4.Flash The ROM.
5.IMPORTANT STEP FLASH GAPPS ALSO BEFORE BOOTING OR WILL GET BOOT LOOP. If it boot loops even after flashing gapps,please flash the init script attached to this post below.
6.Reboot and Welcome to your new ROM
Whats Working
Everything as far as I know. If you do find something not working please let me no and I will update this post
Problems

2. Some Chinese text in the camera app(thanks kemoba for pointing that out)
3. 2x4 flip clock not working (kemoba working on fix )
4. Need to readjust the date in the drop down notification bar (again thank kemoba )
5. The Recent Apps List is not shown when home button is long pressed...can anyone else confirm this too?

Hell man, i was 50% done porting MIUI v3 to our tattoo and you do it . Good job. MediaFire mirror please...
I found a couple of annoying things in this rom,
1. The names of folders and apps in the launcher are ither too blured or too small
2. In camera settings, picture size there is lets say 2048 x 1536 (Chinese Stuff), I think it is saying 3M
3. In the notification bar, when you pull it down it says the date which is on the left enge end it`s sticking to it, maby to push it a bit right or even center the damn thing
4. When you take the Clock 2x4 and put it on your home screen it just says loading widget and it stays like that forever
5. Missing or I don`t look in the right way, Screen calibration app
6. The music widget has a big line across it, and a thin one going from the top to bottom.
Other then that, great ROM, blazing fast. Camera quality awsome.
EDIT:
7. Chinese text when adding a new contact via Dialer

Thanks...I will try to fix them in the coming days....I have exams now...also I would like to tell everyone to not press the torch app..cause if u click it once u will never get your lockscreen back even after rebooting...u will have to reset again...I will remove the app in next release!!!
About the Music Widget..the two lines donot appear when a music cover art is shown.

[q] which kernel is this miui using?
ciao, the interface is very nice. I would give a try. Just a question: which kernel is using?

Man, this rom is nice but I can barely boot into it becouse my phone can't work @675 Mhz. Can you set the cpu clock speed @633 or @614 Mhz for us who have problems with higher speeds?

Did you flash Gapps after flashing the ROM....cause if you don't it will boot loop...the cpu default is 652mhz...I overclocked it on my phone to 675mhz
...
Yes, I flashed them immediately but when my phone boots, it works for 2 mins, then loses signal and reboot.

Thats strange..not happened to me...Have been using it for 2 days now...after you boot try reducing the speed from the settings<system<cyanogenmod settings<performance
As soon as it boots i think it says system not responding...did you force close it then??if you did then dont the next time!

Well, first when I flashed this rom and gapps, it booted to the setup wizard and told me to click on the android. It wasn't responding and it told me to wait or force close it. I clicked on force close and then continued to set up my mail account but my phone crashed and rebooted. After that, my phone skipped the set up wizard and booted to lock screen but becouse of a little bit higher speed, it crashed and rebooted. And after that, it could work for 2-3 mins. and rebooted again.
If I want to go to settings, it crashes(becouse of cpu speed).
I reflashed the rom and the gapps again(did full wipe) but after that I couldn't pass the android.
It seems it's a nice rom so I would like you to fix it and downclock the cpu @614 so people like me can enter the rom. I'm pretty sure that it will work good @614, 633.

The click the android thingy happened to me too, i was polite at first, waited. When i realised that he is messing with me, I said a few F words and clicked all over the place and i got around it somehow
EDIT. Had to reflash due to F****** Torch app, find out a way to bypass it, when it says touch android, hold the back button, it will ask to enable long press back to kill app, enable it. Then long press back to kill it, it should reopen, but when you click the android it should crash so FC it and viola you bypassed the F****** thing
I will release an update today removing the torch app, add HTC calibration, some build.prop tweaks...won't be able to do the resizing in this one...will do in next update.
Also can anyone confirm that long pressing the home button doesn't bring up the recent apps list?
New Release

