Is there a version of this ROM that retains all user data, etc?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfEngr:
Fixed. Thanks.

After doing a couple of searches on this for a resolution.... I guess either no one else uses this feature, don't have a fix for it yet, don't care, or I just missed it.

If this function doesn't work then Guess I'll have to find another ROM til it's fixed. Have to have it working.

Pandora has been hanging on the lock screen and causing the phone to be unresponsive

About a few weeks ago, Pandora started to hang on the lock screen and causing the phone to be unresponsive. I have to wait until a popup message that states Pandora has been unresponsive, do you want to wait or kill it. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any suggestion for resolution? Thanks!

how to get wifi working with alliance rom 30

I am going to need some help and direction, I went round and round all day yesterday trying to get the wifi working with alliance rom on my i605 comming from cm12 with phils recovery. Lots of people talking about the MJ9 and up modem but very little info on getting and flashing that modem?

I do not have a windows computer and I do not have access to odin, can it be worked using phils recovery?

So after reading every xda and google thread the synopsis on how to get this to work is what?

and the direct links to the file downloads needed are where?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
If your running Linux put Windows in a VirtualBox and run from there or if Odin works with wine use that.

or, you don't even have to mess with virtual box/vmware just use heimdall. so so much easier and you don't have to fight with the ridiculous driver problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That's a better solution, native is always better, i had completely forgotten about heimdall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] virginwidow:
Heimdahl?? Is there a help file, examples, place to get image files?

I've been very interested in trying the Heimdahl over in my Linux bott. It just makes more sense android looks like Linux anyways might make life easier to prevent having to "translate" mentally between Windows / Linux.... The images OP has posted, these all look like 4.4.2 (I'm on that dern 442 locked bootloader) I'm wondering can Heimdahl get the rooted deodexed into my stock phone (or will it work after ha ha )

THANKS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Android is essentially Linux, but with loads of changes and i believe Safestrap will solve that urge to flash, haven't needed it so maybe someone can point you in the right direction.

I'm still waiting on someone to help with screen mirroring, i probably removed the app needed during my debloat process.

Is there a way to turn on message preview? Can't find it in the drop down settings or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Should either be in messages settings or privacy settings, maybe even locks screen settings.

Start with messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wishkah420:
I've looked everywhere i think. Still can't find it. Drives me crazy when i get a text and turn my phone on and it just says new message. I thought maybe unlock screen settings but not there either.

How do I change call backround image on this rom? When I get a call a pic of a chic comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wishkah420:
Flashable .zip a couple pages back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wishkah420:
That's for pop up. I know on stock you could preview the message from the lock screen pulldown...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That should enable the message preview on the lock screen itself, there is a separate check box for pop up.

Can't upload the image for some reason, to get it on the lock screen it's the second tick box from the bottom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wishkah420:
That's funny. I just had to uncheck and recheck the boxes. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Happens with custom roms sometimes, not sure why, but I've just taken it as the customizable stuff that's checked isn't toggled in a script somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psalm462:
I have had this rom running perfectly for some time and for some reason I don't know why, but the screen stopped rotating. I tried all the suggestions that were posted and none would work. I then re-installed the ROM with a clean wipe and it worked for 30 minutes. Somewhere in the the process of Google re-installing the apps, it stopped rotating. Is there something I am missing from the threads or does anyone have an idea of what is going on? It will not rotate on any screen as if I have locked.

I checked Settings-Display-Auto Rotate

I even went into Setting-Alliance MOD Custom Settings-General Mods-Launcher Rotation (and rebooted)

I have turned them on and off, rebooting and tried all kings of combinations, nothing brings rotate back.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Maybe the sensor has went bad, does it work for a short time after a fresh flash or sporadically after at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psalm462:
Only for a short time after install. I can text and use the internet in landscape, but about ten minutes later, while google is loading my apps, it will stop working. Makes me think a specific app is corrupting the system.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Once it stops rotating, it does not go back. It acts as if I have screen rotation turned off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
It does sound like a app or saved setting is the issue, disable sync apps as soon as you finish the flash.

If anyone else is having issues with agni kernel on this rom, primarily mtp, i have posted in the Q&A for agni kernel to try to find out how many are affected.

