Tried to downgrade to V5.6:

Wipe for new ROM installation in Philz REcovery, flashed V5.6 but it hangs at the Alliance triangle shortly after the startup sound is played. The triangle is not moving anymore.

Any ideas?

Modem/Bootloader ist BOA3 for the G900F.

Tried to flash the Bootloader and kernal again, tried to wipe again, tried to install 5.6 again... No effect :(
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PIRATA!:
What happens when KNOX is triggered? I'm new here and like to understand this.

About my other question on custom kernels, I haven't seen any infos of custom kernel, or at least not in the same weight as it was with old Samsung devices.

Is using custom kernels something like an old concept of working now with S5? I come from an S3 with custom kernel with nhanced Boeffla Sound, Zen Scheduler and ZZmove Governor.

Are these things obsolete nite with S5?

What does the Alliance Rom use as custom kernel, or is the stock Samsung kernel better?

So your rom is mainly made for 900F?

Which option are we talking about?

Thank you.

I was talking about the bloatware. Unfortunately this is the only version of this rom I have had issues with, I simply cannot work out how to fix it being so slow, it's that slow it's almost unusable. I also tried it by doing a full wipe and then restored my data but no good.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tarekboukaf:
hi, nice rom as always, but, i have some prblm with the brightness slider, it disappears by it self, i have to check it again under the alliance settings!

Thanks again and again!! :D:D

Updating Bootloader and Modem

Hi everyone!

I managed to flash the rom without successful bootloader and modem update. The room is working so far although there was a minor hiccup during the installation when I had to pull out the battery during booting (it was taking more than 1hour) and the initialization didn't start with English.

I would like to know how to update my bootloader and modem properly.

- I'm using Oden 3.09.

- I ticked Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and Phone bootloader update. The screen showed pass but when I checked it still stays at ANE9

- The same for updating modem but without the "phone bootloader" option checked.

I have no idea what could go wrong. I also have tried unchecking "Auto Reboot" and manual pulling out the battery to boot into recovery but it still doesn't work.

Anybody have any idea? Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Tri

Edit: I was coming from v5.6, using TWRP, flashed from zip in TWRP.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] finbarr1969:
The problem for me was REBOOTING the phone into Download mode. You MUST instead turn the phone off (Some people advise pulling the battery for 30 seconds) then BOOTING into download mode.

Worked for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] FantasyFlow:
Edit: Sorry, misread your post! I will try it soon! Thank you! :D

Edit2: It is indeed my problem!! Thank you!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
Read some pages before. I had the same problem. I quoted a link someone posted with the steps must be used to flash modem/bootloader.

After flashing the right modem/bootloader batter is definitely better..

For all that say the rom is not fast, something is wrong with installing the rom. At least to g900 f which i have, the rom is fast. Definitely faster than kitkat. More smooth with original kernel..

Anyone saying the opposite means something get wrong..

There are theming problems but rom is at least as good as original.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] finbarr1969:
Definitely agree - Just flashed Stock Kernel for the G900F and it is so much smoother than the KT Kernel for me. Stock kernel was posted a few pages back by [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION], I have also included a link in my signature.

Great work as always :good:

No problem - Glad it helped! :good:

I have the G900F, unbrandet (bought via Vodafone Germany). Tried to reinstall V6 again -> same effect :(
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
Do you have the right bootloader and basebad?

I believe you have wrong basebad. It wont change as many times as you reinstall rom.

Check if you do have right basebad, as the one in firsf page.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:
At the moment I've installed:

G900F-LP-XXU1BOA3-BOOTLOADER.tar.md5

G900F-LP-XXU1BOA3-MODEM.tar.md5

I'll try the BNL9 as soon as the download is complete.

EDIT: Still not working :(

Another problem: I'm getting the message, that I don't have enough story for installing a new app. I've uninstalled some big games, but still the same. NEver had this effect with 5.6 :(

Great that it's working on your device :)

I tried the "normal" messages app and the google messenger, both without success....

Could this be kernel related?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] hugothebas:
Hello folks,

I just wanna say thanks to everyone who tried to help me, I finallly managed to solve the no signal problem, the problem was that when I was at Alliance 5.6, i booted into download mode (using power menu) and flashed stock Lollipop BOA3, so the bootloader was upgraded, but modem was not. I looked at Device Info and saw it was still on ANJ5 baseband. To solve, I powered my phone off, and booted into download mode using keys combination and flashed stock rom again (BOA3), this time the baseband was upgraded, then i flashed Philz recovery and then Alliance 6.0

Everything is working now, LTE and wifi are very fast and stable.

The only problem I have, is with theme colors, toggles, etc, but that was already discussed here and I hope the devs release an update soon, so we can customize the themes.