LG O4X UnoX SENSE4 ALPHA RELEASEYou thought you never see a HTC SENSE with BeatsAudio interface on O4X? This is the ALPHA release of SENSE 4.0 (version 2.17.401.2) and using STOCK LG kernel for your LG Optimus 4X HD
Latest update 10.Jan.2013
Changed build to avoid conflict with team venoms mods, this should be more stock now.
It is now a ClockWorkMod Update.zip using AROMA installer.
alot changed and yet, no GSM is working but i am getting closer.
***STATUS***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is very early developer release, more a proof of concept, to help others start porting or even developing roms, without thinking the locked bootloader will limit the distribution. so regular users, will probably not use this for anything since mobile connectivity is not working.
but if you wish to check performance and maybe test some performance here, this is a way to do it and compare.
Any contribution to fixing the RIL driver in this one or other fixes are appreciated, feel free to make patches if you can help improve this.
***WHY***
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the O4X community have been almost dead and not a single custom rom has been released, primarily because many believe a unlocked bootloader is needed.
WHAT WORKS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
GSM Mobile Radio - NO
AUDIO - YES (+ BEATS AUDIO works fine with headset)
PHOTO CAMERA - YES (FRONT is very,very dark, BACK camera is ok)
VIDEO CAMERA - YES (for now only 1080p recording, 1280x720 closes camera, change in settings)
VIDEO PLAYBACK - YES
MICROPHONE - YES
WIFI - YES
GPS - YES
BLUETOOTH - YES (Wifi seems affected by enabling bluetooth at bootup, and no wifi connectivity exists, so disable BT at bootup)
ROTATION - YES
YOUTUBE - YES
MOST SENSORS - YES
VIBRATION - NO
NFC - YES (No icon when activated, but works fine with included NFCtag+)
PC CONNECTION - NO (not worked on it)
INT / EXT SDCARD - YES (without sdcard, camera cannot save to internal storage)
NOTES ON FIRST USE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- First start can take 5-6 minutes due to a process waiting for media scanner.
- in /system folder, you can rename "local.prop1" to "local.prop" , and you can enable adb root.
- its based on v10d, i do not know if the boot.img is required, but remove it if you wish to try it without. (remember to edit md5 checksum file if you do)
- do not try and install recovery from the CWM app, just use it to reboot into cwm, do NOT install recovery, its already in place and modified to work with sense.

you can modify the existing backup, by editing the nandroid.md5 checksum file, remove the "system.ext4.tar" line in the md5 file
and rename the "system.ext4.tar.a" to "system.ext4.tar" . and of course do the same with the real tar file.
then it should look pretty much like old backups
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
after the upload,
i have checked GPS and NFC.
GPS is confirmed working
NFC needed fixing but it works now , althoug icon is gone, and the NFCplus app works too, so you can modify tags
wow NICE!! almost had a mini heart attack when i saw this post!:fingers-crossed:
looking forward to working CALL XDD

i've been stuck in the setup wizard for so long now, i managed to get past the language/locale selection screen but I'm stuck in the next screen where venom setup is.
Anyone managed to get past this screen? can i delete setupwizard to bypass this process?
EDIT: finally get past the setup wizard!!! ultra smooth rom!!!
i know this is ALPHA but thought i should post a list of things i found not working so maybe someone can fix it =)
- Vibration not working
- Google Voice Search not working
- mount ext-sdcard not working
- Flashlight not working
- Whatsapp doesn't work (it says "Tablet is not supported" so i guess there's sth wrong with the IMEI or build.prop)
- pressing "settings" in camera app crash the app itself
- "Share" option is unusable (tested both by email and by Google+)
BUT
- Camera app works GREAT with rear camera!!!!!
- most if not all widgets work (though i didn't test all of them, most of them work!!! without a lag)
- Speaker works

thanks for the report back, and yes, i am aware of the setup screen bug, it also seems to relate to the customization process hanging in the background, so it will hang for some time too, sorry. porting is not always easy
edit: i believe the problem rely in the SIMcard not being detected as you might note, the simcard screen normally shown is not being shown, which asks to insert sim. it also seems the the firmware seems to tell the htc software it is a CDMA phone, so this might also be the problem why gsm is not working. this is seen in the radio log.
- i noted the other things, and flashlight is the only one i am not looking at, as our flashlight is different and can be damaged if i try to make it like a lightbulb i think. (do not know and do not want to find out)
- we got no IMEI yet, since phone is not working, so the whatsapp might have a different issue or as you say, it does not exist. build.prop is pretty much OneX original here.
- external sdcard works fine here, i wonder why you cannot see it in storage settings?
- i do not know why googlevoice do not work, ill check up on it, probably relate to recording format, which i noted only works with AAC and not AMR format.