The kernel dev said nothing has changed in the kernel that would cause a issue, so I'm wondering if something with the rom is different or if it is just this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Is mtp.transferring files between computer and phone? I thought I've read we almost need to use agni on this Rom? I loved the old beans and really want to return
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Yes mtp is exactly that, not sure why it isn't working and no one has responded to the post as many of my posts are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
safestrap -> dn3 -> alliance

It turns out that safestrap cannot/will not correctly install Alliance on a freshly-rooted-bootlocked nd7 i605. The DN3 rom must be loaded first.

Strangely, DN3 only works properly if the files (but not subdirectories) from the Alliance /system are overlaid on the DN3 installation.

DN3 has nicer themes than Alliance (I particularly like the Experia theme). It would be nice if Alliance could run DN3 themes.

Alliance has better functionality, however, so I am sticking with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] voyager529:
I find myself in this exact scenario. I've Ghettorooted and Safestrapped my phone (guess I really can't fault Asurion for making sure it's running the latest Android...), and wanted to run Alliance on it. I don't see any references to DN3 in the forums; can you elaborate on this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Ok so a few questions, must I use agni on this Rom? Secondly, is it an issue for everyone on agni (mtp) or just.random?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
You don't have to, but i have found the lags that occur go away with agni and i have only net one other agni user that lost mtp, I'm not sure if it is rom specific or 4.4.2, no one has said anything yet.

If your not worried about losing mtp, flash it and if you find yourself in the same position and need mtp like i sometimes do, you can do what I did to restore the stock kernel and dirty flash without wiping.

Probably a better way to get it back, i did this the first time when my phone wouldn't even boot lol

I am also growing more curious to know if maybe it was just the version I flashed as the dev has updated several times since, but said nothing has ever changed with the kernel and how mtp works with it.

So I'm at a loss, but to try again and see what happens.

I'm just going to flash v4.4.4 and see what happens when i get home and try to use mtp since i haven't had many agni users (exactly 0) say anything since I posted last about it.

Nope only connecting as a camera works, still no mtp :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Ugh...I suppose I could transfer gigs of pics via.Bluetooth but that would be a huge pain

I've been on stock rooted/unlocked 4.4 for months because I messed up and flashed a bad boot loader last fall. I hate it and it's so slow (cleaned dalvik, cache etc not a total noob).

I literally make money from my phone and can't afford it to be down, so I'm Uber paranoid. I did make a back up with philz so I guess my bases are covered. Haven't really looked into other roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Meyrinn:
Hi. When you plug the phone into the computer for file transfer, does it say 'installing driver' in the status bar? Mine says that almost every time I plug it in and I have to let it finish installing(of course). Once it installs and says mtp connected, go to usb options and select the checkbox for mtp again.

Even when the driver is already installed I have to do this to get it to work. Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Well i don't think it's going to explode, unless you over clock then maybe it could lol, i just feel like it is snappier, i can see the difference with one app, xda developers it doesn't hang when trying to change pages, i did find the photos side works so I'm not entirely sure, but you can probably upload anything and only download pictures :/

I'm going to stick with the kernel and see if i can find a solution, been busy with my hackintosh, that's 99% complete so once I fix hdmi audio if ever I'll Google this issue until my fingers bleed lol

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Thanks for being helpful, yes I am aware of this and have the drivers installed, perhaps you are onto something there though, updated drivers if available possibly could be the solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
You can download Ditto Note 3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565674

Safestrap installed it successfully for me over rooted stock (but would not install Alliance) - I first tested this in a rom slot. SuperSU is installed in this rom, but not working, so you will have to root again. Alliance installed successfully over DN3. You can find discussion the Ditto Note 3 rom for the Verizon SCH-i605 here:

http://galaxynote2root.com/t-mobile...to-convert-note-2-into-s5note-3-hybrid-phone/

Note that the article also mentions extra Touchwiz themes, that you can find here:

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/HighOnAndroid/TouchWiz/TouchWizThemes.zip

I've found that these themes will also work in Alliance - pressing the menu key while on the main desktop will give you a pop-up settings menu that includes a "Themes" option, which presents the DN3 themes, which are separate from the Alliance themes. I've got my Experia theme back.

That's pretty cool thanks charlie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
keyboard colors

No problem. I would like to know how to change the keyboard colors. I don't like them as dark as they are. I see some parameters in /storage/emulated/0/Alliance/CurrentTheme/MyTheme.txt that look promising. The theme text files list kb_color* entries with large negative integers.