Olá pessoal,

Só quero agradecer a todos que tentaram me ajudar, finalmente consegui resolver o problema de não ter sinal, o problema era que quando eu estava na rom Alliance 5.6 eu entrei no modo download (usando o menu power) e instalei a rom Lollipop BOA3 de fábrica, então o bootloader foi atualizado, mas o modem não foi. Eu verifiquei nas informações do dispositivo e vi que ainda estava na banda de base ANJ5. Para resolver, eu desliguei meu celular, e entrei no modo download, usando as combinações de teclas e instalei novamente a rom de fábrica (BOA3), dessa vez a banda de base foi atualizada, então eu instalei o recovery do Phil e depois a rom Alliance 6.0.

Tudo está funcionando agora, 4G e Wifi estão muito rápidos e estáveis.

O único problema que tenho, é com as cores de tema, dos toggles, etc, mas isso já foi discutido aqui e eu espero que os desenvolvedores liberem logo uma atualização, para nós podermos customizar os temas.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] lahceneamine:
Unfortunately not, I moved to lollipop version.

It was working well on kitkat.

I'll try to find myself :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
Did you CHECK THAT NEW FIRMWARE has been installed? Odin says everything went ok but nothing actually flashed.. Read some pages before.

If new basebad has been flashed, i dont know, but i believe you still have the old...

That was my problem and probably most who has problems..

With old modem, my phone also worked ok but used more battery
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] melorib:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:

Assuming you have contacted your provider and checked all you messaging settings?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:
Didn't contact the provider via phone, but checked the settings from the web page. The number of the message central is set right. But a wrong setting would only prevent the sending of messages. I do not know any settings which could prevent the receiving of SMS. Or are there any settings I could check?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
[MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION] or anyone else on the 5.0 lollipop ROM, first it looks very nice and cobgrats on the work! Secondly, are there customizations to change the look of the WiFi icon or data icons in the notification panel to look like googles AOSP 5.0 icons? Like the solid ones... Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
Your device is definitely 900f and you have tried with the bootloader and modem in the OP and checked they both installed?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
They are part of the alliance dark theme available during install
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
Just for clarification, I can choose for the icons to look like this? And are there battery customizations too (ex. The one I have or cyanogenmod I believe its called)? Because that would be incredible! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Goldie:
The icons are as shown on the screenshot. Wifi is solid. Signal is not. Battery is 3minit so if it's available on there then yes you can use it

It's definitily G900F, I've flashed modem and bootloader from the OP and the systeminformation tells me:

Baseband is G900FXXU1BNL9, Kernel is Ktoosez01.20.1015

so it should be ok, shouldn't it?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] hugothebas:

Pull battery before replacing and booting to download with vol down power and home
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
Nothing important. It's just a counter or flag to see if a custom kernel or recovery was flashed to the device.

Is supposed to be kind of warranty flag for Samsung. But you have to check your local/country specific warranty rules if this applies to you or not.

There are many custom kernels available for the S5 too. AllianceROM v6 is comming with KT kernel by default. But usually you have the option to install it along with stock kernel or KT kernel.

With KT kernel you can use the kernel configuration app to set and change various system settings, such as CPU governor, IO scheduler, etc. Similar to custom kernel settings on the S3.

What kernel is best for you ... check yourself. I like stock kernel ATM, but maybe I will try KT kernel (or another custom kernel) soon too.

Check first post for which S5 variants this ROM works. But yes, it's mainly for the G900F and similar models.

Scrap this: I deleted app data and resynced , problem gone.

My Google calendar is confused about time. My wife has an HTC on lollipop and her phone behaves differently; she does not have the problems I have so I wonder if somehow it is the alliance ROM as unlikely as it seems. Googling finds no similar reports. On my phone the day view shows the wrong time. If I have 24 hour time set, day view labels each slot 30 minutes early. A 10 am appt shows as 9:30. With am/PM time, the 10 am label is 9am. The time zone is correct and in agenda view there is no problem. S Planner is good too (and it's a lot faster now btw)

Its probably not a problem of alliance, but lollipop :

I have a Bluetooth gamepad which worked fine in kitkat alliance. Now it can't see it at all.. I actually using it alot, but don't want to go back to kitkat..

Does anyone have an idea if i can do anything?

Perhaps take some bluetooth kitkat files and use them instead?

All other bluetooth devices working ok.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] FantasyFlow:
I do think that abstract tiles unlock effect is different from the one in 5.6. I dont know if it's intended.

Instead of maintaining the tile shape during the end of the swipe action, the tiles will be broken into lines right before the screen is unlocked.
