I hope Bean it's ok we haven't heard from him in two months last thing I read was that he had issues with swappa since his phone was coming up as not paid completely and he was trying to solve the issue

Problems with Google Play Services update...

My phone didn't handle the recent PlayStore/OTA update to Google Play Services (gmscore.apk) very well. Hangouts opened with an error, and the app name changed from "Google Play Services" to "Easy Unlock". I tried a variety of maneuvers to get a clean install of the latest GPS release, but only when I deleted the GPS app completely and downloaded the latest apk release from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655041090 was I able to get a clean install and eliminate the problems I was having.

You can always install a newer modem with no issues.

I am build 2 of this ROM (05/28/14), and using NG3 base band with no issues.

Does anyone know if the AOSP theme is in the rom now? Like in the International build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Lol oh damn thanks for the heads up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] butterfff:
Do you currently use Alliance Rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
No I'm not why
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] butterfff:
I wanted to know if the AOSP theme has been put in the rom yet before i install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Oh ok sorry not sure I seen it on the international version of Alliance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
So, does does this mean he is done with the S5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] axel06:
No idea - why don't you head on over to the LG G3 rom site and ask him there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 42freelancer:
Does anyone know of a way to change that blue section color at the top there? Not sure what to call that area, but it's everywhere. My messages, my dialer, here in the Alliance settings. It's unsightly, that Samsung blue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] axel06:
"Rom Customizer" icon: Click on Rom Settings go to Custom App Settings, then to Xposed Settings / Modules/ Wanam/ Theme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 42freelancer:
I have looked through there and changed a bunch of things, making sure to enable the on/off switches in all of the sections I changed and it's still blue. Could you indicate exactly which setting I'm looking for? As I said, and honestly I'm really not trying to be rude, I don't know what that section would be called. Thanks for your previous reply :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] shentheory:
Awesome looking Rom!!! I am having an issue when customizing. After rebooting the UI, all icons on the right (signal, battery, Wifi) disappear. Then I noticed that if I moved the clock location from Center to Right, it too disappears. If I move the clock back to center, it reappears in the center. I have rebooted several times and everything is still missing from the right side. Has anyone else had this issue?? Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 42freelancer:
It could be that you're adjusting the size to where they're either too big and pushing all of the others off the notification bar. I did that when I first got the rom. Try adjusting the sizes if you have messed with those. If not, adjust the opacity of the text color. Maybe they're TOO opaque?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] shentheory:
Thanks, i'll give that a try. Would those types of settings stay even if i switched to a preset theme? I tried loading several of the themes that came loaded, and the icons where still missing. Thanks again for the fast reply!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] butterfff:
Does anyone know why when i use the AOSP theme the only thing that gets themed is the notifications, the settings, dailer and other things that are supposed to be themed aren't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] platijet:
What languages included on that ROM? Same like stock ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 42freelancer:
Not that I saw. I just changed my theme around a few times and noticed that mine didn't change in size. To reset mine, I reinstalled the whole rom. I know that sometimes sucks, but when I pull the noob card it's the best option if no backups exist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Goldie:
Slide this slider to the middle...let go...then back to right....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Goldie:
As far as I know the full AOSP theme is only available in the international rom. Dont think its here yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] butterfff:
I might try your rom out. Will i be able to get 4g LTE and Wifi Calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sshafranko:
Two things you won't get on an international based rom:

1. Wifi calling

2. VOLTE

Everything else is same and then some.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] shentheory:
I got it. You're the best. That transparency slider, I assumed the opposite. Meaning I thought the farther to the right, the MORE transparent. Turns out I'm a noob. But I got them back and now I'm customizing the crap out of this rom!!! Thanks again for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] snatale1:
Is VoLTE working in this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
I think so, every now and then i see the arrows everyone talks about....

This is by far my favorite rom I've ever had.

I almost wish there was a manual for all the customization options!!

