Wifi gone bye bye

First off want to say excellent job on the rom, love all the optional tweaks.

My wifi has seemed to go bye bye, first thing I did was hunt down a wifi fix as per the OP.

Managed to hunt down the NG8 version on this thread.

Grabbed the boot loader while I was at it and flashed the two.. from previous experience I recall having to reflash the wifi fix a second time in order to see the expected results. Although this time around it doesn't seem like it has done the trick.

I am using Odin3 v3.09 to flash, any suggestions are welcomed.

EDIT: Shortly after writing this I decided to flash a new kernel, seems to have fixed the problem.. I flashed Alucard you can find the thread: here.

A completely compatible kernel should be bundled with the installation zip, At the very least more specific and detailed instructions added to the OP.

Safestrap?

Is this rom safestrap enabled?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hassanulhaq:
No Signal

when i flashed that rom on my s4 lte I9505XXUGNG8 i got no signals and imei= null then i flashed this modem but still no luck so i have to get back to official to get my signals back... how can i flash this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidwilson83:
What recovery did you flash the ROM with? What ROM did you come from?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hassanulhaq:
Philz

i came from official and used philz_touch_6.15.6 recovery!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidwilson83:
Ok then. Did you make a Nandroid backup? If so, then restore it. After you have installed it then download and flash the latest TWRP and then try to install the ROM again. I had the exact same issue with PhilZ Recovery and it stopped as soon as I changed to TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LGtMgG2t:
I too would love to know whats closest to this ROM. The black theme on this one is amazing! Anyone have ideas since this one is said to be discontinued?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hassanulhaq:
EFS partition backup and restore

what if i backup my efs partition and restore it after installing this rom from PhilZ recovery?

Hi [MENTION=4207059]sparky b[/MENTION]

How did you do to compress the ROM in 1,69 Gb? I'm adapting your ROM to make it work with my method (flashing Custom ROM without tripping Knox) and I need to create a zip file smaller than 2 Gb, like you did. Did you choose a compression level? Which software did you use? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Sorry mate, I didn't actually make or pack the ROM, DSA handed the thread back when he left. I think he used some kind of image compression tool if that helps..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] peppe130:
Ok thank you mate.. Could you add the link to my thread in first page?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:

Compatability Questions

Hello, I am looking to get some answers on compatibility for this ROM.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) on Android 4.4.2 with a secure NC5 bootloader. Is it possible to flash this rom using safestrap 3.7.5?

If not, could you tell me where in the systemui.apk are the quick settings located? I have searched up and down and can not for the life of me figure out how to add my own or remove them. Your rom is capable of doing this without the need of decompiling/recompiling the systemui.apk, so, for me it is one or the other.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] LGtMgG2t:
According to my notes, I got it working using the new v5 patch which allows for S5 mods. Yes, I'm a VZW user and its a shame that this ROM is dead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chashmaa:
Were r gate v2 file?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Good question, I'm not sure what DSA did when he left...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chashmaa:
One more question can I flash this rom directly through philz recovery? Now I have UGNG2 bl, modem and rom.on op ss shown beautiful.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Yup, philz should be ok :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chashmaa:
But where r v2? If possible please provide me link v2 UGNG2 base.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
I already answered that, i don't know what DSA did with it before he left...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chashmaa:
OK .than download and flash v3. It's working for me with UGNG2 Modem bl?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] H8SOCIETY:
Where the f* is that option? Cant find it.... searched about 1 hour in custom settings.

No joke :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:

The rom was built by someone else and the thread was handed back to me when they left Alliance...

I like the looks of this, might wait to see if going from Stock ROM to this works ok.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
If you're on stock rooted samsung 4 4.2, all you need to do is install twrp recovery and grab rom customizer from play store. Put rom on internal sd and flash via rom customizer with wipe. Stock kernel is included...

Very thanks man.You work is The Best.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
You won't get the theme, but I can ask one of the guys to put it in OTA tomorrow...or you can extract from rom zip and push the apks yourself...

