free app alternative to titanium backup that restores apps +Data without prompts

Overall, i am satisfied with the process. I rooted my N900W8 and installed custom recovery TWRP. I flashed the alliance rom and it's working fine. I tried restoring apps+data from a titanium backup but it's prompting me every time i restore an app. This is very inconvenient. Are there any free apps that restore your apps+data to your newly flashed rom without prompts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fearbasel04:
Buy the app it's not going cost you a lot. It's one of the few I brought. It's a great program that's been around for years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrrobc97:
First... many thx to Sparx & the Alliance team for this ROM. I've been "gone" for a couple of years and I couldn't wait to get out to see what was available for the N900T. I gotta say that after running it for a month with a lot of tweaking-trial-and-error, I finally got it where I want it, performance and themed wise. Can't really complain about anything now. Most of the areas with black text on black backgrounds are very minimal now after setting the right background colors with the right text colors. The ones that can't be edited are the ones you get from using the black glass theme in which I just revert to the stock theme to view the info then revert back. A small price to pay, which I could deal with, in order to have it looking beautifully - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69703856&postcount=950 -. Again thx.

...one thing though...does anyone know of a dark/black/inverted version of the phone apk (or the Telecom.apk & TeleService.apk?) for this Rom or FOB6 based Rom? I know its only present during an actual phone call, but those bright tropical colors and bright white background clashes with the rest of my phone. I wished there would of been an option to theme that also :(.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] guruguido:
My apologies for the late reply but from what I remember using this ROM I'm pretty sure I didn't have to flash a custom kernel as users of model SM-N900W8 (Canadian) and SM-N900T (T-Mobile USA) have the least issues it seems, I've owned both so I know.

I still have my Note 3 (900W8) but I'm back to my Note 4 (910T3) at the moment as my daily.

+1 that's one program I wouldn't think twice to pay for, it's a fantasic app.

Just keep in mind when restoring your app (s), especially from a fresh clean wipe, it's actually is recommended to reinstalll from Google Play Store.

It has been known the cause headaches when restoring apps.

No issue with the program itself.

...come to find out that is the LegacyInCallUI.apk that is the one that has to be themed. I just installed a themed/transparent version on my daughter's S5 running MOAR lollipop ROM...needless to say it won't work on my N3.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] orion_134:
I'm running all OB6 on my N900t and this is not only the most stable ROM I've used, it is perfectly stable. However, I recently moved to the UK and need access to LTE Bands 3 and 20. Any idea if i could flash an unbranded UK CSC without any issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Should be cool, although I ran this in the UK without needing to...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] orion_134:
Wait, and you 100% got LTE on 3? Even going into the secret mode and forcing those bands, it simply refuses by not showing the asterisk that the forcing worked.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

That also is good news, as I REALLY didn't want to move away from this ROM to a 9005 ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
TBH, was awhile back but I believe LTE was all good. There is also an N9005 version of this rom too;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] orion_134:
I found it and see that it is based on the OG4 (or OB5, the DL links are confusing). So, my first recourse should be trying to change the CSC on the n900t load and see if it fixes it, the next would be to try your 9005 ROM. Is it as stable/awesome as this one? Because both FW's are based on LP, should I have no issue with an OG4/OB5 ROM on the OB6 baseband?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Except for wifi calling the roms are near on identical and equally awesome :D

You'll have zero issues flashing n9005 with your current modem/bootloader...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] orion_134:
So, regarding frequency range/band restrictions based on region requirements, will the 9005 include the appropriate CSC file/chooser needed to select the appropriate region in which the phone is located?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] orion_134:
Can I import an Alliance theme file saved from the N900T ROM into the N9005 ROM with no ill effects?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidusa:
Quick question. I have rooted my phone but curious as to if you must need a SD card to actually flash roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Ive been trying some roms on my tmo n3 without an sd card and it's working fine. Just remember any rom that uses Aroma will not work on TWRP past 2.8.x i beleive it is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidusa:
I didn't see anything about this rom using Aroma like HyperDrive. Am I mistaken?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
No aroma on this one...Ive been trying some of the Note 7 ports and they all use aroma too...also found this in op...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidusa:
Thats what had me confused and asking the question. Thank you. I'll be flashing it in the morning when my battery is actually charged.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
NP...its a great rom and the dev is outstanding...a lot of mods to go through especially color changes. I would read some of the thread if u run into any problems you can't figure out most of the answers are already in here. I dont have it flashed right now so i can't help you in real time but ill be back soon i miss wifi calling...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidusa:
So I have been running this rom for a few days now. Excellent build. A lot of customizations. Only thing more it could have is an LED color changer added in just for the heck of it lol.

I tweaked the carbon blue theme. It had the most done to it. But it took me 3 days to get most of the popups colored correct and legible. If you want my setup let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
That looks awesome... I'm still messing around with N7 ports. In a couple days im gonna update via odin to the newest LP firmware that recently came out them flash this. Glad it's working for you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] V@no:
Is there a way open camera from lock screen by double press home button? After remaping double press home button to open camera it works fine when phone is unlocked, but when locked, it does nothing (it seems the camera app starts in the background though.

I really love this feature on S7, where I can start camera from turned off screen by double press home button, bypassing lock screen.

