Thanks bean super smooth rom quick question is there a way to change the dialer to stock white instead of dark international version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
It says in the desciption that you can as of the latest upadte . I just cant find it . I have looked everywhere. Also I cant find the option to change the swipe color on the stock keyboard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
Thanks let me look
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
Cool if you find them let me know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nbeebe24:
Swipe color is under 'Other' in the unlinked section. Also, I would assume you could go back to the white dialer by replacing it with the one from the build 3 zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
I found it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
Root comes built into the ROM. If you had towelroot and hadn't tripped knox yet, this method would remove the exploit to allow you to root. But since you have a custom recovery and are running this ROM you are way past that. Just flash with Odin, check your baseband to make sure it took, and then flash alliance V4. I've only been running V4 for about 30 minutes, but it's great :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sindawe:
I'm actually on stock, towel rooted, and ne6 (sorry, I thought I was nf). So should I flash the firmware only file and boot back into stock to make sure it's ok before doing Alliance v4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
Just so you both know, if the update isn't reflected in baseband under about device, the flash was not successful. It actually would be a lot easier to flash the entire tar, not just the firmware, in order to make sure the upgrade took. Just my two cents, if you all need further help let me know.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

Before I give you any further advice, you are aware that flashing this ROM or a custom recovery trips knox and you may or may not have a warranty on your phone any longer?

Sorry if you know this already, I just don't want to walk you through something you don't want.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] I made changes to my dialer color and now there are no numbers on the dialer. I've tried to switch multiple colors to get it back and nothing took. I tried wiping cache and dalvik too and rebooted and can't get them back. Any ideas...

EDIT. I GOT IT FIXED. I JUST TRIED TO INSTALL A DIFFERENT THEME AND JUST SWITCHED BETWEEN IT AND BACK. GUESS IT WAS JUST A HICCUP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
A Dirty flash will fix it and is the most direct route. If you know the name of the apk you modified you can pull the original from the B4 zip and push it to your phone after removing the old one. You have to change the permissions just like any push and you will also need to clear cache/dalvik for any system push.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sindawe:
Not a problem. Yeah, I don't really care about knox. There's just so many different ways to change out the firmware it seems just want to make sure which ever way I go won't "undo" towel root or anything. I haven't done anything to my s5 because I just wanted to wait. I did use b1 a while back (i think it was b1) but I sent my s5 back for a new one (it had a busted mic). Right now, I want to make sure that everything is all nice and updated (firmware, modem, etc.) and then switch over to alliance b4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
Now THAT is what I wanted to hear :D

So, when it comes to upgrading your phone's firmware it's best to take an entire release and flash it all at once. So in your situation you are on NE6 but you can jump straight into NG3 with odin 3.09 and the full firmware and upgrade package. So I'll make you a quick checklist of how to do a solid upgrade before flashing a custom rom.

You'll need the latest Samsung USB drivers for our phone here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900TZKATMB#don't skip this part, drivers and phone recognition is important in odin

grab either PhilZ md5 for odin flash or TWRP here and then any generic "root your phone guide" to grab a CF-autoroot package.

Backup your device with TiBu or ATP and then when you are confident you have everything line up odin.

This is the most important step: ****The phone must be off before entering download mode****

I don't know why, I can't explain it, but for some reason updates don't take as well unless you enter download mode from total power off. After you've hooked it to your computer flash the entire NG3 to your phone, and I mean the whole OS, and when it finishes skip past all the setting up your phone stuff and check your baseband. It should say NG3 at that point. If you want to verify grab this app here: Phone Info Samsung and verify everything reads NG3.

After that is all done custom recovery, root, and install B4. This seems long but I'm sure you've done this before. Just remember to turn your phone off before going into download mode. It will save you a lot of headache, I promise.

Edit: NG3 Full Stock Tar this is what you want to flash to your phone first after backing up your stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThaDarkside79:
Up and running great on Version 4 thanks a million

Thanks for the update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] middleearth1010:
Alliance Rom 4 update installed with NG3 filmware/modem.

I first dirty flashed over version 3 doing the standard wipe cache and dalvak, and the reboot froze after load into the lock screen. Therefore I confirm a full wipe is required. Everything set up and running. Appears snappier. I also will test run on KTs kernel and the stock (to eliminate any bugs caused by either or) and provide updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rchristy:
After running half day on clean installed B4, phone does not go to deep sleep. Any hint?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
First, reboot. Sometimes apps can hang and if it does it won't let your phone slumber. If the issue persists use GSAM Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats, or Wakelock Detector to figure out which application is keeping your phone awake. Once you've determined what application is causing it you can Greenify it or remove it altogether if you don't need it. If it is a system app you need to determine what it does. A quick Google search can tell you which wakelock does what.

The best of the bunch is betterbatterystats, especially when rooted so if you don't mind supporting a dev it is the best wakelock detecting program I've tried.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rchristy:
Thanks for the reply.

However, phone just does not want to go deep sleep. Couldn't find any app hanging....

