[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If your already on Lollipop BOA8 Firmware then there are instructions in the OP. If your still on Kit Kat then flash rom in safe strap then reboot to download mode from safestrap then flash BOA8 firmware using odin. The links to firmware and kernels are in the OP

I don't know if you saw jkruse but I can't connect to verizon network after flash
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Open up Galaxy tools and click on APN and make sure the VZW APN is checked then goto settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/toggle LTE/CDMA then reboot. If this doesnt work you might have to flash stock BOA8 rom first and get data connection then flash this rom since you are coming from kitkat

Was wondering how this is running compared to Moar?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
This is just my opinion and experience of both, take it with a grain of salt. Moar vs Alliance, As far as performance and customization, Alliance has the edge. I've used both roms even with ktoonsez, both roms battery is sub-par compared to other roms, with Alliance being the lowest of the two for me. Seemingly sacrifices a little battery for all the mods. I've even heavily debloated and on a balanced kernel profile I still only get about 5.5 hrs screen on time a charge so far. But if you're looking for the best performing and battery life rom, this rom probably wouldn't be for you. But if you want a good performing rom with alot of flare and customization, and are ok with decent at best battery, you would like this rom alot. I'm really liking it and I plan to use it for a while.

Alliance is more customizable (I love how I have my ui setup) and overall I'd take it over moar. Moar is still a good rom though. Just if you have to choose one or the other, personally I'd pick Alliance. But to be fair, try both, if you don't it's like trying to pick between 2 similar cars without driving them. Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Just remember that MOAR is made for Sprint And Verizon Phones and Alliance is made for the International S5 so some things are not going to work with Alliance like VVM and VOLTE. That being said evilryry is right just try them both and see for yourself. Its good to have some choices thats why I and the other great devs try to provide some for us. Flash Away!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] donbudafuko:
I agree as well on trying them both...Just wanted to see what other ppl say...I have used moar for awhile now just switched to jrkruse rim cus I like debloated roms cus for some reason after a little while I can't install apps anymore cus I'm out of space lol...On the other hand I like customization..so in a way I like a balance of both...after I mess around with this rim ill probably switch (I will switch lol flash ahalic here lol) thanks to everyone for bring some great roms to this phones so we have aomething as I know it's hard to do with a locked bootloader (damn verizon)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Hey guys.. need a little help.

(And I know this isnt a rom related issue.. just reaching out here)

From MOAR, booted to download, flashed NI2 booted to safestrap, did a complete wipe of everything (clearing out internal junk) and rebooted into recovery (accidentaly... had meant to reboot to system to get back into a clean safestrap/TWRP). anyway, in doing so, i seem to have broken something. When booting, phone stays on Samsung Galaxy S5 screen never gets to the safestrap selection screen....

what did i do/ how do i undo it/fix it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] 22jk:
Just Odin back to stock
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Ill post a full tut in case this hapens to someone else... it seems that in wiping (i assume) internal memory, you lose safestrap... you need to reflash NCG full

(here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900vvru1boa8-5-0-t3020546) and essentially follow the rest of the instructions.

OP, feel free to remove both of my posts, as I will create a tut and post it appropriately.

All you have to do is reinstall the safestrap apk as long as you have a rom with root. then flash the kit kat kernel and you will boot to safestrap

Oh I see what your saying you wiped and then the rom you were going to install was gone so you were screwed!

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Did you guys just come from a kitkat rom? If so you might have to flash a stock verizon BOA8 rom first get everything working like data and gps then wipe and flash this rom. If this isnt the case then open galaxy tools click on testing/phone Info then click device info scroll down to set perferred network type and gange it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) if its already that change to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) reboot

then goto galaxy tools to APNS and make sure Verizon Internet is checked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] RBThompsonV:
Yeah, this is what I had to do... i know jk says just to reflash safestrap.. but there wasnt an ability to boot into a rom or safestrap with which to FLASH safestrap (I may have deleted/edited that part out once i figured out what was going on...)

it's just weird that the full tars on everything would fail except NCG

Yes.

Ok Guys,

I've been out of the game for a few months and have been reading through this thread because I want to get up to date. I was hoping to install this ROM, but after some of the posts in the last couple pages, I want to make sure i do it right. I have a SM-G900V and am currently on the last official Alliance release from Beans (build 2 from 9/12/14). My android version is 4.4.2 and baseband is NE9. I was planning to do the following

1) boot into SS and B-Up everything

2) Do a full wipe

3) flash the this ROM

4) boot into DL Mode and flash the BOA8 full firmware via Odin.

5) reboot and profit

Are these the correct steps? or do i need to flash stock rooted 5.0 first?

I understand that after this, whenever i want to flash something, I will have to:

1) boot into DL Mode and use Odin to flash the NI2 kernel

2) boot into SS and do whatever flashing I'd like

3) boot into DL Mode and use Odin to flash back to the BOA8 kernel (or full firmware)

Is this correct?

Finally, I'm on a new computer at work and don't have Odin installed. Last time i was doing this, there were some recommended new versions of Odin. Can someone point me to a DL of the version of Odin they recommend?

Thanks Guys!

