I was almost certain that Xgel was only for the Google launcher. I use Nova myself, dislike Tw altogether

Sent From My DistrbD N3
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Hmmmm... then why is it in the rom? I wanted use XGEL to change my phones font. Is their anything maybe in xposed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Shaggy Kobain:
XGel is only for the Google Now Launcher. Can't answer your question as to the why, but I can answer the other. If you wanted to change the FONT, then you would just go to DISPLAY settings, and change the FONT there. If you are referring to the SIZE of your icons, then you would need to either use a 3rd party launcher or the APP Settings Module in Xposed.

AMAZING!!!

Can't wait to flash...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] First off the ROM is running great and looking awesome. I do have one suggestion about the TW Theme Chooser. Make a link to downloadable themes instead of including them in the ROM. The only reason I say this is when these are included as they are it causes the android is upgrading pop up when rebooting the phone. I had the same problem on my Note3 ROM and it went away on this ROM after I removed the pre-installed TW Themes. I tried uninstalling the themes from the ROM customizer but a few could not be removed that way. I had to manualy remove two or three of them. Other than that the ROM is awesome with all the customization options. Nice work to the whole team.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
It's because the circles aren't update in the theme definitions. The themes were created before that mod was added. Just change backgrounds... Toggles... To transparent or the background style to none
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mustangforlife23:
Awesome job beans
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] artjrv:
I am having trouble updating the binary in SuperSu. I hit continue then choose normal and i get a installation failed. I tried rebooting. I am also running the latest version of SuperSu as well.

Update: I had to re-flash the Update SuperSu ....once I did that it loaded ok..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mustangforlife23:
So how is art in this Rom? Or is it recommended to keep using dalvik?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
So I have aosp lockscreen and widgets enabled. Can't figure out how to add them? Also, colors on lockscreen?

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Demiurge7:
You have to flash the update after the rom, even on the latest version of SU.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
Any way to get rid of the download booster statusbar icon or hide it when not in use?

And how do you apply a Dark theme UI to the rest of the rom. My Settings menus are still samsung blue/green I thought it would of been to apply it to the system, but no dice.

Also the ability to hide the clock on the status bar with root access in nova isnt working. Worked prior to this rom. Not sure if something is overwriting it or not.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kidruk:
Same issue with me. Theme does not stick.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dodendemise:
I can't get Google now to work on home button long press. I even manually selected it in hardware mapping.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dennisg34:
This is what I mean, want white not blue

Sent from my S5 using your mom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mustangforlife23:
Hardware key mapping doesn't seem to stick only key I get to stick is long press home opens menu
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
After all these years it still amazes me how many people don't take the time to read installation instructions in the op lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Unlink lockscreen content in colors and then set it white
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
You gotta include screenshots if you say some theme thing won't work.

Hiding clock can be done in custom settings... Statusbar options... Clock
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
As above.... Include screenshots for theme questions
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kidruk:
I am not entirely sure but I was under the impression that the entire system would be themed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
So is anybody experiencing hard to read text because of the color system? It's too dark or too light sometime and we don't have control of it. Still hoping that build 3 will have a better customization system.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Either set text colors to something not black or white or disable them.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bitterroots:
That does not work. I don't have any of the text colors enabled, and I have the same issue. If I set the theme as TW Dark, dialogues with dark backgrounds are unreadable. Vice versa with TW Light. I had the same issue with Alliance for the G3. Didn't have it with Alliance v1.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bitterroots:
Is this what you are looking for? I began have this issue as well with V2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RockyCJC:
Maybe I am completely behind.....but is this even possible. Last I checked the boatloader has not been unlocked so I believe this would only apply to the sev edition phones. Please clarify.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Just disable custom dialogs. Need to remove that mod tbh
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
yeah, the second part about TWRP/CWM only applies to Dev editions.. not sure what I was thinking when posting that honestly as the retail edition doesn't support anything but Safestrap in terms of recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bitterroots:
Very nice. That was killing me. I did not even remember checking that box.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] siverson:
Do you happen to have a link to that thread by chance ? I found one or two but they looked dated, rather try something that has already been proven to work on this ROM.

