Can anyone tell me how to make my home button wake my phone/screen instead of my power button? I'm running vzw alliance rom build 2 on vzw gs5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
I have the same question
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
Settings/Custom Settings/Lockscreen Mods/Wake With Home Key
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Thanks. Worked great. Could you tell me how to add an image to my app drawer background. I'm not up on the alliance rom, I'm a frist timer for this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
Long press a blank spot on a home screen.

Select Wallpapers.

Make a selection on Set Wallaper screen (Home Screen, Lock Screen or Home and Lock Screens).

Select More Images and browse to the image that you want to make a wallpaper.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Yes Thanks. But I know how to change my home/lock screen wallpaper. I want to change my app's drawer wallpaper.

Is this build the latest build for a verizon galaxy s5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
It's the same wallpaper.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
So I was using my cricket SIM on my s5 but now that I put in my Verizon SIM I get a greyed out 4g let but calls and text work yes my firmware is ne9. Everything works fine on my cricket SIM any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
That's because it's got a wifi connection. Turn off wifi and the 4G will brighten up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazy_smokezalot:
No I'm not connected to WiFi could it be that just leaving WiFi on is causing the problem
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
I'm not sure. I thought mine wasn't working when mine was acting as yours is. Then I found that everything that needed data still worked, it would default to wifi if it could and therefore dim out the 4G icon. I say, turn off wifi and see if the 4G brightenes up. If it does, you don't have a problem. If it doesn't, you'll have to ask one of the more knowledgable people around here for help.

PLEASE !

I feel like such a fool for buying a S5 on the Verizon network! Everyone else is having such fun!!!

NEVER AGAIN!

Still no Bootloader unlock and just no seriously customizable Lollipop huh?

So Sad!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] harrytery:
Don't know why you are complaining. We have some great DEVs knocking out updates. If you really wanted to have an unlocked bootloader then you should have gone with an alternative carrier or a different phone

Could anyone tell me how to get a working Samsung browser on this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bobby2x420:
I know, I know now. Just remorseful.

Sorry for crying.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JGKC9AYC:
I had this rom on my S4 & Note 3.

I think I successfully installed this on my S5, but I can't seem to find the same theme that I had on my other two (which I can't remember the name of now, but i'd know it if I was to see it).

Does this ROM have the same themes as the ones I had on my other two phones or did I do something wrong?

*Edit* I found this particular theme under "settings, alliance rom, themes". It's called "Thanhfhuongf xperia_v1.0"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
Thats why you should wait and do your research when a phone comes out before buying it. Dont run and buy the s6 if gou want an unlocked BL lol.

I really think Samsung lost pretty much every galaxy phone fan on xda/verizon with this device.. i will not purchase another samsung galaxy anything ever again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
?same here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bajasur:
Everyone should know by now that there will not be any future bootloader unlocks on Verizon. The last legit unlock on a Verizon Samsung device was the Galaxy Note 2. Loki on S4 was a workaround, and Safe Strap is no longer being developed.

I'm not saying some elite hacker won't come out of the wood work and unlock future device like [MENTION=2918486]Ralekdev[/MENTION]... But if you want roms and root apps you need to move on to T-Mobile unfortunately.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjs987:
Are there any other roms that are as good or better than this one? A few months ago I tried a few but they were missing stuff (tether) or just were not as fast / stable. Any advice would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] _neutron_:
you aren't gonna get any nice replies to this question....you really shouldn't ask that question in someone's rom thread
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjs987:
I was not trying to be offensive i was just wondering if anyone who used this rom has moved on to another rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ragnell:
Well, consirdering this rom is pretty much dead now since the dev left, It should be ok tbh.

