AllianceROM I9300 JB 4.3 Downloads

NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDE EQUALS NO DEV SUPPORT!!

Checksum JB XXUGNA5 4.3 :

MD5: 98bf1c61337f8f06296de1e79a82e101

SHA1: 4ec3b2e35e62edb1b09fcf934fa9d9fa6c4b654f

DONT IGNORE CHECKING THE CHECKSUM , JUST DO IT !!

HOW TO FLASH ?

Start with a Hash Check of the ROM-zip you just downloaded you will find the matching MD5/SHA1 checksums with the downloads.

Hash Checker

Coming from a AOSP ROM? Get to a rooted stock TW JB ROM first

Rooted TW ICS/JB ROM?

Flash via ROM-Customizer

Coming from any rooted TW ROM:

1. Put the ROM on your internal storage

2. Open ROM Customizer and choose flash file from SD

3. Ficeto improved the flash config so it works with rom Customizer now. So just choose the ROM from your internal storage and it will present you with the rom config in a pop up window.

4. From this window SELECT WIPE! You MUST! wipe or things will not work (unless coming from AllianceROM EME2).

5. If you currently have MG4 Modem already then UNTICK FLASH MODEM in ROM Customizer to save any hassle or reflashing or restoring efs

Piece of cake!!

Now sit back and enjoy the ride

[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Enjoy guys :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andr3y29:
Downloading it right now. Rally looking forward to this ROM, as everybody seemed to praised it's 4.1 version. Keep up the good work. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
In my opinion plz try to add improved ripple effects which i seen from this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/theme-mods-blue-theme-s3-t2538505 And http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/mod-inkeffect-choose-custom-color-t2101400 The both thread have provided same improved ripple effects. I tested in my own device, there have great effects much more effective than stock one. If it could be possible then plz just replace old files with these files. Many thanx for your work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
You mean like the improved ripple that originated in this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471373) thread? Which was done by Goldie and myself when playing with the ripple overlay? :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
Lol....that improved ripple you ask for came from my guide thread from findings of dazznuts and I. So...its already in as it came from us hahaha
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Thanks, always nice to hear people enjoyed the last rom also :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
Strange..... Sorry to say but there's no improved ripple effects, In your mod which i'm using now same as stock effects... Even i love the improved but here's not. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
Dont be sorry. I just decompiled the file and its there. What exactly is it you are missing? Please describe what you are expecting to see because one of the links you posted was for ink effect which is here as is watercolor and light effects
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
There's only expected to see is real effective ripple effects when we touch the screen the water colours shines more & more bright with high watter effects which i was feeling from other thread which i mentioned you. But in this mod there is nothing special improved ripple effects.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
I have no clue what you mean. You did turn on ink and choose a color right?

The simple fact is that the mod they have is the same so any difference is purely your perception
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrjoy:
Ok bro, its ok. just leave about ripple effects. I like your work. Just add more & more tweaks and mods as Jkay did... You are same doing. Than again
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
This one, really making my Sunday awesome bro, now I have some flashing to do tomorrow. btw, if I flash Note 2 Camera and Note 3 Keyboard, will they work well? Thanx again bro.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
honestly not tried as my device met the floor so all this has been remotely doing the rom and passing to testers, not sure any of them tried these, but let me know if they work mate and if people want it i can add to ota :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
too bad to hear that, sorry mate. it will be my pleasure to inform you. but that will be tomorrow. Thanx for giving us this. am soo excited, can't wait for tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Thanks for the update guys.

May I ask why you opted for the NA5 base instead of the latter NA7?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Because it took this long for samsung to get a stable stock rom (imo) I just went with it, then we got all mods ported etc I really didn't see the need to update the base again to a stock rom which is identical except for the modem and CSC used which are region specific, this is the only difference between NA5 NA7 and NA8 :)

Hope this answers that one :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
couple of very small things brought to my attention so will do a small update pack and pop in to ota at some point today/tomorrow :) nothing major just 2 apps missing :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
You know what guys.... I have not really been using yours roms since I was an S2 user and Alliance was always my goto rom. We may have to wait longer for an update than most roms... But the reason for that is obvious. Nothing else comes close to options and mods available. And that's just the rom, OTA yet to hit.

