No problems - All good

Flashed 2 hours ago and v6 is Awesome!

After the reading the last 40 or so posts its clear we need to ensure correct bootloader and modem for phone model.

I updated the BL and modem before flashing V6 (coming from KitKat) and absolutely no problems!

No wifi or data issues. No lag at all.

Actually quite the opposite...This thing flies, smooth and snappy. Definitely loads faster than v5.6.

EDIT: If Odin doesn't flash BL and CP just update your USB drivers as well.

Great work AllianceROM Team and VERY much appreciated :D

well 3 cause i to have the g900w8 version an the rom flies no problems here an i'm on the j1 bl
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pato_mld:
So I had the same problem and found out that my modem/bootloader wasn't being flashed properly, even when I used Odin to manually update it.

I got it working by getting the latest version of Odin (v3.10.6 from here), and manually flashed the latest files which were CP_G900FXXU1BOA3.tar.md5 and BL_G900FXXU1BOA3.tar.md5. After booting, go to your settings and under About Device make sure the Baseband version matches the files you flashed (so "G900FXXU1BOA3" for my suggested files).

Anyone who installed the original kernel, does it work? It stay in boot with samsung logo, with out write "boot:kernel".

I wiped dalvik and case.. Probably wrong as in lolipop there isn't dalvik?

I can go to recovery, try install the original kernel again, still the same..

Any link of ktoonsez kernel to try with it again?

Thanks,

Edit, i found ktoonsez kernel and booted ok with it again..

I don't know what is wrong but original kernel doesn't install on me.. G900f

Did you flash the right bootloader?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] :
I didn't change anything to bootloader.. Just the kernel i installed..

Anyway, now it booted with ktoonsez, I'll try download again the original kernel and try flash it again..

A quick 'Hi' to all the Alliance cookers--I'm a bit slow to the party but looking forward to getting Alliance ROM on my ,newly acquired, SM G900F--starting with your v.5.6 KitKat, then probably moving up to your V.6.

Thanks for all your work, as ever.

Iknow that I am waaay behind the times but--just flashed v5.6 and just to say that---it's great to have an Alliance ROM back on my device--feels great, seems great, installs real good, what more to say--thanks again.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] koragg97:
For everyone having issues with private mode, here's what you need to do to get it working.

1. Open build.prop and find the line ro.securestorage.support=true and change it to false

2. Reboot your phone

3. Clear personal page cache in application manager.

4. Enjoy S Health and private mode on a rooted phone with xposed installed ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
Let me try to help:

1. You have the stock kernel G900FXXU1BLN9 zip file for flashing in custom recovery?

2. You have a custom recovery, e.g. Ktoonsez TWRP (v2.8.4.2) recovery?

Then place the kernel zip file in the root directory of your internal or external sd card.

Boot into recovery.

Select to install zip from the sd card where you saved the kernel zip file, select the kernel zip file and flash it.

Then reboot the phone.

What exactly does not work?

Yes!! Actually i had twrp, not ktoonsez twrp.. Ok installed now ktoonsez twrp latest, to see if this has anything to do..

Nothing, the same...

The stock kernel i use is the one posted here some pages before..

If i install ktoonsez kernel, it works, original don't boot.

It stays in "Samsung Galaxy s5" logo WITHOUT TO SEE the messege set waranty bit:kernel with red color..

Really strange, i am not Newby. I must have install a hundred kernels, roms in many devices..

Is there anywhere else i can download the original kernel?

Only this i can think.. The download (i downloaded 3 times to be sure) looks ok but something is not good for not booting at all..
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Horgul123:
I'll try it out :)

Edit: first tests are looking good! Thanks a lot, you're great!

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
Have you flashed new bootloader (BLN9)?

Stock kernel needs ccorresponding bootloader to boot into system.

Ktoonsez kernel can also boot into system with old bootloader.

So that could be the reason ... you can check in Phone info * Samsung app (from Play store) which bootloader version you have now.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] n2nin:
??

Ok, a couple of questions before I screw my phone up:

1. I have a SM-G900T flashed with Alliance Lollipop using Ktoonz kernel and Ktoonz TWRP.

2. I'm still running the G900T Bootloader and modem. (G900TUVU1ANCH).

3. Samsung phone info app shows my model as a G900F, even though I know its not.

4. Can I flash BLN9 since my phone thinks its a G900F or is this only for the G900F hardware?

5. If so, I will loose root. Should I re-root with G900F or G900T (currently rooted with) CF Autoroot?

6. Basically, should I forget anything to do with the G900T software and use all G900F, or do I need to switch back and forth?

thanks in advance

I have a problem with bluetooth:

With 5.6 the phone could use the car radio for phone and media streaming. Now with v6 the phone is still working, but the S5 can't connect bluetooth media streaming.