What exactly does "Colors > Backgrounds > System" change? I've changed it a few times but havnt seen and differences. I tried adding Email to the whitelist of apps for a custom background (phone and messages were not listed) but didnt see any changes in email. Is it possible to change the background color of the Dialer, instead of just the numbers?? That would be awesome, as well as the background of apps like Messages and Email.

Regardless, this is a kick ass rom! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stangdriver44:
Not that familiar with this ROM and the various options, but usually the backgrounds it's referring to I think, are various settings menus of apps and the settings app itself. Not for sure though. You're right though, the rom is kick ass with all the cool options!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wrightperspective:
So this happened to me twice:

I made a Nandroid backup, flashed a different ROM and ran it for a few days. I didn't end up liking the Rom and flashed by backup of this Rom after cleaning everything but when it loads the apps, I get a message from each app stating that all the apps are force closing.

Is there a fix for this? I ended up restoring from TB but was curious about this situation. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] middleearth1010:
I would recommend doing a full data/system wipe before restoring backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wrightperspective:
I always do a complete wipe three times before restoring. That's what's confusing me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tensux:
you probably had a corrupt backup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wrightperspective:
It happened 3 times from 3 different backups. Strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tensux:
i restore this rom all the time. using phils recovery. can you restore other rom backups?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wrightperspective:
I'm backing up and restoring using Phils. What version are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tensux:

did you try both internal and external?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ARey1212:
Sooo ... I guess support for this rom project is dead? I tried messaging Beans but no response. Heard he moved on to the LG G3 but don't really feel like scavaging through forums for his posts. It'd just be nice to hear from him or know anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
I am guessing so, I sent him a message on the LG side but nothing also. Its a shame, I really love the ROM but I guess he has to do what he has to do....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:
I can see this being the problem going forward with other devs. Not saying Beans are any dev has to stay with any one device, just that they will upgrade just like we can.

With so many good devices out now, not to mention the good older devices (s4 and such) there's no real reason to be loyal to one brand or type. I remember the HD2 by HTC had so much development and many devs but then other phones started popping into the mix and devs started scattering. Just the way it is now.

This is still a good Rom! I use the international version and forgo volte and Wi-Fi calling, I know some need the Wi-Fi calling though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
Lol, I had the HD2 as well!!! The only thing I wish is that if the Devs are done with a ROM it would be nice to CLOSE the thread or POST something saying so. They say its rude to ask for updates and I agree but for the ones who contribute it would be nice to hear something....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] axel06:
He won't answer - I tried with many others, but he acts like we have the plague here. And I did not even ask when or whatever, just requesting feedback whether this rom has had it now or whether we can count on his support.

Amazing that he shows no allegiance ... strange to not even respond! Oh well, off to something else for me as well, I guess!?

" what lol? it has nothing todo with money. my tmobile s5 i bought from swappa ended up being blacklisted and i had to sell it with a bad esn to be able to recoup some of the money i had invested in it. also tmobile service just wasnt cutting it for me. seeing that verizon is still my daily carrier. although i am considering switching to att and using tmobile devices since they come with unlocked bootloaders. the future will decide for me i guess but right now i dont have the device so i cant do much with it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Simon Hammers:
So is this rom getting outdated or what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
No one knows its status at this time.... Its 2 or 3 updates behind but still one of the best out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KingVeto:
The ROM is about 3 firmware updates behind the newest firmware available. However, I still use this as my daily driver. The newer firmware updates have mainly dealt with improvements to VoLTE, but have also contained small improvements to performance under the hood. So, it's nothing earth shattering to be missing, but I think the main worry of everyone on this board is that it will no longer be updated at all and is essentially dead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] marlonmccarter:
Yes that's exactly it... but it would be nice to here something from Bean, don't you think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KingVeto:
Sure, it would be nice, but he doesn't owe us anything, you know? I can't get mad at someone for not updating a rom when I myself have no idea how to do it. I have no doubt it is a lot of work. But it's difficult to expect things when devs offer us these roms for free..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tenxo:

This ROM is completely perfect and I don't blame the guy for not popping in here. Its been on my S5 for 2 weeks now with no hiccups. He actually is active on the Verizon note 3 thread. He answered some of my questions. I also think he's waiting for lollipop, too.