external sd is not accessible in the default file manager? but if i use another file manager (FX Explorer), i can access the extSD
but in storage settings, everytime i try to unmount the sd, settings.apk crashes
but as an alpha "port" (sort of), the rom is ULTRA-SMOOTH, wish at least GSM call work soon:silly:

ok i see now.
this the the HTC way of having external sdcard, the semi way, since they officially do no longer make many top models with sdcard.
the location of external sdcard is at /mnt/sdcard2 and internal is /mnt/sdcard
let me check up on the unmounting, i already got some fixes, but not GSM, sorry, that require alot more it seems to fix.
about the GSM part, it is strange that both OneX and O4X uses a radio chipset with QUO 6260 radio, but they flash firmware different ways, so that makes it incompatible somehow.
Great job man!
I will join your development as soon as I finish my exams (2-3 weeks) so the LG 4X community gets alive. Will read your thread in the meantime.
Making a backup now while downloading this rom.
Thank you so much for your time and effort Dexter!
Sense 4.1 is actually pretty smooth on our O4X. Too bad radio is somehow turned off. I would rock this rom as my daily once radio gets solved. But for now, everything else seems to be working. Beats works great too. Camera is good, but video FCs.

getting DRM working little better here, i simply copied the generated RSA keys from /data to a tar file and extract it at every boot, but not sure how i get the lgeril to load it now, since its htc based.
for the camera, i simply use a camera from another htc 4.0.4 release and it works fine. probably related to resolution of camera and it works now recording in 1080p as well.
Q&A for [ROM][GPL]Clean_Cm_7.2[26-05-2014]
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Possible bug
First of all: Awesome ROM! Never knew CM 7.2 could be this fast and stable!
Second: I've possibly found two bugs:
1, Entering "Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Lockscreen settings/Delay and timeout" always cause a FC.
Always.
Have tried rebooting and shutting down but the FC remain.
2, Power button does not activate lockscreen, it only shuts the screen off. Pressing power button again or home button will go directly to home screen. The only way to activate lockscreen is to let screen timeout.
Have tried different screen locks but nothing makes power button behave differently.
I've searched around in setting for a way around this but so far unsuccessfull.
Maybe the two issues are related.
And now some requests:
* A big button keyboard? Stock was good with big buttons for my sausage fingers.
* Ability to easily add foreign language keyboards (not system language) and dictionaries.
* Remove delete thread confirmation in messages.
* Remove confirmation when enabling storage by USB connection.
* Ability to easily add sounds without trying to find the setting for each event. Still haven't found out how to change the alarm sound...
I'm not really sure what is causing your problems as I never faced these issues. My suggestion is the following.
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Format system
3. Wipe data&factory reset
4. Install Rom
5. Reboot
6. Reboot again
I take it, that you did not change the Rom package?

This is fairly easy, just drop the sounds into /system/media/audio/alarms
Our create a folder structure like media/sounds/alarms on your sdcard.
I hope that helps.

Thank you for the help!
The "Delay and timeout" setting kept getting FC, until I went into security setting and disabled all security (pattern, pin, e.t.c.).
After that there was no more FC, and I could change the settings in "Delay and timeout". This also fixed the other "bug" which was power button not locking screen. Subsequently I could again change back security settings to pattern.
The other things I can live with! :laugh:
B.t.w. do you know any kernel that supports adaptive undervolting/overvolting combined with underclocking/overclocking? Also, is there any better governor than "ondemand"?
Suggestions for task killers? Many recommend Greenify but it won't run on android 2.3.x.
My aim is to have maximum battery life when on standby, while still having good performance in times of need.
Thanks again!

I will dig out my old mini and see if I can reproduce that bug. I never used any security pattern, so that might be the reason I never had any trouble.

I don't think that there is a kernel that supports custom uv for the galaxy mini. However I found that the ondemand governor works very well. I could never really complain leaving it on 600 mhz. I have to admit though that it is an old phone, so don't expect any wonders .
My battery backup was always a minimum of 2 days, but I don't do any gaming. I used my phone as a phone... ( And a bit of music and internet).
Taskkillers are generally a bad idea, as they will just cause a cat and mouse game between them and a dodgy app. I'm not sure if the xposed module (I think the name is something with service disable) was backported to gingerbread. Anyway I never used it and if you want to try something maybe go for "auto start disabler free" from the playstore. That is what I used.
I hope this helps to enjoy your mini a bit more
New bug
OK I guess I have to play around with settings and apps to see how battery life can be extended.
B.t.w. I found a new bug: Camera shutter sound can't be disabled. Even when turned off in CM settings the camera will still play the click.
This is the best rom i have been used
its light, fast, and very stable.
thats what i want

