Well it doesn't work for me. I been see here two guys say it doesn't work for them either. So your not only one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
I think I'm one of the two. I never did get WiFi hotspot to work. I need it for work, so I had to flash back to the Beans version of Alliance. I was also having problems with group messaging on this version. I was receiving all group messages as separate texts. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this tho, or maybe has a solution?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] supercell2000:
I haven't upgraded to this rom yet, but no hotspot is a deal breaker for me. I'm sticking with the older Alliance until hotspot is working.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Until someone gets a log of hotspot instead of just saying it's "not working" then it's impossible to do anything seeing as I don't have the device....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Yeah i jumped on beans a couple days ago also because of the hotspot issue lol. Got a wifi Galaxy tab 4 for Christmas and the hotspot comes in handy if i take the tab out of the house. I have unlimited data and im not shy about using it lol. Hopefully Goldie will find a fix so i can go back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
Hey Goldie! Sorry, I should have got you a log before I switched over! I was running out of SD space, so I got rid of my second slot all together. Is anyone else able to try the WiFi hotspot and get a log of it not working for Goldie??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
I believe you gotta swap out some stuff from VZW ne9 to get hotspot working, it does that on all sprint roms. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] provided us with a patcher to use their roms, everything else works, but hotspot does not work on any of their roms using the stock built in one without swapping VZW hotspot files. 3rd party works tho.

what languages does this rom support?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Goldie:
Thanks but I'm pretty sure I included all jrkuse files
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Sorry I didn't know if you did or not, was just trying to be helpful. With his patch hot spot didn't work on any sprint rom. Was just trying to give you some ideas I wasn't aware you used his help.

Thanks so much for bringing this goodness to our phones. Silky smooth. We appreciate all that you have done. Black glass and all the Alliance themes have taken my phone to a new level. Thanks again, Sensei!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zooandbio4me:
Wifi Hotspot works for me.. doesn't pull up in the notifications but does work via toggle... Dev edition with KT kernel...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
You sure about that? Were you actually able to get something to connect to it? It shows it available on another device but it couldn't connect for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
^^^ I didn't think so lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
forgive me if its been answered but what firmware do we use? i assume ne9 firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Savagerun:
Yes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
it seems to be running fine on ni2 kernel/modem ;) saved me the hassle lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Yes it does. I ran mine that way for a week or more before getting around to changing it. I don't think I saw any difference either way.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Wait...WHAT!? This ROM apparently runs fine on NI2? Does that imply we can have VoLTE with this ROM too? Really?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
NI2 firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
No VoLTE there's a difference in ni2 firmware and software... You need 4.4.4 for VoLTE still.

Thanks, [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION], for this amazing rom! It's working great for me. The only problem I'm having so far is trying to decide which customizations I like best. :laugh:

One quick question though, is there anyway to adjust the grid size on the home screens from within this rom? I've dug through the settings menu for quite a while without any luck. Or can someone suggest the best way to get 5x4 layout going on the home screen? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yu42hit:
I ran into a problem with system ui whenever I rotate into landscape mode. It keeps crashing, and this has been a problem in bean's rom as well
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bcrawford:
Thanks for the awesome rom! Any update on getting the lock screen options to work with the alliance theme? I noticed this behavior as well. It works just fine on stock or glass, but doesn't work with alliance.

Also, with the alliance theme, the text for the allianceROM settings in the menu doesn't appear, just the icon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] o-o:
Has a fix for the hotspot been found yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hezzennater:
Hey guys, does anyone else have these issues?

I finally flashed this coming from beanstown. I've read through this thread twice. Once before installing, once after. I have a few questions about this. I've spent two days trying to fix things and heres the list of what I can't figure out on my own or Google.

1. S health. I know some claim it's gimmicky, but I like the pedometer and heart rate monitor. I never found the app, and restoring the app and health services with TB didn't work. I have s voice and memo, all I assume (and vaguely recall) checking the Samsung bloat option in Rom customizer.

2. Multi window mode. On beanstown, I recalled finding an app to add more apps to multi window mode. I haven't found anything even thinking outside the box.

3. Send report. I've never seen this on stock or beanstown alliance. See the screenshot. Upon googling it and looking around it looks like Samsung is spying on me to improve their security. Under settings> security I unchecked send reports. I froze some stuff in TB too. Nothing worked, I'm assuming there's something I can freeze, I just don't know what.

Minor stuff:

4. Is xposed on here like beanstown? I like the share menu customizer. I didn't know if maybe this came with that functionality or if I can install Xposed myself.

5. My Wi-Fi passwords didn't come when I synced with Google. I tried resetting some data/cache to no avail. I wondered if it was because I (was prompted to) put my Wi-Fi password in before I synced with Google on initial setup.

6. My screen doesn't dim quite as much as on beanstown. Seems weird, but late at night I turn it all the way down manually (I take off auto). I wondered if that could be a future mod? Exaggerate the slider.