I love this ROM so far but the only thing I'd like to change is the colors of the dialer and messages. They are white in the original TouchWiz but they're dark teal in this rom and applying themes doesn't change them...

I'm not familiar with theming so can someone tell me how I can get this ROM back to original colors of TouchWiz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Contivity:
Go to the Alliance manager and change your Theme back to S5Style, IIRC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] K-alz:
This is one solid rom. Been running it for about a month now and it's just amazing. I'm pulling at least 2 days with 3-4 hours of screen on time with some more juice left. Can't get it to die. I wish dev would add more features like the ability to color the keyboard and dialer(like the one in the note 3 I got). That's all can think of at the moment.

I can't run any custom kernels. I have an AT&T S5.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Any chance you could give tips on how to get that kind of battery life. I ran this rom for 4 days and every day I was dead after about 10 hours. I figured the first day or 2 could be attributed to letting the rom settle in but it never got any better. I can get 2 days it off the Dynamic Kat rom but I'm lost on this one. and I really like the features of this one just not the battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] K-alz:
Well, first off you gotta do a very clean flash like so:

1.Boot to stock recovery and do a factory reset

2. Reboot and get into Safestrap from the splash screen that shows up when you boot up and do a clean wipe there as well.

3. Flash rom. Once it's booted up don't touch anything for at least 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes are over don't set up your phone just reboot THEN go through the set up.

4. Once your phone is booted up go through the set up then when done reboot to SS and clean cache and dalvik then reboot.

5. Let the phone sit for another 3 minutes then do your normal thing.

6. Download greenify (get the pro version if you can and enable it in xposed framework). And greenify ALL the user apps. Just enable push notifications from within the "experimental features" in greenify so you can keep getting notifications even when the apps are greenified. I personally greenify even some system apps, but that's just me. it's up to you. You just gotta know what to greenify.

7. Download and use wakelock detector to detect what apps are keeping your phone awake and greenify them.

8. Uninstall ALL the bloat through titanium back up app and freeze the system apps that you don't actually need/use. Just be careful with the samsung hub app because uninstalling it may cause loss of screen rotation on your phone, but don't worry I have a fix for that. PM me if that happens and I'll hook you up or just go to the AT&T note 3 general forums and find my thread "fixes for everyone" and you'll find lots of goodies there ;)

I personally freeze all the samsung crap and Uninstall all of the Google bloat on my way.

9. Go into settings/accounts/Google and uncheck all the sync shiz.

10. Turn off GPS completely.

11. Go into settings/backup and restore and uncheck both boxes that say "back up my data" and "automatic restore".

Note: this whole thing is just me. Some people may not agree on some things, but I've never had a single problem with this set up. Also, I'm a very simple user. I have a total of 26 apps and I only do a few things on my phone: facebook, instagram, tapatalk/XDA, and some Web surfing. Any further questions feel free to ask, man. Let me know how it goes.

Enjoy :)

If the developers of this rom allow it I will post one in a week or so when my att s5 arrives and I get around to rooting it and installing alliance. Also if they are ok with it I will make the other changes to make this fully functional for AT&T so they can release it there if they desire. I'll be doing it for myself before flashing this anyway but I won't release anything publicly or in a pm unless I have permission.

Looking forward to using this rom. Thanks for all your hard work fellas and thanks to all the people who posted about this working for AT&T and what all needs done to it.

Anybody see the Lollipop Leak for Sprint Galaxy S5? Awesome to see it exists now in the free world.

I wonder if Sprint being a GSM variant like T-Mobile could allow it to be ported or tweaked for use. I know Beans isn't active in this thread anymore but it'd be great to see any Devs make an effort on it.