you can just wipe and then flash this rom..
i'm from jelly bean rom too, and i'd do that
Damn man! Your ROM is completely stable, really like it a lot .. I personally recommended this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499191 to you guys cause it is looks PERFECT to combine with the HOLO Launcher by Mobint, if you guys confront with lagging issue, just use this setting (Setting > CyanogenMod setting > Performance > CPU Setting & select Governors choose to PERFORMANCE and set MAX CPU Frequency to 806 MHz & reboot
ICS Theme that I found
This theme i found on xda is a great companion with this rom and HOLO Launcher
Bootsplash
Can I flash a "bootsplash.zip" in this ROM?
Make a backup first and then try...
Next time try to ask in a nice way and I might test it for you...
Wooaar? Its seems I can't flash the "bootanimation.zip" [installation aborted]
S5 bootanimation that I dig from xda website
you should reconsidered to place back the GINGERBREAD "Zombie ART" picture as it will brings an original ROM feels ... and sorry for asking that way the other day, it was a joke, sorry dude .. btw you did really a good job
Since when is a boot animation flashable anyway? You should just put it into system/media.
But I also deleted the script that executes the boot animation from /bin, so you would have to replace that as well.
I will not put the zombie art back in, as it is of no use, but just steals space.
Already tried to put it at system/media, but didn't works .. tell me about the script please? how to replace it
and take a look at this dude http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708316
This is indeed a flashable zip. Two things come to my mind.
1. Your recovery simply doesn't like the zip. Which version are you using?
2. Your zip is broken. Maybe the download did not finish?
In either way you have to replace the bootanimation binary in /bin. You can grab it from any rom, replace it and give it the proper permissions. Our you wait till I come back home and upload it for you.
I use yagya CWM 5.0.2.8 Touch recovery and indeed I finished the download 100% using IDM .. really hope you can help me .. thanks btw
Ok, as I have no power for today and my laptop is empty I quickly patched something up in my phone. I'm not sure if that is going to work...
Give it a shot and let me know.
Flash via recovery.

> Rom's Notes.
Who installs this Rom, accept it "as is".
Contains just the apps and options installed.
What you want to add will have to be obtained from Google-Play or any other sources.
Please, don't report bugs if you are not using the installed Dhollmen Kernel.
In case of questions or comments, you must indicate additional apps, tweaks or installed "optimizations".
if you insert images, do it in a 'hide' tag. This hide your image until an user click to show it.
I assume you has installed a suitable Recovery and know how to perform the required steps.
Keep in mind that Antutu and others related apps give you very similar values, regardless of the Rom used.
In such apps, OC influence on speed, but its goal is to evaluate the hardware, not the Rom.
Don't use any kind of overclock before three consecutive stability test in Antutu.
> Rom take a long time to boot after installing.
It is quite normal because ART is used and applications are self-compiled at first boot time, after installing a new Rom.
> Applications are slow to start after installing.
It is quite normal because ART is used and have self-compiled before first use.
Although it may seem at times, the Rom is not hung, just have to wait.
> Get Root access.
In Settings app, entering development option and select Root access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Performance.
> Get Performance access.
If you don't see these items, we activate:
Touch repeatedly on About tablet > build number. From now on, initial setting screen show that option, plus Development option.
> Google Apps (Gapps).
All Gapps packages available are virtually identical.
Only differ, from each other, in the amount of installed applications.
Never two different packages must be installed as likely to cause Google applications FC.
The Dhollmen Gapps, being valid for any Rom, are specifically adapted for installation on it.
> Viper4 - Convolver - IRS.
This application controls the System Sound FX.
It also includes a number of advanced pre-equalizer settings (made by others) that are the IRS whose installation files requested.
Access to Convolver (manager of the IRS) is obtained by selecting the option Expert in Experience Settings.
Using another equalizer (provided by external applications) usually interfere with it.
You can only have one active equalizer in the system, but if you want to use another one, kindly Viper4 can be turned off.
> Restoring backups.
It is very common Titanium Backup (or similar) problems in Rom.
If backup /data partition are made and, after a change of Rom, restored, usually side effects will occur.
In this directory and subdirectories it contains, there are many configuration files and internal databases.
When it comes to a specific application should not be a problem as long as it is not part of the Rom.
When sub-directories containing settings are restored, the likelihood of problems increases exponentially.
For example, all Roms have a Settings application, but the content of his configurations differs between them and is not interchangeable.
Under no circumstances you should restore /system partition apps.
> Brick Bug.
Don't worry about.
No problems here
> Recovery.
In the wave of failures of equipment, widely discussed and until the problem is completely cleared
The user is strongly advised not to use another recovery than Dhollmen TWRP-2.8.0.5 or Andi TWRP-2.8.0.1

Everything is working except GPS.
When opening an app for the first time it's really slow, after reopening it's faster. Seems pretty good for initial release.
Keep up the good work.
look promising, shall give a try
btw no keyboard tng this time?