I'm on the latest KToonsez kernel. Is buetooth a ROM or a kernel related problem?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Cance1987:
I didn't say there is no way to fix the button color. But I think it's a bug because I installed the ROM with the dark version and I think it should be black then by default. It's not a big thing just wanted to mention it in case nobody did. But thanks anyway for the help

I cant figure it out for the life of me.

I wasn't suggesting that to fix the button colors. I was saying that's how you fix the white settings menus. I also flashed with the dark theme, but had white menus. After changing the theme in ROM settings (Not theme manager) my backgrounds are all black, including my messages and dialer.

Hi to everyone!

I'm coming from S3 and I'm interested in this Rom.

I have took a look at the first page, and I wonder if this Rom is better based on custom kernels.

I ask this because I have an S3 now that has custom kernel with enhanced sound and good in using the Zen scheduler and zzmove governor.

Are these things still good on S5 or is the architecture so dissent that are better other schedulers and governors?

What about the enhancements in the sound? How is it the stock S5 sound?

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dimitristoz:
have u any popup like factory mode is on or something like that? Or it just reboot and u lose signal etc?

Well thats a way to remake your efs

In twrp adb terminal......
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thuglifesk:
no popups for factory. Reboots fine with full signal and then split 2nd it goes away. U think EFS is going bad only for this rom. I mean other roms are using the same base and its working absolutely fine.

i have g900h,as u probably know,samsung has released sources.

so i was wondering if there is any chance to develop your custom rom on our model or port it to our.

ty in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] DirkStorck:
If you have searched a bit you would have found, that this has been asked a few times and because they don't own the device they won't release a ROM for it....
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] txr33:
Not much to go off there. Could be kernel related or laggy cause phone is still setting itself up in the background with restoring accounts etc

I wouldnt flash a 900f odin firmware on a 900t but you should be able to use the rom by just flashing it in recovery. You will need to use ktoonz kernel on a 900t unless a 900t lollipop firmware is available then you can update bootloader etc but i would only do that if you want to use a stock kernel

I use my bluetooth in my car and also on a portable bluetooth speaker with no issues. Maybe forget the connection on both the phone and the car and re set it up

Its a dark material theme not a black one. As soon as we can get either an apktool that can decompile/compile contacts properly or a contacts that can then contacts/dialer wont change.

Also on with theme someone said about other menus being white. Well that is going to happen as some of those menus are called from other apks, one for example is called from contacts which cant be properly themed at this point in time. Personally im not going to go through every apk and theme it dark, especially when i dont use them all and have better things to look at

At this point in time I would say no. Allowing people to port our work will create some issues we would prefer not to have
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] chainzy:

I wonder if this Rom is better based on custom kernels.

I ask this because I come from an S3 with custom kernel with enhanced sound and Zen scheduler and zzmove governor.

Are these things good on S5 with the Alliance Rom or is the stock kernel better or are there better schedulers and governors?

What about the enhanced sound? Is there some what? How is it the stock S5 sound?

Thank you so much.

This is a typical Alliance/Goldie and Co. thread--man, it moves so fast; I'm still trying out the 5.6 but, to stay with the relevant posts I will probably have to flash v.6.

[I tried Lollipop on my SM N900 Note 3 and didn't really like the changes--although it was very fast and smooth--steep learning curve for an old fart like myself.]

If anyone is able to remember 5.6--is there any way to make the 'Home' key act like normal--i.e. bring the device back from sleep--I seem to always have to use the Power button--and, sorry if this has been asked/answered a zillion times but this thread is massive.

No we will not be updating the kitkat version. We have moved on to lollipop and will be focusing our attention on it

If you have safestrap then i guess you have a locked bootloader. Rom has a custom kernel which i dont believe you can use on a lovked bootloader

Have you tried an updated modem. I have no issues with signal on my current modem and other users have had that issue and changing modems fixes it for them

The state shown in alliance settings coming from a full wipe isnt always correct as the database value isnt set yet but toggling on and off will make it show correctly
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thuglifesk:
I think this network problem is related to the base lollipop rom being used. I have done everything that I could possibly think of. Flashed multiple boot loaders and modems. Went back to stock roms few times. Downloaded V6 few times. Checked MD5. Checked EFS. Rebuilt EFS. Tried different SIM cards. After all this I decided to see if other lollipop roms would work and I had the same issue with Masik Lollipop rom.

The only rom that works perfect is XtreStoLite. No issues what so ever. XtreStoLite is using BOA3 as base, where as Alliance and Masik are using BNL9. I am not knowledgeable with this stuff but that's the only difference I could find. I have been flashing roms for years but never had this issue. Specially with Alliance Roms.

I have been following the thread closely and it seems a few others are having the same issue. Some were able to fix it by flashing modems and bootloaders but others weren't able to resolve it. I think this issue deserves a deeper look from the genius devs!

So I have a G900W8 and currently on ANJ1 bootloader and modem.

Any help is grealy appreciated.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Anach:
I did try updating modem, but in the end what worked was an update to TWRP, then a reinstall of the ROM. So far so good.
