[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] UnshiftedStorm:
If we already have Alliance Rom (Verizon Official), would we have to wipe and all?:p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] caveritt:
I did not and everything is working fine, but don't be careful bringing up issues until after you do a clean install.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
does car mode do anything?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snafufx:
Excellent rom!! The features lasts for days and everything has been working flawlessly. I was hesitant installing this since I had to switch firmware but it was worth it. Battery life is great for me. Thanks again for porting this over, definitely one of the best I've used. I can't figure out which background in settings to change the white on white look, any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
Im on Beans' last version of Alliance for NE9 (Base Version: AllianceROM_G900VVRU1AU1ANE9).... whats the difference between this and that one? just more themes?

The crack flasher in me wants to flash this anyway, but what would be different if i did? any major changes/differences?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
What brando5055 may also need to do is to go to RootJunky's website and watch his videos before he bricks his phone....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brando5055:
I had read up some, but i was confused because of the screen that SAID odin on my phone versus plugging it in. I've never had to do it this way before so it was a change for me. The last one was all straight from SD card to phone through safestrap, i appreciate your advice though sincerely i do dude.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Also, while i suspect that was meant condescendingly/as a jab... i dont mind i'm currently just trying to make things work and the rootjunky (i'd watched him before rooting my gs4 and forgotten in the two years since then) tip was helpful so thank you. i'll give you a thanks for that as well mate
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brando5055:
So, i'm officially at an impass i suppose. I did take Al50's suggestion and went to rootjunkys site.. watched every video he had on the GS5. Followed his steps to a T ... and bricked my phone. Then spent the next two or so hours unbricking it. (thankfully paranoid me made a backup of my phone just before i started tinkering with it today. That being said, i do now know how odin works (it's what allowed me to get my phone back to running). My question is simply this, i tried doing the exact steps in the instructions, phone plugged in loading odin, flashing the stock_kernel_for_safestrap as an md5, nothing happened never got past the black samsung screen, then tried doing all three that one then the firmware only.. and then the safestrap then kernel only.. none of them worked, all just froze at the samsung black screen... am i missing something here? Odin worked, it said everything went right but the phone never booted, so for now i'm rebooting my phone on the old alliancerom just so i have at least a functioning phone but i'm trying to figure out what the hell i did incorrect. If i'm just out of my depth (even after following steps n such) any info would be good info really, Thanks.

Another fast and smooth rom ported by [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] your amazing man. No problems with installation here just smooth sailing!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Broadley1:
Can any one tell me how to change the text color in my popups? Any time I get a txt or a message the box that pops up is unreadable cuz the txt color is the same as the popup box.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] brando5055:
Mate, if you use handcent sms it's the easiest way to do it. instead of an OS level alteration it's an app level one.. makes it a bit simpler to change how things goes as well as fonts. that's what i'd recommend if you want it on the OS though i'll try to find it for you just let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jhr5474:
Samsung Tools and APNs on almost all roms in this forum

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] In one of your other forums I believe you told me to search the galaxy tools app to change my APNs so I could change the apns on the s5. I have the tool burt I have found no way to get past the greyed out part where it does not let you enter Apns. This is in mobile networks under apns where there is a + sign it is greyed out. The Galaxy Tools app you mentioned only gets you to apn settings and they are not modifiable. Any ideas? I am having same data issues with this rom due to needing to manually enter straight talk apns.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Use galaxy tools and change the sales code to LRA Then reboot then use galaxy tools and open APNs and you should now be able to edit them
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
Getting ready to flash this coming from 9/12/14 KitKat version of Alliance. Is it okay to flash Stock Verizon 5.0 BOG5 Based Lollipop Rom first and then flash this over it? Is this compatible with OG5 or am I better off waiting?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
I just flashed OG5 firmware and its running fine. As posted above though, when you flash the stock og5, make sure you get GPS and sensor stuff first, then flash Alliance V9
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
Did you wipe before upgrading the firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
Nope, I was on oe1 and just flashed og5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
Thanks for the quick replies! I'll give it a shot in the morning.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
One last question. Will flashing OG5 firmware with this rom trigger knox?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
It shouldn't, but don't quote me on that. When you launch supersu after your first root it should ask to disable Knox
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Is it safe to say this ROM will no longer be supported / Updated?

I see some new firmware ROM's available but non with anything close to the amount of customization a this one.

Since Stage fright is lurking I'd like something a little more up to date. Just wondering.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
I give bad information
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
heleos, where did you find the OG5 firmware to flash on this Alliance Rom? i'm currently running Moar for the S5 and would like to update it with the OG5 to correct the Stagefright delima. thank you in advance, A

Could you send me the link to the flashable OG5? Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Ummm....I really don't think it works that way buddy. StageFright is a ROM-related issue and therefore takes a ROM update to fix. Upgrading your Kernal or Modem will not fix StageFright vulnerability. Go ahead and check those StageFright Checker apps for verification. I'm like 80% sure.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
You are correct! Used the app to check and I am still vulnerable. I thought the fix came from the kernel side.

