Goldie · May 2, 2015 at 4:36 PM

BIG THANKS TO TALKINGMONKEYS WHO DID THE WORK TO PORT AND WROTE THE INSTALL GUIDE!! THANKS MAN!

We are not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone as a result of installing custom roms and/or kernels. you do so at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself.

AllianceROM© intends to give the user what THEY want. Tired of flashing Roms and having to ask for little changes to suit your taste? Tired of having to manually change colors of the toggles or the battery or move your clock or make statusbar transparent or any of the other multitude of other little color and style tweaks that Android users love? Tired of flashing AROMA installer for every little change you want to make? Tired of having to add your favourite images everytime a new rom comes out?

If you answer yes to any of these then AllianceROM is for you! We have a huge array of "on the fly" options for you to play with. Make your phone to YOUR style. YOUR color. YOUR perfection.

Available in Stock, AOSP or Black Glass themes the majority of modifications in AllianceROM are OPTIONAL. Many you wont find on any other TW ROM and some you wont find anywhere...Xposed, AOSP or otherwise! You can turn them on and off at will. We try not to impose many things on people because we realise that Android is all about INDIVIDUALITY. Make YOUR Rom and YOUR phone how YOU want it and change it on a whim.

Choose from 17 preset UI Styles (shown in screenshots tab above) and change them with a click. No rebooting

Installation Instructions:

Pre-Requisites:
Read all of these long instructions to be sure you understand anything. If it doesn't make sense then be patient and get explanations instead of screwing things up then asking for help.
Follow muniz_ri's process to get to lollipop firmware and keep root. G900A or G870A
Doing this you will get flashfire also which is needed. Thanks chainfire for another useful app. If you can't follow the instructions to install it then you shouldn't be flashing this rom.
I will also be providing SafeStrap steps for the G900A and G870A. Use Flashfire to get to lollipop though because it can do things that SafeStrap can't. The reason I still use safestrap is to have a nandroid and quickly recover from bricks or any other issues where I can't fully boot and use FlashFire.

FlashFire Method:

Open flashfire, tap the +, and then tap "Flash zip or OTA" and browse to where you saved this rom on your device and add it.
Tap the + and tap "Wipe" and check everything except internal storage (unless you want to wipe your external sdcard)
Now make sure you have the actions in the following order:
Wipe
Flash zip or OTA
Just be sure that wipe is the first thing it does. FlashFire likes to set it as last even if you select to wipe before you add the rom zip.
Check to make sure within the actions you have everything checked correctly, you can leave everroot disabled as the installer in the ROM zip does this, and also leave reboot as default.
Tap the lightning bolt and then tap OK and wait for it to do its work.

For those of you that want to have safestrap also you can easily set it up to run beside FF. Until the G870A gets an "NCE Flasher" you will need odin for it. I will also provide links to the odin tars for the kernels for the G900A just in case you softbrick and need them to recover. If this is the case don't fear all you have to do is flash the NG3 Kernel in download mode through odin and reboot then enter SS through the splash.

G900A

G870A

Awesome! Downloading now. I've heard a lot of great things about Alliance ROMs so I'm excited to give this a try.

One question though -- while it says it's "Lite" -- what about this makes it lite?

talkingmonkeys · May 29, 2015

Glad to have this here. Thanks for allowing me to port it and make sure it was ready for this release.
@Goldie the links for the extra flashable zips I made aren't actually links. Thanks for getting this out man!

Extra Mods and G870A Support

We have the activekey working for the G870A. This also adds Active Mode app. Thanks to @Morningstar and @parkerj7uc for helping me with this. I added it under Accessibility settings in Settings. This also changes the build.prop to reflect the G870A instead of G900A a little and a few files changed to the G870A ones just because its how I was taught. Should be full support for your device like @cstayton did for us on this device with 4.4.2. I will be adding that to any future version of alliancerom as well. It detects which device you have when you flash the rom and puts the appropriate files on there. For now dirty flashing this after alliancerom should do the trick. Or with the rom for a clean install. Make sure that it is flashed after the rom though.

Confirmed working as intended. Enjoy guys.

just flashed the rom on my g870a and when it flashed using FF it flashed good but when it went to load it when to the galaxy s5 active splash screen before when the samsung animation should show but it doesn't. it stayed on the galaxy s5 active splash screen. i did however here the samsung sound effects go but not visual. never booted up past the galaxy s5 active screen.

i did a battery pull and now it is loading. currently it is at the android is updating screen optimizing the apps. but it still didn't show the samsung screen. and now is on the initial start up to set up the phone. now is confirmed u have the same bug @muniz_ri's had when he made the lollipop rom with root rom. it doesn't show the samsung splash screen animation and it has a 10-15 second delay when the screen loads after boot to lock screen that the touch screen is unresponsive. i can't unlock or touch anything til it loads that part of the phone to use the phone. might wanna get with him to see what it was. i help test his rom to get that fixed but don't know what it was.

Did you wipe before flashing? It doesn't really sound like it since it was upgrading apps. It flashed fine for me when I tested it with a full wipe.

meissen · May 2, 2015

I had the same hiccup as jasonj711 - only I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (not Active) and when it rebooted after installing the Alliance ROM it showed the Samsung Galaxy S5 splash screen and although I could hear it play the chime for the Samsung animation, it stayed on the Galaxy S5 screen. I had to do a battery pull and when I booted the 2nd time it was optimizing my apps.

I'm in the set up right now and I can see minit3d battery or whatever it's called so it appears the ROM flashed successfully. Just a hiccup with the initial boot.

I am doing a re"reboot now then if same result I will refashioned see if something went wrong I know I put fill wipe. I will flash and let it sit for a bit to let it load. But the first flash acted exactly the same as @muniz_ri when he was making the lollipop\root stuff.

edit: rebooted got same result. i am reflashing now and so far it is sitting at the galaxy s5 active screen screen. i already heard the samsung logo splash animation sound but no samsung screen. i am letting it sit to finish loading to the actual phone screen. will update when finished.

edit 2: it loaded to setup screen and same delay as before will setup and reboot and see what happens.

I'll take a look at it later. I have a lot going on today. It worked fine when I tested it so it's going to frustrate me tonight.

I think it might be just something on the g870a install of it. If I remember correctly @muniz_ri had same thing was just for the active variety. Other then that the rim runs great. Take ur time Bro not in a rush. I know it is gonna bug ya til it is fixed I know How it is I am the same way.

This or tms5.0?

What's the difference between this rom and tms5.0 by talkingmonkey? Pros and cons of each? Battery life? Thanks.

This has more customization then tms5.0 . Imo tms5.0 runs a Lil smoother.

jasonj711 · May 2, 2015 at 9:26 PM

Also on the notice toon setting none of the icons are there just the words so there is no way to see if they are active or not. U can touch them to turn them on or off but no way to see if they are or not.

I had the same thing happen. It turns out that the SFinder bar overlaps the quick setting buttons. I removed the SFinder bar using the Alliance Control App (under Notification panel) and it sort-of fixed that problem. I now have a gap where the SFinder bar should be. If you try to re-enable the bar, it'll show up at the bottom (under the brightness). I haven't figured out how to get it back into the right spot yet. I tried to remove the brightness and quick setting buttons, to see if the SFinder bar would jump back up to the top, but it won't let you configure for less than 5 of the quick settings buttons.

Goldie · May 2, 2015 at 9:45 PM

Just enable and disable app bar and sfinder to get then in sync