Ad remover?

Hey [MENTION=4207059]sparx[/MENTION] ! What an excellent ROM -- thank you so much. I'll be donating shortly.

(Did everybody see that? DONATE to this guy!)

In the interim, please let me know how I can remove the banner ads.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ghostwheel:
Thank you for making this cool ROM. I just installed it, and it looks really nice. I have two questions. The first is more urgent.

1. I wanted to change my DPI, so I used the Alliance Control program, under "performace", edit build.prop. I changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 350. Now build.prop has only a single entry!!!!! Only ro.sf.lcd_density. The file build.prop.bak under /system also has only this entry. The file default.prop in root has only 16 entries. Where is my build.prop? Is there a way to restore it other than reflashing?

2. I need to change default DPI. I actually need it just for one program, WPS, which for some strange reason doesn't allow the pen unless it thinks the phone is a tablet. What is the best way to change DPI?

Thanks!!!

UPDATE: I copied the build.prop file from the original zip. That worked. Editing it, this time with a text editor worked, and now DPI is to WPS's liking. I think there is a bug in the build.prop editing, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Something broke somewhere :p

Grab build.prop from the system folder of ROM zip and put it back in system on device...maybe do your DPI edit first

Just saw your edit, glad you fixed it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Thanks man, appreciated!

Shouldn't be any banner ads in the ROM - or are you referring to the ott amount of XDA ads?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] whatllitbenext:
Hi again Sparx --

nope -- I'm referring to the annoying little ads (I call them banner ads, mebbe they're something else) that pop-up in apps (such as games) that flash and blink, etc.

Not sure how to get rid of 'em...

BTW -- did you see my donation? Thanks AGAIN!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
The best way to get rid of pretty much all ads is to use the newest version of Adaway. The safest way to get it is through F-Droid. That's kind of like another marketplace. I won't provide the links because I'm not aware if it breaks the rules, but it's really easy to get. Just Google "Fdroid" and get the app from their homepage. Once it's installed just search for Adaway and install it. Open the app and download and apply the blocking hosts and viola, the ads should be gone. If you have any problems just get with me. Hope this helps. :)

re: latest firmware

Hi there!

I'm so tempted to download this rom and give it a whirl. Before I do this, I upgraded to this build: n900tuvsfpl1. It's the latest and last lollipop build. Do I need to downgrade back to ob6 or will my present firmware build support this rom?

Thanks a million in advance. <fist bump>
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sparx:
Your current firmware should be ok :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sameog:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] whatllitbenext:
Hi again Sparx --

I downloaded your rom and was running it for a little while but then got lured away to MM 6.0.1.

I was trying CyanogenMod 13.0, build V4.6 from 2/24/2016 and Temasek's kernel 3.4.110-f2fs-temasek-cm13.0-hlte-v1.66, but your battery life was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better so I want to go back to your ROM (I really don't like MM at all!).

Can you please let me know what I need to do to return to your ROM from MM 6.0.1?

I'd be happy to donate to you -- again!

Thanks in advance so much!

SELinux status Enforcing

TWRP v2.8.5.0

Not sure about radio/modem/etc....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
I can go ahead and answer that one for Sparx. That is is you don't mind info from someone else. Haha :)

All you'll need to do is perform a full wipe (meaning System, cache, data) and do a clean install of Alliance. I personally usually format system and data but it's not required, just a full wipe from within TWRP will suffice. The formatting is just what we always do with DomPop ROM's. I know you can run any of the 5.0+ ROM's even on the newer FOL1 baseband without issues. Your modem will be fine as well since I'm sure you haven't changed it. It doesn't change by just flashing ROM's.

One last question: how do I change the font color of the app names? They're black and hard to see with a dark theme! I've tried different themes and they always come up black...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
It's been a while since I've run this ROM, but it seems like there's a setting you can change to fix that. Try going to Alliance control and make sure the Apex/TW text option is enabled. I believe that's where the setting is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] whatllitbenext:
Negative. Been playing with all the Alliance settings, too.

Anybody know how to change the font color of the app icon names?

I s'pose I could just go with a different launcher but I'm not interested in all the bloatware that comes with some of them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Wherever that setting is, that's what fixed font color issues for me when I played around with Alliance some.

Did you flash TWRP? I'm trying to help but all I did was Odin the stock fob6 and then TWRP. After that I flashed the ROM. The modem didn't stick so I pulled the battery, then booted straight into Odin mode and did it again. The second time everything stuck. Flashed this ROM and Good's to go

see i wasnt sure if i had to flash twrp before or after odin.... so ill try your method thanks for the reply

It should work. If it doesn't stuck afterwards pull the battery and boot straight into download mode and Odin again.

just to clarify :

Odin stock ROM - boot up and confirm fob6 modem stuck - Odin TWRP - flash ROM

If during the process the modem or TWRP don't stick pull battery, power straight into download mode and Odin whatever didn't stick

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] knasmall:
OH YES This rom is awesome - the amount of customization is off the chart!! Stock kernel doesn't have video working for our variant so you will have to flash dark queen if that is important to you.

Once lollipop drops for our device and our baseband and modem are updated I have no doubt that this rom will even be better.
