Yah, still hoping for the NI2 build still
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
Same here I'm still sitting on a bloated stock phone, rooted and waiting lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] highdro:
Team Alliance are about to release a new build for the note 3 so that's probably where all their focus has been. The note has definitely needed some love though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Same...except I'm not even rooted. Got my phone a month ago and don't see much purpose in rooting and flashing this ROM before it goes to Build 3. In the meantime, I just troll this thread. I'm patient :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
the note 3 has some roms if not more than we do as well as they can set phone to permissive SElinux so id say theyre doing better than us lol.. plus to my knowledge they have multiple devs for multiple devices so Im sure they spread the workload fairly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
Nice, I just got this phone this past Friday and was rooted ready to go in less then 24 hrs..lol I just really want this bloat wear off lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
Has anyone tried a different rom while waiting for Build 3?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] madhacker7:
I'm considering giving OptimalRom a shot but I'm just afraid to stray Alliance Roms stability.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
I came from Optimal... Alliance feels like a better Rom overall... Better battery, faster response, more customization out of the box (No REAL need for Xposed for the most part)...

HOWEVER, the lack of response for an NI2 build is a little disconcerting and may convince me to switch back.

Another good one (and in my opinion a little better than Optimal) is Rick's Rom... As a bonus, its fairly up to date with support.

I tried Archon, but it crashed more often than a 2 year old learning to ride a bicycle

You will likely notice an improvement in call quality to other Verizon customers already using VoLTE (As it does lend a huge hand in the quality of Verizon to Verizon calls supporting the technology.

So I cannot for the life of me figure out which setting changes the text color, very blurry as I cannot screenshot lockscreen so I just took a picture from my girlfriend's phone, but where the actual text message text reads "I guess" in gray, i would like to figure out what setting changes the color of that text so I can read text messages on my dropdown panel. Anyone know which setting changes the color of this text? I have nothing set to gray in anything I can see, my linked color is white, everything is unlinked, all text coloring turned off and everything is set to either white or black. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have looked through every setting ten times over and searched this whole thread, nothing.

I wish hyper drive rom was ported to the s5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Maybe you should change carriers. Hate to see you go. Bye
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
What does changing carriers have to do with anything
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Locked bootloader is only an issue on AT&T and Verizon, at least in terms of large scale US carriers, can't speak for international or smaller companies as I do not know, but T-Mobile and Sprint do not lock their bootloaders and therefore ROMs do not have to be TouchWiz-based, as you can install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM instead of Safestrap that will allow you to install AOSP, AOKP, etc. ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ktracho13:
Oh ok, I see now it makes sense, I noticed that hyperdrive for the s4 can be installed with safestrap or TWRP. So does that mean they bypassed safestrap limitations ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I honestly am not sure, but it stands to reason you might wanna ask over on a Hyperdrive thread as opposed to here given this thread is not only for a different ROM from a different Dev, but that AllianceRom is for a phone that doesn't even offer the ROM you are referring to on any of its variants... there is no Hyperdrive for the S5 and I'm almost entirely positive this is not the place the reason why that is will be revealed to you.

Can I use this ROM on a NI2 build

I just got my S5, got it rooted with SafeStrap, does anyone know if I can load this Rom on it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
If you are on the new update ni2 like most of us then no.. We are all waiting for the devs to see if they plan to release a new update for this ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Shaggy Kobain:
I used Odin a week ago to downgrade from NI2 to NE9 and flashed the ROM with no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
This statement isnt entirely correct...

You need to downgrade to NE9 and then install...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] scauffiel:
Still looking for this; will this work on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] renthispace:
Absolutely love this rom! Great customization options. I prefer my phone looking more like vanilla android so thanks for the themer with the kitkat package!

I just want to say that I am patiently waiting at the edge of my seat for an update (or an update on when the update will be updated). My only complaint about my phone right now is with the bluetooth. I listen to pandora through bluetooth every day and I get frequent audio drop outs similar to a cd skipping. This isn't a problem with the rom (I've had it on other roms and other versions of android) but the latest update from Verizon apparently addresses this issue. http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/galaxy-s5-091614.pdf

Is there a plan to take this rom to N12?

