I was looking around in that file but didn't see anything that stood out as brightness slider. I poked around the Alliance Rom website but didn't see anything.

Thanks guys for a solid rom and great customizations for a 2 year old device. May keep this phone longer than expected since this rom is rockin...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
Yeah its key is notification_panel_brightness_adjustment. But if you need to change anything just change it in custom settings. In this case in notification panel options :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I'm coming from AOSP flashing this rom. I removed the SD card and wiped everything 100% on the phone. ODINd back to MC3, unlocked and am flashing Alliance Rom now. I'm going to try to get it to work without having to flash the agni kernel, so I'm starting fresh.

One question though: Since I ODINd back to MC3, I'm assuming that's where the modem will be too. I need to upgrade to MJ9 or ND7, but I'm wondering if it matters whether I flash it in ODIN or recovery? Obviously .tar.md5 for ODIN and .zip for recovery. I've always read not to flash anything other than the official roms in ODIN, I wasn't sure if that applied to modems as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
you have to be atleast on mj9 and needs to be flashed via odin.

nd7 can be flash from recovery but only after you on mj9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Please let us know how this works out and if it does details please. I'm also contemplating ODINd back to MC3 but I'm just scared I'm going to mess something up. Can you please specify in great detail your steps cause I have a few questions.

1. Are you using KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5?

2. After you ODIN, what method are you using to Root?

3. What recovery are you going to install?

4. Are you flashing modem prior to Alliance, like when your running MC3 or right after you install the .zip for Alliance?

5. What about the MJ9 bootloader firmware you needed to flash to get wifi working in Beans B26 or other MJ9 roms? What are your plans with that?

Thank You.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdblaze:
I can answer 3 of these for you.

3. Currently Philz is the recommended recovery. TWRP is creating loss of root for many users.

4. Yes, you should flash the MJ9 modem in ODIN (must be done in ODIN) prior to flashing Alliance ROM in recovery.

5. The MJ9 firmware and the MJ9 modem are the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Thank you. I was under the impression the small MJ9 firmware file that had to be ODINd was not modem related and more bootloader related? Thanks for clearing that up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
1. Yes that's the stock image I used.

2. Casual R515b which gives me twrp that I used to flash Philz.

3. Philz 6.48.x

4. I flashed Alliance before flashing the modem (oops). Tried to boot with the MC3 modem, stuck in splash screen for 20 mins, pulled the battery and tried again, same thing. I flashed an MJ9 zip, followed by ND7, still no boot. I went back and wiped data, cache, clean for new rom and dalvik. Without rebooting, I flashed Alliance and agni and it booted.

5. Wifi works fine for me so far, I'm not familiar with the b26 firmware; it's been awhile since I've used beans. I went to AOSP for awhile once 4.4.2 came out.

I can't compare TW data speeds, but mobile data seems much faster than cm11 that I came from. It's not as spotty either. Wifi tether is asking for a subscription, NFC fc's every boot, quick pin unlock doesn't work, but I did get the home button to turn the screen on after toggling it a couple times. No problems that haven't already been mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
I was hoping you were going to say you got it booted with stock kernel. I guess I'll pass on trying if you ODINd back to MC3 and couldn't get it to boot either without AGNI. Thank you for trying this, if you got it booted with stock Kernel I was going to do this tomorrow morning at work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Well I spoke too soon. The music is still skipping. It's OK. I can listen to Pandora while driving. There'll be an update pretty soon it sounds like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Hey L18!! I had a feeling you were working hard on something new. DLing now... can't get it fast enough to try it out. Thanks once again for everyone involved keeping our Note 2's relevant!!

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Not sure if my memory is correct, but wasn't there something about an ad blocker causing music to skip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidnew:
What did I do to.make the themes stop working? They worked in the begining.