Thanks in advance ! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryan317:
Am I missing something? Can you change the color of the Bluetooth status bar icon?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] siverson:
I coulda swore I saw that in settings when I was doing mine.. but I just dug back through and I do not in fact see an option to change BT color.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryan317:
Yea... I've got everything red except for the white BT icon...:(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheAutonomousGeek:
Anyone else missing the brightness slider from the status bar? It was there in 1.1, now it's gone.

I did a full wipe/Odin to stock/reinstall (for other reasons) and it's still gone.

It was checked as enabled in the ROM Customizer, set it to disabled, hot boot, set it to enabled, hot boot... nada. Never appears.

Ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Bluetooth should be colored by Notification Icons color
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drummerboy814:
Beans will there be an option to disable the lock screen warning when the wrong pass code is entered? That would be fantastic, that popup is annoying
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacedrum69:
I'll upload it in a few
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1storm976:
You should be able to linked or unlinked .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] prenedo:
I don't see an option for BT icon either (in linked/unlinked colors). Mine are all white though, so I haven't tested anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1storm976:
I linked all and my colors all match.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I have tested and don't see BT anywhere in linked or unlinked colors.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pacedrum69:
here ya go
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] siverson:
Fantastic ! THANKS !

Dialer in Landscape Mode

I was wondering if anybody has any idea on a fix for the dialer in landscape mode issue. Whenever the dialer comes up while in landscape mode, it causes "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped." I believe this log was requested. Let me know if there is anything else that I can provide.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pschatz12:
Anyone know how to get an all black theme for this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1storm976:
Yes it's the notification on linked and unique linked but also controls a few others.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] corporal_hades:
Hey [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] will this rom be updated to the new version NI2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
That's the hope since their has been a lot of talk. I'm not sure if Goldie or Beans replied, but they will if they haven't. Patience.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
He said way back when he was releasing Build 2 that Build 3 would be NI2 based since NHA and NI2 came so close together, there's no reason to rebase for NHA. He actually asked us in the thread if we wanted him to release Build 2, or wait until the NHA tar dropped so he could rebase, but people wanted NE9 and by the time that was done, NI2 was updating, so NHA getting skipped altogether.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drummerboy814:
My S5's getting like 15 hours of battery time per charge with minimal usage... Kernel is always easily the #1 drainer. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
My battery time on idle on this build has been SO varied.. I've seen anything from 0.4 to 1.8% an hour leaving the phone idle. Kernel is never the issue.. there never is a discernible issue in BBS that I see. Given that my only experience on NE9 has been on AllianceRom, I can't say whether what I've noticed is Alliance Build 2 related or an NE9 issue, though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RockyCJC:
I was running the latest build of extreme syndicate which is on NE9 and the battery life was amazing so I don't k kW that it is necessarily NE9 related. Syndicate is extremely debloated though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
I usually get great battery life, but on this build I have had to reboot a lot when I notice battery drain with no discernible source in BetterBatteryStats.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Anybody having trouble with the notification panal when you press down on a notification and the pressed notification color doesn't show?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] agolfingcigar:
Hey,

Any thoughts on a release date for AR supporting NI2?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 1storm976:
No some time u have to restart the ui. And see what colors changed then go back and adjust to what u like. That's what I did. I have all things linked a bright blue. Looks cool.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Can you run art instead of Dalvik on this rom and safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] epicfailftw123:
You can, but you have to uninstall Xposed for it to run properly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] siverson:
Just my take on battery life. I never compared to full on stock because mine was rooted within 10 mins outta box last Saturday, and then ROM'd later with this build.

I love my battery life, not always heavy use but one medium use day I was at around 40 hours on a charge. Keep in mind it was a medium-high use day., then petered off after awhile to medium use.

Bottom line I am getting far better life with this ROM as I did with Alliance on my GS4. Now I was pretty good there too.... Running KToonz kernel and the Overactive Imagination profile and still got a good 24hrs most days with medium-high use.