Also I've been working on debloating this thing as much as possible. I've seen a few lists posted but I've been able to remove more apks than listed. Does anyone have a list they can share that strips this phone down to make it more lean? I don't need/want any verizon or Samsung crap.

Reboot to safestrap and clear cache? Is it the same apps everytime?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
COuld be the launcher you are using. if its 3rd party try using a different one quick and see if it goes away then switch back
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Sort of feel the need to ask... is this rom still being supported? Should we hang around and expect a build 3, or move to one of the other roms that have managed to move to NI2 more than a month ago?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
I was wondering that myself.. Would you mind linking me to some of those other ni2 Roms in my inbox please? Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I am curious as well. FWIW, Build 2 of the AllianceRom for the Note 4 was just released on Halloween, might have something to do with what's been taking a while on this project.. I hope. I am curious as well, though, I do have to admit... don't care about ETAs just would like to know this is still in fact being supported.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mefistofel666:
Looks like great ROM judging the posts. Hoping to get NI2 support so I do not have to downgrade. Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacedrum69:
Me as well. Using this as a daily driver . Really hoping we'll see NI2 on this . I'm getting Crack flash happy seeing all these NI2 roms out ....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hollywood67:
Where are all these other NI2 ROMs
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
PM'd you a link, this thread is not the place to advertise other ROMs
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bobby2x420:
Can you pm the link to me? Please.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
All you have to do is look in the main "Verizon Galaxy S5 Android Development" forum, and you'll see all of the NI2 ROM's. It says it in the title of the ROM's. I don't see how it's possible to miss it. *shrug* :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
You need 900v compatibility due to locked boot loaders. But I'm sure this rom will be updated soon. As soon as we break the bootloader on this 900v (we have been working on) then can run all unified builds and have many kernels. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
Yes I know the bootlader is locked and what that limits. But it does not limit being able to use the NI2 ROM's via flashing the stock NI2 firmware with Odin. You just flash one of the 4.4.4 ROM's with SS and then the NI2 firmware with Odin, and you are now running an NI2 based ROM. I was just stating the title of the OP's specify if it's an NI2 ROM. To me it's impossible to miss that unless you just don't look at all.

Edit : As of right now, 4 out of the top 5 ROM's state that they are NI2. I wasn't being smart or rude in any way. I was just stating how easy it is to find the NI2 ROM's for the Verizon 900V Galaxy S5. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
OK, I gotta ask: you've been working on unlocking the bootloader for the 900v? Is there a specific thread or any information I can see about this project, or is it more behind the scenes stuff that is just being done and not talked about? If the latter, I ( and I'm sure the rest of those on this device on XDA) would absolutely love to hear any information you can give to me on this... the prospect of an unlocked bootloader on the S5 is incredibly exciting to me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Sir... I myself not being a peckerhead. Was just putting it out there. Been working on bootloader for 3 months on my own...bricked 11 times.:D

Look here:

https://rootsansunss5.wordpress.com

Now I've worked on Cappy, S2, S4 and basically we fall in line with some S4 bootloader issues. Now Note4. It will happen. Cyanogenmod development is where it's at.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mhopewell41:
Two part question I hope someone can help me with: 1 running this rom on us cellular with a patch...can't get handcent to produce any notification sounds....I'm sure it's not the rom though...2 is there any way to have stock messenger as my default sms but still have and use all the features of handcent? At this point it's one or the other but can't use both.....thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
1: im not sure... Did you try opening it and setting to default messaging app so it's functionality would be there? Haven't ever used handcent so I'm not sure for this question. Does it work properly on a USCC rom?

2: with 4.4.x I'm pretty sure you can only use 1 messaging app with the default app system

Sent from my Supercharged KT Powered S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
1. I'm not really sure either on the notifications. I've had stuff like this happen in the past on other phones. Sometimes you can uninstall the app and reinstall it to fix issues like this.

2. I do believe evilryry is correct. The app you have set as default is the one all of the features will properly work on, especially with incoming content. You would be able to use Handcent to send messages, but any incoming message would come to your stock messaging app by default. I'll download Handcent and try it myself to see if I have any problems with it.

No safestrap in App list

Forgive me for sounding like a noobie. Usually I get a rom working and leave you guys alone. Within the last 24 hours I've read almost half of this thread and will finish it in a day or so so maybe I've yet to get to my question being answered.