I've moved on to Optimal Rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
I agree with it probably being ok considering it has been made clear that Beans is not coming back. How does Optimal ROM compare. Can you give a couple Pros/Cons in comparison to this ROM??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I'm a big supporter of OptimalROM and the dev. It's an excellent performing rom in every aspect, I absolutely love it. I've been running lollipop and ktoonsez lately, but when we only had kitkat it was my daily driver for months. Only "con" compared to Alliance would be the lack of customization. I personally think too much customization hurts performance tho. So we would welcome you into the OptimalROM family ;).. Lollipop build of OR currently on hold because of dev health for a while tho. Just remember for the current release flash the rom and ni2 firmware. Hope you enjoy it, and if you have any issues myself and anyone in the thread will be happy to try to help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phillipmckinnish:
Is there anyway you are someone else has a unziped ne9 kernel...Because Im new to SS and dont want to odin the wrong thing...All the other roms I flashed on this phone the MD5 was like 11 MB and this one is a lot bigger...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DroidinAndStuff:
Is there any way to have the battery animations reflect the actual charging rate? FasteR and/or larger/smaller bar blob zipping across the status bar type of animation? Fastest/bigger at 1.9-2 amp max and slower/smaller to backwards at lower rates even indicating charging, or use when not charging, reflecting actual charge or discharge rate? Like a real live ammeter? I found an app for an OP O phone that is almost like that. Be cool to have that in this ROM or future ROMs.

Xposed?

*****************************************************************************************************************

The TW Call Record 'native recorder': is there a way to make it automatically record each and every call, store them to my sd card and complete with contact name as well as the number and time stamps? Even when such files are transferred to a windows pc or even another android device? It seems like I saw that app in the apps list prior to my checking the custom phone mods selection to opt for it instead of the add call. I haven't found it since and have no idea if within it are any adjustments. Where?

ACR almost gets there although at best it's sketchy when transferring call recordings to a pc as in no contact info goes with them.

*****************************************************************************************************************

Where do I find baked in apps, like Family Companion etc, that I want to remove from the ROM? I am not finding it and others in the system/app folder or anywhere else I think I should look.

Thanks if any of you can help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DroidinAndStuff:
How do I patch or tweak the messaging app to accept a reasonable MMS file size? Something under 1mb ain't gonna cut it and the messaging app is fine otherwise. I went from a 912 razr that would send just under 2mb, a crappy lg revolution that would do 2 mb and then the sammys crippled at a paltry 1.0mb or less, all on Verizon. I can pop my sim into the LG and it will pop off 2mb MMS no problem so I know Verizon isn't preventing them despite what I've read about them having a 1.2mb limitation.

Can it be done? Doesn't sound like too massive a customization!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Morningstar:
You can decompile the app, and adjust it in smali. There's also one or two CSC lines for it, not sure if they actually work though...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DroidinAndStuff:
http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy...ms-options-t2845914/post54782698#post54782698

I found this and unzipped both build's 1 and 2 of this rom.

If I simply 7zip them back, should they reflash with no problem? If that doesn't break it, what mistakes would?

Although not reflected in the changelog, I found discussion at least about the automatic call recording.

However, I am not sure what the actual names of the files I'm looking for, with respect to the messaging or call recording, or where they are located. I would have sworn I saw TW Call Record show up somewhere at some time, now I see it nowhere and did see something else with Call Record as at least part of its name. I forgot now, it was very late last night.

What tools will I need to learn how to decompile? It has been over 30 years since I did any compiling.

What tools for smali?

I found some of the apk's that I wanted gone in systems/app and system/pri-app but it would appear that most of them installed as removing the apk did not kill them. Where would I look for apk's that automatically install or perhaps better, where would I find a chart showing the architecture so I can learn how this works?

Thanks for chiming in and all help is appreciated. I wish I had time to learn everything about building my own rom. I don't know that I have that much time and certainly have too many other things to do!

Any links to "last word" and succinct type tutorial posts which broach any of the subjects would be great.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Morningstar:
For decompiling, I use apktool from ibotpeaches. There's a thread here on XDA somewhere, or you can build it yourself from the source (search github for apktool, and it'll have building instructions). For working with smali files (and just about everything else), Notepad++ is the best text editor I've found. I'm pretty sure unzipping the ROM (assuming you're talking about the main flashable zip) then rezipping it won't work, as it'll break signatures, but it's been awhile since I've even thought about it, so don't quote me on that.