Are you talking the alliance theme or the launcher theme. If alliance goto storage and delete alliance folder reboot then goto alliance control and reopen alliance manager so it will recreate folder. Then theme should flash properly. If launcher theme goto settings and applications and clear data on touchwiz home launcher

Im going to say wipe data system and cache reflash rom (dont restore a backup start fresh) flash only the BOA8 kernel instead of the full firmware. One more question you are using verizon right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] hancawk:
Help

So I'm originally running moar v 6.0 I boot to safestrap and wipe system, data, cache, and delvik cache. Then I flash alliance rom.zip. Then using Odin, I flashed the stock BOA8 kernel and end up in a boot loop. I'm on my vzw 900v device android 5.0
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chowlz:
I was about to do the same thing, but I wanted to know if those are the right steps. I'm also on a SlymHyde custom rom based off of NE9. When we're wiping, we should do Factory Wipe + System before flashing and then odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
It seems some are having problems installing. Im going to suggest this.

If you are coming from a kitkat rom I suggest first flashing the stock BOA8 rom. then BOA8 firmware then setup rom and get everything working like make sure to open location and set to high accuracy and open maps and get a gps lock. Make a phone call , text etc. The reboot to recovery by using odin by flashing NI2 kernel. Flash Alliance rom then reboot from safestrap to download mode and use odin and flash the BOA8 kernel only this time. Then remember this takes a long time to boot 10 to 15 min. If it takes longer try a battery pull and reboot and try again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
they are correct steps.. wipe is normal wipe you do prior to any clean install and odin just use the latest version (i think its 3.09 is what i use)

I tried to T.B. my bluetooth settings and the reboot, the notification from Samsung came up I accidently hit ok to send user statistics and then lost / dropped my connection...

so kind of ticked because now I dont know if it was the restore of BT devices or the Samsung user statistics annoyance that caused this...

How can I am reflashing fresh ATM.

I fully feel like this has to do with the SAMSUNG thing... :cowboy:

Should I flash this even if not experiencing any problems?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Are all the customizable themes and options in this ROM supported for the Verizon gs5? Saw it was ported so not 100% if everything was supported. BTW how does this compare to say, MOAR? Looks pretty appetizing!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Ya...I'm kinda curious what exactly works and doesn't work in regards to this Port over ROM.....Cuz all the features sound so freaking awesome.....but I have no idea if they actually work. Guess I could just try it out myself but I'm lazy :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
This does not support VOLTE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
So, I tried the steps I originally posted above, but when i got into the ROM I had no service. I tried altering the wireless connections (CDMA vs GSM stuff), but for some reason the VZW apn was always grayed out and I was not able to select it. I restarted several times during the process. I also tried flashing the "Alliance_Update_Fix_v1.zip" posted by jrkruse and repeated the steps above, but had no luck.

After trying for a while, I decided to try flashing a stock BOA8 ROM as was suggested. I was actually able to get both of these to work:

but whenever I try to go back and flash this version of Alliance, I still get the same problem of having no signal (on Verizon). I am on the vzwstock-based-tw-rom by jrkruse now and everything seems to be working (GPS, 4G data, MMS, WiFi). I would really like to be on Alliance tho! Any more ideas out there?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jucytec:
it asked again after a reboot... and me not reading carefully clicked YES. and since i did i lost data again.

I'm going back to MOAR until these small issues are addressed. I've also seen oddities with screen layouts and notification toggles not lining up.

Love the rom. The signal isn't a problem. But the gps is. It gets a fast fix but can't track while moving . Any suggestions ? By the way, for me the battery life is the best of any s5 rom I've tried by far.

No we just didnt realize it either. Most people never check those boxes me being one so thats why I didnt catch it right away

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Yea, I was responding to a question about what doesn't work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The only way to get gps working is to install a stock BOA8 rom goto locations and set to high accuracy and the open maps get a gps lock then you can goback to safestrap do a full wipe and install rom and gps will work. I dont know why some people have to do this but Im one of them so I know the procedure works. Just in the future before installing international roms make sure you have a gps working on the rom your on before you install new rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
I was on your stock deodexed rom since it came out and used the gps quite a bit but the gps on this rom doesn't track but does locate my position. Have you successfully used gps with this rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Yes I have used navigation and it worked fine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rnh:
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I'll go back to your deodexed stock rom; do as you said and reinstall this and try again.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Hey bro that is actually a common practice for those of us that came from the s4. At least when I was on Sprint. Some of us would keep a Stock Rom nandroid that worked on our phones. So on a new flash we would restore that backup, get a lock then reboot right to recovery and flash the new Rom. Granted it's more difficult now with safestrap/lolipop so your directions are a great help!

HI ALl,

Thanks to the devs for making this an awesome rom.

Question, I have really enjoyed changing the themes , but now I cannot change themes, is there an easy fix??

I think all you need to do is delete alliance folder on internal storage then reopen alliance control and set theme it should work then
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KjK89:
I am having the same problem with GPS, but I came from a stock BOA8 ROM and thought I had tried navigation on there. I've been on this for a few days now, so I already have things set up the way I'd like. Is there any way to try this fix again without wiping everything? Maybe by doing a nandroid, flashing a stock ROM and testing GPS, and then restoring the nandroid?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Or you could just Titanium Backup everything you got....then do all the wipe reflashes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Metroba:
It appears the only way to get this to work (for me), was to uncheck diagnostics and skip the google sign in process. Just unchecking diagnostics wouldn't work. I signed in from settings. Sucks I have to go manually download apps but a small price to pay. I have done this 4 times now and at this point, I have data. Fingers crossed. Gorgeous rom. Really love the customization.

Edit: Is there a way to hide the blocking mode notification/icon from statusbar? Also, not sure what setting I changed but brightness slider is gone. It's happened all four times I have set up Alliance settings. If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