Installed, i cant get the sound to work, checked driver status on equaliser menu and it says "abnormal"
p3110, fresh install, wiped everithing even internal storage.
Confirmed no sound on 3110. Looks like the audio.primary.default.so file in /system/lib/hw was omitted when compiling for 3110. Just for the heck of it, I downloaded the 3100 build and the .so file was present in that rom. So, I just took the audio.primary.default.so from the 3100 build and put it in the 3110 build, sound working fine now.
I archived the file in the 3110 zip, then flashed the rom but you can also push the file with a root file explorer. Just make sure to set proper permissions and then reboot for it to take effect.
Or, you can just wait for the OP to fix the 3110 build.

OP, is the rom running on Dhollmen kernel for LP ..
Thank you Tux for bringing lollipop to Dhollmen.
Everything works fine. Smoother than CM12.
Titanium backup has issues with stock Root. Hence flashed supersu 2.45 to fix it.
How does one switch from the samsung keyboard dock to the on screen keyboard? I went to settings, then to language and input and the choice was grayed out. Is this something where if I have the dock option installed, that I can only use a keyboard dock?
What this rom based on ... ???

Can the cast screen option be working?
Also tried casting screen through Chromecast app, sound is coming but no video.
This is the audio.primary.default.so from the P3100 build for anyone who needs it.
Do not forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- / chmod 644

By any chance is there app to SD card support?
By what I can see, yes. See screenshot.
** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! I am not a developer, but this manual port taught me a lot. This was a personal project of trial and error, and research that turned into a stable ROM. Thought I'd share how I did it. I do not take credit for this ROM or kernel**
DISCLAIMER: Your warranty is now void. Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device! Read this whole OP!
**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Download the Alliance BETA and read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.
Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**
1. Make sure you are on a OAF Lollipop ROM without xposed installed. I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM originally. Download the most recent multisystem kernel. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.
2. On your Verizon Lollipop ROM make copies on your SD card of:
- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt
- system/etc/apns-config.xml
- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml
- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so
- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent, vzwapnpermission & **SecSetupWizard2013**
- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk
- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders
- system/csc folder
4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything except SD card.
5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of your lollipop ROM OAF (Wipe everything EXCEPT data, internal storage, and SD). Then flash the most recent multisystem kernel.
6. Once booted up and apps are optimized wait until the screen turns off by itself. Download root browser and delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!
Reboot
7. Using root browser, swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents. If a permission is incorrect or you leave a file out there can be issues and a restore might be needed.). Let apps optimize. **Longest Step**
Reboot
8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true
</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Above the two bottom tags:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off !
Reboot
9. Perform a factory reset within the settings. Let phone relax for like 10 mins after it boots. Go through the setup wizard and then reboot.
Reboot into recovery
10. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM
I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.
**READ ME**
Bugs:
- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.
**
- Battery section in settings is missing
- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar
(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)
**
- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up **(see update at the bottom)**
- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing)
- My volume titles are not correct (Ringtone, media, notifications, and system.) when I press the volume buttons. (**Workaround download Noyze Volume Panel for free from the developer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-noyze-volume-panel-replacement-t2875501
Give Tombarr a thanks for developing such a slick and customizable app**)
11/18/15:
- Just started using voicemail for the first time in 6 years. Good thing because today I experienced a glitch that it would not let me hang up the phone after listening to voicemails for some reason, but it didn't do that when I was clearing voicemails. (Hangs up automatically after a certain amount of time) Maybe it happens to new voicemails. Also I'm assuming since the verizon voice mail app isn't installed I get a weird unreadable verizon text when I get a new voicemail.
- One hand mode is not in the settings. Not sure why
Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.
I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work (stay away from performance), but most does work and it's awesome!
This manual port is now stable and buttery smooth! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.
Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !
UPDATE:
To update Alliance settings to the most recent version and remove 3mintbattery mod download the newest T-Mobile Alliance ROM v1.1
1. Use ES File Explorer and click on the Alliance ROM you just downloaded to open the archive.
2.
- Extract system/privapp/SystemUI/SYSTEMUI.apk
- In the system/app folder extract AllianceControl folder (towards the top) and all the loose apps without folders at the bottom to a folder on your sd card.
3. Make a system and data backup in TWRP just in case things go wrong. Reboot system
4. Swap all those files and folders in their appropriate file locations and change the folder permissions to 755 and files to 644. Take this step slow and make sure the old files are renamed to .old or overwritten. If a permission is incorrect or you leave a file out there can be issues and a restore might be needed.
5. In system/app folder delete the old loose Alliancecontrol.apk, and delete 3mintbattery.apk
6. Reboot and enjoy!
This is the final release of this ROM so we are all up to date ! :good:

