[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
The rom is amazing. Very stable, fast.. There are theme mistakes, but nothing to pressing.

I advise as soon as you install rom and most importantly apps, to take a backup with twrp, and then play with themes. So if you can't get the look that you want, you have the backup.

Two questions :

1. Can i have alliance rom settings icon to notification panel, as i had it in kitkat alliance? Is there this option and i haven't see it, or not yet?

2. In cyanogen lolipop there were an option for per application to choose if we want to see statusbar (expanded desktop), or not..

Is there any option /application /patch to do this here?

Thanks,

Private mode works fine for me. Just tested. (W8, full wipe, KT kernel, deloat both, dark theme)

Though I'm not sure why you'd want to use it. I freeze and hide all those stock apps and use quickpic, esfilemanager, etc. which have their own hide/protect modes and are just better apps all around.

Don't get the Camera icon issue on the lock screen you reported either.

A user warned of that a few pages back. Others have said basically the same generally about applying or switching themes.

Need to do a backup right after install.

It sounds like there is no way to get back to post install default if you didn't backup, without reinstalling the rom. But I'll let them confirm that again.

I will say it again....if you are not willing to try to fix any issues you find yourself from custom settings.....DO NOT TOUCH THE THEMES

Sooo slow?!

Is it me or is this ROM way to slow?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] meboy:
It's you. :p

Noticeably faster than v5.6 KK, stock kernel for me. Except app switcher.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Gragono:
haha sure.. this is alomst the slowest ROM i've ever seen.. and i did u full wipe ect ect..

Can someone tell me why it is so slow?

I found that unticking Smart Network Switch in Settings>Wi-Fi helped for me.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Let me consult my crystal ball.....

App switching via recents is slower but that's a general tw lollipop issue and happens on non modded.

End of the day....don't like it....don't use it ;)

You gotta remember this is a starting point from Samsung for lollipop. Kk had many updates and then we had more on alliance to get to 5.6. We have had to start again so I am the first to say things may not be perfect.

Saying that....its what's important to you. Something being slightly slower in a few areas but let's you remap you hardware keys for example or staying on a basic stock rom but accepting limited functionality. It's what works for you.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Gragono:
haha That's why i wanted to know if there was something else what could change it.. cos i do like the ROM, only got a bit disapointed how much slower it is then the earlier kitkat version.

Alliance v6 much slower then Stock

Hi Guys,

why is the AllianceRom v6 so muuuuuch slower then the Stock Android 5 on the S5??

With Stock Rom I have 44.276 points. With the Alliance Rom I have just 40.000 - 41.000 points....

And it doesnt feel sooo smooth then stock version... :(((

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] hugothebas:
I don't know the answer, but I know it just happens wirh Alliance, I flashed Xtrestolite today and its not so slow

I was using Alliance 4.6 till tomorrow, the best ROM I've tried for my S5 so far. But, this version 6 has a lot of bugs. I'm sure Goldie will fix that and I'll can use it again.

I also had problems with phone colors, if I change the letters color, there are some apps with black background that becomes impossible to see and if I set the letters color to white, the opposite happens with white background apps, I couldn't manage to set right colors.

But I only have to say thanks to Goldie.

Sorry for my bad english

After instal that ROM without wipe data factory reset i see i have half less options in aliance ROM settings... I was thinking should be like that but even i can't change toggles... And u writing guys is 30 of them... Thats mean i should reinstal that ROM or problem is somwhere else?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] silencer2010:
Ok, we will inform on our youtube review channel better not to use your software. That you think by yourself it is too slow and too buggy and better to use other software from better developers.

And we even can inform, that you cant get any critics, but it is ok. Great other developers can, to get better. Stay on your level.

Thanks for information for our review, very interesting for our viewers :)

Have a nice day.

Don't think you can say it's Alliance because all users would be getting that.

It's quite a bit faster than v5.6 with stock kernel for me.

Not just a matter of opinions either. I'm damn picky.

