Does Alliance Framework work on 920v? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

My search function on XDA isn't working, so I'm hoping for an answer this way (plus I can't post on that forum due to less than 10 posts).
Wondering if this Alliance Framework v4.0 works on our 920v phones? I have read that Xposed doesn't work, so I'm hoping for this. Thank you!

A couple of people reported that it is not working on the Verizon S6 or edge unfortunately.

There is one ROM with the Alliance framework version 1.1 baked in. The dev mentions that special work was required to bake it in which would indicate to me that it won't work as is.
You could give that ROM a try though.

Yeah, I tried that one, but didn't really like it. I'm running a stock root right now and oddly my battery life is much better than when I was using Clean or Syndicate.

[TOOL] Auto Deodex/Debloat AT&T One X

This tool will automatically deodex your AT&T One X if its rooted and has Busybox installed (one click root tool already does all of this for you). This should make it easier for folks to install modifications since we don't have a CWM .zip of deodexed files quite yet.
http://briefmobile.com/auto-deodex-tool-for-htc-one-x-att
Also, developers are encouraged to take a look at the batch commands. You guys can make custom ROM installers and such with very little effort. This will work until we have CWM.
Edit: Linux version thanks to JeepFreak! http://www.filefactory.com/file/58m4z62jgn51/n/linux-light-deodex_tar_gz
JeepFreak - This currently only works for the 1.72.X releases. It has not been successful on the leaked updates.
Downloading right now.
Will report back with results.
Edit: links are broken.
I click to download it, and says page not found
Oops, didn't realize previous poster had edited to say it.
Page Not Found
That page does not exist.
Will test this out as soon as links are back up. will report back for any issues.
Thanks kenn!!!
Will this work on the Rogers version too?
can i just install busybox from the market?
My bad folks! Links fixed. Just forgot an http://

It should work on a Rogers device, although you guys already have CWM (which is much easier/less messy). You can certainly install busybox through the market if you're rooted.

Deodex is a success.

Total noob here and had to look up what Deodex does. If this article is correct, then this is mostly just useful for theming? Otherwise what would be the benefit of this?

yep, Im converting my rom to this. So be patient for another hour
EDIT: Currently testing the batch...
Worked perfectly!! Full deodex on at&t hox
how is deodexing a rom going to give you anything else than whats already on your rogers device?
So flash our CWM then this tool?
caution-
just a kind word of caution to fellow users:
the first time i ran this i got a soft brick, probably because i was already partially debloated.
however,
i flashed the stock RUU, rerooted, retried this program and it seems to have worked just fine. thanks for the tool!

The biggest thing is he now has a base. I sent Scott our system dump and boot.img files and he put something together, and while he couldn't test it, I did at the risk of bricking my phone so we can all have a clean base for ROMS. You're welcome

There are zero advantages to the "average" person. None at all...
Unless you fall into these categories...
1. Screwed your phone up and half the things just don't work right because you "read something on the internet to make your phone (battery last longer, speed it up, random useless failed feature here)" and it didint quite go the way you expected it to and you cannot send TXT messages (just a random made up example). This would be a great way to fix that...
2. You flashed "Dev A's" ROM and you realized that the color (random color here) is not for you and you are about to go insane but are on the road so you can just flash this back to get back to a stock look.
3. You want to build your own ROM for personal use and you really dont know where to begin but you know what apps you DONT want in the phone. Yo could use this base to get started.
4. Your another Dev that doesnt have the experience of setting up a stock rooted ROM and may need to use this base to get started. Many people use my stock rooted ROMS across a MULTITUDE of devices because they trust that they are as close to perfect in all aspects as possible. (I was a newb once too and needed to use other stock roots).
If you dont fit into those categories... Then this rom has no value to you.

Which ROM is everyone using on their Sprint Note Edge?

I am currently on stock rooted NK1 on my Sprint Note Edge. Has any created or tried using a different ROM that works on our phone? Just haven't seen much development with our version of the Edge.
I'm using the same ROM for now... and yes some development would be nice... I was gonna start the same thread myself. We really need some activity, where are the ROMs? It doesn't have to be all bells and stuff, but something.... possibly with native Hotspot working, & the stereo speaker mod included. I wouldn't be opposed to some Vanilla Lollipop but I'm sure that's a long way off.
Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk 2
I hate these types of threads.
There are 2 ROMs right now, both stock. If these are not top your liking then you can build a new one or try to encourage some one to build it for you (digest what you want and put up some cash). Complaining that there is not enough development is useless, is like going to city hall and complaining that there are not enough parks, but then telling the mayor you are not willing to pay more taxes. Anything you are not woolf to do your self or willing to pay for must not be that important to you.
That said I've been modding away at my phone, but my primary focus had been on fiddling with the radio to fond a domestic/international unlock and enabling disabled LTE frequencies. To me these are more important then ROMs. I math work on ROMs later though. Using an international/T-Mobile ROM shouldn't prove to hard, probably will just need a few modifications and it would work.
I'm just running rooted NK1 with:
Greenify
CWM recovery
Xposed various modules
Sound mod
This combo gives me all I need so haven't really been looking for any complete ROMS... (yet)

Really? Well that's awesome - I'll edit my thread then. Thanks for letting me know it worked out for you! In my free time I've been just going through the EntitlementcheckService app source to see if I can change it to just simply allow us to use it without even working about changing our build.prop. From using logcat it seems like it still goes through some provisioning when it detects it's an AT&T device (even when you using net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in the build.prop).

