Awesome rom, quick question probably asked over and over, but is there a way to have the dialer back round, and contacts, settings, and such match the theme I'm using the alliance aosp theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Chino9656:
The ROM (as with all ROMs for the S5) does NOT contain the bootloader or Modem, so flashing it alone will not change the baseband.

You can do this, however the baseband (modem) will not change, neither will the firmware base.

You should flash the modem and firmware, then flash the ROM. Or, flash the entire NG3 Full Stock base from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761412

After that, flash the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] highwaybandit:
I flashed rom then firmware after my baseband changed !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] djmouse:
I just flashed on att with a full wipe had to add apn but working perfect so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I searched to see if I can switch the dialer and contact, message app to stock white no luck can someone point me in the right direction thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbeebe24:
Did you try installing one from a previous build?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
No not sure on how to do that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbeebe24:
If you have a zip of a previous version just go to system/priv-app (in the zip) and take SecPhone.apk out and put it on your phone, replace the existing apk in the same path (on your phone), then reboot. The easiest way would be with Root Explorer unless you're good with adb.

Update and tips on new ROM.

Just an update, 24 Hours since flash

I am running B4 with KT's latest Kernel. I am also on the NG3 Filmware/Modem everything is running smooth. Of a matter of fact, Wifi-Calling seems to be improved, and so is call quality in general.

I have also noticed the battery life has improved. (it was stellar on B3 btw once system crap-ware was removed)

Thanks Beans for an awesome ROM. I will post any bugs if I come across any.

As for anyone having problems flashing the modem/firmware (i have seen it all over the thread)

You MUST pull the battery COMPLETELY for 10 seconds, then replace it and boot immediately into Download mode (Volume down + power + home) If you fail to immediately reach download mode and boot the phone otherwise, you must pull the battery and try again. It will flash but NOT stick if you don't follow this step.

You also MUST flash on the LATEST odin or it will fail to flash at all.. 3.09 if memory is correct.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Thanks will try that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbeebe24:
I don't want to be that guy, but can you guys discuss this modem flashing stuff in the other threads? The majority of the posts after the update have been about that.

I would like the same answer :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I don't beleive there is a Black Glass theme availalble for this rom - there was some talk VERY EARLY ON about adding it - but I doin't think it ever happened - Beans has done a great job with this rom and I guess he just never had the time to do that - i agree it would be awesome if it was possible.

I don't know how to do it or I would do it myself - but it would be incredible if someone could port the Black Glass theme from the International thread - there was a separate flash-able file in the International Alliance rom in an early version before it was 'baked into' the rom.

There is also a separate black glass dialer flashable file to theme the dialer in several different black glass styles - it would be awesome if someone could port that too -

by the way - for Beans 3RF68455LU8460802 - thanks for everything - buy a few six packs .... :) really appreciate the ROM - hope you find a way to get Black Glass theme running here....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GreyDark:
Excuse me if I'm being daft, but does anyone know where the directory for the TW Themes are?

After flashing over v4 ontop of v3, I realized that there's only 8 themes available now. There was a theme I wanted to use that I can't recall the name of hence why I want to find the directory and just push them all into the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ransz28:
Weird internet load issue. Clean flash and flashed a couple times...I am on B4 with NG3 firmware...Stock apps. I have tried using Chrome, Chrome Beta, Firefox and OS Internet and I get the same result. The issue is the page does not always load and either I need to toggle data on/off or stop the page and then BAM the page loads. Doesn't matter if it is a click through link from an app or I just to to use an internet app, I go to a page and it loads about 1/2 way and just sits there until I manually stop the page from loading OR toggle data on/off then the page loads.

Any words of advice for a solution?

Thank you

Hey everyone, I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I am on build 3 (I am going to upgrade to build 4 right now) and today, I am getting overlays when I first unlock my phone and when I bring down the notification bar (See attached) for Valentines Day.....? It's August. I am crazy confused why this is showing up and just curious whether anyone knows where this is coming from? Haha... Thanks!

EDIT: Is this the 'Festival Effects' listed in the change log? If so, how do I change my local for those? Or is there a way I can disable them completely?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
That is festival effects. You can turn them off, just search the forum.

Okay, first bug I found.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]

1. Clean flashed v4.

2. Restored using tibu pro

3. EVERYTHING was smooth and running 110% and even touch jiz was smoother.

4. Reboots were fine, no issue.... UNTIL THIS. ...

I let my battery completely die, then put the device on the charger.

After it reached about 40% charged, I went to turn the device back on and it was getting stuck at the boot animation for over 10 minutes.

Battery pulled to restart about 4 times, same results.

5. Dirty flashed v4 over my current v4 and same results.

Ended up clean flashing again and currently am restoring all my apps and data again. ... another couple hours and hopefully I have it back running.

It's 12:45 now and have work at 3.. so I'm hoping I get everything back before then.

Also, I saw a mention by [MENTION=3676716]mike28[/MENTION] I think about NG4 dropping. .. going to see why they hate you so much beans.

LOL

Are you using an ad blocker like ad away? I was having that problem a while back and pretty sure that's what I tracked it back to.