Good to be back. Coming from an NA7 rom feels like an upgrade!

Awesome work gents, good stuff :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yannis_labs:
Thanks.Downloading now and testing tomorrow morning .Keep up the good job....:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longlongriver:
downloading，thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yannis_labs:
I have flashed the rom......one thing i can say so far....... its AMAZING.Now testing Battery life,Gaming and Benchmarks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
did you use TWRP OR Philz Recovery? and can one use any?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andr3y29:
Got over night exactly 0s of deep sleep . 0. Usually got 0% dropped over night. How got 27 :| I tested latest linaro build Boeffla 2.2 beta 5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] yannis_labs:
Philz Recovery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
you can use any, i just prefer to twrp personally :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
anything keeping it awake? like media scanner (which is the main culprit for it after a flashing a new rom or update)?

Anyone else having issues like this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andr3y29:
BetterBatteryStats showed almost 7h ON some checkin service (part of GApps) and also 7h of GooglePlay Services. (They had exactly time: h,min,s). It's really strange as check.in was disabled by me earlier with SystemTunerPro.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
Personal experience, after flashing a New ROM or Update, charge the Phone to 100% until it says fully charged, that way, you allow the ROM/OS to settle. after all, one charge ain't enough to judge, may be two or three, and that includes a reboot or two. CHEERS.

Almost finished downloading, 1, 2, 3...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
I always advise a full cycle after any flash as the system sets up etc again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
AllianceROM 4.3 :D thank you for you're work. Great build.

Edit:googymax 2.1.8 is working well.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Go to lock screen in stock settings and set lock screen effect as ripple not water. Then go to custom settings and set ink colour "if you want" and you will see improved ripple effect. Water effect is stock 4.3 lock screen. Ripple has to be set for ink.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Madhina:
Can i flash this rom by using Philipz Recovery ?? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mkhawx:
Yes! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
Awesome ROM indeed

Wow, Wow, Wow, customization customization customization, lots of stuff to play around with, smooth performance with Boeffla Kernel 5.2 beta 5.

in short, I just love this ROM, everything is just soo gwud and the color saturation is just soo deep and vibrant with the stock theme. Thanx again, no regrets at all.

P.S. I flashed Note 3 Keyboard and Note 2 Camera and both work like a charm. CHEERS. and Happy Flashing everyone, I know some of you were waiting for a review, and I hope mine helps you. am sure battery is also gwud based on the performance so far, but am yet to test since I flashed only like 24hrs ago, only one full charge so far. :p:cowboy::highfive:

ROM: Alliance 4.3 NA5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Glad you like it. If you drop link to note 3 keyboard and note 2 camera ill drop them in ota :D

ive been waiting a while for a stable build of 4.3, i've made a base from nearly each released firmware and this was the most stable so far so decided it was worth release :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
Thanx again, you really did a great job M8. Today I checked, no bootanimations, opes you re add them, I wanna change mine. Here's the link to Note 2 Camera and Note 3 Keyboard (Thanx to _Sale_)

P.S. Could you also add HD VOICE to OTA, Thanx in advance.

ROM: Alliance 4.3 NA5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Bootanims ill have a look for we used to have loads for s3 :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
This is omni switch working on this rom very well. No FC and all works.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
And here's the apk if anyone wants it. Put in system/app set permission.reboot. Then go to app draw and switch on omni switch and set at boot.(top two options)Then reboot phone. Easy :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
OTA Contents

OTA has been updated a little with Fixes for torch and alliance backup and theme, also added note 3 keyboard and note 2 camera along with omni switch, enjoy :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Few old school Alliance bootanims also added to OTA :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
OP updated with info on Bootanims and also updated what is in ota :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
should be loads of bootanims in OTA, please test and let me know if there are any that don't work :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
And themes section for ota has a few options now for you guys, enjoy :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Anybody having issues with OTA not working? Boot animation applied but themes don't. Stuff downloads OK but doesn't seem to apply after reboot. Tried Philz and TWRP but same result. I remember there being an issue on the S2 where you had to use Ficeto stock kernel for OTA to work... Is this still the case perhaps?

