode and try again if the icons don't change size as expected.

Cheers!

V3 is up. I added to ota a zip to flash for alliance theme which will change the app ops and call/msg block icons in settings and I resized the rc, cs icons and appears to have fixed the icons resizing. I will try add the stock and alliance themes to ota today if get the chance to as well

Hi..

Home in sweden the rom included gps.conf is making my gps lock very slow, over 60 s.

I tried this conf witch makes it lock with in 2-6 seconds. I dont remember who wrote it though.

Can you include this in a ota update?

Its probably only important with the first few lines.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DaveLTE:
Okay,

Tried the new secsettings = no go

Tried a reflash clear cache/dalvic = no go

Tried new secsettings again = no go

Settings - My device - Lock Screen then Lockscreen options fails and tells me "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" :confused:

Edit ; Is there supposed to be a RipperSettings.apk in system/app

Do you use svoice? Changed wakeup command? Removed any apps? Any visual mod installed? What theme?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DaveLTE:
svoice? = no

Changed wakeup command? no

Removed any apps? = frozen some

Any visual mod installed? only colours in notifications , changed background pic to blue bubbles from ota

What theme? = no

Did you see edit in my last post , i have Rippersettings apk, is that ok
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Raistlin1158:
Unfreeze the apps, clear your cache and reboot.

I checked the browser this morning and it does appear to do this. Just when pressing back while the page loads it does go to the top but once page has loaded it takes you back down to where ever you were on the page

Will have a look at making it an ota theme but will see if can get a white sense battery icon and will add it into the rom

Noticed yesterday lock for gps was a bit slow and yes the gps conf is the reason, have fixed that up in the rom now.

Any apps to do with voice like svoice frozen?

It is ok having that apk, it won't cause a conflict, I only noticed it while playing around yesterday that I forgot to remove it.

Will upload a V1.1 soon which will include the fixes for instagram, pattern lock and gps conf. Will also have rippersettings apk removed and also include the settings text linked to colour picker and will also have 16 options for battery icons which will all be white so will work with colour picker. Just need to touch up a couple things before can upload so hopefully will have that sorted out today. Also have made a change to Alliance theme call screen so it looks like the jb domination one
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DaveLTE:
Hey txr33, it was the frozen svoice that killed it, soon as I unfroze that one app it worked.

Top stuff,
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] DaveLTE:
With v1.1 coming soon what would be the best way to do a good clean up of the phone before a full fresh install, not just wipe data / factory reset can it be done deeper into the phone card like a format maybe ?

In v1.1 is there a restore to default for the color chooser section, i messed about before i backed up and couldn't get back to default colors, tried flashing Rom and that wont do it unless you do a full wipe/factory reset.

One more , is there a simple back up apps with bulk restore ?, i am using rom customizer but cant make it save to ext sdcard, app would need to use ext sdcard to be usefull after factory reset, i curently use TB.

You can clear data of "settings storage" with titanium to reset your colors :)

Flashing Ripper is More simpler than this. Flashing ROM from SD Card in ReCovery. SIMPLE! !! But dis, ROM Customizer, Alliance fix bla bla...

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Place ROM zip in root of SD card, booy in Recovery, Clear factory data, Cache and Dalvik. Flash RoM!!! Reboot and enjoy.

Is that the Procedure to flash Alliance? If NO! Then is not Simple enough! :p
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Goldie:
Personally I dont see whats difficult about installing an app (which incidentally is useful for anyone with its root explorer and other functions) putting rom on sd and pressing install....?

The install guide does say you can install your "easy way" anyway. Or is it that the reading is actually the difficult bit? :p

I guess theres something wrong with your app?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
So.. As the new version is probably coming to our phone, I am pretty curious what are the advantages of installing this ROM by 'rom customizer' app. I mean, to me, there are easier (for user) ways to install/flash the ROM.

Let's say that we have famous Aroma Installer, which is quite nice and highly customizable way of flashing ROMs. Even old method of flashing Ripper Rom was more familiar with users, I recon.

What I want to say is, that I've tried to install this ROM hour ago by ROM customizer.. but it just stopped at trying to reboot to recovery. Pretty sad, don't you think? Whereas flashing by 'rom customizer' enables users to choose if they want to install google bloat apps/samsung bloatware, normal way within recovery hasn't got such possibility. Let alone choosing which kernel do we want...

Maybe it sounded rude, but I wanted this message to be more question/discussion-starter or just a suggestion ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Goldie:
If you dont wanna use rom customizer then dont. Just install with default options from recovery. Aroma is needed by roms that dont have all mods built in for on the fly changing. Personally I hate it. Twenty screens to get the mods you want. Makes rom zips huge too. Install from recovery if you have issues with RC. Once your are on alliance RC will work perfectly for future updates etc.

You really need twrp too but to be honest cwm is pretty lame in comparison in my opinion :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Hmm.. Might worth a try to install TWRP... I have been using Philz since start and it has never let me down ;)

About Aroma..

