I have textdroider and set my DPI to 400 - gives me lots of screen and still readable for my old eyes. Free on Play.

Something for me to try next is to get my phone set up how I want and then make a ROM from it. What I am hoping to learn is how, when Sparky brings out a new Alliance, to copy over the new parts and leave the rest of my ROM how I like it, then just flash the Alliance-adjusted version of my ROM.

The process of adjusting Alliance back to how I like things is a bit time-hungry; dirty flashing is OK but if things 'gang agley' there's usually a wipe involved and Restoring data risks bringing back the things that messed up.

Also I have been trying out themes and find all of them need adjusting to be what I want and losing the Alliance folder at one point made me realise just how much customising I do to get my beeyootifool fone! I figure if I build all that stuff into a ROM I can either copy my files into the new Alliance or the main files across from the new Alliance.

In my copious free time of course... :D

Anyone know if the green background on apps thing has been fixed yet? Haven't upgraded because of it, but as soon as it is, I'm on it :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
I've not even bothered looking at that yet, it's such a minor thing that only effects a small number of apps...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
I'm beginning to like it, a very restful shade:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
LOL - I'm more concerned about finding how to change the white-on-white dialogs that some apps use. I can read what's on the green screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I seem to have resolved the white-on-white box issue. What I did was deselect [Linked Colours] for all text except [Popup Header][Button][In app menu][In app selection][Toast pop up] (so they are the only ones with a tick) then I made the [Linked Theme Colour] a medium blue - now those white boxes have medium blue text in them.

I'll try unlinking those linked ones and see if I can work out which item is the right one.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Found it - at least for the apps I had with the problem - it's [Pop Up Headers Text] - unlink it then set it how you want.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
The green bg has disappeared with the latest playstore update.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
My Greenify is still green bg but Playstore is now white.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
No Greenify update though available, correct? PS update is as I'm sure you know automatic (maybe even unpreventable).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Play Store [Settings][Auto-update apps] tick your choice for updates.The colours for the pop up are at [Colours][Unlinked colours] (if you've unlinked it) [Txt colours][Button Text]

Wish they'd name these things right.., :D (or that the app programmers would bother to work out which variable to use for each function - e.g. using popup headers for text in a popup, and Play store using Button text for the same thing)

I used to tell my users that Microsoft programmers must be fantastic at their job considering the reason they couldn't make Win/Office easy for humans to use was because most of them had never met a real human... :D

noob question

Can I flash some other systems over write theme on this rom and where can I get twrp recovery I'm on note 3 n9005 hlte
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radicalisto:
Not advisable to flash other themes over this as this ROM isn't like other ROMs, it's a lot more unique in the way it handles code (coded properly and not just using added on Xposed modules) . TWRP is available in the Development section in this forum for you. Make sure you choose the correct version, and read the sticky threads for information about your device and the PROS + CONS and how to fix if something goes wrong.

PS: This ROM is blazing, and has been since day one, I'd give it a whirl for a month and see how you get on with it :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] leonard16a:
Thanks. ..

That was pretty fast ...I guess I'm on the right website ...where people help other. ..I'll flash tomorrow and let you all know how it goes ...Hopefully

Hi

I have never done customs roms or rooting before, I have a stock SM-N9005 and I'm looking at this rom cause it was suggested to me.

Can someone confirm that it supports all the S-Pen features on my Note3? Also since I read somewhere in the OP that it doesn't have a modem? What does that mean? Will this work as a phone haha? I know these are dumb questions but I literally have no idea.

Also, is their a guide to install this from a stock Note 3? Like I haven't done anything to my Note 3 except turn it on and use it? So yeah no fancy rooting or anything done?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radicalisto:
Hello again! My recommendation :P - yes it has all the s-pen features

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Download this ROM and flash via TWRP. Don't worry about the modem stuff so long as you're on KitKat (4.4.x) you'll be fine. Your current modem will be used :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stildawn:
Where do I get TWRP and ODIN? Are these PC software? Do I not need to "root" or anything?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] steff195:
I think you should read more about root, custom recovery and custom roms flashing before you try this rom. Otherwise you might brick your phone since, obviously, you don't know what these are. Please, don't misunderstand me, I'm doing you a favor. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radicalisto:
Yeah I already told him in Q&A thread about reading up on everything :)

Good to see people are still recommending people read though, seems to be lost within XDA lately due to a lot of "forum police" lol.

Sent from my Spectrum ZX +2
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stildawn:
Any recommended reading? I would love to but this forum has a rather complicated structure. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radicalisto:
General thread, ODIN is pretty straight forward tbh, have a read of Chainfire's CF-Autoroot thread. It explains how to root and you'll gain the basic understanding of ODIN also.