Currently using Boeffla 5.2 beta 5.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
no nothing like special kernel needed, however it does work better with TWRP than CWM.

That being said what themes are you having an issue with and ill get my beta guys to get on to more testing for me to find the issue :) thilinaC elegant theme I know works as that was tested before putting in ota (like 30 mins ago), stock and alliance theme are the original 2 from the rom, so again these should work with no issues. What actually happens when the device reboots?

EDIT - for themes after you download it and it prepares the file it should boot into twrp/cwm (when you tell it to) and then actually flash the theme, then reboot the device, just making sure all steps work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Black glass was the theme I have been trying to install. I think there might be steps missing as when it reboots into recovery it doesn't install (no script). It just sits in the recovery menu. I remember in the past it would reboot install and reboot the phone as you said... But that's not happening... At least not for me :cool:

I'll try the theme that has just been tested and report back....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Thanks, the Glass ones are the ones that havent been tested on this rom yet along with the alliance theme black mode, was hoping for reports back from you guys for that and it seems to have worked :P

ThilinaC's elegant theme, Alliance theme, stock theme should all have no issues at all but keep me updated and ill look into the glass ones now thnx for the report :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Can confirm that the black theme also wasn't working for me as I tried that first.

Now can't seem to connect to OTA. Getting this now. Was OK earlier. Tried clearing Rom customiser data.... Still no joy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
am really experiencing very high RAM usage, don't know why, otherwise everything else is good.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
ota is defo up and running, just FTP'd in to be sure, can anyone else confirm?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
anything in particular eating it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
ok ota was down for beta testers too :P but i can access, is it still having issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Still no access for me at the moment...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Ok got rest of crew looking at this quick as im out at bro in laws but will keep you guys updated :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dikkebas:
Ota is up again for all devices:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ow3rk1ll:
Omg i just installed your rom thats amazing there is a lots of feature we can play whit thank you so much.. i have onr question how can i make my dialer and contacts background to black
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
here m8
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
cheers dude, what options did you flash with? as in alliance etc any themes or other mods, settings shouldnt be pulling that much on its own, did you wipe when you flashed?

thanks for the info mate :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
glad you like it, some themes available in ota, working on getting background to work in ota and will look at dialer and contacts shortly after ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
thnx bas :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] k4bbe:
Updated to TWRP 2.7.0.0 and black glass now installs fine. Still not playing nice with CWM though. Thanks again :cool:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Really should update that in the ROM :p, thanks for reporting back :) TWRP always plays nicer with RC for some reason lol will pop it in OTA tomorrow for the rest of you guys :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
My green chilled pull down :)

Great the way you can mix two colours together
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
I only selected Google Apps, and am using the Stock Theme, no any other MODS selected. I also did select wipe data/factory reset. I tried to uninstall some bloatware but not a big change noted, the free RAM even goes as low as 39 MBS only. well I understand "free RAM is wasted RAM" but when it comes to multitasking, it's really a big issue.

Maybe you can provide a list of Safe bloatwares to remove. Thank you in advance. The ROM is however very very smooth and I can live with this.