Are these colors decimal versions of hex-style #FFFFFF rgb triplets? If I change these and reboot, will I see new colors?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Or you could you the custom settings app and change it all in there :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] godrick15:
When I search on Youtube the text is white (matches the background) and I cant see what I'm typing.

It happens with many other apps too.

How do you change this?

From the bottom check box 2 through 4 and you should be good to go.

Change dialer touch sound

I want to change the dialer touch sound (not DTMF sounds but the "haptic" touch sound when dialing). I tried using ROM Toolbox to replace system/media/audio/ui/dialer_new.ogg with the sound I wanted to use. I restarted but that apparently isn't the right file. Does anyone know which is the correct file to rename and replace?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Extract the audio files and listen to them, I'm not even sure what sound you are referring to, the only one I am aware of is the dtmf.

Oh i see, yea extract the files from the rom and just play through them and you should find the one you want to change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsteinschneider:
I have provided my own .ogg I want to use. I want the phone to still have the water drop for other touch sounds. When I play any ogg file with touch in the name they all are variations of the water drop - they are so similar I can't identify the one that is the phone touch dial sound. I was hoping to avoid changing them one by one until I find it. I guess I'm the first to make this change. Will post back here when I find the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
From what i heard it is a higher pitch than the usual touch sound.

xposed

I am slowly reading this thread's history, and there are cautions on using xposed.

I have loaded xprivacy and youtube adaway, and they seem to work well. Are there any problems with these modules?

Are there any other xposed modules that work well with and compliment Alliance? Any that are specifically problematic?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] robrooter:
OK. Been doing this a while. I am lost and don't want to start till I get help.

I am DLing DN3 and Alliance 30

I see it says flash over stock slot.

It don't say wipe data or nothing normal. Do I full wipe???

This Thread a page or two back says flash DN3 then re root then alliance. But also mentions certain files.

Please. I am so confused. I own this phone and can not play. This sucks.

Can I get a noob to Safestrap walkthrough please. I have safestrap installed and both rom's ready. Just need a how to. Thanks a ton in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
Ghettoroot -> DN3 -> Alliance

If you've run Ghettoroot, installed SuperSU and Safestrap, then boot into Safestrap and create a rom slot. Install DN3 into that slot. If the install is successful, then delete that rom slot, then install DN3 over stock. If you are going to play with DN3, you might also install the extra touchwiz theme .zip file that I previously mentioned into stock also. Finally, reboot.

If there is a problem at this stage, you will need the original vendor firmware and Odin.

Supposedly, wifi does not work in DN3. If you want to make it work, take just the files out of /system from the Alliance .zip and copy them into your installed DN3 /system and reboot. Do not take any subdirectories of /system or their contents. Everything should work after that. You also have the option of placing these files into a modified DN3 zip to use in the previous step.

The SuperSU in DN3 does not work. Reroot and install it again. Install Safestrap again. Reboot into Safestrap.

Create a rom slot. Install the Alliance .zip into your new rom slot. If the install is successful, delete the rom slot, then install Alliance over stock. Then install the extra touchwiz themes .zip file. Then reboot.

Enjoy your Alliance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] robrooter:
Will try tonight when home. And let you know. I got ahead of myself last night...hit wipe system and tried to reboot recovery...uh-oh. .. and now I have Odin and ND7 ready as well :)

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

What screen controls?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
xposed, incallui.apk

Many have cautioned against any xposed modules that implement themes or sundry UI controls. Modules unrelated to the UI are supposedly less risky.

While placing or receiving a call, the buttons at the bottom of the screen are hard to read with the default background of the Asian woman. The buttons are easier to read when the incallui.apk file is edited to change the background image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
Call Recorder

Does anyone know if the TWCallRecorder app works properly on Alliance?

This is an xposed module. It presents a simple menu with the options below:

Enable call recording y/n

Show Call Record Button on/off

Enable call recording in menu on/off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That setting is also in the custom settings and it does work.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

I had a hard time with that as well, so I dropped build 29 incallui.apk into system after backing up the new dialer.

nobloat

Since I am on an MVNO, I don't want to run any Verzion apps on my phone whatsoever.

I also don't want to participate in the Samsung app store, and unless there is a clear benefit, I'd rather not run Samsung apps as well.

So I downloaded the "nobloat" app from the play store, and I have disabled all the system apps below (I may have gone a little overboard). My phone is still stable and runs well without whatever these things were doing.