I agree with you to some extent that it is making zip files huge and after installation you might change everything on the fly in your ROM, however I somehow prefer to set everything one time (like in aroma), go through these 20 pages of settings (just in 1 place) and use the phone then :p

What is more, I always wanted to have completely bloatware-free ROM just after installation, without a need to flash some cleaning scripts etc. and it isn't possible as for now :p
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Goldie:
Its possible. Install twrp. Try with RC again. If it still wont work then flash from recovery this first time. You can always reflash with RC afterwards to get your no bloat. Then RC should always work for future :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Hmm, just tried like this, before you suggested and it seemed like I have still same bloat, because there was no /system format, therefore same apps stayed.. That's what I assume at least :p

Other question, will editing romconfig.xml change anything when I'm flashing through recovery, without rom customizer? :p

I know that I might be a little bit tiring, but I also appreciate your constant support!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] pheral:
Would appreciate any help. I am unable to mount ext SD card when wanting to flash in both Rom Customizer or twrp file manager reads it OK but have problems with the recovery
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gaspariperez:
Awesome!

Can you explain why you out Alliance theme to OTA? Do we need to update the rom and then flash the theme via

OTA again?

Cheers!

If you don't see the sd card as an option in ROM Customizer, you need to open RC, wait for it to load, close it, go to settings, unmount the sd card and mount it again, go to RC again ant it should show the sd card option, otherwise reboot and it should show.

This happened to me the fist time I opened RC, and that fixed it. Cheers!

Flashed latest update through ROM Customiser and wifi won't turn on now.

I've cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted etc but it will only turn on for a second and then goes straight off.....

Any ideas without a factory reset, again....?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Goldie:
Did you flash stock kernel or something
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] PSL184:
Yes, stock kernel as I always do....?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Goldie:
I guess you dont have knox bootloader then. You cant use stock kernel without it or wifi will not work
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] PSL184:

It may somehow sound rude to write sth like that, but.. Is there any way that I could get such mods like:

fade-off efect

extended power menu

extended quick toggles

AOSP lockscreen (woah, that looks the same as AOSP!)

without exactly using Alliance ROM? It means, I still prefer to use pure stock rom with few mods (like these above or through xposed modules).
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] txr33:
Sorry but no. They are alliance rom features and no permissions have been given to anyone to use them, especially the aosp lock by goldie.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] hooligan001:
Great job with the ROM guys, love the stock look of Alliance theme with some of the Samsung features (actually just the camera…).

Anyway ever since I’ve used the ROM I’ve had the issue that my Wi-Fi doesn’t turn off, as reported by the battery app anyway. See my screenshot for info, the Wi-Fi bar is on constantly. Tried a search but it doesn’t seem like anyone else is affected by this. I’ve always performed a wipe data with TWRP when installing.

[I am unable to upload images as I don't have enough posts...]

I also often have an issue that mobile data doesn’t connect even when I have signal and the H with arrows in the status bar. It usually works if I turn on and off flight mode. I’ve tried flashing different modems – is there a way to completely erase any modem data before flashing new?

Also recently I am experiencing poor battery life, not sure if this would be related to 4.3. The drain is predominantly taken up by screen, but Google Play Services is always in second place. Any tips on this one?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] PSL184:
1 - Check your advanced WiFi settings and see if the option is ticked to allow WiFi location tracking even when off.

2 - There is a script cleaner somewhere on the forum try a search for it. I'll post back if I can find it.

3 - Usually it takes a couple of days for the ROM to settle. I always see slightly higer battery drain for the first 2 or 3 days after flashing but then it settles down. 4.3 looks pretty good to me.

I've also enable battery saving profile config in Boeffla settings (if you are using Boeffla kernel?)

The new v3 is great! However I found that the Alliance Settings app doesn't seem to save the toggle dim LED colour if it's set separately. When I try to restore a them that I've saved the old colour for it stays. I've already flashed the Alliance theme settings fix zip from OTA.

Also would it be possible to set the number of toggles visible in landscape mode separately in future?

Thanks for the great new options.

Hey Guys!

Loving the new ROM! Can I humbly request that you update Gear Manager in your ROM to the latest version 1.6.132701 (Currently v. 1.0.0.2)

Found a little glitch that has been around since the day dot, but never quite figured out whats causing it til now...

I add a lock option to the header, however when you use that function the status bar remains Black on the lock screen and again when unlocked... Only way to get the status bar transparent again is to touch the statusbar

If you lock the screen normally with the power button it is fine..

I really like this rom, but one thing that annoys me are the Popup headers. Same problem as before, setting it to white would make the text hard to read on some popups, same with black. If I choose a popup style for all popups, then some text in some popups will get hard to see, because the text color wont change with the popup, so black text will be hard to see on dark popups, etc.

Is there any possibility to make the whole popups act as default? Or make all the text color of a popup change according to the style chosen?

Another thing is the system ui background, some apps don't work properly with it, and some popups change to the system ui color chosen, like SuperSU popups...