Started using MOAB ad blocker hosts file from here on xda and no more issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] steve97ta:
Could be that you're restoring your apps plus data. I've seen this in the past, might want to try clearing both caches after you restore everything. Just a suggestion don't know if it'll work though. I myself doubt restore any data just clean clean everything lol

I made a backup and came across this issue which happen before as soon as I go back to the backup I get force close on system to the point that it's useless have to clean flash again [MENTION=5799969]em0ney14[/MENTION] ng4 is now live says that it has some improvements in software and audio, it's crazy how bean releases the update and tmobile comes right out with another one lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lightninbug:
Yup could be come good fixes in this new OTA!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cdjaney:
I assume by your positive reaction that fixed your issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ransz28:
So far yes it has fixed it. I will report back IF the problem reoccurs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
yes, but you wont need to lol b4 is much better than b3

yes tmobile hasnt incremented the bootloaders yet so we can currently switch between any of the 5 tars. once they do increment the bootloader you wont be able to revert it they usually only do this on big changes like going to android L or a new knox setup

ya since its a new base definetly wipe

i needed to get the dialer and messaging dark like the international version first before we could do any themeing now that its dark expect some themes to appear :D as of now there is none u could try the themes for international but they might not work i suggest doing a nandroid first, i cant tell as my phone is currently out of commision

with mobile odin? mobile odin doesnt work on s5

no email mods yet i forgot about that but i will modify it and add it to the ota. and the localize format i think u can change in date and time. if not i will see if we can add something so users can create thier own custom format :victory:

not currently i will add a ota zip with white dialer tomorrow afternoon

u canc hange dialer nunmber color not whole dialer

to fix a coloring issue all u need to do is flash the s5 theme i fixed it so its looks like how rom is on a fresh install

thanks abunch

can u provide any bbs info? and anyone else have this happen

did u restore the apps data? if so then that is most likely the culprit

lol happens to the best of us

either or

mobile odin does not work on note3 or s5 after kitkat update

this one is based on tmobile firmware so wifi calling works, Volte works etc. international is based on international meant for international phones

no need to root. just odin a custom recovery and flash rom its prerooted

G900T_FirmwareOnly_NG3.tar.md5

jesus man u got enough apps Oo i have like 75 and think its too much im sure u dont use half of those lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
needed to get the messaging/contacts phone themed international style first so black glass would look goo i will promise i will get it done on build 5. ps- thanks appreciate the donation a bunch

seriously tmobile really hates me Grrrr....

on the bright side i have never seen a carrier put out so many updates in a small amount of time.. at least they are doing thier job lol

and on to my next job ng4 bases blahblah blah lol

I guess the only one way to find out is to try. I flashed everything yesterday to NG3 as the rom is built for and running smooth!

I also restored TB with app data by accident but it looks like it took with no issues thankfully. It is crisp, smooth and i haven't come across an issue yet.

Wifi calling and mms/sms over wifi calling seems to be working with no issues.

I did not have to adjust the APN settings, all was well.

so far i'm loving it, another masterpiece by beans!

check inside the google app u might have to turn on "ok google" otherwise it should work.

wanam is most likely causing issues. its strongly advised to stay away from xposed modules like wanam and gravitybox while running alliance as we have 3/4 of those mods built into the rom

Looking forward to trying this rom out. I just got my S5 a few days ago. Haven't rooted it yet. I thought I found the rom I wanted to use, AllianceROM v5.1 for SM-G900F. It said it worked with the T-mobile version as well. But then noticed no wifi calling (a must have for me). Luckily for me I found this one. So I will be rooting and installing this rom this weekend.

Just curious though. Are there any major differences between this version of the rom and the other one?

A combo of the theme aosp domination or whatever it is in alliance manager, and a theme called allblackbacks ive modded to work on almost any 4.4.3 rom but you would need to replace some of the alliance apps with international ones,theres alot more themed also didnt want to clog the thread with too many pics but, multiwindow, clock, my files, keygaurd, and a few more are also black and white.looks and runs great on this rom

Ok think I found something with sms/mms over WIFI..

It was working fine, then after a few hours of no notifications, I tried sending a test sms to a buddy at work and kept getting the message not sent notification.

I disconnected from the WiFi network and reconnected and the messages started pouring in and I could send again.

Also, when the problem occurred I was connected and able to view websites and such, just no messaging until I disconnected then reconnected.

Anyone else?

Besides that, everything seems snappier and smoother.

I think this is more of an issue with either the phone or T-Mobile. I had a similar issue last night. I get a lot of mms messages because most of my co-workers have iphones and use imessage all the time. Never really had any issues with my S3. Last night they were sending messages to everyone like crazy. I didn't realize it until I left the house and my phone switched to the mobile network. Then my phone blew up. Got over 20 messages in the span of about 30 seconds. I use evolvemms if that means anything. Oh, and I don't have this rom installed yet, hell, I'm not even rooted yet.

I was hoping rooting and this rom would solve my mms issues as a different rom fixed my mms issues with my S3.

Yes, one man's trash app is another's daily use app. Each can decide for themselves what they want to keep. Beans gives the option to all to have what they need.

Easily go to Rom customizer and remove even system apps if you want...best part is they are saved for you in case you need some of them back.

Dial pad tone. [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]

I know I can turn it off but I'd rather just change the drip sound. I'd rather not install a 3rd party dialer. I've googled everything I can think of. I have changed every drippy sound I can find in /system/media/audio/ui folder. I've renamed the originals with .bak extension and replaced them with a tone I prefer (and changed permission appropriately)

Dialer_new.ogg, TW_touch.ogg, S_HW_touch.ogg.

By simply replacing other .ogg files I was able to change other touch sounds, BUT nothing seems to change the dialer sound. Is it not located in system/media/audio/ui ?
