[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Something a bit puzzling - that error I get when trying to pick a wallpaper for the Lock Screen where Settings stops... As mentioned I have been trying a few other ROMs and currently have X-Note on my phone. I get the same error as with Alliance v3. So I am thinking it's something with my phone, which makes me think of the error I get when flashing ROMs re storage. Maybe at some point in my changes the set up is different to normal?

Flash error:

rooting your phone...

set_perm: some changes failed

e: error in /storage/sdcard1/ROMs/Custom/AllianceROM_KK_N9005_v3.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

Press any key to continue

More investigation needed I think. Anyone know a safe way to completely reformat my phone set up without losing IMEI etc? I do have an EFS backup but the best backup is one you don't have to use... right? :D

Hm... Wipe Data/Factory reset gives an error...

Formatting /sd-ext...

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Now to see if I can find what that means. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I seem to have found the source of the sd-ext error. I flashed CWM instead of Philz and the error goes away. Not sure if it had anything to do with the Lock screen wallpaper though - did a complete wipe and restored Alliance v3 and Lock Screen error is still there. Now doing a fresh install of v3 after another full wipe - reasoning here that the build onto the other setup might have built in a problem so now will see if it is still an issue on a fresh setup.

Ordering scren today, massive thanks to the donators :) should be up and running on or before Friday!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
I've been working my way through the settings etc. and the Lock screen wallpaper FC is still there. Also trying to "install from device storage" (in Security) crashes the Cert installer. And clicking Themes FC's Settings as well.

Just me? I have removed quite a few things I don't need and AFAIK they aren't critical apps or services, but it is possible...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kangal:
This is going to sound like a dumb question but have you disabled/removed/altered the TouchWizz Home Launcher?

That's usually the culprit.

Are you using an alternate launcher (which one)?

And what do you have as your wallpaper? A stock picture? User-selected photo? 500px? A Livewallpaper? A customizable LW (aka AnimGif)?

And how have you selected the wallpaper, through the launcher (which one) or through the Settings?

There's something baked into the TouchWizz ROMs and the TouchWizz Launcher.... hence why the lock screen and wallpapers sometimes play funny. I had the same problem before.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Likely it's removing TW - I've always removed Easy TW but have also started removing TW as well - didn't seem to affect anythi8ng in 4.3 Alliance or other ROMs.

Alternate launcher is Nova 3.1. Tried every way I can find to pick a Lock Screen Wallpaper but the moment I choose Wallpapers (not live) it fails. I can apparently choose a photo with no issues.

Your TW advice would solve the multi-ROM issue - I do it almost as reflex as I like Nova and TW gives me the irrits... :D

Thanks...

Its going to be 4.4.2

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Current rom is 4.3...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kangal:
This is gonna suck but wipe everything and start again from scratch. Leave TW Easy and TW Home installed. Install Apex/whatever and just make it default.

That's all, problem solved.

Sparky, can you put this as a disclaimer on the first page/post.... DO NOT REMOVE/ALTER TW Launcher(s).

Enjoy
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Maybe...will check it later on my freshly restored Note 3:laugh:

Screens arrived, tomorrow we're back in business!!!:cool::cowboy::D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sshafranko:
Cant you just extract Tw launcher from the rom zip, place it in priv app with file explorer, reboot and you have TW launcher back? Why wipe everything?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kangal:
Because I tried that on "Alliance" back in the day with my OG NOTE, and it didn't work. Yeah TW is that anal that it ties into so many things and doesn't wanna play fair.

A clean install is always recommended, that way any bugs that are found arent trivial and the problems can be identified much easier for developers.

Its also ease of mind for users and testers alike. I make it my personal agenda to clean install all new ROMs (and sometimes for MODs/Xposed... truly saves me a ton of headache).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Not looking good for a solution so far. Went back to stock, then flashed v3 Alliance fresh - deleted nothing (i.e. still have all TW installs there) and still have the settings FC on trying to set a lock screen from Wallpapers. Doesn't matter if I try from TW launcher or Nova.

Interestingly while at Stock I got the "e:footer is wrong" "e:signature verification failed" error msgs. This is similar (as in referencing e:) to what I was getting with Philz installed. So far it is looking like either a CWM issue or maybe a partitions issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Note 3 up and running, done a ton of mods on the rom...just a few bits n bobs to finish off :D

After a flash with wipe, I have functioning lock wallpaper and themes are working too....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
Excellent. Did you experience the lock wallpaper issue with the Beta as well? My puzzle is it happens not just on Alliance but also X-Note and Echoe ROM's. That's why I thought the TW issue might be valid - each time I was deleting the TW stuff after getting things stable. But even with all the TW stuff in placeand using TW as launcher, Alliance Beta has the problem for me even after clean install - I haven't redone either X-Note or Echoe as you posted Alliance would be not far away... :D

Mind you, both of those have some nice features - and the Boot animation for Echoe is pretty good.

One thing I have noticed is the ROM customisation efforts on custom ROM's might need to be defined more carefully - what I mean is (just as an example) you get the 4-way reboot menu set up then go into Wannam and promptly lose it altogether - the different ways to customise seem to cancel each other out.