EDIT

or you can grab the apks from rom zip and replace the non themed apks before flashing...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JT1510365:
what are the apk's are they just customization apps?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Yeah...they're just themed versions of the apps in the stock themed rom. Open the rom zip and look in data/media/0/alliance/apk theme
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JT1510365:
does anyone know where I can get themes to use in alliance manager? I am talking about the preloaded themes like driller.

I want to know realy bad!

anyways I am loving this rom!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
In the OP (frequently asked questions) is a link to Alliance manager thread. I think users are making and posting there...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] guut13:
I'm on ATT with a locked bootloader and safestrap and can confirm your ROM installed without issue.

Tried it twice... First time "as is". Second time, following your directions and replacing all the files in data/media/0/alliance/apk theme/Alliance with their respective /system files. I had no issues either way.

Thanks for the ROM.

is the blue the stock theme like shown in the screenshots
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ozz200127:
How do u get the stock settings in system instead of s5
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TG09:
I have downloaded TWRP Recovery from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182

So flash that with Odin.

Copy the ROM to internal memory and using the ROM Customizer to install.

That will get me on the ROM, then flash the Modem with Odin.

What do you mean the Stock Kernel is included? do I have to put another kernel on it afterwards?

That should all right?

Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure what I am doing before I root the S4. The S2 was straight forward, didnt need to use a ROM customiser.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Febreze:
Very good rom i like it. Are other mods in progress? Choseable shortcuts on aosp lockscreen like on the s3.

You can have the blue on stock or alliance theme, it's one of the themes included in Alliance Manager app :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
You can't at the moment...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Yup, that's what you need to do....some people need to flash custom kernel to get wifi working even after flashing modem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
That's all the mods we have right now..but more will start flowing soon.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 7STANG:
JT, did you get this working? I have a ATT S4 but do not need Safestrap because I am on the old bootloader with Loki. The got the ROM itself working fine for me but if I try to reboot to recovery I get the yellow "triangle off death" Not Authorized screen. I tried TWRP, Philz & CWM but none worked.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
When you say old bootloader do you mean 4.3? If so are you using a recovery from 4.3?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 7STANG:
I meant I am on the MDL Firmware. Being on a AT&T phone I have to use the Loki patch to use a custom ROM. So yeah, MDL firmware is 4.3.

I just realized that he probably doesn't use a custom recovery if he has to use Safestrap.

No biggie though. I got it working. Just had to reflash a recovery with Flashify from the Play Store.

Nice ROM - THANK YOU!:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
Try flashing the bootloader and modem via odin
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 7STANG:

Settings gave me constant FC like any other S5 settings - can you please add S4 settings?

Why put S4 weather widget on S5 launcher and not S5 one who has transparency...

Coming from 4.4.3 aosp gave me bootloop at first boot. I had to first restore a 4.4.2 TW backup, then it worked

Please add kids mode into next release :)

Man, why on earth would you replace my cwm with twrp during ROM install !?!?!?!?

If I have a backup done on cwm, I install your ROM, I don't like your ROM and I want to go back yo my backup, how should I do?

The worst experience so far with this ROM!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sparx:
First off, try reading the OP...it clearly states twrp included

Second, if you don't know how to install cwm then you have no business flashing your phone.

Third, your attitude stinks...change your tone before you think about posting again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starbucks2010:
I don't really want to argue with you but when you say twrp included it doesn't mean it will install it on top of my cwm without even asking me.

My luck is that I know how to install a cwm and recover my backup.

About the attitude ... I think that you have attitude problems using this tone.

If you don't know how to take a criticism then is your problem.

Anyway, good luck with your ROM. Maybe you will succeed to make your ROM work also with cwm and save other people from troubles I went through.

Sorry for misunderstanding.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] txr33:
your original post did not appear to be criticism but more of an attack about your recovery being changed, but I think anyone would see twrp included as being it will replace your current recovery and also if you are flashing roms you should know how to change recovery.

Some flashable packages that alliance rom uses needs an openscript recovery to install which cwm does not support but you can use latest philz recovery which does support it and is cwm based but highly modified