Although, if you just disable auto retrieval of mms and don't open them from unknown sources, aren't you safe from stagefright?

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I got the firmware from jrkruse's android file host (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=29235).

If you find one somewhere else, make sure it doesn't have the bog5 bootloader, because it won't let you downgrade back to kk.

Although, as stupifier mentioned above, this won't fix stagefright woes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
I believe so... But I keep hearing and reading about new Stafefright exploits all the time.... So disabling MMS auto retrieve may STILL only be a partial fix.

Honestly, I think there will likely be yet ANOTHER Verizon patch coming our way. I sincerely hope this ROM does get updated to fix these large issues though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
So to install V9 i need to go back to NCG root using towelroot, install busybox, install superSU, install safestrap, flash V9, boot to download mode and odin BOG5_Firmware.zip?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Tell us where you are starting from (ROM, Baseband, Kernal, etc)...that helps. But overall, those steps look perfect if you are coming from Non-Root standard. There might be a shortcut for you if you are already rooted though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
Coming from Alliance 7.1 on Verizon, Baseband BOA8 Kernel Version 3.4.0, BUILD BOB7, I have root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
In that case, lets make it simpler. Verify you have SafeStrap app installed along with the recovery (Install/Open the SafeStrap app and check to install SafeStrap recovery). Once that is done, you can use this (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-safestrap-access-odin-t3126686) to get into SafeStrap super easy and do whatever you need to do. Just make sure whatever kernal/firmware you flash says it is SafeStrap compatible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
I do not have safestrap, installed the apk, state installed, but it doesn't reboot to recovery. Would my way still work I am more familiar with that method

O I see. So the NI2Flasher.apk gets you into safe strap, flash new version of rom, then flash safestrap safe kernel for this new version which is BOG5? well what's listened on that page is just OG5 so that one?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Yes, you are correct. OG5 is what you want. Glad you sorted it out and read carefully the link I provided. It is a shortcut to get into SafeStrap. No computer needed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
Best shortcut ever you saved me tons of time. Thank you

Also thanks to everyone else who work so hard on developing and testing this great rom!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
gps

Guessing I needed to get the GPS to lock before I flashed the rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
That is a known issue with pretty much all Lollipop Samsung flashing. Be sure to have GPS enabled and get a lock on previous ROM before flashing a new ROM. There is a SMALL chance you lose GPS on your new ROM if you don't do this. If it happens, you have to go back and do it over again :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SightSeeker:
Which og5 kernel do I get from the link? Stock safestrap flash able?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
If you plan to flash it via safestrap then yes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
My baseband is on NCG. It is supposed to be OG5 right? I used the safestrap OG5 flashable zip doesn't seem to do anything. Should I just Odin an OG5 firmware?

Also I had a lock on stock, used maps to navigate somewhere, then when I flashed the rom it doesn't have the GPS lock anymore just sits there searching for gps. Does it just lock sometimes and not others?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
NCG is not a Lollipop Baseband....fix that issue first before addressing anything else. Fix it however it works for you (Odin or SS). After that check over everything. The fix for GPS lock is correct....if it didn't work for you, all you can do is try again....nobody knows of any better solution.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
Alright I'll try that thanks for the help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
After reading up I'm seeing that once you are on OG5 you can't just odin back to NCG to redo root is this correct?

I have tried to flash the flashable OG5 Kernel via safestrap but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know of a link to get the odin verision of OG5? I only ask because I want to make sure I have the right OG5 where if things gets messed up I could still odin back to NCG to start over again.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=29235

BOG5_Firmware.zip. That doesn't safe its safestrap flashable and I haven't seen one you can odin. When I unzip it there is not an odin useable file.

If the Build Number is BOE6 does that mean I need to be on a baseband of BOE6?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
That bog5 file is safe to flash because it's on jrkruse's android file host. He replaced the bootloader with an older one that still allows downgrading via Odin. Since that file is a .zip and not an md5 file, I would assume it's flashable via safestrap/flashfire
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wkbrdr403:
Everything worked Baseband is now BOG5

Thank you so much everything is up and running smoothly!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Maphack:
Just to make doubly sure... I'm running v9 with the OD5 bootloader and CSC, OE1 baseband and OE6 PDA version.

Flashing the BOG5 zip through flashfire won't mess up my root or my ability to downgrade using Odin or the app that will downgrade my kernel so I can use safestrap (the name is escaping me right now)?

Thanks for your help.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
As long as you use Jrkruse's bog5 firmware (or bigbot's I think), you will be able downgrade via Odin.