I'm pretty sure it would but you need to figure out the sprint specific apps to make the system happy. And flash your sprint kernel after you dirty flash. The dirty flash skips the setup which makes it possible to boot correctly.
Would you mind sharing the Rick's ROM that you used? I looked at his thread, but the download links are no longer available. Thank you in advance for your help!

Damn thats not good. I do not think I am allowed to share the ROM, as it's not mine. But I do not know how to share it anyways. I would just odin back to 4.4.4. and go through the upgrade process to OAF. Or you can try to de-xpose MoRom after a clean flash. I think there are two things you need to remove one being the xposed installer and the other I don't know the exact name but use root browser, search for xposed in the system folder, delete it, and reboot. No sure if it will messed anything up but I don't think it will. Then dirty flash the alliance beta and continue from there. Let me know how it goes!

Thank you for your response. I ODIN'd back to OAF and went through the steps in your tutorial. My phone booted up and I then proceeded to replace the files/folders and set permissions. I thought I was careful, but once I tried to reboot, the phone would not come back up.
Is there a way to make the changes (file permissions and replacing them in the ROM) on a PC?
Is there a way to share your edited files so that we could simply paste them into the ROM?
Just thought I would ask. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Damn thats a bummer. Even if I shared the files you would still need to change the permissions. I think it is possible unzip a verizon ROM and unzip Alliance rom and replace the files and then zip it back up on the computer and then dirty flash that but everytime I zip it back up it never flashes. It seems that when I zip it back up it adds an extra folder that makes it unflashable but haven't taken the time to figure out how to make it work. Try starting over and getting the ROM to boot then make a nandroid of that so you have something to restore. This is what I did when I was trying to get everything working. Next time try not adding the camera files and .jar file and add them after a reboot. Let me know how it goes.
Added the setup as one of the files to copy over so a factory reset can be performed to make sure you're starting with a fresh system. This is the first day I did this and I had to pull the battery twice due to freezes after I factory reset. I didn't let the phone sit and let it settle. I would recommend you let it sit and relax for like 10 mins. I have not had any lock ups since this morning. Lemmi know how it goes!
After the factory reset the ROM is flying. As for the battery I cannot say yet but I know I did not have the best battery life on this ROM before. It did get me through the day so I was happy about that. I calibrated the battery but that is about it. If any devs knows any battery optimizations that can be made to the system without xposed please share!
I heard from a user that Xposed works on this ROM. I personally do not use it though. As for battery life I've noticed better results after I disabled automatic check for updates in the settings. Settings > About device > Software Updates and uncheck auto check for updates. This ROM for some reason does not have the audio issues that I experienced on MoROMs ROM. I am happy about that. Now that we finally have the 5.1.1. update I am going to try and port a ROM that looks good. If anybody wants to give this a stab with me that would be great to test multiple ROMs from different carriers and see which one gives us the best results. Thanks
Got something amazing in the works!
Nandroid backup
Can someone send me a nandroid backup of this I'm worried about messing up my phone up
Is there a way to install this rom in the same manner as the kyobi note 5 port? I'm running that now, but would like to try this one out. I've tried a few times but just can't seem to get this one up and running.
Thanks in advance and have a blessed day!

I don't recommend dirty flashing from Kyubi. You should try clean flashing MoRom then copying those files from the system. Then dirty flash Alliance, then multisystem kernel:

Yeah ,I am trying to pull the files I need from my stock ROM backup that I just freshly installed on my device. I stumbled upon a forum here today called Guides There seems to be ALOT of usefull stuff in here about Porting and Building ROM's. I don't know if you have ever come across it or not.