Another thing that might be just me not knowing, but being able to remove a theme after applying it could be handy. By this I mean, I have my phone set up with my wallpaper and layout etc and then I apply a theme and it messes things up. It would be handy to be able to roll it back... Alliance deals with this by having the Alliance Manager where I can save my theme and just apply it - other ROMs aren't quite so friendly. (*grins* and I didn't discover the save theme function till AFTER I messed up my setup :()

And just to repeat, thanks for the work you put in on this...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nihal1983:
Sparky, hope you are using the latest base
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
I'm using ND3 which appears to still be the latest except for Asian firmwares...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nihal1983:
Sparky there seems to be new European firmware N9005XXUFNF4 with some enhancement like download booster etc :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Journyman16:
While there is news about N9005XXUFNF4 as an OTA in the UK, it doesn't seem to be actually available anywhere yet - Sammobile doesn't have it for UK versions - there's a Russian NE3 but that seems to about it for Euro versions. And the OTA doesn't seem to be a full ROM, just an add-on to a current ROM - it's 185MB in size.

For mine I'd rather see Alliance built on something with at least a little time actually running so we can know if it is a dud or not. And it supposedly comes with Knox 2 - anyone know what that does?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
Alliance N9005 KitKat v3 is alive!!!!

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358555886

Normal flashing instructions, needs a wipe to activate some mods....make sure you're on sammy 4.4.2 before flashing.

CWM ?

If yes put TWRP on it.

In the past I've noticed that some phones with Cwm don't like the manager.

TWRP solves that

If you flash the TWRP recovery and then from the rommanager you flash the ROM.

Most, if not all KK builds work on T-Mo as it's an N9005 like the Int models, just kernel is different. Usually T-Mo users just have to flash an N900T kernel with the build and voila werks. :good:

6 hour flight tomorrow - perfect for full customisation:)

Edit - unless I'm missing something, there seems to be no option to hide the smartstay icon in the status bar unlike on v2. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Kangal:
Make sure to grab a spare battery. I was in the exact same position when v2 first came out.

.....and I didn't have a spare AND ran out of mobile data @_@

I think I might be waiting a week to download v3, my internets not stable at the moment. Until then, I'll be trolling this thread :D

custumazation options

Hi evryone...

first of all props to sparky for a great work...

I do have though a couple of questions if i may...

1. is there an option for the theme to work also on the dailer and contacts app?

from the screen shots in the OP, the dialer is also themed there. but now, no matter what theme i choose, the dialer isn't effected.

2. green v in checkboxes (like in the auto checkbox in the brightness slider)- Is there any way to theme them?

tried looking in the color option but could manage to find the option.

3. Stock clear notificatiins button- love the aosp clear button. but when adding it, it doesn't replace the samsung stock one. it only adds the aosp one. there is no need in 2 buttons. is there a way to get rid of the samsung one?

thanx guys...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] amirsat2012:

I only removed knox stuff and containers....oh and possibly a bit of sammy junk from sdcard...

Mods are coming tonight...will be delivered via OTA :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
First OTA ModPack is up!!

Lots of ui color change stuff, kit kat gradient status bar, battery picker (a couple of duplicates) color change dialpad (call and video call buttons still need doing) unlim multiwindows, call record mods, mms mods, torch on lock enabled, alliance settings added to settings and probably more :D

When text is removed from toggles they look a bit off, some mods are still a work in progress. As stated in F.A.Q not all Custom Settings work, if it doesn't work it's not in yet...

Masive massive thanks to Goldie!!!

Changelog to be updated...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RawR Cheeze:
I used to rock your rom back in the S2 days, i switched from android but decided to buy a note 3 and im happy to see you here!

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:

did as you said. can't use rom customizer to reflash because the rom file is on my external sd...rom customizer only lets to flash from internal memory.

I am on twrp, though when clean flashing, and no wipe flashing, I don't get any install options. it flashes the rom and asks to reboot into system. no aroma...

did everything else you said here and didn't work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sparx:
You will only get options via Rom Customizer...why not just move the rom to internal sd? Or in settings un-mount and re-mount ext sd, Rom Customizer will see it then...

Still playing with things but very pleased so far. And I have to say, battery is damn good - now I know I didn't use the phone much last night, but I deleted a series of stuff I didn't want, (hoping not to delete things that would break other things - seems to be OK so far :D) thencharged to 100%, did a couple of messages, had power saving, wireless, data on but GPS and BT off, and I got 16 hours for >2% use!!! Best yet.

Also with power saving off, the animations scales in Developer set at 0.5 and GPU rendering ticked, I got 35880 in Antutu.

Bloody good ROM for a 1st release... :D (or at any release level really)

Is there a way to change the signal icon colour? I can chage the type but can't seem to find a colour option.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ronvasse:
If you go to the customsettings.

Then colors and in the linked color you can tick signal or untick it of course.

Separate colors there you can give it an other color then the rest

Having said that in separate colors there is no option for the signal ?

I found a way that does it - go into Linked Colours - Statusbar section - and make wifi and signal are unlinked, then go into Colours - Unlinked Colours - Statusbar and set the colours.

Does seem to be an issue with wireless - restarting the phone turns off wireless - I've turned off anything in Wireless - Advanced that might change wireless status but still happens...