As far as removing pre-installed apps, I wouldn't recommend removing the apks from system/app or system/priv-app as doing so can cause problems sometimes. The safest way is to use an app like Titanium Backup to first freeze the apps (just to make sure there won't be any unforseen issues), then uninstall any that you don't want/need. Note that a lot of the Samsung stuff is interdependent, and removing one could cause others not to function properly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheRealPorkchop:
OK, so I got a question.... I ended up with a Note 4 which we all know can't be rooted as of now. I've been thinking of swapping with a guy who claims to have a new S5 in the box. Am I understanding correctly that you can NOT root the S5 now? Am I also understanding that you can't use SafeStrap anymore? There's no point in me swapping phones (I don't guess) if I can't root that thing either...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
It's a process but the S5 can be rooted and SS can be installed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheRealPorkchop:
Ok, well I figured it out but now I got another question...

This was built (I assume) on the NE9 firmware... what if you're on NI2 or NK2? Do you just flash that firmware at the end instead of the other listed in the OP or will it just not work without being on NE9?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
It's ne9 so you just flash ne9 firmware afterwards before booting. This version really isn't that great (it's ok but meh) I'd recommend the international lollipop Alliance port if you really want Alliance and customization.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheRealPorkchop:
I don't know what I want. I had an S4 running HyperDrive and it was awesome, now I have the S5 and I'm trying to find something comparable. Really hoping to find something dark or something that I can change to dark (darker), I hate all the white and pastel bright colors...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I ran hyperdrive too when I had my s4. Dev did a good job with the rom so it was nice and customizable but performance didn't suffer. I've had that problem personally with Alliance, it's cool but my battery life and other benchmarks weren't great. If you want customization I'd try the new Alliance or moar rom. Both posted on the forum.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phillipmckinnish:

I see that you did edit your original post, so I'll edit mine as well....If it was an honest mistake, then no offense meant.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] holmes6:
The battery life on this ROM is insane. I installed it Sunday Night, charged overnight and started monday at 100%

As of Wed 3pm I am at 51% still.

It may be because I still haven't bothered to install much of anything yet, but regardless, this is exceptionally good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drift08:
I have been using this rom on my Verizon S5 (NE9) via SafeStrap recovery. The statusbar suddenly disappeared. Below is what I tried so far.

- Change Alliance themes via Custom Setting and restarted System UI for it to kick in. ~ Didn't fix it.

- Cleared both cache and dalvik cache via SafeStrap recovery - Didn't fix it.

- Dirty flashed the same rom. - Didn't fix it.

Lastly, I clean flashed this rom and restored my user apps via Titanium Backup. This fixed it. I have the statusbar. However, it only lasted several hours until it becomes MIA. I started to play around with different built-in Alliance theme via Custom Setting. It seems like there maybe a possible bug with a theme or two, which makes the statusbar MIA. Am I the only one w/ this issue? Any idea and/or suggestions? I prefer Kitkat rom due to reliability, stablitiy and battery level. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ammend:
Soo, I updated to 5.0 and I hate it. I want to use this ROM (kit-kat) but I'm unsure of where to get all the necessary files. Are there steps from beginning to end, for dummies, with links to files that I could use. I've tried to search for something but had no luck.

Which highly customizable custom lollipop roms would you recommend?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bmilcsx:
Good luck with this question. I've tried but it seems to be off limits for some reason.

Personally, I've tried MOAR, OPTIMAL and now Alliance Build 2.. trying out Kit Kat once again. Kit Kat feels a lot smoother and less intensive on your hardware than either Lollipop rom. I am having a bit of trouble with Alliance after installing Nova because it doesn't play nice with other launchers.

It's faster but constantly takes blurry photos too unless you have your settings right. I ran many AOSP roms on S3 without issue :)

Yes, this version can be ran on firmware NCG, or NE9, I prefer to have the firmware on the same build. Once you flash Alliance build 2, go ahead and flash firmware only NE9. For best results, do a clean wipe and remember to clear the caches.