Hi it's me again I have successfully rooted and installed twrp recovery on my note 3 n9005 4.4.2 and I am downloading alliance rom v5.1 but before I flash I don't want to loose my already installed apps and their data ...can anybody recommend a tool to backup and restore my apps after flashing this rom without issues. ...Thanks in advance ....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Nice work!!!

I use mybackup pro..much easier than most and less hassle with restoring. There is a free root version too....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] leonard16a:
I have downloaded alliance rom and have backed up my apps and their data to /storage/emulated/legacy so my final question before flashing is after rom installation will my sdcard0 storage be wiped would I loose old photos and music and do I need to backup those too to a computer ...and will storage/emulated/legacy location part be wiped?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
It won't be wiped, but always a good idea to back it up to PC just in case...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Theblack_jack:
very good rom. shame not have themes like the galaxy s5
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] leonard16a:
Confirmed : Alliance rom user

Finally flashed THE ALLIANCE ROM and boy is this rom just amazing and feature packed.. . I love touchwiz on this phone totally now... [MENTION=4207059]sparky b[/MENTION] you did a good one on this rom ... Thanks for helping flash this.... Your rom is amazing BIG Ups to the alliance rom team ???... I've been running this rom for the past 5 hours and I just couldn't put my phone down. ... So much to explore. .. Found no serious issues with this rom so far only issue I have is with the quick toggles ... They look the same when pressed and unpressed any fix for this? I'm Alot happier with my phone now... And does this rom support custom kernels, if so could you guys recommend some... I'm fresh new on xda-developers.... I'm feeling like someone who's been living in a cage all my mobile life Android is limitless and exciting
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Lean kernel is the best for me...never given me any hassle.

For quick setting toggles, in Custom Settings > Colors > unlinked colors > toggles, set the toggles off color to different one...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] leonard16a:
Thanks Alot I just didn't it... No more issues ATM everything is working smooth .... As for the kernel I'd go with your advice and get on it right now thanks a lot

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

one more question... You're rom had s5 style settings on it before ... But I find that the interface on this version doesn't have s5 settings... Couldn't it be an error on my path
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
We took a user vote and went back to note3 settings...s5 grid settings gets a bit moo after a while
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
When we can access ota server again I'll upload the new alliance manager with new the new themes

Just thought I'd drop by and thank Sparky for his ROM - latest version ticks along beautifully, no FC's fast as f*ck and great on battery - nothing like being able to go 2 or more days without needing to recharge, even with reasonable use. (getting circa 5+ hours screen time)

cheers... :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Thanks JM, always good to good to hear ;)

Rebase to newer firmware will begin this week (hopefully). But as y'all know it's not a quick process...

Also, any OnePlus owners lurking? I need a couple of testers if anyone is interested.

Sparx.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rdeguz:
Well ive been using aosp roms for a while now so im use to swiping left on a blank spot to get to the other panel. Its not a big deal but you know..

Sorry but i found another bug. If im on a website with a phone number, when i try to select the number to dial it, it fc the phone app. Also if i copied a number and tried to paste it in the phone app it fc too.

Sorry, just thought ill point it out to you if you didnt know already.

Great thanks to sparky B

Good day to you all... I have been using alliance rom for some weeks now... And I'm enjoying it on my phone. .. However I've had a few issues or 2 and decided to bring it to the table... I can't find camera shortcut on lockscreen like on stock, when playing music and I wake my phone I don't get music control page as default page on lockscreen I still get the clock and date page and I'd be greatful if iCould get it back, I also experience frequent Samsung music app and system ui FC's... And that's as much as I have noticed... I really appreciate the hard work of the alliance rom team... The options and features of this rom is amazing...

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Stock apps like 's health and watch on don't launch at all and I'd like to know how to change the holo light background from the light green white back to white like on stock rom,
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
I wish I could explain this but I'm completely baffled. Been using the Alliance theme for months, and yesterday my system and dialer backgrounds suddenly were holo again instead of black.

I had problems getting these backgrounds before, posted here about it.

No problem I thought, I'll reinstall my theme backup. Did so, still holo. Wiped, reinstalled and spent 9 hours straight on the clean ROM trying to change these backgrounds without success.

I've read and read, tried all advice from when I had the same months ago, but no luck.

Not asking for a fix because others have obviously managed it, but I'm fkced if I can solve my dilemma.

Just for info. I'm going to drink Laphroaig.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
Very quiet here - as always, a sign of a rock solid ROM.