ROM: Alliance 4.3 NA5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Last night I had 6% loss with googymax.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Endless ways to theme pull down. :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
well, with mine boeffla 5.2 beta 5, I only lose 1-2%

ROM: Alliance 4.3 NA5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ow3rk1ll:
I try to flash some theme from ota they always failed no matter how many times i downloaded i try philz reco and twrp any idea what is the problem ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
which theme and what happens?

have you tried latest TWRP? im putting it in ota now for all who need it, when you say it fails what actually happens try 2.7 recovery (if you havent already)? more info you can give the better but im looking at a couple of the themes as there reports of them not working :)

EDIT - they already there :P thanks to [MENTION=1188811]dikkebas[/MENTION] on that one i guess :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ow3rk1ll:
Its 2.7.0 twrp here is a picture for more information thank you for your support
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dikkebas:
A longshot:D

Could you check in TWRP recovery if flashing isn't set for ext sd.

Press install end see what sd card is selected. If it is ext, just select internal and exit.

Next flash from RC should work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ow3rk1ll:
Its already selected as sdcard ? i also try to flash from ext same result
[Galaxy S III Android Development] longlongriver:
wish you could add multi csc support next time ,when i change the salescode to CHN,the phone.apk will fc
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
thanks for the reported issues guys, will try and look into all this tonight or tomorrow during the day and see if i can figure whats going wrong with ota content :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Nice s5 look. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Good look number two.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
OK stock and aosp theme reuploading to ota and should now work :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Will have a look at this today mate, seems to be a recurring issue for some reason :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
AOSP Black theme in ota this is to change contacts/dialler bg to black along with a couple of other bits, this NEEDS to be flashed over the AOSP theme or just wont look right, enjoy :D

Now to figure the 'updating partition details' issue with elegant theme then ill look to get BG sorted :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Backgrounds in OTA should now work properly :D enjoy
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Yes mate alliance black and backgrounds are working well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
So how we getting on with the rom guys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mosh Edd:
doing great on ma side, though High RAM usage really pisses me off, maybe tis just on ma side. CHEERS.

ROM: Alliance 4.3 NA5
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
interested to know if there are any other reports of this? and is it still settings causing the high usage for you?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
So I been busy....I made a new app that allows you guys to create your own themes. It backs up all color and theme settings and zips them with any wallpaper backgrounds. Then you can install them from a list of any you have on sd. This means all the people who wanted stock colors and theme style can install the StockTheme.zip and instantly have all stock options and you guys can all upload themes for others to try! :D

Sent from my GT-I9305
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
Sounds like a cool app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] andrewwright:
It's in the alliance mod thread so.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
As always Goldie mate, amazing work :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dazznuts2000:
All quiet in here, is this just because the ROM is stable enough and works that there is nothing to discuss? :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Goldie:
OK guys.....go get it :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698258

Alliance Manager is a one stop shop to create, install and backup your styles and settings. Users can create their own styles to upload for everyone to use. If you want your style including in the app or available for others please upload it and post it in this thread!! The app will show no preview for your style unless you include a screenshot png named preview.png.

NOTE: The backup and inclusion of dropdown, statusbar and system wallpapers needs changes to your ROMs. These will be included in the next released versions so at present these wallpapers will NOT be included until you get an update for your device :)

The main features can be seen in this screenshot:

- Create Theme - This will create a theme.zip of all your custom settings that relate to theme options with a name of your choice. This will add all colors and theme settings along with dropdown, statusbar and system wallpapers to a zip that can be restored by you or uploaded for others to use. They are saved in the Alliance/Themer folder on your internal SD.

- Choose Theme - Choosing this option will display a list of all Theme.zips in the Themer folder. It will show you a preview image of the style and on pressing install will change all your options to create the style in the preview and restart SystemUI and Dialer etc

- Create Custom Settings Backup - This will create a backup zip of all your options in custom settings which will be saved in Alliance/Backup. This includes lockscreen options, general mods etc as well as all the theme stuff that is included in the theme zips.

- Restore Custom Settings Backup - Obvious really....restores all of your options

The app will create all necessary folders on its first opening and there are 5 preloaded styles for you to choose from:

Alliance Gold:

Stock Samsung:

S5 Style:

The Driller:

KitKat:

Thanks, enjoy and maybe buy me a beer if this made your life easier :p

CREDITS: All of Team Alliance for testing this over and over and over again....Thanks guys :)