Mileage always varies, but I am REAL happy with this ROM and the S5. (Not so happy that my kid needed new phone right away due to bad kernel killing his S3)

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheAutonomousGeek:
I'm still having this problem. I've actually gotten another S5, rooted, installed AllianceRom, restored Titanium Backup and the issue has reappeared. I couldn't find a Rom setting reset to default button anywhere, and I can't make the Brightness slider reappear.

Edit: WTH... literally posted this, looked at my phone, and it was back. Either Beans is WAY more awesome than we think, or something nutty is going on with my phone/eyes/brain.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RockyCJC:
What I can confirm is that depending on which theme you apply in settings the slider will be in a different place or not there at all. the other suggestion I could make is not to use TB and see if that makes any difference after reloading the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheAutonomousGeek:
At this point I"m just not messing with anything for a while and am just being happy it's reappeared inexplicably. I haven't even messed with themes (ever).

I've reset and setup this phone so many times in the last week I'm ready to be done tinkering with it for quite some time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Talking about themes, are their any custom ones we can add? If you have any to share, please post it on the thread.

A Couple of Problems

Hi All,

Second Request,

My Fingerprint sensor will no initiate. I get an error message anytime I try to access it..

When I reboot, the screen goes black, The buttons on each side of the home button light up, and the phone stalls just like that.

Any ideas??

Other than that spectacular battery life, incredibly smooth, and all else seems to work just fine.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] prenedo:
I assume your not on stock ROM slot by the second issue. Install on stock ROM slot, there's issues w rebooting if not on stock slot. I've seen others have issues with the scanner, not sure what causes it. Post back if it works on stock ROM slot, that may be the cause of the scanner issues too...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] colklink14:
COuple of problems

My first venture into safe strap, evidently I did but it on the stock rom but not on the stock rom slot. Can I go back to complete stock and start over??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drummerboy814:
I like the ROM but I'm switching back to the stock ROM until build 3, I just can't get my battery to cooperate with Alliance. With zero usage (besides checking the level once in a while) my phone is draining 5-6% an hour just idling, Android System and Kernel being the biggest drainers. As you can imagine, using the phone even minimally throughout the day leads to a 15 hour battery life and I just can't use that :P hopefully build 3 will fix this issue for me, I'll flash it as soon as it's out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mmartenn:
Did you try Build 2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Do you have to do something to set up tethering? I tried bluetooth paring with my laptop. Regular mobile hotspot app works perfectly, but nothing comes up at all in my Wifi connections list when I try to tether, whether it be via Bluetooth or USB. Haven't been able to figure it out, was having the same issue on Build 1. Anyone know what I might be missing here? Could be very basic as I've never had tethering enabled on a device before this rom, just carrier mobile hotspots,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drummerboy814:
I flashed Build 2 as soon as it was released. I think it must be 4.4.2 causing the issue because I'm back on stock 4.4.2 and I'm having the same issue. Fingers crossed for 4.4.4 I suppose.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GoBears:
Odin'd to NE9 then installed build 2. It is running flawlessly with just enough customization built in that xposed is not even necessary! What a fabulous ROM. Thanks once again Beans!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kidruk:
Beans we love you my man!

I have a question... For people that use optimum app... Does this rom break it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
AFAIK Optimum app does not work on rooted phones, per an Optimum rep
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kidruk:
Not sure how true that is.... I want to say that the optimum app was working on my phone while I was rooted but just not on the alliance rom...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
Just sharing what I was told by an Optimum rep since I havent been able to load up the app since i had the S3. It used to work up to a certain point, and then they decided to go all crazy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] prenedo:
If it's not working due to root, you can hide it w xposed module 'rootcloak'
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kidruk:
Your the man! Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Im not asking for an ETA just asking if there will be a NI2 version coming.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Franzie3:
Anyone figure out the whole landscape orientation giving fc on a few apps??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bitterroots:
Landscape issue

I have been having issues with this as well. Especially with the dialer. Hopefully someone will help us out! :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
If Im on NI2 can I install the rom then flash the NE9 kernel or is there a way of downgrading to NE9/NC2?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Yes but I would also go to backup and reset in the settings menu first and factory data reset. Just make sure you grab the NE9 firmware only file.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
Is there any way to donate from the Play Store like you can with apps and stuff? I want to donate but I'm broke right now, so I usually donate from my Play Store account from when I wasn't to Devs I feel deserve it, but can't figure out how to for a rom instead of an app. .. quite possibly because it's not possible, but I figure I may as well ask, as Beans is definitely on my "Devs who deserve it" list.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] srish2:
Great ROM, thank you!