7. I hate the text on a launcher (it's tacky), but I'm giving touchwiz a chance. Did you know that alpha doesn't work on the touchwiz text? You can customize the color but changing the alpha doesn't do anything.

8. [Edit] I almost forgot, the clock centered position! This was the same problem in both alliance Roms: if I choose to center the clock, after some time (this Rom took two days, the other was a few hours, it seems to get faster and faster) a second clock will appear on the right side. So I have two clocks, and the center one is usually overlapping the volume icon because of it. No big deal, I can leave it on the right, but it's a consistent bug.

9. [More Edit] yeah, I forgot. This is getting long, but OTA updates don't work. It explicitly says this Rom is not compatible. Just thought it should be stated somewhere.

I can post screenshots, just ask.

Thanks for your time!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hezzennater:
Just noticed there's no setting to turn off shutter sounds in the default camera. Very disappointing. I wish I could save all my mods and go back to beanstown but I put so much time into customizing this one.

There's very little in this thread about what you'll lose switching from beanstown. Just want to help people make an informed decision.

[Edit] I saw that this Rom should have the "shutter sound menu" so I looked around some more to double check and don't see anything.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jal3223:
Why don't you just install Xposed framework and then install Wanam Xposed? It has the sound options that you are looking for. Better to try that for the one option that you're missing rather than going through the trouble of switching roms for it I would think.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hezzennater:
I just got s health working using TB. I restored s health, health and safety, and health service. (From when I backed up all apps on factory Rom) Cleared the data from each one then restored galaxy apps, opened it, let it update, then updated s health, and it worked!

Well, since it didn't come with Xposed I didn't want to try and install it and break things. I thought the point of Roms was to not need Xposed, or at least incorporate the functionality. Not much info on this thread about what will work and what won't. I'll give it a try... I'm feeling risky. I'll report back if it breaks s health like it does on the default Rom.

Just use root explorer and delete the few camera sound files manually. I do it on every rom as one of the first steps. Takes 2 minutes...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hezzennater:
This Rom hijacks the headsup notification time. Even if I turn off the heads up notifications in the settings, then go to Wanam and turn it on, the alliance settings for the time the heads up notification is displayed is always in control, the Wanam settings do nothing. Unfortunately, the shortest I can get is roughly 5-10 secs in alliance. Wanam goes quicker than that (a half of second). Any ideas how to disable alliance's control over the time the heads up notifications are displayed so Wanam can control it?

Sent from my SgS5 VZW Alliance Rom

Ps:I tried another Xposed module called heads up notification and it didn't have control over the time either.

I was told you can use verizon roms on at&t roms
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PHiiLiZz:
I didn't know at&t can use this rom. Ok, when you flash it from ROM customizer app then reboot into normal recovery which is normal but just click reboot and SS will be there after you reboot it. You will see installing there in SS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] OG!:
......

That's the thing, I didn't do it from the customizer app. I did it from safestrap and I feel stupid for doing it. What I need desperate help on right now is how to get to my stock rom back up from normal boot loader. I desperately need help.

Okay I can access download mode, but my computer cannot recognize my phone. I also go in cmd and type "adb devices" and it finds nothing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbgakaadan:
I really like the rom so far. I've had my g5 since it first came out but with a locked bootloader the desire to flash wasn't there. But this was definitely worth it!

Now I have some solutions and questions.

First, if you want to use the Alliance ASOP but can't go into lockscreen settings to set a pin, just go to fingerprint in setting then screen lock.

As already mentioned freeze that update app to get rid of that activation .

Now some questions of my own. Is there any way to go back to the stock alliance theme? I was using kitkat but liked it more before.

last, I flashed this over my stock rom. And now I've lost all my stuff that was in private mode. Is there any way to get it back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pman219:
Love this ROM.

Is there a way to remove the lockscreen widgets ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
Settings > Alliance Rom > Lockscreen> Scroll till you get to widgets > toggle enable widgets to disabled

That should turn off the widgets. If its on disabled already and widgets are still showing on lockscreen toggle to enable and back to disabled. It should be good
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kjfan985:
I have the original alliance rom can I flash this over?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:

I read somewhere is about replacing certain files from the Verizon Rom. Maybe post the question in the q&a section to draw from a larger audience.

Visual Voicemail App

This Visual Voicemail App is from Sprint which makes me ask why it's included in this ROM that's ported to the Verizon Galaxy S5.

In the "Visual Voicemail Help" under "Troubleshooting" look in "Re-activating the Application" and the instructions lead you to send a message to: activate@vvm.sprint.com

I didn't try this but I'm pretty sure it's not going to work. I wish it did because I'm using this phone/ROM on PagePlus service which doesn't have a Visual Voicemail App.

Goldie, could you please clarify if you had a reason not to remove this app from the ROM? Thanks so much!