I've got Alliance up and running but one thing that I've noticed missing is a Safestrap icon in my app list. It was there after rooting but not after installing this rom. SuperSU is there and I still have root. How do I get Safestrap back in my App list? I don't want to screw up a good thing so thought I'd ask first.

Disregard my signature. I haven't gotten around to changing it since my S3 bit it. I have a Vzw S5, SM-G900V to be exact.

Thanks for your indulgence.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
When you download safestrap it will be in your app drawer till you install it. Once installed the icon goes away.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
That's because you use safestrap on your stock when you installed it. When you install a custom rom it wipes the system/user apps and data, but does not remove safestrap as it is installed to a different partition.. It's still installed to the phone even without the app installed on the rom don't worry . So unless you install the apk and hit Uninstall recovery, safestrap is not going anywhere. Just remember supersu.. Supersu and busybox are required for it to work but is usually baked into the rom zip.. But it's recommended to flash the supersu zip after the rom anyway just to eliminate any possibility.

You don't really need to install the safestrap apk on a custom rom, isn't necessary. Hope this answers your questions, sorry if it's a little scattered thought wise.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
You guys are great. Thanks for your replies.

I was missing the Bluetooth icon on the statusbar but was able to find it after a little digging. I guess it's not enabled by default. It seems like it shoud be, doesn't it?

The only other thing is superSU. I attempted to install the zip file that should be installed after the rom but it failed. I was able to update superSU to v2.16. I hope that's good enough.

Thank, Beans, for a great rom. I wanted a custom rom for the wifi hotspot since Verizon wanted me to pay a ton of money for that feature or to move up to their More Everything plan.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
Update: I installed Handcent on Alliance Build 2 to test it, and restored my stock ROM, then installed Handcent on it also. I set it as my default messaging app, and everything is working perfectly for me on both ROM's. All messages send and they are received as intended, and I get notifications with sound. Did you ever try to uninstall Handcent and reinstall it, setting it as default? If you have tried that, all I can suggest is to do a clean install of Alliance, then try to install and set up Handcent again. You may have a usable but slightly bad install of the ROM. Maybe someone else can chime in that's had similar issues and they have an easy fix for it. I'm sorry you're having that problem though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
If the zip failed to flash re download it, sounds like a corrupt file.

I will give that another try....I did uninstall the handcent app but I didn't uninstall all the add ons with it....I will let you know....thanks for all the quick responses guys

Subdued 4G LTE in Statusbar

I noticed that my 4G LTE statusbar icon is subdued on the AllianceROM so I reverted back to the latest backup that I had made before I installed AllianceROM. On my old load, the 4G LTE statusbar icon isn't subdued. Has anyone else noticed this? Does this mean that I'm not getting 4G LTE? Is there a setting that I need to set to fix this?

Ok, after watching bootup, I guess I've answered my question. When wifi kicks in, the 4G LTE icon goes subdued. When wifi isn't selected the icon isn't subdued. Obviously it's disabled while on wifi. That's not the case on Verizon stock. Is this a feature or an oversight of the AllianceROM?

Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
It's neither. My phone is on Alliance 1.2 and I have my WiFi icon and my 4g LTE Icon both displaying right now, as I do anytime I am connected to WiFi.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
Mine is displaying but it's subdued while wifi is enabled. Does that mean the 4G LTE is disabled while I'm on wifi? The data icon continues to be displayed bright (not subdued) whether wifi is enabled or not.

Does it have something to do with Download Booster? I'm not using DB and never have. I guess not since enabling DB gives me a whole new set of 4G LTE/wifi icons.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fantasy2c:
I actually left this rom bc when I'm sleeping or don't need data (at work) I would lose all 4G connectivity if both data and WiFi were off for extended periods of time even on an old backup and I'd have to restart the phone to be able to use my data again. Not sure why but rebooting was the only way to make it work again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
So still no word on if development is continuing for this rom? I'm kinda worried at this point but my luck I'll flash Optimal, send hours and hours setting my phone bacj up and Alliance NI2 build will drop the next day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
Best one to answer that would be BeansTown 106.. I believe a lot of folks are on edge of their seats waiting to see as well..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
yeah indeed but anyone from Alliance team would suffice... I'm not concerned with WHEN we get a new Build, I just wanna know if there is not going to be one at all.. obviously not gonna stay on NE9 forever if this ROM is no longer supported.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Mendedlogic:
Very true, I'm still sitting on stock waiting myself since I purchased my phone, as I was referred to this ROM by DroidModderX.. So I'm trying to be patient but getting antsy lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
No problem. I definitely don't mind helping when I can. I just wish I could've given you a more simple solution in your case. Do let me know if you get it working though. I'm really curious now as to what the problem was. It will help if the this problem happens again. I'll even shoot you a PM if I see someone have this problem so you can step in and save the day. ;)