Thank you BeansTown106 for a great ROM. Slimmed down and incredible battery life.

Donated $20 to your efforts. Keep up the great work!

I can't seem to apply themes. Alliance manager blank. I get an error when I try to make a backup of the theme also. Attached are some screenshots.

Can't catch the error creating the theme. It says can't read theme.txt

No other issues with the rom.

Is there a way to copy the themes from the rom zip so I don't have to try to reinstall? Looking in the zip I can't seem to find where the themes are at?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bad bone:
"delete the alliance folder on internal sdcard and then open alliance manager again it will remake the folder and add back the themes." From beans at the bottom of page 25 I think.

http://bit.ly/1brshoa
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid_Evo_8:
Try redownload the ROM again and do a factory reset when u try to reinstall it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
Any custom themes yet, to share?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
Sweet thanks that worked deleting the alliance folder

Obviously not asking for an ETA, just curious
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] scauffiel:
Dark Gmail App?

I'm still on Build 1 (though I haven't seen this addressed anywhere in anything about Build 2) but is there anything we can do about a dark/blacked out Gmail app for this ROM? I've tried a couple of other .apk's found elsewhere for sh!ts and giggles but no joy.

Hopefully I'm not missing a simple setting somewhere. :o

Or maybe hopefully I am. :p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
I'm rooted on NI2 stock, I really want to flash this ROM, anybody know which file I need to get on NE9 so I can run this ROM?

and where to find the NE9 file? Does it need to be flashed with Odin, or can it be done with Safestrap?

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
You need to download the ROM and the NE9 firmware that's listed in step 4 of the Install Instructions in the OP. Flash the ROM like normal with Safe Strap and them immediately flash the NE9 firmware with Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
Great, thank you! Should I let the ROM boot up after flashing it in Safestrap? Or just power down once the installation completes and boot into download mode?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
Boot straight to Download Mode and flash the NE9 firmware after you flash the ROM. I'm pretty sure Alliance and the NI2 firmware wouldn't play nicely together. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
Haha thanks, your probably right...I followed the NI2 upgrade root guide so I could try the VOLTE feature, that is not available on NE9 correct? But there should be am NI2 build for this ROM at some point anyway I've read so it probably won't matter
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
No VOLTE on NE9, but Build 3 of this rom will be NI2 based, so yeah when we get a new build you'll be VOLTE ready
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
Cool, thanks for the info, one more question, anybody have a link to the Odin images to restore incase I have any issues? I just realized I don't yet have those files
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/stock-collection-kernels-modems-t2842069
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
So just to make sure I'm thinking correctly, if anything went wrong, I could just use Odin to flash the NCG FULL STOCK. tar file to bring my S5 back to out of the box on NCG, root using towel root, then flash the NI2 stock Kernel to get back to the latest firmware while holding onto root access.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wrongway213:
that's my understanding, yes. never had to go that route myself, but from what i've gathered that's what you would need to do if you ran into issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ludeawakening:
That is correct, VoLTE isn't in this Build 2, it should definitely be in Build 3. Just go ahead and give this one a run and I bet you definitely won't be disappointed. Then you'll really be looking forward to Build 3, and VoLTE will just be icing on the cake. I absolutely love Alliance. It is so fast and smooth, and mine is even faster now that I got rid of every bit of the Verizon garbage. I don't need it since I'm using T-Mobile with mine.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

You nailed it. That is the exact procedure you'll need to do if something goes wrong. But if you are good at following instructions, then the Alliance ROM and the firmware flashing will go flawlessly for you. I have faith in you. Haha :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Boarder277:
Awesome! You guys are the best here, love this forum...gonna go ahead and flash away tonight! Looking forward to it!