You want to look for firmwares that include an older bootloader (I think od5)

No. Thanks. I was responding to evilryry's talk about going to the verizon forums. I will down this rom and give it a try.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Misread what forum this was on in my participated list. I had told someone who asked in the actual international thread recently to come here. This version will work on Verizon s5 yes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Hey I downloaded this rom and installed it. Everything looks good. After I installed it, I got an update download. I noticed that the download said allianceRom v8.0-G900F.zip. My phone is the G900V, should I install this? What is the latest version of this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
This is the latest version

ALLIANCE_ROM_VZW_V9.zip

It will also install some mods to alliance zip folder on your internal storage you can choose what you want as far as mods since we cant use aroma installer. Just flash what you want
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
So I can install this over the current version as an update with problem, or did I need to do something special?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
Do not take OTA's from inside the rom, they are not for the Verizon version
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Its a new base I would do a full wipe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
So I will lose all my apps again, right?

Don't mean to be 'that guy' but do you think you will port any further versions of this ROM? Seems like this version has been out for a while.

I do not understand English could someone explain which is better between

Phoenix 9.6 ported for the G900V-All in one zip

vs

ALLIANCE_ROM_VZW_V9
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
It’s not a matter of which is a better ROM, but which one you like better. There is not really a best ROM. People like different things which make it better for them. Try both and see which one works best for you.

jrkruse

Hey. I'm using BBS to look at my battery use. When I'm at work I leave my WIFI on all day, I check BBS off and on thru the day. Can you tell me why I show NO DATA CONNECTION and NO OR UNKNOWN SIGNAL around 93% when WIFI is at 100%? It's like when wifi is on my phone is always looking for a signal. I do still get all texts, calls and email updates. So I don't know if it is real or not.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Can anyone tell me where to get all the themes from? internet download. I changed my sd card and lost the folder where the themes were. I would like to look at them before downloading. Also, how do you put an image in the notifications background instead of just a color.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Can anyone tell me if this Rom/kernel will read/run a 64gb SD card? Samsung galaxy s5, alliance rom vzw v9.0.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Uhh...I don't think ROMs decide what SD card you can run.....That is a hardware thing. In any regard, Yes you should be fine. I'm actually using a 128 gb SD card with this ROM. No issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Yeah. I had just read somewhere that the kernel would need to able to read anything over 16gb, just thought I would ask. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
I think there MIGHT be issues if you go beyond 128gb card though.......but I have no proof to back that statement up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yota14:
Voicemail

Is there any voicemaik apo that works with this rom? Loving the rom but really getting aggravated with getting a txt every time I get a voicemail. Like it's a notification mag from verizon...barely gives any info about the voicemail either.

I've tried other apps....Google voice etc and nothing works.....says carer not supported and won't load my mailbox in app. I get a txt every time I delete a voicemail when calling in too. Is there at least a way to turn this weird notification off if no apps like visual voicemail will work? I miss my visual voicemail before this rom.......Other than that love rom so far !!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MosesTheTool:
if i am on BOG5??

Hi, i couldn't find this anywhere in here.

If i am already on original BOG5, can i just flash the NI2 kernel to use safestrap and install this rom?, or will it brick my device?

I've read there is no going back from BOG5, can someone please clarify the steps with BOG5 firmware installed ?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
I’m not completely sure, but I just flashed alliance with NI2 into saftstrap. Then reflashed my BOG5 with no problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Can anyone tell me which Xposed framework is working with v9.0? I seem to be having a problem flashing xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon. This version my not be the right xposed for this rom, i was using it on MOAR rom and worked fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Update: I did get xposed to work. I'm now having problems with Allinace manager, can't change themes, can't change wallpaper. etc....

Update: everything is working now. Reinstalled.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Can anyone tell me why when I change the background for apps "settings" for example , it does not change the backgrounds? Anybody?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This has been mentioned hundreds of times in this thread. In Fact.... the answer is in the OP

But to save you time, since you probably wont go back and read, here is your answer:

In Data/System/Users/0 you will need to delete the file "wallpaper"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Ok, For your really smart answer..... I have read the OP, and for your information I have deleted the "wallpaper file" any other smart remarks?????

Thank you and have a nice day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Have you tried rebooting since deleting the wallpaper file? Maybe do a clear cache in SS. Worst comes to worst, do a clean install. I loved this ROM, but I started having issues like you are and switched.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] LiquidT:
Yes. I have done the reboot, clear cache, and clean install. By doing all of that is how I got my xposed to work. I have been able to get a wallpaper to now show up as the settings background, but it has a color over the top. I have tried and played around with the color/transparent settings, but doesn't really seem to work for any other apps. I have to reboot the phone for the setting to take full effect. Not sure what is going on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I honestly couldn't tell you. Alliance ROM is heavily baked with customization. Thus not really needing Xposed. What is it you need xposed for? theming? Extra app settings? (like saving snapchats, battery mods, etc)?

From the sounds of it, you have an xposed module conflicting with the baked in ROM settings. OR you have a linked color in the theme manager that shouldn't be? I have no idea.

Few options....

- Start all over without xposed and see if the issue is still present. then install xposed and see what happens.

-Ditch Alliance and install one of the [MENTION=1168000]jkru[/MENTION]se Stock ROMs and use a Dark it up theme.

-Try Freedom ROM, switch to the nexus system UI and give the layers app a shot...