I'm sure the Alliance team is cooking something up. This device is far too awesome to abandon the development. Who knows, they may be working on a whole new concept for it instead of doing a Build 3. I'm sure it would be great either way though. But I am really getting the itch to go for one of the NI2 ROM's, just to play with, and to see what they're all about.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Icculus760:
I was forced to update to NI2 due to voicemail notification issues (not ROM related) and now am running Optimal ROM. I haven't tried out all the NI2 ROMs, but I can tell you Alliance is significantly better than Optimal IMO due to customization and battery life, just to name two. If you can wait Beans out until he drops V3 whenever it's done, I think you'll be happier than upgrading to a NI2 ROM and waiting for the Alliance update on a different ROM. YMMV, obviously.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I suggest wait. I am.

Alliance all around on various handsets will be updated soon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I definitely do not want to switch roms unless this rom stops being supported.. however another poster asking if support for this particular ROM was halted a while ago and that never getting a response/not seeing any of the Alliance Team in here for quite some time just makes me wonder if there is something to wait for or if for some reason development has stopped for this device... if I knew that development was still in process I would not be worried about waiting, but if development has for some reason stopped I'd like to jump ship and get back to rebuilding from scratch as soon as possible... just been hoping for some sort of confirmation as to whether this rom is still going or if development stopped is all.

gps won't get a fix

Admittedly, I don't have the grasp of this rom thing as well as most here but I have another problem that I need advice on.

I went to use my gps (Co-Pilot and Google Maps) and neither can get a gps fix. Take a look at my signature particularly Baseband and Base Version. One is NE9 and the other is NI2.

Is that my problem?

Am I not supposed to mix them?

Is there a way to fix it?

Or, do I have another problem?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
It looks like you need to flash the NE9 firmware with Odin. Here is the link to the firmware you need. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112652201
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
Thanks a gazillion for the link.

I'll really show my ignorance now. When I use odin to install this fw, will everything still work with alliance or will I have to reinstall alliance afterwards?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
Sorry for the late reply. Just install the firmware with Odin and you should be good to go. You shouldn't have to do anything else after that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mhopewell41:
Got this to work after I uninstalled all the apps associated with handcent.....thanks....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
I got the firmware installed and it seems to be ok except that the gps still doesn't work. I restored the load that i was using before alliance and the gps works with it. Went back to alliance and still doesn't work.

Any ideas why?

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Go into settings/App manager and clear cach.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] porterx:
Thank you very much. Cleared cache and data in Co-pilot & Google Maps. Initially, it didn't work but finally it did.

Also, after updating to the NE9 firmware, the fingerprint scanner now works.

Again, thank you.

P.S. Everything that I've read about the S5 fingerprint reader says that it's a piece of junk. I've seen the iPhone 6 fingerprint reader in action and it's many times better. Is this something that can be fixed in a custom rom or is it something that Samsung would have to fix with the S6 or a firmware fix?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
Yep, it should have fixed many problems after getting the correct firmware installed. More than likely it fixed some you didn't even know you had yet. I'm glad Molon Labe was able to jump in and give you that last bit of help you needed to get everything working properly. We really do have some great people in this little community we have. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I've checked all other Alliance rom handsets and none of them are updated 4.4.4 yet. Note4 is a priority right now and sure we will all get update at same time...or close to it. Have faith. There is no need to jump to another rom yet as there is not a big difference. But... if they work the Note4 you may see a bunch of build aspects from that.

Themes demo

I'm looking at the theme list in Alliance Manager. Is there somewhere that shows what they look like once installed instead of installing one and finding that I don't like it?

Thank you.

Edit: I found that, by selecting each theme, you get a preview of the selected theme.
