Looks like Xposed is finally Confirmed/Tested working on S5 Deodex ROMs..........Think we can get this baked in on a new ROM update?????

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463

Update:

Followed above link instructions and installed Xposed successfully on this ROM (AllianceROM). Used FlashFire. No Issues. Attached screenshots.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eric00716:
Ive read at least one developer has had a look at xposed for tw lollipop and has said he wont be baking this into his rom because it makes too many changes. I'm wondering what the dev's for our rom think about baking this in?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Xposed will never be included in Alliance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Makes complete sense... As useful and nice as it is, it adds entirely too many variables to the troubleshooting game. Hell, some devs even require a fresh install without it before working an issue. I'm still running the 4.4.2 Sprint port with xposed and it works just fine but when I need to troubleshoot issues the first thing I do it disable xposed. Lol.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] careingemt:
could someone please clearify this for me....

I was told i need ti be on kitkat to install this rom. i am a little confused

Here is the Alliance V8 lollipop rom. When Flashed this will create a folder on internal storage called Alliance-Zips. Inside the folder will be zips you can flash for the options that the aroma installer had. The rom will install as stock rom. In the Alliance-Zips folder you have the option to flash the Alliance Dark theme which is what the V7 verizon rom was. There is Also a new Black Glass Theme. There are also the debloat zips. If you decide to flash the Dark theme or Black Glass you will need to wipe cache and dalvik cache this will cause the phone to reload all apks and may take up to 10 to 15 minutes to boot. As Always do not check any boxes or consent to send diagnostic reports to samsung or google or you will loose data! Remember this is a port so no HD or HD Video Calling!

are these instructions correct

1. Make sure you are rooted

2. Install SafeStrap (make sure you are not on lollipop, as I dont believe it works on it)

3. Install the v8.1 of this rom from jrkruse on page 53 ( http://xdaforums.com/veri...2971430/page53 ) by using the install function on Safestrap to install this rom to the stock slot

4. Use Odin and flash the BOC4 retail firmware (restart into download mode from SafeStrap and make sure the USB drivers are installed and then basically drag the firmware file in to the spot labeled "AP", make sure that is checked then hit start and let it work) ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553180 ), fairly sure that is the link you want to use.

5. After Odin is done, it should restart and load directly into the custom rom (allow up to 20min for this to load on its first time).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MosesTheTool:
You need to be on Kitkat to root and install Safestrap, after that it's all good, you can flash the rom (Backup first, then Wipe, then install), and after the installation, reboot to Download mode, and flash the VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 file, and you're done.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eric00716:
I can confirm xposed works flawlessly with this rom, flashed with flashfire after i made a backup...no glitches after a day of use.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dashaquavius:
My friend, lol but the Verizon S5 NE9 Alliance Rom had Xposed in custom settings.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
I have been on alliance for several months. I am currently on the latest version (8.1) and am looking for the zip files mentioned above. I do not seem to have these... where is the folder supposed to be? on the root of the internal SD?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Yes....just keep poking around your internal SD....you'll find it. Don't have my phone handy right now to tell you exactly where.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Micgen05:
so....

I have a question

I just rooted my phone and it is safestrapped

I am currently running, ( build number) ktu84p.g900vvru1ank2

what do I need to do to get this rom on here I am kinda a newb
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Get ROM on Phone external SD. Enter Safestrap. Do any wipes necessary. Flash ROM. Boot to download mode from safestrap and then use odin to flash OC4 Kernel Only (If Already On BOA8 Firmware) or the OC4 Retail Firmware Only (If on Firmware Earlier than BOA8). Then you will be good to go. This process must be done every time you need to use SafeStrap! These instructions are written in the OP of this thread........I just replaced the Kernel/Firmware numbers with the latest ones available and dropped the link to the Odin Files below.

Look here for any Odin Files

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
For some reason I still couldn't view the folder, so instead I extracted the zips form the original ROM zip.

Now I am trying to open flashfire and it wont load at all.... i realize this may be an app issue, but thought I would ask here if anyone knows what my problem might be. I was hoping a reinstall would help, but google play doesnt give me the option to uninstall at all. It is installed as a system app. I also cannot seem to uninstall the app even with rooted app managers... any ideas?

Edit: Never mind, I read over at the thread for FlashFire that everyone is having a similar problem. It has to do with an expiration date on the beta test i think. Apparently if you set the date back you can get it to work, but I already messed up the app pretty bad by tying to remove it manually...

question

I hAve read instructions for installing alliance 7.1. I just have a couple of questions. I have a verizon samsung galaxy s5 retail running alliance build 2 4.4.2 , ne9 firmware with kernel 3.4. I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Here's what I plan on doing according to install instructions. Open safestrap, wipe, install rom 7.1, boot into download mode and flash 008 retail kernel only. The thing I'm not sure about is whether I need to flash 0A8 retail firmware also or not. If someone with a little more knowledge than me could let me know I would very much a appreciate it. Thanks and shout out to goldie for alliance, really great work.

