Glad you got it sorted buddy, for differences between the 2 i would refer to page 1.

When it comes to themeing i cant do squat i leave that to the talented ones.

One last thing, refering to your question earlier in regards to TWRP, yes i recommend updating it as the 1 i linked is giving restore issues. Maybe go with Ktoonz version of twrp
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
You just change color and theme type settings to what you like and change wallpapers etc then press create theme. That it.

Also...there are no new themes on v8
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] srdryl:
How do u change or customize the wallpaper or font colors or background... All I see is create theme & all I see is it asking for a name, but how do u create it??
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] don1bong:
you may experience issues changing wallpaper as i di but a quick search revealed this info

Use a file explorer that has root capability (i use ES file explorer)

locate: /data/system/users/0/wallpaper

and delete "wallpaper"

then that should allow you to change as you wish..

[MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION]

Hi and many compliments for your work.

I have a couple of questions for you.

I have a S5 Prime phone, a SM-G906K one with Qualcomm 805.

Your rom it's not compatible for my phone, but as I world like to remain on TW based rom, I have not so many variants to be with, so the most interesting for me world be to remain Odexed with my stock firmware and just root it.

I'm not that bad in reading the Aroma installer's script files, so I was thinning:

"as your rom is based on stock Odexed firmware, maybe I could get some apps/tweaks form your rom, as it should use stock S5 files or compatible S5 stuff, and just put in on my device manually using Aroma file manager or so, as my device is still an S5 and should use the same base firmware as any S5"

The question is: "opening and extracting your rom on disk and reading the Aroma installer script, will I find all your mods files and stuff separated in folders so to just get the files related to them and insert then in another system like mine?"

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
The rom is not odexed it's deodexed

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
[MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION] I'm on the ported version to Verizon and I have a few problems with v8. First whenever I enable to alliance app bar, nothing changes at all in the notification panel or anything (unless I'm not activating it right) and that when I hold down the power button, nothing shows up like the power menu and it freezes for a second then reboots. Any help would be fantastic!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mustardman29:
Took me awhile to figure this out. It's because the default theme puts white letters on white background. I had that problem for dialer and settings screens. So you have to go into the theme and change that. The other thing that took me awhile to figure out is that you have to reboot for some of those changes to take effect. At least for me that's what I had to do.

Those settings are all a bit hidden if you are not familiar with Alliance ROM. A lot of documentation seems a bit out of date based on older versions. Some things have been moved around, changed, renamed which makes things even more confusing. At least seemed that way for me.

Find icon called "Alliance Control". In there press the "About" button in the upper left then select "Themes/Colors". The next trick in that window is to swipe to the left which then provides several layers. The two you are looking for are "text colors" and "background colors" at the end after sweeping to the left 5 and 6 times. Most text colors with the exception of settings text do not appear to change until you reboot. Maybe there is an easier way then rebooting but that's what I did to make the changes take effect. For Background color I made sure "Settings" were in "Whitelist" and then press "enable custom background" checkmark and select a color other than white.

It's all quite confusing to navigate frankly. Also the inconsistent behaviour of having to reboot for some changes but not others had me stuck on that for awhile. Thirdly I found the naming a bit confusing. "Linked theme color", "quick link color", "main color", "app tint". Just not sure what the heck half that stuff means. I know there are various explanations scattered about here and there but this XDA site has become a huge clusterf**k to try navigate and track down info.

Nobody should be complaining from a lack of theming options on this ROM though. That's for sure.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
OK...so what I got from that post is you want less time spent on the rom and more on writing instructions for people who don't like to spend some tome figuring stuff out

You know maybe one of the 50k people who installed will one day offer to spend some time and redo the current themeing guide. More likely they will just point out things they find difficult. Who knows....

For info you don't need to reboot for anything...just swiping away in Recents is enough or restarting ui for statusbar components

Just use one of the prebuilt themes if it's too much from alliance manager
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mustardman29:
You are intimately familiar with the ROM so you probably don't understand what it's like for someone who isn't . I'm not complaining. It was a bugger for me to figure this out first time using this ROM that's all I am saying.. Just being honest and not trying to sugarcoat.

Actually I am not complaining about lack of instructions. I just expect that with this stuff. I feel the GUI could be MUCH more intuitive. I am not really complaining about that either. I consider it a work in progress. There are a sheit tone of features so that can't be easy to put in a GUI while also making it intuitive.

[MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION] I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work! You've done an awesome job and I truly appreciate it. I'm in awe of how I can have a S5 that is truly unique to me!! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
I understand that. The point is...many many people point out there is a lot to learn but no one ever offers to do anything about it. We spent countless hours working on the rom. It's not at the top of my list to spend some more documenting every little thing that changes from the already comprehensive pdf
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MRDOCA:
Sorry if this has been answered already but couldn't see anywhere.

How do I fix this?

Lol mid coc battle even
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mustardman29:
I hear you. I do have one request which would have made my life much easier first time installing this. Correct the white text on white background on a new factory default install. For me that was the Dialer and Settings screens which are the 2 most important ones. Almost made me abandon the ROM thinking it was defective.

I'm guessing it was due to a change in Lollipop on the background colors compared to Kitkat
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PIRATA!:
Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

Well... I'm asking the same as I asked, but this time applied to a stock Deodexed rom for my device that I can flash.

Please let me know.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] txr33:
If read maybe a page or two before it says the issue and that a fix is in alliance software update addons. Flash it with rom customizer only.

Well the port has problems. All that works fine on intl base

It has been fixed in v8 so no white on white text if install rom with stock theme. However you will have some black on dark if install rom with a dark theme. Pretty simple to resolve either way

Are you serious? I just released v8 on oc7 base. It takes a lot of time to bring this over to new bases as it is not just a simple stock deodexed rom like most others out there. Od3 so far is only released by one carrier so until it is on all im not even going to look at it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] txr33:
Our mods are not just in a folder which contains only modded files and works on all firmwares, our mods are entwined within framework files and system apps for the base they are made on so dont think it will work by just copying them across to another device model

Will try fix that up later and put in add ons. I must of missed a xml or colour when bringing the theme over to the new base

i have this only happening with WeChat , Whatsapp is fine etc. could be a dpi thing ? guess not !?

Hi! Great rom! :good:

I was little confused :confused: couldn't verify AllianceRom_V8.zip until realised the hash on first post is wrong and It's the sum of the previous V7.1 version

You should probably correct MD5 Sum below DOWNLOAD V8 HERE.

I believe it's supposed to be:

instead of