Yes, still had Bluetooth issues...after flashing due to the instructions...and NOT wiping. So....I wiped, and don't seem to have any Bluetooth issues. I NOW have Google "Always On" issues.

This looks interesting, what kernel did you install after installing the ROM itself. I"ve seen Boeffla, SmartPack, and Phoenix for TW Roms for verizon. There could be others I suppose in other threads though.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option. Debloated as it is, is really nice, I'd say it's one of , if not, the fastest TW rom out. But I'm looking for something to debloat myself if possible as I wanted the theme engine from another newer phone like for example the s7/8/9 or note series or whatever phone, but substratum would be the shiznit.
Thanks for the reply, and I'm still collecting info from everyone else the more opinions the merrier IMHO that way not only myself but maybe others can make a decision.
I ran Phoenix 15 a while bak and it was a pain to install and use. But the theme engine worked flawlessly. I have all the files from one of the newer phones I found somewhere that after you copy them to the right places and restart your phone you can use s7 or s8 themes I beleieve.
Ahh that's cool the csc code can meke you TW ROM think your phone is something else... VERY COOL>

I like phones that look like "official", "untouched" and don't use rooted phones in everyday life.
That's why I use stock SM-G900V kernel for both CID15 and 11.
But if you have a CID15 phone, you can unlock the bootloader and use any kernel, of course.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option.

Yes, the most obvious options are the APNs for local operators (I'm on the opposite side of the Globe from Verizon ) and some useful features as the phone call voice recorder.
But mostly I use this ROM because it's international and contains many languages - I use 2 languages besides English in my everyday life .
On the other hand, SM-G900V is a very good and inexpensive device and works just excellent with this ROM.

Nothing special.
The main idea is to use the system image from a good international ROM and the rest of firmware parts from the most recent G900V stock ROM.
Devbase idea is great and beautiful itself but I think is not that much needed for G900V.
Personally I use this ROM in stock unrooted variant.
The ROM (system image) is flashed to G900V from SafeStrap recovery.

Personally you use which rom?
My issues or quirks so far, going back to older twrp, just the right one so that my SD can be read, and I think none of the earlier versions that allow aroma to function correctly, can deal with my ExtSD that is set as internal in storage in N and O. So, I bit the bullet and tried a couple taking care to flash the correct kernel in each case. However, my efforts were fruitless, and I ended up completely wiped. And while I keep a lot backed up regularly, It had been a while but I didn't lose much important stuff but more like stuff I just don't like having to chase down, like the latest magisk, nanodroids zips, xposed, custom kernel, and so on..
Either way, after trying two different roms, Nemesis and Noise, which I was really looking forward to running, neither worked well. I can't remember making calls or sending texts, but I do remember a lot of apps crashing constantly but perhaps there's more to do that select a kernel, the one thing they ask you to select doesn't have an option for vzw. The code thing, that's probably what screwed me on both attempts.
For those who are wondering, there's the phoenix ROM in the vzw dev thread. It does have the theme engine from Samsung. I just wanted to try something like Noise or another Rom.
Also I remember downloading the files needed from somewhere to add to a stock rom to add the theme engine. There's quite a bit, but I'm almost certain this would work, for the theme engine, but I'd like to try some of the newer samsung apps.
I kinda really hate going back to to stock based rom because I have a feeling it's not going to be up to date with security patches. That's one thing I like about running Oreo, and even Nougat, there have been several dev's / builders releasing roms with the latest security patches baked in.. RR for example on AndroidFileHost, I think I saw viper, and others as well.
I'm still undecided at this point, and I'm just getting my apps back and with everything else after my accidential SD wipe when I tried to install one of the roms. That really sucked because my last full phone backup was a year ago.
Keep me posted if you guys get any of those ROM's from there working.
Well I've tried a couple and none of them have cell service of any type working for me. I've tried Noise and Unique to no avail. Unique booted fine but no service, Noise wouldn't get past the initial boot screen. This is just my experience so YMMV.
Oh, I've had excellent luck with the Phoenix ROM for CID 15 phones. Everything works as it should. But I still prefer AOSP or LOS based ROMS. If I can only get data working as it should when I'm not on Verizon towers.