Correct
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I've re-installed this ROM about 5 times. I still do not see ant themes when choosing view/download.

Go to the settings in the Alliance Control app.......And please....STOP reading the OP of this ROM. It is incredibly outdated and seems as though it will NEVER be updated.

Okay much appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I'm hoping someone can help my figure out an issue I'm having with 8.1. Let me break down what I have:

Firmware: OC4

Kernel: OC4

ROM: Alliance 8.1 Flashed with Flashfire

Now for my issue...

After installing the Rom, I went through the setup as usual with no issues. Everything phone related is working perfect. It's smooth, lightning fast and very responsive. Once I re-downloaded all my apps I did the following:

1 - Recalled my NOVA backup to place my icons

2 - Applied the Harley Quinn theme from Alliance Theme manager

3 - Started tweaking theme settings.

I've got everything theme related just the way I'd like, however some text colors stay black and will not change (no matter which theme I use)

Take a look at the following screenshots. I am unable to view the text below the icons and the text of the name of the person messaging me. (These are the only two areas I know of as now that are black)

With that being said, I DO NOT have any text colors set to black.

keep in mind my linked color is RED. Below are my settings for text colors. Can someone help figure out why these ones are black?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
If you've gone through all the settings in the Alliance Control app for color-theme stuff and could not fix your issue......Then you are out of luck. You'll likely need to just use a different base theme or no theme at all and customize each setting manually (in Alliance Control) yourself. In general, I've noticed there are many minor color tweaking issues which the Alliance Control app just plain can't address. The base of this ROM is a port after all.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DreFigs:
DL'ed successfully, thumbed around...looks very nice. Thank you. -- might be missing something here, but how do I get back into safestrap? If I want to return to my former ROM or flash a zip --- trying to flash an update zip of my apps and can't find the file using Flashfire.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
If you can't find the file to flash with FlashFire, I don't think Safestrap will help you.... But to get into safestrap, flash NK2 Kernel in ODIN

GPS

So I have been having GPS issues, and I am somewhat familiar with the process to fix this, however I need a few things clarified to ensure I dont really screw something up.

So basically, I need to flash the NK2 Kernel to be able to get back to safestrap. I should just be able to put my phone in download mode myself correct (using button combo on startup or similar) and then flash the Kernel correct? And then safestrap should automatically be loaded (since it was installed before)? From there I plan to do a backup of my stock rom (running the alliance rom 8.1 linked earlier) and then install the stock OC4 lollipop rom and boot into it (Do I have to flash anything else like the OC4 kernel again?). Then get a GPS lock, ensure my data is working, ect., then will I have to re-flash the NK2 Kernel to get back into safestrap, install the rom again, and then re-flash the OC4 Kernel?

Thanks for the help, I just wanted to clarify some stuff :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
This is correct. I followed these exact steps when the problem was first reported.

When flashing to the stock Rom, you definitely need to be on the lollipop kernel, but depending on how/what you flash, it could be included. Might be safest to flash OC4 anyway.

I searched the thread and couldn't find anything about the OTA update for v8.0. Is that okay to take? Does anyone know if it will work? I know this app is ported, so I don't know if that's for the original rom and may or may not work with this ported one.

Would there be a way to install it or pull it from the stock version to add? Love this rom as well but also would like these features.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
I would never install any OTA-type updates for ROMs. Remember, this ROM is a port. It is not originally designed for Verizon S5 phones. My general practice is to always install any ROMs/Updates manually. Just stay informed on the forum thread for whatever ROM you use and you'll be fine.

Unless you have some decent knowledge about making ROMs and porting features over from other ROMs....I'd say no. That stuff is time consuming and pretty involved.

Alright, I'm not sure if this is an issue with the ROM or simply a setting that I am overlooking.

Recently I purchased a Pocket Juice (of course I got black) from Walmart for only $7.99

It's a 2200 mah battery you charge for emergencies, like when power goes out or when you are camping and have no juice. I've tested it with GSAM battery monitor and it does charge my phone at 1200 mah (which is not bad at all)

However, with my phone it stops charging when my screen turns off (locked). I've tested it on my GF's phone as well as a few co-workers phones and it works fine even when the screen is locked. So I'm wondering if there is a setting I have turned ON/OFF or if maybe its this ROM?

Anyone have suggestions?

I don't know much about this stuff but figured it was worth asking. I know we now have xposed working and there is a "true silent mode" module to bring it back but it doesn't work on Verizon touchwiz ROMs.

Just flashed back to kitkat because I can't stand the sound modes in lollipop

New International ROM patch?

Hey, I was wondering if, since you have done the work to port this, if you were planning on rebasing your international ROM patch also. That would be sweet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The patch posted will still work. The only thing is during a call your signal bars won't work. This requires framework.jar edits and 2 many roms edit the framework.jar so replacing it with one I patched would cause loss of Rom functions