If anyone is remotely interested, I never did solve my problem as described above, nor did I find any explanation for it. As a quick fix, I installed an xposed module, xBackground, which works.

I was very reluctant to start using xposed again, but I'm glad I did, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered Amplify, whick kicks ass. I'm getting about 2-3 hours extra battery per charge. Highly recommended.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TheDriller:
Add the apps you want to have system bg to the whitelist
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
As [MENTION=4469503]RErick[/MENTION] says mate, also try renaming the alliance folder on internal sd then open Alliance Manager and try again...your back ups will be in the renamed folder...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] B3311:
Don't get me wrong guys, I wasn't complaining! Just baffled.

Of course I did the whitelist RErik, I'm not a total noob.

Sparky, I can't remember now if I rebuilt the Alliance folder or not during the 9 hour marathon, but I've done it before in connection with something else months ago. Will make it a priority for future flashes (have now 44 themes backed up...).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jalanbesi:
Install the rom smoothly, but one thing i can't understand. I've managed to remap menu button that been set to recent from default back to menu. But for home button, i can't seem to set the short press to wake when the phone in lockscreen state. Please kindly assit. Thx.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Goldie:
Just check and then uncheck it
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jalanbesi:
Sorry, i didn't know that the mod is in the lockscreen mod section, i was fiddling in the key remapping section :D hahaha, now it's all good :) thx Goldie.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jalanbesi:
Sorry, one more hiccup, the music app cannot start, everytime i click it, i says "unfortunately music has stopped". I install the rom without samsung apps, is that what cause the problem? thx.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Seems likely. Samsung seem to like linking apps to each other so you probably got rid of something Music relies on. I think it was email doesn't work if you remove magazine.

I use Music Player HD from playstore - works great. Not a fan of Samsung bloatware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jalanbesi:
Ok, solved the music player problem by uninstall it and using 3rd party music app :)

Btw, does anyone know if there's a guide on how to change the color in the custom setting. I mean, like a guide or picture reference that this option for changing this part color. For now, it's been trials and errors in deciding which color for which and after all set up, there's always some menu or pop up that ended up with white text on white background. Quite chaotic :)

Beside the white on white issue, i also come accross a weird checklist option, which the option didn't show. Also the pop up panel seems narrow and sometimes extra space regarding the small pop up border (screenshot attached for the issues)

And can anyone please kindly point to me on how to disable the left swipe on dropdown panel?

FYI, i installed the rom with full wipe as per installation guide, kernel - checked, google app - checked, no alliance themes.

All in all, this is a great rom with a lot of customization :) Thank you very much for this awesome rom.

NB :

Driving me crazy

Ive tried to DL this 5 times and I sit here for an hour, hour and a half and then it fails. Or if it does come through its a corrupt file. Where else can I get this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
It worked fine for me - took longer than a couple of hours though - think I averaged about 100KB. Maybe try something like Free Downloader or similar where you can resume if there's an interruption?

Or try off peak when perhaps not so many are DL'ing?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
All seems to be ticking along nicely so far. Had a couple of apps play up but removing them and reinstall from store fixed that. I'd originally just run a restore of data from TWRP so was to be expected I guess.

Nice work as usual Sparky... :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
This is strange... as in never seen it before...

I add a contact from a phone call. Add in the name, & save and all is fine. Now go back in & try to add an address, a note or any of the other "Add a Field' options and they just do not work...

Any hints?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Thanks Sparky but it seems OK now - I wiped and installed the latest CM12 to try it out & when I restored my Alliance backup the Contacts are working as usual - not sure what the glitch was, but I did try restarting, also deleting all contacts and reloading from saved file and even did a fix permissions in TWRP - nothing worked but it all came back working.

Ah nice, how you finding yourself easing into the Note 3 then? -- looking on other ROM threads, lots of people complaining about FC's or mad errors lol. Yet you seem to have managed a smooth transaction (which got my attention) -- off the top of my head (and due to the fact I hit reply without re-reading) you using /or planning on using a custom kernel eventually? - if not, I'm assuming we're good to go on another one?

Yup scratch that, seen you're using Stock, my bad not reading properly. It's late and I'm at work haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
We generally release with stock kernel, but I'm using lean kernel...when more kernels come out, with devs permission, we'll add some to ota
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] g virus:
Absolutely love this rom.

My previous devices was nexus, then i buy note 3, tripped knox and tried various roms, they are all about aroma installer and xposed framework, in my opinion comparing with nexus community this isn't android development.

AllianceROM is something different, with mods made in house, and great stability!

Looking forward to see all options working! :)

Something I don't like is the text font you use, can i choose the stock one? Wish you all a merry Christmas!