I'm sure it's something I did and not the ROM. Just looking for ideas...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
That's the latest Touchwhiz with KitKat available for the Note 2 if I am correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
;)

Thought it said 4.3 when download started

even though thread does says 4.4.2.

so just what ed to know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
Hotspot from the toggle in drop down menu doesn't work like it did? It worked after a reboot for a split second then cut off asking for a subscription thru verizon :( do we have to install the old wifi tether from trev? I tried this also and it's not working either. Says phone is in an unknown state
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Wow I can't believe there is another alliance ROM I don't know if I should flash it or not I used every single ROM beans made for the note 2 since it came out but I been using slimkat since I didn't think anyone would take over for beans. How is it running? Is it just as good as before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Awesome work l18.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anaya1213:
Air command? Doesn't say if it does on the features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
So far so good from everything I've checked except for wifi hotspot which is a deal breaker for me lol. Goin back to build 26 until we get a fix which I'm sure will be soon. Other than that flash away lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I'll have to test this.. it's enabled in services. Remember this is the first build on 4.4.2.. so plenty of updates and features to come that are currently not available yet..

We don't like the words "deal breaker"..:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I am having the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tired Storeman:
Congrats on the rom mate.

The possibilities are infinite;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
You say from the drop down menu....

what about in menu settings?

Not a "deal breaker" for me either way.... just means more updates and flashing to come ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2pezboy:
Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
Well "deal breaker" was kinda harsh lol. It's just I use my phone to run alot of things for work bt I kno it's just the 1st build and will updated a ton so no worries. Bt to answer ur question no it doesn't work thru menu settings either. And for some reason now that I went back to reflash build 26 no matter what it will not get past the alliance loading screen so I'm back on build 27 and will ride this baby out til an update :)

Thanks a ton for picking up the development on the note 2. Going to flash this momentarily and send donation tomorrow. I do have a quick request. One thing I loved about Scott's roms was the volume hack. I don't see it in 26 or this build. Any chance we could get a volume boost??? :D:D

zedge downloads not working. i need to run foldermount,however its not finding root, and im not getting the request from supersu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
It sounds like you used one of adam's earlier bootloader unlock methods (like myself) the only way I can get 4.4 roms to load is by using the following method below:

Use Phil latest. After ROM installation (don't reboot) flash agni kernel then reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
got it working. had to flash an older version of super su and then update it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Outstanding!!!! You have definitely struck gold with this rom. Finally got it to boot but i had to flash Agni kernel for some reason. Running great and super smooth. Customizing is actually better than build 26 with way more options. You probably get sick of hearing it but thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
Apparently either xposed or wanam modules don't play nice with this rom. Just had bunch of freezing, uninstalled it and it's working better

First off great rom and thanks for keeping this going

If this question has been answered already my bad but I've searched the forum and couldn't find an answer. My issue is with wifi. it just won't work. I did a clean wipe and installed stock B27. I can boot up just fine and my data works fine. But when I try to toggle wifi I literally can't. it instantly toggles off. I have tried switching the firmware between ND7 and MJ9 with no luck. I've tried rebooting and wiping cache and dalvik with no luck. I think it may have something to do with Touchwiz based rom running 4.44 because I tried another touchwiz based rom and got the same problem. I can run AOSP and CM with no issues. Anyone have any suggestions for a fix? I REALLY want to use this rom.

This rom is working pretty smoothly right now. Gps, WiFi, data, texting and calling no problems. One fc in the settings but was expected because it was mentioned in the op that might happen. Theme on the fly rocks! I can't wait until things get ironed out but for now it seems pretty solid. I do miss the air command and the spen features tho but I'm sure it's coming back. Awesome work alliance crew!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForcePhenomenon:
Thank God I'm not the only one with the nfc issue, thought my phone was starting to give out. You also answered one of my questions, which was would that be fixed if if Odin'd ND7. I flashed MJ9 and haven't bothered since. Would it be wise to do so anyway?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtrain:
I'm interested in trying this ROM as I used to rock Bean's ROM all the time. Currently I am on Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4. Do I need to do anything besides wiping everything to switch to this ROM? thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I don't have an ad blocker right now. I almost always do though. I just haven't got around to it yet. But you got me thinking and I think I found it. It was my Antivirus. I uninstalled it and no skipping yet this morning. Thanks man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
Same here with Spotify. Doesn't matter if screen is on or off, charging or not. This was through bluetooth; I didn't try through the 3.5mm jack.

I think its Wanam. Mine kept freezing also, but after I uninstalled Wanam, it was fine. I used 'X Tether' to get wifi tether working. Wanam wouldn't bypass the security checks.