It didn't happen with B3....It also happens with Alliance 5.1.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ratcityrain:
If I am on Build 3 with NF6 Base, do I need to follow the above directions and install the NG3 firmware first then flash Build 4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] steve97ta:
It is recommended yes if you're not on the latest NG3 bootloader
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slickrick54:
yes you should update firmware if you haven't already

Hey has anyone found any way to change the toggles in the quicksettings up in the notification banner??? I change it in Gravity Box but it wont apply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] unk2009:
First I would like to say thanks for this awesome rom...A few pages back someone asked about an emoji fix. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your help...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dman10:
Does anyone else's lock screen effect switch back to None upon reboot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TikyPR:
Google Play Services

Don't know what happen but Google play services staid awake almost 9 hours when i was sleeping and the phone consumed 5% of battery. Is that normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kheltek:
If you are referring to the number of toggles, from the customize rom menu go to the last option on the bottom, additional scripts, etc. and you will see an option to select 35 toggles.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyacrash:
I reflashed and did a full wipe just to return my settings to stock.

First thing I did upon boot up was create a custom settings backup of stock settings. Unfortunately however, after applying any theme then attempting to return to stock loading my saved settings it STILL does not return everything to normal. Not sure if it's a bug or just the way it works, but I really wish there was a way that worked better for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Goldie:
OK....Quick lesson on mods. The files we mod read entries from the database. So for example there is code in systemui that says "look in the database for an entry (known as a key) called "clock_color", find its value and then set the text color to that color. If you dont find it then set the color to default".

AllianceManager restores and changes these values. It runs through a definition txt file in alliance folder (theme.txt or backup.txt) that contains all the keys, finds each one in the mytheme.txt its loading and sets the value. Or, for creating, it runs through them, finds the entry in the database and writes it to mytheme.txt. if it doesnt find it I.e you have not changed that option ever so no entry exists then it skips it.

You wiped. So you removed all entries from the database. So when you then went straight to create backup it ran through them...found none in the database and skipped them all. So your backup will do effectively nothing. Hence why we created the stock s5 style as close as possible to stock look by going through and setting every entry in custom settings. Even if that meant checking and unchecking to create the entry.

Make sense?

Put this in themer folder and try it....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyacrash:
OK I get it. Thanks for the explanation and your patience.

I really love this rom and how customizable it is, I guess I just need to learn how to use the Rom Customizer a little better to get everything the way I want it.

Thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Goldie:
No worries. Extract these new definition files to alliance folder or the above zip won't work properly...

Yeah im not to worried about Knox .I never had tmobile even check to see if knox is tripped. Premium Hanset Protection basiclly allows you to do what you want wit the phone . After i did the firmware only flash my baseband was updated . Been running B4 for about 12 hours with Ktoonez and its running strong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AlkaliV2:
The build isn't the problem. I've been running BBS for 10 hours on my phone and it slept for 9h20m. It seems this is isolated to your device and without you posting any battery statistics from the apps I mentioned, method you used to install the ROM (clean/dirty), how you've identified the ROM as the problem, or some form of technical information we are unable to give you accurate advice on how to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
If you still havent solved you Sleep issue I would recommend trying a fresh install .Did you make sure that the firmware took before installing the B4? Or maybe try to find what is keeping your phone awake . What i have came to find with Roms built off stock is that most of the time it comes down to user error when experiencing problems . Hope you got it fixed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] sindawe:
Thanks for the info. That does help. Just waiting to get home to try this after work. After making a backup and all, then flashing the full stock ng3, do I still need to do cfautoroot? I used it on the first s5 I had, but this one I used towel. I don't know why, but I came from an htc hero, and then an htc evo 4g lte and those seemed easier to root and whatnot. So when I got my S5, this was the first time I'd ever even heard of Odin, so I'm still pretty cautious using it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
For what its worth to any one who is considering flashing the NG3 firmware via ODIN - everytime I flash any new release via odin on my S5 I often need to do two flashes before I see the baseband change to the updated version in phone settings - I have found that I always need to use Odin 3.09 (it never works on older versions of odin)

If you have not updated yet - it is advised to update before you flash this new Alliance ROm - and like the man said, check your settings to be sure the baseband changes - because it often doesn't - for me it usually takes two or three attempts -

Oh one more thing - I have turned in more phones than I care to remember for various reasons - and have NEVER had an issue with someone checking KNOX to see if is tripped - that has been my experience and why I reeally don't give a ..... if knox gets tripped...

Good Luck - hope this helps

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rchristy:
Thanks for all the replies. I found the app who keeps the phone awake. It is Fongo.

The scenario is before make/receive any phone call, everything is fine. But after one call, phone never goes to deep sleep. Even after a reboot, with Fongo auto start, phone still does not go to sleep. Have to force stop it and relaunch the app. Everything would be fine then.

However, the same app never cause this issue on my other phones at all. If anyone would like to analyze it, I have no problem to provide trace.

BTW, the rom is clean installed and use TB restore.