What are you guys doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] melorib:
Thank you, it doesnt show there either...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] super_extreme:
Do you want to blackmail Goldie that he makes a better ROM?

If it doesn't suit you, just go elsewhere, you don't have to use this.

Don't know how you'd get it back since there is no longer an icon in settings like there was with v5.6.

Sorry for that.

Just saying what happened to me. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not, I've followed the instruction in the main post.

Maybe its because my phone is G900M variation, and I can't flash the bootloader and Modem indicated in the main post (Odin fails).

But I'm not sure, Xtrestolite was based in same release that Alliance was

Ah, I forgot to mention that I got no network signal and wifi was too unstable.

Anyway, I'll give it another try later, at home.

Lol I'm working on it. We used to have it in Settings but since it moved to app drawer we didn't add it. Didn't anticipate someone hiding it. Am finding out from our app Dev how to show it again as I pushed original and it's still gone. Will get back to you!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Yeah I saw this. It's on the list of stuff to do.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] meboy:
I'd give it some more tinkering from the beginning.

Mine: W8, full wipe, KT kernel, debloat all, dark theme, no bootloader or modem. Disabled the auto switching wifi/network connection during setup (been a headache since it came out), no google or samsung restore of settings, installed apps fresh and then restored app data with TB.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Quick post to keep the thread happy....

Firstly we do appreciate feedback and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

"Hey I noticed xyz happens (insert log or screenshot). Take a look when you get chance" = Good

"Hey I changed xyz now abc happens. HELP" = Bad

"Hey...this is real slow. In facts it's the slowest ever" = Bad

...you get the idea.

We do not claim anywhere that this rom is the fastest available. I do virtually 0 modding to make it faster than a stock rom. If you want superlite with nothing running then this rom is not really for you.

What it does have though is things we like. I can make my phone look how I want it. I can use back to kill and screen recording and get the heads up notifications in check. You can't do that on any superlite speed style rom.

So take your choices. Stay and put in some effort maybe reporting issues correctly and politely and not expecting immediate to the minute help or simply do not flash it at all. It's no loss to us and you will be a lot happier.

Thanks for reading :)

In fact, your setup is very differente from mine, I did a full wipe too, but installed google and samsung bloat. I always turn off wifi/network switching, for me this feature is useless, but restored settings and data from google and samsung and restored apps and data with TB.

Well maybe those were the problems.

I'll let you guys know the results.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:
What exactly does this mean?

Not to change a theme or not to cusomize a theme? I understood, that I should not try to customize it.

Wiping the data of the AllianceROM Settings had no effect :(
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Installing a theme from alliance manager will change a load of stuff. Some of that stuff that was right on Kk cos it was dark is now light. I spent ages on KK finding and fixing these. We've not had time to do that yet.

So you may end up with some light on light / dark on dark if you start installing them. Most can be fixed by enabling/disabling text colors or bgs but you may have to do some investigation
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:
Ah ok... now I understand.....

Then I will try to find out what needs to be changed....

But it would be really great if ther would be a method to switch back to the "original" theme :)

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] melorib:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
The bad thing, is that even when you backup original theme and setting of the rom, (before apply any theme) even if you restore it after install a theme, it doesn't work well.. Some things (inks etc) doesn't restore.

I think this is what must be fixed. Or ONLY ONE theme that would restore everything back to original.

Themes are much and needs many time to fix all, and i believe it shouldn't be a priority.

Try installing a new launcher. Nova maybe... Probably won't work but it's worth the shot...

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Making a backup before installing any theme is pointless as the database does not contain any entries for any of the custom settings and as such it backs up nothing.

Hello, after a short period of testing and customizing the new 6.0 rom I am very satisfied!! I changed from alliance 4.6 to xtrolite 5 beta, because I wanted a LP rom, and I am happy to be back!

The few glitches were already mentioned.

I experienced that you can reduce the "lag" feeling by adjusting the minimum CPU frequency in KTweaker (from 300 up to 450 / 500 p.e.)! Will even try to flash the newest KT kernel (30.1.)