I will say that GPS worked perfect and locked almost instantly. I love the camera access from the lockscreen too. After setting up my PIN lock, I was really surprised to see it block access to the gallery and only let you use the camera. I appreciate all the work put into the ROM and I wish I could help beta test getting the bugs worked out, but I don't have the time and need something stable. I'll be back for the next update :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
This morning I listened to it for about 20 minutes, through earphones and unplugged with no skipping. Then I put it in the car dock, hooked up through Bluetooth and got a skip about once a minute. Then I removed it from the dock and started listening through earphones again and it skipped terribly. So I tried Pandora and it stopped all the skipping. Then I tried Poweramp again and have been listening for about 20 minutes without skipping again.

Update: Ok it's doing it again. I guess it really is something in the rom. I guess I'll just quit messing with it and wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I've been listening to my music through the hp jack hooked to a shelf unit. Skipped a couple of times at first then stopped... Using playerpro. Been more than an hour so, fingers crossed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
Hate to be that guy but us there an update coming anytime soon? My phone died last night and u put it on the charger and came back to it about 30 mins later to find its back to restored plus my apps minus my app data. System settings and user data seems to have been reset?

Just trying to figure out if I should go back through and set everything up again or just wait.

Ran into the first problem... While on a call data stops working and WiFi becomes sluggish at best. I've read that is a common problem with kitkat 4.4.2. Idk... I tried turning off and on the data and WiFi hoping it would restart but it didn't work. Similar thing happens in R3ds but not as bad. After the call everything goes back to normal, 4g is fast and the WiFi is zipping along.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
For the first time today my phone froze up and wouldn't wake up. (screen off)

Had to pull the battery.

Just a few hours later it froze again and I couldn't get the screen to shut off. I just let it sit this time. Eventually came back around.

Kinda surprised me to say the least

The OP says I need to be on a specific version to install this. I'm still on MC3. Is there a recommended method to upgrade without issues of safestrap, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AustinTylerDean:
Developer Options & Animations

Hi Gang,

I'm really glad I landed on this ROM. Thanks for the hard work, and good luck with the kiddy!

To the rest of you, I have this problem with Hangouts. It doesn't scroll down to the last text, which makes me lose my god $&%^ed mind. The solution is apparently to enable animations to at least .5x in Developer Options. Where is Developer Options? Tapping on the item in about phone is A)Already enabled as the OP stated and B) does nothing more than show the K and KitKat images.

And if you know the answer to the above problem, please also tell me if getting Animations to .5x will require any other steps.

I'd be grateful for answers.

You need to ODIN the MJ9 firmware first, found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557

Reference Beans' old thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032447

Post #2 tells you to ODIN MJ9 before flashing if you're coming from an older build/modem. That is the MJ9 modem firmware only. Personally, ODIN scares me haha. I only use it when going back to stock to do a COMPLETE wipe. If you're still on MC3 and you're coming to KK, I'd start fresh.

Back up all of your files to your SD card (don't save apps/app data due to incompatibility).

Remove the SD Card from the phone

Boot into Philz Recovery and wipe everything: Data, cache, boot, modem, dalvik, etc. Everything.

Reboot into download mode (it will ask you to re-root when you exit philz, say no).

Flash MC3 in ODIN

Unlock in Casual

Boot to TWRP and flash Philz again

Wipe data/cache in Philz, Install Alliance (and optionally Agni before rebooting).

Reboot

Profit

The icons in the status bar are missing or do you mean the quick toggles in the pull down menu? I noticed my BT icon would stick on or off. Even when I toggled it, the status bar icon wouldn't change.

Not really an app, but myself and others were using Xposed and the 'X Tether' module. That will enable the stock tethering.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwpoersch:
Yes, I am one one the "few" I guess who have managed to retain their unlimited data. Has that indeed been proven that's what is the cause? If so, I must've missed that post, I remember where you showed yours was working, but I have never gotten it to work on this rom even tho it does work in other 4.4 roms (Trenton's for one tho the constant reboots forced me away from that rom as well), so that's the only reason I'm skeptical that's the issue. However, you all likely know much more about it than I do. Currently residing with Beans #23 4.3 ver and have no issues wifi tether or otherwise, if that's useful.
